The Duaa of a Bedouin

Isma’ee (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) narrates: Once a Bedouin stood in front of the grave of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) saying: “O Allah, here lies Your beloved. I am Your slave and Shaytaan is Your enemy. If You forgive me, Your beloved here shall be pleased, Your slave shall be successful and the heart of Your enemy will be displeased. O my Sustainer, if You do not forgive me, the heart of Your beloved will grieve, Your enemy will be overjoyed and this slave of Yours will be defeated. O Allah, it is a custom among the Arabs that whenever a great ruler among them passes away, they used to set free slaves besides his grave. O Allah, here lies the master among all the leaders and rulers, and here I stand as Your slave. O Allah, set me free from the fire of Jahannum.”

Isma’ee (Rahmatullahi Alaihi) says further: “Hearing the supplication of this Bedouin, I said to him, ‘O Arab, for that most appropriate supplication and manner of asking, Allah Ta’ala will definitely forgive your sins.” (Mawaahib) (Fazaail Madina)
