The Prophet (a.

The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Practice du’a too much because du’a repels the fate.” He also said, “Some man may be deprived of livelihood because of a sin that he commits, and nothing can repel the decree of fate except du’a, and nothing increases one’s old except piety.” [1] He said, “Dutifulness to parents increases one’s old, lying decreases one’s livelihood, and du’a repels the decree of fate.” [2] He said, “Du’a repels the decree of fate.” [3] He said, “Guard your properties by zakat, cure your sick ones by charity, and prepare du’a for afflictions.” [4] He said, “Nothing repels the decree of fate except du’a and nothing increases one’s old except piety.” [5] He said, “Carefulness is not useful before the decree of fate, but du’a is useful before what has come down (of affliction) and what has not come down yet.” [6] Those whose du’a is responded to Some traditions were transmitted from the Prophet (a.s.) showing that Allah promptly responds to the supplication of some people, such as: [1] Musnad of Ahmed bin Hanbal, vol.

5 p. 277. [2] At-Targheeb wet-Tarheeb, vol. 3 p. 596. [3] Kanzol Ummal, vol. 3 p. 63. [4] Nahj al-Fasahah, vol. 1 p. 324, quoted from al-Mu’jam al-Kabeer, vol. 1 p. 128. [5] Mustadrak al-Hakim, vol. 1 p. 493. [6] Shu’ab al-Eeman, vol. 2 p. 50. 1.

The wronged The Prophet (a.s.) said, “Beware of the supplication of a wronged one because he just asks Allah for his right, and Allah the Almighty does never prevent any rightful one from his right.” [1] This tradition declares that Allah responds to the supplication of the wronged whether they are believers or not and He avenges severely on the unjust.

The Prophet (a.s.) said, “The supplication of a wronged one is responded to even if he is a dissolute, because his dissoluteness is against himself .” [2] He said, “Avoid the invocations of the wronged because there is no screen between them and Allah.” [3] He said, “Beware of the wronged one’s invocation because it is carried on the clouds, and Allah the Almighty says: by My glory and loftiness, I will make you (the wronged one) win even if after a time.” [4] He said, “Beware of the wronged one’s invocation, because it goes up to the heaven like a spark.” [5] He said, “He, who invokes (Allah) against one who has wronged him, will be supported.” [6] [1] Kanzol Ummal, vol.
