Chapters on Supplication
كتاب الدعوات عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم
Chapter 146: About Seeking Refuge
“Seek refuge with Allah from the punishment of Hell, and seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the grave. Seek refuge in Allah from the trial of Al-Masihid-Dajjal, and seek refuge in Allah from the trials of life and death.”
Chapter 147: The Supplication: "I Seek Refuge in Allah's Perfect Words from the Evil Of What He Created"
“Whoever says three times when he reaches the evening: ‘I seek refuge in Allah’s Perfect Words from the evil of what he created, (A`ūdhu bikalimātillāhit-tāmmāti min sharri mā khalaq)’ no poisonous sting shall harm him that night.” (One of the narrators) Suhail said: “So our family used to learn it and they used to say it every night. A girl among them was stung, and she did not feel any pain.”
Chapter 149: There is not a man who calls upon Allah with a supplication except that it is answered
“There is not a worshipper who raises his hands, such that his armpit becomes visible, asking Allah for something, except that He shall grant it to him - as long as he does not become hasty.” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, and how is haste made concerning it?” He (ﷺ) said: “He says: ‘I did ask and ask, and I was not given a thing.’”
Chapter 152: The Supplication: "O Allah give me pleasure in my hearing and my sight"
“O Allah, give me pleasure in my hearing and my sight, and make it the inheritor from me, and aid me against whoever oppresses me, and take vengeance from him for me (Allāhumma matti`nī bisam`ī wa baṣarī waj`alhumal-wāritha minnī, wanṣurnī `alā man yaẓlimunī, wa khudh minhu bitha’rī)”
Chapter 153: "Let one of you ask his Lord for his every need"
‘Let one of you ask his Lord for his every need, even until he asks Him for the strap of his sandal when it breaks.’”
