Supplication in a State of Necessity and Travel
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some conditions are more likely to result in a response, such as illness, O Shaykh, and travel, as is the case. Is that so?
Answer:
That is a state of dire necessity, which is a likely occasion for the answer to be granted. Even disbelievers and those who associate partners with Allah are answered in a state of dire necessity; if they call upon Allah (Mighty and Majestic), He answers them, as He the Exalted said:[An-Naml 27:62]. He also informed us that the polytheists are [Al-Isra 17:67], and that they are [Luqman 31:32] when they associate partners with Him. So in a state of dire necessity, the supplication is answered. Likewise, in a state of poverty and distress, this is a likely occasion for the supplication to be accepted. It is also so in a state of travel, as in the hadith: Sahih Muslim 1015. This is also among the causes of the answer being granted: raising the hands in supplication, and for the person to be in a state like that of the traveler, in terms of humility and lowliness, for that is closer to the answer being granted. Yes.

Is He [not best] who responds to the desperate one when he calls upon Him and removes evil
أَمَّن يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيَكْشِفُ السُّوءَAnd when adversity touches you at sea, lost are [all] those you invoke except for Him.
وَإِذَا مَسَّكُمُ الضُّرُّ فِي الْبَحْرِ ضَلَّ مَن تَدْعُونَ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُAnd when waves come over them like canopies, they supplicate Allah, sincere to Him in religion. But when He delivers them to the land
وَإِذَا غَشِيَهُم مَّوْجٌ كَالظُّلَلِ دَعَوُا اللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ فَلَمَّا نَجَّاهُمْ إِلَى الْبَرِّa person who travels widely, his hair disheveled and covered with dust. He lifts his hand towards the sky
المسافر أشعث أغبر يمد يديه إلى السماء،
