Hazrat Abdullah al-Rumi narrates that we were with Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). Then a man said to him: O Abu Hamzah! Indeed, your brothers wish that you pray for them. So he supplicated as follows: O Allah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, grant us goodness in this world, grant us goodness in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of Hell. The people said: O Abu Hamzah! Pray more for us. So he repeated the same supplication. The people said: O Abu Hamzah! Pray more for us. So he said: O so-and-so, Allah is sufficient for us. If we are granted all this, then we have been given the goodness of this world and the Hereafter.
