Title
Is it permisable to make taht particular dua
Question
Is it permisable to make taht particular dua mentioned in Ask-Imam.com > Science of Evidence (Usoo ul-Fiqh) > Question 10913 from Pakistan (Tawassul and Waseelah ) also mentioned in Fazil Haj:
Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] narrates that once a blind person came to Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] and said, ?Oh Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]! Ask Allah to cure me.? Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] replied, ?If you wish I will make Du?aa or else you may be patient and this is better for you.? The man said, ?Make Du?aa instead?, Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] then commanded him to make Wudhu properly and that he recites the following Du?aa, ?Oh Allah, verily, I ask of you and I turn to you through your prophet, the prophet of mercy, O Muhammad [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam], verily, I have turned to my Lord through you so that my need be fulfilled. Oh Allah, accept his intercession on my behalf.? (Musnad Ahmad vol.4 pg.138; Sunan Tirmidhi; Sunan ibn Majah; Mustadrak Haakim and others). Imaams Tirmidhi, ibn Khuzaymah and Haakim have classified this Hadith as authentic. The words, ?I turn to you through your prophet? clearly proves Tawassul through the position of a person. Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam] also told him that he should make the same supplication whenever he needed to. (al-Raddul Muhkamul Mateen pg.145)
2. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] taught this du?aa to someone after the demise of Rasulullah [sallallaahu alayhi wasallam]. That person?s need was also fulfilled.
Abu Umaamah ibn Sahl ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] reports that a person requested Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallaahu anhu] to fulfil his need. Sayyiduna Uthmaan [radhiallaahu anhu] did not attend to him. The person complained to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] about his plight. Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Hunayf [radhiallaahu anhu] told him to make Wudhu, go to the Musjid, offer 2 Rakaats of Salaat and recite the following Du?aa: ?O Allah, verily I ask you and I turn to you through our prophet, the prophet of mercy (Rasulullah ? sallallaahu alayhi wasallam). O Muhammad! Verily, I have turned to our Lord through you so that He may fulfil my need.?
The person then went to Sayyiduna Uthmaan ibn Affaan [radhiallahu anhu] who then [radhiallaahu anhu] immediately fulfilled his need and told him to return whenever he had any need in the future. (al-Mu?jamus sagheer vol.1 pg.184; al-Mu?jamul Kabeer vol.9 pg.17; Dalaailun-nubuwwah of Imaam Bayhaqi vol.6 pg.167-168)
