The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and grant
him peace) said, 'If anyone recites this prayer once, Allah will write for him
the reward of an accepted hajj and the reward of someone who frees a slave from
the descendants of Isma'il, peace be upon him." Allah Almighty says, 'O My
angels, this is one of My slaves who does much blessing of My beloved, Mohammed,
so by My Might, My Majesty, My Generosity, My Glory and My Height, for every
letter he prays I will give him a castle in the Garden, and he will come to Me
on the Day of Resurrection under the Banner of Praise. The light of his face
will be like the full moon and his hand will be in the hand of My beloved,
Mohammed." This is for whoever says it every Friday. He has this favour,
and Allah possesses great favour.

carries of Your sublimity, power, majesty, radiance and power, and by Your
concealed guarded name by which You named Yourself and revealed it in Your Book,

master Mohammed, Your slave and Messenger, and I ask You by Your name which when
You are called by it, You answer, and when You are asked by it, You give. I ask
You by the name which You placed over the night so that it darkens and over the
