family and neighbors.
Hazrat Salman-e-Muhammadi
narrates that the Noble Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.) said: “O Salman,
whoever recites 10 rakat salat
on the first day of Rajab, 15th day
of Rajab and the last day of
Rajab and in each rakat recite
Surah al-Fateha once, Surah
Iqlas three times, and Surah
Kafiroon three times and after
Salaam read the supplications
(Arabic version may be seen in
Mafatih-al-Jinan of Shaykh Qummi)
on each of the three days, and
pray for his needs, your
supplication will be accepted
and will create 70 trenches
between you and the Hell-Fire,
the distance between each trench
will be like it is between
Heaven and Earth, and will be
written for you freedom from
Hell-Fire and from crossing the
Bridge on Siraat.”
Amal –e-Umme Daood is performed
on the 15th Rajab.
One should fast on the 13th,
14th, and 15th of
Rajab which are called the “Ayyam
al-Bayz”
Aa’maal of 1st Rajab: Keep
fast on this day, take a shower,
wear new clothes, recite Ziayrat-e-Imam
Husayn (a.s.), and read the
“Namaz of Salman Muhammadi” as
stated above.
Aa’maal of the night of 7th Rajab:
The Noble Prophet (s.a.w.a.s.)
said: “If a person recites 4
raka’at namaz such that after
Surah al-Hamd recites Surah
al-Tawheed three times, and
recites Surah al-Falaq and Surah
al-Naas once. After finishing
namaz, recites Salawaat and 10
times Tasbeehat-e-Arba’a. Allah
will offer him shelter under the
Arsh and give him the reward of
fasting one month of Ramazaan.
The angels will pray for his
forgiveness till he completes
the namaz. Allah will ease the
pangs of death on him and save
him from the squeeze in the
grave. He will not die unless he
sees his place in the Paradise
and will be safe from the
hardships of Qiyamat.
A’amaal of the 15th night
(night between 14 and 15) of
Rajab: Take
a shower and spend the night in
Ibadah. Recite Ziarat-e-Imam
Husayn (a.s.). Dau’d bin Sarhan
reported from Imam Jafar
al-Sadiq (a.s.) that 12 raka’at
namaz be performed and after
finishing the namaz, recite 4
times: Surah al-Hamd, Surah al-Falaq,
Surah al-Naas, Surah Ikhlas, and
Ayatal Kursi.
