Arabic text

٣٣٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ، قَالَ: أَخْبَرَنَا ‌الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبَانَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ ، عَنْ ‌أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الدُّعَاءُ مُخُّ» الْعِبَادَةِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ هَذَا الْوَجْهِ لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ ابْنِ لَهِيعَةَ.

Commentary

Worship is total submission with humility to Allāh ﷻ and accepting one's weaknesses and infirmity is the essence of supplication. Worship without its essence is nothing but words.
