Hadith of the Week 13

Hadhrat A'ishah (ra) narrated:

"Once, when I saw the Prophet (sallAllahu `alayhi wasallam) in a good mood, I said to him: "O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah for me!"

So, he (sallAllahu `alayhi wasallam) said: "O Allah! Forgive 'A'ishah her past and future sins, what she has hidden, as well as what she has made apparent."

So, I began smiling, to the point that my head fell into my lap out of joy.

The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu `alayhi wasallam) said to me: "Does my supplication make you happy?"

I replied: "And how can your supplication not make me happy?"

He (sallAllahu `alayhi wasallam) then said: "By Allah, it is the supplication that I make for my Ummah in every prayer."
