Jami at-Tirmidhi 3683 (Book 49, Hadith 79) #29341
Praying for the Honor of Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ prayed to Allah to honor Islam through either Abu Jahl bin Hisham or 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, and the next day 'Umar accepted Islam.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: that the Prophet said: "O Allah honor Islam through Abu Jahl bin Hisham or through 'Umar bin Al-Khattab". He said: "So it happened that 'Umar came the next day to the Messenger of Allah and accepted Islam".
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ أَبِي عُمَرَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِزَّ الإِسْلاَمَ بِأَبِي جَهْلِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ أَوْ بِعُمَرَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ فَأَصْبَحَ فَغَدَا عُمَرُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ فَأَسْلَمَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ ‏.‏ وَقَدْ تَكَلَّمَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي النَّضْرِ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَهُوَ يَرْوِي مَنَاكِيرَ مِنْ قِبَلِ حِفْظِهِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of prayer and how it can bring about great change. The Prophet Muhammad prayed to Allah that He would honor Islam through either Abu Jahl bin Hisham or 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, two people who were not yet believers in the religion. Miraculously, the next day Umar accepted Islam and became a believer in the faith. This hadith teaches us that prayer is powerful and can bring about great change even when it seems impossible. It also shows us that no matter how far away someone may seem from accepting faith, with enough patience and prayer they may eventually come around.
