> Duas' which are Answered on the Moment

[Qatada]

:


Let's post ahadith and examples of duas' in this thread which were answered straightaway, as a proof of Allah.

Sahih Al Bukhari Volume 2, Book 17 [istisqa/seeking rain], Number 126:

Narrated Sharik bin 'Abdullah bin Abi Namir:
I heard Anas bin Malik saying, "On a Friday a person entered the main Mosque through the gate facing the pulpit while Allah's Apostle was delivering the Khutba. The man stood in front of Allah's Apostle and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off; so please pray to Allah for rain.' "

Anas added, "Allah's Prophet (p.b.u.h) raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain! O Allah! Bless us with rain!' "

Anas added, "By Allah, we could not see any trace of cloud in the sky and there was no building or a house between us and (the mountains of) Sila." Anas added, "A heavy cloud like a shield appeared from behind it (i.e. Sila' Mountain). When it came in the middle of the sky, it spread and then rained." Anas further said, "By Allah! We could not see the sun for a week.


Next Friday a person entered through the same gate and at that time Allah's Prophet was delivering the Friday's Khutba. The man stood in front of him and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! The livestock are dying and the roads are cut off, please pray to Allah to with-hold rain.' " Anas added, "Allah's Prophet raised both his hands and said, 'O Allah! Round about us and not on us. O Allah! On the plateaus, on the mountains, on the hills, in the valleys and on the places where trees grow.' So the rain stopped and we came out walking in the sun." Sharik asked Anas whether it was the same person who had asked for the rain (the last Friday). Anas replied that he did not know.

There's much more examples similar to this. Keep in mind this was the Arabian Peninsula where it hardly rained at all.

This is a statement coming from a man who could never lie about Prophet Muhammad, because lying about God's Messenger - whether 'good' or bad - is threatened with the hellfire. So even if someone had a good intent - they could not lie about him. So it is a sign that its a response from Allah straightaway.

asalaam alaikum

Qatadah said, "They [the Prophet and his companions] went to Ash-Sham [Syria] during the year of the battle of Tabuk at a time when the heat was intense. Allah knew how hard things were, and they suffered great hardship. We were told that two men used to divide a date between themselves. Some of them would take turns in sucking on a date and drinking water, then give it to another man to suck on. Allah forgave them and allowed them to come back from that battle.'' Ibn Jarir reported that `Abdullah bin `Abbas said that `Umar bin Al-Khattab was reminded of the battle of distress (Tabuk) and `Umar said, "We went with the Messenger of Allah in the intense heat for Tabuk. We camped at a place in which we were stricken so hard by thirst that we thought that our necks would be severed. One of us used to go out in search of water and did not return until he feared that his neck would be severed. One would slaughter his camel, squeeze its intestines and drink its content, placing whatever was left on his kidney. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq said, `O Allah's Messenger! Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored, has always accepted your invocation, so invoke Allah for us.' The Prophet said,

«تُحِبُّ ذَلِكَ؟»

(Would you like me to do that) Abu Bakr said, `Yes.' The Prophet raised his hands and did not put them down until rain fell from the sky in abundance. It rained and then stopped raining for a while, then rained again, so they filled their containers. We went out to see where the rain reached and found that it did not rain beyond our camp.''

asalaam alaikum warahmatulah wabarakatuh


i don't know if this one fits this section;

From Anas, who said: I was with the Prophet (sas) on day. There was no one present but myself, my mother and Umm Haraam, my maternal aunt. The Prophet (sas) entered the room and said to us, "Should I not pray with you?". This was not the time of any of the five prayers. A man asked, "Where did he have Anas stand in relation to himself (sas)?" He said, He placed Anas at this right side and then he prayed with us. Then he made du'a for us - all the people of the household - and asked for us every good of this life and the hereafter. Then my mother said, "O Messenger of Allah! Your little servant, ask Allah for him." So, he (sas) made du'a for me the end of which was, "O Allah, increase his wealth and his children and bless him."

Anas said about this [when he was an old man], "My daughter informed me that I had over 90 children and there was no one among the Ansar [people of Medinah] wealthier than I. Then, he said to Thabit (his friend of 40 years), "O Thabit, I now possess no gold nor silver except this ring." Another narration suggests that his children may have been over 120.
