عن محمد بن يحيى بن حبان عن أبيه عن جده رضي الله عنه أن رجلا قال يا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أجعل ثلث صلاتي عليك قال نعم إن شئت قال الثلثين قال نعم إن شئت قال فصلاتي كلها قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا يكفيك الله ما أهمك من أمر دنياك وآخرتك رواه الطبراني بإسناد حسن (الترغيب والترهيب رقم 2578)

Hazrat Habbaan bin Munqiz (rahimahullah) reports that a certain Sahaabi once asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), should I devote one-third of the time I have allocated for du‘aa to recite durood upon you?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “Yes, if you wish.” The Sahaabi then asked, “Should I devote two-thirds of that time for reciting durood upon you?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) again replied, “Yes, if you wish.” The Sahaabi then asked, “Should I devote all of that time for reciting durood upon you?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) responded, “If you do so, Allah Ta‘ala will suffice you of every need which you have (and you would have asked for in your du‘aa), whether it relates to your dunya or your Aakhirah.”

Note: In this Hadith, the Sahaabi explained to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) that he had reserved some time during the day or night to engage in making special du‘aa. He further asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) whether it would be better for him to dedicate that entire time to reciting durood, and Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) informed him that he would receive the reward of the durood as well as have his du‘aas answered for the needs that he would have begged Allah Ta‘ala for in du‘aa had he engaged in du‘aa. This Hadith in no way shows that the Sahaabi was intending to abandon the sunnah of du‘aa, as du‘aa is made after every fardh salaah as well as after the tahaajud salaah and nafl salaah that one performs. Hence, this Sahaabi would have been making du‘aa at these other times as well.

Furthermore, the meaning of this Hadith is supported by the Hadith-e-Qudsi in which Allah Ta‘ala says:

من شغله ذكري عن مسالتي أعطيته أفضل ما أعطي السائلين

The one who My remembrance occupies him from making du‘aa to me and asking of Me, I will give him better than that which I give to the people who make du‘aa to Me and ask of Me.

يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ وَسَلِّمْ دَائِمًا اَبَدًا عَلَى حَبِيْبِكَ خَيْرِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمِ
