It was narrated that Anas ibn Malik رضى الله عنه (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
“Umm Sulaim came to the Prophet ﷺ (may Allah send Blessings and Peace upon him) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me some words that I may supplicate with during my prayer.’ He said: ‘Glorify Allah (by saying SubhanAllah) ten times, and praise Him (by saying Alhamdulillah) ten times, and magnify Him (by saying Allahu Akbar) ten times, then ask Him for what you need; He will say: ‘Yes, yes.’” [Sunan an-Nasa’i (1299) and Jami’ at-Tirmidhi (481)]
You can recite the tasbeeh (SubhanAllah), tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) and takbeer (Allahu Akbar), each of them ten times, in sujood (prostration) or after the final tashahhud, and then ask anything that you need. Allah will respond: “Yes, yes” to your du‘a; that means He will definitely grant you the best outcome, according to His wisdom, for your du‘a. He knows what is best for us.
With full conviction, practise this Sunnah taught by our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ, especially during tahajjud. It will definitely change your life.
I pray that Allah guide us to adhere strictly to Al-Quran and As-Sunnah, to study them as much as possible, and to avoid all practices that have no basis in the teachings of our Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. I pray that He protect us from being influenced by the Ahlul-Bid’ah (the innovators) that are prevalent in our Ummah. I also pray that Allah increase us in beneficial knowledge, grant us enthusiasm in seeking it, and bestow upon us the true understanding of the pure teachings of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. Aameen.
