Authentic Duas

The supplication (dua) that made Anas Ibn Malik (Radi Allahu anhu) one of the wealthiest and most blessed people in Madinah was a direct, three-part prayer offered by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). Anas's mother, Umm Sulaim, requested the Prophet to pray for her son when he began his service as his servant. The Dua (Supplication) "O Allah, increase his wealth and his children, and bless him in what You have given him." اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ Allahumma akthir malahu wa waladahu, wa barik lahu fima a'taytahu. Allah answered the Prophet's prayer for Anas in three distinct ways: • Immense Wealth: Anas (radi Allahu anhu) became one of the wealthiest of the Ansar. His date orchards were legendary and uniquely fertile, yielding fruit twice a year when all others in Madinah only produced once. • Abundant Progeny: He was blessed with a massive family, surviving to see well over 120 children and grandchildren in his lifetime. • Long Life: The Prophet's prayer for abundant life resulted in Anas (Radi Allahu anhu) living past the age of 100, making him one of the very last surviving companions. 📚Sahih al-Bukhari
