حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا وَکِيعٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خُزَيْمَةَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِکٍ قَالَ سَمِعَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُکَ بِأَنَّ لَکَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَکَ لَا شَرِيکَ لَکَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِکْرَامِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَی وَإِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3858
It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: "The Prophet(saw) heard a man say: ' (O Allah! I ask You by virtue of the fact that all praise is due to YOU; none has the right to be worshiped but You alone, and You have no partner or associate, the Bestower, the Originator of the heavens and the earth, the Possessor of majesty and honor.’ He(saw) said: ‘He has asked Allah by His Greatest Name which, if He is asked thereby He gives and if He is called upon thereby He answers’” (Hasan)
