حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ شَبُّوَيْهِ، قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، قَالَ: نَا أَبِي، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى، وَهُوَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ فُضَيْلِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ:
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُعَلِّمُنَا الِاسْتِخَارَةَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ، فَإِنَّهَا بِيَدِكَ لَا يَمْلِكُهَا أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَتَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الشَّيْءُ الَّذِي يُرِيدُهُ خَيْرًا لِي فَوَفِّقْهُ وَيَسِّرْهُ، وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَاقْضِ لِي بِالْخَيْرِ حَيْثُ كَانَ، فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَتَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us the istikharah: 'O Allah, I seek Your guidance through Your knowledge, and I seek Your power through Your might, and I ask You of Your bounty and mercy, for they are in Your hand; no one but You possesses them. You know and I do not know, and You have power and I have no power, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if this thing that he intends is good for me, then grant it success and make it easy; and if it is otherwise, then decree good for me wherever it may be, for You know and I do not know, and You have power and I have no power, and You are the Knower of the unseen.'
