The Dangers of Supplicating Against Yourself and Loved Ones

A Warning from the Quran and Hadith: Be Mindful of Your Supplications

“And were ALLĀH to hasten for mankind the evil ˹they invoke for themselves and for their children. while in a state of anger˺ as HE hastens for them the good ˹they invoke˺ then they would have been ruined.”

{Surah Yūnus: Verse 11}

Jabir ibn Abdullāh (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of ALLĀH (ﷺ) said, “Do not supplicate against yourselves, do not supplicate against your children, and do not supplicate against your wealth, lest it coincide with a time in which ALLĀH is asked and he gives and your supplication is answered.”

In another narration, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Do not supplicate against your servants.”

{Muslim #3014}

Shaykh Dr. ‘Abdul ar-Razzaq al-Badr (may ALLĀH preserve him) said: “One of the important matters to which the Muslim must pay attention in his supplication is that he should understand what he is asking of his Lord, may HE be glorified and exalted, and he should not be hasty in what he asks for. Rather he should reflect properly on his situation, so that he will be able to decide what is really best and most appropriate to ask for, and what is bad and worth seeking refuge from.” {Fiqh al-Ad‘iyah wa’l-Adhkar, 2/255}
