Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man supplicating during prayer: he had neither praised Allah Almighty nor sent blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him). So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This person has acted hastily. Then he called him and said: When any one of you performs prayer (or begins to supplicate), he should first praise and glorify Allah Almighty, then send blessings upon the Prophet (peace be upon him). After that, he may supplicate for whatever he wishes.
