Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I strive to supplicate with what the prophets used to supplicate with, and with what is mentioned in the Qur'an. Among this is that I supplicate with what is reported from Ibrahim (peace be upon him)[Ibrahim 14:40] He says: I heard a person say, "Do not say 'and of my offspring,' but rather say 'and my offspring,' because all of your offspring are Muslims." Is his statement correct?
Answer:
This is what one who knows the meaning of the Arabic language understands. The "min" in "and of my offspring" is a "min" of specification (bayaniyyah), indicating that it is a part of the whole. It comes as a partitive (ta'bi'iyyah) and it comes for specification. Yes.

My Lord, make me an establisher of prayer, and [many] from my descendants. Our Lord, and accept my supplication.
