[With the name of Allaah.]
[I believe in Allaah.]
[I place my trust upon Allaah.]
[And there is no might.]
[And no power]
[O Allaah verily I seek refuge with You]
[lest I should be misguided or led astray]
[or lapse or be mistaken]
[or oppress or be oppressed]
[or be ignaorant or be treated ignorantly.] [4]
[O Allaah place light in my heart.]
[And light in my tongue.]
[And place light in my ears.]
[And place light in my eyes.]
[And place light behind me.]
[And light in front of me.]
[And place light above me.]
And light behind me.]
[O Allaah, give me light.] [7]
[With the Name of Allaah.]
[I seek refuge with Allaah.]
[And with His Noble Face.]
[And His eternal Authority.]
[With the Name of Allaah.]
[O Allaah, open the doors of your Mercy for me.][11] When he leaves, he should begin with his left foot and say:
[O Allaah open the doors of Your Virtue for me.][12]
He should then become involved in the remembrance of Allaah or be quiet, and not rush to speak about worldly matters. So whoever stays like that, then he is in prayer and the angels ask forgiveness for him - as long as he does not become troublesome or talk.
[1] This is a translation of (p. 5-9) of the book Aadaab Mashee illas Salaah by Imaam Muhammad Ibn 'Abdul Wahhaab. [2] Translators Note: What is expressed here is the combined meaning of various authentic hadeeths. From them are the following: Translators Note: What is expressed here is the combined meaning of various authentic hadeeths. From them are the following:A. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "If one of you makes ablution for prayer, then do not let him interlace between his fingers." [Reported by Abu Hurayrah. Related by Tabaraanee in al-Awsat, and as-Sagheer. It was authenticated by Shaykh al-Albaanee in Saheehut Targheeb (no. 293), and Saheehul Jaami' (no. 446).] B. The Prophet(sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "If one of you makes ablution, then he should perfect his ablution. Then he should leave intentionally for the mosque, and he should not interlace his hands for verily he is in prayer." [Reported by Ka'ab Ibn 'Ujrah. Related by Ahmad, Abu Daawood, and Tirmidthee. It was authenticated by Shaykh al- Albaanee, see: al Mishkaatul Masaabeeh (no. 994), Saheeh Sunan Abee Daawood (no. 571), Irwaa'ul Ghaleel (no. 379), and Saheehul Jaami' (no. 4422).] C. The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said: "If one of you were to perform ablution in his house, then proceed to the mosque, he would be in prayer until he returned. So do not let him speak in such a manner, nor interlace his fingers." [Reported by Abu Hurayrah. Related by al-Haakim who also authenticated it. See: al-Mishkaatul Masaabeeh (no. 994), Saheehut Targheeb (no. 292), Silsilatul Ahaadeethus Saheehah (no. 1294), and Saheehul Jaami' (no. 445).] The basic hadeeth along with it's various additions can be seen in Ahmad, Abu Daawood, and Ibn Maajah, see: Silsilatul Ahaadeethis Saheehah (no. 1294). And Allaah knows best. [3] Translators Note: Abu Daawood (4/325), Tirmidthee (5/490). See Saheeh Sunanut Tirmidthee (3/151). This is an authentically reported supplication.[4] Translators Note: Reported by Abu Daawood, Tirmidthee, Ibn Maajah, and Nisaa`ee. See: Saheeh Sunanut Tirmidthee (3/151), and Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah (2/336). [5] Translators Note: Reported by Abu Daawood, Tirmidthee, Ibn Maajah, and Nisaa`ee. See: Saheeh Sunanut Tirmidthee (3/151), and Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah (2/336). [5] This is an agreed upon hadeeth.[6] His statement, "I ask you by the right of those who ask..." - indeed it was mentioned in a hadeeth, but Taqiyyud Deen Ibn Taymiyyah was not fully convinced of it's authenticity. Besides that, he also mentioned that in it's chain of narrators is 'Atiyyah al-'Awfee, and he is a Shee'ee mudallis, so its mentioning cannot be relied upon. In the case that it may be authentic, then the scholars have explained that the right of those who ask is the answer, and the right of the path is reward, and similar to that. So the answer is for the supplication, and the reward is for righteous actions, and it is with Allaah the Exalted. So as for the question of asking Allaah from one of his creation, then this is prohibited, and impermissible.

[9] Translators Note: Reported in Abu Daawood, see Saheehul Jaami' (no. 459). [9] Translators Note: Reported by Ibnus Sunnee (no. 88). Shaykh al-Albaanee has declared it good.[10] Translators Note: Reported in Abu Daawood 1/126. See Saheehul Jaami' (1/528). [11] Translators Note: Reported in Abu Daawood 1/126. See Saheehul Jaami' (1/528). [11] Translators Note: Muslim (1/494). [12] Translators Note: Reported in Ibn Maajah, see Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah (1/129).
[13] Translators Note: Reported by Qataadah, and Abee Hurayrah. Related by Ahmad, Bukhaaree, Muslim, Abu Daawood, Tirmidthee, Ibn Maajah, and Nisaa`ee. See, ar-Rawdhah (no. 1008), Irwaa'ul Ghaleel (no. 467), Riyaadhus Saaliheen (no. 1151), and Saheehul Jaami' (no. 513).
