There are many hadiths on the acceptance of duas. These are only just a few.. The Prophet (SAW) declared: Three duas are surely answered: The dua of the oppressed, the dua of the traveler, and the dua of the father/mother (upon their child). The One who is suffering injustice is heard by Allah (SWT) when he invokes Allah (SWT) to retain his rights from the unjust one or oppressor. Allah (SWT) has sworn to help the one who is suffering from injustice sooner or later as the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to Muaad Ibn Jabal (RA), Beware of the supplication of the unjustly treated, because there is no shelter or veil between it (the supplication of the one who is suffering injustice) and Allah (SWT) [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim] The prophet (SAW) declared, Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan] The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (SWT)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] During travel supplication is heard by Allah (SWT) if the trip is for a good reason, but if the trip is for a bad intention or to perform illegal things (making sins) this will not apply to it. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?. [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi] Narrated Abu Hurairah (RA): Allah’s Messenger (SAW) talked about Friday and said: There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (SWT), then Allah (SWT) will definitely meet his demand. And he (the Prophet (SAW) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.[Sahih al-Bukhari] Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer’s leader) enters the mosque on Friday’s prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer). While Prostrating. Abu Hurairah (RA) narrated that Allah’s Messenger (SAW), said: The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (SWT) much in it. [Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasai and others, Sahih al-Jami #1175] When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer) he is facing Allah (SWT) and when he prostrates he is the nearest he can be to Allah (SWT) so it is best to invoke Allah (SWT) at this time. It is said that while in prostration, one should not ask for worldy needs but for the Hereafter. When Waking Up at Night. Narrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said: Whomever wakes up at night and says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shaiin qadir. Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir, wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (SWT) He is the only one who has no partners. His is the kingdom and all the praises are for Allah (SWT) All the glories are for Allah (SWT) And none has the right to be worshiped but Allah (SWT) and Allah (SWT) is the most Great and there is neither might nor power except with Allah (SWT) and then says, Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah (SWT), he will be responded to and if he makes ablution and performs Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari] Narrated Sahel Ibn Saad (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain. [Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah] Dua should be made after praising Allah and giving salat on the Prophet (SAW) in the tashahhud at the end of salat. Narrated Faddalah ibn Ubayd (RA): that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: When anyone of you makes dua, let him start by glorifying his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (SAW), then let him pray for whatever he wants. [abu Dawud #1481, at-Tirmidhi #3477] Ibn Masud narrates: I was once praying, and the Prophet (SAW), Abu Bakr and Umar (were all present). When I sat down (in the final tashahhud), I praised Allah, then sent salams on the Prophet, then started praying for myself. At this, the Prophet (SAW) said: Ask, and you shall be given it! Ask, and you shall be given it! [at-Tirmidhi #593] Umar (RA) narrated that the Prophet (SAW) said: Dua is detained between the heavens and the earth and no part of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet (SAW) [at-Tirmidhi #486] A sincere duaa, stemming from the heart of a Muslim for his absent brother or sister, is accepted. The prophet (SAW) said: There is no believing servant who supplicates for his brother in his absence where the angels do not say, the same be for you [Muslim] Duaa is the weapon of the believer. Make duaa often and stay close to Allah (swt).
