Dua The groom’s supplication on the wedding night or when buying an animal - Dhikr and Dua Hisn al-Muslim

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهَا، وَخَيْرَ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَشَرِّ مَا جَبَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِ (1).

when you marry a woman or buy a maidservant, you should say: Allahumma innee as-aluka khayraha wakhayra ma jabaltaha AAalayh, wa-aAAoothu bika min sharriha washarri ma jabaltaha AAalayh.
‘O Allah, I ask You for the goodness within her and the goodness that you have made her inclined towards, and I take refuge with You from the evil within her and the evil that you have made her inclined towards.’ …and if you buy a camel, then you should take hold of it’s hump and say likewise.


(1) إذا تزوج أحدكم امرأة، أو إذا اشترى خادمًا فليقل، وإذا اشترى بعيرًا فليأخذ بذروة سنامه وليقل مثل ذلك، أبو داود 2/248، وابن ماجه 1/617، وانظر: صحيح ابن ماجه 1/324.
