Hadith 1684
۞
1. Abu Ali al-Ash’ari has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from al-Harith ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following
“I heard Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) saying, ‘You must bear in mind that whenever one of you likes to ask his Lord for help in worldly matters or of the next life, he must begin with praise of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, thank Him and ask His favors for the Holy Prophet and then ask for help.’”
1ـ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْجَبَّارِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَقُولُ إِيَّاكُمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ يَسْأَلَ مِنْ رَبِّهِ شَيْئاً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ حَتَّى يَبْدَأَ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَالْمَدْحِ لَهُ وَالصَّلاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) ثُمَّ يَسْأَلَ الله حَوَائِجَهُ.
