Amazing Du'aa of the beloved Prophet صل الله عليه و سلم

Amazing Du'aa of the beloved Prophet صل الله عليه و سلم 

Imam Tabrani RA narrates in his mujam kabir:

Abdullah Ibn Masood narrates that the messenger of Allah S.A.W. hosted a guest and so he sent someone to ask in all of his houses if there was any food to feed the guest but he came back to say there wasn't any. upon receiving this news the Prophet sallallaaho alaihe wasallam said:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَمْلِكُهَا إِلا أَنْتَ

allaahumma innee asaloka min fadlika wa rahmatik, fa innahoo laa yamlikohaa allaa anta



 

O Allah! I ask you from your grace and mercy, for no one but only You posses them.

 

So it wasn't long (after making this du'aa) that he was gifted a whole roasted goat, he said:

"this is the grace of Allah and we are waiting for  (receiving) His mercy."

 

والحديث بوب عليه الإمام ابن أبي شيبة رحمه الله في مصنفه فقال :
الرَّجُلُ يُصِيبُهُ الْجُوعُ أَوْ يَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ .

 

Ibn Abi Shaybah, may Allah have mercy on him, has made a heading of chapter in his musannaf saying: "The Du'aa/supplication (i.e. the above mentioned Du'aa) to be asked  having poverty or lack of sustenance"
