It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that the Prophet (sallAllahu 'alyhi wasallam) said: “There is no Muslim who calls upon Allaah with words in which there is no sin or severing of family ties but Allaah will give him one of three things: ✔either He will answer his prayer soon, or ✔He will store it up for him in the Hereafter, or ✔He will remove something bad from him that is equivalent to what he is asking for.” They said, “Then we should make a great amount of du’aa’.” He said, “Allaah is greater.” (Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 3573; classed as saheeh by al-Tirmidhi and others)
