Supplications in Arabic

[slm],
I am trying to learn supplications that the Prophet Muhammad  [saw] made for various occassions.  I have some books that have these supplications translated in English, but I much prefer the Arabic.  

What supplications are there for example:
1.  When you look in a mirror?
2.  When you put on new clothes?
3.  When you get in your car?

I know when you enter the bathroom you say:  "Allahumma, audhu bika minal khubuthi wal khabaaith."
What do you say when you leave the bathroom?

Your help will be much appreciated.  Thank you.

slm,

That site should help. About leaving the bathroom, I remember my aunt told me to say Alhamdulilah Salamtani Ya Allah. You should walk in with your left foot and walk out with your right foot.

I'm not good with transliteration spellings, but I sounded it out.

Thank you so much for your help.  But what does "Salamtani Ya Allah" mean?

actually, for leaving the bathroom, there are two duas, any one will do:

1. ÛÝÑÇäß

ghufraanaka

(Oh Allah!) I seek Your forgiveness

(Tirmizee)

2. ÇáÍãÏ ááå ÇáÐì ÇÐåÈ Úäì ÇáÇÐÇì  æ ÚÇÝÇäì
alhamdu lillahillazee azhaba 3annil azaa wa  3afaani

in the ÇáÇÐÇì above, the alif before the ya is actually above the ya, but i cannot get my online keyboard to do that.

all praise is for Allah only, who threw out filth from me, and gave me relief

(ibn-e-Maaja)

i think  ÚÇÝíÉ has a better translation, but maybe someone will help, or there should be an on-line arabic-english dictionary. when i locate it, i will post the exact menaing of  ÚÇÝíÉ

in case you are interested, you can use the following arabic keyboard:

and let us try to translate "Salamtani Ya Allah"

Allah, we all know :)

Ya is used when we call someone, also used in Urdu and Hindi, and probably other Indian languages

Salamtani

let us break this word up. Salam you know = peace, tranquility,
tani = you give me

so it is Oh Allah! (you) give me peace

but i am not sure if this is a sunnah dua.

slm,

Thanks for the duas. I'm not sure if it is a sunnah dua either. I was told it is good to say that because it is like saying Thank you Allah for giving me Peace. I would go with the duas Bro Timbuktu gave though.

I think saying “Ghufraanak” (I seek forgiveness) is a Sunna as brother Timbuktu mentioned, and the most common saying when leaving the bathroom, with your right foot first (you enter the bathroom with your left foot first).

Wa Allahu Allam (And Allah knows best).

I love the supplications.  But I was wondering why we say "Ghufranaka?".  One sister asked me and I didn't know what to tell her.

[slm] i am a little lucky, despite opting for Farsi instead of Arabic at school, my mothertongue gives me enough edge to be able to understand some arabic.

If you can read the arabic script, it will be easier to understand.

Whether you can do that or not, try to get a copy of the Quran which has word by word (or phrase by phrase) translation. After a few readings, one can follow the Quran to some extent without recourse to translations of the meanings, and one can have some idea of the meanings of arabic words one does not know.

for example: gufraanaka = gufraan + aka

"gufraan" comes from Gaffar which is Allah's name, The Forgiver. I would guess that gufraan means "forgiveness"

aka = Your

so (I ask) Your forgiveness

caution: this is just a guesswork. One should still ask someone knowledgable to give proer translations.

I think now i will go to the site in this thread, and see if my translations of the duas are correct, and modify accordingly. I have already put Oh Allah in brackets because in gufraanaka, it is implied, not spoken.

Here it is:

It is reported by way of `A'ishaa  that the Prophet  was such that if he came out of the privy, he would say Ghufranaka

[I ask] Your forgiveness.

Reporters
'Al-`Adwee said it was sound and that it was reported by Imãm Ahmad, page 155 of volume 6 of his Musnad; Abu Dawood, Ibn Majah, #300; At-Tirmithi, page 48 of volume 1, and Ibn As-Sunni #23. At-Tirmithi said it was comely. _________

Oh. I see, you are asking why ask for forgiveness?

good question

please do not learn arabic from my posts here. I simple try to inter- and extra- polate, and can make mistake. for example:

i said:

[quote]gufraanaka = gufraan + aka

"gufraan" comes from Gaffar which is Allah's name, The Forgiver. I would guess that gufraan means "forgiveness"

aka = Your [/quote]

actually i should have broken this as:

gufraanaka = gufraana + ka

where have our arabic teachers, or those better informed than me on arabic gone?

I had gone to the masjed the other day and I saw on the wall the supplication you say when you leave the bathroom.  You say Ghufranaka, but it is part of a longer supplication.  I can't remember the rest , but it said something like pardon me Allah, who has taken away harm from me and given me relief.

I don't remember the Arabic.  Sorry.

hope this clears it up. You can ask the people at the masjed :)
