I saw him in a state of prostration and only saying these words : ya ‘hayyu ya qayyum (O Ever Living One, O Eternal One) and didn’t increase over that. Then again I went to the war. After some time I returned to him. Again I saw him in a state of prostration and only saying those same words.Then again I went to the war. After some time I returned to him and saw him in a state of prostration and only saying those same words. Then Allah granted him (ﷺ) victory. We can see in this hadith how to make dua by dhikr.
