Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38346 — Reports on weeping out of fear

Abdullah bin Buraydah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from his father that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man supplicating with this prayer: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka bi-annaka anta Allahu al-Ahadu al-Samadu alladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad' (O Allah, I ask You, for You are Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient, who does not beget and was not begotten, and to whom no one is equal). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have supplicated Allah Almighty by that Greatest Name of His: if He is supplicated by it He answers, and if He is asked by it He gives.
