Anas said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
used to come to us, the people of his house. One day he came to us and
made supplication for us. Umm Sulaym said, 'Won't you make supplication
for your little servant?' He said, 'O Allah, give him a lot of wealth and
children. Make him live long and forgive him.'
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ أَبِي حَبِيبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مَوْلَى أُمِّ قَيْسِ ابْنَةِ مِحْصَنٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ قَيْسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَهَا: مَا قَالَتْ: طَالَ عُمْرُهَا؟، وَلاَ نَعْلَمُ امْرَأَةً عُمِّرَتْ مَا عُمِّرَتْ.
Umm Qays reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, said to her, "What she said will make her life long. They said,
"We do not know of any woman who was given the long life that she was given."
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The supplication of any of you is answered
as long as he does not get impatient and say, 'I made supplication and
was not answered.'"
Tariq ibn Ashyam al-Ashja'i said, "We used to go and visit the
Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. On one occasion a man
and woman came and the man asked, 'Messenger of Allah, what should I say
when I pray?' He replied, 'Say, "O Allah, forgive me, show mercy to me,
guide me and provide for me.; They will combine this world and the Next
world for you.'"
