بَابٌ فِيمَا يُسْتَفْتَحُ بِهِ الدُّعَاءُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ سُبْحَانَهُ ، وَالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - .
Opening supplication with good praise of Allah and with blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
Majma al-Zawaid 17255 — Opening supplication with good praise of Allah
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ : إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالْمِدْحَةِ وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ، ثُمَّ لِيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - ثُمَّ لِيَسْأَلْ بَعْدُ ; فَإِنَّهُ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يَنْجَحَ . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَرِجَالُهُ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ إِلَّا أَنَّ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِيهِ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When any one of you wishes to supplicate, he should first praise and extol Allah Almighty as befits His majesty, then send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and then supplicate, for then it is more likely to succeed (that is, to be accepted).
Al-Tabarani recorded it, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except that Abu Ubaydah did not hear from his father (that is, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)).
