Hadith: Nothing is more honorable in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
«لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَمَ عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ».
[حسن] - [رواه الترمذي وابن ماجه وأحمد] - [سنن الترمذي: 3370]

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Nothing is more honorable in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication."
[Good hadith] - [Narrated by At-Termedhy & Ibn Majah & Ahmad] - [Sunan At-Termedhy - 3370]
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that no act of worship is more virtuous in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication. This is because supplication comprises recognition of Allah's self-sufficiency and the servant's helplessness and need of his Lord.
Benefits from the Hadith
- The Hadīth demonstrates the merit of supplication and that when a servant supplicates his Lord, he thus extols Him and acknowledges that He is Self-Sufficient, Hearing, Generous, Powerful, and Near, for supplication would not be directed to one who is needy, deaf, stingy, merciless, powerless, or distant - and the list of the attributes of Allah's excellence and majesty are numerous.
