Volume 2, Book 22, Number 308:
Narrated Jabir bin ‘Abdullah:
Allah’s Apostle sent me for some job and when I had finished it I returned and came to the Prophet
and greeted him but he did not return my greeting. So I felt so sorry that only Allah knows it and I
said to myself,, ‘Perhaps Allah’s Apostle is angry because I did not come quickly, then again I greeted
him but he did not reply. I felt even more sorry than I did the first time. Again I greeted him and he
returned the greeting and said, “The thing which prevented me from returning the greeting was that
I was praying.” And at that time he was on his Rahila and his face was not towards the Qibla.

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara (Istikhara means to ask Allah to

prayer other than the compulsory ones and say (after the prayer): — ‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka
bi’ilmika, Wa astaqdiruka bi-qudratika, Wa as’alaka min fadlika al-‘azlm Fa-innaka taqdiru Wala
aqdiru, Wa ta’lamu Wala a’lamu, Wa anta ‘allamu l-ghuyub. Allahumma, in kunta ta’lam anna

and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsist –

it for me and make it easy for me to get, And then bless me in it, and if You know that this job is
harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter–(or said: If it is worse for my
present and later needs)–Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me
whatever is good for me, And make me satisfied with it). The Prophet added that then the person
should name (mention) his need.
