CRITICAL DISCLAIMER
1.
This document has been prepared specifically for use during the single weekend seminar
entitled ‘Accepted Supplication’ being offered by Bayyinah institute.
2.
This document has little to no value as a self study resource. It serves merely as an outline
for discussions that will take place during the course of the seminar.
3.
Where deemed helpful, two kinds of English commentary have been offered:
a.
b.
Brief comments that will be elaborated in class
Translations cited from the English translation of Hisnul Muslim.
4.
We at Bayyinah do not endorse any particular translation of sacred texts. The very point of
this seminar is to illustrate what is lost in translation. The above translation has only been
cited for convenient reference and comparison.
5.
Attendees should print this document and bring it with them no later than the 2nd day of
the seminar (Saturday) in order to maximize their benefit from the seminar.
6.
We advise attendees to bring along a notebook just in case they are interested in taking indepth notes. Please be advised that the content of this seminar is geared more towards
enrichment and general awareness than it is towards academic discourse, yet a wealth of
information will be presented.
7.
Please do not be intimidated by the colossal citations of Arabic in this document. They are
simply there to assist the instructor in the discussion process. You should be able to benefit
from this program even if you don’t read or understand Arabic.
8.
This document outlines the full extent of the discussions planned for the Accepted
Supplication seminar. It will be the instructor’s sincere best effort to cover all of the
material without rushing through it. The instructor therefore may skip portions of the
material due to shortage of time.
9.
Bayyinah does not endorse a particular school of jurisprudence in its educational
curriculum. The content of this course focuses on the language of daily supplications only.
10. If you are planning on attending this seminar but haven’t yet signed up, please do so at

Introduction
Du’a Sampler: Most Superior Way of Asking for Forgiveness
Shaddad ibn Aws (radiAllahu anhu) relates that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said that he (Sayyid al-Istighfar) most
superior way of asking for forgiveness from Allah is to say (the above du’a). That “If somebody recites it during the day with
firm faith in it, and dies on the same day before the evening, he will be from the people of Paradise; and if somebody recites
it at night with firm faith in it, and dies before the morning, he will be from the people of Paradise.”

‘When retiring to his bed every night, the Prophet r would hold his palms together, spit (A form of spitting
comprising mainly of air with little spittle) in them, recite the last three chapters (Al-Ikhlas, Al-Falaq, An-Nas) of
the Quran and then wipe over his entire body as much as possible with his hands, beginning with his head and
face and then all parts of the body, he would do this three times.’

The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: ‘When you are about to sleep recite ayat-al-kursee (The verse of the foot-stool,
chapter 2:255) till the end of the verse for there will remain over you a protection from Allah and no devil will
draw near to you until morning.’

The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: ‘Whoever recites the last two verses of Soorat Al-Baqarah at night, those two
verses shall be sufficient for him (i.e. protect him from all that can cause him harm).’

Dreaming
‘The righteous dream is from Allah and the bad dream is from the devil, so if anyone sees something which
pleases him then he should only relate it to one whom he loves…’
Summary of what to do upon having a bad dream:
 Spit on your left three times
 Spit: A form of spitting comprising mainly of air with little spittle
 Seek refuge in Allah from shaytan and the evil of what you saw
 Do not relate it to anyone
 Turn and sleep on the opposite side to which you were sleeping on previously.
 Get up and pray if you so desire.

For Concluding All Sittings
Ayesha ‫ رضي اا عهنا‬said: Whenever The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) would betake a seat, read Quran or pray, he would
always conclude it with certain words, I (i.e. Ayesha) said: O Messenger of Allah (pbuh), I have noticed that whenever you
betake a seat, read Quran or pray, you always conclude it with these words. He said: Yes, whoever speaks good, it (i.e. the
supplication) will be a seal for that goodness and whoever speaks ill, it will be an atonement for him.’

Returning a Supplication for Forgiveness
Abdullah Ibn Sarjis (ra) said: ‘I went to see the Prophet (pbuh) and ate from his food and then said to him:
.‫سػوؿ اا‬
‫ك يا ر‬
‫غفػر اا ل‬
‫ى‬
‫ى ى ى يى ى ى‬
Ghafaral-lahu laka ya rasoolal-lah.
‘May Allah forgive you, O Messenger of Allah.’
…he (s.a.w.) replied:
.‫ك‬
‫ىكلى ى‬
wa-lak
‘and you.’
Said to One Who Does You a Favor
‘If someone does you a favour and you say:
ٍ
.‫خػريا ن‬

‫زاؾ اا ي ى‬
‫ى‬
Jazakal-lahu khayran.
‘May Allah reward you with goodness.’
‫خريا‬
‫اا‬
‫جزاؾ‬
…then you have indeed excelled in praising him.’
Returning a supplication after having given someone a gift or charity
Ayesha ‫ رضي هللا عنها‬reported that the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) was given a sheep and he ordered for it’s distribution.
When the servant would come back (from distributing it), Ayesha would ask: ‘What did they say?’, he replied: They would
supplicate:
.‫فيك ٍم‬
‫بارؾ اا‬
‫ي‬
‫ى ى ي‬
Barakal-lahu feekum.
‘May Allah bless you all.’
20
‫فيكم‬
‫اا‬
…Ayesha would then say:
‫بارؾ‬
ٍ ‫كفهي‬
.‫ػم بار ىؾ اا‬
ً ‫ى‬
‫ى‬
Wafeehim barakal-lah.
‘and may Allah bless them.’
‫اا‬
‫بارؾ‬

…we return their supplication in a similar way and our reward remains with us.
When Sneezing
‘When one of you sneezes he should say:

‫ى‬
Alhamdu lillah.
‘All praise if for Allah.’
‫ا‬

…and his brother or companion should say to him:

ٍ
.‫ػك اا‬
‫ىير ىْح ي ى‬
‘May Allah have mercy upon you.’
‫اا‬
‫يرْحك‬
…and he (i.e. the one who sneezed) replies back to him:

‘May Allah guide you and rectify your condition.’

Successor over the family, O Allah, I take refuge with You from the difficulties of travel, from having a change of hearts
and being in a bad predicament, and I take refuge in You from an ill fated outcome with wealth and family.’
