tirmidhi:3479ʿAbdullāh b. Muʿāwiyah al-Jumaḥī > Ṣāliḥ al-Murrī > Hishām b. Ḥassān > Muḥammad b. Sīrīn > Abū Hurayrah

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Call upon Allah while you are certain of being answered, and know that Allah does not answer a supplication from a heedless, distracted heart."

Abu Isa said: This is a gharib hadith; we do not know it except through this route. I heard Abbas al-Anbari saying: Write from Abdullah ibn Muawiyah al-Jumahi, for he is trustworthy.

الترمذي:٣٤٧٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ وَهُوَ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ حَدَّثَنَا صَالِحٌ الْمُرِّيُّ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ سَمِعْتُ عَبَّاسًا الْعَنْبَرِيَّ يَقُولُ اكْتُبُوا عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ الْجُمَحِيِّ فَإِنَّهُ ثِقَةٌ
