Frequent remembrance of Allāh and supplication In a Hadīth, the Prophet, (Sallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam) said: "The best supplication is that of the Day of ‘Arafah, and the best thing that I and other prophets before me said, is: 'Lā ilāha illallāhu wahdahu la sharīka lah, lahul mulk wa lahul hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadīr (There is none worthy of worship except Allāh Alone and He has no partners, dominion and praise belong to Him, and He is over all things Omnipotent)." [At-Tirmidzi] Commenting on the Hadīth, Ibn ‘Abdul-Barr (rahimallah) said, "The Hadīth stands as evidence that the supplications on the Day of ‘Arafah are most probably answered and that the best of remembrance of Allāh is to say, 'There is none worthy of worship except Allāh'." Al-Khattābi (rahimallah) said, "The Hadīth means that the most frequent words with which the Prophet (Sallallāhu 'alaihi wa sallam) used to commence his supplication and give it precedence over his request is praising Allāh Almighty. One who supplicates Allāh starts with praising Allāh the Almighty and says it before asking Allāh for anything and therefore praising in this Hadīth was called supplication."
