Chapter 29

What to say after the two sunnah rak‘āt of ṣubḥ

Remembrance 1
WE RELATE FROM the book of Ibn as-Sunnī that Abū al-Malīḥ, whose name was ‘Āmir ibn Usāmah, reported from his father [from his grandfather Usāmah ibn ‘Umayr] that he performed the two rak‘ahs of Fajr and the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol prayed two quick rak‘ahs near him. Then he heard him say thrice while sitting: “O Allah, Lord of Jibrīl, Isrāfīl, Mīkā’īl and Muḥammad the Prophet Honorific symbol, I seek refuge with You from Hell-Fire.” [1].
Arabic text from the source edition
Allāhumma Rabba Jibrīla wa Isrāfīla wa Mīkā’īla wa Muḥammadin in-Nabiyyi, ṣalla-llāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam, a‘ūdhu bika mina-n-nār.
Remembrance 2
We relate in it [the book of Ibn as-Sunnī] from Anas Honorific symbol that the Prophet Honorific symbol said: “Whoever says thrice on Friday morning before the early morning ṣalāh: I ask the forgiveness of Allah, besides Whom there is no other god, the Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I repent to Him, Allah will forgive his sins even if they be as abundant as the foam of the sea.” [2].
Arabic text from the source edition
Astaghfiru-llāha-lladhī lā ilāha illā Huwa-l-Ḥayyu-l-Qayyūmu wa atūbu ilayh.
