3548. Ibn 'Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Whomsoever of you the door of supplication is opened for, the doors of mercy have been opened for him. And Allāh is not asked for anything – meaning: – more beloved to Him, than being asked for Al-Āfiyah."
And the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The supplication benefits against that which strikes[1] and that which does not strike, so hold fast, O worshippers of Allāh, to supplication." (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb, we do not know of it except through the narration of Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Bakr Al-
Qurashī and he is Al-Makki Al-Mulaikī, and he is weak in Ḥadīth. Some of the people of Ḥadīth have criticized him due to his memory. Isrā'īl reported this Ḥadīth from 'Abdur-Raḥmān bin Abū Bakr, from Mūsā bin 'Uqbah, from Nāfī', from Ibn 'Umar, that Prophet ﷺ said: "Allāh is not asked for anything more beloved to Him than Al-Āfiyah."
