Hadith 24260

Muwatta Malik

موطأ مالك

38
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ دَاعٍ يَدْعُو إِلاَّ كَانَ بَيْنَ إِحْدَى ثَلاَثٍ إِمَّا أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُدَّخَرَ لَهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُكَفَّرَ عَنْهُ .


Yahya related to me from Malik that Zayd ibn Aslam used to say,"No-one makes a dua without one of three things happening. Either itis answered, or it is stored up for him, or wrong actions are atonedfor by it."
