    Is Dua the Weapon of the

    Believer?
    Is Dua the Weapon of the Believer?
    ‫ﺑﺴﻢ اﻟﻠﻪ اﻟﺮﺣﻤﻦ اﻟﺮﺣﻴﻢ‬

    So many times we’ve heard Muslims refer to Dua


    as being the weapon of the believer more so
    than worship. Dua plays a major role in the
    life of the Muslim in regards to his
    relationship with Allah. When the servant makes
    dua it affirms that he trusts, relies and is in
    need of the Most High’s Assistance. The
    Prophet [‫ ]ﷺ‬named dua worship , but did he call
    it the weapon of the believer and why do people
    often refer to it as their weapon. After
    looking to see if the Prophet [‫]ﷺ‬, His
    companions, or did any from the Salaf name Dua
    the believer’s weapon I found a hadith.
    : َ‫ ﻗ َﺎل‬، ْ‫ﻋ َﻠِﻲ ٍّ ر َﺿ ِﻲ َ اﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻋ َﻨْﻬ ُﻢ‬
    ِ‫ﻗ َﺎلَ ر َﺳُﻮلُ اﻟﻠﻪِ ﺻ َﻠَّﻰ اﻟﻠَّﻪُ ﻋ َﻠَﻴ ْﻪ‬
    ، ِ ‫ اﻟﺪ ُّﻋ َﺎءُ ﺳ ِﻼ َحُ اﻟْﻤُﺆْﻣِﻦ‬: َ‫وَﺳَﻠَّﻢ‬
    ِ‫ وَﻧُﻮر ُ اﻟﺴ َّﻤَﺎوَات‬، ِ ‫وَﻋ ِﻤَﺎدُ اﻟﺪ ِّﻳﻦ‬
    َ
    ِ‫وَاﻷ ر ْض‬.
    Ali [radi Allahu anhu] narrated the Prophet [‫]ﷺ‬
    said : The Dua is the weapon of the believer, a
    pillar of the religion and a light for the
    Heavens and the Earth.
    Imam Al-Albani in his Da’eefah mentioned the
    hadith was fabricated.
    This hadith by Abu Ya’la [ 429], Ibn ‘Adee
    [2/296], Al-Hakim [1/492], Al-Qada-ee [1/2/4]
    all by way of Al-Hussain ibn Hammad—Muhammad
    ibnil Hasan ibniz Zubayr Al-Hamadani— Ja’far
    ibn Muhammad ibn Ali ibnil Hussain— on his
    father—his grandfather on the Prophet[‫]ﷺ‬
    Al-Hakim said this hadith was authentic and
    Imam Ath-Thahabbi agreed with Al-Hakim’s
    ruling.
    Imam Al-Albani said this is a gross error from
    two angles;
    The chain is broken and Imam Ath-Thahabbi
    mentioned this in Al-Mizan. Somebody is
    missing between Ali ibnil Hussain and his
    grandfather Ali ibn Abi Talib.

    Muhammad ibn Al-Hasan Al-Hamadani isn’t


    trustworsty as Al-Hakim mentioned. In fact
    he is Muhammad ibnil Hasam ibn Abi Yazid
    Al-Hamadani and he’s a known liar.
    After mentioning the verdict of Ibn Ma’een for
    Muhammad ibnil Hasam ibn Abi Yazid Al-Hamadani
    Imam Ath-Thahabbi himself mentioned this hadith
    in his biography.[1]
    Maybe people are calling Dua the weapon of the
    believer based on this fabricated narration
    ,and Allah knows best; however Fudayl ibn Iyyad
    said: Dua is the weapon of the believer.” [2]
    Therefore, perhaps the Muslims refer to the Dua
    being their weapon based on the wise words of
    this noble Imam. Nevertheless, it’s important
    to describe things the way Allah and His
    Prophet did, so we mustn’t say the Prophet said
    Dua is a weapon. And He [‫ ]ﷺ‬said:
    ( ‫اﻟﺪ ُّﻋ َﺎءُ ﻫُﻮَ اﻟْﻌِﺒَﺎدَةُ ) ﻗ َﺎلَ ر َﺑ ُّﻜ ُﻢُ ادْﻋ ُﻮﻧِﻰ‬
    َ
    ْ‫أ ﺳْﺘَﺠ ِﺐ ْ ﻟَﻜ ُﻢ‬

    Dua is worship. Your Lord said: call on Me and I’ll answer


    you.[3]

    Allah the Most High knows best and to Him I


    repent if I’ve said anything wrong.

    The Believer’s weapon in Dua
    and Thikr by Ibn Al-Imam
    745H Ibn Al-Jazri said: ” No
    book has ever been written
    on the subject like it”
