Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Sunan An-Nabi Chapter 21: Supplication (Du’a) and its Adab From al-Qutb in al-Da’awat: From the Holy Prophet (S) who said: Jibra’il instructed me to recite the Qur’an while standing, and to glorify Allah while in the state of ruku’ , and to praise Him while in sajdah and to supplicate to him while sitting.[^1] From Ahmad ibn al-Fahd in ‘Uddat al-Da’i: The Holy Prophet (S) would raise his hands when he invoked and supplicated (to Allah) just as a beggar does when seeking food.[^2] Note: This has (also) been narrated by Shaykh Tusi in al-Majalis and al-Akhbar from Muhammad and Zayd - the two sons of ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn (as), from their father from al-Husayn (as).[^3] His Du’a when he looked in the mirror In al-Ja’fariyat: In his narration from Ja’far ibn Muhammad from his fathers from ‘Ali (as) that whenever the Noble Prophet (S) looked in the mirror, he said: أَلْحَمْدُ لِلٌّهِ الَّذِي أَكْمَلَ خَلْقِي، وَأَحْسَنَ صُورَتِي، وَزَانَ مِنِّي مَاشَانَ مِنْ غَيْرِي، وَهَدَانِي لِلإِسْلاَمِ، وَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالنُّـبُوَّةِ.

“Praise be to Allah who created me perfectly, and made handsome my face, and made graceful from me what he made disgraceful from others, and guided me to Islam, and blessed me with prophethood.” [^4] From al-Shaykh Abi al-Fattuh in his Tafsir: From al-Sadiq (as) who said: When the Holy Prophet (S) looked in the mirror he said: أَلْحَمْدُ لِلٌّهِ الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ خَلْقِي وَخُلْقِي، وَزَانَ مِنِّي مَاشَانَ مِنْ غَـيْرِي.

“Praise be to Allah who made excellent my creation and my character, and made graceful from me what he made disgraceful from others.” [^5] His Du’a when sitting on his mount In Awali al-La’ali: About the Holy Prophet (S): Whenever he sat on his mount as he departed for a journey, he would recite takbir thrice then say: سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هٌذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ، وَإِنَّا إِلـى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ.

أَللٌّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ فِي سَفَرِنَا هٌذَا الْبِرَّ وَالتَقْوى وَمِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تَرْضى. أَللٌّهُمَّ هَوِّنْ عَلَيْـنَا سَفَرَنَا وَأَطْوِ عَنَّا بُعْدَهُ. أَللٌّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الصَّاحِبُ فِي السَّفَرِ وَالْخَلِيفَةُ فِي الأَهْلِ. أَللٌّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَعَثَاءِ السَّفَرِ وَكَآبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَسُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي الأَهْلِ وَالْمَالِ.
