٣١۔ كتاب الدعاء

31.24 The reward and wage stored up for a person who supplicates

٣١۔٢٤ بَابُ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لِلدَّاعِي مِنَ الأجْرِ وَالثَّوَابِ

adab:710Abu Sa'id al-Khudri reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No Muslim makes supplication - unless he is someone who has cut off his relatives - but that he is given one of three things:

either his supplication is answered quickly, or it is stored up for him in the Next World, or an evil equal to it is averted from him." It was said, "Then many supplications will be made." He replied, "Allah has more still to give."  

الأدب المفرد:٧١٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ أُسَامَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمُتَوَكِّلِ النَّاجِيَّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيُّ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَدْعُو لَيْسَ بِإِثْمٍ وَلاَ بِقَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ إِمَّا أَنْ يُعَجِّلَ لَهُ دَعْوَتَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَدَّخِرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَدْفَعَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا قَالَ إِذًا نُكْثِرُ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ  

adab:711

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No believer turns his face to Allah and asks Him for something but that He gives it to him, either by giving it to him sooner in this world or storing it up for him in the Next World, as long as he does not try to make it come quickly." They asked, "Messenger of Allah, what does 'making it come quickly' mean?" He said, "He says, 'I asked and asked and do not think that I will be answered.'"  

الأدب المفرد:٧١١حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ شَيْبَةَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي الْفُدَيْكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَوْهَبٍ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ يَنْصُبُ وَجْهَهُ إِلَى اللهِ يَسْأَلُهُ مَسْأَلَةً إِلاَّ أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهَا إِمَّا عَجَّلَهَا لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِمَّا ذَخَرَهَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا عَجَلَتُهُ؟ قَالَ يَقُولُ دَعَوْتُ وَدَعَوْتُ وَلاَ أُرَاهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لِي
