Dua Text

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْسَى مَنْ ذَكَرَهُ، وَلَا يُخَيِّبُ مَنْ دَعَاهُ، وَلَا يَقْطَعُ رَجَاءَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ

Transliteration

Alhamdu lillahilladhi la yansa man dhakarah, wa la yukhayyibu man da’ah, wa la yaqta’u raja’a man rajah.

Meaning

All praise is due to Allah, who does not forget the one who remembers Him, who does not turn away empty-handed the one who calls upon Him, and who does not cut off the hope of the one who places hope in Him.

What Is Asked in This Dua

This dua, narrated from Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), is not a request but a sentence of praise. The servant thanks Allah and explains it with three attributes. First: Allah does not forget the servant who remembers Him. Even a moment of the servant’s remembrance is not lost with Him. Second: Allah does not turn away empty-handed the one who calls upon Him. A hand raised in dua will surely find a response.

Third: Allah does not cut off the hope of the one who places hope in Him. This sentence carries a strong consolation for a person who has fallen into despair. As stated in the description, the dua expresses trust that Allah will not forget His servant. Here the servant is in fact making an indirect request: remember me, do not turn me away empty-handed, do not cut off my hope. But instead of asking for it, they say it by praising Allah, because they already believe that Allah is like this.
