Prayer of the Prophet (s) (Arabic: صلاة النبي) is a two-Rak'a recommended prayer attributed to the Prophet (s) which is recommended for forgiveness of sins and the fulfillment of needs. The characteristic of this prayer is reciting Sura al-Qadr 15 times in different positions (210 times in total). A specific supplication is recited after finishing the prayer.

This prayer can be performed at any time of the day or night and is not limited to a specific time.

Importance

The Prayer of the Prophet (s) is a well-known prayer mentioned by both Shi'a and Sunni scholars in their books.[1] Sayyid b. Tawus in the book Jamāl al-usbū', has narrated a narration from Imam al-Rida (a) in which a person asks about the Ja'far al-Tayyar Prayer. In response, the Imam (a) recommends the Prayer of the Prophet (s) and states:

"When you finish the prayer, no sin remains upon you unless it has been forgiven, and any need you ask for will be fulfilled."[2]

Time of Performance

According to Allama Majlisi, although some sources consider the Prayer of the Prophet (s) as one of the prayers specific to Friday, such an understanding cannot be derived from narrations. In his view, this prayer is Mustahabb and can be performed on all days of the week, not just on Friday.[3]

Method

The Prayer of the Prophet (s) consists of two Rak'as, and Sura al-Qadr is recited 105 times in total in each rak'a. In each of the following positions, Sura al-Qadr is recited 15 times:

  1. After reciting Sura al-Fatiha
  2. In Ruku'
  3. After Ruku' (while standing)
  4. In the first Sujud
  5. After raising the head from the first Sujud (while sitting)
  6. In the second Sujud
  7. After raising the head from the second Sujud (while sitting)

Then, Tashahhud and Salam are performed, followed by this supplication:
