Hadith on Dua: Do not pray against yourself or your family

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Do not supplicate against yourselves, do not supplicate against your children, and do not supplicate against your property, lest it coincides with an hour in which Allah is asked for something and He answers you.

عَنْ جَابِرِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ وَلَا تَدعُوا عَلَى أوْلادِكُمْ وَلَا تَدْعُوا عَلَى أموَالِكُمْ لا تُوافِقُوا مِنَ اللهِ سَاعَةً يُسألُ فِيهَا عَطَاءً فَيَسْتَجِيبَ لَكُمْ
