Anas bin Malik Narrated from:
The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "Whoever Asks Allah (S.W.T) Paradise Three Times, Paradise Says: 'O Allah, Admit Him Into Paradise', And Whoever Seeks Refuge From The Fire Three Times, The Fire Says: 'O Allah, Save Him From The Fire.'" Other Chains Report Similar Narrations.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 2572
This Hadith about asking Allah for Paradise three times teaches a simple form of dua. The Prophet says that whoever asks Allah for Paradise three times, Paradise says: O Allah, admit him into Paradise. Whoever seeks refuge from the Fire three times, the Fire says: O Allah, save him from the Fire. The Hadith does not give the exact Arabic wording in this translation, but the meaning is clear: believers should ask Allah for Jannah and seek protection from Hellfire. It is a reminder that Paradise and Fire are real, and that the servant should keep turning to Allah with hope and fear.
What we learn from this hadith
- Asking Allah for Paradise is encouraged in this narration.
- Seeking refuge from the Fire is also encouraged.
- The Hadith mentions saying each request three times.
- The text joins hope for mercy with fear of punishment.
