Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner asks in his question: Is there a prayer for relieving distress, consisting of two rak'ahs, after which a person supplicates with the du'a: "O Allah, O Reliever of distress, O Remover of sorrow, answer my supplication," or "answer the supplication of the distressed when they call upon You"?
Answer:
I am not aware of anything specific in this regard, a specific prayer. But as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said: [al-Baqarah:45] So if he seeks help through prayer, prays, and asks his Lord in his prostration, and in his sitting for the taslim after the tashahhud; then this is good, and is among the causes of good.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) commanded seeking help through patience and prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to, when a matter distressed him, turn to prayer. So if a person prays two rak'ahs, whether the Dhuha prayer or at night, and supplicates to his Lord in his prostration, and before the taslim, when he has finished the tashahhud, or after the prayer; he raises his hands and supplicates, all of this is among the causes of good, and among the causes of success. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
