The Daily Traditions and Supplications of The Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him)
Introduction of the Author
All praise is due to Allāh, Who says, “Indeed, in the Messenger of Allāh
(i.e. Muhammad r [Peace and Blessings be Upon Him]) you have a good
example to follow, for those who hope for the meeting with Allāh and the last
day and remember Allāh abundantly.” (Soorat Ul-Ahzāb, Verse 21) . Thus, Allāh has
legislated following the Sunnah of the Prophet r . May peace and blessings
of Allāh be upon the best of those who guided the Ummah to perfection of
worship and compliance with the Sunnah.
Respected readers, I hereby place before you “The Daily Traditions of The
Prophet PBUH”, in which I gathered the daily traditions of the Prophet r
(i.e. Sunan), since waking up from sleep in the early morning, until going to
sleep at night, presented in sequence of time during the day. I then followed
these by some other daily traditions of the Prophet r that are not related to a
specific time of the day. By Sunnah I mean practices that are recommended
but not obligatory; those which Allāh ordered us to perform to seek perfection
and promote obedience.
This book is a summary of the original book entitledالمنح العَليَّة في بيَانِ السُّننِ اليَوْمِيَّة
“The Supreme Blessings in Illustration of the Daily Sunan”.
This summarized version simply presents each Sunnah along with its proof.
As advised by some of our brothers, discussions of elaborated aspects of
knowledge and detailed conclusions are omitted from this summarized
version of the book. Thus, this book should help those who might not have the
luxury of time or effort to read the original book, and should allow interested
organizations of Da‘wah to print and widely distribute the book.
The purpose of illustrating the daily traditions of the Prophet r is to
appropriately demonstrate his authentic traditions, which, unfortunately, have
been misinterpreted by the West. In addition, we hope to remind those who
abandon these traditions based on the argument that they are not obligatory, and
help them avoid depriving themselves from the great rewards of performing
these practices of Sunnah. I have done my best to illustrate these authentic
daily traditions of the Prophet r along with their proofs and references, and I
ask Allāh, the Almighty, to make us of the sincere followers of the guidance
of the Prophet r , and of those who follow his trace and accompany him on
the day of resurrection.
