390. Statement of urgent need
Abdullah bin Mas'ud (RA) narrated: "The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) taught us the Tashah-hud for Salat and the Tashah-hud for Al-Hajjah." He said: "The Tashah-hud for Salat is:
إِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَنَسْتَعِينُهُ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَنَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَهْدِهِ اللَّهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهُ وَمَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَّا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُونَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ ۚ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًۭا سَدِيدًا يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًا
اِنَّ الْحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ نَحْمَدُهٗ وَنَسْتَعِيْنُهٗ وَنَسْتَغْفِرُهٗ وَنَعُوْذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ شُرُوْرِ اَنْفُسِنَا وَمِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ اَعْمَالِنَا، مَنْ يَّهْدِ اللّٰهُ فَلَا مُضِلَّ لَهٗ ـ وَمَنْ يُّضْلِلْ فَلَا هَادِيَ لَهٗ ـ اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لَّا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاَشْهَدُ اَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهٗ وَرَسُوْلُهٗ ـ يَا اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوْا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهٖ وَلَا تَمُوْتُنَّ اِلَّا وَاَنْتُمْ مُّسْلِمُوْنَ يَا اَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوْا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِيْ خَلَقَكُم مِّنْ نَّفْسٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ ـ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيْرًا وَّنِسَاءً ۚ وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ الَّذِيْ تَسَاءَلُوْنَ بِهٖ وَالْاَرْحَامَ ۚ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيْبًا يَا اَيُّهَا الَّذِيْنَ اٰمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَقُوْلُوْا قَوْلًا سَدِيْدًا يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ اَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوْبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُّطِعِ اللّٰهَ وَرَسُوْلَهٗ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيْمًا
Innal-hamda lillaah nahmaduhu wa nasta‛eenuhu wa nastaghfiruhu, wa na‛oodhu billaahi min shuroori anfusinaa wa min sayyi’aati a‛maalinaa, man yahdih-illaahu fa laa mudilla lah, wa man yudlil fa laa haadiya lah, ash-hadu an laa ilaaha ill-Allaahu, wa ash-hadu anna muhammadan ‛abduhu wa rasooluh Yaa ayyuhal-ladheena aamanut-taqullaaha ‘haqqa tuqaatihi walaa tamootunna illaa wa antum muslimoon yaa ayyuhan-naasut-taqoo rabbakum-ul-ladhee khalaqakum min nafsin wa’hidatin, wa khalaqa minhaa zawjahaa, wa bath-tha minhumaa rijaalan katheeran wanisaa’-an, wat-taqullaahal-ladhee tasaa’aloona bihi wal ar’haam, inn-Allaaha kaana ‛alaykum raqeebaa Yaa ayyuhal-ladheena aamanut-taqullaaha wa qooloo qawlan sadeeda, yusli’h lakum a‛maalakum wa yaghfir lakum dhunoobakum, wa man yuti‛illaaha wa rasoolahu faqad faaza fawz-an ‛azeemaa
Indeed all Praise is for Allah, we praise Him, we seek His help and we ask His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allah from the evil of our own souls and from the evil of our actions. Whoever Allah guides will never be led astray,and whomever Allah leads astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. (then reads the following verses) O you who believe! Fear Allah as He should be feared, and die not except as Muslims; [1] O Mankind! Fear your Lord, Who created you from a single person, and from him created his wife, and from them he created many men and women, and fear Allah through Whom you demand your mutual (rights). Surely, Allah is Ever Watchful over you; [2] O you who believe! Fear Allah, and speak (always) the truth He will direct you to do righteous good deeds and will forgive you your sins. And whosoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has indeed achieved a great success. [3]
Then he would talk about his needs. [4]
