The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever does not ask Allah, He becomes angry with him." In another wording, "Whoever does not call upon Allah."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: إنه من لم يسأل الله يغضب عليه. وفي لفظ: من لم يدع الله.
Tirmidhi (3373) narrated it, and the wording is his, as did Ibn Majah (3827) and Ahmad (9719), and the other wording is theirs, and Hakim (1/491), all of them through chains from Abu Malih Madani, who said, I heard Abu Salih narrate from Abu Hurairah, and he mentioned it. Hakim added, "Allah becomes angry with whoever does that, and no one else does that," meaning in supplication. Then he said, "A hadith sahih in chain, for Abu Salih Khuzi and Abu Malih Farsi have not been mentioned with criticism, they are only counted among the unknown narrators due to the scarcity of their hadiths." I say, it is not as he said, for Abu Salih Khuzi is disputed. Darimi transmitted from Ibn Main that he is "daif," as found in Kamil (7/2749). But Abu Zura was asked about his name and said, "He is not known. Abu Malih narrated from him. There is no harm in him." Jarh wa Tadil (9/393). So at the very least his hadith is hasan. As for Abu Malih Madani, known as Farsi, whose name was Subayh, a group of trustworthy narrators transmitted from him, and Ibn Main declared him trustworthy.As for what has been narrated from Anas as a raised hadith, "Let one of you ask his Lord for all his needs, even asking Him for the strap of his sandal if it breaks," the correct view is that it is mursal. Tirmidhi (8/3604) narrated it, as did Ibn Hibban (866, 894, 895) and Ibn Adi (6/2076), all of them through the route of Qatan bin Nusayr Basri, who said, Jafar bin Sulayman informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said, and he mentioned it.Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith. More than one narrator has transmitted this hadith from Jafar bin Sulayman, from Thabit Bunani, from the Prophet ﷺ as mursal, without mentioning Anas in it." Then he narrated it from Salih bin Abdullah, from Jafar bin Sulayman as mursal, then said, "This is more sahih than the hadith of Qatan, from Jafar bin Sulayman." I say, Ibn Abu Hatim said about Qatan bin Nusayr, "Abu Zura was asked about him, and I saw him bear down on him harshly," and he mentioned that he narrated hadiths from Jafar bin Sulayman, from Thabit, from Anas, which were considered objectionable against him, and this is one of them. Ibn Adi mentioned that a man said to Qawariri, "I have a shaykh who narrates it from Jafar, from Thabit, from Anas," so Qawariri said, "Baseless," meaning that connecting it is baseless, and the correct view is that it is mursal. Ibn Adi said following this, "This is as he said."It is established from Ayesha that she said, "Ask Allah for everything, even the sandal strap, for if Allah, Mighty and Majestic, does not make it easy, it will not become easy." Abu Yaala (4560) narrated it, and from him Ibn Sunni in Amal al-Yawm wal-Layla (356), with a hasan chain.Likewise, what has been narrated from Ibn Umar is not sahih, that he said, the Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever among you has the door of supplication opened for him has had the doors of mercy opened for him, and nothing is asked of Allah that is more beloved to Him than being asked for well-being." And the Messenger of Allah said, "Supplication benefits against what has befallen and what has not yet befallen, so hold fast, servants of Allah, to supplication." Tirmidhi (3548) and Hakim (1/498) narrated it, both through the route of Yazid bin Harun, from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr Qurashi, from Musa bin Uqba, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, who mentioned it. The wording given is Tirmidhi's, and Hakim's version does not contain, "Supplication benefits against what has befallen..."Tirmidhi said, "This is a gharib hadith, we do not know it except through the hadith of Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr Qurashi, who is Makki Mulayki, and he is daif in hadith, some scholars of hadith have spoken about him on account of his memory. Israil has narrated this hadith from Abdul-Rahman bin Abu Bakr, from Musa bin Uqba, from Nafi, from Ibn Umar, from the Prophet ﷺ, who said, 'Nothing is asked of Allah more beloved to Him than well-being.' Qasim bin Dinar Kufi narrated that to us, Ishaq bin Mansur Kufi narrated to us, from Israil with this." End of quote.As for Hakim, he said, "This is a hadith sahih in chain," but Dhahabi challenged him, saying, "Mulayki is daif."Likewise, what has been narrated from Abdullah bin Masud is not sahih, that he said, the Messenger of Allah said, "Ask Allah from His bounty, for Allah loves to be asked, and the best worship is waiting for relief." Tirmidhi (3571) and Ibn Adi in Kamil (2/665) narrated it, both through the route of Hammad bin Waqid, from Israil, from Abu Ishaq, from Abu Ahwas, from Abdullah, who mentioned it. Hammad bin Waqid is Saffar, who is daif, and he has been contradicted in his chain.Tirmidhi said, "This is how Hammad bin Waqid narrated this hadith, but he has been contradicted in his narration of it, and this Hammad bin Waqid is Saffar, who is not a hafiz. Abu Naeem has narrated this hadith from Israil, from Hakeem bin Jubayr, from a man, from the Prophet ﷺ as mursal, and the hadith of Abu Naeem is more likely to be the more sahih one." End of quote.
