Namaz of the Hungry

نماز گرسنہ

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said:

He who feels hungry may do the ritual ablution (wudu’) and offer a two-unit prayer, after which he may pray Almighty Allah, saying:

يَا رَبِّ اِنِّىْ جَاۤئِعٌ فَاَطْعِمْنِىْ۔

O my Lord! I am hungry; so, (please) give food to me.

پروردگارا! میں بھوکا ہوں مجھے کھانا دے۔

According to another tradition, the supplication is as follows:

رَبِّ اَطْعِمْنِىْ فَاِنِّىْ جَاۤئِعٌ۔

My Lord! Give food to me, for I am hungry.

اے پروردگار! مجھے کھانا دے کہ میں بھوکا ہوں۔

If he does so, Almighty Allah will immediately give him food.
