اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ، إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ
Ism-e-Azam dua English Transliteration
Allaahumma inni as'aluka bi-anna lakal-hamda, laa ilaaha illaa antal-mannaanu badi'us-samaawaati wal-ardi, yaa dhal-jalaali wal-ikraam! Yaa ‘hayyu yaa qayyum inni as aluk
Names of Allah dua English Translation
O Allah, indeed I ask You since all praise is due to You, there is none worthy of worship but You, the Bestower, the Creator of the heavens and earth, O Possessor of majesty and honor, O Ever-living, O-Eternal. I am asking to you.
I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man was praying. When he bowed, prostrated and recited the tashahhud, he supplicated, and in his supplication he said: (the above mentioned dua). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Do you know what he has supplicated with?' They said, "Allah (SWT) and His Messenger know best." He said, 'By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he called upon Allah by His greatest Name, which, if He is called by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives.'
Hadith about the Dua
Arabic Text
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم جَالِسًا وَرَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي، ثُمَّ دَعَا: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، الْمَنَّانُ، بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، يَا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ. فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: "لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ، الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ، وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى".
Anas bin Malik narrated that he was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) and a man was praying, then he supplicated: "O Allah, indeed I ask You since all praise is due to You, there is none worthy of worship but You, the Bestower, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of majesty and honor, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer." The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He has supplicated to Allah using His Greatest Name, which, if He is called upon by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives."
