Sunan Ibn Majah 3221 (Book 28, Hadith 22) #32575
Supplicating Against Locusts

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) supplicating against locusts and teaching us to ask Allah for help in times of need.

It was narrated from Jabir and Anas bin Malik that whenever the Messenger of Allah supplicated against the locusts, he said: "O Allah, destroy their large ones and kill their small ones, spoil their eggs and root them out. Take their mouths away from our livelihood and provision, for You are the One Who hears the prayers". A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, are you praying against one of the troops of Allah, that they may be rooted out?" He said: "Locusts were sneezed out by the fish in the sea".
حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحَمَّالُ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا زِيَادُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُلاَثَةَ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَأَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ كَانَ إِذَا دَعَا عَلَى الْجَرَادِ قَالَ ‏"‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَهْلِكْ كِبَارَهُ وَاقْتُلْ صِغَارَهُ وَأَفْسِدْ بَيْضَهُ وَاقْطَعْ دَابِرَهُ وَخُذْ بِأَفْوَاهِهَا عَنْ مَعَايِشِنَا وَأَرْزَاقِنَا إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَدْعُو عَلَى جُنْدٍ مِنْ أَجْنَادِ اللَّهِ بِقَطْعِ دَابِرِهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ الْجَرَادَ نَثْرَةُ الْحُوتِ فِي الْبَحْرِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ هَاشِمٌ قَالَ زِيَادٌ فَحَدَّثَنِي مَنْ رَأَى الْحُوتَ يَنْثُرُهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's supplication against locusts. He taught us that when we are faced with a problem, we should turn to Allah for help. He said, "O Allah, destroy their large ones and kill their small ones, spoil their eggs and root them out. Take their mouths away from our livelihood and provision, for You are the One Who hears the prayers." A man asked if he was praying against one of Allah's troops but he explained that locusts were sneezed out by fish in the sea. This teaches us that even though it may seem like something bad has been sent by God, it can actually be caused by other things too. It also teaches us to always turn to God in times of need as He is always listening to our prayers.
