Qurʾān Bukhārī Muslim Nasāʾī Abū Dāwūd Tirmidhī Ibn Mājah Mālik Aḥmad Dārimī Ḥākim Ibn Ḥibbān Ṭabarānī Nasāʾī's Kubrá Bayhaqī al-Adab al-Mufrad al-Luʾluʾ wa-al-Marjān Ibn Rajab's Fifty Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn Aḥmad's Zuhd Suyūṭī Misc
adab:710 – Abu 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:٧١٠ – حَدَّثَنَا 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

tirmidhi:3573 – ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman al-Dārimī > Muḥammad b. Yūsuf > Ibn Thawbān from his father > Makḥūl > Jubayr b. Nufayr > ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There is not a Muslim upon the earth who makes a duʿā’ to Allah with any supplication, except that Allah either (1) grants it to him, or (2) He turns away from him the like of it in evil; as long as he does not supplicate for something sinful, or the severing of the ties of kinship.”

So a man from the people said: “What if we increase [our duʿā’s]?” He ﷺ said: “[With] Allah is more.”  

الترمذي:٣٥٧٣ – حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ عَنِ ابْنِ ثَوْبَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ أَنَّ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ حَدَّثَهُمْ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا عَلَى الأَرْضِ مُسْلِمٌ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِدَعْوَةٍ إِلاَّ (١) آتَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهَا أَوْ (٢) صَرَفَ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهَا؛ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِمَأْثَمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ»

فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ: إِذًا نُكْثِرَ؟ قَالَ: «اللَّهُ أَكْثَرُ»  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ وَابْنُ ثَوْبَانَ هُوَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ ثَابِتِ بْنِ ثَوْبَانَ الْعَابِدُ الشَّامِيُّ
