Narrated Fadalah bin 'Ubaid (RA): Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) heard a man supplicating during his prayer. He did not praise Allah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). He ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said, "He made haste." He then called him and said, "When any of you prays, he should begin with the glorification of his Rabb (Lord) and praise Him; he should then invoke blessings on the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ); thereafter he should supplicate Allah for anything he wishes." [Ahmad and ath-Thalathah reported it; a-Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban and al-Hakim graded it Sahih (authentic)] .
