THE RECOMPENSE FOR MISSED PRAYER (kaffarah) .Please Note this Namaz is not a substitute of all kaza prayers.Whatever is the outcome of this hadith, the fact remains that one has to perform the qaza prayers even after praying this namaz.
Someone said to Imam 'Ali [a] "Master, uncountable prayers have been missed by me, which I have not the power to make up. What should I do? Imam 'Ali [a] said: "He who has missed many prayers and can't make them up, should on the last Friday of the Holy Month of Ramadan (known as Jumatul Wida) pray 4 rakats with one salam (i.e. as one prayer) to have the sins of lapsed prayers forgiven, Insha-Allah.
Please note that the lapsed salat must be recited, since this salat will just absolve us of the sin. This salat is a 4 rakat salat (just like Salatul Dhuhr), to be recited as follows:
In each rakat: Surah al Fatiha Once
Surah al-Ikhlas 25 times
Ayatul Kursi (2:255-257) Once
Surah al-Kawther 15 times
After reciting salaam, recite one salawat on the Prophet [s], the recite Shahadatain. as given below and then the dua below:
"Allahuma Yaa Saabiqal Fawti,
Yaa Saami'as-Sawti
Yaa Muhyi-al Idhwaami Ba'adal Mawti
Swalli Alaa Muhammadin wa Aali Muhammadin.
Waj'allee Farajan Wa Makhrajan
Mimmaa Anaa Feehi Innaka Ta'alamu Walaa A'alamu
Wa Naqdiru Walaa Aqdiru
Wa Anta Allamal Ghuyoobi
Yaa Waahibal Atwaaya
Wa Yaa Ghaafirall Khatwaaya
Yaa Saatiral Uyoobi
Subboohun Quddoosun
Rabbul Malaaikati War-Roohu
Waghfirlee Warham Yaa Rabbee."
O Allah! Oh He who advances forward.
O He who hears all sounds.
O He who revives the dead bones.
O Allah! Bless Muhammad and his family,
and grant them peace
and grant me ease from what you know and I know not,
from what You have power over and I do not have power over;
O knower of that which is hidden.
O Granter of blessings.
O Who is Pure and Holy,
Lord of the Angels and Spirit.
My Lord, have mercy on me,
and forgive me and overlook what you know (of my faults),
for surely You are the High, the Mighty.
And bless Muhammad and his family all of them,
through Your Mercy,
O Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
About the prayers; Imam 'Ali said that this salat is a Kafarah (recompense) for 700 years of (missed) prayer. The narrator asked Imam that people live for seventy or eighty years (on average). The Imam replied that it will then be a recompense for his parents, relatives and children (descendents).
