Help of Allaah comes with Dua’
Taken from
Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah
By the
Muhaddith, Shaykh, Allamaa’
Muhammad Nasir uddeen al-Albaani

Shafqat Hussain & Abbas Abu Yahya
From Musab bin Saad from his father, he thought that he had an excellence above other than himself from the Companions of the Prophet -sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam- so the Prophet -sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
إنما ينصر الله هذه الأمة بضعيفها: بدعوتهم وصلاتهم وإخلاصهم
‘Indeed Allaah will only aid this Ummah through its weak, by their supplication, their prayer and their sincerity.’
Collected by Nisa’ee, Albaani said: ‘This isnad is authentic upon the conditions of Bukhari & Muslim. Bukhari collected it from another chain from Musab from his father without the aforementioned details.’
Shaykh Albaani commented on this hadeeth saying:
‘Know that the explanation of the word ‘aid/victory’ which is mentioned in the hadeeth has been stated, and that it is not aid or victory by the righteous ones physically themselves, but rather it is by their Dua’ and their sincerity.’
Then the Shaykh mentions the hadeeth.
