It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "All works of righteousness and goodness together are half of worship, while supplication is the remaining half. So when Allah Almighty intends good for one of His servants, He inclines his heart and makes it devoted to supplication and intimate prayer in His presence."
Imam Ahmad bin Mani' transmitted this narration; however, its chain contains Muhammad bin al-Hasan bin Abi Yazid al-Hamdani, who is a liar and matruk (abandoned), while Bakr bin Khunays is also da'if (weak), for which reason this narration is severely weak.
