Sunan an-Nasai 1300 (Book 13, Hadith 122) #15908
The Power of Supplication

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of supplication and how Allah (SWT) responds to those who call upon Him with His greatest Name.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah and a man was standing and praying. When he bowed, prostrated and recited the tashahhud, he supplicated, and in his supplication he said: "Allahumma inni as'aluka bi-anna lakal-hamd, lailaha illa ant, al-mannanu badi'us-samawati wal-ard, ya dhal-jalali wal-ikram! Ya hayyu ya qayyum! Inni as'aluka. (O Allah, indeed I ask You since all praise is due to You, there is none worthy of worship but You, the Bestower, the Creator of the heavens and earth, O Possessor of majesty and honor, O Ever-living, O-Eternal, I ask of You)' The Prophet said: 'Do you know what he has supplicated with?' They said: "Allah (SWT) and His Messenger know best". He said: 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he called upon Allah by His greatest Name, which, if He is called by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives'."
أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَفُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ، عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ أَخِي، أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ جَالِسًا - يَعْنِي - وَرَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ يُصَلِّي فَلَمَّا رَكَعَ وَسَجَدَ وَتَشَهَّدَ دَعَا فَقَالَ فِي دُعَائِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ لأَصْحَابِهِ ‏"‏ تَدْرُونَ بِمَا دَعَا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of supplication and how Allah will respond when we call upon Him with His greatest name. It was narrated by Anas bin Malik that he was sitting with the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ and a man was standing and praying. When he bowed, prostrated, and recited the tashahhud, he supplicated using a special phrase which included calling upon Allah by His greatest name. The Prophet ﷺ asked if anyone knew what this phrase meant, to which they replied that only Allah knows best. He then said that this man called upon Allah by His greatest name which if He is called by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives. This hadith teaches us that when we make du’a or prayer to Allah SWT using His greatest name then our prayers will be answered as long as we have faith in Him.
