أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عِيسَى الْحِيرِيُّ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ نَجْدَةَ ثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ثنا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي الْوَلِيدٍ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ أَيُّوبَ بْنَ خَالِدِ بْنِ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ
اكْتُمِ الْخِطْبَةَ ثُمَّ تَوَضَّأْ فَأَحْسِنْ وُضُوءَكَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكَ ثُمَّ احْمَدْ رَبَّكَ وَمَجِّدْهُ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ لِي فُلَانَةً تُسَمِّيهَا بِاسْمِهَا خَيْرًا لِي فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْدُرْهَا لِي وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُهَا خَيْرًا لِي مِنْهَا فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ وَآخِرَتِي فَاقْضِ لِي بِهَا أَوْ قُلْ «فَاقْدُرْهَا لِي» هَذِهِ سُنَّةُ صَلَاةِ الِاسْتِخَارَةِ عَزِيزَةٌ تَفَرَّدَ بِهَا أَهْلُ مِصْرَ ورُوَاتُهُ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ ثِقَاتٌ وَلَمْ يُخَرِّجَاهُ

✧ Keep the proposal secret, then perform wudu' and perfect your wudu', then pray what Allah has decreed for you, then praise your Lord and extol Him, then say: 'O Allah, You are able and I am not able, You know and I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. If You see that [name of woman]—naming her—is good for me in my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then decree her for me; and if someone other than her is better for me than her in my religion, my worldly life, and my Hereafter, then decree her for me,' or say: 'then decree her for me.' This is the Sunnah of the prayer of Istikharah, rare, unique to the people of Egypt, and its narrators to the last are trustworthy, but they did not include it in the two Sahihs.
