This is one of the most beneficial medicines.
Ibn Maajah reported in his Sunan, on the authority of Abu Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ‘anhu) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: ‘He who does not ask Allaah, earns His Anger.’”(3)
Al-Hakim reported in his Sahih book, on the authority of Anas (radiyallaahu ta’aala anhu) that the Prophet (salallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: “Do not under-estimate supplication, for no one perishes with it.”
Al-Awza’i reported from az-Zuhari, from ‘Urwah, from ‘Aishaah (radiyallaahu ‘anha) who said: “The Messenger of Allaah (salallaahu ‘alayhi wasallam) said: ‘Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) loves those who persist in supplicating to Him.”
In the book, Zuhd, by Imaam Ahmad, on the authority of Abu Qatadah who said: “Muwariq said: ‘I could not find a better example of a believer but that of a man clinging to a piece of wood at sea, praying: ‘O Lord…O Lord…’ asking Allaah (subhaanahu wa ta’aala) to save him.”

SUPPLICATION IS A CURE
ReplyDelete[Takhreej by Shaykh Alee Hasan with some summary]
Supplication is from the most beneficial types of healing, it is the enemy of illness and affliction - repressing it and treating it, preventing its occurrence, removing it or at least alleviating it. It is the weapon of the believer as is reported by al-Haakim in his ‘Mustadrak’ from the hadeeth of Alee bin Abee Taalib (RA) from the Messenger of Allaah (SAW) that he said, "supplication is the weapon of the believer, the pillar of the religion, and the light of the heaven and earth."
