Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the best supplication to make if the Night of Decree coincides with it? Likewise, the last hour of Friday and on the Day of 'Arafah. What is the reported supplication that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to make?

Answer:
Regarding the Night of Decree, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked him what she should say. He said: Say, "O Allah, You are the Pardoner, the Generous, You love to pardon, so pardon me." He used to make this supplication frequently and also supplicated with other things alongside it. As for Friday, no specific supplication was reported, but the Muslim strives to supplicate regarding matters of his religion and his worldly life. Likewise, regarding the hour on Friday, no specific supplication was reported for determining it. As for 'Arafah, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The best of supplication is the supplication of the Day of `Arafah. And the best of what I and the Prophets before me have said is: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, Alone, without partner, to Him belongs all that exists, and to Him belongs the Praise, and He isخير الدعاء دعاء عرفة، وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل
