Upon Entering a Market Place

Authentic Supplications of the Prophet

Upon Entering a Market Place (255)

The Messenger of Allah

said:"Whoever enters the marketplace and says:Lã 'ilãha 'illã 'allãhu wahdahu lã shareeka lahu, lahul mulku, wa lahul hamdu, yuhyee wa yumeetu, wa huwa hayyun lã yamootu, biyadihil khayru, wa huwa 'alã kulli shay'in qadeerun⁽²⁵⁹⁾

Allah would write for him one thousand thousand merits, would remit from him one thousand thousand sins,and would raise for him [his status] one thousand thousand levels".

Footnotes

⁽²⁵⁹⁾ There is no 'ilãh except Allah, no partner does He have; his is the Kingdom, and to Him is all Praise; He livens, and mortifies; and He is alive; never to die. In his Hand is all good, and He is well able to do everything.

Reporters

Reported by At-Tirmithi. Al-Albãni said that At-Tirmithi weakened it by saying that it was a "strange" hadeeth. A strange hadeeth is one that is reported by only one person at some of its links; however he said it becomes comely when all of its channels are considered. Specifically he referred to Al-Hãkim's (528-539/1),Ibn As-Sunni's (#178), and Imãm Ahmad's Az-zuhd (#214). He also said that Al-Munthiree said it was comely in At-Targheeb. Albãni included this hadeeth in The Authentic of Good Sayings as #183.
