SUPPLICATION BEFORE LEAVING A GATHERING

845

“It was seldom that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, would leave a gathering without supplicating: ‘O Allah, bestow upon us of Your fear that should serve as a barrier between us and our sins, and bestow upon us Your obedience that will help us to reach Your Paradise, and grant increase in faith so that we are able to face the misfortunes of this world easily. O Allah, bless us to receive benefit from our faculties of hearing and seeing and vigor as long as You give us life and make us the heirs of them; and afflict with our rancor those who oppress us, and help us against those who are our enemies, and do not entangle us in the difficulties of our Religion; and do not make the world our preoccupation, or the ultimate limit of our knowledge, and do not appoint people over us who will not show mercy to us.’"

Tirmidhi with a chain up to ibn Omar who related the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.

SAFETY IN THIS LIFE AND IN THE EVERLASTING LIFE
