3857. It was narrated from 'Abdullâh bin Buraidah that his father said: "The Prophet ﷺ heard a man say: 'Allâhumma! Innî as'aluka bi-annaka Antallâhul-Ahadus-Samad, alladhi lam yalid wa lam yuwalad, wa lam yakun lahu kufuwan ahad (O Allâh! I ask You by virtue of Your being Allâh, the One, the Self-Sufficient Master, Who begets not nor was begotten, and there is none co-equal or comparable to Him).' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'He has asked Allâh by His Greatest Name, which if He is asked thereby He gives, and if He is called upon thereby He answers.'" (Sahih)

Commentary
a. The attributes which are mentioned in this supplication are the same that are mentioned in Surat Al-Ikhlâs. These attributes also prove the meaning of monotheism, so they also include the meaning of لا إله إلا الله .
b. Making supplications by the Names and Attributes of Allâh is more entitled to be accepted.
