Reciting a specific supplication in the advent of Rajab

Question

I have seen some references to hadeeths quoting references of Prophet ( Peace be upon him) reciting specific dua on the advent of Rajab. Is there any particular dua for Rajab to be read during the month of Rajab?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is not confirmed that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) used to supplicate with a particular supplication in the beginning of the month of Rajab. Also, it is not confirmed in the Sunnah that the month of Rajab should be singled out with a specific prayer or fasting.

Therefore, it is an obligation to avoid the things which the people had innovated in this month and which are not in conformity with the noble Sunnah. Indeed, the best guidance is the guidance of the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ).

Allaah Knows best.
