CHAPTER 60 – REST OF WHAT IS RECOMMENDED AS FOLLOW-UP (ACTS OF WORSHIP) OF EVERY SALAT
1- مَجَالِسُ الْمُفِيدِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّوْلِيِّ عَنِ الْجَلُودِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحُمَيْدِ عَنْ مُخَوَّلِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ أَبِي الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ مَحْفُوظِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ حَضْرَمَوْتَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَنَفِيَّةِ عَلَيْهِ الرَّحْمَةُ قَالَ: بَيْنَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِذَا رَجُلٌ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِالْأَسْتَارِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ يَا مَنْ لَا يُغَلِّطُهُ السَّائِلُونَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ أَذِقْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ حَلَاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ
(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Al Mufeed – from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Sowly, from Al Jaloudy, from Al Husayn Bin Al Humeyd, from Mukhawwal Bin Ibrahim, from Salih Bin Abu Al Aswad, from Mahfouz Bin Ubeydullah, from Sheykh from the people of Hazramaut, from Muhammad Bin Al Hanafiya, may the Mercy be upon him, said,
‘While Amir Al Momineen-asws was performing Tawaaf of the House (Kaaba) when a man was holding with the curtains (of the Kaaba) and he was saying, ‘O One-azwj Who is not pre-occupied from hearing (one) from hearing (another)! O One-azwj Whom the (number of) beggars do not overwhelm Him-azwj! O One-azwj Whom the persistence of the persistent ones do not Exhaust Him-azwj! Make me taste the coolness of Your-azwj Pardon, and Your-azwj Forgiveness, and sweetness of Your-azwj Mercy!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع هَذَا دُعَاؤُكَ
Amir Al Momineen-asws said to him, ‘This is your supplication?’
قَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ قَدْ سَمِعْتَهُ
The man said to him-asws, ‘And you-asws heard it?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ
He-asws said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ فَادْعُ بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي أَدْبَارِ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَ قَطْرِهَا وَ حَصَا الْأَرْضِ وَ ثَرَاهَا
He said, ‘I supplicate with it and the end of every Salat. By Allah-azwj! No one from the Momineen will supplicate with it in the ends of the Salats, except Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins for him, and even though they may be the number of stars of the sky and its drops, and pebbles of the earth and its soil (grains of sand)’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِنَّ عِلْمَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي وَ اللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ
Amir Al Momineen-asws said to him: ‘The knowledge of that is in my-asws possession, and Allah-azwj is capacious, Benevolent!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ وَ هُوَ الْخَضِرُ ع صَدَقْتَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِي عِلْمٍ عَلِيمٌ.
The man said to him-asws, and he was Al Khizr-as: ‘You-asws speak the truth, by Allah-azwj, O Amir Al Momineen-asws, and above every one with knowledge is a more knowledgeable one [12:76]’’.[1]
2- مَكَارِمُ الْأَخْلَاقِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ مَنْ دَعَا بِهِ عَقِيبَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ حُفِظَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ دَارِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ هُوَ
(The book) ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww: ‘The one who supplicates with it as follow-up of every Prescribed Salat would be Protected regarding himself, and his house, and his wealth, and his children, and it is: –
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَ إِسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي
‘O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me what I have sent forward, and what I have delayed, and I had done openly, and what I have kept secret, and my extravagance upon myself, and what You-azwj are more Knowing with it than me!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِعِلْمِكَ الْغَيْبَ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْراً لِي فَأَحْيِنِي وَ تَوَفَّنِي إِذَا عَلِمْتَ الْوَفَاةَ خَيْراً لِي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Bringer forward, and Your-azwj are the Delayer. There is no god except You-azwj with Your-azwj Knowledge of the unseen, and with Your-azwj Power upon the creatures in their entirety, for as long as You-azwj Know the life is better for me, Cause me to live, and Cause me to die when You-azwj Know the death is better for me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ وَ كَلِمَةَ الْحَقِّ فِي الْغَضَبِ وَ الرِّضَا وَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَ الْغِنَى
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to fear You-azwj in the secret and the open, and the word of truth during the anger and the pleasure, and the moderation during the poverty and riches!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيماً لَا يَنْفَدُ وَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ وَ الرِّضَا بِالْقَضَاءِ وَ بَرْدَ الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ وَ شَوْقاً لِلِقَائِكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ ضَرَّاءَ مُضِرَّةٍ وَ لَا فِتْنَةٍ مُضِلَّةٍ
And I ask You-azwj of bounties not to deplete, and delight of eyes not to terminate, and the satisfaction with the Decree, and coolness of the life after the death, and pleasure of the looking at Your-azwj Face and yearning to meet You-azwj, from without harm to harm, nor Fitna to stray!
اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنَّا بِزِينَةِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا هُدَاةً مُهْتَدِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Adorn us with adornment of the Eman, and make us as guided, Guided!
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنَا فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ
O Allah-azwj! Guide us among the ones You-azwj have Guided!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَظِيمَةَ الرَّشَادِ وَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَ الرُّشْدِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ حُسْنَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ أَدَاءَ حَقِّكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the mighty Guidance, and the stead-fasted-ness in the matter, and the rightful guidance, and I ask You-azwj for thanking for Your-azwj bounties, and goodly well-being, and fulfilling Your-azwj right.
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ قَلْباً سَلِيماً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تَعْلَمُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَ لَا تَعَلَّمُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ.
And I ask You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, for a sound heart, and truthful tongue, and I seek Forgiveness of what You-azwj Know; and I ask You-azwj of goodness of what You-azwj Know, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of what You-azwj Know. You-azwj Know and you are not known, and You-azwj are Knower of the unseen!’’[2]
3- الْمَكَارِمُ، دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع مَنْ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ حُفِظَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ دَارِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ مَالِهِ-
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ – another supplication,
‘Al Sadiq-asws said: ‘One who says these phrases at every Prescribed Salat will be Protected regarding himself, and his house, and his children, and his wealth –
أُجِيرُ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ دَارِي وَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ مِنِّي بِاللَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الصَّمَدِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
‘I shelter myself, and my wealth, and my children, and my family members, and my house, and all what is from me, with Allah-azwj the One, the Last Who, He does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4].
وَ أُجِيرُ نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ كُلَّ مَا هُوَ مِنِّي- بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ إِلَى آخِرِهَا وَ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلَى آخِرِهَا وَ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ إِلَى آخِرِهَا.
And I shelter myself, and my wealth, and my children, and all what is from me, with Lord of Al-Falaq [113:1] – up to its end, and with Lord of the people [114:1] King of the people [114:2] – up to its end, and with Allah-azwj Who, Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal [2:255] – Verse of the Chair up to its end’’.[3]
4- الْمَكَارِمُ، هَذَا دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ مِنْ مَسْمُوعَاتِ السَّيِّدِ نَاصِحِ الدِّينِ أَبِي الْبَرَكَاتِ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ السِّرِّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ أَرْفَعَ صَلَاتَهُ مُضَاعَفَةً فَلْيَقُلْ خَلْفَ كُلِّ مَا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَرْفَعُ يَدَيْهِ يَا مُبْدِئَ الْأَسْرَارِ وَ يَا مُبِينَ الْكِتْمَانِ وَ يَا شَارِعَ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ يَا ذَارِئَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَ يَا خَالِقَ الْأَنَامِ وَ يَا فَارِضَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ مُلْزِمَ الدِّينِ وَ يَا مُوجِبَ التَّعَبُّدِ
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ – This is another supplication from ‘Masmouaat’ of the Seyyid Nasih Al Deen Abu Al Barakaat –
‘And from the secret supplications, O Muhammad, one who wants to raise his Salat manifold, let him say at the end of all what is obligated upon him (from the Salat), and he should raise his hand: ‘O Initiator of the secrets, and O Revealer of the concealments, and O Legislator of the rulings, and O Dispenser of the people, and O Creator of the people, and O Imposer of the obedience, and Necessitator of the religion, and O Obligator of the servitude!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ تَزْكِيَةِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ زَكَّيْتَهَا وَ بِحَقِّ مَنْ زَكَّيْتَهَا لَهُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ صَلَاتِي هَذِهِ زَاكِيَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً بِتَقَبُّلِكَهَا وَ تَصْيِيرِكَ بِهَا دِينِي زَاكِياً وَ إِلْهَامِكَ قَلْبِي حُسْنَ الْمُحَافَظَةِ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِهَا الَّذِينَ ذَكَرْتَهُمْ بِالْخُشُوعِ فِيهَا
I ask You-azwj by the right of purification of every Salat You-azwj Purified it, and by the right of one You-azwj Purified for him! Make this Salat of mine as pure, acceptable by Accepting it, and to Make my religion to be pure by it, and Your-azwj Inspiring my heart with goodly protections upon it until You-azwj Make me to be from its people, those You-azwj Mentioned them with the fearfulness in it.

Lord-azwj! Count to me in this Salat of mine by Your-azwj Raising it as pure, Accepted, surely You-azwj are the all-Hearing, the all-Knowing!’
فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ رُفِعَتْ صَلَاتُهُ مُضَاعَفَةً فِي اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ.
He, when he says that, his Salat is Raised as a multiple in the Guarded Tablet’’.[4]
5- الْمَكَارِمُ، وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ النُّهُوضَ مِنَ التَّعْقِيبِ فَقُلْ سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ

فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَكْتَالَ بِالْمِكْيَالِ الْأَوْفَى فَلْيَكُنْ هَذَا آخِرَ قَوْلِهِ فَإِنَّ لَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ حَسَنَةً.
It has been reported from Amir Al Momineen-asws having said: ‘One who to weight with the full measure, let this be last of his words, for there will be a good deed for him from every Muslim’’.[5]
وَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ- أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ
And from Al Hassan Bin Hammad,
‘From Al Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who says at the end of the obligatory Salat before he folds his legs (to get up), ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, with the Majestic and the Honour, and I repent to You-azwj’, Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins for him and even though these are like foam of the sea’.

And in another Hadeeth: ‘O who says it during every day, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him forty major sins’’.[6]
6- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى الْيَقْطِينِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ فَاطِمَةَ ع بَدَأَ وَ كَبَّرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَرْبَعاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ تَكْبِيرَةً وَ سَبَّحَهُ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ تَسْبِيحَةً وَ وَصَلَ التَّسْبِيحَ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ وَ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثَلَاثاً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ وَصَلَ التَّحْمِيدَ بِالتَّسْبِيحِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – by his chain to Al Tal’akbury, from Haroun Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Attar, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Isa Al Yaqteeny, from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Wahb Bin Abd Rabbih who said,
‘One who glorifies the Glorification Al Zahra Fatima-asws, should begin and exclaim Greatness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic thirty-four Takbeers, and Glorify thirty-three Glorifications, and connect the Glorification with the Takbeer and Praise of Allah-azwj thirty-three times, and connect the Praise with the Glorification’.
وَ قَالَ بَعْدَ مَا يَفْرُغُ مِنَ التَّحْمِيدِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً لَبَّيْكَ رَبَّنَا لَبَّيْكَ وَ سَعْدَيْكَ-
And he-asws said after being free from the Praise: ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj! Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawaat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawaat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]. At Your-azwj service our Lord-azwj and Your-azwj assistance!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and upon People-asws of the Household of Muhammad-saww, and upon offspring of Muhammad-saww; and the greeting be upon him-asws and upon them-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ التَّسْلِيمَ مِنَّا لَهُمْ وَ الِايتِمَامَ بِهِمْ وَ التَّصْدِيقَ لَهُمْ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا وَ صَدَّقْنَا وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
And I testify that the greeting from us for them-asws, and being led by them-asws, and the ratification of them-asws! Our Lord-azwj! We believe and we ratify, and we follow the Messengers-as, so Write us being with the martyrs!
اللَّهُمَّ صُبَّ الرِّزْقَ عَلَيْنَا صَبّاً صَبّاً بَلَاغاً لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ وَ لَا نَكَدٍ وَ لَا مِنْ مَنِّ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ إِلَّا سَعَةً مِنْ رِزْقِكَ وَ طَيِّباً مِنْ وُسْعِكَ مِنْ يَدِكَ الْمَلْأَى عَفَافاً لَا مِنْ أَيْدِي لِئَامِ خَلْقِكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Pour the sustenance upon us, Pouring, Pouring, extensive for the Hereafter and the world from without any toil and hardship, nor any conferment from anyone from You-azwj creatures, except capaciousness from Your-azwj sustenance, and goodness from Your-azwj Capaciousness from Your-azwj Hands Filled with chastity, nor from the blameful hands of Your-azwj creatures. Surely You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ السَّعَةَ فِي رِزْقِي وَ ذِكْرَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى لِسَانِي وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي
O Allah-azwj! Make the Noor to be in my sight, and the insight in my religion, and the certainty in my heart, and the sincerity in my actions, and the vastness in my sustenance, and Your-azwj Zikr by the night and the day upon my tongue, and the thanking to You-azwj for ever for as long as You-azwj Make me live.
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجِدُنِي حَيْثُ نَهَيْتَنِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me be found where You-azwj Prohibited, and Bless for me in what You-azwj have Given me, and Mercy me when You-azwj Cause me to die, surely You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ كُلَّهَا وَ عَافَاهُ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ وَ سَاعَتِهِ وَ شَهْرِهِ وَ سَنَتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يَحُولَ الْحَوْلُ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْفَاقَةِ وَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْبَرَصِ وَ مِنْ مِيتَةِ السَّوْءِ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ تَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ شَهَادَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ بِثَوَابِهَا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ ثَوَابُهَا الْجَنَّةُ الْبَتَّةَ
Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins for him, all of them, and Excuse him from his day, and his hour, and his month, and his year up to the year passes by, from the poverty, and the destitution, and insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo, and from the evil death, and from every affliction befalling from the sky to the earth, and will Write for him, due to that, the sincere testimony with its Rewards up to the Day of Qiyamah, and it’s Reward is the Paradise anyway’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ هَذَا لَهُ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ إِلَى الْحَوْلِ
I said to him-asws, ‘This is for him when he says that during every day from the year to the year?’
فَقَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ هَذَا لِمَنْ قَالَ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ إِلَى الْحَوْلِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً يُكْتَبُ لَهُ وَ أَجْزَأَ لَهُ إِلَى مِثْلِ يَوْمِهِ وَ سَاعَتِهِ وَ شَهْرِهِ وَ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ الْجَائِي الْحَائِلِ عَلَيْهِ.
He-asws said: ‘No, but this is for the one who says one time from the year to the year, it will be Written for him, and it would be sufficient for him up to the likes of his day, and his hour, and his month, and from the coming year passing upon him’’.[7]
7- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ مَنْ يُرِيدُ طُولَ الْبَقَاءِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِهِ بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْعِجْلِيِّ الْكِسَائِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ عَنْ جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ قَالَ: دَخَلَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ لَهُ يَا سَيِّدِي عَلَتْ سِنِّي وَ مَاتَ أَقَارِبِي وَ أَنَا خَائِفٌ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي الْمَوْتُ وَ لَيْسَ لِي مَنْ آنَسُ بِهِ وَ أَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’, and from the important supplication, one who wants lengthy remaining (life) there should be from his follow-up (acts of worship) after every Salat what is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Abu Al Husayn Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Ijaly Al Kisaie, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Hakeem, from Jameel Bin Darraj who said,
‘A man entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He said to him-asws, ‘O my chief! My years are a lot and my kindred have dies, and I am fearful that the death will come across me and there wouldn’t be anyone for me to be comforted with, and be hopeful to him’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ مِنْ إِخْوَانِكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ نَسَباً أَوْ سَبَباً وَ أُنْسُكَ بِهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أُنْسِكَ بِقَرِيبٍ وَ مَعَ هَذَا فَعَلَيْكَ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ أَنْ تَقُولَ عَقِيبَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ
He-asws said to him: ‘Surely from your Momineen brothers there is one who is closer of lineage, or cause, and you can be more comforted with him that your being comforted with a kindred, and along with this, upon you is with the supplicating, and you should be saying in the follow-up of every Salat: –
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الصَّادِقَ ع قَالَ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ مَا تَرَدَّدْتُ فِي شَيْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدُّدِي فِي قَبْضِ رُوحِ عَبْدِيَ الْمُؤْمِنِ يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ
‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww. Al Sadiq-asws said You-azwj Said: “I-azwj do not Hesitate regarding anything I-azwj Do like My-azwj Hesitation in capturing the soul of My-azwj servant Momin soul. He disliked the death and I– azwj his evil deeds!”
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لِوَلِيِّكَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ النَّصْرَ وَ لَا تَسُؤْنِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ لَا فِي أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَحِبَّتِي
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Hasten the relief for Your-azwj Guardian-ajfj, and the well-being, and the victory, and do not Let me be worse within myself nor in anyone from my loved ones!’
إِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تُسَمِّيَهُمْ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً فَافْعَلْ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ مُتَفَرِّقِينَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ مُجْتَمِعِينَ
If you like, you can name them one by one, then do so, and if you like separately, and if you like altogether’.
قَالَ الرَّجُلُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ عِشْتُ حَتَّى سَئِمْتُ الْحَيَاةَ
The man said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have lived until I was tired of life’.
قَالَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ إِنَّ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ شَمُّونٍ الْبَصْرِيَّ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَعَاشَ مِائَةً وَ ثَمَانَ وَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً فِي خَفْضٍ إِلَى أَنْ مَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ فَتَرَكَهُ فَمَاتَ ره.
Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, said, ‘Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Shamoun Al Basry used to supplicate with this supplication, so he lived for one hundred and eighty years in reassurance until he was fed up of life, so he left it and died’’.[8]
الْمَكَارِمُ، وَ دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، وَ مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ جُنَّةُ الْأَمَانِ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ وَ وَاظَبَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ عَاشَ حَتَّى يَمَلَّ الْحَيَاةَ.
(The books) ‘Al Makarim’, and ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy, and ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘One who supplicates with this supplication as a follow-up of every obligatory (Salat) perseveres upon that will live until he is fed up of the life’’.[9]
8- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ الدُّعَاءُ الَّذِي عَلَّمَهُ النَّبِيُّ ص لِعَلِيٍّ ع لِيَحْفَظَ كُلَّ مَا يَسْمَعُ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَحْفَظْ كُلَّ مَا تَسْمَعُ وَ تَقْرَأُ فَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَ هُوَ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
And from the important supplications which the Prophet-saww taught to Ali-asws to memorise all what he-asws hears, it is reported from the Prophet-saww that he-saww said to Amir Al Momineen-asws: ‘When you-asws want to memorise all what you-asws hear and read, then supplicate with this supplication in the end of every Salat, and it is: –
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَعْتَدِي عَلَى أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَأْخُذُ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ بِأَلْوَانِ الْعَذَابِ سُبْحَانَ الرَّءُوفِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي قَلْبِي نُوراً وَ بَصَراً وَ فَهْماً وَ عِلْماً إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
‘Glorious is the One-azwj Who does not Transgress upon people of His-azwj Kingdom! Glorious is the One-azwj Who does not Seize people of the earth with variety of Punishments! Glorious is the Kind, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Make Noor to be in my heart and sight, and understanding, and knowledge, You-azwj are Able up all things!’’[10]
وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ لِمَنْ يُرِيدُ قَضَاءَ الْحَاجَاتِ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى ره عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْكِسَائِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ أَخِيهِ إِدْرِيسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
And from the important (supplications) of the one what was fulfilment of the needs, he should has when he is free from the Salat what is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kisaie, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from his father, from Sa’alba Bin Mamoun, from Abdul Malik Bin Abdullah Al Qummi, from his brother Idrees Bin Abdullah who said,
قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَقُلْ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ رَسُولِكَ ص وَ وَلَايَةِ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِمْ إِلَى آخِرِهِمْ وَ تُسَمِّيهِمْ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When you are free from the Salat, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I make it to be Your-azwj religion with obeying You-azwj, and Your-azwj Wilayah and Wilayah of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Wilayah of the Imams-asws, from first of them-asws to their-asws last’ – and name them-asws one by one.
وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا فَضَّلْتَهُمْ بِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَكَبِّرٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَكْبِرٍ عَلَى مَعْنَى مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ- عَلَى حُدُودِ مَا أَتَانَا فِيهِ وَ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِنَا مُؤْمِنٌ مُعْتَرِفٌ مُسَلِّمٌ بِذَلِكَ رَاضٍ بِمَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ
And you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I make it to be Your-azwj religion with obeying them-asws, and their-asws Wilayah, and the satisfaction with what You-azwj have Merited them-asws with, without arrogance nor haughty upon the meaning of what You-azwj have Revealed in Your-azwj Book based upon limits of what have come to us regarding it, and what has not come to us, a Momin acknowledging submitting with that, satisfied with whatever You-azwj are Satisfied with.
يَا رَبِّ أُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ مَرْهُوباً وَ مَرْغُوباً إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ فَأَحْيِنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَمِتْنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ ابْعَثْنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنِّي تَقْصِيرٌ فِيمَا مَضَى فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ
O Lord-azwj! I intend Your Face with it and house of the Hereafter, dreading and desiring to You-azwj regarding it. Cause me to live upon that and Cause me to die upon that and Resurrect me upon that, and even though there is deficiency in what has passed, for I hereby repent to You-azwj from it, and am desirous to You-azwj regarding what is with You-azwj!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي بِوَلَايَتِكَ عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ- إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And I ask You-azwj to Protect me with Your-azwj Guardianship from disobeying You-azwj and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, neither less than that nor more, The self is an enjoiner with the evil [12:53], except what You-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones.
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ حَتَّى تَتَوَفَّانِي عَلَيْهَا وَ أَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ وَ أَنْ تَخْتِمَ لِي بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ لَا تُحَوِّلْنِي عَنْهَا أَبَداً وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ
And I ask You-azwj to Protect me with obeying You-azwj until You-azwj Cause me to die upon it while You-azwj are Satisfied with me, and to End for me with being fortunate and not to Transfer me away from it, ever, and there is not strength except with You-azwj.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِحُرْمَةِ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحُرْمَةِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ بِحُرْمَةِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِكَ ع وَ تُسَمِّيهِمْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ تَذْكُرُ حَوَائِجَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj with Sanctity of Your-azwj Benevolent Face, and with Sanctity of Your-azwj Magnificent Name, and with sanctity of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-as and his-saww Family-asws, and with sanctity of People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Rasool-saww’ – and name them-asws – ‘Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to do ‘such and such’ with me’ – and mention your needs, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[11]
9- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ فِي تَعْقِيبِ الصَّلَاةِ لِزِيَادَةِ السَّعَادَاتِ الِاقْتِدَاءُ بِالصَّادِقِ ع فِيمَا نَذْكُرُهُ مِنَ الدَّعَوَاتِ كَمَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي يَوْماً وَ هُوَ يَصَّدَّقُ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ بِثَمَانِيَةِ آلَافِ دِينَارٍ وَ أَعْتَقَ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ بَلَغُوا أَحَدَ عَشَرَ مَمْلُوكاً
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
And from the important (supplications) in follow-up of the Salat for increase in being fortunate in believing in Al Sadiq-asws in what we are mentioning from the supplication like what is reported from Abu Abdullah-saww having said: ‘I-asws entered to see my-asws father-asws one day, and he-asws was donating to the poor people of Al Medina with eight thousand Dinars, and people of a household reached eleven slaves.
فَكَانَ ذَلِكَ أَعْجَبَنِي فَنَظَرَ إِلَيَّ ثُمَّ قَالَ هَلْ لَكَ فِي أَمْرٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتَهُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً خَلْفَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا رَأَيْتَنِي صَنَعْتُ وَ لَوْ صَنَعْتُهُ كُلَّ عُمُرِ نُوحٍ
That surprised me-asws. He-asws looked at me-asws, then said: ‘Is it okay for you-asws regarding a matter, when you-asws were to do it once after every Prescribed Salat, it would be superior from what you-asws have seen me-asws doing, and even if you-asws were to do it the whole lifetime of Noah-as’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا هُوَ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws said: ‘What is it?’
قَالَ تَقُولُ خَلْفَ الصَّلَاةِ- أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
He-asws said: ‘You-asws should be saying after the Salat: ‘I-asws testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to life and die, and He-azwj Causes to die and life. The goodness is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ
Glory be to the One-azwj with the Kingdom and the Domain! Glory be to the One-azwj with the Might and the Glory! Glorious is the One-azwj with the Greatness and the Magnificence! Glorious is the Living Who will not be dying! Glorious is my Lord-azwj the Exalted! Glorious is my Lord-azwj the Magnificent! Glorious is Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise.
كُلُّ هَذَا قَلِيلٌ يَا رَبِّ وَ عَدَدَ خَلْقِكَ وَ مِلْءَ عَرْشِكَ وَ رِضَا نَفْسِكَ وَ مَبْلَغَ مَشِيَّتِكَ وَ عَدَدَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ وَ مِلْءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ وَ زِنَةَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ وَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ أَضْعَافاً لَا تُحْصَى
All this is little, O Lord-azwj, while the number of Your-azwj creatures, and Fullness of Your-azwj Throne, and Satisfaction of Yourself-azwj, and Extent of Your-azwj Desire, and the number of what Your-azwj Book has enumeration, and Fullness of what Your-azwj Book has counted and weight of what Your-azwj Book has enumerated, and similar to that a multiple cannot be counted.

And from the praise, and the exaltation, and the sanctification, and the commendation, and the thanks, and the good, and the eulogy, and the Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww family-asws, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-saww and upon them-asws similar to that, and multiple of that.

And a number of what You-azwj Created, and Produced, and Formed, and number of anything what You-azwj are its Creator, and fullness of all of that, and a multiple of all of that a multiple, if You-azwj had Created them, they speak with that since then up to for ever, there being not termination for it are saying that, and they are neither slackening nor taking a break, are quicker than a glance of the sight, and like what is befitting for You-azwj, and like what You-asws are rightful of it.
وَ أَضْعَافَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ وَ زِنَةَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ وَ عَدَدَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ وَ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ كُلُّ هَذَا قَلِيلٌ
And a multiple of what You-azwj Mentioned, and weight of what Your-azwj Mentioned, and number of what You-azwj Mentioned, and similar to entirety of what, all of this is little.

I-asws ask You-azwj upon the tracks of this supplication, by Your-azwj excellent Names, and Your-azwj Lofty examples, and Your-azwj Complete Words to Grant me-asws well-being in the world and the Hereafter!’
قَالَ أَبُو يَحْيَى سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ الدُّعَاءُ هَذَا مُسْتَجَابٌ.
Abu Yahya said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘This supplication is Answered’’.[12]
10- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ الِامْتِثَالُ لِقَوْلِ مَوْلَانَا الصَّادِقِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ كَمَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو الْفَرَجِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقَزْوِينِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَلَى يَدَيْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَدَّادِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْفَزَارِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَشْتَرِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Salaail’ – And from the important observances of the words of our Master-asws Al Sadiq Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both, in the supplication as a follow-up (act of worship) of every obligatory (Salat), like what is reported by Abu Al Faraj Muhammad Bin Musa Bin Ali Al Qazwiny, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar in his book upon the hands of Abu Muhammad Al Haddad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik Al Fazary, from Ahmad Bin Malik Bin Al Haris Al Ashtar, from Muhammad Bin Usman, from Abu Baseer,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَدْعُو فِي أَعْقَابِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْفَرَائِضِ بِهَذِهِ الْأَدْعِيَةِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بَرَاءَةً مِنَ النَّارِ
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘You should supplicate in the follow-up (acts of worship) of the obligatory Salawaat with this supplication: – O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, for freedom from the Fire.
فَاكْتُبْ لَنَا بَرَاءَتَنَا وَ فِي جَهَنَّمَ فَلَا تَجْعَلْنَا وَ فِي عَذَابِكَ وَ هَوَانِكَ فَلَا تَبْتَلِنَا وَ مِنَ الضَّرِيعِ وَ الزَّقُّومِ فَلَا تُطْعِمْنَا وَ مَعَ الشَّيَاطِينِ فِي النَّارِ فَلَا تَجْمَعْنَا وَ عَلَى وُجُوهِنَا فِي النَّارِ فَلَا تَكْبُبْنَا وَ مِنْ ثِيَابِ النَّارِ وَ سَرَابِيلِ الْقَطِرَانِ فَلَا تُلْبِسْنَا وَ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
Therefore write for us our freedom, and do not Make us to be in Hell in Your-azwj Punishment and do not Try us in Your-azwj Abasement, and do not Feed us from the thorny bushes and Al Zaqoum (bitter fruit of Hell), and do not Gather us with the Satans-la in the Fire, and not Fling us into the Fire upon our faces, and do not Clothe us in clothes of fire and trousers of tar, and from every evil.
يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَنَجِّنَا وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي الصَّالِحِينَ فَأَدْخِلْنَا وَ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ فَارْفَعْنَا وَ بِكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِينٍ وَ سَلْسَبِيلٍ فَاسْقِنَا وَ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَزَوِّجْنَا وَ مِنَ الْوِلْدَانِ الْمُخَلَّدِينَ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَكْنُونٌ مَنْثُورٌ فَأَخْدِمْنَا
O there is no god except You-azwj! Rescue us on the Day of Qiyamah, and Include us among the righteous ones by Your-azwj Mercy, and Raise us in the Illiyeen, and Quench us from clear spring and Salsabeel, and get us married to the Maiden Houries by Your-azwj Mercy, and Cause us to be served by the eternal youths as if they were scattered pearls.
وَ مِنْ ثِمَارِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ لُحُومِ الطَّيْرِ فَأَطْعِمْنَا وَ مِنْ ثِيَابِ الْحَرِيرِ وَ السُّنْدُسِ وَ الْإِسْتَبْرَقِ فَاكْسُنَا وَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فَارْزُقْنَا وَ سَدِّدْنَا وَ قَرِّبْنَا إِلَيْكَ زُلْفَى وَ صَالِحَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فَاسْتَجِبْ لَنَا
And Feed us from the fruits of Paradise and meat of the birds, and Clothe us from the clothes of silk, and the velvet, and the brocade, and Grace us Laylat Al Qadr (Night of Pre-determination), and Hajj of the Sacred House, and Guide us and Draw us closer to You-azwj in position, and Answer for us the righteous supplication and the request.
يَا خَالِقَنَا اسْمَعْ لَنَا وَ اسْتَجِبْ وَ إِذَا جَمَعْتَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَارْحَمْنَا يَا رَبِّ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ.
O our Creator! Listen to us and Respond, and when the former ones and the latter ones are gathered on the Day of Qiyamah, Mercy us O Lord-azwj, Mighty is Your-azwj vicinity and Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and there is no god apart from You-azwj’’.[13]
11- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَوَاتِ لِتَلَافِي مَا يَكُونُ حَصَلَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْغَفَلَاتِ وَ الْجِنَايَاتِ مِنْ كِتَابِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَانِبَةَ وَ قَدْ ذَكَرَ جَدِّيَ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ الْفِهْرِسْتِ أَنَّهُ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا الثِّقَاتِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And from the important (supplications) after his being free from the Salawaat to review what might have happen resulting in it the neglect and the felonies, from the book of Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Khanibat, and it has been mentioned by my grandfather Al Saeed Abu Ja’far al Tusi in the book ‘Al Fihrist’, he is from our trusted companions.
وَ رَوَى لَنَا الْعَمَلَ بِمَا تَضَمَّنَهُ كِتَابُهُ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ حَدَّثَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ وَ كَانَ قَائِداً مِنَ الْقُوَّادِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ قَالَ عَرَضَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَانِبَةَ كِتَابَهُ عَلَى مَوْلَانَا- أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَاحِبِ الْعَسْكَرِ الْآخِرِ فَقَرَأَهُ وَ قَالَ صَحِيحٌ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ.
And it is reported to us the action with what is included in his book in the supplication, narrated by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him, from Abu Ali Al Ashari, and he was a leader from the leaders, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah Al Ashari who said, ‘Ahmad Bin Abdullah Bin Khanabat presented his book to our Master-asws, Abu Muhammad Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Muhammad-asws, Master of Al Asker the last. He-asws read it and said: ‘Correct, therefore work with it’’.[14]
فَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ خَانِبَةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ الْمُشَارِ إِلَيْهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَ الْمُنَاجَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صَلَّيْتُ وَ إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ وَ فِي صَلَاتِي وَ دُعَائِي مَا قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مِنَ النُّقْصَانِ وَ الْعَجَلَةِ وَ السَّهْوِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْفَتْرَةِ وَ النِّسْيَانِ وَ الْمُدَافَعَةِ وَ الرِّيَاءِ وَ السُّمْعَةِ وَ الرَّيْبِ وَ الْفِكْرَةِ وَ الشَّكِّ وَ الْمَشْغَلَةِ وَ اللَّحْظَةِ الْمُلْهِيَةِ عَنْ إِقَامَةِ فَرَائِضِكَ
Ahmad Bin Khanabat said in his book, indicating to it regarding the supplication and the whispering after being free from the Salat he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I prayed Salat to You-azwj and have supplicated to You-azwj, and in my Salat and my supplication what You-azwj have Known from the deficiencies, and the hastiness, and the omissions, and the neglect, and the laziness, and the gap periods, and the forgetfulness, and the impulsiveness, and the showing off, and reputation, and the suspicion, and the thoughts, and the doubt, and the pre-occupation, and the momentary distractions from establishing Your-azwj obligations.
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ مَكَانَ نُقْصَانِهَا تَمَاماً وَ عَجَلَتِي تَثَبُّتاً وَ تَمَكُّناً وَ سَهْوِي تَيَقُّظاً وَ غَفْلَتِي تَذَكُّراً وَ كَسَلِي نَشَاطاً وَ فُتُورِي قُوَّةً وَ نِسْيَانِي مُحَافَظَةً وَ مُدَافَعَتِي مُوَاظَبَةً وَ رِئَائِي إِخْلَاصاً وَ سُمْعَتِي تَسَتُّراً وَ رَيْبِي بَيَاناً وَ فِكْرِي خُشُوعاً وَ شَكِّي يَقِيناً وَ تَشَاغُلِي فَرَاغاً وَ لِحَاظِي خُشُوعاً
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Family-asws, and Make completeness in place of its deficiencies, and my haste as an affirmation and enablement, and my omissions as wakefulness, and my neglect as reminder, and my laziness as activity, and my gap period as strength, and my forgetfulness as memorisation, and my impulsiveness as attention, and my showing off as sincerity, and my reputation as concealment, and my suspicion as clarity, and my thoughts as fearfulness, and my doubt as certainty, and my pre-occupation as free time, and my distraction as humility.
فَإِنِّي لَكَ صَلَّيْتُ وَ إِيَّاكَ دَعَوْتُ وَ وَجْهَكَ أَرَدْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ بِكَ آمَنْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ مَا عِنْدَكَ طَلَبْتُ
I have prayed Salat to You-azwj, and have supplicated to You-azwj, and intended Your-azwj Face, and concentrated to You-azwj, and believed in You-azwj, and relied upon You-azwj, and have sought what is with You-azwj.
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي صَلَاتِي وَ دُعَائِي رَحْمَةً وَ بَرَكَةً تُكَفِّرْ بِهَا سَيِّئَاتِي وَ تُضَاعِفْ بِهَا حَسَنَاتِي وَ تَرْفَعْ بِهَا دَرَجَتِي وَ تُكْرِمْ بِهَا مَقَامِي وَ تُبَيِّضْ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ تَحُطَّ بِهَا وِزْرِي وَ تَقْبَلْ بِهَا فَرْضِي وَ نَفْلِي-
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make Mercy and Blessings for me in my Salat and my supplication, to Atone my evil deeds by it, and Multiply my goodness by it, and Raise my ran with it, and Honour my position by it, and Brighten my face with it, and Removed by burden by it, and Accept my obligatory and my options (Salats) by it.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ احْطُطْ بِهَا وِزْرِي وَ اجْعَلْ مَا عِنْدَكَ خَيْراً لِي مِمَّا يَنْقَطِعُ عَنِّي
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Remove my burden with it, and Make what is with You-azwj as good for me from what is terminated from me.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَضَى عَنِّي صَلَاتِي إِنَّ الصَّلاةَ كانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتاباً مَوْقُوتاً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Fulfilled my Salat on my behalf. Surely the Salat was always a timed Ordinance for the Momineen [4:103], O most Merciful of the merciful ones. ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us. [7:43].
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَ وَجْهِي عَنِ السُّجُودِ إِلَّا لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا أَكْرَمْتَ وَجْهِي عَنِ السُّجُودِ إِلَّا لَكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ صُنْهُ عَنِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ إِلَّا مِنْكَ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who has Honoured my face from doing Sajdah except to Him-azwj! O Allah-azwj!

مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ غَيْرُهُ مُرْسَلًا مِثْلَهُ وَ جَعَلَهُ الْأَكْثَرُ مِمَّا يُخْتَمُ بِهِ التَّعْقِيبُ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ رَوَاهُ الْكَفْعَمِيُ فِيهَا وَ فِيهِ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ أَنْ لَا يَحُولَ بَيْنَ دُعَائِهِ وَ بَيْنِي حَائِلٌ وَ أَنْ أُجِيبَهُ لِأَيِّ أَمْرٍ شَاءَ عَظِيماً كَانَ أَوْ صَغِيراً فِي السِّرِّ وَ الْعَلَانِيَةِ إِلَيَّ أَوْ إِلَى غَيْرِي فَلْيَقُلْ آخِرَ دُعَائِهِ يَا اللَّهُ الْمَانِعُ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Misbah’ of the sheykh, and others with unbroken chains – similar to it, make it frequently from what the follow-up (acts of worship) are ended with, and it is from the secretive supplication. It is reported by Al Kaf’amy regarding it, and in it is: –
‘O Muhammad-saww! And the one from your-saww community who wants that there be no barrier between his supplication and Me-azwj, and that I-azwj should Answer him to whichever matter he so desires, whether it be large or small, in the secret and the open, or to others, let him say and the end of his supplication, ‘O Allah-azwj the Defender’ – up to end of the supplication’’.[16]
12- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا اللَّهُ الْمَانِعُ قُدْرَتُهُ خَلْقَهُ وَ الْمَالِكُ بِهَا سُلْطَانَهُ وَ الْمُتَسَلِّطُ بِمَا فِي يَدَيْهِ كُلُّ مَرْجُوٍّ دُونَكَ يُخَيِّبُ رَجَاءَ رَاجِيهِ وَ رَاجِيكَ مَسْرُورٌ لَا يَخِيبُ
(The books) ‘Falah Al Saail’, and ‘Misbah’ of the sheykh, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj Whose Power defends His-azwj creation, and the Owner having Authority with it, and the Prevailer with what is in His-azwj Hand! Every one hoping for other than You-azwj is disappointed of the hope he hopes for, and one hoping to You-azwj is happy, not disappointed.
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ رِضاً لَكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتِ فِيهِ وَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُذْكَرَ بِهِ وَ بِكَ يَا اللَّهُ فَلَيْسَ يَعْدِلُكَ شَيْءٌ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَحُوطَنِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ تَحْفَظَنِي بِحِفْظِكَ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ حَاجَتِي فِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ تَذْكُرُ مَا تُرِيدُ.
I ask You-azwj for all Satisfaction of Yours-azwj from all things You-azwj are in, and with all things You-azwj Love to be Mentioned with, and with You-azwj O Allah-azwj, so nothing equates to You-azwj. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Surround me, and my brethren, and my children, and Protect me with Your-azwj Protection, and Fulfil my needs regarding such and such’ – and mention what you want’’.[17]

It has been reported from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘When he says that, his needs will be fulfilled from before he moves’’.[18]

‘This supplication is Answered if it happens at the end of what is supplicated with after the Salawaat: ‘O Allah-azwj! I face with my face to You-azwj and turn with my supplication to You-azwj, hopeful of Your-azwj Response, and coveting regarding Your-azwj Forgiveness, seeking what You-azwj have Promised with upon Yourself-azwj to Fulfil Your-azwj Promise, when You-azwj had Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Turn to me with Your-azwj Face, and Forgive (my sins) for me, and Mercy me, and Answer my supplication, O God-azwj of the worlds’’.[19]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘When the Momin stands in the Salat, Allah-azwj Dispatches the Maiden Houries until they stare at him. When he finishes and does not ask Allah-azwj for them, they disperse while they are surprised’’.[20]

16- أَعْلَامُ الدِّينِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ فَسُبْحانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ يَعْنِي صَلَاتَيِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ- وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ صَلَاةَ الْغَدَاةِ وَ عَشِيًّا صَلَاةَ الْعَصْرِ- وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ تَجْمَعُ صَلَوَاتِكُمُ الْخَمْسَ
(The book) ‘A’laam Al Deen’ – Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says: Therefore, Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening – meaning by my-saww Salat of Al Maghrib and Al Isha – and when you come up to the morning [30:17] – the morning Salat, and at sunset, – Salat al Asr – and when you come up to midday [30:18] – Salat Al Zohr. This Verse gathers your five Salats.
فَمَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الثَّلَاثَ الْآيَاتِ مِنْ سُورَةِ الرُّومِ وَ آخِرَ الصَّافَّاتِ سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ دُبُرَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَدْرَكَ مَا فَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ ذَلِكَ وَ قُبِلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ
The one who recites these three Verses from Surah Al Roum, and the end of (Surah) Al Saffaat: Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] – three times at the end of Al Maghrib Salat, will realise (come across) what had been lost during that day of his, and his Salat will be Accepted.
فَإِنْ قَرَأَهَا دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ يُصَلِّيهَا مِنْ فَرِيضَةٍ أَوْ تَطَوُّعٍ كُتِبَ لَهُ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَ قَطْرِ الْمَطَرِ وَ عَدَدَ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ وَ عَدَدَ تُرَابِ الْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا مَاتَ أَجْرَى لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ فِي قَبْرِهِ.
If he recites it at the end of every Salat he prays, whether from obligatory or optional, for him would be good deed of the number or stars of the sky and the drops of rain, and number of leaves of the tree and number of (grains of) sand of the earth. When he dies, there will flow ten good deeds for him for every (one) good deed, in his grave’’.[22]
بيان: الثلاث الآيات من الروم هي هذه فَسُبْحانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَشِيًّا وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ يُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ يُحْيِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها وَ كَذلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ و يحتمل أن يكون إلى تُظْهِرُونَ عندهم ثلاث آيات.
Explanation – The ‘three Verses’ from (Surah) Al Roum are these: – Therefore Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17] And for Him is the Praise in the skies and the earth, and at sunset and when you come up to midday [30:18] He Extracts the living from the dead and Extracts the dead from the living, and Revives the earth after its death, and like that you would be coming out [30:19]; and it is possible that it could be up to: up to midday [30:18] as being three Verses with them.

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Isa Al Yaqteeny, from Al Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al Hassan, from Abu Baseer and Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al Momineen-asws said: ‘The servant should not finish from his Salat until he asks Allah-azwj for the Paradise, and seeks shelter with Him-azwj from the Fire, and asks Him-azwj to Get him married to the Maiden Hourie’’.[23]
وَ قَالَ ع أُعْطِيَ السَّمْعَ أَرْبَعَةٌ- النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الْجَنَّةُ وَ النَّارُ وَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فَلْيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ يَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُزَوِّجَهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ
And he-asws said: ‘The Listening is Given to four – the Prophet-saww, and the Paradise, and the Fire, and the Maiden Hourie. When the servant is free from his Salat, let him send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Family-asws, and he should ask Allah-azwj for the Paradise, and he should seek shelter with Allah-azwj from the Fire, and he should ask Him-azwj to get him married to the Maiden Houries.
فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص رُفِعَتْ دَعْوَتُهُ وَ مَنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ أَعْطِ عَبْدَكَ مَا سَأَلَ
The one who sends Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww, his supplication would be Raised, and one who asks Allah-azwj for the Paradise, the Paradise says: ‘O Lord-azwj! Give Your-azwj servant what he is asking for!’
وَ مَنِ اسْتَجَارَ مِنَ النَّارِ قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ أَجِرْ عَبْدَكَ مِمَّا اسْتَجَارَكَ وَ مَنْ سَأَلَ الْحُورَ الْعِينَ قُلْنَ الْحُورُ يَا رَبِّ أَعْطِ عَبْدَكَ مَا سَأَلَ.
And the one who seeks shelter from the Fire, the Fire says, ‘O Lord-azwj! Shelter Your-azwj servant from what he is seeking shelter from!’ And the one who asks for the Maiden Hourie, the Hourie says: ‘O Lord-azwj! Give Your-azwj servant what he is asking for!’’[24]

(The books) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’, and ‘Majaalis’ of Al Sadouq – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Wahb, from Umar Bin Naheyk, from Sallam Al Makky,
‘From Abu Ja’far Al Baqir-asws having said: ‘A man called Shayba Al Huzaly came to the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I am an old man, my age is a lot, and my strength has weakened from working I was used to myself, from Salat, and fasting, and Hajj, and Jihad. O Rasool-Allah-saww! Teach me a speech Allah-azwj will Benefit me by it and lighten upon me, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
فَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا فَأَعَادَهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
He-saww said: ‘Repeat it’. He repeated it three times.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا حَوْلَكَ شَجَرَةٌ وَ لَا مَدَرَةٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ بَكَتْ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ فَقُلْ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يُعَافِيكَ بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْهَرَمِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is neither any tree nor mud around you except and it has wept from mercy (pitying) you! When you have prayed the morning Salat, then say ten times, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj the Magnificence and with His-azwj Praise, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, for Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Cure you by that from the blindness, and the insanity, and the leprosy, and the poverty, and the ageing (issues)’.
فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا لِلدُّنْيَا فَمَا لِلْآخِرَةِ
O Rasool-Allah-saww! This is for the world, so what is for the Hereafter?’
فَقَالَ تَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ
He-saww said: ‘You should say in the end of every Salat, ‘O Allah-azwj! Guide me from You-azwj, and Pour upon me from Your-azwj Grace, and Sprinkle upon me from Your-azwj Mercy, and Send down upon me from Your-azwj Blessings!’
قَالَ فَقَبَضَ عَلَيْهِنَّ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ مَضَى فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ مَا أَشَدَّ مَا قَبَضَ عَلَيْهَا خَالُكَ
He-asws said: ‘He grabbed upon these with his hands (counted with his fingers and formed a grip), then went away. A man said to Ibn Abbas, ‘How severe is what your maternal uncle has grabbed upon!’
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص أَمَا إِنَّهُ إِنْ وَافَى بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يَدَعْهَا مُتَعَمِّداً فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُهَا مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘But, if he were to be loyal with it on the Day of Qiyamah, not leaving it deliberately, (all) eight doors of the Paradise will be opened for him. He can enter it from whichever he so desires to’’.[25]
19- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نَاتَانَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَرِيضَةٍ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ ثُمَّ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ أُعْطِيَ مَا سَأَلَ.
(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Al Husayn Bin Ibrahim Natanah, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Yahya Al Halby, from Al Haris Bin Al Mugheira,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest’, forty times in the end of every obligatory Salat before he folds his legs (to get up), then asks Allah-azwj, will be Given what he asks for’’.[26]

And from him, by this chain, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Salim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who prays a Prescribed (obligatory) Salat, then in the end of it glorifies (Allah-azwj) thirty times, there will not remain upon his body anything from the sins, except it will scatter away’’.[27]

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Ubdous Bin Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Bundar Bin Ibrahim Bin Isa, from Ammar Bin Raja’a, from Dawood Bin Dawood, from Nafie Bin Abdullah Bin Ata’a Bin Abu Rabah, from Abdullah Bin Abbas who said,
‘Qabeysa Bin Mukhariq Al Hilaly arrived to Rasool-Allah-saww. He-saww greeted unto him and was welcoming with him. Then he-saww said: ‘What have you come for, O Qabeysa?’
قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَبِرَتْ سِنِّي وَ ضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتِي وَ هُنْتُ عَلَى أَهْلِي وَ عَجَزْتُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ كُنْتُ أَحْمِلُهَا فَعَلِّمْنِي كَلِمَاتٍ يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِنَّ وَ أَوْجِزْ فَإِنِّي رَجُلٌ نَسِيءٌ
He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! I have become old, and my strength has weakened, and I have slowed upon my family, and am frustrated from things I used to endure, so teach me phrases Allah-azwj will Benefit me with these, and be brief for I am a forgetful man’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ فَأَعَادَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ فَأَعَادَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ كَيْفَ قُلْتَ فَأَعَادَهُ
He-saww said: ‘What did you say, O Qabeysa?’ He repeated it. Then he-saww said to him: ‘What did you say, O Qabeysa?’ He repeated it. Then he-saww said to him: ‘What did you say, O Qabeysa?’ He repeated it.
فَقَالَ مَا بَقِيَ حَوْلَكَ حَجَرٌ وَ لَا شَجَرٌ وَ لَا مَدَرٌ إِلَّا وَ بَكَى رَحْمَةً لَكَ يَا قَبِيصَةُ احْفَظْ عَنِّي أَمَّا لِدُنْيَاكَ فَقُلْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْغَدَاةَ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَهُنَّ أَمِنْتَ مِنْ عَمًى وَ جُذَامٍ وَ بَرَصٍ وَ فَالِجٍ
He-saww said: ‘There does not remain around you, neither a tree nor mud, except and it has wept in mercy (pity) for you. O Qabeysa! Memorised from me-saww. As for your world, say three times when you have prayed the morning Salat, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise! Glorious is Allah-azwj the Magnificent and with His-azwj Praise! There is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’ When you have said these (phrases), you will be safe from blindness, and leprosy, and vitiligo, and paralysis.
وَ أَمَّا لِآخِرَتِكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ
And as for your Hereafter, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Guide me from You-azwj, and Pour upon me from Your-azwj Grace, and Sprinkle upon me from Your-azwj Mercy, and Send down upon me from Your-azwj Blessings!’’
قَالَ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُهُنَّ وَ قَبِيصَةُ يَعْقِدُ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَصَابِعَهُ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ إِنَّ خَالَكَ هَذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَشَدَّ مَا عَقَدَ عَلَيْهِنَّ أَصَابِعَهُ يَعْنِي الْكَلِمَاتِ الْأَرْبَعَ
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww went on saying these, and Qabeysa was tying (counting) upon these with his fingers. Abu Bakr and Umar said, ‘This is your-saww maternal uncle, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Severe is what he has tied his fingers upon’ – meaning the four phrases.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنْ وَافَى بِهِنَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لَمْ يَدَعْهُنَّ مُتَعَمِّداً فُتِحَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ أَيِّهَا شَاءَ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘If he is loyal with these on the Day of Qiyamah, not leaving them deliberately, four doors of the Paradise will be opened for him. He can enter from whichever of these he so desires’’.
قَالَ نَافِعٌ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ جَاراً لِي جَلِيساً لِلْحَسَنِ فَحَدَّثَ بِهِ الْحَسَنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ائْتِنِي بِهِ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ
Nafie said, ‘I narrated this Hadeeth to a neighbour of mine, a sitter to Al Hassan (Al Basry). He narrated to Al Hassan with it. He said, ‘Come to me with him!’ I came to him. He asked me about the Hadeeth. I narrated it.
فَقَالَ مَا أَغْلَى حَدِيثَكَ هَذَا يَا خُرَاسَانِيُّ عِنْدِي وَ أَرْخَصَهُ عِنْدَكَ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ أَوْطَأَ رَجُلٌ رَاحِلَتَهُ حَتَّى قَدِمَ عَلَى صَاحِبِ الْحَدِيثِ وَ هُوَ وَالِي مِصْرَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ لِشَيْءٍ مِمَّا فِي يَدِكَ ثُمَّ سَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْحَدِيثِ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ.
He said, ‘How precious is this Hadeeth of yours in my view, O Khurasani, and very cheap (worthless) in your view. By Allah-azwj! A man sat upon his riding animal until he arrived to owner of the Hadeeth, and he was a governor of Egypt. He said (to the governor), ‘I have not come to you for something from what is in your hands (possession)’. Then he asked him about the Hadeeth, then he left’’.[28]

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Hamza Bin Al Qasim Al Alawy, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Malik Al Fazary, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Bin Zayd, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al Mufazzal Bin Umar who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘For which reason does the praying one exclaim Takbeer thrice raising his hands with it?’
فَقَالَ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص لَمَّا فَتَحَ مَكَّةَ صَلَّى بِأَصْحَابِهِ الظُّهْرَ عِنْدَ الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَ كَبَّرَ ثَلَاثاً وَ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ أَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ وَ غَلَبَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
He-asws said: ‘Because when the Prophet-saww conquered Makkah, he-saww prayed Salat Al Zohr with his companions at the Black Stone. When he-saww performed Salaam, he-saww raised his-saww hands and exclaimed thrice and said: ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, Alone, Alone! He-azwj Fulfils His-azwj Promise, and Helps His-azwj servants, and Strengthens His-azwj soldiers, and Overcomes the confederates Alone. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and Causes to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ لَا تَدَعُوا هَذَا التَّكْبِيرَ وَ هَذَا القَوْلَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَإِنَّ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ وَ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى مَا يَجِبُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ شُكْرِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ذِكْرُهُ عَلَى تَقْوِيَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ جُنْدِهِ.
Then he-saww faced towards his-saww companions. He-saww said: ‘Do not leave this Takbeer, and this word in the end of every Prescribed (obligatory) Salat, for the one who does that after the Salaam and says this word, he would have fulfilled what had been obligated upon him of thanking Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention, upon strengthening of Al Islam and its soldiers’’.[29]

‘Froom Al Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said to Ali-asws: ‘O Ali-asws! Upon you-asws is with reciting Ayat Al Kursy in the end of the Prescribed Salat, for no one will preserve upon it except a Prophet-saww, or a truthful, or a martyr’’.[32]

30- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُزَوِّلَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً أَحَداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ مَحَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ أَرْبَعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ كَانَ مِثْلَ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from his father, from Safwan, from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘One who says after his being free from the Salat before he moves his knees, ‘I testify there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, One God-azwj, First, Last, He-azwj neither took a female companion nor a son’ – twelve times, Allah-azwj will Delete for him forty million evil deeds, and Write for him forty million good deed, and he would be like the one who has recited the Quran twelve times’.
ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ فَقَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَا أُزَوِّلُ رُكْبَتَيَّ حَتَّى أَقُولَهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ أَمَّا أَنْتُمْ فَقُولُوهَا عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.
Then he-asws turned towards me. He-asws said: ‘As for me-asws, I-asws do not move my-asws knees until I-asws have said it one hundred times, and as for you (Shias), you should say it ten times’’.[40]

O best of the ones asked, and O best of the ones who give! O Truthful! O Fashioner! O One‑azwj Who does not break the Promise! O One-azwj Who Commanded with the supplication and Encumbered Himself-azwj with the Answering! O One-azwj Who Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. [40:60]!
يَا مَنْ قَالَ وَ إِذا سَأَلَكَ عِبادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذا دَعانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَ لْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ
O One-azwj Who Said: And when My servants ask you about Me, I am near; I Answer the supplication of the suppliant when he supplicates to Me; so let them answer to Me and let them believe in me, perhaps they would be rightly Guided [2:186].
وَ يَا مَنْ قَالَ يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
And O One-azwj Who Said: Say: ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. Surely, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [39:53].
لَبَّيْكَ وَ سَعْدَيْكَ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ الْمُسْرِفُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً.
At Your-azwj service and Your-azwj assistance! Here I am in front of You-azwj, the one extravagant upon himself, and You-azwj Said: Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether [39:53]’’.[41]

He-azwj Fulfils His-azwj Promise and Helps His-azwj servant, and Defeats the confederates Alone, and Strengthened his-saww army Alone. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and He-azwj Causes to die. The goodness is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’

And you should glorify the Glorification of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and it is of thirty-four Takbeer(s), and thirty-three Glorifications, and thirty-three Praises. Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj!

Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasools [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182]’.

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbar’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, by a chain connected to,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Least of what suffices from the supplication after the Prescribed (Salats) is his saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of every good Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from every evil Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Grant me well-being in my matters, all of them, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from disgrace of the world and Punishment of the Hereafter’’.[52]
بيان أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ بِقَوْمٍ فَخَفِّفْ وَ إِذَا كُنْتَ وَحْدَكَ فَثَقِّلْ فَإِنَّهَا الْعِبَادَةُ.
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When you pray with a group, then lighten, and when you were alone, be heavy, for it is the worship’’.
38- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ زِيَادِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَائِذٍ الْأَحْمَسِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَرْبَعَةٌ أُوتُوا سَمْعَ الْخَلَائِقِ- النَّبِيُّ ص وَ حُورُ الْعِينِ وَ الْجَنَّةُ وَ النَّارُ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Ahmad Bin Ziyad Bin Ja’far Al Hamdany, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Aaiz Al Ahmasy,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Four are given the hearing of the creatures – the Prophet‑saww, and the Maiden Hourie, and the Paradise, and the Fire.
فَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص أَوْ يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بَلَغَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ سَمِعَهُ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّجْنَا مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ إِلَّا سَمِعَتْهُ وَ قُلْنَ يَا رَبَّنَا فُلَاناً قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَزَوِّجْنَا مِنْهُ
There is none from a servant who prays Salat upon the Prophet-saww or greets unto him-saww except that reaches him-saww and he-saww hears him; and there is no one who says, ‘O Allah‑azwj! Marry us to the Maiden Houries, except they hear him and say, ‘O our Lord-azwj! So and so has proposed to us to You-azwj, so get us married to him!’
وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ إِلَّا قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ اللَّهُمَّ أَسْكِنْهُ فِيَّ وَ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ إِلَّا قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ أَجِرْهُ مِنِّي.
And there is no one saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! Admit me into the Paradise’. Except the Paradise says: ‘O Allah-azwj! Settle him in me!’; and there is no one seek shelter with Allah-azwj from the Fire, except the Fire says: ‘O Lord-azwj, shelter him from me!’’[53]
39- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع لِلْبَرَاءِ بْنِ عَازِبٍ أَ لَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى أَمْرٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتَهُ كُنْتَ وَلِيَّ اللَّهِ حَقّاً
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said to Al-Bara’a Bin Aazib: ‘Shall I-asws point you upon a matter, if you were to do it, you would be a friend of Allah-azwj truly?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى
I said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ تُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ عَشْراً وَ تَحْمَدُهُ عَشْراً وَ تُكَبِّرُهُ عَشْراً وَ تَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَشْراً
He-asws said: ‘You should glorify Allah-azwj in the end of every Salat ten (times), and praise Him‑azwj ten (times), and exclaim His-azwj Greatness ten (times), and you should say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’ ten (times).
يَصْرِفُ ذَلِكَ عَنْكَ أَلْفَ بَلِيَّةٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَيْسَرُهَا الرِّدَّةُ عَنْ دِينِكَ وَ يَدَّخِرُ لَكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَلْفَ مَنْزِلَةٍ أَيْسَرُهَا مُجَاوَرَةُ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
That will turn away from you a thousand afflictions in the world, least of these being the apostasy from your religion, and treasure for you in the Hereafter a thousand status(es), least of these being in the neighbourhood of your Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww’.
And the Prophet-saww said: ‘There is none from a servant extending his hands at the end of his Salat, then he says, ‘My God-azwj, and God-azwj of Ibrahim-as and Is’haq-as and Yaqoub-as, and God-azwj of Jibraeel-as and Israfeel-as!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ دَعْوَتِي فَإِنِّي مُضْطَرٌّ وَ تَعْصِمَنِي فِي دِينِي فَإِنِّي مُبْتَلًى وَ تَنَالَنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَإِنِّي مُذْنِبٌ وَ تَنْفِيَ عَنِّي الْفَقْرَ فَإِنِّي مِسْكِينٌ إِلَّا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ لَا يَرُدَّ يَدَيْهِ خَائِبَتَيْنِ.
I ask You-azwj to Answer my supplication, for I am desperate, and Protect me regarding my religion for I am afflicted, and Give me Your-azwj Mercy for I am a sinner, and Negate the poverty from me for I am poor’, except he would have a right upon Allah-azwj not to Reject his hands disappointed’’.[54]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ تُقُبِّلَتْ صَلَاتُهُ وَ يَكُونُ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَ بِعِصْمَةِ اللَّهِ.
And he-asws said: ‘One who recites Ayat Al-Kursy in the end of every Prescribed Salat, his Salat will be Accepted and he would be in the Security of Allah-azwj and with Protection of Allah‑azwj’’.[55]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ قَالَ: عَرَضَ لِي وَجَعٌ فِي رُكْبَتِي فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ إِذَا أَنْتَ صَلَّيْتَ فَقُلْ يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَ خَيْرَ مَا سُئِلَ يَا أَرْحَمَ مَنِ اسْتُرْحِمَ ارْحَمْ ضَعْفِي وَ قِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ وَجَعِي
And from Abu Ja’far Al Ahowl who said,
‘There presented to me pain in my knees, so I complained of that to Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said: ‘When you have prayed Salat, then say, ‘O most Generous of the ones who give, and Best of ones who are asked, O most Merciful of the ones seeking Mercy! Mercy my weakness, and lack of my means, and Cure me from my pain!’’
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ فَعُوفِيتُ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said (it) and was cured’’.[56]
40- عِدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، رَوَى ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ يَا مَنْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُهُ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ سَأَلَ أُعْطِيَ مَا سَأَلَ.
(The book) ‘Iddat Al Daie’ – It is reported by Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,
‘One who says in the end of the obligatory (Salat), ‘O One-azwj Who does whatever He-azwj so Desires, and no one else does whatever he so desires apart from Him-azwj’ – three times, then he asks, will be Given what he asks for’’.[57]
41- دَعَائِمُ الْإِسْلَامِ، رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أُمَّتِي قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ جَبْهَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ وَ الْهَمَّ وَ الْفِتَنَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ.
(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ –
‘We are reporting from Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is no one from my‑saww community fulfilling his Salat, then he wipes his forehead with his right hand then says, ‘O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise. There is no god except You-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen! O Allah-azwj! Remove from us the grief, and the worries, and the Fitna, whatever is apparent from it and whatever is hidden’, except Allah-azwj will Give him what he asks for’’.[58]
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ اللَّهُمَّ تَمَّ نُورُكَ فَهَدَيْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ عَظُمَ حِلْمُكَ فَعَفَوْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَ
And from Ali-asws, he-asws was saying in the end of every Salat: ‘O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj Noor is complete so You-azwj Guided! For You-azwj is the Praise and mighty is Your-azwj Forbearance, so You-azwj Pardoned! For You-azwj is the Praise and You-azwj Extended Your-azwj Hand, so You-azwj Gave!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ رَبَّنَا وَجْهُكَ أَكْرَمُ الْوُجُوهِ وَ جَاهُكَ خَيْرُ الْجَاهِ وَ عَطِيَّتُكَ أَنْفَعُ الْعَطِيَّةِ وَ أَهْنَؤُهَا، تُطَاعُ رَبَّنَا فَتَشْكُرُ وَ تُعْصَى رَبَّنَا فَتَغْفِرُ
For You-azwj is the Praise, our Lord-azwj! Your-azwj Face is the most honourable of the faces, and Your-azwj Glory is best of the glories, and Your-azwj Award is more beneficial of the awards! Our Lord-azwj! You-azwj are obeyed, so You-azwj thank, and You-azwj are disobeyed, our Lord-azwj, and You-azwj Forgive!
تُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ وَ تَكْشِفُ السُّوءَ وَ تَشْفِي السَّقِيمَ مِنَ الْكَرْبِ وَ تَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ تَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ لَا يَجْزِي بِآلَائِكَ أَحَدٌ وَ لَا يُحْصِي نِعْمَتَكَ عَادٌّ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ قَوْلُ قَائِلٍ.
You-azwj Answer the desperate and Uncover the evil, and Your-azwj Heal the sick from the distress, and Accept the repentance, and You-azwj Forgive the sins. No one can suffice Your-azwj Favours, nor can any counter count Your-azwj bounties, nor can the word of a speaker reach Your-azwj Praise’’.[59]
وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَقُلْ بِعَقِبِ صَلَاتِكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صَلَّيْتُ وَ لَكَ دَعَوْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ رَجَوْتُ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي فِي صَلَاتِي وَ دُعَائِي بَرَكَةً تُكَفِّرُ بِهَا سَيِّئَاتِي وَ تُبَيِّضُ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ تُكْرِمُ بِهَا مَقَامِي وَ تَحُطُّ بِهَا عَنِّي وِزْرِي
And from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘When you have prayed Salat, say as a follow-up of your Salat, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have prayed to You-azwj, and have supplicated to You‑azwj, and I am hoping to You-azwj. I ask You-azwj to Make Blessings for me in my Salat and my supplication to Expiate my sins with it, and Brighten my face by it, and Honour my position with it, and Remove my burden from me due to it!
اللَّهُمَّ احْطُطْ عَنِّي وِزْرِي وَ اجْعَلْ مَا عِنْدَكَ خَيْراً لِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَضَى عَنِّي صَلَاةً- كانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتاباً مَوْقُوتاً.
O Allah-azwj! Remove my burden away from me and Make what is in Your-azwj Presence better for me! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Fulfils Salat from me, which was always a timed ordinance upon the Momineen’’.[60]
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ السَّلَامِ- اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ أَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
And from Ali-asws, he-asws was saying after the Salaam (of the Salat): ‘O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me what I have sent forward and what I have held back, and what I have kept secret and what I have done openly, and what You-azwj are more Knowing with it than I am. You-azwj are the Forwarder! You-azwj are the Delayer! There is no god except You-azwj!’’[61]
وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ جَازَ الصِّرَاطَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَ جَبْرَئِيلُ آخِذٌ بِحُجْزَتِهِ وَ هُوَ يَنْظُرُ فِي النَّارِ يَمِيناً وَ شِمَالًا فَمَنْ رَأَى فِيهَا مِمَّنْ يَعْرِفُهُ دَخَلَ بِذَنْبٍ غَيْرِ شِرْكٍ أَخَذَ بِيَدِهِ فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ.
And from Ali-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘One who recites in the end of every Prescribed Salat, Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed) one hundred times, will cross the Bridge on the Day of Qiyamah and on his right would be eight cubits and on his left would be seven cubits, and Jibraeel-as will be holding his side and he will be looking into the Fire right and left. The one from the ones he recognises being in it, having entered it for other than Shirk, he will grab his hand and enter him into the Paradise with his intercession’’.[62]
وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِذَا سَلَّمْتَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ فَكَبِّرْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘When you have performed Salaam from the Salat, exclaim Takbeer three times and say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise. The goodness is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ غَلَبَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ
There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone! He-azwj Fulfils His-azwj Promise, and Helps His-azwj servant, and Overcomes the confederates Alone! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! The Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ قُلْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ كَانَ يُسْتَحَبُ.
Then say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Glorious is Allah-azwj and the Praise is for Allah-azwj!’ – ten times, for what would be recommended’’.[63]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي التَّسْبِيحِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً فَإِنْ بَلَغَ مِائَةً فِي التَّسْبِيحِ وَ التَّحْمِيدِ وَ التَّكْبِيرِ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ.
And from him-asws having said in glorification in the end of every Salat thirty times: ‘If he reaches one hundred in the glorification, and the Praise, and the Takbeer (Glorification of Fatima-asws), it is superior’’.[64]
وَ رُوِّينَا عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع أَنَّهُمْ أَمَرُوا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالتَّقَرُّبِ بِعَقِبِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَرِيضَةٍ وَ التَّقَرُّبُ أَنْ يَبْسُطَ الْمُصَلِّي يَدَيْهِ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ وَ بَعْدَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ إِنْ شَاءَ مَا أَحَبَّ وَ إِنْ شَاءَ جَعَلَ الدُّعَاءَ بَعْدَ التَّقَرُّبِ وَ هُوَ أَحْسَنُ وَ يَرْفَعُ بَاطِنَ كَفَّيْهِ وَ يُقَلِّبُ ظَاهِرَهُمَا وَ يَقُولُ-
And we are reporting from the Imams-asws, they instructed after that with the drawing closer (to Allah-azwj) at the every of every obligatory Salat, and the drawing closer is the praying one extending his hand after him being free from the Salat, and before he arises from his place, and afterwards he can supplicate if he so desires with whatever he likes, and if he so desires he can make the supplication to be after the drawing closer, and it is better, and he should raise the inside of his palm and overturn their outside and say: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ بِعَلِيٍّ وَصِيِّهِ وَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ بِالْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ وُلْدِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ يُسَمِّي الْأَئِمَّةَ إِمَاماً إِمَاماً حَتَّى يُسَمِّيَ إِمَامَ عَصْرِهِ
‘O Allah-azwj! I hereby draw closer to You-azwj through Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj Rasool-saww and Your-azwj Prophet-as, and through Ali-asws his-saww successor-asws and Your-azwj Guardian-asws, and with the Imams-asws from his-asws sons-asws, the Purified – Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad‑asws’ – and he should name the Imams-asws, Imam-asws by Imam-asws, until he has named the Imam-asws of his time.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِهِمْ وَ أَتَوَلَّاهُمْ وَ أَتَبَرَّأُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ أَشْهَدُ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقَائِقِ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ صِدْقِ الْيَقِينِ أَنَّهُمْ خُلَفَاؤُكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ حُجَجُكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ الْوَسَائِلُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَبْوَابُ رَحْمَتِكَ
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I hereby draw closer to You-azwj through them-asws, and I befriend them-asws and disavow from their-asws enemies, and O Allah-azwj! I testify with the realities of sincerity and the truthful certainty they-asws are Your-azwj Caliphs in Your-azwj earth, and Your-azwj Divine Authorities upon Your-azwj servants, and the means to You-azwj, and doors of Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ احْشُرْنِي مَعَهُمْ وَ لَا تُخْرِجْنِي مِنْ جُمْلَةِ أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ وَ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى عَهْدِهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ وَجِيهاً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ ثَبِّتِ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ زِدْنِي هُدًى وَ نُوراً
O Allah-azwj! Resurrect me with them-asws and do not Expel me from the total of their-asws friends, and Affirm me upon their-asws covenant, and Make me a (dignified) face in Your-azwj Presence due to them-asws, in the world and the Hereafter, and being from the ones of proximity, and Affirm the certainty in my heart and Increase me in Guidance and Noor!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ جَزِيلِ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ عِبَادَكَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَا آمَنُ بِهِ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ وَ أَسْتَوْجِبُ بِهِ رِضَاكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ اهْدِنِي إِلَى مَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
O Allah-azwj!

Forgive (my sins) for me, and Determined Forgiveness not leaving out any sin nor do I commit a Prohibition after it, ever, and Pardon me a Pardon there being no affliction after it, ever, and Guide me a Guidance I will not stray after it, ever!
وَ انْفَعْنِي يَا رَبِّ بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَ اجْعَلْهُ لِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ وَ ارْزُقْنِي كَفَافاً وَ رَضِّنِي بِهِ يَا رَبَّاهْ وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَحِيمُ ارْحَمْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ ذَاتِ السَّعِيرِ
And Benefit me, O Lord-azwj, with what You-azwj Teach me, and Make it to be for me and do not Make it to be against me, and Grace me sufficiency and Cause me to be satisfied with it, O Lord-azwj, and Turn to me, O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! O Beneficent! O Merciful! O Merciful! Mercy me from the Fire being with the blazes.
وَ ابْسُطْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ سَعَةِ رِزْقِكَ وَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ وَ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ أَبْلِغْ مُحَمَّداً عَنِّي تَحِيَّةً كَثِيرَةً وَ سَلَاماً وَ اهْدِنِي بِهُدَاكَ وَ أَغْنِنِي بِغِنَاكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ
And Extend to me from the vastness of Your-azwj sustenance, and Guide me to what they are differing in from the truth, by Your-azwj Permission, and Protect me from the Pelted Satan-la, and Deliver many salutations and greetings to Muhammad-saww on my behalf, and Guide me with Your-azwj Guidance, and Enrich me with Your-azwj riches, and Make me being from Your‑azwj sincere friends.
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ آمِينَ
And may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, Ameen!’’
قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ رَدَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رُوحَهُ فِي قَبْرِهِ وَ كَانَ حَيّاً مَرْزُوقاً نَاعِماً مَسْرُوراً إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ.
He-asws said: ‘One who says this after every Salat, Allah-azwj will Return his soul to him in his grave, and he would be alive, being Sustained, being in bliss, happy up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[76]

51 التَّهْذِيبُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنَّ شِيعَتَكَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ مُسْتَقَرٌّ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعٌ فَعَلِّمْنِي شَيْئاً إِذَا أَنَا قُلْتُهُ اسْتَكْمَلْتُ الْإِيمَانَ
(The book) ‘Al Tahzeeb’ – by his chain, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws. I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Your-asws Shias are saying that the Eman is lent (temporary) and deposited (permanent), so teach me something, if I were to say it, the Eman would be perfected (by it)’.
قَالَ قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ فَرِيضَةٍ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبّاً وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيّاً وَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً وَ بِالْقُرْآنِ كِتَاباً وَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ قِبْلَةً وَ بِعَلِيٍّ وَلِيّاً وَ إِمَاماً وَ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘Say in the end of every obligatory Salat, ‘I am satisfied with Allah-azwj as Lord-azwj, and with Muhammad-saww as Prophet-saww, and with Al-Islam as religion, and with the Quran as a Book, and with the Kabah as direction, and with Ali-asws as Guardian-asws, and Imam-asws, and with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws and the Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws!

And from him, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Numan, from one of his companions,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘When you finish from the Salat, you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj!

The book of Aasim Bin Humeyd, from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Ja’far-asws. I sat down until he-asws was free from his-asws Salat. I memorised in the end of his-asws supplication, and he-asws said: Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed) up to end of the Chapter. Then he-asws repeated it. Then he-asws recited: Say: ‘O you Kafirs!’ [109:1] (Surah Al Kafiroun) until he-asws ended it.
تَمَّ قَالَ لَا أَعْبُدُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ لَا أَعْبُدُ إِلَّا اللَّهَ وَ- الْإِسْلَامُ دِينِي ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ أَعَادَهُمَا ثُمَّ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ مِنْهُمْ بِإِحْسَانٍ.
Then he-asws said: ‘I-asws do not worship except Allah-azwj! I-asws do not worship except Allah-azwj, and Al-Islam is my-asws religion!’ Then he-asws recited Al Mawazateyn, then repeated these two. Then he-asws said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Family-asws of Muhammad-saww, ones from them who follow him-saww with the goodness’’.[81]

(The books) ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and Al Balad Al Amin’, and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, and ‘Makarim Al Akhlaq’, and ‘Ikhtiyar’ of Ibn Al Baqi, and the wordings are of ‘Al Misbah’ –
‘Then he should perform Salaam (in Salat), then raise his hands with the Takbeer up to parallel to his ears. He should exclaim three Takbeer(s) in one process, then he should what is appropriate to be say as a follow-up of every of every obligatory (Salat), and it is: –
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً وَ نَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ لَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَ رَبُّ آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ
‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, one God-azwj, and we are submitting to Him-azwj! There is no god except Allah-azwj and we do not worship except Him-azwj, being sincere to Him-azwj in religion and even if the Polytheists dislike it! There is no god except Allah-azwj, our Lord-azwj and Lord-azwj of our forefathers, the former ones!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ صَدَقَ عَبْدَهُ وَ أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ أَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ وَ هَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, Alone, Alone! He-azwj Ratifies His-azwj servant, and Fulfils His-azwj Promise, and Helps His-azwj servant, and Strengthens His-azwj army, and Defeats the confederates Alone. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-saww Causes to live and Causes to dies, and He-azwj Causes to die and Causes to live, and He-azwj is Alive and does not die. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.
Then he should say, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Eternal, and I repent to Him-azwj’ – three times.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Guide me from You-azwj and Pour Your-azwj Grace upon me, and Sprinkle Your-azwj Mercy upon me, and Send down Your-azwj Blessings upon me. Glory be to You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! Forgive my sins for me, all of them together, for no one Forgives the sins all of them together except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of every good Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from every evil Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَافِيَتَكَ فِي أُمُورِي كُلِّهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ عِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ شَرِّ الْأَوْجَاعِ كُلِّهَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Grant me well-being in my matters, all of them, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from disgrace of the world and Punishment of the Hereafter, and I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face and Your-azwj Might which cannot be overpowered, and Your‑azwj Power which nothing can defend from it, from evil of the world and the Hereafter, and evil of the pains, all of them, and from evil of every animal You-azwj Seize it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56].
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
And there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent. I rely upon the Living Who does not die, and ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111]’.
ثُمَّ يُسَبِّحُ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ قَدْ قَدَّمْنَا شَرْحَهُ وَ تَقُولُ عَقِيبَ ذَلِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ- مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ عَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّ اللَّهِ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً
Then he should glorify (Allah-azwj) with the Glorification of Al-Zahra-asws (Syeda Fatima-asws), and we have presented its commentary, and you should say as a follow-up of that, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, Ali-asws is Guardian-asws Allah‑azwj! Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawaat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawaat upon him and submit submissively [33:56].
لَبَّيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ لَبَّيْكَ وَ سَعْدَيْكَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ
At Your-azwj service O Allah-azwj, at Your-azwj service and Your-azwj assistance! O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of the Household of Muhammad-saww, and upon offspring of Muhammad-saww. May the greetings be upon him-saww, and upon them-asws, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ التَّسْلِيمَ مِنَّا لَهُمْ وَ الِايتِمَامَ بِهِمْ وَ التَّصْدِيقَ لَهُمْ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا بِكَ وَ صَدَّقْنَا رَسُولَكَ وَ سَلَّمْنَا تَسْلِيماً- رَبَّنا آمَنَّا بِما أَنْزَلْتَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ وَ آلَ الرَّسُولِ فَاكْتُبْنا مَعَ الشَّاهِدِينَ
And I testify that the greeting is from us to them-asws, and being led by them-asws, and the ratification to them-asws. We believe in You-azwj and we ratify Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and we submit submissively! Our Lord! We believe in what You have Revealed and we follow the Rasool, – and the Progeny-asws of the Rasool-saww – so Write us down with the testifiers’ [3:53].

And say three times, ‘I seek Refuge for myself, and my religion, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and my brothers in my religion, and whatever Allah-azwj has Graced me, and the ones whose affairs concern me, with Allah-azwj the One, the first, the last Who He does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4].
وَ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ غاسِقٍ إِذا وَقَبَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حاسِدٍ إِذا حَسَدَ
And with Lord of Al-Falaq [113:1] From evil of what He Created [113:2] And from evil of darkness when it spreads [113:3] And from evil of the blowers into the knots [113:4] And from evil of an envier when he envies [113:5].
وَ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ مَلِكِ النَّاسِ إِلهِ النَّاسِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْواسِ الْخَنَّاسِ الَّذِي يُوَسْوِسُ فِي صُدُورِ النَّاسِ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَ النَّاسِ
And with Lord of the people [114:1] King of the people [114:2] God of the people [114:3] From the evil of doubts insinuated by the wicked one [114:4] Who insinuates into the chests of people [114:5] Being from the Jinn and the people [114:6]’.
وَ تَقُولُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ مَا لَمْ يَشَأْ لَمْ يَكُنْ
And you should say, ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, – my Lord-azwj is Allah-azwj – there is no god but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]! Whatever Allah-azwj Desires comes into being, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire, does not come into being!
أَشْهَدُ وَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً وَ أَحْصى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَداً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ-
I testify and know that Allah-azwj is Able upon all things, and Allah-azwj Encompasses all things in Knowledge, and Enumerates all things by number! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of myself, and from evil of every animal You-azwj Seize it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]’.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لِدِينِي وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لِدُنْيَايَ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لِآخِرَتِي وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لِمَا هَمَّنِي وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ الْمَسْأَلَةِ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ الصِّرَاطِ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
Then you should say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Allah-azwj Suffices me for my religion, and Allah-azwj Suffices me for my world, and Allah-azwj Suffices me for my Hereafter, and Allah-azwj Suffice me for what worries me, and Allah-azwj Suffices me for the one who rebels against me, and Allah-azwj will Suffice me during the death, and Allah-azwj will Suffices me during the questioning in the grave, and Allah-azwj will Suffice me at the Scale, and Allah-azwj will Suffice me at the Bridge, and Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]’’.[82]

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The Sheykh has gathered these follow-up (acts of worship) from various places and different Ahadeeth.
وَ رَوَاهُ فِي التَّهْذِيبِ بِسَنَدٍ مُوَثَّقٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ
And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al-Tahzeeb’ – by a trusted chain from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Say after the Salaam (in Salat), ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and He-azwj Causes to dies, and He-azwj is Alive and will not be dying.
بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ صَدَقَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ هَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِإِذْنِكَ إِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
The good is in his Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things. There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone. He-azwj is Truthful of His-azwj Promise, and Defeats the confederates Alone. O Allah-azwj! Guide me to what they are differing in from the truth, by Your-azwj Permission. Surely, You-azwj Guide the one You-azwj Desire to the Straight Path!’’
وَ رَوَى فِي الْكَافِي بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع إِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَوَاتِي يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ لِي بِهِ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
And it is reported in Al-Kafi, by his chain, said, ‘Muhammad Bin Ibrahim wrote to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, ‘O my Master-asws! If you-asws view fit, teach me a supplication I can supplicate with in the end of my Salats, Allah-azwj will Gather for me goodness of the world and the Hereafter due to it’.
فَكَتَبَ ع تَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ عِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْأَوْجَاعِ كُلِّهَا.
He-asws wrote: ‘You should say, ‘I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Honourable Face, and Your-azwj Might which cannot be overpowered, and Your-azwj Power which cannot be Penetrated by anything from evil of the world and the Hereafter, and from the evil pains, all of them!’’
وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُ فِي كِتَابِ الْفَرَجِ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ لِابْنِ أَبِي الدُّنْيَا إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ لِفُلَانٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَ قَدْ رَآهُ مُتَغَيِّراً مَا هَذَا الَّذِي بِكَ مِنَ السَّوْءِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مِنَ الضَّعْفِ وَ قِلَّةِ مَا فِي الْيَدِ فَقَالَ ص قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ- تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَكْبِيراً.
And Al-Kaf’amy said in ‘Kitab Al-Faraj Ba’ad Al-Shiddat’ of Ibn Abu Al Dunya, ‘The Prophet-saww said to so and so from his-saww companions, and he-saww had seen him changed (of expression): ‘What is this evil which is with you?’ He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-azwj! (It is) from the weakness and lack of what is in the hand!’ He-saww said: ‘Say in the end of every obligatory (Salat), ‘I rely upon the Living who does not die’ – up to his-saww words: ‘Greatness’’.
قَالَ وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَا كَرَثَنِي أَمْرٌ إِلَّا تَمَثَّلَ لِي جَبْرَئِيلُ وَ قَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ تَوَكَّلْتُ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.
He said, ‘And from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘No matter was severe upon me-saww except Jibraeel-as came to me-saww and said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Say, ‘I-saww rely’ – up to its end’’.
وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُ ذَكَرَ صَاحِبُ شَرْحِ نَهْجِ الْبَلَاغَةِ فِي حَدِيثِ الْمِعْرَاجِ أَنَّهُ رَأَى مَلَكاً لَهُ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ رَأْسٍ فِي كُلِّ رَأْسٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ وَجْهٍ فِي كُلِّ وَجْهٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ فَمٍ فِي كُلِّ فَمٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ لِسَانٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ لِسَانٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ لُغَةٍ وَ هُوَ قَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَوْماً هَلْ لَكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ مَنْ لَهُ مِثْلُ عِبَادَتِي
And Al-Kaf’amy said, ‘The author of commentary on Nahj Al-Balagah said in a Hadeeth of Mi’raj, ‘He-saww an Angel having a million heads for him, in each head were a million faces, in each face were a million mouths, in each mouth were a million tongues, and in each tongue were a million languages, and he had asked Allah-azwj one day, ‘Is there for You-azwj from Your-azwj creatures, someone having worship like mine?’
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى إِلَيْهِ أَنَّ لِي فِي الْأَرْضِ عَبْداً أَعْظَمَ ثَوَاباً مِنْكَ وَ أَكْثَرَ تَسْبِيحاً فَاسْتَأْذَنَ الْمَلَكُ فِي زِيَارَتِهِ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَكَانَ عِنْدَهُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَمَا وَجَدَهُ يَزِيدُ عَلَى فَرَائِضِهِ شَيْئاً غَيْرَ قَوْلِهِ بَعْدَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ كُلَّمَا سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ شَيْءٌ إِلَى آخِرِ التَّسْبِيحَاتِ.
Allah-azwj the Exalted Revealed to him: “There is a servant of Mine-azwj in the earth of mightier Reward than you, and of more glorifications!” The Angel sought Permission in visiting him. He-azwj Permitted for him. He came to him and was with him for three days. He did not find him being upon anything more than his obligations, apart from his words after every obligatory (Salat): ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! All things glorify Allah-azwj’ – up to the end of the glorification’’.
وَ رَوَى الْكُلَيْنِيُ بِسَنَدٍ مُوَثَّقٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ أَنْ يَهْبِطْنَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ تَعَلَّقْنَ بِالْعَرْشِ وَ قُلْنَ أَيْ رَبِّ إِلَى أَيْنَ تُهْبِطُنَا إِلَى أَهْلِ الْخَطَايَا وَ الذُّنُوبِ
And it is reported by Al-Kulayni, by a trusted chain from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded these Verses to descend to the earth, they attached with the Throne and said: ‘Yes, Lord-azwj! Where should we go down to, the people of minor and major sins?’
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَيْهِنَّ أَنِ اهْبِطْنَ فَوَ عِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي لَا يَتْلُوكُنَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ فِي دُبُرِ مَا افْتُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا نَظَرْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِعَيْنِيَ الْمَكْنُونَةِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعِينَ نَظْرَةً أَقْضِي إِلَيْهِ فِي كُلِّ نَظْرَةٍ سَبْعِينَ حَاجَةً وَ قَبِلْتُهُ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْمَعَاصِي وَ هِيَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ آيَةُ الْمُلْكِ.
Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Revealed to these: ‘Go down! By My-azwj Might and My-azwj Majesty! No one from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their-asws Shias will recite you in the end of what I-azwj have Obligated upon him, except I-azwj shall Look at him with My-azwj Hidden Eye seventy Glances during every day. With each Glance I-azwj shall Fulfil seventy needs of his and Accept him being upon whatever acts of disobedience he may be in, and these are – Mother of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him [3:18], and Ayat Al Kursy, and Verse of (Surah) Al Mulk’’.
وَ رَوَى الصَّدُوقُ فِي ثَوَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ فِي الْمُوَثَّقِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمَجِّدُ نَفْسَهُ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَمَنْ مَجَّدَ اللَّهَ بِمَا مَجَّدَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ كَانَ فِي حَالِ شِقْوَةٍ حَوَّلَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى سَعَادَةٍ
And it is reported by Al-Sadouq in (the book) ‘Sawaab Al-Amaal’, in the trusted (Hadeeth), from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Glorifies Himself-azwj three times during every day and night. The one who glorifies Allah-azwj with what He-azwj has Glorified Himself-azwj, then were to be in a state of wretchedness, Allah-azwj will Transfer him to happiness’.
فَقُلْتُ كَيْفَ هَذَا التَّمْجِيدُ
I said, ‘How is this glorification?’
قَالَ تَقُولُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَاؤُكَ.
He-asws said: ‘Your saying, ‘You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds’ – up to his-asws words, ‘And the Greatness is Your-azwj Robe’’.
وَ رُوِيَ فِي الْكَافِي بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ الْجَلِيلَ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ الْمَرْهُوبَ الْمَخُوفَ الْمُتَضَعْضِعَ لِعَظَمَتِهِ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ حُفَّ بِجَنَاحٍ مِنْ أَجْنِحَةِ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ حُفِظَ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ.
And it is reported in ‘Al-Kafi’ by his chain, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says in the end of the obligatory (Salat), ‘I entrust to Allah-azwj the Magnificent, the Majestic, myself, and my family, and my children, and ones who affair concerns me; and I entrust Allah-azwj the awed, the feared, the humbled to His-azwj Might, all things – myself, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and the one whose affair concerns me’, will be surrounded by a wing from wings of Jibraeel-as, and will be protected regarding himself, and his family, and his wealth’’.
وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنْهُ قَالَ: لَا تَدَعْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ- أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِاللَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الصَّمَدِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا.
And by another chain from him, he-asws said: ‘Do not leave in the end of every Salat, ‘I seek Refuge for myself and whatever my Lord-azwj has Graced me, with Allah-azwj the One, the last, until He-azwj Ends it; and I seek Refuge for myself and whatever my Lord-azwj has Graced me, with Lord-azwj of Al-Falaq, until He-azwj Ends it; and I seek Refuge for myself and whatever my Lord-azwj has Graced me, with Lord-azwj of the people until He-azwj Ends it!’’
وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مَنْ قَالَ عَقِيبَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ ثَلَاثاً أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي إِلَى آخِرِهِ حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ دَارِهِ.
And Al-Kaf’amy said, ‘It is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who says as follow-up of every obligatory Salat, thrice, ‘I seek Refuge for myself, and my religion’ – up to its end, ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted will Protect him regarding himself, and his wealth, and his children, and his house’’.
وَ قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ احْتَرَقَتْ دَارُكَ فَقَالَ لَمْ تَحْتَرِقْ فَجَاءَ ثَانٍ وَ ثَالِثٌ فَأَخْبَرَاهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ لَمْ تَحْتَرِقْ
And he said, ‘It is reported from Abu Al-Darda’a, ‘It was said one day, ‘Your house has burnt down!’ He said: ‘It has not burned down’. A second one came, and a third and they informed him of that. He said: ‘It has not burned’.
ثُمَّ انْكَشَفَ الْأَمْرُ عَنِ احْتِرَاقِ مَا حَوْلَهَا سِوَاهَا فَقِيلَ لَهُ بِمَا عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ
Then the matter was uncovered about the burning of whatever was around it, apart from it. It was said to him, ‘With what did you-asws know that?’
فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ صَبِيحَةَ يَوْمٍ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ سُوءٌ فِيهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَ فِي مَسَاءِ لَيْلَتِهِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ سُوءٌ فِيهِ وَ قَدْ قُلْتُهَا وَ هِيَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
He said: ‘I heard the Prophet-saww saying: ‘One who says these phrases in the morning of a day, no evil will afflict him during it, and one who says it in an evening of his night, no evil will afflict him during it’, and I had said it, and my Lord-azwj Allah-azwj Sufficed me to the Straight Path’’.
وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ رُؤْيَا الْقَوْمِ مَنْ قَرَأَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعاً حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَا أَهَمَّهُ مِنْ أَمْرِ دَارَيْهِ.
And Al-Kaf’amy said in the book ‘Ru’ya Al-Qawm’, ‘One who recited every day seven times, ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]’, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Suffice him of whatever worries him from the matters of his two houses (world and the Hereafter)’’.
55 الْمُقْنِعَةُ، قَالَ: بَعْدَ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ تَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ تَدْعُو فَتَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنَا بِالْعِلْمِ وَ زَيِّنَّا بِالْحِلْمِ وَ جَمِّلْنَا بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ كَرِّمْنَا بِالتَّقْوَى- إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ.
(The book) ‘Al Muqnie’ –
He said, ‘After Glorification of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and your seeking Forgiveness of Allah-azwj after that with whatever is easy, and your sending Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-as Progeny-asws, and your supplicating, you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Benefit us with the knowledge, and Adorn us with the forbearance, and Load us with the well-being, and Honour us with the piety – Surely, my Guardian is Allah Who Revealed the Book, and He Befriends the righteous [7:196]’’.[83]
56 جُنَّةُ الْأَمَانِ، فِي تَعْقِيبِ مُطْلَقِ الصَّلَوَاتِ ثُمَّ قُلْ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبّاً وَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص نَبِيّاً وَ بِعَلِيٍّ إِمَاماً وَ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْخَلَفِ الصَّالِحِ ع أَئِمَّةً وَ سَادَةً وَ قَادَةً بِهِمْ أَتَوَلَّى وَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ أَتَبَرَّأُ
(The book) ‘Junnat Al Amaan’ –
‘Regarding the absolute follow-up of the Salats: ‘Then say, ‘I am satisfied with Allah-azwj as Lord-azwj, and with Al-Islam as religion, and with Muhammad-saww as Prophet-saww, and with Ali-asws as Imam-asws, and with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws, and Muhammad-asws, and Ja’far-asws, and Musa-asws, and Ali-asws, and Muhammad-asws, and Ali-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and the replacement Al-Salih-ajfj (Al-Mahdi-asws), as Imams-asws, and Chiefs, and Leaders. I befriend them-asws and disavow from their-asws enemies!’
ثُمَّ قُلْ ثَلَاثاً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
Then says thrice, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the Pardon, and the health and the well-being in the world and the Hereafter’’.[84] (Not a Hadeeth)
بَيَانٌ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ ره فِي الْحَدِيثِ سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فَالْعَافِيَةُ أَنْ يُعَافَى مِنَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ الْبَلَايَا وَ الْمُعَافَاةُ أَنْ يُعَافِيَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ يُعَافِيَهُمْ مِنْهُ.
Explanation – Al-Kaf’amy said regarding the Hadeeth, ‘Ask Allah-azwj for the Pardon, and the health and the well-being. The health is his recovery from the sicknesses and the afflictions, while the well-being is his well-being from the people and their well-being from him’’.
وَ فِي كِتَابِ شَرْحِ الْفَاكِهَانِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص مَا مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَا عَبْدُهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ آخِرَ الدُّعَاءِ.
And in the book ‘Sharh Al-Fakihany’ – from the Prophet-saww: ‘There is no supplication more Beloved to Him-azwj the Exalted than His-azwj servant supplicates saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the Pardon’ – (up to) end of the supplication’’.
57 اخْتِيَارُ ابْنِ الْبَاقِي، مِمَّا يُدْعَى عَقِيبَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنَ النِّعْمَةِ تَمَامَهَا وَ مِنَ الْعِصْمَةِ دَوَامَهَا وَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ شُمُولَهَا وَ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ حُصُولَهَا وَ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ أَرْغَدَهُ وَ مِنَ الْعُمُرِ أَسْعَدَهُ وَ مِنَ الْإِحْسَانِ أَتَمَّهُ وَ مِنَ الْإِنْعَامِ أَعَمَّهُ وَ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ أَعَدَّهُ وَ مِنَ اللُّطْفِ أَنْفَعَهُ
(The book) ‘Ikhtiyar’ of Ibn Al Baqi –
‘From what is to be supplicated as follow-up of every obligatory (Salat), ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj from the bounties, their complete, and from the Protection, its constant, and from the Mercy, its inclusiveness, and from the well-being, its resultant, and from the life, its affluent, and from the lifespan, its happiness, and from the goodness, its complete, and from the bounties, its general, and from the Grace, its repeating, and from the Kindness, its beneficial!
اللَّهُمَّ كُنْ لَنَا وَ لَا تَكُنْ عَلَيْنَا اللَّهُمَّ اخْتِمْ بِالسَّعَادَةِ آجَالَنَا وَ حَقِّقْ بِالزِّيَادَةِ آمَالَنَا وَ اقْرِنْ بِالْعَافِيَةِ غُدُوَّنَا وَ آصَالَنَا وَ اجْعَلْ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ مَصِيرَنَا وَ مَآلَنَا اصْبُبْ سِجَالَ عَفْوِكَ عَلَى ذُنُوبِنَا وَ مُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِإِصْلَاحِ عُيُوبِنَا
O Allah-azwj! Be for us and do not Be against us. O Allah-azwj! End our terms with the happiness, and Prove our hopes with the increase, and Pair our mornings and our evenings with the well-being, and Make our destination to Your-azwj Mercy, and Incline us to be poured the lines of Your-azwj Pardon upon our sins, and Confer upon us by Correcting our faults!
اجْعَلِ التَّقْوَى زَادَنَا وَ فِي دِينِكَ اجْتِهَادَنَا وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكُّلَنَا ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَى نَهْجِ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ مُوجِبَاتِ النَّدَامَةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ خَفِّفْ عَنَّا ثِقْلَ الْأَوْزَارِ وَ ارْزُقْنَا عِيشَةَ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ اكْفِنَا وَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا شَرَّ الْأَشْرَارِ وَ أَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا وَ رِقَابَ آبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا مِنَ النَّارِ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا غَفَّارُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا سَتَّارُ يَا حَلِيمُ يَا جَبَّارُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
Make the piety as our provision, and in Your-azwj religion our struggle, and we are relying upon You-azwj! Affirm us upon the path of straightness, and Shelter us from being obligated the regret on the Day of Qiyamah. Lighten from us weight of the burdens, and Grace us lives of the righteous, and Suffice us, and Turn evil of the evil ones away from us, and Liberate our necks and necks of our fathers and our mothers from the Fire! O Mighty! O Forgiver! O Benevolent! O Concealer! O Lenient! O Subduer with Your-azwj Mercy! O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[85]

O Allah-azwj! Remove my weight from me by it, and Make whatever is in Your-azwj Presence as better for me than what You-azwj have Cut off from me. The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who has Fulfilled on my behalf an obligation from the Salats which were always a timed ordinance for the Momineen!

I seek Support against every enemy of mine by taking Allah-azwj as Guardian from every harm caused by any arrogant oppressor, any tyrant with pride, any stubborn powerful one, any wilful and capable ruler, any cunning schemer, and any helper or supporter who tries to deceive me with magic, tricks, harmful plots, or deceiving schemes. I have taken a protective barrier between myself and them from Allah-azwj the Mighty, the Subduer. ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129].
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا بَادِياً بِالْفَوَائِدِ وَ النِّعَمِ يَا فَتَّاحَ الْجُودِ وَ الْكَرَمِ يَا غَايَةَ الطَّالِبِ فِي الْحَوَائِجِ وَ الْهِمَمِ يَا رَبَّ الْبَيْتِ وَ الْحَرَمِ قَلْبِي مُعَلَّقٌ بِجُودِكَ وَ لِسَانِي مُنْطَلِقٌ بِذِكْرِكَ فَلَا عَلَى رَجَائِي أَخَافُ التَّخْيِيبَ وَ لَا عَلَى مُنَايَ أَخَافُ التَّكْذِيبَ
I ask You-azwj, O Bestower of benefits and bounties! O Opener of the generosity and the benevolence! O the Ultimate for the seeker regarding the needs and the aspirations! O Lord-azwj of the House and the Sanctuary! My heart is attached with Your-azwj Generosity, and my tongue is free for Your-azwj Zikr, therefore I do not fear the disappointment upon my hopes nor do I fear the belying of my wishes!
جَنِّبْنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ عَنِ الْمَطَالَبِ بِجُودِكَ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي ثَوْبَ الْكِفَايَةِ بِكَرَمِكَ فَوَ عِزَّتِكَ مَا عَصَيْتُكَ إِذْ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ أَنَا بِنَكَالِكَ جَاهِلٌ وَ لَا عَنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ سَاهٍ وَ لَكِنْ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي وَ اسْتَزَلَّنِي الشَّيْطَانُ بَعْدَ الْبَيَانِ
O my Master-azwj! Keep me aside from the demanding Your-azwj Generosity, and Clothe me the clothing of self-sufficiency by Your-azwj Benevolence! By Your-azwj Might! I did not disobey You-azwj when I did disobey You-azwj while I was ignorant of Your-azwj Retribution, nor was I inattentive of Your-azwj Punishment, but the Satan-la had enticed me and made me slip after the clarity!
فَلَكَ الْعُتْبَى وَ أَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى هَبْ لِي حَقَّكَ وَ أَرْضِ عَنِّي خَلْقَكَ يَا سَامِعَ الصَّوْتِ يَا سَابِقَ الْفَوْتِ يَا كَاسِيَ الْعِظَامِ لَحْماً بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ ارْزُقْنِي قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ وَ زِيَادَةً قَبْلَ الْفَوْتِ
For You-azwj is the Censuring and You-azwj are with the lofty scenario! Gift Your-azwj Right to me and Cause Your-azwj creatures to be satisfied with me. O Preventer of the loss! O Dresser of the bones with meat after the death! Grace me before the death and increase before the loss!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ وَ عَلَيْكَ الْإِجَابَةُ وَ هَذَا الْجُهْدُ وَ عَلَيْكَ التَّوَكُّلُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! This is the supplication, and the Answering is up to You-azwj, and this is the effort and the reliance is upon You-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificence. Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’’[90]
61 تَفْسِيرُ الْإِمَامِ، قَالَ ع قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَوِ الْأَمَةَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَتْ أَقْبَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَلَائِكَتُهُ لِيَسْتَقْبِلَ رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِصَلَاتِهِ فَيُوَجِّهَ إِلَيْهِ رَحْمَتَهُ وَ يُفِيضَ عَلَيْهِ كَرَامَتَهُ
Tafseer of the Imam-asws (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The servant, when it is morning, or the maid, when it is morning, Allah-azwj the Exalted Faces to him and (so do) His-azwj Angels – in order for his Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic to Accept his Salat – So He-azwj can Divert His-azwj Mercy towards him and Pour His-azwj Prestige upon him.
فَإِنْ وَفَى بِمَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِ فَأَدَّى الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مَا فُرِضَتْ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِلْمَلَائِكَةِ خُزَّانِ جِنَانِهِ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِهِ قَدْ وَفَى عَبْدِي هَذَا فَفُوا لَهُ
If he fulfils with what has been Taken upon him (as covenant) and performs his Salat upon what has been necessitated, Allah-azwj the Exalted Says to the Angels, the keepers of His-azwj Gardens, and the bearers of the Throne: “He has fulfilled, this servant of Mine-azwj, therefore fulfil for him!”
وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَفِ قَالَ اللَّهُ لَمْ يَفِ عَبْدِي هَذَا وَ أَنَا الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ فَإِنْ تَابَ تُبْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى طَاعَتِي أَقْبَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ بِرِضْوَانِي وَ رَحْمَتِي
And if he does not fulfil, Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: “He has not fulfilled, this servant of Mine-azwj! And I-azwj am the Forbearing, the Benevolent! If he repents upon it and if he returns to be in My-azwj obedience, I-azwj shall Turn back to Him-azwj with My-azwj Satisfaction and My-azwj Mercy!”
ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى وَ إِنْ كَسِلَ عَمَّا يُرِيدُ قَصَّرْتُ فِي قُصُورِهِ حُسْناً وَ بَهَاءً وَ جَلَالًا وَ شَهَّرْتُ فِي الْجِنَانِ بِأَنَّ صَاحِبَهَا مُقَصِّرٌ
Then Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Says: ‘And if he is too lazy from what is wanted, there is reduced in his castles, the beauty, and the glory, and the majesty, and it is publicised in the Gardens that he is their owner, a deficient one’.
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَمَرَ جَبْرَئِيلَ لَيْلَةَ الْمِعْرَاجِ فَعَرَضَ عَلَيَّ قُصُورَ الْجِنَانِ فَرَأَيْتُهَا مِنَ الذَّهَبِ وَ الْفِضَّةِ مِلَاطُهَا الْمِسْكُ وَ الْعَنْبَرُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي رَأَيْتُ لِبَعْضِهَا شُرَفاً عَالِيَةً وَ لَمْ أَرَ لِبَعْضِهَا
And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘And that is that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded Jibraeel-as on the night of the Ascension (Mi’raj), and he-as displayed unto me-saww the castles of the Gardens. I-saww saw these as being of gold and silver, its mortar being of musk and amber; apart from that I-saww for some of them I-saww saw high honour, and did not see for some of these.
فَقُلْتُ يَا حَبِيبِي مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ بِلَا شُرَفٍ كَمَا لِسَائِرِ تِلْكَ الْقُصُورِ
I-saww said: ‘O my-saww beloved Jibraeel-as! What is the matter these ones are without nobility like what is for the rest of the castles?’
فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ قُصُورُ الْمُصَلِّينَ فَرَائِضَهُمْ الَّذِينَ يَكْسَلُونَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى آلِكَ بَعْدَهَا
He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! These castles are of those who prayed their Obligatory Salats, (but) they were too lazy from sending Salawaat upon you-saww and upon your-saww Progeny-asws after (having prayed) it.
فَإِنْ بَعَثَ مَادَّةً لِبِنَاءِ الشُّرَفِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ بُنِيَتْ لَهُ الشُّرَفُ وَ إِلَّا بَقِيَتْ هَكَذَا فَيُقَالُ حِينَ يَعْرِفُ سُكَّانُ الْجِنَانِ إِنَّ الْقَصْرَ الَّذِي لَا شُرَفَ لَهُ هُوَ الَّذِي كَسِلَ صَاحِبُهُ بَعْدَ صَلَاتِهِ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ
If the materials are sent for the noble construction, from the (sending of) Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, the nobility is built for him, or else it remains like this, until the dwellers of the Gardens recognise that the castle – which there is no nobility for it, it is which its owner was too lazy after (having prayed) his Salat – from sending Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny’.
وَ رَأَيْتُ فِيهَا قُصُوراً مُشْرِفَةً عَجِيبَةَ الْحُسْنِ لَيْسَ لَهَا أَمَامَهَا دِهْلِيزٌ وَ لَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ بُسْتَانٌ وَ لَا خَلْفَهَا فَقُلْتُ مَا بَالُ هَذِهِ الْقُصُورِ لَا دِهْلِيزَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهَا وَ لَا بُسْتَانَ خَلْفَ قُصُورِهَا
And I-saww saw therein castles which were lofty, shining, of wondrous beauty, there was neither a courtyard in front of it, nor an orchard in front of it, nor behind it. I-saww said: ‘What is the matter these castles have no courtyard in front of them nor an orchard behind its castle?’
فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ هَذِهِ قُصُورُ الْمُصَلِّينَ الْخَمْسَ الصَّلَوَاتِ الَّذِينَ يَبْذُلُونَ بَعْضَ وُسْعِهِمْ فِي قَضَاءِ حُقُوقِ إِخْوَانِهِمُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دُونَ جَمِيعِهَا فَلِذَلِكَ قُصُورُهُمْ مُسَتَّرَةٌ بِغَيْرِ دِهْلِيزٍ أَمَامَهَا وَ غَيْرِ بَسَاتِينَ خَلْفَهَا
He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! These are castles of those who prayed the Salat, the five (daily) Salats, those who were only exerting part of their efforts in fulfilling the rights of their Momineen brethren besides the entirety of it. Therefore, due to that, their castles are curtailed, without there being a courtyard in front of it, and without there being an orchard behind it’.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَلَا وَ لَا تَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الْوَلَايَةِ وَحْدَهَا وَ أَدُّوا مَا بَعْدَهَا مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ وَ قَضَاءِ حُقُوقِ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ اسْتِعْمَالِ التَّقِيَّةِ فَإِنَّهُمَا اللَّذَانِ يُتِمَّانِ الْأَعْمَالَ وَ يَقْصُرَانِ بِهَا.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Indeed! Do not be (totally) reliant upon the Wilayah alone, and fulfil what is after it from the Obligations of Allah-azwj, and fulfil the rights of the brethren, and utilise the Taqiyya (dissimulation), for these two are those which (determine) the completion of the deeds and their deficiency with it’’.[91]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – by his chain, from Dawood Al Ijaly who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘Three are given hearing the creatures – the Paradise, and the Fire and the Maiden Houries. When the servant prays Salat and says, ‘O Allah-azwj! Liberate me from the Fire and Admit me into the Paradise and Get me married to the Maiden Hourie, the Fire says: ‘O Lord-azwj! Your-azwj servant has asked You-azwj Liberate him from me, therefore Liberate him!
وَ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ إِيَّايَ فَأَسْكِنْهُ وَ قَالَتِ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَزَوِّجْهُ مِنَّا
The Paradise says: ‘O Lord-azwj! Your-azwj servant has asked You-azwj for me, therefore Settle him!’ And the Maiden Houries say: ‘O Lord-azwj! Your-azwj servant has proposed to us, to You-azwj, therefore get him married to us!’
فَإِنْ هُوَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلْ إِلَيْهِ شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذَا قُلْنَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ هَذَا الْعَبْدُ فِينَا لَزَاهِدٌ وَ قَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَزَاهِدٌ وَ قَالَتِ النَّارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَجَاهِلٌ.
If he leaves from his Salat and does not ask Him-azwj anything from these, the Maiden Houries say: ‘This servant is ascetic regarding us!’ And the Paradise says: ‘This servant is ascetic regarding me!’ And the Fire says: ‘This servant is ignorant regarding me!’’[92]

(The books) ‘Al Kafi’, and ‘Al Tahzeeb’ – By their chains from Al-Husayn Bin Suweyr, and Abu Salama Al Sarraj, both said,
‘We heard Abu Abdullah-asws and he-asws was cursing in the end of every Prescribed Salat, four from the men and four from the women – Al-Taymi (Abu Bakr), and Al-Adwy (Umar), and so and so, and Muawiya, and he-asws named them, and so and so woman, and so and so woman, and Hinda, and Umm Al-Hakam sister of Muawiya’’.[93]

(The book) ‘Al Tahzeeb’ – from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘When you turn away (finish) from a Prescribed Salat, do not turn away (finish) except cursing the clan of Umayya with the leaving’’.[94]

(The book) ‘Muhaj Al Dawaat’ – I found in a collection, in ancient handwriting mentioning its copy, and it is his work. His name is Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Fatir, reporting from his elders. He said what are these words, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ali Al Raqqaq Al Qummi, from his, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Shazan Al Qummi, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh Al Qummi, from his father who said, ‘It is narrated Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Muhammad Bin Isa Bin Ubeyd who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Yahya Al Madainy,

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘From our-asws rights upon our-asws friends and our-asws Shias is that the man from them should not leave from his Salat until he has supplicated with this supplication, and it is: –

I ask You -azwj by Your-azwj right, the Mighty, the Mighty, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Purified Progeny-asws, and to Send Salawaat upon them, Salawaat which is complete, constant, and to enter upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and their-asws loving ones, and their-asws friends, whenever it may be and wherever they may be, in a coast, or mountain, or land, or sea, from the Blessings of my supplication what would delight their eyes with!
احْفَظْ يَا مَوْلَايَ الْغَائِبِينَ مِنْهُمْ وَ ارْدُدْهُمْ إِلَى أَهَالِيهِمْ سَالِمِينَ وَ نَفِّسْ عَنِ الْمَهْمُومِينَ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ اكْسُ الْعَارِينَ وَ أَشْبِعِ الْجَائِعِينَ وَ أَرْوِ الظَّامِئِينَ وَ اقْضِ دَيْنَ الْغَارِمِينَ وَ زَوِّجِ الْعَازِبِينَ وَ اشْفِ مَرْضَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَى الْأَمْوَاتِ مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عُيُونُهُمْ وَ انْصُرِ الْمَظْلُومِينَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ أَطْفِ نَائِرَةَ الْمُخَالِفِينَ
O my Master-azwj! Protect the absentees from them and Return them to their families safely, and Remove stress from the worried ones, and Relieve the distressed ones, and Clothe the bare, and Satiate the hungry, and Saturate the thirsty, and Pay off debts of the ones in debt, and Get the bachelors married, and Heal sickness of the Muslims, and Enter unto the dead what they eyes will be delighted with, and Help the oppressed from friends of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Extinguish fires of the adversaries.
اللَّهُمَّ وَ ضَاعِفْ لَعْنَتَكَ وَ بَأْسَكَ وَ نَكَالَكَ وَ عَذَابَكَ عَلَى اللَّذَيْنِ كَفَرا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ خَوَّنَا رَسُولَكَ وَ اتَّهَمَا نَبِيَّكَ وَ بَايَنَاهُ وَ حَلَّا عَقْدَهُ فِي وَصِيِّهِ وَ نَبَذَا عَهْدَهُ فِي خَلِيفَتِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ
O Allah-azwj! And Multiply Your-azwj Curse, and Your-azwj Prowess, and Your-azwj Torment, and Your-azwj Punishment upon those two (Abu Bakr and Umar) who committed Kufr with Your-azwj bounties, and betrayed Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and accused Your-azwj Prophet-saww and blocked him-saww, and untied the knot (covenant) regarding his-saww successor-asws, and discarded his-saww covenant regarding his-saww caliph from after him-saww!
وَ ادَّعَيَا مَقَامَهُ وَ غَيَّرَا أَحْكَامَهُ وَ بَدَّلَا سُنَّتَهُ وَ قَلَّبَا دِينَهُ وَ صَغَّرَا قَدْرَ حُجَجِكَ وَ بَدَءَا بِظُلْمِهِمْ وَ طَرَقَا طَرِيقَ الْغَدْرِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ الْخِلَافِ عَنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ الْقَتْلِ لَهُمْ وَ إِرْهَاجِ الْحُرُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ
And they claimed his-saww position, and changed his-saww rulings, and replaced his-saww Sunnah, and overturned his-saww religion, and belittled the worth of Your-azwj Divine Authorities and began with oppressing them-asws, and trod the path of betrayal upon them, and the opposing their-asws instructions, and killing them-asws, and ignited the wars against them-asws!
وَ مَنْعِ خَلِيفَتِكَ مِنْ سَدِّ الثَّلْمِ وَ تَقْوِيمِ الْعِوَجِ وَ تَثْقِيفِ الْأَوَدِ وَ إِمْضَاءِ الْأَحْكَامِ وَ إِظْهَارِ دِينِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ إِقَامَةِ حُدُودِ الْقُرْآنِ
And they prevented Your-azwj caliph from bridging the gaps, and straightening the crookedness, and educate the ignorant, and implement the rulings, and manifest the religion of Islam, and establishing legal penalties of the Quran!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا وَ ابنيهما [ابْنَتَيْهِمَا] وَ كُلَّ مَنْ مَالَ مَيْلَهُمْ وَ حَذَا حَذْوَهُمْ وَ سَلَكَ طَرِيقَتَهُمْ وَ تَصَدَّرَ بِبِدْعَتِهِمْ لَعْناً لَا يَخْطُرُ عَلَى بَالٍ وَ يَسْتَعِيذُ مِنْهُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj! Curse them both (Abu Bakr and Umar) and both their daughters (Ayesha and Hafsa), and every one who inclines to their inclinations, and steps in their steps, and travels their paths, and implements their innovations, such a curse which has not occurred upon a mind, and inhabitants of the Fire seek Refuge from it!
الْعَنِ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ دَانَ بِقَوْلِهِمْ وَ اتَّبَعَ أَمْرَهُمْ وَ دَعَا إِلَى وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ شَكَّ فِي كُفْرِهِمْ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا شِئْتَ.
O Allah-azwj! Curse the ones who make it a religion with their words, and follow their orders, and call to their wilayah, and doubts in their Kufr, from the former ones and the latter ones!’ – then supplicate with whatever you so desire to’’.[97]
68 الْمُجْتَبَى، مِنْ كِتَابِ الْعَمَلِيَّاتِ الْمُوصِلَةِ إِلَى رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ تَأْلِيفِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِابْنِ الْخُوارِزْمِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص كُنْتُ أَخْشَى الْعَذَابَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ حَتَّى جَاءَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ بِسُورَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُعَذِّبُ أُمَّتِي بَعْدَ نُزُولِهَا فَإِنَّهَا نِسْبَةُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
(The book) ‘Al Mujtaba’, from the book ‘Al Amaliyaat Al Mowsula Ila Rabb Al Arzeen Wa Al Samawaat’, compilation of Yusuf Bin Muhammad, well known as Ibn Al Khawarizmy, by his chain to Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww used to fear the Punishment night and day until Jibraeel-as came to me-saww with the Chapter: Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed). I-saww came to know that Allah-azwj will not Punish my-saww community after its Revelation for it is an Attribution of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic.
فَمَنْ تَعَاهَدَ قِرَاءَتَهَا بَعْدَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تَنَاثَرَ الْبِرُّ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ عَلَى مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ وَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةُ لَهَا دَوِيٌّ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ حَتَّى يَنْظُرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى قَارِئِهَا
The one who pledges to recite it after every Salat, the righteousness is scattered from the sky upon the top of his head, and such tranquillity descends upon him having a buzz around the Throne, until Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Looks at its reciter.
فَيَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَغْفِرَةً لَا يُعَذِّبُهُ بَعْدَهَا ثُمَّ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ يَجْعَلُهُ فِي كِلَاءَتِهِ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا سَيَأْتِي فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ.
Allah-azwj Forgives for him a Forgiveness, He-azwj will not Punish him after it. Then he will not ask Allah-azwj for anything except Allah-azwj will Give it to him and Make it in his pasture’ – up to the end of what I (Majlisi) will be bringing it in the Book of the Quran’’.[98]
69 اخْتِيَارُ ابْنِ الْبَاقِي، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ بَعْدَ كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَى الْإِمَامَ محمد بْنَ الْحَسَنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ السَّلَامُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ أَوْ فِي الْمَنَامِ-
(The book) ‘Ikhtiyar’ of Ibn Al Baqi,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who recites this supplication after every obligatory (Salat) will see the Imam Mahdi-ajfj son-ajfj of Al-Hassan-asws, may the greetings be upon him-ajfj and upon his-ajfj forefathers-asws, in the wakefulness or in the dream: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلَانَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ أَيْنَمَا كَانَ وَ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ مِنْ مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ عَنْ وُلْدِي وَ إِخْوَانِي التَّحِيَّةَ وَ السَّلَامَ عَدَدَ خَلْقِ اللَّهِ وَ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا أَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُهُ وَ أَحَاطَ عِلْمُهُ
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Deliver the salutations and greetings to our Master-ajfj, Owner of the Time (Al-Mahdi-ajfj), wherever he-ajfj is, and wherever he-ajfj may be, from easts of the earth and its wests, its coasts and its mountains, on my behalf, and on behalf of my parents, and on behalf of my children, and my brethren, (salutations and greetings) of the number of creatures of Allah-azwj, and weight of the Throne of Allah-azwj, and what His-azwj Book has enumerated, and its Knowledge encompasses!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فِي صَبِيحَةِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ مَا عِشْتُ فِيهِ مِنْ أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي عَهْداً وَ عَقْداً وَ بَيْعَةً لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي لَا أَحُولُ عَنْهَا وَ لَا أَزُولُ
O Allah-azwj! In the morning of this day, and whatever I live in it from the days of my life, I hereby renew to him-ajfj, covenant, and agreement, and allegiance to him-ajfj in my neck. I will neither transfer away from it nor will I move!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَنْصَارِهِ وَ نُصَّارِهِ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْهُ وَ الْمُمْتَثِلِينَ لِأَوَامِرِهِ وَ نَوَاهِيهِ فِي أَيَّامِهِ وَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! Make me to be from his-ajfj helpers and his-ajfj supporter, the defenders of his-ajfj, and the ones following his-ajfj orders and his-ajfj prohibitions during his-ajfj days, and the ones martyred in front of him-ajfj!
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ حَتْماً مَقْضِيّاً فَأَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ قَبْرِي مُؤْتَزِراً كَفَنِي شَاهِراً سَيْفِي مُجَرِّداً قَنَاتِي مُلَبِّياً دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِي فِي الْحَاضِرِ وَ الْبَادِي
O Allah-azwj! If there were to be a barrier between me and him-ajfj of the death which You-azwj have Made it to be an inevitable Decree upon Your-azwj servants, then Extract me from my grave wearing my shroud, brandishing my unsheathed sword, devoutly obedient, answering the call of the caller in the near and the far!
اللَّهُمَّ أَرِنِي الطَّلْعَةَ الرَّشِيدَةَ وَ الْغُرَّةَ الْحَمِيدَةَ وَ اكْحُلْ بَصَرِي بِنَظْرَةٍ مِنِّي إِلَيْهِ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Show me the righteous rising, and the praiseworthy beginning, and Enlighten my sight with my looking at him-ajfj, and Hasten his-ajfj relief, and Ease his-ajfj emergence!
اللَّهُمَّ اشْدُدْ أَزْرَهُ وَ قَوِّ ظَهْرَهُ وَ طَوِّلْ عُمُرَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Intensify his-ajfj position, and Strengthen his-ajfj back, and Prolong his-ajfj life!
اللَّهُمَّ اعْمُرْ بِهِ بِلَادَكَ وَ أَحْيِ بِهِ عِبَادَكَ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ ظَهَرَ الْفَسادُ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ بِما كَسَبَتْ أَيْدِي النَّاسِ
O Allah-azwj! Build Your-azwj Land by him-ajfj and Revive Your-azwj servants by him-ajfj, for You-azwj have Said: 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 صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ حَتَّى لَا يَظْفَرَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْبَاطِلِ إِلَّا مَزَّقَهُ- وَ يُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِماتِهِ وَ يُحَقِّقُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Reveal Your-azwj Guardian-ajfj to us, and son-ajfj of the daughter-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and one named with the name of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws until he-ajfj does not win against anything from the falsehood except he-ajfj tears it apart, and Allah will Prove the truth as true by His Words [8:7], and Prove it!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ هَذِهِ الْغُمَّةَ عَنْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ بِظُهُورِهِ- إِنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيداً وَ نَراهُ قَرِيباً وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.
O Allah-azwj! Remove these sorrows from this community by his-ajfj appearance. They are seeing it as being remote [70:6] And We See it as being near [70:7]. May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!’’[99]

CHAPTER 61 – WHAT IS SPECIFIC AS FOLLOW-UP OF OBLIGATORY AL-ZOHR (SALAT)

(The book) ‘Falah Al-Saail’ – From the important follow-up of Salat Al-Zohr, being led my Al-Sadiq-asws in the supplication to Al-Mahdi-ajfj which Muhammad-saww Rasool-Allah-saww had given glad tidings with, to his-saww community in the correct reports and he-saww promised them that he-ajfj shall appear in the end times.
كَمَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ وَهْبَانُ الدنبلي [الدُّبَيْلِيُ] عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ السُّكَّرِيِّ عَنْ عَبَّادِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ:
Like what is reported by Abu Muhammad Wahban Al Dubeyli, from Abu Ali Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Jamhour Al Amma, from his father, from his father Muhammad Bin Hamhour, from Ahmad Al Husayn Al Sukkary, from Abbad Bin Muhammad Al Madainy who said,
دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع بِالْمَدِينَةِ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ مَكْتُوبَةِ الظُّهْرِ وَ قَدْ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ أَيْ سَامِعَ كُلِّ صَوْتٍ أَيْ جَامِعَ كُلِّ فَوْتٍ أَيْ بَارِئَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ أَيْ بَاعِثُ أَيْ وَارِثُ أَيْ سَيِّدَ السَّادَةِ أَيْ إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ أَيْ جَبَّارَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ أَيْ مَلِكَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ أَيْ رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ أَيْ مَلِكَ الْمُلُوكِ أَيْ بَطَّاشُ أَيْ ذَا الْبَطْشِ الشَّدِيدِ أَيْ فَعَّالًا لِمَا يُرِيدُ أَيْ مُحْصِيَ عَدَدِ الْأَنْفَاسِ وَ نَقْلِ الْأَقْدَامِ أَيْ مَنِ السِّرُّ عِنْدَهُ عَلَانِيَةٌ أَيْ مُبْدِئُ أَيْ مُعِيدُ
‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws at Al-Medina when he-asws was free from the Prescribed Al-Zohr (Salat), and he-asws raised his-asws hands towards the sky and he-asws said: ‘O Listener of every voice! O Gatherer of all what is lost! O Organiser of every soul after the death! O Resurrector! O Inheritor! O Chief of the chiefs! O God of gods! O Subduer of the tyrants! O King of the world and the Hereafter! O Lord-azwj of the lords! O King of the kingdoms! O Powerful! O One with the Intense Power! O Doer of whatever He-azwj Wants! O Counter of the number of breaths and steps of the feet! O One-azwj the secrets are open with Him-azwj! O Beginner! O Repeater!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمُ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
I-asws ask You-azwj by Your-azwj right upon Your-azwj Choice from Your-azwj creatures, and by their‑asws rights which You-azwj Obligated for them upon Yourself-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household.
وَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ السَّاعَةَ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَنْجِزْ لِوَلِيِّكَ وَ ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ الدَّاعِي إِلَيْكَ بِإِذْنِكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ فِي خَلْقِكَ وَ عَيْنِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ وَ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ عَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَعْدَهُ
And to Confer upon me-asws right now to Liberate my-asws neck from the Fire, and Fulfil his-saww promise for Your-azwj Guardian-asws, and son-ajfj of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the caller to You-azwj by Your-azwj Permission, and Your-azwj trustee among Your-azwj creatures, and Your-azwj Eye among Your-azwj servants, and Your-azwj Divine Authority upon Your-azwj creatures. May Your‑azwj Salawaat and Your-azwj Blessings be upon him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ وَ انْصُرْ عَبْدَكَ وَ قَوِّ أَصْحَابَهُ وَ صَبِّرْهُمْ وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَاناً نَصِيراً وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ وَ أَمْكِنْهُ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَاءِ رَسُولِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Aid him-ajfj with Your-azwj Help, and Help Your-azwj servant, and Strengthen his-ajfj companions, and Cause them to be patient, and Open for them from Yourself-azwj a persistent helper, and Hasten his-ajfj relief, and Enable him-ajfj from Your-azwj enemies and enemies of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
قَالَ أَ لَيْسَ قَدْ دَعَوْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Aren’t you-asws going to supplicate for yourself-asws? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ قَدْ دَعَوْتُ لَنُورِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ سَابِقِهِمْ وَ الْمُنْتَقِمِ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws have supplicated for Noor of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and their-asws forerunner and the avenger from their-asws enemies by the Command of Allah-azwj’.
قُلْتُ مَتَى يَكُونُ خُرُوجُهُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ
I said, ‘When will his-ajfj emergence take place? May Allah-azwj Make me to be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ إِذَا شَاءَ مَنْ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ
He-asws said: ‘Whenever He-azwj so Desires, the One-azwj having the creation and the Command for Him-azwj!’
قُلْتُ فَلَهُ عَلَامَةٌ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘Is there any sign for it before that?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ عَلَامَاتٌ شَتَّى
He-asws said: ‘Yes, there are various signs’.
قُلْتُ مِثْلُ مَا ذَا
I said, ‘Like what?’
قَالَ خُرُوجُ دَابَّةٍ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَ رَايَةٍ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ فِتْنَةٌ تُظِلُّ أَهْلَ الزَّوْرَا وَ خُرُوجُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ وُلْدِ عَمِّي زَيْدٍ بِالْيَمَنِ وَ انْتِهَابُ سِتَارَةِ الْبَيْتِ وَ يَفْعَلُ اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ.
He-asws said: ‘Emergence of a walker from the east, and a flag from the west, and Fitna covering the people of falsehood, and emergence of a man from the sons of my-asws uncle Zayd at Al-Yemen, and tearing of curtains of the House (Kabah), and Allah-azwj Does whatever He-azwj so Desires!’’[100]
مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ جُنَّةُ الْأَمَانِ، وَ الِاخْتِيَارُ، مِمَّا يَخْتَصُّ عَقِيبَ الظُّهْرِ يَا سَامِعَ كُلِّ صَوْتٍ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ فِي الْجَمِيعِ يَا مَكَانَ أَيْ فِي الْمَوَاضِعِ كُلِّهَا.

‘And from the important supplication as follow-up of the five (daily) obligatory Salats with what was done by (Syeda) Fatima Al-Zahra-asws, Chieftess of women of the worlds had supplicated with. From that is her-asws supplication as a follow-up of Al-Zohr (Salat), and it is: –
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزِّ الشَّامِخِ الْمُنِيفِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ الْبَاذِخِ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ الْفَاخِرِ الْقَدِيمِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ بَلَغْتُ مَا بَلَغْتُ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ بِهِ وَ الْعَمَلِ لَهُ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْهِ وَ الطَّاعَةِ لِأَمْرِهِ
‘Glorious is the One-azwj with the Might, the Lofty, the Sublime! Glorious is the One-azwj with the Majesty, the Splendour, the Mighty! Glorious is the One-azwj with the Kingdom, the pride-worthy, the ancient, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who by His-azwj bounties has reached what it reached, from the knowledge of Him-azwj, and the action for Him-azwj, and the desire to Him‑azwj, and the obedience to His-azwj Command!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي جَاحِداً لِشَيْءٍ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ وَ لَا مُتَحَيِّراً فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانِي لِدِينِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي أَعْبُدُ شَيْئاً غَيْرَهُ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who did not Make me-asws a rejector of anything from His-azwj Book, nor confused regarding anything from His-azwj Command; and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Guided me to His-azwj religion and did not Make me worship anything other than Him‑azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَوْلَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَ عَمَلَهُمْ وَ نَجَاةَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ وَ ثَوَابَهُمْ وَ تَصْدِيقَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ تَوَكُّلَهُمْ وَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْأَمْنَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ خَيْرَ غَائِبٍ أَنْتَظِرُهُ وَ خَيْرَ مُطَّلِعٍ يَطَّلِعُ عَلَيَّ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of word of the penitent and their deeds, and salvation of the fighters and their Rewards, and ratification of the Momineen and their reliance, and the comfort at the death, and the security at the Reckoning, and Make the death as best of the unseen I am waiting for, and best of the emergences emerging to me.
وَ ارْزُقْنِي عِنْدَ حُضُورِ الْمَوْتِ وَ عِنْدَ نُزُولِهِ وَ فِي غَمَرَاتِهِ وَ حِينَ تَنْزِلُ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ التَّرَاقِي وَ حِينَ تَبْلُغُ الْحُلْقُومَ وَ فِي حَالِ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي فِيهَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا نَفْعاً وَ لَا شِدَّةً وَ لَا رَخَاءً
And Grace me at the presence of death, and at it descent, and during its immersion, and when the soul descends from between the ascent, and when it reaches the throat, and in the state of exiting from the world, and that time which I cannot control for myself during it, neither any harm nor benefit, nor adversity nor prosperity!
رَوْحاً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ حَظّاً مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ بُشْرَى مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَوَفَّى نَفْسِي وَ تَقْبِضَ رُوحِي وَ تُسَلِّطَ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ عَلَى إِخْرَاجِ نَفْسِي بِبُشْرَى مِنْكَ
(Grace me-asws) comfort of Your-azwj Mercy, and a share from Your-azwj Satisfaction, and glad tidings from Your-azwj Honours before You-azwj Cause myself to expire, and Capture my soul, and the Angel of death prevails upon extraction of my soul, with glad tidings from You-azwj!
يَا رَبِّ لَيْسَتْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ غَيْرِكَ تُثْلِجُ بِهَا صَدْرِي وَ تَسُرُّ بِهَا نَفْسِي وَ تَقِرُّ بِهَا عَيْنِي وَ يَتَهَلَّلُ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ يَسْفُرُ بِهَا لَوْنِي وَ يَطْمَئِنُّ بِهَا قَلْبِي وَ يَتَبَاشَرُ بِهَا سَائِرُ جَسَدِي يَغْبِطُنِي بِهَا مَنْ حَضَرَنِي مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ مَنْ سَمِعَ بِي مِنْ عِبَادِكَ
O Lord-azwj! There isn’t anyone apart from You-azwj my chest can be cooled with, and my soul can be cheered with, and my eyes can be delighted with, and my face can be radiant with, and my colour can be paled with, and my heart can be reassured with, and it can spread in rest of my body, the ones who presents to me can envy me due to it, and so would one from Your-azwj servants who hears of me.
تُهَوِّنُ بِهَا عَلَيَّ سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ وَ تُفَرِّجُ عَنِّي بِهَا كُرْبَتَهُ وَ تُخَفِّفُ بِهَا عَنِّي شِدَّتَهُ وَ تَكْشِفُ عَنِّي بِهَا سُقْمَهُ وَ تُذْهِبُ عَنِّي بِهَا هَمَّهُ وَ حَسْرَتَهُ وَ تَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا مِنْ أَسَفِهِ وَ فِتَنِهِ وَ تُجِيرُنِي بِهَا مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا يَحْضُرُ أَهْلُهُ وَ تَرْزُقُنِي بِهَا خَيْرَهُ وَ خَيْرَ مَا يَحْضُرُ عِنْدَهُ وَ خَيْرَ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ بَعْدَهُ
Ease upon me the pangs of death by it, and Relieve its distress from me by it, and Lighten its hardship from it by it, and Remove it’s sickness from me by it, and Do away its worries and its regret from me by it, and Protect me with it from its grief and its affliction, and Shelter me by it from its evil and evil of what its people present, and Grace me its good by it, and good of what is present during it, and good of what is to happen after it!
ثُمَّ إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَ نَفْسِي وَ قَبَضْتَ رُوحِي فَاجْعَلْ رُوحِي فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ الرَّائِحَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ نَفْسِي فِي الْأَنْفُسِ الصَّالِحَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ جَسَدِي فِي الْأَجْسَادِ الْمُطَهَّرَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِي فِي الْأَعْمَالِ الْمُتَقَبَّلَةِ
Then, when You-azwj have Expired my self and Captured my soul, Make my soul to be among the aromatic souls, and Make my self to be among the righteous selves, and Make my body among the Purified bodies, and Make my deeds among the Accepted deeds!
ثُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فِي خِطَّتِي مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَوْضِعِ جَنَّتِي حَيْثُ يُرْفَتُ لَحْمِي وَ يُدْفَنُ عَظْمِي وَ أُتْرَكُ وَحِيداً لَا حِيلَةَ لِي قَدْ لَفَظَتْنِي الْبِلَادُ وَ تَخَلَّا مِنِّي الْعِبَادُ وَ افْتَقَرْتُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ وَ احْتَجْتُ إِلَى صَالِحِ عَمَلِي
Then Sustain me in my plot from the earth, and place of my Garden where my flesh disintegrates and my bones are buried, and I am left alone, there being no means for me. The city having rejected me and the servants vacated from me, and I would be poor to Your-azwj Mercy and needy to my righteous deeds.
وَ أَلْقَى مَا مَهَّدْتُ لِنَفْسِي وَ قَدَّمْتُ لِآخِرَتِي وَ عَمِلْتُ فِي أَيَّامِ حَيَاتِي فَوْزاً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ ضِيَاءً مِنْ نُورِكَ وَ تَثْبِيتاً مِنْ كَرَامَتِكَ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِنَّكَ تُضِلُّ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ
And I shall meet what I had paved for myself and sent ahead for my Hereafter and had done in the days of my life, being successful from Your-azwj Mercy, and illumination from Your-azwj Noor, and Affirmed with the firm word from Your-azwj Benevolence in life of the world and the Hereafter. Surely, You-azwj Let the unjust ones to stray and Do whatever You-azwj so Desire to!
ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي الْبَعْثِ وَ الْحِسَابِ إِذَا انْشَقَّتِ الْأَرْضُ عَنِّي وَ تَخَلَّا الْعِبَادُ مِنِّي وَ غَشِيَتْنِي الصَّيْحَةُ وَ أَفْزَعَتْنِي النَّفْخَةُ وَ نَشَرْتَنِي بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ بَعَثْتَنِي لِلْحِسَابِ
Then Bless for me during the Resurrection and the Reckoning when the earth will be rent asunder from me, and the servants will vacate from me, and the scream will overwhelm me, and the blowing (of the trumpet) will panic me, and You-azwj will Publicise me after the death and Send me for the Reckoning.
فَابْعَثْ مَعِي يَا رَبِّ نُوراً مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي تُؤْمِنُنِي بِهِ وَ تَرْبِطُ بِهِ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَ تُظْهِرُ بِهِ عُذْرِي وَ تُبَيِّضُ بِهِ وَجْهِي وَ تُصَدِّقُ بِهِ حَدِيثِي وَ تُفْلِجُ بِهِ حُجَّتِي وَ تُبْلِغُنِي بِهِ الْعُرْوَةَ الْقُصْوَى مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَحُلَّنِي الدَّرَجَةَ الْعُلْيَا مِنْ جَنَّتِكَ
O Lord-azwj! Send with me a light from Your-azwj Mercy striving in front of me, and on my right, securing me with it, and Bind upon my heart with it, and Reveal my excuse with it, and Brighten my face with it, and Ratify my narration with it, and Open up my argument by it, and Cause me to reach the Optimal Handhold from Your-azwj Mercy by it, and Legalise me for the lofty ranks from Your-azwj Paradise!

5- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، رَوَى أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: هَذَا دُعَاءُ سَيِّدِي أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فِي عَقِيبِ صَلَوَاتِهِ أَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – It is reported by Abu Al Mufazzal Al Shaybani, from Al Husayn Bin Sa’dan, from Muhammad Bin Mansour Bin Yazeed, from Suleyman Bin Khalid, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,
‘This is a supplication of my Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws in follow-up of his-asws Salats. He-asws dictated it to me: –
فَأَوَّلُ الصَّلَاةِ الظُّهْرُ وَ بِذَلِكَ سُمِّيَتِ الْأُولَى لِأَنَّهَا أَوَّلُ صَلَاةٍ افْتَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ دُعَاءُ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ يَا أَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا أَبْصَرَ النَّاظِرِينَ وَ يَا أَسْرَعَ الْحَاسِبِينَ وَ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْأَجْوَدِينَ وَ يَا أَكْرَمَ الْأَكْرَمِينَ

Supplication of Al-Zohr (Salat) is, ‘O most Listening of the listeners, and O most Seeing of the beholders, and O Quickest of the reckoners, and O most Generous of the generous ones, and O most Benevolent of the benevolent ones!

(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Hamid, from Al-Hassan Bin Ahmad Bin Al Mugheira Al Sallah, from Abdullah Bin Musa well known as Al Salamy, from Ahmad Bin Shuja’a Al Muwaddib who said, ‘I heard Al Fazl Bin Al Jarrah Al Kufi narrating from his father,
‘From a servant of Al-Sadiq-asws, ‘There used to be supplications he-asws was supplicating with these in follow-up of every obligatory Salat. I said to him-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Teach me this supplication of yours-asws which you-asws have supplicated with!’
فَقَالَ ع إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الظُّهْرَ فَقُلْ بِاللَّهِ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَثِقُ وَ عَلَيْهِ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ عَظُمَتْ ذُنُوبِي فَأَنْتَ أَعْظَمُ وَ إِنْ كَبُرَ تَفْرِيطِي فَأَنْتَ أَكْبَرُ وَ إِنْ دَامَ بُخْلِي فَأَنْتَ أَجْوَدُ
He-asws said: ‘When you have prayed Al-Zohr, say, ‘I hold fast with Allah-azwj and trust with Allah-azwj and I rely upon Him-azwj’, ten times. Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! If my sins are mighty, You‑azwj are Mightier, and if my excesses are great, You-azwj are Greater, and if my miserliness is constant, You-azwj are most Generous!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي عَظِيمَ ذُنُوبِي بِعَظِيمِ عَفْوِكَ وَ كَبِيرَ تَفْرِيطِي بِظَاهِرِ كَرَمِكَ وَ اقْمَعْ بُخْلِي بِفَضْلِ جُودِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Forgive my mighty sins with Your-azwj Mighty Pardon, and my great excesses with Your-azwj apparent Benevolence, and Suppress my miserliness with the Grace of Your-azwj Generosity!
اللَّهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ.
O Allah-azwj! Whatever bounty there is with us, it is from You-azwj. There is no god except You‑azwj! I seek Forgiveness and I repent to You-azwj!’’[108]
8- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ ع إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الزَّوَالِ فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – He-asws said: ‘When you are free from the midday Salat, raise your hands, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I hereby draw closer to You-azwj with Your-azwj Generosity, and Your-azwj Benevolence; and I hereby draw closer to You-azwj through Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww; and I hereby draw closer to You-azwj through Your‑azwj Angels, and Your-azwj Prophets-as, and Your-azwj Rasools-as!

And I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad, and I ask You-azwj to Accept my stumbles, and Conceal my faults, and Forgive my sins, and Fulfil my needs, and do not Punish me for my ugly actions, for Your-azwj Generosity and Your‑azwj Pardon are capacious for me!’
ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ يَا أَهْلَ التَّقْوَى وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ وَ سَيِّدِي وَ رَازِقِي أَنْتَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ بِي إِلَيْكَ فَقْرٌ وَ فَاقَةٌ وَ أَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي
Then fall in Sajdah and say in your Sajdah: ‘O rightful to be feared and the Forgiveness! O most Merciful of the merciful ones! You-azwj are my Master and my Chief, and my Sustainer! You‑azwj are better for me than my father and my mother, and the people altogether. There is poverty and destitution with me to You-azwj, and You-azwj are needless of me!

I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Benevolent Face, and I ask You-azwj to send Salawaat unto Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and upon his-as brothers-as the Prophets-as, and the Purified Imams-asws, and to Answer my supplication, and Mercy my beseeching, and Turn away from me types of afflictions, O Beneficent!’’[109]

And the author of ‘Al-Uddat’ mentioned regarding it having mighty Rewards summarising it, ‘The Prophet-saww asked Jibraeel-as about its Rewards. He-as said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! Even if Angels of the skies and the earths were to gather upon describing one part of a thousand, they would not be able, and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Veil it’s speaker with a thousand veils in the world and the Hereafter and Forgive his sins even if these were like foam of the sea, even the major sins.

And He-azwj will Open for him seventy doors of Mercy until he wades in it a wading, and Give from the Recompense Rewards of every afflicted one, and every safe one, and every needy one, and every harmed one, and poor, and sick, and Honour him honour of the Prophets-as, and Grant his wishes during the Qiyamah.

And He-azwj will Give from the Recompense of the number of the ones Allah-azwj Created in the Paradise and the Fire, and the seven skies and the seven earths, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the drops of rain, and variety of the creatures, and the mountains, and the pebbles, and the soil, and the stars, and the Throne, and the Chait and other than that.

And Allah-azwj will Fill his heart with Eman, and His-azwj Angels will testify for him that He-azwj is liberated from the Fire, and liberate his parents, and his brothers, and his wife, and his children, and his neighbours, and he can intercede regarding a thousand men from the ones the Fire would have been obligated for!
فَعَلِّمْهُ يَا مُحَمَّدُ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ لَا تُعَلِّمْهُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ بِهِ يُسْتَجَابُ الدُّعَاءُ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ وَ بِهِ يَطُوفُونَ حَوْلَهُ.
Therefore, teach it, O Muhammad-saww, to the pious ones, and do not teach it to the hypocrites, and the supplication is Answered by it, and it is a dua of the people of Al-Bayt Al-Mamour, and they are circling around it, with it!’’[112]

2- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَبِي الْخَطَّابِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ سُفْيَانَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ سَبْعَمِائَةِ ذَنْبٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ ذَنْبٌ فَلِأَبِيهِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَبِيهِ فَلِأُمِّهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأُمِّهِ فَلِأَخِيهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأَخِيهِ فَلِأُخْتِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِأُخْتِهِ فَلِلْأَقْرَبِ وَ الْأَقْرَبِ.
(The book) ‘Majalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Bin Abu Al Khattab, from Amro Bin Khalid, from his brother Sufyan,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘On who seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic seventy-seven times after Al-Asr (Salat), Allah-azwj will Forgive for him seven hundred sins that day. If there does not happen to be any sin, then for his father, and if there does not happen to be for his father, then for his mother. If there does not happen to be for his mother, then for his brother. If there does not happen to be for his brother, then for his sister. If there does not happen to be for his sister, then for the nearest of kin’’.[115]
3- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْأَعْمَالِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ
(The book) ‘Al-Mahasin’ – from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman,
‘He asked Abu Abdullah-asws. He said, ‘Inform us about the best of the deeds on the day of Friday’.
فَقَالَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِمُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَ مَا زِدْتَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ.
He-asws said: ‘The Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww one hundred times after Al-Asr (Salat), and whatever is more, it is better’’.[116]
4- السَّرَائِرُ، نَقْلًا مِنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ثَوَابِ عِبَادَةِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.
(The book) ‘Al Saraair’, copying from ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘One who says after Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the successors-asws, the satisfactory, with the best of Your-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them with best of Your-azwj Blessings, and the greetings be upon them-asws, and upon their-asws souls, and their-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Blessings’ – there would be for him similar to Rewards of worship by the two heavyweights (humans and Jinn) during that day’’.[117]
5- جَامِعُ الْأَخْبَارِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ذُنُوبَ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.
(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ –
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who seeks Forgiveness after Al-Asr (Salat) seventy times, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him sins of seventy years’’.[118]
6- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ خَرَجَ مِنْهَا بِالتَّسْلِيمِ كَمَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ فَيُسَبِّحُ تَسْبِيحَ الزَّهْرَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ يُعَقِّبُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِمَا ذَكَرْنَا أَنَّهُ يُعَقِّبُ بِهِ أَوْ يَدْعُو بِهِ عَقِيبَ الْخَمْسِ الْمَفْرُوضَاتِ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘When he is free from Salat Al-Asr, he exits from it with the Salaam just as we have mentioned, he should glorify with Glorification of (Syeda) Al-Zahra-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon it. Then he should follow-up after that with what we have mentioned. He follows up with it or supplicate with it as follow up of the five obligatory (Salats) from these important ones.
وَ أَمَّا مَا نَذْكُرُهُ مِمَّا يَخْتَصُّ بِصَلَاةِ فَرِيضَةِ الْعَصْرِ مِنَ التَّعْقِيبِ وَ الدَّعَوَاتِ فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ يَكُونُ فِي حَالِ اسْتِغْفَارِهِ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ وَ عِنْدَ قَلْبِهِ وَ إِسْرَارِهِ صِفَاتُ الْجُنَاةِ
And as for what we mentioned from what is specific with the obligatory Al-Asr Salat from the follow-up and the supplications. From that is he should seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty seventy times, and in the state of his seeking the Forgiveness he should be upon his face and there should be insistence with his heart.
وَ أَصْحَابِ الذُّنُوبِ إِذَا سَأَلُوا الْمَغْفِرَةَ مِنْ جَلَالَةِ عَلَّامِ الْغُيُوبِ فَإِنَّهُ إِنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَ قَلْبُهُ غَافِلٌ أَوْ عَقْلُهُ ذَاهِلٌ أَوْ مُتَكَاسِلٌ فَإِنَّ اسْتِغْفَارَهُ عَلَى هَذِهِ الصِّفَاتِ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْجِنَايَاتِ وَ يَكُونُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ الَّذِي لَا يَأْمَنُ تَعْجِيلَ النَّقِمَاتِ.
And the perpetrators of sins, when they ask the Forgiveness Majesty of Knower of the unseen, if he is seeking Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty while his heard it heedless, or his intellect is distraught, or he is lazy, then his seeking Forgiveness upon these descriptions is totally from the crimes, and he would be like the mocking one who is not safe from the hastening scourges’’.[119] (Not a Hadeeth)
وَ مِمَّا رُوِيَ فِي الِاسْتِغْفَارِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارُ وَ سَعْدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَكَمِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ الْأَعْمَى عَنْ أَبِي جَرِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ فِي أَثَرِ الْعَصْرِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُ خَمْسِينَ عَاماً فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لِوَالِدَيْهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَلِقَرَابَتِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فَلِجِيرَانِهِ.
And from what is reported regarding seeking the Forgiveness seventy times after Al-Asr Salat, is what is reported by Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, and Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hakam Bin Miskeen Al Amma, from Abu Jareer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj in the tracks of Al-Asr (Salat) seventy times, sins of fifty years will be Forgiven for him. If there do not happen to be (sins), these will be Forgiven for his parents. If there do not happen to be (sins), then for his relatives. If there do not happen to be (sin), then for his neighbour’’.[120]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ره عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ رِجَالِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ سَبْعَمِائَةِ ذَنْبٍ
And from that is what is narrated by Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Masoud Al Ayyashy, from Abdullah Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Al Bakhtari Al Attar, from Abu Dawood Al Mustariq, from one of his men,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj the Exalted after Al-Asr Salat, seventy times, Allah-azwj will Forgive seven hundred sins’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ أَيُّكُمْ يُذْنِبُ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ سَبْعَمِائَةِ ذَنْبٍ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws said: ‘And which one of you sins seven hundred times during the day and night?’’[121]
7- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْعَصْرِ قِرَاءَةُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ قِرَاءَتَهَا فَلْتَكُنْ أَنْتَ عَلَى صِفَاتِ مَنْ هُوَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ سُلْطَانِ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And from the important regarding follow-up of Al-Asr is recitation of (Surah) Al-Qadr during the night of Pre-determination, ten times. When you intend to recite it, let yourself be upon description of the one who is in front of Sultan (Ruler) of the earths and the skies.
يَقْرَأُ كَلَامَهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ فِي حَضْرَتِهِ بِالْهَيْبَةِ وَ الِاحْتِرَامِ وَ الْإِعْظَامِ وَ بِقَصْدِ الْعِبَادَةِ لَهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ لِأَنَّهُ أَهْلٌ لِلْعِبَادَةِ لَا لِأَجْلِ ثَوَابٍ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامِ
He should recite His-azwj Speech, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, in His-azwj Presence with the awe, and the respect, and the reverence, and with aiming the worship to Him-azwj, Majestic is His‑azwj Majesty, because He-azwj is rightful to be worshipped, not for the reason of Rewards in the House of staying (Paradise)’.
فَمِمَّا رُوِيَ فِي قِرَاءَتِهَا مَا ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْيَزْدَآبَادِيُّ- عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ- عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ جَرِيشٍ الرَّازِيِّ- عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ مَرَّتْ لَهُ عَلَى مِثَالِ أَعْمَالِ الْخَلَائِقِ.
From what is reported regarding its recitation is what is mentioned by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Al-Bazdabady, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al-Attar, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al-Hassan Bin Al-Abbas Bin Jareysh Al-Razy, from Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali son of Musa Bin Ja’far-asws, he said, ‘One who recites Surah Al-Qadr during the night of Pre-determination after Al-Asr Salat, ten times, for him would be similar of deeds of the creatures’’. [122]
مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ وَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ فِي بَعْضِ النُّسَخِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ.
(The book) ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and Al Ka’famy and others,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws – similar to it, and there is an increase in its end is ‘On the Day of Qiyamah’, and in one of the copies, ‘In that day’’.[123]
8- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ الِاقْتِدَاءُ بِمَوْلَانَا مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْكَاظِمِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي الدُّعَاءِ لِمَوْلَانَا الْمَهْدِيِّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
And from the important (follow-ups) after Al-Asr Salat is the imitation with our Master Musa‑asws Bin Ja’far Al-Kazim-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws both, in the supplication of our Master-ajfj Al-Mahdi-ajfj, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj.
كَمَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشِيرٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ الْكَاتِبِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْفَضْلِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع بِبَغْدَادَ حِينَ فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَرَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ
Like what is reported by Muhammad Bin Bashir Al Azdy, from Ahmad Bin Umar Al Katib, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Jamhour Al Ammy, from his father Muhammad Bin Jamhour, from Yahya Bin Al Fazl Al Nowfaly who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Al Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws at Baghdad at the time when he-asws was free from his-asws Al-Asr Salat. He-asws raised his-asws hands towards the sky and I heard him‑asws saying: –
أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ وَ الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْبَاطِنُ وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِلَيْكَ زِيَادَةُ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ نُقْصَانُهَا وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَ خَلْقَكَ بِغَيْرِ مَعُونَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ وَ لَا حَاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِمْ
‘You are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! The First, and the Last, and the Apparent, and the Hidden! And You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. You-azwj Increase the things and Reduce them. And You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. You‑azwj Created Your-azwj creation without assistance from others, nor any need to them!
وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مِنْكَ الْمَشِيَّةُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْبَدَاءُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ قَبْلَ الْقَبْلِ وَ خَالِقُ الْقَبْلِ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بَعْدَ الْبَعْدِ وَ خَالِقُ الْبَعْدِ
And You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. The Desire is from You-azwj and the Change of Decision is up to You-azwj! You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, (You‑azwj are) before the ‘before’, and Creator of the ‘before’! You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, (You-azwj are) after the ‘after’, and Creator of the ‘after’!
أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَمْحُو مَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَكَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ غَايَةُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ وَارِثُهُ
You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. You-azwj Delete whatever You-azwj so Desire and Affirm, and in Your-azwj Possession is Mother of the Book! Your-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, Peak of all things and its inheritor!
أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ الدَّقِيقُ وَ لَا الْجَلِيلُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ لَا تَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ اللُّغَاتُ وَ لَا تَتَشَابَهُ عَلَيْكَ الْأَصْوَاتُ
You-azwj are Allah-azwj. There is no god except You-azwj! Neither is the intricate hidden from You‑azwj nor the large! You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. Neither are the languages hidden unto You-azwj nor are the voices confusing upon You-azwj!
كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَنْتَ فِي شَأْنٍ لَا يَشْغَلُكَ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْنٍ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ أَخْفَى دَيَّانُ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ مُدَبِّرُ الْأُمُورِ بَاعِثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ مُحْيِي الْعِظَامِ وَ هِيَ رَمِيمٌ
Every day You-azwj are in a state of Glorious occupation. Neither does an occupation pre-occupy You-azwj from an occupation! Knower of the unseen, and Hidden Judge on the Day of Reckoning, Manager of the affairs, Resurrector of the ones in the graves, Reviver of the bones while these are decomposed!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ الَّذِي لَا يُخَيَّبُ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ بِهِ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَ الْمُنْتَقِمِ لَكَ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَنْجِزْ لَهُ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, the Hidden, the Treasured! The Living, the Eternal Who does not disappoint the one asking Him-azwj. I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Hasten the relief of the Avenger of Your-azwj from Your-azwj enemies, and Fulfil for him-ajfj what You-azwj have Promised him-ajfj, O One-azwj with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ مَنِ الْمَدْعُوُّ لَهُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Who is the one being supplicated for?’
قَالَ ذَاكَ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
He-asws said: ‘That is Al-Mahdi-ajfj from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ بِأَبِي الْمُنْتَدَحُ الْبَطْنَ الْمَقْرُونُ الْحَاجِبَيْنِ أَحْمَشُ السَّاقَيْنِ بَعِيدُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ أَسْمَرُ اللَّوْنِ يَعْتَوِرُهُ مَعَ سُمْرَتِهِ صُفْرَةٌ مِنْ سَهَرِ اللَّيْلِ بِأَبِي مَنْ لَيْلُهُ يَرْعَى النُّجُومَ سَاجِداً وَ رَاكِعاً بِأَبِي مَنْ لَا يَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لَائِمٍ مِصْبَاحُ الدُّجَى بِأَبِي الْقَائِمُ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘By my-asws father-asws! The round of belly, arched eyebrows, broad of the legs, broad shoulders, brown complexion. Paleness is mixed with his-asws brownness from holding vigil at night. By my-asws father-asws! One whom the stars see doing Sajdah and Ruk’u. By my-asws father-asws! One who will not take any blame of a blamer for the Sake of Allah-azwj, lamp of the darkness. By my-asws father-asws! The one standing with the Command of Allah-azwj!’
قُلْتُ وَ مَتَى خُرُوجُهُ
I said, ‘And when will be his-ajfj emergence?’
قَالَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَ الْعَسَاكِرَ بِالْأَنْبَارِ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْفُرَاتِ وَ الصَّرَاةِ وَ دِجْلَةَ وَ هَدْمَ قَنْطَرَةِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ إِحْرَاقَ بَعْضِ بُيُوتَاتِ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتَ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ لَا غَالِبَ لِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا مُعَقِّبَ لِحُكْمِهِ.
He-asws said: ‘When you see the soldiers at Al-Anbar upon the river banks of the Euphrates, and the bridge, and Dajlah (river Tigris), and the archway of Al-Kufa is demolished, and some of the houses of Al-Kufa are burnt down. When you see that, then Allah-azwj will Do whatever He-azwj so Desires. There is no one to overcome the Command of Allah-azwj, nor to overturn His‑azwj Judgment’’.[124]
مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ جُنَّةُ الْأَمَانِ، وَ الِاخْتِيَارُ، وَ غَيْرُهَا كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ- أَنْتَ اللَّهُ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ.

9- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ الْعَمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً- أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – And from the important after Al-Asr Salat is what is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Hammam, from Al Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Jamhour Al Amma, from his father, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Al Sakuni,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says after Al-Asr Salat once during every day, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except Allah-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, the Beneficent, the Merciful, with the Majesty and the Benevolence.
وَ أَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ ذَلِيلٍخَاضِعٍ فَقِيرٍ بِائِسٍ مِسْكِينٍ مُسْتَكِينٍ مُسْتَجِيرٍ لَا يَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِهِ نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا مَوْتاً وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا نُشُوراً أَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى الْمَلَكَيْنِ بِتَخْرِيقِ صَحِيفَتِهِ كَائِنَةً مَا كَانَتْ.
And I ask Him-azwj to Turn to me, and repentant servant, disgrace, humble, poor, wretched, needy, servile, seeking Shelter, neither controlling any benefit nor harm for himself, nor death nor life, nor Resurrection’ – Allah-azwj the Exalted Commands the two Angels to tear up his book (register of deeds), whatever may have happened’’.[126]
10- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ الِاقْتِدَاءُ بِمَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ الْخَمْسِ الصَّلَوَاتِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
And from the important imitations of our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and his-asws Progeny-asws regarding the supplication as follow-up of five (daily) Salats –
فَمِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَقِيبَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
From his-asws supplications as follow-up of Al-Asr Salat: ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither Mighty nor Strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent!
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بِالْعَشِيِّ وَ الْإِبْكارِ- فَسُبْحانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَشِيًّا وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
Glorious be to Allah-azwj in the mornings and the evenings [24:36]! Glory be to Allah-azwj in the evening and the morning [40:55]. Therefore, Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17]. And for Him is the Praise in the skies and the earth, and at sunset and when you come up to midday [30:18]. Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasools [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182].
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزِّ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ سُبْحَانَ الْقَائِمِ الدَّائِمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ سُبْحَانَ الْعَلِيِّ الْأَعْلَى سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ
Glorious is the One-azwj with the Kingdom and Dominion! Glorious is Allah-azwj with the Might and the Subduer! Glorious is the Living Who does not die! Glorious is the Established, the Permanent! Glorious is Allah-azwj the Living, the Eternal! Glorious is the Exalted, the Lofty! Glorious is He-azwj and Exalted! Glorious, Holy, Lord-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ ذَنْبِي أَمْسَى مُسْتَجِيراً بِعَفْوِكَ وَ خَوْفِي أَمْسَى مُسْتَجِيراً بِأَمْنِكَ وَ فَقْرِي أَمْسَى مُسْتَجِيراً بِغِنَاكَ وَ ذُلِّي أَمْسَى مُسْتَجِيراً بِعِزِّكَ
O Allah-azwj! My sins have become seeking Shelter with Your-azwj Pardon, and my fear has become seeking Shelter with Your-azwj security, and my poverty has become seeking Shelter with Your-azwj Richness, and my humility has become seeking Shelter with Your-azwj Honour!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Forgive (my sins) for me and Mercy me, You-azwj are Praised, Glorified!
اللَّهُمَّ تَمَّ نُورُكَ فَهَدَيْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ عَظُمَ حِلْمُكَ فَعَفَوْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَجْهُكَ رَبَّنَا أَكْرَمُ الْوُجُوهِ وَ جَاهُكَ أَعْظَمُ الْجَاهِ وَ عَطِيَّتُكَ أَفْضَلُ الْعَطَاءِ،
O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj Noor is complete so You-azwj Guided. For You-azwj is the Praise and Your‑azwj Forbearance is Mighty, so You-azwj Pardoned! For You-azwj is the Praise! Our Lord-azwj! Your Face is most Honourable of the faces, and Your-azwj Honour is Mightiest of the honours, and Your‑azwj Awards are best of the awards!
تُطَاعُ رَبَّنَا وَ تَشْكُرُ وَ تُعْصَى فَتَغْفِرُ وَ تُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ وَ تَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ وَ تُنَجِّي مِنَ الْكَرْبِ وَ تُغْنِي الْفَقِيرَ وَ تَشْفِي السَّقِيمَ وَ لَا يُجَازِي آلَاءَكَ أَحَدٌ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
Our Lord-azwj! You-azwj are obeyed and You-azwj Thank, and You-azwj are disobeyed and You-azwj Forgive, and You-azwj Answer the desperate, and You-azwj Remove the harm, and You-azwj Rescue from the distress, and You-azwj Enrich the poor, and You-azwj Heal the sick, and no one exceeds Your-azwj Favours, and You-azwj are most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[127]
11- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ الدُّعَاءُ عَقِيبَ الْعَصْرِ بِمَا كَانَتِ الزَّهْرَاءُ فَاطِمَةُ سَيِّدَةُ النِّسَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا تَدْعُو بِهِ فِي جُمْلَةِ دُعَائِهَا لِلْخَمْسِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ هُوَ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And from the important supplications as follow-up of Al-Asr (Salat) with what (Syeda) Al-Zahra Fatima-asws, Chieftess of the women, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon her-asws was supplicating with among total of her-asws supplications for the five (daily) Salats, and it is: –
سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ جَوَارِحَ الْقُلُوبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الذُّنُوبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَجْعَلْنِي كَافِراً لِأَنْعُمِهِ وَ لَا جَاحِداً لِفَضْلِهِ فَالْخَيْرُ فِيهِ وَ هُوَ أَهْلُهُ
‘Glorious is the One-azwj Who Knows beats of the hearts! Glorious is the One-azwj Who Counts number of the sins! Glorious is the One-azwj no one hiding in the earth is hidden from Him-azwj nor in the sky; and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who did not Make me a Kafir (rejector) of His-azwj bounties, nor a rejector of His-azwj Grace, for the goodness is in it and He-azwj is its rightful!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى حُجَّتِهِ الْبَالِغَةِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ خَلَقَ مِمَّنْ أَطَاعَهُ وَ مِمَّنْ عَصَاهُ فَإِنْ رَحِمَ فَمِنْ مَنِّهِ وَ إِنْ عَاقَبَ فَبِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ مَا اللَّهُ بِظَلَّامٍ لِلْعَبِيدِ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon His-azwj extensive Arguments upon entirety of the ones He‑azwj Created, from the ones obeying Him-azwj and from the ones disobeying Him-azwj. If He‑azwj Mercies, it is from His-azwj Conferment, and if He-azwj Punishes, it is due to what their hands had sent ahead, and Allah-azwj is not least unjust to the servants!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْمَكَانِ وَ الرَّفِيعِ الْبُنْيَانِ الشَّدِيدِ الْأَرْكَانِ الْعَزِيزِ السُّلْطَانِ الْعَظِيمِ الشَّأْنِ الْوَاضِحِ الْبُرْهَانِ الرَّحِيمِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْمُنْعِمِ الْمَنَّانِ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj of the Exalted Position, and the Lofty Construction, the Strong of the Pillars, the Mighty of the Authority, and Magnificent of the Glory, the Clear of the proofs, the Merciful, the Beneficent, the Favourer, the Bestower!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي احْتَجَبَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَخْلُوقٍ يَرَاهُ بِحَقِيقَةِ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَ قُدْرَةِ الْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ فَلَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ الْأَبْصَارُ وَ لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ الْأَخْبَارُ وَ لَمْ يُعَيِّنْهُ مِقْدَارٌ وَ لَمْ يَتَوَهَّمْهُ اعْتِبَارٌ لِأَنَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْجَبَّارُ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is Veiled from every creature. He-azwj can be seen from the realities of Lordship, and the Power of Oneness. The sights do not realise Him-azwj, and the news do not encompass with Him-azwj, and measurement cannot define Him-azwj, and consideration cannot imagine Him-azwj because He-azwj is the King, the Subduer!
اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ تَرَى مَكَانِي وَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَ تَطَّلِعُ عَلَى أَمْرِي وَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَ لَيْسَ يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي وَ قَدْ سَعَيْتُ إِلَيْكَ فِي طَلِبَتِي وَ طَلَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ فِي حَاجَتِي وَ تَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَيْكَ فِي مَسْأَلَتِي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj See my-asws place, and Hear my speech, and Notice my affairs, and Know what is within myself, and nothing from my affairs is hidden unto You-azwj, and I have strived to You-azwj in my seeking, and sought to You-azwj regarding my needs, and beseeched to You‑azwj regarding my requests.
وَ سَأَلْتُكَ لِفَقْرٍ وَ حَاجَةٍ وَ ذِلَّةٍ وَ ضِيقَةٍ وَ بُؤْسٍ وَ مَسْكَنَةٍ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الْجَوَادُ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ تَجِدُ مَنْ تُعَذِّبُ غَيْرِي وَ لَا أَجِدُ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ لِي غَيْرَكَ وَ أَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي وَ أَنَا فَقِيرٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ
And I ask You-azwj due to poverty, and need, and humiliation, and constriction, and wretchedness, and destitution, and You-azwj are the Lord-azwj Generous with the Forgiveness. You-azwj can find others to Punish and I cannot find one who can Forgive (my sins) for me, and You-azwj are needless from Punishing me, and I am poor to Your-azwj Mercy!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِفَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ غِنَاكَ عَنِّي وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ قِلَّةِ امْتِنَاعِي مِنْكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعَائِي هَذَا دُعَاءً وَافَقَ مِنْكَ إِجَابَةً وَ مَجْلِسِي هَذَا مَجْلِساً وَافَقَ مِنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَ طَلِبَتِي هَذِهِ طَلِبَةً وَافَقَتْ نَجَاحاً
I ask You-azwj with my poverty to You-azwj and Your-azwj needlessness from me, and by Your-azwj Power upon me and scarcity of my defence from You-azwj, to Make this supplication of mine as compatible from You-azwj for Answering, and this sitting of mine a sitting compatible from You-azwj for Mercy, and this seeking of mine a seeking compatible for success.
وَ مَا خِفْتُ عُسْرَتَهُ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ فَيَسِّرْهُ وَ مَا خِفْتُ عَجْزَهُ مِنَ الْأَشْيَاءِ فَوَسِّعْهُ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ مِنَ الْخَلَائِقِ كُلِّهِمْ فَاغْلِبْهُ آمِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ هَوِّنْ عَلَيَّ مَا خَشِيتُ شِدَّتَهُ وَ اكْشِفْ عَنِّي مَا خَشِيتُ كُرْبَتَهُ وَ يَسِّرْ لِي مَا خَشِيتُ عُسْرَتَهُ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And whatever from the matters I fear its difficulty, Ease it, and whatever from the things I fear its frustration, Expand it, and the ones from the people who intends me with evil, all of them, Overcome him. Ameen, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Ease upon me whatever I fear its hardship, and Remove from what I fears its distress, and Ease for me whatever I fear its difficulty. Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ انْزِعِ الْعُجْبَ وَ الرِّيَاءَ وَ الْكِبْرَ وَ الْبَغْيَ وَ الْحَسَدَ وَ الضَّعْفَ وَ الشَّكَّ وَ الْوَهْنَ وَ الضُّرَّ وَ الْأَسْقَامَ وَ الْخِذْلَانَ وَ الْمَكْرَ وَ الْخَدِيعَةَ وَ الْبَلِيَّةَ وَ الْفَسَادَ مِنْ سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ جَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِي وَ خُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِي إِلَى مَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Remove the self-fascination, and the showing off, and the arrogance, and the rebellion, and the envy, and the weakness, and the doubt, and the frailty, and the harm, and the sickness, and the abandonment, and the plots, and the deception, and the affliction, and the corruption from my hearing, and my sight, and entirety of my limbs, and Take me by the forelocks to what You-azwj Love and are Satisfied with, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ ذَنْبِي وَ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَتِي وَ آمِنْ رَوْعَتِي وَ اجْبُرْ مُصِيبَتِي وَ أَغْنِ فَقْرِي وَ يَسِّرْ حَاجَتِي وَ أَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ اجْمَعْ شَمْلِي وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ مَا غَابَ عَنِّي وَ مَا حَضَرَنِي وَ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُهُ مِنْكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive my sins, and Cover my faults, and Secure my dread, and Prevent my calamities, and Enrich my poverty, and Ease my needs, and Pick me up from my stumbles, and Gather my family, and Suffice me for what worries me and what is absent from me and what is present from me, and whatever I am fearing from, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي إِلَيْكَ بِمَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَيْهَا فَرَقاً مِنْكَ وَ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً وَ أَنْتَ الْكَرِيمُ الَّذِي لَا يَقْطَعُ الرَّجَاءَ وَ لَا يُخَيِّبُ الدُّعَاءَ
O Allah-azwj! I have placed my affairs to You-azwj, and supported my back to You-azwj, and submitted myself to You-azwj what I have wronged upon, hoping from You-azwj, and fearing, and longing, and You-azwj are the Benevolent Who does not Cut off the hopes nor Disappoints the supplicating one!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِكَ وَ مُوسَى كَلِيمِكَ وَ عِيسَى رُوحِكَ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص صَفِيِّكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ أَلَّا تَصْرِفَ وَجْهَكَ الْكَرِيمَ عَنِّي حَتَّى تَقْبَلَ تَوْبَتِي وَ تَرْحَمَ عَبْرَتِي وَ تَغْفِرَ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ يَا أَحْكَمَ الْحَاكِمِينَ
I ask You-azwj by the right of Your-azwj friend Ibrahim-as, and Your-azwj Converser Musa-as, and Your-azwj Spirit Isa-as, and Muhammad-saww Your-azwj Elite and Prophet-saww! Do not Turn Your‑azwj Benevolent Face away from me until You-azwj Accept my repentance, and Mercy my tears, and Forgive my sins for me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and O most Judicial of the judges!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ ثَارِي عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنِي وَ انْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانِي
O Allah-azwj! Make my Retribution to be upon the ones oppressing me, and Help me against the ones being inimical to me!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتِي فِي دِينِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هِمَّتِي وَ لَا مَبْلَغَ عِلْمِي إِلَهِي أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَعَادِي وَ اجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْكُلِّ شَرٍّ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make my difficulties to be in my religion, nor Make the world to be greatest of my worries nor extent of my knowledge! My God-azwj! Correct for me my religion which it is a protection of my affairs, and Correct for me my world in which is my livelihood, and Correct for me my Hereafter which my abode is to it, and Make the life as increase for me of every good, and Make the death as a comfort for me from every evil!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Pardoning, You-azwj Love the pardoning, therefore Pardon me!
اللَّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي مَا عَلِمْتَ الْحَيَاةَ خَيْراً لِي وَ تَوَفَّنِي إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْراً لِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَشْيَتَكَ فِي الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ وَ الْعَدْلَ فِي الْغَضَبِ وَ الرِّضَا وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْقَصْدَ فِي الْفَقْرِ وَ الْغِنَى وَ أَسْأَلُكَ نَعِيماً لَا يَبِيدُ وَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الرِّضَا بَعْدَ الْقَضَاءِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ لَذَّةَ النَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Cause me to live for as long as You-azwj Know the life is better for me, and Cause me to die when the death is better for me; and I ask You-azwj of being fearful of You-azwj in the private and the public, and the justice during the anger and the satisfaction; and I ask You-azwj of the moderation during the poverty and the riches; and I ask You-azwj for bliss not to end, and delight of the eyes not to terminate; and I ask you-azwj of the satisfaction after the Decree; and I ask You-azwj of the pleasure of the looking at Your-azwj Face!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَهْدِيكَ لِإِرْشَادِ أَمْرِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Guidance to Guide my affairs, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of my own self!
اللَّهُمَّ عَمِلْتُ سُوءً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah-azwj! I have done evil and have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive for me. Surely no on Forgives the sins except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ تَعْجِيلَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ صَبْراً عَلَى بَلِيَّتِكَ وَ خُرُوجاً مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Hasten Your-azwj Granting well-being, and patience upon Your-azwj Afflictions, and exit from the world to Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَ أُشْهِدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness, and keep Your-azwj Angels as witnesses, and bearers of Your-azwj Throne, and I keep as witnesses the ones in the skies and the ones in the earth! Surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww!

‘One who says every day after the morning Salat and Salat Al-Asr, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj. For Him-azwj and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He‑azwj Causes to live and Causes to die, and He-azwj Causes to dies and live, and He-azwj is Living and does not die. The goodness is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things’ – one hundred times, and ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise’ – one hundred times, will not be Written as being from the heedless ones, and his sins will be Deleted, and even if these were like foam of the sea’’.[131]
14- كِتَابُ الصِّفِّينَ، لِنَصْرِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا خَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ع مِنْ كُوفَةَ إِلَى صِفِّينَ وَ أَتَى دَيْرَ أَبِي مُوسَى صَلَّى بِهَا الْعَصْرَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ وَ النِّعَمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْقُدْرَةِ وَ الْإِفْضَالِ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الرِّضَا بِقَضَائِهِ وَ الْعَمَلَ بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَى أَمْرِهِ فَإِنَّهُ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Siffeen’ of Nasr in Muzahim who said,
‘When Ali-asws went out from Kufa to Siffeen and came to a Monastery of Abu Musa, he-asws prayed Salat Al-Asr at it. When he-asws finished, he-asws said: ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj with the Leniency and the bounties! Glorious is He-azwj with the Power and the Grace! I ask Allah-azwj for being satisfied with His-azwj Decree, and acting in His-azwj obedience and the submission to His-azwj Command, for He-azwj Hears the supplication!’’[132]
15- مِصْبَاحَا الْمُتَهَجِّدِ، وَ الْكَفْعَمِيِ، وَ غَيْرُهَا فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْعَصْرِ تَقُولُ- تَمَّ نُورُكَ فَهَدَيْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ عَظُمَ حِلْمُكَ فَغَفَرْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ بَسَطْتَ يَدَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَجْهُكَ أَكْرَمُ الْوُجُوهِ وَ جَاهُكَ خَيْرُ الْجَاهِ وَ عَطِيَّتُكَ أَعْظَمُ الْعَطَايَا وَ أَهْنَؤُهَا
(The book) ‘Misbah Al Mutahajjid’, and Al Kaf’amy and others,
‘Regarding follow up of Al-Asr (Salat), you should say, ‘You-azwj Completed Your-azwj Noor so Your-azwj Guided. For You-azwj is the Praise and Your-azwj Forbearance is Mighty so You-azwj Forgave! For You-azwj is the Praise, and You-azwj Extended Your-azwj Hand and Gave! For You-azwj is the Praise! Your-azwj Face is most honourable of the faces, and Your-azwj Honour is most honourable of the honours, and You-azwj Awards are mightiest of the awards and their most pleasant!
يُطَاعُ رَبُّنَا فَيَشْكُرُ وَ يُعْصَى فَيَغْفِرُ وَ يُجِيبُ الْمُضْطَرَّ وَ يَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ وَ يُنْجِي مِنَ الْكَرْبِ وَ يَغْفِرُ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ وَ يُغْنِي الْفَقِيرَ وَ يَشْكُرُ اليسر [الْيَسِيرَ] لَا يُجَازِي بِآلَائِكَ أَحَدٌ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ قَوْلُ قَائِلٍ
Our Lord-azwj is obeyed so He-azwj Thanks, and he is disobeyed so He-azwj Forgives, and He-azwj Answers the desperate, and he-azwj Uncovers the harm, and He-azwj Rescues from the distress, and Forgives from the sin, and Enriches the poor, and He-azwj Thanks for the little. No one exceeds Your-azwj Favours, nor can words of a speak reach Your-azwj Praise!’
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً اللَّهُمَّ مُدَّ لِي أَيْسَرَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي زُمْرَةِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي الْعَاجِلَةِ وَ الْآجِلَةِ وَ بَلِّغْ بِيَ الْغَايَةَ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي الْعَاهَاتِ وَ الْآفَاتِ وَ اقْضِ لِي بِالْحُسْنَى فِي أُمُورِي كُلِّهَا وَ اعْزِمْ لِي بِالرَّشَادِ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي أَبَداً يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
And he should say as well, ‘O Allah-azwj! Extend to me the easy well-being and Make me among the group of the Prophet-saww in the current and the future, Cause me to reach the peak, and Turn the infirmities and the calamities away from me, and Decree for me the goodness in my affairs, all of them, and Forgive for me with the Guidance, and do not Allocate me to myself, ever, O One-azwj with the Majesty and the Benevolence!
اللَّهُمَّ مُدَّ لِي فِي السَّعَةِ وَ الدَّعَةِ وَ جَنِّبْنِي مَا حَرَّمْتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَ وَجِّهْ لِي بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ السَّلَامَةِ وَ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِيَ الْأَعْدَاءَ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي الْكُرُوبَ وَ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَتَكَ وَ أَصْلِحْ لِيَ الْحَرْثَ فِي الْإِصْلَاحِ لِأَمْرِ آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ
O Allah-azwj! Extend for me in the capaciousness and the difficulties, and Keep me aside from what You-azwj have Prohibited unto me, and Turn to me with the well-being and the safety and the Blessings! Do not let the enemies gloat with me and Relieve the distresses from me, and Complete upon me Your-azwj bounties, and Correct for me the farm in the correction of matters of my Hereafter and my world!
وَ اجْعَلْنِي سَالِماً مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ مُعَافًى مِنَ الضَّرُورَةِ فِي مُنْتَهَى الشُّكْرِ وَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ
And Make me safe from every evil, free from the necessity, being in the ultimate appreciation and the well-being, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, His-azwj Prophet‑as and his-saww Progeny-asws, and greetings!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُرْفَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ
Then you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You from a soul not being satisfied, and from a heart not being fearful, and from knowledge not benefitting, and from Salat not being raised, and from a supplication not being Heard!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْيُسْرَ بَعْدَ الْعُسْرِ وَ الْفَرَجَ بَعْدَ الْكَرْبِ وَ الرَّخَاءَ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the ease after the difficulty, and the relief after the distress, and the prosperity after the hardship!
اللَّهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ.
O Allah-azwj! Whatever is with us for any bounties, it is from You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj. I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and repent to You-azwj!’’[133]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says after the morning salat before he speaks, بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! There is neither any might nor strength except Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, repeating it seven times, Allah-azwj will Dispel seventy types of afflictions away from him, and the one who says it when he has prayed Al-Maghrib Salat before he speaks, Allah-azwj will Dispel seventy types of afflictions away from him, the least of these being the leprosy and the vitiligo’’.[134]
2- مَجَالِسُ ابْنِ الشَّيْخِ، وَ مَجَالِسُ الْمُفِيدِ، عَنِ الْمُفِيدِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ كَثِيراً مَا أَشْتَكِي عَيْنِي فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ دُعَاءً لِدُنْيَاكَ وَ آخِرَتِكَ وَ تُكْفَى بِهِ وَجَعَ عَيْنِكَ

‘I used to frequently have eye ailment. I complained of that to Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws teach you a supplication for your world and your Hereafter, and you can suffice with it for pain of you eye?’
فَقُلْتُ بَلَى
‘I said, ‘Yes’.
فَقَالَ تَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ وَ دُبُرِ الْمَغْرِبِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ السَّلَامَةَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ السَّعَةَ فِي رِزْقِي وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي.
He-asws said: ‘You should say after Al Fajr (Salat) and in the end of Al-Maghrib (Salat), ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! Upon You-azwj is to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Make Noor to be in my sight, and the insight in my religion, and the certainty in my heart, and the sincerity in my actions, and the safety regarding myself, and the vastness in my sustenance, and the thanking to You-azwj for ever, for as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain (alive)’’.[135]
3- ثَوَابُ الْأَعْمَالِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُغِيرَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ أَوْ يُكَلِّمَ أَحَداً- إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ قَضَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِائَةَ حَاجَةٍ سَبْعِينَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ ثَلَاثِينَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ
(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Abu Al Mugheira who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan-asws saying: ‘One who says after the morning Salat and Al-Maghrib Salat, before he folds his legs or speaks to anyone, ‘Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawaat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawaat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]. O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww offspring, Allah-azwj will Fulfil one hundred needs – seventy in the world and thirty in the Hereafter’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ مَا مَعْنَى صَلَاةِ اللَّهِ وَ صَلَاةِ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘What is the meaning of Salawaat of Allah-azwj, and Salawaat of His-azwj Angels, and Salawaat of the Momineen?’
قَالَ صَلَاةُ اللَّهِ رَحْمَةٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ صَلَاةُ مَلَائِكَتِهِ تَزْكِيَةٌ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ وَ صَلَاةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دُعَاءٌ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘Salawaat of Allah-azwj is Mercy from Allah-azwj, and Salawaat of His-azwj Angels their seeking purification for him, and Salawaat of the Momineen is a supplication of theirs for him.
وَ مِنْ سِرِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْآخِرِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الْمُرْسَلِينَ
And from secrets of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww regarding the Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws – ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the former ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the latter ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the exalted Assembly, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the Messengers-as!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّداً الْوَسِيلَةَ وَ الشَّرَفَ وَ الْفَضِيلَةَ وَ الدَّرَجَةَ الْكَبِيرَةَ
O Allah-azwj! Give Muhammad-saww the means, and the nobility, and the merit, and the great rank!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي آمَنْتُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ رُؤْيَتَهُ وَ ارْزُقْنِي صُحْبَتَهُ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ وَ اسْقِنِي مِنْ حَوْضِهِ مَشْرَباً رَوِيّاً سَائِغاً هَنِيئاً لَا أَظْمَأُ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! I believe in Muhammad-saww and (although) I have not seen him-saww, therefore do not Deprive me of sighting him-saww on the Day of Qiyamah, and Grace me his-saww accompaniment, and Cause me to die upon his-saww Nation (religion), and Quench me from his-saww Fountain a saturating drink, palatable, welcoming, I will not be thirsty after it, ever, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا آمَنْتُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَعَرِّفْنِي فِي الْجِنَانِ وَجْهَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Just as I have believed in Muhammad-saww and (although) I have not seen him‑saww, Introduce his-saww face to me in the Gardens!
اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ رُوحَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص عَنِّي تَحِيَّةً كَثِيرَةً وَ سَلَاماً
O Allah-azwj! Deliver a lot of salutations and greetings on my behalf to the soul of Muhammad‑saww!’
فَإِنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ هُدِمَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ مُحِيَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَ دَامَ سُرُورُهُ وَ اسْتُجِيبَ دُعَاؤُهُ وَ أُعْطِيَ أَمَلَهُ وَ بُسِطَ لَهُ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَ أُعِينَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَ هِيَ لَهُ سَبَبُ أَنْوَاعِ الْخَيْرِ وَ يُجْعَلُ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ نَبِيِّهِ فِي الْجِنَانِ الْأَعْلَى يَقُولُهُنَّ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ غُدْوَةً وَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ عَشِيَّةً.
The one who sends Salawaat unto the Prophet-saww with these Salawaat(s), his sins will be demolished, and his (minor) sins will be Deleted, and his happiness will be constant, and his supplications will be Answered, and he will be Granted his wishes, and there will be extension for him in his sustenance, and he will be Assisted against his enemies, and till be for him a cause of seven types of goodness, and he will be Made to be from friends of the Prophet-saww in the Lofty Gardens, saying it three times in the morning, and three times in the evening!’’[136]
4- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يُطِيلُ الْقُعُودَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْيَقِينَ.
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from his father raising it, said,
‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws used to prolong the sitting after Al-Maghrib, asking Allah-azwj for the certainty!’’[137]
5- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، إِذَا سَلَّمَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ فَرَغَ مِمَّا مَرَّ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِ الزَّهْرَاءِ ع وَ غَيْرِهِ فَلْيَقُلْ مَا رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ابْنَيْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِمَا قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ وَ أَصْبَحْتَ فَقُلْ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَرِيضَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ- أَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘When he performs Salaam from Al-Maghrib Salat, and he is free from what has passed from the Glorification of (Syeda) Zahra-asws and other such, let him say what is reported from Is’haq from Ismail two sons of Muhammad Bin Ajlan, from their father who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When you come to a morning and evening, say after the obligatory, in Al-Maghrib Salat and Al-Fajr Salat, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Pelted Satan-la’ – ten times.
ثُمَّ قُلْ اكْتُبَا رَحِمَكُمَا اللَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمْسَيْتُ وَ أَصْبَحْتُ بِاللَّهِ مُؤْمِناً عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ سُنَّتِهَا وَ عَلَى دِينِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ سُنَّتِهِمْ وَ آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ بِغَيْبِهِمْ وَ شَهَادَتِهِمْ
Then say, ‘Write (both of you recording Angels), may Allah-azwj have Mercy on you! In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! I have come to evening and morning as a believer in Allah-azwj, upon the religion of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Sunnah, and upon religion of Ali-asws and his-asws Sunnah, and upon religion of (Syeda) Fatima-asws and her-asws Sunnah, and upon religion of the successors-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them‑asws and their-asws Sunnah, and I believe in their-asws secrets and their-asws announcements, and in their-asws absence and their-asws presence!

And I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj during this night of mine and this day of mine from what Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and the successors-asws had sought Refuge from, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon them-asws, and I am desirous to Allah-azwj regarding what they-asws had been desirous, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’’[138]
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو غَالِبٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الزُّرَارِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَهُ أَوْ يُكَلِّمَ أَحَداً- إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً قَضَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ مِائَةَ حَاجَةٍ سَبْعِينَ مِنْهَا لِلْآخِرَةِ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ لِلدُّنْيَا.
Then he should say what is reported by Abu Ghalib Ahmad Bin Suleyman Al Zurary, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al Himeyri, from Ibrahim Bin Mahziyar, from his brother Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says after Al-Fajr Salat and after Al-Maghrib Salat before he folds his legs or speaks to anyone, ‘Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawaat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawaat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]. O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww the Prophet-saww, and upon his-saww offspring, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household’ – once, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Fulfil one hundred needs for him, seventy from these for the Hereafter, and thirty for the world’’.[139]
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ أَبَانٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ يَعْنِي الرِّضَا ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ قَالَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ هُوَ ثَانٍ رِجْلَهُ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ وَ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَدْنَاهَا الْجُذَامُ وَ الْبَرَصُ وَ السُّلْطَانُ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ.
And he should say as well what is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Al-Husayn Bin Al-Hassan Bin Aban, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Ismail Bin Hammam,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws, meaning Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who says, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ – seven time while he is folding his legs after Al-Maghrib (Salat), before he talks, and after the morning (Salat) before he talks, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Turn away from him seventy types from the types of afflictions, least of these being the leprosy, and the vitiligo, and the ruler, and the Satan-la’’.[140]
وَ مِمَّا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِي كِتَابِ الدُّعَاءِ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْكَافِي عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ فَقَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْقُضَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And from what we are reporting by our chain to Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, by his chain in ‘Kitab Al Dua’ from the book ‘Al Kafi’,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays the morning (Salat), so he says before he relies upon his knees, ten times, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there being no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj Causes to die and live, and He-azwj Living, He-azwj will not be dying. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
وَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ مِثْلَهَا لَمْ يَلْقَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَبْدٌ بِعَمَلٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ جَاءَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِهِ.
And in Al-Maghrib, similar to it, no servant will meet Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with deeds superior than his deeds, except one who comes with similar to his deeds’’.[141]
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ- سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً إِلَّا أَنْتَ
And he should say as well after Al-Maghrib Salat and after Al Fajr Salat, ‘Glory be to You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! Forgive my sins for me, all of them together, for surely no one forgives the sins, all of them, except You-azwj!’
فَقَدْ رَوَى الْحَسَنُ بْنُ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ- عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ يَرْفَعُهُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فِي حَدِيثٍ هَذَا الْمُرَادُ مِنْهُ أَنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ لِلْكَتَبَةِ اكْتُبُوا لِعَبْدِيَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً إِلَّا أَنَا.
It is reported by Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Ayoub, from Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far-asws raising it to the Prophet-saww in a Hadeeth, this is the intent from it – ‘When he says that, Allah-azwj, Mighty and Majestic Said to the Recorders: ‘Write the Forgiveness being for My-azwj servant with his recognition that no one forgives the sins, all of them together, except Me-azwj!’’[142]
أقول وَ ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ وَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ وَ ابْنُ الْبَاقِي وَ غَيْرُهُمْ أَكْثَرَ الْأَدْعِيَةِ الْمُتَقَدِّمَةِ وَ زَادُوا عَلَيْهَا
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And it is mentioned by the Sheykh, and Al-Kaf’amy, and Ibn Al-Baqi and others, most of the previous supplication, and they increased upon it –
ثُمَّ قُلْ عَشْراً مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ
‘Then say ten times, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj Desires! There is no strength except with Allah-azwj. I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj!’
وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مُوجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ السَّلَامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ إِثْمٍ وَ الْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِ بِرٍّ وَ النَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ الرِّضْوَانَ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَ جِوَارَ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
And he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj of Your-azwj obligatory Mercy, and Your-azwj Determined Forgiveness, and the safety from every sin, and the gaining from every righteousness, and the salvation from the Fire, and from every affliction, and the winning with the Paradise, and the Satisfaction in the House of safety in the neighbourhood of Your-azwj Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ.
O Allah-azwj! Whatever bounties are with us, these are from You-azwj. There is no god except You-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and I repent to You-azwj!’’[143]
وَ يُؤَيِّدُ التَّأْخِيرَ مَا رَوَاهُ الْمُفِيدُ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ فِي إِرْشَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ع أَنَّهُ لَمَّا تَزَوَّجَ بِنْتَ الْمَأْمُونِ وَ حَمَلَهَا قَاصِداً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ سَارَ إِلَى شَارِعِ بَابِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ النَّاسُ مَعَهُ يُشَيِّعُونَهُ
And the last one is supported by what is reported by Al-Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, in his (book) ‘Irshad’, from Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd: ‘When he-asws married a daughter of Al-Mamoun and carried her aiming to Al-Medina, he-asws travelled to a street at the gate of Al-Kufa, and the people were with him-asws, escorting him-asws.
فَانْتَهَى إِلَى دَارِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عِنْدَ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ فَنَزَلَ وَ دَخَلَ الْمَسْجِدَ وَ كَانَ فِي صَحْنِهِ نَبْقَةٌ لَمْ تَحْمِلْ بَعْدُ فَدَعَا بِكُوزٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ فَتَوَضَّأَ فِي أَصْلِ النَّبْقَةِ وَ قَامَ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ
He-asws ended to the house of Musayyib at the setting of the sun. He-asws descended and entered the Masjid, and there was a berry tree in its courtyard not having borne fruit yet. He‑asws called for a pitcher wherein was water. He-asws performed Wud’u in the base of the berry tree, and he-asws stood and prayed Al-Maghrib Salat with the people.
فَقَرَأَ فِي الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ وَ قَرَأَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ قَنَتَ قَبْلَ رُكُوعِهِ وَ صَلَّى الثَّالِثَةَ وَ تَشَهَّدَ وَ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ هُنَيْئَةً يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ
He-asws recited in the first (Cycle) Surah Al-Hamd, and Surah Al-Fat’h, and he-asws recited in the second (Cycle), (Surah) Al-Hamd, and (Surah) Al-Tawheed, and he-asws performed Qunout before his-asws Ruk’u, and he-asws prayed the third (Cycle), and performed Tashahhud, and Salaam, then was seated for a while doing Zikr of Allah-azwj.
وَ قَامَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يُعَقِّبَ فَصَلَّى النَّوَافِلَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ عَقَّبَ بَعْدَهُ وَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ الشُّكْرِ
And he-asws stood from without any follow-up (acts of worship), and he-asws prayed the optional (Salat) of four Cycles, and followed-up after it, and he-asws performed two Sajdah(s) of thanks.
فَلَمَّا انْتَهَى النَّاسُ إِلَى النَّبْقَةِ رَأَوْهَا وَ قَدْ حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا جَنِيّاً فَتَعَجَّبُوا وَ أَكَلُوا مِنْهَا فَوَجَدُوهُ نَبْقاً حُلْواً لَا عَجَمَ لَهُ فَوَدَّعُوهُ وَ مَضَى.
When the people ended to the berry tree, they saw it and it had borne fresh fruit. They were surprised and they ate from it. They found its fruits as sweet, there being no seed for it. They bade him-asws farewell and left’’.[144]
وَ سَيَأْتِي أَيْضاً فِي خَبَرِ رَجَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي الضَّحَّاكِ أَنَّ الرِّضَا ع كَانَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ عَنِ الْمَغْرِبِ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ يُسَبِّحُ اللَّهَ وَ يُحَمِّدُهُ وَ يُكَبِّرُهُ وَ يُهَلِّلُهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ
And I (Majlisi) shall be coming with as well in a Hadeeth by Raja’a Bin Abu Al Zahhak,
‘It was so, whenever Al-Reza-asws performed Salaam of Al-Maghrib (Salat), he-asws sat in his prayer mat glorifying Allah-azwj, and praising Him-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Greatness and His‑azwj Oneness, for as long as Allah-azwj so Desired.
ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى يَقُومَ فَيُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ فِي التَّعْقِيبِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ.
Then he-asws performed a Sajdah of thanks, then raised his-asws head and did not speak until he-asws had arisen. He-asws prayed Salat of four Cycles, then was seated after having performed salat for the follow-up (acts of worship), for as long as Allah-azwj so Desired!’’[145]
وَ رَوَى الشَّيْخُ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْخَفَّافِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثُمَّ عَقَّبَ وَ لَمْ يَتَكَلَّمْ حَتَّى يُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كُتِبَتَا لَهُ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ فَإِنْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعاً كُتِبَتْ لَهُ حَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ.
And it is reported by the Sheykh, from Abu Al A’ala Al Khaffaf,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘One who prays Al-Maghrib Salat, then does follow-up (acts of worship) and does not speak until he prays four Cycles Salat, they (recording Angels) write for him being in Illiyeen. If he prays four (Cycles), an accomplished (Accepted) Hajj is written for him’’.[146]
6- الْكَافِي، بِسَنَدِهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَلَا تَبْسُطْ رِجْلَكَ وَ لَمْ تُكَلِّمْ أَحَداً حَتَّى تَقُولَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فِي الْغَدَاةِ
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his chain, from Sa’ad Bin Zayd who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘When you have prayed Al-Maghrib Salat, do not spread your legs and do not talk to anyone until you say one hundred times, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, and ‘There is no might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, one hundred times, in the evening and one hundred times in the morning.
فَمَنْ قَالَهَا رَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِائَةَ نَوْعٍ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَدْنَى نَوْعٍ مِنْهَا الْبَرَصُ وَ الْجُذَامُ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ السُّلْطَانُ.
The one who says it, Allah-azwj will Raise away from him one hundred types from the types of afflictions, least type of these being the vitiligo, and the leprosy, and the Satan-la, and the ruler’’.[147]
7- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ وَ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِ فَرِيضَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَا مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ الْخَمْسِ الْمَفْرُوضَاتِ فَمِنْهَا بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And from follow-up of obligatory Al-Maghrib Salat what is specific with it, is what is reported from our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws from the supplication, as follow-up of the five (daily) obligatory Salats. From these, after Al-Maghrib Salat: –
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي مَا كَانَ صَالِحاً وَ أَصْلِحْ مِنِّي مَا كَانَ فَاسِداً
‘O Allah-azwj! Accept from me whatever was correct, and Correct from me whatever was spoilt!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُسَلِّطْنِي عَلَي فَسَادِ مَا أَصْلَحْتَ مِنِّي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي مَا أَفْسَدْتُهُ مِنْ نَفْسِي
O Allah-azwj! Do not Let me prevail upon corrupting what You-azwj have Corrected from me, and Correct for me what I have spoilt from myself!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ قَوِيَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنِي بِعَافِيَتِكَ وَ نَالَتْهُ يَدِي بِفَضْلِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْهِ يَدِي بِسَعَةِ رِزْقِكَ وَ احْتَجَبْتُ فِيهِ عَنِ النَّاسِ بِسِتْرِكَ وَ اتَّكَلْتُ فِيهِ عَلَى كَرِيمِ عَفْوِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Forgiveness of every sin my body has been strong upon with Your-azwj Granted well-being, and my hands have attained with the Grace of Your-azwj bounties, and my hands have extended to with vastness of Your-azwj sustenance, and You-azwj have Veiled it from the people with Your-azwj Concealment, and I am relying regarding it upon the Benevolence of Your-azwj Pardon!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ وَ نَدِمْتُ عَلَى فِعْلِهِ وَ اسْتَحْيَيْتُ مِنْكَ وَ أَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ رَهِبْتُكَ وَ أَنَا فِيهِ رَاجَعْتُهُ وَ عُدْتُ إِلَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Forgiveness from every sin I have repented to You-azwj from it, and regretted upon having done it, and I am ashamed from You-azwj and I am (still) upon it, and Your-azwj fear and I am retracting regarding it, and have returned to it!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ عَلِمْتُهُ أَوْ جَهِلْتُهُ ذَكَرْتُهُ أَوْ نَسِيتُهُ أَخْطَأْتُهُ أَوْ تَعَمَّدْتُهُ هُوَ مِمَّا لَا أَشُكُّ أَنَّ نَفْسِي مُرْتَهَنَةٌ بِهِ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ أُنْسِيتُهُ وَ غَفَلْتُ عَنْهُ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin I know of or am ignorant of mentioning it, and have forgotten having committed it, or deliberated to. It is from what I have no doubt that my soul is pledged with it, and even though I have forgotten it and am heedless from it!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ جَنَيْتُهُ عَلَيَّ بِيَدِي وَ آثَرْتُ فِيهِ شَهْوَتِي أَوْ سَعَيْتُ فِيهِ لِغَيْرِي أَوِ اسْتَغْوَيْتُ فِيهِ مَنْ تَابَعَنِي أَوْ كَابَرْتُ فِيهِ مَنْ مَنَعَنِي أَوْ قَهَرْتُهُ بِجَهْلِي أَوْ لَطُفْتُ فِيهِ بِحِيلَةٍ غَيْرِي أَوِ اسْتَزَلَّنِي إِلَيْهِ مَيْلِي وَ هَوَايَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from every sin I have committed upon my hands, and preferred my lustful desires regarding it, or strived for others regarding it, or I have strayed someone following me in it, or fought regarding it the one who prevented me, or coerced him with due to my ignorance, or was subtle in it with means of others, or I slipped to it by my inclination and my whims!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ فَخَالَطَنِي فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ شَارَكَنِي فِيهِ مَا لَمْ يَخْلُصْ لَكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ بِمَا عَقَدْتُهُ عَلَى نَفْسِي ثُمَّ خَالَفَهُ هَوَايَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from all things I have intended Your-azwj Face with it but interfered in it what wasn’t for You-azwj, and associated in it what was not sincerely for You-azwj, and I seek Forgiveness for what I have agreed upon myself then my whims opposed it!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ بِفَضْلِكَ
O Allah-azwj upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Liberate me from the Fire, and Renew Your-azwj Grace upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِنُورِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ كُشِفَتْ بِهِ ظُلُمَاتُ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ وَ دُبِّرَتْ بِهِ أُمُورُ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُصْلِحَ شَأْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Honourable Face, the Ever-lasting, whose light shone the heavens and the earth, and darkness(es) of the land and the sea are uncovered by it, and the affairs of the Jinn and the humans are Managed by it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Correct my concern by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[148]
8- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِ فَرِيضَةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَيْضاً مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَا مِمَّا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَوْلَاتِنَا فَاطِمَةَ ع مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ الْخَمْسِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ هُوَ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And from the follow-up of the obligatory Al-Maghrib (Salat) as well, is what is specific with it from what is reported from our Chieftess Fatima-asws, from the supplication of follow-up of the five (daily) Salats, and it is: –
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُحْصِي مَدْحَهُ الْقَائِلُونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُحْصِي نَعْمَاءَهُ الْعَادُّونَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُؤَدِّي حَقَّهُ الْمُجْتَهِدُونَ
‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj whose praise the speakers cannot count, and the Praise is for Allah‑azwj Whose bounties cannot be counted by the recipients, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who the striving ones cannot fulfil His-azwj rights!
وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْبَاطِنُ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْمُحْيِي الْمُمِيتُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ذُو الطَّوْلِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ذُو الْبَقَاءِ الدَّائِمُ
And there is no god except Allah-azwj, the First, and the Last; and there is no god except Allah‑azwj, the apparent and the hidden; and there is no god except Allah-azwj the Causer to live and the Causer to die; and Allah-azwj is the Greatest, with the Leniency, and Allah-azwj is the Greatest with the remaining, the permanent!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُدْرِكُ الْعَالِمُونَ عِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يَسْتَخِفُّ الْجَاهِلُونَ حِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ الْمَادِحُونَ مِدْحَتَهُ وَ لَا يَصِفُ الْوَاصِفُونَ صِفَتَهُ وَ لَا يُحْسِنُ الْخَلْقُ نَعْتَهُ.:
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who the scholars cannot realise His-azwj Knowledge, nor do the ignorant ones take His-azwj Forbearance lightly, nor do the praising ones reach His-azwj Praise, nor can the describers describe His-azwj Attributes, nor can the creatures Describe Him-azwj well!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ وَ الْعِزِّ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْبَهَاءِ وَ الْجَلَالِ وَ الْمَهَابَةِ وَ الْجَمَالِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ الْمِنَّةِ وَ الْغَلَبَةِ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَ الطَّوْلِ وَ الْعَدْلِ وَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْخَلْقِ وَ العَلَاءِ وَ الرِّفْعَةِ وَ الْمَجْدِ وَ الْفَضِيلَةِ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj with the Kingdom and the Domains, and the Magnificence, and the Force, and the Might, and the Greatness, and the Glory, and the Majesty, and the Awe, and the Beauty, and the Honour, and the Power, and the Mighty, and the Strength, and the Conferment, and the Overcoming, and the Grace, and the Leniency, and the Justice, and the Truth, and the Mannerism, and the Favour, and the Loftiness, and the Glory and the merit.
وَ الْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْغِنَاءِ وَ السَّعَةِ وَ الْبَسْطِ وَ الْقَبْضِ وَ الْحِلْمِ وَ الْعِلْمِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ الْبَالِغَةِ وَ النِّعْمَةِ السَّابِغَةِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ الْحَسَنِ الْجَمِيلِ وَ الْآلَاءِ الْكَرِيمَةِ مَلِكِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى
And the Wisdom, and the Richness, and the Capaciousness, and the Extension, and the Grip, and the Forbearance, and the Knowledge, and the conclusive Argument, and the abundant bounties, and the excellent beautiful Praise, and the Benevolent Favours. King of the world and the Hereafter, and the Paradise, and the Fire and whatever is within these, Blessed and Exalted!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَلِمَ أَسْرَارَ الْغُيُوبِ وَ اطَّلَعَ عَلَى مَا تُجِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ فَلَيْسَ عَنْهُ مَذْهَبٌ وَ لَا مَهْرَبٌ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Knows secrets of the unseen, and Notices upon what the hearts are shielding. So, there is neither any going away nor fleeing from Him-azwj.
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الْمُتَكَبِّرِ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ الْعَزِيزِ فِي مَكَانِهِ الْمُتَجَبِّرِ فِي مُلْكِهِ الْقَوِيِّ فِي بَطْشِهِ الرَّفِيعِ فَوْقَ عَرْشِهِ الْمُطَّلِعِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ الْبَالِغِ لِمَا أَرَادَ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Great in His-azwj Authority, the Mighty in His-azwj position, the Compulsive in His-azwj Kingdom, the Strong in His-azwj Prowess, the Lofty above His-azwj Throne, the Noticing upon His-azwj creatures, and the reaching to whatever He-azwj Wants from His-azwj Knowledge!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بِكَلِمَاتِهِ قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ الشِّدَادُ وَ ثَبَتَتِ الْأَرَضُونَ الْمِهَادُ وَ انْتَصَبَتِ الْجِبَالُ الرَّوَاسِي الْأَوْتَادُ وَ جَرَتِ الرِّيَاحُ اللَّوَاقِحُ وَ سَارَ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ السَّحَابُ وَ وَقَفَتْ عَلَى حُدُودِهَا الْبِحَارُ وَ وَجِلَتِ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ مَخَافَتِهِ وَ انْقَمَعَتِ الْأَرْبَابُ لِرُبُوبِيَّتِهِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Established the strong skies by His-azwj Words, and Affirmed the earths as the cradle(s), and Installed the lofty mountains as the pegs, and Flowed the winds as the fertilisers, and Caused the clouds to travel in the atmosphere of the sky, and Paused the oceans upon their limits, and Palpitated the hearts from His-azwj fear, and Suppressed the lords to His-azwj Lordship!
تَبَارَكْتَ يَا مُحْصِيَ قَطْرِ الْمَطَرِ وَ وَرَقِ الشَّجَرِ وَ مُحْيِيَ أَجْسَادِ الْمَوْتَى لِلْحَشْرِ سُبْحَانَكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ مَا فَعَلْتَ بِالْغَرِيبِ الْفَقِيرِ إِذَا أَتَاكَ مُسْتَجِيراً مُسْتَغِيثاً مَا فَعَلْتَ بِمَنْ أَنَاخَ بِفِنَائِكَ وَ تَعَرَّضَ لِرِضَاكَ وَ غَدَا إِلَيْكَ فَجَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ يَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ مَا لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ
Blessed are You-azwj, O Counter of the drops of rain, and the leaves of trees, and Reviver of bodies of the deceased for the Gathering! Glory be to you-azwj O One-azwj with the majesty and the Benevolence! What will You-azwj Do with the poor stranger when he comes to You-azwj seeking Shelter, crying out for Help? What will You-azwj Do with the one who whispers at Your‑azwj Courtyard and presents to Your-azwj Satisfaction, and tomorrow he will kneel in front of You-azwj, complaining to You-azwj of what is no hidden unto You-azwj!
فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ يَا رَبِّ حَظِّي مِنْ دُعَائِي الْحِرْمَانَ وَ لَا نَصِيبِي مِمَّا أَرْجُو مِنْكَ الْخِذْلَانَ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ لَا يَزُولُ كَمَا لَمْ يَزَلْ قَائِماً عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ
O Lord-azwj! Do not Let my share from my supplication to be the Deprived, nor my share of what I am hoping from You-azwj, to be Forsaken! O One-azwj did cease to exist and will not be ceasing to be, just as He-azwj does not cease to be Standing upon every soul with what it has earned!
يَا مَنْ جَعَلَ أَيَّامَ الدُّنْيَا تَزُولُ وَ شُهُورَهَا تَحُولُ وَ سِنِيهَا تَدُورُ وَ أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ لَا تُبْلِيكَ الْأَزْمَانُ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرُكَ الدُّهُورُ يَا مَنْ كُلُّ يَوْمٍ عِنْدَهُ جَدِيدٌ وَ كُلُّ رِزْقٍ عِنْدَهُ عَتِيدٌ لِلضَّعِيفِ وَ الْقَوِيِّ وَ الشَّدِيدِ قَسَمْتَ الْأَرْزَاقَ بَيْنَ الْخَلَائِقِ فَسَوَّيْتَ بَيْنَ الذَّرَّةِ وَ الْعُصْفُورِ
O One-azwj Who Made days of the world to decline, and its months to turn, and its years to rotate, while You-azwj are the constant! Neither do the times decay You-azwj, nor do the ages change You-azwj! O One-azwj with whom every day is new, and every sustenance with Whom is Prepared for the weak and the strong and the mighty. You-azwj Apportion the sustenance between the creatures and Equalised between the ant and the sparrow!
اللَّهُمَّ إِذَا ضَاقَ الْمُقَامُ بِالنَّاسِ فَنَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمُقَامِ
O Allah-azwj! When the position is constricted with the people, we seek Refuge with You-azwj from constriction of the position!
اللَّهُمَّ إِذَا طَالَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ فَقَصِّرْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَيْنَا كَمَا بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
O Allah-azwj! When the Day of Qiyamah prolongs upon the criminals, Shorten that Day upon us like what is between the Salat to the (next) Salat!
اللَّهُمَّ إِذَا أَدْنَيْتَ الشَّمْسَ مِنَ الْجَمَاجِمِ فَكَانَ بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ الْجَمَاجِمِ مِقْدَارَ مِيلٍ وَ زِيدَ فِي حَرِّهَا حَرُّ عَشْرِ سِنِينَ فَإِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُظِلَّنَا بِالْغَمَامِ وَ تَنْصِبَ لَنَا الْمَنَابِرَ وَ الْكَرَاسِيَّ نَجْلِسُ عَلَيْهَا وَ النَّاسُ يَنْطَلِقُونَ فِي الْمُقَامِ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! When sun comes near to the skulls and between it and the skulls become a measurement of a mile, and it increases in its heat the heat of ten years, we ask You-azwj to Shade us with the clouds and Install the pulpits and the chairs for us we can sit upon while the people are going to the place, Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!
أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الْمَحَامِدِ إِلَّا غَفَرْتَ لِي وَ تَجَاوَزْتَ عَنِّي وَ أَلْبَسْتَنِي الْعَافِيَةَ فِي بَدَنِي وَ رَزَقْتَنِي السَّلَامَةَ فِي دِينِي
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of these praises to Forgive (my sins) for me, and Overlook (my faults) from me, and Clothe me the well-being in my body, and Grace me the safety in my religion!
فَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ بِإِجَابَتِكَ إِيَّايَ فِي مَسْأَلَتِي وَ أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَالِمٌ بِاسْتِمَاعِكَ دَعْوَتِي فَاسْتَمِعْ دُعَائِي وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي وَ لَا تَرُدَّ ثَنَائِي وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْ دُعَائِي أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ وَ فَقِيرٌ إِلَى غُفْرَانِكَ
I hereby ask You-azwj while I am trusting in Your-azwj Responding to me regarding my request, and I supplicate to You-azwj while I know of Your-azwj listening to my supplication, therefore Listen to my supplication and do not cut off my hopes, and do not Reject my praise, nor Disappoint my supplication.

And I ask You-azwj while I am not despairing from Your-azwj mercy, and I supplicate to You-azwj while I am without protection from Your-azwj Annoyance, O Lord-azwj, and Respond to me and Confer upon me with Your-azwj Pardon and Cause me to die as a Muslim, and Join me with the righteous ones!
رَبِّ لَا تَمْنَعْنِي فَضْلَكَ يَا مَنَّانُ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي مَخْذُولًا يَا حَنَّانُ رَبِّ ارْحَمْ عِنْدَ فِرَاقِ الْأَحِبَّةِ صَرْعَتِي وَ عِنْدَ سُكُونِ الْقَبْرِ وَحْدَتِي وَ فِي مَفَازَةِ الْقِيَامَةِ غُرْبَتِي وَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مَوْقُوفاً لِلْحِسَابِ فَاقَتِي

O Allah-azwj! Give him-saww best of what he-saww asks You-azwj, and best of what You-azwj have been asked for him-saww, and best of what You-azwj will be asked for him-saww up to the Day of Qiyamah, Ameen, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’’[149]
9- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ وَ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ أَيْضاً مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَا مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْخَمْسِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَفْرُوضَاتِ وَ هُوَ

‘And from follow-up of Al-Maghrib Salat as well is what is specific with it, from the report by Muawiya Bin Ammar, from Al-Sadiq-asws in follow-up of the five (daily) obligatory Salats, and it is: –
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَشِيرِ النَّذِيرِ وَ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ الطُّهْرِ الطَّاهِرِ الْخَيِّرِ الْفَاضِلِ خَاتَمِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ سَيِّدِ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ خَالِصِ أَخِلَّائِكَ ذِي الْوَجْهِ الْجَمِيلِ وَ الشَّرَفِ الْأَصِيلِ وَ الْمِنْبَرِ النَّبِيلِ وَ الْمَقَامِ الْمَحْمُودِ وَ الْمَنْهَلِ الْمَشْهُودِ وَ الْحَوْضِ الْمَوْرُودِ
‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, the giver of glad tidings, the warner, and the radiant lamp, the clean, the pure, the meritorious, last of Your-azwj Prophets-as, and chief of Your-azwj Elites, and Your-azwj sincere creature with the beautiful face, and the pure bread nobleman, and the of the noble pulpit, and the praiseworthy position, and the attended watering place, and the Fountain arrived at!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا بَلَّغَ رِسَالاتِكَ وَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ نَصَحَ لِأُمَّتِهِ وَ عَبَدَكَ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww just as he-saww delivered Your-azwj Messages, and fought in Your-azwj Way, and advised to his-saww community, and worshipped You-azwj until the certainty (death) came to him-saww!
وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ الْأَبْرَارِ الَّذِينَ انْتَجَبْتَهُمْ لِدِينِكَ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ ائْتَمَنْتَهُمْ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ خَزَائِنَ عِلْمِكَ وَ تَرَاجِمَةَ كَلِمَتِكَ وَ أَعْلَامَ نُورِكَ وَ حَفَظَةَ سِرِّكَ وَ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً
And Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Pure Progeny-asws, the goodly, the pious, the righteous, those You-azwj Selected them for Your-azwj religion, and Chose them-asws from Your-azwj creatures, and Entrusted them-asws upon Your-azwj Revelation, and Made them‑asws treasurers of Your-azwj Knowledge, and interpreters for Your-azwj Words, and flags of Your-azwj Noor, and protectors of Your-azwj Secrets, and You-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them-asws and Purified them a purification!
اللَّهُمَّ انْفَعْنَا بِحُبِّهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَحْتَ لِوَائِهِمْ وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ وَجِيهاً فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ الَّذِينَ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
O Allah-azwj! benefit us with their-asws love, and Gather us in their-asws group, and beneath their‑asws flag, and do not Separate between us and them-asws, and Make me with them-asws to be a face (dignified) in Your-azwj Presence in the world and the Hereafter, and from the ones of Proximity, those there will neither be grief upon them nor will they be grieving!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِالنَّهَارِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ جَاءَ بِاللَّيْلِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً وَ جَعَلَهُ لِبَاساً وَ سَكَناً وَ جَعَلَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ آيَتَيْنِ لِيُعْلَمَ بِهِمَا عَدَدُ السِّنِينَ وَ الْحِسَابُ.: الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى إِقْبَالِ اللَّيْلِ وَ إِدْبَارِ النَّهَارِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj, the One-azwj Who Goes with the day with His-azwj Power and Comes with the night with His-azwj Mercy as a new creation, and Made it a clothing and tranquillity, and Made the night and the day as two signs for the number of years and the calculation can be known with these two! The Praise is for Allah-azwj upon coming of the night and going of the day!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعِيشَتِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مُنْقَلَبِي
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Correct my religion for me which it is a protection of my affairs, and Correct my world for me which is my livelihood, and Correct my Hereafter for me which my transfer is to it.
وَ اجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ وَ اكْفِنِي أَمْرَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي بِمَا كَفَيْتَ بِهِ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ خِيَرَتَكَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّهُمَا وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
And Make the life to be increased for me in all good, and Make the death as comfort for me from every evil, and Suffice me for the matters of my world and my Hereafter with what You‑azwj had Sufficed Your-azwj friends and Your-azwj Choice from Your-azwj righteous servants with, and Turn their evil away from me and Harmonise me to what will Satisfy You-azwj from me!
يَا كَرِيمُ أَمْسَيْتُ وَ الْمُلْكُ لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ وَ مَا فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
O Benevolent! I come to the evening and the Kingdom is for Allah-azwj the One, the Subduer, and so is whatever is during the night and the day!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي وَ هَذَا اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَاعْصِمْنِي فِيهِمَا بِقُوَّتِكَ وَ لَا تُرِهِمَا مِنِّي جُرْأَةً عَلَى مَعَاصِيكَ وَ لَا رُكُوباً مِنِّي لِمَحَارِمِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِي فِيهِمَا مَقْبُولًا وَ سَعْيِي مَشْكُوراً
O Allah-azwj! Surely and this night and the day are two creations from Your-azwj creation, therefore Protect me in these two with Your-azwj Strength, and do not let these two see audacity from me upon disobeying You-azwj, nor any indulgence from me in Your-azwj Prohibitions, and Make my deeds during these as accepted, and my striving Appreciated!
وَ يَسِّرْ لِي مَا أَخَافُ عُسْرَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ لِي مَا صَعُبَ عَلَيَّ أَمْرُهُ وَ اقْضِ لِي فِيهِ بِالْحُسْنَى وَ آمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَهْتِكْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تُنْسِنِي ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَحُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ حَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً وَ لَا إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ-
And Ease for me what I fear its difficulty, and Ease for me what its matter is difficult upon me, and Decree for me during it with the goodness, and Secure me of Your-azwj Plan, and do not Tear Your-azwj veil from me, nor Let me forget Your-azwj Zikr, and nor Release between me and Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Strength, nor Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, ever, nor to anyone from Your-azwj creatures, O Benevolent!
اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ مَسَامِعَ قَلْبِي لِذِكْرِكَ حَتَّى أَعِيَ وَحْيَكَ وَ أَتَّبِعَ كِتَابَكَ وَ أُصَدِّقَ رُسُلَكَ وَ أُومِنَ بِوَعْدِكَ وَ أَخَافَ وَعِيدَكَ وَ أُوفِيَ بِعَهْدِكَ وَ أَتَّبِعَ أَمْرَكَ وَ أَجْتَنِبَ نَهْيَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Open the ears of my heart for Your-azwj Zikr until it retains Your-azwj Revelation, and follow Your-azwj book, and ratify Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and believe in Your-azwj Promise, and I fear Your-azwj Punishment/Caution, and am loyal with Your-azwj covenant, and follow Your-azwj Command, and shun Your-azwj Prohibitions!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنِي فَضْلَكَ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي عَفْوَكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي أُوَالِي أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ أُعَادِي أَعْدَاءَكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الرَّهْبَةَ مِنْكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْخُشُوعَ وَ الْوَقَارَ وَ التَّسْلِيمَ لِأَمْرِكَ وَ التَّصْدِيقَ بِكِتَابِكَ وَ اتِّبَاعَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not Turn Your-azwj Face away from me, and do not Prevent Your-azwj Grace from me, nor Deprive me Your-azwj Pardon, and Make me as friend of Your-azwj friends and enemy of Your‑azwj enemies, and Grace me the fearfulness from You-azwj and the desire to You-azwj, and the humbleness, and the dignity, and the submission to Your-azwj Command, and the ratification of Your-azwj Book, and following Sunnah of Your-azwj Prophet-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَقْنَعُ وَ بَطْنٍ لَا يَشْبَعُ وَ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُرْفَعُ وَ عَمَلٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a soul not being contented, and a belly not being satiated, and an eye not being tearful, and heart not being fearful, and Salat not being Raised, and deed not benefitting, and supplication not being Heard!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ لَا تَرْضَى
And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the evil Decree, and coming across wretchedness, and gloating of the enemies, and struggle of the affliction, and from a deed not Satisfying You-azwj!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكُفْرِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْقَهْرِ وَ الْغَدْرِ وَ مِنْ ضِيقِ الصَّدْرِ وَ مِنْ شَتَاتِ الْأَمْرِ وَ مِنَ الدَّاءِ الْعُضَالِ وَ غَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ وَ خَيْبَةِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي النَّفْسِ وَ الدِّينِ وَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ وَ عِنْدَ مُعَايَنَةِ الْمَوْتِ
And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the Kufr, and the poverty, and the compulsion, and the betrayal, and from constriction of the chest, and from scattered affairs, and from the incurable disease, overcoming by the men, and disappointment of the overturning, and the evil scenario regarding the soul, and the religion, and the wife, and the wealth, and the children, and at witnessing the death!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ إِنْسَانِ سَوْءٍ وَ جَارِ سَوْءٍ وَ قَرِينِ سَوْءٍ وَ يَوْمِ سَوْءٍ وَ سَاعَةِ سَوْءٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ مِنْ شَرِّ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ مِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ
And I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from an evil human being, and an evil neighbour, and an evil pair, and an evil day, and an evil time, and from evil of what enters into the earth and what comes out from it, and – from evil of – what descends from the sky and what ascends to it, [34:2], and from evil of the comers at night and the day (knocking on the door) except one coming knocking on the door with goodness.
وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ رَبِّي آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ- فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَضَى عَنِّي صَلَاةً- كانَتْ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كِتاباً مَوْقُوتاً.
And from evil of every animal of my Lord-azwj, He Seizes it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56] and Allah will be Sufficing you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [2:137]. The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Fulfils Salat on my behalf, which was always a timed Ordinance for the Momineen’’.[150]
10- كِتَابُ الصِّفِّينَ، لِنَصْرِ بْنِ مُزَاحِمٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا خَرَجَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِلَى صِفِّينَ نَزَلَ عَلَى شَاطِئِ الْبُرْسِ وَ صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ قَالَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهارِ وَ يُولِجُ النَّهارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كُلَّ مَا وَقَبَ لَيْلٌ وَ غَسَقَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كُلَّمَا لَاحَ نَجْمٌ وَ خَفَقَ.
‘Kitab Al Siffeen’ of Nasr Bin Muzahim who said,
‘When Ali-asws went out to Siffeen, he-asws descended at the riverbanks of Al-Burs and prayed Al-Maghrib Salat. When he-asws finished, he-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Merges the night into the day and Merges the day into the night, [22:61]. The Praise is for Allah-azwj every time a night darkens, and at dusk, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj every time a star appears and flickers!’’[151]
11- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ بَسْمَلَ وَ حَوْلَقَ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ سَبْعاً دَفَعَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَهْوَنُهَا الرِّيحُ وَ الْبَرَصُ وَ الْجُنُونُ وَ يُكْتَبُ فِي دِيوَانِ السُّعَدَاءِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَقِيّا.
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who does ‘Basmal’ (Says, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’), and does ‘Howlaq’ (Says, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’) after every Salat of Al-Fajr and Al-Maghrib, seven times, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Dispel from him seventy types from the types of afflictions, least of these being the wind, and the vitiligo, and the insanity, and he will be written in the register of the fortunate ones, and even though he may be wretched.’’[152]
12- الْكَافِي، بِسَنَدَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع: مِثْلَهُ: وَ بِسَنَدٍ آخَرَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْجَهْمِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ وَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ حِينَ يُمْسِي لَمْ يَخَفْ شَيْطَاناً وَ لَا سُلْطَاناً وَ لَا بَرَصاً وَ لَا جُذَاماً قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع وَ أَنَا أَقُولُهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
The book) ‘Al Kafi’ –
‘By two chains from Abu Abdullah-asws, similar to it, and by another chain from Al-Hassan Bin Al Jahm, from Abu Al-Hassan-asws, similar to it, except he-asws said: ‘He should say it three times when it is morning, and three times when it is evening. He will neither fear a Satan-la, nor a ruler, nor vitiligo, nor leprosy’. Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘I-asws say it one hundred times’’.[153]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّبَّاحِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ أُعْطِيَ خَيْراً كَثِيراً.
And from him, by his chain from Al Sabbah Bin Sayaba,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says when he prays Al-Maghrib Salat three times, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Does whatever He-azwj so Desires, and no one apart from Him-azwj does whatever he so desires to’, will be Given a lot of good’’.[154]

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ احْرُسْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْنُفْنِي بِرُكْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيَّ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the comers by the night and day, and from tyranny of every tyrant, and envy of every envier, and immorality of every immoral one!

O Allah-azwj! Protect me regarding myself, and my family, and my wealth, and entirety of what You-azwj have Bestowed from Your bounties!
اللَّهُمَّ تَوَلَّنِيِ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ مِمَّا غِبْتُ عَنْهُ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي فِيمَا حَضَرْتُهُ يَا مَنْ لَا تَضُرُّهُ الذُّنُوبُ وَ لَا تَنْقُصُهُ الْمَغْفِرَةُ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا لَا يَضُرُّكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي مَا لَا يَنْقُصُكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ
O Allah-azwj! Take Charge of me regarding what is with You-azwj from what I am absent from, and do not Allocate me to myself regarding what is in my presence!

Forgive (my sins) for me what does not harm You-azwj, and Give me what does not reduce You-azwj, surely You-azwj are the Benefactor!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ صَبْراً جَمِيلًا وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah-azwj! Make me from the ones who frequent do Your-azwj Zikr and pursue thanking You‑azwj, and adhere with worshipping You-azwj, and fulfil Your-azwj Entrustment!
اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْ لِسَانِي مِنَ الْكَذِبِ وَ قَلْبِي مِنَ النِّفَاقِ وَ عَمَلِي مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ وَ بَصَرِي مِنَ الْخِيَانَةِ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ
O Allah-azwj! Purify my tongue from the lies, and my heart from the hypocrisy, and my deeds from the showing-off, and my sight from the betrayal, surely You-azwj Know treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal [40:19].

‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us a burden like what You Loaded upon those from before us. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us what we have no strength for us with it; and Pardon (our sins) for us and have Mercy on us. You are our Master, therefore Help us against the Kafir people’. [2:286].

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِي وَ إِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُهُ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلَى قَلْبِي فَأَجُولُ فِي طَلَبِهِ الْبُلْدَانَ فَأَنَا فِيمَا أَنَا طَالِبٌ كَالْحَيْرَانِ لَا أَدْرِي أَ فِي سَهْلٍ هُوَ أَمْ فِي جَبَلٍ أَمْ فِي أَرْضٍ أَمْ فِي سَمَاءٍ أَمْ فِي بَرٍّ أَمْ فِي بَحْرٍ وَ عَلَى يَدَيْ مَنْ وَ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ عِلْمَهُ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَسْبَابَهُ بِيَدِكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَقْسِمُهُ بِلُطْفِكَ وَ تُسَبِّبُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! There isn’t any knowledge for me with the place of my sustenance, and rather I am seeking it by thoughts occurring upon my heart, so I roam in the cities in seeking it. I am, in what I am seeking, like the confused one, not knowing, is it in a coast, or in a mountain, or in land, or in sky, or in wilderness, or in sea, and upon the hand of whom, and from whose direction, and I do know that its knowledge is with You-azwj, and its means are in Your-azwj Hand, and You-azwj Distribute it with Your-azwj Kindness, and You-azwj Cause it by Your-azwj Mercy!

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from the number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, raising it, said,
‘He should say after ‘Al-Ishayayn’ (Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha Salats), ‘O Allah-azwj! In Your-azwj Hand are scales of the nights and the days, and scales of the world and the Hereafter, and scales of the death and the life, and scales of the sun and the moon, and scales of the help and the abandonment, and scales of the richness and the poverty!

O Allah-azwj! Bless for me in my religion, and my world, and in my body, and my wife, and my children!

(The book) ‘Kitab Al Musalsalaat’ of the Sheykh Ja’far Bin Ahmad Al Qummi who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abu Al Mufazzal, from Ubeydullah Bin Abu Sufyan Al Sha;rany, from Ibrahim Bin Amro Bin Bakr Al Shakshaky, from Muhammad Bin Shueyb Bin Sabour, from Usman Bin Abu Aatika, from Ali Bin Yazeed, he informed that Abu Abdul Rahman Bin Al Qasim Bin Abdul Rahman informed him from his grandfather Abu Umama Al Bahily,
أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ عَلِيّاً ع يَقُولُ مَا أَرَى رَجُلًا أَدْرَكَ عَقْلُهُ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ وُلِدَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَةً سَوَادَهَا
‘He heard Ali-asws saying: ‘I have not seen any man his intellect has realised Al-Islam and he was born in Al-Islam, spending a night, most of it’.
قُلْتُ مَا سَوَادُهَا يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ
I said, ‘What is ‘most of it’, O Abu Umama (Ali-asws)?’ (Recording error)
قَالَ جَمِيعُهَا حَتَّى يَقْرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
He-asws said, ‘Entirety of it, until he has recited this Verse: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; – up to His-azwj Words – and He is the Exalted, the Magnificent [2:255]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَلَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا هِيَ أَوْ قَالَ مَا فِيهَا لَمَا تَرَكْتُمُوهَا عَلَى حَالٍ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَخْبَرَنِي قَالَ أُعْطِيتُ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مِنْ كَنْزِ تَحْتِ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَمْ يُؤْتَهَا نَبِيٌّ كَانَ قَبْلِي
Then he-asws said: ‘If only you knew what it is’, or said: ‘What is in it, you would not leave it upon any state. Rasool-Allah-saww informed me-asws. He-saww said: ‘I-saww have been Given Ayat Al-Kursy from treasure beneath the Throne, and no Prophet-as before me-saww had been Given it!’
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا بِتُّ لَيْلَةً قَطُّ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أَقْرَأَهَا
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws did not sent any night at all, since I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww, until I-asws had recited it!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ إِنِّي أَقْرَؤُهَا ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فِي ثَلَاثَةِ أَحَايِينَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ.:
Then he-asws said: ‘O Abu Umama! I-asws recite it three times during three revivals (awakenings) every night’.
قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ تَصْنَعُ فِي قِرَاءَتِكَ يَا ابْنَ عَمِّ مُحَمَّدٍ
I said, ‘And how do you do so in your-asws recitation, O son-asws of uncle-as of Muhammad-saww?’
قَالَ أَقْرَؤُهَا قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَقْرَؤُهَا حَيْثُ أَخَذْتُ مَضْجَعِي لِلنَّوْمِ وَ أَقْرَؤُهَا عِنْدَ وَتْرِي مِنَ السَّحَرِ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws recite it before the two Cycles of Salat after Al-Isha the last Salat, and I-asws recite it when I-asws take to my bed for the sleeping, and I-asws recite during my Al-Witr (Salat) from the pre-dawn’.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ نَبِيِّكُمْ حَتَّى أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ
Ali-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws have not neglected it since I heard this Hadeeth from your Prophet-saww, I have informed you with!’
قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا تَرَكْتُهَا مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْخَبَرَ مِنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ حَتَّى حَدَّثْتُكَ بِهِ
Abu Umama said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I have not neglected it since I heard this Hadeeth from Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws until I have narrated to you with it!’
قَالَ الْقَاسِمُ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بِفَضْلِهَا حَتَّى الْآنَ
Al-Qasim said, ‘And I have not left reciting it every night since Abu Umama narrated to me with its merits, until now!’
قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ يَزِيدَ وَ أُخْبِرُكَ أَنِّي مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ فِي فَضْلِهَا
Ali Bin Yazeed said, ‘I have not left reciting it during every night since Al-Qasim narrated to me of its merits!’
قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عَاتِكَةَ وَ أَنَا فَمَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا مَا بَلَغَنِي
Ibn Abu Aatika said, ‘And me, I have not left reciting it every day since there reached me merits of its recitation what reached me!’
قَالَ ابْنُ سَابُورَ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي فَضْلِهَا
Ibn Sabour said, ‘And I have not left reciting it every night since it reached me from Rasool-Allah-azwj regarding its merits!’
قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ عُمَرَ وَ أَنَا مَا تَرَكْتُ قِرَاءَتَهَا مُنْذُ بَلَغَنِي عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا
Ibrahim Bin Umar said, ‘And I have not left reciting it since this Hadeeth reached me from Rasool-Allah-azwj regarding merits of its recitation!’
قَالَ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ وَ أَنَا بِنِعْمَةِ رَبِّي مَا تَرَكْتُ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ مِنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي فَضْلِ قِرَاءَتِهَا إِلَى أَنْ حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِهِ.
Abu Al-Mufazzal said, ‘And I, by the Favour of my Lord-azwj, have not left (reciting it) since I heard this Hadeeth from Ubeyd Bin Abu Sufyan, from the Prophet-saww regarding the merits of its recitation, until I have (now) narrated to you all with it!’’[164]

(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’ – From Salih Bin Ahmad, from Abdullah Bin Jabalah, from Al A’ala, from Muhammad who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Fortify your wealth, and your family, and protect them with this, and say it after Al-Isha the last Salat – ‘I shelter myself, and my offspring, and my family members, and my wealth with the Complete Words of Allah-azwj for every Satan-la, and vermin, and from every evil eye’ – and it is the amulet which Jibraeel-as had sought Refuge with for Al-Hassan‑asws and Al-Husayn-asws’’.[165]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنِ الْخَضِرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُحَسِّنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ أَوْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كُلُّ مَنْ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمَلَ هَذِهِ الْعُوذَةَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ ضَمِنْتُ لَهُ أَنْ لَا يَغْتَالَهُ مُغْتَالٌ مِنْ سَارِقٍ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ
And from him, from Al Khazir Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Umar Bin Muslim, and Muhassin Bin Ahmad, from Yunus Bin Yaqoub,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws or Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Every one who says these phrases and utilises this amulet during every night, I-asws guarantee for him that he will not be killed by a killer from a thief during the night and the day.
يَقُولُ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِمَغْفِرَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِسُلْطَانِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
He should say after Al-Isha the last Salat, ‘I seek Refuge with the Might of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge by the Power of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Mercy of Allah-azwj, and I seek Refuge with the Authority of Allah-azwj Who is Able upon all things.
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَرَمِ اللَّهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِجَمْعِ اللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ كُلِّ مُغْتَالٍ وَ سَارِقٍ وَ عَارِضٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ السَّامَّةِ وَ الْهَامَّةِ وَ الْعَامَّةِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ أَوْ كَبِيرَةٍ بِلَيْلٍ أَوْ نَهَارٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ فُسَّاقِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ فُجَّارِهِمْ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ فَسَقَةِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ رَبِّي آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
And I seek Refuge with Benevolence of Allah-azwj, and I seek refuge with entire (Attributes) of Allah-azwj from evil of every obstinate tyrant, and apostate Satan-la, and every killer, and thief, and objecting one, and from evil of the poisons, and the vermin, and from evil of every animal, small or large, at night or day, and from evil of mischief makers of the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and their immoral ones, and from evil of mischief makers of the Jinn and the humans, and from evil of every animal.

ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ عَشْراً عَشْراً وَ قُلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَشْراً وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
Then he should recited Opening of the Book (Surah Al-Fatiha), and (Surah) Al-Ikhlas (Al-Tawheed), and (Surahs) Al-Mawazateyn, ten times, ten times, and say after that, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest’, ten times, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, ten times.
وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَسْبِغْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَلَالِ رِزْقِكَ وَ مَتِّعْنِي بِالْعَافِيَةِ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي فِي سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ جَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِ بَدَنِي
And say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Open for me the doors of Mercy, and Bestow upon me from Your-azwj Lawful sustenance, and Cause me to enjoy with the well-being for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live, regarding my hearing and my sight and entirety of my body parts!
اللَّهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Whatever bounties there are with us, after from You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and repent to You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[167]
