A Duaa to Continuously Beg from Allah Ta’ala

عن أبي الفضل العباس بن عبد المطلب رضي الله عنه قال: قلت :يا رسول الله علمني شيئا أسأله الله تعالى قال: سلوا الله العافية فمكثت أياما ثم جئت فقلت: يا رسول الله علمني شيئا أسأله الله تعالى قال لي: يا عباس يا عم رسول الله سلوا الله العافية في الدنيا والآخرة. (الترمذي رقم 3514)

Hadhrat Abbaas (Radhiyallahu Anhu) reports: “I once asked Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), ‘O Rasul of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), teach me a (beneficial) duaa which I should beg from Allah Ta’ala.’ Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: ‘Beg Allah Ta’ala to bless you with aafiyah (physical and spiritual ease).’ After a few days I came again to Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and asked, ‘O Rasul of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), teach me a (beneficial) duaa which I should beg from Allah Ta’ala.’ Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) replied: ‘O Abbaas, O uncle of Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), beg Allah Ta’ala to bless you with aafiyah in this world and the aakhirah.”
