(The book) ‘Misbah Al Zaair’ –
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who supplicates to Allah-azwj for forty mornings with this pact would be from the helpers of our‑asws Qaim-ajfj. If he were to die before it, Allah-azwj the Exalted would Extract him from his grave and Give him a thousand good deeds for every word, and Delete a thousand evil deeds, and it is this: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النُّورِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْكُرْسِيِّ الرَّفِيعِ وَ رَبَّ الْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ وَ مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ رَبَّ الظِّلِّ وَ الْحَرُورِ وَ مُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of the Mighty Noor, and Lord-azwj of the lofty Chair, and Lord-azwj of the filled ocean, and Revealer of the Torah and the Evangel and the Psalms, and Lord-azwj of the Shade and the heat, and Revealer of the Mighty Quran, and Lord-azwj of the Angels of Proximity, and the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْمُنِيرِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيمِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ- يَا حَيُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Benevolent Face, and by the radiant Noor of Your-azwj Face and Your-azwj ancient Kingdom! O living! O eternal! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name which You-azwj Shone the skies and the earths with! O One before every life! There is no god except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلَانَا الْإِمَامَ الْهَادِيَ الْمَهْدِيَّ الْقَائِمَ بِأَمْرِكَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا بَرِّهَا وَ بَحْرِهَا وَ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ وَ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ مَا أَحْصَاهُ عِلْمُهُ وَ أَحَاطَ بِهِ كِتَابُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Deliver to our Master-ajfj, the guiding Imam-ajfj, the Guided, the one to rise with Your-azwj Command, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj and upon his-ajfj clean forefathers, on behalf of the Momineen and the Mominaat, in the easts of the earth and its wests, its coasts, and its mountains, its lands, and its oceans, and from me and from my father, (such) Salawaat adorning the Throne of Allah-azwj and extent of His-azwj Words, and what His-azwj Knowledge can count, and His-azwj Book can encompass with!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فِي صَبِيحَةِ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ مَا عِشْتُ مِنْ أَيَّامِي عَهْداً وَ عَقْداً وَ بَيْعَةً لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي لَا أَحُولُ عَنْهَا وَ لَا أَزُولُ أَبَداً
O Allah-azwj! I renew to him-ajfj, in the morning of this day of mine, and what I have lived in the evening of my days, a pact, an agreement, and allegiance to him-ajfj in my neck, that I will not turn around from it nor will I decline (move from) it, ever!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ أَعْوَانِهِ وَ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْهُ وَ الْمُسَارِعِينَ إِلَيْهِ فِي قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِهِ وَ الْمُحَامِينَ عَنْهُ وَ السَّابِقِينَ إِلَى إِرَادَتِهِ وَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! Make me to be from his-ajfj helpers and his-ajfj supporters, and the defenders from him-ajfj, and the hasteners to him-ajfj in fulfilling his-ajfj needs, and the protectors of his-ajfj, and the ones preceding to his-ajfj wants, and the ones martyred in front of him-ajfj.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ حَتْماً فَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ قَبْرِي مُؤْتَزِراً كَفَنِي شَاهِراً سَيْفِي مُجَرِّداً قَنَاتِي مُلَبِّياً دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِي فِي الْحَاضِرِ وَ الْبَادِي
O Allah-azwj! If the death, which You-azwj had Made it to be upon Your-azwj servants, were to be a barrier between me and him-ajfj, then Extract me from my grave clothed in my shroud, unsheathing my sword, revealing my obedience, exclaiming Talbiyya to the call of the caller, in the present and the beginning.
اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي الطَّلْعَةَ الرَّشِيدَةَ وَ الْغُرَّةَ الْحَمِيدَةَ وَ اكْحُلْ نَاظِرِي بِنَظْرَةٍ مِنِّي إِلَيْهِ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ وَ أَوْسِعْ مَنْهَجَهُ وَ اسْلُكْ بِي مَحَجَّتَهُ فَأَنْفِذْ أَمْرَهُ وَ اشْدُدْ أَزْرَهُ وَ اعْمُرِ اللَّهُمَّ بِهِ بِلَادَكَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ ظَهَرَ الْفَسادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ بِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ-
O Allah-azwj! Show me the emergence of righteous guidance, and the praise-worthy beginning, and apply the kohl of looking at him-ajfj with my eyes, and Hasten his-ajfj relief, and Ease his-ajfj emergence, Broaden his-ajfj manifesto, and I ask You-azwj for his-ajfj manifesto for me so I can enforce his-ajfj orders, and tighten its buttons and live long by it, O Allah-azwj, in Your-azwj Country, and revive Your-azwj servants by it, for You-azwj Said, and Your-azwj Words are True: Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea due to what the hands of the people have earned, [30:41].
فَأَظْهِرِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا وَلِيَّكَ وَ ابْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُسَمَّى بِاسْمِ رَسُولِكَ حَتَّى لَا يَظْفَرَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا مَزَّقَهُ وَ يُحِقَّ الْحَقَّ وَ يُحَقِّقَهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ اللَّهُمَّ مَفْزَعاً لِمَظْلُومِ عِبَادِكَ وَ نَاصِراً لِمَنْ لَا يَجِدُ لَهُ نَاصِراً غَيْرَكَ وَ مُجَدِّداً لِمَا عُطِّلَ مِنْ أَحْكَامِ كِتَابِكَ وَ مُشَيِّداً لِمَا وَرَدَ مِنْ أَعْلَامِ دِينِكَ وَ سُنَنِ نَبِيِّكَ ص وَ اجْعَلْهُ مِمَّنْ حَصَّنْتَهُ مِنْ بَأْسِ الْمُعْتَدِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Reveal to us Your-azwj friend, and son-ajfj of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the one name with the name of Your-azwj Rasool-saww until the does not appear anything from the falsehood except he-ajfj tears it apart, and establishes the truth, and makes it a reality, and O Allah-azwj, he-ajfj makes it a shelter for the oppressed ones of Your-azwj servants, and a helper of the one who cannot find a helper for him apart from You-azwj, and a renewal of what have been suspended, from the rulings of Your-azwj Book, and a recommender of what is referred from the information of Your-azwj religion and Sunnah of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Make him-ajfj to be from the one fortified from the process of the aggressors.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ سُرَّ نَبِيَّكَ مُحَمَّداً ص بِرُؤْيَتِهِ وَ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ عَلَى دَعْوَتِهِ وَ ارْحَمِ اسْتِكَانَتَنَا بَعْدَهُ
O Allah-azwj! And cheer Your-azwj Prophet-saww by seeing him-ajfj and the ones following him-ajfj upon his-ajfj call and have Mercy of our submissiveness after him-ajfj.
اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ هَذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ عَنِ الْأُمَّةِ بِحُضُورِهِ وَ عَجِّلْ لَنَا ظُهُورَهُ إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيداً وَ نَراهُ قَرِيباً الْعَجَلَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Remove this gloom from the community by his-ajfj presence and Hasten his-ajfj appearance for us, They are seeing it as being remote [70:6] And We See it as being near [70:7]. The Haster, O my Master-ajfj, O Master-ajfj of the Time, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ تَضْرِبُ عَلَى فَخِذِكَ الْأَيْمَنِ بِيَدِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَقُولُ
Then strike upon you right thigh with your hand three times and say,
الْعَجَلَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ ثَلَاثاً.
‘The haste, O my Master-ajfj, O Master-ajfj of the Time’ – thrice’’.[1]
