The ruling on relying on a single supplication in place of the other supplications
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, is this supplication considered comprehensive and sufficient in place of the other supplications? It is: “O Allah, I ask You for the good that Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and Your righteous servants asked You for.”
Answer:
This is a great supplication, but it does not suffice in place of the other supplications. Rather, a person should supplicate with every supplication he knows, adding to the good, and not restrict himself to a single formula. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not restrict himself to a single formula; rather, he would supplicate with this one, and with that one, and with that one.
