Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: The hadith “How much of my prayer shall I make for you?” He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Whatever you wish.” I said: “A quarter.” He said: “Whatever you wish, and if you increase it, that is better for you.” I said: “A third,” up to the end of the hadith, is confusing to me. What is its meaning?
Answer:
The answer: Its meaning is: “My prayer,” meaning: supplication. “I make for you of my prayer” means: of my supplication. Supplication is called prayer, so one should frequently make supplication for the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
