The Book of Du'a (Supplications)
Some Verdicts Pertaining to Supplications
وَعَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: "مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلاَّ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا، أَوْ صَرَفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا. مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ، أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ" فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: إِذًا نُكْثِرَ قَالَ: "اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ". رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَن صَحِيح.
'Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whenever a Muslim supplicates Allah, He accepts his supplication or averts any similar kind of trouble from him until he prays for something sinful or something that may break the ties of kinship." Upon this someone of the Companions said: "Then we shall supplicate plenty." The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Allah is more plentiful (in responding)." [At- Tirmidhi].
