ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH
The SHORTEST BUT POWERFUL PRAYER
Do you know it ???..
Al-Abbas (R.A.), the uncle of the Prophet (pbuh), came to the Prophet (PBUH) and said:
“Ya Rasulullah, teach me a du'a.”
The Prophet ( PBUH) said:
“O my uncle, say:
ALLAHUMMA INNI AS' ALUKA AL'AFIYAH
(O Allah, I ask you for afiyah).
Now what is Afiyah?
Afiyah means -
● To be saved from any afflictions, you are in afiyah.
● To be healthy, you are in afiyah.
● To have enough money, you are in afiyah.
● To live, you are in afiyah.
● To have your children protected, you are in afiyah.
●And if you are forgiven and not punished, you are in afiyah.
So basically, Afiyah means:
“O Allah, protect me from any pain and sufferings.”
This includes both dun'ya and akhirah.
Al-Abbas (R.A.) thought about this for a while, and then he came back after a few days and said (paraphrased):
“Ya Rasulullah, this du'a seems a little short. I want something big.”
The Prophet (PBUH) said:
“My dear uncle, ask Allah for Afiyah for Wallahi, you cannot be given anything better than afiyah.”
It is a simple du'a.
Sincerely mean what you say while praying.
“O Allah, I ask You to be saved from any:
distress,
grief,
hardship,
harm, and
don't test me, etc.”
All of this is included in
“Allahumma inni as'aluka al'afiyah”
(Riyadh As Saliheen, Sunan At-Tirmidhi).
Make sure to share this to others and tell your friends:
Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said :
“Convey from me, even if it is one verse.”
May ALLAH accept all our prayers.
Ameen.
