3. Witr (Night Prayer)
٣۔ أَبْوَابُ الْوِتْرِ
Dua for fulfilling a need
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever has a need from Allah or from one of the children of Adam, let him perform wudu and perform the wudu well, then let him pray two rakahs, then let him praise Allah and send prayers upon the Prophet ﷺ, then let him say:
lā ilāha illā allāh al-ḥalīm al-karīm, subḥān allāhi rabbi al-ʿarshi al-ʿaẓīm, al-ḥamdu li-llāhi rabbi al-ʿālamīn. asʾaluka mūjibāti raḥmatik, wa-ʿazāʾima maghfiratik, wa-al-ghanīmata min kulli birr, wa-al-salāmata min kulli ithm. lā tadaʿ lī dhanban illā ghafartah, wa-lā hamman illā farrajtah, wa-lā ḥājatan hiya laka riḍan illā qaḍaytahā, yā arḥama al-rāḥimīn
(There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Magnificent Throne. Praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds. I ask You for the means that bring Your mercy, the firm resolve that brings Your forgiveness, the gain of every act of righteousness, and safety from every sin. Do not leave any sin of mine except that You forgive it, nor any worry except that You relieve it, nor any need that is pleasing to You except that You fulfill it, O Most Merciful of the merciful.)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَاجَةٌ أَوْ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ، فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَلْيُحْسِنِ الْوُضُوءَ، ثُمَّ لْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ لْيُثْنِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَلْيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، ثُمَّ لْيَقُلْ:
لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ، أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَعَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ، وَالْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ، وَالسَّلاَمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ، لاَ تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْبًا إِلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ، وَلاَ هَمًّا إِلاَّ فَرَّجْتَهُ، وَلاَ حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضًا إِلاَّ قَضَيْتَهَا، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ»
