بَابُ الدُّعَاءِ فِي السُّجُودِ وَمَا يُقَالُ فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَذْكَارِ غَيْرِ مَا مُدَّ فِي الرُّكُوعِ
Chapter on Supplication in Prostration and What is Said There Besides What is Said in Bowing
Hadith 1746
عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ إِذَا سَجَدَ يَقُولُ: ((اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُّ، وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ، وَلَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ، سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ فَصَوَّرَهُ فَأَحْسَنَ صُوَرَهُ فَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prostration, he used to recite this supplication: "O Allah! I have prostrated for You, and I have believed in You, and I have submitted to You. My face has prostrated to the One Who created it, and fashioned it, and gave it the best form, and opened its hearing and sight. So blessed is Allah, the Best of creators." (O Allah! I have prostrated only for You, believed in You, submitted to You; my face has prostrated to the One Who created it, shaped it, made it beautiful, and opened its ears and eyes. Allah is very blessed, the Best of creators.)
Hadith 1747
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَصِفُ صَلَاةَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي التَّهَجُّدِ، قَالَ: ثُمَّ خَرَجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَصَلَّى وَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ أَوْ فِي سُجُودِهِ: ((اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا، وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَمِينِي نُورًا، وَعَنْ يَسَارِي نُورًا، وَأَمَامِي نُورًا، وَخَلْفِي نُورًا، وَفَوْقِي نُورًا، وَتَحْتِي نُورًا، وَاجْعَلْنِي نُورًا، قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَوْ قَالَ اجْعَلْ لِي نُورًا))
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates the Tahajjud prayer of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out for prayer and prayed, and during the prayer or in prostration he began to supplicate: O Allah! Place light in my heart, and light in my hearing, and light in my sight, and light on my right, and light on my left, and light in front of me, and light behind me, and light above me, and light beneath me, and make me light. Shu’bah says: Or the last phrase is like this: Make for me light. (O Allah! Place light in my heart, light in my ears, light in my sight, light on my right, light on my left, light in front of me, light behind me, light above me, and light beneath me, and make me light.)
Hadith 1748
عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا فَقَدَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ مَضْجَعِهِ فَلَمَسَتْهُ بِيَدِهَا فَوَقَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ: ((رَبِّ أَعْطِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا، زَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَا، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّهَا وَمَوْلَاهَا))
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that she found the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) missing from the bed, so she searched for him with her hand. When her hand touched him, she realized that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of prostration and was supplicating: "O my Lord! Grant my soul its piety, purify it, You are the best to purify it, You are its Guardian and Master."
Hadith 1749
وَعَنْهَا أَيْضًا قَالَتْ: افْتَقَدْتُّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ ذَهَبَ إِلَى بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فَتَحَسَّسْتُ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَطَلَبْتُهُ) ثُمَّ رَجَعْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ رَاكِعٌ أَوْ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ: ((سُبْحَانَكَ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ)) (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَقُولُ: ((رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ)) فَقُلْتُ: بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي إِنَّكَ لَفِي شَأْنٍ وَأَنَا فِي شَأْنٍ آخَرَ)
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: One night I found the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) missing, and I thought that he had gone to another wife. So I searched and looked for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). But when I returned, I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of bowing or prostration, reciting this supplication: "Subhanaka wa bihamdika la ilaha illa anta" (Glory be to You and with Your praise, there is no deity except You). And in another narration: He was reciting this supplication in prostration: "Rabbi ighfir li ma asrartu wa ma a'lantu" (O my Lord! Forgive me my hidden and open sins). Seeing this, I said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, indeed I was thinking of something else, and you were engaged in something else.
Hadith 1750
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The servant is closest to his Lord while in the state of prostration, so make abundant supplication in it.
