Even when you weren't in the room, you were still
in his heart SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
The Ummah never is out of the dua'a
of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
So whether you lived in his time or not in his time
and even if you lived in his time,
how many times did the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
Pray for us
without us ever hearing it.
But the one who needed to hear it heard it
(dramatic music)
Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
She mentions that one night
the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
was not in the bed next to her.
And she said,
"I started looking for him."
And of course, because it was dark, she said
"I started moving my hand around."
So she said,
"I ended up with my hand on his foot.
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam and his foot was upright."
meaning he was in a place of sajda
and I heard the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam saying,
a'oothu bi ridhaaka min sakhatika wa bimu'aafaatika min
'uqoobatika wa'a'oothu bika minka, laa 'uhsee thanaa'an
'alayka, 'anta kamaa 'athnayta 'alaa nafsika
the very famous dua'a that we should make every single
night. I seek refuge in your pleasure from your anger.
And I seek refuge in your forgiveness from your punishment.
And I seek refuge in you from you.
And I cannot praise you as you have praised yourself.
Meaning my praise is always going to be insufficient.
And your praise for yourself will always be greater
Oh Allah.
This was the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
in his sajda
and we can not capture how many of those dua'as
were for himself and how many of them were for his Ummah.
But we know his essence
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
And there are narrations that are so remarkably consistent
about his dua'as inside the house and outside the house.
And this is particularly where you find the sahaba
mentioning the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
one time in sujud for so long
that they thought he was dead.
How long would you have to be in prostration?
And how still would you have to be
for people to think that you were dead?
And that was the case of the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
And when they asked the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam what had happened
as he raised his head
rasulullah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
was crying Alayhi Salatu Wasallam
and Jibreel Alayhi Salaam came to the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and he asked the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
"Allah has sent me to you to see why you are crying."
And the Prophets SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
was crying for what
Ummati, Ummati
my Ummah, my Ummah
and Subh'anaHu Wa Ta-A'la send Jibreel
Alahyi Salaam to the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
to tell him
sanAr dhikafi ummatik
we will please you with your Ummah.
Wala na suOok
And we will not disappoint you with your Ummah.
That's him on the outside
of his house SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
on the inside Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha says
"I one time saw him standing up
and repeating the same verse over and over and over again."
He prayed the entire night
with that one verse
and Umm Salama radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
has a similar narration
and Abu Dharr radiAllahu Anhu
that the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
would spend the whole night reciting
In tuAAaththibhum fa-innahum AAibadukawa-in taghfir lahum
fa-innaka anta alAAazeezu alhakeem
If you punish them, they are your slaves
and if you forgive him, verily you alone,
Oh Allah are the almighty
and the all wise
and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
would make dua'a for us
throughout the entire night SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and the most beautiful narration
in this regard
is one where Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
says,
"I saw the Prophets SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
one day in a very good mood"
and Aisha, radiAllahu ta'ala Anha
as we've already established
she knows the dua'a of the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi
Wasallam and the miracles of her husband
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
and when you saw the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
happy what would you want to ask him?
You would say, ya Rasulullah,
make dua'a for me.
Wouldn't you say that to the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam if he was front of you,
if he was in your house,
wouldn't you say
"Ya rasulullah can you make a dua'a for me?
Can you pray for me?
Can you pray for us in this gathering?"
So Aisha radiAllahu ta'ala Anha said,
I said to rasulullah SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
"Ya Rasulullah make dua'a for me."
And so she says that the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam then raised his hands
and said Allahummaghfirli Aisha
Oh Allah forgive Aisha
ma taqaddama min thanbiha wa ma taakhkhara wama asarrat wama
a'naat
Oh Allah forgive all of Aisha's sins
the previous ones and the future ones
the secret ones and the outward ones.
SubhanAllah so the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
made dua'a for Allah to forgive everything for Aisha
radiAllahu Anha
Remember Aisha asked the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
why he was crying and the Prophet SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
explained to her that he was being grateful.
And she said Allah has forgiven you for all of your sins.
So that's the greatest thing you could ask him for
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam.
So Aisha radiAllahu Anha said
"When he made that dua'a, I was so happy.
I smiled and then I laughed and then my head dropped
in his lap SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam"
So think of the scene,
Aisha radiAllahu Anha
in joy in the lap of the Prophet
SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam
And he is happy and he's in joy.
And he says to Aisha radhiallalhu wa anha,
"Ya Aisha, are you happy because of my dua'a?"
She said
"How can I not be happy with the supplication?
How can I not be happy with this dua'a?"
And the Prophets SallAllahu Alaihi Wasallam says,
wAllahi inna ha la di'waTi li ummati fi qulli salah
I swear by Allah,
this is the dua'a that I make
for my entire Ummah in every single prayer.
