Du’a for abstaining from backbiting

In the Madani Halqahs of Dawat-e-Islami’s Sunnah-inspiring Ijtima’ this week, the Du’a for ‘abstaining from backbiting’ will be taught as per the schedule. The Du’a is as follows:

‘When you sit in a gathering   and recite بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد, Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ will designate an angel that will keep you from backbiting. When you depart from that gathering and recite   بِسۡـمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحۡـمٰنِ الرَّحِيۡمِ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد, the angel will keep others from backbiting against you.’

(Gheebat ki Tabah Kariyan, pp. 25)
