'A'isha say that she saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, making supplication with his hands raised, saying, 'I am a man,
so do not punish me. If I harm any man of the believers or revile him,
do not punish me for that.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَدِمَ الطُّفَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو الدَّوْسِيُّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنَّ دَوْسًا قَدْ عَصَتْ وَأَبَتْ، فَادْعُ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقِبْلَةَ وَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ، فَظَنَّ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ يَدْعُو عَلَيْهِمْ، فَقَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِ دَوْسًا، وَائْتِ بِهِمْ.
Abu Hurayra said, "At-Tufayl ibn 'Amr ad-Dawsi came to the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger
of Allah, Daws have rebelled and rejected, so ask Allah to curse them.'
The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, faced
the qibla and raised his hands and the people thought that he was going
to curse them. He said, 'O Allah, guide Daws and lead them.'"
Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "When one of you makes a supplication, he should
be firm in the supplication and not say, 'O Allah, if you like, give to
me.' Allah cannot be forced against His will."
