اَللّٰهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي رِزْقِهِمْ، وَافْسَحْ لَهُمْ فِي سَعةِ الرِّزْقِ، وَاغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَارْحَمْهُمْ
O Allah, bless them in their sustenance, grant them abundance in their provision, forgive them, and have mercy upon them.
Allahumma barik lahum fi rizqihim, wafsah lahum fi sa'at-ir rizqi, waghfir lahum warhamhum.
When to Read
This supplication is incredibly versatile for new mothers. You can recite it before or during breastfeeding, or at any time you wish to invoke Allah's blessing upon your baby's nourishment and your own well-being. It’s particularly comforting when you feel anxious about milk supply or your baby's growth. Think of it as a daily practice to seek Allah's continuous blessing on this sacred bond.
How to Read
Approach this dua with a heart full of sincerity and trust in Allah's plan. Find a quiet moment, perhaps while holding your baby or just before nursing. Place your hand gently on your chest or your baby's head (if appropriate), face the Qiblah if you can, and recite this supplication with conviction. Imagine Allah's blessings flowing through you to your child. Maintain a state of purity (Wudu) if possible, though it is not strictly obligatory for every remembrance of Allah.
Virtues & Benefits
Reciting this dua is a beautiful way to acknowledge that all sustenance and blessings come from Allah. By asking for *barakah* (blessing) and abundance in rizq (sustenance), you are seeking Allah's divine intervention to ensure that the milk you provide is not just sufficient but also imbued with goodness and health for your baby. It also encompasses seeking forgiveness and mercy, recognizing our need for Allah's grace in all aspects of life, including the profound journey of motherhood and nurturing a child. This practice strengthens your connection with Allah and fosters peace of mind during a time that can be both joyous and challenging.

Narrated Abdullah ibn Busr (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) entered my house and we offered him some dried dates and cheese. He ate them and said: 'O Allah, bless their provision, make it wide and abundant, and forgive them and have mercy on them.' He then entered our mosque and prayed the prayer, and we stood behind him. He was praying the prayer of Dhuha, and he was praying with ease.
