It has been established that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, when supplicating for others, would begin with himself. In Sunan al-Tirmidhi, on the authority of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, from Ubayy ibn Ka’b: “When the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned someone and supplicated for them, he would begin with himself.” In a narration by Abu Dawud: “The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, when he supplicated, would begin with himself, and he said: ‘May Allah’s mercy be upon us and upon Musa (Moses).’”
