Invocations of the terminal ill

((جَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ يُدْخِلُ يَدَيْهِ فِي الْمَاءِ فَيَمْسَحُ بِهِمَا وَجْهَهُ، وَيَقُولُ: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ إِنَّ لِلْمَوْتِ سَكَرَاتٍ)).

'Aa.ishah (radhi-yAllaahu 'anhaa) related that The Prophet (sal-Allaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) [during his illness in which he passed away] would dip his hands in water and then he would wipe his face and say:[La ilaha illal-lah, inna lilmawti lasakarat.] ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah, death does indeed contain agony.’

لَمَّا دَنَا النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الصَّفَا قَرَأَ: ﴿إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِنْ شَعَآئِرِ اللَّهِ﴾ أَبْدَأُ بِمَا بَدَأَ اللَّهُ بِهِ)) فَبَدَأَ بِالصَّفَا فَرَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى رَأَى الْبَيْتَ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ، فَوَحَّدَ اللَّهَ وَكبَّرَهُ وَقَالَ: ((لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ، أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ، وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ، وَهَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ، ثُمَّ دَعَا بَيْنَ ذلكَ. قَالَ مِثْلَ هَذَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ)) الْحَدِيثُ. وَفِيهِ: ((فَفَعَلَ عَلَى الْمَرْوَةِ كَمَا فَعَلَ عَلَى الصَّفَا)).

(Jabir said when describing the Prophet’s pilgrimage: ‘…and when he approached mount Safa he recited: ( Innas-safa wa-almarwata min shaAAa-iri Allah ….) (Abda-o bima badaal-lahu bih.) so he started with Safa and climed it until he could see the KaAAbah, he then faced it and said: (Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar.) and then he would say the following three times making a supplication (one should make a personal supplication) after each time: (La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeer, la ilaha illal-lahu wahdah, anjaza waAAdah, wanasara AAabdah, wahazamal -ahzaba wahdah.)(he would repeat this action at Marwah.)

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم: ((خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ، وَخَيْرُ مَا قُلْتُ أَنَا وَالنَّبيُّونَ مِنْ قَبْلِي: لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ)).

(The best of supplications is the supplication on the day of AAarafah and the best which I and the Prophets before me have said (is): (La ilaha illal-lahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamd, wahuwa AAala kulli shayin qadeer.))

Supplication to be recited at the sacred area of Muzdalifah

رَكِبَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم الْقَصْوَاءَ حَتَّى أَتَى الْمَشْعَرَ الْحَرَامَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ (فَدَعَاهُ، وَكَبَّرَهُ، وَهَللَّهُ، وَوَحَّدَهُ) فَلَمْ يَزَلْ وَاقِفاً حَتَّى أَسْفَرَ جِدَّاً فَدَفَعَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمسُ.

The Prophet rode his camel, Al-Qaswa, until he reached the sacred area (Al-Mash aril Haraam). Then he faced the Qiblah and invoked Allah, and repeatedly said the words: Allaahu Akbar (Allah is the Most Great), Allaahu Ahad (Allah is One) and Laa ilaaha illallaah (There is none worthy of worship but Allah). He remained stationary until the sky became yellow with the dawn, and then pressed on before sunrise.

دعاء الوقوف على الصفا والمروة

فلما دنا صلى الله عليه وسلم من الصفا قرأ: { إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَآئِرِ اللّهِ } أبدأ بما بدأ الله به فبدأ بالصفا فرقي عليه حتى رأى البيت فاستقبل القبلة ، فوحد الله وكبره وقال : لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك لهُ ، لهُ الملك ولهُ الحمد وهو على كل شيءٍ قدير ، لا إله إلا الله وحده ، أنجز وعده ، ونصر عبده ، وهزم الأحزاب وحده ثم دعا بين ذلك . قال مثل هذا ثلاث مرات الحديث وفيه ففعل على المروة كما فعل على الصفا

الدعاء يوم عرفة

خير الدعاء دعاء يوم عرفة ، وخيرُ ما قلت أنا والنبيُّون من قبلي : لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ لا شريك لهُ ، لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحمدُ وهو على كل شيء قدير
