Arabic hadith text

وَعَن بُرَيْدَةَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ فَقَالَ: «دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَأَبُو دَاوُد

Translation

Buraydah reported: The Messenger of God (peace be upon him) heard a man say, ‘O God, I ask You by virtue of the fact that You are God, there is no deity but You, the One, the Eternal Refuge, who neither begets nor is born, and to whom none is equal.’ He said, ‘He has supplicated to God by His Greatest Name, by which, when He is asked, He gives, and when He is called upon, He answers.’ Al-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud transmitted it. The Arabic source grades it sahih (al-Albani).
