Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiTHE MANNER OF DU’A (SUPPLICATION)
Hadrat Ibn Abbas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAAH said, When you make request of ALLAAH, do so with the palms of your hands not the backs upward, and when you have finished, wipe your faces with them. [Mishkat]
Hadrat Ubayy bin Kab (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated to have said that when ALLAAH’s Messenger mentioned any one for whom he made supplication, he began with him self. [Mishkat]
Hadrat Fudala bin ‘Ubaid (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that while ALLAAH’s Messenger was sitting, a man entered and prayed, saying, “O ALLAAH, forgive me and show mercy to me.” ALLAAH’s Messenger said you who are praying are in a hurry. When you sit, you should worthily extol ALLAAH’s praises, invoke a blessing on me,and then make your supplication.” [Mishkat]
