CHAPTER 65 – THE FOLLOW-UP SPECIFIC WITH Al-Fajr SALAT
1- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، مِنْ كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ بِخَطِّ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ السِّنْدِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يَأْتِي عَلَى ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلَّا قَالَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ أَنَا يَوْمٌ جَدِيدٌ وَ أَنَا عَلَيْكَ شَهِيدٌ فَافْعَلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً وَ اعْمَلْ فِيَّ خَيْراً أَشْهَدْ لَكَ بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَإِنَّكَ لَنْ تَرَانِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً.
(The book) ‘Falah Al-Saail’ – From the book of Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Mahboub in the handwriting of my grandfather Al Tusi, from Ali Bin Al Sindy, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ubeydullah, from Abdullah Bin Maymoun,
‘From Ja’far-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘There is no day which comes upon a son of Adam-as except that day says, ‘O son of Adam-as! I am a new day and I am a witness upon you, therefore do good during me and perform good actions during me, I shall testify for you with it on the Day of Qiyamah, for you will never see me after it, ever!’’[1]
2- الْمَكَارِمُ، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ وَ تَمَكَّثَ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ كَانَ أَنْجَحَ فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ مِنَ الضَّرْبِ فِي الْأَرْضِ شَهْراً وَ اجْتَهِدْ أَنْ لَا تَتَكَلَّمَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مُشْتَغِلًا بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ بِقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who prays Salat Al-Fajr and waits until the sun emerges, he would be more successful in seeking the sustenance than the striking (striving) in the earth for a month, and he struggles not to talk before emergence of the sun, and to be pre-occupied with the supplication and with reciting the Quran.
فَقَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
It has been reported from the Prophet-azwj having said: ‘One who sits in his prayer place from Salat Al-Fajr up to emergence of the sun, Allah-azwj will Veil him from the Fire’’.[2]
وَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ أَسْرَعُ فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ مِنَ الضَّرْبِ بِالسَّيْفِ فِي الْأَرْضِ.
And from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he-asws was saying: ‘By Allah-azwj! Zikr of Allah-azwj after the morning Salat up to the emergence of dawn is quicker in seeking the sustenance than the striking with the sword in the earth’’.[3]
وَ رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ إِنَّمَا يَبُثُّ جُنُودَهُ جُنُودَ اللَّيْلِ مِنْ حِينِ تَغِيبُ الشَّمْسُ إِلَى وَقْتِ الشَّفَقِ وَ يَبُثُّ جُنُودَ النَّهَارِ مِنْ حِينِ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى مَطْلَعِ الشَّمْسِ.
And it is reported by Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Iblees-la rather dispatches his-la armies, army of the night from when the sun disappears up to the twilight, and he-la dispatches army of the day from when the dawn emerges up to emergence of the sun’’.[4]
وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَقُولُ أَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ فِي هَاتَيْنِ السَّاعَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا سَاعَتَا غَفْلَةٍ.
And he-asws said: ‘The Prophet-azwj had said: ‘Frequent the Zikr of Allah-azwj during these two timings, for these are times of heedlessness’’.[5]
وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع نَوْمَةُ الْغَدَاةِ مَشْئُومَةٌ تَطْرُدُ الرِّزْقَ وَ تُصَفِّرُ اللَّوْنَ وَ تُقَبِّحُهُ وَ تُغَيِّرُهُ وَ هُوَ نَوْمُ كُلِّ مَشْئُومٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقْسِمُ الْأَرْزَاقَ مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِيَّاكُمْ وَ تِلْكَ النَّوْمَةَ.
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Sleeping in the morning is inauspicious. It repels the sustenance, and pales the complexion and uglifies it and changes it, and it is a sleep of every inauspiciousness. Allah-azwj the Exalted Distributes the sustenance(s) during what is between emergence of the dawn to emergence of the sun, therefore beware of that sleep!’’[6]
وَ قَالَ الرِّضَا ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ فَالْمُقَسِّماتِ أَمْراً قَالَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ تُقَسِّمُ أَرْزَاقَ بَنِي آدَمَ مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَمَنْ نَامَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا نَامَ عَنْ رِزْقِهِ.
And Al-Reza-asws said regarding Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: Then the (Angels) distributing matters [51:4]. He-asws said: ‘The Angels distribute the sustenance(s) of the children of Adam what is between the emergence of dawn to emergence of the sun. The one who sleeps in what is between the two, sleeps from his sustenance!’’[7]
وَ رَوَى مُعَمَّرُ بْنُ خَلَّادٍ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع وَ هُوَ بِخُرَاسَانَ إِذَا صَلَّى الْفَجْرَ جَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ إِلَى أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِخَرِيطَةٍ فِيهَا مَسَاوِيكُ فَيَسْتَاكُ بِهَا وَاحِداً بَعْدَ وَاحِدٍ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِكُنْدُرٍ فَيَمْضَغُهُ ثُمَّ يَدَعُ ذَلِكَ وَ يُؤْتَى بِالْمُصْحَفِ فَيَقْرَأُ فِيهِ.
And it is reported by Muammar Bin Khallad who said,
‘It so happened when Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws was at Khurasan, when he-asws prayed Al-Fajr Salat, he-asws would sit in his-asws praying place unto emergence of the sun. Then he-asws would be brought his-asws container wherein were toothbrushes. He-asws would brush with it one by one. Then he-asws would be brought frankincense, so he-asws would rinse, then he would leave them and call for the Quran, and he-asws would read it’’.[8]
3- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا صَلَّى الْغَدَاةَ قَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ اجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّي وَ أَرِنِي ثَارِي فِي عَدُوِّي.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘It was so, whenever Rasool-Allah-azwj prayed the morning (Salat), said: ‘O Allah-azwj! Cause me to enjoy with my hearing and my sight, and Make these as the inheritance from me, and Show me my retaliation in my enemy!’’[9]
4- طِبُّ الْأَئِمَّةِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّ رَجُلًا شَكَا إِلَيْهِ قِلَّةَ الْوَلَدِ وَ أَنَّهُ يَطْلُبُ الْوَلَدَ مِنَ الْإِمَاءِ وَ الْحَرَائِرِ فَلَا يُرْزَقُ لَهُ وَ هُوَ ابْنُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً-
(The book) ‘Tibb Al Aimma-asws’ – By his chain to Suleyman Al Ja’fary,
‘From Al-Baqir-asws: ‘A man complained to him of lack of children and he had sought the child from the maids (slave girls) and the free women, but he was not Graced it, and he is sixty years old.
فَقَالَ ع قُلْ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاتِكَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ صَلَاةِ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً تَخْتِمُهُ بِقَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كانَ غَفَّاراً يُرْسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْراراً وَ يُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوالٍ وَ بَنِينَ وَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهاراً.
He-asws said: ‘Say for three days after your Prescribed Al-Isha the last Salat, and after Salat Al-Fajr, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj’, seventy times, and ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’, seventy times, ending it with Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: ‘Seek Forgiveness of your Lord, He would always be Forgiving [71:10] He will Send the sky unto you pouring (with rain) [71:11] And Assist you with wealth and sons, and Make gardens for you, and Make rivers for you [71:12]’’.[10]
5- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، رُوِيَ أَنَّ أَبَا الْقَمْقَامِ أَتَى أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع وَ كَانَ رَجُلًا مُحَارَفاً فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ حِرْفَتَهُ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَتَوَجَّهُ فِي حَاجَةٍ فَتُقْضَى لَهُ
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘Abu Al-Qamqam came to Abu Al-Hassan-asws, and he was a skilful man and complained to him‑asws of his craft and that he does not head (anywhere) regarding his need and it gets fulfilled for him.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
Abu Al-Hassan-asws said to him: ‘Say after Al-Fajr Salat, ‘Glorious is Allah-azwj the Magnificent, and with His-azwj Praise! I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and ask Him-azwj for His-azwj Grace!’ – ten times’.
قَالَ أَبُو الْقَمْقَامِ فَلَزِمْتُ ذَلِكَ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا لَبِثْتُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا حَتَّى وَرَدَ عَلَيَّ قَوْمٌ مِنَ الْبَادِيَةِ فَأَخْبَرُونِي أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنْ قَوْمِي مَاتَ وَ لَمْ يُعْرَفْ لَهُ وَارِثٌ غَيْرِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ وَ قَبَضْتُ مِيرَاثَهُ وَ لَمْ أَزَلْ مُسْتَغْنِياً.
Abu Al-Qasim said, ‘I adhered with that. By Allah-azwj! I did not wait except a little until a group from the valleys arrived to me. They informed me that a man from my people had died and no inheritor is known being for him apart from me. I went and took possession of his inheritance and I did not cease to be rich’’.[11]
6- العدة، عدة الداعي رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَقَى اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ مِنْ نَفَخَاتِ النَّارِ.
(The book) ‘Al Iddat Al Daie’ – Hammad Bin Usman,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who says in the Fajr Salat, ‘Lord-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon People-asws of His-azwj Household’, Allah-azwj will Save his face from exhalations of the Fire’’.[12]
وَ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَلَا تَبْسُطْ رِجْلَكَ وَ لَا 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
And from Sa’ad Bin Zayd who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘When you have prayed Al-Maghrib Salat, do not stretch your legs nor talk to anyone until you say one hundred times: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful,’ and ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent’ one hundred times in Al-Maghrib and one hundred times in the morning (Salat).
فَمَنْ قَالَهَا دُفِعَ عَنْهُ مِائَةُ نَوْعٍ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَدْنَى نَوْعٍ مِنْهُ الْبَرَصُ وَ الْجُذَامُ وَ الشَّيْطَانُ وَ السُّلْطَانُ.
The one who says it, one hundred types from the types of afflictions will be repelled away from him, the least type from it being the vitiligo, and the leprosy, and the Satan-la and the ruler’’.[13]
7- الْمَكَارِمُ، رُوِيَ عَنْ هِلْقَامِ بْنِ أَبِي هِلْقَامٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: أَتَيْتُ أَبَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً جَامِعاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَوْجِزْهُ
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ – It is reported from HIlqam Bin Abu Hilqam having said,
‘I came to Abu Ibrahim-asws (7th Imam-asws). I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Teach me a supplication comprehensive for the world and the Hereafter and be brief’.
قَالَ قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى أَنْ تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ
He-asws said: ‘Say after Al-Fajr Salat up to emergence of the sun:
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise! I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and I ask Him-azwj of His-azwj Grace!’’
قَالَ هِلْقَامٌ وَ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَسْوَأَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي حَالًا فَمَا عَلِمْتُ حَتَّى أَتَانِي مِيرَاثٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَجُلٍ مَا ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ قَرَابَةً وَ إِنِّي الْيَوْمَ لَمِنْ أَيْسَرِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ مَا ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِي مَوْلَايَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع.
Hilqam said, ‘And I used to be of the worst state from my family members. I did not know until inheritance came to me from a man I did had not thought there was kinship between me and him, and today I am from the most affluent of my family members, and that is not except from what my Master Al-Abd Al-Salih Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws had taught me’’.[14]
8- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ شَيْئاً إِذَا قُلْتَهُ قَضَى اللَّهُ دَيْنَكَ وَ أَنْعَشَكَ وَ أَنْعَشَ حَالَكَ
(The book) ‘Al Ayyashi’ – from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,
‘I complained to Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws teach you something, if you say it, Allah-azwj will Pay off your debts, and refresh you and Refresh your situation?’
فَقُلْتُ مَا أَحْوَجَنِي إِلَى ذَلِكَ
I said, ‘How needy I am to that!’
فَعَلَّمَهُ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ قُلْ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ- تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ 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
He-asws taught him this supplication: ‘Say after Salat Al-Fajr, ‘I rely upon the Living, the Eternal Who does not die! And say: ‘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].
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُؤْسِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ مِنْ غَلَبَةِ الدَّيْنِ وَ السُّقْمِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَى أَدَاءِ حَقِّكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَى النَّاسِ.
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the destitution and the poverty, and from overwhelming debt and sickness, and I ask You-azwj to Assist me upon fulfilling Your-azwj rights to You-azwj, and to the people (their rights)’’.[15]
9- الْكَافِي، بِسَنَدِهِ الْقَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَهْوَنُهَا الرِّيحُ وَ الْبَرَصُ وَ الْجُنُونُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَقِيّاً مُحِيَ مِنَ الشَّقَاءِ وَ كُتِبَ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his strong chain, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says after Salat Al-Fajr and after Salat Al-Maghrib, seven times, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, Allah-azwj will Repel away from him seventy types from the types of afflictions, their easiest being the wind, and the vitiligo, and the insanity; and if he were to be wretched, he will be Deleted from the wretched ones and Written to be among the fortunate’’.[16]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ سَعْدَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ أَهْوَنُهُ الْجُنُونُ وَ الْجُذَامُ وَ الْبَرَصُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ شَقِيّاً رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُحَوِّلَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى السَّعَادَةِ.
And in a report of Sa’dan, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, similar to it except he-asws said: ‘Its easiest being the insanity, and the leprosy, and the vitiligo, and if he were to be wretched, I-asws hope that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Transfer him to the fortunate ones’’.[17]
وَ مِنْهُ بِسَنَدِهِ الْمُوَثَّقِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جَهْمٍ 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 وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ وَ أَنَا أَقُولُهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
And from him, by his trusted chain from Al-Hassan Bin 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’, and he-asws did not say: ‘Seven times’. Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘And I‑asws say it one hundred times’’.[18]
وَ أَيْضاً بِسَنَدِهِ الْمُوَثَّقِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْغَدَاةَ وَ الْمَغْرِبَ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَهَا لَمْ يُصِبْهُ جُنُونٌ وَ لَا جُذَامٌ وَ لَا بَرَصٌ وَ لَا سَبْعُونَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ.
And as well by his trusted chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you have prayed the morning Salat and Al-Maghrib, say, ‘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 times, for the one who says it will neither be afflicted with insanity, nor leprosy, nor vitiligo, nor seventy types from the types of afflictions’’.[19]
10- بِخَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ، ره عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مَنْ صَلَّى فَرِيضَةَ الْغَدَاةِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ جَسَدَهُ عَلَى النَّارِ وَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يَكُونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْتِقْ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ.
In the handwriting of Al Shaheed,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who prays the morning obligatory Salat and sends Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny of Muhammad-saww one hundred times, Allah-azwj will Prohibit his body unto the Fire, and it is befitting that it should be before he talks (to anyone), ‘O Lord‑azwj!

‘From Rasool-Allah-azwj having said: ‘By the One-azwj is Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad‑saww! A supplication of the man after emergence of the dawn up to emergence of the sun is more successful regarding the needs than the striking with his wealth (to earn) in the earth!’’[21]

And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them, so they are not seeing [36:9]’’.[43]

You-azwj Decree and cannot be decreed against, and You-azwj don’t Honour the one You-azwj are Inimical to and do not Disgrace the one You-azwj Befriend! Blessed and Exalted are You-azwj! Glory be to You-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Sacred House! Accept my supplication from me and what good deeds I am drawing closer to You-azwj with.

Multiply it for me, O Lord-azwj, a multiple, and Give me a mighty Recompense from Yourself‑saww! Lord-azwj, how excellent is what You-azwj had Caused to reach me, and how mighty is what You-azwj have Given me, and how prolong is what well-being You-azwj have Granted me, and how much is what You-azwj Concealed upon me!

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from the number, from Ahmad Al Barqy, from Abdul Rahman Bin Hammad, from Amro Bin Mus’ab, from Furat Bin Al Ahnaf,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Whatever you may leave out of anything, do not leave saying during every morning and evening, ‘O Allah-azwj!

(The book) ‘Al Misbagh’, and rest of the books, there is another supplication –
‘O Allah-azwj! Originator of the skies and the earth, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! I pact to You-azwj in this world, surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww!

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, ever, nor to anyone from Your-azwj creatures, for if You-azwj were to Allocate me to it, You-azwj will be distancing me from the good, and be drawing me closer to the evil!
أَيْ رَبِّ لَا أَثِقُ إِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي عِنْدَكَ عَهْداً تُؤَدِّيَهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ- إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ.
Yes, Lord-azwj! I do not trust except with Your-azwj Mercy. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, and Make a Covenant for me with You-azwj Fulfilling it up to the Day of Qiyamah, surely You-azwj do not Break the Promise!’’[48]

(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, from Ibn Masoud –
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Is every one of you unable to take a pact with Allah-azwj the Exalted every morning and evening?’
قَالُوا وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ
They said, ‘And how is that?’
قَالَ يَقُولُ أَحَدُكُمْ اللَّهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ فَإِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ طُبِعَ عَلَيْهِ بِطَابَعٍ وَ وُضِعَ تَحْتَ الْعَرْشِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ أَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لَهُمْ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ عَهْدٌ فَيَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ.
He-saww said: ‘Every one of you should be saying, ‘O Allah-azwj, Originator of the skies and the earth’ – up to end of the supplication. He-saww said: ‘That is printed upon (for him) with a print and placed beneath the Throne. When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, a caller will call out, ‘Where are those having a pact with the Beneficent for them?’ So, they will be entering the Paradise’’.[49]
36- الْمِصْبَاحُ، وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، وَ سَائِرُ الْكُتُبِ وَ دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ 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
(The book) ‘Al Misbah’, and ‘Al Ikhtiyar’, and rest of the books, and another supplication –
‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and to 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 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 live!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخالِقِينَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً.
Then you should say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful. The Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds! Blessed is Allah-azwj, best of the creators, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ – thirty times’’.[50]
37- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، رَأَيْتُ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا مَرْوِيّاً عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ مَنْ كَانَ بِهِ عِلَّةٌ فَلْيَقُلْ عَقِيبَ الصُّبْحِ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا فِي الْأَصْلِ ثُمَّ يَمْسَحُ يَدَهُ عَلَى الْعِلَّةِ يَبْرَأُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ – I saw in one of the books of our companions reporting,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, ‘The one having an illness with him, let him say as follow-up of the morning (Salat), forty times, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds. Allah-azwj is Sufficient for us and is the best Protector. Blessed is Allah-azwj’ – up to end of what is in the original, then he should wipe his hand upon the (place of) illness, he will be cured, if Allah-azwj so Desires’’.[51]
38- مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، ثُمَّ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا الَّلهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ

O Allah-azwj! Whatever bounties are with us, are from You-azwj Alone. There is no associate for You-azwj. I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and I repent to You-azwj!
ثُمَّ قُلْ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ بِاللَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْأَحَدِ الصَّمَدِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ

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 Say: ‘I seek Refuge 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]’.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي وَ جَمِيعَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَشْفَعُ عِنْدَهُ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ يَعْلَمُ ما بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ ما خَلْفَهُمْ وَ لا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِما شاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ
Then you should say, ‘I seek Refuge for myself, and my wife, and my wealth, and my children, and whatever my Lord-azwj has Graced me, and entirety of the ones whose matter concerns me, with Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep; for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth; who is that who can intercede in His Presence except by His Permission? He Knows what is in front of them and what is behind them while they are not encompassing anything from His Knowledge except with whatever He so Desires; His Chair contains the skies and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him; and He is the Exalted, the Magnificent [2:255].
ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ السُّخْرَةِ وَ هِيَ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثاً وَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ وَ النُّجُومَ مُسَخَّراتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ
Then you should recite the Verse of subservience, and it is – Surely, your Lord is Allah Who Created the skies and the earth in six days, then Established upon the Throne; He Covers the night over the day, which it pursues incessantly; and the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His Command. Indeed, for Him is the Creation and the Command. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [7:54]
ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَ خُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها وَ ادْعُوهُ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Call your Lord beseeching and secretly, surely He does not Love the aggressors [7:55] And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order, and supplicate to Him fearing and wishing; surely the Mercy of Allah is close to the good doers [7:56].
وَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ الْكَهْفِ- قُلْ لَوْ كانَ الْبَحْرُ مِداداً لِكَلِماتِ رَبِّي لَنَفِدَ الْبَحْرُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَنْفَدَ كَلِماتُ رَبِّي وَ لَوْ جِئْنا بِمِثْلِهِ مَدَداً
And two Verses from end of (Surah) Al Kahf – Say: ‘If the sea was ink for the Words of my Lord, the sea would be depleted before the Words of my Lord are depleted, and even if We were to bring the like of it as ink’ [18:109]
قُلْ إِنَّما أَنَا بَشَرٌ مِثْلُكُمْ يُوحى إِلَيَّ أَنَّما إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ فَمَنْ كانَ يَرْجُوا لِقاءَ رَبِّهِ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صالِحاً وَ لا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبادَةِ رَبِّهِ أَحَداً
Say: ‘But rather, I am a human being like you. He Reveals unto me. But rather, your God is One God. So the one who wishes to meet his Lord, so let him do (the) righteous deed and he should not associate anyone with the worship of his Lord’ [18:110].
وَ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الصَّافَّاتِ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ الصَّافَّاتِ صَفًّا فَالزَّاجِراتِ زَجْراً فَالتَّالِياتِ ذِكْراً إِنَّ إِلهَكُمْ لَواحِدٌ رَبُّ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما وَ رَبُّ الْمَشارِقِ

By the ones lined out in rows [37:1] And the rebuking (Angels) rebuking [37:2] And the reciters of the Zikr [37:3] Surely, your God is One [37:4] Lord of the skies and the earth and what is between them, and Lord of the Easts [37:5]
إِنَّا زَيَّنَّا السَّماءَ الدُّنْيا بِزِينَةٍ الْكَواكِبِ وَ حِفْظاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْطانٍ مارِدٍ لا يَسَّمَّعُونَ إِلَى الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلى وَ يُقْذَفُونَ مِنْ كُلِّ جانِبٍ دُحُوراً وَ لَهُمْ عَذابٌ واصِبٌ إِلَّا مَنْ خَطِفَ الْخَطْفَةَ فَأَتْبَعَهُ شِهابٌ ثاقِبٌ
Surely, We Adorned the sky of the world with an adornment of the planets [37:6] And a protection from every rebellious Satan [37:7] They cannot listen to the exalted assembly and they are being pelted at from every side [37:8] Being repelled, and for them is an eternal Punishment [37:9] Except (for the) one who violates the caution, so there pursues him a shooting star [37:10].
وَ ثَلَاثَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِهَا سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
And three Verses from its end – 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].
وَ ثَلَاثَ آيَاتٍ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ يا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُمْ أَنْ تَنْفُذُوا مِنْ أَقْطارِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ فَانْفُذُوا لا تَنْفُذُونَ إِلَّا بِسُلْطانٍ فَبِأَيِّ آلاءِ رَبِّكُما تُكَذِّبانِ يُرْسَلُ عَلَيْكُما شُواظٌ مِنْ نارٍ وَ نُحاسٌ فَلا تَنْتَصِرانِ
And three Verses from (Surah) Al Rahman – O communities of the Jinn and the humans! If you are able to pass beyond the diameter of the skies and the earth, then pass. You will not be passing through except with authorisation [55:33] So, which of the Favours of your Lord with you two belie? [55:34] Flames of fire and smoke would be Sent upon you two, and you will not (be able to) help each other [55:35].
وَ آخِرَ الْحَشْرِ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ- لَوْ أَنْزَلْنا هذَا الْقُرْآنَ عَلى جَبَلٍ لَرَأَيْتَهُ خاشِعاً مُتَصَدِّعاً مِنْ خَشْيَةِ اللَّهِ وَ تِلْكَ الْأَمْثالُ نَضْرِبُها لِلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ
And end of (Surah) Al Hashr, from His-azwj Words: Had We Revealed this Quran unto a mountain, you would have seen it humbled, cracking down from fear of Allah, and these are examples We Strike for the people, perhaps they would be pondering [59:21]
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ
He is Allah. There is no god except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22]
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
He is Allah. There is no god except He; the King, the Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian, the Mighty, the Supreme, the One of every Greatness. Glorious is Allah from what they are associating [59:23]
هُوَ اللَّهُ الْخالِقُ الْبارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى يُسَبِّحُ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ.

(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ – In ‘Sunan’ of Saeed Bin Mansour,
‘From the Prophet-saww: ‘One who recites (Surah) Al Tawheed ten times every day, no sin will come across him during that day and even if the Satan-la were to struggle’’.[53]
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ عَقِيبَ الصُّبْحِ عَشْراً- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ عَافَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ الْجُنُونِ وَ الْجُذَامِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْهَدْمِ.
And from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who says during every day as follow-up of the morning (Salat), ten times, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj the Magnificent, and with His-azwj Praise’, ‘And there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’ – Allah-azwj the Exalted will Cure him from the blindness, and the insanity, and the leprosy, and the poverty, and being crushed’’.[54]
وَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يُنْسِئَ اللَّهُ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ يَنْصُرَهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَ يَقِيَهُ مِيتَةَ السَّوْءِ فَلْيُوَاظِبْ عَلَى هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بُكْرَةً وَ عَشِيَّةً-
And from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard the Prophet-saww saying: ‘One whom it cheers that Allah-azwj should postpone (prolong) in his life-span, and Help him against his enemies, and Save him from the evil death, let him persevere upon this supplication morning and evening: –
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الْعِلْمِ وَ مَبْلَغَ الرِّضَا وَ زِنَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَ سَعَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَذَلِكَ.
‘Glory be to Allah-azwj Filling the Scale, and ultimate of the knowledge, and extent of the satisfaction, and adornment of the Throne, and vastness of the Chair’, thrice, then he should say, ‘And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Exalted’, like that (thrice)’’.[55]

(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen, from the book ‘Rabi Al Abraar’,
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who says one hundred times during a day, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, the King, the Manifest Truth’, there would be security for him from the poverty, and comfort from loneliness of the grave, and it will attract the riches, and he will know the door of Paradise’’.[56]
وَ فِي كِتَابِ وَابِلِ الصَّيِّبِ لِابْنِ الْقَيِّمِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص مَنْ قَالَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ فَقْرٌ أَبَداً.
And in the book ‘Wabil Al Seyyib’ of Ibn Al Qayyim,
‘From the Prophet-saww: ‘One who says every day, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’, one hundred times, poverty will not afflict him, ever!’’[57]
وَ فِي فَضْلِ الْحَوْقَلَةِ لِابْنِ عَسَاكِرَ عَنْهُ ص أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ فَإِنَّهَا مُلْكُ الْجَنَّةِ مَنْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا نَظَرَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ فَقَدْ أَصَابَ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
And in ‘Fazl Al Hawqala’ of Ibn Asakir,
‘From him-saww: ‘Frequent from the words, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, for it is a property of Paradise. One who frequents from it, Allah-azwj will Look at him, and the one He-azwj Looks at, so he has attained goodness of the world and the Hereafter’’.[58]
وَ فِي كِتَابِ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ الْأَذْكَارِ أَنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَى إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ لَكَ قُلْ لِأُمَّتِكَ أَنْ يَقُولُوا لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ عَشْراً عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ وَ عَشْراً عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ وَ عَشْراً عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ لِيَدْفَعَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمْ عِنْدَ النَّوْمِ بَلْوَى الدُّنْيَا وَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ مَكِيدَةَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ غَضَبَهُ تَعَالَى.
And in the book ‘Al Anwaar Wa Al Azkaar’ –
‘Jibraeel-as came to the Prophet-saww and said to him-saww: ‘Allah-azwj Says to you-saww, say to your-saww community that they should be saying, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent’, ten times in the evening and ten time in the morning, and ten times at sleep times, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Repel from them during the sleep, afflictions of the world, and in the evening the plots of Satan-la, and in the morning, Wrath of the Exalted’’’.[59]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ الْقَدْرَ بَعْدَ الصُّبْحِ عَشْراً وَ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ عَشْراً وَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ عَشْراً أَتْعَبَ أَلْفَيْ كَاتِبٍ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws Al-Baqir-asws: ‘The one who recites (Surah) Al-Qadr after the morning (Salat) ten times, and when the sun declines (midday) ten times, and after Al Asr (Salat) ten times, will fatigue two thousand scribes for thirty years’’.[60]
وَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع مَا قَرَأَهَا عَبْدٌ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَّا صَلَّى عَلَيْهِ سَبْعُونَ صَفّاً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ سَبْعِينَ صَلَاةً وَ تَرَحَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ رَحْمَةً.
And from Al-Baqir-asws: ‘A servant will not recite it seven times after the emergence of dawn except seventy rows of Angels will send seventy Salawaat upon him, and invoke Mercy upon him, seventy Mercies’’.[61]
وَ ذَكَرَ الشَّيْخُ عِزُّ الدِّينِ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ نَاصِرٍ الْحَدَّادُ الْعَامِلِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ طَرِيقِ النَّجَاةِ قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْإِمَامِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ سِتّاً وَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً خَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَكْتُبُونَ ثَوَابَهَا سِتَّةً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ أَلْفَ عَامٍ وَ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى اسْتِغْفَارَهُمْ لَهُ أَلْفَيْ سَنَةٍ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَوْظِيفُ ذَلِكَ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَوْقَاتٍ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ
And it is mentioned by the Sheykh Izzal Deen Bin Nasir Al Haddad Al Aamilly in his book ‘Tareeq Al Najaat’, he said,
‘It is reported from the Imam-asws Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd: ‘The one who recites Surah Al Qadr seventy-six times during every day and night, Allah-azwj will Create a thousand Angels for him. They will be writing its Rewards for thirty-six thousand years, and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Multiply their seeking of Forgiveness for him for two thousand years, a thousand times, repeating that in seven timings after the emergence of dawn –
قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ تَقْرَأُ سَبْعاً وَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ عَشْراً وَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ النَّافِلَةِ عَشْراً وَ بَعْدَ نَوَافِلِ الزَّوَالِ أحدا [إِحْدَى] وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ عَشْراً وَ بَعْدَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ سَبْعاً وَ حِينَ يَأْوِي إِلَى فِرَاشِهِ إِحْدَى عَشَرَةَ فَذَلِكَ سِتٌّ وَ سَبْعُونَ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَوْقَاتٍ
Before the morning Salat reciting it seven times, and after the morning Salat ten times, and when the sun declines (midday) before the optional Salat ten times, and after the optional (Salat) of the midday twenty-one times, and after Al Asr Salat ten times, and after Al Isha the last seven times, and when he shelters to his bed eleven times. So that is seventy-six in seven timings’.
ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ثَوَاباً جَزِيلًا نَذْكُرُهَا فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ.
Then he-asws mentioned abundance of Rewards, we (Majlisi) shall mention in in ‘Kitab Al Quran’’.[62]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ فَقَدْ أَدَّى شُكْرَ يَوْمِهِ وَ مَنْ قَالَهَا إِذَا أَمْسَى أَرْبَعاً فَقَدْ أَدَّى شُكْرَ لَيْلَتِهِ.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who says four times when it is morning, ‘The Praise is for Allah‑azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds’, so he has fulfilled the thanks of his day, and one who says it when it is evening four times, he has fulfilled thanks of his night’’.[63]
41- الْمُهَجُ، مهج الدعوات رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مِنْ سَوَادِ الْعَيْنِ إِلَى بَيَاضِهَا وَ إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ.
(The book) ‘Al Muhaj Al Dawaat’ – We are reporting by our chain to Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, to Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fary,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘One who says after Salat Al-Fajr, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, one hundred times, would be closer to the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj than blackness of the eye is to its whiteness, and the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is included in it’’.[64]
42- الْكَافِي، فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ قَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ حِينَ يُصَلِّي الْفَجْرَ لَمْ يَرَ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً يَكْرَهُهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’, in the ‘Saheeh’ (correct Hadeeth), from Hammad who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘One who says, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires happens, there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, one hundred times when he prays Al-Fajr Salat, will not see during that day of his anything he dislikes’’.[65]
مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ قُدِّسَ سِرُّهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْمُفِيدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ يُعِيدُهَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ نَوْعاً مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ أَهْوَنُهَا الْجُذَامُ وَ الْبَرَصُ.
From the handwriting of Al Shaheed, may his soul be sanctified, by the chain from Al Mufeed, by his chain from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says after the morning Salat before he talks (to anyone), ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the beneficent, the Merciful! There is neither might nor strength except will Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, repeating it seven times, Allah-azwj will Repel from him seventy types from the types of afflictions, its least being the leprosy and the vitiligo’’.[66]
43- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، بِسَنَدِهِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ وَ مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ وَ الْكَفْعَمِيُ وَ ابْنُ الْبَاقِي وَ الْمَكَارِمُ وَ غَيْرُهَا مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ فِي أَعْقَابِ الصَّلَوَاتِ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ الْأَبْرَارِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً-
(The books) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – By his previous chain, and ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and Al Kaf’amy, and Ibn Al Baqi, and Al Makarim and others, from the report of Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘In the follow-up (acts of worship) you should say after Al-Fajr, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, the purified ones, the chosen, the pious, the righteous, those Allah-azwj Kept the uncleanness away from them and Purified them with a purification!
وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ ما تَوْفِيقِي إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدْراً مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
and I entrust my matters to Allah [40:44] and my success is only with Allah. Upon Him do I rely [11:88] And one who relies upon Allah, so He would Suffice him. Surely, Allah would Accomplish His Command. He has Made a measure for all things [65:3]. Whatever Allah-azwj Desires, happens, ‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173].
وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ مِنْ هَمَزاتِ الشَّياطِينِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
And I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the Hearing, the Knowing, from the Pelted Satan-la, and from the suggestions of the Satans [23:97] And I seek refuge with You, Lord, from their presence [23:98], and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَثِيراً كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ مُسْتَحِقُّهُ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَ عِزِّ جَلَالِهِ عَلَى إِدْبَارِ اللَّيْلِ وَ إِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, a lot, just as He-azwj is rightful of it, and deserving of it, and just as it is befitting for the Honour of His-azwj Face, and Might of His-azwj Majesty upon the turning back of the night and advancing of the day.
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِاللَّيْلِ مُظْلِماً بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ جَاءَ بِالنَّهَارِ مُبْصِراً بِرَحْمَتِهِ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً وَ نَحْنُ فِي عَافِيَتِهِ وَ سَلَامَتِهِ وَ سِتْرِهِ وَ كِفَايَتِهِ وَ جَمِيلِ صُنْعِهِ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Goes with the dark night by His-azwj Power and Comes with the bright day by His-azwj Mercy as new creations, and we are in His-azwj well-being, and His-azwj safety, and His-azwj Veil, and His-azwj sufficiency, and beauty of His-azwj Making!
مَرْحَباً بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ الْيَوْمِ الْعَتِيدِ وَ الْمَلِكِ الشَّهِيدِ مَرْحَباً بِكُمَا مِنْ مَلَكَيْنِ كَرِيمَيْنِ وَ حَيَّاكُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ كَاتِبَيْنِ حَافِظَيْنِ أُشْهِدُكُمَا فَاشْهَدَا لِي وَ اكْتُبَا شَهَادَتِي هَذِهِ مَعَكُمَا حَتَّى أَلْقَى بِهَا رَبِّي
Welcome to the new creation of Allah-azwj, and the Prepared day, and the Witnessed day! Welcome to both of you Honourable Angels, and salutations to both of you Recording Angels! I keep you as witnesses, therefore be witnesses for me and write this testimony with you until I meet my Lord-azwj with it: –
إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَرْسَلَهُ بِالْهُدى وَ دِينِ الْحَقِّ لِيُظْهِرَهُ عَلَى الدِّينِ كُلِّهِ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ
I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww! He-azwj Sent him-saww with the Guidance and the Religion of Truth in order to prevail it upon all the Religions, and even if the Polytheists abhor it [61:9].
وَ أَنَّ الدِّينَ كَمَا شَرَعَ وَ أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ كَمَا وَصَفَ وَ الْقَوْلَ كَمَا حَدَّثَ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ وَ أَنَّ الرَّسُولَ حَقٌّ وَ الْقُرْآنَ حَقٌّ وَ الْمَوْتَ حَقٌّ وَ مُسَاءَلَةَ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيرٍ فِي الْقَبْرِ حَقٌّ وَ الْبَعْثَ حَقٌّ وَ الصِّرَاطَ حَقٌّ وَ الْمِيزَانَ حَقٌّ وَ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارَ حَقٌّ وَ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
And the religion just as He-azwj Legislated, and Al Islam is just as He-azwj Described, and the word is just as He-azwj Narrated, and surely Allah-azwj, He-azwj is the Manifest Truth, and the Rasool-saww is true, and the Quran is true, and the death is true, and questions of Munkar and Nakeer in the grave is true, and the Resurrection is true, and the Bridge is true, and the Scale is true, and the Paradise is true, and the Fire is true, And the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and that Allah will Resurrect the ones in the graves [22:7], Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww.
وَ اكْتُبِ اللَّهُمَّ شَهَادَتِي عِنْدَكَ مَعَ شَهَادَةِ أُوْلِي الْعِلْمِ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ وَ مَنْ أَبَى أَنْ يَشْهَدَ لَكَ بِهَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةِ وَ زَعَمَ أَنَّ لَكَ نِدّاً أَوْ لَكَ وَلَداً أَوْ لَكَ صَاحِبَةً أَوْ لَكَ شَرِيكاً أَوْ مَعَكَ خَالِقاً أَوْ رَازِقاً فَأَنَا بَرِيءٌ مِنْهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً
And write – O Allah-azwj! My testimony is with You-azwj with testimony of the ones with knowledge with You-azwj! O Lord-azwj, and the one who refuses to testify to you with this testimony and claims that there is a match for You-azwj, or a son for You-azwj, or a female companion for You-azwj, or an associate for You-azwj, or a creator with You-azwj or a sustainer, I hereby disavow from them! There is no god except You-azwj! Blessed are You-azwj and Exalted, from what the unjust ones are saying, Lofty, Great!
فَاكْتُبِ اللَّهُمَّ شَهَادَتِي مَكَانَ شَهَادَتِهِمْ وَ أَحْيِنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَمِتْنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ ابْعَثْنِي عَلَيْهِ- وَ أَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Write O Allah-azwj, my testimony in place of their testimonies, and Cause me to live upon that and Cause me to die upon it, and Resurrect me upon it, and Enter me with Your-azwj Mercy among Your-azwj righteous servants!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ صَبِّحْنِي مِنْكَ صَبَاحاً صَالِحاً مُبَارَكاً مَيْمُوناً لَا خَازِياً وَ لَا فَاضِحاً
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Accompany me with a righteous companion from You-azwj, Blessed, auspicious, neither disgraceful nor scandalous!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْمٍ أَوَّلُهُ فَزَعٌ وَ أَوْسَطُهُ جَزَعٌ وَ آخِرُهُ وَجَعٌ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make the beginning of this day of mine as righteous, and its middle as successful, and its end as winner, and I seek Refuge with You (s.w.t) from a day, it’s beginning is panic, and its middle is alarm, and its end is painful!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا قَبْلَهُ وَ خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا قَبْلَهُ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Grace me goodness of this day of mine, and goodness of what is in it, and goodness of what is before it, and goodness of what is after it, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from its evil, and evil of what is before it, and evil of what is after it!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْتَحْ لِي بَابَ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ فَتَحْتَهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْخَيْرِ وَ لَا تُغْلِقْهُ عَنِّي أَبَداً وَ أَغْلِقْ عَنِّي بَابَ كُلِّ شَرٍّ فَتَحْتَهُ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّرِّ وَ لَا تَفْتَحْهُ عَلَيَّ أَبَداً
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Open for me the door of every good You-azwj had Opened upon anyone from the good people, and do not Close it from me, ever, and Close from me the door of every good You-azwj had Opened to anyone from the evil people, and do not Open it to me, ever!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي كُلِّ مَوْطِنٍ وَ مَشْهَدٍ وَ مُقَامٍ وَ مَحَلٍّ وَ مُرْتَحَلٍ وَ فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Make me to be with Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww in every homeland, and scenario, and place, and location, and destination, and in every hardship and ease, and well-being and affliction!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مَغْفِرَةً عَزْماً جَزْماً لَا تُغَادِرْ لِي ذَنْباً وَ لَا خَطِيئَةً وَ لَا إِثْماً
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me a Determined Forgiveness, neither leaving any major sin for me nor minor sin, nor wrong-doing!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتُكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ فَخَالَطَهُ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ

وَ قَالَ الْكَفْعَمِيُّ فِي كِتَابَيْهِ إِنَّمَا سُمِّيَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ بِدُعَاءِ الْحَرِيقِ لِمَا رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبِي مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرَ ع يَقُولُ كُنْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع بِقُبَا يَعُودُ شَيْخاً مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ إِذَا أَتَى أَبِي ع آتٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُ الْحَقْ دَارَكَ فَقَدِ احْتَرَقَتْ-
And Al-Kaf’amy said in his book, ‘But rather this supplication has been named as ‘Dua Al-Hareeq’ due to what is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws. He-asws said: ‘I-asws heard my-asws father-asws Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir-asws saying: ‘I-asws was with my-asws father Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn‑asws at Quba consoling an old man from the Helpers came to my-asws father-asws and said to him-asws, ‘Go to your house for it has been incinerated!’
فَقَالَ ع لَمْ تَحْتَرِقْ
He-asws said: ‘It has not been incinerated!’
فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ عَادَ وَ قَالَ قَدِ احْتَرَقَتْ
He went, then returned and said, ‘It has been burnt down!’
فَقَالَ أَبِي ع وَ اللَّهِ مَا احْتَرَقَتْ
My-asws father-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj, It has not been burnt down!’
فَذَهَبَ ثُمَّ عَادَ وَ مَعَهُ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِنَا وَ مَوَالِينَا وَ هُمْ يَبْكُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ لِأَبِي قَدِ احْتَرَقَتْ دَارُكَ
He went, then returned and there was a group from our people and our friends with him, and they were crying and saying to my-asws father-asws, ‘Your-asws house has been burnt down!’
فَقَالَ كَلَّا وَ اللَّهِ مَا احْتَرَقَتْ وَ إِنِّي بِرَبِّي أَوْثَقُ مِنْكُمْ
He-asws said: ‘Never, by Allah-azwj, it has not burned down, and I-asws am more trusting with my‑asws Lord-azwj than you all!’
ثُمَّ انْكَشَفَ الْأَمْرُ عَنِ احْتِرَاقِ جَمِيعِ مَا حَوْلَ الدَّارِ إِلَّا هِيَ فَقَالَ أَبِي الْبَاقِرُ ع لِأَبِيهِ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع مَا هَذَا
Then the matter was uncovered about the burning down of entirety of what was around the house, except it. My-asws father-asws Al-Baqir-asws said to his-asws father-asws Zayn Al Abideen-asws: ‘What is this?’
فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ شَيْءٌ نَتَوَارَثُهُ مِنْ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّ ص هُوَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَا فِيهَا مِنَ الْمَالِ وَ الْجَوَاهِرِ وَ الْأَمْلَاكِ وَ أَعَدُّ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ السِّلَاحِ وَ هُوَ سِرٌّ أَتَى بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص
He-asws said: ‘O my-asws son-asws! It is something we-asws have inherited from knowledge of the Prophet-saww. It is more beloved to me-asws than the world and whatever in it from the wealth, and the gems, and the property, and the number of men and the weapon, and it is a secret Jibraeel-as came with to the Prophet-saww.
فَعَلَّمَهُ عَلِيّاً وَ ابْنَتَهُ فَاطِمَةَ وَ تَوَارَثْنَا نَحْنُ وَ هُوَ الدُّعَاءُ الْكَامِلُ الَّذِي مَنْ قَدَّمَهُ أَمَامَهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ وَكَّلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى بِهِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَحْفَظُونَهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ حَشَمِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ أَهْلِ عِنَايَتِهِ مِنَ الْحَرَقِ وَ الْغَرَقِ وَ الشَّرَقِ وَ الْهَدْمِ وَ الرَّدْمِ وَ الْخَسْفِ وَ الْقَذْفِ
He-saww taught it to Ali-asws and his-asws daughter-asws (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and we-asws have inherited it, and it is the perfect supplication which one who advances it in front of him every day, Allah-azwj will Allocate a thousand Angels with him protecting him regarding himself, and his wife, and his children, and his servants, and his wealth, and people of his care, from the burning and the drowning, and the lightning, and being crushed, and being wrecked, and submergence, and the defamation.
وَ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ السُّلْطَانِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ وَ كَانَ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَ ضَمَانِهِ وَ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى قِرَاءَتِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مُخْلِصاً مُوقِناً ثَوَابَ مِائَةِ صِدِّيقٍ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
And Allah-azwj the Exalted will Secure him from evil of the Satan-la, and the ruler, and from evil of every one with evil, and he would be in the Security of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Guarantee, and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Give him upon his recitation, and if he were to be sincere, convinced, Rewards of a hundred truthful ones, and if he dies during his day, he will enter the Paradise.
فَاحْفَظْ يَا بُنَيَّ وَ لَا تُعَلِّمْهُ إِلَّا بِمَنْ تَثِقُ بِهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَسْأَلُ مُحِقٌّ بِهِ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Preserve, O my-asws son-asws, and do not teach it except to the one you-asws trust with, for the one who is rightful with it will ask with anything except Allah-azwj the Exalted will Give him’’.[70]

Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]. But if they turn back, say: ‘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].
فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ- فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حافِظاً وَ هُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ- إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً
And Allah will Suffice you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [2:137] But, Allah is the best Protector, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful ones [12:64] Surely, Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving’ [35:41].
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِاللَّيْلِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ جَاءَ بِالنَّهَارِ مُبْصِراً بِرَحْمَتِهِ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً وَ نَحْنُ فِي عَافِيَةٍ مِنْهُ بِمَنِّهِ وَ جُودِهِ وَ كَرَمِهِ مَرْحَباً بِالْحَافِظَيْنِ وَ تَلْتَفِتُ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ
The Praise is for Allah -azwj Who Takes Away the night by His-azwj Power and Returns the bright day by His-azwj Mercy as a new creation, and we are in well-being from Him-azwj with His-azwj Conferment, and His-azwj Generosity and the Benevolence. Welcome to the two preservers (recording Angels)!’
وَ تَقُولُ وَ حَيَّاكُمَا اللَّهُ مِنْ كَاتِبَيْنِ وَ تَلْتَفِتُ عَنْ شِمَالِكَ وَ تَقُولُ اكْتُبَا رَحِمَكُمَا اللَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
And you should say, ‘And may Allah-azwj Keep you well from the scribes!’, and you should turn from your left and say, ‘Write, may Allah-azwj Mercy you both, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ حَقٌ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَحْيَا وَ عَلَيْهِ أَمُوتُ وَ عَلَيْهِ أُبْعَثُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَقْرِئَا مُحَمَّداً ص مِنِّي السَّلَامَ
And I testify that the Hour is true, it shall come. There is no doubt in it, and Allah-azwj will Resurrect ones in the grave. I live upon that and I shall die upon that, and I shall be Resurrected upon that, if Allah-azwj so Desires. Convey the greetings to Muhammad-saww from me!
أَصْبَحْتُ فِي جِوَارِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ فِي كَنَفِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ فِي سُلْطَانِهِ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَطَاعُ وَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تُخْفَرُ وَ فِي عِزَّةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا يُقْهَرُ وَ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ الْمَنِيعِ وَ فِي وَدَائِعِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تَضِيعُ وَ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ لِلَّهِ جَاراً فَهُوَ آمِنٌ مَحْفُوظٌ

I have become not associating anything with Allah-azwj, and not supplication to any god with Him-azwj, nor takin besides Him-azwj a guardian nor helper. Say: ‘Surely no one can ever protect me from Allah, and I will never find a shelter from besides Him’ [72:22]. Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj my Lord-azwj is True. I do not associate anything with Allah-azwj, the Mightier, and the Exalted, and more Powerful than what I fear and am cautious of, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Mighty!
اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا ذَهَبْتَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ أَقْبَلْتَ بِالنَّهَارِ خَلْقاً جَدِيداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ آيَةً بَيِّنَةً مِنْ آيَاتِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي فِيهِ كُلَّ غَمٍّ وَ هَمٍّ وَ حُزْنٍ وَ مَكْرُوهٍ وَ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ مِحْنَةٍ وَ مُلِمَّةٍ وَ أَقْبِلْ إِلَيَّ بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْعَفْوِ وَ التَّوْبَةِ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي كُلَّ مَعَرَّةٍ وَ مَضَرَّةٍ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْعَفْوِ وَ التَّوْبَةِ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ جُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ

أُولئِكَ الَّذِينَ طَبَعَ اللَّهُ عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ سَمْعِهِمْ وَ أَبْصارِهِمْ- وَ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْغافِلُونَ-
They are those Allah Sealed upon their hearts and their hearing and their sight, and those, they are the heedless ones [16:108].
أَ فَرَأَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ إِلهَهُ هَواهُ وَ أَضَلَّهُ اللَّهُ عَلى عِلْمٍ وَ خَتَمَ عَلى سَمْعِهِ وَ قَلْبِهِ وَ جَعَلَ عَلى بَصَرِهِ غِشاوَةً فَمَنْ يَهْدِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ اللَّهِ أَ فَلا تَذَكَّرُونَ-
So, do you see one who takes his desires as a god, and Allah Lets him stray upon knowledge and Seals upon his hearing and his heart, and Makes a covering to be upon his sight? Then who can guide him after Allah (has Denied him)? So will you not be mindful? [45:23]
وَ إِذا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ جَعَلْنا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ حِجاباً مَسْتُوراً وَ جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِذا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْا عَلى أَدْبارِهِمْ نُفُوراً- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
And whenever you recite the Quran, We Make a hidden veil to be between you and those who are no believing in the Hereafter [17:45] And We Make a covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a heaviness to be in their ears. And whenever you mention your Lord in the Quran as being One, they turn around upon their backs in aversion [17:46] The Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2].
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي بِهِ تَقُومُ السَّمَاءُ وَ بِهِ تَقُومُ الْأَرْضُ وَ بِهِ تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ وَ بِهِ تَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الْمُتَفَرِّقِ وَ بِهِ تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْمُجْتَمِعِ وَ بِهِ أَحْصَيْتَ عَدَدَ الرِّمَالِ وَ زِنَةَ الْجِبَالِ وَ كَيْلَ الْبِحَارِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
O Allah-azwj! I hereby ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name by which You-azwj Established the sky, and You-azwj Established the earth by it, and You-azwj Separated between the truth and the falsehood by it, and You-azwj Gathered between the separated ones by it, and You-azwj Separated between the united ones by it, and You-azwj Count the number of the grains of sand by it, and weight of the mountains, and measurement of the oceans, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and to Make relief for me from my affairs, and an outlet. You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[72]

(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who wants to enter the Paradise from whichever door he so desires and for (the testimony) ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww Rasool-Allah-saww’ to be in his book (register of deeds), let him say every day as follow-up of the morning Salat, الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِاللَّيْلِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَقْرِئَا مُحَمَّداً مِنِّي السَّلَامَ
‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Brings Forth the night by His-azwj Word’ – up to his words – ‘Convey the greetings to Muhammad-saww from me!’’[73]
47- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ غَيْرُهَا مِنْ أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ حِفْظِي وَ كَلَاءَتِي وَ مَعُونَتِي فَلْيَقُلْ عِنْدَ صَبَاحِهِ وَ مَسَائِهِ وَ نَوْمِهِ-
(The books) ‘Falah Al Saail’, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, and ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh and others –
‘From the secret supplications, “And one from your-saww community wants My-azwj Protection, and My-azwj Care, and My-azwj Assistance, let him say during his morning, and his evening, and his sleep time: –
آمَنْتُ بِرَبِّي وَ هُوَ اللَّهُ إِلَهُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ عِلْمٍ وَ وَارِثُهُ وَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ أُشْهِدُ اللَّهَ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِالْعُبُودِيَّةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الصَّغَارِ وَ أَعْتَرِفُ بِحُسْنِ صَنَائِعِ اللَّهِ إِلَيَّ وَ أَبُوءُ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِقِلَّةِ الشُّكْرِ
‘I believe in my Lord-azwj, and He-azwj is Allah-azwj, God-azwj of all things, and Ultimate of every knowledge and its Inheritor, and Lord-azwj of all things, and I keep Allah-azwj as Witness upon myself with the servitude, and the humiliation, and the belittling, and I acknowledge the goodly Making of Allah-azwj to me, and I blame upon myself due to lack of thanks!
وَ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ بِحَقِّ مَا يَرَاهُ لَهُ حَقّاً عَلَى مَا يَرَاهُ مِنِّي لَهُ رِضًا وَ إِيمَاناً وَ إِخْلَاصاً وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ إِيقَاناً بِلَا شَكٍّ وَ لَا ارْتِيَابٍ
And I ask Allah-azwj during this day of mine and this night of mine, by the right of what He-azwj Sees having right for Him-azwj, upon what He-azwj Sees from me having Satisfaction for Him-azwj, and Eman, and Ikhlaas, and vast sustenance, and certainty without doubt nor suspicion!
حَسْبِي إِلَهِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ هُوَ دُونَهُ وَ اللَّهُ وَكِيلٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مَنْ سِوَاهُ آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِمَا فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
My-azwj God-azwj Suffices me from every one who is besides Him-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Protector upon every one besides Him-azwj! I believe in the secret Knowledge of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Announcements, and I seek Refuge with what is in the Knowledge of Allah-azwj from every evil!
سُبْحَانَ الْعَالِمِ بِمَا خَلَقَ اللَّطِيفِ الْمُحْصِي لَهُ الْقَادِرِ عَلَيْهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ.
Glorious is the Knowledgeable due to what He-azwj has Created, the Subtle, the Counter of it, the Powerful upon it! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. There is no strength except with Allah‑azwj, and I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and the destination is to Him-azwj!’’[74]
48- الْكَافِي، وَ الْفَقِيهُ، بِإِسْنَادِهِمَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْفَرَجِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الرِّضَا ع بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ عَلَّمَنِيهِ وَ قَالَ مَنْ دَعَا بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ لَمْ يَلْتَمِسْ حَاجَةً إِلَّا يُسِّرَتْ لَهُ وَ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا أَهَمَّهُ-
(The books) ‘Al Kafi’, and ‘Al Faqeeh’, by their chains from Muhammad Bin Al Faraj,
‘He said, ‘Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali Al-Reza-asws wrote to me with this supplication and I learnt it, and he-asws said: ‘One who supplicates with it after Al-Fajr Salat, will not seek a need except it will be eased for him and Allah-azwj will Suffice him of what worries him: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ- وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبادِ فَوَقاهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئاتِ ما مَكَرُوا-
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj, and Send Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and I entrust my matters to Allah, surely Allah Sees the servants’ [40:44] So Allah Saved him from the evil of what they planned, and there befell with the people of Pharaoh, the most evil of the Punishment [40:45].
لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَاسْتَجَبْنا لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْناهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ كَذلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ-
There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87] So We Answered for him and Delivered him from the grief, and like that do We Deliver the Momineen [21:88]
حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا مَا شَاءَ النَّاسُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ إِنْ كَرِهَ النَّاسُ
‘Allah is Sufficient for us and the most excellent Protector’ [3:173] So they returned with a Favour from Allah and (His) Grace. No evil touched them [3:174]. Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, not what the people desires! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires and even if the people dislikes!
حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمَرْبُوبِينَ حَسْبِيَ الْخَالِقُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
The Lord-azwj Suffices me from the lords! The Creator Suffices me from the creators! The Sustainer Suffices me from the sustained ones! He-azwj Suffices me, Who does not cease to be! He-azwj Suffices me! ‘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]’’.[75]
وَ فِي الْكَافِي، مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الَّذِي لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي مُنْذُ قَطُّ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Kafi’ – ‘From the sustained ones. He-azwj Suffices me, Who does not cease to be! He-azwj Suffices me since ever! Allah-azwj Suffices me Who, there is no god except He‑azwj!’’[76]
عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، عَنْهُ ع مِثْلَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ حَسْبِي مَنْ هُوَ حَسْبِي حَسْبِي مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي مَنْ كَانَ مُنْذُ كُنْتُ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ إلخ.
(The book) ‘Uddat Al-Daie’ – ‘From him-asws, similar to it up to his-asws words: ‘The Sustainer Suffices me from the sustained ones! Allah-azwj Suffices me, Lord-azwj of the worlds! He-azwj Suffices me, One-azwj Who is Sufficient for me! He-azwj Suffices me, One-azwj does not cease to be! He-azwj Suffices me, One-azwj did not cease to be since I existed! Sufficient, Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj’ – etc.’’.[77]

(The book) ‘Al Faqeeh’ – By his correct chain from Hafs Bin Al Bakhtari who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww was saying after Al-Fajr Salat: ‘O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the worries, and the grief, and the frustration, and the laziness, and the miserliness, and the cowardice, and the burden of debt, and overcoming by the men, and ruination of the beauty, and the slips, and the cruelty, and the illness, and the destitution!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ
And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a soul not getting satiated, and from a heart nor being fearful, and from an eye not shedding tears, and from a supplication not being heard, and from Salat not benefitting!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنِ امْرَأَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِي قَبْلَ أَوَانِ مَشِيبِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ رَبّاً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ عَذَاباً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ خَدِيعَةٍ إِنْ رَأَى حَسَنَةً دَفَنَهَا وَ إِنْ رَأَى سَيِّئَةً أَفْشَاهَا
And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a woman ageing me before the time of my old age, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a son being a lord over me, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from weal being a torment upon me, and I seek refuge with You-azwj from a deceitful person, if he sees a good deed (from me) he buries it (conceals), and if he sees an evil deed (from me) he spreads it!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ عَلَيَّ يَداً وَ لَا مِنَّةً.
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make a hand (favour) to be for an immoral one upon me nor any conferment!’’[78]

(The book) ‘Al Faqeeh’ – It is reported by a number of our companions,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘My-asws father-asws was saying whenever he-asws prayed the morning Salat: ‘O One-azwj Who is closer to me than the jugular vein! O One-azwj Who Intervenes between the person and his heart! O One-azwj Who is with the Exalted Scenery! O One-azwj, there isn’t anything life Him-azwj and He-azwj is the Hearing, the Knowing!
يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَ يَا أَوْسَعَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَ يَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَ يَا أَفْضَلَ مُرْتَجَا وَ يَا أَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا أَبْصَرَ النَّاظِرِينَ وَ يَا خَيْرَ النَّاصِرِينَ وَ يَا أَسْرَعَ الْحَاسِبِينَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ يَا أَحْكَمَ الْحَاكِمِينَ
O More generous than begging ones, and O most Capacious of the giving ones, and O best of the ones supplicated to, and O best of the ones giving refuge, and O most Listening of the listeners, and O most Insightful of the Insightful ones, and O best of the beholders, and O quickest of the reckoners, and O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and O most judicial of the judges!

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Expand upon me regarding my sustenance, and Extend for me in my lifespan, and Spread upon me from Your-azwj Mercy, and Make me from the ones You-azwj are Helped with for Your-azwj religion, and do not Replace others with me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِرِزْقِي وَ رِزْقِ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ فَأَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى عِيَالِي مِنْ رِزْقِكَ الْوَاسِعِ الْحَلَالِ وَ اكْفِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have Taken responsibility with my sustenance and sustenance of every animal, therefore Expand upon me and upon my dependants from Your-azwj vast Permissible sustenance, and Suffice us from the poverty!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِالْحَافِظَيْنِ وَ حَيَّاكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ كَاتِبَيْنِ اكْتُبَا رَحِمَكُمَا اللَّهُ أَنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الدِّينَ كَمَا شَرَعَ وَ أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ كَمَا وَصَفَ وَ أَنَّ الْكِتَابَ كَمَا أَنْزَلَ وَ أَنَّ الْقَوْلَ كَمَا حَدَّثَ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ
Then he should say, ‘Welcome to the two recorders and may Allah-azwj Cause you both to live from the scribes! Write, may Allah-azwj Mercy you, I testify that there is no god except Allah‑azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and I testify that the religion is just as He-azwj Legislated, and Al-Islam is just as He-azwj Described, and the Book is just as He-azwj Revealed, and the Word is just as He‑azwj Narrated, and Allah-azwj, He-azwj is the Manifest Truth!
اللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ أَفْضَلَ التَّحِيَّةِ وَ أَفْضَلَ الصَّلَاةِ-
O Allah-azwj! Deliver to Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, best of the salutations and the best Salawaat!
أَصْبَحْتُ وَ رَبِّي مَحْمُودٌ أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئاً وَ لَا أَدْعُو مَعَ اللَّهِ أَحَداً وَ لَا أَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيّاً أَصْبَحْتُ عَبْداً مَمْلُوكاً لَا أَمْلِكُ إِلَّا مَا مَلَّكَنِي رَبِّي
I have become, and my Lord-azwj is Praised! I have become not associating anything with Allah‑azwj nor do I supplicate to anyone with Allah-azwj, not do I take any guardian from besides Him-azwj! I have become a servant, a slave not owning (anything) except what my Lord-azwj has Caused me to own!
أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ أَسُوقَ إِلَى نَفْسِي خَيْرَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ شَرَّ مَا أَحْذَرُ أَصْبَحْتُ مُرْتَهَناً بِعَمَلِي وَ أَصْبَحْتُ فَقِيراً لَا أَجِدُ أَفْقَرَ مِنِّي بِاللَّهِ أُصْبِحُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أُمْسِي وَ بِاللَّهِ أَحْيَا وَ بِاللَّهِ أَمُوتُ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ النُّشُورُ.
I have become not capable of ushering good to myself what I am hoping for, nor turn away any evil from it what I am being cautious of! I have become pledged with my deeds, and I have become so poor, I cannot find anyone poorer with Allah-azwj than me! I have become such and I come to the evening with Allah-azwj, and I live by Allah-azwj, and I shall die for Allah-azwj, and to Allah-azwj is the Resurrection!’’[79]

(The books) ‘Al Faqeeh’, and ‘Al Makarim’, and ‘Al Zikra’ – from Misma’a Bin Kirdeyn having said,
‘I prayed Salat with Abu Abdullah-asws for forty mornings. It was so, whenever he-asws ended, he-asws raised his-asws hands towards the sky and said, ‘We have come to the morning, and the Kingdom has become for Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! We are Your-azwj slaves and sons of Your-azwj slaves!

O Allah-azwj! Protect us from where we are protecting and from where we are not protecting. O Allah-azwj! Guard us from where we are guarding and from where we are not guarding. O Allah-azwj! Veil us from where we are veiling and from where we are not veiling. O Allah-azwj! Veil us with the riches and the well-being! O Allah-azwj! Grace us the well-being, and constant well-being, and Grace us the thanking upon the well-being!’’[80]
52 الْكَافِي، فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ التَّسْبِيحِ فَقَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ شَيْئاً مُوَظَّفاً غَيْرَ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ عَشْرِ مَرَّاتٍ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ يُسَبِّحُ مَا شَاءَ تَطَوُّعاً.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – In the ‘Saheeh’ (correct Hadeeth), from Muhammad Bin Muslim who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the glorification. He-asws said: ‘I-asws don’t know of anything more beneficial than glorification of Fatima-asws, and ten times after Al-Fajr (saying), ‘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, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’, and he can glorify whatever he so desires voluntarily’’.[81]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً خَالِداً مَعَ خُلُودِكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً لَا مُنْتَهَى لَهُ دُونَ رِضَاكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً لَا أَمَدَ لَهُ دُونَ مَشِيَّتِكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً لَا أَجْرَ لِقَائِلِهِ إِلَّا رِضَاكَ
And from him, from the number, from Al Barqy, from one of his companions raising it, said,
‘You should say after Al-Fajr (Salat), ‘O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj it the Praise, eternal Praise with Your-azwj Eternality, and for You-azwj is the Praise, a Praise having not end to it less that Your‑azwj Satisfaction, and for You-azwj is the Praise, a Praise having not term for it besides Your-azwj Desire, and for You-azwj is the Praise, a Praise having no Recompense for its speaker except Your-azwj Satisfaction!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَى وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, and to You-azwj is the complaint, and You-azwj are the Helper!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بِمَحَامِدِهِ كُلِّهَا عَلَى نَعْمَائِهِ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ الْحَمْدُ إِلَى حَيْثُ مَا يُحِبُّ رَبِّي وَ يَرْضَى
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise just as You-azwj are rightful of! The Praise is for Allah-azwj it all its praises upon His-azwj bounties, all of them, until the Praise ends to whereby whatever my Lord-azwj Loves and is Satisfied with!’
وَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْفَجْرِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَتَكَلَّمَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِلْءَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرِّضَا وَ زِنَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِلْءَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرِّضَا وَ زِنَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مِلْءَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرِّضَا وَ زِنَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مِلْءَ الْمِيزَانِ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرِّضَا وَ زِنَةَ الْعَرْشِ يُعِيدُ ذَلِكَ أَرْبَعَ مَرَّاتٍ
And you should say after Al-Fajr before you talk (to anyone), ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, filling the Scale, and the ultimate Satisfaction, and weight of the Throne! And Glory be for Allah-azwj filling the Scale, and the ultimate Satisfaction, and weight of the Throne! And Allah-azwj is Greatest filling the Scale and the ultimate Satisfaction, and weight of the Throne! And there is no god except Allah-azwj filling the Scale and the ultimate Satisfaction, and weight of the Throne!’ – four times.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَسْأَلُكَ مَسْأَلَةَ الْعَبْدِ الذَّلِيلِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لَنَا ذَنْبَنَا وَ تَقْضِيَ لَنَا حَوَائِجَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ.
Then he should say, ‘I ask You-azwj begging of the humble slave, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Forgive our sins for us, and to Fulfil our needs for us in the world and the Hereafter in ease from You-azwj and well-being’’.[82]

(The book) ‘Ikhtiyar’ of Ibn Al Baqi,
‘From Salman Al-Farsi-ra having said: ‘I-ra saw written upon the belt of the sword of Amir Al-Momineen, so I-ra said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! What is this writing upon your-asws sword?’
فَقَالَ هَذِهِ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ كَلِمَةً عَلَّمَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ فَتُحِبُّ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَكَ إِيَّاهَا فَتُحْفَظَ فِي سَفَرِكَ وَ حَضَرِكَ وَ لَيْلِكَ وَ نَهَارِكَ وَ مَالِكَ وَ وُلْدِكَ
He-asws said: ‘These are eleven phrases Rasool-Allah-saww had taught me-asws! Would you-ra like me-asws to teach you-asws these, so you-ra can be protected in your-ra journey, and staying, and night, and day, and wealth, and children?’
فَقُلْتُ نَعَمْ-
I-ra said: ‘Yes’.
فَقَالَ ع إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الصُّبْحَ وَ فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاتِكَ فَقُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا عَالِماً بِكُلِّ خَفِيَّةٍ يَا مَنِ السَّمَاءُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ مَبْنِيَّةٌ يَا مَنِ الْأَرْضُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ مَدْحِيَّةٌ يَا مَنِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ بِنُورِ جَلَالِهِ مُضِيئَةٌ
He-asws said: ‘When you-asws have prayed the morning Salat and are free from your-asws Salat, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Knower of every hidden matter! O One-azwj the sky was Built by His-azwj Power! O One-azwj the earth was Spread by His-azwj Power! O One-azwj, the sun and the moon are illuminating by the Light of His-azwj Majesty!

O One-azwj, the oceans are flowing by His-azwj Power! O Rescuer of Yusuf-as from the bondage of servitude! O One-azwj Turning away every scourge and affliction! O One-azwj the needs of the beggars are fulfilled with Him-azwj! O One-azwj there isn’t any guard to overcome nor any minister to bribe!

(The book) ‘Al Majazaat Al Nabawiya’ of the Seyyid Razy Al Deen –
‘From that are his-saww words: ‘One who says when it is morning, ‘There is no god except Allah‑azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things’ – ten times, Allah-azwj will Write ten good deeds for him with every once he says it, and Drop off ten evil deeds from him with it, and Raise ten ranks (for him) due to it, and be a shield for him from beginning of his day up to its end, and no one will coerce any action on that day (upon him)’’.[85]
باب 66 سجدة الشكر و فضلها و ما يقرأ فيها و آدابها
CHAPTER 66 – SAJDAH OF THANKS, AND ITS MERIT, AND WHAT IS RECITED IN IT, AND ITS ETIQUETTES
1- الْإِحْتِجَاجُ، كَتَبَ الْحِمْيَرِيُّ إِلَى الْقَائِمِ ع يَسْأَلُهُ عَنْ سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَإِنَّ بَعْضَ أَصْحَابِنَا ذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا بِدْعَةٌ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَهَا الرَّجُلُ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ إِنْ جَازَ فَفِي صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ هِيَ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ أَوْ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتِ النَّافِلَةِ
(The book) ‘Al-Ihtijaj’ –
‘Al-Himeyri wrote to Al-Qaim-ajfj asking him-ajfj about Sajdah of thanks after the obligatory (Salat), ‘Some of our companions are saying it is an innovation. Is it allowed for the man to perform it after the obligatory (Salat), and if it is allowed, so in Al-Maghrib Salat is it after the obligatory (Salat) of after the four Cycles optional?’
فَأَجَابَ ع سَجْدَةُ الشُّكْرِ مِنْ أَلْزَمِ السُّنَنِ وَ أَوْجَبِهَا وَ لَمْ يَقُلْ إِنَّ هَذِهِ السَّجْدَةَ بِدْعَةٌ إِلَّا مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُحْدِثَ فِي دِينِ اللَّهِ بِدْعَةً
He-ajfj answered: ‘Sajdah of thank is from the necessary Sunnah(s) and its obligations, and he will not say that this Sajdah is an innovation except the one who intends to innovate an innovation in the religion of Allah-azwj!
وَ أَمَّا الْخَبَرُ الْمَرْوِيُّ فِيهَا بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الِاخْتِلَافُ فِي أَنَّهَا بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ أَوْ بَعْدَ الْأَرْبَعِ فَإِنَّ فَضْلَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ التَّسْبِيحِ بَعْدَ الْفَرَائِضِ عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ بِعَقِيبِ النَّوَافِلِ كَفَضْلِ الْفَرَائِضِ عَلَى النَّوَافِلِ وَ السَّجْدَةُ دُعَاءٌ وَ تَسْبِيحٌ وَ الْأَفْضَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ الْفَرْضِ فَإِنْ جُعِلَتْ بَعْدَ النَّوَافِلِ أَيْضاً جَازَ.
And as for the Hadeeth reported regarding it being after Salat Al-Maghrib and the differing regarding whether it is after the three or after the four (Cycles), the merit of the supplication and the glorification after the Obligatory (Salats) upon the supplication being a follow-up of the optional (Salat), is like merit of the obligatory upon the optional (Salats), and the Sajdah is a supplication and a glorification, and the better is that it should be after the obligation. If it is made to be after the optional (Salat) is also allowed’’.[86]
بيان: رَوَاهُ الشَّيْخُ عَنْ حَفْصٍ الْجَوْهَرِيِ قَالَ: صَلَّى أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَسَجَدَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ بَعْدَ السَّابِعَةِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ كَانَ آبَاؤُكَ يَسْجُدُونَ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثَةِ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ آبَائِهِ يَسْجُدُ إِلَّا بَعْدَ السَّبْعِ.
Explanation – The Sheykh reported if from Hafs Al-Jawhari who said, ‘Abu Al-Hassan Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws prays Al-Maghrib Salat. He-asws performed Sajdah, the Sajdah of thanks, after the seventh (Cycle). I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! You-asws forefathers‑asws have been doing Sajdah (of thanks) after the third (cycle)!’ He-asws said there was no one from his-asws forefathers-asws performing Sajdah (of thanks) except after the seventh (Cycle)’’.
وَ قَدْ رَوَى جَوَازَ التَّقْدِيمِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ جَهْمُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْمَةَ قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ قَدْ سَجَدَ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثِ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ رَأَيْتُكَ سَجَدْتَ بَعْدَ الثَّلَاثِ فَقَالَ وَ رَأَيْتَنِي قُلْتُ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَلَا تَدَعْهَا فَإِنَّ الدُّعَاءَ فِيهَا مُسْتَجَابٌ.
And permission of advancing after Al-Maghrib has been reported by Jahm Bin Abayy Jahma who said, ‘I saw Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws and he-asws performed Sajdah after three Cycles of Al-Maghrib (Salat). I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! I saw you-asws doing Sajdah after the three (Cycles)!’ He-asws said: ‘And you saw me-asws?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He-asws said: ‘Do not leave it, for the supplication in it is Answered!’’
2- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الْقَطَّانِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الزَّعْفَرَانِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْعَبْدِيِّ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْكُوفَةِ فَإِذَا أَنَا بِرَجُلٍ عِنْدَ أسطوانة [الْأُسْطُوَانَةِ] السَّابِعَةِ قَائِماً يُصَلِّي يُحْسِنُ رُكُوعَهُ وَ سُجُودَهُ فَجِئْتُ لِأَنْظُرَ إِلَيْهِ فَسَبَقَنِي إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ-
(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin al Fazl, from Muhammad Bin Ammar Al Qattan, from Al Husayn Bin Ali Al Zafrany, from Ismail Bin Ibrahim Al Abdy, from Sahl, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Sumali who said,
‘I entered Masjid Al-Kufa. There I was with a man by its seventh pillar, standing praying Salat, being excellent in his Ruk’u and its Sajdah. I went to look at him, but he preceded me to the Sajdah. I heard him saying in his Sajdah: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَقَدْ أَطَعْتُكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ الْإِيمَانُ بِكَ مَنّاً مِنْكَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ لَا مَنَّ بِهِ مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! Even though I may have disobeyed You-azwj, I have obeyed You-azwj in the thing most Beloved to You-azwj, and it is the Eman with You-azwj, being a conferment from You-azwj upon me with it, not a conferment from me upon You-azwj with it!
وَ لَمْ أَعْصِكَ فِي أَبْغَضِ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ لَمْ أَدْعُ لَكَ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ لَكَ شَرِيكاً مَنّاً مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ لَا مَنَّ مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ
And I did not disobey You-azwj in the things most Hateful to You-azwj (i.e.,) I neither claim there being a son for You-azwj nor did I take there being an associate for You-azwj, being a conferment from You-azwj upon me, nor a conferment from me upon You-azwj.
وَ عَصَيْتُكَ فِي أَشْيَاءَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مُكَاثَرَةٍ وَ لَا مُكَابَرَةٍ وَ لَا اسْتِكْبَارٍ عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ لَا جُحُودٍ لِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ وَ لَكِنِ اتَّبَعْتُ هَوَايَ وَ أَضَلَّنِي الشَّيْطَانُ بَعْدَ الْحُجَّةِ وَ الْبَيَانِ فَإِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَبِذَنْبِي غَيْرَ ظَالِمٍ لِي وَ إِنْ تَرْحَمْنِي فَبِجُودِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And I disobeyed you-azwj in things without being upon frequenting, nor arrogance, nor haughtiness from worshipping You-azwj, nor in rejection of Your-azwj Lordship, but I pursued my whims and the Satan-la strayed me after the proof and the explanation. Thus, if You-azwj were to Punish me, it would be due to my sins without being unjust to me, and if You-azwj were to Mercy me, it would be due to Your-azwj generosity and Your-azwj Mercy, O most merciful of the Merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ انْفَتَلَ وَ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَابِ كِنْدَةَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ حَتَّى أَتَى مُنَاخَ الْكَلْبِيِّينَ فَمَرَّ بِأَسْوَدَ فَأَمَرَهُ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا
Then he finished and exited from ‘Kindah’ door until he came to ‘Munakh Al Kalbeyyein’. He passed by a slave and instructed him with something I did not understand. I said (to the slave), ‘Who is this?’
فَقَالَ هَذَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع
He said, ‘This is Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws!’
فَقُلْتُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ مَا أَقْدَمَكَ هَذَا الْمَوْضِعَ
I said, ‘May Allah-azwj Make me your-asws ransom! What made you-asws come to this place?’
فَقَالَ هَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ.
He-asws said: ‘This which you saw’’.[87]
بيان: الذي رأيت أي الصلاة في هذا المسجد و لعل عدم ذكر زيارة أبيه و جده ع للتقية لأنهما كانتا أهم.
Explanation – ‘This which you saw’ – i.e., Praying the Salat in this Masjid, and perhaps lack of mention of visitation of his-asws father-asws and his-asws grandfather-asws is due to the Taqiyyah (dissimulation), because they-asws were both more important.
أَقُولُ وَ رَوَى هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ فِي الْمَكَارِمِ عَنْهُ ع مُرْسَلًا قَالَ وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ وَ سَاقَ الدُّعَاءَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ تَرَكْتُ مَعْصِيَتَكَ فِي أَبْغَضِ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ أَنْ أَدْعُوَ لَكَ وَلَداً وَ أَدْعُوَ لَكَ شَرِيكاً
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘And this supplication is reported in ‘Al-Makarim’ from him-asws with an unbroken chain having said: ‘And Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws was saying in his-asws Sajdah’ – and he-asws continued the supplication up to his-asws words: ‘And I neglected disobeying You-azwj in the things most Hateful to you-azwj, and it is if I-asws did not claim there being a son for You-azwj and claiming there be an associate for You-azwj!’
إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ عَصَيْتُكَ فِي أَشْيَاءَ عَلَى غَيْرِ وَجْهِ مُكَابَرَةٍ وَ لَا مُعَانَدَةٍ وَ لَا اسْتِكْبَارٍ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ اسْتَزَلَّنِي الشَّيْطَانُ بَعْدَ الْحُجَّةِ وَ الْبُرْهَانِ فَإِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَبِذُنُوبِي.
Up to his-asws words: ‘And I disobeyed You-azwj in things upon without an arrogant face, nor obstinacy, nor haughtiness’ – up to his-asws words, ‘And the Satan-la made me slip after the argument and the proof. Thus, if You-azwj were to Punish me it would be due to my sins’’.

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of al Sadouq – from Ibn Al Mutawakkil, from Al Sa’dabady, from Al Barqy, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘While Rasool-Allah-saww was travelling with one of his‑saww companions in one of streets of Al-Medina, when he-saww folded his-saww legs from his‑saww animal (to dismount), then he-saww fell in Sajdah, and prolonged (it). Then he-saww raised his-saww head, then repeated, then rode.
فَقَالَ لَهُ أَصْحَابُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ ثَنَيْتَ رِجْلَكَ عَنْ دَابَّتِكَ ثُمَّ سَجَدْتَ فَأَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ
His-saww companions said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We saw you-saww folding your-saww legs from your-saww animal (to dismount). Then you-saww did Sajdah, and prolonged the Sajdah!’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع أَتَانِي فَأَقْرَأَنِي السَّلَامَ مِنْ رَبِّي وَ بَشَّرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُخْزِنِي فِي أُمَّتِي فَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي مَالٌ فَأَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَ لَا مَمْلُوكٌ فَأُعْتِقَهُ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أَشْكُرَ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
He-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as had come to me-saww. He-as conveyed the Greeting to me-saww from my‑saww Lord-azwj and gave glad tidings that He-azwj will not Let me-saww be disgraced among my‑saww community. There does not happen to be any wealth for me-saww I-saww can donate in charity with, nor any slave I-saww can liberate, so I-saww loved to thank my Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[88]

Thanks be to Allah-azwj! Thanks be to Allah-azwj’ – three times’.
قُلْتُ فَمَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ
I said, ‘What is the meaning of his words, ‘Thanks be to Allah-azwj’?’
قَالَ يَقُولُ هَذِهِ السَّجْدَةُ مِنِّي شُكْرٌ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى مَا وَفَّقَنِي بِهِ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ وَ أَدَاءِ فَرْضِهِ وَ الشُّكْرُ مُوجِبٌ لِلزِّيَادَةِ فَإِنْ كَانَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ تَقْصِيرٌ لَمْ يَتِمَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ تَمَّ بِهَذِهِ السَّجْدةِ.
He-asws said: ‘He is saying, ‘This Sajdah from me is thanks to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon what He-azwj has Harmonised me with, from serving Him-azwj, and fulfilling His-azwj obligations’, and the thanking obligates the increase. If there were to be a deficiency in the Salat, not being completed by the optional (Salat), it will be completed with this Sajdah’’.[90]

ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذِهِ تُرْبَتِي وَ فِيهَا أُدْفَنُ سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ هَذَا الْمَكَانَ مُخْتَلَفَ شِيعَتِي وَ أَهْلَ مَحَبَّتِي وَ اللَّهِ مَا يَزُورُنِي مِنْهُمْ زَائِرٌ وَ لَا يُسَلِّمُ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُمْ مُسَلِّمٌ إِلَّا وَجَبَ لَهُ غُفْرَانُ اللَّهِ وَ رَحْمَتُهُ بِشَفَاعَتِنَا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ
Then he-asws said: ‘This is my-asws soil and I-asws shall be buried in it! Allah-azwj will be Making this place an interchange of my-asws Shias and the people loving me-asws. By Allah-azwj! No visitor from them will visit me, nor any greeter from them will greet unto me-asws, except the Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Mercy will be obligated for him due to our-asws intercession, People-asws of the Household!’
ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ ع الْقِبْلَةَ وَ صَلَّى رَكَعَاتٍ وَ دَعَا بِدَعَوَاتٍ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةً طَالَ مَكْثُهُ فِيهَا فَأَحْصَيْتُ لَهُ فِيهَا خَمْسَمِائَةِ تَسْبِيحَةٍ ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ.
Then he-asws faced the Qiblah and prayed two Cycles Salat and supplicated with supplications. When he-asws was free, he-asws performed a Sajdah, prolonging his being in it. I counted for him-asws in it, five hundred glorifications. Then he-asws left’’.[91]

Musa-as fell in Sajdah and rubbed his-as cheeks in the soil as humbling from him-as to his-as Lord‑azwj Mighty and Majestic. So, Allah-azwj Revealed to him-as: “Raise your-as head, O Musa-as and pass your-as hand in the place of your-as Sajdah and wipe your-as face with it, and whatever from your-as body touches it, it will be secure from every sickness, and affliction, and infirmity!”’[92]

Forgive, and Mercy, and Overlook about what You-azwj Know. Surely, You-azwj are the Mightiest, the most Benevolent!’’[99]

فَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَجَّهَهُ فِي أَمْرٍ مِنْ أُمُورِهِ فَحَسُنَ فِيهِ بَلَاؤُهُ وَ عَظُمَ عَنَاؤُهُ

When he-saww finished from the Salat, he-asws came to Rasool-Allah-azwj. Rasool-Allah-saww hugged him-asws, then asked him-asws about that journey of his-asws and what he-asws had done in it!

Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, performed Sajdah and went on to kiss the ground thanking to Allah-azwj the Exalted.

And Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Name, Created Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws as resemblances glorifying Him-azwj, and praising Him-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Oneness in front of His-azwj Throne, before He-azwj Created Adam-as, by fourteen thousand (celestial) years.
فَجَعَلَهُمْ نُوراً يَنْقُلُهُمْ فِي ظُهُورِ الْأَخْيَارِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ أَرْحَامِ الْخَيِّرَاتِ الْمُطَهَّرَاتِ وَ الْمُهَذَّبَاتِ مِنَ النِّسَاءِ مِنْ عَصْرٍ إِلَى عَصْرٍ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُبَيِّنَ لَنَا فَضْلَهُمْ وَ يُعَرِّفَنَا مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ وَ يُوجِبَ عَلَيْنَا حَقَّهُمْ أَخَذَ ذَلِكَ النُّورَ وَ قَسَمَهُ قِسْمَيْنِ
He-azwj Made them-asws as lights (Noor), Transferring them-asws in foreheads of best of the men, and laps/possession of the best, the pure, the refined from the women, from an era to an era. When Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wanted to Clarify their-asws merits to us and Introduce their-asws status to us, and obligate their-asws rights upon us, He-azwj Took that Noor and Divided it into two segments.
جَعَلَ قِسْماً فِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ فَكَانَ عَنْهُ مُحَمَّدٌ سَيِّدُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ خَاتَمُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ جَعَلَ فِيهِ النُّبُوَّةَ
He-azwj Made a segment to be in Abdullah-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws, and from it came into being Muhammad-saww, Chief of the Prophets-as, and Seal (Last) of the Messengers-as, and He-azwj Made the Prophet-hood to be in him-saww.

And He-azwj Made the second segment to be in Abd Manaf-asws, and he-as is Abu Talib-asws Bin Abdul Muttalib-asws Bin Hashim-asws Bin Abd Manaf-asws. From it came into being Ali-asws, Emir of the Momineen and Chief of the successors-as.

And Rasool-Allah-saww made him-asws his-saww guardian-asws, and his-saww successor-asws, and his-saww caliph, and married his-saww daughter-asws to him-asws, and fulfiller of his-saww debts, and reliever of his-saww distress, and fulfiller of his-saww promises, and helper of his-saww religion!’’[103]
19- الْمَكَارِمُ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ نَفَسُهُ قَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَبَّيْكَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ.
(The book) ‘Al Makarim’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The servant, when he does Sajdah and he says, ‘O Lord-azwj! O Lord-azwj’, until his breath is cut, the Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says to him: “Here I-azwj am! What is your need (request)?”’[104]
وَ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَجْدَةُ الشُّكْرِ وَاجِبَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ تُتِمُّ بِهَا صَلَاتَكَ وَ تُرْضِي بِهَا رَبَّكَ وَ تَعْجَبُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْكَ
And from Murazim,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Sajdah of thank is obligatory upon every Muslim. You can complete your Salat with it and your Lord-azwj will be Satisfied with it, and the Angels will be fascinated by you.
وَ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ فَتَحَ الرَّبُّ تَعَالَى الْحِجَابَ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَ بَيْنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَلَائِكَتِي انْظُرُوا إِلَى عَبْدِي أَدَّى فَرْضِي وَ أَتَمَّ عَهْدِي ثُمَّ سَجَدَ لِي شُكْراً عَلَى مَا أَنْعَمْتُ بِهِ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتِي مَا ذَا لَهُ
And when the servant prays Salat, then he performs Sajdah of thanks, the Exalted Lord-azwj Opens the veil between the servant and the Angels. He-azwj Says: “O My-azwj Angels! Look at My-azwj servant fulfilling My-azwj Obligation and completing My-azwj covenant. Then he does Sajdah of thanks to Me-azwj upon what I-azwj have Favoured with upon him. My-azwj Angels! What is for him?”
قَالَ فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا رَحْمَتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘The Angels say, ‘O our Lord-azwj, Your-azwj Mercy!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ مَا ذَا لَهُ
Then the Blessed and Exalted Says: “The what is for him?”
فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا جَنَّتُكَ
The Angels say, ‘O our Lord-azwj, Your-azwj Paradise!’
فَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ مَا ذَا
The Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: “The what?”
فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا كِفَايَةُ مُهِمِّهِ
The Angels say, ‘O our Lord-azwj, Sufficing of his important matters!’
فَيَقُولُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى ثُمَّ مَا ذَا
The Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: “Then what?”
قَالَ فَلَا يَبْقَى شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلَّا قَالَتْهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَا مَلَائِكَتِي ثُمَّ مَا ذَا لَهُ
He-asws said: ‘There does not remain anything from the good except the Angels say it. Allah‑azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: “O My-azwj Angels! Then what is for him?”
فَتَقُولُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ يَا رَبَّنَا لَا عِلْمَ لَنَا
The Angels say, ‘O our Lord-azwj, there is no knowledge for us!’’
قَالَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَشْكُرُ لَهُ كَمَا شَكَرَ لِي وَ أُقْبِلُ إِلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِي وَ أُرِيهِ وَجْهِي.
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says: “I-azwj shall Thank to him just as he had thanked to Me-azwj, and I-azwj shall Turn to him with My-azwj Grace and Show him My-azwj Face!”’[105]

Then say, بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي الْهَمَّ وَ الْحَزَنَ
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Remove from me the worries and the grief’ – thrice’’.[106]
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ قَالَ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدَاهْ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ نَفَسُهُ أُجِيبَ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ.
And it is reported that the one who says while he is in Sajdah, ‘O Lord-azwj! O Master-azwj’, until his breath cuts off, will be Answered: “Ask our need!”’[107]
وَ كَانَ بَعْضُ الصَّادِقِينَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ سَجَدَ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ طَالِبٌ مِنْ ثَوَابِكَ سَجَدَ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ هَارِبٌ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ سَجَدَ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ خَائِفٌ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ
And one of the two truthful ones (5th or 6th Imam-asws) was saying in his-asws Sajdah: ‘I-asws am doing Sajdah to You-azwj O Lord-azwj, seeking from Your-azwj Rewards! I-asws am doing Sajdah to You-azwj O Lord-azwj, fleeing from Your-azwj Punishment! I-asws am doing Sajdah to You-azwj O Lord‑azwj fearing from Your-azwj Annoyance!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو.
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj!’, until the breath is cut, then he should supplicate’’.[108]
وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِرَجُلٍ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا ذَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُرْضِيَ كُلَّ مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ عِنْدِي تَبِعَةٌ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَإِنَّمَا عَفْوُكَ عَنِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ أَنَا مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَلْتَسَعْنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And it is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww passed by a man while he was doing Sajdah and he was saying, ‘O Lord-azwj! What would be upon You-azwj if You-azwj were to Satisfy every one having a grievance for him with me, and to Forgive my sins for me, and to Admit me into the Paradise due to Your-azwj Mercy. Rather, Your-azwj Pardon is from the unjust ones and I am from the unjust ones, therefore Let Your-azwj Mercy Include me!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ فَقَدِ اسْتُجِيبَ لَكَ إِنَّكَ دَعَوْتَ بِدُعَاءِ نَبِيٍّ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ عَادٍ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said to him: ‘Raise your head for it has been Answered for you. You have supplicate with a supplication of a Prophet-saww who existed in the era of Aad’’.[109]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ فِي سَفَرٍ يَسِيرُ عَلَى نَاقَةٍ إِذَا نَزَلَ فَسَجَدَ خَمْسَ سَجَدَاتٍ فَلَمَّا رَكِبَ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَأَيْنَاكَ صَنَعْتَ شَيْئاً لَمْ تَصْنَعْهُ
And from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was in a journey travelling upon a she-camel when he-saww descended and performed five Sajdah(s). When he-saww rode (again), they said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! We saw you-saww doing something you-saww have not done (before)!’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ اسْتَقْبَلَنِي جَبْرَئِيلُ ع فَبَشَّرَنِي بِبِشَارَاتٍ مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَسَجَدْتُ لِلَّهِ شُكْراً لِكُلِّ بُشْرَى سَجْدَةً.
He-saww said: ‘Yes. Jibraeel-as came to me-saww with glad tidings from Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, so I-saww did Sajdah to Allah-azwj thanking for each glad tidings with a Sajdah’’.[110]
وَ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَ هُوَ يُحَدِّثُ نَفْسَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ فَسَجَدَ طَوِيلًا ثُمَّ أَلْزَقَ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ بِالتُّرَابِ طَوِيلًا
And from Is’haq Bin Ammar who said,
‘O went out with Abu Abdullah-asws and he-asws was discussing with himself-asws. Then he-asws face the Qiblah and performed a lengthy Sajdah. Then he-asws adhered his-asws right cheek with the soil for a long time’.
قَالَ ثُمَّ مَسَحَ وَجْهَهُ ثُمَّ رَكِبَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي لَقَدْ صَنَعْتَ شَيْئاً مَا رَأَيْتُهُ قَطُّ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he-asws wiped his-asws face, then rode. I said to him-asws, ‘May my father and my mother (be sacrificed) for you-asws! You-asws have done something I have not seen it before!’
قَالَ يَا إِسْحَاقُ إِنِّي ذَكَرْتُ نِعْمَةً مِنْ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيَّ فَأَحْبَبْتُ أَنْ أُذَلِّلَ نَفْسِي
He-asws said: ‘O Is’haq! I-asws remembered a bounty from bounties of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic upon me-asws, so I-asws loved to humble myself-asws’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا إِسْحَاقُ مَا أَنْعَمَ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَبْدٍ بِنِعْمَةٍ فَعَرَفَهَا بِقَلْبِهِ وَ جَهَرَ بِحَمْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا فَفَرَغَ عَنْهَا حَتَّى يُؤْمَرَ لَهُ بِالْمَزِيدِ مِنَ الدَّارَيْنِ.
Then he-asws said: ‘O Is’haq! Whatever bounty Allah-azwj Favours upon a servant, so he recognises it with his heart and is aloud with praising Allah-azwj upon it, so he gets alarmed from it, until He-azwj Commands for him with the increase from the two houses (world and the Hereafter)’’.[111]
21- الْكَشِّيُّ، ذَكَرَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ نَصْرُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ ذُكِرَ لَهُ طُولُ سُجُودِهِ قَالَ كَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ جَمِيلَ بْنَ دَرَّاجٍ
(The book) ‘Al Kashy’ – Abu Al Qasim Nasr Bin Al Sabbah mentioned from Al Fazl Bin Shazan who said,
‘I entered to see Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr and he was performing Sajdah. He prolonged the Sajdah. When he raised his head, and I mentioned to him the prolongation of his Sajdah, he said, ‘How would it be if you had seen Jameel Bin Darraj?’
ثُمَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ دَخَلَ عَلَى جَمِيلِ بْنِ دَرَّاجٍ فَوَجَدَهُ سَاجِداً فَأَطَالَ السُّجُودَ جِدّاً فَلَمَّا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ أَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ فَقَالَ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَيْتَ مَعْرُوفَ بْنَ خَرَّبُوذَ.
Then he narrated to him that he had entered to see Jameel Bin Darraj and found him performing Sajdah, and he prolong the Sajdah a lot. When he raised his head, Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr said to him, ‘You prolonged the Sajdah!’ He said, ‘How would it be if you had seen Marouf Bin Kharbouz?’’[112] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ مِنْهُ قَالَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ شَاذَانَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ فِي قَطِيعَةِ الرَّبِيعِ فِي مَسْجِدِ الزَّيْتُونَةِ أَقْرَأُ عَلَى مُقْرِئٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ فَرَأَيْتُ يَوْماً فِي الْمَسْجِدِ نَفَراً يَتَنَاجَوْنَ فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ إِنَّ بِالْجَبَلِ رَجُلًا يُقَالُ لَهُ ابْنُ فَضَّالٍ لَهُ سَجَّادَةٌ أَعْبَدُ مَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَوْ سَمِعْتُ بِهِ
And from him, ‘Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan said, ‘I was in a piece of land of al Rabie in Masjid Al-Zaytouna reading to a reciter call Ismail Bin Abbad. One day I saw a number of persons in the Masjid whispering to each other. One of them said, ‘There is a man called Ibn Fazzal in a mountain. There is impact of Sajdah of worship upon him I have neither seen or heard with!’
قَالَ وَ إِنَّهُ لَيَخْرُجُ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ فَيَسْجُدُ السَّجْدَةَ فَيَجِيءُ الطَّيْرُ فَتَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ فَمَا يَظُنُّ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ ثَوْبٌ أَوْ خِرْقَةٌ وَ إِنَّ الْوَحْشَ لَتَرْعَى حَوْلَهُ فَمَا تَنْفِرُ مِنْهُ لِمَا قَدْ أَنِسَتْ بِهِ وَ إِنَّ عَسْكَرَ الصَّعَالِيكِ لَيَجِيئُونَ يُرِيدُونَ الْغَارَةَ أَوْ قِتَالَ قَوْمٍ فَإِذَا رَأَوْا شَخْصَهُ طَارُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا فَذَهَبُوا حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاهُمْ وَ لَا يَرَوْنَهُ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقَالُوا هُوَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ.
He said, ‘And he tends to go out to the desert. He performs the Sajdah. The bird comes and lands upon him, and it thinks that he is a cloth or a rad, and the wild animal pasture around him and do not flee from him due to them feeling comfortable with him, and the soldiers of Al Sa’aleyk come intending the raid or battling a people. When they see his person, they roam in the world and go where they cannot be seen nor do they see him. I asked about him, and they said he is Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal’’.[113] (not a Hadeeth)
22- الْكَشِّيُّ، وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّاذَانِيِّ بِخَطِّهِ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَضْلَ بْنَ شَاذَانَ يَقُولُ دَخَلْتُ الْعِرَاقَ فَرَأَيْتُ وَاحِداً يُعَاتِبُ صَاحِبَهُ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَنْتَ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْكَ عِيَالٌ وَ تَحْتَاجُ أَنْ تَكْسِبَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ مَا آمَنُ أَنْ تَذْهَبَ عَيْنَاكَ بِطُولِ سُجُودِكَ
(The book) ‘Al Kashy’ – I found in the book of my father Abdullah Al Shazany in the handwriting,
‘I heard Abu Muhammad Al-Fazl Bin Shazaan saying, ‘I entered Al-Iraq. I saw someone admonishing his companions, and he was saying to him, ‘You are a man having dependants upon you, and you are needy to having earnings upon them, and there is no safety that your eyesight might be gone due to your lengthy Sajdah’.
قَالَ فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَكْثَرْتَ عَلَيَّ وَيْحَكَ لَوْ ذَهَبَتْ عَيْنُ أَحَدٍ مِنَ السُّجُودِ لَذَهَبَتْ عَيْنُ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ مَا ظَنُّكَ بِرَجُلٍ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ فَمَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ إِلَّا عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ.
He said, ‘When he (insisted) a lot upon him, he said, ‘You are (insisting) a lot upon me. Woe be to you! If one eye were to go from the Sajdah, an eye of Ibn Abu Umeyr would have gone. What are your thoughts with a man who performs a Sajdah of thanks after Al-Fajr Salat, so he does not raise his head except at midday’’.[114] (not a Hadeeth)
23- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، مِنْ نُزْهَةِ عُيُونِ الْمُشْتَاقِينَ تَأْلِيفِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ النَّسَّابَةِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: نَحْنُ إِذَا سَلَّمْنَا مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ عَزَمْنَا أَوْ أَرَدْنَا الدُّعَاءَ دَعَوْنَا بِمَا نُرِيدُ أَنْ نَدْعُوَ وَ نَحْنُ سُجُودٌ وَ رَأَيْتُ مِنَّا مَنْ يَفْعَلُهُ أَوْ أَنَا أَفْعَلُهُ.
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’, from ‘Nuhzat Uyoun Al Mushtaqeen’, compile by Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan Al Nassabah, by his chain,
‘From Zayd son of Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said, ‘We, when we perform Salaam of the Salat and we determine or intend the supplication, we supplicate with whatever we want to supplicate while we are in Sajdah, and I have seen from us one who does it, or I do it’’.[115]
24- وَ مِنْهُ، وَ الْكَافِي، عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: خَرَجْتُ مَعَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع إِلَى بَعْضِ أَمْوَالِهِ فَقَامَ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ خَرَّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِداً فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ بِصَوْتٍ حَزِينٍ وَ تَغَرْغَرُ دُمُوعُهُ وَ هُوَ
And from him, and ‘Al Kafi’ from the number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from his father who said,
‘I went out with Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws to one of his-asws estates. He-asws stood to pray Al Zohr Salat. When he-asws was free, he-asws fell in Sajdah to Allah-azwj. I heard him-asws saying in a grief-stricken voice while his-asws tear were flowing, and he-asws (was saying): –
رَبِّ عَصَيْتُكَ بِلِسَانِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَأَخْرَسْتَنِي وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِبَصَرِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَكَمَّهْتَنِي وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِسَمْعِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَأَصْمَمْتَنِي
‘Lord-azwj! I have disobeyed You-azwj with my tongue and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your‑azwj Might, You-azwj could have Muted me! And I disobeyed You-azwj with my sight, and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your-azwj Mighty, You-azwj could have Blinded me! And I disobeyed You-azwj with my ears, and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your-azwj Might, You-saww could have Deafened me!
وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِيَدِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَكَنَّعْتَنِي وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِرِجْلِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَجَذَمْتَنِي وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِفَرْجِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَعَقَمْتَنِي وَ عَصَيْتُكَ بِجَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِيَ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ وَ لَيْسَ هَذَا جَزَاؤُكَ مِنِّي
And I disobeyed You-azwj with my hands, and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your-azwj Might, You-azwj could have Lamed me! And I disobeyed You-azwj with my legs, and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your-azwj Might, You-azwj could have Made me a leper! And I disobeyed You-azwj with my private parts, and had You-azwj so Desired and by Your-azwj Might, You-azwj could have Sterilised me! And I disobeyed You-azwj with entirety of my limbs which You-azwj have Favoured with upon me, and this isn’t (shouldn’t have been) Your-azwj recompense from me!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ أَحْصَيْتُ لَهُ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ ثُمَّ أَلْصَقَ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ بِالْأَرْضِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ بِصَوْتٍ حَزِينٍ بُؤْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِي عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ غَيْرُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then I counted for him a thousand times, and he-asws was saying: ‘The Pardon! The Pardon!’ Then he-asws adhered his-asws right cheek with the ground. I heard him‑asws and he-asws said in a grief-stricken voice: ‘I confess to You-azwj of my sins. I have done evil and have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive (my sins) for me, for no one forgives the sins apart from You-azwj, O my Master-azwj!’ – three times.
ثُمَّ أَلْصَقَ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْسَرَ بِالْأَرْضِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ ارْحَمْ مَنْ أَسَاءَ وَ اقْتَرَفَ وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ.
Then he-asws adhered his-asws left cheek with the ground. I heard him-asws and he-asws was saying: ‘Mercy the one having done wrong, and committed, and submitted, and acknowledged!’ – three times. Then he-asws raised his-asws head’’.[116]
25- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فَقُلْ مَا ذَكَرَهُ كِرْدِينُ بْنُ مِسْمَعٍ فِي كِتَابِهِ الْمَعْرُوفِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِيهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ الِانْصِرَافَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ مَسَحَ جَبْهَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ الْيُمْنَى ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي الْغَمَّ وَ الْحَزَنَ وَ الْفِتَنَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ
(The book) ‘Falah Al-Saail’ –
‘When you raise your head from the Sajdah, say what is mentioned by Kirdeyn Bin Misma’a in his well-known book, by his chain in it to the Prophet-saww. When he-saww wanted to leave from the Salat, wiped his-saww forehead with his-saww right hand, then he-saww said: ‘For You-azwj is the Praise! There is no god except You-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! Remove from me the sadness, and the grief, and the Fitna what has appeared from it and what is hidden!’
وَ قَالَ مَا أَحَدٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَقُولُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ.
And he-saww said: ‘There is no one from my-saww community saying that except Allah-azwj will Give him what he asks for!’’[117]
وَ رُوِيَ لَنَا فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ أَنَّكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقُولَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَامْسَحْ يَدَكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ امْسَحْ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ وَجْهَكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ مَرَّةٍ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الْمَذْكُورَةَ.
And it is reported to us in another Hadeeth: ‘When you want to say these phrases, wipe your right hand upon the place of your Sajdah three times, and wipe your face during each time while you are saying these mentioned phrases during each time’’.[118]
وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ بِكَ عِلَّةٌ فَاصْنَعْ كَمَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْكُوفِيُّ وَ غَيْرُهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: دُعَاءٌ يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي عَقِيبِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ تُصَلِّيهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ بِكَ دَاءٌ مِنْ سُقْمٍ وَ وَجَعٍ فَإِذَا قَضَيْتَ صَلَاتَكَ فَامْسَحْ بِيَدِكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِكَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ وَ ادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ أَمْرِرْ يَدَكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ وَجَعِكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ تَقُولُ
And if there were to be an illness with you, do like what is reported by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Al Kufi and others, from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al Kulayni, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad raising it to,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘A supplication supplicated with during follow-up of a Salat you have prayed, if there were to be a disease from sickness and pain, when you have finished your Salat, then wipe your hand upon the place of your Sajdah from the ground and supplicated with this supplication, and pass your hand upon the place of your pain, seven times saying: –
يَا مَنْ كَبَسَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَ سَدَّ الْهَوَاءَ بِالسَّمَاءِ وَ اخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَحْسَنَ الْأَسْمَاءِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
‘O One-azwj Who Compressed the ground upon the water, and Blocked the air with the sky, and Chose for Himself-azwj most excellent of the Names! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Do with me such and such, and Grace me such and such, and Cure me from such and such!’’[119]
26- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، قَالَ جَدِّيَ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لِإِخْوَانِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي سُجُودِهِ وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – My grandfather Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him, said,
‘And it is recommended that he should supplicate for his brother, the Momineen, in his Sajdah, and he should say as well: –
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْفَجْرِ وَ اللَّيَالِي الْعَشْرِ- وَ الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ وَ اللَّيْلِ إِذا يَسْرِ وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ إِلَهَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ خَالِقَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مَلِيكَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ افْعَلْ بِي وَ بِفُلَانٍ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِنَا مَا نَحْنُ أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of the dawn [89:1] And ten nights [89:2] And the even and the odd [89:3] And the night when it passes [89:4], and Lord-azwj of all things, and God-azwj of all things, and Creator of all things, and Owner of all things! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Do with me and with so and son, what You-azwj are rightful of, and do not Do with us what we are rightful of, for You-azwj rightful of being feared and rightful of the Forgiveness!’
ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ السَّعَادَةَ فِي الرُّشْدِ وَ إِيمَانَ الْيُسْرِ وَ فَضِيلَةً فِي النِّعَمِ وَ هَنَاءَةً فِي الْعِلْمِ حَتَّى تُشَرِّفَهُمْ عَلَى كُلِّ شَرِيفٍ
Then raise your head and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Give Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww being fortunate in the rightful guidance, and the ease of Eman, and the merit in the bounties, and contentment in the knowledge until You-azwj Ennoble them-asws over all nobles!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلِيِّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ صَاحِبِ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ لَمْ يَخْذُلْنِي عِنْدَ شَدِيدَةٍ وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِي لِسَرِيرَةٍ فَلِسَيِّدِيَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً-
The Praise is for Allah-azwj, in Charge of every bounty, and Owner of every good deed, and ultimate of every desire! He-azwj did not Abandon me during adversity, and did not Expose me of any secrets. For my Master-azwj is abundant Praise!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا خَلَقْتَنِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً مَذْكُوراً رَبِّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى أَهْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَوَائِقِ الدَّهْرِ وَ نَكَبَاتِ الزَّمَانِ وَ كُرُبَاتِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مُصِيبَاتِ اللَّيَالِي وَ الْأَيَّامِ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ مَا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ فِي سَفَرِي فَاصْحَبْنِي وَ فِي أَهْلِي فَاخْلُفْنِي
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise just as You-azwj Created me and I wasn’t anything worthy of mention! Lord-azwj, Assist me upon situations of the world and disasters of the times, and scourges of the eras, and distresses of the Hereafter, and calamities of the nights and the days, and Suffice me for the evil of what the oppressors are doing in the earth, and Accompany me in my journey, and Be my replacement regarding my family!
وَ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي فَبَارِكْ لِي وَ فِي نَفْسِي لَكَ فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ إِلَيْكَ فَحَبِّبْنِي وَ بِذُنُوبِي فَلَا تَفْضَحْنِي وَ بِعَمَلِي فَلَا تَبْسُلْنِي وَ بِسَرِيرَتِي فَلَا تُخْزِنِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَسَلِّمْنِي وَ لِمَحَاسِنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ فَوَفِّقْنِي وَ مِنْ مَسَاوِي الْأَخْلَاقِ فَجَنِّبْنِي
Bless for me regarding what You-azwj have Graced me, and Humble me to You-azwj regarding my soul, and Magnify me in eyes of the people, and Make me Beloved to You-azwj, and do not Expose me with my sins, and do not Strip me of my deeds, and do not Disgrace me with my secrets, and Secure me from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and Harmonise me to the best manners, and Keep me aside from the evil manners.
إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي يَا رَبَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَ أَنْتَ رَبِّي إِلَى عَدُوٍّ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي فَيَخْذُلُنِي أَمْ إِلَى بَعِيدٍ فَيَتَجَهَّمُنِي فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبِّ فَلَا أُبَالِي غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَافِيَتَكَ أَوْسَعُ لِي وَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ
O Lord-azwj! To whom will You-azwj Allocate me to, the weak ones, while You-azwj are my Lord‑azwj, and to an enemy You-azwj Granted control of my matters so he would forsake me, or to a distant one so he will frown at me? If You-azwj don’t happen to be Wrathful upon me, O Lord‑azwj, I don’t care, apart from that Your-azwj well-being is capacious to me and more beloved to me!
أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ كُشِفَتْ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةُ وَ صَلُحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ مِنْ أَنْ يَحُلَّ عَلَيَّ غَضَبُكَ أَوْ يَنْزِلَ بِي سَخَطُكَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ.
I seek Refuge with the Noor of Your-azwj Face which the skies and the earth shine to, and the darkness is removed by it, and the matters of the former ones and the latter ones are correct upon it, from Your-azwj Wrath to be released upon me or Your-azwj Annoyance to befall with me! For You-azwj is the Praise until You-azwj are Satisfied, and after the Satisfaction, and there is neither might nor strength except with You-azwj!’’[120]
بيان: وَ قَالَ ابْنُ فَهْدٍ ره فِي عُدَّتِهِ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مَنْ قَدَّمَ أَرْبَعِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ دَعَا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ وَ يَتَأَكَّدُ بَعْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ فَيَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْفَجْرِ إلخ.
Explanation – And Ibn Fahd said in his (book) ‘Uddat’, ‘It is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who forwards forty of the Momineen then supplicated, it will be Answered for him, and he should emphasise after being free from the night Salat, so he should say while he is in Sajdah, ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of the dawn’ – etc.’’
27- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، قَالَ السَّيِّدُ فِي تَعْقِيبِ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ وَ قُلْ مَا ذَكَرَ جَدِّيَ السَّعِيدُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ أَنَّ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع كَانَ يَقُولُهُ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا سَجَدَ يَقُولُ- مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شُكْراً وَ كُلَّمَا قَالَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ شُكْراً لِلْمُجِيبِ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘The Seyyid said regarding follow-up of Salat Al-Asr, ‘Then do Sajdah and say what my grandfather Al-Saeed Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may the Satisfaction of Allah-azwj be upon him, said, ‘Our Master Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, had said it: ‘When he does Sajdah he should say one hundred times, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj’, in thanks, and every time he says ten times, he should say, ‘Thanks for the Answer’.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَداً وَ لَا يُحْصِيهِ غَيْرُهُ وَ يَا ذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْفَدُ أَبَداً يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو وَ يَتَضَرَّعُ وَ يَذْكُرُ حَاجَتَهُ
The he should say, ‘O One-azwj with the constant Conferment which will not terminate, ever, nor can anyone else count it! And O One-azwj with the acts of Kindness which do not deplete, ever! O Benevolent! O Benevolent!’ Then he should supplication and beseech, and mention his need.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ إِنْ أَطَعْتُكَ وَ لَكَ الْحُجَّةُ إِنْ عَصَيْتُكَ لَا صُنْعَ لِي وَ لَا لِغَيْرِي فِي إِحْسَانٍ مِنْكَ فِي حَالِ الْحَسَنَةِ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ صِلْ بِجَمِيعِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ
Then he should say, ‘For You-azwj is the Praise if I obey You-azwj, and for You-azwj is the Argument if I disobey You-azwj! There is neither making for me nor for others, and in Favour from You-azwj in state of the good deed! O Benevolent! O Benevolent! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, and Help with entirety of what I am asking You-azwj!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ ابْدَأْ بِهِمْ وَ ثَنِّ بِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ
And I ask You-azwj from easts of the earth and its wests, from the believing men and the believing women, and Begin with them with Your-azwj Mercy and secondly with me!’
ثُمَّ يَضَعُ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَسْلُبْنِي مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ مِنْ وَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ
Then he should place his right cheek upon the ground, and he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do not Strip me of what You-azwj have Favoured with upon me, of Your-azwj Wilayah, and Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws, may the greetings be upon him-saww and upon them-asws!’
ثُمَّ يَضَعُ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ هَذِهِ آخِرُ الرِّوَايَةِ.
Then he should place his left cheek upon the ground and say similar to that’. This is end of the report’’.[121]
الْمِصْبَاحُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ الْجُنَّةُ، جنة الأمان وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، وَ غَيْرُهَا مِثْلَهُ وَ فِي جَمِيعِهَا وَ صِلْ بِجَمِيعِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ مَنْ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ.
(The book) ‘Al Misbah’, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, and ‘Al Ikhtiyar’, and others,
‘Similar to it, and in all of these: ‘And Help with entirety of what I am asking You-azwj, and the ones in easts of the earth have asked You-azwj!’’[122]
28- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ قُلْتَ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ قَصَدْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ اعْتَمَدْتُ وَ أَرَدْتُ وَ بِكَ وَثِقْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ أَنْتَ عَالِمٌ بِمَا أَرَدْتُ
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘Then supplicate with whatever you like, and if you so desire, you should say while you are in Sajdah, ‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj For You-azwj is my purpose, and to You-azwj I have deliberated and intended, and with You-azwj I have trusted, and upon You-azwj I have relied, and You-azwj are Knower of what I intend!’
فَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى تُقْضَى حَاجَتُهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
It has been reported that the one who says that will not raise his head until his need is fulfilled, of Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[123]
29- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ الْجُنَّةُ، جنة الأمان وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، وَ غَوَالِي اللَّآلِي، رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ الشُّكْرِ- وَعَظْتَنِي فَلَمْ أَتَّعِظْ وَ زَجَرْتَنِي عَنْ مَحَارِمِكَ فَلَمْ أَنْزَجِرْ وَ غَمَرَتْنِي أَيَادِيكَ فَمَا شَكَرْتُ عَفْوَكَ عَفْوَكَ يَا كَرِيمُ.
(The books) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, and ‘Al Ikhtiyar’, and ‘Gawali Al Layaali’ –
‘It is reported from Ali-asws, he-asws was saying when he-asws did Sajdah, Sajdah of thanks: ‘You‑azwj Preached to me but I did not take preaching, and You-azwj Rebuked me from Your-azwj Prohibitions but I was not rebuked, and You-azwj Immersed me in Your-azwj Favours but I did not thank! Your-azwj Pardon! Your-azwj Pardon, O Benevolent!’’[124]
30- الْكِتَابُ الْعَتِيقُ، دُعَاءٌ فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ لِطَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ- يَا مَنْ لَا تَزِيدُ مُلْكَهُ حَسَنَاتِي وَ لَا تَشِينُهُ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ خَزَائِنَهُ غِنَايَ وَ لَا يَزِيدُ فِيهَا فَقْرِي
(The book) ‘Al Ateeq’ –
‘A supplication in Sajdah of thanks to seek the sustenance, ‘O One-azwj Whom my good deeds do not increase His-azwj Kingdom, nor do my evil deeds shame it, nor does my being rich reduce His-azwj treasures, nor does my poverty increase in it!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَثْبِتْ رَجَاءَكَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ اقْطَعْ رَجَائِي عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ حَتَّى لَا أَرْجُوَ إِلَّا إِيَّاكَ وَ لَا أَخَافَ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَا أَثِقَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ لَا أَتَّكِلَ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ تَحْوِيلِ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ فِي الدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ أَيَّامَ الدُّنْيَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ.
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad and Affirm Your-azwj hopes in my heart and Cut off my hope from the ones besides You-azwj until I do not hope except to You-azwj, nor do I fear except from You-azwj, nor do I trust except with You-azwj, nor do I rely except upon You-azwj, and Shelter me from transformation of what You-azwj have Favoured with upon me in the religion, and the world, and the Hereafter, in the days of the world, by Your-azwj Mercy, O Benevolent!’’[125]
31- جَامِعُ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ، نَقْلًا مِنْ خَطِّ بَعْضِ الْأَفَاضِلِ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ
(The book) ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty’ – copying from the handwriting of one of the meritorious ones, from Jameel, from Al-Hassan Bin Ziyad who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying while he-asws was performing Sajdah: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You‑azwj for the comfort during the death, and the comfort during the Reckoning!’
قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ وَ الْأَمْنَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ.
Ismail said in his Hadeeth: ‘And the Security during the Reckoning!’’[126]
وَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ اللَّئِيمُ لِوَجْهِ رَبِّيَ الْكَرِيمِ.
And from Jameel, from Saeed Bin Yasaar who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying while he-asws was in Sajdah: ‘My blame-worthy face is doing Sajdah to the Benevolent Face of my Lord-azwj!’’[127]
وَ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ وَ اسْأَلْهُ الرِّزْقَ.
And from Jameel, from Abu Baseer who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The closest of what the servant can be to Allah-azwj is when he is in Sajdah, therefore supplicate to Allah-azwj and ask Him-azwj for the sustenance’’.[128]
بيان الدُّعَاءُ الْأَوَّلُ رَوَاهُ الْكُلَيْنِيُ بِسَنَدِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَرِيرٍ الرَّوَّاسِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ يُرَدِّدُهَا.
Explanation – The first supplication is reported by Al-Kulayni by his chain from Abu Jareer Al-Rawasy who said, ‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws and he-asws was saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the comfort during the death, and the Pardon during the Reckoning!’ – repeating it’’.
32- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص أَبْصَرَ رَجُلًا دَبَرَتْ جَبْهَتُهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ يُغَالِبِ اللَّهَ يَغْلِبْهُ وَ مَنْ يَخْدَعِ اللَّهَ يَخْدَعْهُ فَهَلَّا تَجَافَيْتَ بِجَبْهَتِكَ عَنِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لَمْ تُشَوِّهْ وَجْهَكَ.
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy, by his chain,
‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww sighted a man whose forehead was wrinkled, Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who tries to overcome Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Overcome him, and one who tries to deceive Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Deceive him! Why didn’t you forsake your forehead from the ground and not disfigured your face?’’[129]
Translator’s note – This has not to do with him wrinkling his face from doing Sajdah, but he was probably sleeping prone upon the ground.
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ- عَلِيٌّ ع إِنِّي لَأَكْرَهُ لِلرَّجُلِ أَنْ تُرَى جَبْهَتُهُ جَلْحَاءَ لَيْسَ فِيهَا شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَثَرِ السُّجُودِ.
And by this chain, said, ‘Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws dislike for the man seeing his forehead bare, there not being any impacts of the Sajdah in it’’.
33- نُقِلَ مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ ره قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَحَبُّ الْكَلَامِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى أَنْ يَقُولَ الْعَبْدُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ- إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ثَلَاثاً.
It is copied from the handwriting of Al-Shaheed – ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘The most Beloved of the speech to Allah-azwj the Exalted is the servant saying while he is in Sajdah, ‘I have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive me!’ – thrice’’.[130]
وَ مِنْهُ نَقْلًا عَنِ الْجَعْفَرِيَّاتِ عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ فِي سِيَاقَةِ أَحَادِيثِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا وَضَعَ وَجْهَهُ لِلسُّجُودِ- اللَّهُمَّ مَغْفِرَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ رَحْمَتُكَ أَرْجَى عِنْدِي مِنْ عَمَلِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي يَا حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ.
And from him, copying from ‘Al Ja’fariyaat’, from Al Bazanty, from Abdullah Bin Sinan in continuation of its Ahadeeth,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was saying when he-saww placed his-saww face for the Sajdah: ‘O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj Forgiveness is more capacious than my sins, and Your-azwj Mercy is more hoped for with me than my deeds, therefore Forgive my sins for me, O Living One Who will not be dying!’’[131]
34- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنَا الشَّيْخُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيُّ عَنِ الشَّيْخِ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْفَحَّامِ عَنِ الْمَنْصُورِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْإِمَامِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص يَقُولُ مَنْ أَدَّى لِلَّهِ مَكْتُوبَةً فَلَهُ فِي أَثَرِهَا دَعْوَةٌ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of A Rawandy – We are informed by the Sheykh Abu Ja’far Al Neyshapuri, from the Sheykh Abu Ali, from his father Al Tusi, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, from Abu Muhammad Al Fahham, from Al Mansoury, from an uncle of his father,
‘From the Imam Ali-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Askari-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard Rasool-Allah-saww saying: ‘One who fulfils the Prescribed (Salats) to Allah-azwj, for him in its tracks is an Answered supplication!’’[132]
قَالَ الْفَحَّامُ رَأَيْتُ وَ اللَّهِ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي النَّوْمِ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْخَبَرِ فَقَالَ صَحِيحٌ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ فَقُلْ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ- اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ مَنْ رَوَاهُ وَ بِحَقِّ مَنْ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ صَلِّ عَلَى جَمَاعَتِهِمْ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَيْتَ وَ كَيْتَ.
Al-Fahham said, ‘By Allah-azwj! I saw Amir Al-Momineen-asws in the dream. I asked him-asws about the Hadeeth. He-asws said: ‘Correct! When you are free from the Prescribed (Salat), then say while you are in Sajdah, ‘O Allah-azwj! By the right of the one who reported it, and by the right of the one who he reported from! Send Salawaat upon their group and Do such and such with me!’’[133]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع إِذَا أَصَابَكَ أَمْرٌ فَبَلَغَ مِنْكَ مَجْهُودَكَ فَاسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ قَدْ وَ حَقِّكَ بَلَغَ مَجْهُودِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘When a matter afflicts you and your efforts reach the limit, then do Sajdah upon the ground and say, ‘O Humiliator of every tyrant! O Honourer of every humiliated one! By Your-azwj Right! My efforts have reached the limit, therefore Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Relive from me!’’[134]
وَ كَانَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَدْعُو كَثِيراً فِي سُجُودِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ.
And Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws used to frequently supplicate in his-asws Sajdah: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the comfort during the death, and the Pardon during the Reckoning!’’[135]
35- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا نَزَلَ بِرَجُلٍ نَازِلَةٌ أَوْ شَدِيدَةٌ أَوْ كَرَبَهُ أَمْرٌ فَلْيَكْشِفْ عَنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ ذِرَاعَيْهِ وَ لْيُلْصِقْهُمَا بِالْأَرْضِ وَ لْيُلْصِقْ جُؤْجُؤَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ لْيَدْعُ بِحَاجَتِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ.

And he-asws performed Sajdah after follow-up of Al-Maghrib and after follow-up of Al-Isha, and when it was morning he-asws prayed the morning Salat.

When he-asws performed Salaam, he-asws would sit in his-asws praying place glorifying Allah-azwj, and praising Him-azwj, and exclaiming Greatness of Allah-azwj, and extolling His-azwj Oneness, and he-asws sent Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww until the sun emerged.

He-saww said: ‘There does not happen to be any wealth in my-saww possession So, I-saww can donate in charity with it, nor any slaves I-saww can liberate, So, I-saww performed Sajdah to Allah‑azwj and thanked Him-azwj and praised Him-azwj upon that!’’[140]

فَلَمْ يَكُنْ عِنْدِي مَالٌ أَصَّدَّقُ وَ لَا عَبْدٌ أُعْتِقُهُ فَسَجَدْتُ لِلَّهِ شُكْراً.
There does not happen to be any wealth for me-saww I-saww can donate with, nor a slave I-saww can liberate, so I-saww did Sajdah of thanks to Allah-azwj’’.[145]
43- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ تَعْقِيبِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَإِنْ شِئْتَ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ سَجْدَتَيِ الشُّكْرِ الْآنَ فَاسْجُدْهُمَا كَمَا نَذْكُرُهُ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ تُؤَخِّرُ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ إِلَى مَا بَعْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا تَعْمَلُهُ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ بَيْنَ عِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ دَعَوَاتٍ وَ تَكُونُ سَجْدَةُ الشُّكْرِ فِي آخِرِ مَا تَعْمَلُ فَافْعَلْ.
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘When you are free from follow-up of Salat Al-Maghrib, if you like you can do two Sajdah(s) of thanks now, performing these just as we have mentioned, and if you like you can delay a Sajdah of thanks to what is after being free from all what you do between Al-Maghrib and Isha the last, from the Salats and the supplication, and if Sajdah of thanks can be in the end of what you do, then do so!’’[146]
صِفَةُ سَجْدَتَيِ الشُّكْرِ رَوَى أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةُ ره عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ره عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْخَزَّازِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْأَحْوَلِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ قَالَ
Description of two Sajdah(s) of thanks – It is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Bin Uqdah, from Ahmad Bin Al-Husayn Bin Abdul Malik, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, and it is reported by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abu Qurrah, from his father Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Ali Bin Sufyan, from Ja’far Bin Malik, from Ibrahim Bin Suleyman Al Khazzaz, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Ja’far Al Ahwal, from Abu Ubeyda who said,
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ- أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ حِبَيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَّا بَدَّلْتَ سَيِّئَاتِي حَسَنَاتٍ وَ حَاسَبْتَنِي حِسَاباً يَسِيراً
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying while he-asws was in Sajdah: ‘I ask You-azwj by the right of Your-azwj Beloved Muhammad-saww, only replace my evil deeds with good deeds, and Reckon me with an easy Reckoning!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ حِبَيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص إِلَّا كَفَيْتَنِي مَئُونَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ كُلَّ هَوْلٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ
Then he-asws said in the second (Sajdah): ‘I ask You-azwj by the right of Your-azwj Beloved Muhammad-saww, only Suffice me with provisions of the world, and every horror before the Paradise!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ حَبِيبِكَ ص لَمَّا غَفَرْتَ لِيَ الْكَثِيرَ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْقَلِيلَ وَ قَبِلْتَ مِنْ عَمَلِيَ الْيَسِيرَ
Then he-asws said in the third (Sajdah): ‘By the right of Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj Beloved, Forgive for me the many of the sins and the few, and Accept the little from my deeds!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ حَبِيبِكَ ص لَمَّا أَدْخَلْتَنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَ جَعَلْتَنِي مِنْ سُكَّانِهَا وَ لَمَّا نَجَّيْتَنِي مِنْ سَفَعَاتِ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ.
Then he-asws said in the fourth (Sajdah): ‘I ask You-azwj by the right of Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj Beloved! Admit me into the Paradise and Make me to be from its inhabitants, and Rescue me from being burnt by the Fire, by Your-azwj Mercy!’’[147]
44- الْمُهَجُ، مهج الدعوات رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فِي كِتَابِ فَضْلِ الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع وَ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالا دَخَلْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ فَأَطَالَ فِي سُجُودِهِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقُلْنَا لَهُ أَطَلْتَ السُّجُودَ
(The book) ‘Al Muhaj Al Dawaat’ – We are reporting by our chains to Sa’ad Bin Abdullah in the book ‘Fazl Al Dua’, Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie said, from Al-Reza-asws, and Bukeyr Bin Salih, from Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fary,
‘From Al-Reza-asws, both (narrators) said, ‘We entered to see him-asws and he-asws was in Sajdah performing Sajdah of thanks. He-asws prolonged in his-asws Sajdah, then raised his-asws head. We said to him-asws, ‘You-asws prolonged the Sajdah!’
فَقَالَ مَنْ دَعَا فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ كَانَ كَالرَّامِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ
He-asws said: ‘One who supplicated in Sajdah of thanks with this supplication would be like the archer with Rasool-Allah-saww on the day of (battle of) Badr!’
قَالا قُلْنَا فَنَكْتُبُهُ
They said, ‘We said, ‘Can we write it?’
قَالَ اكْتُبَا إِذَا أَنْتَ سَجَدْتَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ اللَّذَيْنِ بَدَّلَا دِينَكَ وَ غَيَّرَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ اتَّهَمَا رَسُولَكَ ص وَ خَالَفَا مِلَّتَكَ وَ صَدَّا عَنْ سَبِيلِكَ وَ كَفَرَا آلَاءَكَ وَ رَدَّا عَلَيْكَ كَلَامَكَ
He-asws said: ‘Write it. When you are in Sajdah, Sajdah of thanks, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Curse those two who replaced Your-azwj religion, and changed Your-azwj bounties, and slandered Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and opposed Your-azwj nation, and blocked from Your-azwj Way, and disbelieved in Your-azwj Favours, and rebutted Your-azwj Speech unto You‑azwj!
وَ اسْتَهْزَءَا بِرَسُولِكَ وَ قَتَلَا ابْنَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ حَرَّفَا كِتَابَكَ وَ جَحَدَا آيَاتِكَ وَ سَخِرَا بِآيَاتِكَ وَ اسْتَكْبَرَا عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ قَتَلَا أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ جَلَسَا فِي مَجْلِسٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمَا بِحَقٍّ وَ حَمَلَا النَّاسَ عَلَى أَكْتَافِ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَوَاتُ وَ السَّلَامُ
And they mocked Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and killed the (grand) son-asws of Your-azwj Prophet-as, and altered Your-azwj Book, and rejected Your-azwj Signs, and mocked Your-azwj Verses, and were too arrogant from worshipping You-azwj, and killed Your-azwj friends, and sat in the seat which did not happen to be theirs by right, and carried the people upon isolating Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, upon them-asws be the Salawaat and the greetings!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا لَعْناً يَتْلُو بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضاً وَ احْشُرْهُمَا وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمَا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُرْقاً
O Allah-azwj! Curse them both with consecutive Curses, and Resurrect them and their followers to Hell as blue-eyed!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَتَقَرَّبُ عليك [إِلَيْكَ] بِاللَّعْنَةِ عَلَيْهِمَا وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْهُمَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! We draw closer to You-azwj by the cursing upon them and the disavowing from them in the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَتَلَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ابْنِ بِنْتِ رَسُولِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Curse killers of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and killers of Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, son-asws of daughter-asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ زِدْهُمَا عَذَاباً فَوْقَ الْعَذَابِ وَ هَوَاناً فَوْقَ هَوَانٍ وَ ذُلًّا فَوْقَ ذُلٍّ وَ خِزْياً فَوْقَ خِزْيٍ
O Allah-azwj! Increase them both in Punishment upon the Punishment, degradation upon degradation, and humiliation upon humiliation, and disgrace upon disgrace!
اللَّهُمَّ دُعَّهُمَا فِي النَّارِ دَعّاً وَ أَرْكِسْهُمَا فِي أَلِيمِ عَذَابِكَ رَكْساً
O Allah-azwj! Leave them in the fire, and bury them in the pain of your torment!
اللَّهُمَّ احْشُرْهُمَا وَ أَتْبَاعَهُمَا إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُمَراً
O Allah-azwj! Gather them and their followers to Hell in droves!
اللَّهُمَّ فَرِّقْ جَمْعَهُمْ وَ شَتِّتْ أَمْرَهُمْ وَ خَالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمْ وَ بَدِّدْ جَمَاعَتَهُمْ وَ الْعَنْ أَئِمَّتَهُمْ وَ اقْتُلْ قَادَتَهُمْ وَ سَادَتَهُمْ وَ كُبَرَاءَهُمْ وَ الْعَنْ رُؤَسَاءَهُمْ وَ اكْسِرْ رَايَتَهُمْ وَ أَلْقِ الْبَأْسَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ لَا تُبْقِ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً
O Allah-azwj! Separate their gatherings, and Scatter their affairs, and Create differing between their words, and Disintegrate their congregation, and Curse their leaders, and Kill their guides, and their chiefs, and their elders, and Curse their heads, and Break their flags, and Cast the evil between them, not leaving any household from them!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْ أَبَا جَهْلٍ وَ الْوَلِيدَ لَعْناً يَتْلُو بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً وَ يَتْبَعُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً
O Allah-azwj! Curse Abu Jahl-la and Al-Waleed, curses following each other (consecutive)!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا لَعْناً يَلْعَنُهُمَا بِهِ كُلُّ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ مُرْسَلٍ وَ كُلُّ مُؤْمِنٍ امْتَحَنْتَ قَلْبَهُ لِلْإِيمَانِ
O Allah-azwj! Curse them with curses every Angel of Proximity curses them with, and every Messenger-as Prophet-as, and every Momin who heart is Tested for the Eman!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا لَعْناً يَتَعَوَّذُ مِنْهُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ وَ مِنْ عَذَابِهِمَا
O Allah-azwj! Curse them with curses, the inmates of the Fire will seek Refuge from it and from their torment!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا لَعْناً لَا يَخْطُرُ لِأَحَدٍ بِبَالٍ
O Allah-azwj! Curse them with curses, not having even occurred in the mind of anyone!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنْهُمَا فِي مُسْتَسِرِّ سِرِّكَ وَ ظَاهِرِ عَلَانِيَتِكَ وَ عَذِّبْهُمَا عَذَاباً فِي التَّقْدِيرِ وَ فَوْقَ التَّقْدِيرِ وَ شَارِكْ مَعَهُمَا ابْنَتَيْهِمَا وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمَا وَ مُحِبِّيهِمَا وَ مَنْ شَايَعَهُمَا إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ.
O Allah-azwj! Curse them both in the concealment of Your-azwj Secrecy and apparent of Your-azwj Announcement, and Punish them with torment in the Pre-determination, and above the Pre-determined, and Participate with them both, their followers, and their loyalists, and ones loving them, and ones escorting them, You-azwj are Listener of the supplication!’’[148]
الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، عَنِ الرِّضَا ع مَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ كَانَ كَالرَّامِي مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ص يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ أُحُدٍ وَ حُنَيْنٍ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ سَهْمٍ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ.
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
‘From Al-Reza-asws: ‘One who supplicates with this supplication in Sajdah of thanks would be like the archer with the Prophet-saww on the day of (battles of) Badr, and Ohad, and Hunayn, with a million arrows’ – Then he-asws mentioned this supplication’’.[149]
45- الْكِتَابُ الْعَتِيقُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ عَامِرٍ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ الطَّائِيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَائِماً يُصَلِّي مُتَغَيِّراً لَوْنُهُ فَلَمْ أَرَ مُصَلِّياً بَعْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَتَمَّ رُكُوعاً وَ لَا سُجُوداً مِنْهُ فَسَعَيْتُ نَحْوَهُ
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Ateeq’ – It is narrated to us by Is’haq Bin Muhammad Bin Marwan Al Kufi, from his father, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Khalid Bin Saeed, from Aamir Al Shaby, from Adayy Bin Hatim Al Taie who said,
‘I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws. I found him-asws standing praying Salat. His-asws complexion had changed. I had not seen any praying one, after Rasool-Allah‑saww, neither of more complete Ruk’u nor Sajdah than he-asws did. I strived to go towards him-asws.
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَ بِحِسِّي أَشَارَ بِيَدِهِ فَوَقَفْتُ حَتَّى صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْجَزَهُمَا وَ أَكْمَلَهُمَا ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةً أَطَالَهَا فَقُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي نَامَ وَ اللَّهِ
When he-asws heard my hiss, he-asws indicated by his-asws hand, so I stopped, until he-asws had prayed two Cycles, shortening them and perfecting them. Then he-asws performed Salaam, then did Sajdah, prolonging it. I said within myself, ‘By Allah-azwj, he-asws has gone to sleep!’
فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ حَقّاً حَقّاً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِيمَاناً وَ تَصْدِيقاً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً يَا مُعِزَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِسُلْطَانِهِ يَا مُذِلَّ الْجَبَّارِينَ بِعَظَمَتِهِ
He-asws raised his-asws head, then said: ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, truly, truly! There is no god except Allah-azwj, believing and ratifying! There is no god except Allah-azwj, in worship and servitude! O Honourer of the Momineen by His-azwj Authority! O Humiliator of the tyrants by His-azwj Might!
أَنْتَ كَهْفِي حِينَ تُعْيِينِي الْمَذَاهِبُ عِنْدَ حُلُولِ النَّوَائِبِ فَتَضِيقُ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْضُ بِرُحْبِهَا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي يَا سَيِّدِي رَحْمَةً مِنْكَ لِي وَ لَوْ لَا رَحْمَتُكَ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ وَ أَنْتَ مُؤَيِّدِي بِالنَّصْرِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِي وَ لَوْ لَا نَصْرُكَ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْمَغْلُوبِينَ
You-azwj are my cave when the doctrines fatigue me during the permeation of the hardships, so the earth would be constricted upon me with its arrival! You-azwj Created me, O my Master-azwj, as a Mercy from You-azwj to me, and had it not been for Your-azwj Mercy, I would have been from the destroyed ones, and You-azwj are my Helper from my enemies, and had it not been for Your-azwj Help, I would have been from the overcome ones!
يَا مُنْشِئَ الْبَرَكَاتِ مِنْ مَوَاضِعِهَا وَ مُرْسِلَ الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ مَعَادِنِهَا وَ يَا مَنْ خَصَّ نَفْسَهُ بِالْعِزِّ وَ الرِّفْعَةِ فَأَوْلِيَاؤُهُ بِعِزِّهِ يَعْتَزُّونَ وَ يَا مَنْ وَضَعَ لَهُ الْمُلُوكُ نِيرَ الْمَذَلَّةِ عَلَى أَعْنَاقِهِمْ فَهُمْ مِنْ سَطَوَاتِهِ خَائِفُونَ
O Creator of the Blessings from its placings, and Sender of the Mercy from its centre! O One‑azwj Who Specialised Himself-azwj with the Might and the Loftiness, and His-azwj friends are cherishing with His-azwj Mighty! And O One-azwj the kings place the yoke of humiliation upon their necks, for there are fearing from His-azwj Prowess!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكِبْرِيَائِكَ الَّتِي شَقَقْتَهَا مِنْ عَظَمَتِكَ وَ بِعَظَمَتِكَ الَّتِي اسْتَوَيْتَ بِهَا عَلَى عَرْشِكَ وَ عَلَوْتَ بِهَا عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ كُلُّهُمْ خَاضِعٌ ذَلِيلٌ لِعِزَّتِكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ افْعَلْ بِي أَوْلَى الْأَمْرَيْنِ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
I ask You-azwj with Your-azwj Blessings which You-azwj Derived from Your-azwj Magnificence and by Your-azwj Magnificence which You-azwj were even upon Your-azwj Throne by it, and You-azwj were Lofty upon Your-azwj creatures by it, and all of them are humble, disgraced to Your-azwj Might! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Do with me foremost of the matters. Blessed are You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
قَالَ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ الطَّائِيُّ ثُمَّ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِكُلِّهِ فَقَالَ يَا عَدِيُّ أَ سَمِعْتَ مَا قُلْتُ
Aday Bin Hatim Al-Taie said, ‘Then Amir Al-Momineen-asws turned towards me with all of him‑asws. He-asws said: ‘O Aday! Did you hear what I-asws said?’
أَنَا قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
I said, ‘Yes, O Amir Al-Momineen-asws!’
قَالَ وَ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْحَبَّةَ وَ بَرَأَ النَّسَمَةَ مَا دَعَا بِهِ مَكْرُوبٌ وَ لَا تَوَسَّلَ إِلَى اللَّهِ بِهِ مَكْرُوبٌ وَ لَا مَسْلُوبٌ إِلَّا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ خِنَاقَهُ وَ حَلَّ وَثَاقَهُ وَ فَرَّجَ هَمَّهُ وَ يَسَّرَ غَمَّهُ وَ حَقِيقٌ عَلَى مَنْ بَلَغَهُ أَنْ يَتَحَفَّظَهُ
He-asws said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Split the seed and Formed the person! No distressed one will supplicate with it, nor will a distressed one seek means by it to Allah-azwj, nor a stripped one, except Allah-azwj will Relieve his suffocation, and Loosen his tightness, and Relieve his worries, and Ease his sadness, and it is a right upon the one whom it reaches that he memorises it’.
قَالَ عَدِيٌّ فَمَا تَرَكْتُ الدُّعَاءَ مُنْذُ سَمِعْتُهُ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَتَّى الْآنَ.
Aday said, ‘I did not neglect the supplication since I heard it from Amir Al-Momineen-asws until now!’’[150]
46- الْكَشِّيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْقُرَّاءَ كَانُوا لَا يَخْرُجُونَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ فَخَرَجْنَا وَ خَرَجَ مَعَهُ أَلْفُ رَاكِبٍ فَلَمَّا صِرْنَا بِالسُّقْيَا نَزَلَ فَصَلَّى وَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيِ الشُّكْرِ فَقَالَ فِيهِمَا.
Al Kashi, from Abdul Razzaq, from Ma’mar, from Al Zuhry, and Ali Bin Zayd, from Saeed Bin Al Musayyib who said,
‘The readers (of the Quran) were not going out to Makkah until Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws went out. We went out and a thousand riders went out with him-asws When we came at Suqya, he‑asws descended. He-asws prayed Salat and performed two Sajdah(s) of thanks. He-asws said in these (as above)’’.[151]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ قَالَ: كَانَ الْقَوْمُ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ مَكَّةَ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع فَخَرَجَ وَ خَرَجْتُ مَعَهُ فَنَزَلَ فِي بَعْضِ الْمَنَازِلِ وَ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَسَبَّحَ فِي سُجُودِهِ فَلَمْ يَبْقَ شَجَرٌ وَ لَا مَدَرٌ إِلَّا سَبَّحَ مَعَهُ
And in a report of Al Zuhry, from Saeed bin Al Musayyab who said,
‘The people were not going out from Makkah until Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, Chief of the worshippers, would go out. He-asws went out, and I went out with him-asws. He-asws descended in one of the stops and prayed two Cycles Salat. He-asws glorified in his-asws Sajdah. There neither remained any tree, nor clog except it glorified with him-asws.

‘He (Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws) glorified in his-asws Sajdah. There neither remained any tree nor clog around him except it glorified along with his-asws glorification.

قَالَ وَ كَانَ مِقْدَارُ رُكُوعِهِ وَ سُجُودِهِ ثَلَاثَ تَسْبِيحَاتٍ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةً أَطَالَ فِيهَا حَتَّى بَلَّ عَرَقُهُ الْحَصَا وَ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ أَلْصَقَ خَدَّيْهِ بِأَرْضِ الْمَسْجِدِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And the measurement of his-asws Ruk’u and his-asws Sajdah were of three glorifications or more. When he-asws was free, he-asws performed a Sajdah prolonging in it until his perspiration had wet the pebbles; and one of our companions mentioned that he‑asws adhered his-asws with the ground of the Masjid’’.[163]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الشَّيْبَانِيِّ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ الْجَزَرِيِّ عَنِ الشوباني [الثَّوْبَانِيِ] قَالَ: كَانَتْ لِأَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع بِضْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَجْدَةٌ بَعْدَ ابْيِضَاضِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى وَقْتِ الزَّوَالِ الْحَدِيثَ.
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Hatim, from Abdullah Bin Yahya Al Shaybani, from Al Abbas Al Jazary, from Al Showbany who said,
‘There were some ten years (age) for Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws. Every day he-asws performed a Sajdah after brightness of the sun up to the time of the midday’ – the Hadeeth’’.[164]

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – From Muhammad Bin Musa Bin Al Mutawakkil, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn Al Asadabady, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from the one who mentioned it, said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘Why did Allah-azwj Take Ibrahim-as as a friend?’
قَالَ لِكَثْرَةِ سُجُودِهِ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ.
He-asws said: ‘Due to the frequency of his-as Sajdah upon the ground’’.[165]
54 إِرْشَادُ الْمُفِيدِ، قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع أَعْبَدَ أَهْلِ زَمَانِهِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يُصَلِّي نَوَافِلَ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَصِلُهَا بِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ ثُمَّ يُعَقِّبُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَ يَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِداً فَلَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ وَ التَّحْمِيدِ حَتَّى يَقْرُبَ زَوَالُ الشَّمْسِ وَ كَانَ كَثِيراً مَا يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ الْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ وَ يُكَرِّرُ ذَلِكَ.
(The book) ‘Irshad’ of Al Mufeed, he said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws was the most worshipping of his-asws era’ – up to his words, ‘And it is reported that he-asws used to pray the optional (Salats) of the night and he-asws would connect these with the morning Salat, then he-asws would perform follow-up (acts of worship) until the sun emerged, and he-asws would fall in Sajdah to Allah-azwj and would not raise his-asws head from the supplication and the praising until near to decline of the sun (midday), and he‑asws would frequently be saying: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the comfort at the death, and Pardon at the Reckoning’, and he-asws would keep repeating that’’.[166]

(The book) ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and others,
‘Regarding Sajdah of Al-Zohr (Salat), ‘And it is recommended that he says in his Sajdah as well – ‘O Best of the ones hands of the beggars are raised to, and O most Benevolent of the ones necks of the desirous ones are extended to, and O most Benevolent of the benevolent ones, and O most Merciful of the merciful ones! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, the goodly, the Purified, and the Gentle with me, the hidden with Your-azwj Gentleness regarding my concerns, all of them!’
وَ قَالُوا فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْعَصْرِ فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ أَمْرِرْ يَدَكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِكَ وَ امْسَحْ بِهَا وَجْهَكَ ثَلَاثاً وَ قُلْ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي الْهَمَّ وَ الْغَمَّ وَ الْحُزْنَ وَ الْغِيَرَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ
And they said regarding follow-up of Al Asr (Salat), ‘When you raise your head from the Sajdah, pass your hand upon the place of your Sajdah and wipe your face with it, thrice, and say during each one of these, ‘O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise! There is no god except You-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Remove from me the worries, and the sadness, and the grief, and anything else what is apparent from these and what is hidden!’
وَ قَالُوا فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْمَغْرِبِ ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَ امْسَحْ مَوْضِعَ سُجُودِكَ وَ قُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي الْهَمَّ وَ الْحَزَنَ
And they said regarding follow-up of Al Maghrib (Salat), ‘Then raise your head and wipe the place of your Sajdah, and say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! Remove from me the worries, and the grief!’
وَ قَالُوا فِي تَعْقِيبِ الْعِشَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ مِنْكَ مِنْكَ يَا أَحَدَ مَنْ لَا أَحَدَ لَهُ يَا أَحَدَ مَنْ لَا أَحَدَ لَهُ يَا أَحَدَ مَنْ لَا أَحَدَ لَهُ غَيْرُكَ
And they said regarding follow-up of Al Isha (Salat), ‘Then perform Sajdah, Sajdah of the thanks, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj! You-azwj! You-azwj! The hopes are cut off except from You-azwj, from You-azwj, from You-azwj! O One Who there is no one for Him-azwj! O One Who there is no one for Him-azwj!

And you ask your need, then place your right cheek upon the ground and say similar to that, and place your left cheek upon the ground and say similar to that, then return your forehead to the ground and do Sajdah and say similar to that’’.[167]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his chain from Ziyad Al Qandy who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan-asws the first, ‘Teach me a supplication, for I have been afflicted with something’, and he had been imprisoned at Baghdad whereby he had been accused of (having taken) their wealth.
فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ فَأَطِلِ السُّجُودَ ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا أَحَدَ مَنْ لَا أَحَدَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ نَفَسُكَ ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا مَنْ لَا يَزِيدُهُ كَثْرَةُ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا جُوداً وَ كَرَماً حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ نَفَسُكَ ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ
He-asws wrote to him: ‘When you have prayed Salat, prolong the Sajdah, then say, ‘O One having no one for Him-azwj’ until your breath is cut. Then say, ‘O One Whom frequency of the supplications does not increase Him-azwj except in Generosity and the benevolence’, until your breath is cut. Then say, ‘O Lord-azwj of the lords! You-azwj, You-azwj, You-azwj are Whom the hopes are cut off from (others) except You-azwj! O Exalted! O Mighty!’
قَالَ زِيَادٌ فَدَعَوْتُ بِهِ فَفَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنِّي وَ خَلَّى سَبِيلِي.
Ziyad said, ‘I supplicated with it. Allah-azwj Relieved from me and Freed my way’’.[168]

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ –
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘When worries afflict you, then wipe your hand upon the place of your Sajdah and pass your hand upon your face from a side of your left cheek, and upon a side of your right cheek thrice. You should say during each time: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحَزَنِ وَ السُّقْمِ وَ الْعُدْمِ وَ الصَّغَارِ وَ الذُّلِّ وَ الْفَوَاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ.
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the worries, and the grief, and the sickness, and the lacking, and the belittling, and the humiliation, and the immoralities, whatever is apparent from it and what is hidden’’.[169]

Explanation – And it is reported in ‘Al-Kafi’ – by his chain, from Muhammad Bin Marwan, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘You should wipe your right hand upon your forehead and your face after Al Maghrib (Salat) and the (other) Salats, and you should say, ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj’ – up to the end of what has passed’’.

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel Bin Darraj,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The closest of what the servant can be from his Lord-azwj is what he supplicates to his Lord-azwj while he is in Sajdah. So which thing do you say when you are in Sajdah?’
قُلْتُ عَلِّمْنِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا أَقُولُ
I said, ‘Teach me, may I be sacrificed for you-azwj, what I should be saying!’
قَالَ قُلْ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ يَا مَلِكَ الْمُلُوكِ وَ يَا سَيِّدَ السَّادَاتِ وَ يَا جَبَّارَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ يَا إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا
He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘O Lord-azwj of the lords, and O King of the kings, and O Chief of the chiefs, and O Subduer of the subduers, and O God of the gods! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Do with me such and such!’
ثُمَّ قُلْ فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ نَاصِيَتِي فِي قَبْضَتِكَ ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ اسْأَلْهُ فَإِنَّهُ جَوَادٌ لَا يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَيْءٌ.
Then say, ‘I am Your-azwj servant, my forelock is in Your-azwj Grip!’ Then supplicate with whatever you so desire to, and asked Him-azwj, for He-azwj is the Generous. Nothing is too big for Him-azwj’’.[170]
وَ مِنْهُ فِي الْمُوَثَّقِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: أَبْطَأَ عَلَيَّ أَبِي ع ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَأَتَيْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فِي طَلَبِهِ بَعْدَ مَا هَدَأَ النَّاسُ فَإِذَا هُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ سَاجِدٌ فَسَمِعْتُ حَنِينَهُ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ
And from him in Al Muwassaq,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One night my-asws father-asws was delayed to me-asws, so I-asws went to the Masjid in searching for him-asws after the people had calmed down (evening), and there he-asws was in the Masjid performing Sajdah. I-asws heard his-asws buzz, and he-asws was saying: –
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي حَقّاً حَقّاً سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعِيفٌ فَضَاعِفْهُ لِي اللَّهُمَّ قِنِي عَذَابَكَ يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَكَ وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ.
‘Glory be to You-azwj, O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Lord-azwj truly, truly! I do Sajdah to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, in worship and servitude! O Allah-azwj! My deeds are weak so Multiply it for me! O Allah-azwj! Save me from Your-azwj Punishment on the Day You-azwj Resurrect Your-azwj servants and Turn to me, surely You-azwj are the oft-Turning, the Merciful!’’[171]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ- سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي لِوَجْهِكَ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمِ الْعَظِيمِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الذَّلِيلُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْعَزِيزِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْفَقِيرُ لِوَجْهِ رَبِّيَ الْغَنِيِّ الْكَرِيمِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
And from him,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘He-asws was saying in his-asws Sajdah: -‘I prostrate my decaying face to Your-azwj ever-lasting Face, the permanent, the Mighty! I prostrate my humble face to Your-azwj Honourable Face! I prostrate my poor face to the Face of my Lord‑azwj, the Needless, the Benevolent, the Exalted!
رَبِّ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا كَانَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا يَكُونُ رَبِّ لَا تُجْهِدْ بَلَائِي رَبِّ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي أَعْدَائِي رَبِّ لَا تُسِئْ قَضَائِي رَبِّ إِنَّهُ لَا دَافِعَ وَ لَا مَانِعَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Lord-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from what is happening. Lord-azwj, do not Let my afflictions exhaust me! Lord-azwj, do not Let my enemies gloat with me! Lord-azwj, do not Worsen my Decree! Lord-azwj, surely no one defends nor prevents except You-azwj!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww with the best of Your-azwj Salawaat(s), and Bless upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww with best of Your-azwj Blessings!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَطَوَاتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ غَضَبِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from Your-azwj exceptional Power, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from entirety of Your-azwj Wrath and Annoyance! Glory be to You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ- ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَضَرُّعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ وَحْشَتِي مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ أُنْسِي بِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws was saying while he-asws was in Sajdah: ‘Mercy my humbleness in front of You-azwj, and my beseeching to You-azwj, and my loneliness from the people, and my being comforted by You-azwj, O Benevolent!’
وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً وَعَظْتَنِي فَلَمْ أَتَّعِظْ وَ زَجَرْتَنِي عَنْ مَحَارِمِكَ فَلَمْ أَنْزَجِرْ وَ غَمَرَتْنِي أَيَادِيكَ فَمَا شَكَرْتُ عَفْوَكَ عَفْوَكَ يَا كَرِيمُ أَسْأَلُكَ الرَّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسَابِ
And he-asws was saying as well: ‘You-azwj Preached me but I was not preached, and You-azwj Rebuked me from Your-azwj Prohibitions but I was not rebuked, and You-azwj Immersed me in Your-azwj Favours, but I did not thank You-azwj! Your-azwj Pardon, Your-azwj Pardon, O Benevolent! I ask You-azwj for the comfort at the death, and I ask You-azwj for the Pardon at the Reckoning!’
وَ كَانَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ حَقّاً حَقّاً سَجَدْتُ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً يَا عَظِيمُ إِنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعِيفٌ فَضَاعِفْهُ لِي يَا كَرِيمُ يَا حَنَّانُ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ جُرْمِي وَ تَقَبَّلْ عَمَلِي يَا كَرِيمُ يَا حَنَّانُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَخِيبَ أَوْ أَحْمِلَ ظُلْماً
And Abu Ja’far-asws was saying while he-asws was in Sajdah: ‘There is no god except You-azwj truly, truly! I am doing Sajdah to You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, in worship and servitude! O Mighty! My deeds are weak, so Multiply it for me, O Benevolent! O Affectionate! Forgive my sins and my crimes for me, and Accept my deeds, O Benevolent, O Affectionate! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from being disappointed or carrying injustice!
اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ النِّعْمَةُ وَ أَنْتَ تَرْزُقُ شُكْرَهَا وَ عَلَيْكَ يَكُونُ ثَوَابُ مَا تَفَضَّلْتَ بِهِ مِنْ ثَوَابِهَا بِفَضْلِ طَوْلِكَ وَ بِكَرِيمِ عَائِدَتِكَ.
O Allah-azwj! From You-azwj is the bounty, and You-azwj Grace its thanking, and upon You-azwj occurs the Rewards of what You-azwj have Graced with from its Rewards, by the Grace of Your‑azwj Leniency, and by the Benevolence of Your-azwj Repeating (it)!’’[172]
59 مِصْبَاحُ الشَّيْخِ، وَ غَيْرُهُ كَتَبَ أَبُو إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ فَقَالَ إِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَقُلْ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَ كَفَى بِكَ شَهِيداً وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ وَ رُسُلَكَ وَ جَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ
(The book) ‘Misbah’ of the Sheykh, and others,
‘Abu Ibrahim-asws wrote to Abdullah Bin Jundab. He-asws said: ‘When you do Sajdah, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness and suffice with You-azwj as Witness, and I keep Your-azwj Angels as witness, and Your-azwj Prophets-as, and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and entirety of Your‑azwj creatures, that!
بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَ الْإِسْلَامُ دِينِي وَ مُحَمَّدٌ نَبِيِّي وَ عَلِيٌّ وَلِيِّي وَ الْحَسَنُ وَ الْحُسَيْنُ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْخَلَفُ الصَّالِحُ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَئِمَّتِي بِهِمْ أَتَوَلَّى وَ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ أَتَبَرَّأُ
You-azwj are Allah-azwj my Lord-azwj, and Al-Islam is my religion, and Muhammad-saww is my Prophet-saww, and Ali-asws is my Guardian-asws, and (so are) 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 Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Musa-asws, and Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws, and Ali-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, and the righteous replacement (Al-Mahdi-ajfj). May Your-azwj Salawaat be upon them-asws all as my-asws Imams-asws. With them I am led, and from their-asws enemies I disavow!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ دَمَ الْمَظْلُومِ ثَلَاثاً
O Allah-azwj! I adjure You-azwj of blood of the oppressed!’ – thrice.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ بِوَأْيِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ لَتُظْفِرَنَّهُمْ عَلَى عَدُوِّكَ وَ عَدُوِّهِمْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلَاثاً
O Allah-azwj! I adjure You-azwj upon Yourself-azwj of Protection for Your-azwj friends and to Let them be victorious against Your-azwj enemies and their enemies, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and upon the preserving ones from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-asws!’ – thrice.
وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْشُدُكَ بِوَأْيِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِأَعْدَائِكَ لَتُهْلِكَنَّهُمْ وَ لَتُخْزِيَنَّهُمْ بِأَيْدِيهِمْ وَ أَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلَاثاً
And you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I adjure You-azwj, upon Yourself-azwj for Your-azwj enemies, for You-azwj to Destroy them, and to Disgrace them by their own hands and hands of the Momineen, (and) to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww, and upon the preserving ones from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’ – thrice.
وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْيُسْرَ بَعْدَ الْعُسْرِ ثَلَاثاً
And you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the ease after the difficulty!’ – thrice.
ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا كَهْفِي حِينَ تُعْيِينِي الْمَذَاهِبُ وَ تَضِيقُ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَ يَا بَارِئَ خَلْقِي رَحْمَةً لِي وَ كَانَ عَنْ خَلْقِي غَنِيّاً صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ثَلَاثاً
Then place your right cheek upon the ground and say, ‘O my Cave when the doctrines fatigue me, and the earth is constricted with what I hope for, and O Fashioner of my physique! Mercy me and Make richness to be in my manners! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and upon the preserving ones from the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’ – thrice.
ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ وَ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ قَدْ وَ عِزَّتِكَ بَلَغَ مَجْهُودِي فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي ثَلَاثاً
Then place your left cheek upon the ground and say, ‘O Humiliator of every tyrant, and O Honourer of every humble one! By Your-azwj Might! My struggles have reached the limit, so Relieve me!’ – thrice.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا كَاشِفَ الْكُرَبِ الْعِظَامِ ثَلَاثاً
Then you should say, ‘O Affectionate! O Bestower! O Remover of the mighty distress!’ – thrice.
ثُمَّ تَعُودُ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَتَضَعُ جَبْهَتَكَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ شُكْراً شُكْراً مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ
Then return to the Sajdah, and place your forehead upon the ground and say, ‘Thanks! Thanks!’ – one hundred times.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا سَامِعَ الصَّوْتِ يَا سَابِقَ الْفَوْتِ يَا بَارِئَ النُّفُوسِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
Then you should say, ‘O Listener of the voice! O first to (restore) the loss! O Fashioner of the souls after the death! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww, and Do with me such and such!’’[173]
60 الْكَافِي، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ- أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ حَرُّهَا لَا يُطْفَى وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ جَدِيدُهَا لَا يَبْلَى وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ عَطْشَانُهَا لَا يَرْوَى وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارٍ مَسْلُوبُهَا لَا يُكْسَى.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed Bin Marwan who said,
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws was saying in his Sajdah: ‘I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a Fire it’s heat will not extinguish, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a Fire its renewal does not decay, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a Fire, it’s thirst cannot be saturated, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from a Fire, it’s stripped ones is not clothed!’’[174]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ سَهْلٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رَيَّانَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ عِلَّةَ أُمِّ وَلَدٍ لِي أَخَذْتُهَا فَقَالَ قُلْ لَهَا تَقُولُ فِي السُّجُودِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ- يَا رَبِّي وَ يَا سَيِّدِي صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَافِنِي مِنْ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَبِهَا نَجَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ مِنَ النَّارِ
And from him, from Ali, from Sahl, from Ali Bin Rayyan, from one of our companions,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I complained to him-asws of the illness of a mother of children of mine having seized her. He-asws said: ‘Tell her to say in the Sajdah at the every of every Prescribed Salat, ‘O my Lord-azwj, and O my Master-saww! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Cure me from such and such!’, for by it, Ja’far Bin Suleyman had attained salvation from the fire’.
قَالَ فَعَرَضْتُ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ عَلَى بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِنَا فَقَالَ أَعْرِفُ فِيهِ يَا رَءُوفُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَبِّي يَا سَيِّدِي افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘I presented this Hadeeth to one of our companions. He said, ‘I know in it being, ‘O Kind! O Merciful! O my Lord-azwj! O my Master-azwj! Do with me such and such!’’[175]
بيان: لعل جعفر بن سليمان كان من الأصحاب و ابتلي من المخالفين بالإحراق بالنار فنجاه الله منها بالدعاء و لم يذكر ذلك في الرجال و يحتمل أن يكون المراد نار الآخرة.
Explanation – Perhaps Ja’far Bin Suleyman was from the companions, and he was tried from the adversaries of being burned by the fire. Allah-azwj Rescued him from it due to the supplication, and that is no mentioned in ‘Al-Rijaal’, and it is possible the intended would be Fire of the Hereafter.
61 دَلَائِلُ الْإِمَامَةِ، لِلطَّبَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْمُطَّلِبِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السَّمُرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْمَحْمُودِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْمَحْمُودِيِّ عَنِ الْقَائِمِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ يَقُولُ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ يَا كَرِيمُ مِسْكِينُكَ بِفِنَائِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ فَقِيرُكَ زَائِرُكَ حَقِيرُكَ بِبَابِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ.
(The book) ‘Dalaail Al Imama’ of Al Tabari – from Abdullah Bin Ali Al Muttaliby, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al Samury, from Abu Al-Hassan Al Mahmoudy, from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Ahmad Al Mahmoudy,
‘From Al-Qaim-ajfj having said: ‘Zayn Al Abideen-asws (4th Imam-asws) was saying as his-asws being free from his-asws Salat, in Sajdah of thanks: ‘O Benevolent! Your-azwj beggar is at Your-azwj courtyard! O Benevolent! Your-azwj poor one, Your-azwj, visitor, Your-azwj lowly one is at Your-azwj door, O Benevolent!’’[176]
62 الْفَقِيهُ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا سَجَدَ فَقَالَ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ نَفَسُهُ قَالَ لَهُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى لَبَّيْكَ مَا حَاجَتُكَ.
(The book) ‘Al Faqeeh’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When the servant does Sajdah so he says, ‘O Lord-azwj! O Lord-azwj!’, until his breath is cut, the Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says to him: “Here I-azwj am! What is your need?”’[177]
63 إِخْتِيَارُ ابْنِ الْبَاقِي، عَنْ خَدِيجَةَ الْكُبْرَى قَالَتْ كَانَتْ لَيْلَتِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَإِذَا أَنَا بِهِ سَاجِدٌ كَالثَّوْبِ الطَّرِيحِ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي وَ آمَنَ بِهِ فُؤَادِي رَبِّ هَذِهِ يَدَايَ وَ مَا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي يَا عَظِيماً يُرْجَى لِكُلِّ عَظِيمٍ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الْعَظِيمَةَ
(The book) ‘Ikhtiyar’ of Ibn Al Baqi,
‘From (Syeda) Khadeeja-as Al-Kubra, she-as said: ‘It was my-as night from Rasool-Allah-saww! There I-as was with him-saww in Sajdah, like the cloth having been thrown (completely still). He‑saww was saying: ‘My person is doing Sajdah to You-azwj, and my heart believes in You-azwj! Lord-azwj, there are my hands and what crimes I have committed against myself! O mighty hope of every mighty matter! Forgive for me the mighty sins!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع عَلَّمَنِي ذَلِكَ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي سَمِعْتِهَا فَقُولِيهَا فِي سُجُودِكِ فَمَنْ قَالَهَا فِي سُجُودِهِ لَمْ يَرْفَعْ رَأْسَهُ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ.
Then he-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as taught me-as and instructed me-saww that I-saww should be saying these phrases which you-as heard, therefore say these in your-as Sajdah. The one who says these in his Sajdah will not raise his head until He-azwj Forgive him!’’[178]
