Context

WE RELATE FROM the books of at-Tirmidhī and Ibn Mājah, from ‘Abdullāh ibn Abī ‘Awfā Honorific symbol, who reported that the Messenger of Allah Honorific symbol said: “Whoever has need of anything from Allah Honorific symbol or from any human being should do wuḍū’ as perfectly as possible. After that he should perform two rak‘ahs of ṣalāh. Next he should praise Allah Honorific symbol and invoke blessings upon the Prophet Honorific symbol. Then he should say: There is no god but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the Exalted Throne. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds. I ask You for that which evokes Your Mercy, for deeds which bring about Your forgiveness, for the benefit of complete piety, and for safety from all error. Do not leave me with any sin unforgiven, any worry not removed by You, or any need that is pleasing to You without fulfilling it, Most Merciful of those who show mercy.” [1].At-Tirmidhī stated that there is some controversy concerning the isnād.
