[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ used to start his supplication by mentioning himself.  

الطبراني:٤٠٨١حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْجَارُودِ مَسْعُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الرَّمْلِيُّ ثنا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ هَارُونَ الصُّوفِيُّ ثنا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ زُهْرَةَ بْنِ مَعْبَدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبُلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ «كَانَ إِذَا دَعَا بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ»

tirmidhi:3385Naṣr

whenever the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would mention someone and supplicate for him, he would begin with himself ﷺ.  

الترمذي:٣٣٨٥حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْكُوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو قَطَنٍ عَنْ حَمْزَةَ الزَّيَّاتِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أُبَىِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ أَحَدًا فَدَعَا لَهُ بَدَأَ بِنَفْسِهِ  

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ صَحِيحٌ وَأَبُو قَطَنٍ اسْمُهُ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ
