Narrated Anas ibn Malik: “I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and a man was offering prayer in which he supplicated:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَكَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، يا ذُو الْجَلاَلِ وَالإِكْرَامِ، يَا حَىُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
Allahumma inni as’aluka bi-anna lakal-hamd. La ilaha illa Anta, wahdaka la sharika laka. Al-Mannanu, Badi’us-samawati wal-ard, Ya Dhal-jalali wal-ikram, Ya Hayyu Ya Qayyum
(O Allah! I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to You; none has the right to be worshiped but You alone, and You have no partner or associate, the Bestower, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of Majesty and Honor, O Ever-Living, O Eternal One)
The Prophet (ﷺ) then said: “Do you know what he has supplicated with?” They said: “Allaah and His Messenger know best.” He said: “By the One in Whose Hand is my soul, he called upon Allaah by His greatest Name, which – if He is called by it – He responds, and if He is asked by it, He gives.”
