Hadith 250

The Book of Du'a (Supplications)

ENGLISH

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "One of Prophet (ﷺ) Dawud's supplications was: 'Allahumma inni as'aluka hubbaka, wa hubba man yuhibbuka, wal-'amalalladhi yuballighuni hubbaka. Allahumm-aj'al hubbaka ahabba ilayya min nafsi, wa ahli, wa minal-ma'il-baridi (O Allah! I ask You for Your Love, the love of those who love You, and deeds which will cause me to attain Your Love. O Allah! Make Your Love dearer to me than myself, my family and the cold water)."' <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.

ARABIC
