الْـحَمْدُ لَلَّهِ الَّذِي يُحْيِي الـْمَوْتى لَهُ العَظَمَةُ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَالْـملْكُ وَالْقُدرَةُ وَالسَّنَاءُ وَهُو عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

“All praise is due to Allah Who gives life to the dead,  To Him belongs the Might the Majesty, the Dominion, the Power, and Sublimity; and He is Powerful over everything.”

اللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬صَلِّ‮ ‬عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮  ‬وَبَارِكْ‮ ‬عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ‮  ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬كَـمَا صَلَيْتَ‮ ‬وَرَحِمْتَ‮ ‬وَبَارِكْتَ‮ ‬عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ‮ ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬إِبْرَاهِمَ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬الْعَالَـمِينَ‮ ‬إِنَّكَ‮ ‬حَمِيدٌ‮ ‬مَجِيدٌ

“Oh Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad in the same manner as you sent blessing, showed mercy and blessed Ibrāhīm and the family of Ibrāhīm.  Surely, You are Praiseworthy and Exalted.”

أَللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬إِنَّهُ‮ ‬عَبْدُكَ‮ ‬وَابْنُ‮ ‬عَبْدِكَ‮ ‬وَابْنُ‮ ‬أمَتِكَ‮ ‬أَنْتَ‮ ‬خَلَقْتَهُ‮ ‬وَرَقْتَهُ‮ ‬أَنْتَ‮ ‬أَمَّتَهُ‮ ‬وَأَنْتَ‮ ‬تُحْيِيهِ‮ ‬وَأَنْتَ‮ ‬أَعْلَمُ‮ ‬بِسِرِّهِ‮ ‬وَعَلاَنِيَتِهِ‮ ‬جِعْنَاكَ‮ ‬شُفَعَاءَ‮ ‬لَهُ‮ ‬فَشَفِّعْنَا فِيهِ

Oh Allah, he is Your slave and the son of Your male slave and the son of Your female slave.  You created him and You provided for him.  You caused him to die and You will give him life.  You are the One who knows most about his secrets and what he has revealed.  We come to you on his behalf and we are pleading on his behalf.

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬إِنَّا نَسْتَجِيرُ‮ ‬بِحَبْلِ‮ ‬جِوَارِكَ‮ ‬لَهُ‮ ‬إِنَّكَ‮ ‬ذُو وَفَاءِ‮ ‬وَذِمَّةٍ‮ ‬أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬قِهِ‮ ‬مِنْ‮ ‬فِتْنَةِ‮ ‬الْقُبْرِ‮ ‬وَمِنْ‮ ‬عَذَابِ‮ ‬جَهَنَّمَ

Oh Allah, we seek with the rope of nearness to You.  Surely You are the Owner of promise and protection.  Oh Allah, protect him from the trials of the grave and chastisement of the Fire.

أَللّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ  وَارْحَمْهُ واعْفُ عَنْهُ وَعَافِهِ وَاكْرِمْ نُزُلَهُ وَوَسِّعْ  مُدْخَلَهُ وَاغْسِلُهُ بِمَاءٍ وَثَلْجٍ وَبَرْدٍ  وَنَقِّهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَالـخَطَايَا كَمَا يُنّقِّي الثَّوْبُ الأَبْيَضُ مِنَ الدَّنْسِ وَأَبْدِلْهُ دَارًا خَيٌرًا مِنْ دَارِهِ وَأَهْلاً خَيْرًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَزَوْجًا خَيرًا مِنْ زَوْجِهِ

Oh Allah, forgive him and have mercy upon him and pardon him and protect him ennoble and his houses and make his grave a wide expanse and wash him with water and snow and cold and cleanse him of the sins and mistakes like the white garment is cleansed of dirt and give him a good house in place of his house and a good people in place of his people and a good wife in place of his wife.

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬إِنَّ‮ ‬كَانَ‮ ‬مُحْسِنًا فَزِدْ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬إِحْسَانِهِ‮ ‬وَإِنْ‮ ‬كَانَ‮ ‬مُسِيثًا فَتَجَاوَزْ‮ ‬عَنْ‮ ‬سَيِّآتِهِ‮ ‬

Oh Allah, if he was good, increase him in his goodness and if he did wrong, then overlook his wrong actions.

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬قَدْ‮ ‬نَزَلَ‮ ‬بِكَ‮ ‬وَأَنْتَ‮ ‬خَيْرُ‮ ‬مُنْزُولِ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬فَقِيرٌ‮ ‬إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ‮ ‬وَأَنْتَ‮ ‬غَنِيٌ‮ ‬عَنْ‮ ‬عَذَابِهِ‮ ‬

“O Allah, he has come to You and You are the Best that anyone can come to. He is in need of Your mercy and You have no need to punish him.

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬ثَبِّتْ‮ ‬عِنْدَ‮ ‬الْـمَسْأَلَـةِ‮  ‬مَنْطِقَهُ‮ ‬وَلاَ‮ ‬تَبْتَـلِهِ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬قبْرِهِ‮ ‬بِـمَا لاَ‮ ‬طَاقَةَ‮ ‬لَهُ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬وَأَلْـحِـقْهُ‮ ‬بِنَبِيِّّهِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬صَلَّى اللّهُ‮  ‬عَلَيْهِ‮ ‬وَسَلَّمَ‮

“O Allah, make his speech firm when he is questioned and do not rest him in his grave with what is beyond what he can bear. And join him with his Prophet Muhammad صَلَّى اللّهُ‮  ‬عَلَيْهِ‮ ‬وَسَلَّمَ.

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬لاَ‮ ‬تَـحْـرِمْنَا أَجْرَهُ‮ ‬وَلاَ‮ ‬تَفْتِـنَّا بَعْدَهُ

“O Allah do not deprive us of our reward for doing this on his behalf and do not test us after him.”

تَـقُولُ‮ ‬ذَالِكَ‮ ‬بِـإثْـرِ‮ ‬كُـلِّ‮ ‬تَكْبِيرَةٍ‮ ‬ (You say that immediately after each takbīr); وَتَقُولُ‮ ‬بَعَدَ‮ ‬الرَّابِعَةِ‮ ‬ and after the fourth takbīr you say:

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬اغفُرْ‮ ‬لحيِّنَا وَمَيِّتِنَا وَحَاضِرِنَا وَغَائِبِـنَا وَصَغِيرِنَا وَكَبِيرِنَا وَذَكْرِنَا وَأُنْثَانَا إِنَّكَ‮ ‬تَعْلَمُ‮ ‬مُتَقَّلَبَـنَا وَمَثْوَانَا وَاغّْفِر لَنَا وَلِوَالِدينَا وَلِـمَنْ‮ ‬سَبَقَنَا الإِيمَانِ‮ ‬مَغْفِرَةٌ‮ ‬عَزْمًا وَلِلـْمُسْلِمِينَ‮ ‬وَالـْمُسْلِمَاتِ‮ ‬وَالـمُومِنِينَ‮ ‬وَالـْمُومِـنَاتِ‮ ‬الأَحْيَاءِ‮  ‬مِنْهُم وَالأَمْوَاتِ

“O Allah, forgive those who are alive and those who are dead, those present with us and those absent, those who are young and those who are old, those who are male and those who are female. You know everything that we do and where we will end up – and forgive our parents and those who have gone before us with iman and all the muslims both men and women and all the muminun both men and women, the living and the dead.”

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬مَنْ‮ ‬أَحْيَيْتَهُ‮ ‬مِنَّا فَأْحْيِهِ‮ ‬عَلَى الإيمَانِ‮ ‬وَمَنْ‮ ‬تَوَفَّيْتَهُ‮ ‬مِنَّآ فَتَوَ‮ ‬فَّـهُ‮ ‬عَلَى الإِسْلاَمِ‮ ‬وَأَسْعِدْنَا بِلِقَائِكَ‮ ‬وَطَيٍِّبْـنَا للْـمَوْتِ‮ ‬وَطَيِّبْهُ‮ ‬لَنَا وَجْعَلْ‮ ‬فِيهِ‮ ‬رَاحَـتَنَا وَمَسَرَّتَنَا

“O Allah whoever of us You keep alive, keep him alive in iman and whoever You take back to Yourself take him back as a Muslim. Make us glad when we meet You. Make us pleasing at the time of our death and make death pleasant for us. Make it a source of rest and happiness for us.”

ثُمَّ‮ ‬تُسَلِّمُ (then you say: As-Salaamu Alaykum to the right).

إِنْ‮ ‬كَـانَـتْ (If the Janaazah prayer is for a woman), you say: أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬إِنَّهَا أَمَـتُكَ (Oh Allah, she was your slave). Then you continue to say it for the female,  however, do not say, “وأبدِلْـهَا زَوْجِـهَا خَـيْرًا مِـن زَوْجِـهَا (Change her husband for a better husband), لأََّنَّهَا قَـدْ‮ ‬تَـكُونُ‮ ‬زَوْجًا (because she will be a wife) فِـي‮ ‬الْـجَنَّةِ (in the Paradise) لِـزَوْجِـهَا فِـي‮ ‬الدُّنْـيَا (for the man who was her husband on the Earth). وَنِّسَاءُ‮ ‬الْـجَنَّة مَـقْصُورَات عَـلَى أَزْوَاجِهِم (While the women of Paradise are reserved for their husbands), لاَ‮ ‬يَبْغِينَ‮ ‬بِهِمْ‮ ‬بَدَلاً (it is not desired that they [the wives] be changed).”

وَإِنْ‮ ‬أَدْرَكْـتَ‮ ‬جَـنَازَةً (If you know that a Janaazah will take place), وَلَـمْ‮ ‬تَـعْلَمْ (but you do not know) أَذْكَرٌ  أَمْ  هِيَ  أُنْـثَى (if it is for a male or female), قُـلْتَ (you should say): أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬إنَّهَا نَـسَمَتُكَ‮ ‬(Oh Allah! Surely your creation), ثُمَّ‮ ‬تَتَمَدَى بِـذِكْـرِهَـا عَـلَى التَأْنِيِثِ‮ ‬ (then continue to say it over the female), لأَنَّ‮ ‬النَّـسَمَةٌ (because the word: النَّـسَمَةٌ‮ ‬[creation], تَـشْمَلُ‮ ‬الذَّكْـرَ‮ ‬وَالأُنْـثَى‮ (‬encompasses both the male and female).

وَإِنْ‮ ‬كَـانَـتْ‮ ‬الصَّلاَةُ‮ ‬عَـلى طِـفْلٍ‮ ‬ (If the Janaazah prayer is for a small child),‮ ‬قُـلْتَ‮ ‬مَا تَقَدَّمَ (you will say what has already been mentioned) مِـنَ‮ ‬النِّيَّةِ (starting with the intention) وَالتَّكْبِيراتِ‮ ‬وَالدُّعَاءِ (and all of the takbīrs and supplications), غَـيْرَ‮ ‬أَنَّهُ‮ ‬مُسْتَحَبٌّ (however, it is recommended) أَنْ‮ ‬تَقُولَ‮ ‬بَـعَدَ‮ ‬الثَّنَاءِ‮ ‬عَـلَى اللَّهِ‮ ‬ (that you say after the praise of Allah) وَالصَّلاَةِ‮ ‬عَـلَى النَّبِيِّ‮ ‬(and prayer upon His Prophet صلي‮ ‬الله عليه وسلم):

أَللّهُمَّ‮  ‬إِنَّهُ‮ ‬عَبُدُكَ‮ ‬وَابْنُ‮ ‬عَبْدِِكَ‮ ‬أَنْتَ‮ ‬خَلَقْتُهُ‮ ‬وَرَزَقْتَهُ‮ ‬وَأَنْتَ‮ ‬أَمَتَّهُ‮ ‬وأَنْتَ‮ ‬تُـحْيِيهِ‮ ‬أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬اجْعَلْهُ‮ ‬لِوَالِدَيْهِ‮ ‬سَلَفًا وَذُكْرًا وَفَرَطًا وَأَجْرًا وَثَقِّلْ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬مَوَازِينَهُمَا وَاعْظِمْ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬أُجُورَهُمَا وَلاَ‮ ‬تَـحْرِمْنَا وَأَيَّاهُمَا أَجْرَهُ‮ ‬وَلاَ‮ ‬تَفْتِـنَّآ وَأَيَّاهُمَا بَعْدَهُ‮ ‬أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬أَلْـحِقّْهُ‮ ‬بِصَالِـحِ‮ ‬سَـلِـفِ‮ ‬الْـمُومِنِينَ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬كَفَالَةِ‮ ‬إبْرَهِيمِ‮ ‬وَأَبْدِلْهُ‮ ‬دَارًا خَيْرًا مِنْ‮ ‬دَارِهِ‮ ‬وَأَهلاً‮ ‬خَيْرًا مِنْ‮ ‬أَهْلِهِ‮ ‬وَعَافِهِ‮ ‬مِنْ‮ ‬فِتْـنَةِ‮ ‬الْـقُبْرِ‮ ‬وَمِنْ‮ ‬عَذَابِ‮ ‬جَهَنَّمَ

“O Allah, he is your slave and the son of Your slaves. You created him and provided for him. You made him die and will bring him to life. Make him a forerunner and a stored-up treasure and a reward for his parents. Make their balances heavy through him and make their reward greater because of him and do not deprive either us or them of their reward through him and do not test either us or them after him. O Allah, give him the company of the right-acting muminun who have gone ahead and place him under the guardianship of Ibrahim. Give him a house better than the one he had and a family better than the one he had. Save him from the trial of the grave and the torment of Jahannam.”

تَـقُولُ  ذَالِكَ  بِـإثْـرِ  كُـلِّ  تَكْبِيرَةٍ (You said that immediately after each takbiir); وَتَقُولُ‮ ‬بَعَدَ‮ ‬الرَّابِعَةِ (and after the fourth takbīr you say):

أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬اغْفِرْ‮ ‬لأَِسْلاَفِنَا وَأَفْرَاطِنَا وَلِـمَنْ‮ ‬سَبَقَنَا بِالإِيمَانِ‮ ‬أَللّهُمَّ‮ ‬مَنْ‮ ‬أَحْيَيْتَهُ‮ ‬مِنَّا فَأَحْيِهِ‮ ‬عَلَى الإِيمَانِ‮ ‬وَمَنْ‮ ‬تَوَفَّيْتَهُ‮ ‬مِنَّا فَتَوَفَّهُ‮ ‬عَلَى الإسْلاَمِ‮ ‬وَاغْفِرْ‮ ‬لِلْـمُسْلِـمِينَ‮ ‬وَالْـمُسْلِـمَاتِ‮ ‬وَالْـمُومِنِينَ‮ ‬وَالْـمُومِنَاتِ‮ ‬الأَحْيَاءِ‮ ‬مِنْهُمْ‮ ‬وَالأَمْوَاتِ

“O Allah, forgive our forbears and predecessors, and those who have gone before us with imān. O Allah, whoever among us You make live make him live with imān, and whoever You take back to Yourself take him back as a muslim. Forgive all the muslims both men and women and all the muminun both men and women, the living and the dead.”

The Chapter About صَلاَةِ الْـجُمُعَةِ (The Friday Prayer) from Matn al Ashmaawiyyah

The Chapter About صَلاَةِ‮ ‬الْـجُمُعَةِ (The Friday Prayer)

صَـلاَةُ‮ ‬الْـجُـمْعَةِ‮ ‬فَـرْضٌ (Ṣalaatu-l-Jumuʿah is an obligation) عَـلَى الأَعْـيَانِ (which has been placed upon each individual Muslim), وَلَـهَا شُـرُوطُ‮ ‬وُجُـوبٍ (and it has required conditions), وَأَرْكَـانٌ‮ ‬ (rules), وَآدَبٌ (manners),‮ ‬وَأَعْـذَارَ‮ ‬تُـبِيحُ‮ ‬التَّخَـلَّف(and excuses which allow [the worshipper] not to attend it).

فَـأَمَّا شُـرُوطُ‮ ‬وُجُـوبِـهَا (As for the condition of its necessity), فَسَـبْعَةٌ (they are seven): وَالإسْـلاَمُ ‬(Islam), وَالْـبُـلُوغُ (legal maturity), وَالْـعَقْلُ (intellect), وَالذُّكُـورِيَّةِ (masculinity), وَالْـحُـرِّيَـةُ (freedom), وَالإقَامَةُ (residence), وَالصِّحَةِ (and health).

وَأَمَّا (As for its rules), فَخَمْسَةٌ (they are five):

الأَوَّلُ‮ ‬‭:‬‮ ‬الْـَمَسْجِـدُ (The first element is the masjid) الَّذِي‮ ‬يَـكُونُ‮ ‬جَـامِـعًا (that is used the central congregational masjid);

الثَّانِـيُّ‮ ‬‭:‬‮ ‬الْـجَـمََاعَـةُ (The second is the congregation). وَلَـيْسَ‮ ‬لَـهُمْ‮ ‬حَدٌّ‮ ‬عِنْدَمَالِك (There is no limit for them with Maalik). بَـلْ‮ ‬أَنْ (On the contrary),‮ ‬لاَبُدَّ (without  doubt), تَـكُونَ‮ ‬جَـمَاعَةً‮   ‬(it is a group of people) تَـتَقَرَّى بِـهِ‮ ‬قَـرِيَةٌ (wherein a village can be established by them). وَرَجَّحَ‮ ‬بَـعْضُ‮ ‬أَئِـمَّتِنَا (Some of our imāms support the opinion) أَنَّهَا تَجُـوزُ‮ ‬بِـاثْـنَىْ‮ ‬عَشَـرَ‮ ‬رَجُلاً (that Jumuʿah is permitted to be established with twelve men) بَـاقِـيِينَ‮ ‬لِسَـلاَمِـهَا (who remain for the closing salaam).

الثَّالِـثُ‮ ‬‭:‬‮ ‬الْـخُـطْبَةُ‮ ‬الأُلًـَـى (The third element is the first khuṭbah) رُكُـنُ‮ ‬عَـلَى الصَّحِيحِ (and that it is an essential part [of Jumuʿah] according to what is sound), وَ كَـذَالِـكَ الْـخُـطْبَةُ الثَّانِـيَّةُ‬ (similarly, so is the second khuṭbah) عَـلَى مَـشْهُورٌ (according to what is well known [in the Madh-hab]), وَلاَ‮ ‬بُـدَّ (and undoubtedly), أَنْ‮ ‬تَـكُونَ‮ ‬بَـعَدَ‮ ‬الزَّوالِ‮ ‬ (it occurs at end of the first khuṭbah) وَقَـبلَ‮ ‬الصَّلاَةِ (and before the prayer). وَلَـيْسَ‮ ‬فِـي‮ ‬الْـخُـطْبَة حَـدٌّ‮ ‬ (There is also no limit place upon the khuṭbah) عِـنْدَ  مَـالِـكٍ  أَيْـضًا (also according to Maalik), وَلاَ‮ ‬بُـدَّ (and undoubtedly), أَنْ‮ ‬تَـكُونَ‮ ‬مِـمَّا تُـسَّمِيهِ‮ ‬الْـعَربُ‮ ‬خُـطْبَةً (it is what has been called by the Arabs a khuṭbah). وَيَسْـتَحَبُّ  الطَّهَارَةُ  فِـيهِمَا (Ritual purity is recmmended for both khuṭbahs), وَفِـي‮ ‬وُجُوبِ‮ ‬الْقِيَامِ‮ ‬تَرَدُّدٍ (and the necessity of the repetition of Qiyaam [standing position]).

الرَّابِـعْ  : الإمَامُ (The fourth element is the imām). وَمِنْ‮ ‬صِـفتِهِ (Among his characteristics) أَنْ‮ ‬يَـكُونُ‮ ‬مِـمَّنْ‮ ‬تَـجِبُ‮ ‬عَـلَيْهِ‮ ‬ (is that he is among those people for whom Jumuʿah is incumbent). احْـتِرَازًا مِـنْ  الصَّبِيِّ (The imāmate should not be given to the young boy), الْـمُسَافِـرُ (the traveler), وَغَـيْرِهِِـهَا (nor anyone else besides the two above-mentioned persons) مِـمَّنْ‮ ‬لَـمْ‮ ‬تَـجِبُ‮ ‬عَـلَيْهِ (who is not obligated to perform Jumuʿah  upon).

يَشْـتَرَطَ (It is a condition) أَنْ‮ ‬يَـكُونَ‮ ‬الْـمُصَلِّي‮ ‬بِالْـجَمَاعَةِ that the person leading the prayer for the Jamaaʿah) هُـوَ‮ ‬الْـخَاطِـبُ (must be the one who gives the khuṭbah), إِلاَّ  لِـعُذْرٍ (except for an excuse) يَـمْنَعَهُ‮ ‬مِـنْ‮ ‬ذَالِـكَ‮ ‬مِنْ‮ ‬مَرْضٍ (which prevents him from leading the prayer like illness) أَوْ‮ ‬جُـنُونٍ (or insanity)أَوْ‮ ‬نَـحْوِ‮ ‬ذَالِـكَ‮ ‬ (or what is similar to that). وَيَـجِبُ‮ ‬انْتِظَارُهُ (Waiting for him [the imām] is obligatory) لِـلْعُذْرِ‮ ‬الْقَرِيبِ (if the excuse that does take long),عَـلَى الأَصَـحِّ (according to what is most sound).

الْـخَامِـسُ‮ ‬‭:‬‮ ‬مَـوْضِـعُ‮ ‬الاِسْـتِيطَانِ (The fifth element is place of settlement [residence]). فَـلاَ‮ ‬تُـقَامُ‮ ‬الْـجُـمُعَةُ‮ ‬ (Jumuʿah cannot be established), إِلاَّ‮ ‬فِـي‮ ‬مَـوْضِـعٍ‮ ‬يُسْـتِوْطَنُ (except in a place which has been settled), وَيَـكُونُ‮ ‬مَـحَلاً‮ ‬لِـلإقَـامَـة (there is a place for the iqaamah), وَيُـمْكِنُ‮ ‬الْـمَشْوى فِيهِ‮ ‬ (and the habitation is possible whether it is town or a village).

وَأَمَّا آدَابُ‮ ‬الْـجُـمُعَةِ (As for the correct manners with regards to Jumuʿah), فَثَمَانِـيةٌ (they are eight):

الأَوَّلُ‮ ‬‭:‬‮ ‬الْغُسْـلُ‮ ‬لَـهَا (The first of them is major ablution for it) وَهُـوَ‮ ‬سُـنَّة عِـنْدَ‮ ‬الْـجَـمْهُورِ (and it is a sunnah with the people of knowledge) وَمِنْ‮ ‬شُرُوطِهِ (and its conditions are) أَنْ‮ ‬يَكُونَ‮ ‬مُـتَّصِلاً‮ ‬بِـالرّوَاحِ (that it is connected to starting out [for the masjid]), فَـإنِ‮ ‬اغْتَسََـلَ (and if the worshipper made ablution) واشْـتَغَلَ‮ ‬بِغَدَاءٍ‮ ‬أَوْ‮ ‬نَوْمٍ (and then becomes pre-occupied by eating or sleep), أَعَادَ‮ ‬الْغُسْلَ (he should repeat the ablution) عَـلَى الْـمَشْهُورِ (according to what is well known);

The Chapter About سُجُودِ السَّهْوِ (The Prostration For Absent-Mindedness) from Matn al Ashmaawiyyah

The Chapter About سُجُودِ‮ ‬السَّهْوِ (The Prostration For Absent-Mindedness)

وَسُـجُودُ‮ ‬السَّهْوِ (The prostration for absent-mindedness) is سَجْـدَتَـان (two prostrations) قَـبْلَ‮ ‬سـَـلاَمِـهِ (before the worshipper’s salaam). إِنْ‮ ‬نَـقَصَ‮ ‬سُـنَّةً‮ ‬مُـؤَكَّدَةً (if he has omitted a sunnah mu’akkadah), تَشَهَّدُ‮ ‬لَـهُمَا (He also should recites the tashah-hud with the two prostrations)  وَيُسَلِّمُ‮ ‬مِنْهُمَا (and then he pronounces the salaam for them).

وَإِنْ‮ ‬زَادَ (If the worshippers adds something to the prayer), سَجَـدَ‮ ‬بَـعْدَ‮ ‬سَـلاَمِـهِ‮ ‬(he should perform the prostration for absent-mindedness after his salaam). وَإِنْ‮ ‬نَـقَصَ‮ ‬وَزَادَ (If he [both] omits something from the prayer and adds something to the same prayer), سَجَـدَ‮ ‬قَـبْلَ‮ ‬سَـلاَمِـهِ (he should perform sujuudu-s-sahw before his salaam) لِأَنَّهُ‮ ‬يُـغْلَبُ‮ ‬جَنَائِـبَ‮ ‬النَّقْصِ (because the portion he omitted is given precedence) عَلَى جَنَائِبَ‮ ‬الزِّيَادَةِ (over the portion he added).

والسَّاهِـي‮ ‬فِـي‮ ‬صَـلاَتِـهِ (Absent-mindedness of the worshipper in his prayer) عَـلَى ثَـلاَثَـةِ‮ ‬أَقْـسَامٍ (is of three kinds):

It is recited as follows:

اللَّهُمَّّ‮ ‬إِنَّ‮ ‬نَسْتَعِينُكَ‮ ‬وَنَسْتَغٌفِرُكَ‮ ‬وَنُومِنُ‮ ‬بِكَ‮ ‬وَنَتَوَكَّلُ‮ ‬عَلَيْكَ‮ ‬وَنُثْنِي‮ ‬عَلَيْكَ‮ ‬الْـخَيْرَ‮ ‬كُلَّهُ‮ ‬نَشْكُرُكَ‮ ‬وَلاَ‮ ‬نَكْفُرْكَ‮ ‬وَنَخْنَعُ‮ ‬لَكَ‮ ‬وَنَخْلَعُ‮ ‬وَنَتْرُكَ‮ ‬مَنْ‮ ‬يَكْفُرُكَ‮ ‬

Allahumma innaa nastaʿiinuka wa nastagfiruka wa nuuminu bika wa natawakkalu ʿalayka wa nuthnii ʿalayka-l-khayra kulluh nashkuruka wa laa nakfuruka wa nakhnaʿu laka wa nakhlaʿu wa natruku man yakfuruka. O Allah, we seek help from You and ask forgiveness of You; we believe in You and rely on You. We praise You in with all that is good and give thanks to you. we do not disbelieve in you and we humble ourselves before you.  We renounce all other diins we abandon all who reject You.

اللَّهُمَّّ‮ ‬إِيَّاكَ‮ ‬نَعْبُدُ‮ ‬وَلَكَ‮ ‬نُصَلِّّي‮ ‬وَنَسْجُدُ‮ ‬وَإِلَيْكَ‮ ‬نَسْعى وَنَحْفِدُ‮ ‬نَرْجُو رَحْمَتَكَ‮ ‬وَنَخَافُ‮ ‬أَدَابَكَ‮ ‬الْجِدَّ‮ ‬إِنَّ‮ ‬أَذَابَكَ‮ ‬بِالْكَافِرِينَ‮ ‬مُلحِقٌ

Allahumma iyyaaka naʿbudu wa laka nuṣallii wa nasjudu wa ilayka nasʿaa wa naḥfidu narjuu raḥmataka wa nakhaafu adhabaka-l-jidda inna adhaabaka bi-l-kaafiriina mulḥiq. O Allah it is You Whom we worship and to You that we pray and prostrate. It is towards You that we strive and struggle. We hope for Your mercy and fear Your certain punishment. Your punishment will surely come to those who disbelieve. الْـقُنُوت‮ ‬(The Qunuut) is not recited in any other prayer except صَـلاَةُ‮ ‬الصُّبْحِ‮ ‬(the Morning Prayer). It is recited (in the second rakʿah) before going into rukuuʿ (the bowing position) and it is read silently. 10) وَالتَّشَهُّد‮ ‬(The Tashah-hud) is a sunnah. It is recited as follows:

التَّهِيَّاتُ‮ ‬لِلَّهِ‮ ‬الزَّاكِيَّاتُ‮ ‬لِلَّهِ‮ ‬الطَّيِّبَاتُ‮ ‬الصَّلَوَاتُ‮ ‬لِلَّهِ‮ ‬السَّلاَمُ‮ ‬عَلَيْكَ‮ ‬أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ‮ ‬وَرَحْمَةُ‮ ‬اللَّهِ‮ ‬وَبَرَكَاتُهُ‮ ‬السَّلاَمُ‮ ‬عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ‮ ‬اللَّهِ‮ ‬الصَّالِحِينَ‮ ‬أَشْهَدُ‮ ‬أَنْ‮ ‬لاَّ‮ ‬إِلهَ‮ ‬إِلاَّ‮ ‬اللَّهُ‮ ‬وَحْدَهُ‮ ‬لاَ‮ ‬شَرِيكَ‮ ‬لَهُ‮ ‬وَ‮ ‬أَشْهَدُ‮ ‬أَنَّ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ‮ ‬وَرَسُولُهُ

Greetings are for Allah, Good actions are for Allah. good words and prayers are for Allah. Peace be upon you, O Prophet, and the mercy of Messenger of Allah and His blessings. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous slaves of Allah. I bear witness that there is no god except Allah alone without partner and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger. If you say: As salaamu ʿalaykum after this it will suffice (that is to say the recitation of the Tashah-hud would be the last action required before the worshipper close out his prayer with the salaam), however if you desire you can also say (before saying As salaamu ʿalaykum):

أَشْهَدُ‮ ‬أَنَّ‮ ‬الَّذِي‮ ‬جَاءَ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٌ‮ ‬حَقٌّ‮ ‬وَأَنَّ‮ ‬الْجَنَّةَ‮ ‬حَقٌّ‮  ‬وَأَنَّ‮ ‬النَّارَ‮ ‬حَقٌّ‮ ‬وَأَنَّ‮ ‬الصِّرَاطَ‮ ‬حَقٌّ‮ ‬وَأَنَّ‮ ‬السَّاعَةَ‮ ‬آتِيَةٌ‮ ‬لاَرَيْبَ‮ ‬فِيهَا وَأَنَّ‮ ‬اللَّهَ‮ ‬يَبْعَثُ‮ ‬مَنْ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬الْقُبُورِ‮ ‬

I bear witness witness that what Muhammad brought is true. And that the Garden is true. And that the Fire is true. And that the Hour is coming and there is no doubt about it. And that Allah will raise up those in the graves.

اللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬صَلِّي‮ ‬عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬وَارْحَمْ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدًا وَآلَ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬وَبَارِكْ‮ ‬عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٍ‮ ‬كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ‮ ‬وَرَحِمْتَ‮ ‬وَبَارَكْتَ‮ ‬عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ‮ ‬وَعَلَى آلِ‮ ‬إِبْرَاهِيمَ‮ ‬فِي‮ ‬الْعَالََـمِينَ‮ ‬إِنَّكَ‮ ‬حَمِيدٌ‮ ‬مَجِيدٌ

O Allah pray on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and have mercy on Muhammad and the family of Muhammad as you prayed on and had mercy on and blessed Ibrahim and the family of Ibrahim. In all the worlds, You are praiseworthy, glorious.

اللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬صَلِّي‮ ‬عَلَى مَلآئِكَةِ‮ ‬وَالْـمُقَرَّبِينَ‮ ‬وعَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ‮ ‬وَالْـمُرسَلِينَ‮ ‬وَعَلَى أَهْلِ‮ ‬طَعَاتِكَ‮ ‬أَجْمَعِينَ‮ ‬

O Allah, pray on Your angels and those brought near and on Your Prophets and Messengers and on all the people who obey You.

أَللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬اغْفِرْ‮ ‬لِي‮ ‬وَالْـوَالِدَيَّ‮ ‬وَلِأَئِمَّتِنَا وَلِـمَن سَبَقَنَا بِالإيـمَانِ‮ ‬مَغْفِرَتًا عَزْمًا‮ ‬

O Allah, forgive me and my parents and our imams and those who have gone before us with imaan with complete forgiveness.

أَللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬إِنِّي‮ ‬أَسأَلُكَ‮ ‬مِنْ‮ ‬كُلِّ‮ ‬خَيرٍ‮ ‬سَأَلَكَ‮ ‬مِنْهُ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٌ‮ ‬نَيُّكَ‮ ‬صَلَّى اللَّهُ‮ ‬عَلَيهِ‮ ‬وَسَلَّمَ‮ ‬وَأَعُوذُ‮ ‬بِكَ‮ ‬مِنْ‮ ‬كُلُّ‮ ‬شَرٍّ‮ ‬اسْتَعَاذَكَ‮ ‬مِنْهُ‮ ‬مُحَمَّدٌ‮ ‬نَيُّكَ‮ ‬صَلَّى اللَّهُ‮ ‬عَلَيهِ‮ ‬وَسَلَّمَ‮ ‬

O Allah, I ask You for every good thing that Muhammad, Your Prophet, asked You for and I seek refuge in You from every evil that Muhammad, Your Prophet, sought refuge in You from.

أَللَّهُمَّ‮ ‬اغْفِرْ‮ ‬لَنَا مَا قَدَّمْنَا وَمَا أَخَّرْنَا وَمَا أسْرَارنَا وَمَا أَعْلَنَّا وَمَا أَنْتَ‮ ‬أَعْلَمُ‮ ‬بِهِ‮ ‬مِنَّا‮ ‬

O Allah, forgive us for what we have done and for what we have put off doing, for what we have kept hidden and what we have done openly and for what You have more knowledge about than us.
