The ruling on praising Allah before supplication
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The hadith of Sa'd (regarding the Bedouin who came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked... and in it: "Say: There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. Allah is the Greatest, the Magnificent...") Does this establish the recommendation of praising Allah before supplication?
Answer:
He asked about this, and he asked about that, but he knows from other proofs that one praises Allah, then sends blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then makes supplication. This is known from other proofs. Otherwise, this questioner asked about what pleases Allah and what concerns himself.
Q: Is the supplication of Witr and the supplication of Qunut excluded from this? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh: Nothing has been reported regarding preceding it with anything. One begins: "O Allah, guide us."
