How To Pray Salatul Tasbih Namaz​ (Prayer)?

The Night That Can Change Everything

Have you ever felt like your sins are too many to count… and your heart quietly whispers:

“Is there still a way back?”

There is a prayer the Prophet ﷺ personally taught for complete forgiveness — not daily, not weekly — but as a powerful spiritual reset.

This is Salatul Tasbeeh.

And for many, it becomes their Night of Transformation.


What is Salatul Tasbeeh?

Salatul Tasbeeh is a special four-rak‘ah voluntary prayer taught by the Prophet ﷺ for the forgiveness of past and future sins. It includes the recitation of a unique tasbeeh 300 times during the prayer and may be prayed once in a lifetime, yearly, monthly, or weekly.

It is not an ordinary nafl prayer.

It is a forgiveness-focused ibadah designed for those who feel spiritually burdened.


Is Salatul Tasbeeh Authentic?

Yes, Salatul Tasbeeh is reported in authentic narrations found in Sunan Abu Dawood and Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, where the Prophet ﷺ taught it to his uncle Abbas (RA) as a means of complete forgiveness.

Hadith Proof

عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِلْعَبَّاسِ:

أَلَا أُعْطِيكَ أَلَا أَمْنَحُكَ أَلَا أَحْبُوكَ أَلَا أَفْعَلُ بِكَ عَشْرَ خِصَالٍ؟
إِذَا أَنْتَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَكَ ذَنْبَكَ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ…
