mā yaqūlu mani ustujība duʿāʾuhu
What One Says When One's Supplication Is Answered
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى إِجَابَةِ الدُّعَاءِ
al-ḥamdu li-llāhi ʿalā ʾijābati al-duʿāʾi
All praise is due to Allah for answering the supplication.
«مَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا عَرَفَ الْإِجَابَةَ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ فَشُفِيَ مِنْ مَرَضٍ، أَوْ قَدِمَ مِنْ سَفَرٍ، أَنْ يَقُولَ: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِعِزَّتِهِ وَجَلَالِهِ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ» [مس، ي].
«mā yamnaʿu ʾaḥadakum ʾidhā ʿarafa al-ʾijābata min nafsihi fa-shufiya min maraḍin, ʾaw qadima min safarin, ʾan yaqūla: al-ḥamdu li-llāhi alladhī biʿizzatihi wa-jalālihi tatimmu al-ṣāliḥātu» [مس، ي].
"What prevents any of you, when he recognizes that his prayer has been answered—when he has recovered from an illness or returned from a journey—from saying: 'All praise is due to Allah, by whose might and majesty righteous deeds are brought to completion'?" [مس، ي].

«I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, Islam as my religion, and Muhammad as my Prophet—three times» [مص، ي].
«اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ (أَمْسَى) بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ [حب، س] أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ [ي] فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ، وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ» [د، س، حب، ي].
«Allāhumma mā ʾaṣbaḥa (ʾamsā) bī min niʿmatin [حب، س] ʾaw biʾaḥadin min khalqika [ي] fa-minka waḥdaka lā sharīka laka, fa-laka al-ḥamdu, wa-laka al-shukru» [د، س، حب، ي].
«O Allah, whatever blessing has come to me this morning (this evening) [حب، س], or to any of Your creation [ي], is from You alone, with no partner. To You belongs all praise, and to You belongs all thanks» [د، س، حب، ي].
«اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَدَنِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي سَمْعِي، اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِي بَصَرِي، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ - اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَالْفَقْرِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ، لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ - ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ -» [د، س، ي].
«Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī badanī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī samʿī, Allāhumma ʿāfinī fī baṣarī, lā ʾilāha ʾillā ʾanta - thalātha marrātin - Allāhumma ʾinnī ʾaʿūdhu bika mina al-kufri wa-l-faqri, Allāhumma ʾinnī ʾaʿūdhu bika min ʿadhābi al-qabri, lā ʾilāha ʾillā ʾanta - thalātha marrātin -» [د، س، ي].
«O Allah, grant well-being to my body. O Allah, grant well-being to my hearing. O Allah, grant well-being to my sight. There is no deity but You—three times. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from disbelief and poverty. O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the punishment of the grave. There is no deity but You—three times» [د، س، ي].
«سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ، مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ، وَمَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ، أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَأَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمًا» [د، س، ي].
«subḥāna Allāhi wa-biḥamdihi, lā quwwata ʾillā bi-llāhi, mā shāʾa Allāhu kāna, wa-mā lam yashaʾ lam yakun, ʾaʿlamu ʾanna Allāha ʿalā kulli shayʾin qadīrun, wa-ʾanna Allāha qad ʾaḥāṭa bikulli shayʾin ʿilman» [د، س، ي].
«Glory and praise be to Allah. There is no strength except through Allah. Whatever Allah wills comes to pass, and whatever He does not will does not come to pass. I know that Allah has power over all things and that Allah encompasses all things in knowledge» [د، س، ي].
«أَصْبَحْنَا (أَمْسَيْنَا) عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَكَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ، وَعَلَى دِينِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ، وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفًا(٤) مُسْلِمًا، وَمَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ» [أ، ط].
«ʾaṣbaḥnā (ʾamsaynā) ʿalā fiṭrati al-ʾislāmi, wa-kalimati al-ʾikhlāṣi, wa-ʿalā dīni nabiyyinā muḥammadin ṣallā Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-sallam, wa-ʿalā millati ʾabīnā ʾibrāhīma ḥanīfan(4) musliman, wa-mā kāna mina al-mushrikīna» [أ، ط].
«We have entered the morning (the evening) upon the natural disposition of Islam, the word of sincere faith, the religion of our Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the creed of our father Abraham, inclining uprightly to the truth(4), a Muslim, and not one of those who associate partners with Allah» [أ، ط].
فِي الصَّبَاحِ وَالْمَسَاءِ [س].
fī al-ṣabāḥi wa-l-masāʾi [س].
In the morning and evening [س].
(١) الْعَوْرَةُ كُلُّ مَا يُسْتَحْيَا مِنْهُ إِذَا ظَهَرَ، وَالرَّوْعَةُ الْفَزَعُ.
(1) al-ʿawratu kullu mā yustaḥyā minhu ʾidhā ẓahara, wa-l-rawʿatu al-fazaʿu.
(1) An ‘awrah is anything whose exposure causes shame, and raw‘ah means fright.
(٢) قَالَ وَكِيعُ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ: يَعْنِي الْخَسْفَ.
(2) qāla wakīʿu bnu al-jarrāḥi: yaʿnī al-khasfa.
(2) Waki‘ ibn al-Jarrah said: this means being swallowed by the earth.
(٣) فِي رِوَايَةٍ رَسُولًا وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ نَبِيًّا، قَالَ النَّوَوِيُّ: فَيُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ بَيْنَهُمَا فَيُقَالَ: نَبِيًّا وَرَسُولًا، وَلَوِ اقْتَصَرَ عَلَى أَحَدِهِمَا كَانَ عَامِلًا بِالْحَدِيثِ.
(3) fī riwāyatin rasūlan wa-fī riwāyatin nabiyyan, qāla al-nawawiyyu: fa-yustaḥabbu ʾan yajmaʿa baynahumā fa-yuqāla: nabiyyan wa-rasūlan, wa-lawi iqtaṣara ʿalā ʾaḥadihimā kāna ʿāmilan bi-l-ḥadīthi.
(3) One narration says “Messenger” and another says “Prophet.” Al-Nawawi said that it is recommended to combine the two by saying “Prophet and Messenger”; if one uses only either term, one has still acted according to the hadith.
(٤) قَالَ الْأَزْهَرِيُّ: مَعْنَى الْحَنِيفِيَّةِ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ الْمَيْلُ إِلَيْهِ وَالْإِقَامَةُ عَلَى عَقْدِهِ، وَقَالَ ابْنُ سِيدَهْ فِي مُحْكَمِهِ: الْحَنِيفُ الْمُسْلِمُ الَّذِي يَتَحَنَّفُ عَنِ الْأَدْيَانِ، أَيْ يَمِيلُ إِلَى الْحَقِّ.
(4) qāla al-ʾazhariyyu: maʿnā al-ḥanīfiyyati fī al-ʾislāmi al-maylu ʾilayhi wa-l-ʾiqāmatu ʿalā ʿaqdihi, wa-qāla ibnu sīdah fī muḥkamihi: al-ḥanīfu al-muslimu alladhī yataḥannafu ʿani al-ʾadyāni, ʾay yamīlu ʾilā al-ḥaqqi.
(4) Al-Azhari said that hanifiyyah within Islam means inclining toward it and remaining steadfast in its covenant. Ibn Sidah said in his Al-Muhkam: a hanif is a Muslim who turns away from other religions—that is, inclines toward the truth.
