Sunan Ibn Majah 3857 (Book 34, Hadith 31) #33211
The Power of Allah's Greatest Name

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of Allah's Greatest Name and how it can be used to ask for help and receive answers.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Buraidah that his father said: "The Prophet (SAAS) heard a man say: 'Allahumma! Inni as'aluka bi-annaka Antallahul-Ahadus-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwlud, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad (O Allah! I ask You by virtue of Your being Allah, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable to Him)'. The Messenger of Allah (SAAS) said: 'He has asked Allah by His Greatest Name, which if He is asked thereby He gives, and if He is called upon thereby He answers'."
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ ـ ـ رَجُلاً يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ ـ ‏ "‏ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of supplication to God through His Most Great Name. It was narrated by 'Abdullah bin Buraidah from his father that the Prophet Muhammad heard a man praying to God using His Most Great Name, which is "Allahumma! Inni as'aluka bi-annaka Antallahul-Ahadus-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwlud, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad". The Prophet Muhammad said that this man has asked Allah by His Greatest Name which if He is asked thereby He gives and if He is called upon thereby He answers. This hadith teaches us that when we call upon God with sincerity and faith in Him, then our prayers will be answered. We should also remember that no one else can answer our prayers except for God Himself. Therefore, we should always turn to Him in times of need and supplicate with faith in Him alone.
