Sheikh ibn Baaz رحمه الله in his explanation to "Riyaadh
al-Saaliheen" said:
“The Sunnah before (beginning)
the dua is to praise Allaah as has been mentioned in ‘al-Tahiyyaat’*, then after that to send the prayer upon the Prophet
صلى الله عليه وسلم, then (he should make) the dua. And
this is how it should be done also when he is making the dua in Sujood
(prostration), or at any other time; he should praise Allaah, send prayers upon
the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and
then supplicates to his Lord for whatever he wishes, and this is the first step
for the dua being answered.”
Narrated Fudalah ibn Ubayd: The
Messenger of Allaah صلى الله عليه وسلم heard a person supplicating during prayer. He did not
mention the greatness of Allaah, nor did he invoke blessings on the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The Messenger of Allaah صلى
الله عليه وسلم said:
“He made haste.”
He then called him and said either to him or to any other
person: "When anyone of you makes dua, let him start by glorifying
his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم, then let him pray for whatever he wants."
[Abu Dawud
1481 & Tirmidhi 3477,
authenticated
by Shaikh al-Albaanee in Saheeh al-Jami` # 648]
*"Al-Tahiyyaat" is what is also known as
"al-Tashahhud", and the praise of Allaah is that which is mentioned
at the beginning of it:
التَّحِيّـاتُ للهِ وَالصَّلَـواتُ والطَّيِّـبات
(At-tahiyyaatu lillaahi, was-salawaatu wat-tayyibaatu)
"At-tahiyyat is for Allaah. All acts of worship and all goodness are for Him."
The Sheikh رحمه الله gave an example here, a person can also use other words of praises mentioned in the Book and the Sunnah.
