Hadith 248
وعن فضالة بن عبيد رضي الله عنه قال : سمع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم رجلا يدعو في صلاته ولم يحمد الله ولم يصل على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقال :« عجل هذا » ثم دعاه فقال : « إذا صلى أحدكم فليبدأ بتحميد ربه والثناء عليه ثم يصلي على النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ثم يدعو بما شاء » رواه أحمد والثلاثة وصححه الترمذي وابن حبان والحاكم.
Narrated Fadalah bin 'Ubaid (RA): Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) heard a man supplicating during his prayer. He did not praise Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet (ﷺ). He (ﷺ) said, "He made haste." He then called him and said, "When any of you prays, he should begin with the glorification of his Rabb (Lord) and praise Him; he should then invoke blessings on the Prophet (ﷺ); thereafter he should supplicate Allah for anything he wishes." [Ahmad and ath-Thalathah reported it; a-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)].
