Mentioning the benefits that arise from varying supplications.

The Shaykh : Because there are benefits in that:
The first benefit is following the Sunnah, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did this and this. So if you do this and this, you have achieved following the Sunnah.
The second benefit is reviving the Sunnah, because if you restrict yourself to one form, you forget the second form and it remains dead. So if you mention this one time and that one time, there is a revival of the Sunnah in that.
The third aspect is that it is more present for the heart. How is that? Because when a person persists with something, he ends up saying it automatically without knowing it. For this reason, you find that many people now say the takbir and begin with "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika" and recite al-Fatihah, while their heart is heedless and distracted; it is not present. But if he pays attention to saying this one time and that one time, his heart becomes present in order to monitor doing this one time and that one time.
Fourthly: it may be that some forms are easier for a person in certain circumstances. This is clear. And I do not know, by Allah, if it is clear how you say "clear" when you do not know the example.
