Dua with Allah’s Greatest Name 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.
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik (RA) said: "I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man was standing and praying. When he bowed, prostrated and recited the tashahhud, he supplicated, and in his supplication he said: (The dua is mentioned above) Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Do you know what he has supplicated with?' They said: "Allah (SWT) and His Messenger know best. He (ﷺ) 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 ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ جَالِسًا وَرَجُلٌ يُصَلِّي، ثُمَّ دَعَا فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، الْمَنَّانُ، بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، يَا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ " . فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ، وَإِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى " .
Anas bin Malik narrated that he was sitting with the Prophet (ﷺ) while a man was praying. The man then supplicated, saying: "O Allah, indeed I ask You since all praise is due to You. None has the right to be worshipped except You, the Most Generous, Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of majesty and honor, O Ever-Living, O Sustainer." So the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "He has supplicated to Allah by His Greatest Name, which, if He is called upon by it, He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives."
