The Prescribed Supplications for the Muslim in Prayer
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the supplication that you advise me to persist with in every prayer?
Answer: Supplications are prescribed for the believer; supplications for good are prescribed for the believer in prayer and outside of it. However, in prayer, we advise you to adhere to the supplications that came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Between the two prostrations, you say:. Between the two prostrations, repeat the supplication for forgiveness: Sunan Ibn Majah 897Sahih (Darussalam), Sahih Muslim 2697a. And in prostration, you should increase in supplication. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to say in his prostration: Sahih Muslim 483, and he would say: Sahih al-Bukhari 4293. If you supplicate with anything else, such as asking for Paradise, seeking refuge in Allah from the Fire, asking Allah for the rectification of your heart, your deeds, a righteous wife, and righteous offspring, all of this is good. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 875Sahih (Al-Albani). It is recommended to increase in supplication in prostration, both from what is prescribed and transmitted, and from other good supplications. This includes asking for lawful sustenance, a righteous wife, and good offspring. It also includes your supplication for your parents for forgiveness and mercy, if they are Muslims. It includes your supplication for the one in authority for success, guidance, and rectification, and for all those in authority for success and guidance. It also includes asking for well-being in your body and your religion, and other good supplications. And so, at the end of the prayer, before the closing salam, after the testimonies and after the blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), you seek refuge in Allah from the punishment of the Hellfire, from the punishment of the grave, from the trial of life and death, and from the trial of the Dajjal. You ask Allah for whatever good supplications you wish.
When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Companions the testimonies—in the tashahhud—he said to them:Bulugh al-Maram 2:203. Among the best supplications at the end of the prayer is that you say: Sunan Abi Dawud 1522Sahih (Al-Albani), as the Prophet advised this to Mu'adh (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). And you also say: Sahih al-Bukhari 6326. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised this to Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. And so: Sunan Abi Dawud 1509Sahih (Al-Albani). It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he taught this to Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and that Ali narrated it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 1509Sahih (Al-Albani). Muslim narrated it in his Sahih from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). And so: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5445Sahih (Darussalam). Al-Bukhari narrated this in his Sahih from Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) , from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that he used to supplicate with this at the end of his prayer.
And every good supplication that contains no sin and no severing of ties is good. Every good supplication that you need, supplicate with it, even if it was not transmitted. For example, you may say: O Allah, rectify my offspring. O Allah, forgive me and my parents. O Allah, rectify my wife. O Allah, make easy for me a lawful and good sustenance. O Allah, guide those in authority to all that is good. O Allah, rectify their inner circle. And so on with these good supplications. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer: Supplications are prescribed for the believer; supplications for good are prescribed for the believer in prayer and outside of it. However, in prayer, we advise you to adhere to the supplications that came from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Between the two prostrations, you say:
My Lord, forgive me. O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, heal me, provide for me, and grant me well-being.
رب اغفر لي اللهم اغفر لي وارحمني واهدني واجبرني وارزقني وعافنيRabbighfir li, Rabbighfir li (O Lord forgive me, O Lord forgive me)
رب اغفر لي رب اغفر ليO Allah, grant me pardon, have mercy upon me, direct me to the path of righteousness and provide me sustenance.
اللهم اغفر لي وارحمني واهدني واجبرني وارزقني وعافنيO Lord, forgive me all my sins, small and great, first and last, open and secret.
اللهم اغفر لي ذنبي كله، دقه وجله، وأوله وآخره، وعلانيته وسرهSubhanaka Allahumma Rabbanã wa bihamdika, Allãhumma ighfirli
سبحانك اللهم ربنا وبحمدك اللهم اغفر ليThe nearest a servant come to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself, so make supplication often.
أقرب ما يكون العبد من ربه وهو ساجد فأكثروا الدعاءWhen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught his Companions the testimonies—in the tashahhud—he said to them:
Then he may choose any supplication which pleases him most and recite it.
ثم ليتخير من الدعاء أعجبه إليه فيدعوO Allah, help me in remembering You, in giving You thanks, and worshipping You well.
اللهم أعني على ذكرك وشكرك وحسن عبادتكAllahumma inni zalamtu nafsi zulman kathiran wala yaghfirudhdhunuba illa anta, Faghfirli maghfiratan min indika war-hamni, innaka antalGhafur-Rahim.
اللهم إني ظلمت نفسي ظلماً كثيراً ولا يغفر الذنوب إلا أنت، فاغفر لي مغفرة من عندك وارحمني إنك أنت الغفور الرحيم"O Allah, forgive me my former and latter sins, what I have kept secret and what I have done openly, and what I have done extravagance; and what You know better than I do. You are the Advancer, the Delayer, there is no god but You."
اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت وما أخرت، وما أسررت وما أعلنت، وما أسرفت وما أنت أعلم به مني، أنت المقدم وأنت المؤخر لا إله إلا أنت"O Allah, forgive me my former and latter sins, what I have kept secret and what I have done openly, and what I have done extravagance; and what You know better than I do. You are the Advancer, the Delayer, there is no god but You."
اللهم اغفر لي ما قدمت وما أخرت وما أسررت وما أعلنت وما أسرفت وما أنت أعلم به مني، أنت المقدم وأنت المؤخر لا إله إلا أنتAllahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-bukhli, wa a'udhu bika minal-jubni, wa a'udhu bika an uradda ila ardhalil-'umuri, wa a'udhu bika min fitnatid-dunya, wa a'udhu bika min 'adhabil-qabr (O Allah, I seek refuge in You from miserliness, and I seek refuge in You from cowardice, and I seek refuge in You from reaching the age of senility, and I seek refuge in You from the trials of this world, and I seek refuge in You from the torment of the grave)
اللهم إني أعوذ بك من البخل، وأعوذ بك من الجبن، وأعوذ بك أن أرد إلى أرذل العمر، وأعوذ بك من فتنة الدنيا ومن عذاب القبرAnd every good supplication that contains no sin and no severing of ties is good. Every good supplication that you need, supplicate with it, even if it was not transmitted. For example, you may say: O Allah, rectify my offspring. O Allah, forgive me and my parents. O Allah, rectify my wife. O Allah, make easy for me a lawful and good sustenance. O Allah, guide those in authority to all that is good. O Allah, rectify their inner circle. And so on with these good supplications. May Allah guide them all. Yes.
The presenter: O Allah, amen. May Allah reward you with good.
