What is the ruling on saying "Rabb ighfir li wa li waalidaya (Lord
forgive me and my parents)" when sitting between the two prostrations?
Is that permissible?.
Praise be to Allaah.
You should adhere to what was narrated of the du'aa' of the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) between the two
prostrations, which is to say, "Rabb ighfir li(Lord forgive me)", as
it was narrated by an-Nasaa'i (1145) and Ibn Maajah (897) from
Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) used to say between the two
prostrations: "Rabb ighfir li, Rabb ighfir li(Lord forgive me, Lord
forgive me)."
It is proven that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) also used to say between the two prostrations: "Allaahumma ighfir
li warhamni wajburni warfa'ni wahdini wa 'aafini warzuqni(O Allaah,
forgive me, have mercy on me, console me, raise me in status, guide
me, grant me well being and grant me provision)."
At-Tirmidhi (284) narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) used
to say between the two prostrations: "Allaahumma ighfir li warhamni
wajburni wahdini warzuqni(O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy on me,
console me, guide me, and grant me provision)."
Abu Dawood (850) narrated it as follows: "Allaahumma ighfir li
warhamni wa 'aafini wahdini warzuqni(O Allaah, forgive me, have mercy
on me, grant me well being, guide me and grant me provision)."
Ibn Maajah (898) narrated it as follows: "Rabb ighfir li warhamni
wajburni warzuqni warfa'ni(O Lord, forgive me, have mercy on me,
console me, grant me provision and raise me in status).
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh at-Tirmidhi.
An-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said inal-Majmoo'(3/414): With
regard to the hadeeth of Ibn 'Abbaas, it was narrated by Abu Dawood,
at-Tirmidhi and others with a jayyid isnaad. It was narrated by
al-Haakim inal-Mustadrakand he said: Its isnaad is saheeh. He quoted
the different versions then he said: To be on the safe side, the best
option is to combine all the reports and say all the phrases
mentioned, of which there are seven: "Allaahumma ighfir li warhamni wa
'aafini wajburni warfa'ni wahdini warzuqni(O Allaah, forgive me, have
mercy on me, grant me well being, console me, raise me in status,
guide me and grant me provision)." End quote.
With regard to adding to this du'aa', what appears to be the case is
that it is permissible, but it is preferable to keep to what has been
narrated and to offer du'aa' for one's parents in prostration or
before saying the salaam at the end of the prayer. Muslim (479)
narrated from Ibn 'Abbaas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
"…as for prostrating, strive in du'aa', for it is deserving of a
response (from your Lord)."
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Then he should
rise from prostration, saying "Allahu akbar (Allah is most great),"
and sit muftarishan, which means sitting on the left foot and holding
the right foot upright, placing his right hand on his right thigh or
on his knee, extending his fingers over his knee, and placing his left
hand on his left thigh or his left knee, extending his fingers over
it. This is the Sunnah. And he should say: "Rabb ighfir li, Rabb
ighfir li, Rabb ighfir li(Lord forgive me, Lord forgive me, Lord
forgive me), as the Messenger (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) used to do. And it is mustahabb to say in addition to
that:Allahumma ighfir li warhamni wahdini wajburni warzuqni wa
'aafini(O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, guide me, console me,
grant me provision and grant me well being), because that is proven
from the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). And if he
says more than that, there is nothing wrong with it, such as if he
says, "Allahumma ighfir li wa li waalidayya(O Allah, forgive me and my
parents)" or "Allaahumma adkhilni al-Jannah wa anjini min an-naar(O
Allah, admit me to Paradise and save me from Hell)" or "Allaahumma
aslih qalbi wa 'amali(O Allah, make my heart and my actions righteous)
and so on. But he should ask a great deal for forgiveness between the
two prostrations, as was narrated from the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him).
