SahihAlBukhari-017-001-072		Narrated Jabir Bin Abdullah: The Prophet ﷺ used to teach us the way of doing Istikhara Istikhara means to ask Allah to guide one to the right sort of action concerning any job or a deed ; in all matters as he taught us the Suras of the Quran. He said; If anyone of you thinks of doing any job he should offer a two rakat prayer other than the compulsory ones and say after the prayer : O Allah! I ask guidance from Your knowledge; And Power from Your Might and I ask for Your great blessings. You are capable and I am not. You know and I do not and You know the unseen. O Allah! If You know that this job is good for my religion and my subsistence and in my Hereafter- or said: If it is better for my present and later needs -Then You ordain it for me and make it easy for me to get; And then bless me in it; and if You know that this job is harmful to me In my religion and subsistence and in the Hereafter- or said: If it is worse for my present and later needs -Then keep it away from me and let me be away from it. And ordain for me whatever is good for me; And make me satisfied with it. The Prophet ﷺ added that then the person should name mention his need.
