حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْجَوْهَرِيِّ ثنا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْهَيْثَمِ الْأَنْطَاكِيُّ ثنا صَالِحُ بْنُ مُوسَى الطَّلْحِيُّ عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ
عَلَّمَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الِاسْتِخَارَةَ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَلْيَقُلِ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ؛ فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَتقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ فَإِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الَّذِي أُرِيدُ خَيْرًا فِي دِينِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ خَيْرًا لِي فَاقْدِرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَعْزِمُ

✧ The Messenger of God ﷺ taught us the istikhārah (prayer for guidance). He said: “When one of you wants to do something, let him say: 'O God, I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge, and I seek ability by Your power, and I ask You of Your great bounty. 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. If this matter which I intend is good for my religion and for the outcome of my affairs, then make it easy for me. And if something else is better for me, then decree for me the good wherever it may be.' He says that, then he resolves.”
