اللَّهُ عَلَيه وَسَلَّم لِيَسْأَلْ أَحَدُكُمْ رَبَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ أَوْ حَوَائِجَهُ كُلَّهَا حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ شِسْعَهُ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ وَحَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ الْمِلْحَوَهَذَا الْحَدِيثُ لَا نَعْلَمُ رَوَاهُ عَنْ ثابتٍ عَن أَنَس إلاَّ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سليمان

Collected by Tirmidhī

Make dua to Allah for everything, even for salt or if your shoelace breaks

tirmidhi:3604j – Ṣāliḥ b. ʿAbdullāh > Jaʿfar b. Sulaymān > Thābit al-Bunānī

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Each one of you must ask his Lord for his need, even for some salt and even for his shoestring (or sandal strap) if it breaks.”

And this is more authentic than the hadith of Qatan from Jafar b. Sulayman.

الترمذي:٣٦٠٤j – حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ: «لِيَسْأَلْ أَحَدُكُمْ رَبَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ حَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ الْمِلْحَ وَحَتَّى يَسْأَلَهُ شِسْعَ نَعْلِهِ إِذَا انْقَطَعَ۔»

وَهَذَا أَصَحُّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ قَطَنٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ
