Baab Nikah-Shadi Biah, Ke Ehkaam O Masail

It was narrated that Jabir bin 'Abdullah said: The Messenger of Allah used to teach his Companions to perform Istikharah in all matters, just as he used to teach them Surahs from the Qur'an. He said: 'If any one of you is deliberating about a decision he has to make, then let him pray two Rak'ahs of non-obligatory prayer, then say: Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi 'ilmika wa astaqdiruka bi qudratika wa as'aluka min fadlika, fa innaka taqdiru wa la aqdir, wa ta'lamu wa la a'lam, wa anta 'allam al-ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadhal-amra khayrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa aqibati amri faqdurhu li wa yassirhu li thumma barik li fihi. Allahumma, wa in kunta ta'lamu annahu sharrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati amri fasrifhu 'anni wasrifni 'anhu waqdur li al-khayr haythu kana, thumma radini bihi. (O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. You have power, I have none. And You know, I know not. You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if in Your knowledge, this matter (then it should be mentioned by name) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood and my affairs (or: both in this world and in the Hereafter), then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if in Your knowledge it is bad for me and for my religion, my livelihood and my affairs (or: for me both in this world and the next), then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it.)

جابر بن عبداللہ رضی الله عنہما کہتے ہیں کہ   رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ہمیں تمام امور ( و معاملات ) میں استخارہ کرنے کی تعلیم دیتے تھے، جیسا کہ ہمیں قرآن کی سورتیں سکھاتے تھے، فرماتے: جب تم میں سے کوئی کسی ( اچھے ) کام کا ارادہ کرے تو فرض ( اور اس کے توابع ) کے علاوہ دو رکعتیں پڑھے پھر ( دعا کرتے ہوئے ) کہے: «اللہم إني أستخيرك بعلمك وأستعينك بقدرتك وأسألك من فضلك العظيم فإنك تقدر ولا أقدر وتعلم ولا أعلم وأنت علام الغيوب اللہم إن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر خير لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري - أو قال في عاجل أمري وآجله - فاقدره لي ويسره لي ثم بارك لي فيه وإن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر شر لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري - أو قال في عاجل أمري وآجله - فاصرفه عني واصرفني عنه واقدر لي الخير حيث كان ثم أرضني به» ”اے اللہ! میں تیرے علم کی برکت سے تجھ سے بھلائی اور خیر کا طالب ہوں اور تیری قدرت کا واسطہ دے کر تیری مدد کا چاہتا ہوں اور تیرے عظیم فضل کا طالب ہوں کیونکہ تو قدرت والا ہے، میں قدرت والا نہیں، تو ( اچھا و برا سب ) جانتا ہے، میں نہیں جانتا، تو ہی غیب کی باتوں کو جانتا ہے، اللہ! اگر تو جانتا ہے کہ یہ معاملہ، ( پھر متعلق کام یا چیز کا نام لے ) میرے لیے میرے دین، دنیا اور کے اعتبار سے، یا یہ کہا: اس دار فانی اور اخروی زندگی کے اعتبار سے بہتر ہے تو اس کام کو میرے لیے مقدر کر دے اور اس کا حصول میرے لیے آسان کر دے اور مجھے اس میں برکت دے۔ اور اگر تو جانتا اور سمجھتا ہے کہ یہ کام میرے لیے برا ہے، میرے دین، دنیا اور انجام کار کے لحاظ سے یا اس دار فانی اور اخروی زندگی کے لحاظ سے تو اس کام کو مجھ سے دور رکھ اور مجھے اس سے بچا لے۔ اور بھلائی جہاں بھی ہو اسے میرے لیے مقدر فرما دے اور مجھے اس پر راضی و خوش رکھ“۔ آپ نے فرمایا: ” ( دعا کرتے وقت ) اپنی ضرورت کا نام لے“۔

Sunan Ibn Majah Hadith No. 1557

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “When the Prophet (ﷺ) died, there was a man in Al-Madinah who used to make a niche in the grave and another who used to dig graves without a niche. They said: ‘Let us pray Istikharah to our Lord and call for them both, and whichever of them comes first, we will let him do it.’ So they were both sent for, and the one who used to make the niche-grave came first, so they made a niche-grave for the Prophet (ﷺ).”

Allahumma in kunta ta’lamu hadhal-amra (then the matter should be mentioned by name) ma kan min shay’in khairan li fi dini wa ma’ashi wa ‘aqibati amri, aw khairanli fi ‘ajili amri wa ajilihi, faqdurhu li wa yassirhu li wa barik li fihi. Wa in kunta ta’lamu [O Allah, I seek Your guidance (in making a choice) by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability by virtue of Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty.

And if in Your knowledge]. Then saying similar to what he said the first time, except: Wa in kana sharran li fasrifhu ‘anni wasrifni ‘anhu waqdur li al-khair haithuma kana thumma raddini bihi (If it is bad for me then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and ordain for me the good wherever it may be and make me pleased with it).’”

Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 7390

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: As-Salami: Allah's Apostle used to teach his companions to perform the prayer of Istikhara for each and every matter just as he used to teach them the Suras from the Qur'an He used to say, If anyone of you intends to do some thing, he should offer a two rak`at prayer other than the compulsory prayers, and after finishing it, he should say: O Allah! I consult You, for You have all knowledge, and appeal to You to support me with Your Power and ask for Your Bounty, for You are able to do things while I am not, and You know while I do not; and You are the Knower of the Unseen. O Allah If You know It this matter (name your matter) is good for me both at present and in the future, (or in my religion), in my this life and in the Hereafter, then fulfill it for me and make it easy for me, and then bestow Your Blessings on me in that matter. O Allah! If You know that this matter is not good for me in my religion, in my this life and in my coming Hereafter (or at present or in the future), then divert me from it and choose for me what is good wherever it may be, and make me be pleased with it. (See Hadith No. 391, Vol. 8)

Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 1166

Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara (Istikhara means to ask Allah to guide one to the right sort of action concerning any job or a deed), in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Qur'an. He said, If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two rak`at prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer): -- 'Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi'ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa as'alaka min fadlika Al-`azlm Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala aqdiru, Wa ta'lamu Wala a'lamu, Wa anta 'allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta'lam anna hadha-lamra Khairun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa'aqibati `Amri (or 'ajili `Amri wa'ajilihi) Faqdirhu wa yas-sirhu li thumma barik li Fihi, Wa in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha-lamra shar-run li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa'aqibati `Amri (or fi'ajili `Amri wa ajilihi) Fasrifhu anni was-rifni anhu. Waqdir li al-khaira haithu kana Thumma ardini bihi.' (O Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge, And Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter--(or said: If it is better for my present and later needs)--Then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter--(or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs)--Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me, And make me satisfied with it). The Prophet added that then the person should name (mention) his need.

Sahih Bukhari Hadith No. 6382

Allahumma in kunta ta'lamu anna hadha-lamra khairun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati `Amri (or said, fi 'ajili `Amri wa ajilihi) fa-qdurhu li, Wa in kunta ta'lamu anna ha-dha-l-amra sharrun li fi dini wa ma'ashi wa 'aqibati `Amri (or said, fi ajili `Amri wa ajilihi) fasrifhu 'anni was-rifni 'anhu wa aqdur li alkhaira haithu kana, thumma Raddani bihi, Then he should mention his matter (need).
