(63) باب مَا ذُكِرَ فِي الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَالصَّلاَةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبْلَ الدُّعَاءِ
Abdullah said:
"I was prayed and the Prophet, Abu Bakr, and Umar were there, so when I sat, I started off with praising Allah, then sending Salat upon the Prophet, then supplicating for myself. So the Prophet said: 'Ask, your request will be granted, ask, your request will be ranted.'"
