حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ , حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , أَنْبَأَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ , عَنْ أَبِي نَعَامَةَ , أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُغَفَّلٍ , سَمِعَ ابْنَهُ , يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْرَ الْأَبْيَضَ عَنْ يَمِينِ الْجَنَّةِ , إِذَا دَخَلْتُهَا , فَقَالَ : أَيْ بُنَيَّ ! سَلِ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَعُذْ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ , فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " سَيَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ " .
´It was narrated from Abu Na'amah that :` 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal heard his son say: "O Allah, I ask You for the white palace on the right-hand side of Paradise, when I enter it." He said: "O my son, ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge with Him from Hell, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (saas) say: 'There will be people who will transgress in supplication.'"

Benefits and Issues:
➊ It is understood that to waste excessive water in purification (istinja, ablution [wudu], ritual bath [ghusl], etc.) is impermissible. Especially, to fall into doubt regarding istinja is not from the Shariah; rather, after ablution, one should sprinkle water on the private area.
➋ Supplication (dua) should also be comprehensive, just as those transmitted and prescribed from the Noble Qur’an and the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
