Hadith on Dua: Etiquette of order for supplications

Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: I prayed with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, while Abu Bakr and Umar were with him. When I sat down, I began by praising Allah, then sending blessings upon the Prophet, then supplicating for myself. The Prophet said, “Ask and you will be given. Ask and you will be given.”

عَنْ ‌عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ كُنْتُ أُصَلِّي وَالنَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا جَلَسْتُ بَدَأْتُ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللهِ ثُمَّ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ثُمَّ دَعَوْتُ لِنَفْسِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ سَلْ تُعْطَهْ
