This is a petitionary prayer performed together with a specific supplication text taught by the tradition rather than composed by the person praying, illustrated here by Salat al-Istikhara, the Islamic prayer for guidance said before a decision. What distinguishes it from open personal petition is the fixed, transmitted wording: the petitioner brings the need, but the tradition supplies the words.
