PRAYER ON THE DAY OF 27^TH RAJAB

Abul Abbas, Ahmad bn Ali bn Nuh (r.a.), says: Abu Ahmad, Mohsin bn Abdul Hakam Sajari, stated before me and I have written from his original work that it is written in the book of Abi Nasr, Jafar bn Mohammad bn Hasan bn Haytham, that this prayer is narrated from Abul Qasim, Husain bn Rauh (r.a.), in the following method:

            The prayer of the 27^th day of Rajab comprises of 12 units (Rak’ats) and in every unit, Sura e Hamd shall be recited with any other Sura possible, after every two units, he will recite Salaam followed by the following supplication:

 اَلْحَمْدُ للَّهِِ الَّذي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيراً .

 يا عُدَّتي في مُدَّتي ، وَيا صاحِبي في شِدَّتي ، وَيا وَلِيّي في نِعْمَتي ، يا غِياثي في رَغْبَتي ، يا مُجيبي في حاجَتي ، يا حافِظي في غَيْبَتي ، يا كالِئي في وَحْدَتي ، يا اُنْسي في وَحْشَتي .

 أَنْتَ السَّاتِرُ عَوْرَتي ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ، وَأَنْتَ الْمُقيلُ عَثْرَتي ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَأَنْتَ الْمُنَفِّسُ صَرْعَتي، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاسْتُرْ عَوْرَتي ، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَتي ، وَأَقِلْني عَثْرَتي ، وَاصْفَحْ عَنْ جُرْمي ، وَتَجاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئاتي في أَصْحابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذي كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ .

            “All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a son, and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace and proclaim His greatness magnifying (Him), O’ my supporter during my lifetime, O’ my companion in my hardships, O’ my guardian for my bounties, O’ my helper in all my needs, O’ my answerer for all my demands, O’ my protector in my absence, O’ my custodian in my solitude, O’ affable in solicitude. You are the concealer of my indecencies, thus praise be to You, You are the forgiver of my stumbling, thus praise be to You, Only You uplift me when I fall, thus praise be to You, Bless Mohammad (p.b.u.h.) and the Holy Progeny of Mohammad (p.b.u.h.). And conceal my flaws, secure me from my fright, forgive my stumbling, pardon my crimes, pass over my evil deeds, among the Dwellers of the Garden the promise of truth which they were promised.”

After offering the prayer and reciting the supplication, recite any one of the following chapters, Sura al Hamd,قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ,قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ , قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاس‏,

قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَق‏,إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْر andآية الكرسى‏, seven times, thereafter, repeat the following lines seven times:

«لا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ، وَسُبْحانَ اللَّهِ ، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلّا بِاللَّهِ»

“La Ilaha Illallah, wallaho Akbar, wa Sub’hanallahi, wa la Haula wa la Quwwata illa billahi” (There is not God but Allah, Allah is great, Allah is glorious, there is no movement and power but due to Allah).

            Also say seven times: Allaho Allaho Rabbi, La ush’riko bihi Shai’a

«اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبّي، لااشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً»

(Allah, Allah, is my Lord, I do not associate anything with him as partner).

Then pray to Allah for your wishes. [1]
