“The
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came out to us and said: ‘Whoever has some
need from Allah or from any of His creation, let him perform ablution
and pray two Rak’ah, then let him say: La ilaha
illallahul-Halimul-
Karim. Subhan-Allahi Rabbil-‘arshil-‘azim.
Al-hamdu Lillahi
Rabbil-‘Alamin. Allahumma inni as’aluka mujibat
rahmatika, wa ‘aza’ima
maghfiratika, wal-ghanimata min kulli
birrin, was-salamata min kulli
ithmnin. As’aluka alla tada’a li
dhanban illa ghafartahu, wa la hamman
illa farrajtahu, wa la hajah
hiya laka ridan illa qadaitaha li (None
has the right to be
worshipped but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most
Generous. Glory is to
Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. Praise is
to Allah, the Lord of
the worlds. O Allah, I ask You for the means of
Your mercy and
forgiveness, the benefit of every good deed and safety
from all sins.
I ask You not to leave any sin of mine but You forgive
it, or any
distress but You relieve it, or any need that is pleasing
to You but
You meet it). Then he should ask Allah for whatever he
wants in this
world and in the Hereafter, for it is decreed.”
Sunan Ibn Majah Book 5, Hadith 582
