Why Abu Ad-Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] Used to Ask For These Three Things In His Supplication: [By Shaikh Abdur Razzaaq Al-Badr (hafidhahullaah)]

Written by The Salafi Centre of Manchester on March 20, 2019

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Ibn Abee Shaybah [rahimahullaah] reported in Kitaab Al-Imaan and also in Al-Musannaf that Abu Dardaa [radiyallaahu-anhu] always use to supplicate, saying:

[اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي  أَسْأَلُكَ إيمَانًا دَائِمًا وَعِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَهَدْيًا قَيِّمًا – O Allaah! I ask you for abiding Imaan, beneficial knowledge and upright guidance].

Mu-aawiyyah Ibn Qurra [rahimahullaah] transmitted this narration from Abu Dardaa and then said: “That is because there is Imaan that is not abiding, knowledge that is not beneficial and guidance that is not upright”.
