Holy Prophet’s Prayer

Its reported by Sayyid Ibn Tawuus via Imam Ali Ridha, through an authenticated chain that the Prophet used to perform a 2 rakat prayer as described.

1. In the first rakaat, after Surah Al Fatiha, recite Surah Qadr, 97 times

   بِّسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَٰهُ فِى لَيْلَةِ ٱلْقَدْرِ

   Surely We revealed it on the grand night.

   وَمَآ أَدْرَىٰكَ مَا لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ

   And what will make you comprehend what the grand night

   لَيْلَةُ ٱلْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

   The grand night is better than a thousand months.

   تَنَزَّلُ ٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ وَٱلرُّوحُ فِيهَا بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِم مِّن كُلِّ أَمْرٍ

   The angels and Jibreel descend in it by the permission of their Lord for every affair,

   سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

   Peace! it is till the break of the morning.

   There is no god save Allah;

   رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّ آبَائِنَا ٱلاوَّلِينَ

   our Lord and the Lord of our fathers of old.

   لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

   There is no god save Allah;

   إِلٰهاً وَاحِداً وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ

   one God, and to Him are we submissive.

   لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

   There is no god save Allah;

   لاَ نَعْبُدُ إِلاَّ إِيَّاهُ

   we worship none save Him,

   مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ

   making our devotion sincere as in His sight

   وَلَوْ كَرِهَ ٱلْمُشْرِكُونَ

   even though the polytheists may detest it.

   لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ ٱللَّهُ

   There is no god save Allah;

   وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ

   alone, alone, alone,

   انْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ

   He has truly fulfilled His promise,

   وَنَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ

   granted His servant victory,

   وَاعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ

   وَهَزَمَ ٱلاحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ

   and defeated the parties alone.

   فَلَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ

   All sovereignty be His and all praise be to Him.

   وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ

   And He has power over all things.

   اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ نُورُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلارْضِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ

   O Allah, You are the Light of the heavens and the earth and whatever is in these two.

   فَلَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ

   So, all praise be to You.

   وَانْتَ قَيَّامُ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلارْضِ وَمَنْ فيهِنَّ

   And You are the Fashioner of the heavens and the earth and whatever exists in these two.

   فَلَكَ ٱلْحَمْدُ

   وَٱلْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ

   Paradise is true,

   وَٱلنَّارُ حَقٌّ

   اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ اسْلَمْتُ

   O Allah, to You have I surrendered,

   وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ

   in You do I believe,

   وَعَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ

   on You do I rely,

   وَبِكَ خَاصَمْتُ

   for Your sake do I dispute,

   وَإِلَيْكَ حَاكَمْتُ

   and Your judgment do I seek.
