Context

We relate in the Sunans of Abū Dāwūd and an-Nasā’ī that Anas Honorific symbol reported that he was sitting with the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol while a man was performing ṣalāh, then supplicated, saying: “O Allah, I ask You because to You belongs all praise. There is no god but You, the Benefactor, Originator of the heavens and the earth. O Owner of Majesty and Honour, O Living, O Self-Subsisting.” The Prophet Honorific symbol then commented: “He has supplicated to Allah Honorific symbol by His Supreme Name; if called on [by it], He responds; and if asked [by it], He gives.” [25].
