Messenger of
Allah (s) emerged from his house on Sunday the 2nd of Zilqad and said: O people! Who among you
intends to perform Tawbah?
The
people replied: All of us would like to do Tawbah.
The
Messenger of Allah (s) said: Perform the Ghusl (bath)
and Wuzu (ablution) and recite four rakats prayer. In each rakat after Surah
Hamd recite Surah Tawheed thrice and Surah Falaq and Surah Naas once each and
after the prayer do Isteghfar and then say: Laa hawla wa laa quwwata illa
billaahil a'liyyil a'zeem. Then say: Yaa A'zeezo yaa ghaffooro ighfirli zunoobi
wa zunooba Jamee'il mo-mineena wal mo-minaate. Fa innahu laa yaghfiro illa ant.
And the Holy
Prophet (s.) said: No servant of my Ummat performs this prayer that a caller
does not call out from the sky: O slave of Allah! This
deed has been elevated and your repentance (Tawbah) has been accepted and your
sins are forgiven. An angel will call out beneath the heavens: O slave of Allah! Congratulations to you and your family
members.
An
angel would call out: Your enemy would be satisfied with you on the day of
Judgment. Another angel would call out: O slave of Allah! You would leave this world with faith. You
would not be arrested. Your grave shall be expansive and illuminated.
Another
angel would call out: O slave of Allah! Your parents
are happy with you though they were dissatisfied with you before. Your parents
and your descendants shall get salvation and there shall be increase in the
livelihood in the world and the hereafter.
Hazrat
Jibraeel (a.s.) would call out: At the time of
death I would come with the Angel of death and would be kind to you and you
shall not have any problem. Your body would not be pained at the time the soul
is taken out.
The people
asked: O Messenger of Allah (s.), how should one
perform this if one desires to perform it in any other month? The
Prophet (s.) replied: In the same way with the merits. And said: Jibraeel has
taught me these words on the night of ascension (Shab-e-Me'raj).(Ref;dua.org)
