Tasbeeh se Istikharah ka dastoor-ul-amal
Shaykh Shaheed rahmatullahi 'alayhi ne apni kitaab Zikra meiñ farmaaya hai ke mukhtalif istikhaaron meiñ se ek istikharah 'adad bhi hai aur guzrishtah zamaane meiñ yeh istikharah Sayyid Kabeer 'Aabid Yazeed bin Muhammad bin Muhammad bin Haadi al-Husaini rahmatullahi 'alayhi mujaawar-e-Najaf Ashraf ke zamaane se pehle mash'hoor nahiñ tha.
Ham is istikharah ki riwaayat un ki tamaam riwaayatoñ ke saath apne mashaa'ikh ke zariye Shaykh Kabeer Faadil Jamaal-ud-Deen bin Muṭahhar rahmatullahi 'alayhi se aur woh apne waalid ke zariye Sayyid Razi-ud-Deen mazkoor se aur unhoñ ne Hazrat Saahib-ul-'Asr 'alayhissalaam se riwaayat ki hai Surah Faatihah das martaba padhe ya us se kam teen baar padhe ya kam az kam ek martaba padhe.
Phir Surah Qadr ko das martaba.
Aur is du'a ko teen martaba padhe.
Parwardigaar main tujh se talab-e-khair karta hoon is liye ke tu har amr ke anjaam ko jaanta hai.
وَ اَسْتَشِيْرُكَ لِحُسْنِ ظَنِّىْ بِكَ
Main tujh se mashwarah karta hoon is liye ke main har mas'ala mein
فِى الْمَاْمُوْلِ وَالْمَحْذُوْرِ
tujh se husn-e-zann rakhta hoon.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ الْاَمْرُ الْفُلَانِىْ مِمَّا قَدْنِيْطَتْ بِالْبَرَكَةِ اَعْجَازُهُ وَ بَوَادِيْهِ
Khoodaya falaan amr jo mere zehen mein hai agar uske aaghaaz o anjaam mein barkat hai
وَ حُفَّتْ بِالْكَرَامَةِ اَيَّامُهُ وَ لَيَالِيْهِ
aur uske shab o roz mein karaamat hai
فَخِرْلِىْ اَللّٰهُمَّ فِيْهِ خِيَرَةً
to usko mere liye muntakhab farma de
تَرُدُّ شُمُوْسَهُ ذَلُوْلًا
aisa intekhaab jo sarkaSh ko raam kar de
وَ تَقْعَضُ اَيَّامَهُ سُرُوْرًا
aur ayyaam ko suroor ka ba'is banaa de
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِمَّا اَمْرٌ فَائْتَمِرْ
Khoodaya agar tu hukm dega to main amal karoon ga
وَ اِمَّا نَهْىٌ فَاَنْتَهِىْ
aur agar mana' kar dega to main nahin karoon ga.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْۤ اَسْتَخِيْرُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
Main teri rehmat se talab-e-khair karta hoon
خِيَرَةً فِىْ عَافِيَةٍ
taake aafiyat ke saath mujhe khair haasil ho jaaye.
Phir tasbeeh ke kuch daane pakṛe aur apni haajat ki niyyat kare agar un ki ta'daad juft (even) hai to use bajaa laaye aur agar taaq (odd) hai to use anjaam na de ya us ke bar 'aks (ya'ni taaq khoob hai aur haqeeqat bad hai) aur is ka ta'alluq istikharah karne waale ki niyyat se hai woh kise behtar samajhta hai.
Mu'allif-e-kitaab Shaykh Abbas Qummi rahmatullahi 'alayhi farmaate hain ke "Taq'aḍhu" meiñ zaaad nuqte daar hai jo ta'aṭṭuf (miṭaana) aur taraddud (tijori) ke ma'ni meiñ hai. Is ke 'ilaawah ham ne Namaazoñ ke baab meiñ Istikharah Zaat-ul-Riqaa' aur Istikharah ke ba'z doosri aqsaam aur un ke awqaat ka zikr kar diya hai is ki taraf bhi rujoo' farma sakte hain.
