How we choose these supplications
Each supplication links to its page on Al Muslim Plus and shows its source: the hadith collection, its number and its grade of authenticity, as given in the Encyclopedia of Translated Hadiths or in Hisn al-Muslim (Fortress of the Muslim) by Sa‘id al-Qahtani, or the Qur’an verse reference. When scholars differ, we say so. When no authentic supplication is specific to a situation, we say so instead of making one up.
