Sahih al-Bukhari 6950 (Book 89, Hadith 11) #6680
The Power of Prayer in Difficult Situations

SUMMARY: This hadith tells the story of Prophet Abraham and his wife Sarah, who were asked to send Sarah to a tyrant king. When she was sent, she prayed for Allah's protection and the king had an epileptic fit.

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "(The Prophet) Abraham migrated with his wife Sarah till he reached a town where there was a king or a tyrant who sent a message, to Abraham, ordering him to send Sarah to him. So when Abraham had sent Sarah, the tyrant got up, intending to do evil with her, but she got up and performed ablution and prayed and said, 'O Allah ! If I have believed in You and in Your Apostle, then do not empower this oppressor over me'. So he (the king) had an epileptic fit and started moving his legs violently".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ‏ "‏ هَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بِسَارَةَ، دَخَلَ بِهَا قَرْيَةً فِيهَا مَلِكٌ مِنَ الْمُلُوكِ أَوْ جَبَّارٌ مِنَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ أَرْسِلْ إِلَىَّ بِهَا‏.‏ فَأَرْسَلَ بِهَا، فَقَامَ إِلَيْهَا فَقَامَتْ تَوَضَّأُ وَتُصَلِّي فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَبِرَسُولِكَ فَلاَ تُسَلِّطْ عَلَىَّ الْكَافِرَ، فَغُطَّ حَتَّى رَكَضَ بِرِجْلِهِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Pray during difficult times

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells the story of Prophet Abraham and his wife Sarah, who were asked to send Sarah to a tyrant king. When she was sent, instead of being scared or worried about her situation, she chose to pray for Allah's protection. Her prayer was answered when the king suddenly had an epileptic fit which prevented him from doing any harm towards her. This teaches us that no matter how difficult our situation may be, we should always turn towards Allah in prayer as He is always there for us and will protect us if we put our trust in Him.

This also shows us that even though it may seem like we are powerless against those with authority over us or those who are more powerful than us, if we have faith in Allah then He will protect us from any harm that comes our way. We should never give up hope even when faced with difficult situations because with faith and prayer anything is possible!
