1493. 'Abdullāh bin Buraidah narrated from his father, that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ heard a man say: "Allāhumma! Innī asa'luka, innī ashhadu annaka ant Allāh, lā ilāha illā antal-ahaduṣ-ṣamadulladhi lam yalid wa lam yulad wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan aḥad (O Allāh! I ask you (by right of) the fact that I testify that You are Allāh — there is no deity besides you; the Unique, the One Whom all objects turn to, the One Who does not beget nor was He begotten, and there is nothing that is similar to Him)." So he said: "You have asked Allāh by His Name which, when He is asked with it, He gives, and when He is called by it, He responds." (Sahih)

Arabic text

1493 - حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ مِغْوَلٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَمِعَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ، الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ، وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ، فَقَالَ: «لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ بِالِاسْمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى، وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ».

Commentary

One should supplicate to Allāh, invoking His Attributes. That is the way the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ supplicated.
