Which is more correct: "O Allah, grant me its immediate and deferred [benefit]" or "O Allah, grant it to me immediately, not deferred"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

When asking Allah Almighty for something specific, it is valid to say: "O Allah, grant me its immediate and delayed benefits," and it is also valid to say: "O Allah, grant me it immediately, not delayed." Both are correct, and this is supported by authentic prophetic supplications such as: "O Allah, I ask You for all good, immediate and delayed, that which I know and that which I do not know," and "O Allah, grant us abundant, wholesome, fertile, beneficial, non-harmful rain, immediately, not delayed."
