another short dua for for fulfilment of needs (hajaat)
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ لَا يَنْسٰي مَنْ ذَكَرَہٗ، وَ لَا یَخِیْبُ مَنْ دَعَاہُ وَ لَا یَقْطَعُ رَجَاءَ مَنْ رَجَاہُ.
al-hamdo lillaahil lazee laa yansaa man zakarahu, wa laa yakheebo man da-a’a-ho wa laa yaqta-o’ rajaa-a man rajaa-ho
Praise be to Allah, who does not forget those, who remember Him and does not disappoint, whose who call Him; and does not cut off the hope of those who hope in Him.
It is narrated from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) that he taught Ali and Fatima and said: Pray two units of Prayer and in each unit recite Surah Fatiha and Ayatal Kursi three times and Surah Tauheed three times, and last verses of Surah Hashr three times from the words: “Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain…till the end.
When he sits, he recites the Tasha-hud and glorifies Allah and invokes blessings on the Prophet and pray for the believing men and women; then supplicates for its effect: Then he says:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ اِسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ، يَحِقُّ عَلَيْكَ فِيْهِ اِجَابَةُ الدُّعَاءِ اِذَا دُعِيْتَ بِهٖ، وَ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ ذِيْ حَقٍّ عَلَيْكَ.
allaahumma innee as-aloka be-haqqe kulle ismin howa laka, yahiqqo a’layka feehe ejaabatut do-a’a-e ezaa do-e’eta behi, wa as-aloka be-haqqe kulle zee haqqin a’layka.
O Allah, indeed I ask You by the right of all the names that are yours; and which have right upon You to accept supplication, when You are called through it. And I ask You by the right of all who have right upon You.
وَ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلٰى جَمِيْعِ مَا هُوَ دُوْنَكَ اَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِيْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
wa as-aloka be-haqqeka a’laa jamee-e’ maa howa doonaka an taf-a’la bee kazaa wa kazaa.
And I ask You by your right upon all those other than You that You do for me so and so.
