How To Make Dua In Sujood

REQUEST: I accept made this valuable articlefreely available to read and share ― I request that you donate the corporeality of just £two as Sadaqah to the Salafi Bookstore and Islamic Centre then they can impress and distribute gratuitous leaflets and booklets to aid the da'wah of Ahlus-Sunnah and Hadīth across the globe. If you lot are not able to donate, and then delight make du'ā to Allah that He continues to help and strengthen this blest da'wah.

At that place is a hadeeth reported by Imām Muslim in his Saheeh (no. 482) from Abu Hurayrah (radiyallāhu 'anhu) that the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ

"The closest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is in sajdah, and then brand plentiful du'ā (in sajdah)."

Imām Muslim (no. 479) also narrated from Ibn 'Abbās (radiyallāhu 'anhumā) that the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

أَلاَ وَإِنِّي نُهِيتُ أَنْ أَقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ رَاكِعًا أَوْ سَاجِدًا فَأَمَّا الرُّكُوعُ فَعَظِّمُوا فِيهِ الرَّبَّ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَمَّا السُّجُودُ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَقَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ

"Surely I have been prohibited from reciting the Qur'an in rukoo' (bowing) and in sajdah (prostration). As for the rukoo', and then extol the greatness of the Lord (the Mighty and Majestic) in it. As for the sujood, and so strive in it with supplication (du'ā) because it is fitting that your supplications will be answered." Meaning that is worthy that your supplications volition be answered (in that state).

Making du'ā while prostrating (in sujood) is legislated in the Sharee'ah, so it is important that ane supplicates plentifully in sajdah―and there is no limit placed on the supplication. Indeed, a person tin can supplicate for whatever Allah makes like shooting fish in a barrel for him from the fulfilment of his needs. Still, if he supplicates with du'ās that take been reported in the Sunnah from the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam), so that is better.

From the supplications of the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam) of the sujood is:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي كُلَّهُ دِقَّهُ وَجِلَّهُ وَأَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ وَعَلاَنِيَتَهُ وَسِرَّهُ

"O Allah, forgive all my sins, small and not bad, the first and concluding, the open up and clandestine." (Muslim, no. 483)

Equally for the supplication:

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَعَافِنِي وَارْزُقْنِ

"O Allah, forgive me, have mercy upon me, guide me, grant me safety and wellbeing, and give me provision." (Muslim, no. 2697) ―Ibn 'Abbās stated that the Prophet (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam) would recite this while sitting between the two sajdahs―but if a person was to recite this in the sujood or at the end of the tahiyyāt (i.due east. at the end of the tashahhud before finishing the Prayer), or if he was to make du'ā for whatever other need he has, then there is no damage in that. For example, he can say: "O Allah, cure me of this sickness," or "O Allah, grant me a righteous wife," or "O Allah, give me pious children" ―then these supplications and what is similar to them are fine. Allah'due south Messenger (salallāhu 'alaihi wasallam) did not specify some supplications to the exclusion of others; rather he said: "The closest a servant comes to his Lord is when he is prostrating himself in sajdah, then make enough of du'ā in this state." And so this encompasses supplications that take been reported in texts or those which have not been reported equally has been mentioned previously.

And no distinction is to be made in the supplications between the obligatory (Fard) prayers and the voluntary (Nafl) prayers due to the full general meaning independent in the outset ii hadeeths mentioned to a higher place. And Allah is the One who grants guidance and success.

Majmoo' Fatāwā Ibn Bāz 29/292 (slightly abridged)

Additional point: If a person has not memorised the supplications, or they do not know the Standard arabic language, so information technology is permitted to supplicate to Allah in their own linguistic communication (asking merely for that which is permissible) since that encompasses the meaning of the two hadeeths cited at the showtime of the speech of Shaikh Ibn Bāz (rahimahullāh).
