Salaat-ul Tasbeeh

For Forgiveness of All Sins

Hadith Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said to his uncle (father’s brother) Sayyiduna Abbass

(may Allah be pleased with him), “Oh! Uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you

Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive

your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you

did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed.”

Prophet Mohammed (SAW) then taught him the way to pray Salat-ul Tasbeeh and

then said, “If you can pray this salah once a day, if you cannot pray once a day then every

Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then

once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime.”

(Abu’Dawood & Tirimzi)

20 times after Ruku in Qayam instead of just 10 times.

sajadahs.

ahadit mentioning Salat-ul Tasbeeh as weak [dha’eef] especially Salafi and Wahabi

scholars. However, it is completely authentic and valid. For more clarifications please
