Salat al-Tasbeeh (صلاة التسبيح)
Salat al-Tasbeeh: A Prayer of Forgiveness and Blessings
Salat al-Tasbeeh is a special voluntary prayer (nafl) taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to his uncle, Abbas ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA). It is called “Tasbeeh” because it includes repeated recitation of words glorifying Allah during the prayer.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“O Abbas, O my uncle! Shall I not give you a gift? Shall I not do something for you? Shall I not benefit you? Shall I not tell you of 10 things which, if you do them, Allah will forgive your sins – the first and last of them, the old and new, the unintentional and intentional, the small and great, the secret and open?”
(Narrated by Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi, Ibn Majah – classed Hasan by some scholars)
