Interpretation (Hadeeth only) – And it is reported in – ‘Majma Al Bayan’, from Al-Sadiq-asws having been asked about this Verse (30:17). He-asws said: ‘You should say ten times when it is morning and when it is evening, ‘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 Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’’
1- جَامِعُ الْأَخْبَارِ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَا مِنْ حَافِظَيْنِ يَرْفَعَانِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَا حَفِظَا فَيَرَى اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي أَوَّلِ الصَّحِيفَةِ خَيْراً وَ فِي آخِرِهَا خَيْراً إِلَّا قَالَ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ اشْهَدُوا أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لِعَبْدِي مَا بَيْنَ طَرَفَيِ الصَّحِيفَةِ.
(The book) ‘Jamie Al Akhbar’ –
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Whatever is raised by the two recording Angels to Allah-azwj the Exalted of what they had recorded, so Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Looks at a good deed being the first page of the register and a good deed being in the last page, except He-azwj Says to His-azwj Angels: “Be witnesses! I-azwj have hereby Forgiven for My-azwj servant whatever is between the two ends of the register!”’[1]
2- الْكَافِي، بِسَنَدِهِ عَنْ غَالِبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ ظِلالُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ قَالَ هُوَ الدُّعَاءُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا وَ هِيَ سَاعَةُ إِجَابَةٍ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his chain from Ghalib Bin Abdullah,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Blessed and Exalted: in the morning and evening [13:15]. He-asws said: ‘It is the supplication before emergence of the sun and before its setting, and it is a time of Answering’’.[2]
وَ مِنْهُ بِسَنَدِهِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ إِبْلِيسَ عَلَيْهِ لَعَائِنُ اللَّهِ يَبُثُّ جُنُودَ اللَّيْلِ مِنْ حِينِ تَغِيبُ الشَّمْسُ وَ تَطْلُعُ فَأَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي هَاتَيْنِ السَّاعَتَيْنِ وَ تَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ إِبْلِيسَ وَ جُنُودِهِ وَ عَوِّذُوا صِغَارَكُمْ فِي هَاتَيْنِ السَّاعَتَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُمَا سَاعَتَا غَفْلَةٍ.
And from him, by his chain, from Jabir,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Iblees-la, may the Curse of Allah-azwj be upon him-la dispatches armies of the night from when the sun disappears and emerges. Therefore, frequent the Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic during these two timings, and seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the evil of Iblees-la and his-la armies, and your young ones should seek Refuge during these two timings, for these are times of heedlessness’’.[3]
3- الْكَافِي، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ شِهَابٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا تَغَيَّرَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاذْكُرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ مَعَ قَوْمٍ يَشْغَلُونَكَ فَقُمْ وَ ادْعُ.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By his chain from Shihab who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘When the sun changes, do Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and if you were to be with a group who are pre-occupying you, arise and leave!’’[4]
4- مَجَالِسُ الْمُفِيدِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِالْعَبْدِ يَكْتُبُ فِي صَحِيفَةِ أَعْمَالِهِ فَأَمْلُوا فِي أَوَّلِهَا خَيْراً وَ آخِرِهَا خَيْراً يُغْفَرْ لَكُمْ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ.

Enter from whichever (door) you so desire!’, let him say when it is morning: –

‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Goes with the night by His-azwj Power and Comes with the day by His-azwj Mercy as new creations! Welcome to the two recorders from the recorder, and may Allah-azwj Keep you both alive!’
ثُمَّ يَلْتَفِتُ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ يَقُولُ اكْتُبَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ
Then he should turn to his left and say, ‘Write, in the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him‑azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servants and His-azwj Rasool-saww!

And I testify that the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and that Allah will Resurrect the ones in the graves [22:7]. Upon that I shall live and upon that I shall die, and upon that I shall be Resurrected if Allah-azwj so Desires! O Allah-azwj! Convey the greetings from me to Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws’’.[6]

‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj the Favourer, the Beautifier, the Benefactor, the Gracious Who Completed the righteous deeds by His-azwj Bounties! He-azwj Listens to the speaker praising Allah-azwj and His-azwj bounties, and His-azwj goodly afflictions with us. We seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Fire! We seek Refuge from morning of the Fire! We seek Refuge from evening of the Fire! The Salat, O People-asws of the Household!

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who recites Surah Al Tawheed eleven times before emergence of the sun, and similar to it Surah Al Qadr, and similar to it Ayat Al Kursy, will have defended his wealth from what he fears; and one who recites Surah Al Tawheed, and Surah Al Qadr before the emergence of dawn, will not be afflicted on that day by a sin, and even if Iblees-la were to exert efforts!’
وَ قَالَ ع اطْلُبُوا الرِّزْقَ فِيمَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِنَّهُ أَسْرَعُ فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ مِنَ الضَّرْبِ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ هِيَ السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي يَقْسِمُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا الرِّزْقَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِهِ.
And he-asws said: ‘Seek the sustenance during what is between the emergence of dawn up to emergence of the sun, for it is quicker in seeking the sustenance than the striking in the land, and it is the timing during which Allah-azwj Apportions the sustenance between His-azwj servants’’.[13]

‘From Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘I-asws heard Al-Sadiq-asws saying: ‘We come to the evening and evening is the Kingdom for Allah-azwj the One, the Subduer, and the Praise for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds Who Goes with the day and Comes with the night, and we are in well-being from Him-azwj!
اللَّهُمَ هَذَا خَلْقٌ جَدِيدٌ قَدْ غَشَّانَا فَمَا عَلِمْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَسَهِّلْهُ وَ قَيِّضْهُ وَ اكْتُبْهُ أَضْعَافاً مُضَاعَفَةً وَ مَا عَلِمْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ شَرٍّ فَتَجَاوَزْ عَنْهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! This is a new creation we are living in. Whatever good I do during it, Make it easier and Take it and Write it as double, and whatever evil I do in it, Overlook from it by Your-azwj Mercy!
أَمْسَيْتُ لَا أَمْلِكُ مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَدْفَعُ شَرَّ مَا أَخْشَى أَمْسَى الْأَمْرُ لِغَيْرِي وَ أَمْسَيْتُ مُرْتَهَناً بِكَسْبِي وَ أَمْسَيْتُ لَا فَقِيرَ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي فَسَعْ لِفَقْرِي مِنْ سَعَتِكَ مِمَّا كَتَبْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
I have come to an evening, I do not own what I hoped for, nor did I defend against evil of what I had feared. The Command in the evening is for others and I have come to the evening pledged with my earnings, and I have come to the evening there is poor poorer than me, therefore be Capacious for my poverty from Your-azwj Capaciousness from what You-azwj have Written upon Yourself-azwj!

And I ask You-azwj for the piety for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live, and the Benevolence when You-azwj Harmonise me (to the good), and the patience upon whatever You-azwj Try me, and the Blessings in what You-azwj Grace me, and the Determination upon obeying You-azwj in what has remained from my lifespan, and the thanking to You-azwj regarding what You-azwj have Favoured with upon me!’’[15]

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of Ibn Al Sheykh, from Ahmad Bin Haroun Bin Al Salt, from Ibn Uqba, from Al Qasim Bin Ja’far Bin Ahmad, from Abbad Bin Ahmad Al Qazwiny, from his uncle Abu Al Mujalid ,from Zayd Bin Wahb, from Abu Al Munzir Al Juheyni who said,
‘I said, ‘O Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj! Teach me the best speech!’
قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فَأَنْتَ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَفْضَلُ النَّاسِ عَمَلًا إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتَ
He-saww said: ‘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. He-azwj Causes to life and die, the good is in His-azwj Hand and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’ – one hundred times during every day, so on that day you will be best of the people in actions except for the one who says similar to what you have said.
وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
And frequent from (saying) ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
وَ لَا تَنْسَيَنَّ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ فَإِنَّهَا مَمْحَاةٌ لِلْخَطَايَا بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ.
And do not forget to seek the Forgiveness in your Salat, for it is a deletion of the sins by the Permission of Allah-azwj’’.[16]
15- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ تَمِيمِ بْنِ بُهْلُولٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- وَ سَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِها
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al Qattan, from Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Zakariya, from Bakr Bin Abdullah Bin Habeeb, from Tameem Bin Bahloul, from his father, from Ismail Bin Al Fazl who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about Words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: and Glorify with the Praise of your Lord before the emergence of the sun and before its setting [20:130].
فَقَالَ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِعَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
He-asws said: ‘It is an imposition upon every Muslim that he says ten times before emergence of the sun and ten times before it’s setting, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Alive and will not be dying. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِى
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj. For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj Causes to die and live!’
فَقَالَ يَا هَذَا لَا شَكَّ فِي أَنَّ اللَّهَ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ.
He-asws said: ‘O you! There is no doubt that Allah-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj Causes to die and live, but say like what I-asws said!’’[17]
بيان: حمل الفرض على التقدير و التعيين أو على تأكد الاستحباب لعدم القول بالوجوب و ضعف السند و الأحوط عدم الترك.
Explanation – It is the imposition upon the measurement and exactness, or upon emphasising the recommendation due to lack of the word with the obligation, and the chain is weak, and it better to avoid the neglect.

‘O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness, whatever bounty has come to be with me in evening and morning, or well-being in religion or world, it is from You-azwj Alone. There is no associate for You-azwj! For You-azwj is the thanking for it upon me until You-azwj are Satisfied, our God‑azwj!’’[18]

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘In a son of Adam-as there are three hundred and sixty veins, and one hundred and eighty are moving and one hundred and eight are still. If the moving were to be still, he will not sleep, of the still were to move he will not sleep.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says four times when it is morning, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds’, so he has fulfilled thanks of his day, and one who says it when it is evening, has fulfilled thanks of his night’’.[26]

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from his father and Amro Bin Usman and Ayoub Bin Nuh, altogether from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Abdullah Bin Muskan, from Lays Al Murady, from Al Kareem Bin Utbah Al Hashimy who said,
‘One who says ten times before emergence of the sun and before its setting, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Alive and will not be dying! The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’, it would be an atonement for his sins during that day’’.[27]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – By a correct chain as well, from Abdul Kareem –
‘Similar to it except that in it is: ‘He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj Causes to die and live!’’[28]
26- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ رَأَيْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ ره سُئِلَ عَطَاءٌ مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ص خَيْرُ الدُّعَاءِ دُعَائِي وَ دُعَاءُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ قَبْلِي وَ هُوَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ وَ لَيْسَ هَذَا دُعَاءٌ وَ هُوَ تَقْدِيسٌ وَ تَحْمِيدٌ
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ –
I saw in the handwriting of Al-Shaheed, ‘Ata’a was asked, ‘What is meaning of words of the Prophet-saww, ‘Best of the supplications is my-saww supplication and supplication of the Prophets-as before me-saww and it is: – ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj’ – up to end of what has passed, and this isn’t a supplication, and it is extollations of Holiness, and the Praise.
فَقَالَ عَطَاءٌ هَذَا كَمَا قَالَ أُمَيَّةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّلْتِ-
| أَ أَذْكُرُ حَاجَتِي أَمْ قَدْ كَفَانِي | حِبَاؤُكَ إِنَّ شِيمَتَكَ الْحِبَاءُ | |
| إِذَا أَثْنَى عَلَيْكَ الْمَرْءُ يَوْماً | كَفَاهُ مِنْ تَعَرُّضِهِ الثَّنَاءُ |
Ata’a said, ‘This is like what Umayya Bin Abu Al-Salt (a poet) said, ‘Should I mention my need, or has Your-azwj Love sufficed me? Your affection, indeed, is my cherished goal. When a person praises You one day, it is sufficient to shield him from the need for more commendation’.
أَ فَيَعْلَمُ ابْنُ جُدْعَانَ مَا يُرَادُ مِنْهُ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَعْلَمُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مَا يُرَادُ مِنْهُ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ.
Does Ibn Jud’an know what he wanted from Him-azwj with the praise upon Him-azwj, and Allah‑azwj the Exalted does not Know what He-azwj Wants from him with the praising upon Him‑azwj?’’[29] (not a Hadeeth)

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from Al-Hassan Bin Zareyf, from Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from Hammad Bin usman, from Abu Hamza who said,
‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘One who exclaims Greatness of Allah-azwj with one hundred Takbeers before emergence of the sun and before its setting, Allah-azwj will Write for him from the Recompense, like Recompense of the one who liberated one hundred necks!
وَ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَ إِنْ زَادَ زَادَهُ اللَّهُ.
And one who says, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise’, Allah-azwj will Write ten good deeds being for him, and if he increases, Allah-azwj will Increase him’’.[30]

And from him, from Ali Bin Sayf, from his brother Al-Husayn, from Malik Bin Atiya, from Zureys Al Kunasy,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww passed by a man planting a plant in a garden of his. He-saww paused to him. He-saww said to him: ‘Shall I-saww point you upon something of more affirmed roots, and quicker of growth, and better fruits, and more lasting?’
قَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!

He-saww said: ‘When it is morning and evening, say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest’, for there shall be for you, with every glorification, trees in the Paradise of a variety of fruits, and it is the ‘lasting righteous deeds’!’’[31]

There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ – three times when it is morning, and three times when it is evening, will neither fear a Satan-la, nor a ruler, nor leprosy, nor vitiligo’.

And I seek Refuge with the Honourable Face of Allah-azwj, and in the Name of Allah-azwj the Magnificent, from evil of what He-azwj has Created and brought forth, and from evil of what is beneath the soil, and from evil of what is apparent and what is hidden, and from evil of what is in the night and the day, and from evil of ‘Abu Qitra’ and what he begets, and from evil of what I have described and what I did not describe, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
قَالَ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهَا أَمَانٌ مِنْ كُلِّ سَبُعٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ مَا عَضَّ وَ لَسَعَ وَ لَا يَخَافُ صَاحِبُهَا إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا لِصّاً وَ لَا غُولًا.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And he-asws mentioned that it is a safety from every predator, and from evil of the Pelted Satan-la and his-la offspring, and from evil of hurts, and what bites, and stings, and its owner will neither fear any thief when he speaks with it, nor a Ghoul’’.[37]
29- تَفْسِيرُ الْإِمَامِ ع، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِرَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ لَا يُصِيبَكَ شَرُّ الْأَعَادِي فَقُلْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ- أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ فَإِنَ اللَّهَ يُعِيذُكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِمْ
Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws – from the Prophet-saww having said to a man from his-saww companions: ‘When you want not to be afflicted by evil of the enemies, then say when it is morning, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Pelted Satan-la’, for Allah-azwj will Shelter you from their-la harms.
وَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنَكَ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَ الْحَرَقِ وَ السَّرَقِ فَقُلْ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا يَصْرِفُ السُّوءَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا يَسُوقُ الْخَيْرَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
And when you want to be safe after that, from the drowning, and the burning, and the theft, then say when it is morning, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! No one turns away the evil except Allah-azwj! In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! No one ushers the good except Allah-azwj!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنَ اللَّهِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ
In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires. Whatever bounty happens, it is from Allah-azwj! In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent. In the Name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his‑saww Progeny-asws, the goodly!
فَإِنَّ مَنْ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً إِذَا أَصْبَحَ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْحَرَقِ وَ الْغَرَقِ وَ السَّرَقِ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَ مَنْ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً إِذَا أَمْسَى أَمِنَ مِنَ الْحَرَقِ وَ الْغَرَقِ وَ السَّرَقِ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ
The one who says it thrice when it is morning will be safe from the burning, and the drowning, and theft, until morning, and the one who says it thrice when it is evening, will be safe from the burning, and the drowning, and the theft until morning.

And Al-Khizr-as and Ilyas-as used to meet during every season (Hajj). Whenever they-as separated, they-as separated on these phrases, and that is a slogan of my-asws Shias, and by it my-asws enemies will be distinguished from my-asws friends on the day of emergence of their-asws Qaim-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-ajfj’’.[38]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws regarding Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: And remember your Lord within yourself humbly and fearing and without the loudness from the words, in the morning and the evening, [7:205].
قَالَ تَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
He-asws said: ‘You should say in the evening, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
قُلْتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ
I said, ‘The good is in His-azwj Hand!’
قَالَ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ لَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ لَكَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنْ هَمَزاتِ الشَّياطِينِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ حِينَ تَطْلُعُ الشَّمْسُ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ حِينَ تَغْرُبُ.
He-asws said: ‘The good is in His-azwj Hand, but say like what I-asws have said to you, ten times, and, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah (s.w.t) the Hearing, the Knowing, from the slander of Satan-la, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj, Lord-azwj, from their-la presence, surely Allah-azwj, He-azwj is the Hearing, the Knowing’ – ten times when the sun emerges, and ten times when it sets’’.[39]

And say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him‑azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’

A man said to him-asws, ‘Is it necessary?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ مَفْرُوضٌ هُوَ مَحْدُودٌ تَقُولُهُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِنْ فَاتَكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا فَاقْضِهِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ.
He-asws said: ‘Yes, it is necessary, limited. You should say it ten times before emergence of the sun and before the sunset. If you miss out something from it, then fulfil it from the night and the day’’.[41]

Al Ayyashi – from Hafs Al Bakhtari,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘But rather Noah-as is named as a grateful servant is because he-as was saying when it was morning and evening: ‘O Allah-azwj! Whatever bounty is with me in the morning and evening, or well-being in religion or world, is from You-azwj! There is no associate for You-azwj. For You-azwj is the Praise and upon me is to thank You-azwj for it until You-azwj are Satisfied and after the Satisfaction!’ – he should say it ten times when it is morning, and ten times when it is evening’’.[42]

‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘What did Allah-azwj Mean by His‑azwj Words: Surely, he was a grateful servant [17:3]?’
فَقَالَ كَلِمَاتٍ بَالَغَ فِيهِنَّ
He-asws said: ‘Extensive words regarding these’.
وَ قَالَ كَانَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ أَمْسَى قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّهُ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فِي دِينٍ أَوْ دُنْيَا فَإِنَّهُ مِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ فَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ بِهِ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا فَسُمِّيَ بِذَلِكَ عَبْداً شَكُوراً.
And he-asws said: ‘Whenever it was morning and evening, he-as said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I have come to a morning keeping You-azwj as Witness that whatever bounty has come to be with me, in religion or world, it is from You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj!

(The book) ‘Al Makraim’ –
‘From Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘In a son of Adam-as, there are three hundred and sixty veins – moving and still. If the still one were to move, the human being will not remain (alive), and if the moving were to be still, the human being would die’.
قَالَ وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَقُولُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَثِيراً طَيِّباً عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثَمِائَةٍ وَ سِتِّينَ مَرَّةً شُكْراً.
He-asws said: ‘And it was so, the Prophet-saww during every day, when it was morning and the sun emerged, said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, abundant, good, upon all situations!’, saying it three hundred and sixty times, thanking’’.[48]

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the former ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the latter ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww among the Exalted Assembly, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww among the Messengers-as!

O Allah-azwj! I have believed in Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and I have not seen him-saww, therefore do not Deprive me on the Day of Qiyamah of seeing him-saww, and Grace me his-saww company, and Cause me to die upon his-saww religion, and Quench me from his-saww Fountain a saturating drinks, fulfilling, welcoming, I will not be thirsty after it, ever! Surely You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا آمَنْتُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَعَرِّفْنِي فِي الْجِنَانِ وَجْهَهُ

The who sends Salawaat unto the Prophet-saww with these Salawaat(s), his sins will be demolished, and his mistakes (minor sins) will be Forgiven, and his happiness will be constant, and his supplication will be Answered, and his wishes will be Granted, and there will be an extension for him in his sustenance, and he will be Assisted against his enemies, and causes of a variety of good will be Revived for him, and he will be Made to be from friends of His-azwj Prophet-saww in front of him-saww in the Lofty Gardens – saying it three times in the morning and three times in the evening!’’[50]

‘From the deed at the changing of the sun for the setting, you should do and be saying like what we are reporting by our chains to Al-Rabie Bin Muhammad Bin Umar Al-Muslie, and ‘Muslie’ is a tribe from Mizhaj, by his chain in the book, the original of it is from Sallam Bin Abu Umra from Abu Ja’far-asws.

He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was such, whenever the sun reddened (before setting) upon top of the mountain, his-saww eyes filled with tears. Then he-saww said: ‘I have come to evening and my injustices are seeking shelter with Your-azwj Pardon, and I have come to an evening, my sins are seeking shelter with Your-azwj Forgiveness, and in the evening my fear is seeking shelter with Your-azwj Safety, and in the evening my humbleness is seeking Shelter with Your‑azwj Honour, and in the evening my poverty is seeking shelter with Your-azwj Richness, and in the evening my decaying perishable face is seeking shelter with Your-azwj ever-lasting Honourable Face!

(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
I am saying, ‘And he should glorify and extol Oneness at sunset and after the dawn like what we are reporting from Muhammad Bin Al-Ash’as Al-Mashoud by his trusted ones, by his chain to Al-Sadiq-asws: –
أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع كَانَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ يَقُولُ مَرْحَباً بِكُمَا مِنْ مَلَكَيْنِ حَفِيظَيْنِ كَرِيمَيْنِ أُمْلِي عَلَيْكُمَا مَا تُحِبَّانِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَلَا يَزَالُ فِي التَّسْبِيحِ وَ التَّهْلِيلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ وَ كَذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ
‘Whenever it was morning, Ali-asws would say: ‘Welcome to you both from the honourable recording Angels! I shall be dictating to you what you will be loving, if Allah-azwj so Desires!’ He-asws would not cease to be in the glorification and extolling the Oneness until the sun emerged, and similar to that after Al-Asr until the sun would set.
وَ يَقُولُ مَا رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْجَبَّانِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُفْيَانَ الْبَزَوْفَرِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَخْلَدٍ- عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هُلَيْلٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ- عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ
And he-asws would say, what is reported by Ahmad Bin Usman Bin Ahmad Al-Jabbany who said, ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Ali Bin Sufyan Al-Bazoufary, from Ali Bin Makhlad, from Hammam Bin Naheyk, from Ahmad Bin Huleyl, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Umayya Bin Ali who said,
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَنْ قَالَ عِنْدَ غُرُوبِ الشَّمْسِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ يَا مَنْ خَتَمَ النُّبُوَّةَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص اخْتِمْ لِي فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا بِخَيْرٍ وَ سَنَتِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ عُمُرِي بِخَيْرٍ فَمَاتَ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ أَوْ فِي تِلْكَ الْجُمْعَةِ أَوْ فِي ذَلِكَ الشَّهْرِ أَوْ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said to me: ‘One who says during every day at setting of the sun, ‘O One‑azwj Who Ended the Prophet-hood with Muhammad-saww, End for me with goodness during this day of mine, and this year with goodness, and my lifespan with goodness!’, so he died during that night or during that week, or during that month, or during that year will enter the Paradise’.
أَقُولُ وَ يُكَبِّرُ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ قَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ فَقَدْ رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَ هُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا الثِّقَاتِ فِي كِتَابِ ثَوَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع مَنْ قَالَ مِائَةَ مَرَةٍ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ قَبْلَ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ عِتْقِ مِائَةِ رَقَبَةٍ
I am saying, ‘And he should exclaim Greatness of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majestic, one hundred Takbeers before the sunset. We are reporting by our chains to Ja’far Bin Suleyman, and he is from out trusted companions, in the book ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’, Ali-asws Bin Al Husayn‑asws: ‘One who says one hundred times, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest’, before the sun disappears, it would be better than liberating one hundred necks!’
وَ رَوَيْنَا أَيْضاً عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ فَضْلِ الدُّعَاءِ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّ مَنْ كَبَّرَ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ تَكْبِيرَةٍ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا كُتِبَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ كَأَجْرِ مَنْ أَعْتَقَ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ
And we are reporting as well from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from the book ‘Fazl Al Du’a’, from Al-Baqir-asws: ‘The one who extols Greatness of Allah-azwj one hundred Takbeer(s) before emergence of the sun and before its setting, there would be Written for him from the Recompense like Recompense of the one who liberates one hundred necks!’
وَ رَوَيْنَاهُ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع بِلَفْظِ رِوَايَةِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى ره- عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ هَارُونَ بْنِ حُمْدُونٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ- عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ أَخِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ- عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ الْمُسْتَرِقِّ عَنْ مُحَسِّنٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ شُعَيْبٍ-
And we are reporting from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah by his chain to Ali Bin Al Husayn-asws by wording of a report by Ja’far Bin Suleyman, and he should say as well what is reported by Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Hammam, from Al Husayn Bin Haroun Bin Humdoun Al Madainy, from Ibrahim Bin Mahziyar, from his brother Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Abu Dawood Al Mustariq, from Muhassin, from Yaqoub Bin Shueyb,
عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ مَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ أَنْ يَقُولَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ أَمْسَى ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ- اللَّهُمَّ مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘It is upon every one of you that he should be saying when it is morning and evening, three times, ‘O Allah-azwj, Turner of the hearts and the sights! Affirm my heart upon Your-azwj religion and do not Let my heart deviate after Your-azwj having Guided me, and Gift to me Mercy from Yourself-azwj, surely You-azwj are the Benefactor, and Shelter me from the Fire by Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ امْدُدْ لِي فِي عُمُرِي وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِي وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقِيّاً فَاجْعَلْنِي سَعِيداً فَإِنَّكَ تَمْحُو مَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَكَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ
O Allah-azwj! Extend for me in my lifespan and Expand my sustenance upon me, and Spread upon me from Your-azwj Mercy, and if I were to be wretched with You-azwj in Mother of the Book, Make me fortunate, for You-azwj Delete whatever You-azwj so Desire and Affirm, and with You-azwj is Mother of the Book!
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ- عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي خَدِيجَةَ- عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ الدُّعَاءُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ غُرُوبِهَا سُنَّةٌ وَاجِبَةٌ مَعَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْمَغْرِبِ
And he should say as well what is reported by Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Ali-asws, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Hashim, from Abu Khadeeja, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The supplication before emergence of the sun and before its setting is an obligatory Sunnah with emergence of the sun and the sunset.
يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ-
He should say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and for Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die, and Causes to die and live, and He-azwj is Living, not to be dying. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’ – ten times.
وَ يَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ أَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.
And he should say, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the Hearing, the Knowing, from slander of the Satans-la, and I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from their-la presence, surely Allah-azwj, He-azwj is the Hearing, the Knowing!’ – ten times’’.[52]
الْكَافِي، عَنِ الْعِدَّةِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ فَإِنْ نَسِيتَ قَضَيْتَ كَمَا تَقْضِي الصَّلَاةَ إِذَا نَسِيتَهَا.
(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from the number, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ali similar to it except there is an increase in it: ‘Before emergence of the sun and before the setting. If he forgets, he should fulfil just as he fulfils the Salat when he forgets it’’.[53]
39- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رَوَاهُ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ بقاع [بَقَّاحٍ] عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ الْبَجَلِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَ أَمْسَيْتَ فَضَعْ يَدَكَ عَلَى رَأْسِكَ ثُمَّ أَمْرِرْهَا عَلَى وَجْهِكَ ثُمَّ خُذْ بِمَجَامِعِ لِحْيَتِكَ وَ قُلْ أَحَطْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي مِنْ غَائِبٍ وَ شَاهِدٍ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ-
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ – ‘And he should say as well what is reported by Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Muhammad Bin Ali, from Al Hassan Bin Ali Bin Baqa’a, from Abdul Al Salaam Bin Salim Al Bajaly, from Aamir Bin Uzafir,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When it is morning and evening, place your hand upon your head, then pass it upon your face, then grab your entire beard and say, ‘I seek Protection upon myself, and my wife, and my wealth, and my children, from unseen and seen, with Allah‑azwj Who there is no god except He-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful!

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]’.
فَإِذَا قُلْتَهَا بِالْغَدَاةِ حُفِظْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَ أَهْلِكَ وَ مَالِكَ وَ وُلْدِكَ حَتَّى تُمْسِيَ وَ إِذَا قُلْتَهَا بِاللَّيْلِ حُفِظْتَ حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ
When you have said it in the morning, you will be protected regarding yourself, and your wife, and your wealth, and your children until evening, and when you say it at night, you will be protected until morning’.

And he should say as well what is reported by Safwan Bin Yahya, raising it in his book, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘But rather, Noah-as was named as ‘grateful servant’ because he-as was saying this at every morning and evening: ‘O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness, whatever well being or bounty has come to be with me in the morning and evening, in religion or world, it is from You-azwj Alone. There is no associate for You-azwj. For You-azwj is the Praise and for You-azwj is the thanks upon all situations!’’
وَ زَادَ جَدِّي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ فِي رِوَايَتِهِ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا
And my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi increased in his report after his-asws words: ‘For You-azwj is the Praise, and for You-azwj is the thanks until You-azwj are Satisfied, and after the Satisfaction!’
أَقُولُ وَ مِمَّا رَوَيْنَاهُ عَنْ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ فِيمَا يَرْوِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ شَيْخِ الْقُمِّيِّينَ فِي زَمَانِهِ وَ وَجَدْتُهُ بِخَطِّ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنْ عَبَّاسِ بْنِ عَامِرٍ- عَنْ رَبِيعِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْلِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ- عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ أَبِي عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ قَالَ
I am saying, ‘And from what we are reporting from my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi among what he reported from Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Mahboub Sheykh of the people of Qum during his era, and I found it being in the handwriting of my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may the Satisfaction of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty be upon him. He said, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Abbas Bin Aamir, from Rabie Bin Muhammad Al Muslie, from Abu Saeed, from Aban Bin Abu Ayyash, from Anas Bin Malik (well known fabricator) who said,
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ مَرَّةً إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ مَرَّةً إِذَا أَمْسَى بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَكاً إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ مَعَهُ مِكْسَاحٌ مِنَ الْفِضَّةِ يَكْسَحُ لَهُ مِنْ طِينِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ هُوَ مِسْكٌ أَذْفَرُ ثُمَّ يَغْرِسُ لَهُ غَرْساً ثُمَّ يُحِيطُ عَلَيْهِ حَائِطاً ثُمَّ يُبَوِّبُ عَلَيْهِ بَاباً ثُمَّ يُغْلِقُهُ ثُمَّ يَكْتُبُ عَلَى الْبَابِ هَذَا بُسْتَانُ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ-
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj the Magnificent’, one when it is morning, and once when it is evening, Allah-azwj will Dispatch an Angel to the Paradise with him, a spoonful of silver scooped out for him from the clay of Paradise, and it is yellow Musk, then a plant is planted for him, then a wall is built for it, then doors are made for him, then closed. Then it is written upon the door, ‘This is an orchard of so and so, son of so and so!’’
أَقُولُ وَ رَأَيْتُهُ قَدْ رَوَاهُ أَيْضاً الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْلِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ أَصْلِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ مِنْ غَيْرِ عَجَبٍ مَحَا اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلْفَ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ أَثْبَتَ لَهُ أَلْفَ حَسَنَةٍ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ أَلْفَ شَفَاعَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ أَلْفَ دَرَجَةٍ وَ خَلَقَ لَهُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْكَلِمَةِ طَائِراً أَبْيَضَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يَكْتُبُ لِقَائِلِهَا.
I am saying, ‘And I saw it having been reported as well by Al-Rabie Bin Muhammad Al Muslie in his original book by his chain to Muhammad Bin Talha, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise! Glory be to Allah-azwj the Magnificent’, from without pride, Allah-azwj will Delete from him a thousand evil deeds, and Affirm for him a thousand good deeds, and Write for him a thousand intercessions, and Raise for him a thousand ranks, and Create for him from those phrases, a white bird saying, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise! Glory be to Allah-azwj the Magnificent’, up to the Day of Qiyamah, and it will be written for its speaker’’.[54]

(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
I am saying, ‘We are reporting by our chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may the Satisfaction of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, be upon him, among supplication of Al Maghrib ‘Dual Al-Asharaat’. He said, ‘And it is recommended to supplicate with ‘Du’a Al-Asharaat’ in the morning and in the evening, and its best is after Al Asr on the day of Friday, and it is: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ

Glory be to Allah-azwj, when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17] And for Him is the Praise in the skies and the earth, and at sunset and when you come up to midday [30:18].
يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ يُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ يُحْيِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها وَ كَذلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
He Extracts the living from the dead and Extracts the dead from the living, and Revives the earth after its death, and like that you would be coming out [30:19]. Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasool(s) [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182].

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ عَشْراً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَ هُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ
Then you should say ten times, ‘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 the Subtle, the Informed!’
وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And you should say ten times, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him-azwj is the Praise! He-azwj Causes to die and live, and He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj is Living and will not be dying! The goodness is in His-azwj Hand and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ-

وَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ اصْنَعْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَصْنَعْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ أَنَا أَهْلُ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْخَطَايَا فَارْحَمْنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And you should say after that, ‘O Allah-azwj! Do with me what You-azwj are rightful of, and do not Do with me what I am rightful of, surely You-azwj are rightful of being feared, and rightful to Forgive, and I am one with the sins and the mistakes, therefore Mercy me, O my Master‑asws and You-azwj are most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً وَ هَذَا آخِرُ دُعَاءِ الْعَشَرَاتِ.
And you should say ten times, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! I have relied upon the Living Who will not be dying! ‘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]’ – and this is end of ‘Dua Al Asharaat’’.[55]
41- فَلَاحُ السَّائِلِ، وَ أَمَانُ الْأَخْطَارِ، أَقُولُ وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عِنْدَ مَبِيتِهِ عَلَى فِرَاشِ النَّبِيِّ ص يَقِيهِ بِمُهْجَتِهِ مِنَ الْأَعْدَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ مُهِمَّاتِ الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ وَ الْمَسَاءِ وَجَدْنَاهُ مَرْوِيّاً عَنْ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع
(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’, and ‘Amaan Al Akhtaar’ –
I am saying, ‘And he should say as well what our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws said during his-asws night upon the bed of the Prophet-saww to save him-asws from the enemies with its shield, for it is from the important supplications in the morning and evening. We found it being reported from our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws.
أَنَّهُ لَمَّا قَدِمَ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ حَيْثُ طَلَبَهُ الْمَنْصُورُ اجْتَمَعَ إِلَيْهِ النَّاسُ فَقَالُوا يَا مَوْلَانَا تُرْبَةُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ فَهَلْ مِنْ أَمَانٍ مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ
When he-asws arrived to Al-Iraq, Al-Mansour sought him-asws, the people gathered to him-asws. They said, ‘O our Master-asws! Soil of the grave of Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon him-asws is a healing from every disease, is it a security from every fear?’
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُونَ أَمَاناً مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ فَلْيَأْخُذِ السُّبْحَةَ مِنْ تُرْبَتِهِ وَ يَدْعُو بِدُعَاءِ الْمَبِيتِ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ هُوَ أَمْسَيْتُ
He-asws said: ‘Yes. Whenever one of you wants to be safe from every fear, let him take the rosary (made) from his-asws soul, and supplication with ‘Dua Al Mabeyt’ upon his bed three times while it is evening: –
اللَّهُمَّ مُعْتَصِماً بِذِمَامِكَ وَ جِوَارِكَ الْمَنِيعِ الَّذِي لَا يُطَاوَلُ وَ لَا يُحَاوَلُ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ غَاشِمٍ وَ طَارِقٍ مِنْ سَائِرِ مَنْ خَلَقْتَ وَ مَا خَلَقْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ الصَّامِتِ وَ النَّاطِقِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَخُوفٍ بِلِبَاسٍ سَابِغَةٍ حَصِينَةٍ وَلَاءِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ ع مُحْتَجِباً مِنْ كُلِّ قَاصِدٍ لِي إِلَى أَذِيَّةٍ بِجِدَارٍ حَصِينٍ
‘O Allah-azwj! Holding on to Your-azwj Protection and Your-azwj Invincible shield which can neither be broken or penetrated, from evil of every brute and night-comer from rest of the one You‑azwj Created and what You-azwj Created from Your-azwj creation, the silent and the speaking, from every feared person, fortified by the Wilayah of People-asws of the Household of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, veiled from every one aiming at me to harm, by a fortified wall!
الْإِخْلَاصِ فِي الِاعْتِرَافِ بِحَقِّهِمْ وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِحَبْلِهِمْ مُوقِناً أَنَّ الْحَقَّ لَهُمْ وَ مَعَهُمْ وَ فِيهِمْ وَ بِهِمْ أُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَوْا وَ أُجَانِبُ مَنْ جَانَبُوا وَ أُعَادِي مَنْ عَادَوْا فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
I am sincere in the acknowledgment of their-asws rights, and holding on to their-asws rope, convince that the truth is for them-asws, and with them-asws, and in them-asws, and by them-asws I befriend the ones they-asws befriend, and I shun the ones they-asws shunned, and I am inimical to the ones they-asws are inimical to, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!
وَ أَعِذْنِي اللَّهُمَّ بِهِمْ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا أَتَّقِيهِ يَا عَظِيمُ حَجَزْتُ الْأَعَادِيَ عَنِّي بِبَدِيعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِنَّا جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ
O Allah-azwj! And Shelter me through them-asws from evil of all what I fear, O Mighty, Keep away my enemies from me with Your-azwj Dominion of the skies and the earth, 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]’.
ثُمَّ يُقَبِّلُ السُّبْحَةَ وَ يَضَعُهَا عَلَى عَيْنَيْهِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ التُّرْبَةِ وَ بِحَقِّ صَاحِبِهَا وَ بِحَقِّ جَدِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ وَ بِحَقِّ أُمِّهِ وَ بِحَقِّ أَخِيهِ وَ بِحَقِّ وُلْدِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ اجْعَلْهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ وَ أَمَاناً مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ وَ حِفْظاً مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ ثُمَّ يَضَعُهَا فِي جَبِينِهِ
Then he should kiss the rosary and place it upon his eyes and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of this soil, and by the right of its owner, and by the right of his-asws grandfather‑saww and his-asws father-asws, and by the right of his-asws mother-asws, and by the right of his-asws brother-asws, and by the right of his-asws sons-asws, the Purified! Make it healing from every disease and a security from every fear, and protection from all evil!’ Then he should place it on his forehead.
فَإِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْغَدَاةِ فَلَا يَزَالُ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى الْعِشَاءِ وَ إِنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الْعِشَاءِ لَا يَزَالُ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى الْغَدَاةِ
If he does that in the morning, he will not cease to be in the Security of Allah-azwj until the evening, and if he does that in the evening, he will not cease to be in the Security of Allah-azwj until the morning.
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا ذَكَرُهُ جَدِّي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الطُّوسِيُّ عِنْدَ الْغُرُوبِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا
And he should say as well what was mentioned by my grandfather Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al-Tusi at the sunset, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad‑saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and I ask You-azwj of goodness for this night of mine, and goodness of what is in it, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of this night of mine and evil of whatever is in it!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ تَكْتُبَ عَلَيَّ خَطِيئَةً أَوْ إِثْماً
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from any mistake or sin to be written against me!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اكْفِنِي خَطِيئَتَهَا وَ إِثْمَهَا وَ أَعْطِنِي يُمْنَهَا وَ بَرَكَاتِهَا وَ عَوْنَهَا وَ نُورَهَا
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Suffice me of its mistakes, and its sins, and Grant me its Conferment, and its Blessings, and its Assistance, and its Noor!
اللَّهُمَّ نَفْسِي خَلَقْتَهَا وَ بِيَدِكَ حَيَاتُهَا وَ مَوْتُهَا
O Allah-azwj! My soul, You-azwj Created it, and in Your-azwj Hand it its life and its death!
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنْ أَمْسَكْتَهَا فَإِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ إِنْ أَرْسَلْتَهَا فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لَهَا وَ ارْحَمْهَا
O Allah-azwj! If You-azwj were to Withhold it, then to Your-azwj Satisfaction and the Paradise, and if You-azwj were to Send it (back into the body), then Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Forgive it and Mercy it!’
أَقُولُ وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً رَبِّيَ اللَّهُ- حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ أَشْهَدُ وَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً وَ أَحْصى كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدَداً
I am saying, ‘And he should say as well, ‘My Lord (s.w.t) is Allah-azwj! ‘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]. There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires will happen! I testify and know that, Allah is Able upon all things, and that Allah has Encompassed with all things in Knowledge [65:12] and He Counts the number of all things [72:28].
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ رَبِّي آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of myself, and from evil of every animal He Seizes it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]!
اللَّهُمَّ أَمْسَى خَوْفِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِأَمَانِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ آمِنِّي فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَخْذُلُ مَنْ آمَنْتَهُ

يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِحَقِّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِحَقِّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
O, there is no god except You-azwj! By the right of ‘there is no god except You-azwj’, Liberate me from the Fire! O there is no god except You-azwj! By the right of ‘there is no god except You‑azwj’, Grace upon me by Fulfilling my needs in my world and my Hereafter, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[56]
ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ فِي فَلَاحِ السَّائِلِ، وَ يَقُولُ مَا رُوِيَ أَنَّ زَيْنَ الْعَابِدِينَ ع قَالَ مَا أُبَالِي إِذَا قُلْتُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَ عَلَيَّ الْإِنْسُ وَ الْجِنُّ وَ هِيَ
Then the Seyyid said in (the book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
‘And he should say what is reported that Zayn Al-Abideen-asws having said: ‘When I-asws say these phrases, I-asws don’t care even if the humans and the Jinn were to gather against me-asws, and it is: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ
‘In the Name Allah-azwj, and with Allah-azwj, and from Allah-azwj, and to Allah-azwj, and in the Way of Allah-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ إِلَيْكَ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِي وَ إِلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي وَ إِلَيْكَ أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي فَاحْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِ الْإِيمَانِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ مَا قَبْلِي وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj! I submit myself to You-azwj, and divert my face to You-azwj, and have delegated my affairs to You-azwj, and supported my back to You-azwj, therefore Protect me with protection of the Eman from my front, and from behind me, and from my right, and from my left, and from above me, and from beneath me, and what is before me, and Defend me with Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Strength, for there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!’
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً مَا رُوِيَ فِي أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ حِفْظِي وَ كَلَاءَتِي وَ مَعُونَتِي فَلْيَقُلْ عِنْدَ صَبَاحِهِ وَ مَسَائِهِ وَ نَوْمِهِ آمَنْتُ بِرَبِّي إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ فِي أَدْعِيَةِ تَعْقِيبِ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ هُوَ بِهَذَا الْمَوْضِعِ أَنْسَبُ وَ إِنَّمَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ هُنَاكَ تَبَعاً لِلْقَوْمِ
And he should say as well what is reported regarding the secret supplications: “O Muhammad‑saww, and the one from your-saww community who wants My-azwj Protection, and My-azwj Pasture, and My-azwj Provision, let him say during his morning and his evening, and at his sleep time, ‘I believe in my Lord-azwj’” – up to end of what has parred in the supplication as follow-up of Salat Al Fajr, and it is more attributive in this place, and rather we are mentioning it over here as a norm for the people’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ مَا رُوِيَ فِي أَدْعِيَةِ السِّرِّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ قُلْ لِلَّذِينَ يُرِيدُونَ التَّقَرُّبَ إِلَيَّ اعْلَمُوا عِلْماً يَقِيناً أَنَّ هَذَا الْكَلَامَ أَفْضَلُ مَا أَنْتُمْ مُتَقَرِّبُونَ بِهِ إِلَيَّ بَعْدَ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَقُولَ
Then the Seyyid said, ‘Then he should say what is reported regarding the secret supplications: “O Muhammad-saww! Say to those who are wanting to draw closer to Me-azwj to know with knowledge of certainty that this speech is what is best what you can be drawing closer to Me‑azwj with, after the obligatory (Salats), and that is that he should be saying: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُمْسِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَنْتَ إِلَيْهِ أَحْسَنُ صَنِيعاً وَ لَا لَهُ أَدْوَمُ كَرَامَةً وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ أَبْيَنُ فَضْلًا وَ لَا بِهِ أَشَدُّ تَرَفُّقاً وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ أَشَدُّ حِيطَةً وَ لَا عَلَيْهِ أَشَدُّ تَعَطُّفاً مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ جَمِيعُ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ يُعَدِّدُونَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مِثْلَ تَعْدِيدِي
‘O Allah-azwj! No one from Your-azwj creatures has come to an evening You-azwj are of more excellent Dealing to him, nor of more constant honour, nor having a Graceful eye upon him, nor are You-azwj of more intense Kindness with him, nor of more intense protection upon him, nor of more Reverence upon him that You-azwj are upon me, and even though the created beings are counting from that similar to my counting!
فَاشْهَدْ يَا كَافِيَ الشَّهَادَةِ بِأَنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ بِنِيَّةِ صِدْقٍ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْفَضْلَ وَ الطَّوْلَ فِي إِنْعَامِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ قِلَّةِ شُكْرِي لَكَ فِيهَا يَا فَاعِلَ كُلِّ إِرَادَةٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ طَوِّقْنِي أَمَاناً مِنْ حُلُولِ السَّخَطِ لِقِلَّةِ الشُّكْرِ وَ أَوْجِبْ لِي زِيَادَةً مِنْ إِتْمَامِ النِّعْمَةِ بِسَعَةِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
So be Witness, O Sufficient as Witness, that I keep You-azwj Witness with sincere intention that for You-azwj is the Grace, and the Leniency in Your-azwj Conferment upon me, and lack of my thanking to You-azwj regarding it. O Doer of every Intention! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad‑saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Save me with safety from the Wrath due to lack of thanks, and Obligate the increase for me from completion of the bounties with capacious Mercy and the Forgiveness!
أَنْظِرْنِي خَيْرَكَ وَ لَا تُقَايِسْنِي بِسُوءِ سَرِيرَتِي وَ امْتَحِنْ قَلْبِي لِرِضَاكَ وَ اجْعَلْ مَا تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ فِي دِينِكَ خَالِصاً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ لِلُزُومِ شُبْهَةٍ وَ لَا فَخْرٍ وَ لَا رِيَاءٍ يَا كَرِيمُ
Consider me with Your-azwj goodness and do not Compare me with my evil conduct, and Test my hear to Your-azwj Satisfaction what I can draw closer to You-azwj by it in your pure religion, and neither Make it to necessitate doubts, nor pride, nor showing off, O Benevolent!’
فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ أَحَبَّهُ أَهْلُ سَمَاوَاتِي وَ سَمَّوْهُ الشَّكُورَ
If he says that, it would be more beloved to My-azwj skies and I-azwj shall Name him as thankful!”
وَ يَقُولُ أَيْضاً اللَّهُمَّ مَا قَصُرَتْ عَنْهُ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ عَجَزَتْ عَنْهُ قُوَّتِي وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ فِطْنَتِي فِيهِ صَلَاحُ أَمْرِ آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ افْعَلْهُ بِي
And he should say as well, ‘O Allah-azwj! Whatever my request has been deficient from, and my strength is unable from, and my discernment did not reach regarding it correction of the matters of my Hereafter and my world, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Actualise it with me!
يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِحَقِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عَافِيَةٍ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ.
O there is no god except You-azwj! By the right of ‘there is no god except You-azwj’! By Your-azwj Mercy in well-being, Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Rasool(s) [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182]’’.[57]
ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ ره، وَ إِذَا ذَهَبَتِ الْحُمْرَةُ مِنْ أُفُقِ الْمَشْرِقِ مَعَ ارْتِفَاعِ مَوَانِعِ مُشَاهَدَتِهَا أَوْ غَلَبَ الظَّنُّ بِزَوَالِهَا عِنْدَ الْمَوَانِعِ الْحَائِلَةِ بَيْنَ الْعَبْدِ وَ بَيْنَ مَعْرِفَتِهَا وَ كَانَ وَقْتُ حُضُورِ مَلَكَيِ اللَّيْلِ بِمُقْتَضَى الْمَنْقُولِ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ إِذَا كُنْتَ لَا تَعْرِفُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ طَرِيقِ الْمَرَاحِمِ الرَّبَّانِيَّاتِ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمَا مِثْلَ سَلَامِكَ عِنْدَ إِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ وَ أَشْهِدِ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَ أَشْهِدْهُمَا بِمَا أَشْهَدْتَ مَلَكَيِ النَّهَارِ
Then the Seyyid said,
‘And when the redness is gone from the eastern horizon with loftiness of the barriers of witnessing it, or the guesses prevailing with its decline during the barriers hindering between the servant and its recognition, and it would be the time of two Angels of the night to be present, in accordant to what is transmitted from the reports, when you don’t know that from the spiritual mercies, then greet unto them both like your greeting at advent of the day, and keep Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty as Witness, and keep both of them as witnesses with what you had kept two Angels of the day as witnesses.
فَقَدْ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِي كِتَابِ الْكَافِي قَالَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِذَا أَمْسَى قَالَ مَرْحَباً بِاللَّيْلِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ الْكِتَابِ الشَّهِيدِ اكْتُبَا بِسْمِ اللَّهِ
It has been reported by Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al-Kulayni, by his chain in the book ‘Al-Kafi’. He (Abu Abdullah-asws) said, ‘When it was evening, Ali-asws said: ‘Welcome to the new night and the two recorders! Write, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj!’’
ثُمَّ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ تَأْخِيرَ السَّلَامِ عَلَيْهِمَا إِلَى بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ فَقَدْ رُوِيَ ذَلِكَ فِي بَعْضِ الْأَخْبَارِ
Then he-asws would mention Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty; and if you so desire you can delay the greeting unto them up to after Al-Maghrib Salat, for that has been reported in one of the Ahadeeth.
أَقُولُ وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي كِتَابِ حِلْيَةِ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ لِأَبِي نُعَيْمٍ- عَنْ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ قَالَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَمْسَى- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي ذَهَبَ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ جَاءَ بِاللَّيْلِ سَكَناً نِعْمَةً مِنْهُ وَ فَضْلًا
I am saying, ‘And I saw in the book ‘Hilyah Al-Awliya’ of Abu Nueym, from Abu Lubabah who said, ‘When it was evening he-asws was saying: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Goes with the day and Comes with the night as tranquillity, a bounty from Him-azwj and a Grace!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي فِي لَيْلِي هَذَا فَرُبَّ مُبْتَلًى قَدِ ابْتُلِيَ فِيمَا مَضَى
O Allah-azwj! Make us to be from the grateful ones! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me with well-being during this night of mine, perhaps an afflicted person may have been afflicted in the past!
اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْهُ وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj! Keep me well during what remains from it, and in the Hereafter, and Save me from punishment of the Fire!’
وَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَقُولُ وَ جَاءَ بِالنَّهَارِ
And when it is morning, he-asws said similar to that, except he-asws said: ‘And He-azwj Comes with the day’.
وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي كِتَابِ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الرَّبَعِيِّ مِنْ أُصُولِ الشِّيعَةِ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّيْلَ إِذَا أَقْبَلَ نَادَى بِصَوْتٍ يَسْمَعُهُ الْخَلَائِقُ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنِّي خَلْقٌ جَدِيدٌ إِنِّي عَلَى مَا فِيَّ شَهِيدٌ فَخُذْ مِنِّي فَإِنِّي لَوْ قَدْ طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ لَمْ أَرْجِعْ إِلَى الدُّنْيَا أَبَداً ثُمَّ لَمْ تَزْدَدْ فِيَّ حَسَنَهً وَ لَمْ تَسْتَعْتِبْ فِيَّ مِنْ سَيِّئَةٍ
And I saw in the book of Mas’adah Bin Ziyad, from ‘Usool Al Shia’ what are these wordings, and from him, from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘The night, when it comes, it calls out with a voice the creatures hear it except the humans and the Jinn: ‘O son of Adam-as! I am a new creation. I am a witness upon what is during me, therefore take from me, for if the sun were to rise, I will not return to the world, ever, then you will neither (be able to) increase in me any good deed nor repent from an evil deed!
وَ كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ النَّهَارُ إِذَا أَدْبَرَ اللَّيْلُ.
And he-asws would say like that at daytime when the night turns around’’.[58]
42- نُقِلَ مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ قُدِّسَ سِرُّهُ قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ص عَنْ تَفْسِيرِ الْمَقَالِيدِ فَقَالَ يَا عَلِيُّ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَظِيماً الْمَقَالِيدُ هُوَ أَنْ تَقُولَ عَشْراً إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَ عَشْراً إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ
It is copied from the handwriting of Al Shaheed, may his soul be sanctified. He said,
‘It is reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘I-asws asked the Prophet-saww about interpretation of ‘Al-Maqaleed’ (the reins). He-saww said: ‘O Ali-asws! You-asws have asked a mighty thing. The ‘Maqaleed’, it is your saying ten times when it is morning and ten times when it is evening: –
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ- هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ وَ الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْباطِنُ- لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ- يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ [شَيْءٍ] قَدِيرٌ
‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Glory be to Allah-azwj and the Praise is for Allah-azwj! I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj! There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj! He is the First and the Last, and the Apparent and the Hidden, [57:3] For Him is the Kingdom and for Him is the Praise, [64:1] He Causes to live and die. [7:158], and He-azwj is Alive and will not be dying. The good is in His-azwj Hand, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
مَنْ قَالَهَا عَشْراً إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ عَشْراً إِذَا أَمْسَى أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ خِصَالًا سِتّاً أَوَّلُهُنَّ يَحْرُسُهُ مِنْ إِبْلِيسَ وَ جُنُودِهِ فَلَا يَكُونُ لَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ سُلْطَانٌ وَ الثَّانِيَةُ يُعْطَى قِنْطَاراً فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَثْقَلَ فِي مِيزَانِهِ مِنْ جَبَلِ أُحُدٍ
One who says it ten times when it is morning, and ten times when it is evening, Allah-azwj will Give him six traits. The first of these is, He-azwj will Guard him from Iblees-la and his-la armies, so there will not happen to be any authority for them-la upon him; and the second, he would be give a heap in the Paradise which will be heavier in his scale than mount Ohad.
وَ الثَّالِثَةُ يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ لَهُ دَرَجَةً لَا يَنَالُهَا إِلَّا الْأَبْرَارُ وَ الرَّابِعَةُ يُزَوِّجُهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَ الْخَامِسَةُ يَشْهَدُهُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ مَلَكاً يَكْتُبُونَهَا فِي رَقٍّ مَنْشُورٍ يَشْهَدُونَ لَهُ بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
And the third, Allah-azwj will Raise a rank for him which none can achieve it except the righteous; and the fourth, Allah-azwj will Get him married to the Maiden Hourie; and the fifth, twelve Angels will witness it, writing it In a published Parchment [52:3], testifying for him with it on the Day of Qiyamah.
وَ السَّادِسَةُ كَانَ كَمَنْ قَرَأَ التَّوْرَاةَ وَ الْإِنْجِيلَ وَ الزَّبُورَ وَ الْفُرْقَانَ وَ كَمَنْ حَجَّ وَ اعْتَمَرَ فَقَبِلَ اللَّهُ حَجَّتَهُ وَ عُمْرَتَهُ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ أَوْ لَيْلَتِهِ أَوْ شَهْرِهِ طُبِعَ بِطَابَعِ الشُّهَدَاءِ فَهَذَا تَفْسِيرُ الْمَقَالِيدِ.
And the sixth, he would be like the one who had read the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan, and like the one who had performed Hajj and Umrah. Allah-azwj will Accept his Hajj and his Umrah, and if he were to die on his day, or his night, or his month, he will be imprinted with the imprint of the martyrs. So, this is interpretation of ‘Al-Maqaleed’!’’[59]
43- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، عَنْهُ ع مِثْلَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al-Balad Al-Ameen’ – from him-asws, similar to it.[60]
44- بِخَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ ره رُوِيَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ فَقَدِ اشْتَرَى نَفْسَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ وَ كَانَ آخِرَ يَوْمِهِ عَتِيقاً مِنَ النَّارِ.
In the handwriting of Al Shaheed, ‘It is reported from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says when it is morning, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His‑azwj Praise’, a thousand times, so he has bought his self from Allah‑azwj, and at the end of his day he would have been liberated from the Fire’’.[61]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا أَصْبَحَ وَ أَمْسَى دَعَا بِهَذِهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ-
And from Abu Umama Al Bahily who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww was such, whenever it was morning and evening, he-saww would supplicate with these supplications: –
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ مَنْ ذُكِرَ وَ أَحَقُّ مَنْ عُبِدَ وَ أَبْصَرُ مَنْ ابْتُغِيَ وَ أَرْأَفُ مَنْ مَلَكَ وَ أَجْوَدُ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَ أَوْسَعُ مَنْ أَعْطَى
‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are most rightful of the ones to be mentioned, and most rightful of the one to be worshipped, and most seen of the ones sought, and the kindest of kings, and most generous of the ones begged, and most capacious of the ones in Giving!
أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ الْفَرْدُ لَا نِدَّ لَكَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هَالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَكَ وَ لَنْ تُطَاعَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِكَ وَ لَمْ تُعْصَ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِكَ تُطَاعُ فَتَشْكُرُ وَ تُعْصَى فَتَغْفِرُ
You-azwj are the King, there is no associate for You-azwj, and the Individual having no peer for You-azwj! All things are perishable except Your-azwj Face, and You-azwj will never be obeyed except by Your-azwj Permission, and will not be disobeyed except with Your-azwj Knowledge. You-azwj are obeyed, so You-azwj Thank, and You-azwj are disobeyed, so You-azwj Forgive.
أَقْرَبُ شَهِيدٍ وَ أَدْنَى حَفِيظٍ حُلْتَ دُونَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ أَخَذْتَ بِالنَّوَاصِي وَ أَثْبَتَّ الْآثَارَ وَ فَسَخْتَ الْآجَالَ الْقُلُوبُ لَكَ مُفْضِيَةٌ وَ السِّرُّ عِنْدَكَ عَلَانِيَةٌ الْحَلَالُ مَا حَلَّلْتَ وَ الْحَرَامُ مَا حَرَّمْتَ وَ الدِّينُ مَا شَرَعْتَ وَ الْأَمْرُ مَا قَضَيْتَ وَ الْخَلْقُ خَلْقُكَ وَ الْعَبْدُ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الرَّءُوفُ الرَّحِيمُ
(You-azwj are) closest of the witnesses, and nearest of the guards! You-azwj have Permeated the hearts, and Seized the forelocks, and Affirmed the impacts, and have Postponed the deaths. The hearts are led to You-azwj, and the secrets are announcements with You-azwj. The Permissible is what You-azwj Permitted, and the Prohibitions are what You-azwj Prohibited, and the religion is what You-azwj Legislate, and the matter is what You-azwj Decreed, and the creation is Your-azwj Creation, and the servant is Your-azwj servant, and You-azwj are Allah-azwj, the Kind, the Merciful!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ بِكُلِّ حَقٍّ هُوَ لَكَ وَ بِحَقِّ السَّائِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَقْبَلَنِي فِي هَذِهِ الْغَدَاةِ أَوْ فِي هَذِهِ الْعَشِيَّةِ وَ أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِقُدْرَتِكَ.
And I ask You-azwj by the Noor of Your-azwj Face which the skies and the earth shone for it, and by every right which is for You-azwj, and by the right of the ones begging to You-azwj, to Accept me in this morning or in this evening, and to Shelter me from the Fire by Your-azwj Power!’’[62]
45- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَصْبَحَ وَ لَا يَذْكُرُ أَرْبَعَةً أَخَافُ عَلَيْهِ زَوَالَ النِّعْمَةِ-
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who comes to a morning and he does not mention four, I-saww fear upon him decline of the bounties: –
أَوَّلُهَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَرَّفَنِي نَفْسَهُ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِي عَمْيَانَ الْقَلْبِ
The first of these is, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Introduced Himself-azwj and did not Leave me blind of heart!’
وَ الثَّانِي يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَنِي مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص
And the second is, he should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made me from the community of Muhammad-saww!’
وَ الثَّالِثُ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ رِزْقِي فِي يَدَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِي فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ
And the third, he should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made my sustenance to be in His-azwj Hand, and did not Make my sustenance to be in hands of the people!’
وَ الرَّابِعُ يَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي سَتَرَ ذُنُوبِي وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِي بَيْنَ الْخَلَائِقِ.
And the fourth, he should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Veiled my sins and did not Expose me between the creatures!’’[63]
وَ كَانَ زَيْنُ الْعَابِدِينَ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ- أُقَدِّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ نِسْيَانِي وَ عَجَلَتِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا أَسْتَقْبِلُ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا ذَكَرْتُهُ أَوْ نَسِيتُهُ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا أَمْسَى.
And Zain Al-Abideen-asws was saying ten times whenever it was morning: ‘I advance in front of me my forgetfulness and my hastiness. In the Name of Allah-azwj, and whatever Allah-azwj so Desires, upon what I face during this day of mine, whether I remember it or forget it!’ – and like what when it was evening’’.[64]
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: دَفَعَ إِلَيَّ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع عَنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى هَذِهِ الْمُنَاجَاةَ فِي الِاسْتِعَاذَةِ-
And from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Jibraeel-as handed to me-saww on behalf of Allah-azwj the Exalted, this whispering (Munajaat) regarding seeking the Refuge: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مُلِمَّاتِ نَوَازِلِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ أَهْوَالِ عَزَائِمِ الضَّرَّاءِ فَأَعِذْنِي رَبِّ مِنْ صَرْعَةِ الْبَأْسَاءِ وَ احْجُبْنِي عَنْ سَطَوَاتِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ نَجِّنِي مِنْ مُفَاجَاةِ النِّقَمِ وَ احْرُسْنِي مِنْ زَوَالِ النِّعَمِ وَ مِنْ زَلَلِ الْقَدَمِ
‘O Allah‑azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the unexpected afflictions and situations of overwhelming harms, therefore Shelter me, Lord-azwj, from the quickness of the hardships, and Shield me from onslaughts of the afflictions, and Rescue me from the suddenness of the scourges, and Guard me from the decline of bounties, and from slips of the feet!
وَ اجْعَلْنِي اللَّهُمَّ فِي حِمَى عِزِّكَ وَ حِيَاطَةِ حِرْزِكَ مِنْ مُبَاغَتَةِ الدَّوَائِرِ وَ مُعَاجَلَةِ الْبَوَائِرِ
And Make me, O Allah-azwj under the Protection of Your-azwj Might, and the fortress of Your-azwj Safeguarding me from the unexpected twists of fate and the hasty emergence of misfortunes!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَرْضُ الْبَلَاءِ فَاخْسِفْهَا وَ جِبَالُ السَّوْءِ فَانْسِفْهَا وَ كَرْبُ الدَّهْرِ فَاكْشِفْهَا وَ عَلَائِقُ الْأُمُورِ فَاصْرِفْهَا وَ أَوْرِدْنِي حِيَاضَ السَّلَامَةِ وَ احْمِلْنِي عَلَى مَطَايَا الْكَرَامَةِ وَ اصْحَبْنِي إِقَالَةَ الْعَثْرَةِ وَ اشْمَلْنِي سَتْرَ الْعَوْرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Let the plains of afflictions sink, the mountains of evil crumble, the distress of time be lifted, the entanglements of matters be unravelled, and admit me into the fields of safety, and Carry me on the mounts of honour, Accompany me with the surety of overcoming obstacles, and Envelop me in the covering of the faults!
وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ رَبِّ بِآلَائِكَ وَ كَشْفِ بَلَائِكَ وَ دَفْعِ ضَرَّائِكَ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي كَلَاكِلَ عَذَابِكَ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي أَلِيمَ عِقَابِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ بَوَائِقِ الدُّهُورِ
And Bestow upon me, Lord-azwj, with Your-azwj bounties, Remove from me Your-azwj afflictions, Repel Your-azwj harms, Keep away from me all forms of Your-azwj punishment, Divert from me the painful chastisement, and Protect me from the calamities of time.
وَ أَنْقِذْنِي مِنْ سُوءِ عَوَاقِبِ الْأُمُورِ وَ احْرُسْنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَحْذُورِ وَ اصْدَعْ صَفَاةَ الْبَلَاءِ عَنْ أَمْرِي وَ اشْلُلْ يَدَهُ عَنِّي مَدَى عُمُرِي إِنَّكَ الرَّبُّ الْمَجِيدُ الْمُبْدِئُ الْمُعِيدُ الْفَعَّالُ لِمَا يُرِيدُ.
And Save me from the evil consequences of affairs, Guard me against all that is feared, Spare me the experience of afflictions in my affairs, and Paralyse his-la hand from me throughout my life. Truly, You-azwj are the Lord‑azwj, the Glorious, the Initiator, the Restorer, the Accomplisher of whatever He-azwj Wants!’’[65]
وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع لَا تَدَعْ فِي كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ وَ مَسَاءٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ فَإِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ صَرْفَ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Do not leave during every morning and evening (saying), ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj’, for in that there is Turning away of every evil.
وَ يَقُولُ ثَلَاثاً عِنْدَ كُلِّ صَبَاحٍ وَ مَسَاءٍ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ فِي نِعْمَةٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ سَتْرٍ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَتَكَ وَ عَافِيَتَكَ وَ سِتْرَكَ
And he should say thrice during every morning and evening, ‘O Allah-azwj! I have become to be in the morning, being in bounties from You-azwj, and well-being, and Veiling, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Complete Your-azwj bounties upon me, and Your-azwj well-being, and Your-azwj Veiling!’
وَ كَانَ دَاوُدُ ع إِذَا أَمْسَى قَالَ ثَلَاثاً – اللَّهُمَّ خَلِّصْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مُصِيبَةٍ نَزَلَتِ اللَّيْلَةَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثاً.
And Dawood-as was saying when it was evening, saying thrice: ‘O Allah-azwj! Rescue me from every difficulty having descended tonight from the sky!’ And when it was morning he-as said it thrice’’.[66]

(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, from ‘Amaali’ of Sa’ad Bin Nasr,
‘From Salman Al-Farsi-ra: ‘There is none from a servant saying thrice when it is morning, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds! The Praise is for Allah-azwj in abundance, good, blessing in it’, except Allah-azwj will Turn away from him seventy types of afflictions. Their lease being the fever’’.[67]
وَ مِنْهُ قَالَ: كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَقُولُ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ- سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ ثَلَاثاً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ مِنْ تَحْوِيلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ مِنْ فُجَاءَةِ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ مِنْ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا سَبَقَ فِي الْكِتَابِ
And from him-ra, said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was saying when it was morning: ‘Glorious is the King, the Holy! O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from decline of Your-azwj bounties, and from transfer of Your-azwj well-being, and from suddenness of Your-azwj scourges, and from being wretched, and from evil what has preceded in the Book!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّةِ مُلْكِكَ وَ شِدَّةِ قُوَّتِكَ وَ بِعِظَمِ سُلْطَانِكَ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the Might of Your-azwj Kingdom, and Intensity of Your-azwj Strength, and by the Magnificence of Your‑azwj Authority, and by Your-azwj Power upon Your-azwj creatures, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’
ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then ask your need, it shall be Fulfilled if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[68]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’, by his trusted chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, similar to it up to his-asws words: ‘By the Magnificence of Your-azwj Authority, and by Your-azwj Power over Your-azwj creatures!’ Then ask Your-azwj need’’.[69]
بيان وَ مِنْهُ بِسَنَدِهِ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كَامِلٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِصَاحِبِهِ إِذَا نَسِيَهُ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهُ يَقُولُ بَعْدَ الْغَدَاةِ
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – And from him, by his chain from Al A’ala Bin Kamil who said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘From the supplication what is befitting for its owner, when he forgets it he should fulfil it. He should say after the morning: –
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone! There is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise! The goodness is in His-azwj Hand and He-azwj is Able upon all things’ – ten times.
وَ يَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا نَسِيَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئاً كَانَ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاؤُهُ.
And he should say, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the Hearing, the Knowing’ – ten times. When he forgets something from that, upon him would be its fulfilment’’.[70]

And from him, by a chain not deficient from the correct,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Teach me something I can be saying when it is morning and when it is evening’.
فَقَالَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُحْمَدَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ
He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Does with me whatever He-azwj Desires, and does not Do what others desire! The Praise is for Allah-azwj just as Allah-azwj Loves to be praised! The Praise is for Allah-azwj just as He-azwj is rightful of!

O Allah-azwj! Enter me into every good You-azwj had Entered Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww into it, and Extract me from every evil You-azwj had Extracted Muhammad‑saww and Progeny-asws from it! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!’’[84]

And from him, by his chain which is reliable in my view, from Abu Ubeyda Al Haza’a who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘One who says when the dawn emerges, ‘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 the Praise! He-azwj Causes to live and die, and He-azwj Causes to live and He-azwj is Living, He-azwj does not die! The good is in His-azwj Hand and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’ – ten times.
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ سَبَّحَ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ هَلَّلَ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً وَ حَمَّدَ اللَّهَ خَمْساً وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَرَّةً لَمْ يُكْتَبْ فِي ذَلِكَ الصَّبَاحِ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ إِذَا قَالَهَا فِي الْمَسَاءِ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ.
And, ‘May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!’ – ten times, and glorify thirty-five times, and extol Oneness thirty-five times, and praise Allah-azwj thirty-five times. That morning, he will be written as being from the heedless ones, and when he says it in the evening, during that night he will not be written as being from the heedless ones!’’[85]

And from him, by his chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says this when it is evening, he will be surrounded by wings from wings of Jibraeel-as until morning – ‘I entrust to Allah-azwj the Exalted, the High, the Majestic, the Magnificent, myself and the ones whose affair concerns me!

‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Said: “O son of Adam-as! Mention me after the morning for a time, and after Al-Asr for a time, I-azwj shall Suffice you of what worries you!”’[89]

And Al-Sadiq-asws said regarding Words of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted: and (so do) their shadows, in the morning and evening [13:15]. He-asws said:‘It is the supplication before emergence of the sun, and before its setting, and it is a time of Answering!’’[91]

And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj seventy time in the morning of every day, and he-saww would repent to Allah-azwj seventy times!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ كَانَ يَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And how was he-saww saying: ‘I-saww seek Forgiveness to Him‑azwj!’

He-asws said: ‘He-saww was saying: ‘I-saww was seeking Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’, seventy times, and he-saww was saying: ‘I-saww repent to Allah-azwj’, seventy times’’.[92]

And it is reported from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘Fill the beginning of your registers of deeds with good deed, and its end with good deeds, it will be Forgiven for you whatever is between the two’’.[93]

‘It was said to him one day, ‘You house has burned down!’ He said, ‘It has not burned!’ Another informant came, he said, ‘Your house has burned down!’ He said, ‘It has not burned!’ A third cam, and he responded with that. Then the matter was uncovered. Entirety of whatever was around it was burned, besides it.

It was said to him, ‘By what did you know?’ He said, ‘I heard the Prophet-saww saying: ‘One who says these phrases in the morning of his day, no evil will afflict him during it, and one who says it in evening of his night, no evil will afflict him during it’, and I had said it, and these are: –

I have relied upon You‑azwj, and You-azwj are Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires will happen, and whatever He-azwj does not Desire will not happen! Know that Allah-azwj is Able upon all things, and Allah-azwj Encompasses all things in Knowledge!

59 الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، فِي كِتَابِ الْأَنْوَارِ لِلتَّمِيمِيِّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص مَنْ قَرَأَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ سَبْعاً فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حافِظاً وَ هُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ- إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ- فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ حَفِظَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ.
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, in the book ‘Al Anwaar’ of Al Tameemi,
‘From the Prophet-saww: ‘When it is morning, one who says seven times, But, Allah is the best Protector, and He is the most Merciful of the merciful ones [12:64] Surely, my Guardian is Allah Who Revealed the Book, and He Befriends the righteous [7:196]. ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]’ – Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Protect him that day of his’’.[95]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مَنْ قَالَ فِي صَبِيحَةِ يَوْمِهِ ثَلَاثاً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ بَلَاءٌ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَ كَذَا مَنْ قَالَهَا مَسَاءً ثَلَاثاً.
And from him,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘One who says three times in the morning of his day, ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj Who, nothing harms with His-azwj Name, neither in the earth nor in the sky, and He‑azwj is the Hearing the Knowing, no affliction will hit him until evening, and like that is one who says it thrice in the evening!’’[96]

(The book) ‘Mahj Al Dawaat’ –
‘It is reported that Al-Khizr-as and Ilyas-as were gathering during every season (of Hajj). They-as would separate upon this supplication, and it is: ‘In the name of Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! There is no strength except with Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! Every bounty is from Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj! The good, all of it, is in the Hand of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic! Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! No one Turns the evil away except Allah‑azwj!’
قَالَ فَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَمِنَ مِنَ الْحَرَقِ وَ السَّرَقِ وَ الخرق [الْغَرَقِ].
He-asws said: ‘One who says it three times when it is morning will be safe from the burning, and the theft, and the drowning!’’[97]
61 مَعَانِي الْأَخْبَارِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الطَّبَرِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ خِرَاشٍ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَذِكْرُ اللَّهِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصَالِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ حَطْمِ السُّيُوفِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَعْنِي لِمَنْ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ يَذْكُرُ مَا كَانَ مِنْهُ فِي لَيْلِهِ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلِهِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ وَ تَابَ إِلَيْهِ
(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – from Ali Bin Ahmad Al Tabari, from Al Husayn Bin Ali Bin Zakariya, from Khirash, a slave of Anas, from Anas (well known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Zikr of Allah-azwj in the morning and the evening is better than striking the swords in the Way of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, meaning, for the one who does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in the morning, and he should recall what had happened from him from his evil deeds during his night, and seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj, and repent to Him-azwj!
فَإِذَا انْتَشَرَ فِي ابْتِغَاءِ مَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَهُ انْتَشَرَ وَ قَدْ حُطَّتْ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتُهُ وَ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْآصَالِ وَ هِيَ الْعَشِيَّاتُ رَاجَعَ نَفْسَهُ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ سَرَفٍ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ إِضَاعَةٍ لِأَمْرِ رَبِّهِ
When he spreads (exceeds) in the seeking what Allah-azwj has Apportioned for him, will be Given excessively, and his evil deeds will be dropped from him, and his sins will be Forgiven for him, and when he does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in the evening, and it is the late evenings, he should recall himself regarding what had happened from him during that day of his, from the extravagance upon himself and wastage of the Commands of his Lord‑azwj!
وَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ أَنَابَ رَاحَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُ يَوْمِهِ وَ إِنَّمَا تُحْمَدُ الشَّهَادَةُ أَيْضاً إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ تَائِبٍ إِلَى اللَّهِ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
And when he does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj the Exalted and is penitent, will go to his family and his sins of his day would be Forgiven for him, and rather he should praise the testimonies as well when he were to be from the repentant(s) to Allah-azwj seeking Forgiveness from having disobeyed Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[98]

(The book) ‘Mahj Al Dawaat’ – ‘An amulet of the Imam Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws – Ali Bin Abdul Samad, from an uncle of his father Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Abdul Samad, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Dowreysti, from his father, from Al Sadouq Muhammad Bin Babuwayh who said, ‘And it is narrated to me by my grandfather, from his father Ali Bin Abdul Samad, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim Al Qashy in the neighbourhood of the Mausoleum of Al-Reza-asws, from Al Sadouq, from his father, from his elders, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al Iskandary who said,
كُنْتُ مِنْ نُدَمَاءِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورِ وَ خَوَاصِّهِ وَ كُنْتُ صَاحِبَ سِرِّهِ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا إِذْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَرَأَيْتُهُ مُغْتَمّاً فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَا هَذَا الْفِكْرُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
‘I was from the close friends of (the caliph) Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour and his special ones, and I was a confidant of his secrets. One day when I had entered to see him, I saw him gloomy. I said to him, ‘What is this thinking, O commander of the faithful!?’
قَالَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ لَقَدْ هَلَكَ مِنْ أَوْلَادِ فَاطِمَةَ مِائَةٌ أَوْ يَزِيدُونَ وَ قَدْ بَقِيَ سَيِّدُهُمْ وَ إِمَامُهُمْ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He said to me, ‘O Muhammad! They have been destroyed (killed), from the children of (Syeda) Fatima-asws, one hundred or more, and their chief and their Imam‑asws remains!’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ مَنْ ذَلِكَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
I said to him, ‘Who is that, O commander of the faithful?’
قَالَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَأْسُ الرَّوَافِضِ وَ سَيِّدُهُمْ
He said, ‘Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, head of the rejectors (Rafizis) and their chief!’
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ قَدْ شَغَلَتْهُ الْعِبَادَةُ عَنْ طَلَبِ الْمُلْكِ وَ الْخِلَافَةِ
I said to him, ‘O commander of the faithful! He-asws is a man whom the worship has pre-occupied him-asws from seeking the kingdom and the caliphate’.
فَقَالَ لِي قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكَ تَقُولُ بِهِ وَ بِإِمَامَتِهِ وَ لَكِنَّ الْمُلْكَ عَقِيمٌ قَدْ آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا أُمْسِيَ عَشِيَّتِي حَتَّى أَفْرُغَ مِنْهُ
He said to me, ‘I have come to know that you are saying (believing) in him-asws and in his-asws Imamate, but the kingdom is futile (without his-asws allegiance). I have sworn upon myself that I shall not come to my evening until I am free from him-asws!’
ثُمَّ دَعَا بِسَيَّافٍ وَ قَالَ لَهُ إِذَا أَنَا أَحْضَرْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ شَغَلْتُهُ بِالْحَدِيثِ وَ وَضَعْتُ قَلَنْسُوَتِي فَهُوَ الْعَلَامَةُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ فَاضْرِبْ عُنُقَهُ
Then he called for the swordsman and said to him, ‘When I get Abu Abdullah-asws to present and pre-occupy him-asws with the discussion, and I place down my cap, it is the sign between me and you, so strike off his neck!’
فَأَمَرَ بِإِحْضَارِ الصَّادِقِ ع فَأُحْضِرَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ وَ لَحِقْتُهُ فِي الدَّارِ وَ هُوَ يُحَرِّكُ شَفَتَيْهِ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا الَّذِي قَرَأَ إِلَّا أَنَّنِي رَأَيْتُ الْقَصْرَ يَمُوجُ كَأَنَّهُ سَفِينَةٌ
He ordered with Al-Sadiq-asws to be presented. He-asws presented during that time and I met him-asws in the house while he-asws was moving his-asws lips. I do not know what it was which he-asws recited except I saw the castle sway as if it was a ship.
فَرَأَيْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الْمَنْصُورَ يَمْشِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَمَا يَمْشِي الْعَبْدُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ سَيِّدِهِ حَافِيَ الْقَدَمَيْنِ مَكْشُوفَ الرَّأْسِ يَحْمَرُّ سَاعَةً وَ يَصْفَرُّ أُخْرَى وَ أَخَذَ بِعَضُدِ الصَّادِقِ ع وَ أَجْلَسَهُ عَلَى سَرِيرِ مُلْكِهِ فِي مَكَانِهِ وَ جَثَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ كَمَا يَجْثُو الْعَبْدُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ مَوْلَاهُ
I saw Abu Ja’far Al-Mansour walking in front of him-asws like what the slave walks in front of his master, bare footed, uncovered of the head, reddening at times and paling at times, and he held an arm of Al-Sadiq-asws and seated him-asws upon the throne of his kingdom in his place, and he knelt in front of him-asws like what the slave would kneel in front of his master.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا الَّذِي جَاءَ بِكِ إِلَيْنَا هَذِهِ السَّاعَةَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
Then he said, ‘What is that which you-asws have come for at this time, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww?’
قَالَ دَعَوْتَنِي فَأَجَبْتُكَ
He-asws said: ‘You summoned me-asws, so I-asws answered you!’
قَالَ مَا دَعْوَتُكَ إِنَّمَا الْغَلَطُ مِنَ الرَّسُولِ
He said, ‘I did not summon you-asws, but rather the mistake was from the messenger!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
Then he said to him-asws, ‘As your-asws need, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ لَا تَدْعُوَنِي لِغَيْرِ شُغُلٍ
He-asws said: ‘I ask You-azwj not to summon me-asws for other than an occupation (something important)!’
قَالَ لَكَ ذَلِكَ
He said, ‘That is for you-asws!’
وَ انْصَرَفَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَلَمَّا انْصَرِفْ نَامَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ وَ لَمْ يَنْتَبِهْ إِلَى نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا انْتَبَهَ كُنْتُ جَالِساً عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ قَالَ لَا تَبْرَحْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مِنْ عِنْدِي حَتَّى أَقْضِيَ مَا فَاتَنِي مِنْ صَلَاتِي وَ أُحَدِّثَكَ بِحَدِيثٍ
And Abu Abdullah-asws left. When he-asws had left, Abu Ja’far slept and did not wake up until midnight. When he woke up, I was seated by his head. He said, ‘Do not depart from me, O Muhammad, until I fulfil whatever was missed by me from my Salat(s), and I shall narrate to you with a Hadeeth!’
قُلْتُ سَمْعاً وَ طَاعَةً يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
I said, ‘I hear and I obey, O commander of the faithful!’
فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ اعْلَمْ أَنِّي لَمَّا أَحْضَرْتُ سَيِّدَكَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ هَمَمْتُ بِمَا هَمَمْتُ بِهِ مِنْ سُوءٍ رَأَيْتُ تِنِّيناً قَدْ حَوَى بِذَنَبِهِ جَمِيعَ دَارِي وَ قَصْرِيْ وَ قَدْ وَضَعَ شَفَتَهُ الْعُلْيَا فِي أَعْلَاهَا وَ السُّفْلَى فِي أَسْفَلِهَا وَ هُوَ يُكَلِّمُنِي بِلِسَانٍ طَلْقٍ ذَلْقٍ عَرَبِيٍّ مُبِينٍ
When he had fulfilled his Salat(s), he said, ‘Know that when I presented your Chief Abu Abdullah-asws and thought of what I had thought with him-asws of the evil, I saw a dragon to have surrounded entirety of my house and my castle with its tail, and it had placed its upper lip in its top, and the lower lips in its bottom, and it spoke to me in fluent eloquent Arabic clearly: –
يَا مَنْصُورُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى بَعَثَنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَمَرَنِي إِنْ أَنْتَ أَحْدَثْتَ فِي عَبْدِيَ الصَّالِحِ الصَّادِقِ حَدَثاً ابْتَلَعْتُكَ وَ مَنْ فِي الدَّارِ جَمِيعاً
‘O Mansour! Allah-azwj the Exalted has Sent me to you and has Commanded me that if you were to deal with My-azwj righteous servant Al-Sadiq-asws with killing, I will swallow you and the ones in the house, in their entirety!’
فَطَاشَ عَقْلِي وَ ارْتَعَدَتْ فَرَائِصِي وَ اصْطَكَّتْ أَسْنَانِي
My mind went blank, and my limbs trembled and my teeth chattered!
قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ هَذَا بِعَجِيبٍ فَإِنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع وَارِثُ عِلْمِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ جَدِّهِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع وَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ الْأَسْمَاءِ وَ الدَّعَوَاتِ الَّتِي لَوْ قَرَأَهَا عَلَى اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ لَأَنَارَ وَ عَلَى النَّهَارِ الْمُضِيءِ لَأَظْلَمَ
Muhammad (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘This isn’t so strange, for Abu Abdullah-asws is inheritor off knowledge of the Prophet-saww, and his-asws grandfather is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and in his-asws possession are from the Names and the supplication which, if these were to be recited upon the dark night, they would irradiate, and upon the bright day, they would darken!’
فَقَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ فَلَمَّا مَضَى ع اسْتَأْذَنْتُ مِنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ لِزِيَارَةِ مَوْلَانَا الصَّادِقِ ع فَأَجَابَ وَ لَمْ يَأْبَ
Muhammad Bin Abdullah (the narrator) said: ‘When he-asws had gone, I sought permission from Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) to visit our Master-asws Al-Sadiq-asws. He responded, and did not refuse.
فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمْتُ وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ بِحَقِّ جَدِّكَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِي الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي قَرَأْتَهُ عِنْدَ دُخُولِكَ عَلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
I entered to see him-asws, and greeted, and said to him-asws, ‘I ask you-asws, O my Master-asws, by the right of your-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww, to teach me the supplication which you-asws had recited at your-asws entry to see Abu Ja’far (Al-Mansour) during that day!’
قَالَ لَكَ ذَلِكَ فَأَمْلَاهُ عَلَيَّ
He-asws said: ‘That shall be for you!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا حِرْزٌ جَلِيلٌ وَ دُعَاءٌ عَظِيمٌ نَبِيلٌ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ صَبَاحاً كَانَ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ إِلَى الْعِشَاءِ وَ مَنْ قَرَأَهُ عِشَاءً كَانَ فِي حِفْظِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى إِلَى الصَّبَاحِ
He-asws dictated it unto me, then said: ‘It is a majestic protection and a mighty supplication, noble. One who recites it in the morning would be in the Safety of Allah-azwj up to the evening, and one who recites it in the evening would be in the Protection of Allah-azwj the Exalted up to the morning.
وَ قَدْ عَلَّمَنِيهِ أَبِي بَاقِرُ عُلُومِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيِّدِ الْعَابِدِينَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيِّدِ الشُّهَدَاءِ- عَنْ أَخِيهِ سَيِّدِ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ سَيِّدِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ سَيِّدِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ
And it is taught to me-asws by my-asws father-asws, Expounder of knowledge(s) of the former ones and the latter ones, from his-asws father-asws, Chief of the worshippers, from his father-asws, Chief of the martyrs, from his-asws brother-asws Chief of the Elites, from his-asws father-asws Chief of the successors-asws, from Muhammad-saww, Chief of the Prophets-as, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws!
اسْتَخْرَجَهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الَّذِي لا يَأْتِيهِ الْباطِلُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ لا مِنْ خَلْفِهِ تَنْزِيلٌ مِنْ حَكِيمٍ حَمِيدٍ وَ هُوَ
I-asws am extracting it from the Mighty Book of Allah-azwj Which, Neither did the falsehood come from before it, nor (would it come) from after it. (It is) a Revelation from the most Wise, the most Praised [41:42], and it is: –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَانِي لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ أَكْرَمَنِي بِالْإِيمَانِ وَ عَرَّفَنِيَ الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَنْهُ يُؤْفَكُونَ وَ النَّبَإِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Guided me to Al-Islam, and Honoured me with the Eman, and Introduced me to the truth which they are turning away from, and About the Magnificent News, [78:2] Which they are differing in? [78:3]!
وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَوْنَها وَ أَنْشَأَ جَنَّاتِ الْمَأْوَى بِلَا أَمَدٍ تُلْقُونَهَا وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ السَّابِغُ النِّعْمَةِ الدَّافِعُ النَّقِمَةِ الْوَاسِعُ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ذُو السُّلْطَانِ الْمَنِيعِ وَ الإِنْشَاءِ الْبَدِيعِ وَ الشَّأْنِ الرَّفِيعِ وَ الْحِسَابِ السَّرِيعِ
And Glory be to Allah-azwj Who Raised the sky without any pillars you can see, and Grew the Gardens of abode without any term being cast in it, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, the Abundant of the bounties, and Repeller of the scourges, the Capacious of the Mercy, and Allah-azwj is Greatest with the Invincible Authority, and the Original Initiator, and the Lofty Glory, and the Quick of the Reckoning!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَمِينِكَ وَ شَهِيدِكَ التَّقِيِّ النَّقِيِّ الْبَشِيرِ النَّذِيرِ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and Your-azwj Trustee, and Your-azwj witness, the pious, the pure, the giver of glad tidings, the warner, the radiant lamp, and his-saww Progeny-asws the goodly, the best!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ أَعْلَى وَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَعْظَمُ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ جَارُ اللَّهِ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greater, and more Exalted, and more Majestic, and more Magnificent than what I fear and am cautious of. I seek shelter with Allah-azwj, Mighty is the Protection of Allah-azwj, and Majestic is Praise of Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny‑asws, and abundant greetings!
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj for myself, and my religion, and my wife, and my wealth, and my children, and the ones who affairs concerns me!
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَعُوذُ وَ بِكَ أَلُوذُ وَ بِكَ أَصُولُ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَسْتَعِينُ وَ عَلَيْكَ أَتَوَكَّلُ وَ أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نَحْرِ أَعْدَائِي وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَسْتَكْفِيكَهُمْ فَاكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ بِحَقِّكَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj, and Protection with You-azwj, and am strengthened with You-azwj, and I worship You-azwj, and to Your-azwj I seek Assistance, and I rely upon You-azwj, am defend with You-azwj from being slaughtered by my enemies, and I seek Assistance with you against them, and seek Your-azwj Sufficing from them, therefore Suffice them with whatever You-azwj so Desire, and however You-azwj so Desire, and wherever You-azwj so Desire with Your-azwj right!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ- فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ- قالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَ نَجْعَلُ لَكُما سُلْطاناً فَلا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُما بِآياتِنا أَنْتُما وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغالِبُونَ-
There is no god except You-azwj! You are Able upon all things [3:26] and Allah will Suffice you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [2:137] “We will Strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will Give you both an Authorisation, so that they would not get to you. With Our Signs, you and the ones who follow you two, would be victorious!” [28:35].
قالَ لا تَخافا إِنَّنِي مَعَكُما أَسْمَعُ وَ أَرى- قالَتْ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمنِ مِنْكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِيًّا- اخْسَؤُا فِيها وَ لا تُكَلِّمُونِ
He said: “Do not fear! I am with you both. I hear and I See” [20:46] She said: ‘I seek Refuge with the Beneficent from you, if you were pious’ [19:18] “Go away into it and do not speak to Me!” [23:108].
إِنِّي أَخَذْتُ بِسَمْعِ مَنْ يُطَالِبُنِي بِالسُّوءِ بِسَمْعِ اللَّهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ بِقُوَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ حَبْلِهِ الْمَتِينِ فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عَلَيْنَا سَبِيلٌ وَ لَا سُلْطَانٌ
I shall grab by the ears, one who seeks me with the evil, by the Hearing of Allah-azwj and His‑azwj Sight, and his strength by the Strength of Allah-azwj and His-azwj strong Rope, so there will neither be any way for them against us nor any authority.
إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ سَتَرْتُ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِسِتْرِ النُّبُوَّةِ الَّذِي سَتَرَ اللَّهُ لِأَنْبِيَائِهِ مِنَ الْفَرَاعِنَةِ- جَبْرَائِيلُ عَنْ أَيْمَانِنَا وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ يَسَارِنَا وَ اللَّهُ مُطَّلِعٌ عَلَيْنَا- وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ
If Allah-azwj so Desires, He-azwj will Veil between us and them with a veil of Prophet-hood which Allah-azwj had Veiled for His-azwj Prophets-as from the Pharaohs-la – Jibraeel-as being on our right and Mikaeel-as on our left, and Allah-azwj will be Overlooking upon us, 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].
وَ شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ فَغُلِبُوا هُنالِكَ وَ انْقَلَبُوا صاغِرِينَ- صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ- 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-
And the faces will be distorted, Thus they were overcome over there and they returned belittled [7:119], so they will not be seeing, 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].
قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمنَ أَيًّا ما تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى وَ لا تَجْهَرْ بِصَلاتِكَ وَ لا تُخافِتْ بِها وَ ابْتَغِ بَيْنَ ذلِكَ سَبِيلًا
Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. Whichever (Name) you supplicate with, so for Him are the most excellent Names. And neither be loud with your Salat nor be silent with it, and seek a way between that’ [17:110].
وَ قُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
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].
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي يَكْفِي وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ-
Glory be to Allah-azwj morning and evening! Allah-azwj Suffices me from His-azwj creatures! Sufficient is Allah-azwj Who Suffices me and nothing can suffice from Him-azwj! Allah-azwj Suffices me and is the best Protector! Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj Who, 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].
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]
إِنَّا جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذاً أَبَداً
Surely, We has Made covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you call them to the Guidance, then they will never be rightly guided, ever! [18:57].
اللَّهُمَّ احْرُسْنَا بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْنُفْنَا بِرُكْنِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ أَعِذْنَا بِسُلْطَانِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ ارْحَمْنَا بِقُدْرَتِكَ يَا رَحْمَانُ
O Allah-azwj! Guard us with Your-azwj Eye which does not sleep, and surround us with Your-azwj Strength which cannot be breached, and Shelter us in Your-azwj Authority which cannot be violated, and Mercy us with Your-azwj Power, O Beneficent!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُهْلِكْنَا وَ أَنْتَ بِنَا بَرٌّ يَا رَحْمَانُ أَ تُهْلِكُنَا وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَ حِصْنُنَا وَ رَجَاؤُنَا حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمَرْبُوبِينَ حَسْبِيَ الْخَالِقُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Let us be destroyed and You-azwj are being Righteous with us! O Beneficent! Will You-azwj let us be destroyed and You-azwj are our Lord-azwj, and our Fortress, and our hope! Sufficient for me is the Lord-azwj from the nourished! Sufficient for me is the Creator from the created beings! Sufficient for me is the Sustainer from the sustained ones!
حَسْبِي مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي حَسْبِيَ الَّذِي لَا يَمُنُّ عَلَى الَّذِينَ يَمُنُّونَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً
Sufficient for me is the One-azwj Who does not cease to be sufficient for me! Sufficient for me is the One-azwj Who does not Reproach upon those who are reproaching! Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj and is the best Protector! And, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and abundant greetings!
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْبَحْتُ فِي حِمَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَبَاحُ وَ ذِمَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُخْفَرُ وَ جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ
O Allah-azwj! I have become into Your-azwj Protection which cannot be breached, and Your-azwj Pledge which cannot be broken, and Your-azwj Refuge which cannot be violated!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي فِي حِرْزِكَ وَ أَمْنِكَ وَ عِيَاذِكَ وَ عُدَّتِكَ وَ عَقْدِكَ وَ حِفْظِكَ وَ أَمَانِكَ وَ مَنْعِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ عِزِّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَطَاعُ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ وَ سُوءِ عِقَابِكَ وَ سُوءِ أَحْدَاثِ النَّهَارِ وَ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ يَا رَحْمَانُ
And I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, by Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Power, to Make me to be in Your-azwj Protection, and Your-azwj Security, and Your-azwj Shelter, and Your-azwj Return, and Your-azwj Covenant, and Your-azwj Guarding, and Your-azwj Safety, and Your-azwj Defence which cannot be breached, and Your-azwj Might which there is no capability from Your-azwj Wrath, and evil of Your-azwj Punishment, and evil of the occurrences of the day and knockers at night, except a knocker knocking with goodness, O Beneficent!
اللَّهُمَّ يَدُكَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ يَدٍ وَ عِزَّتُكَ أَعَزُّ مِنْ كُلِّ عِزَّةٍ وَ قُوَّتُكَ أَقْوَى مِنْ كُلِّ قُوَّةٍ وَ سُلْطَانُكَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَمْنَعُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نُحُورِ أَعْدَائِي وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ وَ أَلْجَأُ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا أَشْفَقْتُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُمْ فَأَجِرْنِي مِنْهُمْ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj Hand is above every hand, and Your-azwj Might is mightier than every might, and Your-azwj Strength is stronger than every strength, and Your-azwj Authority is more majestic and more invincible that every authority! I defend with You-azwj from being slaughtered by my enemies, and I seek Assistance with You-azwj against them, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from their evil, and shelter to You-azwj regarding what I am fearing upon from them, therefore Shelter me from them, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
وَ قالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قالَ إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ
And the king said, ‘Come with him to me, I shall conclude for myself’. So when he spoke to him, he said, ‘Surely, today you, in our presence, are a distinguished, trustworthy one [12:54]
قالَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلى خَزائِنِ الْأَرْضِ إِنِّي حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ
He said, ‘Make me (in charge) upon the treasures of the land, I am a knowledgeable protector [12:55]
وَ كَذلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْها حَيْثُ يَشاءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنا مَنْ نَشاءُ وَ لا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
And like that We Enabled for Yusuf in the land. He could take control from these wherever he so desired. We Appoint by Our Mercy one We so Desire, and We do not Waste a Recompense of the good doers [12:56]
وَ لَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ كانُوا يَتَّقُونَ-
And the Recompense of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and they were pious [12:57]
وَ خَشَعَتِ الْأَصْواتُ لِلرَّحْمنِ فَلا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْساً-
And the voices would be humbled to the Beneficent, so you will not hear except for whispers [20:108].
أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ جَمِيعَ مَا تَلْحَقُهُ عِنَايَتِي وَ جَمِيعَ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عِنْدِي
I seek Refuge for myself, and my wife, and my wealth, and my children, and entirety of what my care reaches, and entirety of bounties of Allah-azwj in my possession!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي خَضَعَتْ لَهُ الرِّقَابُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي خَافَتْهُ الصُّدُورُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي وَجِلَتْ مِنْهُ النُّفُوسُ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي قَالَ بِهِ لِلنَّارِ كُونِي بَرْداً وَ سَلاماً عَلى إِبْراهِيمَ وَ أَرادُوا بِهِ كَيْداً فَجَعَلْناهُمُ الْأَخْسَرِينَ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي مَلَأَ الْأَرْكَانَ كُلَّهَا
In the Name of Allah-azwj to Whom the necks are humbled to; and in the Name of Allah-azwj to Whom the chests are fearing; and in the Name of Allah-azwj Who the souls are fearful from; and in the Name of Allah-azwj Which He-azwj Said to the Fire: Become cool and safe upon Ibrahim!” [21:69] And they intended to plot with him, so We Made them the losers [21:70]; and in the Name of Allah-azwj Who Fills the corners, all of them!
وَ بِعَزِيمَةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى وَ بِقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ الْمُسْتَطِيلَةِ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ سُلْطَانِهِمْ وَ سَطَوَاتِهِمْ وَ حَوْلِهِمْ وَ قُوَّتِهِمْ وَ غَدْرِهِمْ وَ مَكْرِهِمْ
And (I seek Refuge) with the Determinations of Allah-azwj which cannot be counted, and by the extensive Power of Allah-azwj upon entirety of His-azwj creatures, from entirety of His-azwj creation, from evil of the ones in this world and from evil of their authority, and their aggressions, and their might, and their strengths, and their treachery and their plots!
وَ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ ذَوِي عِنَايَتِي وَ جَمِيعَ نِعَمِ اللَّهِ عِنْدِي بِشِدَّةِ حَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ شِدَّةِ قُوَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ شِدَّةِ بَطْشِ اللَّهِ وَ شِدَّةِ جَبَرُوتِ اللَّهِ وَ بِمَوَاثِيقِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ عَلَى الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ
And I seek Refuge for myself, and my wife, and my wealth, and my children, and ones with my care, and entire bounties of Allah-azwj in my possession, with the intense Might of Allah‑azwj, and intense strength of Allah-azwj, and intense Prowess of Allah-azwj, and intense Subduing of Allah-azwj, and Covenants of Allah-azwj (obligation) of obeying Him-azwj upon the Jinn and the humans!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً
In the Name of Allah-azwj Who 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]!
وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي فَلَقَ الْبَحْرَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي أَلَانَ لِدَاوُدَ الْحَدِيدَ وَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي الْأَرْضُ جَمِيعاً قَبْضَتُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ السَّماواتُ مَطْوِيَّاتٌ بِيَمِينِهِ سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
And in the Name of Allah-azwj Who Split the sea for the children of Israel; and in the Name of Allah-azwj Who Softened the iron for Dawood-as; and in the Name of Allah-azwj Who, the whole of the earth would be in His Grip on the Day of Qiyamah, and the skies having been rolled up in His Right Hand. Glorious is He and Exalted from what they are associating [39:67]!
وَ مِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَنْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَنْ خَلَقَهُ وَ مَنْ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حَسَدِ كُلِّ حَاسِدٍ وَ سِعَايَةِ كُلِّ سَاعٍ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ شَأْنُهُ

O Allah-azwj!

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ مَالِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَعْطَانِي رَبِّي بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah‑azwj I block mouths of the Jinn and the humans, and the Satans-la and the sorcerers, and the devils from the Jinn and the human, and the rulers, and ones who seek Refuge with Allah‑azwj the Mighty, the Mightiest, and by Allah-azwj the Great, the Greatest.
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الظَّاهِرِ الْبَاطِنِ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الَّذِي أَقَامَ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ ثُمَّ اسْتَوَى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ
In the Name of Allah-azwj, the Apparent, the Esoteric, the Hidden, the Treasured by which the skies and the earth were established, then He-azwj Evened upon the Throne!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ- وَ وَقَعَ الْقَوْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِما ظَلَمُوا فَهُمْ لا يَنْطِقُونَ- ما لَكُمْ لا تَنْطِقُونَ قالَ اخْسَؤُا فِيها وَ لا تُكَلِّمُونِ-
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! And the Word will occur against them due to their being unjust, so they would not be speaking [27:85] What is the matter with you all, you are not speaking?’ [37:92] “Go away into it and do not speak to Me!” [23:108].
وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ وَ قَدْ خابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْماً- وَ خَشَعَتِ الْأَصْواتُ لِلرَّحْمنِ فَلا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْساً-
And the faces shall be humbled to the Living, the Eternal, and he will be disappointed, one who bore injustice [20:111] And the voices would be humbled to the Beneficent, so you will not hear except for whispers [20:108].
وَ جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِذا ذَكَرْتَ رَبَّكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ وَحْدَهُ وَلَّوْا عَلى أَدْبارِهِمْ نُفُوراً-
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].
وَ إِذا قَرَأْتَ الْقُرْآنَ جَعَلْنا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ الَّذِينَ لا يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْآخِرَةِ حِجاباً مَسْتُوراً-
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]
وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ-
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].
الْيَوْمَ نَخْتِمُ عَلى أَفْواهِهِمْ وَ تُكَلِّمُنا أَيْدِيهِمْ فَهُمْ لا يَنْطِقُونَ-
On the Day We shall Seal upon their mouths and Cause their hands to speak to us, and their legs would testify with what they had been earning [36:65].
لَوْ أَنْفَقْتَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً ما أَلَّفْتَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ لكِنَّ اللَّهَ أَلَّفَ بَيْنَهُمْ إِنَّهُ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ
Had you spent all of what is in the earth in its entirety, you could not have united their hearts, but Allah United them. He is Mighty, Wise [8:63].

You-azwj Created these and were Excellent and Perfect, and guided upon the obedience and Bestowed, so there does not remain except my thanks and the submission to obey You-azwj, and mention Your-azwj Praises.

يَا مَنْ يُمْهِلُ وَ لَا يَعْجَلُ وَ يَعْلَمُ وَ لَا يَجْهَلُ وَ يُعْطِي وَ لَا يَبْخَلُ يَا أَحَقَّ مَنْ حُمِدَ وَ عُبِدَ وَ سُئِلَ وَ رُجِيَ وَ اعْتُمِدَ
O One-azwj Who Respites and is not hasty, and He-azwj Knows and is not ignorant, and He-azwj Gives and is not stingy! O most rightful of the ones to be praised, and worshipped, and asked, and hoped to, and depended upon!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ مُقَدَّسٍ مُطَهَّرٍ مَكْنُونٍ اخْتَرْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ- وَ بِكُلِّ ثَنَاءٍ عَالٍ رَفِيعٍ كَرِيمٍ رَضِيتَ بِهِ مِدْحَةً لَكَ
I ask You-azwj by every Name (which is) Holy, Pure, Hidden You-azwj have Chosen for Yourself‑azwj, and with every praise (which is) exalted, lofty, honourable You-azwj are Satisfied with it as a praise for You-azwj!
وَ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ عِزِّكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ امْتِنَانِكَ وَ بِحَقِّكَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ حُقُوقِ خَلْقِكَ
And I diver to You-azwj with Your-azwj Generosity, and Your-azwj Benevolence, and Your-azwj Mighty, and Your-azwj Majesty, and Your-azwj Pardon, and Your-azwj Gratitude which is Mightier than rights of Your-azwj creatures!
يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ أَوَّلًا وَ آخِراً وَ خَاصّاً وَ عَامّاً بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأُمِّيِّ رَسُولِكَ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ إِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ بِالرِّسَالَةِ الَّتِي أَدَّاهَا وَ الْعِبَادَةِ الَّتِي اجْتَهَدَ فِيهَا وَ الْمِحْنَةِ الَّتِي صَبَرَ عَلَيْهَا وَ الدِّيَانَةِ الَّتِي حَضَّ عَلَى الْعَمَلِ بِهَا مُنْذُ وَقْتِ خَلْقِكَ إِيَّاهُ إِلَى أَنْ تَوَفَّيْتَهُ
O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Lord-azwj, and I am desirous to You-azwj first and last, and special and general, by the right of Muhammad-saww the ‘Ummy’, Your-azwj Rasool-saww, Chief of the Messengers-as, and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, Imam-saww of the pious, and with the Message which he-saww fulfilled, and the worship which he-saww struggled in, and the Trials which he-saww was patient upon, and the creed which he-saww was specific upon the acting with it since the time of Your-azwj Creating him-saww until You-azwj Caused him‑saww to expire!
وَ مَا بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ أَقْوَالِهِ الْحَكِيمَةِ وَ أَفْعَالِهِ الْكَرِيمَةِ وَ مَقَامَاتِهِ الْمَشْهُودَةِ وَ سَاعَاتِهِ الْمَحْمُودَةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا وَعَدْتَهُ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ وَ تُعْطِيَهُ أَفْضَلَ مَا أَمَّلَ مِنْ ثَوَابِكَ وَ تُزْلِفَ لَدَيْكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُ
And whatever is between that from his-saww wise words, and his-saww honourable actions, and his-saww witnessed positions, and his-saww praise-worthy striving, (please) Send Salawaat upon him-saww just as You-azwj had Promised him-saww from Yourself-azwj, and Give him-saww the best of what he-saww had hoped of Your-azwj Rewards, and Bring his-saww status closer to You-azwj.
وَ تعلم [تُعْلِيَ] عِنْدَكَ دَرَجَتَهُ وَ تَبْعَثَهُ الْمَقَامَ الْمَحْمُودَ الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ وَ تُورِدَهُ حَوْضَ الْكَرَمِ وَ الْجُودِ وَ تُبَارِكَ عَلَيْهِ بَرَكَةً عَامَّةً تَامَّةً نَامِيَةً سَامِيَةً زَاكِيَةً عَالِيَةً فَاضِلَةً طَيِّبَةً مُبَارَكَةً لَا انْقِطَاعَ لِدَوَامِهَا وَ لَا نَقِيصَةَ فِي كَمَالِهَا وَ لَا مَزِيدَ إِلَّا فِي قُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا
And Exalt his-saww rank in Your-azwj Presence, and Send him-saww to the Praise-worthy position which You-azwj had Promised him-saww, and Make him-saww arrive at the Fountain of the benevolence and generosity, and Bless upon him-saww Blessing (which is) general, complete, blissful, sublime, pure, lofty, meritorious, good, Blessed, there neither being any termination for its constancy, nor any reduction in its perfection, nor increase except in Your-azwj Determination upon it!
وَ أَنْ تَزِيدَهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ وَ أَوْسَعُ لَهُ وَ تُرِيَنِي ذَلِكَ حَتَّى أَزْدَادَ فِي الْإِيمَانِ بِهِ بَصِيرَةً وَ فِي مَحَبَّتِهِ ثَبَاتاً وَ حُجَّةً وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ الْأَصْفِيَاءِ الْأَتْقِيَاءِ الْأَبْرَارِ
And to Increase for him-saww after that from what You-azwj are more Knowing with it, and Expand for him-saww, and to Show me that until I can increase in the belief with him with insight, and more affirmed in loving him-saww and proof, and upon his-saww Purified Progeny‑asws, the goodly, the Selected, the Elites, the pious, the righteous!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي ضَرّاً وَ لَا نَفْعاً وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا مَوْتاً وَ لَا نُشُوراً قَدْ ذَلَّ مَصْرَعِي وَ اسْتَكَانَ مَضْجَعِي وَ ظَهَرَ ضُرِّي وَ انْقَطَعَ عُذْرِي وَ قَلَّ نَاصِرِي وَ أَسْلَمَنِي أَهْلِي وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ وُلْدِي بَعْدَ قِيَامِ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ ظُهُورِ بَرَاهِينِكَ عِنْدِي وَ وُضُوحِ أَدِلَّتِكَ لِي
O Allah-azwj! I have come to a morning there isn’t for myself to control any harm nor benefit, nor life nor death, nor death nor Resurrection. My being knocked down has been humiliating and my resting place is still, and my harm has appeared and my excuses are cut off, and few are my helpers and my family and my parents and my children will yield me, after the Establishment of Your-azwj Argument upon me, and appearance for Your-azwj Proofs with me, and clarity of Your-azwj evidence to me!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ أَكْدَى الطَّلَبُ وَ أَعْيَتِ الْحِيَلُ وَ تَغَلَّقَتِ الطُّرُقُ وَ ضَاقَتِ الْمَذَاهِبُ وَ دَرَسَتِ الْآمَالُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْ جِهَتِكَ وَ أُخْلِفَتِ الْعِدَاتُ إِلَّا عِدَتَكَ
O Allah-azwj, and the seeking has toiled me, and the means have exhausted me, and the pathways are closed, and the doctrines are constricted, and the hopes have diminished except from You-azwj, and the hopes are cut off except from Your-azwj Direction, and the promised are broken except Your-azwj Promises!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنَّ مَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاءِ لَكَ مُتْرَعَةٌ وَ أَبْوَابَ الدُّعَاءِ لِمَنْ دَعَاكَ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَ الِاسْتِغَاثَةَ لِمَنِ اسْتَغَاثَ بِكَ مُبَاحَةٌ وَ أَنْتَ لِدَاعِيكَ بِمَوْضِعِ إِجَابَةٍ وَ لِلْقَاصِدِ إِلَيْكَ قَرِيبُ الْمَسَافَةِ وَ لِلصَّارِخِ إِلَيْكَ وَلِيُّ الْإِغَاثَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Indeed the springs of hope in You-azwj are ever-flowing, and the doors of supplication for those who invoke You-azwj are wide open. Seeking Help from You-azwj is legalised for those who seek Your-azwj Assistance. And for the supplicater You-azwj are in a place of Response; for the seeker, near in distance; and for the supplicant, in Charge of the Help!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنَّ فِي مَوْعِدِكَ عِوَضاً عَنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِينَ وَ مَنْدُوحَةً عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُسْتَأْثِرِينَ وَ دَرَكاً مِنْ حِيَلِ الْمُؤَارِبِينَ وَ الرَّاحِلَ نَحْوَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Surely, in Your-azwj Promise there is compensation for those who hold back, and a solution for those in need of what is in the hands of the influencers. It is a catch for those who strive and a means of reaching, and the departure it towards You-azwj!
يَا رَبِّ قَرِيبٌ مِنْكَ لِأَنَّكَ لَا تَحْتَجِبُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَحْجُبَهُمُ الْأَعْمَالُ السَّيِّئَةُ دُونَكَ وَ إِنِّي لِنَفْسِي لَظَلُومٌ وَ بِعُذْرِي لَجَهُولٌ إِلَّا أَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تَعُودَ بِحِلْمِكَ عَلَيَّ
O Lord-azwj! You-azwj are close, for indeed You-azwj do not Veil Yourself-azwj from Your-azwj creation except that their wrongful deeds veil them from You-azwj. I am indeed unjust to myself, and with my excuses, I am ignorant, except if You-azwj were to have Mercy on me and Turn to me with Your-azwj Forbearance.
وَ تَدْرَأَ عِقَابَكَ وَ تَلْحَظَنِي بِالْعَيْنِ الَّتِي هَدَيْتَنِي بِهَا مِنْ حَيْرَةِ الشَّكِّ وَ رَفَعْتَنِي بِهَا مِنْ هُوَّةِ الْجَهْلِ وَ نَعَشْتَنِي بِهَا مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الضَّلَالَةِ
You-azwj Avert Your-azwj Punishment from me, and Watch over me with the Eye with which You‑azwj Guided me from the bewilderment of doubt. You-azwj Elevated me with it from the pit of ignorance and provided me solace from the trial of straying!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ أَفْضَلَ زَادِ الرَّاحِلِ إِلَيْكَ عَزْمُ إِرَادَةٍ وَ إِخْلَاصُ نِيَّةٍ وَ صَادِقُ طَوِيَّةٍ وَ هَا أَنَا مِسْكِينُكَ بَائِسُكَ أَسِيرُكَ سَائِلُكَ مُنِيخٌ بِفِنَائِكَ قَارِعٌ بَابَ رَجَائِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and I know that the finest provision for the traveller towards You-azwj is a strong determination, a sincere intention, a pure heart, and true reliance. And here I am, Your-azwj destitute, Your-azwj wretched, Your-azwj captive, Your-azwj petitioner, thrown down at Your-azwj threshold, knocking at the door of Your-azwj hope!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنْتَ آنَسُ الْآنَسِينَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَحْرَى بِكِفَايَةِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَوْلَى بِنَصْرِ الْوَاثِقِ بِكَ سِرِّي إِلَيْكَ مَكْشُوفٌ وَ أَنَا فِي سُؤَالِكَ مَلْهُوفٌ لِأَنَّنِي عَاجِزٌ وَ أَنْتَ قَدِيرٌ وَ أَنَا صَغِيرٌ وَ أَنْتَ كَبِيرٌ وَ أَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ وَ أَنَا فَقِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj, and You-azwj are the closest of companions to Your-azwj allies, and most Sufficient for those who rely upon You-azwj, and the closest to granting victory to those who firmly trust in You-azwj. My secret is exposed to You-azwj while I confide in You-azwj. I am in need of Your-azwj request, for I am powerless, while You-azwj are All-powerful. I am small, while You-azwj are Great. You-azwj are rich, while I am poor!
إِذَا أَوْحَشَتْنِي الْغُرْبَةُ آنَسَنِي ذِكْرُكَ وَ إِذَا أَضَبَّتْ عَلَيَّ الْأُمُورُ اسْتَجَرْتُ بِكَ وَ إِذَا تَلَاحَكَتْ عَلَيَّ الشَّدَائِدُ أَمَّلْتُكَ وَ أَيْنَ تَذْهَبُ بِي عَنْكَ
When loneliness overwhelms me, Your-azwj Zikr comforts me. When matters become tough upon me, I seek Refuge with You-azwj, and when difficulties gather around me, I turn to You‑azwj, asking, ‘Where can I go away from You?’!
يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ أَقْرَبُ مِنْ وَرِيدِي وَ أَحْضَرُ مِنْ عَدِيدِي وَ أَوْجَدُ فِي مَعْقُولِي وَ أَصَحُّ فِي مَكَانِي وَ أَزِمَّةُ الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا بِيَدِكَ صَادِرَةٌ عَنْ قَضَائِكَ مُذْعِنَةٌ بِالْخُضُوعِ لِقُدْرَتِكَ ذَاتُ فَاقَةٍ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ فَقِيرَةٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ
O my Master-azwj! You-azwj are closer to me than my jugular vein, more Present than my very limbs, more Evident in my thoughts, more True in my place. All the intricate matters are in Your-azwj Hand, emerging from Your-azwj Decrees, submitting to the Might of Your-azwj Power. I am in absolute need of Your Forgiveness, and utterly dependent on Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ شَمِلَتْنِي الْخَصَاصَةُ وَ عَلَتْنِي الْحَاجَةُ وَ تَوَسَّمْتُ بِالذِّلَّةِ وَ غَلَبَتْنِي الْمَسْكَنَةُ وَ هَذَا الْوَقْتُ الَّذِي وَعَدْتَ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ فِيهِ الْإِجَابَةَ
O Allah-azwj! I find myself in a state of seclusion, my needs have intensified. I have been marked by humility, helplessness has overcome me, and this is the time in which You-azwj have Promised Your-azwj allies with the Answering!
اللَّهُمَّ فَامْسَحْ مَا بِي بِيَمِينِكَ الشَّافِيَةِ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَيَّ بِعَيْنِكَ الرَّاحِمَةِ وَ أَقْبِلْ عَلَيَّ بِوَجْهِكَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ فَإِنَّكَ إِذَا أَقْبَلْتَ بِهِ عَلَى أَسِيرٍ فَكَكْتَهُ وَ عَلَى ضَالٍّ هَدَيْتَهُ وَ عَلَى حَائِرٍ آوَيْتَهُ وَ عَلَى ضَعِيفٍ قَوَّيْتَهُ وَ عَلَى فَقِيرٍ أَغْنَيْتَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Wipe away what is in me with Your-azwj Healing Right Hand, Look upon me with Your-azwj Merciful Eye, Approach me with Your-azwj Face of Majesty and Honour, for when You‑azwj Approach a captive, You-azwj Release him, and to a straying one, You-azwj Guide him; for one in doubt, You-azwj Provide Refuge; for the weak, You-azwj Empower him; and for the poor, You-azwj Enrich him!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُخَلِّنِي مِنْ يَدِكَ وَ لَا تَتْرُكْنِي لَقًا لِعَدُوِّكَ وَ لَا تُوحِشْنِي مِنْ لَطَائِفِكَ الْخَفِيَّةِ وَ كِفَايَتِكَ الْجَمِيلَةِ وَ إِنْ شَرَدْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَارْدُدْنِي إِلَيْكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَرُدُّ الشَّارِدَ وَ تُصْلِحُ الْفَاسِدَ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Forsake me from Your-azwj Hand, nor Leave me at the mercy of Your-azwj enemy, nor Isolate me from Your-azwj hidden Graces and Your-azwj beautiful Sufficiency, and if I stray away from You-azwj, then bring me back to You-azwj, for indeed You-azwj Bring back the wanderer, and You-azwj Mend the corrupt, and You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ تَوَلَّنِي وَلَايَةً تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَمَّا سِوَاهَا وَ أَعْطِنِي عَطِيَّةً لَا أَحْتَاجُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مَعَهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِنُكْرٍ مِنْ عَطِيَّتِكَ وَ لَا بِبِدْعٍ مِنْ وَلَايَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Grant me Wilayah making me needless with it from whatever is besides it, and Give me such an award, I will not be needy to any with it, for there isn’t any denial from Your‑azwj Awards, nor any escape from Your-azwj Wilayah (Guardianship)!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْفَعْ بِفَضْلِكَ سَقْطَتِي وَ نَجِّنِي مِنْ وَرْطَتِي وَ أَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي يَا مُنْتَهَى رَغْبَتِي وَ غِيَاثِي فِي كُرْبَتِي وَ صَاحِبِي عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي وَ رَحْمَانِي وَ رَحِيمِي فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي
O Allah-azwj! Raise my lowliness by Your-azwj Grace and Rescue me from my hardships and Lessen my stumbles! O Ultimate of my desires, and my Helpers in my distress, and my Companions during my adversity, and my Beneficent, and my Merciful in my worlds and my Hereafter!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ أَكْرَمَ الْأَكْرَمِينَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Answer my supplication, and do not Cut off my hopes, by Your-azwj Generosity and Your-azwj benevolence, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and most Benevolent of the benevolent ones, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[104]

قَالَ سَلْمَانُ قُلْتُ عَلِّمِينِي الْكَلَامَ يَا سَيِّدَتِي
Salman-ra said: ‘I-ra said, ‘Teach me the speech, O my-ra Chieftess!’

She-asws said: ‘If it cheers you-ra not to be touched by the harm of fever for as long as you-ra live in the house of the worlds, persevere upon it!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ فَقُلْتُ عَلِّمِينِي هَذَا الْحِرْزَ
Then Salman-ra said, ‘Teach me this protection!’

فَادْعُوا بِهِ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ فَإِنْ دَعَا بِهِ مَحْزُونٌ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ وَ إِنْ دَعَا بِهِ مَحْبُوسٌ فُرِّجَ عَنْهُ وَ بِهِ تُقْضَى الْحَوَائِجُ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ بِهِ عَلَى أَحَدٍ فَإِنَّهُ أَسْرَعُ مِنَ السَّهْمِ النَّافِذِ وَ هُوَ
Supplicate with it during the adversities, for it a grief-stricken were to supplicate with it he would be relieved from it, and if an imprisoned one were to supplicate with it, he would be relieved (freed) from it, and the needs are fulfilled by it, and beware of supplicating with it against anyone for it is quicker than the penetrating arrow, and it is: –

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj with every Name which is for You-azwj! Either You-azwj have Named Yourself-azwj with it, or Revealed it in Your-azwj Book, or Taught it to anyone of Your-azwj creatures, or Preferred Yourself-azwj with it in Knowledge of the unseen in Your-azwj Possession, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Make the Quran a nourisher of my heart, and Noor of my sight, and remover of my grief, and departure of my worries!

O Reducer of my stumbles, and O Merciful at my tears, and O Responder to my supplications! I ask You-azwj of the good, all of it, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the evil, all of it, whatever You-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with! O Helper of the one having no helper of him!

Forgive me of what You-azwj Know regarding me, and have Witnessed upon me, for You‑azwj have been Names for the vastness of Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَ الْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ قَلْباً سَلِيماً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا أَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا لَا أَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَ لَا أَعْلَمُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ:
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the affirmation in the affairs, and the determination upon the rightful guidance; and I ask You-azwj for my thanking for Your-azwj bounties; and I ask You-azwj of excellence in worshipping You-azwj; and I ask You-azwj for a sound heart, and truthful tongue; and I ask You-azwj for good of what I do know and for good of what I don’t know. Surely, You‑azwj Know and I do not know, and You-azwj are Knower of the unseen!
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا وَ بِكَ أَمْسَيْنَا وَ بِكَ نُصْبِحُ وَ بِكَ نُمْسِي وَ بِكَ نَحْيَا وَ بِكَ نَمُوتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ أَتَوَكَّلُ وَ إِلَيْكَ النُّشُورُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj! Due to You-azwj we come to a morning and due to You-azwj we come to an evening, and due to You-azwj we spend the morning and due to You-azwj we spend the evening, and due to You-azwj we live and due to You-azwj we die, and I rely upon You-azwj and to You-azwj is the Resurrection, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ أَحَداً صَمَداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً- 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
And I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj, First, Last. Neither did He-azwj Take a female companion nor a son! 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].
اللَّهُمَّ اطْمِسْ عَلَى أَبْصَارِ أَعْدَائِنَا كُلِّهِمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ اجْعَلْ عَلَى بَصَرِهِ غِشَاوَةً وَ اخْتِمْ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ وَ أَخْرِجْ ذِكْرِي مِنْ قَلْبِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ عَدُوِّي حِجَاباً وَ حِصْناً مَنِيعاً لَا يَرُومُهُ سُلْطَانٌ وَ لَا شَيْطَانٌ وَ لَا إِنْسٌ وَ لَا جِنٌّ
O Allah-azwj! Cause blurriness upon the sights of our enemies, all of them, from the Jinn and the humans, and Make a covering to be upon his eyes, and Seal upon his heart, and Extract my memory from his heart, and Make a veil to be between me and my enemy, and an impenetrable fortress, neither can it be breached by a ruler, nor Satan-la, nor human, nor Jinn!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نَحْرِهِ وَ أَسْتَعِيذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَاكْفِنِيهِ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ
O Allah-azwj! Prevent him from reaching my neck (killing me), and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from his evil, and I seek Assistance with You-azwj against him, therefore Suffice me against him however You-azwj so Desire, and whenever You-azwj so Desire!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ وَ بِكَ الْمُسْتَغَاثُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكَى وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, and You-azwj are the Helpers, and with You-azwj is crying out for help, and to You-azwj is the complaint, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَدْرَ يَوْمِي هَذَا فَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ صَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً
O Allah-azwj! Make the beginning of this day of mine successful, and its middle righteous, and its end profitable!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي صَدْرِ جَمِيعِ بَنِي آدَمَ وَ حَوَّاءَ وَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ الْمَرَدَةِ رَأْفَةً وَ رَحْمَةً خَيْرُهُمْ بَيْنَ أَعْيُنِهِمْ وَ شَرُّهُمْ تَحْتَ أَقْدَامِهِمْ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَسْتَعِينُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَنْ يَفْرُطَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ أَوْ أَنْ يَطْغَى
O Allah-azwj! Make kindness and mercy to be in the chest of entirety of the children of Adam‑as and Hawwa-as, and the humans, and the Satans-la, and the fierce ones, whose good is between their eyes and their evil is beneath their feet, and I seek Assistance with Allah-azwj against them from any one of them being excessive upon me, or overpowering.
عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ مَا أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ
Mighty is Your-azwj Shelter, and Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and there is no god apart from You‑azwj Alone! There is no associate for You-azwj. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Grace me the goodness, all of it, whatever Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses with!
يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى آلَائِهِ وَ أَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى نَعْمَائِهِ وَ أَشْكُرُهُ عَلَى آلَائِهِ وَ أُومِنُ بِقَضَائِهِ الَّذِي لَا هَادِيَ لِمَنْ أَضَلَّ وَ لَا خَاذِلَ لِمَنْ نَصَرَ
O Affectionate! O Bestower! O One-azwj with the Majesty and the Benevolence! And the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon His-azwj Favours, and I praise Him-azwj upon His-azwj bounties, and I thank Him-azwj upon His-azwj Favours, and I believe in His-azwj Decree which there is no guide for the one whom He-azwj Lets to stray, nor any abandoner for the one He-azwj Helps!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ
And I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ أَمِينُهُ الْمُرْتَضَى انْتَجَبَهُ وَ حَبَاهُ وَ اخْتَارَهُ وَ ارْتَضَاهُ ص
And I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww, the Chosen, and His-azwj Selected trustee. He-azwj Nominated him-saww, and Gifted him-saww, and Chose him-saww and was Satisfied with him-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً صَادِقاً لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ كُفْرٌ وَ رَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ تَبَارَكْتَ رَبَّنَا وَ تَعَالَيْتَ تَمَّ نُورُكَ رَبِّي فَهَدَيْتَ وَ عَظُمَ حِلْمُكَ رَبِّي فَعَفَوْتَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the sincere Eman not having Kufr after it, and Mercy I can attain by it nobility of Your-azwj Benevolence in the world and the Hereafter! Blessed is our Lord-azwj, and Exalted! Your-azwj Noor is complete, my Lord-azwj, so You-azwj Guided, and Your-azwj Forbearance is Mighty, my Lord-azwj, so You-azwj Pardoned!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَجْهُكَ أَكْرَمُ الْوُجُوهِ وَ جَاهُكَ أَفْضَلُ الْجَاهِ وَ عَطِيَّتُكَ أَرْفَعُ الْعَطَايَا وَ أَهْنَؤُهَا،
For You-azwj is the Praise! Your-azwj Face is most honourable of the faces, and Your-azwj Dignity is best of the dignities, and Your-azwj Awards are loftiest of the awards and their most pleasant!
تُطَاعُ رَبَّنَا فَتَشْكُرُ وَ تُعْصَى رَبَّنَا فَتَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ تَشَاءُ تُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الْمُضْطَرِّ إِذَا دَعَاكَ وَ تَكْشِفُ الضُّرَّ وَ تَشْفِي السَّقِيمَ وَ تَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ لَا يُحْصِي نَعْمَاءَكَ أَحَدٌ رَبَّنَا
You-azwj are obeyed, our Lord-azwj, so You-azwj Thank, and You-azwj are disobeyed, our Lord-azwj, so You-azwj Forgive for the one You-azwj so Desires to. You-azwj Answer supplication of the desperate one when he supplicates, and You-azwj Remove the harm and Heal the sick, and You‑azwj Forgive the major sins! No one can count Your-azwj bounties, our Lord-azwj!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً أَبَداً لَا يُحْصَى عَدَدُهُ وَ لَا يَضْمَحِلُّ سَرْمَدُهُ حَمْداً كَمَا حَمِدَكَ الْحَامِدُونَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ
For You-azwj is the Praise, perpetual praise. Neither can its number be counted nor does its perpetuity diminish. Praise like what the praising ones from Your-azwj servants had praise, the former ones and the Latter ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ النَّصِيبَ الْأَوْفَرَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَ التُّقَى وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْبُشْرَى عِنْدَ انْقِطَاعِ الدُّنْيَا

أَسْأَلُكَ الْهُدَى وَ التُّقَى وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْغِنَى وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
I ask You-azwj for the guidance, and the piety, and the well-being, and the riches, and the inclination to what You-azwj Love and are Satisfied with, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

(The books) ‘Majmou Al Dawaat’, and ‘Mahaj Al Dawaat’ –
‘A supplication for the protection from the enemies and the fortification from the evils, by the Determinations of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted, that is to be said after emergence of the sun and at its setting, of our Master-asws Chief of the worshippers (4th Imam-asws): –
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا غَالِبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ غَالِبُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ بِهِ يَغْلِبُ الْغَالِبُونَ وَ مِنْهُ يَطْلُبُ الرَّاغِبُونَ وَ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ وَ بِهِ يَعْتَصِمُ الْمُعْتَصِمُونَ وَ يَثِقُ الْوَاثِقُون وَ يَلْتَجِئُ الْمُلْتَجِئُونَ وَ هُمْ حَسْبُهُمْ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! In the Name of Allah-azwj, and by Allah‑azwj, and there is no strength except with Allah-azwj, and there is no prevailer except Allah‑azwj! He-azwj Prevails over all things and by Him-azwj the prevailing ones are prevailed upon, and from Him-azwj the desiring ones are seeking, and upon Him-azwj the relying ones are relying, and with Him-azwj the holders are holding tightly and the trusting ones are trusting, and He-azwj Shelters the seekers of shelter, and He-azwj is their Reckoner and is the best Disposer!
احْتَرَزْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ احْتَرَسْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ لَجَأْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَجَرْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ اسْتَعَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ امْتَنَعْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ اعْتَزَزْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ قَهَرْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ غَلَبْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ اعْتَمَدْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَتَرْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ حُفِظْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ اسْتَحْفَظْتُ بِاللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْحَافِظِينَ
I have sought Refuge in Allah-azwj, and I have taken Shelter in Allah-azwj, and I have sought Refuge with Allah, and I have sought Help from Allah-azwj, and I have sought Assistance from Allah-azwj, and I have abstained through Allah-azwj, and I have sought strength from Allah-azwj, and I have conquered with Allah-azwj, and I have prevailed with Allah-azwj, and I have relied upon Allah-azwj, and I have hidden (in the shade of Mercy) of Allah-azwj, and I have been Protected by Allah-azwj, and I have guarded with Allah-azwj, the best Guardian!
وَ تَكَهَّفْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ حُطْتُ نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ كُلَّ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ بِاللَّهِ الْحَافِظِ اللَّطِيفِ وَ اكْتَلَأْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ صَحِبْتُ حَافِظَ الصَّاحِبَيْنِ وَ حَافِظَ الْأَصْحَابِ الْحَافِظِينَ وَ فَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
I have entrusted myself to Allah-azwj and I have humbled myself. I have relied on Allah-azwj for my own self, my family, my wealth, my brothers, and anyone who is concerned for me. My affairs are with Allah-azwj, the Guardian, the Kind. I have leaned on Allah-azwj and associated with those who guard and protect. I have delegated my matters to Allah-azwj, Who, there isn’t anything like Him-azwj, and He-azwj is the Hearing, the Seeing!
وَ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي مَنِ اعْتَصَمَ بِهِ نَجَا مِنْ كُلِّ خَوْفٍ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ- وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ
And I hold fast with Allah-azwj Who, one who holds with Him-azwj achieves salvation from every fear, and I have relied upon Allah-azwj the Mighty, the Subduer, and Allah-azwj is Sufficient for me and is the best Disposer! And one who relies upon Allah, so He would Suffice him. [65:3]!
مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Whatever Allah-azwj so Desires! There is no strength except with Allah-azwj! There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Pure Progeny-asws, and abundant greetings upon them-asws all!’
وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ
And you should say, ‘Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep; [2:255]’ – up to end of the Verse.
وَ تَقُولُ وَ لَقَدْ ذَرَأْنا لِجَهَنَّمَ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ لا يَفْقَهُونَ بِها وَ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ لا يُبْصِرُونَ بِها وَ لَهُمْ آذانٌ لا يَسْمَعُونَ بِها أُولئِكَ كَالْأَنْعامِ بَلْ هُمْ أَضَلُّ أُولئِكَ هُمُ الْغافِلُونَ-
And you should say, ‘And We have Created many of the Jinn and the human beings for Hell. For them are hearts they are not understanding with, and for them are eyes they are not seeing with, and for them are ears they are not hearing with. They are like the cattle, but they are more straying. These ones, they are the heedless ones [7:179]
سَواءٌ عَلَيْكُمْ أَ دَعَوْتُمُوهُمْ أَمْ أَنْتُمْ صامِتُونَ
It is the same upon you whether you invite them or you are silent [7:193]
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ عِبادٌ أَمْثالُكُمْ فَادْعُوهُمْ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لَكُمْ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ صادِقِينَ
Surely, those whom you are calling from besides Allah are servants like you all, therefore call them and let them answer you all if you were truthful [7:194]
أَ لَهُمْ أَرْجُلٌ يَمْشُونَ بِها أَمْ لَهُمْ أَيْدٍ يَبْطِشُونَ بِها أَمْ لَهُمْ أَعْيُنٌ يُبْصِرُونَ بِها أَمْ لَهُمْ آذانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِها-
Are there feet for them to be walking with, or hands for them to be holding with, or ears for them to be hearing with? [7:195]
إِنَّ وَلِيِّيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَ هُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصَّالِحِينَ-
Surely, my Guardian is Allah Who Revealed the Book, and He Befriends the righteous [7:196]
وَ إِنْ تَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى لا يَسْمَعُوا وَ تَراهُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ-
And even if you do invite them to Guidance, they will not be listening, and you will see them looking towards you and they are not seeing [7:198]
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]
إِنَّا جَعَلْنا عَلى قُلُوبِهِمْ أَكِنَّةً أَنْ يَفْقَهُوهُ وَ فِي آذانِهِمْ وَقْراً وَ إِنْ تَدْعُهُمْ إِلَى الْهُدى فَلَنْ يَهْتَدُوا إِذاً أَبَداً-
Surely, We has Made covering to be upon their hearts lest they understand it, and a deafness in their ears. And if you call them to the Guidance, then they will never be rightly guided, ever! [18:57]
فَأَوْجَسَ فِي نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً مُوسى قُلْنا لا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَعْلى
So Musa conceived fear within himself [20:67] We said: “Do not fear! Surely you will be the uppermost! [20:68]
وَ أَلْقِ ما فِي يَمِينِكَ تَلْقَفْ ما صَنَعُوا إِنَّما صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ ساحِرٍ وَ لا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتى-
And cast what is in your right hand, it shall devour what they made up! But rather, they are making an illusion of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he comes from” [20:69]
أَ فَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَتَكُونَ لَهُمْ قُلُوبٌ يَعْقِلُونَ بِها أَوْ آذانٌ يَسْمَعُونَ بِها فَإِنَّها لا تَعْمَى الْأَبْصارُ وَ لكِنْ تَعْمَى الْقُلُوبُ الَّتِي فِي الصُّدُورِ-
So why do they not travel in the land? It would become for them such hearts they can be understanding with, or ears they can be hearing with. Thus, it is not the sights which are blinded, but it is the hearts in the chest which are blinded [22:46]
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ طسم تِلْكَ آياتُ الْكِتابِ الْمُبِينِ
In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! – Ta Sin Meem [26:1] These are the Verses of the Clarifying Book [26:2]
لَعَلَّكَ باخِعٌ نَفْسَكَ أَلَّا يَكُونُوا مُؤْمِنِينَ
Perhaps you will torment yourself with grief because they are not becoming Momineen [26:3]
إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْناقُهُمْ لَها خاضِعِينَ-
If We Desired to, We would Send down upon them a Sign from the sky, so their necks would be humbled to it [26:4]
قالَ أَ وَ لَوْ جِئْتُكَ بِشَيْءٍ مُبِينٍ
He (Musa) said: ‘Or shall I come to you with something clearer?’ [26:30]
قالَ فَأْتِ بِهِ إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ
(Pharaoh) Said, ‘Come with it then, if you are of the truthful ones’ [26:31]
فَأَلْقى عَصاهُ فَإِذا هِيَ ثُعْبانٌ مُبِينٌ
So he cast his staff, and behold, it was an clear serpent [26:32]
وَ نَزَعَ يَدَهُ فَإِذا هِيَ بَيْضاءُ لِلنَّاظِرِينَ-
And he drew forth his hand, and behold, it was (brilliantly) white to the onlookers [26:33]
قالَ كَلَّا إِنَّ مَعِي رَبِّي سَيَهْدِينِ-
He said: ‘Never! Surely, My Lord is with me. He will be Guiding me [26:62]
يا مُوسى لا تَخَفْ إِنِّي لا يَخافُ لَدَيَّ الْمُرْسَلُونَ-
“O Musa! Do not fear. The Rasools should not fear in My Presence [27:10]
اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ-
Allah, there is no god except Him. He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [27:26]
يا مُوسى أَقْبِلْ وَ لا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْآمِنِينَ-
‘O Musa! Come back and do not fear, you are from the Secured ones! [28:31]
قالَ سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَ نَجْعَلُ لَكُما سُلْطاناً فَلا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُما بِآياتِنا أَنْتُما وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغالِبُونَ-
He said: “We will Strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will Give you both an Authorisation, so that they would not get to you. With Our Signs, you and the ones who follow you two, would be prevailing!” [28:35]
وَ لَقَدْ مَنَنَّا عَلى مُوسى وَ هارُونَ وَ نَجَّيْناهُما وَ قَوْمَهُما مِنَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ نَصَرْناهُمْ فَكانُوا هُمُ الْغالِبِينَ-
And We had Conferred a Favour upon Musa and Haroun [37:114] And We Delivered them both and their people from the mighty distress [37:115] And We Helped them, so they were the triumphant ones [37:116]
وَ أَلْقَيْتُ عَلَيْكَ مَحَبَّةً مِنِّي وَ لِتُصْنَعَ عَلى عَيْنِي
And I shall Cast upon you Love from Me, and for you to be reared before My Eyes” [20:39]
إِذْ تَمْشِي أُخْتُكَ فَتَقُولُ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلى مَنْ يَكْفُلُهُ فَرَجَعْناكَ إِلى أُمِّكَ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُها وَ لا تَحْزَنَ وَ قَتَلْتَ نَفْساً فَنَجَّيْناكَ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ فَتَنَّاكَ فُتُوناً-
When your sister walked over and she was saying, ‘Shall I point you to one who will take his responsibility?’ Thus We Returned you to your mother, for her eyes to be delighted and she would not grieve. And you killed a person, but We Saved you from the gloom and Tried you with a Trial. [20:40]
وَ حَرَّمْنا عَلَيْهِ الْمَراضِعَ مِنْ قَبْلُ فَقالَتْ هَلْ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلى أَهْلِ بَيْتٍ يَكْفُلُونَهُ لَكُمْ وَ هُمْ لَهُ ناصِحُونَ
And We had Prohibited unto him the breastfeeding from before. So she (his sister) said, ‘Shall I point you to the people of a household who will take his responsibility for you, and they would be mentors for him?’ [28:12]
فَرَدَدْناهُ إِلى أُمِّهِ كَيْ تَقَرَّ عَيْنُها وَ لا تَحْزَنَ وَ لِتَعْلَمَ أَنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ وَ لكِنَّ أَكْثَرَهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ-
Thus, We Gave him back to his mother that her eye might be delighted, and she would not grieve, and for her to know that the Promise of Allah is True, but most of them are not knowing [28:13]
وَ قالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِي فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ قالَ إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ-
And the king said, ‘Come with him to me, I shall conclude for myself’. So when he spoke to him, he said, ‘Surely, today you, in our presence, are a distinguished, trustworthy one [12:54]
إِنِّي تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّي وَ رَبِّكُمْ ما مِنْ دَابَّةٍ إِلَّا هُوَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
I rely upon Allah, my Lord and your Lord. There is none from an animal except He Seizes it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]’’.[107]
71 الْمُهَجُ، مُهَجُ الدَّعَوَاتِ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي حَبِيبَةَ وَ خَلِيلُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً
(The book) ‘Mahaj Al Dawaat’ – Abu Abdullah Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ghalib who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Abu Habeeba, and Khaleel Bin Saalim, from Al Haris Bin Umeyr,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him, and upon his-asws offspring, the Pure, the good, the Selected, and abundant greetings!
قَالَ: عَلَّمَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أَحْتَفِظَ بِهِ فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ لِكُلِّ شِدَّةٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ وَ أَنْ أُعَلِّمَهُ خَلِيفَتِي مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ لَا أُفَارِقَهُ طُولَ عُمُرِي حَتَّى أَلْقَى اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww, my Allah-azwj Send Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and upon People-asws of his-saww Household, taught me-asws this supplication and instructed me to preserve with it during every time for every adversity and hope, and to teach-asws to my-asws Caliph from after me-asws, and instructed me-asws not to separate from it for the length of my lifetime until I-asws meet Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with this supplication.
وَ قَالَ لِي تَقُولُ حِينَ تُصْبِحُ وَ تُمْسِي هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْعَرْشِ
And he-saww said to me-asws: ‘You-asws should say this supplication when it is morning and evening, for it is a treasure from treasures of the Throne’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا أَقُولُ
I-asws said: ‘And what should I-asws be saying?’
قَالَ قُلْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ الَّذِي أَنَا ذَاكِرُهُ بَعْدَ تَفْسِيرِ ثَوَابِهِ
He-saww said: ‘Say this supplication which I-saww am going to mention it after interpretation of its Rewards!’
فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ النَّبِيُّ ص قَالَ لَهُ أُبَيُّ بْنُ كَعْبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ فَمَا لِمَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ الثَّوَابِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
When the Prophet-saww was free, Ubayy Bin Ka’far Al-Ansari said to him-saww, ‘So what Recompense and Rewards are for the who supplicates with this supplication, O Rasool-Allah‑saww?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ اسْكُنْ يَا أُبَيَّ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ فَمَا يَقْطَعُ مَنْطِقَ قَوْلِ الْعُلَمَاءِ عَمَّا لِصَاحِبِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
He-saww said to him: ‘Calm down, O Ubay Bin Ka’far Al-Ansari! The talk of words of the scholars are not cut off from what is for the owner of this supplication in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic!
قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي بَيِّنْ لَنَا وَ حَدِّثْنَا مَا ثَوَابُ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
He said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-saww! Explain to us and narrate to us what the Rewards of this supplication are?’
فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ إِنَّ ابْنَ آدَمَ يَحْرِصُ عَلَى مَا يُمْنَعُ سَأُخْبِرُكَ بِبَعْضِ ثَوَابِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ أَمَّا صَاحِبُهُ حِينَ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَتَنَاثَرُ عَلَيْهِ الْبِرُّ مِنْ مَفْرِقِ رَأْسِهِ مِنْ أَعْنَانِ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ
Rasool-Allah-saww smiled and said: ‘A son of Adam-as is eager upon what he is prevented! I-saww shall inform you with some Rewards of this supplication. As for its owner, when he supplicates to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, the righteousness cascade on the parting of his head from corners of the sky to the earth.
وَ يُنْزِلُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ السَّكِينَةَ وَ تَغْشَاهُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ لَا يَكُونُ لِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مُنْتَهًى دُونَ عَرْشِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَهُ دَوِيٌّ حَوْلَ الْعَرْشِ كَدَوِيِّ النَّحْلِ يَنْظُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى مَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
And Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Sends down the tranquillity upon him, and the Mercy overwhelms him, and there is no ultimate for this supplication below Throne of Lord-azwj worlds. There is buzz for him around the Throne like buzzing of the bees. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Looks at the one who supplicates with this supplication.
وَ مَنْ دَعَا بِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ شَيْئاً مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ سُؤْلَهُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ مَنَحَهُ إِيَّاهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ وَ يُنَجِّيهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ يَصْرِفُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَنْهُ ضِيقَ الصَّدْرِ
And one who supplicates with it three times will not ask Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic is His‑azwj Name, for anything from the good in the worlds and the Hereafter, except Allah-azwj will Grant him his request with this supplication and Give it to him, O son of Adam-as, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Rescue him from Punishment of the grave and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Turn constriction of the chest away from him.
فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ وَافَى صَاحِبَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عَلَى نَجِيبَةٍ مِنْ دُرَّةٍ بَيْضَاءَ فَيَقُومُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ بِالْكَرَامَةِ كُلِّهَا وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى عَبْدِي تَبَوَّأْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ تَشَاءُ
When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, the owner of this supplication will be fulfilled upon a noble place of white gems. He will stand in front of Lord-azwj of the world, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Command with the honours being for him, all of these, and Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted will Say: “My-azwj servant! Assume an abode from the Paradise wherever you so desire!”
مَعَ مَا لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنَ الْمَزِيدِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَ لَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَ لَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قُلُوبِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ لَا أَلْسِنَةِ الْوَاصِفِينَ.:
(This is) along with what is for him in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, from the increase and the honours what neither has seen nor an ear heard, nor has it occurred upon hearts of the created beings, nor tongues of the describers!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ زِدْنَا مِنْ ثَوَابِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ
Salman-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, said to him-saww, ‘Increase for us regarding Rewards of this supplication, may Allah-azwj Make me-ra to be sacrificed for you-saww!’
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَوْ دُعِيَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ عَلَى مَجْنُونٍ لَأَفَاقَ مِنْ جُنُونِهِ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ وَ لَوْ دُعِيَ بِهِ عِنْدَ امْرَأَةٍ قَدْ عَسُرَ عَلَيْهَا الْوَلَدُ لَسَهَّلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهَا خُرُوجَ وَلَدِهَا أَسْرَعَ مِنْ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ
The Prophet-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Pure Progeny‑asws and abundant greetings, said: ‘O Abu Abdullah! By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the truth as a Prophet-saww! If this supplication were to be supplicated with upon an insane, he would awaken (become sane) from his insanity from his very times, and if it is supplicated with in the presence of a woman, her giving birth having become difficult upon her, Allah-azwj will Ease upon her the emergence of her child quicker than the blink of an eye!
نَعَمْ يَا سَلْمَانُ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ أَرْبَعِينَ لَيْلَةً مِنْ لَيَالِي الْجُمَعِ خَالِصَةً إِلَّا غَفَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ مَا كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْآدَمِيِّينَ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ رَبِّهِ
Yes, O Salman-ra! By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the truth as a Prophet-saww! There is none from a servant who supplicates with this supplication for forty (40) nights, from the night of a Friday, sincerely, except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Forgive for him, whatever was between him and the human beings, and whatever was between him and his Lord-azwj.
وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ يَا سَلْمَانُ مَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا أَخْرَجَ اللَّهُ عَنْ قَلْبِهِ غُمُومَ الدُّنْيَا وَ هُمُومَهَا وَ أَمْرَاضَها
By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the truth, O Salman-ra! There is no one who supplicates to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with this supplication except Allah-azwj will Extract from him sadness of the world, and its worries, and its sicknesses.
نَعَمْ يَا سَلْمَانُ مَنْ دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ أَحْسَنَهُ أَمْ لَمْ يُحْسِنْهُ ثُمَّ نَامَ فِي فِرَاشِهِ وَ هُوَ يَنْوِي رَجَاءَ ثَوَابِهِ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مِنْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ مِنَ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ وُجُوهُهُمْ أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ-
Yes, O Salman-ra! One who supplicates to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic with this supplication, whether he is good at it nor not good at it, then he sleeps in his bed while he is intending to hope of His-azwj Rewards, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Dispatch, for every letter from this supplication, a thousand Angels from the Cherubims, and their faces are more excellent than the sun and the moon on the night of a full moon!’
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ أَ يُعْطِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ كُلَّ هَذَا الثَّوَابِ
Salman-ra said to him-saww, ‘Will Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Give the servant, due to this supplication, all these Rewards?’
فَقَالَ لَا تُخْبِرَنَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ حَتَّى أُخْبِرَكَ بِأَعْظَمَ مِمَّا أَخْبَرْتُكَ بِهِ
He-saww said: ‘Do not inform the people with it until I-saww inform you with mightiest of what I‑saww am informing you-ra with’.
فَقَالَ لَهُ سَلْمَانُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لِمَ تَأْمُرُنِي بِكِتْمَانِ ذَلِكَ
Salman-ra said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, and why are you-saww instructing me with concealing that?’
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَخْشَى أَنْ يَدَعُوا الْعَمَلَ وَ يَتَّكِلُوا عَلَى الدُّعَاءِ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘I-saww fear they might leave the (good) deed and rely upon the supplication (only)!’
فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ أَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص
Salman-ra said, ‘Inform me-ra, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ نَعَمْ أُخْبِرُكَ بِهِ يَا سَلْمَانُ إِنَّهُ مَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ كَانَ فِي حَيَاتِهِ قَدِ ارْتَكَبَ الْكَبَائِرَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ أَوْ مِنْ يَوْمِهِ بَعْدَ مَا دَعَا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَ إِنْ مَاتَ يَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَى غَيْرِ تَوْبَةٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ ذُنُوبَهُ بِكَرَمِهِ وَ عَفْوِهِ وَ هُوَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ تَقُولُ
He-saww said: ‘I-saww shall inform you with it, O Salman-ar. The one who supplicates with this supplication, and during his lifetime he was indulging in the major sins, then he dies from his night or from his day after having supplicated to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, with this supplication, he would die as a martyr, and O Salman-ra, if he dies without repenting, Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins due to His-azwj Benevolence and His-azwj Pardon, and it is this supplication, you should be saying,
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ الْمُدَبِّرُ بِلَا وَزِيرٍ وَ لَا خَلْقٍ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ يَسْتَشِيرُ الْأَوَّلُ غَيْرُ مَوْصُوفٍ وَ الْبَاقِي بَعْدَ فَنَاءِ الْخَلْقِ الْعَظِيمُ الرُّبُوبِيَّةِ نُورُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ فَاطِرُهُمَا وَ مُبْتَدِعُهُمَا بِغَيْرِ عَمَدٍ خَلَقَهُمَا
‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Manifest Truth, the Manager without a minister, nor did He-azwj consult anyone of His-azwj servant. The First without being described, and the Lasting after perishing of the creation, the Mighty of the Lordship, Light of the skies and the earths and its Originator, then He-azwj Initiated them without any pillar He-azwj had Created.
فَاسْتَقَرَّتِ الْأَرَضُونَ بِأَوْتَادِهَا فَوْقَ الْمَاءِ ثُمَّ عَلَا رَبُّنَا فِي السَّماواتِ الْعُلى الرَّحْمنُ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما وَ ما تَحْتَ الثَّرى
He-azwj Settled the lands with their pegs above the water, then our Lord-azwj was Exalted in the skies above [20:4] The Beneficent, Established upon the Throne [20:5] For Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth and whatever is between the two and whatever is beneath the soil [20:6].
فَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا رَافِعَ لِمَا وَضَعْتَ وَ لَا وَاضِعَ لِمَا رَفَعْتَ وَ لَا مُعِزَّ لِمَنْ أَذْلَلْتَ وَ لَا مُذِلَّ لِمَنْ أَعْزَزْتَ وَ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ لَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ
I testify that surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no raiser for what You-azwj Place down, nor any dropper for what You-azwj have Raised, nor any honourer for the one You-azwj Humiliate, nor any humiliator for the one whom You-azwj Honour, nor any prevent for what You-azwj Give, nor any giver of what You-azwj Prevent!
وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ كُنْتَ إِذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ سَمَاءٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ وَ لَا أَرْضٌ مَدْحِيَّةٌ وَ لَا شَمْسٌ مُضِيئَةٌ وَ لَا لَيْلٌ مُظْلِمٌ وَ لَا نَهَارٌ مُضِيءٌ وَ لَا بَحْرٌ لُجِّيٌّ وَ لَا جَبَلٌ رَاسٍ وَ لَا نَجْمٌ سَارٍ وَ لَا قَمَرٌ مُنِيرٌ وَ لَا رِيحٌ تَهُبُّ وَ لَا سَحَابٌ يَسْكُبُ وَ لَا بَرْقٌ يَلْمَعُ وَ لَا رُوحٌ يَتَنَفَّسُ وَ لَا طَائِرٌ يَطِيرُ وَ لَا نَارٌ تَتَوَقَّدُ وَ لَا مَاءٌ يَطَّرِدُ
And You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! You-azwj were Existing when there neither existed any built sky, nor spread earth, nor illuminating sun, nor dark night, nor bright day, nor turbulent sea, nor lofty mountain, nor a travelling star, nor radiant moon, nor blowing wind, nor scooping cloud, nor flash of lightning, nor breathing soul, nor a flying bird, nor an ignited fire, nor expelled water!
كُنْتَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ كَوَّنْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ قَدَرْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ ابْتَدَعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَغْنَيْتَ وَ أَفْقَرْتَ وَ أَمَتَّ وَ أَحْيَيْتَ وَ أَضْحَكْتَ وَ أَبْكَيْتَ وَ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوَيْتَ
You-azwj Existed before all things, and You-azwj Brought all things into being, and Determined upon all things, and Initiated all things, and You-azwj Enright and Impoverish, and Cause to die and live, and laugh and cry, and were Even upon the Throne!
فَتَبَارَكْتَ يَا اللَّهُ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْخَلَّاقُ الْعَلِيمُ أَمْرُكَ غَالِبٌ وَ عِلْمُكَ نَافِذٌ وَ كَيْدُكَ غَرِيبٌ وَ وَعْدُكَ صَادِقٌ وَ حُكْمُكَ عَدْلٌ وَ كَلَامُكَ هُدًى وَ وَحْيُكَ نُورٌ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَاسِعَةٌ وَ عَفْوُكَ عَظِيمٌ وَ فَضْلُكَ كَثِيرٌ وَ عَطَاؤُكَ جَزِيلٌ وَ حَبْلُكَ مَتِينٌ وَ إِمْكَانُكَ عَتِيدٌ وَ جَارُكَ عَزِيزٌ وَ بَأْسُكَ شَدِيدٌ وَ مَكْرُكَ مَكِيدٌ

‘This supplication is of lofty glory, mighty status. Amir Al-Momineen-asws was supplicating with it as follow-up of Al-Fajr (Salat) and among the important ones, and like that are the Imams; and the one who recites on the day of Friday before the Salat, Allah-azwj will Forgive his sins for him and even if they had filled upon what is between the sky and the earth, and he will enter the Paradise without Reckoning, and he would be in the neighbourhood of the Prophets‑as, and one who writes is and carries (memorises) it would be safe from every evil, and in summary, its merits can neither be counted nor limited, and it is: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مُدْرِكَ الْهَارِبِينَ وَ يَا مَلْجَأَ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ

73 وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجُبَاعِيِّ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ
I found in the handwriting of the Sheykh Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Jubaiy, may Allah-azwj Mercy upon him. He said, ‘I found in the handwriting of the Shaheed, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul.
رُوِيَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ السِّتَّ فِي كُلِّ غَدَاةٍ كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ وَ لَوْ أَلْقَى نَفْسَهُ إِلَى التَّهْلُكَةِ وَ هِيَ
‘It is reported from our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘One who recites the six Verses during every morning, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Suffice him from every evil, and even if he had cast himself to the destruction, and these are: –
قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنا إِلَّا ما كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنا هُوَ مَوْلانا وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ-
Say: ‘It will never befall us except what Allah Ordains for us. He is our Master, and upon Allah do the Momineen rely’ [9:51]
وَ إِنْ يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلا كاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ إِنْ يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ وَ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ-
And if Allah were to Afflict you with harm, then there would be no remover of it except Him, and if He Intends good for you, then there would be none to repel His Grace. He Makes it to be attained by the one He so Desires to from His servants, and He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [10:107]
وَ ما مِنْ دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُها وَ يَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّها وَ مُسْتَوْدَعَها كُلٌّ فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ-
And there is none from an animal in the earth except upon Allah is its sustenance, and He Knows its resting place and its depository. All things are in a Clarifying Book [11:6]
وَ كَأَيِّنْ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ لا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرْزُقُها وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ-
And one who strives, so he rather strives for himself. Surely, Allah is needless of the worlds [29:6]
ما يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلا مُمْسِكَ لَها وَ ما يُمْسِكْ فَلا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ-
Whatever Mercy Allah Opens to the people, so there is none to withhold it, and whatever He Withholds, there is no sender to him from after Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise [35:2]
قُلْ أَ فَرَأَيْتُمْ ما تَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كاشِفاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ-
Say: ‘So have you considered, what you are supplicating to from besides Allah, that if Allah were to Intend harm, would these be able to Remove its harm? Or if He Intends to be Merciful to me, would these be able to withhold His Mercy?’ Say: ‘Allah Suffices me. Upon Him should the relying ones rely’ [39:38]
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
‘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].
وَ أَمْتَنِعُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ وَ قُوَّتِهِمْ وَ أَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
And I defend with the Might of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Strength, from their might and their strength, and I seek Healing by the Lord-azwj of dawn from evil what is Created, and I seek Refuge with what Allah-azwj Desires. There is no strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificence!’’[110]
وَ بِخَطِّهِ أَيْضاً عَنْ دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ لِي يَا دَاوُدُ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ إِنْ أَنْتَ قُلْتَهُنَّ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ آمَنَكَ اللَّهُ مِمَّا تَخَافُ
And by his handwriting as well, from Dawood Al Raqqy who said,
‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws. He-asws said to me: ‘O Dawood! Shell I-asws teach you phrases if you were to say these every day, morning and evening, three times, Allah-azwj will Secure you from what you fear?’
قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ
I said, ‘Yes, O son of Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ قُلْ أَصْبَحْتُ بِذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ ذِمَمِ رُسُلِهِ وَ ذِمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ ذِمَمِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ ع آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ شَاهِدِهِمْ وَ غَائِبِهِمْ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُمْ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ كَمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ

May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and the greetings upon them-asws!’’
قَالَ دَاوُدُ فَمَا دَعَوْتُ إِلَّا فَلَجْتُ عَلَى حَاجَتِي.
Dawood said, ‘I did not supplicate except I succeeded upon my needs!’’[111]

CHAPTER 68 – SUPPLICATIONS OF THE HOURS
Note
اعلم أن الشيخ الجليل أبا جعفر الطوسي رحمه الله في مصباح المتهجد قسم اليوم باثنتي عشرة ساعة و نسب كلا منها إلى إمام من الأئمة الطاهرين صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين و ذكر لها دعاء مناسبا لها
Know that the majestic Sheykh Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may Allah-azwj Mercy him in (the book) ‘Misbah Al-Mutahajjid’ divided the day into two twelve hours and attribute both of these to an Imam-asws from the Purified Imams-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws all, and mention a supplication appropriate to it.
و اقتفى السيد ابن الباقي رحمه الله أثره و كذا الكفعمي في البلد الأمين و جنة الأمان لكن زاد الكفعمي دعاء آخر و لم أر سند هذه الأدعية و اعتمدت في ذلك عليهم أحسن الله إليهم
And the Seyyid Ibn Al-Baqi, may Allah-azwj Mercy his stumbles, traded, and like that is Al-Kaf’amy in (the books) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ and ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, but Al Kaf’amy increased another supplication, and I have not seen the (chains of) attribution of these supplications, and I have relied upon them regarding that, may Allah-azwj be good to them.

Another supplication for this house – ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of the darkness, and Al-Falaq, and the dawn and the twilight, And the night and that which it drives on [84:17] And the moon when it becomes full [84:18], Creator of the human being from a clot. You-azwj Manifested Your-azwj Power by Initiating Your-azwj Making, and You-azwj Created Your-azwj servant for what You-azwj Encumbered them of worshipping You-azwj.
وَ هَدَيْتَهُمْ بِكَرَمِ فَضْلِكَ إِلَى سَبِيلِ طَاعَتِكَ وَ تَفَرَّدْتَ فِي مَلَكُوتِكَ بِعَظِيمِ السُّلْطَانِ وَ تَوَدَّدْتَ إِلَى خَلْقِكَ بِقَدِيمِ الْإِحْسَانِ وَ تَعَرَّفْتَ إِلَى بَرِيَّتِكَ بِجَسِيمِ الِامْتِنَانِ

O Allah-azwj! The hopes are cut off except from Your-azwj Grace, and the hopes are disappointed except from Your-azwj Benevolence! I ask You-azwj by Muhammad-saww Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and by Your-azwj Elite Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, and by Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, the pious Imam‑asws who bought his-asws soul seeking Your-azwj Satisfaction, and fought the ones deviant from the path of obeying You-azwj.

And do not Change from me the Assistance of Your-azwj Leniency and Your-azwj bounties, and Harmonise me to what would draw me closer to You-azwj, and Turn me away from what would distance me from You-azwj, and Give me from the good, better than what I am hoping for, and Suffice me of evil what I am fearing and am being cautious of, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[117]

The first time of the day is when the sun happens to be from this side, meaning from the east, its measurement from Al-Asr from this side, meaning from the west, to the first Salat; and the first hours of the night is in the last third of the night up to the break of morning.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullah-asws said for the ones in his-asws presence: ‘The Greatness is a Robe of Allah-azwj. The one who snatches anything from that, Allah-azwj will Fling him into the Fire!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِنَّ مُقْبِلًا قَلْبُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ إِلَّا قَضَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ حَاجَتَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَ شَقِيّاً رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُحَوَّلَ سَعِيداً.

أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْخالِقُ الْبارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى يُسَبِّحُ لَكَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْكَبِيرُ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ رِدَاؤُكَ.
You-azwj are Allah the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner. [59:24]. For You-azwj are the most excellent Names! There glorify to You-azwj whatever is in the skies and the earth, and You-azwj are the Mighty and the Wise! You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj, the Great, and the Greatness is Your-azwj Robe!’’[139]
