Sunan Abi Dawud 875 (Book 2, Hadith 485) #21166
Supplicating Often for Closeness to Allah

SUMMARY: Making supplication to Allah often is the best way to get close to Him.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah as saying: The nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ السَّرْحِ، وَمُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ، قَالُوا حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَمْرٌو، - يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْحَارِثِ - عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ غَزِيَّةَ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا صَالِحٍ، ذَكْوَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith, narrated by Abu Hurairah, teaches us that making supplication or invocation to Allah is the best way of getting close to Him. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that when a person is in prostration, they are closest to their Lord and so it is important for us as Muslims to make du’a often. Du’a can be made at any time and in any place; whether we are prostrating during prayer or not. It can be done silently or aloud and it does not have a specific format; we can ask for anything from our Lord as long as it does not go against His commands. We should also remember that even if our du’as are not answered immediately, they will still be accepted by Allah and He will answer them in His own time and in His own way.
