Ways of The Prophet (S.A.W)
by Sheikh Muhammad Abdul Hai ArifiTHE DU’A FOLLOWING THE AAZAN
Hadrat Jabir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated ALLAAH’s messsenger as saying: if anyone says when he hears the summons for Salaah.
“O ALLAAH, Lord of this perfect call and of the prayer which is established for all time, grant Muhammad the WASILA and excellency and raise him up in a praise-worthy position which Thou hast promised,” verily Thou does not resile from thine promise, he will be assured of my intercession. [Bukhari]
Note: According to a tradition in Sahih Muslim WASILA is a rank in paradise befitting for only one of ALLAAH’s servants.
He also said: Pray to ALLAAH for prosperity in this life and in the hearafter:
“O ALLAAH! I ask Thee for Thy pleasure and pardon and for comfort in this world and in the hereafter and in my family and in my belongings.
Hadrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Prophet said: The sins of you who says after hearing the Aazan:
“I testify that there is no God but ALLAAH alone who has no partner and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger; I am satisfied with ALLAAH as lord, with Muhammad as messenger, and with ISLAM as religion,” his sins will be forgiven him. [Muslim]
