Question 1923: Does the 'Seven Ladies Prayer' have any religious basis?

✅ Answer: The 'Seven Ladies Prayer' is a prayer offered as a gift to seven honorable and revered women, performed with specific rituals, at a specific time, and with the intention of facilitating marriage. However, the important point is that no such prayer with these specifics and effects is mentioned in hadiths or narrations. Please consider the following hadiths:

1⃣عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَا قَوْلَ إِلَّا بِعَمَلٍ وَ لَا قَوْلَ وَ لا عَمَلَ إِلَّا بِنِيَّةٍ وَ لَا قَوْلَ وَ لا عَمَلَ وَ لانِيَّةَ إِلَّا بِإِصَابَةِ السُّنَّةِ.

📚 *Al-Kafi*, Vol. 1, p. 70

Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'No statement or belief is valid except with action, no statement or action is valid except with intention, and no statement, action, or intention is valid unless it conforms to the Sunnah.'

2⃣عَنِ ابْنِ حُمَیْدٍ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَی أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ علیه السلام فَقَالَ أَخْبِرْنِی عَنِ السُّنَّةِ وَ الْبِدْعَةِ وَ عَنِ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَ عَنِ الْفِرْقَةِ فَقَالَ أَمِیرُ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَیْهِ السُّنَّةُ مَا سَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلی الله علیه و آله وَ الْبِدْعَةُ مَا أُحْدِثَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ الْجَمَاعَةُ أَهْلُ الْحَقِّ وَ إِنْ کَانُوا قَلِیلًا وَ الْفِرْقَةُ أَهْلُ الْبَاطِلِ وَ إِنْ کَانُوا کَثِیراً

📚 *Ma'ani al-Akhbar*, p. 155

A man came to Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) and asked: 'Tell me about the Sunnah, innovation, the community, and sects.'

The Imam replied:

'The Sunnah is what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) established and set as a tradition. Innovation is what was introduced after him. The community consists of the people of truth, even if they are few. Sects are the people of falsehood, even if they are many.'

📚 *Basa'ir al-Darajat*, p. 531, Hadith 21

Fudayl said: I heard Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) say: 'Anything that does not originate from this house (the house of the Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them) is invalid!'

📚 *Al-Kafi*, Vol. 1, p. 399

3⃣عَنْ فُضَيْلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ يَقُولُ كُلُّ مَا لَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَيْتِ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ.

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said to Salama ibn Kuhayl and Hakam ibn Utaibah: 'Go to the East and the West! By Allah, you will not find true knowledge except what originates from us, the Ahl al-Bayt.'

✅ Considering that this specific prayer with the mentioned rituals and intention of facilitating marriage is not found in the narrations of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), it has no place in religious practice. Instead, one can use the established prayers for fulfilling one's needs. Here is one example:

📚 *Al-Kafi*, Vol. 3, p. 478

Imam Baqir (peace be upon him) said: 'When you wish to ask something from your Lord, perform ablution and do it well, then pray two units of prayer, glorify Allah, send blessings upon the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and after finishing the prayer, say the following: [specific supplication]. Then, ask for your need!'

✅ A specific prayer for those seeking marriage is also mentioned, which can be viewed at the link below:

5⃣عَنْ شُرَحْبِیلَ الْکِنْدِیِّ عَنْ أَبِی جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَمْراً تَسْأَلُهُ رَبَّکَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَ أَحْسِنِ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَکْعَتَیْنِ وَ عَظِّمِ اللَّهَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَی النَّبِیِّ وَ قُلْ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِیمِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَسْأَلُکَ بِأَنَّکَ مَلِکٌ وَ أَنَّکَ عَلَی کُلِّ شَیْ ءٍ قَدِیرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ وَ أَنَّکَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ یَکُونُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَیْکَ بِنَبِیِّکَ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِیِّ الرَّحْمَةِ یَا مُحَمَّدُ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّی أَتَوَجَّهُ بِکَ إِلَی اللَّهِ رَبِّکَ وَ رَبِّی لِیُنْجِحَ لِی بِکَ طَلِبَتِی اللَّهُمَّ بِنَبِیِّکَ أَنْجِحْ لِی طَلِبَتِی بِمُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ سَلْ حَاجَتَکَ.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَسْأَلُکَ بِأَنَّکَ مَلِکٌ وَ أَنَّکَ عَلَی کُلِّ شَیْ ءٍ قَدِیرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ وَ أَنَّکَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ یَکُونُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَیْکَ بِنَبِیِّکَ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِیِّ الرَّحْمَةِ یَا مُحَمَّدُ یَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّی أَتَوَجَّهُ بِکَ إِلَی اللَّهِ رَبِّکَ وَ رَبِّی لِیُنْجِحَ لِی بِکَ طَلِبَتِی اللَّهُمَّ بِنَبِیِّکَ أَنْجِحْ لِی طَلِبَتِی بِمُحَمَّدٍ

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِیِّکَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِیَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ
