"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لاَ تَعْجِزُوا عَن الدُّعَاءِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ أنْزَلَ عَلىَّ: {ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ} فَقَال رَجُل: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ! رَبُّنَا يَسْمَعُ الدُّعَاءَ؟ أمْ كَيْفَ ذَلكَ؟ فَأَنْزَل الله: {وَإِذَا سَأَلَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ} الآية".

"On the authority of 'Ali, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Do not be unable to supplicate, for Allah has revealed to me: {Call upon Me, I will respond to you}.' A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Does our Lord hear supplication, or how is that?' So Allah revealed: {And when My servants ask you about Me, indeed I am near}, the verse."
