Sunnah acts of prayer, Supplications After the Last Tashahud and Before the
Tasleem
It is preferred for the person to supplicate after the final tashahud and before making the final salutations (that end the
prayer). The person may ask for whatever he wishes of the good of this life and the hereafter. Ibn Mas'ud reported that the
Prophet, upon whom be peace, taught him the tashahud and then said, "Then choose whatever you wish to ask (of Allah)."
(Related by Muslim.)
Supplications are preferred acts in general, regardless of whether they are reported from the Prophet or not, although
supplications authenticated by the sunnah are better. Some of these are:
1. Abu Hurairah reported that the Messenger of Allah, upon whom be peace, said, "When one of you finishes the final
tashahud, he should say, 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the torment of the Hell-fire and the grave, from the trials
of life and death, and from the trials of the false Messiah." (Related by Muslim.)
2. 'Aishah reported that the Messenger of Allah would supplicate in his prayer, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the
torment of the grave, from the trials of the anti-Christ, and from the trials of life and death. Allah, I seek refuge in You
from sin and debt." (Related by Muslim and al-Bukhari.)…..
7. Said Abu Mijlaz, " 'Ammar ibn Yasar led us in the prayer and he made it very short. The people blamed him for that
and he told them, 'Did I not complete my bowings and prostrations ... and did I not supplicate therein what the Prophet
used to supplicate, saying, 'O Allah by Your knowledge of the unseen and Your power over the creation, let me live if
You know that living is best for me, and let me die if You know that dying is better for me. I ask You (to forgive me) for
fear of You in what is not seen and what is seen, to make my speech truthful while angry or pleased, and to have the
same aim in poverty and riches. Grant me the pleasure of looking to Your face and of the longing to meet You. I seek
refuge in You from a harmful loss and from the trials of a misguider. O Allah, embellish me with the beauty of faith,
and make us of the guided of the guiders." This is related by Ahmad and an-Nasa'i with a good chain……
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith
Hadith 1569 Narrated by

miss him he falls into decrepitude till he dies."
Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying that this is a gharib tradition.
Sahih Muslim Hadith
Hadith 4546 Narrated by
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As
It has been narrated on the authority of AbdurRahman ibn Abdu Rabb al-Ka'ba who said: I entered the mosque when
Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah and the people had gathered around him. I betook myself
to them and sat near him. (Now) Abdullah said: I accompanied the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) on a journey.
We halted at a place. Some of us began to erect their tents, others began to compete with one another in shooting, and
others began to graze their beasts, when an announcer of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) announced that the
people should gather together for prayer. So we gathered around the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). He said: It
was the duty of every Prophet that has gone before me to guide his followers to what he knew was good for them and warn
them against what he knew was bad for them. However, this Ummah of yours has its days of peace and (security) at the
beginning of its career, and in the last phase of its existence it will be afflicted with trials and with things disagreeable to you.
(In this phase of the Ummah), there will be tremendous trials, one after the other, each making the previous one dwindle into
insignificance. When they are afflicted with a trial, the believer will say: This is going to bring about my destruction. When (the
trial) is over, they will be afflicted with another trial and the believer will say: This surely is going to be my end. Whoever
wishes to be delivered from the Fire and enter the Garden should die with faith in Allah and the Last Day and should treat the
people as he wishes to be treated by them. He who swears allegiance to a Caliph should give him the pledge of his hand and
the sincerity of his heart (i.e. submit to him both outwardly as well as inwardly). He should obey him to the best of his
capacity. If another man comes forward (as a claimant to Caliphate), disputing his authority, they (the Muslims) should
behead the latter. The narrator says: I came close to him (Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As) and said to him: Can you say on oath
that you heard it from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)? He pointed with his hands to his ears and his heart and
said: My ears heard it and my mind retained it. I said to him: This cousin of yours, Mu'awiyah, orders us to consume our
wealth unjustly among ourselves and to kill one another, while Allah says: "O ye who believe, do not consume your wealth
among yourselves unjustly, unless it be trade based on mutual agreement, and do not kill yourselves. Verily, God is Merciful
to you" (iv.29). The narrator says that (on hearing this) Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As kept quiet for a while and then said: Obey
him in so far as he is obedient to God; and disobey him in matters involving disobedience to God.
Sunan of Abu-Dawood
Hadith 4265 Narrated by
AbuMusa
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: This people of mine is one to which mercy is shown. It will have no punishment in the
next world, but its punishment in this world will be trials, earthquakes and being killed.
