Chapter 56 – The supplication for the illnesses and diseases

1. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ وَابْنِ فَضَّالٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: كَانَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْعِلَّةِ: « اللهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَيَّرْتَ أَقْوَاماً، فَقُلْتَ:( قُلِ ادْعُوا الَّذِينَ زَعَمْتُمْ مِنْ دُونِهِ فَلا يَمْلِكُونَ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْكُمْ وَلا تَحْوِيلاً ) فَيَا مَنْ لَايَمْلِكُ كَشْفَ ضُرِّي وَلَاتَحْوِيلَهُ عَنِّي أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَاكْشِفْ ضُرِّي، وَحَوِّلْهُ إِلى مَنْ يَدْعُو مَعَكَ إِلهاً آخَرَ، لَاإِلهَ غَيْرُكَ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Adul Rahman Bin Abu Najran and Ibn Fazzal, from one of our companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abduallahasws , ‘Heasws used to say during an illness:

‘O Allahazwj ! Youazwj have criticised certain nations saying: so Youazwj Said [17: 56] Say: Call on those whom you assume (to be gods) besides Him, so they shall not control the removal of distress from you nor change it. So, O the One besides Whom one can control the Removal of my distress nor change it, apart from Himazwj ! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and Remove my distress and Change it to the ones who are calling to a god along with Youazwj . There is no god other than Youazwj ’.1

2. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ الْمُهْتَدِي، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ زُرْبِيٍّ، قَالَ: مَرِضْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ مَرَضاً شَدِيداً، فَبَلَغَ ذلِكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ: « قَدْ بَلَغَنِي عِلَّتُكَ، فَاشْتَرِ صَاعاً مِنْ بُرٍّ، ثُمَّ اسْتَلْقِ عَلى قَفَاكَ، وَانْثُرْهُ عَلى صَدْرِكَ كَيْفَمَا انْتَثَرَ، وَقُلِ: “اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي إِذَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ الْمُضْطَرُّ كَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ، وَمَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَتَكَ عَلى خَلْقِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَنْ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ عِلَّتِي” ؛ ثُمَّ اسْتَوِ جَالِساً، وَاجْمَعِ الْبُرَّ مِنْ حَوْلِكَ، وَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ، وَاقْسِمْهُ مُدّاً مُدّاً لِكُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ، وَقُلْ مِثْلَ ذلِكَ ».

قَالَ دَاوُدُ: فَفَعَلْتُ ذلِكَ، فَكَأَنَّمَا نُشِطْتُ مِنْ عِقَالٍ، وَقَدْ فَعَلَهُ غَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ فَانْتَفَعَ بِهِ.

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Abdul Aziz Bin Al Muhtady, from Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Dawood Bin Zurby who said,

‘I fell sick at Al-Madina with an intense illness. So (the news of) that reached Abu Abdullahazwj . So heasws wrote to me: ‘It has reached measws (news of) your illness. So buy a Sa’a (about 3kg.) of wheat, then lie down upon your back and scatter (the wheat) upon your chest, as it is done and say,

‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name Which, when Youazwj are asked with by a desperate one, it would Remove whatever he is with, from the harm, and (matters) are enabled for him in the earth, and Youazwj would Make him to Yourazwj Caliph upon Yourazwj creatures, that Youazwj (please) Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and that Youazwj (please) Grant me good health during my illness’.

Then sit up straight, and gather the wheat from around you, and say similar to that, and distribute it, one Mudd (750 gms.), one Mudd to each poor one and say similar to that’.

Dawood (the narrator) said, ‘So I did that, and it was as if I was activated from inactivity, and someone else (also) had done it, and he benefited by it’.2

3. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: اشْتَكى بَعْضُ وُلْدِهِ، فَقَالَ: « يَا بُنَيَّ، قُلِ: اللهُمَّ اشْفِنِي‌ بِشِفَائِكَ، وَدَاوِنِي بِدَوَائِكَ، وَعَافِنِي مِنْ بَلَائِكَ ؛ فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Nuaym,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , said, ‘One of hisasws sons complained to himasws , so heasws said: ‘O myasws son! Say,

‘O Allahazwj ! Heal me with Yourazwj Healing, and Cure me with Yourazwj Cure, and Grant me good health from Yourazwj affliction, for I am Yourazwj servant and son of Yourazwj servant’’.3

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ، هذَا الَّذِي قَدْ ظَهَرَ بِوَجْهِي يَزْعُمُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ اللهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ لَمْ يَبْتَلِ بِهِ عَبْداً لَهُ فِيهِ حَاجَةٌ؟

فَقَالَ لِي: « لَا، لَقَدْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ مُكَنَّعَ الْأَصَابِعِ، فَكَانَ يَقُولُ هكَذَا ـ وَيَمُدُّ يَدَهُ ـ وَيَقُولُ:( يا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ ) ».

قَالَ: ثُمَّ قَالَ: « إِذَا كَانَ الثُّلُثُ الْأَخِيرُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ، فَتَوَضَّأْ، وَقُمْ إِلى‌ صَلَاتِكَ الَّتِي تُصَلِّيهَا، فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِي السَّجْدَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ، فَقُلْ وَأَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ: “يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ، يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ، يَا سَامِعَ الدَّعَوَاتِ، وَ يَا مُعْطِيَ الْخَيْرَاتِ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَعْطِنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ، وَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ، وَأَذْهِبْ عَنِّي هذَا الْوَجَعَ وَسَمِّهِ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَاظَنِي وَأَحْزَنَنِي” ؛ وَأَلِحَّ فِي الدُّعَاءِ ».

قَالَ: فَمَا وَصَلْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ حَتّى أَذْهَبَ اللهُ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّهُ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Yunus Bin Ammar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! This (illness) which has appeared in my face, the people are alleging that Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic does not Afflict any servant with it for whom Heazwj has a need for’. So heasws said to him: ‘No! It was so that a Momin of the people of the Pharaohla was paralysed of the fingers, so he was saying (gesturing) like this’ – and heasws extended hisasws hand, and he was saying: ‘[36: 20] O people! Follow the Rasools’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then heasws said: ‘When it is the last third of the night, during its beginning, perform ablution and stand to your Salāt which you tend to pray. So when you are in the last Sajdah of the first two Cycles, so say while you are in Sajdah,

‘O Exalted! O Magnificent! O Beneficent! O Merciful! O Hearer of the supplications and O Giver of the goodness! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and Give me from the goodness of the world and the Hereafter, what Youazwj are Rightful of it, and Exchange from me from the evil of the world and the Hereafter what Youazwj are Rightful of it, and Remove from me this pain’ – and specify it –’for it has infuriated me and grieved me’, and be insistent in the supplication’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I had not (even) arrive at Al-Kufa until Allahazwj Removed it from me, all of it’.4

5. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؛ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ مَرَّ بِهِ الْبَلَاءُ، فَقُلِ: الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَيْكَ، وَعَلى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ ؛ وَلَاتُسْمِعْهُ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and a number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, altogether from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from his father,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Whenever you see a man who has been afflicted by the affliction, so say,

‘The Praise is for Allahazwj Who Granted me good health from that Heazwj Afflicted you with, and Preferred me over you, and from a lot of the people’ – but be sure not to make him hear what you said. ‘.5

6. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ زُرْبِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْوَجَعُ، وَتَقُولُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ: اللهُ اللهُ رَبِّي حَقّاً لَاأُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً، اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ لَهَا وَلِكُلِّ عَظِيمَةٍ، فَفَرِّجْهَا عَنِّي ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Dawood Bin Zurby,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘You should place your hand upon painful place, and you should be saying three times,

‘Allahazwj ! Allahazwj is my Lordazwj truly. I do not associate anything with Himazwj . O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are (the help) for it (the pain), and for all great troubles, so (please) Relieve it from me’.6

From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Dawood, from Mufazzal,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws for the pains:

‘You should be saying, ‘In the Name of Allahazwj , and by Allahazwj ! How many Bounties of Allahazwj are in the calm veins and agitated veins, upon a grateful servant and an ungrateful servant’, and you should grab your beard by your right hand after the Obligatory Salāt, and you should be saying, ‘Relieve from me my worries, and Hasten my good health, and Remove my harm’, three times, and make sure that, that happens to be along with tears and weeping’.7

8. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، فَشَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَجَعاً بِي، فَقَالَ: « قُلْ: بِسْمِ اللهِ، ثُمَّ امْسَحْ يَدَكَ عَلَيْهِ، وَقُلْ: “أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِجَلَالِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِأَسْمَاءِ اللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَحْذَرُ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَخَافُ عَلى نَفْسِي” ؛ تَقُولُهَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ ».

قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُ، فَأَذْهَبَ اللهُ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ بِهَا الْوَجَعَ عَنِّي.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from a man who said,

‘I went over to Abu Abdullahasws and I complained to himasws of my pain. So heasws said, ‘Say,

‘In the Name of Allahazwj ’, then wipe your hand over it and say,

‘I seek Refuge by the Might of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Power of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Majesty of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Magnificence of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Hold of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with Rasool-Allahsaww , and I seek Refuge with the Names of Allahazwj , from the evil of what I am cautious of, and from the evil of what I fear upon myself’. You should be saying it seven times’.

16. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « مَرِضَ عَلِيٌّ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَأَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: قُلِ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَعْجِيلَ عَافِيَتِكَ، وَصَبْراً عَلى بَلِيَّتِكَ، وَخُرُوجاً إِلى رَحْمَتِكَ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from one of his companions, from Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’farasws having said: ‘Aliasws fell sick, so Rasool-Allahsaww came over to himasws and said to himasws : ‘Say: ‘O Allahazwj ! Iasws ask Youazwj of quick recovery and patience upon Yourazwj affliction, and an exit into Yourazwj Mercy’’.16

17. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهعليه‌السلام : « أَنَّ النَّبِيَّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم كَانَ يُنَشِّرُ بِهذَا الدُّعَاءِ: تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلى مَوْضِعِ الْوَجَعِ، وَتَقُولُ: “أَيُّهَا الْوَجَعُ اسْكُنْ بِسَكِينَةِ اللهِ، وَقِرْ بِوَقَارِ اللهِ، وَانْحَجِزْ بِحَاجِزِ اللهِ، وَاهْدَأْ بِهَدْءِ اللهِ، أُعِيذُكَ أَيُّهَا الْإِنْسَانُ، بِمَا أَعَاذَ اللهُ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ بِهِ عَرْشَهُ وَمَلَائِكَتَهُ يَوْمَ الرَّجْفَةِ وَالزَّلَازِلِ” ؛ تَقُولُ ذلِكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلَاأَقَلَّ مِنَ الثَّلَاثِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws that the Prophetsaww used to seek cure with this supplication: ‘You should place your hand upon the place of the pain, and you should be saying,

‘O you pain! Settle by the Tranquility of Allahazwj , and cool down by the Dignity of Allahazwj , and be barred by the Barrier of Allahazwj , calm down by the Calmness of Allahazwj . Seek Refuge, O human being, by what Refuge of Allahazwj with Allahazwj would be sought by Hisazwj Throne, and Hisazwj Angels on the Day of tremors and earthquakes’. You should say that seven times, and not less than three’.17

18. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ عَمَّارِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ عَوْنِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ مَوْلَى الْجَعْفَرِيِّ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « تَضَعُ يَدَكَ عَلى مَوْضِعِ الْوَجَعِ، وَتَقُولُ: “اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ، الَّذِي نَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ، وَهُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ عَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ أَنْ تَشْفِيَنِي بِشِفَائِكَ، وَتُدَاوِيَنِي بِدَوَائِكَ، وَتُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ بَلَائِكَ” ؛ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَتُصَلِّي عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ammar Bin Al Mubarak, from Awn Bin Sa’ad, a slave of Al Ja’fary, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘You should place your hand upon the place of the pain, and you should be saying,

‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj by the right of the Magnificent Quran Which the Trustworthy Spirit descended with, and it is with Youazwj in the Mother of the Book, the Exalted, the Wise, that Youazwj should Heal me with Yourazwj Healing, and Treat me with Yourazwj Treatment, and Grant me well-being from Yourazwj afflictions’ – three times, and you should send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws ’.18

19. أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْعَوْفِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفُضَيْلِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، قَالَ: عَرَضَ بِي وَجَعٌ فِي رُكْبَتِي، فَشَكَوْتُ ذلِكَ إِلى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام ، فَقَالَ: « إِذَا أَنْتَ صَلَّيْتَ، فَقُلْ: يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ أَعْطى، وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ، وَيَا أَرْحَمَ مَنِ اسْتُرْحِمَ ارْحَمْ ضَعْفِي، وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي، وَأَعْفِنِي مِنْ وَجَعِي ». قَالَ: فَفَعَلْتُهُ، فَعُوفِيتُ.

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Awfy, from Ali Bin Al Husayn, form Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Zurara, from Muhammad Bin Al Fuzayl, from Abu Hamza who said,

‘A pain appeared with me in my knee, so I complained about that to Abu Ja’farasws . So heasws said: ‘When you go to pray Salāt, so say,

‘O the Most Benevolent of the ones who give, and O the Best of the ones who are asked from, and O the Most Benevolent of the ones who have mercy, have Mercy on my weakness and scarcity of my way out, and Grant me good health from my pain’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So I did it, and regained health’. 19

57- بَابُ الْحِرْزِ وَالْعُوذَةِ‌

Chapter 57 – The protection and the seeking Refuge

1. حُمَيْدُ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، قَالَ: ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام الْوَحْشَةُ، فَقَالَ: « أَلَاأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَيْ‌ءٍ إِذَا قُلْتُمُوهُ لَمْ تَسْتَوْحِشُوا بِلَيْلٍ وَلَانَهَارٍ؟: بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ، وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ، إِنَّهُ( مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللهَ بالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدْراً ) اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِي كَنَفِكَ وَفِي جِوَارِكَ، وَاجْعَلْنِي فِي أَمَانِكَ وَفِي مَنْعِكَ ».

فَقَالَ: بَلَغَنَا أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَهَا ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً وَتَرَكَهَا لَيْلَةً، فَلَسَعَتْهُ عَقْرَبٌ.

Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad, from someone else, from Aban, from Ibn al Munzar who said,

‘The loneliness was mentioned in the presence of Abu Abdullahasws , so heasws said: ‘Shall Iasws inform you all with something, when you say it, you will not feel the loneliness at night or by the day? (Say),

‘In the Name of Allahazwj , and by Allahazwj , and I rely upon Allahazwj , and it is so that the one who relies upon Allahazwj , so Heazwj would Suffice him. Allahazwj would Accomplish Hisazwj Command. Allahazwj has Made an Ordainment for everything. O Allahazwj ! Make me to be in Yourazwj Patronage, and in Yourazwj Vicinity, and Make me to be in Yourazwj Security and in Yourazwj Interdiction’.

So he (the narrator) said, ‘It reached us that a man said it for thirty years and neglected it for one night, so a scorpion stung him’.20

2. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ، عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قُلْ: أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِجَلَالِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَظَمَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِمَغْفِرَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِسُلْطَانِ اللهِ، الَّذِي هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‌ءٍ قَدِيرٌ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَرَمِ اللهِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ اللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ، وَكُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ، وَشَرِّ كُلِّ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ أَوْ ضَعِيفٍ أَوْ شَدِيدٍ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ السَّامَّةِ وَالْهَامَّةِ وَالْعَامَّةِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ أَوْ كَبِيرَةٍ، بِلَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فُسَّاقِ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ فَسَقَةِ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Muhassin Bin Ahmad, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Say’I seek Refuge with the Might of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge by the Power of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge by the majesty of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Magnificence of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Pardon of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Forgiveness of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Mercy of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Authority of Allahazwj by which Heazwj is Able over everything, and I seek Refuge with the Benevolence of Allahazwj , and I seek Refuge with the Hold of Allahazwj , from the evil of every tenacious tyrant and every rebellious Satanla and the evil of everything nearby, or remote, or weak, or difficult, and from the evil of the venomous (reptiles) and the insects, and the critical and the general, and from the evil of every animal be it small or large, at night or day, and from the evil of every mischievous Arab and the non-Arab, and from the evil of the mischief of the Jinn and the human beings’’.21

3. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، عَنِ الْقَدَّاحِ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَعليه‌السلام : رَقَى النَّبِيُّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم حَسَناً وَحُسَيْناً، فَقَالَ: “أُعِيذُكُمَا بِكَلِمَاتِ اللهِ التَّامَّاتِ وَأَسْمَائِهِ الْحُسْنى كُلِّهَا عَامَّةً، مِنْ شَرِّ السَّامَّةِ وَالْهَامَّةِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ لَامَّةٍ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ” ؛ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ النَّبِيُّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم إِلَيْنَا، فَقَالَ: هكَذَا كَانَ يُعَوِّذُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَإِسْحَاقَعليهم‌السلام ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from one of his companions, from Al Qaddah,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws said: ‘The Prophetsaww lifted Hassanasws and Husaynasws and hesaww said:

‘Isaww seek Refuge for the both of youasws with the complete Words of Allahazwj and the all the Good General Names of Allahazwj , from the evil of the venomous (reptiles) and the insects, and from the evil of every eye bearing ill-will, and from the evil of every envious one’.

Then the Prophetsaww turned towards us and hesaww said: ‘This is how Ibrahimas used to seek Refuge for Ismailas and Is’haqas ’’.22

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ، عَنْ بَكْرٍ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ فَنَظَرْتَ إِلَى الشَّمْسِ فِي غُرُوبٍ وَإِدْبَارٍ، فَقُلْ: بِسْمِ اللهِ وَبِاللهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلَاوَلَداً، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذِي يَصِفُ وَلَا يُوصَفُ، وَيَعْلَمُ وَلَايُعْلَمُ( يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ ) وَأَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِ اللهِ الْكَرِيمِ، وَبِاسْمِ اللهِ الْعَظِيمِ، مِنْ شَرِّ مَا بَرَأَ وَذَرَأَ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرى، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا بَطَنَ وَظَهَرَ ؛ وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا وَصَفْتُ وَمَا لَمْ أَصِفْ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ».

ذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا أَمَانٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ، وَمِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ، وَكُلِّ مَا عَضَّ أَوْ لَسَعَ، وَلَايَخَافُ صَاحِبُهَا إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا لِصّاً وَلَاغُولاً.

قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنِّي صَاحِبُ صَيْدِ السَّبُعِ، وَأَنَا أَبِيتُ فِي اللَّيْلِ فِي الْخَرَابَاتِ وَأَتَوَحَّشُ.

فَقَالَ لِي: « قُلْ إِذَا دَخَلْتَ: “بِسْمِ اللهِ أَدْخُلُ” ؛ وَأَدْخِلْ رِجْلَكَ الْيُمْنى، وَإِذَا خَرَجْتَ، فَأَخْرِجْ رِجْلَكَ الْيُسْرى، وَسَمِّ اللهَ، فَإِنَّكَ لَاتَرى مَكْرُوهاً ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Bukeyr, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary who said,

‘I heard Abu Al-Hassanasws saying: ‘When it is evening, so look towards the sun during the setting and disappearing, so say,

‘In the Name of Allahazwj , and by Allahazwj , and the Praise is for Allahazwj Who neither Took a female companion, nor a son, and there does not happen to be a match for Himazwj in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a guardian for him from the disgrace, and Hisazwj Greatness is the Greatest.

And the Praise is for Allahazwj Who Describes while Heazwj cannot be described, and Heazwj Knows while Heazwj cannot be known. Heazwj Knows the betrayal of the eyes and what the chests conceal. And I seek Refuge by Hisazwj Benevolent Face, and by the Magnificent Name of Allahazwj , from the evil of what is spread and inseminated, and from the evil of what is beneath the ground, and from the evil of what is hidden and apparent, and from the evil of what can be described and what cannot be described. And the Praise is for Allahazwj , Lordazwj of the worlds.

Heasws mentioned: ‘It is a security from every predatory wild animals, and from the Pelted Satanla and hisla offspring, and everything what bites or stings, and its reciter, when he speaks with it, would neither fear a thief nor a devil’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to himasws , ‘I am a hunter of the wild animals and I tend to spend the night among the ruins and I am alone’. So heasws said to me: ‘Say when you enter (the hunting),

‘In the Name of Allahazwj I enter’, and enter your right leg; and when you exit, so exit your left leg (first) and Name Allahazwj (Bismillah), so you will not be seeing an abhorrence’.23

5. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ قُتَيْبَةَ الْأَعْشى، قَالَ: عَلَّمَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام قَالَ: « قُلْ: بِسْمِ اللهِ الْجَلِيلِ، أُعِيذُ فُلَاناً بِاللهِ الْعَظِيمِ مِنَ الْهَامَّةِ وَالسَّامَّةِ وَاللاَّمَّةِ وَالْعَامَّةِ، وَمِنَ الْجِنِّ وَالْإِنْسِ، وَمِنَ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ، وَمِنْ نَفْثِهِمْ وَبَغْيِهِمْ وَنَفْخِهِمْ، وَ بِآيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ ؛ ثُمَّ تَقْرَؤُهَا، ثُمَّ تَقُولُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ: “بِسْمِ اللهِ أُعِيذُ فُلَاناً بِاللهِ الْجَلِيلِ” ؛ حَتّى تَأْتِيَ عَلَيْهِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Quteyba Al A’asha who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws taught me saying: ‘Say,

‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Majestic! I seek refuge for so and so, with Allahazwj the Magnificent, from the insects and the venomous (reptiles), and the evil eyes, and the generality (of creatures), and from the Jinn and the human beings, and from the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and from their sorcery and their rebellions, and their spells, and by the Ayat Al Kursy (2: 255)’ – then recite it.

Then you should be saying during the second (time), ‘In the Name of Allahazwj ! I seek Refuge with Allahazwj the Majestic’ until you overcome upon it’.24

6. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ الْعَقَارِبَ، فَقَالَ: « انْظُرْ إِلى بَنَاتِ نَعْشٍ ـ الْكَوَاكِبِ الثَّلَاثَةِ ـ الْوُسْطى مِنْهَا بِجَنْبِهِ كَوْكَبٌ صَغِيرٌ قَرِيبٌ مِنْهُ تُسَمِّيهِ الْعَرَبُ « السُّهَا »، وَنَحْنُ نُسَمِّيهِ « أَسْلَمَ »، أَحِدَّ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ، وَقُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ: اللهُمَّ رَبَّ أَسْلَمَ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ، وَسَلِّمْنَا ».

قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: فَمَا تَرَكْتُهُ مُنْذُ دَهْرِي إِلاَّ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً، فَضَرَبَتْنِي الْعَقْرَبُ.

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘May I be sacrificed for youasws ! I fear the scorpions’. So heasws said: ‘Look at the daughters of the little bear (Ursa Minor), the three stars, (at) the middle one from it, by the side of it is a small star near to it, named by the Arabs as Al-Suha, and we call it as Aslam, with a solitary gaze at it every night, and say three times,

‘O Allahazwj ! Lordazwj of Aslam! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and Hasten theirasws relief and Keep us safe’.

Is’haq said, ‘So I did not neglect it since my time (of having learnt that) except for once, so the scorpion stung me’.25

Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hassan, from Al Abbas Bin Aamir, from Abu Jameela, from Sa’d Al Iskaf who said,

‘I heard himasws saying: ‘The one who says these words, so Iasws guarantee to him that a scorpion would not bite him, nor an insect until morning,

‘I seek Refuge with the complete Words of Allahazwj Which neither a righteous one nor an immoral one can exceed, from the evil what is inseminated, and from the evil of what is spread, and from the evil of every animal being Seized by its forelocks, that my Lordazwj is upon the Straight Path’’.26

8. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ: عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم فِي بَعْضِ مَغَازِيهِ إِذَا شَكَوْا إِلَيْهِ الْبَرَاغِيثَ أَنَّهَا تُؤْذِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ: إِذَا أَخَذَ أَحَدُكُمْ مَضْجَعَهُ، فَلْيَقُلْ: أَيُّهَا الْأَسْوَدُ الْوَثَّابُ الَّذِي لَا يُبَالِي غَلَقاً وَلَابَاباً، عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ أَلاَّ تُؤْذِيَنِي وَأَصْحَابِي إِلى أَنْ يَذْهَبَ اللَّيْلُ، وَيَجِي‌ءَ الصُّبْحُ بِمَا جَاءَ » وَالَّذِي نَعْرِفُهُ: « إِلى أَنْ يَؤُوبَ الصُّبْحُ مَتى مَا آبَ ».

Muhammad Bin Ja’far Abu Al Abbas, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Salih Bin Saeed,

(It has been narrated) from Ibrahim Bin Muhammad Bin Haroun that he wrote to Abu Ja’farasws asking himasws for an amulet for the winds which bother the children. So heasws wrote to him in hisasws own handwriting with these two amulets, and Salih alleged that’These two were implemented by Ibrahim to me in his handwriting’: -

Allahazwj is the Greatest! Allahazwj is the Greatest! Allahazwj is the Greatest! I testify that there is no God except Allahazwj . I testify that Muhammadsaww is Rasool-Allahsaww . Allahazwj is the Greatest! There is no god except Allahazwj and there is no Lordazwj for me except Allahazwj . For Himazwj is the Kingdom and for Himazwj is the Praise. There is no associate for Himazwj . Glorious is Allahazwj . Whatever Allahazwj so Desires occurs, and whatever Heazwj does not Desire, does not occur.

O Allahazwj ! Oneazwj with the Majesty and the Benevolence. Lordazwj of Musaas , and Isaas , and Ibrahimas who fulfilled it. God of Ibrahimas , and Ismailas , and Is’haqas , and Yaqoubas and the chiefs. There is no god except Youazwj . Glory be to Youazwj along with what Youazwj Numbered from Yourazwj Signs, and by Yourazwj Magnificence, and with what Youazwj were asked with by the Prophetsas , and that Youazwj are the Lordazwj of the people.

Youazwj were before everything, and Youazwj will be after everything. I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name Which the skies attach with from falling to the earth except by Yourazwj Permission, and by the complete Words by which Youazwj Revive the dead, that Youazwj should Rescue Yourazwj servant, so and so, from the evil of what descends from the sky, and that what raises to it, and what comes out from the ground, and what penetrates into it. And greetings be upon the Mursil Prophetsas , and the Praise is for Allahazwj , Lordazwj of the worlds’.

And heasws wrote to him as well in hisasws own handwriting:

‘In the Name of Allahazwj , and by Allahazwj , and to Allahazwj , and just as Allahazwj so Desires, and I seek Refuge with the Might of Allahazwj , and the Compulsion of Allahazwj , and the Power of Allahazwj , and the Kingdom of Allahazwj ’. This writing is a Healing from Allahazwj for so and so, son of so and so, son of Yourazwj servant and son of Yourazwj maid, both servants of Allahazwj . May Allahazwj Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and hissaww Progenyasws ’.29

11. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْكَاهِلِيِّ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « إِذَا لَقِيتَ السَّبُعَ، فَاقْرَأْ فِي وَجْهِهِ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ، وَقُلْ لَهُ: “عَزَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ بِعَزِيمَةِ اللهِ، وَعَزِيمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، وَعَزِيمَةِ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ دَاوُدَعليهما‌السلام ، وَعَزِيمَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍعليه‌السلام وَالْأَئِمَّةِ الطَّاهِرِينَعليهم‌السلام مِنْ بَعْدِهِ” ؛ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْصَرِفُ عَنْكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ ».

قَالَ: فَخَرَجْتُ فَإِذَا السَّبُعُ قَدِ اعْتَرَضَ، فَعَزَمْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِلاَّ تَنَحَّيْتَ عَنْ طَرِيقِنَا وَلَمْ تُؤْذِنَا، قَالَ: فَنَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ قَدْ طَأْطَأَ رَأْسَهُ وَأَدْخَلَ ذَنَبَهُ بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ، وَانْصَرَفَ.

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Kahily who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘When you come across a predatory wild animal, so recite Ayat Al-Kursy (2: 255) in its face, and say to it: ‘I am determined against you by the Determination of Allahazwj , and determination of Muhammadsaww , and determination of Suleyman Bin Dawoodas , and determination of Amir Al-Momineen Aliasws Bin Abu Talibasws and the Purified Imamsasws from after himasws ’, so it would be exchanged from him, Allahazwj Willing.

So a wild animal presented itself, so I was determined against it and said it to it so it step aside from our way and did not harm us. So I looked at it and it had bowed its head and entered its tail between its legs and left’.30

12. عَنْهُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُونُسَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَبِي الْجَارُودِ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ: “أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ الْعَظِيمَ الْجَلِيلَ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَوُلْدِي وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ، وَأَسْتَوْدِعُ اللهَ الْمَرْهُوبَ الْمَخُوفَ، الْمُتَضَعْضِعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ كُلُّ شَيْ‌ءٍ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي وَوُلْدِي وَمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ” ؛ حُفَّ بِجَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ جَبْرَئِيلَعليه‌السلام ، وَحُفِظَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَمَالِهِ ».

From him, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad, from Yunus, from one of our companions, from Abu Al Jaroud,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘The one who says at the end of the Obligatory (Salāt),

‘I entrust to Allahazwj the Magnificent, myself, and my family, and my wealth, and the one whose matters are meaningful to me; and I entrust to Allahazwj , the One hoped to, the One feared to, the One broken to Hisazwj Determination, everything, myself, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and the ones who matters are meaningful to me’, would be saved by a wing from the wings of Jibraeelas , and would be protected regarding himself, and his family, and his wealth’.31

13. عَنْهُ رَفَعَهُ، قَالَ: « مَنْ بَاتَ فِي دَارٍ أَوْ بَيْتٍ وَحْدَهُ، فَلْيَقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ، وَلْيَقُلِ: اللهُمَّ آنِسْ وَحْشَتِي، وَآمِنْ رَوْعَتِي، وَأَعِنِّي عَلى وَحْدَتِي ».

From him, raising it,

‘Heasws said: ‘The one spends the night in a house and a room alone, so let him recited Ayat Al-Kursy (2: 255), and let him say,

‘O Allahazwj ! Comfort my loneliness, and Secure my awe, and Assist me upon my loneliness’’.32

14. أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شِمْرٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : يَا عَلِيُّ، أَلَاأُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ؟ إِذَا وَقَعْتَ فِي وَرْطَةٍ أَوْ بَلِيَّةٍ، فَقُلْ: “بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ، وَ لَاحَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ” ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ يَصْرِفُ بِهَا عَنْكَ مَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ ».

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Salim, from Ahmad Bin Al Nazar, from Umro Bin Shimr, from Yazeed Bin Murra, from Bukeyr who said,

‘I heard Amir Al-Momineenasws saying: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said to me: ‘O Aliasws ! Shallsaww let youasws know of certain words? Whenever youasws fall into a predicament or an affliction, so say:

‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, and there is neither Might nor Strength except with Allahazwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, for Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic would Exchange it from youasws by it, whatever Heazwj so Desires from a variety of afflictions’. 33

He (the narrator) said,

‘It was so that Abu Abdullahasws would supplicate during the recitation of the Book of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic:

‘O Allahazwj ! Our Lordazwj ! For Youazwj is the Praise. Youazwj are the only One with the Power and the Strong Authority, and for Youazwj is the Praise. Youazwj are Exalted with the Might and the Greatness, and above the skies and the Magnificent Throne.

And for Youazwj is the Praise. Youazwj are the Sufficer with Yourazwj Knowledge and needy to Youazwj es everyone with knowledge. Our Lordazwj ! And for Youazwj is the Praise, O Revealer of the Verses and the Magnificent Reminder. Our Lordazwj ! So, for Youazwj is the Praise with what Youazwj Taught usasws from the Wisdom, and the Magnificent Quran, the Evident. Youazwj Taught usasws before we wished to be in its teaching, and Youazwj Specialised usasws with it before we wished to be benefited by it.

O Allahazwj ! So when it was that from usasws , from Youazwj , and Preference, and Generosity, and Kindness with usasws , and Mercy for usasws , and Gratitude upon usasws from without any might for usasws . Nor a strategy for usasws , nor any strength of oursasws . O Allahazwj ! Therefore, Bestow to us the excellent recitation of it, and the memorisation of its Verses, and Eman its Allegorical (Verses), and acting upon its Decisive (Verses), and reasoning in its interpretation, and Guidance in its arrangement, and insight into its Light.

O Allahazwj ! And it is as if Youazwj have Revealed it as a Healing to Yourazwj friends, and a misery to Yourazwj enemies, and a blindness upon the people disobedient to Youazwj , and a Light for the people obedient to Youazwj . O Allahazwj ! So Make it to be a fortress for usasws from Yourazwj Punishment and a Protection from Yourazwj Wrath, and Barrier from disobeying Youazwj , and a Preservation from Yourazwj Harshness, and a Pointer towards obeying Youazwj , and a Light on the Day weasws meet Youazwj weasws can shine with among Yourazwj creatures, and weasws can cross by it upon Yourazwj Bridge, and weasws can be Guided with to Yourazwj Paradise.

O Allahazwj ! Weasws seek Refuge by it from the misfortune in bearing it, and the blindness from its actions, and the tyranny from its decision, and higher from its Meanings and being deficient below its rights. O Allahazwj ! Unload its weight from usasws and Obligate its Recompense for usasws , and Apportion is gratefulness upon usasws , and Make usasws to be its caretakers and its preservers.

O Allahazwj ! Make usasws to follow its Permissible and keep aloof from its Prohibitions, and establish its Limits, and fulfil its Impositions. O Allahazwj ! Grace usasws its sweetness during its recitation, and vigour in establishing it, and respect in reading it slowly, and strength in utilizing it at night and the two ends of the day. O Allahazwj ! And Comfort usasws with the little sleep, and Wake usasws up during a time of the night from the sleep of the sleeping ones, and Wake usasws during the events in which the supplications are Answered from the slumber of the ones in slumber.

O Allahazwj ! Make intelligence to be for ourasws hearts during its (Holy Quran’s) wonderments which do not expire, and pleasures during its repeating, and lessons during its reviews, and clear benefits during its understanding. O Allahazwj ! Weasws seek Refuge with Youazwj from opposing it in ourasws hearts, and neglecting it during ourasws sleep and throwing it behind ourasws backs. And weasws seek Refuge from the harshness of ourasws hearts when it is Advised to usasws with it.

O Allahazwj ! Benefit usasws with what Youazwj Served in it from the Verses and Mentioned usasws with what Youazwj Struck in it from the examples, and Expiated the evil deeds (of ourasws Shias) from usasws by its interpretation, and Multiplied for usasws by it the Recompense regarding the good deeds, and Raised the Rewards by usasws by it in the Levels, and Made usasws face glad tidings after the deaths.

O Allahazwj ! Make it (Holy Quran) to be an increase in ourasws strength by it during the pausing in front of Youazwj and a clear way weasws can travel by towards Youazwj , and a beneficial knowledge weasws can be grateful with for Youazwj Bounties, and Makes usasws to be humble, truthful, weasws can Glorify Yourazwj Name with, for Youazwj will be Taking it as an Argument upon usasws , Cutting-off ourasws excuses by it, and Loaded it with usasws such Bounties that weasws are deficient in thanking for it. O Allahazwj ! Make it to be a friend for usasws affirming usasws from wavering, and a pointer guiding usasws to the righteous deeds, and an aiding guide strengthening usasws from other religions, and aiding usasws from the fatigue, until it reaches with usasws the best deeds.

O Allahazwj ! Make it to be a healing for usasws on the Day of the Meeting and a weapon on the Day of Raising (of matters), and an argument on the Day of the Judgments, and a Light on the Day of the darkness there being neither an earth nor a sky, the Day every strivers would be Sufficed for what he strove for.

O Allahazwj ! Make it (Holy Quran) to be a quenching for usasws on the Day of thirst, and a success on the Day of the Recompense from the Blazing Fire, giving little survival upon the ones who are with it, uprooting by its oceans of fire. O Allahazwj ! Make it to be a Proof for usasws against the chiefs of the nations on the Day in which would be gathered the inhabitants of the earth and the inhabitants of the sky. O Allahazwj ! Grace usasws the status of the martyrs and a life of happiness, and the friendship of the Prophetsas . Youazwj are the Hearer of the supplications’. 34

قَالَ: وَفِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ زِيَادَةُ: « وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِهِ عِبَادُكَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ وَأَنْبِيَاؤُكَ، فَغَفَرْتَ لَهُمْ وَرَحِمْتَهُمْ ؛ وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كُتُبِكَ، وَبِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي اسْتَقَرَّ بِهِ عَرْشُكَ، وَبِاسْمِكَ الْوَاحِدِ الْأَحَدِ الْفَرْدِ الْوَتْرِ الْمُتَعَالِ، الَّذِي يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْكَانَ كُلَّهَا، الطَّاهِرِ الطُّهْرِ، الْمُبَارَكِ الْمُقَدَّسِ، الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ، نُورِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ، الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ، الْكَبِيرِ الْمُتَعَالِ، وَكِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ بِالْحَقِّ، وَكَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ، وَنُورِكَ التَّامِّ، وَبِعَظَمَتِكَ وَأَرْكَانِكَ ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from the one who mentioned it, from Abu Abdullah Bin Sinan, from Aban Bin Taghlib,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘You should be saying, ‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj and do not ask the servants like I ask Youazwj . I ask Youazwj by the right of Muhammadsaww Yoursaww Prophetsaww and Yourazwj Rasoolsaww , and Ibrahimas Yourazwj friend and Yourazwj elite, and Musaas Yourazwj speaker and Yourazwj whisperer, and Isaas Yourazwj Word and Yourazwj Spirit.

And I ask Youazwj by the Parchments of Ibrahimas , and the Torah of Musaas , and the Psalms of Dawoodas , and the Evangel of Isaas , and Quran of Muhammadsaww , and by every Revelation Youazwj Revealed, and every Judgment Youazwj Passed, and right Youazwj Fulfilled, and rich one Youazwj Enriched, and straying one Youazwj Guided, and begging one Youazwj Gave to.

And I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name which Youazwj Placed upon the night, so it turned dark, and by Yourazwj Name which Youazwj Placed upon the day so it shone, and by Yourazwj Name which Youazwj Placed upon the earth so it settled and the skies were underpinned by it so (became) upheld, and Placed it upon the mountains, so were anchored.

And by Yourazwj Name by which the sustenance are Sent with, and I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name by which the dead are revived with, and I ask Youazwj by the Bond of the Might from Yourazwj Throne and the limit of the Mercy from Yourazwj Book.

I ask Youazwj that Youazwj should Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww and that Youazwj should Grace me the memorisation of the Quran, and the varieties of the knowledge, and that Youazwj affirm it in myasws heart and myasws hearing and my sight, and that Youazwj mingle it with myasws flesh and myasws blood and myasws bones and myasws brain, and that Youazwj Utilise by it myasws night and myasws day by Yourazwj Mercy and Yourazwj Power, for there is neither Might nor Strength except with Youazwj . O Living! O Eternal!’

He (the narrator) said, ‘And in another Hadeeth there is more: -

‘And Iasws ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name by which Yourazwj servants supplicate with so it is Answered for them, and Yourazwj Prophets, so it is Forgiven for themas and there is Mercy upon themas .

And Iasws ask Youazwj by every Name Youazwj Revealed in Yourazwj Book, and by Yourazwj Name which Yourazwj Throne is stabilized, and by Yourazwj Name, the Single, the One, the Individual, the Solitary, the Exalted which Fills up the corners, all of them, the Immaculate, the Clean, the Blessed, the Holy, the Living, the Eternal, Light of the skies and the earth, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Greatest, and Exalted, and Yourazwj Revealed Book with the Truth, and the Perfect Words of Yoursazwj , and Yourazwj Perfect Light, and by Yourazwj Magnificence and Yourazwj Elements’.

And heasws said in another Hadeeth: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘The one who wants Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic should Cause him to retain (memorise) the Quran and the Knowledge, so let him write this supplication in a clean container with white honey, then wash it with rain water before it touches the ground, and drink it for three days upon the empty stomach, for it would make him memorise that, Allahazwj Willing’.35

2. عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسى: رَفَعَهُ إِلى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : أُعَلِّمُكَ دُعَاءً لَاتَنْسَى الْقُرْآنَ، قُلْ: اللهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ مَعَاصِيكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي، وَارْحَمْنِي مِنْ تَكَلُّفِ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي، وَارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ الْمَنْظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي، وَأَلْزِمْ قَلْبِي حِفْظَ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي ؛ اللهُمَّ نَوِّرْ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِي، وَاشْرَحْ بِهِ صَدْرِي، وَفَرِّحْ بِهِ قَلْبِي، وَأَطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانِي، وَاسْتَعْمِلْ بِهِ بَدَنِي، وَقَوِّنِي عَلى ذلِكَ، وَأَعِنِّي عَلَيْهِ ؛ إِنَّهُ لَامُعِينَ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ، لَاإِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ ».

قَالَ: وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ وَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْأَعْوَرِ، عَنْ‌ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام .

From him, from his father, from Hammad Bin Isa,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Amir Al-Momineenasws having said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww said: ‘Isaww shall teach you a supplication, (by which) you will not forget the Quran, ‘O Allahazwj ! Have Mercy on me so I neglect disobeying Youazwj for ever what it my remaining (life), and have Mercy on me from encumbering what is not befitting for me, and Grace me the good scenery in what would Please Youazwj from me, and Impose the memorisation of Yourazwj Book in my heart just as Youazwj Taught me and Graced me that I recite it upon as which would Please Youazwj from me.

O Allahazwj ! Illuminate my vision by Yourazwj Book and Expand my chest by it, and Cause my heart to be happy with it, and Loosen my tongue by it, and Utilise my body by it, and Strengthen me upon that, and Assist me upon it, (for) there is no Aider upon it except Youazwj . There is no god except Youazwj ’’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Some of our companions have reported from Waleed Bin Sabeeh, from Hafs Al-Awr, from Abu Abdullahasws ’. 36

Abu Ali Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdul Jabbar, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Abu Suleyman Al Jassas , from Ibrahim Bin Maymoun who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying: ‘O Allahazwj ! Assist me upon the terror of the Day of Judgment and Extract me safely from the world, and Pair me with the Maiden Houries, and Suffice me for my livelihood and the livelihood of my dependants, and livelihood of the people, and by Yourazwj Mercy Enter me to be among the righteous servants’’.38

4. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى ؛ وَعِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ جَمِيعاً، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زِيَادٍ، قَالَ: كَتَبَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ بَصِيرٍ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ لَهُ فِي أَسْفَلِ كِتَابِهِ دُعَاءً يُعَلِّمُهُ إِيَّاهُ، يَدْعُو‌ بِهِ، فَيُعْصَمَ بِهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ جَامِعاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ، فَكَتَبَعليه‌السلام بِخَطِّهِ: « بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ، يَا مَنْ أَظْهَرَ الْجَمِيلَ وَسَتَرَ الْقَبِيحَ، وَلَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ عَنِّي، يَا كَرِيمَ الْعَفْوِ، يَا حَسَنَ التَّجَاوُزِ، يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ، يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ، يَا صَاحِبَ كُلِّ نَجْوى، وَيَا مُنْتَهى كُلِّ شَكْوى، يَا كَرِيمَ الصَّفْحِ، يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَنِّ، يَا مُبْتَدِئَ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا، يَا رَبَّاهْ، يَا سَيِّدَاهْ، يَا مَوْلَاهْ، يَا غِيَاثَاهْ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تَجْعَلَنِي فِي النَّارِ ؛ ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ مَا بَدَا لَكَ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, and a number of our companions, from Sahl BiN Ziyad, altogether from Ali Bin Ziyad who said,

‘Ali Bin Baseer wrote to himasws , asking himasws that heasws write to him at the bottom of hisasws letter, teaching him a supplication he can supplicate with, so he can be saved from the comprehensive sins of the world and the Hereafter.

So heasws wrote in hisasws own handwriting: ‘In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. O the Oneazwj Who Manifest the beauty and Veils the ugliness, and does not Tear down the Veil from me. O Benevolent, the Pardon, O Excellent Overlooker! O Extensive of Forgiveness! O Most Extensive of the Hands with the Mercy! O Companion of every conversation, and O the End-point of every complaint! O the Benevolent Excuser! O the Magnifier of the Favours! O the Initiator of every Bounty it is being deserved!

O Lordazwj ! O Chief! O Master! O Rescuer! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww ; and I ask Youazwj that Youazwj do not Make me to be in the Fire’. Then ask whatever comes to you’.40

5. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ وَأَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كَرْبٍ، وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ، وَأَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِي ثِقَةٌ وَعُدَّةٌ، كَمْ مِنْ كَرْبٍ ـ يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ الْفُؤَادُ، وَتَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ، وَيَخْذُلُ عَنْهُ‌ الْقَرِيبُ، وَيَشْمَتُ بِهِ الْعَدُوُّ، وَتَعْنِينِي فِيهِ الْأُمُورُ ـ أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ، وَشَكَوْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ، رَاغِباً فِيهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ، فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَكَشَفْتَهُ وَكَفَيْتَنِيهِ، فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ، وَصَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ، وَمُنْتَهى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً، وَلَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلاً ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, and Abu Talib, from Bakr Bin Muhammad,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘(Say), ‘O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are my reliance during every worry, and Youazwj are my hope during every difficulty, and Yourazwj are for me during every matter which descends with me, as a Trustworthy and the Resource. And how many worries were such that the heart was weakened from it, and the plans were scarce with regards to it, and the end near ones and the far ones abandoned from it, and the enemies gloated with it, and the life-time was exhausted in it.

I revealed it to Youazwj and complained of it to Youazwj , turning away from the ones besides Youazwj . Therefore, Relieve it and Remove it and Suffice for it, for Youazwj are the Patron of every Bounty and a Companion of every need, and the End-point of every desire. So, for Youazwj is the abundant Praise, and for Youazwj is the extra Favours (to Grant)’.41

6. عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ، عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْقُمِّيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « قُلِ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَلَالِكَ وَجَمَالِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ».

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Aban, from Isa Bin Abdullah Al Qummy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Say, ‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Majesty and Yourazwj Beauty and Yourazwj benevolence that Youazwj Do for me such and such’.42

7. عَنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ يُونُسَ: عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي: « أَكْثِرْ مِنْ أَنْ تَقُولَ: اللهُمَّ لَاتَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ‌ الْمُعَارِينَ، وَلَاتُخْرِجْنِي مِنَ التَّقْصِيرِ ».

قَالَ: قُلْتُ: أَمَّا الْمُعَارِينَ فَقَدْ عَرَفْتُ، فَمَا مَعْنى « لَا تُخْرِجْنِي مِنَ التَّقْصِيرِ »؟

قَالَ: « كُلُّ عَمَلٍ تَعْمَلُهُ تُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَ اللهِ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ فَكُنْ فِيهِ مُقَصِّراً عِنْدَ نَفْسِكَ ؛ فَإِنَّ النَّاسَ كُلَّهُمْ فِي أَعْمَالِهِمْ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ اللهِ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ مُقَصِّرُونَ ».

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Fazl Bin Yunus,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Al-Hassanasws , said, ‘Heasws said to me: ‘You should frequent in saying, ‘O Allahazwj ! Do not Make me to be from the ones of temporary Eman, nor Exit me from the deficiency (Taqseer)’. I said, ‘As for the ones of temporary Eman, so I have recognised, but what is the meaning of’Do not Exit me from the deficiency (Taqseer)?’

Heasws said: ‘Every deed you perform intending the Face of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic by it, so become a deficient one (Muqassir) within yourself, for the people, all of them, in their deeds regarding what is between them and Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic, are (all) deficient (Muqassireen)’’.43

8. عَنْهُ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ أَبَانٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمنِ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ، قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : « لَقَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ بِكَلِمَتَيْنِ دَعَا بِهِمَا، قَالَ: “اللهُمَّ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذلِكَ أَنَا، وَإِنْ تَغْفِرْ لِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذلِكَ أَنْتَ” ؛ فَغَفَرَ اللهُ لَهُ ».

From him, from Ibn Mahboub, from Aban, from Abdul Rahman Bin Ayn who said,

‘Abu Ja’farasws said: ‘Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic had Forgiven a man from the people of the valleys due to two phrases he supplicated with. He said, ‘O Allahazwj ! If Youazwj were to Punish me, so I am deserving of that, and if Youazwj were to Forgive me, so Youazwj are Rightful with it’. So Allahazwj Forgave him’.44

9. عَنْهُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي الْبِلَادِ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ: عَنِ الرِّضَاعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « يَا مَنْ دَلَّنِي عَلى نَفْسِهِ، وَذَلَّلَ قَلْبِي بِتَصْدِيقِهِ، أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمْنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ ».

From him, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Al Balaad, from his uncle,

(It has been narrated) from Al-Rezaasws having said: ‘(Say), ‘O the One Who Pointed me upon myself and Humbled my heart by Ratifying Himazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the security, and the Eman in the world and the Hereafter’’.45

10. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِعليهما‌السلام فِي فِنَاءِ الْكَعْبَةِ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَهُوَ يُصَلِّي، فَأَطَالَ الْقِيَامَ حَتّى جَعَلَ مَرَّةً يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلى رِجْلِهِ الْيُمْنى، وَمَرَّةً عَلى رِجْلِهِ الْيُسْرى، ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بِصَوْتٍ كَأَنَّهُ بَاكٍ: « يَا سَيِّدِي، تُعَذِّبُنِي وَحُبُّكَ فِي قَلْبِي؟! أَمَا وَعِزَّتِكَ، لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ لَتَجْمَعَنَّ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ قَوْمٍ طَالَ مَا عَادَيْتُهُمْ فِيكَ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muhammad Bin Abu Hamza, from his father who said,

‘I saw Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws in the courtyard of the Kabah during the night and heasws was praying Salāt, and heasws prolonged the standing until he repeatedly leaned upon hisasws right leg, and at times upon hisasws left leg. Then I heard himasws saying in a voice as if heasws was crying. (The suppliction is):

‘O my Master! Will Youazwj Punish me while Yourazwj Love is in myasws heart? But, by Yourazwj Mighty, if Youazwj Do so, Youazwj would be Gathering between measws and the group of people with whom Iasws have prolonged being their enemy for Yourazwj Sake’’.46

11. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ بَعْضِ‌ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ، قَالَ: إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَسْمَعُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام أَكْثَرَ مَا يُلِحُّ بِهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ عَلَى اللهِ بِحَقِّ الْخَمْسَةِ يَعْنِي رَسُولَ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم وَأَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَفَاطِمَةَ وَالْحَسَنَ وَالْحُسَيْنَ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمْ.

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Umar Bin Abdul Aziz, from one of our companions, from Dawood Al Raqyy who said,

‘I used to frequently hear Abu Abdullahasws what heasws would frequently supplicate to Allahazwj ,

By the right of the (Holy) Five – meaning Rasool-Allahsaww , and Amir Al Momineenasws , and Fatimaasws , and Al Hassanasws and Al Husaynasws ’’.47

12. عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْكَرْخِيِّ، قَالَ: عَلَّمَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام دُعَاءً، وَأَمَرَنَا أَنْ نَدْعُوَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ: « اللهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَمَّدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي، وَأَنْزَلْتُ بِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي وَمَسْكَنَتِي، فَأَنَا الْيَوْمَ لِمَغْفِرَتِكَ أَرْجى مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي، وَلَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي، فَتَوَلَّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ هِيَ لِي، بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا، وَتَيْسِيرِ ذلِكَ عَلَيْكَ، وَلِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ ؛ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلاَّ مِنْكَ، وَلَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي أَحَدٌ شَرّاً قَطُّ غَيْرُكَ، وَلَيْسَ أَرْجُو لآِخِرَتِي وَدُنْيَايَ سِوَاكَ، وَلَالِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي وَيَوْمِ يُفْرِدُنِي النَّاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي‌ وَأُفْضِي إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ بِفَقْرِي ».

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Abu Ayoub, from Ibrahim Al Karkhy who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws taught us a supplication and instructed us that we should be supplicating with it on the day of Friday: ‘(Say), ‘O Allahazwj ! I have deliberated to Youazwj with my need and revealed to Youazwj today, my poverty and my destitution. Thus, today, I am hoping for Yourazwj Forgiveness for my deeds, and for Yourazwj Forgiveness and Yourazwj Mercy which is more Capacious than my sins.

So Undertake the fulfilment of every need which is for me, by Yourazwj Power over it, and that is Easy upon Youazwj and my poverty to Youazwj , for I cannot attain goodness at all except from Youazwj , and no one can exchange evil from me at all apart from Youazwj , and I do not hope for my Hereafter and my world (to anyone) besides Youazwj , nor for my day of poverty and the day of my isolation from the people in my pit (grave), and I am panicking to Youazwj , O Lordazwj , with my poverty’.48

13. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ الصَّائِغِ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : ادْعُ اللهَ لَنَا، فَقَالَ: « اللهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُمْ صِدْقَ الْحَدِيثِ، وَأَدَاءَ الْأَمَانَةِ، وَالْمُحَافَظَةَ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ ؛ اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ أَحَقُّ خَلْقِكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَهُ بِهِمُ، اللهُمَّ وَ افْعَلْهُ بِهِمْ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Al Husayn Bin Atiyya, from Zayd Al Saig who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘Supplicate to Allahazwj for us’. So heasws said: ‘O Allahazwj ! Grace them the truthful narrations, and payment of the entrustment, and the preservation upon the Salāt. O Allahazwj ! They are the most deserving of Yourazwj creatures that Youazwj Grant them (Favours). O Allahazwj , and Grant them (Favours)’’.49

14. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ ؛ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ: عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِعليهما‌السلام ، قَالَ: « كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ـ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ ـ يَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ، وَالتَّفْوِيضِ إِلَيْكَ، وَالرِّضَا بِقَدَرِكَ، وَالتَّسْلِيمِ لِأَمْرِكَ حَتّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ، وَلَاتَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ، يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ».

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abu Hamza,

(It has been narrated) from Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineenasws was saying: ‘O Allahazwj ! Bestow upon measws with the reliance upon Youazwj , and the delegation to Youazwj (of the affairs), and the pleasure with Yourazwj Ordainment, and the submission to Yourazwj Command, until Iasws do not love the hastening of whatever Youazwj Delay, nor the delay of what Youazwj Hasten, O Lordazwj of the worlds’’.50

15. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ وَهُوَ رَافِعٌ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ: « رَبِّ لَاتَكِلْنِي إِلى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً، لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذلِكَ وَلَاأَكْثَرَ ».

قَالَ: فَمَا كَانَ بِأَسْرَعَ مِنْ أَنْ تَحَدَّرَ الدُّمُوعُ مِنْ جَوَانِبِ لِحْيَتِهِ، ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ، فَقَالَ: « يَا ابْنَ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ، إِنَّ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَتّى وَكَلَهُ اللهُ ـ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ـ إِلى نَفْسِهِ أَقَلَّ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ، فَأَحْدَثَ ذلِكَ الذَّنْبَ ».

قُلْتُ: فَبَلَغَ بِهِ كُفْراً، أَصْلَحَكَ اللهُ؟

قَالَ: « لَا، وَلكِنَّ الْمَوْتَ عَلى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ هَلَاكٌ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Suheym, from Ibn Abu Yafour who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying while heasws was raising hisasws hand towards the sky: ‘O Lordazwj ! Do not Leave me to myself (even) for the blink of an eye, ever, neither less than that nor more’.

He (the narrator) said, ‘So it was with immediate flow of the tears from the sides of hisasws beard. Then heasws turned towards me and heasws said: ‘O Ibn Abu Yafour! Yunus Bin Mattara, Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic Left himas to himselfas for less than the blink of an eye, so heas committed that sin’. I said, ‘So did heas reach disbelief with it, may Allahazwj Keep youasws well!?’ Heasws said: ‘No, but the death upon that state is destruction’.51

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, raising it,

‘Heasws said: ‘Jibraeelas came over to the Prophetas and said to himsaww : ‘Yoursaww Lordazwj is Saying to yousaww : “Whenever yousaww to worship Meazwj for a day and night as is the right of Myazwj worship, so raise yoursaww hands towards Meazwj and say: -

‘O Allahazwj !

There is no god except Youazwj , Alone. There is no associate for Youazwj . Neither do we worship any apart from Youazwj , nor do we ask except Youazwj , nor do we turn towards except to Youazwj . Youazwj are the place of (placing) our complaints, and the end-point of our hopes, and (Youazwj are) our Godazwj and our King’’.52

17. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ: « يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ، أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ، فَشَكَا إلَيْهِ الْإِبْطَاءَ فِي الْجَوَابِ فِي دُعَائِهِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ: فأَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ السَّرِيعِ الْإِجَابَةِ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ: مَا هُوَ؟

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, form Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘Abu Abdullahhasws said to me, initiating from himselfasws : ‘O Muawiya! Do you not know that a man came over to Amir Al-Momineenasws , so he complained of the slowness upon him regarding the Answer of his supplication. So heasws said to him: ‘Where are you from the supplication of the quick response?’ So the man said to him, ‘What is it?’

Heasws said: ‘Say,

‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, and most Majestic, the most Benevolent, the most Treasured, the Light, the Truth, the Manifest Proof which it is a Light with a Light, and a light from a Light, and a Light in a Light, and a Light upon a Light, and a Light above every Light, and a Light by which every darkness is illuminated, and by which everything is broken down, and every Expelled Satanla , and every tenacious tyrant.

Neither can the earth bear it nor can the sky stand by it; and every fearful ones is secured by it; and there is invalidated by it the magic of every magician, and the rebellion of every rebel, and the envy of every envying one; and the land and the sea crack up due to its Magnificence, and the ships sail by it when the Angels speak with it, so there does not happen to be a way for the waves upon it, and it is Yourazwj most Magnificent Name and the most Majestic, the Great Light which Youazwj Named Yourselfazwj with and Established Yourselfazwj upon the Throne with it.

And I divert to Youazwj by Muhammadsaww and the Peopleasws of hissaww Household. I ask Youazwj by Youazwj and by themasws that Youazwj Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and that Youazwj (please) Resolve such and such with me’’.53

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Khalaf Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Abu Al Miqdam who said,

‘This supplication was dictated upon me by Abu Abdullahazwj , and it is comprehensive for the world and the Hereafter. You should be saying after the Praise of Allahazwj and the Laudation upon Himazwj : -

O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are Allahazwj . There is no god except Youazwj , the Forbearing, the Benevolent; and Youazwj are Allahazwj . There is no god except Youazwj , the Mighty, the Wise.

And Youazwj are Allahazwj . There is no god except Youazwj , Knower of everything. Yourazwj Light is Perfect, so Youazwj Guide, and Yourazwj Hand Extends, so Youazwj Give. Our Lordazwj ! Yourazwj Face is Benevolent, and Yourazwj Perspective is the best of the perspectives, and Yourazwj Gift is the most superior of the Gifts and the most welcoming.

Youazwj are obeyed, our Lordazwj , so Youazwj are Grateful, and Youazwj are disobeyed, our Lordazwj , so Youazwj Forgive the one Youazwj so Desire to. Youazwj Answer the desperate ones, and Remove the evil, and Accept the repentance, and Pardon from the sins. Yourazwj Aid cannot be exceeded (by anyone else), nor can Yourazwj Bounties be counted, nor can Yourazwj Eulogy cannot be reached by the words of the speaker.

O Allahazwj ! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammad, and Hasten theirasws relief, and theirasws comfort, and theirasws rest, and theirasws joy, and Cause me to taste the food (pleasure) of theirasws relief, and Destroy theirasws enemies from the Jinn and the human beings, and Give us goodness in the world and goodness in the Hereafter, and Save us from the Punishment of the Fire, and Make us to be from those who [2: 62] there would be no fear for them, nor shall they be grieving.

And Make me to be from [16: 42] Those who are patient and upon their Lord they are relying, and Affirm me [14: 27] with the firm Word in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Bless for me in the life, and the death, and the Pausing, and the Resurrection, and the Reckoning, and the Scale, and the Horrors on the Day of Judgment, and Secure me upon the Bridge, and Allow me (to pass) upon it, and Grace me beneficial knowledge, and sincere conviction, and piety, and righteousness, and devoutness, and fear from Youazwj , and a separation (from others) making me reach closer to Youazwj and not distancing me from Youazwj .

And Love me and do not Hate me, and Befriend me and do not Abandon me, and Give me from the entirety of the goodness of the world and the Hereafter, what I know of and what I do not know of, and Rescue me from the evil, all of it, by it strictness, what I know from it and what I do not know’’.54

19. عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : أَلَاتَخُصُّنِي بِدُعَاءٍ؟

قَالَ: « بَلى ؛ قُلْ: يَا وَاحِدُ، يَا مَاجِدُ، يَا أَحَدُ، يَا صَمَدُ، يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ، يَا عَزِيزُ، يَا كَرِيمُ، يَا حَنَّانُ، يَا سَامِعَ الدَّعَوَاتِ، يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ سُئِلَ، وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ أَعْطى، يَا أَللهُ، يَا أَللهُ، يَا أَللهُ ».

قُلْتُ: وَلَقَدْ نَادَانَا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ.

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم يَقُولُ: نَعَمْ، لَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُ أَنْتَ، وَنِعْمَ الْمَدْعُوُّ، وَنِعْمَ الْمَسْؤُولُ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَقُدْرَتِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَلَكُوتِكَ وَدِرْعِكَ الْحَصِينَةِ، وَبِجَمْعِكَ وَأَرْكَانِكَ كُلِّهَا، وَبِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَبِحَقِّ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ بَعْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ».

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘Can youasws specialise me with a supplication?’ Heasws said: ‘Yes’.

Heasws said: ‘Say, ‘O the One, O Glorified, O the First, O the Last, O the One Who does not beget and is not begotten and there does not happen anyone to be a match for Himazwj ! O the Mighty, O the Benevolent, O the Affectionate, O the Benefactor, O the Hearer of the supplications, O the most Generous of the asked ones, and O the Best of the ones who give. O Allahazwj ! O Allahazwj !’. I said, ‘[37: 75] And Nuh did call upon Us, so the most excellent Responders are We’.

Then Abu Abdullahasws said: ‘Rasool-Allahsaww was saying: ‘Yes, Youazwj are the Best of the Responders, and the best of the ones supplicated to, and best of the ones asked from’.

(Say), ‘I ask Youazwj by the Light of Yourazwj Face, and I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Might, and Yourazwj Power, and Yourazwj Compulsion, and I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Kingdom, and Yourazwj Fortified Shield, and by Yourazwj Grip, and Yourazwj Elements, all of them, and by the right of Muhammadsaww , and by the right of the successorsas after Muhammadsaww , that Youazwj should Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and that Youazwj should Do such and such with me’’.55

20. عَنْهُ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ، عَنْ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمُكَارِي وَجَهْمِ بْنِ أَبِي جَهْمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ـ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ كَانَ يُعْرَفُ بِكُنْيَتِهِ ـ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ، فَقَالَ: « نَعَمْ، قُلْ: يَا مَنْ أَرْجُوهُ لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَيَا مَنْ آمَنُ سَخَطَهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ عَثْرَةٍ، وَيَا مَنْ يُعْطِي بِالْقَلِيلِ الْكَثِيرَ، يَا مَنْ أَعْطى مَنْ سَأَلَهُ تُحَنُّناً مِنْهُ وَرَحْمَةً، يَا مَنْ أَعْطى مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ وَلَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَعْطِنِي بِمَسْأَلَتِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَجَمِيعِ خَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ، فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَنْقُوصٍ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي، وَزِدْنِي مِنْ سَعَةِ فَضْلِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ ».

From him, from one of his companions, from Husayn Bin Umara, from Husayn Bin Abu Saeed Al Mukary and Jahm Bin Abu Jahma, from Abu Ja’far, a man from the people of Al Kufa who is well-known by his teknonym, said,

‘I said to Abu Abdullahasws , ‘Teach me a supplication I can supplicate with’. So heasws said: ‘Yes, say,

‘O the One I can hope to for every goodness, and O the One I can be safe from Hisazwj Wrath during every stumble, and O the One Who Gives a lot due to a little, O the One Who Give to the one who asks Himazwj as a Compassion from Himazwj and a Mercy. O the One who Gives to the one who does not (even) ask Himazwj and does not know Himazwj ! Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and Give me due to my asking, from the entirety of goodness of the world and the entirety of the goodness of the Hereafter, for it is without a deficient what Youazwj have already Given me, and Increase it for me from the Expansiveness of Yourazwj Grace, O Benevolent!’’.56

21. وَعَنْهُ، رَفَعَهُ إِلى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍعليه‌السلام : أَنَّهُ عَلَّمَ أَخَاهُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ هذَا الدُّعَاءَ: « اللهُمَّ ارْفَعْ ظَنِّي صَاعِداً، وَلَاتُطْمِعْ فِيَّ عَدُوّاً وَلَاحَاسِداً، وَاحْفَظْنِي قَائِماً وَقَاعِداً، وَيَقْظَانَ وَرَاقِداً ؛ اللهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَارْحَمْنِي، وَاهْدِنِي سَبِيلَكَ الْأَقْوَمَ، وَقِنِي حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ، وَاحْطُطْ عَنِّي الْمَغْرَمَ وَالْمَأْثَمَ، وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ خِيَارِ الْعَالَمِ ».

And from him,

(It has been narrated) raising it to Abu Ja’farasws that heasws taught his brother Abdullah Bin Ali, this supplication:

‘O Allahazwj ! Raise my thinking upwards and do not Let them covet me, neither an enemy nor an envying one, and Protect me standing, and sitting, and Wake us up (awake) and sleeping. O Allahazwj ! Forgive (my sins) for me, and have Mercy on me, and Guide me to Yourazwj Way, the Straight, and Save me from the heat of Hell, and Shake off the creditors and the sins from me, and Make me to be from the best of choicest of the world’.57

22. مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عِيسى، وَ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام يَقُولُ: « ارْحَمْنِي مِمَّا لَاطَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ، وَلَاصَبْرَ لِي عَلَيْهِ ».

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin saeed, from Usman Bin Isa and Haroun Bin Kharjat who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullahasws saying:

‘Have Mercy on measws from what there is no strength for me with I, nor any patience for measws upon it’.58

23. عَنْهُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ حَفْصٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ: عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً، فَقَالَ: « فَأَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنْ دُعَاءِ الْإِلْحَاحِ؟ » قَالَ: قُلْتُ: وَمَا دُعَاءُ الْإِلْحَاحِ ؟

فَقَالَ: « اللهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ، وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَرَبَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَمِيكَائِيلَ وَإِسْرَافِيلَ، وَرَبَّ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ، وَرَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ، إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِالَّذِي تَقُومُ بِهِ السَّمَاءُ، وَبِهِ تَقُومُ الْأَرْضُ، وَبِهِ تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْجَمْعِ، وَبِهِ تَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الْمُتَفَرِّقِ، وَبِهِ تَرْزُقُ الْأَحْيَاءَ، وَبِهِ أَحْصَيْتَ عَدَدَ الرِّمَالِ، وَوَزْنَ الْجِبَالِ، وَكَيْلَ الْبُحُورِ ؛ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُهُ حَاجَتَكَ، وَأَلِحَّ فِي الطَّلَبِ ».

From him, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazar Bin Suweyd, fro mIbn Sinan, from Hafs, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,

‘I said to himasws , ‘Teach me a supplication’. So heasws said: ‘So where are you from the supplication of the urgency?’ I said, ‘And what is the supplication of the urgency?’

So heasws said: ‘(say), ‘O Allahazwj ! Lordazwj of the seven skies and what is between these, and Lordazwj of the Magnificent Throne, and Lordazwj of Jibraeelas , and Mikaeelas , and Israfeelas , and Lordazwj of the Magnificent Quran, and Lordazwj of Muhammadsaww , the last of the Prophetsas ! I ask Youazwj by which Youazwj are Regulating the sky, and by which Youazwj are Regulating the earth, and by it Youazwj are Separating the gathered ones, and by it Youazwj are Gathering the separated ones; and by it Youazwj are Sustaining the living beings, and by it Youazwj are Counting the grains of sand, and the weight of the mountains, and the measurement of the oceans’.

Then you should send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww . Then you should ask Himazwj your need, and be insistent in the seeking’.59

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Hassan Bin Ali, from Karram, from Ibn Abu Yafour,

24. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ كَرَّامٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: « اللهُمَّ امْلَأْ قَلْبِي حُبّاً لَكَ، وَخَشْيَةً مِنْكَ، وَتَصْدِيقاً وَإِيمَاناً بِكَ، وَفَرَقاً مِنْكَ، وَشَوْقاً إِلَيْكَ، يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، اللهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ لِقَاءَكَ، وَاجْعَلْ لِي فِي لِقَائِكَ خَيْرَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَالْبَرَكَةِ، وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِالصَّالِحِينَ، وَلَاتُؤَخِّرْنِي مَعَ الْأَشْرَارِ، وَأَلْحِقْنِي بِصَالِحِ مَنْ مَضى، وَاجْعَلْنِي مَعَ صَالِحِ مَنْ بَقِيَ، وَخُذْ بِي سَبِيلَ الصَّالِحِينَ، وَأَعِنِّي عَلى نَفْسِي بِمَا تُعِينُ بِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ عَلى‌ أَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَلَاتَرُدَّنِي فِي سُوءٍ اسْتَنْقَذْتَنِي مِنْهُ، يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً لَاأَجَلَ لَهُ دُونَ لِقَائِكَ، تُحْيِينِي وَتُمِيتُنِي عَلَيْهِ، وَتَبْعَثُنِي عَلَيْهِ إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي، وَابْرَأْ قَلْبِي مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ وَالسُّمْعَةِ وَالشَّكِّ فِي دِينِكَ.

اللهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي نَصْراً فِي دِينِكَ، وَقُوَّةً فِي عِبَادَتِكَ، وَفَهْماً فِي خَلْقِكَ، وَكِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَبَيِّضْ وَجْهِي بِنُورِكَ، وَاجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ، وَتَوَفَّنِي فِي سَبِيلِكَ عَلى مِلَّتِكَ وَمِلَّةِ رَسُولِكَ.

اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَالْهَرَمِ وَالْجُبْنِ وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ وَالْقَسْوَةِ وَالْفَتْرَةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَاتَشْبَعُ، وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لَايَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَايُسْمَعُ، وَمِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَاتَنْفَعُ، وَأُعِيذُ بِكَ نَفْسِي وَأَهْلِي وَذُرِّيَّتِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ.

اللهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَايُجِيرُنِي مِنْكَ أَحَدٌ، وَلَاأَجِدُ مِنْ دُونِكَ مُلْتَحَداً، فَلَا تَخْذُلْنِي، وَلَاتُرْدِنِي فِي هَلَكَةٍ، وَلَاتُرِدْنِي بِعَذَابٍ، أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ عَلى دِينِكَ، وَالتَّصْدِيقَ بِكِتَابِكَ، وَاتِّبَاعَ رَسُولِكَ.

اللهُمَّ اذْكُرْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَلَاتَذْكُرْنِي بِخَطِيئَتِي، وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي، وَزِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَاغِبٌ.

اللهُمَّ اجْعَلْ ثَوَابَ مَنْطِقِي وَثَوَابَ مَجْلِسِي رِضَاكَ عَنِّي، وَاجْعَلْ عَمَلِي وَدُعَائِي خَالِصاً لَكَ، وَاجْعَلْ ثَوَابِيَ الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، وَاجْمَعْ لِي جَمِيعَ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ، وَزِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ رَاغِبٌ.

اللهُمَّ غَارَتِ النُّجُومُ، وَنَامَتِ الْعُيُونُ، وَأَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ، لَايُوَارِي مِنْكَ لَيْلٌ سَاجٍ، وَلَاسَمَاءٌ ذَاتُ أَبْرَاجٍ، وَلَاأَرْضٌ ذَاتُ مِهَادٍ، وَلَابَحْرٌ لُجِّيٌّ، وَلَاظُلُمَاتٌ بَعْضُهَا فَوْقَ بَعْضٍ، تُدْلِجُ الرَّحْمَةَ عَلى مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، تَعْلَمُ خَائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ‌ وَمَا تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ، أَشْهَدُ بِمَا شَهِدْتَ بِهِ عَلى نَفْسِكَ، وَشَهِدَتْ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ، لَاإِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ عَلى ما شَهِدْتَ بِهِ عَلى نَفْسِكَ، وَشَهِدَتْ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَأُولُو الْعِلْمِ، فَاكْتُبْ شَهَادَتِي مَكَانَ شَهَادَتِهِمْ

اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ، وَمِنْكَ السَّلَامُ، أَسْأَلُكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْإِكْرَامِ، أَنْ تَفُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ ».

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws , that heasws used to recite (the following supplication):

‘O Allahazwj ! Fill my heart with love for Youazwj , and humbleness from Youazwj , and ratification and Eman in Youazwj , and distinction from Youazwj , and desire to Youazwj , O the One with the Majesty and the Benevolence!

O Allahazwj ! Cause me to love meeting Youazwj , and Make for me, during Yourazwj meeting, best of the Mercy and the Blessings, and Join me with the righteous ones and do not Delay me with the evil ones, and Join me with the righteous ones of the past and Make me to be with the righteous ones who remain, and Take me to the way of the righteous ones, and Assist me upon myself with what Youazwj Assisted the righteous ones upon themselves, and do not Repel me to be in evil but Youazwj would be Rescuing me from it.

O Lordazwj of the worlds! I ask Youazwj for Eman there being nor reason for it except Meeting Youazwj , Causing me to live, and Causing me to die upon it, and Resurrecting me upon it when Youazwj do Resurrect me, and free my heart from the show-off, and to be heard of, and the doubts in Yourazwj Religion. O Allahazwj ! Give me victory in Yourazwj Religion, and strength to be in Yourazwj worship, and understanding in Yourazwj creation, and two portion from Yourazwj Mercy (57: 28), and Whiten my face with Yourazwj Noor (Light), and Make my desire to be in what is with Youazwj , and Cause me to pass away being in Yourazwj Way, upon Yourazwj Religion, and Religion of Yourazwj Rasoolsaww .

O Allahazwj ! I seek Refuge with Youazwj from the laziness, and the infirmity (of old age), and the cowardice, and the stinginess, and the neglect-fullness, and the cruelness, and the weakness, and the destitution. And I seek Refuge with Youazwj , O Lordazwj , from a self not being satiated, and from a heart not fearing, and from a supplication not being heard, and from a Salāt not being beneficial. And I seek Refuge with Youazwj for myselfasws , and myasws family, and myasws offspring, from the Pelted Satanla .

O Allahazwj ! It is such that no one can Rescue me from Youazwj , and I cannot find anyone as a Shelter besides Youazwj . Therefore, do not Abandon me, and do not Repel me to be in destruction, nor Repel me to be in a Punishment. I ask Youazwj of the steadfastness upon Yourazwj Religion, and the ratification of Yourazwj Book, and following of Yourazwj Rasoolsaww . O Allahazwj ! Remember me by Yourazwj Mercy, and do not Remember me with my mistakes, and Accept from me, and increase for me from Yourazwj Grace, I am being hopeful to Youazwj .

O Allahazwj ! Make the Reward of myasws speaking, and the Reward for my sitting as being Yourazwj Pleasure from me, and Make my deeds and my supplication to be sincerely for Youazwj , and Make my Reward to be the Paradise by Yourazwj Mercy,

and Make to be for me the entirety of what I am asking Youazwj for, and Increase it for me from Yourazwj Grace, I am being hopeful to Youazwj .

O Allahazwj ! The stars have disappeared, and the eyes are sleeping, and Youazwj are the Living, the Eternal. Neither is the dark night hidden from Youazwj , nor is the sky with the constellations, nor the earth with the flatness, nor the unfathomable ocean, nor the darkness on top of each other. Youazwj Bestow the Mercy upon the one whom Youazwj so Desire to from Yourazwj creatures. Youazwj Know the betrayal of the eyes and what the chests conceal.

I testify with what Youazwj Testified with upon Yourselfazwj , and Yourazwj Angels testified with, and the ones with the knowledge, that, there is no god except Youazwj , the Mighty, the Wise; and the ones who do not testify with what Youazwj Testified with upon Yourselfazwj and (what) Yourazwj Angels testified with, and (what) the ones with the knowledge (testified with), so Write my testimony in place of their testimonies.

O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are the (source of) the Peace and from Youazwj is the Peace. I ask Youazwj , O One with the Majesty and the Benevolence, that Youazwj Liberate my neck from the Fire’.60

25. عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْخَثْعَمِيِّ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام ، قَالَ: « إِنَّ أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَتى رَسُولَ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم وَمَعَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُعليه‌السلام فِي صُورَةِ دِحْيَةَ الْكَلْبِيِّ وَقَدِ اسْتَخْلَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَلَمَّا رَآهُمَا انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُمَا، وَلَمْ يَقْطَعْ كَلَامَهُمَا، فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُعليه‌السلام : يَا مُحَمَّدُ، هذَا أَبُو ذَرٍّ قَدْ مَرَّ بِنَا وَلَمْ يُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْنَا، أَمَا لَوْ سَلَّمَ لَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ ؛ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، إِنَّ لَهُ دُعَاءً يَدْعُو بِهِ مَعْرُوفاً عِنْدَ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ، فَسَلْهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا عَرَجْتُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ.

فَلَمَّا ارْتَفَعَ جَبْرَئِيلُ جَاءَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : مَا مَنَعَكَ ـ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ ـ أَنْ تَكُونَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَيْنَا حِينَ مَرَرْتَ بِنَا؟

فَقَالَ: ظَنَنْتُ ـ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ـ أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ مَعَكَ دِحْيَةُ الْكَلْبِيُّ قَدِ اسْتَخْلَيْتَهُ لِبَعْضِ شَأْنِكَ، فَقَالَ: ذَاكَ جَبْرَئِيلُعليه‌السلام يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ، وَقَدْ قَالَ: أَمَا لَوْ سَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا لَرَدَدْنَا عَلَيْهِ. فَلَمَّا عَلِمَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ أَنَّهُ كَانَ جَبْرَئِيلَعليه‌السلام ، دَخَلَهُ مِنَ النَّدَامَةِ ـ حَيْثُ لَمْ يُسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ ـ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ.

فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِصلى‌الله‌عليه‌وآله‌وسلم : مَا هذَا الدُّعَاءُ الَّذِي تَدْعُو بِهِ؟ فَقَدْ أَخْبَرَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُعليه‌السلام أَنَّ لَكَ دُعَاءً تَدْعُو بِهِ مَعْرُوفاً فِي السَّمَاءِ.

فَقَالَ: نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَقُولُ: اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمْنَ وَالْإِيمَانَ بِكَ، وَالتَّصْدِيقَ بِنَبِيِّكَ، وَالْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَلَاءِ، وَالشُّكْرَ عَلَى الْعَافِيَةِ، وَالْغِنى عَنْ شِرَارِ النَّاسِ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Khas’amy,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Abu Zarrra came over to the Prophetsaww , and with himsaww was Jibraeelas in the image of Dihyat Al Kalby (name of a man), and Rasool-Allahsaww had isolated with himas . So when he (Abu Zarrra) saw themasws , hera turned away from the two of themasws , and did not cut off theirasws conversation. So Jibraeelas said: ‘O Muhammadsaww ! This is Abu Zarrra who has passed by usasws and did not greet upon usasws . But, had hera greeted, weasws would have returned the greeting upon himra. O Muhammadsaww ! For himra there is a supplication hera tends to supplicate with which is well-known among the inhabitants of the sky, therefore ask himra about it, when Ira ascend to the sky’.

So when Jibraeelas ascended, Abu Zarrra came over to the Prophetsaww . So Rasool-Allahsaww said to himas : ‘What prevented youra, O Abu Zarrra, from greeting upon usasws when youra passed by usasws ?’ So hera said: ‘Ira thought, O Rasool-Allahsaww , that who was with yousaww , Dihiyat Al-Kalby, yousaww had isolated with him for one of yoursaww matters’. So hesaww said: ‘That was Jibraeelas , O Abu Zarrra, and heas said: ‘But, had hera greeted, weasws would have returned the greeting upon himra’.

So when Abu Zarrra came to know that it was Jibraeelas , regret entered upon himra why hera did not greet upon himas , for as long as Allahazwj so Desired. So Rasool-Allahsaww said to him: ‘What is this supplication which youra tend to supplicate with, for Jibraeelas informed mesaww that there is a supplication with youra, which youas tend to supplicate with which is well-known in the sky?’

So hera said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allahsaww ! Ira say,

‘O Allahazwj ! Ias ask Youazwj for the safety and the Eman in Youazwj , and the ratification with Yourazwj Prophetsaww , and the well-being from the entirety of the affliction, and the gratefulness upon the well-being, and the needlessness from the evil people’.61

اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مَفَاتِيحَ الْخَيْرِ، وَخَوَاتِيمَهُ، وَسَوَابِغَهُ، وَفَوَائِدَهُ، وَبَرَكَاتِهِ، وَمَا بَلَغَ عِلْمَهُ عِلْمِي، وَمَا قَصَرَ عَنْ إِحْصَائِهِ حِفْظِي.

اللهُمَّ وَأَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ سَكِينَةً، وَأَلْبِسْنِي دِرْعَكَ الْحَصِينَةَ، وَاحْفَظْنِي بِسِتْرِكَ‌ الْوَاقِي، وَجَلِّلْنِي عَافِيَتَكَ النَّافِعَةَ، وَصَدِّقْ قَوْلِي وَفَعَالِي، وَبَارِكْ لِي فِي وُلْدِي وَأَهْلِي وَمَالِي.

اللهُمَّ مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَمَا أَخَّرْتُ وَمَا أَغْفَلْتُ وَمَا تَعَمَّدْتُ وَمَا تَوَانَيْتُ وَمَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَمَا أَسْرَرْتُ، فَاغْفِرْهُ لِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ ».

Ali, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Hamza who said, ‘I took this supplication from Abu Ja’farasws Muhammad Bin Aliasws , and Abu Ja’farasws used to call it, ‘The Comprehensive’.

In the Name of Allahazwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. I testify that there is no god except Allahazwj , Alone, there being no associate for Himazwj . And I testify that Muhammadsaww is Hisazwj servant and Hisazwj Rasoolsaww . I believe in Allahazwj and in the entirety of Hisazwj Rasoolas , and in the entirety of what Heazwj Revealed with upon the entirety of the Rasoolsas , and that the Promise of Allahazwj is True, and Hisazwj Meeting is True, and Allahazwj Spoke the Truth and the Mursil Prophetsas delivered (the Message).

And the Praise is for Allahazwj , Lordazwj of the worlds, and Glory be to Allahazwj every time something Glorifies Allahazwj , and just as Allahazwj Loves that Heazwj be Glorified. And the Praise is for Allahazwj every time something praises Himazwj , and just as Heazwj Loves that Heazwj be Glorifed. And there is no god except Allahazwj every time something Extols the Oneness of Allahazwj , and just as Allahazwj Loves that Heazwj be Extolled. And Allahazwj is the Greatest, every time something exclaims the Greatness of Allahazwj and just as Allahazwj Loves that Hisazwj Greatness be exclaimed.

O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the opening of the goodness, and for its completion, and for its pleasures, and its benefits, and I Blessings, and what my knowledge reaches it, and what my memory falls short of its counting. O Allahazwj ! Draw closer to me the causes for its recognition, and Open its doors for me, and Overwhelm me with the Blessings of Yourazwj Mercy, and Bestow upon me the infallibility from the decline from Yourazwj Religion.

And Purify my heart from the doubts, and do not Let my heart be pre-occupied with my world and my immediate life from the deferred Rewards of my Hereafter, and Pre-occupy my heart with the preservation of what is not Acceptable from me from being ignorant of it, and Humble my tongue for every goodness, and Purify my heart from the showing off, and do not Cause it (showing off) to flow in my joints, and Make my deeds to be sincerely for Youazwj .

O Allahazwj ! I seek Refuge with Youazwj from the evil and the varieties of the immoralities, all of them, its apparent ones and its hidden ones, and its neglectful ones, and the entirety of what the Pelted Satanla intends me with, and what the obstinate ruling authorities intend me with from what his knowledge encompasses, and Youazwj are Able upon Exchanging it from me.

O Allahazwj ! I seek Refuge with Youazwj from the ways of the Jinn and the human beings, and their furies, and their noisy disputes, and their plots, and facing the mischief from the Jinn and the human beings and that they would waver me from my Religion so they would spoil my Hereafter upon me, and that would happen to be harmful upon me during my life-time, or they would present an affliction to hit me from them, there neither being any strength for me with it nor patience for me upon bearing it.

Therefore, do not Try me, O my God, with its sizes so that would prevent me from remembering Youazwj and pre-occupy me from worshipping Youazwj . Youazwj are the Rescuer, the Defender, the Repeller, the Saver from all of that. I ask Youazwj , O Allahazwj , for the ease in my living for what remains of my life-time, I can strengthen by being upon Yourazwj obedience, and reach Yourazwj Pleasure by it, and by it I can come to the House of (eternal) living tomorrow.

And do not Grace me with such a sustenance which would cause me to transgress, and nor Try me with poverty which I would be miserable with, being constrained upon me. Give me an abundant share in my Hereafter, and a capacious living, welcoming, pleasant in my world, and do not Make the world to be a prison upon me, nor Making its separation upon me to be a grief. Rescue me from its strife and Make my deeds therein to be Acceptable, and my striving in it to be grateful.

O Allahazwj ! And the one who intends evil with me, Return it to him with the like of it, and the one who plots against me therein, so Plot (against) him, and Exchange from me its worries from entering upon me, and Plan against the one who plans against me, for Youazwj are the Best of the planners, and Blind from me the eyes of the disbelievers, and the oppressors, and the arrogant ones, and the envious ones.

O Allahazwj ! And Send down the tranquillity upon me, from Youazwj , and Clothe me with Yourazwj Fortified Shield, and Protect me with Yourazwj Defensive Veil, and Wrap me with Yourazwj goodly beneficial health, and Ratify my words and my deeds, and Bless for me regarding my children, and my family, and my wealth.

O Allahazwj ! Whatever I have sent forward, and whatever I have delayed, and whatever I neglected, and whatever I deliberated, and whatever I slackened, and whatever I (did) publicly, and whatever I (did) privately, so Forgive it for me, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’.62

30. عَنْهُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ، عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « يَا عُدَّتِي فِي كُرْبَتِي، وَيَا صَاحِبِي فِي شِدَّتِي، وَيَا وَلِيِّي فِي‌ نِعْمَتِي، وَيَا غِيَاثِي فِي رَغْبَتِي » قَالَ: « وَكَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَعليه‌السلام : اللهُمَّ كَتَبْتَ الْآثَارَ، وَعَلِمْتَ الْأَخْبَارَ، وَاطَّلَعْتَ عَلَى الْأَسْرَارِ، فَحُلْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ الْقُلُوبِ، فَالسِّرُّ عِنْدَكَ عَلَانِيَةٌ، وَالْقُلُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مُفْضَاةٌ، وَإِنَّمَا أَمْرُكَ لِشَيْ‌ءٍ إِذَا أَرَدْتَهُ أَنْ تَقُولَ لَهُ: كُنْ فَيَكُونُ، فَقُلْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِطَاعَتِكَ أَنْ تَدْخُلَ فِي كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْ أَعْضَائِي، وَلَاتُفَارِقَنِي حَتّى أَلْقَاكَ، وَقُلْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ لِمَعْصِيَتِكَ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْ كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْ أَعْضَائِي، فَلَا تَقْرَبَنِي حَتّى أَلْقَاكَ، وَارْزُقْنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَزَهِّدْنِي فِيهَا، وَلَاتَزْوِهَا عَنِّي وَرَغْبَتِي فِيهَا يَا رَحْمَانُ ».

From him, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Yaoub Bin Shuayb,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘O myasws Aider during myasws complains, and myasws Companions during myasws difficulties, and O myasws Guardian in myasws Bounties, and O myasws Helper during myasws wishes!’.

Heasws said: ‘And it was from the supplications of Amir Al-Momineenasws : ‘(Say), ‘O Allahazwj ! Youazwj Write down the impacts, and Know the information, and are Notified upon the secrets. Youazwj are Situated between us and the hearts, therefore the secret with Youazwj is open, and the hearts are broken up to Youazwj , and rather Yourazwj Command for something when Youazwj Intend it is that Youazwj are Saying to it: “Be”, so it comes into being.

So, Say with Yourazwj Mercy to Yourazwj obedience to enter into every part of my body parts, and not to separate from me until I meet Youazwj . And Say with Yourazwj Mercy to Yourazwj disobedience that it should exit from every part of my body parts, so it would not come near me until I meet Youazwj ; and Grace me from the world, and Cause me to be ascetic therein, and not to impede me and my wishes therein, O Beneficent!’’.66

رَبِّ، خَوَّفْتَنِي وَشَوَّقْتَنِي، وَاحْتَجَجْتَ عَلَيَّ بِرِقِّي، وَكَفَلْتَ لِي بِرِزْقِي، فَأَمِنْتُ خَوْفَكَ، وَتَثَبَّطْتُ عَنْ تَشْوِيقِكَ، وَلَمْ أَتَّكِلْ عَلى ضَمَانِكَ، وَتَهَاوَنْتُ بِاحْتِجَاجِكَ.

اللهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ أَمْنِي مِنْكَ فِي هذِهِ الدُّنْيَا خَوْفاً، وَحَوِّلْ تَثَبُّطِي شَوْقاً، وَتَهَاوُنِي بِحُجَّتِكَ فَرَقاً مِنْكَ، ثُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي مِنْ رِزْقِكَ، يَا كَرِيمُ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ رِضَاكَ عِنْدَ السَّخْطَةِ، وَالْفَرْجَةَ عِنْدَ الْكُرْبَةِ، وَالنُّورَ عِنْدَ الظُّلْمَةِ، وَالْبَصِيرَةَ عِنْدَ تَشَبُّهِ الْفِتْنَةِ.

رَبِّ، اجْعَلْ جُنَّتِي مِنْ خَطَايَايَ حَصِينَةً، وَدَرَجَاتِي فِي الْجِنَانِ رَفِيعَةً، وَأَعْمَالِي كُلَّهَا مُتَقَبَّلَةً، وَحَسَنَاتِي مُضَاعَفَةً زَاكِيَةً، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ كُلِّهَا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ، وَمِنْ رَفِيعِ المَطْعَمِ وَالْمَشْرَبِ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَعْلَمُ، وَمِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَاأَعْلَمُ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ الْجَهْلَ بِالْعِلْمِ، وَالْجَفَاءَ بِالْحِلْمِ، وَالْجَوْرَ بِالْعَدْلِ، وَالْقَطِيعَةَ بِالْبِرِّ، وَالْجَزَعَ بِالصَّبْرِ، وَالْهُدى بِالضَّلَالَةِ، وَالْكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمَانِ ».

ابْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ، عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ أَيْضاً مِثْلَهُ. وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ دُعَاءُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمَا، وَزَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ: « آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ ».

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al A’ala Bin Razeyn, from Abdul Rahman Bin Sayaba who said,

‘Abu Abdullahasws gave me this supplication:

‘The Praise is for Allahazwj the Sovereign of the Praise, and its Rightful, and its End-point, and its (rightful) Place. He (became) sincere, the one who professed Hisazwj Oneness, and Guided was the one who worshipped Himazwj , and successful was the one who obeyed Himazwj , and secured was the one who attached himself with Himazwj .

O Allahazwj ! O One with the Benevolence, and the Glory, and the Laudation, and the Beauty, and the Praise! I ask Youazwj by a (manner of) asking of the one who has humbled to Youazwj with his neck, and rubbed his nose (in the ground) for Youazwj , and covered his face (in dust) for Youazwj , and disgraced himself to Youazwj , and his tears flowed from Yourazwj fear, and repeatedly was his crying, and acknowledged to Youazwj of his sins, and exposed his mistakes in Yourazwj Presence, and reflected his audacity in Yourazwj Presence, and his strength weakend during that in Yourazwj Presence, and scarce were his strategies, and the reasons of his deception were cut off from him, and every falsehood has wasted away from him, and his sins have compelled him to a lowly place in front of Youazwj , and his humbleness to Youazwj , and his invocation to Youazwj .

I ask Youazwj , O Allahazwj , a (manner of) asking of the one who is at his status of wishing to Youazwj like his desire and is desperate to Youazwj like his desperation, and is invoking to Youazwj with intense invocation. O Allahazwj ! Have Mercy on the complacency of my speaking, and the lowliness of my position and my sitting, and by humbleness to Youazwj with my neck. I ask Youazwj , O Allahazwj , for the Guidance from the straying, and the insight from the blindness, and the righteous Guidance from the temptations.

And I ask Youazwj for the frequency of the Praise during the prosperity and the beautiful patience during the difficulties, and the best gratefulness during the place of the thankfulness, and the submission during the confusioin. And I ask Youazwj for the strength in obeying Youazwj , and the weakness from disobeying Youazwj , and the fleeing towards Youazwj from Youazwj , and the nearness to Youazwj Lordazwj , in order for me to be pleased and investigate for everything what would Please Youazwj from me in agering Yourazwj creatures seeking Yourazwj Pleasure.

Lordazwj ! Whom can I hope to if Youazwj do not have Mercy on me, or who would be cordial upon me if Youazwj were to Exclude me, or whose pardon would benefit me if Youazwj were to Punish me, or whose gifts can I have expectancy for if Youazwj were to Deprive me, or who could control my prestige if Youazwj were to Degrade me, or whose degradation would harm me if Youazwj were to Honour me.

Lordazwj ! How evil are my deeds, and how ugly are my deeds, and how harsh is my heart, and how long-term are my works and how short is my term (life-span), and these have made me to be audacious upon disobeying the Oneazwj Who Created me.

Lordazwj ! And how good is Yourazwj affliction with me, and the manifestation of Yourazwj Bounties upon me. Abundant upon me are the the Bounties from Youazwj , and I cannot (even) count them, and the gratefulness from me is little regarding what I have been Given, so I was exulted with the Bounties and exposed myself to the afflictions, and forgot from the Remembrance, and rode the ignorance after having the knowledge, and panicked from the justice to the oppression, and exceeded the righteousness to the sinning, and came to be in the fleeing from the fear and the grief.

So how small are my good deeds and its scarcity regarding the abundance of my sinning, and how more are my sins and grievous upon the measurement of the smallness of my stature, and weakness of my limbs.

Lordazwj ! And how long-term are my works during the shortness of my term (life-span), and short is my term regarding the remoteness of (the completion) of my workds, and how ugly is my secretive deeds and my public ones.

Lordazwj ! There is no argument (left) for me that I can argue with, nor is there any excuse for me that I can offer as an excuse, nor is there any gratefulness with me if I were to be Tried and Given if Youazwj do not Assist upon the thanking of what I have been Given.

Lordazwj ! How light would be my scale tomorrow if Youazwj do not Toggle it (in my favour), and how wavering is my tongue if Youazwj do not Affirm it, and how black is my face if Youazwj do not Whiten it.

Lordazwj ! How would it be for me with my sins which have have been commited in the past from me, that have crushed my limbs?

Lordazwj ! How can I seek the lustful desires of the world and cry upon my defeat regarding (achieving) these, and I do not cry while my regrets have intensified upon my disobedience and my audciousness?

Lordazwj ! The temptations of the world invited me, so I responded to these quickly and turned towards these willingly, and the temptations of the Hereafter invited me, so I stayed steadfastedly away from these and was complacent in the response and being quick towards these, just as I had quickly gone to the temptations of the world and its lifeless debris, and its transitory vanities, and its disappearing mirages.

Lordazwj ! Youazwj Frightened me, and Argued against me of my slavery, and Guaranteed for me with my sustenance, but I felt safe from Yourazwj fear, and remained steadfast from Your Encouragement and did not rely upon Yourazwj Guarantee and took lightly with Yourazwj Arguments.

O Allahazwj ! Hasten my security from Youazwj in this world from the fear and horrors which have demoralized my desires and made me take lightly with Yourazwj Arguments separating from Youazwj , then (Please Help) me with what Youazwj have Apportioned for me from Yourazwj sustenance.

O Benevolent! O Benevolent! I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Magnificent Name, of Yourazwj Pleasure during the anger, and the relief dueing the worries, and the Light during the darkness, and the insight during the confusion of the strife.

Lordazwj ! Make my shield to be fortified from my mistakes, and my Levels in the Gardens to be elevated, and my works, all of them, as being Acceptable, and my good deeds to be multiplied, purifying. And I seek Refuge with Youazwj from the strife, all of them, what is apparent from it and what is hidden, and from the lifting of the foods and the drinks, and from the evil of what I know and from the evil of what I do not know. And I seek Refuge with Youazwj from buying the ignorance with the knowledge, and the disloyalty with the forbearance, and the tyranny with the justice, and the cutting off of relationships with the righteousness, and the panic with the patience, and the Guidance with the straying, and the disbelief with the Eman’’.

Ibn Mahboub, from Jameel Bin Salih, that he mentioned as well (a Hadeeth) similar to it, and mentioned that is it a supplication of Aliasws Bin Al-Husaynasws , and there was an increase at the end of it of, ‘Ameen, Lordazwj of the worlds’’.67

أَسْأَلُكَ خَوْفاً تُوقِفُنِي بِهِ عَلى حُدُودِ رِضَاكَ، وَتَشْعَبُ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَهْوَةٍ خَطَرَ بِهَا هَوَايَ، وَاسْتَزَلَّ بِهَا رَأْيِي لِيُجَاوِزَ حَدَّ حَلَالِكَ

أَسْأَلُكَ اللهُمَّ الْأَخْذَ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا تَعْلَمُ، وَتَرْكَ سَيِّئِ كُلِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ، أَوْ أَخْطَأُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ، أَوْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَعْلَمُ.

Ibn Mahboub said, ‘Nuh Abu Al Yaqzan narrated to us,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Supplicate with this supplication, ‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Mercy which cannot be attained from Youazwj except by Yourazwj Pleasure, and the exiting from the entirety of Yourazwj disobedience, and the entering into every thing what Pleases Youazwj , and the salvation from every predicament, and the exiting from every major sin indulged in by me deliberately, or an error by me as a mistake, or there was a faltering with it upon by by the insinuations of the Satanla ’.

I ask Youazwj for the fear which I could stop with upon the limits of Yourazwj Pleasure, and I can diverge by it from every lustful desire insinuated by my desires, and my opinions would falter by it to exceed the Limit if Yourazwj Permissibles.

I ask Youazwj , O Allahazwj , for my taking with the good deeds what Youazwj Know of and neglecting of my evil deeds all of which Youazwj Know of, or my mistakes from where I do not (even) know of, or from where I do know of.

I ask Youazwj of the Expansion in the sustenance, and the ascetism in the subsistence, and the coming out from every confusion by the clarity, and the correctness in every argument, and the truthfulness in the entirety of the places, and being fair with the people from myself regarding whatever is against me or for me, and the subservience in the giving of the justice from the entirety of the situations, the anger and the pleasures, and neglecting the lesser rebellions and its more, in the words from me and the deeds, and the completion of Yourazwj Bounties in the entirety of the things, and the thanking to Youazwj upon it, perhaps Youazwj would be Pleased, and after the Pleasure (as well).

And I ask Youazwj of the goodness during everythin what is to happen wherein is the goodness with the easy matters, all of them, not by its difficult ones. O Benevilent! O Benevolent! O Benevolent! And Open a door of the matter for me in which is the good health, and the relief; and Open its door for me, and Ease its exit for me.

And the one from Yourazwj creatures for whom Youazwj have Empowered upon me, so Seize him from me by his hearing, and his sight, and his tongue, and his hands, and Seize him from his right, and from his left, and from behind him, and from his front, and Prevent him from arriving to me with evil.

Mighty is Yourazwj Vicinity, and Majestic is Yourazwj Laudation of Yourazwj Face, and there is no God apart from Youazwj my Lordazwj , and I am Yourazwj servant.

O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are my hope in every distress, and Youazwj are my reliance in every difficulty, and Youazwj are a Reliable one and One can count upon during every matter which descends with me. So how many worries has my heart been weakend from, and the strategies were scarce with regards to it, and the enemies gloated regarding it, and the matters exhausted me during it.

I present them with Youazwj and complain of it to Youazwj , hoping to Youazwj regarding it from the ones besides Youazwj , so Youazwj Relieve it and Suffice for it, for Youazwj are the Guardian of every Bounty, and Owner of every need, and End-point of every wish. So for Youazwj is the abundant Praise, and for Youazwj is the (Giving of) extra Favours’.68

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Baseer,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws having said: ‘Say, ‘O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the words of the repentants and their deeds, and Light of the Prophetsas and theiras truthfulness, and the salvation of the Mujahideen (soldiers) and their Rewards, and the gratefulness of the Chosen ones and their advice, and the deeds of the Zakireen (Oft-mentioners of Allahazwj ) and their conviction, and Eman of the scholar and their understanding, and the worship of the fearful ones and their humbleness, and wisdom of the jurists and their ways, and fear of the pious ones and their wishes, and the ratification of the Momineen and their reliance (upon Allahazwj ), and hopes of the good doers and their righteousness.

O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the Rewards of the grateful ones, and the status of the ones of Proximity, and the friendship of the Prophetsas .

O Allahazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the fear of the workers for Youazwj , and the deeds of the ones fearful from Youazwj , and the humbleness of the worshippers to Youazwj , and the conviction of the ones relying upon Youazwj , and the reliance of the Momineen with Youazwj .

O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are Knowing of my needs without these being made known, and Youazwj are Capacious for these without any encumberance, and Youazwj are such that no beggar can Exhaust Youazwj , and not attainer can reduce Youazwj (of Yourazwj resources), and no word of a speaker can reach Yourazwj (Rightful) Praise. Youazwj are just as Youazwj are Saying, and above what we are saying.

O Allahazwj ! Make a relief for me to be close-by, and a great Recompense, and a beautiful Veiling. O Allahazwj ! Youazwj Know that I am upon doing injustice to myself, and my extravagance upon it. I have neither taken to be for Youazwj , an opposite, nor a match, nor a female companion nor a son.

O the One Whom the questions do make Himazwj to err! O the One Whom nothing can pre-occupy from anything, nor a hearing from Hearing, nor a sight from Seeing, nor does the insistence of the insisting ones Tire Himazwj . I Ask Youazwj that Youazwj Relieve from me during this time of mine, from where I an expecting and from where I am not expecting. Youazwj will Revive the bones when they are dust, and You are Able upon every thing.

O the One Who received little thanks of mine but did not Deprive me, and grievous were my sins but did not Expose me, and Saw me to be upon the disobedience but did not Confront me, and Created me for which I was Created for, but I did other than what I was Created for. So the Best Master are Youazwj , O my Master, and the most evil worshipper am I. Youazwj Found me and the Best Seeker are Youazwj my Lordazwj and the most evil of the sought ones am I, as Youazwj Know me, I am Yourazwj servant, and son of Yourazwj servant, and son of Yourazwj maid, in front of Youazwj . Do whatever Youazwj so Desire to with me.

O Allahazwj ! The voices have subsided, and the movements have settled, and every beloved is alone with his beloved, and Youazwj are Alone with me. Youazwj are the Beloved to me, therefore Make my being Alone with Youazwj at night to be an Emancipation from the Fire.

O the One Who, there is none above Himazwj to describe for the Knowledge! O the One Who, there is no Defender for the creatures besides Himazwj ! O the First One before everything, and O the last One after everything! O the One Who there are no ingredients for Himazwj ! O the One Who there is no perishing for Hisazwj End, and O the One of Complete Attributes, and O Pardoner of the obeying ones, and O the One Who Surpasses with every language supplicated with, and O the One Whose Pardoning is ancient, and Hisazwj Grip is intense, and Hisazwj Kingdom is straight.

I ask Youazwj by Yourazwj Name Which Youazwj Faced Musaas with, O Allahazwj , O Beneficent, O Merciful! There is no god except Youazwj . O Allahazwj ! Youazwj are the Last. I ask Youazwj that Youazwj Send Salawāt upon Muhammadsaww and the Progenyasws of Muhammadsaww , and that Youazwj Enter me into the Paradise by Yourazwj Mercy’.69

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad, from Muhammad Bin Al Waleed, from Yunus who said,

‘I said to Al-Rezaasws , ‘Teach me a supplication and be brief’. So heasws said: ‘Say, ‘O Oneazwj Who Pointed me to Himselfsaww and Humbled my heart with ratifying Himazwj ! I ask Youazwj for the safety and the Eman’’.70

35. عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ، عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ: عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِعليه‌السلام : « أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَعليه‌السلام ، فَقَالَ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، كَانَ لِي مَالٌ وَرِثْتُهُ، وَلَمْ أُنْفِقْ مِنْهُ دِرْهَماً فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، ثُمَّ اكْتَسَبْتُ مِنْهُ مَالاً، فَلَمْ أُنْفِقْ مِنْهُ دِرْهَماً فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ، فَعَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً يُخْلِفُ عَلَيَّ مَا مَضى، وَيَغْفِرُ لِي مَا عَمِلْتُ، أَوْ عَمَلاً أَعْمَلُهُ.

قَالَ: قُلْ.

قَالَ: وَأَيَّ شَيْ‌ءٍ أَقُولُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ؟

قَالَ: قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ: يَا نُورِي فِي كُلِّ ظُلْمَةٍ، وَيَا أُنْسِي فِي كُلِّ وَحْشَةٍ، وَيَا رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ كُرْبَةٍ، وَيَا ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ، وَيَا دَلِيلِي فِي الضَّلَالَةِ، أَنْتَ دَلِيلِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ دَلَالَةُ الْأَدِلاَّءِ ؛ فَإِنَّ دَلَالَتَكَ لَاتَنْقَطِعُ، وَلَايَضِلُّ مَنْ هَدَيْتَ، أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ فَأَسْبَغْتَ، وَرَزَقْتَنِي فَوَفَّرْتَ، وَغَذَّيْتَنِي فَأَحْسَنْتَ غِذَائِي، وَأَعْطَيْتَنِي فَأَجْزَلْتَ بِلَا اسْتِحْقَاقٍ لِذلِكَ بِفِعْلٍ مِنِّي، وَلكِنِ ابْتِدَاءً مِنْكَ لِكَرَمِكَ وَجُودِكَ، فَتَقَوَّيْتُ بِكَرَمِكَ عَلى مَعَاصِيكَ، وَتَقَوَّيْتُ بِرِزْقِكَ عَلى سَخَطِكَ، وَأَفْنَيْتُ عُمُرِي فِيمَا لَاتُحِبُّ، فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ جُرْأَتِي عَلَيْكَ، وَرُكُوبِي لِمَا نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهُ، وَدُخُولِي فِيمَا حَرَّمْتَ عَلَيَّ أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيَّ‌ بِفَضْلِكَ ؛ وَلَمْ يَمْنَعْنِي حِلْمُكَ عَنِّي، وَعَوْدُكَ عَلَيَّ بِفَضْلِكَ أَنْ عُدْتُ فِي مَعَاصِيكَ ؛ فَأَنْتَ الْعَوَّادُ بِالْفَضْلِ، وَأَنَا الْعَوَّادُ بِالْمَعَاصِي، فَيَا أَكْرَمَ مَنْ أُقِرَّ لَهُ بِذَنْبٍ، وَأَعَزَّ مَنْ خُضِعَ لَهُ بِذُلٍّ، لِكَرَمِكَ أَقْرَرْتُ بِذَنْبِي، وَلِعِزِّكَ خَضَعْتُ بِذُلِّي، فَمَا أَنْتَ صَانِعٌ بِي فِي كَرَمِكَ ؛ وَ إِقْرَارِي بِذَنْبِي، وَعِزِّكَ، وَخُضُوعِي بِذُلِّي: افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ، وَلَاتَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ ».

Ali Bin Hamza, from one of his companions,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullahasws that a man came over to Amir Al-Momineenasws and he said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineenasws ! There used to be wealth for me. I had inherited it and did not spend a Dirham from it in the obedience of Allahazwj Mighty and Majestic. Then I earned wealth from it, but I did not spend Dirham from it in the obedience of Allahazwj . So teach me a supplication replacing upon me what is past and Heazwj would Forgive me what I have done or work that I am doing’.

Heasws said: ‘Say!’ He said, ‘And which thing should I be saying, O Amir Al-Momineenasws ?’ Heasws said: ‘Say just as Iasws am saying: ‘O my Light in every darkness, and O my Comfort in every loneliness, and O my Hope in every distress, and of My Reliance in every difficulty, and O my Direction during the straying! Youazwj are my Guidance when the guidance of the guides is cut off, for Yourazwj Guidance doe not get cut off, nor does he go astray, the one whom Youazwj Guide.

Youazwj Bestowed upon me, so Youazwj were Liberal, and Youazwj Graced me sustenance, so Youazwj were Ample in provision, and Youazwj Fed me with excellent of my food, and You Gave to me, so Youazwj (Chose) the best without me being deserving of that by any deed from me, but Initiated from Youazwj due to Yourazwj Benevolence and Yourazwj generousity.

Thus, I was strengthened upon my disobedience due to Yourazwj Benevolence, and was strengthened upon Yourazwj Wrath by Yourazwj sustenance, and I finished my life regarding what Youazwj do not Love, but Youazwj did not Deprive me despite my audacity to Youazwj and my indulging in what Youazwj had Forbidden from and my entering into what Youazwj had Prohibited upon me, Youazwj (still) Returned upon me with Yourazwj Grace, and did not Deprive me of Yourazwj Forbearance from me and Yourazwj Cordiality upon me with Yourazwj Grace even when I returned to be in Yourazwj disobedience.

So Youazwj are the Liberal with the Grace and I am the liberal in my disobedience. So O Benevolent to the one who acknowledges with Himazwj , and Honourable to the one who succumbs to Himazwj with humiliation to Yourazwj Benevolence, I hereby acknowledge with my sins and I humble myself to Yourazwj Might with my humbleness. So whatever Youazwj Do with me in Yourazwj Benevolence and my acknowledgement with my sins, and Yourazwj Mighty and my subservience with my humiliation, Treat me with what Youazwj are Rightful of and do not Treat with me what I am deserving of’’.71
