What is reported about supplication
Hadith 494
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ دَعْوَةٌ يَدْعُو بِهَا ، فَأُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْتَبِئَ دَعْوَتِي شَفَاعَةً لِأُمَّتِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For every prophet there is a supplication that is certainly accepted, and I wish to reserve my supplication for the intercession of my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection."
Hadith 495
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، أَنَّهُ بَلَغَهُ ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، كَانَ يَدْعُو فَيَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ فَالِقَ الْإِصْبَاحِ ، وَجَاعِلَ اللَّيْلِ سَكَنًا وَالشَّمْسِ وَالْقَمَرِ حُسْبَانًا ، اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ ، وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ ، وَأَمْتِعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي وَقُوَّتِي فِي سَبِيلِكَ "
Yahya ibn Sa'id was informed that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to supplicate, and he would say: "O Allah! Creator of the morning! Maker of the night as a time of rest! And the One Who causes the sun and the moon to move according to calculation! Pay off my debt for me, and enrich me from poverty, and grant me benefit from my hearing and my sight, and from my strength in Your path."
Hadith 496
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ الْأَعْرَجِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ إِذَا دَعَا : اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنْ شِئْتَ ، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي إِنْ شِئْتَ ، لِيَعْزِمْ الْمَسْأَلَةَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مُكْرِهَ لَهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "When any of you makes supplication, he should not say: O Allah, forgive me if You will, and have mercy on us if You will; rather, he should say: Forgive me, for there is none who can compel Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He."
Hadith 497
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ أَزْهَرَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " يُسْتَجَابُ لِأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ فَيَقُولُ : قَدْ دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The supplication is accepted as long as the supplicant does not hasten, and says: 'I made supplication but it was not accepted.'"
Hadith 498
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَغَرِّ ، وَعَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الْآخِرُ فَيَقُولُ : " مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ ، مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ ، مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our Lord descends every night to the lowest heaven when the last third of the night remains, and He says: 'Who is there who supplicates to Me so that I may accept his supplication? Who is there who asks of Me so that I may give to him? Who is there who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?'"
Hadith 499
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ التَّيْمِيِّ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ نَائِمَةً إِلَى جَنْبِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَفَقَدْتُهُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَلَمَسْتُهُ بِيَدِي فَوَضَعْتُ يَدِي عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ ، يَقُولُ : " أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ ، وَبِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ ، وَبِكَ مِنْكَ لَا أُحْصِي ثَنَاءً عَلَيْكَ ، أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ "
It is narrated from Muhammad bin Ibrahim that Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I was sleeping beside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and I did not find him, so I touched him and my hand reached his feet, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was in prostration, saying: "I seek refuge in Your pleasure from Your anger, and in Your pardon from Your punishment, and I cannot praise You as You have praised Yourself."
Hadith 500
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " أَفْضَلُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَأَفْضَلُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Talhah bin Ubaidullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The best of supplications is the supplication on the Day of Arafah, and the best of what I and the prophets before me have said is: «لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ»."
Hadith 501
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يُعَلِّمُهُمْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ ، كَمَا يُعَلِّمُهُمُ السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ، يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ جَهَنَّمَ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَسِيحِ الدَّجَّالِ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْمَحْيَا وَالْمَمَاتِ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to teach them this supplication just as he used to teach them a surah of the Qur'an. He would say: "O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the punishment of Hell, and I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave, and I seek refuge in You from the trial of the Dajjal, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of life and death."
Hadith 502
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ الْمَكِّيِّ ، عَنْ طَاوُسٍ الْيَمَانِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا قَامَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ مِنْ جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ ، يَقُولُ : " اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، أَنْتَ نُورُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ قَيَّامُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَنْتَ رَبُّ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ ، أَنْتَ الْحَقُّ ، وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ ، وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ ، وَلِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ ، وَالْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ ، وَالنَّارُ حَقٌّ ، وَالسَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ ، اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ ، فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَأَخَّرْتُ وَأَسْرَرْتُ وَأَعْلَنْتُ ، أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer in the middle of the night, he would say: “O Allah! All praise is for You, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth, and all praise is for You, and You are the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth, and all praise is for You, and You are the Lord of the heavens and the earth and whatever is between them. You are the Truth, Your word is true, Your promise is true, meeting You is true, Paradise and Hell are true, the Hour is true. O Lord! I am obedient to Your command, and I have believed in You, and I have relied upon You, and I have turned towards You, and with Your help I have fought against the disbelievers, and I have made You the judge when there was a dispute. So forgive my past and future sins, my hidden and open sins. You are my God, there is no true god except You.”
Hadith 503
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ . أَنَّهُ قَالَ : جَاءَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ فِي بَنِي مُعَاوِيَةَ وَهِيَ قَرْيَةٌ مِنْ قُرَى الْأَنْصَارِ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرُونَ أَيْنَ صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَسْجِدِكُمْ هَذَا ؟ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : نَعَمْ ، وَأَشَرْتُ لَهُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنْهُ ، فَقَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا الثَّلَاثُ الَّتِي دَعَا بِهِنَّ فِيهِ ؟ فَقُلْتُ : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَخْبِرْنِي بِهِنَّ ، فَقُلْتُ : " دَعَا بِأَنْ لَا يُظْهِرَ عَلَيْهِمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ وَلَا يُهْلِكَهُمْ بِالسِّنِينَ ، فَأُعْطِيَهُمَا وَدَعَا بِأَنْ لَا يَجْعَلَ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ فَمُنِعَهَا " ، قَالَ : صَدَقْتَ ، قَالَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ : " فَلَنْ يَزَالَ الْهَرْجُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ "
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abdullah that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) came to us at Bani Muawiyah, and it is a village among the villages of the Ansar. He asked me: Do you know the place where the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed in this mosque of yours? I said: Yes, I know, and I pointed out a corner. Then he asked me: Do you know which are the three supplications that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made? I said: Yes. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Tell me. I said: He (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated that no enemy from other nations, that is, from the disbelievers, be imposed upon the Muslims, and that they not be destroyed by famine. So these two supplications were accepted. The third supplication was that there be no bloodshed and fighting among the Muslims themselves, but this supplication was not accepted. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: You have spoken the truth. Then he said: Now, till the Day of Judgment, discord will continue among them.
Hadith 504
وَحَدَّثَنِي ، عَنْ مَالِك ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ دَاعٍ يَدْعُو إِلَّا كَانَ بَيْنَ إِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ إِمَّا أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَهُ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ ، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Aslam (may Allah be pleased with him), he used to say: When a person makes supplication, his supplication is not devoid of three states: either it is accepted, or it is deferred until the Day of Resurrection, or it becomes an expiation for sins.
