Question

Also kindly provide the English translation, and the Source of these Du?aas if taken from Ahadeeth.

Answer

Sayyidatuna Aaisha (Radhiallaahu Anha) narrates that I saw Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) whilst he was in his last illness, he had a utensil of water near him and he used to immerse his hand into the utensil and then wipe his face with the water.

Then Nabi (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) used to make this Du?aa, ?Allaahumma a-inniy alaa ghamaraatil mawt wa sakaraatil mawt.? (O Allah, assist me against the difficulties and agonies of death). (Tirmidhi vol.1 pg.192; HM Saeed)

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
