So we beseech You to send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad,	an tus’al-liya a’laa muh’ammadiw-wa aa-li muh’ammadin	أَنْ تُصَلّـِيَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
and honour Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhamamad,	wa an tubaarika a’laa muh’ammadin-wa aa-li muh’ammadin	وَأَنْ تُبارِكَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
and have mercy on Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad,	wa tarah'amma a’laa muh’ammadin-wa aa-li muh’ammadin	وَتَرَحَّمَ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
with the blessings, honour, and mercy	kaaf-z”ali maa s’al-layta wa baarak-ta wa tarah’-h’am-ta	كَأَفْضَلِ ما صَلَّيْتَ وَبارَكْتَ وَتَرَحَّمْتَ
you sent and bestowed on Abraham and the progeny of Abraham.	a’laaa ib-raaheema wa aa-li ib raheem	عَلىٰ إِبْراهيمَ وَآلِ إِبْراهيمَ
Surely You are Praiseworthy, Glorious,	in-naka h’ameedum-majeed	إِنَّكَ حَميدٌ مَجيدٌ
the Doer of what You will.	faa’aalul-limaa tureed	فَعّالٌ لِما تُريدُ
You are Powerful over all things	wa anta a’laa kul-li shay-in qadeerun	وَأَنْتَ عَلىٰ كُلّ ِ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ

 

Now one should express his legitimate desire and beseech Allah to fulfill it, then recite the following:

and mention your legitimate desires

Just before sunset when Friday is getting over say "Subhaanaka laa ilaaha illaa anta yaa hannaanu yaa mannaanu yaa badeeussamaawaati wal arz yaa dal jalaali wal ikraam "

Shaykh al-±£s¢ has mentioned that the last hour of Friday, which lasts to sunset, is the hour in which prayers are responded. Therefore, it is required to pray Almighty Allah insistently at that hour. It has been also narrated that this hour begins when half of the sun disk sets and the other half only remains visible. Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡', peace be upon her, used to pray Almighty Allah at this hour so that her prayers be answered. It is also recommended to say the following litany that is reported from the Holy Prophet, peace be upon him and his Household:

سُبْحَانَكَ لاَ إِلٰهَ إِلاَّ انْتَ	sub¦¡naka l¡ il¡ha ill¡anta	Glory be to You! There is no god save You!
يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ	y¡ ¦ann¡nu y¡ mann¡nu	O All-tender! O All-bestower!
يَا بَدِيعَ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلارْضِ	y¡ bad¢`a alssam¡w¡ti wal-ar¤i	O Fashioner of the heavens and the earth!
يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَلِ وَٱلإكْرَامِ	y¡ dhaljal¡li wal-ikr¡mi	O Lord of Majesty and Honor.
