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.'"

Brief Explanation
1؎: From this hadith, the dislike (karahah) of those artificial, rhymed, and metrical supplications (duas) is derived, which the later generations have invented, and the ignorant become enamored with their words. The best supplications are those that are authentically established from the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam); he preferred concise and comprehensive supplications.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
It is necessary to keep in mind the greatness and reverence of Allah Ta'ala in supplication (du'a).
➋
Whoever reaches Paradise (Jannah) will receive there every thing that he desires; therefore, it is not necessary to mention the details of the blessings of Paradise in supplication.
➌
It is permissible to supplicate for Jannat al-Firdaws or for the neighborhood of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), because glad tidings for these have been mentioned regarding certain deeds.

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).
