عن النعمان بن بَشِير رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت النبيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ: «{وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ} [غافر: 60]».
Imepokewa Kutoka kwa Nuuman bin Bashiri -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- amesema: Nilimsikia Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- akisema: "Dua ndio ibada", Kisha akasoma: "Na amesema Mola wenu Mlezi niombeni mimi nitakujibuni, hakika wale wanaofanya kiburi katika ibada yangu wataingia Jahannam wakiwa madhalili" [Ghafir: 60].
An-Nu‘mān ibn Bashīr (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Supplication is worship." Then, he recited: {Your Lord says: "Call upon Me; I will respond to you. Those who are too proud to worship Me will enter Hell, utterly debased."} [Surat Ghāfir: 60]
