Secret of Earning More Reward (Sawāb)

·         When I exit the toilet I will act upon the Sunnaĥ of exiting with the right foot first.

·         After exiting I will recite the Masnūn Du’ā[1], with Ṣalāt-‘Alan-Nabī before and after.

·         If there is a queue outside a public or Masjid toilet, then I will wait patiently for my turn.

·         If someone is desperately in need, and I am not or I do not have any fear of missing my Ṣalāĥ, then I will let him go first.

·         I will not bother the person inside the toilet by repeatedly knocking on the door.

·         If someone else repeatedly knocks on my door, I will remain patient.

·         I will not write anything on the door or on the walls of the toilet nor will I read anything already written on the walls.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب        صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد

 


[1] اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِیْۤ اَذْهَبَ عَنِّی الْاَذٰی وَعَافَانِیْ Translation: All excellences are for     Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) Who has removed a painful thing from me and has given me comfort. (Sunan Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 1, pp. 193, Ḥadīš 301)

It is better to add the following Du’ā as well. In this way, you will be able to act upon two Aḥādīš. If you want, you can utter this before the above-mentioned long Du’ā: ‘غُفْرَانَكَ’ Translation: I ask Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) for forgiveness.

(Sunan-ut-Tirmiżī, vol. 1, pp. 87, Ḥadīš 7)
