Sunan Abi Dawud 4885 (Book 43, Hadith 113) #25176
Seeking Mercy for the Prophet

SUMMARY: The hadith is about a desert Arab who prayed behind the Prophet and asked Allah to show mercy to him and the Prophet, without associating anyone else in it.

Narrated Jundub: A desert Arab came and making his camel kneel and tethering it, entered the mosque and prayed behind the Messenger of Allah . When The Messenger of Allah had given the salutation, he went to his riding beast and, after untethering and riding it, he called out: O Allah, show mercy to me and to Muhammad and associate no one else in Thy mercy to us. The Messenger of Allah then said: Do you think that he or his camel is farther astray? Did you not listen to what he said? They replied: Certainly.
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، مِنْ كِتَابِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْجُشَمِيِّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جُنْدُبٌ، قَالَ جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَأَنَاخَ رَاحِلَتَهُ ثُمَّ عَقَلَهَا ثُمَّ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَصَلَّى خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ أَتَى رَاحِلَتَهُ فَأَطْلَقَهَا ثُمَّ رَكِبَ ثُمَّ نَادَى اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي وَمُحَمَّدًا وَلاَ تُشْرِكْ فِي رَحْمَتِنَا أَحَدًا ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ أَتَقُولُونَ هُوَ أَضَلُّ أَمْ بَعِيرُهُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا إِلَى مَا قَالَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا بَلَى

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith narrates an incident of a desert Arab who came to pray in the mosque of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. After finishing his prayer he made a supplication asking Allah to show mercy only on him and on Muhammad ﷺ without associating anyone else with them. The Prophet ﷺ was pleased with this supplication and asked if they thought that either he or his camel was farther astray than this man. This shows us how much importance should be given to seeking mercy for our beloved prophet ﷺ as well as how we should make our supplications directly from Allah without involving any other being in it. We can also learn from this hadith that even small acts of worship are appreciated by Allah if done sincerely and with good intentions.
