Question

In the Rajab du’a, what is the correct pronunciation of of the (ب)? Is it في رجبَ or في رجبٍ?

اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَناَ فِيْ رَجَب وَشَعْبانَ وَبَلّغْنَا رَمَضَان

 

Answer

The word Rajab is declinable (منصرف i.e., it can take a tanwin). Therefore the du’a is more accurately recited as رجبٍ.

(Refer: Al Misbahul Munir, pg. 120 and Al Adab Fi Rajab, pg: 29)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.

Approved by: Mawlana Muhammad Abasoomar,

To recite it without a tanwin (Rajaba) is also one view but not the ideal, as mentioned by Mulla ‘Ali Qari (rahimahullah) in the above reference, as well as in Mirqat, hadith: 1369.

التخريج من المصادر العربية

المصباح المنير في غريب الشرح الكبير: (١/ ١٢٠)
رجب من الشهور منصرف وله جموع.

الأدب في رجب: (ص: ٢٩)
واعلم أن رجبا منصرف عند الأكثر، وهو الأظهر.

مرقاة المفاتيح:
(١٣٦٩) (وعن أنس قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا دخل رجب): منون وقيل غير منصرف.
