Hadith:
Jābir (raḍiy Allāhu ʿanhu) narrated: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to teach us *istikhārah* (when one seeks Allah’s help in making a decision) for all matters, the same way he taught us Sūrahs from the Qur’ān. He ﷺ said: “When one of you intends to do something, he should offer two rak‘ahs of voluntary ṣalāh, and then say [the above].” (Bukhārī 6382)
Ibn Abī Jamrah (raḥimahullāh) said: “The wisdom of preceding ṣalāh before the duʿā’ is that the purpose of *istikhārah* is to combine the good of this world and the hereafter. A person needs to knock at the door of the King (Allah), and there is nothing more effective for this than ṣalāh, because it combines the glorification and praise of Allah, and expresses one’s need for Him at all times.” (Fatḥ al-Bārī 11/186)
عَنْ جَابِرٍ رضي الله عنه قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يُعَلِّمُنَا الِاسْتِخَارَةَ فِي الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا، كَالسُّورَةِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ: إِذَا هَمَّ بِالْأَمْرِ فَلْيَرْكَعْ رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ، وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ، فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي، وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي، أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ، فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ، وَاقْدُرْ لِي الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِهِ، وَيُسَمِّي حَاجَتَهُ. (صحيح البخاري ٦٣٨٢)
وقال بن أبي جمرة الحكمة في تقديم الصلاة على الدعاء أن المراد بالاستخارة حصول الجمع بين خيري الدنيا والآخرة فيحتاج إلى قرع باب الملك ولا شيء لذلك أنجع ولا أنجح من الصلاة لما فيها من تعظيم الله والثناء عليه والافتقار إليه مآلا وحالا. (فتح الباري بشرح البخاري ١١\١٨٦)

ʿImrān b. Husayn (raḍiy Allāhu ‘anhu) narrated: “The Prophet ﷺ said to my father: ‘O Husayn, how many deities do you worship now?‘ He said: ‘Seven. Six in the earth, and one above the heavens.’ He ﷺ said: ‘So which of them do you take for your ardent requests and fears?’ He said: ‘The one above the heavens.’ He ﷺ said: ‘O Husayn, if you accept Islam, I would teach you two phrases that would benefit you.’” He (the narrator) said: “So when Husayn accepted Islam, he said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, teach me the two phrases you promised me.’ So he ﷺ said: [the above].” (Tirmidhī 3483)
عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِأَبِي:يَا حُصَيْنُ كَمْ تَعْبُدُ اليَوْمَ إِلَهًا؟ قَالَ أَبِي: سَبْعَةً سِتَّةً فِي الأَرْضِ وَوَاحِدًا فِي السَّمَاءِ. قَالَ فَأَيُّهُمْ تَعُدُّ لِرَغْبَتِكَ وَرَهْبَتِكَ؟ قَالَ: الَّذِي فِي السَّمَاءِ. قَالَ:يَا حُصَيْنُ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَسْلَمْتَ عَلَّمْتُكَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ تَنْفَعَانِكَ. قَالَ: فَلَمَّا أَسْلَمَ حُصَيْنٌ قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِيَ الكَلِمَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ وَعَدْتَنِي، فَقَالَ:” قُلْ: اللَّهُمَّ أَلْهِمْنِي رُشْدِي، وَأَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي.
(سنن الترمذي ٣٤٨٣)
