Read this on a Cold Day!

I know there's a heat wave going on the other side of the equater... but not so down south. It's winter here, and today it feels like winter in Canada.

I think it's appropriate to post this du'aa on this extremely cold and wet day. It was sent in email from Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah on the 5th of this month.

*****

The following duaa should be recited on cold days:

لا ِاله ِالا الله ُمَا أشَدَّ بَرْدَ هذا الْيَوْمْ ، اَللّهُمَّ أجِرْنِيْ مِنْ زَمْهَريْرِجَهَنَّمْ.

 ( رواه ابن السني  - 307 - )

Laa ilaaha illallahu ma ashadda barda hazhal yawm , allahumma ajirni min zamhareeri jahannam.

Trans. "There is no deity but Allah, How severe is the cold of today!

O Allah! Protect me from the severe cold of Jahannam"

Rasulullah صل الله عليه و سلم is reported to have said: " When a person recites this supplication, Almighty Allah says to Jahannam : "Verily a servant of mine has sought refuge in me from  you, bear testimony that I have granted him salvation from you"

( Ibnu Sunni # 307 )
