Beginning with praise of Allah and blessings on the Prophet

A man began supplicating without first praising Allah. The Prophet (SAW) said, "He has hastened," then taught: "When one of you prays, let him begin by praising and glorifying his Lord, then send blessings on the Prophet, and then supplicate for whatever he wishes."

Reference: Sunan Abi Dawud and Jami' al-Tirmidhi, graded Hasan, on the authority of Fadalah ibn Ubayd (RA)
