also known as Surah Bani Israel [The Children of
Israel]
Hazrat Abud-Darda
(May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "Seek among your weak ones, for you are given provision and
help only because of the weak amongst you.''
[Abu Dawud Hadith #
2594].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Al-Isra Ayat 30."Truly, your Lord
enlarges the provision for whom He wills" This Hadith mentions the reason for the acceptance of the invocations of
the weak and poor. Since their hearts are free from the worldly vices and are
gifted with greater sincerity and fear of Allah, their prayers are more
acceptable to Him. This point has been mentioned more explicitly in Nasa'i which
says: "Almighty Allah helps the Ummah because of the prayers, worship and
devotion of its weak people". (Aun-ul-Ma`bud, Vol. No. 2, chapter Al-Jihad). The
words which occur in most of the manuscripts of Riyad-us-Saliheen are (Abghow fi
ad-duafa') and the translation quoted here follows these words. But in the
manuscripts of Abu Dawud, the word (fi) does not figure in the text. In one
manuscript, however, we find the words (Abghow fi ad-duafa') which means "For me
search Muslims who are weak so that I find reason to support you with their
prayers".
