What is Salaatul Haajat?
The so-called Salaat al-Haajah was narrated in da'eef (weak) or
munkar (denounced) ahaadeeth - as far as we know - which cannot be
used as proof and which are not fit to base acts of worship
on."From 'Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Awfa al-Aslami, who said: The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
came out to us and said: 'Whoever has need of something from Allaah
or any one of His creation, let him do wudoo' and pray two rak'ahs,
then let him say, "There is no god but Allaah, the Forbearing, the
Most Generous. Glory be to Allaah, Lord of the mighty Throne.
Praise be to Allaah the Lord of the Worlds. O Allaah, I ask You for
Your mercy and forgiveness and I ask You for all good things and
for safety from all sins. I ask You not to leave any sin without
forgiving it, or any distress without relieving it, or any need
which it pleases You to fulfil without fulfilling it for me." Then
let him ask Allaah for whatever matter of this world or the
Hereafter that he wishes, for it will be fulfilled."
