Acceptance of prayers

عَنْ سَلْمَانَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

‏ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِىٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحْيِى مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا

Hazrat Salman al-Farisi^ra relates that Allah’s Messenger^sa said:

“Verily, your Lord is Modest and Munificent. He is ashamed to turn down His servant empty handed when he raises his hands to Him (in supplication).”

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Kitab al-Witr, Hadith 1488)
