The Virtue of Supplication Between the Midday and Afternoon Prayers on Wednesday

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

Question:
May Allah reward you. Yasir Muhammad from Al-Jawf says: Is there a hadith regarding the virtue of supplication between the Dhuhr and Asr prayers on Wednesday?

Answer:
It is reported that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) made a supplication on a Wednesday and it was answered for him, and it was answered for him. This is not a general rule for everyone; rather, this occurred specifically for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). There is no special status for Wednesday, meaning one should not take from this that Wednesday has a special status in supplication. Allah has commanded supplication at all times.

And your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."

وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ

[Ghafir 40:60]

Allah the Exalted said:

And when My servants

وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ

[Al-Baqarah 2:186]

regarding

servants ask you, [O Muhammad], concerning Me - indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the supplicant when he calls upon Me. So let them respond to Me [by obedience] and believe in Me that they may be [rightly] guided.

عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذَا دَعَانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَلْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ

[Al-Baqarah 2:186]

So the Muslim supplicates to his Lord at all times and in every moment. However, supplication in prayer, supplication in the last part of the night, and supplication on Friday are more emphatic in being answered for those whom Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has guided. Yes.
