Jami' at-Tirmidhi — Hadith #29706

Al-Hasan bin Arafa told us, Yazid bin Harun told us, on the authority of Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Bakr al-Qurashi al-Maliki, on the authority of Musa bin Uqba, On the authority of Nafi’, on the authority of Ibn Umar, the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: “For whomever the door of supplication is opened among you, the doors of mercy will be opened for him.” He asked God for something more beloved to Him than asking for well-being. And the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said, “Indeed, supplication benefits both what has been revealed and what has not been revealed.” It is upon you, servants of God, to pray.” He said, “This is a strange hadith. We do not know it except from the hadith of Abd al-Rahman.” Ibn Abi Bakr Al-Qurashi, who is the Meccan and Maliki, and he is weak in hadith. Some scholars made him weak due to his memorization. Israel narrated this hadith on the authority of Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr, on the authority of Musa ibn Uqba, on the authority of Nafi’, on the authority of Ibn Umar, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace. He said, “God has never asked for anything more beloved to Him than wellness.”
