Authentic Supplications of the Prophet
Supplication in the Prayer and after the Tashahud (100) |
It is reported by way of 'A'ishata 
that the Messenger of Allah
used to supplicate, in his prayer: 'Allãhumma 'innee 'a`outhu
bika min `athãbil qabri, wa 'a`outhu bika min fitnatil-maseehid-dajjali,
wa 'a`outhu bika min fitnatil mahyã wal-mamãti, 'allãhumma
'innee 'a`outhu bika minal-ma'thami wal-maghrami(117)
It was then said to him by someone: Oh how often it is that you seek
refuge from 'al-maghrami?(118) So
he said: "When a person is inflicted with it (al-maghrami) he would
talk and lie, and he would make promises and break them". |
| Footnotes
(117) O' my 'ilãh I seek
refuge in You from the torture in the grave, l seek refuge in You
from the trying misfortunes [that accompany] the impostorous messiah
[antichrist], and I see refuge in You from the trial of living and
dying. O' my 'ilah I seek refuge in You from being caught up in
sin, and from being caught up in a state indebtedness [or perhaps
state of obsession with something or someone. See following footnote.]
(118)) 'Al-maghrami can mean
several things in Arabic. It can refer to a state of being overburdened
by debt and obligation to pay, it can also take on the meaning of
being enamored and inflamed with love. So the word carries meanings
of passion, earnest desire, punishment, affliction, hardship, and
obligation.
