Discussion on the context of this dhikr (O Allah, place light in my heart . . .)
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner: That he went out for the Fajr prayer.
The Shaykh: I do not say, meaning as I understand from your question, I say its context is in the Fajr prayer, but from the jurisprudential perspective, is there room for using it other than in the Fajr prayer? This is a matter in which I have no opinion. As for what is permissible to attribute to me, it is that it came in the authentic collection of Muslim that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), when he went out for the Fajr prayer, would supplicate with this supplication. I have no answer beyond this, which is: O Allah, place...
The questioner: O Allah, place light in my heart.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: This came in the night prayer. I ... saw it in.
The Shaykh: In the night prayer, or in his going out?
The student: No, in the night prayer. My Shaykh, today I saw it in the authentic collection.
The Shaykh: In the authentic collection.
Another student : ... the prayer of travelers, the chapter on standing in night prayer.
The Shaykh: Okay, but.
The student: Ibn 'Abbas. The hadith of Ibn 'Abbas. He went for the Fajr prayer.
The Shaykh: No problem, but is there not a hadith in the Fajr prayer?
The student: He said it is the same hadith in Fajr, the same hadith. He said: "Then he went to Fajr and supplicated with the supplication."
The Shaykh: Which supplication?
The student: The one that is.
The Shaykh: The one that is this.
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh: All right.
The student: And after standing in night prayer, he went to Fajr and supplicated with this supplication.
The Shaykh: ... it occupied my mind.
