Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: It was mentioned in a hadith of Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said
Whoever asks for something in the name of Allah, give it to him, and whoever seeks refuge in Allah, grant him refuge.من سأل بالله فأعطوه، ومن استعاذ بالله فأعيذوه
Sahih Ibn Hibban 13:167
