حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ الزُّرَقِيِّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، قَالَ خَرَجْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا بِحَرَّةِ السُّقْيَا الَّتِي كَانَتْ لِسَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " ائْتُونِي بِوَضُوءٍ " . فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ ثُمَّ قَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ عَبْدَكَ وَخَلِيلَكَ وَدَعَا لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ أَدْعُوكَ لأَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لَهُمْ فِي مُدِّهِمْ وَصَاعِهِمْ مِثْلَىْ مَا بَارَكْتَ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مَعَ الْبَرَكَةِ بَرَكَتَيْنِ " . هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ . وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ وَعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ .
'Ali bin Abi Talib Narrated from:
We Departed With The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Until He Was At Harrah As-Suqya Which Belonged To Sa'D Bin Abi Waqqas. So The Messenger Of Allah (ﷺ) Said: 'Bring Me Water For Wudu.' So He Performed Wudu, Then He Faced The Qiblah And Said: 'O Allah! Indeed Ibrahim Was Your Servant And Your Khalil, And He Supplicated For Blessings For The People Of Makkah. And I Am Your Servant And Messenger, And I Supplicate For The People Of Al-Madinah; That You Bless Them In Their Mudd And Their Sa' Like You Blessed The People Of Makkah, For Each Blessing Let There Be Two Blessings.

Summary of Jami at-Tirmidhi Hadith 3914
This hadith about Al-Madinah shows the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم making dua after performing wudu and facing the qiblah. He mentioned that Ibrahim was Allah’s servant and khalil and that Ibrahim supplicated for blessings for the people of Makkah. Then the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم described himself as Allah’s servant and Messenger and asked Allah to bless the people of Al-Madinah in their mudd and sa‘. The wording asks for blessing like the blessing given to the people of Makkah, and even mentions two blessings for each blessing. The hadith is mainly about dua, blessing, and the honored place of Al-Madinah. It should be understood from its own wording without adding extra details.

- He asked for blessing in their mudd and sa‘.
