Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was sitting in a gathering with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). A man was performing prayer. When he went into bowing (ruku‘), he prostrated and recited the tashahhud, then while supplicating he said:“O Allah! I ask You, indeed all praise is due to You, there is no deity except You, You are the Most Compassionate and the Bestower of favors, the Creator of the heavens and the earth, Possessor of Majesty and Honor, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all. O Allah! I ask You.”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) then said: Do you know what this person has supplicated with? The people said: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he has supplicated to Allah by His Greatest Name; when He is called upon by it, He answers, and when asked by it, He gives. (Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator named Hafs is Hafs bin Abdullah bin Abu Talhah, who is the brother of Ishaq, and is the son of the maternal half-brother of Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him).
