Hadith 22965

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بنُ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بنِ مِغْوَلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ برَيْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبيهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ : اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بأَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ، الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ ، الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ، فَقَالَ : " قَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ باسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بهِ أَعْطَى ، وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بهِ أَجَاب " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he went out at night and met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took his hand and entered the mosque. Suddenly, the voice of a man reciting the Qur'an was heard. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you think he is a show-off?" Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. That man was supplicating: "O Allah! I ask You because I bear witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, You are One, Self-Sufficient, He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name; when He is asked by it, He surely gives, and when supplicated by it, He surely answers."
