Hadith 3381
اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ ، أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهُ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ " . وَفِي الْبَابِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، وَعُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ .
´Jabir narrated that :` the Messenger of Allah said: “There is none who utters a supplication, except that Allah gives him what he asked, or prevents evil from him that is equal to it – as long as he does not supplicate for something evil, or the cutting of ties of the womb.”
Brief Explanation
1؎ : It is understood from this that there is benefit in supplication (du'a). If, according to Allah's will, it is accepted, then the thing that was asked for is given to the supplicant. And if, when the will (mashiyyah) does not decree acceptance, then some calamity of equal measure that was to befall him in the future is averted from him. Or, in the Hereafter, the Lord of the worlds (Rabb al-‘Alamin) will grant the supplicant a reward equivalent to the supplication. However, if the supplication is for a sin or against maintaining family ties (silat al-rahm), then it is neither accepted nor is there any reward for it. Similarly, for the acceptance of supplication, it is also a condition that the supplication be appropriate to the person's circumstances, and not beyond his natural status—such as if a poor Indian were to supplicate, "O Allah, make me the president of America."

Explanation:
1:
It is understood from this that there is benefit in supplication (du'a). If, according to Allah’s will, it is accepted, then the thing that was asked for is given to the supplicant. And if, when the will (mashiyyah) is not for acceptance, then some calamity that was to befall in the future is averted from him in its place. Or, in the Hereafter, the Lord of the worlds will grant the supplicant a reward equivalent to that supplication. However, if the supplication is for a sin or against maintaining family ties (silat ar-rahm), then it is neither accepted nor is there any reward for it. Similarly, for the acceptance of supplication, it is also a condition that the supplication be appropriate to the person’s situation, and not beyond his natural state—such as a poor Indian praying, “O Allah, make me the president of America.”
Note:
(In the chain of narration, Ibn Luhay‘ah is weak, and Abu’z-Zubayr is a mudallis, but on the basis of corroborating evidences, this hadith is hasan.)
