Jalsa — Sitting between prostrations

Jalsaالْجَلْسَة

Optional

Sitting briefly between the two prostrations and asking Allah for forgiveness, mercy, wellbeing, guidance and provision. The wording here brings together requests found in different narrations (Abū Dāwūd 850, al-Tirmidhī 284, Ibn Mājah 898); no single narration contains all of them.

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي وَعَافِنِي وَاجْبُرْنِي وَارْفَعْنِي وَاهْدِنِي وَارْزُقْنِي

Allahumma ighfir li, warhamni, wa 'afini, wajburni, warfa'ni, wahdini, warzuqni.

O Allah, forgive me, have mercy on me, keep me well, restore me, raise my status, guide me, and provide for me.
