From the teachings of Hazrat Maulana Shah Abdur Raheem Sahab Dard (Rahmatullah Alaih)
Meaning
Al-Baasit means the Expander, the Generous Giver: the One who expands provision and relieves difficulties.
Understanding the Name
The root b-s-ṭ means to spread out and open wide. Al-Baasit extends His hand of generosity, widens provision, opens hearts and brings ease after hardship. The Qur’an says: “Indeed, your Lord extends provision for whom He wills and restricts it” (Al-Isra’ 17:30).
When provision is plentiful, the believer remembers that abundance is also a test, and shows gratitude by spending in the way of Allah. When it is tight, he waits with hope for Al-Baasit to expand it.
Effects and reflections
The condition of all creatures is shaped by these two qualities of Allah, the Withholder and the Expander. Feeling the effect of the Expander is like the relationship between the lover and the Beloved.
We should be thankful to Allah through our words, our deeds and by spending our wealth (in charity). When provision is plentiful, that condition may itself be a test from Allah.
Treatment (Amal)
Recite “Yā Bāsiṭ” 83 times after every prayer; by Allah’s will, difficulties will be resolved. It is especially recommended to recite it every day after the fard and sunnah of Fajr.
