the Messenger of Allah said: “There is none who utters a supplication, except that Allah gives him what he asked, or prevents evil from him that is equal to it – as long as he does not supplicate for something evil, or the cutting of ties of the womb.”

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ إِلاَّ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهُ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَعُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “There is not a Muslim upon the earth who makes a dua 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 duas]?” He ﷺ said: “[With] Allah is more.”

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».

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "No one invokes a supplication except that Allah gives him what he asked for or protects him from an equivalent evil, as long as he does not invoke for sin or cutting ties of kinship."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا أَحَدٌ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءٍ إِلَّا آتَاهُ اللهُ مَا سَأَلَ أَوْ كَفَّ عَنْهُ مِنَ السُّوءِ مِثْلَهُ مَا لَمْ يَدْعُ بِإِثْمٍ أَوْ بِقَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ
