Nothing is more honorable to Allah than supplication.
“Nothing is more honorable to Allah than supplication.”
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out that no act of worship is more virtuous in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication. This is because supplication comprises recognition of Allah's self-sufficiency and the servant's helplessness and need of his Lord.
The plain meaning, from HadeethEnc
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَكْرَمَ عَلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ».
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Nothing is more honorable in the sight of Allah Almighty than supplication."
What does Sunan al-Tirmidhi 3370 mean?
Narrated by Abu Hurayrah, recorded by al-Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah and Ahmad, and graded hasan. The reason the scholars give for the ranking is worth knowing: supplication is honoured because of what it admits. It puts the servant’s helplessness and Allah’s self-sufficiency into the same sentence, which is what worship is for.
