The ruling on a narrated supplication by a woman at every obligatory time
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah preserve you, 'Abd al-Aziz ibn Baz, peace be upon you and Allah's mercy and blessings. I memorized these words from an elderly woman who says this. For every obligatory prayer, I placed my right foot on the upper step and raised my finger, saying: "O Light of Lights, O Knower of what is in the breasts, O Inhabitant of the graves, comfort my loneliness in my grave. Make me among the righteous with whom You are pleased. Protect me from a day whose length is seven years, upon the fornicator and the fornicators, upon the one who covers the shrouds, upon the one who denies a hand-span of clay. A fire whose bottom is far away, whose fuel is iron, which destroys the world while it does not destroy."
The Shaykh:
She answers like her, meaning, a question of courage from whom? Which courage from whom? It does not extend to her.
The questioner:
Allah.
The Shaykh:
He forgets his Lord, Paradise, and seeks refuge in Him from the Fire, so this courage has no basis.
