Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2713c
This Hadith reports that Fatima, the daughter of the Prophet, came to Allah's Messenger and asked for a servant. He directed her to say a supplication beginning with, O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens, and the rest of the report is the same as the earlier dua. The text connects a personal need with turning to Allah through words of praise, refuge, and request. It does not expand on details beyond that. The simple teaching is that even when someone has a real need, the Prophet guided her toward supplication. For people searching for Fatima dua or dua for need, this narration shows a direct link between asking, remembering Allah, and seeking relief from Him.
What we learn from this hadith
- Bring personal needs before Allah through dua.
- The Prophet directed Fatima to words of supplication.
- Begin the request by praising Allah's lordship.
- Needs can be met with faith and humble asking.
