Supplication is certainly answered, and that is through three ways. How do we interpret, in light of this, his saying (peace be upon him) regarding the supplication of Dhun-Nun?

The questioner : Here is a question that says: Supplication is certainly answered, and that is through three ways. How do we interpret, in light of this, his saying (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding the supplication of Dhun-Nun: ; why is this addition there?

The Shaykh : The questioner : The questioner is contradictory. He says at the beginning of the question: Supplication is certainly answered, and that is through three ways. Then, after mentioning the hadith of Dhun-Nun: , he says: What is this addition?
The answer is one of three. As long as you know that the response is in a manner and through one of the three ways, I mean, the response is realized through one of these ways in one of the forms. These ways differ for the supplicant. Allah (Mighty and Majestic) may hasten the response to the supplication, as is clear, meaning the reality... immediately. Another person He leaves; why? ... For example, he needs discipline; he does not deserve the response in the type he imagined. And so on, another example is not like that; but He tests him so that He may hear his complaint and his humility, and to increase for him in reward and recompense, storing it for the Day of Resurrection. The important thing is that no one can determine the type of Allah's (Mighty and Majestic) response to any of the supplications with which the Muslim supplicates. Is it of the first type, the second, or the third? Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the most knowledgeable about that.
