3372. An-Nu'mān bin Bashīr narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The supplication, is worship." Then he recited: And Your Lord said: "Call upon me, I will respond to you. Verily, those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter Hell humiliated."[1] (Ṣaḥīḥ)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Maṇṣūr and Al-A'mash narrated it from Dharr, and
we do not know it except from the narration of Dharr. [He is Dharr bin 'Abdullāh Al-Hamdānī, trustworthy, the father of 'Umar bin Dharr.]

Commentary
Supplication is worship in itself, and for proof the Prophet (ﷺ) recited the Verse of Sūrat Ghāfir, "Call upon Me, I will respond to you. Verily, those who scorn My worship, they will surely enter the Hell humiliated." This Verse shows that not begging His favors is a sign of scorn. As supplication is the essence of worship, and without its essence, the supplication is nothing but lifeless utterances.
