A Prayer Like This…

A guest came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). He sent a message to all his blessed wives for food, but none of them had anything to offer. Upon this, he made this prayer:

اللھم انی اسلک من فضلک و رحمتک، انہ لا یملکھما الا انت۔

"O Allah! I ask You for Your grace and Your mercy, for none holds these except You."

No sooner had he made the prayer than a roasted goat was sent to him as a gift. The Prophet (ﷺ) remarked, "This is Allah's grace, and we are still waiting for the mercy."

(Al-Mu'jam al-Kabir by al-Tabarani: 10/178, and its chain is authentic)
