Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 10508 — I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud say

Umm al-Fayd, the freed slave-woman of Abd al-Malik bin Marwan, said: I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) say: Whoever makes this supplication on the evening of Arafah, as long as he does not ask for something sinful or for the severing of family ties, his supplication will certainly be answered: "Glory be to the One whose Throne is in the heaven; glory be to the One whose footstool is on the earth; glory be to the One whose path is in the sea; glory be to the One whose decree is (carried out) in the graves; glory be to the One whose mercy is in Paradise; glory be to the One whose authority is in Hell; glory be to the One whose spirit is in the air; glory be to the One who raised the heaven; glory be to the One who laid out the earth; glory be to the One from whom there is no escape except to Him." I asked: "Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said sternly: "Yes."
