Abdur Rahman bin Abi Aqeel narrates that we came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) as a delegation. One of us said, "O Messenger of Allah! Did you not ask your Lord for a kingdom like that of Solomon (peace be upon him)?" He smiled and said, "Perhaps your companion is greater with Allah than the kingdom of Solomon (peace be upon him). Indeed, Allah has not sent any prophet except that He granted him a supplication. Some chose the world, so Allah granted it to them, and some used it as a curse against their people when they disobeyed, so they were destroyed. And Allah granted me a supplication, so I have stored it with my Lord for the intercession of my Ummah."
