CHAPTER 95 – MERIT OF THE DAY OF FRIDAY, AND ITS NIGHT, AND ITS HOURS
الآيات البروج وَ شاهِدٍ وَ مَشْهُودٍ
The Verses – (Surah) Al Burouj – a witness and a witnessed [85:3].
تفسير و في الحديث ما طلعت الشمس على يوم و لا غربت على يوم أفضل منه.
Interpretation (Ahadeeth only) – And in the Hadeeth: ‘The sun has neither emerged upon a day nor set upon a day superior than it’.
رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ الله ص قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الشَّاهِدِ وَ الْمَشْهُودِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ الشَّاهِدُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الْمَشْهُودُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ
It is reported that a man entered the Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww. Then a man was narrating from Rasool-Allah-saww. He said, ‘I asked him-saww about ‘The witness and the witnessed’. He-saww said: ‘Yes. The witness is the day of Friday and the witnessed is the day of Arafaat’.
فَجُزْتُهُ إِلَى آخَرَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَّا الشَّاهِدُ فَيَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ أَمَّا الْمَشْهُودُ فَيَوْمُ النَّحْرِ
I transmitted it to another one narrating from Rasool-Allah-saww. I asked him about that. He said, ‘Yes, as for the witness, it is the day of Friday, and as for the witnessed, it is the day of the sacrifice’’.
فَجُزْتُهُمَا إِلَى غُلَامٍ كَانَ وَجْهُهُ الدِّينَارَ وَ هُوَ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقُلْتُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ شاهِدٍ وَ مَشْهُودٍ
I transmitted the two to a boy whose face was like the Dinar, and he was narrating from Rasool-Allah-saww. I said, ‘Inform me about a witness and a witnessed [85:3]’.
فَقَالَ نَعَمْ أَمَّا الشَّاهِدُ فَمُحَمَّدٌ ص وَ أَمَّا الْمَشْهُودُ فَيَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَ مَا سَمِعْتَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ يَقُولُ يا أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ إِنَّا أَرْسَلْناكَ شاهِداً وَ مُبَشِّراً وَ نَذِيراً وَ قَالَ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ
He-asws said: ‘Yes. As for the witness, it is Muhammad-saww, and as for the witnessed, it is the Day of Qiyamah. Have you not heard the Glorious Saying: O Prophet! Surely, We have Sent you as a witness, and as a bearer of glad tidings and as a warner [33:45]? And He-azwj Said: That would be a Day (in which) the people would be Gathered to it, and that would be a witnessed Day [11:103]’.
فَسَأَلْتُ عَنِ الْأَوَّلِ فَقَالُوا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ وَ سَأَلْتُ عَنِ الثَّانِي فَقَالُوا ابْنُ عُمَرَ وَ سَأَلْتُ عَنِ الثَّالِثِ فَقَالُوا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع.
I asked about the first one. They said, ‘Ibn Abbas’, and I asked about the second, they said, ‘Ibn Umar’, and I asked about the third, they said, ‘Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws’’.
وَ رَابِعُهَا أَنَّ الشَّاهِدَ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَ الْمَشْهُودَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: أَكْثِرُوا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ تَشْهَدُهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ إِنَّ أَحَداً لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيَّ إِلَّا عُرِضَتْ عَلَيَّ صَلَاتُهُ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْهَا
And its fourth is that the witness is the day of Arafaat, and the witnessed is the day of Friday – from Abu Al Darda’a, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Frequent the Salawaat upon me on the day of Friday for it is a witnessed day. The Angels witness it, and no one sends Salawaat upon me except his Salat would be presented unto me-saww until he is free from it’.
قَالَ فَقُلْتُ وَ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And (even) after the death?’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَنْ تَأْكُلَ أَجْسَادَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ فَنَبِيُّ اللَّهِ حَيٌّ يُرْزَقُ.
He-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj has Prohibited unto the earth to consume bodies of the Prophets-as, so a Prophet-as of Allah-azwj would be alive, being Sustained’’.
1- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبَانِ بْنِ تَغْلِبَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ مَاتَ مَا بَيْنَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ إِلَى زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَعَاذَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ.
(The book) ‘Majalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Saeed Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from Ibn Abu Najran and Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad, from Hareyz, from Aban Bin Taghlub,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who dies in what is between decline of the sun on the day of Thursday up to decline of the sun from the day of Friday, Allah-azwj will Shelter him from compression of the grave’’.[1]
2- الْمَجَالِسُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هَارُونَ الصُّوفِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُوسَى الرُّويَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَسَنِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي مَحْمُودٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا ع يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْحَدِيثِ الَّذِي يَرْوِيهِ النَّاسُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَنْزِلُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا
(The book) ‘Al Majalis’ – from Ali Bin Ahmad Bin Musa, from Ahmad Bin Haroun Al Soufy, from Ubeydullah Bin Musa Al Rowyani, from Abdul Azeem Al Hasany, from Ibrahim Bin Abu Mahmoud who said,
‘I said to Al-Reza-asws, ‘O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! What are you-asws saying regarding the Hadeeth which the people are reporting from Rasool-Allah-saww that he-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Descends every night to sky of the world?’’
فَقَالَ ع لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْمُحَرِّفِينَ الْكَلِمَ عَنْ مَوَاضِعِهِ وَ اللَّهِ مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ كَذَلِكَ إِنَّمَا قَالَ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يُنْزِلُ مَلَكاً إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ فِي الثُّلُثِ الْأَخِيرِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ
He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Curse the distorters of the words from their places! By Allah-azwj, Rasool-Allah-saww had not said like that! But rather, he-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Sends down an Angel to sky of the world every night in the last third, and the night of Friday in first third.
فَيَأْمُرُهُ فَيُنَادِي هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَأَتُوبَ إِلَيْهِ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ يَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ
He-azwj Commands him-asws, so he calls out: “Is there any beggar so I-azwj can Give him? Is there any repentant so I-azwj can Turn to him! Is there any seeker of Forgiveness so I-azwj can Forgive (his sins) for him? O seeker of the good, come forward! O seeker of evil, cut short!”
فَلَا يَزَالُ يُنَادِي بِهَذَا حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ عَادَ إِلَى مَحَلِّهِ مِنْ مَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاءِ حَدَّثَنِي بِذَلِكَ أَبِي عَنْ جَدِّي عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِهِ ص.
He does not cease to call out with this until the dawn emerges. When the dawn emerges, he returns to his place from Kingdoms of the sky. My-asws father-asws had narrated to me-asws with that, from my-asws grandfather, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Rasool-Allah-saww’’.[2]
3- تَفْسِيرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي نَجْرَانَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ حُمَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ كَرَامَةً فِي عِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ إِلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ مَلَكاً مَعَهُ حُلَّةٌ فَيَنْتَهِي إِلَى بَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَيَقُولُ اسْتَأْذِنُوا لِي عَلَى فُلَانٍ
Tafseer Ali Bin Ibrahim – from his father, from Abdul Rahman Bin Abu Najran, from Aasim Bin Humeyr,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘For Allah-azwj there is a prestige among His-azwj Momineen servants during every day of Friday. Whenever it is the day of Friday, Allah-azwj Sends down an Angel to the Momin having a garment with him. He ends up at a door of the Paradise. He says, ‘Let me enter to see so and so!’
فَيُقَالُ لَهُ هَذَا رَسُولُ رَبِّكَ عَلَى الْبَابِ فَيَقُولُ لِأَزْوَاجِهِ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ تَرَيْنَ عَلَيَّ أَحْسَنَ فَيَقُلْنَ يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَ الَّذِي أَبَاحَكَ الْجَنَّةَ مَا رَأَيْنَا عَلَيْكَ شَيْئاً أَحْسَنَ مِنْ هَذَا بَعَثَ إِلَيْكَ رَبُّكَ
It is said to him (Momin), ‘This here is a messenger of your Lord-azwj at the door!’ He says to his wives, ‘Which thing you do see upon me as most excellent?’ They would say, ‘O our master! By the One-azwj Who Legalised the Paradise for you, we anything upon you more excellent than this one your Lord-azwj had Sent to you!’
فَيَتَّزِرُ بِوَاحِدَةٍ وَ يَتَعَطَّفُ بِالْأُخْرَى فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَضَاءَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى الْمَوْعِدِ فَإِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا تَجَلَّى لَهُمُ الرَّبُّ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَإِذَا نَظَرُوا إِلَيْهِ خَرُّوا سُجَّداً
So, he would trouser with one and wrap around with the other. He will not pass by anything except it would illuminate for him until he ends up to the appointment. When they gather, the Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted would Flash (Noor) to them. When they look at it, they will fall in Sajdah.
فَيَقُولُ عِبَادِي ارْفَعُوا رُءُوسَكُمْ لَيْسَ هَذَا يَوْمَ سُجُودٍ وَ لَا يَوْمَ عِبَادَةٍ قَدْ رَفَعْتُ عَنْكُمُ الْمَئُونَةَ
He-azwj will Say: “My-azwj servants, raise your heads! This isn’t a day of prostration nor a day of worship. I-azwj have Raised the efforts from you all!”
فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ وَ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا أَعْطَيْتَنَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا الْجَنَّةَ
They will say, ‘O Lord-azwj, and which it is superior than what You-azwj have already Given us? You-azwj have Given us the Paradise!’
فَيَقُولُ لَكُمْ مِثْلُ مَا فِي أَيْدِيكُمْ سَبْعِينَ ضِعْفاً
He-azwj will Say: “For you is similar is seventy-fold similar to what is already in your hands!”
فَيَرْجِعُ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ بِسَبْعِينَ ضِعْفَ مِثْلِ مَا فِي يَدَيْهِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ وَ لَدَيْنا مَزِيدٌ- وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ إِنَّهَا لَيْلَةٌ غَرَّاءُ وَ يَوْمٌ أَزْهَرُ فَأَكْثِرُوا فِيهَا مِنَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَ التَّهْلِيلِ وَ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ
The Momin will return during every Friday with seventy multiple of similar to what is in already in his hand, and it is His-azwj Word: and with Us would be more yet [50:35], and it is the day of Friday. It is an honourable night and a blossoming day, therefore frequent during it from the glorification, and extolling the Oneness, and exclaiming the Takbeer, and the praising upon Allah-azwj, and the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws’.
قَالَ فَيَمُرُّ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَلَا يَمُرُّ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَضَاءَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ فَيَقُلْنَ وَ الَّذِي أَبَاحَنَا الْجَنَّةَ يَا سَيِّدَنَا مَا رَأَيْنَاكَ قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنْكَ السَّاعَةَ
He-asws said: ‘The Momin will pass by, and there will not be anything he passes by with except it would illuminate for him until he ends up to his wives. They will say, ‘By the One-azwj Who Legalised the Paradise for us! O our master, we have not seen you more excellent at all than you are at the moment!’
فَيَقُولُ إِنِّي قَدْ نَظَرْتُ بِنُورِ رَبِّي
He will say, ‘I have looked at the Noor of my Rab-asws!’’
قَالَ إِنَّ أَزْوَاجَهُ لَا يَغِرْنَ وَ لَا يَحِضْنَ وَ لَا يَصْلَفْنَ.
He-asws said: ‘His wives will neither be deceitful, nor menstruate, nor be hateful’’.[3]
بيان تجلى لهم أي ظهر لهم بنور من أنوار جلاله فإذا نظروا إليه أي إلى ذلك النور و يحتمل أن يكون التجلي للقلب و النظر بعين القلب
Explanation – ‘Appear for them’ – i.e., Appear to them with a Noor from Noor(s) (radiance from radiance’s) of his-asws Grandness. ‘When they look at him-asws’, i.e., at that Noor. And it is possible that the appearance is for the heart and the looking with eye of the heart. (This is a belief of general Muslims that they will see their Lord-azwj but for us we will see our Rab (the Imam-asws)- as Allah-azwj cannot be seen by the eyes of human beings, but can be felt from the realities of the heart)
4- تَفْسِيرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَ شاهِدٍ وَ مَشْهُودٍ قَالَ الشَّاهِدُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الْمَشْهُودُ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ.
Tafseer Ali Bin Ibrahim – a witness and a witnessed [85:3]. He said, ‘The witness is the day of Friday, and the witnessed is the Day of Qiyamah’’.[4]
5- الْخِصَالُ، عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْأَوَّلِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ أَرْبَعَةً يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمَ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ وَ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad Bin Idrees, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Ashary, from Abu Abdullah Al Razy, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Usman, from Musa Bin Bakr,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Exalted Chose four from the days – the day of Friday, and the day of ‘Al Tarwiya’, and the day of Arafaat, and the day of the sacrifice’’.[5]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ عُبْدُوسِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ زُهَيْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَقِيلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بُرَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي لُبَابَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُنْذِرِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ سَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ وَ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْأَضْحَى وَ يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ
And from him, from Ubdous Bin Ali Bin Al Abbas, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Is’haq, from Al Haris Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Usama, from Yahya Bin Abu Bakr, from Zuheyr Bin Muhammad, from Abdullah Bin Areel, from Abu Abdul Rahman Bin Bureyd, from Abu Lubaba Bin Abdul Munzir who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The day of Friday is chief of the days and mightiest in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic than the day of (Eid) Al-Azha, and the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr.
فِيهِ خَمْسُ خِصَالٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ آدَمَ ع وَ أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ آدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ فِيهِ تَوَفَّى اللَّهُ آدَمَ وَ فِيهِ سَاعَةٌ لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَبْدُ فِيهَا شَيْئاً إِلَّا آتَاهُ مَا لَمْ يَسْأَلْ حَرَاماً
Regarding it, there are five qualities: – Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created Adam-as during it, and Allah-azwj Descended Adam-as to the earth during it, and Allah-azwj Caused Adam-as to expire during it, and there is an hour (time) during it the servant will not ask Allah-azwj for anything except He-azwj will Give him for as long as he does not ask Him-azwj for a Prohibited matter.
وَ مَا مِنْ مَلَكٍ مُقَرَّبٍ وَ لَا سَمَاءٍ وَ لَا أَرْضٍ وَ لَا رِيَاحٍ وَ لَا جِبَالٍ وَ لَا بَرٍّ وَ لَا بَحْرٍ إِلَّا وَ هُنَّ يَشْفَقْنَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْ تَقُومَ فِيهِ السَّاعَةُ.
And there is none from an Angel of Proximity, nor sky, nor earth, nor wind, nor mountain, nor land, nor sea, except and these are dreading from the day of Friday that the Hour might be established in it’’.[6]
6- الْمَجَالِسُ، وَ الْخِصَالُ، فِي خَبَرِ نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ جَاءُوا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص إِلَى أَنْ قَالُوا أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ سَبْعِ خِصَالٍ أَعْطَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ أَعْطَى أُمَّتَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأُمَمِ
(The books) ‘Al Majaalis’ and ‘Al Khisaal’ –
‘In a Hadeeth, a number of Jews came to the Prophet-saww’ – up to he (a Jew) said, ‘Inform us about seven qualities Allah-azwj has Given you-saww from between the Prophets-as, and Give to your-saww communities from between the communities’.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ أَعْطَانِي اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْأَذَانَ وَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى الْجَنَائِزِ وَ الْإِجْهَارَ فِي ثَلَاثِ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ الرُّخْصَةَ لِأُمَّتِي عِنْدَ الْأَمْرَاضِ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ الشَّفَاعَةَ لِأَصْحَابِ الْكَبَائِرِ مِنْ أُمَّتِي.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Given me-saww opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha), and the Azaan, and the congregating in the Masjid, and the day of Friday, the Salat upon the funeral, and being loud in three Salat(s), and the allowance for my-saww community during the illness and the journey, and the intercession for perpetrators from my-saww community of the major sins’’.[7]
7- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: السَّبْتُ لَنَا وَ الْأَحَدُ لِشِيعَتِنَا وَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ لِأَعْدَائِنَا وَ الثَّلَاثَاءُ لِبَنِي أُمَيَّةَ وَ الْأَرْبِعَاءُ يَوْمُ شُرْبِ الدَّوَاءِ وَ الْخَمِيسُ تُقْضَى فِيهِ الْحَوَائِجُ وَ الْجُمُعَةُ لِلتَّنَظُّفِ وَ التَّطَيُّبِ
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from someone else,

And from him, by the chain, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazr Bin Suweyd, from Muhammad Bin Hashim, from the one who reported it,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘Al-Abrash Al-Kalby asked him-asws about words of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: a witness and a witnessed [85:3]. Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘What has been said to you?’
فَقَالَ قَالُوا شَاهِدٌ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ مَشْهُودٌ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ
He said, ‘They are saying, a witness is the day of Friday, and a witnessed is the day of Arafaat’.
فَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَيْسَ كَمَا قِيلَ لَكَ الشَّاهِدُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ وَ الْمَشْهُودُ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ أَ مَا تَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَجْمُوعٌ لَهُ النَّاسُ وَ ذلِكَ يَوْمٌ مَشْهُودٌ.
Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘It isn’t like what has been said to you. The witness is the day of Arafaat, and the witnessed is the Day of Qiyamah. Have you not read the Quran? Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: That would be a Day (in which) the people would be Gathered to it, and that would be a witnessed Day [11:103]’’.[14]
أقول: اختلاف التأويل بحسب اختلاف البطون و اختلاف أحوال السائلين فالمناسب لكل منهم غير ما هو مناسب للآخر و قد مضى في خبر آخر أن الشاهد رسول الله ص و المشهود أمير المؤمنين ع و سيأتي بعض الأخبار في هذا المعنى في باب عرفة.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘The interpretation varies according to the different inner understandings and the varying conditions of the questioners. What is appropriate for one might not be appropriate for another. It has been narrated in another report that the witness is Rasool-Allah-saww and the witnessed is Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and I shall bring some of the Ahadeeth in this meaning in the chapter on Arafaat’.

And from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the hour in which the supplication is Answered on the day of Friday. He-asws said: ‘What is between the prayer leader being free from the sermon up to the rows are straightened; and another hour is from end of the day up to setting of the sun; and (Syeda) Fatima-asws used to supplicate during that time’’.[27]
وَ عَنْ كَعْبٍ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى اخْتَارَ مِنَ السَّاعَاتِ سَاعَاتِ الصَّلَوَاتِ وَ اخْتَارَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ اخْتَارَ مِنَ اللَّيَالِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ اخْتَارَ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ
And from Ka’ab –
‘Allah-azwj the Exalted Chose from the hours, hours of the Salat(s), and Chose from the days the day of Friday, and Chose from the nights Laylat Al-Qadr, and Chose from the month the month of Ramazan.
فَالصَّلَاةُ يُكَفِّرُ مَا بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْأُخْرَى وَ الْجُمُعَةُ تُكَفِّرُ بَيْنَهَا وَ بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى وَ يَزِيدُ ثَلَاثاً وَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ يُكَفِّرُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانٍ آخَرَ وَ الْحَجُّ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ مَا بَيْنَ حَسَنَتَيْنِ حَسَنَةٍ يَنْتَظِرُهَا وَ حَسَنَةٍ قَضَاهَا وَ مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ عَشْرِ ذِي الْحَجَّةِ وَ لَا لَيَالِي أَفْضَلَ مِنْهَا.
The Salat atones (expiates) for what is between it and another Salat, and the Friday atones between it and the other Friday and an additional three (days), and month Ramazan atones for what is between it and the other month of Ramazan, and the Hajj is similar to that, and it is what is between the two good deeds – a good deed of awaiting it and a good deed of fulfilling it; and there is none from the days more Beloved to Allah-azwj than 10th of Zulhijjah, nor any night superior to it’’.[28]
18- الْمُقْتَضَبُ، لِأَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هِلَالٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ غَزْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ مِنَ الشُّهُورِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ مِنَ اللَّيَالِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ الْخَبَرَ.

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Allah-azwj Chose from the days, the Friday, and from the months, month of Ramazan, and from the night, Laylat Al Qadr’ – the Hadeeth’’.[29]
19- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع مَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِيَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ إِنَّ كَلَامَ الطَّيْرِ فِيهِ إِذَا لَقِيَ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضاً سَلَامٌ سَلَامٌ يَوْمٌ صَالِحٌ.
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The sun does not emerge in a day superior to the day of Friday, and that the birds speak to each other during it greeting, ‘Greetings be on a righteous day!’’[30]
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ إِذَا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فِي دُخُولِ الصَّيْفِ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ عِنْدَ دُخُولِ الشِّتَاءِ دَخَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And it is reported that Rasool-Allah-saww, whenever he-saww went out from the house in the entry of the summer, went out on the day of Thursday, and whenever he-saww wanted to enter at the entry of the winter, entered on the day of Friday’’.[31]
وَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: كَانَ يَدْخُلُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَخْرُجُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘He-saww used to enter on the day of Friday and go on out the night of Friday’’.[32]
وَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَتَصَدَّقَ بِشَيْءٍ قَبْلَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَخِّرْهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And from Al-Baqir-asws: ‘Whenever he-saww wanted to donate something before the Friday, would delay it to the day of Friday’’.[33]
وَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَسْأَلُ الْحَاجَةَ فَيُؤَخِّرُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَضَاءَ حَاجَتِهِ الَّتِي سَأَلَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And from one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws): ‘The Momin servants asks the need, but Allah‑azwj Mighty and Majestic Delays fulfilment of his need which he had asked for, up to the day of Friday’’.[34]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع فِي قَوْلِ يَعْقُوبَ لِبَنِيهِ سَوْفَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّي قَالَ أَخَّرَهُمْ إِلَى السَّحَرِ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ فِي نَهَارِ الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَتَانِ مَا بَيْنَ فَرَاغِ الْخَطِيبِ مِنَ الْخُطْبَةِ إِلَى أَنْ تَسْتَوِيَ الصُّفُوفُ بِالنَّاسِ وَ أُخْرَى مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ
And from Al-Sadiq-asws regarding Words of Yaqoub-as (in the Quran) to his-as sons: ‘Soon I will seek Forgiveness of my Lord for you all [12:98], he-asws said: ‘He-as delayed them up to the pre-dawn of the night of Friday; and in the day of Friday there are two hours, what is between from the preacher being free from the sermon up to straightening of the rows with the people, and another from end of the day’.
وَ رُوِيَ إِذَا غَابَ نِصْفُ الْقُرْصِ.
And it is reported, when half the disc (of the sun) disappears’’.[35]
20- عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ ع وَ فِيهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ فِيهِ أُخْرِجَ وَ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And from the Prophet-saww: ‘The best day the sun has emerged upon is the day of Friday. Adam-as was created during it, and he-as entered the Paradise during it and was expelled during it, and the Hour will not be established except during the day of Friday’’.[36]
وَ رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ فِي الصَّحِيحِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ مَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ بِيَوْمٍ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And it is reported by Abu Baseer in the correct (Hadeeth). He said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far-asws saying: ‘The sun has not emerged in a day superior to the day of Friday’’.[37]
وَ رَوَى الْبَزَنْطِيُّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَيِّدُ الْأَيَّامِ يُضَاعِفُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ يَرْفَعُ فِيهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ فِيهِ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ يَكْشِفُ فِيهِ الْكُرُبَاتِ وَ يَقْضِي فِيهِ الْحَاجَاتِ الْعِظَامَ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْمَزِيدِ
And it is reported by Al Bazanty –
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The day of Friday is chief of the days. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Doubles the good deeds in it and Deletes the evil deeds in it, and Raises the ranks in it, and Answers the supplications in it, Removes the distresses in it, and Fulfils the mighty needs in it, and it is the day of increase.
لِلَّهِ فِيهِ عُتَقَاءُ وَ طُلَقَاءُ مِنَ النَّارِ مَا دَعَا اللَّهَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ عَرَفَ حَقَّهُ وَ حُرْمَتَهُ إِلَّا كَانَ حَتْماً عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ مِنْ عُتَقَائِهِ وَ طُلَقَائِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ
There are liberations for Allah-azwj and releases from the Fire. No one from the people will supplicate to Allah-azwj in it, and recognise its right and its sanctity except it would be inevitable upon that He-azwj Makes him from the liberated and the released ones from the Fire.
وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ لَيْلَتِهِ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَ بُعِثَ آمِناً وَ مَا اسْتَخَفَّ أَحَدٌ بِحُرْمَتِهِ وَ ضَيَّعَ حَقَّهُ إِلَّا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُصْلِيَهُ نَارَ جَهَنَّمَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَتُوبَ.
And if he were to die during its day or its night, would die a martyr, and be Resurrected in security; and no one taking lightly with its sanctity and wastes its right except there would be a right upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic that He-azwj Makes him arrive to the Hellfire except if he repents’’.[38]
21- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رَوَى الْمُعَلَّى بْنُ خُنَيْسٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ مَنْ وَافَقَ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَا يَشْتَغِلَنَّ بِشَيْءٍ غَيْرِ الْعِبَادَةِ فَإِنَّ فِيهِ يُغْفَرُ لِلْعِبَادِ وَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الرَّحْمَةُ.
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – It is reported by Al Moalla Bin Khuneys who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘The one from you who comes across the day of Friday should not pre-occupy with anything other than the worship for during it there is Forgiveness for the servants and the Mercy descends upon them’’.[39]
وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلْجُمُعَةِ حَقّاً وَاجِباً فَإِيَّاكَ أَنْ تُضَيِّعَ أَوْ تُقَصِّرَ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ عِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ وَ التَّقَرُّبِ إِلَيْهِ تَعَالَى بِالْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ وَ تَرْكِ الْمَحَارِمِ كُلِّهَا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يُضَاعِفُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَمْحُو فِيهِ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ يَرْفَعُ فِيهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ
And it is reported from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘For the Friday there is an obligatory right, therefore beware of wasting it or being deficient regarding anything from the worship of Allah-azwj and drawing closer to Him-azwj the Exalted with the righteous deeds; and shun the Prohibitions, all of them, for Allah-azwj Doubles the good deeds during it and Deletes the evils deeds in it, and Raises the ranks in it.
وَ يَوْمُهُ مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُحَيِّيَهَا بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُضَاعِفُ فِيهَا الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَمْحُو فِيهَا السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ.
And its day is like its night. If you are capable in reviving it with the supplication and the Salat, then do so, for Allah-azwj the Exalted Doubles the good deeds in it, and Deletes the evil deeds in it, and Allah-azwj is Capacious, Benevolent’’.[40]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الشَّاهِدُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الْمَشْهُودُ يَوْمُ عَرَفَةَ.
And from him,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The witness is the day of Friday, and the witness is the day of Arafaat’’.[41]
وَ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَقْصَرُ الْأَيَّامِ
And it is reported by Muhammad Bin Ismail Bin Bazie,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘It has reached me that the day of Friday is shortest of the days’.
قَالَ كَذَلِكَ هُوَ
He-asws said: ‘It is like that’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ كَيْفَ ذَاكَ
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! How is that so?’
قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَجْمَعُ أَرْوَاحَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ تَحْتَ عَيْنِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا رَكَدَتِ الشَّمْسُ عُذِّبَتْ أَرْوَاحُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ بِرُكُودِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَفَعَ عَنْهُمُ الْعَذَابَ لِفَضْلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِلشَّمْسِ رُكُودٌ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Gathers the souls of the Polytheists beneath eye (disc) of the sun. When the suns is still, souls of the Polytheists are punished with stillness of the sun. Whenever it is the day of Friday, the punishment is raised from them due to merit of the day of Friday, so there is no stillness for the sun’’.[42]
22- قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدٍ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ فَمَنْ جَاءَ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عِنْدَهُ طِيبٌ فَلْيَمَسَّ مِنْهُ وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالسِّوَاكِ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘This day (Friday) is a day of Eid. Allah-azwj has Made it so for the Muslims. So, the one comes to the Friday (Salat), let him bathe, and if there were to be perfume in his possession, let him touch from it, and upon you all is brushing the teeth’’.[43]
وَ عَنْهُمْ ع الْأَعْيَادُ أَرْبَعَةٌ الْفِطْرُ وَ الْأَضْحَى وَ الْغَدِيرُ وَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And from them-asws: ‘The Eid(s) are four – Al-Fitr, and Al-Azha, and Al-Ghadeer, and the day of Friday’’.[44]
وَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص ذَكَرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ فِيهِ سَاعَةٌ- لَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ.
And in the Hadeeth, Rasool-Allah-saww mentioned the day of Friday, so he-saww said: ‘There is an hour in it, not Muslim servant coming across it would ask Allah-azwj for anything except He-azwj will Give it to him’’.[45]
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص مَنْ مَاتَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وُقِيَ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ.
And from the Prophet-saww: ‘One who dies on the day of Friday will be saved from punishment of the grave’’.[46]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا وَقَاهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ
And from him-asws having said: ‘There is none from a Muslim dying on the night of Friday except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Save him from Fitna of the grave’.
وَ فِي لَفْظٍ آخَرَ إِلَّا يَرَى مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقَبْرِ
And in another wording: ‘Except he will see from Fitna of the grave’.
وَ فِي خَبَرٍ آخَرَ إِلَّا وُقِيَ الْفَتَّانَ.
And in another: ‘Except will be saved from the Fitna’’.[47]
وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُسْلِمَةٍ يَمُوتُ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا وُقِيَ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَ فِتْنَتَهُ وَ بَقِيَ لَا حِسَابَ عَلَيْهِ.
And in another Hadeeth: ‘There is none from a Muslim man and Muslim woman dying on the night of Friday or the day of Friday except will be saved from punishment of the grave and its Fitna, and will remain having not Reckoning upon him’’.[48]
وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ شَيْئاً وَ اخْتَارَ مِنَ الْأَيَّامِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Chose a thing from all things, and He-azwj Chose from the days, the day of Friday’’.[49]
23- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رَوَى أَبُو بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى الْحَاجَةَ فَيُؤَخِّرُ اللَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ الَّتِي سَأَلَ إِلَى لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ لِيَخُصَّهُ بِفَضْلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – It is reported by Abu Baseer,
‘From one of the two (5th or 6th Imam-asws) having said: ‘The Momin servants asks Allah-azwj the Exalted for the need, but He-azwj Delays his need which he had asked for up to the night of Friday in order to specialise it with merit of the day of Friday’’.[50]
24- الْإِخْتِصَاصُ، رُوِيَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ لَيْلَةً مِنْ بَعْضِ اللَّيَالِي عِنْدَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فَقَرَأْتُ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
(The book) ‘Al Ikhtisas’ – It is reported from Jabir Al Jufy who said,
‘In one night from the night I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws, and I recited this Verse: O you those who believe! When there is a call for the Salat on the day of Friday, then hasten to the Zikr of Allah [62:9]’.
قَالَ فَقَالَ مَهْ يَا جَابِرُ كَيْفَ قَرَأْتَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘O Jabir, Shh! How did you recite?’’
قَالَ قُلْتُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاسْعَوْا إِلى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘O you those who believe! When there is a call for the Salat on the day of Friday, then hasten to the Zikr of Allah [62:9]’.
قَالَ هَذَا تَحْرِيفٌ يَا جَابِرُ
He-asws said: ‘This is an alteration, O Jabir!’’
قَالَ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ أَقْرَأُ جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘How should I recite it? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’’
قَالَ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذَا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ يَا جَابِرُ لَوْ كَانَ سَعْياً لَكَانَ عَدْواً مِمَّا كَرِهَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لَقَدْ كَانَ يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يَعْدُوَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘O you those who believe! When there is a call for the Salat on the day of Friday, then proceed to the Zikr of Allah-azwj!’ This is how it was Revealed, O Jabir. Had it been ‘Hasten’, it would have been ‘running’ from what Rasool-Allah-saww disliked. He‑saww used to dislike the man running to the Salat.
يَا جَابِرُ لِمَ سُمِّيَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ
O Jabir! Why has the day of Friday has been named as the day of ‘Jummah’?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ تُخْبِرُنِي جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘You-azwj inform me, may Allah-azwj Make me your-asws ransom!’
قَالَ أَ فَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ
He-asws said: ‘Shall I-asws inform you of its mightiest interpretation?’’
قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى جَعَلَنِيَ اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Yes, may Allah-azwj Make me your-asws ransom!’
فَقَالَ يَا جَابِرُ سَمَّى اللَّهُ الْجُمُعَةَ جُمُعَةً لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَمَعَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَ رَبُّنَا وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ الْبِحَارَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ النَّارَ وَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِي الْمِيثَاقِ
He-asws said: ‘O Jabir! Allah-azwj named the Friday as ‘Jummah’ because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Gathered (Jam’a) during that day, the former ones and the latter ones, and entirety of what Allah-azwj Created, from the Jinn and the humans, and all things our Lord-azwj Created, and the skies, and the earths and the oceans, and the Paradise and the Fire, and all things Allah-azwj Created during the Covenant.
فَأَخَذَ الْمِيثَاقَ مِنْهُمْ لَهُ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ ص بِالنُّبُوَّةِ وَ لِعَلِيٍّ ع بِالْوَلَايَةِ وَ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ قَالَ اللَّهُ لِلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ- ائْتِيا طَوْعاً أَوْ كَرْهاً قالَتا أَتَيْنا طائِعِينَ:
He-azwj Took the Covenant from them with the Lordship for Him-azwj, and with the Prophet-hood for Muhammad-saww, and with the Wilayah for Ali-asws; and during that day Allah-azwj Said to the skies and the earth: “Come, willingly or unwillingly!” They both said: ‘We come willingly’ [41:11].
فَسَمَّى اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةَ لِجَمْعِهِ فِيهِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ
Thus Allah-azwj Named that day as ‘Al-Jummah’ due to His-azwj Gathering in it the former ones and the latter ones.
ثُمَّ قَالَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا نُودِيَ لِلصَّلاةِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ يَوْمِكُمْ هَذَا الَّذِي جَمَعَكُمْ فِيهِ وَ الصَّلَاةُ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَعْنِي بِالصَّلَاةِ الْوَلَايَةَ وَ هِيَ الْوَلَايَةُ الْكُبْرَى
Then Mighty and Majestic Said: O you those who believe! When there is a call for the Salat on the day of Friday, [62:9], on this day of yours which you are gathered in; and the Salat is Amir Al-Momineen-asws, meaning by the Salat, the Wilayah, and it is the great Wilayah.
فَفِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَتَتِ الرُّسُلُ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ وَ الثَّقَلَانِ الْجِنُّ وَ الْإِنْسُ وَ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ
So, during that day came the Messengers-as, and the Prophets-as, and the Angels and all things Allah-azwj Created, and the two heavyweights the Jinn and the humans, and the skies, and the earths.
وَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِالتَّلْبِيَةِ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- فَامْضُوا إِلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ-
And the Momineen should be with the Talbiyyah of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic (saying ‘Here I am O Allah-azwj’), then proceed to the Zikr of Allah-azwj, and Zikr of Allah-azwj is Amir Al-Momineen-asws.
وَ ذَرُوا الْبَيْعَ يَعْنِي الْأَوَّلَ- ذلِكُمْ يَعْنِي بَيْعَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَلَايَتَهُ- خَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ بَيْعَةِ الْأَوَّلِ وَ وَلَايَتِهِ- إِنْ كُنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ-
and leave the selling – meaning the first one (Abu Bakr) – That – meaning allegiance of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and his-asws Wilayah – would be better for you – than allegiance of the first one (Abu Bakr) and his governance – if you only knew [62:9].
فَإِذا قُضِيَتِ الصَّلاةُ يَعْنِي بَيْعَةَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع- فَانْتَشِرُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ يَعْنِي بِالْأَرْضِ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ كَمَا أَمَرَ بِطَاعَةِ الرَّسُولِ وَ طَاعَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ كَنَّى اللَّهُ فِي ذَلِكَ عَنْ أَسْمَائِهِمْ فَسَمَّاهُمْ بِالْأَرْضِ- وَ ابْتَغُوا فَضْلَ اللَّهِ
But when you have accomplished the Salat – meaning allegiance of Amir Al-Momineen-asws – then disperse in the earth [62:10] – meaning with the earth being the successors-asws. Allah-azwj Commanded with obeying them-asws and their-asws Wilayah just as He-azwj Commanded obedience to the Rasool-saww and obedience of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. Allah-azwj Teknonymed in that of their-asws names, so He-azwj Named them-asws as ‘the earth’, and seek from the Grace of Allah-azwj.
قَالَ جَابِرٌ وَ ابْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ
Jabir said, ‘and seek from the Grace of Allah?’
قَالَ ع تَحْرِيفٌ هَكَذَا أُنْزِلَتْ وَ ابْتَغُوا فَضْلَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْأَوْصِيَاءِ- وَ اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَثِيراً لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
He-asws said: ‘Alteration! It was Revealed like this – ‘and seek the Grace of Allah-azwj being upon the successors-asws’ – and do Zikr of Allah a lot, that you may be successful [62:10].
ثُمَّ خَاطَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي ذَلِكَ الْمَوْقِفِ مُحَمَّداً فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِذا رَأَوْا الشُّكَّاكُ وَ الْجَاحِدُونَ- تِجارَةً يَعْنِي الْأَوَّلَ أَوْ لَهْواً يَعْنِي الثَّانِيَ- انْصَرَفُوا إِلَيْهَا
Then Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Addressed Muhammad-saww in that juncture. He-azwj Said: ‘O Muhammad-saww! when – the doubters and the rejectors – they see trade – meaning the first one (Abu Bakr) – or sport – meaning the second one (Umar) – they disperse to go to these’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ انْفَضُّوا إِلَيْها
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘they break (the Salat) to (go) to it?’
قَالَ تَحْرِيفٌ هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ- وَ تَرَكُوكَ مَعَ عَلِيٍ قائِماً-
He-asws said: ‘Alteration! It was Revealed like this – and they leave you standing with Ali-asws.
قُلْ يَا مُحَمَّدُ ما عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ- خَيْرٌ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ وَ مِنَ التِّجارَةِ يَعْنِي بَيْعَةَ الْأَوَّلِ وَ الثَّانِي- لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا
Say: – O Muhammad-saww! – ‘Whatever is in the Presence of Allah – from the Wilayah of Ali‑asws and the successors-asws – is better than the sport and the trade – meaning allegiance of the first one and the second one, for those who are pious.
قَالَ قُلْتُ لَيْسَ فِيهَا لِلَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘There isn’t in it (the words): ‘For those who are pious!’
قَالَ فَقَالَ بَلَى هَكَذَا نَزَلَتْ وَ أَنْتُمْ هُمُ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَ اللَّهُ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘Yes, that is how it was Revealed, and you (Shias) are those who are pious, and Allah is the best of the sustainers [62:11]’’.[51]
وَ مِنْهُ رَوَى عَلِيُّ بْنُ مَهْزِيَارَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ مَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَارِفاً بِحَقِّنَا أُعْتِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ كُتِبَ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ.
And from him, it is reported by Ali Bin Mahziyar raising it to,
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘One who dies on the night of Friday being a recogniser of our-asws rights will be liberated from the Fire and it will be written for him a freedom pass from punishment of the grave’’.[52]
25- دَعَائِمُ الْإِسْلَامِ، عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ غَرَّاءُ وَ يَوْمُهَا أَزْهَرُ وَ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ مَاتَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا كُتِبَ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهَا أُعْتِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ لَا بَأْسَ بِالصَّلَاةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ كُلَّهُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا تُسْعَرُ فِيهِ النَّارُ.
(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ –
‘From Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir-asws having said: ‘The night of Friday is honourable and its day blossoms, and there is no Momin dying on the night of Friday except it will be written for him a freedom pass from punishment of the grave, and if he dies during its day, he will be liberated from the Fire, and there is no problem with the Salat on the day of Friday, all of it, because the Fire is no inflamed during it’’.[53]
وَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ وَ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُمَا قَالا إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ مَلَكاً يُنَادِي مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ يُنَادِي فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ غَيْرِ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنْ ثُلُثِ اللَّيْلِ الْآخَرِ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَأُعْطِيَهُ هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَأَتُوبَ إِلَيْهِ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ يَا طَالِبَ الْخَيْرِ أَقْبِلْ يَا طَالِبَ الشَّرِّ أَقْصِرْ.
And from Al-Baqir-asws and Al-Sadiq-asws, both said: ‘When it were to be the night of Friday Allah-azwj Commands an Angel to call out from beginning of the night up to its end, and he calls out during every night apart from the night of Friday from the last third of the night: ‘Is there any beggar so I-azwj can Give him? Is there any repentant so I-azwj can Turn to him? Is there anyone seeking Forgiveness so I-azwj can Forgive him? O seeker of the good, come forward! O seeker of the evil cut short!’’[54]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ سَاعَةٌ- لَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ فِيهَا شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ وَ هِيَ مِنْ حِينِ نُزُولِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى حِينِ يُنَادَى بِالصَّلَاةِ.
And from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘During the day of Friday there is an hour, no Momin servant will ask Allah-azwj for anything during it except he would be Given it, and it is from when the sun declines up to when it is called for the Salat’’.[55]
26- تَفْسِيرُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الرَّبَّ تَعَالَى يُنْزِلُ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فِي الثُّلُثِ الْأَخِيرِ أَمَامَهُ مَلَكَانِ
Tafseer Ali Bin Ibrahim – from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Exalted Lord-azwj Sends down His-azwj Command every night of Friday from beginning of the night, and during every night in the last third, having two Angels in front of it.
فَيُنَادِي هَلْ مِنْ تَائِبٍ فَيُتَابَ عَلَيْهِ هَلْ مِنْ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ فَيُغْفَرَ لَهُ هَلْ مِنْ سَائِلٍ فَيُؤْتَى سُؤْلَهُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ كُلَّ مُنْفِقٍ خَلَفاً وَ كُلَّ مُمْسِكٍ تَلَفاً إِلَى أَنْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ ثُمَّ عَادَ أَمْرُ الرَّبِّ إِلَى عَرْشِهِ يُقَسِّمُ الْأَرْزَاقَ بَيْنَ الْعِبَادِ
He (Angel) calls out, ‘Is there any repentant so He-azwj can Turn to him? Is there any seeker of Forgiveness so He-azwj can Forgive for him? Is there any beggar so He-azwj can Grant his request? O Allah-azwj! Give every spender a replacement, and every withholder a damage!’ – up to the emergence of dawn. Then the Command of the Lord-azwj returns to its Lord-azwj for Him-azwj to distribute the sustenance between the servants’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لِلْفُضَيْلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ يَا فُضَيْلُ نَصِيبَكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ وَ ما أَنْفَقْتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهُوَ يُخْلِفُهُ وَ هُوَ خَيْرُ الرَّازِقِينَ.
Then he-asws said to Al-Fuzeyl Bin Yasaar: ‘O Fuzeyl! (Attain) your share from that, and it is Words of Mighty and Majestic: And whatever you spend from anything, He will Replace it, and He is the best of the Sustainers [34:39]’’.[56]
27- كِتَابُ الْعَرُوسِ، لِلشَّيْخِ الْفَقِيهِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقُمِّيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ أَتَانِي بِمِرْآةٍ فِي وَسَطِهَا كَالنُّكْتَةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ يَا جَبْرَائِيلَ مَا هَذِهِ
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Arous’ of the Sheykh, the jurist Muhammad Ja’far Bin Ahmad Bin Ali Al Qummi, by his chain,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘Jibraeel-as came to me-saww with a mirror, there was a black dot in the middle of it. I-saww said to him-as: ‘O Jibraeel-as! What is this?’
قَالَ هَذِهِ الْجُمُعَةُ
He-as said: ‘This is the Friday’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْجُمُعَةُ
He-saww said, ‘I-saww said, ‘And what is the Friday?’
قَالَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ
He-as said: ‘There is a lot of good in it for you all!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ مَا الْخَيْرُ الْكَثِيرُ
He-saww said: ‘I-saww said: ‘And what is ‘the lot of good’?’
فَقَالَ تَكُونُ لَكَ عِيداً وَ لِأُمَّتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ
He-as said: ‘It will be an Eid (festival) for you-saww and for your-saww community from after you‑saww’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا لَنَا فِيهَا
I-saww said: ‘And what is for us in it?’
قَالَ لَكُمْ فِيهَا سَاعَةٌ- لَا يُوَافِقُهَا عَبْدٌ مُسْلِمٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ مَسْأَلَةً فِيهَا وَ هِيَ لَهُ قِسْمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهَا وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ قِسْمٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا ذُخِرَتْ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهَا وَ إِنْ تَعَوَّذَ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ مَكْتُوبٌ صَرَفَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مَا هُوَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْهُ.
He-saww said: ‘There is an hour for you all during it, no Muslim servant will come across it asking Allah-azwj a request in it, and it is an apportionment for him in the world, except he will be Given it, and if it does not happen to be an apportionment for him in the world, it will be treasured for him in the Hereafter better than it, and if he were to seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from evil what is Decreed upon him, Allah-azwj would Turn it away from him what is mightier than it’’.[57]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِذْ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ يَوْمِ الْأَحَدِ كَيْفَ سُمِّيَ يَوْمَ الْأَحَدِ
And from him, by his chain,
‘From Ali-asws having said: ‘We were with Rasool-Allah-saww when a man came. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-saww! Inform me about the day of Sunday, why was it named as the day of ‘Ahad’?’
فَقَالَ لِأَنَّهُ أَحَدٌ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الدُّنْيَا وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ
He-saww said: ‘Because it is one day Allah-azwj Created the world, and it is the first day Allah-azwj had Created’.
فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ يَوْمِ الْإِثْنَيْنِ كَيْفَ سُمِّيَ يَوْمَ الْإِثْنَيْنِ
He said, ‘May my father and my mother (be sacrificed) for you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Inform me about the day of Monday, how come it is named as the day of ‘Isnayn’?’
قَالَ لِأَنَّهُ ثَانِيَ يَوْمٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الدُّنْيَا وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ وُلِدَتْ فِيهِ وَ يَوْمٌ نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ النُّبُوَّةُ وَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَبِيبِي أَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ أُقْبَضُ فِيهِ
He-saww said: ‘Because it is the second (Isnayn) day Allah-saww Allah-azwj Created the world, and it is a day I-saww was blessed to (my-saww parents-asws), and the day the Prophet-hood was Revealed in it, and my-saww beloved (Jibraeel-as) informed me that it is the day I-saww will be passing away in’.

He said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed) for you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! Inform me about the day of Tuesday (Al-Salasa)’.
فَقَالَ هُوَ ثَالِثُ يَوْمٍ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ تَابَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ عَلَى آدَمَ وَ رَضِيَ عَنْهُ وَ اجْتَبَاهُ وَ هَدَاهُ
He-saww said: ‘It is the third (Salisa) day Allah-azwj had Created the world from, and it is the day Allah-azwj Turned to Adam-as during it and was Satisfied with him-as, and Selected him-as and Guided him-as’.

He-saww said: ‘It is the fourth (Rabia) day Allah-azwj Created from the world, and it is an inauspicious day of continuous bad luck. Allah-azwj Created Al-Sarsar wind during it’.
قَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ

He-saww said: ‘It is the fifth (Khamis) day Allah-azwj Created from the world. It’s night is a comforter and its day is a companion, and Idrees-as was Raised in it, and Iblees-la was Cursed in it’.

فَبَكَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص وَ قَالَ سَأَلْتَنِي عَنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ
Rasool-Allah-saww wept, and said: ‘You have asked me-asws about the day of Friday’.

He said, ‘Yes’.

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The Angels in the sky have named it as the day of increase (Al-Mazeed). The day of Friday, Allah-azwj Created Adam-as in it! The day of Friday is a day Allah-azwj Blew the Spirit into Adam-as! The day of Friday is a day Allah-azwj Settled Adam-as into the Paradise during it! The day of Friday is a day Allah-azwj Told the Angels to prostrate to Adam-as!

The day of Friday is a day in which Allah-azwj Ransomed Ismail-as with a mighty slaughter! The day of Friday is a day in which Allah-azwj Created the skies and the earth and whatever is between the two! The day of Friday is a day in which are feared the horrors and severities of the Qiyamah and the greatest panic!’’[58]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ سُمِّيَتِ الْجُمُعَةُ جُمُعَةً لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ جَمَعَ الْخَلْقَ لِوَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
And from him, by his chain,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The Friday is named as ‘Jummah’ because (during it) Allah-azwj Gathered the creatures for Wilayah of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household’.

And from him, by his chain from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from his father,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan-asws the 1st, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Allah-azwj Created the Prophets-as and the successors-as on the day of Friday, and it is the day in which Allah-azwj Took the Covenant. We-asws and our-asws Shias are from a treasured clay. No one will deviate from it up to the Day of Qiyamah’’.[60]

And from him, by his chain,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Whenever it is the night of Friday, fishes of the oceans raise their heads, and (so do) creatures of the land, then they call out in a loud voice, ‘Lord-azwj, do not Seize us due to sins of the human beings!’’[61]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عُتَقَاءَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ فَتَعَرَّضُوا لِرَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ مَنْ مَاتَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَقَاهُ اللَّهُ فِتْنَةَ الْقَبْرِ وَ طَبَعَ عَلَيْهِ بِطَابَعِ الشُّهَدَاءِ- لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ كَانَ وَ كَانَ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ بَرَاءَةً مِنْ ضَغْطَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَ كَانَ شَهِيداً.
And from him, by his chain –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘For Allah-azwj there are liberations during every night of Friday. Therefor present yourselves to the Mercy of Allah-azwj during every night of Friday and the day of Friday; and the one who dies during the night of Friday or the day of Friday, Allah-azwj will Save him from Fitna of the grave, and Seal upon him with a seal of the martyrs. Not one of you should be saying, ‘It has happened and it has happened’, and that a freedom pass has been written for him from compression of the grave, and that he would be a martyr’’.[62]

And from him, by his chain from Abu Baseer,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj the Exalted tends to Command an Angel so he calls out every night of Friday from above His-azwj Throne, from beginning of the night up to its end: “Is there no Momin servant will supplicate to Me-azwj for his Hereafter and his world before the emergence of dawn so I-azwj an Answer him? Is there no Momin servant repenting to Me‑azwj from his sins before the emergence of day so I-azwj can Turn to him?
أَ لَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ قَدْ قَتَّرْتُ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ فَيَسْأَلَنِي الزِّيَادَةَ فِي رِزْقِهِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَأَزِيدَهُ وَ أُوَسِّعَ عَلَيْهِ أَ لَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ سَقِيمٌ فَيَسْأَلَنِي أَنْ أَشْفِيَهُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَأُعَافِيَهُ
Is there no Momin servant I-azwj has Restricted his sustenance upon him, so he would ask Me‑azwj for the increase in his sustenance before the emergence of daw so I-azwj can Increase it and Expand it upon him? Is there no Momin servant who is sick so he asks Me-azwj to Heal him before the emergence of day, so I-azwj can Grant him well being?
أَ لَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ مَغْمُومٌ مَحْبُوسٌ يَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ أُطْلِقَهُ مِنْ حَبْسِهِ وَ أُفَرِّجَ عَنْهُ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَأُطْلِقَهُ وَ أُخَلِّيَ سَبِيلَهُ أَ لَا عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ مَظْلُومٌ يَسْأَلُنِي أَنْ آخُذَ لَهُ بِظُلَامَتِهِ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ فَأَنْتَصِرَ لَهُ وَ آخُذَ بِظُلَامَتِهِ
Is there no Momin servant who is sad, imprisoned, so he asks Me-azwj to free him from his prison and Grant him relief, before the emergence of dawn, so I-azwj can Free him and Free his way? Is there no Momin servant who is oppressed, asking Me-azwj Seize his grievance for him, before the emergence of day, so I-azwj can Grant victory to him and Seize his oppressor?”’
قَالَ فَلَا يَزَالُ يُنَادِي حَتَّى يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ.
He-asws said: ‘He does not cease to call out until the emergence of dawn’’.[63]

(The book) ‘Kitab Al Arous’ – by his chain,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The charity (donated) on the night of Friday is (multiplied) by a thousand, and the charity on the day of Friday is (multiplied) by a thousand’.
وَ قَالَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الْفَضْلِ سَوَاءٌ.
And he-asws said: ‘The night of Friday and the day of Friday are same in the merit’’.[64]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِنَّ اللَّهَ اخْتَارَ الْجُمُعَةَ فَجَعَلَ يَوْمَهَا عِيداً وَ اخْتَارَ لَيْلَهَا فَجَعَلَهَا مِثْلَهَا وَ إِنَّ مِنْ فَضْلِهَا أَنْ لَا يُسْأَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَاجَةً إِلَّا اسْتُجِيبَ لَهُ
And from him, by his chain –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Chose the Friday, so He-azwj Made its days as an Eid (festival), and Chose its night so Make it similar to it; and from its merit is that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will not be asked on a need on the day of Friday except He-azwj will Respond to it.
وَ إِنِ اسْتَحَقَّ قَوْمٌ عِقَاباً فَصَادَفُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ لَيْلَتَهَا صُرِفَ عَنْهُمْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ شَيْءٌ مِمَّا أَحْكَمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ فَصَّلَهُ إِلَّا أَبْرَمَهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ- فَلَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ أَفْضَلُ اللَّيَالِي وَ يَوْمُهَا أَفْضَلُ الْأَيَّامِ وَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ لَيْلَةٌ غَرَّاءُ وَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمٌ أَزْهَرُ.
And if a people were to deserve Punishment, so they come across the day of Friday and its night, that would be Turned away from that, and there does not remain anything from what Allah-azwj has Judged and Decided it except He-azwj Concludes in during the night of Friday. Thus, the night of Friday is best of the nights and its day is best of the day; and the night of Friday is a night of honour and the day of Friday is a blossoming day’’.[65]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع اجْتَنِبُوا الْمَعَاصِيَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّ السَّيِّئَةَ مُضَاعَفَةٌ وَ الْحَسَنَةَ مُضَاعَفَةٌ وَ مَنْ تَرَكَ مَعْصِيَةَ اللَّهِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ كُلَّ مَا سَلَفَ فِيهِ وَ قِيلَ لَهُ اسْتَأْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ
And from him, by his chain,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Shun the acts of disobedience on the night of Friday, for the evil deeds are doubles and the good deeds are doubled; and the one who neglects disobeying Allah-azwj on the night of Friday, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him all what (sins) had been prior and it will be said to him: ‘Resume the deeds (anew)!’
وَ مَنْ بَارَزَ اللَّهَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ أَخَذَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكُلِّ مَا عَمِلَ فِي عُمُرِهِ وَ ضَاعَفَ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذَابَ بِهَذِهِ الْمَعْصِيَةِ
And the one who duels (upsets) Allah-azwj on the night of Friday with his acts of disobedience, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Size him for all what he had done in his lifetime and Double the Punishment upon him due to this disobedience.
فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ رَفَعَتْ حِيتَانُ الْبُحُورِ رُءُوسَهَا وَ دَوَابُّ الْبَرَارِي ثُمَّ نَادَتْ بِصَوْتٍ ذَلِقٍ رَبَّنَا لَا تُعَذِّبْنَا بِذُنُوبِ الْآدَمِيِّينَ.
When it will be the day of Friday, fishes of the seas and creatures of the land raise their heads, then call out with an eloquence voice: ‘Our Lord-azwj! Do not Punish us due to sins of the human beings’’.[66]

31- كِتَابُ زَيْدٍ النَّرْسِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمَا الْعِيدَيْنِ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ رِضْوَانَ خَازِنَ الْجِنَانِ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ فِي أَرْوَاحِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ هُمْ فِي غُرُفَاتِ الْجِنَانِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَذِنَ لَكُمْ بِالزِّيَارَةِ إِلَى أَهَالِيكُمْ وَ أَحِبَّائِكُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا
The book of Zayd Al Nasry –
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him-asws saying: ‘Whenever it is the day of Friday and day of the two Eid(s), Allah-azwj Commands Rizwaan, keeper of the Gardens to call out among the souls of the Momineen, and they are in chambers of the gardens: ‘Allah-azwj has Permitted for you all in visitation to your family members and your loved ones from people of the world!’
ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ رِضْوَانَ أَنْ يَأْتِيَ لِكُلِّ رُوحٍ بِنَاقَةٍ مِنْ نُوقِ الْجَنَّةِ عَلَيْهَا قُبَّةٌ مِنْ زَبَرْجَدَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ غِشَاؤُهَا مِنْ يَاقُوتَةٍ رَطْبَةٍ صَفْرَاءَ عَلَى النُّوقِ جِلَالٌ وَ بَرَاقِعُ مِنْ سُنْدُسِ الْجِنَانِ وَ إِسْتَبْرَقِهَا
Then Allah-azwj Commands Rizwaan to go to each soul with a she-camel from the she-camels of Paradise. Upon these would be domes of green emeralds, their coverings from moist yellow rubies. Upon the camels would be would saddles and covering of silk of the Gardens and their brocades.
فَيَرْكَبُونَ تِلْكَ النُّوقَ عَلَيْهِمْ حُلَلُ الْجَنَّةِ مُتَوَّجُونَ بِتِيجَانِ الدُّرِّ الرَّطْبِ تُضِيءُ كَمَا تُضِيءُ الْكَوَاكِبُ الدُّرِّيَّةُ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ قُرْبِ النَّاظِرِ إِلَيْهَا لَا مِنَ الْبُعْدِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي الْعَرْصَةِ
They will be riding the camels (and) upon them would be garments of Paradise, crowned with crows of gems illuminating like illumination of the shining stars in atmosphere of the sky from the nearby beholders to it, not from afar. They will be gathering in the plains.
ثُمَّ يَأْمُرُ اللَّهُ جَبْرَئِيلَ فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ أَنْ يَسْتَقْبِلُوهُمْ فَيَسْتَقْبِلُهُمْ مَلَائِكَةُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ وَ تُشَيِّعُهُمْ مَلَائِكَةُ كُلِّ سَمَاءٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الْأُخْرَى فَيَنْزِلُونَ بِوَادِي السَّلَامِ وَ هُوَ وَادٍ بِظَهْرِ الْكُوفَةِ
Then Allah-azwj will Command Jibraeel-as among inhabitants of the skies to welcome them. The Angels of every sky will welcome them and Angels of every sky will escort them to the other sky. They will descend at the valley of peace (Wady Al-Salaam), and it is a valley at the outback of Al-Kufa.
ثُمَّ يَتَفَرَّقُونَ فِي الْبُلْدَانِ وَ الْأَمْصَارِ حَتَّى يَزُورُوا أَهَالِيَهُمُ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا مَعَهُمْ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَعَهُمْ مَلَائِكَةٌ يَصْرِفُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ عَمَّا يَكْرَهُونَ النَّظَرَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى مَا يُحِبُّونَ وَ يَزُورُونَ حُفَرَ الْأَبْدَانِ
Then they will disperse in the counties and the cities until they visit their family members, those who were with them in house of the world, and with them will be Angels turning their faces away from what they would be disliking looking at to what they would be loving and visiting graves of the bodies.
حَتَّى إِذَا مَا صَلَّى النَّاسُ وَ رَاحَ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ مِنْ مُصَلَّاهُمْ نَادَى فِيهِمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ بِالرَّحِيلِ إِلَى غُرُفَاتِ الْجِنَانِ فَيَرْحَلُونَ
Until when the people have prayed and people of the world depart to go to their houses from their praying places, Jibraeel-as will call out among them with the departure to chambers of the Gardens. So, they will be departing’.
قَالَ فَبَكَى رَجُلٌ فِي الْمَجْلِسِ فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا لِلْمُؤْمِنِ فَمَا حَالُ الْكَافِرِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘A man in the gathering cried. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! This is for the Momin, so what is situation of the Kafir?’
فَقَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَبْدَانٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى فِي بِقَاعِ النَّارِ وَ أَرْوَاحٌ خَبِيثَةٌ مَلْعُونَةٌ تَجْرِي بِوَادِي بَرَهُوتَ مِنْ بِئْرِ الْكِبْرِيتِ فِي مُرَكَّبَاتِ الْخَبِيثَاتِ الْمَلْعُونَاتِ يُؤَدِّي ذَلِكَ الْفَزَعَ وَ الْأَهْوَالَ إِلَى الْأَبْدَانِ الْمَلْعُونَةِ الْخَبِيثَةِ تَحْتَ الثَّرَى فِي بِقَاعِ النَّارِ
Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Accursed bodies beneath the soil in the spots of fire, and wicked accursed souls flowing in the valley of Barhout from the wells of sulphur in the wicked accursed compounds that would cause panic and the horrors to the accursed wicked bodies beneath the soul in the spots of fire.
فَهِيَ بِمَنْزِلَةِ النَّائِمِ إِذَا رَأَى الْأَهْوَالَ فَلَا تَزَالُ تِلْكَ الْأَبْدَانُ فَزِعَةً ذَعِرَةً وَ تِلْكَ الْأَرْوَاحُ مُعَذَّبَةً بِأَنْوَاعِ الْعَذَابِ فِي أَنْوَاعِ الْمُرَكَّبَاتِ الْمَسْخُوطَاتِ الْمَلْعُونَاتِ الْمَصْفُوفَاتِ مَسْجُونَاتٍ فِيهَا لَا تَرَى رَوْحاً وَ لَا رَاحَةً إِلَى مَبْعَثِ قَائِمِنَا
These are the status of the sleeping one when he sees the horrors (nightmares). So those bodies will not cease to be alarmed, dreading, and those souls will be tormented with a variety of punishment in a variety of compounds, the Angered, the Accursed, arrayed in chains, imprisoned in it. They will neither see any comfort nor rest up to Sending of our-asws Qaim-ajfj.
فَيَحْشُرُهَا اللَّهُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمُرَكَّبَاتِ فَتُرَدُّ فِي الْأَبْدَانِ وَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ النَّشَرَاتِ فَتُضْرَبُ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ ثُمَّ تَصِيرُ إِلَى النَّارِ أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ وَ دَهْرَ الدَّاهِرِينَ.
Allah-azwj will Resurrect these from those compounds and they will be returned into the bodies, and that would be during the publicising (of deeds). Their necks will be struck, then they will arrive to the Hellfire for ever and ever, and for ages and ages’’.[75]

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and ‘Al Jamaal’ –
‘One who has a need for him, let him fast on the day of Tuesday and the Wednesday and the Thursday. When it is the evening, donate with something before breaking the fast. When he has prayed Al-Isha the last on the night of Friday (Thursday) and is free from it, he should do Sajdah and say in his Sajdah: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ عَيْنِكَ الْمَاضِيَةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ دَيْنِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي-

فَمَنْ دَامَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقَهُ وَ قَضَى دَيْنَهُ.
The one who is constant upon that, Allah-azwj will Expand his sustenance upon him and Pay-off his debts’’.[79]
2- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ لِمَنْ صَامَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ قَبْلَ إِفْطَارِهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ
(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and ‘Al Jamaal’ –
‘And it is recommended for the one who fasts that he supplicates with this supplication before breaking his fast, seven times: –
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النُّورِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْكُرْسِيِّ الْوَاسِعِ وَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ وَ رَبَّ الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ وَ رَبَّ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ رَبَّ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ وَ رَبَّ الظِّلِّ وَ الْحَرُورِ وَ رَبَّ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ

I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Great Name, and by Noor of Your-azwj radiant Face, and by Your-azwj ancient Kingdom, surely You-azwj are Able upon all things! And by Your-azwj Name which the radiance of Your-azwj veils is shining with, and by Your-azwj Name which the former ones had been rectified with and the latter ones will be rectified with!

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Forgive our sins for us, and Fulfil our needs for us, and Suffice us of what is worrying us from matter of the world and the Hereafter, and Make east to be for us from our affairs and Affirm us upon Guidance of Your-azwj Rasool-saww Muhammad‑saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!
وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ كُلِّ غَمٍّ وَ هَمٍّ وَ ضِيقٍ فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ اجْعَلْ دُعَاءَنَا عِنْدَكَ فِي الْمَرْفُوعِ الْمُتَقَبَّلِ الْمَرْحُومِ وَ هَبْ لَنَا مَا وَهَبْتَ لِأَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَإِنَّا مُؤْمِنُونَ بِكَ مُنِيبُونَ إِلَيْكَ مُتَوَكِّلُونَ عَلَيْكَ وَ مَصِيرُنَا إِلَيْكَ
And Make relief and outlet to be for us from every sadness and worry, and Make our supplication in Your-azwj Presence, as the raised, the Accepted, the Mercied; and Gift to us what You-azwj have Granted to people from Your-azwj creatures obeying You-azwj, for I am a believer in You-azwj, penitent to You-azwj, reliant upon You-azwj, and our destination is to You‑azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْمَعْ لَنَا الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا الشَّرَّ كُلَّهُ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ تُعْطِي الْخَيْرَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَ تَصْرِفُهُ عَمَّنْ تَشَاءُ
O Allah-azwj! Gather for us the goodness, all of it, and Turn the evil away from us, all of it, surely You-azwj are the Affectionate, the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth. You-azwj Give the good to the one You-azwj so Desire to, and Turn it away from the one You-azwj so Desire to!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنَا مِنْهُ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا اللَّهُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

O most Generous of the ones asked, and O most Benevolent of the ones who give, and O most Merciful of the ones showing mercy! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Mercy my weakness, and lack of my means! Surely You-azwj are my trust, and my hope, and Confer upon me with the Paradise and Pardon me from the Hellfire, and Gather for us goodness of the world and the Hereafter by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[80]
3- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ مَنْ أَرَادَ حِفْظَ الْقُرْآنِ فَلْيُصَلِّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ يس وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ الدُّخَانَ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ الم تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ –
‘And the one who intends to memorise the Quran, let him pray four Cycles of Salat on the night of Friday, reciting in the first Cycle Surahs Al Fatiha and Yaseen, and in the second Al Hamd and Al Dukhan, and in the third Al Hamd and Al Sajdah, and in the fourth Al Hamd and Al Mulk.
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
When he is free from the Tashahhud, he should praise Allah-azwj and extoll upon Him-azwj, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww, and seek Forgiveness for the Momineen.
وَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
And he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Mercy me with neglecting the acts of disobedience for ever for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live, and Mercy me from encumbering what does not concern me, and Grace me goodly insight in what Satisfies You-azwj from me!
اللَّهُمَّ بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ بِجَلَالِكَ وَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ أَنْ تُلْزِمَ قَلْبِي بِحِفْظِ كِتَابِكَ كَمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي أَنْ أَتْلُوَهُ عَلَى النَّحْوِ الَّذِي يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
O Allah-azwj, Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majesty and the Benevolence and the Might which cannot be breached! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, by Your-azwj Majesty and by Noor of Your-azwj Face, to Necessitate my heart with memorising Your-azwj Book just as You-azwj have Taught me, and Grace me to recite it upon the manner which Satisfies You-azwj from me!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُنَوِّرَ بِكِتَابِكَ بَصَرِي وَ تُطْلِقَ بِهِ لِسَانِي وَ تُفَرِّجَ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ تَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ تَسْتَعْمِلَ بِهِ بَدَنِي وَ تُقَوِّيَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ تُعِينَنِي عَلَيْهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعِينُ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا يُوَفِّقُ لَهُ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
And I ask You-azwj to Irradiate my sight with Your-azwj Book, and Free my tongue with it, and Relieve my heart with it, and Expand my chest by it, and Utilise my body with it, and Strengthen me upon that and Assist me upon it, for there is no assistance upon the good apart from You-azwj, nor any harmonising for it except You-azwj!’
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ الِاسْتِكْثَارُ فِيهِ مِنْ بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ- يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ إِلَى آخِرِ نَهَارِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ أَهْلِكْ عَدُوَّهُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ-
And it is recommended to frequent with it from after Al-Asr Salat on the day of Thursday up to end of the day on the day of Friday, from the Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww. He should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Haste their-asws relief, and Destroy their-asws enemies from the Jinn and the humans, from the former ones and the latter ones!’
وَ إِنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ لَهُ فَضْلٌ كَثِيرٌ.
And if he says that one hundred times, for him would be a lot of Grace’’.[81]
4- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ سُورَةِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ الْكَهْفِ وَ الطَّوَاسِينِ الثَّلَاثِ وَ سَجْدَةَ وَ لُقْمَانَ وَ سُورَةِ ص وَ حم السَّجْدَةِ وَ حم الدُّخَانِ وَ سُورَةِ الْوَاقِعَةِ.

‘And it is recommended to recited during it from the Quran, from Surah(s) Banu Israeel, and Al Kahf, and Al Tawaseen the three, and Sajdah, and Luqman, and Surah Saad, and Ha Meem Sajdah, and Ha Meem Al Dukhan, and Surah Al Waqia’’.[82]
ثُمَّ قَالا وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ- اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَا شَيْءَ قَبْلَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْآخِرُ الَّذِي لَا تَهْلِكُ وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الَّذِي لَا تَمُوتُ وَ الْخَالِقُ الَّذِي لَا تَعْجِزُ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَصِيرُ الَّذِي لَا يَرْتَابُ وَ الصَّادِقُ الَّذِي لَا تَكْذِبُ وَ الْقَاهِرُ الَّذِي لَا يُغْلَبُ
Then they both said:
‘And it is recommended to supplicate with this supplication on the night of Friday, ‘O Allah‑azwj! You-azwj are the first so there is nothing before You-azwj, and You-azwj are the last Who will not be destroyed, and You-azwj are the Living Who will not be dying, and the Creator Who is not frustrated (unable), and You-azwj the All-Seeing Who is not suspicious, and the Truthful Who does not lie, and the Subduer Who is not overcome.

And there is no god except You-azwj the Truth Whom the times do not change, nor do the places contain You-azwj, neither does the sleep seize You-azwj nor drowsiness, nor does anything resemble You-azwj, and how can You-azwj not be like that and You-azwj are Creator of all things? There is no god except You-azwj! All things are to perish except Your-azwj Honourable Face, the most honourable of the faces, security for the fearful and shelter of the ones seeking shelter!
أَسْأَلُكَ وَ لَا أَسْأَلُ غَيْرَكَ وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَا أَرْغَبُ إِلَى غَيْرِكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَفْضَلِ الْمَسَائِلِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَنْجَحِهَا الَّتِي لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوكَ إِلَّا بِهَا أَنْتَ الْفَتَّاحُ النَّفَّاحُ ذُو الْخَيْرَاتِ مُقِيلُ الْعَثَرَاتِ كَاتِبُ الْحَسَنَاتِ مَاحِي السَّيِّئَاتِ رَافِعُ الدَّرَجَاتِ
I ask You-azwj and I do not ask other than You-azwj, and I am desirous to You-azwj and I am not desirous to other than You-azwj! I ask You-azwj for best of the requests, all of them, and their most profitable which is not befitting for the servant to be asking You-azwj except by it. You-azwj are the Decider! The Decider with the goodness, Reducer of the stumbles, Scribe of the good deeds, Obliterator of the evil deeds, Raiser of the ranks!
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ الْعُلْيَا وَ نِعَمِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى
I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful by Your-azwj most excellent Names, all of them, and the exalted Phrases, and Your-azwj bounties which cannot be counted!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَكْرَمِ أَسْمَائِكَ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَحَبِّهَا إِلَيْكَ وَ أَشْرَفِهَا عِنْدَكَ مَنْزِلَةً وَ أَقْرَبِهَا مِنْكَ وَسِيلَةً وَ أَسْرَعِهَا مِنْكَ إِجَابَةً وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْجَلِيلِ الْأَجَلِّ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ وَ تَرْضَى عَمَّنْ دَعَاكَ بِهِ وَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ دُعَاءَهُ
And I ask You-azwj by the Name most honourable to you-azwj, and the most beloved to You-azwj, and its noblest with You-azwj in status, and its closest from You-azwj of means, and its quickest from You-azwj in response, and by Your-azwj hidden treasured Name, the Majestic, the most Majestic, the Magnificent, the most Magnificent Which You-azwj Love and are Satisfied with from the one who supplicates to You-azwj with it, and his supplication is Answered for him.
وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ لَا تَحْرِمَ سَائِلَكَ وَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ لَمْ تُعَلِّمْهُ أَحَداً أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ
And there is a right upon You-azwj that You-azwj do not Deprive Your-azwj beggar, and (I ask) by every Name which is for You-azwj in the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Magnificent Criterion (Furqan), and by every Name which is for You-azwj having Taught anyone of Your-azwj creatures or did not Teach anyone, or You-azwj have Preferred with in Knowledge of the unseen in Your-azwj Possession.
وَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ دَعَاكَ بِهِ حَمَلَةُ عَرْشِكَ وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَ أَصْفِيَاؤُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِحَقِّ السَّائِلِينَ لَكَ وَ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْمُتَعَوِّذِينَ بِكَ وَ الْمُتَضَرِّعِينَ إِلَيْكَ
And (I ask) by every Name which was supplicated with by Bearers of the Throne, and Your-azwj Angels, and Your-azwj Elites from Your-azwj creatures, and by the right of the beggars for You‑azwj, and the ones desirous to You-azwj, and the ones seeking shelter with You-azwj, and the one beseeching to You-azwj!
أَدْعُوكَ يَا اللَّهُ دُعَاءَ مَنْ قَدِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهُ وَ عَظُمَ جُرْمُهُ وَ أَشْرَفَ عَلَى الْهَلَكَةِ وَ ضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتُهُ وَ مَنْ لَا يَثِقُ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْ عَمَلِهِ وَ لَا يَجِدُ لِفَاقَتِهِ سَادّاً غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا لِذَنْبِهِ غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ
I supplicate to You-azwj O Allah-azwj a supplication of the one whose destitution has intensified, and his crime is mighty and is overlooking upon the destruction, and his strength has weakened, and the one who cannot trust with anything from his deeds, nor can he find any blocker for his destitution apart from You-azwj, nor any forgiver for his sins apart from You-azwj.
فَقَدْ هَرَبْتُ مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مُسْتَنْكِفٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَكْبِرٍ عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ يَا أُنْسَ كُلِّ مُسْتَجِيرٍ يَا سَنَدَ كُلِّ فَقِيرٍ
I am fleeing from You-azwj to You-azwj without any defiance nor arrogance from worshipping You-azwj, O Comforter of ever one seeking shelter! O Support of every poor one!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ
I ask You-azwj by You-azwj! You-azwj are Allah-azwj the Affectionate, the Bestower! There is no god except You-azwj, Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majestic and the Benevolent, Knower of the unseen and the seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful!
أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَ أَنَا الْعَبْدُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَالِكُ وَ أَنَا الْمَمْلُوكُ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ وَ أَنَا الذَّلِيلُ وَ أَنْتَ الْغَنِيُّ وَ أَنَا الْفَقِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتُ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَاقِي وَ أَنَا الْفَانِي وَ أَنْتَ الْمُحْسِنُ وَ أَنَا الْمُسِيءُ
You-azwj are the Lord-azwj and I am the servant, and You-azwj are the Owner and I am the owned, and You-azwj are the Mighty and I am the humble, and You-azwj are the Rich and I am the poor, and You-azwj are the Living and I am the dead, and You-azwj are the remaining and I am the perishable, and You-azwj are the Good doer and I am the evil doer!
وَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ وَ أَنَا الْمُذْنِبُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّحِيمُ وَ أَنَا الْخَاطِي وَ أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَخْلُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْقَوِيُّ وَ أَنَا الضَّعِيفُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُعْطِي وَ أَنَا السَّائِلُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّازِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَرْزُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ أَحَقُّ مَنْ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَ اسْتَعَنْتُ بِهِ وَ رَجَوْتُهُ
And You-azwj are the Forgiver and I am the sinner, and You-azwj are the Merciful and I am the erroneous, and You-azwj are the Creator and I am the Created, and You-azwj are the Strong and I am the weak, and You-azwj are the Giver and I am the beggar, and You-azwj are the Sustainer and I am the sustained, and You-azwj are the most rightful of the ones I can be complaining to and be seeking assistance with and be hoping to!
إِلَهِي كَمْ مِنْ مُذْنِبٍ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لَهُ وَ كَمْ مِنْ مُسِيءٍ قَدْ تَجَاوَزْتَ عَنْهُ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي وَ عَافِنِي وَ افْتَحْ لِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ سُبُّوحٌ ذِكْرُكَ قُدُّوسٌ أَمْرُكَ نَافِذٌ قَضَاؤُكَ
My God-azwj! How many a sinner You-azwj have Forgiven for, and how many an evil doer You‑azwj have Overlooked from! So Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Forgive (sins) for me and Mercy me, and Pardon me, and Grant me well-being, and Open for me from Your-azwj Grace! Glorious is Your-azwj Zikr, Holy are Your-azwj Commands, Your-azwj Decrees are implemented!
يَسِّرْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا أَخَافُ عُسْرَهُ وَ فَرِّجْ لِي عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ مُؤْمِنَةٍ مَا أَخَافُ كَرْبَهُ وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَخَافُ ضَرُورَتَهُ وَ ادْرَأْ عَنِّي مَا أَخَافُ حُزُونَتَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ لِي وَ لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَا أَرْجُوهُ وَ آمُلُهُ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ.
Ease for me from my affairs what I am fearing of its difficulties, and Relieve from me and from my parents, and from every believing man and believing woman what I am fearing of its distress, and Suffice me of what I am fearing its necessity, and Stave off from me what I am fearing of its grief, and Ease for me and for every Momin what I am hoping and wishing for! There is no god except You-azwj! Glory be to You-azwj, I have been from the unjust ones!’’[83]
5- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي وَ تَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي وَ تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعْثِي وَ تَحْفَظُ بِهَا غَائِبِي وَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا شَاهِدِي وَ تُزَكِّي بِهَا عَمَلِي وَ تُلْهِمُنِي بِهَا رُشْدِي وَ تَرُدُّ بِهَا أُلْفَتِي وَ تَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا عَنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Balad’, and ‘Al Jamaal’, and ‘Al Ikhtiyar’ there is another supplication: –
‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for Mercy from Yourself-azwj Guiding my heart with it, and Gathering my affairs by it, and tidying my scruffiness by it, and guarding my absence by it, and rectifying my presence by it, and purify my deeds by it, and Inspire me my rightful guidance by it, and Restore my familiarity by it, and Protect me by it from all evil!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي إِيمَاناً صَادِقاً وَ يَقِيناً خَالِصاً وَ رَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Grant me sincere Eman, and pure conviction, and Mercy I can attain by it the nobility of Your-azwj Benevolence in the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْفَوْزَ فِي الْقَضَاءِ وَ مَنَازِلَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَ عَيْشَ السُّعَدَاءِ وَ النَّصْرَ عَلَى الْأَعْدَاءِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the success in the Decree, and status of the scholars, and life of the fortunate, and the Help against the enemies!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَنْزَلْتُ بِكَ حَاجَتِي وَ إِنْ ضَعُفَ عَمَلِي فَقَدِ افْتَقَرْتُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا قَاضِيَ الْأُمُورِ وَ يَا شَافِيَ الصُّدُورِ كَمَا تُجِيرُ بَيْنَ الْبُحُورِ أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ عَذَابِ السَّعِيرِ وَ مِنْ دَعْوَةِ الثُّبُورِ وَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الْقُبُورِ
O Allah-azwj! I have descended my deeds with You-azwj and even though my deeds are weak, for I am impoverished to your-azwj Mercy. Therefore, I ask You-azwj, O Decreer of the matters, and O Healer of the chests! Just as You-saww have Sheltered between the oceans, Shelter me from punishment of the blazing Hellfire, and from the calls of ruinations, and from Fitna of the graves!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا قَصُرَ عَنْهُ رَأْيِي وَ لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ نِيَّتِي وَ لَمْ تُحِطْ بِهِ مَسْأَلَتِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَعَدْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَإِنِّي أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ
O Allah-azwj! And whatever my view is deficient from, and my intention has not reached, and my request has not included it of goodness which You-azwj have Promised anyone of Your-azwj creatures, so I am desirous to You-azwj regarding it!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا ذَا الْحَبْلِ الشَّدِيدِ وَ الْأَمْرِ الرَّشِيدِ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْوَعِيدِ وَ الْجَنَّةَ يَوْمَ الْخُلُودِ مَعَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ الشُّهُودِ وَ الرُّكَّعِ السُّجُودِ الْمُوفِينَ بِالْعُهُودِ إِنَّكَ رَحِيمٌ وَدُودٌ وَ إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تُرِيدُ
O Allah-azwj! O with the strong rope, and the Guiding Command! I ask You-azwj for the security on the Promised Day, and the Paradise on the eternal day with the ones in proximity of the witnesses, and the Ruk’u and the Sajdah performer who had fulfilled the Covenants, surely You-azwj are Merciful, Cordial, and You-azwj Do whatever You-azwj Want!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا هَادِينَ مَهْدِيِّينَ غَيْرَ ضَالِّينَ وَ لَا مُضِلِّينَ سِلْماً لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ حَرْباً لِأَعْدَائِكَ نُحِبُّ لِحُبِّكَ التَّائِبِينَ وَ نُعَادِي لِعَدَاوَتِكَ مَنْ خَالَفَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make us guides, guided ones, not straying, submissive to Your-azwj friends, and battling to Your-azwj enemies, we should love for Your-azwj Love, and be inimical to Your-azwj Enmity of the ones opposing You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ وَ عَلَيْكَ الْإِجَابَةُ وَ هَذَا الْجُهْدُ وَ عَلَيْكَ التُّكْلَانُ
O Allah-azwj! This is the supplication, and upon You-azwj is the Responding, and this is the effort and upon You-azwj is the reliance!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً فِي قَلْبِي وَ نُوراً فِي قَبْرِي وَ نُوراً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ نُوراً مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ نُوراً مِنْ شِمَالِي وَ نُوراً مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ نُوراً مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ نُوراً فِي سَمْعِي وَ نُوراً فِي بَصَرِي وَ نُوراً فِي شَعْرِي وَ نُوراً فِي بَشَرِي وَ نُوراً فِي لَحْمِي وَ نُوراً فِي دَمِي وَ نُوراً فِي عِظَامِي
O Allah-azwj! Make for me Noor (radiance) in my heart, and Noor in my grave, and Noor in front of me, and Noor from behind me, and Noor on my left, and Noor from above me, and Noor from beneath me, and Noor in my hearing, and Noor in my sight, and Noor in my hair, and Noor in my skin, and Noor in my flesh, and Noor in my blood, and Noor in my bones!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَعْظِمْ لِيَ النُّورَ وَ أَعْطِنِي نُوراً وَ اجْعَلْ لِي نُوراً سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي ارْتَدَى بِالْعِزِّ وَ بَانَ بِهِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَبِسَ الْمَجْدَ وَ تَكَرَّمَ بِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَنْبَغِي التَّسْبِيحُ إِلَّا لَهُ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْفَضْلِ وَ النِّعَمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمَجْدِ وَ الْكَرَمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ.
O Allah-azwj, and Magnify the Noor for me, and Grant me Noor, and Make Noor for me! Glorious is Allah-azwj Who is Robed with the Mighty and Manifested by it; and Glorious is Allah‑azwj Who Wears the Glory and is Honoured with it! Glorious is the One the glorification is not appropriate except for Him-azwj! Glorious is the One with the Grace, and the bounties! Glorious is the One with the Glory, and the honour! Glorious is the One with the Majesty and the Honour!’’[84]

‘And it is recommended to supplicate on the night of Friday and the day of Friday, and the night of Arafaat and the day of Arafaat with this supplication: –
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَعَبَّأَ وَ تَهَيَّأَ وَ أَعَدَّ وَ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ جَائِزَتِهِ فَإِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ تَعْبِئَتِي وَ تَهْيِئَتِي وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ عَفْوِكَ وَ طَلَبَ نَائِلِكَ وَ جَائِزَتِكَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبِ الْيَوْمَ دُعَائِي
‘O Allah-azwj! One who prepares, and readies, and makes arrangements for delegating to a created being hope for his provision and his awards (up to him), O Lord-azwj, to You-azwj is my preparation, and my arrangements, and my getting ready hoping Your-azwj Pardon, and seeking Your-azwj bounties and Your-azwj Awards, so do not disappoint my supplication today!
يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا مَنْ لَا تخيب [يَخِيبُ] عَلَيْهِ سَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُهُ نَائِلٌ فَإِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ الْيَوْمَ ثِقَةً بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ عَمِلْتُهُ وَ لَا لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ أَتَيْتُكَ مُقِرّاً عَلَى نَفْسِي بِالْإِسَاءَةِ وَ الظُّلْمِ مُعْتَرِفاً بِأَنْ لَا حُجَّةَ لِي وَ لَا عُذْرَ أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو عَظِيمَ عَفْوِكَ الَّذِي عَلَوْتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْخَاطِئِينَ
O my Master-azwj! O One who does not disappoint one begging to him nor does giving reduce Him-azwj. I have not come to You-azwj today trusting with any righteous deeds I have done nor have I delegated to any created being hoping to him. I have come to You-azwj accepting upon myself with the evil deed and injustices, acknowledging with that there is no argument for me nor any excuse I can give You-azwj, hoping for Your-azwj mighty Pardon which You-azwj are Exalted with upon the sinners!
فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى عَظِيمِ الْجُرْمِ أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالرَّحْمَةِ فَيَا مَنْ رَحْمَتُهُ وَاسِعَةٌ وَ عَفْوُهُ عَظِيمٌ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ- لَا يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ إِلَّا حِلْمُكَ وَ لَا يُنْجِي مِنْ سَخَطِكَ إِلَّا التَّضَرُّعُ إِلَيْكَ
Their prolonged devotion upon the major crimes should not prevent You-azwj from Turning to them with the Mercy! O One Whose Mercy is vast, and His-azwj Pardon is magnificent, O Magnificent, O Magnificent, O Magnificent! Nothing can repel Your-azwj Wrath except Your-azwj Forbearance, nor rescue from Your-azwj Annoyance except the beseeching to You-azwj!
فَهَبْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي فَرَجاً بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي بِهَا تُحْيِي مَيِّتَ الْعِبَادِ وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي غَمّاً حَتَّى تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي وَ تُعَرِّفَنِي الْإِجَابَةَ فِي دُعَائِي وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْعَافِيَةِ
O my God-azwj! Grant relief to me with the Power by which You-azwj Revive the dead, and do not let sadness destroy me until You-azwj Respond to me and Introduce the Answer to me in my supplication, and Cause me to taste the food of well-being!
إِلَهِي مُنْتَهَى أَجَلِي وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْهُ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا تُمَكِّنْهُ مِنْ عُنُقِي
My God-azwj! (Up to) end of my term, do not let my enemy gloat with me, nor let him prevail upon me, nor Enable him on my neck!
يَا إِلَهِي إِنْ وَضَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَرْفَعُنِي وَ إِنْ رَفَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَضَعُنِي وَ إِنْ أَهْلَكْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَتَعَرَّضُ لَكَ فِي عَبْدِكَ أَوْ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي حُكْمِكَ ظُلْمٌ وَ لَا فِي نَقِمَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخَافُ الْفَوْتَ وَ إِنَّمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيفُ وَ قَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ يَا إِلَهِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً
O my God-azwj! If You-azwj were to Put me Down, then who is the one who can lift me, and if You‑azwj were to Raise me, then who is the one who can drop me? And if You-azwj were to Destroy me, then who is the one who can object to You-azwj regarding Your-azwj servant, or ask You-azwj about his affairs, and I have known, O my God-azwj, that there isn’t any injustice in Your-azwj Judgments nor any hastiness in Your-azwj Vengeance, and rather he does haste, one who fears the missing out, and rather he is needy to be unjust (in his haste) the weak, and You-azwj are Exalted from that, O my God-azwj, Lofty, Great!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ فَأَعِذْنِي وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ فَأَجِرْنِي وَ أَسْتَرْزِقُكَ فَارْزُقْنِي وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ فَاكْفِنِي وَ أَسْتَنْصِرُكَ عَلَى عَدُوِّي فَانْصُرْنِي وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ فَأَعِنِّي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ يَا إِلَهِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي آمِينَ آمِينَ آمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj, so Grant me refuge, and I seek shelter with You-azwj so Shelter me, and I seek Your-azwj sustenance so Sustain me, and I rely upon You-azwj so Suffice me, and I seek Your-azwj Help against my enemies, so Help me, and I seek Assistance with You‑azwj, so Assist me, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness O my God-azwj, so Forgive (my sins) for me! Ameen, Ameen, Ameen!’’[85]

‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Lord-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! You-azwj Created me and I am Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj maid in Your-azwj Grip, and my forelock is in Your Hand!
أَمْسَيْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَ وَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ بِعَمَلِي وَ أَبُوءُ بِذُنُوبِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ.
I have come to an evening, being upon Your-azwj Covenant and Your-azwj Promise as per my capacity. I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Satisfaction from evil of what I have done, admitting my deeds and admitting my sins, therefore Forgive my sins for me, surely no one forgives the sins except You-azwj!’’[86]
8- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُ، دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ- اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَخْشَاكَ حَتَّى كَأَنِّي أَرَاكَ وَ أَسْعِدْنِي بِتَقْوَاكَ وَ لَا تُشْقِنِي بِمَعَاصِيكَ وَ خِرْ لِي فِي قَضَائِكَ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي قَدَرِكَ حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ

‘Another supplication during the night of Friday: – O Allah-azwj! Make me fear You-azwj until it is as if I can see You-azwj, and Make me fortunate with Your-azwj (given) piety and do not let me be wretched by disobeying You-azwj, and Choose for me in Your-azwj Decree, and Bless for me in Your-azwj Pre-determination until I do not love hastening what You-azwj have Delayed, nor delaying what You-azwj have Hastened.
وَ اجْعَلْ غِنَايَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ مَتِّعْنِي بِسَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ اجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّي وَ انْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنِي وَ أَرِنِي فِيهِ قُدْرَتَكَ يَا رَبِّ وَ أَقِرَّ بِذَلِكَ عَيْنِي
And Make richness to be in my soul, and Cause me to enjoy with my hearing and my sight, and Make these two as the inheritance from me, and Help me against the one oppressing me, and Show me Your-azwj Power regarding him, O Lord-azwj, and Delight my eyes with that!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى هَوْلِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ آمِناً وَ زَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَ اكْفِنِي مَئُونَتِي وَ مَئُونَةَ عِيَالِي وَ مَئُونَةَ النَّاسِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Assist me upon horrors of the Day of Qiyamah, and Extract me from the world safely, and Admit me into the Paradise in safety, and get me married to the maiden Houries, and Suffice me with my provisions and provisions of my dependants, and provisions of the people, and Admit me among Your-azwj righteous servants by Your-azwj Mercy!
إِلَهِي إِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذَلِكَ أَنَا وَ إِنْ تَغْفِرْ لِي فَأَهْلٌ لِذَلِكَ أَنْتَ وَ كَيْفَ تُعَذِّبْنِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَ حُبُّكَ فِي قَلْبِي أَمَا وَ عِزَّتِكَ لَئِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بِي لَتَجْمَعَنَّ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمٍ طَالَ مَا عَادَيْتُهُمْ فِيكَ
My God-azwj! If You-azwj were to Punish me, then I am deserving of that, and if You-azwj Forgive (my sins) for me, then You-azwj are rightful for that, and how can You-azwj Punish me, O my Master-azwj while love for You-azwj is in my heart? But, by Your-azwj Might! If You-azwj were to do that with me (then) You-azwj will be Gathering between me and a people I have for long been an enemy with (them) for Your-azwj Sake!
اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الطَّاهِرِينَ ع ارْزُقْنَا صِدْقَ الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَدَاءَ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ الْمُحَافَظَةَ عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ
O Allah-azwj! By the right of Your-azwj Pure Friends-asws! Grace us the truthful narration, and fulfilling the entrustments, and the preservation of the Salat(s)!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا أَحَقُّ خَلْقِكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ ذَلِكَ بِنَا

O Allah-azwj! Deal with us by Your-azwj Mercy!’
اللَّهُمَّ ارْفَعْ ظَنِّي إِلَيْكَ صَاعِداً وَ لَا تُطْمِعَنَّ فِيَّ عَدُوّاً وَ لَا حَاسِداً وَ احْفَظْنِي قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ يَقْظَانَ وَ رَاقِداً
O Allah-azwj! Raise my thoughts high to You-azwj and do not let an enemy covet regarding me nor an envying one, and Protect me standing and sitting and riding.
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ اهْدِنِي سَبِيلَكَ الْأَقْوَمَ وَ قِنِي حَرَّ جَهَنَّمَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ حَرِيقَهَا الْمُضْرِمَةَ وَ احْطُطْ عَنِّي الْمَغْرَمَةَ وَ الْمَأْثَمَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ خِيَارِ الْعَالَمِ
O Allah-azwj! Forgive (sins) for me and Mercy me, and Guide me to Your-azwj Way the straightest, and Save me from the heat of Hell, O Allah-azwj, and its blazing flames, and Remove the debts away from me, and the sins, and Make me from the good ones of the world.
اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي مِمَّا لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لِي عَلَيْهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Mercy me from what there is no endurance for me with it nor is there any patience for me upon it, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[87]

‘And it is recommended to increase in a supplication of Al Witr (Salat) on the night of Friday – ‘O Allah-saww! This is a position of the destitute, the poor, a position of the one crying out for help, the seeker of shelter, a place of the one being destroyed, the drowning, a place of the trembling one, the fearful, a place of the one accepting his mistakes and acknowledging his sins and turning to his Lord-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ تَرَى مَكَانِي وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ تَلِي التَّدْبِيرَ وَ تَمْضِي الْمَقَادِيرَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ أَسَاءَ وَ اقْتَرَفَ وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj have Seen my place and nothing of my matters is hidden to You-azwj, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and I ask You-azwj because You-azwj are in Charge of the management and accomplishing the Pre-determinations, a request of the one having done wrong and accepts, and submits and acknowledges, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!
وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا مَضَى فِي عِلْمِكَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ شَهِدَتْ بِهِ حَفَظَتُكَ وَ حَفَظَةُ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ لَمْ يَغِبْ عَنْهُ عِلْمُكَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ فِيهِ الْبَلَاءَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ أَنْ تُجَاوِزَ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِي فِي أَصْحابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
And if You-azwj Forgive for me what has passed in Your-azwj Knowledge of my sins, and it has been witnessed Preserved by You-azwj and Recorded by Your-azwj Angels, and Your-azwj Knowledge wasn’t absent from it, the afflictions have been excellent in it, for You-azwj is the Praise, and if You-azwj cab Overlook my evil deeds (and Make me) among companions of the Paradise, being a true Promise which they had been Promised!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, Imams-asws of the Momineen!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهُ وَ ضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتُهُ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لَا يَجِدُ لِفَاقَتِهِ مَسَدّاً وَ لَا لِضَعْفِهِ مُقَوِّياً غَيْرَكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, asking of the one his destitution has intensified, and his strength has weakened, an asking of the one who cannot find any blocker for his destitution nor any strengthener for his weakness apart from You-azwj, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ بِالْيَقِينِ قَلْبِي وَ اقْبِضْ عَلَى الصِّدْقِ إِلَيْكَ لِسَانِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ كِتَابٍ سَبَقَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ أَنْ أَقُولَ لَكَ مَكْرُوهاً أَسْتَحِقُّ بِهِ عُقُوبَةَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Rectify my heart with the certainty, and Make my tongue to grab upon the sincerity to You-azwj; and I ask You-azwj for best of the Book which has preceded, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from its evil! Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and I seek shelter with You-azwj from saying any abhorrence to You-azwj deserving Punishment of the Hereafter by it.
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمَ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ إِنَابَةَ الْمُخْبِتِينَ وَ يَقِينَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ وَ تَوَكُّلَ الْمُوقِنِينَ بِكَ وَ خَوْفَ الْعَالِمِينَ وَ إِخْبَاتَ الْمُنِيبِينَ وَ شُكْرَ الصَّابِرِينَ وَ صَبْرَ الشَّاكِرِينَ وَ اللَّحَاقَ بِالْأَحْيَاءِ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ آمِينَ آمِينَ
And I ask You-azwj for knowledge of the fearful ones, and penitence of the humbling ones, and certainty of the ones relying upon You-azwj, and fear of the knowledgeable ones, and repentance of the penitent, and appreciation of the patient, and patience of the appreciative ones, and the joining with the living, the Sustained! Ameen, Ameen!
يَا أَوَّلَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ يَا آخِرَ الْآخِرِينَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا اللَّهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُغَيِّرُ النِّعَمَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُورِثُ النَّدَمَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَحْبِسُ الْقِسَمَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَقْطَعُ الرَّجَاءَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَحْبِسُ غَيْثَ السَّمَاءِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُظْلِمُ الْهَوَاءَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَكْشِفُ الْغِطَاءَ.
O First of the former ones, and O Last of the latter ones! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, O Allah‑azwj, O Merciful, O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Forgive for me the sins which change the bounties, and Forgive for me the sins which inherit the regret, and Forgive for me the sins which withhold the distribution, and Forgive for me the sins which cut off the hopes, and Forgive for me the sins which withhold downpours of the sky (sustenance), and Forgive for me the sins which darken the atmosphere, and Forgive for me the sins which remove the covering!’’[88]

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَكْثَرَ الْحَمْدِ عِنْدَ الرَّخَاءِ وَ أَجْمَلَ الصَّبْرِ عِنْدَ الْمُصِيبَةِ وَ أَفْضَلَ الشُّكْرِ عِنْدَ مَوْضِعِ الشَّكِّ وَ التَّسْلِيمَ عِنْدَ الشُّبُهَاتِ
And I ask You-azwj for my frequenting the praising during the prosperity, and beautiful patience during the difficulties, and best appreciation during the place of doubt, and the submitting during the suspicions!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْقُوَّةَ فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ الضَّعْفَ عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ الْهَرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْكَ وَ التَّقَرُّبَ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّ لِتَرْضَى وَ التَّحَرِّيَ لِكُلِّ مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي فِي إِسْخَاطِكَ وَ إِسْخَاطِ خَلْقِكَ الْتِمَاساً لِرِضَاكَ
And I ask You-azwj for the strength in obeying You-azwj and the weakness from disobeying You‑azwj, and the fleeing to You-azwj from You-azwj and the drawing closer to You-azwj Lord-azwj for You-azwj to be Satisfied, and the inquiring into all what Satisfies You-azwj with me in Your-azwj Dissatisfaction and dissatisfaction of Your-azwj creatures seeking to Satisfy You-azwj!
رَبِّ مَنْ أَرْجُوهُ إِذَا لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي وَ مَنْ يَعُودُ عَلَيَّ إِنْ رَفَضْتَنِي أَوْ مَنْ يَنْفَعُنِي عَفْوُهُ إِنْ عَاقَبْتَنِي أَوْ مَنْ آمُلُ عَطَايَاهُ إِنْ حَرَمْتَنِي أَوْ مَنْ يَمْلِكُ كَرَامَتِي إِنْ هنتني [أَهَنْتَنِي] أَوْ مَنْ يَضُرُّنِي هَوَانُهُ إِنْ أَكْرَمْتَنِي
Lord-azwj! Who can I hope to if You-azwj do not Mercy me, and who will console upon me if You‑azwj were to Reject me, or whose pardon will benefit me if You-azwj were to Punish me, or whose award can I wish for if You-azwj were to Deprive me, or who will control my honour if You-azwj were to Disgrace me, or who can harm me if You-azwj were to honour me?
رَبِّ مَا أَسْوَأَ فِعْلِي وَ أَقْبَحَ عَمَلِي وَ أَقْسَى قَلْبِي وَ أَطْوَلَ أَمَلِي وَ أَقْصَرَ أَجَلِي وَ أَجْرَأَنِي عَلَى عِصْيَانِ مَنْ خَلَقَنِي
Lord-azwj! How evil are my deeds, and how ugly is my work, and how cruel is my heart, and how long are my hopes, and how short is my lifespan, and how much is my audacity upon disobedience to the One-azwj Who Created me!
رَبِّ مَا أَحْسَنَ بَلَاءَكَ عِنْدِي وَ أَظْهَرَ نَعْمَاءَكَ عَلَيَّ كَثُرَتْ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ النِّعَمُ فَمَا أَحْصَاهَا وَ قَلَّ مِنِّيَ الشُّكْرُ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِيهِ فَبَطِرْتُ بِالنِّعَمِ وَ تَعَرَّضْتُ لِلنِّقَمِ وَ سَهَوْتُ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ وَ رَكِبْتُ الْجَهْلَ بَعْدَ الْعِلْمِ وَ جُرْتُ مِنَ الْعَدْلِ إِلَى الظُّلْمِ وَ جَاوَزْتُ الْبِرَّ إِلَى الْإِثْمِ وَ صِرْتُ إِلَى اللَّهْوِ مِنَ الْخَوْفِ وَ الْحُزْنِ
Lord-azwj! How excellent is Your-azwj affliction with me, and how apparent are Your-azwj bounties upon me! The bounties from You-azwj are abundant upon me from, so I cannot count these, and the thanking is scarce from me regarding what I have been in charge of. I enjoyed with the bounties and exposed myself to the Vengeance, and I omitted the Zikr and rode the ignorance after the knowledge, and flowed from the justice to the injustice, and I overlooked the righteousness to the sin, and I came to the vanities from the fear and the grief!
رَبِّ مَا أَصْغَرَ حَسَنَاتِي وَ أَقَلَّهَا فِي كَثْرَةِ ذُنُوبِي وَ أَعْظَمَهَا عَلَى قَدْرِ صِغَرِ خَلْقِي وَ ضَعْفِ عَمَلِي
Lord-azwj! How small are my good deeds and how few among my many sins and their largeness in comparison to the smallness of my physique and weakness of my deeds!
رَبِّ مَا أَطْوَلَ أَمَلِي فِي قِصَرِ أَجَلِي فِي بُعْدِ أَمَلِي وَ مَا أَقْبَحَ سَرِيرَتِي فِي عَلَانِيَتِي
O Lord-azwj! How long is my hope, how short is my life, how far away is my hope, and how ugly are my secrets compared to my openness!
رَبِّ لَا حُجَّةَ لِي إِنِ احْتَجَجْتُ وَ لَا عُذْرَ لِي إِذَا اعْتَذَرْتُ وَ لَا شُكْرَ عِنْدِي إِذَا أُبْلِيتُ وَ أُولِيتُ
Lord-azwj! There is no argument for me in an argumentation, and there is no excuse for me when I have to apologise, and there is no appreciation with me when I am Tried and Tested.
إِنْ لَمْ تُعِنِّي عَلَى شُكْرِ مَا أُولِيتُ وَ مَا أَخَفَّ مِيزَانِي غَداً إِنْ لَمْ تُرَجِّحْهُ وَ أَزَلَّ لِسَانِي إِنْ لَمْ تُثَبِّتْهُ وَ أَسْوَدَ وَجْهِي إِنْ لَمْ تُبَيِّضْهُ
If You-azwj don’t Assist me upon thanking for what I am in charge of, and how light will be my scale tomorrow if You-azwj don’t Mercy me, and how slippery is my tongue if You-azwj don’t Affirm it, and how dark would be my face if You-azwj don’t Brighten it!
رَبِّ كَيْفَ بِي بِذُنُوبِيَ الَّتِي سَلَفَتْ مِنِّي قَدْ هَدَّ لَهَا أَرْكَانِي رَبِّ كَيْفَ لِي بِطَلَبِ شَهَوَاتِ الدُّنْيَا أَوْ أَبْكِي عَلَى حَمِيمٍ فِيهَا وَ لَا أَبْكِي عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ تَشْتَدُّ حَسَرَاتِي لِعِصْيَانِي وَ تَفْرِيطِي
Lord-azwj! How can it be with me for my sin committed by me, which my own limbs have established! Lord-azwj? How can it be for me with seeking lustful desires of the word or crying upon an intimate one in it and not cry upon myself, and my regrets have intensified due to my disobedience and my excesses?
رَبِّ دَعَتْنِي دَوَاعِي الدُّنْيَا فَأَجَبْتُهَا سَرِيعاً وَ رَكَنْتُ إِلَيْهَا طَائِعاً وَ دَعَتْنِي دَوَاعِي الْآخِرَةِ فَتَثَبَّطْتُ عَنْهَا وَ أَبْطَأْتُ فِي الْإِجَابَةِ وَ الْمُسَارَعَةِ إِلَيْهَا كَمَا سَارَعْتُ إِلَى دَوَاعِي الدُّنْيَا وَ حُطَامِهَا الْهَامِدِ وَ نَسِيمِهَا الْبَائِدِ وَ سَرَابِهَا الذَّاهِبِ
O Lord-azwj! The worldly attractions called me, and I responded quickly, and I inclined toward them willingly. The attractions of the Hereafter called me, and I hesitated in response, and I delayed in striving for them, just as I rushed towards the attractions of the world with its fleeting debris, its vanishing breeze, and its fading mirage.
رَبِّ خَوَّفْتَنِي وَ شَوَّقْتَنِي وَ احْتَجَجْتَ عَلَيَّ وَ كَفَلْتَ بِرِزْقِي فَأَمِنْتُ خَوْفَكَ وَ تَثَبَّطْتُ عَنْ تَشْوِيقِكَ وَ لَمْ أَتَّكِلْ عَلَى ضَمَانِكَ وَ تَهَاوَنْتُ بِاحْتِجَاجِكَ
Lord-azwj! You-azwj Frightened me, and Enticed me, and Argued upon me, and Guaranteed my sustenance, so I felt safe from Your-azwj fear and was less eager from Your-azwj Encouragement (to do good) and did not rely upon Your-azwj Guarantee and was complacent with Your-azwj Arguments.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَمْنِي مِنْكَ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا خَوْفاً وَ حَوِّلْ تَثْبِيطِي شَوْقاً وَ تَهَاوُنِي بِحُجَّتِكَ فَرَقاً مِنْكَ ثُمَّ رَضِّنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي مِنْ رِزْقِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make Your-azwj Protection in this world for me a source of fear, and transform my reluctance into eagerness, and make Your-azwj Argument a means of lightening my burden, then make me content with what You-azwj have Apportioned for me from Your-azwj sustenance!
يَا كَرِيمُ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ رِضَاكَ عِنْدَ السَّخْطَةِ وَ الْفُرْجَةَ عِنْدَ الْكُرْبَةِ وَ النُّورَ عِنْدَ الظُّلْمَةِ وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ عِنْدَ شِدَّةِ الْغَفْلَةِ
O Benevolent! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Mighty Name for Your-azwj Satisfaction during the Annoyance, and the relief during the distress, and the light during the darkness, and the insight during the severity of heedlessness!
رَبِّ اجْعَلْ جُنَّتِي مِنَ الْخَطَايَا حَصِينَةً وَ دَرَجَاتِي فِي الْجِنَانِ رَفِيعَةً وَ أَعْمَالِي كُلَّهَا مُتَقَبَّلَةً وَ حَسَنَاتِي مُضَاعَفَةً زَاكِيَةً
Lord-azwj Make my shield fortified from the sins, and my ranks in the Paradise to be lofty, and all of my deeds to be acceptable, and my good deeds multiplied, purified!
أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفِتَنِ كُلِّهَا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا بَطَنَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ المَطْعَمِ وَ الْمَشْرَبِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَا أَعْلَمُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَشْتَرِيَ الْجَهْلَ بِالْعِلْمِ أَوِ الْجَفَاءَ بِالْحِلْمِ أَوِ الْجَوْرَ بِالْعَدْلِ أَوِ الْقَطِيعَةَ بِالْبِرِّ أَوِ الْجَزَعَ بِالصَّبْرِ أَوِ الضَّلَالَةَ بِالْهُدَى أَوِ الْكُفْرَ بِالْإِيمَانِ
I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the Fitna, all of it, whatever is apparent from it and whatever is hidden, and from evil of the foods and the drinks, and from evil of what I know of evil and what I don’t know, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from my buying the ignorance for the knowledge, or the disloyalty for the leniency, or the tyranny for the justice, or the cutting relationships for the righteousness, or the panic for the patience, or the straying for the guidance, or the Kufr for the Eman!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُنَالُ إِلَّا بِرِضَاكَ وَ الْخُرُوجَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ الدُّخُولَ فِي كُلِّ مَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ النَّجَاةَ مِنْ كُلِّ وَرْطَةٍ وَ الْمَخْرَجَ مِنْ كُلِّ كَبِيرَةٍ أَتَى بِهَا مِنِّي عَمْدٌ أَوْ زَلَّ بِهَا مِنِّي خَطَأٌ أَوْ خَطَرَ بِهَا خَطَرَاتُ الشَّيْطَانِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Mercy which cannot be attained except by Your-azwj Satisfaction, and the exiting from entirety of disobediences to You-azwj and the entering into all what Satisfies You-azwj, and the salvation from every dilemma, and the outlet from every major sins having been committed by me, or a mistake I had slipped with, or I had been trapped with by the traps of Satan-la!
أَسْأَلُكَ خَوْفاً تُوَقِّفُنِي بِهِ عَلَى حُدُودِ رِضَاكَ وَ تُشَعِّثُ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَهْوَةٍ خَطَرَ بِهَا هَوَايَ وَ اسْتَزَلَّ عِنْدَهَا رَأْيِي لِتَجَاوُزِ حَدِّ حَلَالِكَ
I ask You-azwj for a fear that keeps me within the boundaries of Your-azwj Satisfaction, and with which I can repel every desire that endangers my whims. My judgment falters in the face of these desires, so that I may not transgress the limits of Your-azwj Permissible(s)!
أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ الْأَخْذَ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا تَعْلَمُ وَ تَرْكَ سَيِّئِ كُلِّ مَا تَعْلَمُ أَوْ أُبْتَلَى مِنْ حَيْثُ أَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ
I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, to Take with the best of what You-azwj Know and Leave my worst of all what You-azwj Know, or to be afflicted from where I know and from where I do not know!
أَسْأَلُكَ السَّعَةَ فِي الرِّزْقِ وَ الزُّهْدَ فِي الْكَفَافِ وَ الْمَخْرَجَ بِالْبَيَانِ مِنْ كُلِّ شُبْهَةٍ وَ الصَّوَابَ فِي كُلِّ حُجَّةٍ وَ الصِّدْقَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمَوَاطِنِ وَ إِنْصَافَ النَّاسِ مِنْ نَفْسِي فِيمَا عَلَيَّ وَ فِي مَا لِي وَ التَّذَلُّلَ فِي إِعْطَاءِ النَّصَفِ مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَوَاطِنِ السَّخَطِ وَ الرِّضَا وَ تَرْكَ قَلِيلِ الْبَغْيِ وَ كَثِيرِهِ فِي الْقَوْلِ مِنِّي وَ الْفِعْلِ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ عَلَيْهَا لِكَيْ تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا
I ask You-azwj for the vastness in the sustenance, and the ascetism in the sufficient, and the outlet from every suspicion with the explanation, and the correctness in every argument, and the truthfulness in entirety of the places, and the fairness with the people from myself regarding what is against me and regarding what is for me, and the humility in giving the fairness from entire places of the anger and the pleasure, and leaving the immorality, its little and its more, in the words from me and the actions, and completeness of Your-azwj bounties in entirety of the things, and the thanking for You-azwj upon it so that You-azwj will be Satisfied and after the Satisfaction!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْخِيَرَةَ فِي كُلِّ مَا يَكُونُ فِيهِ الْخِيَرَةُ بِمَيْسُورِ الْأُمُورِ لَا بِمَعْسُورِهَا يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ:
I ask You-azwj for the choice in all what the choice can happen to be with ease of the matters nor their difficult ones, O Benevolent, O Benevolent!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَوْلَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَ عَمَلَهُمْ وَ نُورَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ صِدْقَهُمْ وَ نَجَاةَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ وَ ثَوَابَهُمْ وَ شُكْرَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ وَ نَصِيحَتَهُمْ وَ عَمَلَ الذَّاكِرِينَ وَ يَقِينَهُمْ وَ إِيمَانَ الْعُلَمَاءِ وَ فِقْهَهُمْ وَ تَعَبُّدَ الْخَاشِعِينَ وَ تَوَاضُعَهُمْ وَ حِلْمَ الْفُقَهَاءِ وَ سِيرَتَهُمْ وَ خَشْيَةَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ رَغْبَتَهُمْ وَ تَصْدِيقَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ تَوَكُّلَهُمْ وَ رَجَاءَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ وَ بِرَّهُمْ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ ثَوَابَ الشَّاكِرِينَ وَ مَنْزِلَةَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for Rewards of the thankful ones, and status of the ones of Proximity, and friendship of the Prophets-as!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَوْفَ الْعَامِلِينَ وَ عَمَلَ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ خُشُوعَ الْعَابِدِينَ لَكَ وَ يَقِينَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَ تَوَكُّلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for fear of the workers and work of the fearful, and fearfulness to You-azwj of the worshippers and conviction of the ones reliant upon You-azwj, and reliance of the Momineen with You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بِحَاجَتِي عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ وَ أَنْتَ لَهَا وَاسِعٌ غَيْرُ مُتَكَلِّفٍ وَ إِنَّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُحْفِيكَ سَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ نَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ قَوْلُ قَائِلٍ وَ أَنْتَ كَمَا تَقُولُ وَ فَوْقَ مَا نَقُولُ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are a Knower of my needs without having been informed, and You-azwj are Capacious for these without encumberment, and You-azwj are the One-azwj no beggar leaves empty-handed nor does a taker reduce You-azwj, nor can words of a speaker reach Your-azwj Praise, and You-azwj are just as what You-azwj Said and above what we say!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً وَ سِتْراً جَمِيلًا
O Allah-azwj! Make a near relief to be for me, and a mighty Recompense, and a beautiful curtain (for concealing my defects)!
اللَّهُمَّ هَدَأَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ سَكَنَتِ الْحَرَكَاتُ وَ خَلَا كُلُّ حَبِيبٍ بِحَبِيبِهِ وَ خَلَوْتُ بِكَ يَا إِلَهِي فَاجْعَلْ خَلْوَتِي مِنْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ الْعِتْقَ مِنَ النَّارِ.
O Allah-azwj! The sounds have calmed and the movements have become still, and every loving one has secluded with his beloved, and I have secluded with You-azwj O my God-azwj, therefore Make my seclusion with You-azwj tonight to be the liberation from the Fire!’’[89]
11- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَقُولَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ نَوَافِلِ الْفَجْرِ الْأَوَّلِ- يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ-
(The book) ‘Al-Mutahajjid’ –
‘And it is recommended to be saying after the two Cycles of the optional of Al-Fajr (Salat), the first on the day of Friday, one hundred times: ‘Glorious is my Lord-azwj the Magnificent and with His-azwj Praise! I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj my Lord-azwj and I repent to Him-azwj!’
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِدُعَاءِ الْمَظْلُومِ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- وَ هُوَ
‘And it is recommended as that he should supplicate with supplication of the oppressed at the grave of Abu Abdullah-asws (Al-Husayn-asws), and it is: –
اللَّهُمَ إِنِّي أَعْتَزُّ بِدِينِكَ وَ أُكْرَمُ بِهِدَايَتِكَ وَ فُلَانٌ يُذِلُّنِي بِشَرِّهِ وَ يُهِينُنِي بِأَذِيَّتِهِ وَ يَعِيبُنِي بِوَلَاءِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ يَبْهَتُنِي بِدَعْوَاهُ وَ قَدْ جِئْتُ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ ضَمَانِكَ الْإِجَابَةَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْدِنِي عَلَيْهِ السَّاعَةَ-
‘O Allah-azwj! I cherish Your-azwj religion and honour Your-azwj Guidance, and so and so is humiliating me with his evil and is degrading me with his harm, and he is faulting me with governance of those people, and he is accusing with his call, and I have come to the place of supplication and Your-azwj Guaranteed Response! O Allah-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Support me upon it right now!
ثُمَّ يَنْكَبُّ عَلَى الْقَبْرِ وَ يَقُولُ مَوْلَايَ إِمَامِي مَظْلُومٌ اسْتَعْدَى عَلَى ظَالِمِهِ النَّصْرَ النَّصْرَ- حَتَّى تَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ
Then devote upon the grave and say, ‘My Master-asws, my oppressed Imam-asws! I appeal for the help against his-asws oppressors, the help’ – until his breath is cut.
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَيْضاً أَنْ يَقُولَ عِنْدَ السَّحَرِ- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ هَبْ لِيَ الْغَدَاةَ رِضَاكَ وَ أَسْكِنْ قَلْبِي خَوْفَكَ وَ اقْطَعْهُ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ حَتَّى لَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَخَافُ إِلَّا إِيَّاكَ
And it is recommended also that he should say at the pre-dawn: ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Grant to me Your-azwj Satisfaction in the morning and Settled Your-azwj fear in my heart, and Cut is off from the ones besides You-azwj until I neither hope nor fear except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ هَبْ لِي ثَبَاتَ الْيَقِينِ وَ مَحْضَ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ شَرَفَ التَّوْحِيدِ وَ دَوَامَ الِاسْتِقَامَةِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الصَّبْرِ وَ الرِّضَا بِالْقَضَاءِ وَ الْقَدَرِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Grant to me the clothing of certainty, and pure sincerity, and noble Tawheed, and permanent straightness, and the resources of patience, and the satisfaction with the Decree and the Pre-determination!
يَا قَاضِيَ حَوَائِجِ السَّائِلِينَ يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي ضَمِيرِ الصَّامِتِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ اغْفِرْ ذَنْبِي وَ أَوْسِعْ رِزْقِي وَ اقْضِ حَوَائِجِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ إِخْوَانِي فِي دِينِي وَ أَهْلِي
O Fulfiller of needs of the beggars! O One-azwj Who Knows what is in conscience of the silent ones! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Answer my supplication, and Forgive my sins, and Expand my sustenance, and Fulfil my needs regarding myself and my brethren in my religion and my family members!
إِلَهِي طُمُوحُ الْآمَالِ قَدْ خَابَتْ إِلَّا لَدَيْكَ وَ مَعَاكِفُ الْهِمَمِ قَدْ تَعَطَّلَتْ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ مَذَاهِبُ الْعُقُولِ قَدْ سَمَتْ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ فَأَنْتَ الرَّجَاءُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَلْجَأُ
My God-azwj! The ambitions of hopes have been disappointed except to You-azwj, and the means of determination have been halted except to You-azwj, and the paths of intellects have only led to You-azwj! You-azwj are the hope and to You-azwj is the shelter.
يَا أَكْرَمَ مَقْصُودٍ وَ أَجْوَدَ مَسْئُولٍ هَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَفْسِي يَا مَلْجَأَ الْهَارِبِينَ بِأَثْقَالِ الذُّنُوبِ عَلَى ظَهْرِي- لَا أَجِدُ لِي إِلَيْكَ شَافِعاً سِوَى مَعْرِفَتِي بِأَنَّكَ أَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَجَاهُ الطَّالِبُونَ وَ أَمَّلَ مَا لَدَيْهِ الرَّاغِبُونَ
O most Benevolent of the ones sought, and O most Generous of the ones asked! I have fled to You-azwj with myself, O Shelter of the fleeing ones, with the weight of my sins upon my back. I cannot find any intercessor for me to You-azwj besides my recognition that You-azwj are the closest one the seekers can hope to and the desiring ones can wish for what is with You-azwj!
يَا مَنْ فَتَقَ الْعُقُولَ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ أَطْلَقَ الْأَلْسُنَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ جَعَلَ مَا امْتَنَّ بِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِي كِفَاءٍ لِتَأْدِيَةِ حَقِّهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى عَقْلِي سَبِيلًا وَ لَا لِلْبَاطِلِ عَلَى عَمَلِي دَلِيلًا
O One-azwj Who has split the intellects with His-azwj recognition, and Freed the tongues with His-azwj Praise, and Made what He-azwj has Conferred upon His-azwj servant as sufficient for fulfilling His-azwj right! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and do not Make a way to be for the Satan-la upon my intellect, nor any evidence to be for the falsehood upon my actions!’
فَإِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ فَقُلْ أَصْبَحْتُ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ ذِمَّةِ مَلَائِكَتِهِ وَ ذِمَمِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ ع وَ ذِمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ ذِمَمِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع-
When the dawn emerges, then say, ‘I have come to the morning being in Guarantee of Allah‑azwj and guarantee of His-azwj Angels, and guarantee of His-azwj Prophets-as and His-azwj Messengers-as, and guarantee of Muhammad-saww and guarantee of the successors-asws from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!
آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ ظَاهِرِهِمْ وَ بَاطِنِهِمْ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُمْ فِي عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ كَمُحَمَّدٍ ص.
I believe in the secrets of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their-asws announcements, and their-asws apparent and their-asws esoteric, and I testify they-asws are in the knowledge of Allah‑azwj and His-azwj obedience like Muhammad-saww!’’[90]
بيان: وَ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ بَعْدَ الدُّعَاءِ الْأَخِيرِ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى دَاوُدَ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَ صَبَاحاً وَ مَسَاءً ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ آمَنَهُ اللَّهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ.
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – And the Seyyid said after the last supplication, ‘We are reporting by our chain to Dawood Al-Razzy, from Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘The one who says it three times every morning and evening, Allah-azwj will Secure him from what he fears’’.
12- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ ع اعْلَمْ يَرْحَمُكَ [اللَّهُ] أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فَضَّلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ لَيْلَتَهُ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ فَضَاعَفَ فِيهِمَا الْحَسَنَاتِ لِعَامِلِهَا وَ السَّيِّئَاتِ عَلَى مُقْتَرِفِهَا إِعْظَاماً لَهُمَا
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – He-asws said: ‘Know, may Allah-azwj Mercy you, that Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Merited the day of Friday and its night over rest of the days (and the nights), so He-azwj Doubles the good deeds during it for its workers, and the evil deeds upon its perpetrators, in reverence to these.
فَإِذَا حَضَرَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقُلْ فِي لَيْلِهِ فِي آخِرِ السَّجْدَةِ مِنْ نَوَافِلِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ سُلْطَانِكَ الْقَدِيمِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ
When the day of Friday presents, then say during its night in the last Sajdah of the optional of the Maghrib Salat while you are in Sajdah, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Magnificent Name and Your-azwj ancient Authority to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and for Forgive my might sins for me!’
وَ اقْرَأْ فِي صِلَاتِكَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ سُورَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى
And recite in your Al-Isha the last Salat Surah Al Jummah in the first Cycle and in the second Surah Al-A’ala’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَيْضاً إِذَا جَاءَكَ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَ إِذَا قَرَأْتَ غَيْرَهُمَا أَجْزَأَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمِهَا وَ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ أَلْفَ كَرَّةٍ فَافْعَلْ فَإِنَّ الْفَضْلَ فِيهِ
And it is reported also, (Surah) Al-Munafiqoun, and when you recite others, it will suffice you, and frequent from the Salawaat upon Rasool-Allah-azwj during the night of Friday and its day, and if you are able to make that as a thousand time, then do so for the merit is in it.
وَ قَدْ يُرْوَى أَنَّهُ إِذَا كَانَ عَشِيَّةُ يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ نَزَلَتْ مَلَائِكَةٌ مَعَهَا أَقْلَامٌ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ صُحُفٌ مِنْ نُورٍ- لَا يَكْتُبُونَ إِلَّا الصَّلَوَاتِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص إِلَى آخِرِ النَّهَارِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
And it is reported that when it was evening on the day of Thursday, the Angels descend having pens of Noor (light) with them and books of Noor. They do not write except the Salawaat(s) upon Rasool-Allah-saww up to end of the day on the day of Friday’’.[91]
13- عُدَّةُ الدَّاعِي، رُوِيَ يَقْرَأُ فِي الثُّلُثِ الْأَخِيرِ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ سُورَةَ الْقَدْرِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِمَا يُرِيدُ.
(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ –
‘It has been reported he should recite in the last third of the night of Friday Surah Al-Qadr fifteen (15) times, then he should supplicate with whatever he wants to’’.[92]
14- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ نُوحٍ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ سَجْدَةٍ مِنَ النَّافِلَةِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ إِنْ قَالَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ انْصَرَفَ وَ قَدْ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ayoub Bin Nuh, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who says in the last Sajdah of the option after Al-Maghrib (Salat) on the night of Friday, and even if he says during every night, it is best – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Honourable Face and Your-azwj Magnificent Name to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and for Forgive my mighty sins for me’ – seven times, will leave and Allah-azwj would have Forgiven (these sin) for him’’.[93]
قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا كَانَتْ عَشِيَّةُ الْخَمِيسِ وَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ نَزَلَتْ مَلَائِكَةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ مَعَهُمْ أَقْلَامُ الذَّهَبِ وَ صُحُفُ الْفِضَّةِ- لَا يَكْتُبُونَ عَشِيَّةَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ إِلَّا الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘And Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘When it was evening of the Thursday and night of Friday, the Angels descend from the sky having pens of gold with them and books of silver. They do not write in the evening of Thursday and the night of Friday and the day of Friday up to setting of the sun except the Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny‑asws’’.[94]
كِتَابُ الْعَرُوسِ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَتْ إِلَخْ.
(The book) ‘Kitab Al Arous’ –
‘By his chain from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: the same as (above)‘When it was’ – etc.’’[95]
أَقُولُ سَيَأْتِي مُسْنَداً فِي كِتَابِ الْقُرْآنِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ الْقَائِمَ ع فَيَكُونَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘I shall come with a chain of attribution in ‘Kitab Al-Quran’ from Al-Sadiq‑asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Bani Israeel during every night of Friday will not die until he comes across Al-Qaim-ajfj, so he will be from his-ajfj companions’’.[96]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الطَّوَاسِينِ الثَّلَاثِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ كَانَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ فِي جِوَارِ اللَّهِ وَ كَنَفِهِ وَ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا بُؤْسٌ أَبَداً وَ أُعْطِيَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَتَّى يَرْضَى وَ فَوْقَ رِضَاهُ وَ زَوَّجَهُ اللَّهُ مِائَةَ زَوْجَةٍ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ.
And from him-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surahs ‘Al-Tawaseen’ (Surahs Al-Shoara, Al-Naml, Al-Qasas) the three during the night of Friday would be from the friends of Allah-azwj, and in the neighbourhoods of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Protection, and no evil will afflict him in the world, ever, and he would be given in the Hereafter from the Paradise until he is satisfied, and above his satisfaction, and Allah-azwj will get him married to one hundred wives from the maiden Houries’’.[97]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ السَّجْدَةِ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ لَمْ يُحَاسِبْهُ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ وَ كَانَ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ص.
And from him-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Al Sajdah during a night of Friday, Allah‑azwj will Give him his book (register of deeds) in his right hand and will not Reckon him with what had happened from him, and he would be from the friends of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his Household’’.[98]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ ص فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ أُعْطِيَ مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مَا لَمْ يُعْطَ أَحَداً مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا نَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ أَوْ مَلَكٌ مُقَرَّبٌ وَ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ كُلَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ حَتَّى خَادِمَهُ الَّذِي يَخْدُمُهُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي حَدِّ عِيَالِهِ وَ لَا فِي حَدِّ مَنْ يَشْفَعُ فِيهِ.
And from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Saad during a night of Friday will be Given from goodness of the world and the Hereafter for what no one from the people had been Given except a Messenger Prophet-as or an Angel of Proximity, and Allah-azwj will Admit him into the Paradise and every one of his family members he loves, to the extent of his servant who had served him, and even though he does not happen to be within limits of his dependants, nor within limits of the one he can intercede for’’.[99]
وَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ أَوْ كُلَّ يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ سُورَةَ الْأَحْقَافِ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ اللَّهُ بِرَوْعَةٍ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ آمَنَهُ مِنْ فَزَعِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Al Ahqaf during every night or during every day of Friday, Allah-azwj will not Afflict him with sudden fright in the life of the world, and Secure him from panic on the Day of Qiyamah, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires’’.[100]
وَ عَنْهُ ع مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةِ جُمُعَةٍ الْوَاقِعَةَ أَحَبَّهُ اللَّهُ وَ حَبَّبَهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ لَمْ يَرَ فِي الدُّنْيَا بُؤْساً أَبَداً وَ لَا فَقْراً وَ لَا فَاقَةً وَ لَا آفَةً مِنْ آفَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ كَانَ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ.
And from him-asws: ‘One who recites (Surah) Al Waqia during every night of Friday, Allah-azwj will Love him and Cause him to be beloved to all the people, and he will not see evil in the world, ever, nor poverty, nor destitution, nor disability from disabilities of the world, and he would be from the friends of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws’’.[101]

The book ‘Taweel Al Ayaat Al Bahira’ – copying from the book of Muhammad Bin Al Abbas Bin Mahiyar, from Humeyd Bin Ziyad, from Abdullah Bin Ahmad, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ibrahim Bin Abdul Hameed, from Zayd Al Shahaam who said,
‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah-asws on the night of Friday. He-asws said: ‘Recite!’ I recited. Then he-asws said: ‘Recite!’ I recited. Then he-asws said to me: ‘O Shahham! Recite, for it is a night of the Quran!’
فَقَرَأْتُ حَتَّى بَلَغْتُ يَوْمَ لا يُغْنِي مَوْلًى عَنْ مَوْلًى شَيْئاً وَ لا هُمْ يُنْصَرُونَ قَالَ هُمْ
I recited until I reached: A Day, neither will a friend avail anything from a friend, nor would they be helped [44:41]. He-asws said: ‘They (adversaries)!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَّا مَنْ رَحِمَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘Except one Allah Mercies [44:42]?’
قَالَ نَحْنُ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ وَ نَحْنُ الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ اسْتَثْنَى اللَّهُ وَ إِنَّا وَ اللَّهِ نُغْنِي عَنْهُمْ.
He-asws said: ‘We-asws are the people, those whom Allah-azwj has Mercied, and we-asws are the people, those Allah-azwj has Excluded, and by Allah-azwj we-asws are needless of them!’’[102]
16- كِتَابُ الْعَرُوسِ، لِلشَّيْخِ الْفَقِيهِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْقُمِّيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلْجُمُعَةِ لَيْلَتَيْنِ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُقْرَأَ فِي لَيْلَةِ السَّبْتِ مِثْلُ مَا يُقْرَأُ فِي عَشِيَّةِ الْخَمِيسِ- لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

And from him, by his chain from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany who said,
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Recited on the night of Friday during Al-Maghrib (Salat) with Surah Al Jummah and Al Tawheed, and recite Salat Al Atma (Al Isha) with Surah Al Jummah and Al A’ala’’.[104]

And from him, by his chain from Abdullah Bin Sinan,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who prays Al-Maghrib (Salat) on the night of Friday and four Cycles after it, and says in the Sajdah of the optional (Salat), and if he were to do so every night it would be better: –

‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Benevolent Face and Your-azwj Magnificent Name to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Forgive my mighty sins for me’ – seven times, will leave and he would have been Forgiven’’.[108]

And from him, by his chain from Abd Salih (7th Imam-asws) having said: ‘One who prays Al-Maghrib Salat on the night of Friday and four Cycles after it, and does not talk until he prays ten Cycles, reciting in each Cycle (Surahs) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed, would equate to ten liberation (of slaves)’’.[109]
قَالَ الشَّيْخُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ جَاءَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثُ هَكَذَا وَ الَّذِي هُوَ أَفْضَلُ مِنْهُ هُوَ أَنْ يَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يُصَلِّيَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ وَ يُؤَخِّرَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْعَتَمَةِ مِنْ جُلُوسٍ إِلَى أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ رَكَعَاتِ الْمَغْرِبِ لِيَكُونَ قَدْ خُتِمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ بِوَتْرِ اللَّيْلِ.
The Sheykh Ja’far Bin Ahmad said,
‘This Hadeeth has come like this – ‘And that which is better than it is that he should gather between Al-Maghrib and Al Isha the last on the night of Friday and pray four Cycles after Al Atma (Al Isha), and delay the two Cycles, those after Al Atman from sitting, until he has prayed the Cycles of Al-Maghrib, he would have ended the Salat with Witr (Salat) of the night’’.[110]

He said, ‘And if it is not easy for him to recite this supplication upon his Witr (Salat), let him supplicate with it after it. He mentioned what he should be supplicating with after Al-Witr (Salat) on the day of Friday from a report by Al-Karajaky. He said, ‘When you are free from your Witr (Salat), then glorify the glorification which its mention has preceded, and say after Al-Witr (Salat): –
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ لَكَ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ تُحْيِي وَ تُمِيتُ وَ تُمِيتُ وَ تُحْيِي وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ

بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ- تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهارِ وَ تُولِجُ النَّهارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ تَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ
In Your Hand is the good; surely, You are Able upon everything [3:26] You Insert the night into the day and You Insert the day into the night, and You Extract the living from the dead and You Extract the dead from the living, and You Give sustenance to whomsoever You Desire to without measure [3:27].
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا قَدَّمْنَا وَ مَا أَخَّرْنَا وَ مَا أَسْرَرْنَا وَ مَا أَعْلَنَّا وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنَّا وَ بَلِّغْنَا بِهِ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ آمَالَنَا وَ اقْضِ كُلَّ حَاجَةٍ هِيَ لَنَا بِأَيْسَرِ التَيْسِيرِ وَ أَسْهَلِ التَّسْهِيلِ وَ أَتَمِّ عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَحْمَدِ عَاقِبَةٍ

Then you should say, ‘Glory be to You-azwj with the Kingdom and the Domains! Glorious is the One with the Kingdom, the Holy!’, three times for there is mighty merit in that.
ذَكَرَ الدُّعَاءَ بَعْدَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ- سُبْحانَ الَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْواجَ كُلَّها مِمَّا تُنْبِتُ الْأَرْضُ وَ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ مِمَّا لا يَعْلَمُونَ-
He mentioned the supplication after two Cycles of Al-Fajr (Salat) on the night of Friday: – ‘Glory be to Him Who Created the pairs of all things, from what the earth grows, and from their own selves, and from what they do not know [36:36].
فَسُبْحانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ- وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَشِيًّا وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ-
Therefore, Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17] Therefore Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17].

He is Allah. There is no god except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22] He is Allah. There is no god except He; the King, the Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian, the Mighty, the Supreme, the One of every Greatness. Glorious is Allah from what they are associating [59:23]

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon the one whom You-azwj Saved us from the straying through him-saww and Taught us upon his-saww hands after the ignorance, our Chief Muhammad-saww Your-azwj Rasool-saww with the delegation and the evidence, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household, the Pure, with the governance and the justice!
رَبَّنا لا تُؤاخِذْنا إِنْ نَسِينا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنا رَبَّنا وَ لا تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْنا إِصْراً كَما حَمَلْتَهُ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِنا رَبَّنا وَ لا تُحَمِّلْنا ما لا طاقَةَ لَنا بِهِ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ ارْحَمْنا أَنْتَ مَوْلانا فَانْصُرْنا عَلَى الْقَوْمِ الْكافِرِينَ.
‘Our Lord! Do not Seize us if we forget or we make a mistake. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us a burden like what You Loaded upon those from before us. Our Lord! And do not Load upon us what we have no strength for us with it; and Pardon (our sins) for us and have Mercy on us. You are our Master, therefore Help us against the Kafir people’. [2:286]’’.[128]

وَ يُسَبِّحُ عَقِيبَهَا فَيَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزِّ الشَّامِخِ الْمُنِيفِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْجَلَالِ الْبَاذِخِ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ الْفَاخِرِ الْقَدِيمِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْبَهْجَةَ وَ الْجَمَالَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ تَرَدَّى بِالنُّورِ وَ الْوَقَارِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَرَى أَثَرَ النَّمْلِ فِي الصَّفَا سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَرَى وَقْعَ الطَّيْرِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا وَ لَا هَكَذَا غَيْرُهُ
And in the morning as a follow-up he should say, ‘Glorious is the One with the Lofty Might, the Sublime! Glorious is the One with the Imposing Majesty, the Magnificent! Glorious is the One with the Pride-worthy Kingdom, the Ancient! Glorious is the One Who Wears the Glory and the Beauty! Glorious is the One who is Robed by the Noor and the Dignity! Glorious is the One Seen tracks of the ants in the solid rock! Glorious is the One Who Sees the occurrence of the bird in the air! Glorious is the One Who is like this and none other is like this!’
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِهِمْ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع أَنْ يَدْعُوَ بِهِ الطَّيْرَ فَأَجَابَتْهُ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي قُلْتَ لِلنَّارِ كُونِي بَرْداً وَ سَلاماً عَلى إِبْراهِيمَ فَكَانَتْ
Then he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj!

وَ بِحَقِّ أَحَبِّ أَسْمَائِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَشْرَفِهَا وَ أَعْظَمِهَا إِجَابَةً وَ أَنْجَحِهَا طَلِبَةً وَ بِمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ مُسْتَحِقُّهُ وَ مُسْتَوْجِبُهُ

صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِهَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ هِيَ صَلَاةُ حِفْظِ الْقُرْآنِ رَوَاهَا ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ فَيَنْفَعُكَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِهِنَّ وَ يَنْتَفِعُ بِهِنَّ مَنْ عَلَّمَهُنَّ وَ يَثْبُتُ مَا تَعَلَّمْتَهُ فِي صَدْرِكَ

I-asws said: ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقُمْ فِي الثُّلُثِ الثَّالِثِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ فَقَبْلَ ذَلِكَ فَصَلِّ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنْهُنَّ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ يس وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ تَنْزِيلُ السَّجْدَةَ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ حم الدُّخَانَ وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ
He-saww said: ‘When it is the night of Friday, stand in the last third of the night.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ وَ سَلَّمْتَ فَاحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ أَثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَيَّ بِأَحْسَنِ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِتَرْكِ الْمَعَاصِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ طَلَبَ مَا لَا يَعْنِينِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي
When you are free from the Tashahhud and have performed Salaam, then praise Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and extol upon Him-azwj and send Salawaat upon me-saww with excellent Salawaat, then seek Forgiveness for the Momineen, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Mercy me with my neglecting the disobedience for ever for as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain, and Mercy me from my encumbering seeking what does not concern me, and Grace me goodly consideration in what Satisfies You-azwj from me!

O Allah-azwj! Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and the Might which cannot be breached! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, by Your Majesty and Noor of Your-azwj Face to Necessitate my heart to memorise Your-azwj Book Just as You-azwj have Taught it, and Grace me to be reciting it upon the approximation which Satisfies You-azwj from me!

افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ثَلَاثَ جُمَعٍ أَوْ خَمْساً أَوْ سَبْعاً.
Do that, O Abu Al-Hassan-asws for three Fridays, or five, or seven!’’[130]

Up to his-asws words: My sight, and Free my tongue, and Relived by it my heart, and Expand my chest by it, and Utilise my body with it, and Strengthen me upon that and Assist me upon it, for no one Assists upon the good apart from You-azwj, nor Inclines except You-azwj’ – up to end of the supplication’’.[131]

When you raise your head from the Ruk’u recite: And when My servants ask you about Me, I am near; I Answer the supplication of the suppliant when he supplicates to Me; so let them answer to Me and let them believe in me, perhaps they would be rightly Guided [2:186], repeating its mention one hundred times.
وَ تَقْرَأُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّتَيْنِ وَ يس مَرَّةً وَ تَقْنُتُ وَ تَرْكَعُ وَ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَقْرَأُ الْمُقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ

And you should recite in the fourth Cycle (Surahs) Al Hamd four times, and Yaseen once, and recite after the Ruk’u, ‘Lord-azwj! ‘I am touched by the harm and You are the most Merciful of the merciful ones’ [21:83].
فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ سَجَدْتَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرْتَ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقْرَأُ إِنَّما أَمْرُهُ إِذا أَرادَ شَيْئاً أَنْ يَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ وَ تَدْعُو بِمَا شِئْتَ

يُسْتَجَابُ لَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: صَلَاةُ الْحَاجَةِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ لَيْلَةِ عِيدِ الْأَضْحَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ إِلَى إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ وَ تُكَرِّرُ ذَلِكَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تُتِمُّ الْحَمْدَ
It is recommended for you, if Allah-azwj Exalted so Desires, Salat of the need during the night of Friday and night of Eid Al Azha of two Cycles, reciting Opening of the Book (Surah Al Fatiha) up to: (It is) You we worship and You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5], repeating that one hundred times, and complete (Surah) Al Hamd.

Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87] So We Answered for him and Delivered him from the grief, and like that do We Deliver the Momineen [21:88].
وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبادِ- فَوَقاهُ اللَّهُ سَيِّئاتِ ما مَكَرُوا وَ حاقَ بِآلِ فِرْعَوْنَ سُوءُ الْعَذابِ

فَقِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا ثَوَابُ هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ
It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! What is the Reward of these two Cycles (of Salat)?’
قَالَ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ جَمِيعَ أُمَّتِي لَوْ دَعَا لَهُمْ هَذَا الْمُصَلِّي بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ بِهَذَا الِاسْتِغْفَارِ لَأَخَذَ لَهُمْ مِنَ اللَّهِ الْجَنَّةَ بِشَفَاعَتِهِ
He-saww said: ‘By the One Who Send me-saww with the truth as a Prophet-saww! Indeed! This praying one, even if he were to supplicate for entirety of my-saww community with this Salat and with this seeking of Forgiveness, he will take the Paradise for them from Allah-azwj by his intercession!
فَيُعْطِيهِ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ قَرَأَ فِي هَذَا الِاسْتِغْفَارِ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ دُوراً فِي كُلِّ دَارٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ قُصُورٌ فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ خَزَائِنُ فِي كُلِّ خَزِينَةٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ أَسِرَّةٌ فِي كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ فُرُشٌ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ فَرْشٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَسَائِدُ
Allah-azwj would Give him for every letter he had recited in seeking this Forgiveness, houses the number of stars of the sky, in every house being castles the number of stars of the sky, in every castle being treasuries the number of stars of the sky, in each treasury being thrones of the number of stars of the sky, in every throne being beds the number of stars of the sky, and upon every bed being pillows of the number of stars of the sky!
وَ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ جَوَارٍ لِكُلِّ جَارِيَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَصَائِفُ وَ وِلْدَانٌ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ صَحَائِفُ فِي كُلِّ صَحِيفَةٍ بِعَدَدِ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ أَلْوَانُ الطَّعَامِ- لَا يُشْبِهُ رِيحُهُ وَ لَا طَعْمُهُ بَعْضُهُ بَعْضاً وَ يُعْطِي اللَّهُ كُلَّ هَذَا الثَّوَابِ لِمَنْ صَلَّى هَاتَيْنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ

The stars of the sky are the colours of the food – its smell and taste do not resemble each other, and God will give all of this reward to whoever prays these two rak’ahs. And girls the number of stars of the sky, for every girl from these butlers the number of stars of the sky and servants in every room the number of stars of the sky being trays, in each tray being variety of the foods the number of stars of the sky, neither resembling each other neither in aroma nor taste, and Allah-azwj will Give all this Reward for the one who prays these two Cycles’.
صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِهَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ هِيَ صَلَاةُ الْحَاجَةِ لِأَمْرِ الْخَوْفِ تَصُومُ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ تُصَلِّي اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَقْرَأُ فِيهِنَّ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
Another Salat for this night, and it is Salat for the needs for the matter of fear – You should fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and pray twelve Cycles Salat reciting in these in each Cycle, (Surahs) Al Hamd once, and Al Tawheed ten times.
فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ يَا سَابِقَ الْفَوْتِ وَ يَا سَامِعَ الصَّوْتِ وَ يَا مُحْيِيَ الْعِظَامِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ هِيَ رَمِيمٌ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ تُعَجِّلَ لِيَ الْفَرَجَ مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
When you have prayed four Cycles, you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! O Preceder to every loss (Whom nothing escapes), and O Hearer of the voice, and O Reviver of the bones after the death when they are ash! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant, and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and People-asws of his-saww Household, the pure, and Hasten the relief for me from what (predicament) I am in, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[132]
30- مُهَجُ الدَّعَوَاتِ، رَأَيْتُ فِي كِتَابِ كُنُوزِ النَّجَاحِ تَأْلِيفِ الْفَقِيهِ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الطَّبْرِسِيِّ ره عَنْ مَوْلَانَا الْحُجَّةِ عَجَّلَ اللَّهُ فَرَجَهُ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ رَوَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الدَّرْبِيِّ عَنْ خَزَامَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَزَوْفَرِيِّ قَالَ:
(The book) ‘Muhaj Al Dawaat’ – I was in the book ‘Kunouz Al Najah’ compiled by the jurist Abu Ali Al Fazl Bin Al-Hassan Al Tabarsee,
‘From our Master Al-Hujjah-ajfj, may Allah-azwj Hasten his-ajfj relief what its wording it this – ‘It is reported by Ahmad Bin Al-Dary, from Khazamah, from Abu Abdullah Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Al-Bazoufary who said,
خَرَجَ عَنِ النَّاحِيَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى حَاجَةٌ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ نِصْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَأْتِي مُصَلَّاهُ وَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ يُكَرِّرُهَا مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يُتَمِّمُ فِي الْمِائَةِ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ وَ يَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ التَّوْحِيدِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ يُسَبِّحُ فِيهِمَا سَبْعَةً سَبْعَةً
‘It emerged from the Holy corner: ‘One who has a need to Allah-azwj the Exalted, let him bathe on the night of Friday after midnight and come to his prayer mat and pray two Cycles reciting in the first Cycle (Surah) Al Hamd. When he reaches: (It is) You we worship and You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5], repeating it one hundred, and during the one hundredth he should complete to end of the Surah, and he should recite (Surah) Al Tawheed once and glorify in these seven (times) seven (times).
وَ يُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَةَ الثَّانِيَةَ عَلَى هَيْئَةِ الْأُولَى وَ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يَقْضِي حَاجَتَهُ الْبَتَّةَ كَائِناً مَا كَانَ إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ فِي قَطِيعَةِ رَحِمٍ وَ الدُّعَاءُ
And he should pray the second Cycle upon the appearance of the first and he should supplicate with this supplication, for Allah-azwj the Exalted will Fulfil his need definitely, whatever may happen, except he happens to be in cutting the kinship, and the supplication is: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ أَطَعْتُكَ فَالْمَحْمَدَةُ لَكَ وَ إِنْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَالْحُجَّةُ لَكَ مِنْكَ الرَّوْحُ وَ مِنْكَ الْفَرَجُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ أَنْعَمَ وَ شَكَرَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ قَدَرَ وَ غَفَرَ
‘O Allah-azwj! If I obey You-azwj, the Praise is for You-azwj, and if I disobey You-azwj, the argument is for You-azwj! From You-azwj is the comfort, and from You-azwj is the relief! Glorious is One Who Favours and Thanks! Glorious is the One who is Powerful and Forgives!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَإِنِّي قَدْ أَطَعْتُكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْأَشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ وَ هُوَ الْإِيمَانُ بِكَ لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ لَكَ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ أَدْعُ لَكَ شَرِيكاً مَنّاً مِنْكَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ لَا مَنّاً مِنِّي بِهِ عَلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! Even though I have disobeyed You-azwj, surely I have obeyed You-azwj in the things most Beloved to You-azwj, and it is the Eman with You-azwj. I did not take any son being for You‑azwj and did not claim there being an associate for You-azwj, being a Conferment from You‑azwj with upon me not as a conferment from me with upon You-azwj!
وَ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ يَا إِلَهِي عَلَى غَيْرِ وَجْهِ الْمُكَابَرَةِ وَ لَا الْخُرُوجِ عَنْ عُبُودِيَّتِكَ وَ لَا الْجُحُودِ لِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ وَ لَكِنْ أَطَعْتُ هَوَايَ وَ أَزَلَّنِي الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيَّ وَ الْبَيَانُ فَإِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَبِذُنُوبِي غَيْرَ ظَالِمٍ وَ إِنْ تَغْفِرْ لِي وَ تَرْحَمْنِي فَإِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ
And I have disobeyed You-azwj, O my God-azwj upon other than the aspects of the major sins and not exiting from Your-azwj servitude nor rejecting Your-azwj Lordship, but I obeyed my personal desires and the Satan-la made me slip. For You-azwj is the Argument against me and the Statement. So, if You-azwj were to Punish me it would be due to my sins, without being unjust, and if You-azwj were to Forgive me and Mercy me, surely You-azwj are the Generous, Benevolent! O Benevolent! O Benevolent!’ – until the breath is cut.
ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا آمِناً مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ مِنْكَ خَائِفٌ حَذِرٌ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَمْنِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ خَوْفِ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مِنْكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي أَمَاناً لِنَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ سَائِرِ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى لَا أَخَافَ أَحَداً وَ لَا أَحْذَرَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَبَداً- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Then he should say, ‘O Secure from all things, and all things are fearful from You-azwj, cautious! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Security from all things and fear of all things from You-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Grant me security for myself, and my wife and my children and rest of what You-azwj have Favoured with upon me until I do not fear anyone nor be cautious of anything, ever! Surely, You-azwj are Able upon all things! Allah-azwj Suffices us and is the best Protector!
يَا كَافِيَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نُمْرُودَ وَ يَا كَافِيَ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَ يَا كَافِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص الْأَحْزَابَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَكْفِيَنِي شَرَّ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ فَيَسْتَكْفِي شَرَّ مَنْ يَخَافُ شَرَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَكْفِي شَرَّهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى-
O Sufficer of Ibrahim-saww from Nimrod-la, and O Sufficer of Musa-as from Pharaoh-la, and O Sufficer of Muhammad-saww from the confederates! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Suffice me of evil of so and so, son of so and so!’ – seeking sufficing from evil of the one he fears his evil, for he will be suffice of his evil, of Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires.
ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ وَ يَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَهُ وَ يَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَإِنَّهُ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا فُتِحَتْ لَهُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاءِ لِلْإِجَابَةِ وَ يُجَابُ فِي وَقْتِهِ وَ لَيْلَتِهِ كَائِناً مَا كَانَ وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى النَّاسِ.
Then he should do Sajdah and ask his need and beseech to Allah-azwj the Exalted, for there is none from a believing man nor a believing woman praying this Salat and supplicating with this supplicant except doors of the sky will be opened for him for the Response, and he will be Answered during his time, and his night, whatever may happen, and that is from the Grace of Allah-azwj upon us and upon the people’’.[133]

(The book) ‘Al Jamal’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One who prays two Cycles Salat on the night of the Friday, reciting in each Cycle (Surah) Al Tawheed fifty times, and he should say in end of his Salat, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww the Arabian, and his-saww Progeny-asws’, Allah‑azwj will Forgive for him what he had sent ahead from his sins and what he had delayed.

And it is as if he has recited the Quran twelve thousand times, and on the Day of Qiyamah Allah-azwj will Raise from him the hunger and the thirst, and Allah-azwj will Relieve from him every worry and grief, and Protect him from Iblees-la and his-la armies, and will definitely not Write sins against him, and Allah-azwj will Lighten the pangs of death from him.
فَإِنْ مَاتَ فِي يَوْمِهِ أَوْ لَيْلَتِهِ مَاتَ شَهِيداً وَ رَفَعَ عَنْهُ عَذَابَ الْقَبْرِ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ وَ تَقَبَّلَ صَلَاتَهُ وَ صِيَامَهُ وَ اسْتَجَابَ دُعَاءَهُ وَ لَمْ يَقْبِضْ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ رُوحَهُ حَتَّى يَجِيئَهُ رِضْوَانُ بِرَيْحَانٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ شَرَابٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ.
If he dies during his day or his night will die as a martyr, and punishment of the grave will be Raised from him, and he will not ask Allah-azwj for anything except He-azwj would Give him, and Accept his Salat and his Fasts, and Answer his supplication, and the Angel of death will not capture his soul until Rizwaan (keeper of Paradise) comes to him with aromas of Paradise and a drink from the Paradise’’.[142]

And from him-saww having said: ‘One who prays eleven Cycles on the night of Friday with one Salaam, reciting in each Cycles (Surahs) Al Fatiha, and Al Tawheed once, once, and Al Falaq once, and Al Naas once.

When he is free from his Salat, he should fall in Sajdah and say in his Sajdah seven times, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, will enter the Paradise on the Day of Qiyamah from whichever of its doors he so desires, and Allah‑azwj the Exalted will Give him, for every Cycle, Rewards of a Prophet-as from the Prophets‑as, and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Build a city for him for every Cycle, and Allah-azwj will Write for him Rewards of every Verse he had recited Rewards of a Hajj and an Umrah, and on the Day of Qiyamah he would be among a group of Prophets-as’’.[143]

(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – We are reporting by our chains to Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘During the two Eid(s) and the Friday, when you prepare for the going out, supplicate with this supplication: –
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَوْ تَعَبَّأَ أَوْ أَعَدَّ أَوِ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ وَ فَوَاضِلِهِ وَ عَطَايَاهُ فَإِنَّ إِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي تَهْيِئَتِي وَ تَعْبِئَتِي وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ وَ نَوَافِلِكَ وَ فَوَاضِلِكَ وَ عَطَائِكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! One who prepares during this day, or makes effort, or makes arrangements, or readies himself for delegating to a created being hoping for his provisions, and his gifts, and his optional, and his booty, and his kindness, and his awards (up to him). O my Master-azwj! To You-azwj is my preparation, and my efforts, and my arrangements, and my readiness hoping for Your-azwj Provisions, and Your Rewards, and Your-azwj Gifts, and Your-azwj Booty, and Your-azwj Awards.
وَ قَدْ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى عِيدٍ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ- وَ لَمْ أَفِدْ إِلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ أَثِقُ بِهِ قَدَّمْتُهُ وَ لَا تَوَجَّهْتُ بِمَخْلُوقٍ أَمَّلْتُهُ وَ لَكِنْ أَتَيْتُكَ خَاضِعاً مُقِرّاً بِذُنُوبِي وَ إِسَاءَتِي إِلَى نَفْسِي
And I have come to an Eid from Eid(s) of the community of Muhammad-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and I have not delegated to You-azwj today with righteous deeds I can be trusting with advancing it, and I have not diverted to a created being wishing to him, but I have come to You-azwj humbly, acknowledging to myself of my sins and my evil deeds!
فَيَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الْعَظِيمَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ الْعِظَامَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Almighty! O Almighty! Forgive for me my might sins, for surely no one forgives the mighty sins except You-azwj, O there is no god except You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[145]

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ –
‘It is reported from the Prophet-saww: ‘The good and the evil are both doubled on the day of Qiyamah so it is befitting for the human being to frequent from the good deeds during it and shun the evil, and the cupping performed during it is disliked’.
وَ رُوِيَ جَوَازُهَا وَ مِنْ أَكْيَدِ السُّنَنِ فِيهِ الْغُسْلُ وَ وَقْتُهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى الزَّوَالِ وَ كُلَّمَا قَارَبَ الزَّوَالَ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ الْغُسْلَ فَلْيَقُلْ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ ص
And its permission has been reported, ‘And from the emphasised Sunnah during it (Friday) is the bathing, and its timing is from after the emergence of the dawn up to the midday, and all what is near to the midday would be better. When he intends the bathing let him say, ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَطَهِّرِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Make me from the penitent, and Make me from the Purified ones, and the Praise is for Allah‑azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds!’

And it is recommended that he should clip his nail and say during that, ‘In the Name of Allah‑azwj, and by Allah-azwj, and upon the Sunnah of Rasool-Allah-saww and the Imams-asws from after him-saww, may the greetings be upon him-saww and them-asws!’
وَ يَأْخُذُ مِنْ شَارِبِهِ وَ يَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ مِلَّةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ ع-
And he should trim from his moustache and say, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj and upon religion of Rasool-Allah-saww and religion of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and the successors-asws!’

And it is befitting he wipes something from the perfume on his body, and he should wear cleanest of his clothes. When he prepares for the going out to the Salat, he should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! One who prepares during this day’ – up to end of what has passed by the report of the Seyyid’’.[146]

Whatever You-azwj Desire happens, and whatever You-azwj don’t Desire from it does not happen!

O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me and Overlooking from me! O Allah-azwj! One whom You-azwj have Sent Salawaat upon, so my Salawaat is upon him, and one whom You-azwj have Cursed, so my curse is upon him!’, it would be an atonement from Friday to Friday’.

He-asws said: ‘You should say, ‘The greetings be upon you, O new day, the Blessed which Allah‑azwj had Made it as Eid for His-azwj friends, the one Purified from the filth, the one who have come out from the abhorrent Trials with His-azwj friends, who have devoted themselves in loving friends of the Beneficent in submission! The greetings be upon you all, constant greetings, for ever!’

And turn towards the sun and say, ‘The greetings be to you, O sun, the emerging, the Noor, the meritorious, the glorious! I keep you as witness with my Tawheed of Allah-azwj for you to be my witness when the Lord-azwj Reveals the decisive Judgment in the new world!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ وَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ تُشَوِّهَ خَلْقِي وَ أَنْ تُرَدِّدَ رُوحِي فِي الْعَذَابِ بِنُورِكَ الْمَحْجُوبِ عَنْ كُلِّ نَاظِرٍ نَوِّرْ قَلْبِي فَإِنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ فِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَ لَا رَبَّ لِي سِوَاكَ

O Allah-azwj! I draw closer to You-azwj with a humble heart, and to Your-azwj Guardian-asws with a humble body, and to the rightly guiding Imams-asws with a humble heart, and to the honourable captains, and the excellent ones, the honour with the humiliation, and I rub my nose for the one who professes Your-azwj Oneness, and there is no god apart from You-azwj, there is no Creator besides You-azwj!
وَ أُصَغِّرُ خَدِّي لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْفِي عَنْكَ كُلَّ ضِدٍّ وَ نِدٍّ فَإِنِّي أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الذَّلِيلُ الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِذُنُوبِي

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي حَطَّهَا عَنِّي وَ تَخْلِيصِي مِنَ الْأَدْنَاسِ وَ الْأَرْجَاسِ إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي قَدِ انْقَطَعْتُ عَنْ ذَوِي الْقُرْبَى وَ اسْتَغْنَيْتُ بِكَ عَنْ أَهْلِ الدُّنْيَا مُتَعَرِّضاً لِمَعْرُوفِكَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ مَعْرُوفِكَ مَعْرُوفاً تُغْنِينِي بِهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.
I ask You-azwj, O my Master-asws, to Move it aside from me, and Finish me from the dirt and the filths! My God-azwj and my Chief! I have been cut off from the ones with relationships, for the world is exposed to Your-azwj kindness, give me from Your-azwj kindness a favour by which You-azwj will make me rich from anyone but You-azwj!’’[150]

(The book) ‘Al Balad’ –
‘It is reported that the one who recites ‘Al-Jahd’ (Surah Al Kafiroun) ten times before emergence of the sun on the day of Friday and supplicates, it will be Answered for him’’.[152]
8- مِنْ أَصْلٍ قَدِيمٍ مِنْ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ قُدَمَائِنَا فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْفَجْرَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَابْتَدِئْ بِهَذِهِ الشَّهَادَةِ ثُمَّ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ- وَ هِيَ هَذِهِ
From an ancient original from compilations of our ancient ones (not a Hadith)– ‘When you have prayed Al-Fajr (Salat) on the day of Friday, begin with this testimony, then with the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and it is this: –
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ آمَنْتُ بِكَ وَ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ كُتُبِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ بِالسَّاعَةِ وَ الْبَعْثِ وَ النُّشُورِ وَ بِلِقَائِكَ وَ الْحِسَابِ وَ وَعْدِكَ وَ وَعِيدِكَ وَ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الْعَذَابِ وَ قَدَرِكَ وَ قَضَائِكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Lord-azwj and Lord-azwj of all things, and Creator of all things! I believe in You-azwj, and Your-azwj Angels, and Your-azwj Books, and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and the Hour, and the Resurrection, and the Publicising (of deeds), and meeting You-azwj, and the Reckoning, and Your-azwj Promise, and Your-azwj Threat, and the Forgiveness, and the Punishment, and Your-azwj Pre-determination, and Your-azwj Decree!
وَ رَضِيتُ بِكَ رَبّاً وَ بِالْإِسْلَامِ دِيناً وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص نَبِيّاً وَ بِالْقُرْآنِ كِتَاباً وَ حِكَماً وَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ قِبْلَةً وَ بِحُجَجِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ حُجَجاً وَ أَئِمَّةً وَ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِخْوَاناً
And I am satisfied with You-azwj as Lord-azwj, and with Al Islam as religion, and with Muhammad‑saww as Prophet-saww, and with the Quran as the Book and Wisdom, and with the Kabah as the Qiblah (direction), and Your-azwj Divine Authorities upon Your-azwj creatures as Divine Authorities and Imams-asws, and the Momineen as brethren!
وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ بِاللَّاتِ وَ الْعُزَّى وَ بِجَمِيعِ مَا يَعْبُدُ دُونَكَ وَ اسْتَمْسَكْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقى لَا انْفِصامَ لَها وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
And I disbelieve in the despots and the tyrants (Jibt and Al-Taghout), and with Al-Laat and Al-Uzza (two idols), and entirety of what would distance from You-azwj, and I have held to the firmest Handhold having no cracks for it, and Allah-azwj is All-Hearing, All-Knowing!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَعْبُودٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّابِعَةِ سِوَاكَ بَاطِلٌ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ كُنْتَ قَبْلَ الْأَيَّامِ وَ اللَّيَالِي وَ قَبْلَ الْأَزْمَانِ وَ الدُّهُورِ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ إِذْ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَ حَيٌّ بَعْدَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ فِي عَلْيَائِكَ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ فِي أَسْمَائِكَ-
And I testify that every deity, from Your-azwj Throne up to settlement of the seventh earth, apart from You-azwj, is false. There is no god except You-azwj Alone. There is no associate for You-azwj. You-azwj Existed before the days and the nights, and before the times and the ages, before all things. You-azwj were Alive before every living being, and will be Alive after all living beings. Blessed are You and Exalted, and Holy are Your-azwj Names!
لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا رَبَّ سِوَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ مَلِكٌ قُدُّوسٌ مُتَعَالٍ أَبَداً- لَا نَفَادَ لَكَ وَ لَا فَنَاءَ وَ لَا زَوَالَ وَ لَا غَايَةَ وَ لَا مُنْتَهَى- لَا إِلَهَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
There is no god other than You-azwj, nor any lord besides You-azwj, and You-azwj are Alive, Eternal, King, Holy, Exalted for ever! There is no depletion for You-azwj, nor perishing, nor decline, nor peak, nor end-point. There is no god in the skies and the earths except You-azwj!
تَعَظَّمْتَ حَمِيداً وَ تَحَمَّدْتَ كَرِيماً وَ تَكَبَّرْتَ رَحِيماً وَ كُنْتَ عَزِيزاً قَدِيماً قَدِيراً مَجِيداً تَعَالَيْتَ قُدُّوساً رَحِيماً قَدِيراً وَ تَوَحَّدْتَ إِلَهاً جَبَّاراً قَوِيّاً عَلِيّاً عَلِيماً عَظِيماً كَبِيراً وَ تَفَرَّدْتَ بِخَلْقِ الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمْ فَمَا خَالِقٌ بَارِئٌ مُصَوِّرٌ مُتْقِنٌ غَيْرَكَ
You-azwj are Magnificently Praise-worthy, and Praised honourably, and Great as Merciful, and Your-azwj were Mighty anciently, Powerful, Glorious, Exalted, Holy, Merciful, Able, and You-azwj One God, Subduer, Strong, Exalted, Knower, Magnificent, Great, and You-azwj are Individualised by Creating the creation, so there is no Creator, Shaper, Imager, Perfector apart from You-azwj!
وَ تَعَالَيْتَ قَاهِراً مَعْبُوداً مُبْدِئاً مُعِيداً مُنْعِماً مُفْضِلًا جَوَاداً مَاجِداً رَحِيماً كَرِيماً فَأَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الَّذِي لَمْ تَزَلْ وَ لَا تَزَالُ وَ تُضْرَبُ بِكَ الْأَمْثَالُ وَ لَا يُغَيِّرُكَ الدُّهُورُ وَ لَا يُفْنِيكَ الزَّمَانُ وَ لَا تُدَاوِلُكَ الْأَيَّامُ وَ لَا يَخْتَلِفُ عَلَيْكَ اللَّيَالِي وَ لَا تُحَاوِلُكَ الْأَقْدَارُ وَ لَا تُبْلِغُكَ الْآجَالُ-
And You-azwj are Exalted, Subduer, worshipped, Initiator, Repeater, Benefactor, Gracious, Glorious, Merciful, Benevolent! You-azwj are the Lord-azwj Who did not cease to be nor will cease to be, (nor) can the resemblances be struck with You-azwj, nor do the ages change You-azwj, nor do the times annihilate You-azwj, nor do the day overturn You-azwj, nor do the nights differ upon You-azwj, nor does the destiny oppose You-azwj, nor does the term reach You-azwj!
لَا زَوَالَ لِمُلْكِكَ وَ لَا فَنَاءَ لِسُلْطَانِكَ وَ لَا انْقِطَاعَ لِذِكْرِكَ وَ لَا تَبْدِيلَ لِكَلِمَاتِكَ وَ لَا تَحْوِيلَ لِسُنَّتِكَ وَ لَا خُلْفَ لِوَعْدِكَ وَ لَا تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَ لَا نَوْمٌ وَ لَا يَمَسُّكَ نَصَبٌ وَ لَا لُغُوبٌ:
There is neither any decline to Your-azwj Kingdom, nor annihilation for Your-azwj Authority, nor termination to Your-azwj Zikr, nor replacement to Your-azwj Phrases, nor transformation of Your‑azwj Sunnah, nor breaking of Your-azwj Promised, nor does drowsiness seize you nor sleep, nor does toil touch You-azwj nor weariness!
فَأَنْتَ الْجَلِيلُ الْقَدِيمُ الْأَوَّلُ الْآخِرُ الْبَاطِنُ الظَّاهِرُ الْقُدُّوسُ عَزَّتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ سِوَاكَ وَصَفْتَ نَفْسَكَ أَحَداً صَمَداً فَرْداً لَمْ تَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً لَمْ تَلِدْ وَ لَمْ تُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ-
You-azwj are the Majestic, the Ancient, the First, the Last, the Esoteric, the Apparent, the Holy! Mighty are Your-azwj Names and Majestic is Your-azwj Praise, and there is no god apart from You-azwj. You-azwj have Described Yourself-azwj are the First, Last, Individual, not having taken a female companion nor son, neither begetting nor having been begotten and there does not happen to be anyone a match for You-azwj!
أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ فِي غَيْرِ وَصَبٍ وَ لَا نَصَبٍ لَمْ تَشْغَلْكَ رَحْمَتُكَ عَنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ لَا عَذَابُكَ عَنْ رَحْمَتِكَ خَلَقْتَ خَلْقَكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَحْشَةٍ بِكَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا أُنْسٍ بِهِمْ وَ ابْتَدَعْتَهُمْ لَا مِنْ شَيْءٍ كَانَ وَ لَا بِشَيْءٍ شَبَّهْتَهُمْ-
You-azwj are the Permanent with neither a beginning nor an end. Your-azwj Mercy does not pre-occupy You-azwj from Your-azwj Punishment nor Your-azwj Punishment from Your-azwj Mercy. You‑azwj Created Your-azwj creatures without there being loneliness with You-azwj to them, nor comfort with them, and You-azwj Initiated them not from an existent thing nor resembling with anything.
لَا يُرَامُ عِزُّكَ وَ لَا يُسْتَضْعَفُ أَمْرُكَ- لَا عِزَّ لِمَنْ أَذْلَلْتَ وَ لَا ذُلَّ لِمَنْ أَعْزَزْتَ أَسْمَعْتَ مَنْ دَعَوْتَ وَ أَجَبْتَ مَنْ دَعَاكَ
Your-azwj Honour is not breached nor is Your-azwj Command weakened! There is no honour for the one You-azwj Humiliate, nor any humiliation for the one whom You-azwj Honour! You-azwj Hear the one who supplicates and Respond to the one supplicating to You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ شَهَادَتِي هَذِهِ وَ اجْعَلْهَا عَهْداً عِنْدَكَ تُوَفِّنِيهِ يَوْمَ تَسْأَلُ الصَّادِقِينَ عَنْ صِدْقِهِمْ وَ ذَلِكَ قَوْلُكَ- لا يَمْلِكُونَ الشَّفاعَةَ إِلَّا مَنِ اتَّخَذَ عِنْدَ الرَّحْمنِ عَهْداً
O Allah-azwj! Write this testimony of mine and Make is a Covenant with You-azwj I can be loyal with it on the Day You-azwj Question the truthful ones of their truthfulness, and that is His-azwj Word: They shall not be controlling the intercession, except one who takes a Pact with the Beneficent [19:87].
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ ص وَ بِإِيمَانِي بِهِ وَ بِطَاعَتِي لَهُ وَ تَصْدِيقِي بِمَا جَاءَ بِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَنَزَلَ بِهِ الرُّوحُ الْأَمِينُ مِنْ وَحْيِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ الْقَائِدِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَةِ الَّذِي بِطَاعَتِهِ تُنَالُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ تُهْتَكُ الْعِصْمَةُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ وَ رَحَّمَ وَ كَرَّمَ
O Allah-azwj! I divert to You-azwj through Your-azwj Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww, and with my belief in him-saww, and with my obedience to him-saww, and my ratification with whatever he‑saww had come with from Your-azwj Presence. The Trustworthy Spirit had descended with hit from Your-azwj Revelation unto Muhammad-saww, the Prophet-saww of Mercy, the guide to the Mercy which by being obedient to him-saww the Mercy is attained, and by disobeying him-saww the protection is breached. May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny‑asws, and Greetings, and Mercy, and Benevolence!
يَا دَاحِيَ الْمَدْحُوَّاتِ وَ يَا بَانِيَ الْمَسْمُوكَاتِ وَ يَا مُرْسِيَ الْمُرْسَيَاتِ وَ يَا جَبَّارَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ خَالِقَ الْقُلُوبِ عَلَى فِطْرَتِهَا شَقِيِّهَا وَ سَعِيدِهَا وَ بَاسِطَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
O Creator of praises, O Builder of destinies, O Guide of the guided, O Almighty of the skies, and Creator of hearts, in their inherent nature. You-azwj are the one who Determines their happiness and misery, and You-azwj are the Bestower of Mercy upon the righteous.
اجْعَلْ شَرَائِفَ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ نَوَامِيَ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ رَأْفَةَ تَحَنُّنِكَ وَ عَوَاطِفَ زَوَاكِي رَحْمَتِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ الْفَاتِحِ لِمَا أَغْلَقَ وَ الْخَاتِمِ لِمَا سَبَقَ وَ مُظْهِرِ الْحَقِّ بِالْحَقِّ وَ دَامِغِ الْبَاطِلِ كَمَا حَمَلْتَهُ
Make the honours of Your-azwj Blessings, the Blessings of Your-azwj provisions, the tenderness of Your-azwj Mercy, and the affections of Your-azwj Grace be upon Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj servant and Messenger-saww, the Opener of what was closed, the Sealer of what has passed, the Manifestation of the truth with the truth, and the Overthrower of falsehood as You-azwj carried it.
فَاضْطَلَعَ بِأَمْرِكَ مُحْتَمِلًا لِطَاعَتِكَ مُسْتَوْفِزاً فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ غَيْرَ نَاكِلٍ فِي قَدَمٍ وَ لَا وَاهِنٍ فِي عَزْمٍ حَافِظاً لِعَهْدِكَ مَاضِياً عَلَى نَفَاذِ أَمْرِكَ حَتَّى أَوْرَى قَبَسَ الْقَابِسِ وَ بِهِ هَدَيْتَ الْقُلُوبَ بَعْدَ خَوْضَاتِ الْفِتَنِ وَ أَقَامَ مُوضِحَاتِ الْأَعْلَامِ وَ مُنِيرَاتِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ نَائِرَاتِ الْأَحْكَامِ
Therefore, he-saww rose, bearing Your-azwj Command, ready for Your-azwj obedience, motivated by Your-azwj Pleasure, not faltering in resolve, remaining true to Your-azwj covenant, persistent in carrying out Your-azwj orders, until he-saww illuminated the darkest corners of the hearts, after passing through trials and tribulations. He-saww established the clear signs and illuminated the path of Islam and clarified the judgments.
فَهُوَ أَمِينُكَ الْمَأْمُونُ وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِكَ الْمَخْزُونِ وَ شَهِيدُكَ يَوْمَ الدِّينِ وَ بَعِيثُكَ نِعْمَةً وَ رَسُولُكَ رَحْمَةً فَافْسَحْ لَهُ مَفْسَحاً فِي عَدْلِكَ وَ اجْزِهِ مُضَعَّفَاتِ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ مُهَنَّآتٍ غَيْرَ مُكَدَّرَاتٍ مِنْ فَوْزِ فَوَائِدِكَ الْمَحْلُولِ وَ جَزِيلِ عَطَائِكَ الْمَوْصُولِ
So he-saww is Your-azwj trustworthy one, the guardian of Your-azwj hidden Knowledge, Your-azwj witness on the Day of Qiyamah, and the one You-azwj sent as a blessing and Your-azwj Messenger-saww as a source of mercy. Therefore, grant him-saww ample room in Your-azwj Justice, and Reward him with abundant and unburdened benefits from Your-azwj Grace, without any limitations or restrictions, and an abundance of Your-azwj bounties that are continually Bestowed.
اللَّهُمَّ أَعْلِ عَلَى بِنَاءِ الْبَانِينَ بِنَاءَهُ وَ أَكْرِمْ لَدَيْكَ نُزُلَهُ وَ مَثْوَاهُ وَ أَتْمِمْ لَهُ نُورَهُ وَ أَرِنَاهُ بِابْتِعَاثِكَ إِيَّاهُ مَرْضِيَّ الْمَقَالَةِ مَقْبُولَ الشَّهَادَةِ ذَا مَنْطِقِ عَدْلٍ وَ خُطَّةِ فَصْلٍ وَ حُجَّةٍ وَ بُرْهَانٍ عَظِيمَ الْجَزَاءِ
O Allah-azwj! Elevate the building of the builders with his-saww construction, Honour his-saww dwelling and abode in Your-azwj Presence, Complete his-saww Noor, and Show him-saww, through Your-azwj Sending, as one who is pleasing in speech, accepted in testimony, possessing the eloquence of justice and the plan of distinction, a proof and great evidence, worthy of a great Reward.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا شَافِعِينَ مُخْلِصِينَ وَ أَوْلِيَاءَ مُطِيعِينَ وَ رُفَقَاءَ مُصَاحِبِينَ أَبْلِغْهُ مِنَّا السَّلَامَ وَ أَوْرِدْنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَوْرِدْ عَلَيْهِ مِنَّا السَّلَامَ
O Allah-azwj! Make us intercessors who are sincere, allies who are obedient, and companions who are gentle. Convey our greetings to him-saww and admit us to him, and convey his-saww greetings to us.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ وَ الشَّهَادَةُ حَظِّي وَ الْحَقُّ عَلَيَّ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ نَبِيُّكَ وَ صَفِيُّكَ وَ نَجِيُّكَ وَ أَمِينُكَ وَ نَجِيبُكَ وَ حَبِيبُكَ وَ صَفْوَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ خَلِيلُكَ وَ خَاصُّكَ وَ خَالِصَتُكَ وَ خِيَرَتُكَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ-
O Allah-azwj! I bear witness, and the testimony is my portion. The truth is upon me that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant, Your-azwj Rasool-saww, Your-azwj Prophet-saww, Your-azwj Chosen one, Your-azwj saviour, Your-azwj trusted one, Your-azwj selected one, Your-azwj beloved, and the purest from among Your-azwj creation, Your-azwj close friend, Your-azwj special one, Your‑azwj exclusive one, and the best of Your-azwj creation.
النَّبِيُّ الَّذِي هَدَيْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ عَلَّمْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْجَهَالَةِ وَ بَصَّرْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْعَمَى وَ أَقَمْتَنَا بِهِ عَلَى الْمَحَجَّةِ الْعُظْمَى وَ سَبِيلِ التَّقْوَى
The Prophet-saww through whom You-azwj Guided us from misguidance, Taught us from ignorance, Granted us insight from blindness, and Established us upon the grand path of righteousness and the way of piety.
وَ أَخْرَجْتَنَا بِهِ مِنَ الْغَمَرَاتِ وَ أَنْقَذْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ شَفَا جُرُفِ الْهَلَكَاتِ أَمِينُكَ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ وَ مُسْتَوْدَعُ سِرِّكَ وَ حِكْمَتِكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ إِلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ حُجَّتُكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ
He-saww led us out of the depths of darkness and saved us from the perilous precipices. He-saww is Your-azwj Trustee for Your-azwj Revelation, the keeper of Your-azwj secrets and wisdom, Your‑azwj Messenger-saww to Your-azwj creation, Your-azwj Divine Authority upon Your-azwj servants.
وَ مُبَلِّغُ وَحْيِكَ وَ مُؤَدِّي عَهْدِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَ نُوراً يَسْتَضِيءُ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يُبَشِّرُ بِالْجَزِيلِ مِنْ ثَوَابِكَ وَ يُنْذِرُ بِالْأَلِيمِ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ
He-saww conveyed Your-azwj Revelation, fulfilled Your-azwj Covenant, and You-azwj Made him-saww a source of mercy for the worlds, a light by which the believers are illuminated. He brought glad tidings of the great rewards from You-azwj and warned of the painful punishments.
فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ عَبَدَكَ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ مِنْ وَعْدِكَ وَ أَنَّهُ لِسَانُكَ فِي خَلْقِكَ وَ عَيْنُكَ وَ الشَّاهِدُ لَكَ وَ الدَّلِيلُ عَلَيْكَ وَ الدَّاعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِكَ وَ السَّبَبُ فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ
So, I bear witness that he-saww has indeed brought the truth from You-azwj and has been Your‑azwj servant until he received the certainty of Your-azwj Promise. He is Your-azwj tongue among Your creation, Your-azwj eye, and the witness for You-azwj, the pointer on You-azwj, the caller to You-azwj, the argument against Your-azwj creation, and the means of communication between You-azwj and them.
وَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ صَدَعَ بِأَمْرِكَ وَ بَلَّغَ رِسَالَتَكَ وَ تَلَا آيَاتِكَ وَ حَذَّرَ أَيَّامَكَ وَ أَحَلَّ حَلَالَكَ وَ حَرَّمَ حَرَامَكَ وَ بَيَّنَ فَرَائِضَكَ وَ أَقَامَ حُدُودَكَ وَ أَحْكَامَكَ وَ حَضَّ عَلَى عِبَادَتِكَ
And he-saww has followed Your-azwj Command, conveyed Your-azwj Message, recited Your-azwj Verses, warned of Your-azwj days, clarified what is permissible from what is forbidden, explained Your-azwj obligations, upheld Your-azwj legal punishments, judgments, and urged Your-azwj worship.
وَ أَمَرَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ائْتَمَرَ بِهَا وَ نَهَى عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ انْتَهَى عَنْهَا وَ دَلَّ عَلَى حُسْنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ وَ أَخَذَ بِهَا وَ نَهَى عَنْ مَسَاوِي الْأَخْلَاقِ وَ اجْتَنَبَهَا وَ وَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَكَ قَوْلًا وَ عَمَلًا وَ عَادَى أَعْدَاءَكَ قَوْلًا وَ عَمَلًا وَ دَعَا إِلَى سَبِيلِكَ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ
He-saww commanded obedience to You-azwj, encouraged it, and prohibited disobedience to You‑azwj, deterring from it. He exemplified good manners and adhered to them, avoiding bad character traits. He-saww guided Your-azwj allies in word and deed, opposed Your-azwj enemies in word and deed, and called to Your-azwj path with wisdom and goodly admonition.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَاحِراً وَ لَا مَسْحُوراً وَ لَا شَاعِراً وَ لَا مَجْنُوناً وَ لَا كَاهِناً وَ لَا أَفَّاكاً وَ لَا جَاحِداً وَ لَا كَذَّاباً وَ لَا شَاكّاً وَ لَا مُرْتَاباً وَ أَنَّهُ رَسُولُكَ وَ خَاتَمُ النَّبِيِّينَ جَاءَ بِالْوَحْيِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ صَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ-
I bear witness that he-saww was not a sorcerer, nor bewitched; he-saww was not a poet, nor a madman; he-saww was not a soothsayer, nor a liar; he-saww was not a denier, nor a doubter. He‑saww was indeed Your-azwj Messenger-saww and seal of the Prophets-as. He-saww came with Revelations from You-azwj and confirmed the previous Messengers-as.
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوهُ ذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ وَ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِهِ وَ اتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الْمُتَّقُونَ
I bear witness that those who denied him-saww will taste the painful punishment, and those who believed in him-saww and followed the Noor that was Sent with him-saww, they are the pious.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ أَفْضَلَ وَ أَشْرَفَ وَ أَكْمَلَ وَ أَكْبَرَ وَ أَطْيَبَ وَ أَطْهَرَ وَ أَتَمَّ وَ أَعَمَّ وَ أَزْكَى وَ أَنْمَى وَ أَحْسَنَ وَ أَجْمَلَ وَ أَكْثَرَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, most superior, and noblest, and most perfect, and greatest, and best, and purest, and most complete, and most general, and purest, and most blissful, most excellent, and most beautiful, and most frequent of what You-azwj had Sent upon anyone from the former ones and the latter ones, surely You-azwj are Praised, Glorified!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ حَيّاً وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ مَيِّتاً وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ مَبْعُوثاً وَ صَلِّ عَلَى رُوحِهِ فِي الْأَرْوَاحِ الطَّيِّبَةِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى جَسَدِهِ فِي الْأَجْسَادِ الزَّاكِيَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww alive, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww when dead, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww as Prophet-saww, and Send Salawaat upon his-saww soul from the souls, the good, and Send Salawaat upon his-saww body from the bodies, the pure!
اللَّهُمَّ شَرِّفْ بُنْيَانَهُ وَ كَرِّمْ مَقَامَهُ وَ أَضِئْ نُورَهُ وَ أَبْلِغْهُ الدَّرَجَةَ [وَ] الْوَسِيلَةَ عِنْدَكَ فِي الرِّفْعَةِ وَ الْفَضِيلَةِ وَ أَعْطِهِ حَتَّى يَرْضَى وَ زِدْهُ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ ابْعَثْهُ مَقَاماً مَحْمُوداً
O Allah-azwj! Honour his-saww structure, Dignify his-saww station, Illuminate his-saww light, Elevate his-saww rank and station with You-azwj in excellence and virtue, grant him-saww until he-saww is pleased and then Increase him-saww after the satisfaction. Raise him-saww to a praiseworthy position.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ بِكُلِّ مَنْقَبَةٍ مِنْ مَنَاقِبِهِ وَ مَوْقِفٍ مِنْ مَوَاقِفِهِ وَ حَالٍ مِنْ أَحْوَالِهِ رَأَيْتَهُ لَكَ فِيهَا نَاصِراً وَ عَلَى مَكْرُوهِ بَلَائِهِ صَابِراً صَلَاةً تُعْطِيهِ بِهَا خَصَائِصَ مِنْ عَطَائِكَ وَ فَضَائِلَ مِنْ حِبَائِكَ تُكْرِمُ بِهَا وَجْهَهُ
O Allah! Send Salawaat upon him-saww for every virtue of his-saww, every stand he-saww took, and every state he-saww was in, where You-azwj Saw him-saww assisting and enduring his-saww adversities with patience, a Salawaat through which You-azwj Grant him the unique gifts from Your-azwj bounties, and the excellences from Your-azwj Love, by which You-azwj Dignify his face!
وَ تُعَظِّمُ بِهَا خَطَرَهُ وَ تُنْمِي بِهَا ذِكْرَهُ وَ تُفْلِجُ بِهَا حُجَّتَهُ وَ تُظْهِرُ بِهَا عُذْرَهُ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَ بِهِ أَفْضَلَ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ مِنْ جَزِيلِ جَزَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَدْتَ لَهُ مِنْ كَرِيمِ حِبَائِكَ وَ ذَخَرْتَ لَهُ مِنْ وَاسِعِ عَطَائِكَ
Magnify his mention, enhance his-saww argument, and manifest his-saww excuse, until he-saww attains the highest reward You-azwj Promised him-saww, from Your-azwj abundant Recompense, You-azwj have prepared for him-saww from the nobility of Your-azwj loved ones, and have stored for him-saww from the vastness of Your-azwj Giving.
اللَّهُمَّ شَرِّفْ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ مَقَامَهُ وَ قَرِّبْ مِنْكَ مَثْوَاهُ وَ أَعْطِهِ أَعْظَمَ الْوَسَائِلِ وَ أَشْرَفَ الْمَنَازِلِ وَ عَظِّمْ حَوْضَهُ وَ أَكْرِمْ وَارِدِيهِ وَ كَثِّرْهُمْ وَ تَقَبَّلْ فِي أُمَّتِهِ شَفَاعَتَهُ وَ فِيمَنْ سِوَاهُمْ مِنَ الْأُمَمِ
O Allah! Honour his-saww place in the Hereafter, bring his-saww abode near to You-azwj, Grant him the greatest means and the most noble dwelling, Magnify his pool, Honour those who come to it, Increase their numbers, Accept his intercession within his-saww nation and beyond!
وَ أَعْطِهِ سُؤْلَهُ فِي خَاصَّتِهِ وَ عَامَّتِهِ وَ بَلِّغْهُ فِي الشَّرَفِ وَ التَّفْضِيلِ أَفْضَلَ مَا بَلَّغْتَ أَحَداً مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ الَّذِينَ قَامُوا بِحَقِّكَ وَ ذَبُّوا عَنْ حَرَمِكَ وَ أَفْشَوْا فِي الْخَلْقِ إِعْذَارَكَ وَ إِنْذَارَكَ وَ عَبَدُوكَ حَتَّى أَتَاهُمُ الْيَقِينُ
Grant him-saww his-saww requests both private and public, and Raise him to the highest rank and distinction, higher than any of the Messengers-as who stood for Your-azwj truth, protected Your-azwj Sanctity, conveyed Your-azwj excuses and warnings, and worshipped You-azwj until certainty (death) reached them.
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ مُحَمَّداً أَفْضَلَ خَلْقِكَ مِنْكَ زُلْفَى وَ أَعْظَمَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ شَرَفاً وَ أَرْفَعَهُمْ مَنْزِلًا وَ أَقْرَبَهُمْ مَكَاناً وَ أَوْجَهَهُمْ عِنْدَكَ جَاهاً وَ أَكْثَرَهُمْ تَبَعاً وَ أَمْكَنَهُمْ شَفَاعَةً وَ أَجْزَلَهُمْ عَطِيَّةً
O Allah-azwj! Make Muhammad-saww the best of Your-azwj creation, the one closest to You-azwj in honour, the highest in rank, the nearest to You-azwj in position, the most honoured in Your-azwj Presence, the one with the most followers, the most effective in intercession, and the one bestowed with the greatest gifts.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ صَلَاةً يُثْمِرُ سَنَاهَا وَ يَسْمُو أَعْلَاهَا وَ تُشْرِقُ أُولَاهَا وَ تَنْمِي أُخْرَاهَا نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ الْقَائِدِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, a Salawaat that yields its fruits, elevates its highest aspects, brightens its beginnings, and nurtures its ends. He-saww is the Prophet-saww of mercy and the guide to Mercy.
الَّذِي بِطَاعَتِهِ تُنَالُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَ بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ تُهْتَكُ للعصمة [الْعِصْمَةُ] وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ سَلَاماً عَزِيزاً يُوجِبُ كَثِيراً وَ يُؤْمِنُ ثُبُوراً أَبَداً إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ مَصَابِيحِ الظَّلَامِ وَ مَرَابِيعِ الْأَنَامِ وَ دَعَائِمِ الْإِسْلَامِ الَّذِينَ إِذَا قَالُوا صَدَقُوا
Through his-saww obedience, one attains mercy, and through his disobedience, the protection of infallibility is violated. Greet him-saww with a mighty and lasting greeting until the Day of Qiyamah, and upon his-saww Progeny-asws, the torches in the darkness, the fountains of humanity, and the pillars of Islam. They-asws are those who, when they-asws speak, speak the truth.
وَ إِذَا خَرِسَ الْمُغْتَابُونَ نَطَقُوا آثَرُوا رِضَاكَ وَ أَخْلَصُوا حُبَّكَ وَ اسْتَشْعَرُوا خَشْيَتَكَ وَ وَجِلُوا مِنْكَ وَ خَافُوا مَقَامَكَ وَ فَزِعُوا مِنْ وَعِيدِكَ وَ رَجَوْا أَيَّامَكَ وَ هَابُوا عَظَمَتَكَ وَ مَجَّدُوا كَرَمَكَ وَ كَبَّرُوا شَأْنَكَ وَ وَكَّدُوا مِيثَاقَكَ
When the detractors fall silent, they speak by their actions, seeking Your-azwj approval, sincerely loving You-azwj. They feel Your-azwj reverence, they stand in awe of You-azwj, they fear Your-azwj station, they tremble at Your-azwj warning, they hope for Your-azwj Favour, they revere Your-azwj Greatness, they glorify Your-azwj Generosity, and they uphold Your-azwj Covenant.
وَ أَحْكَمُوا عُرَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ اسْتَبْشَرُوا بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَ انْتَظَرُوا رَوْحَكَ وَ عَظَّمُوا جَلَالَكَ وَ سَدَّدُوا عُقُودَ حَقِّكَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ مَنْ وَالاكَ وَ مُعَادَاتِهِمْ مَنْ عَادَاكَ وَ صَبْرِهِمْ عَلَى مَا أَصَابَهُمْ فِي مَحَبَّتِكَ وَ دُعَائِهِمْ بِالْحِكْمَةِ
They upheld the ties of obedience to You-azwj, rejoiced in Your-azwj bounties, awaited Your-azwj Guidance, glorified Your-azwj Majesty, fulfilled the obligations of Your-azwj rights, supporting those who support You-azwj and opposing those who oppose You-azwj. They showed patience in what they faced in their love for You-azwj and called upon You-azwj with wisdom.
وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ إِلَى سَبِيلِكَ وَ مُجَادَلَتِهِمْ بِالَّتِي هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مَنْ عَانَدَكَ وَ تَحْلِيلِهِمْ حَلَالَكَ وَ تَحْرِيمِهِمْ حَرَامَكَ حَتَّى أَظْهَرُوا دَعْوَتَكَ وَ أَعْلَنُوا دِينَكَ وَ أَقَامُوا حُدُودَكَ وَ اتَّبَعُوا فَرَائِضَكَ فَبَلَغُوا فِي ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ الرِّضَا
They offered good counsel on the path to You-azwj, engaged in debate using the best manner for anyone who opposed You-azwj, deemed permissible what You-azwj made lawful, and deemed forbidden what You-azwj had made unlawful. They proclaimed Your-azwj call, declared Your-azwj religion, upheld Your-azwj limits, and followed Your-azwj obligations, thus attaining Your-azwj Satisfaction through it.
وَ سَلَّمُوا لَكَ الْقَضَاءَ وَ صَدَّقُوا مِنْ رُسُلِكَ مَنْ مَضَى وَ دَعَوْا إِلَى سَبِيلِ كُلِّ مُرْتَضًى الَّذِينَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَهُمْ مَآباً سَلِمَ وَ مَنِ اسْتَتَرَ بِهِمْ جُنَّةً عُصِمَ وَ مَنْ دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْمُعْضِلَاتِ لَبَّوْهُ وَ مَنِ اسْتَعْطَاهُمُ الْخَيْرَ آتَوْهُ صَلَاةً كَثِيرَةً طَيِّبَةً زَاكِيَةً نَامِيَةً مُبَارَكَةً
They submitted to Your-azwj decree, confirmed the Messengers-as who came before, and called to the path of every righteous person. Those who took them-as as guides found safety, and those who sought refuge in them-as were protected. Anyone who turned to them-as for help in difficulties found relief, and those who implored them-as for good were granted a lot of Salawaat, good, pure, blissful, Blessed.
صَلَاةً لَا تُحَدُّ وَ لَا تُبْلَغُ نَعْتُهَا وَ لَا تُدْرَكُ حُدُودُهَا وَ لَا يُوصَفُ كُنْهُهَا وَ لَا يُحْصَى عَدَدُهَا وَ سَلَامٌ عَلَيْهِمْ بِإِنْجَازِ وَعْدِهِمْ وَ سَعَادَةِ جَدِّهِمْ وَ إِسْنَاءِ رِفْدِهِمْ كَمَا قُلْتَ سَلَامٌ عَلَى آلِ يَاسِينَ إِنَّا كَذلِكَ نَجْزِي الْمُحْسِنِينَ
Salawaat that has no limits, cannot be fully described, its boundaries cannot be reached, its essence cannot be defined, its count cannot be calculated. Greetings be upon them for fulfilling their promise, for the happiness of their forefathers, and for the abundance of their sustenance. Just as You-azwj have said: Greetings be on Progeny of Yaseen [37:130] Indeed, like that do We Recompense the good doers [37:131].
اللَّهُمَّ اخْلُفْ فِيهِمْ مُحَمَّداً أَحْسَنَ مَا خَلَفْتَ أَحَداً مِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ فِي خُلَفَائِهِمْ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِمْ حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَ بِرَسُولِكَ وَ بِهِمْ كَمَالَ مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ أَعْيُنُهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مِمَّا لَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ ما أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make Muhammad-saww their-as successor, the best successor-saww You-azwj have ever Appointed for any of the Messengers-as in their successors-as and the Imams-asws after them-as, until You-azwj Complete, through Your Messenger-saww and them-as, the perfection that their eyes can never imagine, both in this world and the Hereafter from what no soul knows what is hidden for them from delight of the eyes, being a Recompense of what they had been doing [32:17].
وَ اجْعَلْهُمْ فِي مَزِيدِ كَرَامَتِكَ وَ جَزِيلِ جَزَائِكَ مِمَّا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَ لَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَ أَعْطِهِمْ مَا يَتَمَنَّوْنَ وَ زِدْهُمْ بَعْدَ مَا يَرْضَوْنَ وَ عَرِّفْ جَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ فَضْلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ مِنْكَ حَتَّى يُقِرُّوا بِفَضْلِكَ فَضْلَهُمْ وَ شَرَفَهُمْ
And grant them-asws an increase in Your-azwj Honour and abundant Rewards beyond what an eye has seen, or an ear has heard, or a heart has imagined. Give them-asws what they-asws desire and increase them-asws even after they-asws are satisfied. Make all of Your-azwj creation recognise the excellence of Muhammad-saww and the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and their station from You-azwj, so they acknowledge their-asws merit and their-asws nobility.
وَ يُعَرِّفُوا لَهُمْ حَقَّهُمُ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ فَرْضِ طَاعَتِهِمْ وَ مَحَبَّتِهِمْ وَ اتِّبَاعِ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنَا سَامِعِينَ لَهُمْ مُطِيعِينَ وَ لِسُنَّتِهِمْ تَابِعِينَ وَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِمْ مِنَ النَّاصِرِينَ وَ فِيمَا دَعَوْا إِلَيْهِ وَ دَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْمُصَدِّقِينَ
And let them acknowledge the rights You-azwj have established for them-asws in terms of their-asws obligatory obedience, love, and following their-asws instructions. Make us listeners to them-asws, obedient to their-asws guidance, and supporters against their-asws enemies, in what they-asws invite to and testify to, guide us among the ratifiers.
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّا قَدْ أَقْرَرْنَا لَهُمْ بِذَلِكَ وَ بِمَا أَمَرْتَنَا بِهِ عَلَى أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَبِرِضَاهُمْ نَرْجُو رِضَاكَ وَ بِسَخَطِهِمْ نَخْشَى سَخَطَكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَتَوَفَّنَا عَلَى مِلَّتِهِمْ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! We have indeed affirmed this for them and what You-azwj have Commanded us with on their-asws tongues, and we bear witness that this is from You-azwj with their-asws agreement. We hope for Your-azwj Satisfaction, and with their-asws displeasure we fear Your-azwj Displeasure. O Allah-azwj, make us die upon their-asws faith and gather us-asws with their group.
وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ تَقَرُّ عَيْنُهُ غَداً بِرُؤْيَتِهِمْ وَ أَوْرِدْنَا حَوْضَهُمْ وَ اسْقِنَا بِكَأْسِهِمْ وَ أَدْخِلْنَا فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَدْخَلْتَهُمْ فِيهِ وَ أَخْرِجْنَا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَخْرَجْتَهُمْ مِنْهُ حَتَّى نَسْتَوْجِبَ ثَوَابَكَ وَ نَنْجُوَ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ وَ نَلْقَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَنَّا رَاضٍ وَ نَحْنُ لَكَ مَرْضِيُّونَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا الرَّءُوفِ الرَّحِيمِ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
And Make us among those whose eyes are delighted tomorrow by seeing them-asws. Admit us to their-asws Fountain, allowing us to drink from their-asws cup, and Include us in every goodness You-azwj have included them-asws. Remove us from every evil from which You-azwj have removed them, so that we may deserve Your-azwj Rewards, be saved from Your-azwj Punishment, meet You-azwj while You-azwj are pleased with us, and we are pleased with You-azwj. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj, the Kind, the Merciful be upon our Prophet-saww and on his-saww entire Progeny‑asws!’
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَوْصُوفِينَ بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ تَقَرُّباً إِلَيْكَ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ وَ هَرَباً مِنْكَ غَيْرَ بَالِغٍ فِي مَسْأَلَتِي لَهُمْ مِعْشَارَ مَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَعْتَقِدُ لَهُمْ إِلَّا الْتِمَاسَ الْمُنَاصَحَةِ لَهُمْ وَ ثَوَابَ مَوْعُودِكَ وَ التَّوَجُّهَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِهِمْ وَ الشَّفَاعَةَ لَنَا مِنْهُمْ
O Allah-azwj! We ask You-azwj by Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, the ones described with having Your-azwj recognition, drawing closer to You-azwj with the begging and fleeing from You-azwj without reaching in my begging for them-asws what I believe for them-asws by Your-azwj Mercy except seeking the goodly advice for them-asws, and Rewards of Your-azwj Promise and the diverting to them-asws through them-asws, and the intercession for us from them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَاضِينَ مِنْ أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى أَفْضَلَ الْمَنَازِلِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَحَبَّهَا إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الشَّرَفِ الْأَعْلَى وَ الْمَكَانِ الرَّفِيعِ مِنَ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww of the past from the Imams-asws of guidance, best of the stations in Your-azwj Presence, and the most Beloved of these to You-azwj from the exalted nobility, and the lofty place from the exalted ranks!
يَا شَدِيدَ الْقُوَى نَفْحَةً مِنْ عَطَائِكَ الَّتِي لَا مَنَّ فِيهَا وَ لَا أَذَى خَصَّهُمْ مِنْكَ بِالْفَوْزِ الْعَظِيمِ فِي النَّظْرَةِ وَ النَّعِيمِ وَ الثَّوَابِ الدَّائِمِ الْمُقِيمِ الَّذِي لَا نَصَبَ فِيهِ وَ لَا يَرِيمُ
O Intense of the strength! Grant from Your-azwj awards which there is neither reproachment nor harm in it. Specialise them-asws from You-azwj with the mighty success in the happiness and the bliss, and the constant Rewards, the residence which there is no toil in it nor any fatigue!
اللَّهُمَّ أَسْكِنْهُمُ الْغُرَفَ الْمَبْنِيَّةَ عَلَى الْفُرُشِ الْمَرْفُوعَةِ وَ السُّرُرِ الْمَصْفُوفَةِ- مُتَّكِئِينَ عَلَيْها مُتَقابِلِينَ- لا يَسْمَعُونَ فِيها لَغْواً وَ لا تَأْثِيماً إِلَّا قِيلًا سَلاماً سَلاماً يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Settle them-asws is the towers build upon the raised thrones and the couches in rows Reclining upon these, facing each other [56:16] They will neither be hearing therein anything vain nor sinful talk [56:25] Except it would be said, ‘Peace! Peace!’ [56:26], O Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْفَعْ مُحَمَّداً فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ فَوْقَ مَنَازِلِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ صَفْوَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Exalt Muhammad-saww to the highest ranks, above the abodes of the Messengers-as, Your-azwj Angels of Proximity, all the Prophets-as, and the chosen ones from Your-azwj creation, all of them, with Your-azwj Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْزِهِمْ بِشُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ تَعْظِيمِ حُرْمَتِكَ جَزَاءً لَا جَزَاءَ فَوْقَهُ وَ عَطَاءً لَا عَطَاءَ مِثْلَهُ وَ خُلُوداً لَا خُلُودَ يُشَاكِلُهُ وَ لَا يَطْمَعُ أَحَدٌ فِي مِثْلِهِ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ أَحَدٌ قَدْرَهُ وَ لَا تَهْتَدِي الْأَلْبَابُ إِلَى طَلَبِهِ نِعْمَةً لِمَا شَكَرُوا مِنْ أَيَادِيكَ وَ إِرْصَاداً لِمَا صَبَرُوا عَلَى الْأَذَى فِيكَ:
O Allah-azwj! Reward them-asws for their gratitude for Your-azwj bounties and revering Your-azwj Sanctity, a Recompense there being Recompense above it, and an award there being no aware like it, and eternity there being no eternity resembling it, no one has ever coveted the likes of it nor is anyone able upon determining it, nor are the ones of understanding guided to seek it, being a bounty for when they-asws had thanked for Your-azwj Favours and Watchfulness for what they-asws had been patient upon the harm for Your-azwj Sake!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ عَلَى الْبَاقِي مِنْهُمْ فَتَرَحَّمْ وَ مَا وَعَدْتَهُمْ مِنْ نَصْرِكَ فَتَمِّمْ وَ أَشْيَاعَهُمْ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ سَلِّمْ وَ بِهِمْ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ جَنَاحَ الْكُفْرِ فَحَطِّمْ وَ أَمْوَالَ الظَّلَمَةِ وَلِيَّكَ فَغَنِّمْ وَ كُنْ لَهُمْ وَلِيّاً وَ حَافِظاً وَ نَاصِراً
O Allah-azwj! Have mercy on the remaining among them-asws. Fulfil the Promise You-azwj had Made to them-asws regarding Your-azwj Help. Protect their-asws followers from every evil, and Grant them safety and security. O Lord-azwj of all worlds! Shatter the wings of disbelief and bring down the wealth of the oppressors to Your-azwj true followers. Be their Guardian, Protector, and Helper.

Make them, along with the believers, a great army. Send down Angels as helpers from the skies. Raise from among them individuals who will seek vengeance for the blood of their ancestors. Leave no abode for the Kafirs on the earth, and increase nothing but loss for the wrongdoers!

And from him,
‘From Al-Husayn Bin Ali-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Ayat Al Kursy is in a tablet of green emeralds inscribed with special ink by Allah-azwj. There isn’t any day of Friday except that tablet is struck on the forehead of Israfeel-as.
فَإِذَا صَكَّ جَبْهَتَهُ سَبَّحَ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَنْبَغِي التَّسْبِيحُ إِلَّا لَهُ وَ لَا الْعِبَادَةُ وَ الْخُضُوعُ إِلَّا لِوَجْهِهِ ذَلِكَ اللَّهُ الْقَدِيرُ الْوَاحِدُ الْعَزِيزُ
When it strikes his-as forehead, he-as says: ‘Glory be to the One-azwj, the glorification is not befitting except for Him-azwj, nor is the worship and the humility except to His-azwj Face! That is Allah-azwj, the Powerful, the One, the Mighty!’

When it is morning, entirety of the Angels in the sky glorify and they extol Oneness. When people of the sky of the world hear their glorification, they extol Holiness. So there neither remains an Angel of Proximity nor a Messenger Prophet-as except he-as supplicates for a reciter of Ayat Al Kursy upon the Revelation (just as it has been Revealed)’’.[214]

Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘It was so, whenever Chief of the worshippers Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws came to a morning, would not recite other than it until the sun declined. When the sun declined, he-asws would pray Salat. When he-asws was free from his-asws Salat, he-asws began in (reciting) Surah Al Qadr’’.[215]

Abdullah son of Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘My mother-as (Syeda) Fatima-as daughter-as of Al-Husayn‑asws said: ‘I-as saw Rasool-Allah-azwj in the dream. He-saww said to me-as: ‘O daughter-as!

Then they all supplicate for its recites for every sin of his to be Forgiven and every wrongdoing to be overlooked’’.[216]

And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws had sworn earnestly that the one who recites it seventy times before decline of the sun coinciding with completion of seventy declines (middays), it will be Forgiven for him whatever he had sent ahead of his sins and what he has delayed. If he were to die during his year, would die having been Forgiven, without be Reckoned (on the Day of Qiyamah): –

‘Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep; for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth; who is that who can intercede in His Presence except by His Permission?

34- رِسَالَةُ الشَّهِيدِ الثَّانِي ره، رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ جَاءَ مِنْكُمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْيَغْتَسِلْ.
(The book) ‘Risalat’ of Al Shaheed Al Sany –
‘It is reported from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘One from you who comes to the Friday Salat, let him wash (bathe)’’.[227]
وَ قَالَ ص مَنِ اغْتَسَلَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مُحِيَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ خَطَايَاهُ وَ إِذَا أَخَذَ فِي الْمَشْيِ كُتِبَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ خُطْوَةٍ عِشْرُونَ حَسَنَةً
And he-saww said: ‘One who bathes on the day of Friday will obliterate his sins and his wrongdoings, and when he takes in the walking, twenty good deeds will be written for him with every step taken.
وَ كَانَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِذَا وَبَّخَ رَجُلًا يَقُولُ لَهُ وَ اللَّهِ لَأَنْتَ أَعْجَزُ مِنْ تَارِكِ الْغُسْلِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَزَالُ فِي طُهْرٍ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى.
And it was so, whenever Ali-asws scolded a man, said to him: ‘By Allah-azwj! You are more incapable than the one who neglects the bathing on the day of Friday, for he will not cease to be in purity up to the day of the next Friday’’.[228]
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الْغُسْلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَاجِبٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَنَّ يَعْنِي يَسْتَاكَ وَ أَنْ يَمَسَّ طِيباً إِنْ وَجَدَ وَ كَانَ ص يُقَلِّمُ أَظْفَارَهُ وَ يَقُصُّ شَارِبَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ.
And from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The bathing on the day of Friday is obligatory upon every Muslim, and even if he were to brush his teeth, and even if he touches perfume if he can find; and he-saww used to clip his-saww nails and trims his moustache on the day of Friday before he goes out to the Salat’’.[229]
وَ عَنْهُ ص قَالَ: لَا يَغْتَسِلُ رَجُلٌ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَتَطَهَّرُ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْ طُهْرٍ وَ يَتَدَهَّنُ بِدُهْنٍ مِنْ دُهْنِهِ وَ يَمَسُّ مِنْ طِيبِ بَيْتِهِ وَ يَخْرُجُ فَلَا يُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ ثُمَّ يُنْصِتُ إِذَا تَكَلَّمَ الْإِمَامُ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى.
And from him-saww having said: ‘No man will bathe on the day of Friday and purifies whatever he can from cleansing, and oils with oil from his oils, and touches from the perfume of his house, and goes out, he will not separate between two, then prays Salat what has been Prescribed for him, then he is silent when the prayer leader talks, except it will be Forgiven for him what is between it and the next Friday’’.[230]
وَ عَنْهُ ص مَنْ قَلَّمَ أَظْفَارَهُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وُقِيَ مِنَ السُّوءِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا.
And from him-saww: ‘One who clips his nails on the day of Friday will be saved from the evil up it its similar (next Friday)’’.[231]

And from it (the book) ‘Al Minhal’, and from ‘Al Muqnie’ –

(The book) ‘Al Risalah’ –
‘From the Prophet-saww having said: ‘Frequent from the Salawat upon me during every Friday. The one from you being of the most Salawaat upon me, he would be closest of you from me-saww in status; and the one who sends Salawaat upon me on the day of Friday one hundred times will come on the Day of Qiyamah and there will be Noor (radiance) upon his face; and the one who sends Salawaat upon me during the day of Friday a thousand times will not die until he sees his seat from the Paradise’’.[233]

And from Anas (well-known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says before the morning Salat on the day of Friday three times, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and I repent to Him-azwj’ – his sins will be Forgiven and even if these were more than foam of the sea’’.[237]

فَإِذَا جَلَسَ فَلْيَتَشَهَّدْ وَ لْيُثْنِ عَلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ لْيُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ لْيَدْعُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
When he sits, let him perform Tashahhud and praise upon Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww, and let him supplicate for the believing men and the believing women.
ثُمَّ يَدْعُو عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ يَحِقُّ عَلَيْكَ فِيهِ إِجَابَةُ الدُّعَاءِ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ ذِي حَقٍّ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَا هُوَ دُونَكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا-
Then he should supplicate upon the tracks of that saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the right of every Name which is for You-azwj obliging upon You-azwj the Responding to the supplication whenever it is supplicated with, and I ask You-azwj by the right of every one with a right upon You-azwj, and I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj right upon entirety of what is besides You‑azwj, to Do such and such with me!’
صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ عَنْهُ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي إِحْدَاهُمَا فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَ يُسَلِّمُ وَ يَقُولُ
Another Salat for the day of Friday from him-saww having said: ‘One who prays two Cycles Salat on the day of Friday reciting in one of them with Surah Al Fatiha once and Surah Al Tawheed one hundred times, then he should perform Tashahhud and Salaam, and say: –
يَا نُورَ النُّورِ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِدُخُولِ جَنَّتِكَ وَ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ- يَقُولُهَا سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً تَصْلُحُ دُنْيَاهُ وَ تِسْعَةً وَ سِتِّينَ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ دَرَجَاتٍ وَ لَا يَعْلَمُ ثَوَابَهُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.
O Light of the lights, O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful, O Living, O Eternal! Open for me doors of Your-azwj Mercy and Your-azwj Forgiveness, and Confer upon me with entering Your-azwj Paradise and Liberate me from the Hellfire!’ – saying it seven times, Allah-azwj will Forgive for him seventy times – once to rectify his worldly matters, and sixty-nine as ranks for him in the Paradise, and no one knows its Rewards except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[276]
60 الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، رَوَى أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَ فَضْلَ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلْيُصَلِّ قَبْلَ الظُّهْرِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Jamaal’ – It is reported by Abu Is’haq, from Al Haris,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who wants to achieve merits of the day of Friday, let him pray Salat of four Cycles before Al Zohr, reciting in each Cycle Surah Al Fatiha once, and Ayat Al Kursy fifteen times, and Al Tawheed fifteen times.
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ يَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ يَقُولُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ وَ آلِهِ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ حَتَّى يُعْتِقَهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.
When he is free from this Salat he should seek the Forgiveness of Allah-azwj seventy times and say, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj fifty time, and say, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj’, fifty times, and say, ‘May Allah‑azwj Send Salawaat upon the Ummy Prophet-saww and his-saww Progeny’, fifty times. When he does that, he will not stand from his place until Allah-azwj would have Liberated him from the Hellfire!’’[277]
أَقُولُ رَوَاهَا السَّيِّدُ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ مُسْنَداً عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ وَهْبَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا عَنْ أَبِي حَدِيثَةَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ مِثْلَهُ وَ زَادَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَ يَقْبَلُ صَلَاتَهُ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ دُعَاءَهُ وَ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ وَ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَ يَكْتُبُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ فِيهِ حَجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً وَ يَبْنِي لَهُ بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ مَدِينَةً وَ يُعْطِيهِ ثَوَابَ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي مَسَاجِدِ الْأَمْصَارِ الْجَامِعَةِ مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ.
I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘It is reported by the Seyyid in another place, he attributed it from Muhammad Bin Wahban, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Zakariya, from Abu Hadeysa, from Sufyan, from Abu Is’haq,
‘Similar to it, and there is an increase in its end, ‘And his Salat will be Accepted, and his supplication will be Answered, and (his sins) will be Forgiven for him and for his parent, and Allah-azwj the Exalted will Write for him, with every letter emerging from his mouth, a Hajj and an Umrah, and Build for him a city for every letter, and Give him Rewards of the Prophets-as who had prayed Salat in the central Masjids of the cities’’.[278]

Another four Cycles of Salat reported by Jabir Bin Abdullah-saww, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him-ra, said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays four Cycles Salat on the day of Friday, reciting in the first and the second and the third and the fourth, (Surahs) Al Fatiha once, and Al Tawheed fifty times, and Ayat Al Kursy fifteen times, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Make two wings to be for him, he can fly with these upon the Bridge and the Paradise wherever he so desires to’’.[281]

Another four Cycles of Salat reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he-asws had instructed a man to pray four Cycles of Al Zoha Salat on the day of Friday, reciting in each Cycle Surah Al Fatiha ten times, and Al Tawheed ten times.
ثُمَّ قَالَ فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ اسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
Then he-asws said: ‘When you have performed Salat, seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic seventy times and 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, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted the Magnificent!’’[282]
63 الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِيَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ رَوَى حُمَيْدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سِتِّينَ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا رَكَعْتَ قُلْتَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ

فَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ قُلْتَ سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِي وَ خَيَالِي وَ آمَنَ بِكَ فُؤَادِي وَ أَبُوءُ إِلَيْكَ بِالنِّعَمِ وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِالذَّنْبِ الْعَظِيمِ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
When you perform Sajdah, say, ‘I am doing Sajdah to You-azwj with my person and my thoughts, and believe in You-azwj with my heart and acknowledge to You-azwj with the bounties, and acknowledge to You-azwj with the mighty sins. I have done evil and have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive my sins for me, surely no one forgives the Sins except You-azwj!
أَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ
I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Pardon from Your-azwj Punishment, and I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Mercy from Your-azwj Vengeance, and I seek Refuge with Your-azwj Satisfaction from Your-azwj Annoyance, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from You-azwj.
لَا أَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ وَ لَا أُحْصِي نِعْمَتَكَ وَ لَا الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ-
I cannot reach Your-azwj Praise nor can I count Your-azwj bounties nor the praising upon You-azwj like what You-azwj have Praised upon Yourself-azwj, and I have done evil and have been unjust to myself, therefore Forgive my sins for me, surely no one forgives the sins except You-azwj!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ فِي أَيِّ سَاعَةٍ أُصَلِّيهَا مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘In which time should I pray it on the day of Friday? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’

He-asws said: ‘When the day rises what is between you and decline of the sun (midday)’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَنْ فَعَلَهَا فَكَأَنَّمَا قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً.
Then he-asws said: ‘One who says it, it is as if he has recited the Quran forty times’’.[283]

(The book) ‘Al Jamaal’, and ‘Al Mutahajjad’ – Another four Cycles Salat reported from Safwan who said,
‘Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Halby entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws during a day of Friday. He said to him-asws, ‘Teach me the best of what I can do during this day’.
فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ أَحَداً كَانَ أَكْبَرَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ فَاطِمَةَ ع وَ لَا أَفْضَلَ مِمَّا عَلَّمَهَا أَبُوهَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ
He-asws said: ‘O Muhammad! I-asws don’t know of anyone who was greater in the presence of Rasool-Allah-saww than Fatima-asws, nor anything superior to what her-asws father-saww Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as had taught her-asws.
قَالَ مَنْ أَصْبَحَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاغْتَسَلَ وَ صَفَّ قَدَمَيْهِ وَ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مَثْنَى مَثْنَى يَقْرَأُ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ الْعَادِيَاتِ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً وَ هَذِهِ سُورَةُ النَّصْرِ وَ هِيَ آخِرُ سُورَةٍ نَزَلَتْ
He-saww had said: ‘One who comes to a morning on the day of Friday, so he bathes and rows his feet and prays four Cycles, double by double, reciting in the first Cycle Surah(s) Al Hamd and Al Ikhlaas fifty times, and in the second Surah Al Fatiha and Al Adiyaat fifty times, and in the third Surah Al Fatiha and Al Zilzal fifty times, and in the fourth Al Fatiha and Al Naas fifty times, and this Surah Al Nasr, and it is another Surah having been Revealed.
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا دَعَا فَقَالَ إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ أَوْ تَعَبَّأَ أَوْ أَعَدَّ أَوِ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ فَوَائِدِهِ وَ نَائِلِهِ وَ فَوَاضِلِهِ وَ جَوَائِزِهِ فَإِلَيْكَ يَا إِلَهِي كَانَتْ تَهْيِئَتِي وَ تَعْبِئَتِي وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ مَعْرُوفِكَ وَ نَائِلِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ
When he is free from it he should supplicate saying, ‘My God-azwj and my Chief! One who makes preparations, or prepares, or gets ready to delegate to a created being hoping for his provisions, and his benefits, and his giving, and his rewards, and his awards (up to him). O my God-azwj! To You-azwj was my getting ready, and my readiness, and my preparation, and my getting ready and my anticipating for Your-azwj Provision, and Your-azwj Act of Kindness, and Your-azwj Reward, and Your-azwj Awards.
فَلَا تخيبي [تُخَيِّبْنِي] مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُخَيِّبُ مَسْأَلَةَ سَائِلٍ وَ لَا تَنْقُصُهُ عَطِيَّةُ نَائِلٍ لَمْ آتِكَ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ قَدَّمْتُهُ وَ لَا بِشَفَاعَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِشَفَاعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
Do not disappoint me from that, O One Who does not Disappoint the request of a beggar, nor does Giving a taker reduce Him-azwj! I have not come to You-azwj with righteous deed having sent it ahead nor with intercession of a created being, and I hope to draw closer to You-azwj through the intercession of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon them-asws all!
أَرْجُو عَظِيمَ عَفْوِكَ الَّذِي عَفَوْتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْخَاطِئِينَ عِنْدَ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى الْمَحَارِمِ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى الْمَحَارِمِ أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ أَنْتَ سَيِّدِيَ الْعَوَّادُ بِالنَّعْمَاءِ وَ أَنَا الْعَوَّادُ بِالْخَطَاءِ
I am hoping for Your-azwj Mighty Pardon which You-azwj had Pardoned the wrongdoers with during their devotion upon the prohibitions. Their prolonged devotion upon the prohibitions did not prevent You-azwj from repeating the Forgiveness upon them, and You-azwj are my Master-azwj, and repeated with the bounties, and I am the repeated with the wrongdoings!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ إِلَّا الْعَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ.
I ask You-azwj by Muhammad-saww and his-saww pure Progeny-asws to Forgive my mighty sins for me, surely no one can forgive my mighty sins except the Mighty! O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty, O Mighty!’’[284]
صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى رَوَى عَنْبَسَةُ بْنُ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ سُورَةَ الْحِجْرِ فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ جَمِيعاً فِي يَوْمِ جُمُعَةٍ لَمْ يُصِبْهُ فَقْرٌ أَبَداً وَ لَا جُنُونٌ وَ لَا بَلْوَى.
Another Salat reported by Anbasa Bin Mus’ab,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Ibrahim-as and Surah Al Hijr in two Cycles together during a day of Friday, poverty will not afflict him, ever, nor insanity, nor calamity’’.[285]
وَ صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى رَوَى الْحَارِثُ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ تُتِمُّ سُجُودَهُنَّ وَ رُكُوعَهُنَّ وَ تَقُولُ فِيمَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ فَافْعَلْ تَمَامَ الْخَبَرِ.
And another Salat is reported by Al Haris Al Hamadany,
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘If you are capable of praying Salat of ten Cycles on the day of Friday, completing their Sajdah and their Ruk’u, and saying during what is between every two Cycles, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj and with His-azwj Praise’, once, let him do so’ – the complete Hadeeth’’.[286]
65 الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى رَكْعَتَانِ رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى سَيِّدِي أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع فَرَأَيْتُهُ يُصَلِّي ثُمَّ رَأَيْتُهُ قَنَتَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي قِيَامِهِ وَ رُكُوعِهِ وَ سُجُودِهِ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ عَلَى اللَّهِ
(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Jamaal Al Usbou’ – Another Salat of two Cycles reported by Muhammad Bin Dawood Bin Kaseer, from his father who said,
‘I entered to see my master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws. I saw him‑asws praying Salat, then I saw him-asws performing Qunout in the second Cycle in his-asws standing and his-asws Ruk’u and his-asws Sajdah. Then he-asws turned his-asws honourable face to Allah-azwj.
ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا دَاوُدُ هِيَ رَكْعَتَانِ وَ اللَّهِ لَا يُصَلِّيهِمَا أَحَدٌ فَيَرَى النَّارَ بِعَيْنِهِ بَعْدَ مَا يَأْتِي فِيهِمَا مَا أَتَيْتُ
Then he-asws said: ‘O Dawood, there are two Cycles. By Allah-azwj! No one praying these will see the Hellfire with his eyes after having done in these what I-asws have done!’
فَلَمْ أَبْرَحْ مِنْ مَكَانِي حَتَّى عَلَّمَنِي
I did not depart from my place until he-asws had taught me.
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ فَعَلِّمْنِي يَا أَبَهْ كَمَا عَلَّمَكَ
Muhammad Bin Dawood said, ‘Teach me O father, like what he-asws had taught you!’
قَالَ إِنِّي لَأُشْفِقُ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُضَيِّعَ
He said, ‘I am fearful upon you that you might waste it!’
قُلْتُ كَلَّا إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ
I said, ‘Never, if Allah-azwj so Desires!’
قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلِّهِمَا وَ اقْرَأْ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ تَسْتَفْتِحُهُمَا بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَرْكَعَ وَ قُلْ
He said, ‘Whenever it is the day of Friday before the sun declines, pray these and recite in the first Cycle Surah(s) Al Fatiha and Al Qadr, and in the second Al Fatiha and Al Tawheed, and begin these two with Surah Al Fatiha. When you are free from reciting Surah Al Tawheed in the second Cycle, raise your hands before you do Ruk’u and say: –
إِلَهِي إِلَهِي إِلَهِي أَسْأَلُكَ رَاغِباً وَ أَقْصِدُكَ سَائِلًا وَاقِفاً بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ إِنْ أَقْنَطَتْنِي ذُنُوبِي نَشَّطَنِي عَفْوُكَ وَ إِنْ أَسْكَتَنِي عَمَلِي أَنْطَقَنِي صَفْحُكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ فَأَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ-
‘My God-azwj! My God-azwj! My God-azwj! I ask You-azwj being desirous, and aiming to You-azwj as a beggar standing in front of You-azwj, beseeching to You-azwj. If my sins despair me Your-azwj Pardon activates me, and if my deeds silence me, Your-azwj Pardon makes me speak, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his-saww Household! I ask You-azwj for the Pardon, the Pardon!’
ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ وَ تَفْرُغُ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ وَ قُلْ هَذَا وُقُوفُ الْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ يَا رَبِّ أَدْعُوكَ مُتَضَرِّعاً وَ رَاكِعاً مُتَقَرِّباً إِلَيْكَ بِالذِّلَّةِ خَاشِعاً فَلَسْتُ بِأَوَّلِ مُنْطَقٍ مِنْ حِشْمَةٍ مُتَذَلِّلًا أَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مَوْلَايَ أَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مَوْلَايَ-
Then perform Sajdah and be free from your glorifying and say this, ‘A pausing of the one seeking Refuge with You-azwj from the Fire, O Lord-azwj! I supplicate to You-azwj beseeching, and bowing, drawing closer to You-azwj with the disgrace, humbly. I am not the first one to speak from respect, humbly. You-azwj are most beloved to me my Master-azwj! You-azwj are most beloved to me my Master-azwj!’
فَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ فَابْسُطْ يَدَيْكَ كَطَالِبِ حَاجَةٍ وَ قُلْ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَ بِحَمْدِهِ رَبِّ هَذِهِ يَدَايَ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ هَذِهِ جَوَامِعُ بَدَنِي خَاضِعَةً بِفِنَائِكَ وَ هَذِهِ أَسْبَابِي مُجْتَمِعَةً لِعِبَادَتِكَ لَا أَدْرِي بِأَيِّ نَعْمَائِكَ أَقْلِبُ وَ لِأَيِّهَا أَقْصِدُ لِعِبَادَتِكَ أَ لِمَسْأَلَتِكَ أَمِ الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ
When you do Sajdah, spread your hands like one seeking a need, and say, ‘Glorious is my Lord-azwj the Exalted, and with His-azwj Praise! Lord-azwj, these are my hands extended in front of You-azwj! This is my whole body, humbling in Your-azwj courtyard, and these are my causes gathered to worship You-azwj! I don’t know for which of Your-azwj shall I turn and for which of these I should aim to worship You-azwj! Is it for asking You-azwj or the desire to You-azwj?
فَامْلَأْ قَلْبِي خَشْيَةً مِنْكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي كُلِّ حَالاتِي لَكَ قَصْدِي أَنْتَ سَيِّدِي فِي كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَ إِنْ حَجَبَتْ عَنْكَ أَعْيُنُ النَّاظِرِينَ إِلَيْكَ
Fill my heart with fearfulness from You-azwj and Make me in all of my situation aiming to You-azwj. You-azwj are my Master-azwj in every place, and even though eyes of the beholder are veiled from looking at You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكَ إِذْ جَعَلْتَ فِيَّ طَمَعاً فِيكَ لِعَفْوِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَرْحَمَ مَنْ يَسْأَلُكَ وَ هُوَ مَنْ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ بِكَمَالِ عُيُوبِهِ وَ ذُنُوبِهِ لَمْ يَبْسُطْ إِلَيْكَ يَدَهُ إِلَّا ثِقَةً بِكَ وَ لَا لِسَانَهُ إِلَّا فَرَحاً بِكَ
I ask You-azwj by You-azwj as You-azwj have Made eagerness in me regarding You-azwj for You-azwj Pardon, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Mercy the one who is asking You-azwj, and he is the one whom You-azwj know of all his defects and his sins. He does not extend his hands to You-azwj except trusting in You-azwj, nor his tongue except in happiness with You-azwj.
فَارْحَمْ مَنْ كَثُرَ ذَنْبُهُ عَلَى قِلَّتِهِ وَ قَلَّتْ ذُنُوبُهُ فِي سَعَةِ عَفْوِكَ وَ جَرَّأَنِي جُرْمِي وَ ذَنْبِي بِمَا جَعَلْتَ مِنْ طَمَعٍ إِذَا يَئِسَ الْغَرُورُ الْجَهُولُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ لِإِخْوَانِي فِيكَ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ-
Mercy the one whose sins are many upon his scarcity (of means), and scarcity of his sins in vastness of Your-azwj Pardon, and Enable me to confess my crimes and my sins with what You-azwj have Made of eagerness when the arrogance and the ignorance despair from Your-azwj Grace. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and I ask You-azwj for my brethren for Your-azwj Sake, the Pardon, the Pardon!’
ثُمَّ تَجْلِسُ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَ قُلْ يَا مَنْ هَدَانِي إِلَيْهِ وَ دَلَّنِي حَقِيقَةَ الْوُجُودِ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَاقَنِي مِنَ الْحَيْرَةِ إِلَى مَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ بَصَّرَنِي رُشْدِي بِرَأْفَتِهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْبَلْنِي عَبْداً وَ لا تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً أَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مَوْلَايَ أَنْتَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ يَا مَوْلَايَ-
Then be seated. Then do the second Sajdah and say, ‘O One Who Guided me to him-saww and Pointed me upon the realities of existence to him-saww, and Ushered me tom the confusion to recognise him-saww, and Made me insightful of my rightful guidance by his-saww kindness. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Accept me as a servant and do not Leave me alone. You-azwj are most beloved to me, my Master-azwj! You-azwj are most beloved to me O my Master-azwj!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ دَاوُدُ وَ اللَّهِ لَقَدْ حَلَفَ لِي عَلَيْهِمَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ هُوَ تُجَاهَ الْقِبْلَةِ- أَنَّهُ لَا يَنْصَرِفُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْ رَبِّهِ تَعَالَى إِلَّا مَغْفُوراً لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ قَضَاهَا.
Then Dawood said, ‘By Allah-azwj! Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws had sworn to me upon these two (Cycles of Salat) while he was facing the Qiblah that no one will leave from being in front of his Lord-azwj the Exalted, except he would be Forgiven, and if there is a need for him, He-azwj would Fulfil it’’.[287]
66 الْجَمَالُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ صَلَاةٌ كُلُّهُ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ قَامَ إِذَا ارْتَفَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَدْرَ رُمْحٍ وَ أَكْثَرَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِيمَاناً وَ احْتِسَاباً إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِائَتَيْ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ مِائَتَيْ سَيِّئَةٍ
(The book) ‘Al Jamaal’ –
‘From Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, from the Prophet-saww having said: ‘The day of Friday is Salat, all of it. There is no servant who stand when the sun rises a measurement of a spear and more, he prays two Cycles believing and anticipating, except Allah-azwj will Write for him two hundred good deeds, and Delete from him two hundred evil deeds!
وَ مَنْ صَلَّى ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ثَمَانَ مِائَةِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ غَفَرَ لَهُ ذُنُوبَهُ كُلَّهَا وَ مَنْ صَلَّى اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً كنت [كَتَبَ] اللَّهُ لَهُ أَلْفاً وَ مِائَتَيْ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مَحَا عَنْهُ أَلْفاً وَ مِائَتَيْ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ رَفَعَ لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ أَلْفاً وَ مِائَتَيْ دَرَجَةٍ
And the one who prays eight Cycles, Allah-azwj will Raise for him in the Paradise eight hundred ranks, and Forgive his sins for him, all of them; and the one who prays twelve Cycles Salat, Allah-azwj will Write for him one thousand two hundred good deeds, and Delete from him one thousand and two hundred evil deeds, and Raise for him in the Paradise one thousand and two hundred ranks’.
وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ جَلَسَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ كَانَ لَهُ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ سَبْعُونَ دَرَجَةً بُعْدُ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ حُضْرُ الْفَرَسِ الْمُضَمَّرِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً
And Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays the morning Salat on the day of Friday then sits in the Masjid until the sun emerges, there will be seventy ranks for him in Al Firdows, the distance of what is between the two ranks is a horse fattening for seventy years.
وَ مَنْ صَلَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قَرَأَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ أَوْ يُرَى لَهُ.
And the one who prays four Cycles Salat on the day of Friday, reciting in each Cycle (Surah) Al Hamd once, and (Surah) Al Tawheed fifty-one times, will not die until he sees his seat from the Paradise, or is shown to him’’.[288]
67 جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، الصَّلَاةُ الْمَعْرُوفَةُ بِالْكَامِلَةِ حَدَّثَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْغَلَابِيِّ- عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ- عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الصَّلَاةِ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ مِثْلَهَا قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ مِثْلَهَا قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ وَ مِثْلَهَا قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ مِثْلَهَا قُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ وَ مِثْلَهَا آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ
(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – ‘The Salat well-known as ‘Al Kamila’ – It is narrated by Muhammad Bin wahban, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Zakariya Al Gallaby, from Muhammad Bin Ja’far Bin Umarah, from his father,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, and from Utbah Bin Al-Zubeyr, from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays four Cycles on the day of Friday before the (Friday) Salat, reciting in each Cycle Surah Al Fatiha ten times, and similar it Surah Al Falaq, and similar to it Surah Al Naas, and similar it Surah Al Tawheed, and similar to it Surah Al Kafiroun, and similar to it Ayat Al Kursy’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى يَقْرَأُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ أُولُوا الْعِلْمِ قائِماً بِالْقِسْطِ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
And in another report, ‘Recite ten times Surah Al Qadr, and ten times: Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, and (so testify) the Angels and the ones with the knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice; there is no god except Him, the Mighty, the Wise [3:18]’.
وَ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ يَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ رَبِّي وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ-
And after his being free from the Salat, he should seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj one hundred times, and he should say, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj my Lord-azwj and I repent to Him-azwj’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى- أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ غَافِرُ الذَّنْبِ وَاسِعُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
And in another report, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, Forgiver of the sin, vast of the Forgiveness’.
وَ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ بِالدُّعَاءِ الَّذِي يَأْتِي
And he should 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, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Magnificent’, one hundred times; and he should send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww one hundred times, then he should supplicate after that with the supplication which shall come (later).
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ شَرَّ أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ شَرَّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ وَ قَضَى اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ حَاجَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ سَبْعِينَ حَاجَةً فِي الْآخِرَةِ مَقْضِيَّةً غَيْرَ مَرْدُودَةٍ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays this Salat and says this word, Allah-azwj will Raise from him evil of people of the sky, and evil of people of the earth, and evil of the Satan-la, and evil of every tyrannical ruler, and Allah-azwj will Fulfil for him seventy needs in the world and seventy needs in the Hereafter, fulfilled without rejection’.
وَ قَالَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ أَرْبَعٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ سَاعَةً يُعْتِقُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لِصَاحِبِ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ لِكَرَامَتِهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ إِنْسَانٍ قَدِ اسْتَوْجَبُوا النَّارَ مِنَ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ يُعْتِقُهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ
And he-saww said: ‘The night and the day are of twenty-four hours. Allah-azwj the Exalted, for the performer of this Salat during every hour for its prestige upon Allah-azwj, Liberates seventy thousand persons from the Unitarians having deserved the Hellfire. Allah-azwj liberates them from the Hellfire.
وَ لَوْ أَنَّ صَاحِبَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ أَتَى الْمَقَابِرَ فَدَعَا الْمَوْتَى أَجَابُوهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ لِكَرَامَتِهِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
And if a performer of this Salat comes to the graveyard and calls the deceased, they will respond to him by the Permission of Allah-azwj due to its prestige to Allah-azwj the Exalted’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ع وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ لَهُ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ يَكْتُبُونَ لَهُ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ يَدْفَعُونَ عَنْهُ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ يَرْفَعُونَ لَهُ الدَّرَجَاتِ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لَهُ وَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَمُوتَ
Then he-saww said: ‘By the One-azwj Who Sent me-saww with the truth! When the servant prays this Salat and supplicates with this supplication, Allah-azwj will Dispatch seventy thousand Angels to him. They will write the good deeds for him and repelling the evil deeds away from him, and their will raise the ranks for him, and seek Forgiveness for him, and sending Salawaat upon him until he dies.

وَ أَغْلِقْ عَنِّي أَبْوَابَ الشُّرُورِ وَ الْآثَامِ وَ الْأَحْلَامِ وَ الْأَسْقَامِ وَ الْأَوْرَامِ وَ الْأَمْرَاضِ وَ الْعِلَلِ وَ الْعَاهَاتِ وَ الْآفَاتِ وَ اللَّوَازِبِ وَ الْمَصَائِبِ وَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ الشَّدَائِدِ وَ الْكُرُبَاتِ وَ الرَّزِيَّاتِ وَ الْفَجِيعَاتِ وَ الْحَادِثَاتِ وَ الْأَذِيَّاتِ وَ الْهُمُومِ وَ الْغُمُومِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْغَدْرِ وَ الْمَكْرِ وَ الْخَتْرِ وَ الْكُفْرِ وَ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ بَلِيَّةٍ أَعْدَمُ عَلَيْهَا الصَّبْرَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And Close for me the doors of evil, sins, bad dreams, illnesses, ailments, diseases, afflictions, flaws, maladies, harms, misfortunes, disasters, calamities, adversities, troubles, sorrows, griefs, disasters, accidents, injuries, wrongdoings, anxieties, sorrows, poverty, treachery, deceit, plots, deceptions, and disbelief, and the torment of the grave, and the affliction for which patience is too little, surely You-azwj are Able upon all things.
اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ أَمَّلْتُكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي وَ رَجَوْتُكَ فَلَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي دَعْوَتُكَ يَا إِلَهِي فَلَا تَرُدَّ دُعَائِي وَ ابْتَهَلْتُ إِلَيْكَ فَلَا تُعْرِضْ عَنِّي يَا مُعْتَمَدِي وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! I have placed my hope in You-azwj, O my Master-azwj, so do not disappoint me. I have implored You-azwj, so do not cut off my supplication. I have turned to You-azwj, so do not turn me away, O the One I rely upon. I have drawn near to You -azwj through Your Prophet‑saww Muhammad-saww, and his-saww pure Progeny-asws, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and upon them-asws!
فَاقْضِ حَوَائِجَنَا صَغِيرَهَا وَ كَبِيرَهَا مَا ذَكَرْتُهُ وَ نَسِيتُهُ مِنْهَا مَا قَصَدْتُهُ أَوْ سَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا أَنْتَ أَحْصَى لِقَدْرِهِ وَ أَنْتَ أَحْصَى لِذُنُوبِي مِنِّي
Fulfil our needs, both small and large, whether I have mentioned them or forgotten, whether I intended them or erred, and You-azwj are the One who knows best. You-azwj encompass all that You-azwj have decreed, and You-azwj are more counting of all my sins more than me.
فَاغْفِرْهَا لِي يَا إِلَهِي إِنَّ ذُنُوبِي كَثِيرَةٌ وَ أَفْعَالِي سَيِّئَةٌ وَ جَرَائِرِي وَ إِجْرَامِي عَظِيمَةٌ وَ إِقْدَامِي وَ اجْتِرَائِي أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْصَى أَوْ يُعَدُّ أَوْ يُذْكَرُ أَوْ يُنْشَرُ وَ اعْتِمَادِي يَا سَيِّدِي عَلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ عَلَى مَا وَعَدْتَ بِهِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
So, Forgive it for me, O my God-azwj, for my sins are many, my deeds are evil, my violations are great, and my transgressions and crimes exceed count, mention, or publication. My reliance is upon Your-azwj Forgiveness, my Lord-azwj, and on what You-azwj have Promised of Your-azwj Grace.
فَإِنَّكَ يَا سَيِّدِي قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ- يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ- لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
O my Master-azwj! Surely You-azwj Said, and Your-azwj Word is the Truth: ‘O My servants, those who have been extravagant upon themselves! Do not despair from Mercy of Allah, surely Allah Forgives the sins altogether. Surely, He is the Forgiving, the Merciful [39:53].
فَاغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ أَخْطَأْتُ وَ تَعَمَّدْتُ وَ حَفِظْتُ وَ نَسِيتُ وَ عَلِمْتُ وَ شَهِدْتُ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَنَا شَيْءٌ فَلْتَسَعْنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
Forgive what I have done in the past and what I may do in the future, what I have concealed and what I have made known, what I have done mistakenly and what I have done intentionally, what I have remembered and what I have forgotten, what I have known and what I have witnessed. Your-azwj Mercy encompasses everything, and I am but a thing, so let Your-azwj Mercy encompass me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
مَغْفِرَتُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَعْظَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَتَفَضَّلْ بِهَا عَلَيَّ اغْفِرْ لِي يَا سَيِّدِي مَا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي يَا سَيِّدِي مَا آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي أَنْ لَا آتِيَهُ وَ تَغَمَّدْ لِي مَا أَكْذِبُ عَلَى نَفْسِي الْإِقْلَاعَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ بِهِ وَ اصْفَحْ عَمَّا جَعَلْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ وَ الْعِلَلِ وَ الْأَخْطَارِ وَ الِاضْطِرَارِ وَ الْمَرَضِ أَنْ لَا أَفْعَلَهُ فَلَمَّا أَقَلْتَ وَ أَنْهَضْتَ وَ عَافَيْتَ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنِّي وَفَاءٌ بِهِ
Your-azwj Forgiveness, O my Lord-azwj, is greater than everything, so Bestow it upon me. Forgive me, O my Lord-azwj, for what I repented of to You-azwj, and then I returned to it. Forgive me, O my Lord-azwj, for what I promised myself not to do and then did, and have Mercy on me for what I lied to myself about regarding abstaining from it during times of distress, trials, difficulties, compulsion, and illness. So, when You-azwj lessened, lifted, healed, and completed, there was no loyalty from me to it.
يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ يَا سَاتِرَ الْعُيُوبِ يَا كَاشِفَ الضُّرِّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اكْشِفْ ضُرِّي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَقِلَّ عَثْرَتِي بِعِزَّتِكَ
O Forgiver of sins, O Concealer of flaws, O Reliever of affliction from Ayoub-as, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad and his-saww Progeny-asws. Remove my distress with Your-azwj Mercy, and lessen my shortcomings with Your-azwj Might.
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وَلَدِي وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ يَخُصُّنِي الْبَرَكَةَ التَّامَّةَ وَ كُنْ لِي وَ لَهُمْ رَاحِماً وَ وَلِيّاً وَ حَافِظاً وَ نَاصِراً وَ رَازِقاً وَ مُعِيناً وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي وَدَائِعِكَ وَ أَمَانِكَ وَ حِرْزِكَ وَ حَرَاسَتِكَ وَ صِيَانَتِكَ وَ خَيْرِ مَا جَرَتْ بِهِ الْمَقَادِيرُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws. Make for me, my family, my wealth, my children, my parents, and those whom I support the complete blessings, and be compassionate and protective to me and to them, a guardian, helper, and provider. Place me in Your-azwj Trust, Safety, Preservation, and Care, and in the best of what has been decreed from You-azwj O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَا قَسَمْتَ لِي مِنْ قِسْمٍ أَوْ رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رِزْقٍ فَاجْعَلْهُ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً وَاسِعاً مُبَارَكاً قَرِيبَ الْمَطْلَبِ سَهْلَ الْمَأْخَذِ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ سَلَامَةٍ وَ سَعَادَةٍ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and whatever portion You-azwj have Decreed for me or provided for me from sustenance, make it lawful, pure, abundant, blessed, easy to attain, and taken with ease from You-azwj, with well-being, safety, and happiness. Indeed, You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَسِّعْ رِزْقِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ ثَمِّرْهُ وَ وَفِّرْهُ وَ لَا تُكَدِّرْهُ وَ لَا تُعَسِّرْهُ وَ سَهِّلْهُ وَ لَا تُنَكِّدْهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ عِنْدَكَ أَنِّي شَقِيٌّ أَوْ مَحْرُومٌ أَوْ مُقْتَرٌ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Expand my sustenance for ever, for as long as You-azwj Make me live, and Make it fruitful, abundant, and do not restrict it, nor make it difficult. Ease it and do not withhold it, even if it is written in the Mother of the Book with You-azwj that I am miserable, deprived, or restricted in my sustenance.
فَامْحُ مِنْ أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقَائِي وَ حِرْمَانِي وَ إِقْتَارِي وَ اكْتُبْنِي عِنْدَكَ سَعِيداً مُوَفَّقاً لِلْخَيْرِ مُوَسَّعاً عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَ أَنْتَ أَصْدَقُ الْقَائِلِينَ يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ
Suppress my wretchedness from Mother of the Book, and my deprivation, and my poverty, and Write me in Your-azwj Presence as fortunate, compatible for the goodness, vastness of the sustenance upon me, for You-azwj Said, and You-azwj are most truthful of the Speakers: Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39].
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيَ وَ ارْحَمْهُما كَما رَبَّيانِي صَغِيراً وَ جازِهِمَا عَنِّي بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِحْسَاناً وَ بِالسَّيِّئَاتِ غُفْرَاناً
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me and for my parents, and Mercy them just as they had nourished me when I was young, and Reward them on my behalf with the goodness for the goodness, and Forgiveness for the evil deeds.
وَ نَضِّرْ وُجُوهَهُمَا وَ أَلْحِقْهُمَا بِنَبِيِّهِمَا نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ آلِهِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ اسْقِهِمَا بِكَأْسِهِ مَشْرَباً مَاءً عَذْباً رَوِيّاً سَائِغاً هَنِيئاً- لَا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً وَ بَيِّضْ وُجُوهَهُمَا يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ فِيهِ الْوُجُوهُ-
And illuminate their faces and unite them with their Prophet-saww, the Prophet-saww of Mercy, and his-saww Progeny-asws. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and upon them-asws. Quench their thirst with his blessed cup, offering them pure, cool, refreshing, and satisfying water. They will never experience thirst again, and brighten their faces on the day when faces will be brightened.
وَ أَعْلِهِمَا وَ أَعْطِهِمَا مُنْيَتَهُمَا وَ كِتَابَهُمَا بِأَيْمَانِهِمَا وَ مَحِّصْ عَنْهُمَا سَيِّئَاتِهِمَا وَ ضَاعِفْ لَهُمَا حَسَنَاتِهِمَا وَ كُنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي لَهُمَا فَإِنَّهُمَا فَقِيرَانِ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ مُحْتَاجَانِ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ مُضْطَرَّانِ إِلَى غُفْرَانِكَ أَدْخِلْ قبورهم [قُبُورَهُمَا] الضِّيَاءَ وَ النُّورَ وَ الْفَرْحَةَ وَ السُّرُورَ وَ السَّعَةَ وَ الْحُبُورَ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْهُمَا بِقَبِيحٍ كَانَ مِنْهُمَا
Elevate them, grant them their wishes, and present their records to them with their oaths. Purge away their misdeeds, and multiply their good deeds. Be their protector, for they are in need of Your-azwj Mercy, reliant on Your forgiveness. Admit into their graves illumination, light, joy, happiness, abundance, and delight. Do not Hold them accountable for any of their imperfections.
وَ اجْعَلْهُمَا مِنْ أَهْلِ جَنَّاتِكَ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ وَ أَحِلَّهُمَا دَارَ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ- لَا يَمَسُّهُمَا فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَ لَا يَمَسُّهُمَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٌ وَ أَجِرْهُمَا مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ أَعْتِقْهُمَا مِنَ النَّارِ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمَا فِي مُسْتَقَرِّ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ قَرِّبْ مِنْ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ
Make them among the inhabitants of Your-azwj Gardens of bliss, and Grant them a dwelling place from Your-azwj bounty, wherein no fatigue shall touch them, nor will they ever be expelled from it. Deliver them from the Punishment and rescue them from the Hellfire. Bring me closer to them in the abode of Your-azwj Mercy, near Your-azwj Satisfaction and Your‑azwj Forgiveness.
وَ افْعَلْ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ بِأَجْدَادِي وَ جَدَّاتِي وَ أَعْمَامِي وَ عَمَّاتِي وَ أَخْوَالِي وَ خَالاتِي وَ أَوْلَادِي وَ أُمَّهَاتِ أَوْلَادِي وَ مَعَارِفِي وَ جِيرَانِي وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّنِي وَ رَبَّانِي وَ خَدَمَنِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَ مُحِبِّي مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
And Do similar to that with my grandfathers and my grandmothers, and my paternal uncles and my paternal aunties, and my maternal uncles and my maternal aunties, my children, and my acquaintances, and my loved ones, and my slaves, and nourishers, and ones from the believing men and the believing women who served me, the living from them and the dead, and ones loving Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may the greetings be upon him-saww and upon them-asws, surely You-azwj are Able upon all things!’
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِذَا صِرْتُ إِلَى دَارِ الْبِلَى وَ نَسِيَنِي أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِي زَائِرٌ وَ لَا ذَاكِرٌ فَكُنْ أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي مُونِسِي وَ ذَاكِرِي وَ النَّاظِرُ إِلَيَّ وَ الرَّاحِمُ لِي وَ الْغَافِرُ لِذَنْبِي وَ الصَّافِحُ عَنْ خَطِيئَاتِي وَ الْمُنَوِّرُ لِحُفْرَتِي وَ السَّاتِرُ لِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and when I come to be to the house of decays and people of the world forget me, and there does not happen to be any visitor for me nor any remembering one, then O my Master-azwj, You-azwj be my comfort and one remembering me, and the beholder to me, and the Merciful to me, and the Forgiven of my sins, and the Excuser of my sins, and the Irradiator of my grave, and the Concealer to me by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, surely You-azwj are the Forgiver, the Merciful!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ خَيْرَ غَائِبٍ أَنْتَظِرُهُ وَ الْقَبْرَ خَيْرَ بَيْتٍ سَكَنْتُهُ وَ لَقِّنِّي حُجَّتِي عِنْدَ خُرُوجِ رُوحِي وَ سَهِّلْ عَلَيَّ فِرَاقَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَرِنِي قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ رُوحِي مَا تَقَرُّ بِهِ عَيْنِي وَ اجْعَلْ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ شَفِيقاً رَفِيقاً لِي وَ عَلَيَّ مُتَحَنِّناً مُتَعَطِّفاً وَ بِي رَءُوفاً رَحِيماً:

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws and Make the death best of the unseen matters I await, and the grave as best of the houses I settle in, and Indoctrinate my arguments at the exit of my souls, and Ease for me separation from the world, and Show me before exit of my souls what my eyes can be delighted with, and Make the Angel of death a compassionate one, a friend to me, and being tender and revering upon me, and kind, merciful with me!
وَ اجْعَلْ مُنْقَلَبِي أَطْيَبَ مُنْقَلَبٍ وَ قَبْرِي أَفْسَحَ قَبْرٍ وَ اقْلِبْنِي إِلَى رِضْوَانِكَ وَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي حَطَباً لِلنَّارِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And Make my transfer best of transfers, and my grave most spacious of graves, and Transfer me to Your-azwj Satisfaction and the Paradise, and do not Make me firewood for the Hellfire, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and whatever I remember from my needs, and have forgotten it, or I had memorised it and carried it, and my tongue speaks with it or does not speak, Fulfil it for me and Grace upon me with it, and Show me in my day from signs of Your-azwj Response, and Your-azwj Acceptance what I can be joyful with in the world and the Hereafter, and Grace me the repenting before the dead, and the Protection, and the Purification from the sins, surely You-azwj are Able upon all things! ‘Our Lord!

بيان: وَ رَوَاهَا الشَّيْخُ فِي الْمُتَهَجِّدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْغَلَابِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع وَ عَنْ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ ع وَ ذَكَرَ نَحْواً مِمَّا مَرَّ مِنَ الرِّوَايَتَيْنِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ
Explanation – And the Sheykh reported it in ‘Al-Mutahajjid’, from Muhammad Bin Zakariya Al-Galiby, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Umarah, from his father, from Al-Sadiq-asws, and from Utba Bin Abu Al-Zubeyr, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws, and he mentioned approximate to it from what has passed from the two reports up to his-asws words: –
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ
‘When he is free from the Salat, he should seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj one hundred times, then he should 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, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, one hundred times, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet-saww one hundred times’.
قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ قَالَ هَذَا الْقَوْلَ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ شَرَّ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ تَمَامَ الْخَبَرِ.
He-asws said: ‘One who prays this Salat and says this word, Allah-azwj will Repel from him evil of people of the earth’ – complete Hadeeth’’.
68 جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، صَلَوَاتُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ أَبِي يَعْلَى بْنِ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ النَّيْسَابُورِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَارِثَةَ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ قَالَ: قَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَعْرَابِ فَقَالَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَ أُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا نَكُونُ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَادِيَةِ وَ لَا نَقْدِرُ أَنْ نَأْتِيَكَ فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ فَدُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ فِيهِ فَضْلُ صَلَاةِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا مَضَيْتُ إِلَى أَهْلِي خَبَّرْتُهُمْ بِهِ

‘A man from the Bedouins stood up. He said, ‘May my father and my mother be (sacrificed for) you-saww, O Rasool-Allah-saww! We tend to be in this wilderness and are not able upon coming to you-saww every Friday, so point me upon an action wherein is merit of Salat on the day of Friday, when I go back to my family, I can inform them with it’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا كَانَ ارْتِفَاعُ النَّهَارِ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي أَوَّلِ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ اقْرَأْ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ فَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘When the day rises, pray two Cycles reciting in the first Cycle Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Falaq seven times, and recite in the second Surah Al Hamd once and Surah Al Naas seven times. When you perform Salaam, recite Ayat Al Kursy seven times.
ثُمَّ قُمْ فَصَلِّ ثَمَانَ رَكَعَاتٍ بِتَسْلِيمَتَيْنِ وَ تَجْلِسُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا وَ لَا تُسَلِّمْ فَإِذَا تَمَّمْتَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتِ الْأُخَرِ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ الْأَوَّلَ وَ اقْرَأْ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ إِذَا جَاءَ نَصْرُ اللَّهِ وَ الْفَتْحُ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً
Then stand, pray eight Cycles with two Salaam(s) and be seated in every two Cycles from it, and do not perform Salaam, then complete the other four Cycles like what you had prayed the first, and recite in each Cycle Surah Al Hamd once and Surah Al Fat’h once, and Surah Al Tawheed twenty-five times.
فَإِذَا أَتْمَمْتَ ذَلِكَ تَشَهَّدْتَ وَ سَلَّمْتَ وَ دَعَوْتَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ هُوَ
When you have completed that perform Tashahhud, and Salaam, and supplicate with this supplication seven times, and it is: –
يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ اذْكُرْ حَاجَتَكَ
‘O Living, O Eternal, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O God of the former ones and the latter ones, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, O Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and being Merciful to them! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Lord! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad and his-saww Progeny-asws and Forgive for me!’ – mention your need.
وَ قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ-
And say, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ – seventy times, and ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the Honourable Throne!’
فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي وَ اصْطَفَانِي بِالْحَقِّ مَا مِنْ مُؤْمِنٍ وَ لَا مُؤْمِنَةٍ يُصَلِّي هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ كَمَا أَقُولُ إِلَّا وَ أَنَا ضَامِنٌ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ حَتَّى يُغْفَرَ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ لِأَبَوَيْهِ ذُنُوبُهُمَا
By the One Who Sent me-saww and Chose me-saww with the Truth! There is neither a believing man nor a believing woman praying this Salat on the day of Friday just as I-saww have said, except and I-saww would guarantee the Paradise for him, and he will not stand from his place until his sins are Forgiven for him, and for his parents of their sins.
وَ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى ثَوَابَ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي أَمْصَارِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ كَتَبَ لَهُ أَجْرَ مَنْ صَامَ وَ صَلَّى فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ فِي مَشَارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا وَ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَ لَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ.
And Allah-azwj the Exalted will Give him Rewards of the one who had prayed during that that in cities of the Muslims, and Write for him Recompense of the ones who fast and pray during that day in easts of the earth and its wests, and Allah-azwj will Give him what neither an eye has seen nor an ear has heard!’’[290]
الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، صَلَاةُ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ وَ ذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْساً وَ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَوَاتِكَ فَقُلْ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ بَعْضَ مَا مَرَّ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ.
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – ‘Salat Al A’raby’ – from Zayd Bin Sabit,
‘And he mentioned approximate to it up to his-saww words: ‘And Surah Al Tawheed twenty-five times.
