Salaat-ul Tasbeeh

For Forgiveness of All Sins

Hadith
Prophet Mohammed (SAW) said to his uncle (fathers brother) Sayyiduna Abbass
(may Allah be pleased with him), Oh! Uncle shall I not give you Shall I not grant you
Shall I not award you Shall I not do mercy on you When you do 10 things Allah will forgive
your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten and those you
did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed.
Prophet Mohammed (SAW) then taught him the way to pray Salat-ul Tasbeeh and
then said, If you can pray this salah once a day, if you cannot pray once a day then every
Friday, and even if this is not possible then once a month and even if this is not possible then
once a year and even if this is not possible then at least once in a lifetime.
(AbuDawood & Tirimzi)

Note
Some of the scholars deny the authenticity of Salat-ul Tasbeeh by considering the
ahadit mentioning Salat-ul Tasbeeh as weak [dhaeef] especially Salafi and Wahabi
scholars. However, it is completely authentic and valid. For more clarifications please
