PRAYER OF THE HUNGRY

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said:

He who feels hungry may do the ritual ablution (wudu’) and offer a two-unit prayer, after which he may pray Almighty Allah, saying:

يا رَبِّ اِنّى جائِعٌ فَاَطْعِمْنى

According to another tradition, the supplication is as follows:

رَبِّ اَطْعِمْنى فَاِنّى جائِعٌ

If he does so, Almighty Allah will immediately give him food.
