حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ ذَرٍّ، عَنْ يُسَيْعَ، عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: إِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: {ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ}.
An-Nu'man ibn Bashir reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "Supplication is worship.' Then he recited,
'Call on Me and I will answer you.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, said, "No believer turns his face to Allah and asks Him
for something but that He gives it to him, either by giving it to him sooner
in this world or storing it up for him in the Next World, as long as he
does not try to make it come quickly." They asked, "Messenger of Allah,
what does 'making it come quickly' mean?" He said, "He says, 'I asked and
asked and do not think that I will be answered.'"
