Is there a sound supplication for the return of lost property, or prayer for its return?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no established from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, with a specific supplication for finding lost things. However, Al-Tabarani narrated a Marfu' that is not authentic, and the supplication was reported as Mawquf from Ibn Umar with a good () chain of transmission. A Muslim can supplicate with whatever he wishes, and supplication during prostration or after the is prescribed, but no special prayer should be performed specifically for this purpose.
