The Mustajab Times for Praying - God gives each time with different
virtues and glory, among which there are certain times that are very good for
praying. But most people waste that good opportunity.
They think that all the time has the same value and no different. For
every Muslim should take the prime and noble time to pray for success, fortune,
victory and salvation.
The times mustajabah include:
1. The final third of the night
From Abu Hurairah ra that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: "Our Most Blessed Lord Most High drops every night into the heavens
of the world until the last third of the night remained, and said; Whosoever
shall pray, I will grant, whoso invokes surely I will permit and the merchant
who will forgive me will forgive him ". (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Book of Da'waat
chapter Nisfullail Prayer 7 / 149-150)
2. When breaking the fast for the fasting person
From Abdullah bin "Amr bin" Ash ra that he heard the
Messenger of Allah said: "Verily for those who fast during the breaking
there are prayers that are not rejected". (Sunan Ibn Majah, chapter Fis
Siyam La Turaddu Da'watuhu 1/321 No.1775 Judge Mustadrak in 1/422 Isolated
sanadnya by Bushairi in Misbahuz Zujaj 2/17).
3. After each fardhu prayer
From Abu Umamah, the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) was
asked about the most heard prayer by Allah SWT, he replied: "In the middle
of the final night and every fardhu prayer." (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, chapter
of Jamiud Da'waat 13/30)
4. At the time of the war raged
From Sahl bin Sa'ad ra that the Messenger of Allah said: "There
are two prayers that are not rejected or rarely rejected; do'a at the time of
prayer and prayer when war rages ". (Sunan Abu Daud, Book of Jihad 3/21
No.2540. Sunan Baihaqi, chapter of Salahisqa 'Prayer 3/360 Judge in Mustdrak
1/189 Dishahihkan Imam Nawawi in Al-Adzkaar p.341)
5. A moment on Friday
Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the
Messenger of Allah (saws) said: "Surely on Friday there is an incomplete
time of a Muslim servant praying and asking for something good to Allah but
will be given to him, he is gestured with his hands for that little bit of
time". (Saheeh al-Bukhaari, book of Da'awaat 7/166. Sahih Muslim, book of
Jumuh 3 / 5-6)
The instantaneous time can not be known exactly and each of these
narrations mention the time differently, as mentioned by Ibn Hajar in Fathul
Bari 11/203.
And most likely the time is at the time the imam or preacher up the
pulpit until the Friday prayer or until the end of time Ashar for people who
wait maghrib prayer.
6. On the waking hours of the night for the person who before sleeping
in a holy state and dhikr to God
From 'Amr bin' Anbasah ra that the Messenger of Allah said: "Not
a servant sleeps in a holy state and wakes up at night then pleads something
about the affairs of the world or the hereafter but God will grant it".
(Sunan Ibn Majah, Prayer chapter 2/352 No.3924. Dedicated by Al-Mundziri 1/371
No.595)
7. Prayer between Adhan and Iqamah
From Anas bin Malik ra that the Messenger of Allah said: "Do'a
will not be rejected between adzan and iqamah". (Sunan Abu Daud, Book of
Prayer 1/144 No.521 Sunan At-Tirmidhi, chapter Jamiud Da'waat 13/87 Sunan
al-Baihaqi, Book of Salaat 1/140)
8. Prayer at the time of prostration in prayer
From Ibn Abbas ra that the Messenger of Allah said: "At the time
of prostration then earnestly pray because the moment is right to be
granted". (Sahih Muslim, Book of Prayer chapter Nahi An Qiratul Quran fi
Ruku 'wa Sujud 2/48)
9. At the time of the rain

prayers that have never been rejected; do'a at the time of prayer and prayer at
the time of rain ". (Mustadrak Hakim and run by Adz-Dzahabi 2 / 113-114).
Imam An-Nawawi said that the cause of prayer during the rain is not
rejected or rarely rejected because at that time the grace fell especially the
first rainfall early in the season. (Fathul Qadir 3/340)
10. At the time of death arrives
From Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah came to the house of Abu
Salamah (on the day of his death), and he got the two eyes of Abu Salamah open
then he closed it and then said: "When the spirit is lifted, the eyes are
followed." All families are hysterical. He said: "Do not pray for
yourself except good, for the angels agree what you say" (Sahih Muslim,
Janaiz 3/38)
11. On the night of Lailatul Qadar
Allah Almighty says: "The night of glory is better than a
thousand months. That night the angels and angels of Gabriel descended with the
permission of their Lord to arrange all matters. The night is full of welfare
until dawn. " (QS.Al-Qadr: 3-5)
Imam As-Syaukani said that the glory of Lailatul Qadr requires that
everyone's prayer must be granted (Tuhfatud Dzakirin)
12. Prayer on the day of'Arafah
From 'Amr bin Syu'aib ra from his father from his grandfather that the
Prophet said: "The best prayer is on the day of'Arafah". (Sunan
At-Tirmidhi, chapter of Jamiud Da'waat 13/83)
This is all I can say, the truth is coming from God and the wrong
comes from me alone, may what I have said can be useful for us all especially
for myself.
