Abu Tamim Hujaymi narrates from a man of his tribe that he once came to meet Prophet (peace be upon him). It could have been such that Abu Tamim was present there when the man came to Prophet (peace be upon him). The man said, Are you the Messenger of Allah? Yes, replied Prophet (peace be upon him). Whom do you pray to? he asked. The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, I pray to the One Allah Who is Most Honored and Most High. He is the One Who removes your difficulty when you call to Him. It is He Who causes your crops to grow when you call to Him to remove your drought. It is He Who responds to your prayer when you call Him at the time when you are lost in a rocky land without transport. The man accepted Islam immediately and then asked for advice. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, Do not abuse anything. When relating this to people, the man said that since Prophet (peace be upon him) gave him this piece of advice, he has not even abused a goat. - Musnad Ahmad, nos. 22694,22599, 22121,16272,16616,16667, 16180 classed as saheeh by Shuaib Arnaut; Quoted by Nur al-Din Ali ibn Abi Bakr ibn Sulayman Abu al-Hasan al-Haythami in Majma al-Zawaid wa Manba al-Fawaid, no. 13003 and Ghayah al-Maqsad fi Zawaid al-Musnad 2/491 library.islamweb.net/newlibrary/display_book.php?idfrom=16021&idto=16021&bk_no=6&ID=391
