The Sufficient (Vol 2) · Hadith 1629 (#Ḥadīth #8)

8ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَلادٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) عَلَيْكُمْ بِالدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ لله وَالطَّلَبَ إِلَى الله يَرُدُّ الْبَلاءَ وَقَدْ قُدِّرَ وَقُضِيَ وَلَمْ يَبْقَ إِلا إِمْضَاؤُهُ فَإِذَا دُعِيَ الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَسُئِلَ صُرِفَ الْبَلاءُ صَرْفَةً.

8. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from ibn Mahbub from abu Wallad who has said the following: “Abu al-Hassan Musa has said, ‘You must pray and plead before Allah for help; pleading before Allah for help and requesting from Him repels misfortunes even though they may have already been measured and determined, Qudiya and Quddira, and are set to take place free of all obstacles except final approval, al-’Imda’. When Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, is called for help and is requested to remove a misfortune. He diverts it without fail.’”
