Chapter 346
Remembrance 1 from Chapter 346
The prohibition of supplicating against oneself, one’s children, servants, wealth, etc.
Context
WE RELATE FROM the Sunan of Abū Dāwūd, with a ṣaḥīḥ isnād, that Jābir
reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: “Do not supplicate against yourselves, do not supplicate against your children, do not supplicate against your servants, and do not supplicate against your wealth. Do not [make your du‘ā’] coincide with a moment from Allah in which a gift is obtained and [your supplication] is accepted from you.” [1].
