I just wanted to bring to attention a very intersting find by Brother Nader Zaveri on his blog.

What to Say After Supplication

Here is a SaHeeH (Authentic) hadeeth on what to say after your supplication (du`aa). Allaah (سبحانه و تعالى) promises that He will answer and carry out your needs.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ إِذَا دَعَا الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ بَعْدَ مَا دَعَا- مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اسْتَبْسَلَ عَبْدِي وَ اسْتَسْلَمَ لِأَمْرِي اقْضُوا حَاجَتَهُ

From Hishaam bin Saalim from Abee `Abd Allaah (عليه السلام) said: “When a man supplicates, and says (this) after what he supplicates,

مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ

“As Allah wills, there are no means and no power without the help of Allah,”

Allaah (عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ) says: “My servant has accepted, and surrendered to my command. Carry out his needs.

Grading:

1. Al-Majlisi said this hadeeth is SaHeeH

à Mir’aat Al-`Uqool, vol. 12, pg. 212

So I think this is really easy to practice and can be included in any dua u do so please make use of it. Of course dont forget to start ur dua with salawat!!!

Again thanks to brother Nader for digging this up.
