CHAPTER 98 – OPTIONAL (SALATS) OF DAY OF FRIDAY, AND ITS ORDER, AND ITS METHOD, AND ITS SUPPLICATION

1- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا، ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي نَوَافِلَ الْجُمُعَةِ عَلَى مَا وَرَدَتْ بِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ تُصَلِّي سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بُكْرَةً وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَهَا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ثَمَانَ عَشْرَةَ وَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ وَ يَنْبَغِي أَنْ تَدْعُوَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالدُّعَاءِ الْمَرْوِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ بَيْنَ الرَّكَعَاتِ الدُّعَاءُ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأَوَّلَتَيْنِ

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – and others,

‘Then pray the option (Salat) of the Friday based upon what has been referred in the report from Al-Reza^-asws having said: ‘You should pray six Cycles early morning, and six Cycles after it, being twelve Cycles, and six Cycles after that, being eighteen Cycles at the midday; and it is befitting to supplicate between every two Cycles with the supplication as reported from Ali^‑asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, he^-asws used to supplicate with it between the two Cycles, the supplication after the two first Cycles: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِكَ مِنْكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَثِقْ إِلَّا بِكَ يَا وَاهِبَ الْعَطَايَا يَا مَنْ سَمَّى نَفْسَهُ مِنْ جُودِهِ الْوَهَّابَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the sanctity of the one who seeks Refuge with You^-azwj from You^‑azwj, and shelters to Your^-azwj Mighty, and holds on to Your^-azwj Rope, and does not trust except with You^-azwj! O Benefactor of the awards! O One Who has Named Himself^-azwj due to His^-azwj Generousity as ‘The Benefactor’! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^‑asws Muhammad^-saww, the satisfied, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and the Greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^‑asws, and upon their^-asws souls, and their^-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ارْزُقْنِي حَلَالًا طَيِّباً مِمَّا شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا شِئْتَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ كَمَا شِئْتَ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make relief and an outlet for me in my affairs, Permissible, goodly, from whatever You^-azwj Desire, for it cannot happen except what You^-azwj Desire, wherever You^-azwj Desires, like what You^-azwj Desire!’

زِيَادَةٌ فِي هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ مِنْ رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى اللَّهُمَّ قَلْبِي يَرْجُوكَ لِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ نَفْسِي تَخَافُكَ لِشِدَّةِ عِقَابِكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَنِي مَكْرَكَ وَ تُعَافِيَنِي مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَاءِ طَاعَتِكَ وَ تَفَضَّلَ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ تَسُرَّنِي بِسَعَةِ فَضْلِكَ عَنِ التَّذَلُّلِ لِعِبَادِكَ وَ تَرْحَمَنِي مِنْ خَيْبَةِ الرَّدِّ وَ سَفْعِ نَارِ الْحِرْمَانِ-

There is an increase in this supplication from another report – ‘O Allah^-azwj! My heart is hoping for vastness of Your^-azwj Mercy, and my soul is fearing You^-azwj due to severity of Your^-azwj Punishment. I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Secure me from Your^-azwj Plan, and Excuse me from Your^-azwj Wrath, and Make me from friends obeying You^-azwj, and Grace upon me with Your^-azwj Mercy, and Cheer me with vastness of Your^-azwj Grace from humbling to worship You^-azwj, and Mercy me from disappointment of rejection, and the burning fire of deprivation!’

ثُمَّ تَقُومُ وَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا عَصَيْتُكَ وَ اجْتَرَأْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا وَأَيْتُ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ لَمْ أَفِ بِهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِلْمَعَاصِي الَّتِي قَوِيتُ عَلَيْهَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ مَا خَالَطَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ وَ أَنَا أَنَا

Then you should stand and pray two Cycles and say – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Just as I have disobeyed You^-azwj and was audacious upon You^-azwj, I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for what I had repented to You^-azwj from then I had returned into it and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for what I had sworn upon myself and was not loyal with it, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for the disobedience which I was strengthened upon it by Your^-azwj bounties, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for all of the good deeds I had intended mingling what wasn’t for You^-azwj. Surely You^-azwj are You^-azwj and I am me!

زِيَادَةٌ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَظِّمِ النُّورَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ صَغِّرِ الدُّنْيَا فِي عَيْنِي وَ احْبِسْ لِسَانِي بِذِكْرِكَ عَنِ النُّطْقِ بِمَا لَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ اخرس [احْرُسْ‏] نَفْسِي مِنَ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ اكْفِنِي طَلَبَ مَا قَدَّرْتَ لِي عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى أَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي عِبَادِكَ-

Additionally, O Allah^-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-asws, and Magnify the Noor in my heart, and Belittle the world in my eyes, and Withhold my tongue with Your^-azwj Zikr from the speaking with what does not Satisfy You^-azwj, and Guard my soul from the lustful desires and Suffice me to seek what You^-azwj have Pre-determined for me in Your^-azwj Presence until I can be needless with it from what is in hands of Your^-azwj servants!

ثُمَّ تَقُومُ وَ تُصَلِّي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الثَّالِثَةَ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ ذُو النُّونِ‏ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ‏ تَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنادى‏ فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ‏

Then you should stand and pray the third two Cycles and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I supplicate to You^‑azwj and ask you^-azwj with what Zul Noun (Yunus^-as) had asked You^-azwj: And the one with the whale (Yunus), when he went away in anger, so he thought that We will never be Able upon him, and he called out in the darkness that: ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87].

فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ

You^-azwj Responded to him^-as, for he^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant, and I am supplicating to You^-azwj and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^-as had asked You^‑azwj and I am asking You^-azwj, so Relieve from me just as You^-azwj had Relieved from him^-as!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ أَيُّوبُ إِذْ مَسَّهُ الضُّرُّ فَنَادَى‏ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ الضُّرُّ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏ فَفَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ

And I supplicate to You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, with what Ayoun^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj with men the harm touched him^-as, so He^-saww called out: ‘I am touched by the harm and You are the most Merciful of the merciful ones’ [21:83], so You^-azwj Relieved from him^-as. He^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant, and I am supplicating to You^-azwj and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^-as had asked You^-azwj and I am asking You^-azwj, so Relieve from me just as You^-azwj had Relieved from him!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ يُوسُفُ إِذْ فَرَّقْتَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ وَ إِذْ هُوَ فِي السِّجْنِ فَفَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ

And I am supplicating to You^-azwj with what Yusuf^-as have supplicated to You^-azwj with when You^-azwj Separated between him^-as and his^-as family, and when he^-as was in the prison, so You^‑azwj Relieve from him, for he^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant, and I am supplicating to You^-azwj and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^-as had asked You^-asws and I am asking You^-azwj, so Respond to me just as You^-azwj had Responded to him^-as, and Relieve from me just as You^-azwj had Relieved from him^-as!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّونَ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ دَعَوْكَ وَ هُمْ عَبِيدُكَ وَ سَأَلُوكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ أَنْ تُفَرِّجَ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ‏ زِيَادَةٌ

And I supplicate to You^-azwj O Allah^-azwj, and I ask You^-azwj with what the Prophets^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj with, so You^-azwj Responded to them, for they^-as had supplicated to You^‑azwj and they^-as were Your^-azwj servants, and they^-as had asked You^-azwj and I am asking You^‑azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and to Bless upon them^-as with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and to Relieve from me just as You^-azwj had Relieved from Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Your^-azwj Messengers^-as and Your^-azwj righteous servants additionally!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَغْنِنِي بِالْيَقِينِ وَ أَعِنِّي بِالتَّوَكُّلِ وَ اكْفِنِي رَوْعَاتِ الْقُنُوطِ وَ افْسَحْ لِي فِي انْتِظَارِ جَمِيلِ الصُّنْعِ وَ افْتَحْ لِي بَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْخَشْيَةِ مِنْكَ وَ الْوَجَلِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ الدُّعَاءَ وَ صِلْهُ مِنْكَ بِالْإِجَابَةِ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Assist me with the certainty, and Assist me with the reliance, and Suffice me with fears of despair, and Open for me the doors of Mercy to You^-azwj and being fearful from You^-azwj, and the trepidation from the sins, and Cause the supplication to be beloved to me, and Connect it from You^-azwj with the Response!’

ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي الْفَانِي لِوَجْهِكَ الدَّائِمِ الْبَاقِي سَجَدَ وَجْهِي مُتَعَفِّراً فِي التُّرَابِ لِخَالِقِهِ وَ حَقٌّ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِمَنْ خَلَقَهُ وَ صَوَّرَهُ وَ شَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَ بَصَرَهُ

Then fall in prostration and say in your Sajdah, ‘I prostrate my decaying face, the perishable, to Your^-azwj Permanent Face, the permanent, the remaining! I prostrate my face rubbing in the soil to its Creator, and He^-azwj is rightful for it that He^-azwj should be prostrated to by my face doing Sajdah to the One Who Created it, and Imaged it, and Split its hearing and its sight.

تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْحَقِيرُ الذَّلِيلُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْعَزِيزِ الْكَرِيمِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ اللَّئِيمُ الذَّلِيلُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَلِيلِ-

Blessed is Allah^-azwj most excellent of the creators! I prostrate my lowly humble face to Your^‑azwj Mighty Honourable Face! I prostrate my blameful disgraceful face to Your^-azwj Honourable Majestic Face!’

ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلِ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ النَّصِيحَةَ فِي صَدْرِي وَ ذِكْرَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى لِسَانِي وَ مِنْ طَيِّبِ رِزْقِكَ يَا رَبِّ غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ وَ لَا مَحْظُورٍ فَارْزُقْنِي وَ مِنْ ثِيَابِ الْجَنَّةِ فَاكْسُنِي وَ مِنْ حَوْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَاسْقِنِي وَ مِنْ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ فَأَجِرْنِي

Then raise your head and supplicate with this supplication – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Make the Noor to be in my sight, and the certainty in my heart, and the good advice in my chest, and Your^-azwj by the night and the day upon my tongue, and from Your^-azwj goodly sustenance O Lord^-azwj, without restrictions, nor forbidden, so Grace me, and from the clothes of Paradise, Clothe me, and from the Fountain of Muhammad^-saww, Quench me, and from dilemmas of Fitna, Shelter me!

وَ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ فِي نَفْسِي فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ فَحَبِّبْنِي وَ بِذُنُوبِي فَلَا تَفْضَحْنِي وَ بِسَرِيرَتِي فَلَا تُخْزِنِي وَ بِعَمَلِي فَلَا تُبْسِلْنِي وَ غَضَبَكَ فَلَا تُنْزِلْ بِي

And for You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, regarding myself, Humble me and in eyes of the people, Magnify me, and to you^-azwj O Lord^-azwj, Cause me to be Loved and do not Expose me due to my sins, and due to my secrets do not Disgrace me, and due to my actions do not Stripe me, and do not Send down Your^-azwj Wrath to me!

أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ غُرْبَتِي وَ بُعْدَ دَارِي وَ طُولَ أَمَلِي وَ اقْتِرَابَ أَجَلِي وَ قِلَّةَ مَعْرِفَتِي فَنِعْمَ الْمُشْتَكَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي يَا رَبَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ إِلَى عَدُوٍّ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي أَوْ إِلَى بَعِيدٍ فَيَتَجَهَّمَنِي

I complain to you^-azwj of my estrangement, and remoteness of my house, and lengthiness of my wishes, and nearness of my death, and scarcity of my recognition! Best of the complained to, are you^-azwj O Lord^-azwj, and (I complain) from evil of the Jinn and the human beings submitting me to the one who will uproot me, O Lord^-azwj of the weak, to an enemy who is control my affairs or to remoteness so he will attack me!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَعِيشَةِ مَعِيشَةً أَقْوَى بِهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ حَاجَاتِي وَ أَتَوَصَّلُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ فِي حَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ فِي آخِرَتِي مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُتْرِفَنِي فِيهَا فَأَطْغَى أَوْ تُقَتِّرَهَا عَلَيَّ فَأَشْقَى وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَلَالِ رِزْقِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for the best life, a life I can be strengthened with upon entirety of my needs, and I can make a means with it to You^-azwj in life of the world, and in my Hereafter from without Making me affluent so I would be tyrannical, or Impoverishing, me so I would be miserable, and Expand upon me from Your^-azwj Permissible sustenance, and Pour upon me from Your^-azwj Grace from wherever You^-azwj Desire!

وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ نِعْمَةً مِنْكَ سَابِغَةً وَ عَطَاءً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ بِإِكْثَارٍ مِنْهَا تُلْهِينِي عَجَائِبُ بَهْجَتِهِ وَ تَفْتِنُنِي زَهَرَاتُ نَضْرَتِهِ وَ لَا بِإِقْلَالٍ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا فَيَقْصُرَ بِعَمَلِي كَدُّهُ وَ يَمْلَأَ صَدْرِي هَمُّهُ

And Sprinkle upon me from Your^-azwj Mercy and Send down from Your^-azwj Blessings, plentiful bounties from You^-azwj and award without restrictions, and do not let me be pre-occupied from thanking for Your^-azwj bounties upon me due to a lot of these, distracting me by wonders of its attractions and blossoms of its freshness, and not by reducing upon me from these so its toil will cut short my acts of worship and my chest would be filled with its worries!

وَ أَعْطِنِي‏ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا إِلَهِي غِنًى عَنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ بَلَاغاً أَنَالُ بِهِ رِضْوَانَكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا لِي سِجْناً وَ لَا فِرَاقَهَا عَلَيَّ حُزْناً أَجِرْنِي مِنْ فِتْنَتِهَا مَرْضِيّاً عَنِّي مَقْبُولًا فِيهَا عَمَلِي إِلَى دَارِ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ مَسَاكِنِ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ أَبْدِلْنِي بِالدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ نَعِيمَ الدَّارِ الْبَاقِيَةِ

And O my God^-azwj, Give me needlessness from evil ones of Your^-azwj creatures, and extensiveness I can reach Your^-azwj Satisfaction by it; and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj, O my God^-azwj, from evil of the world and evil of its people, and evil of whatever is in it, and do not Make the world a prison for me nor separation from it as grief upon me. Shelter me from its Trials as satisfactory from me, my deeds being Acceptable in it, to the house of ever-lasting life, and dwelling of the good people, and Replace this perishable world for me with bounties of the every-lasting house!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَزْلِهَا وَ زِلْزَالِهَا وَ سَطَوَاتِ سُلْطَانِهَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِهَا وَ بَغْيِ مَنْ بَغَى عَلَيَّ فِيهَا

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from its decline, and its tremors, and the whips of its rulers, and from evil of its Satan(s)^-la, and rebellion of the one who rebels against me in it!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ كَادَنِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ كِدْهُ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَرِدْهُ وَ فُلَّ عَنِّي حَدَّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لِي حَدَّهُ وَ أَطْفِئْ عَنِّي نَارَ مَنْ شَبَّ لِي وَقُودَهُ

One who plots against me, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Plan against him, and the one who intends me, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Intend him, and Defend on my behalf from the punishment of the one who instals his punishment to me, and Extinguish on my behalf fire of the one who ignites it for me!

وَ اكْفِنِي هَمَّ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيَّ هَمَّهُ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي شَرَّ الْحَسَدَةِ وَ اعْصِمْنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي دِرْعَكَ الْحَصِينَةَ وَ اجْنُنِي فِي سِتْرِكَ الْوَاقِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي حَالِي لِلَمِّ عِيَالِي وَ صَدِّقْ مَقَالِي بِفَعَالِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَالِي

And Suffice me of the worries of the one who enters his worries upon me, and Repel from me evil of the envious, and Protect me from that with the tranquillity, and Clothe me Your^-azwj Fortified shield, and Shield me in Your secret Safety, and Rectify my state for me to raise my dependants, and ratify my words with my actions, and Bless for me in my wife and my children and my wealth!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ قَصَدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي وَ قَرَعَتْ بَابَ فَضْلِكَ يَدُ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ نَاجَاكَ بِخُشُوعِ الِاسْتِكَانَةِ قَلْبِي وَ عَلِمْتَ مَا يَحْدُثُ مِنْ طَلِبَتِي قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْطُرَ بِفِكْرِي أَوْ يَقَعَ فِي صَدْرِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ صِلِ اللَّهُمَّ دُعَائِي إِيَّاكَ بِإِجَابَتِي وَ اشْفَعْ مَسْأَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ بِنُجْحِ حَوَائِجِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ-

O Allah^-azwj, and I have aimed with my needs to You^-azwj and have knocked the door of Your^‑azwj Grace with the hand of my request with fearfulness of the submission of my heart, and You^‑azwj Know what had occurred from my seeking before it occurs in my thoughts, or occurs in my chest, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and O Allah^-azwj Connect my supplication by Answering me and Intercede by Your^-azwj Granting my request, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَهُمَا يَا مَنْ أَرْجُوهُ لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ آمَنُ سَخَطَهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ عَثْرَةٍ يَا مَنْ يُعْطِي الْكَثِيرَ بِالْقَلِيلِ يَا مَنْ أَعْطَى مَنْ سَأَلَهُ تَحَنُّناً مِنْهُ وَ رَحْمَةً يَا مَنْ أَعْطَى مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْهُ وَ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْهُ وَ كَرَماً

Then pray two Cycles and say after these, ‘O One to Whom I hope for every good, and safety from His^-azwj Wrath during every stumble! O One who Give a lot for the little! O One Who Give to the one who asks Him^-azwj Conferment from Him^-azwj and Mercy! O One Who Give the one who does not ask Him^-azwj and does not recognise Him^-azwj, as Grace from Him^-azwj and Benevolence!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي بِمَسْأَلَتِي إِيَّاكَ جَمِيعَ سُؤْلِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَنْقُوصٍ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Grant me my request to You^-azwj entirety of my requests, from entirety of goodness of the world and the Hereafter, for it will not reduce whatever You^-azwj Give, and Turn away from me evil of the world and the Hereafter!

وَ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ لَا يُمَنُّ عَلَيْكَ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الْجُودِ وَ الطَّوْلِ وَ النِّعَمِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ اكْفِنِي جَمِيعَ الْمُهِمِّ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ-

O One with the Conferment and no one confers upon You^-azwj! O with the Conferment, and the Generousity, and the Leniency, and the bounties! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Grant me my request and Suffice me of entirety of the important matters from matters of the world and the Hereafter!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ بَعْدَهُمَا يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ لَا مَنَّ عَلَيْكَ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ ظَهْرَ اللَّاجِئِينَ وَ جَارَ الْمُسْتَجِيرِينَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ عِنْدَكَ أَنِّي شَقِيٌّ أَوْ مَحْرُومٌ أَوْ مُقْتَرٌ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي فَامْحُ مِنْ أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقَائِي وَ حِرْمَانِي وَ إِقْتَارَ رِزْقِي وَ اكْتُبْنِي عِنْدَكَ سَعِيداً مُوَفَّقاً لِلْخَيْرِ مُوَسَّعاً عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي

Then pray two Cycles and say after these, ‘O with the Conferment, there being no conferment upon You^-azwj! O with the Leniency! There is no god except You^-azwj! O Security of the fearful and Support of the refuge seekers, and Shelter of the shelter seekers! If I am miserable in Mother of the Book in Your^-azwj Possession, or deprived, or my sustenance is restricted upon me, then Suppress my wretchedness from Mother of the Book, and my deprivation, and restriction of my sustenance, and Write me with You^-azwj as fortunate, compatible to the good, with vastness in my sustenance upon me.

فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ ص‏ يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ‏ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ‏ وَ قُلْتَ‏ وَ رَحْمَتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ أَنَا شَيْ‏ءٌ فَلْتَسَعْنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Surely You^-azwj Said in Your^-azwj Book Revealed upon Your^-azwj Messenger Prophet^-as: Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39], and You^-azwj Said: and My Mercy Extends to all things”. [7:156], and I am a thing, so let Your^-azwj Mercy include me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ وَ التَّسْلِيمِ لِأَمْرِكَ وَ الرِّضَا بِقَدَرِكَ حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Confer upon me with the relying upon You^-azwj and the submission to Your^-azwj Commands, and the satisfaction with Your^-azwj Pre-determination until I don’t love the hastening of what You^-azwj have Delayed nor the delaying of what You^-azwj have Hastened, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[1]

2- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، رُوِيَ فِي دُعَاءِ صَلَاةِ نَوَافِلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ لِمَنْ يُقَدِّمُهَا قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ رِوَايَةٌ يُقَارِبُ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةَ لَكِنَّهَا أَخْصَرُ أَلْفَاظاً فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَ الِابْتِهَالِ وَ نَحْنُ نَذْكُرُهَا الْآنَ بِإِسْنَادِهَا وَ أَلْفَاظِهَا كَمَا وَقَفْنَا عَلَيْهَا بِحَيْثُ إِنْ كَانَ وَقْتُ الْإِنْسَانِ ضَيِّقاً قَبْلَ زَوَالِ نَهَارِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ عَقِيبَ صَلَاةِ نَافِلَتِهِ بِالْأَدْعِيَةِ الْمُشَارِ إِلَيْهَا فَيَدْعُو بَيْنَ الرَّكَعَاتِ بِهَذِهِ الْأَدْعِيَةِ الْمُخْتَصَرَاتِ

(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – It is reported in a supplication of an optional Salat on the day of Friday for the one who advances it before the midday, a report near to this report, but it is of shorter wording in the supplication and the imploring, and we are mentioning it now by its chain and its wording just as we had paused upon it whereby it the time of the person was restrictive before midday at daytime on the day of Friday from the supplicating as follow-up of his optional (Salat) with the supplication indicating to it, he should supplicate between the two Cycles with this brief supplication.

فَهَذَا كُلُّهُ أَوْرَدْنَاهُ احْتِيَاطاً لِتَحْصِيلِ الْعَمَلِ بِالْعِبَادَاتِ وَ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةُ حَدَّثَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ الْعَلَوِيُّ الْمُحَمَّدِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحُسَيْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْكَاتِبِ عَنْ أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْهَمْدَانِيِّ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَبِي يَحْيَى الصَّنْعَانِيِّ

So this, all of it, we are referring as a precaution for achieving the deeds with the acts of worship and this report has been narrated by Abu Al Husayn Zayd Bin Ja’far Al Alawy Al Muhammadi, from Abu Al Husayn Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed the scribe, from Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Saeed Al Hamdany Ibn Uqdah, from Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Al Munzir Bin Abdullah Al Himeyri, from his father, from Amro Bin Sabit, from Abu Yahya Al San’any,

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يُصَلِّي يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً يَدْعُو بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِدُعَاءٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْأَدْعِيَةِ وَ يُوَاظِبُ عَلَيْهِ فَكَانَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ يَقُولُ‏

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir^-asws having said: ‘My^-asws father Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws was praying Salat on the day of Friday of twenty Cycles, supplicating between every two Cycles with a supplication from these supplications, and he was persistent upon it. He^-asws supplicated two Cycles and when he^-asws had performed Salaam, he^-asws said:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَثِقْ إِلَّا بِكَ يَا وَهَّابَ الْعَطَايَا يَا مُطْلِقَ الْأُسَارَى يَا مَنْ سَمَّى نَفْسَهُ مِنْ جُودِهِ الْوَهَّابَ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the sanctity of the one seeking Refuge with You^-azwj and sheltering to Your^-azwj Mighty, and holding to Your^-azwj rope, and does not trust except with You^-azwj! O Bestower of the awards! O Freer of the prisoners! O One Who Named Himself^-azwj from His^‑azwj Generousity as ‘The Bestower’!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the satisfactory, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and the Greetings be upon them^-asws and upon their^-asws souls and their^-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ارْزُقْنِي حَلَالًا طَيِّباً سَائِغاً مِمَّا شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا مَا شِئْتَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make relief and outlet be for me from my affairs and Grace me sustenance which is Permissible, good, abundant, from whatever You^-azwj Desires, and however You^-azwj Desire, and whenever You^-azwj Desire. Surely nothing can happen except what You^-azwj Desire, wherever You^-azwj Desire!’

ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا عَصَيْتُكَ وَ اجْتَرَأْتُ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا وَأَيْتُ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِهِ

Then he should stand and pray two Cycles of Salat. When he has performed Salaam he should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Just as I had disobeyed You^-azwj and was audacious upon You^-azwj, so I hereby seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for what I had repented to You^-azwj from, then I returned into it, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for what I had sworn with upon myself then was not loyal to You^‑azwj with it.

وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِلْمَعَاصِي الَّتِي قَوِيتُ عَلَيْهَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ مَا خَالَطَنِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ فَأَنْتَ أَنْتَ وَ أَنَا أَنَا-

And I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for my disobedience which I had been strengthened upon by Your^-azwj bounties, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for all what I had mingled (others) in every good deed I had intended Your^-azwj Gace by it. So, You^-azwj are You^-azwj, and I am me!’

ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ ذُو النُّونِ‏ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ‏ تَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنادى‏ فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

Then he should stand and pray two Cycles. When he has performed Salaam he should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj with what Zul Noon (Yunus^-as) had asked You^-azwj And the one with the whale (Yunus), when he went away in anger, so he thought that We will never be Able upon him, and he called out in the darkness that: ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87].

‏ فَفَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي يَا رَبِّ كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ

You^-azwj Relieved from him^-as for he^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj, and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^-as had asked You^-azwj and I am asking You^-azwj, so Relieve from me, O Lord^-azwj, like what You^-azwj had Relieved from him^-saww!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ أَيُّوبُ إِذْ مَسَّهُ الضُّرُّ فَفَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي يَا رَبِّ كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ

And I supplicate to You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, with what Ayoub^-as had supplicated with when the harm touched him^-as, so You^-azwj Relieved from him^-as. He^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj and he^‑as was Your^-azwj servant and I am supplicating to You^-azwj and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^‑as had asked You^-azwj, and I am asking You^-azwj, therefore Relieve from me, O Lord^-azwj like what You^-azwj had Relieved from him^-as!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ يُوسُفُ إِذْ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهِ إِذْ هُوَ فِي السِّجْنِ فَفَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ دَعَاكَ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ

And I supplicate to You^-azwj with what Yusuf^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj with when there was separation between him^-as and his^-as family when he^-as was in the prison, so You^-azwj Relieved from him^-as! He^-as had supplicated to You^-azwj and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant, and I am supplicating to You^-azwj and I am Your^-azwj servant, and he^-as had asked You^-azwj and I am asking You^-azwj!

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ أَنْ تُفَرِّجَ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ:

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww with best of Your^‑azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and Relieve from me like what You^-azwj had Relieved from Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Your^-azwj Messengers^-as, and Your^-azwj righteous servants!’

ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي الْفَانِي لِوَجْهِكَ الدَّائِمِ الْبَاقِي الْكَرِيمِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي مُتَعَفِّراً فِي التُّرَابِ لِخَالِقِهِ وَ حَقٌّ لَهُ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِمَنْ خَلَقَهُ وَ صَوَّرَهُ وَ شَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَ بَصَرَهُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْحَقِيرُ الذَّلِيلُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْكَبِيرِ الْجَلِيلِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ اللَّئِيمُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْعَزِيزِ الْكَرِيمِ-

Then fall into prostration and say in your Sajdah, ‘I prostrate my decaying face, the perishable, to Your^-azwj Face the permanent, the remaining, the Honourable! My face does Sajdah rubbing in the soil to its Creator, and there is right for Him^-azwj my face prostrates in Sajdah to the One Who Created it, and Imaged it, and Split its hearing and its sight! Blessed is Allah^-azwj, most Excellent of the creators! My lowly disgraceful face prostrate to Your^-azwj Great, Majestic Face! My dishonourable face prostrates to Your^-azwj Mighty, Benevolent Face!’

ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ النَّصِيحَةَ فِي صَدْرِي وَ ذِكْرَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى لِسَانِي

The raise your head and supplicate with this supplication: – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Make the Noor to be in my sight, and the certainty in my heart, and the good advice in my chest, and Your^-azwj Zikr at night and day to be upon my tongue!

وَ مِنْ طَيِّبِ رِزْقِكَ يَا رَبِّ غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ وَ لَا مَحْذُورٍ فَارْزُقْنِي وَ مِنْ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ فَأَجِرْنِي وَ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ فِي نَفْسِي فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ إِلَيْكَ فَحَبِّبْنِي وَ بِذُنُوبِي فَلَا تَفْضَحْنِي وَ بِسَرِيرَتِي فَلَا تُخْزِنِي وَ غَضَبَكَ فَلَا تُنْزِلْ بِي

And from Your^-azwj goodly sustenance without restrictions nor caution, O Lord^-azwj Grace me, and from the dilemmas of Fitna O Lord^-azwj Shelter me, and for You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj within myself Humble me, and in eyes of the people Magnify me, and to You^-azwj Cause me to be Beloved, and due to my sins do not expose me, and with my secrets do not Disgrace me, and Your^-azwj Wrath do not let it befall me!

أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ غُرْبَتِي وَ بُعْدَ دَارِي وَ طُولَ أَمَلِي وَ اقْتِرَابَ أَجَلِي وَ قِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي فَنِعْمَ الْمُشْتَكَى إِلَيْهِ أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَسَلِّمْنِي إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي يَا رَبِّ إِلَى الْمُسْتَضْعِفِينَ لِي أَمْ إِلَى عَدُوٍّ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي أَوْ إِلَى بَعِيدٍ فَيَتَجَهَّمَنِي

I complain to You^-azwj of my estrangement and remoteness of my house, and lengthiness of my wishes, and nearness of my death, and scarcity of my means! The best of the ones complained to are You^-azwj my Lord^-azwj, and Protect me from the evil of Jinn and humans. Grant me safety with the one You^-azwj Entrust me to, O Lord^-azwj, whether it be to the weak who has concern for me, or to an enemy over whom You^-azwj have Empowered over my affairs, or to one who is distant and will act kindly towards me.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَعِيشَةِ مَعِيشَةً أَقْوَى بِهَا عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ أَبْلُغُ بِهَا جَمِيعَ حَاجَاتِي وَ أَتَوَصَّلُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُتْرِفَنِي فِيهَا فَأَطْغَى أَوْ تُقْتِرَهَا عَلَيَّ فَأَشْقَى وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَلَالِ رِزْقِكَ وَ أَفِضْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask you^-azwj for the best life, a life I can be strengthened with upon obeying You^‑azwj and can reach entirety of my needs by it, and I can connect to You^-azwj by it in life of the world and in the Hereafter from without enriching me (too much) in it so I would rebel, or (too much) impoverishment upon me so I would be miserable, and Expand upon me from Your^-azwj Permissible sustenance, and Pour upon me from wherever You^-azwj Desire from Your^‑azwj, and Sprinkle upon me from Your^-azwj Mercy.

وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ نِعْمَةً مِنْكَ سَابِغَةً وَ عَطَاءً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ بِإِكْثَارٍ مِنْهَا تُلْهِينِي عَجَائِبُ بَهْجَتِهِ وَ تَفْتِنُنِي زَهَرَاتُ نَضْرَتِهِ وَ لَا بِإِقْلَالٍ عَلَيَّ مِنْهَا يَقْصُرُ بِعَمَلِي كَدُّهُ وَ يَمْلَأُ صَدْرِي هَمُّهُ أَعْطِنِي يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ غِنًى عَنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ بَلَاغاً أَنَالُ بِهِ رِضْوَانَكَ

And Send down upon me from Your Blessings bounties from You^-azwj which are abundant, and awards without restriction, and do not let me be pre-occupied from thanking for Your^-azwj bounties upon me due to the abundance from these, the wonders of its joy distracting me and blossoms of its freshness fascinating me, nor with littleness from it upon me so its toil would cut short my deeds, and my chest will be filled with its worries. O my God^-azwj! Grant me from that needlessness from evil ones of Your^-azwj creatures, and extensiveness I can achieve Your^-azwj Satisfaction by it!

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا لِي سِجْناً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِرَاقَهَا عَلَيَّ حُزْناً أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ فِتْنَتِهَا وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِي مَقْبُولًا وَ أَوْرِدْنِي دَارَ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ مَسَاكِنَ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ أَبْدِلْنِي بِالدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ نَعِيمَ الدَّارِ الْبَاقِيَةِ

And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj, O my God^-azwj, from evil of the world and evil of its people, and evil of what is in it, and do not Make the world a prison for me, and do not Make its separation as grief upon me!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَزْلِهَا وَ زِلْزَالِهَا وَ سَطَوَاتِ سُلْطَانِهَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِهَا وَ بَغْيِ مَنْ بَغَى فِيهَا إِلَهِي مَنْ كَادَنِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كِدْهُ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَرِدْهُ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from its slips and its tremors, and whips of its rulers, and from evil of its Satan(s)^-la, and rebellion of the ones rebelling in it. My God^-azwj!

And Defend on my behalf from the punishment of the one who instals his punishment to me, and Extinguish on my behalf fire of the one who ignites it for me! And Suffice me of the worries of the one who enters his worries upon me, and Repel from me evil of the envious, and Protect me from that with the tranquillity, and Clothe me Your^-azwj Fortified shield, and Shield me in Your secret Safety, and Rectify my state for me to raise my dependants, and ratify my words with my actions, and Bless for me in my family and my wealth!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ-

And he should pray two Cycles Salat then say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Magnify the Noor in my heart and Belittle the world in my eyes, and Free my tongue for doing Your^-azwj Zikr and Guard my soul from the lustful desires, and Suffice me from seeking what You^-azwj have Pre-determined for me with You^-azwj until I become needless from what is in the hands of Your^-azwj servants, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ أَغْنِنِي بِالْيَقِينِ وَ اكْفِنِي بِالتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ وَ اكْفِنِي رَوْعَاتِ الْقُلُوبِ وَ افْتَحْ لِي فِي انْتِظَارِ جَمِيلِ الصُّنْعِ وَ افْتَحْ لِي يَا رَبِّ بَابَ الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْخَشْيَةِ مِنْكَ وَ الْوَجَلِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ الدُّعَاءَ وَ صِلْهُ لِي بِالْإِجَابَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Enrich me with the certainty and Suffice me with the relying upon You^-azwj, and Suffice me from dread of the hearts, and Open for me in awaiting beauty of the Making, and Open for me, O Lord^-azwj, the door of desiring to You^‑azwj and the fearfulness from You^-azwj, and the trepidation from the sins, and Endear to me the supplicating, and Connect it for me with the Response, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Despair me from Your^-azwj Comfort, nor Made me despondent from Your^‑azwj Mercy, nor let me feel safe from Your^-azwj Plan, for no one despairs from Your^-azwj Comfort except the unjust people, nor be despondent from Your^-azwj Mercy except the straying people, not feel sae from Your^-azwj Plane except the losing people!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْحَمْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ وَرَثَةِ جَنَّةِ النَّعِيمِ‏ وَ لا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ‏ يَا مَنْ‏ هُوَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Mercy me with Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, And Make me to be from the inheritors of the Blissful Garden [26:85] And Forgive my father, for he was from the straying ones [26:86] And do not Disgrace on the Day they would be Resurrected [26:87]!’

قَالَ وَ كَانَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الرَّكَعَاتِ الْمَشْرُوحَةِ قَامَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيِ الزَّوَالِ تَتِمَّةَ الْعِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْفَرِيضَةِ.

He^-asws said: ‘And it was so, whenever he^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj upon him^-asws, when he^-asws was free from these Cycles of the legislated Salat(s), he^-asws said two Cycles of the midday, completing the twenty Cycles, then he^-asws got upon from it to the obligatory Salat’’.[2]

3- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، بِإِسْنَادِي إِلَى الْكُلَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ غَيْرِهِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع‏ الصَّلَاةُ النَّافِلَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بُكْرَةً وَ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ صَدْرَ النَّهَارِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ ثُمَ‏ صَلِّ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَ صَلِّ بَعْدَهَا سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ‏.

(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – by my chain to Al Kulayni, from Ali Bin Muhammad and others from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al Bazanty who said,

‘Abu Al-Hassan^-asws said: ‘The optional Salat on the day of Friday of six Cycles early morning, and six Cycles in middle of the day, and two Cycles when the sun declines, then pray the obligatory (Salat) and pray six Cycles after it’’.[3]

وَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْكُلَيْنِيِّ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ عَنْ مُرَادِ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ كَانَتِ الشَّمْسُ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ مِقْدَارَهَا مِنَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَقْتَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ صَلَّيْتُ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فَإِذَا انْتَفَخَ النَّهَارُ صَلَّيْتُ سِتّاً فَإِذَا زَاغَتْ أَوْ زَالَتْ صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ الظُّهْرَ ثُمَّ صَلَّيْتُ بَعْدَهَا سِتّاً.

And by our chain to Al Kulayni, from a group, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Al Husayn Bin Al Mukhtar, from Ali Bin Abdul Aziz, from Murad Bin Kharija who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘As for me^-asws, whenever it is the day of Friday and the sun happens to be from sun from the east, its measurement from the west, time of Al-Asr Salat, I^-asws pray six Cycles Salat. When day breaks, I pray six (Cycles). When it deflects or declines, I^-asws pray two Cycles, then I^-asws pray Al-Zohr, the I^-asws pray six (Cycles) after it’’.[4]

وَ قَدْ رَوَى هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ جَدِّي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ تَهْذِيبِ الْأَحْكَامِ‏ وَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى جَدِّيَ السَّعِيدِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ فِي كِتَابِ تَهْذِيبِ الْأَحْكَامِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ عَنِ الْعَبْدِ الصَّالِحِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ التَّطَوُّعِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَتَطَوَّعَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي غَيْرِ سَفَرٍ صَلَّيْتَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ ارْتِفَاعَ النَّهَارِ وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ نِصْفِ النَّهَارِ وَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

And these two Ahadeeth have been reported by my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi in the book ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkam’, and by our chain to my grandfather Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, among what is reported in the book ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkam’ from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Yaqoub Bin Yaqteen,

‘From Al-Abd Al-Salih^-asws (7th Imam^-asws), he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the voluntary (Salat) during the day of Friday. He^-asws said: ‘When you want to pray voluntary Salat during the day of Friday not being in a journey, pray six Salat(s) at rising of the day, and six Salat(s) before midday, and two Cycles when the sun declines before the Friday, and six Cycles after the Friday (Salat)’’.[5]

فَمِنَ الرِّوَايَةِ بِذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ فِي‏ تَرْتِيبِ نَوَافِلِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ سِتّاً قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ تَفْصِلُ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

From the report with that is what we are reporting by our chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, by his chain from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareyz, from Abu Baseer,

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding sequence of the optional Salat of the Friday: ‘You should pray six Cycles after emergence of the sun, and six before the midday, keeping a gap what is between every two Cycle with the Salaat, and two Cycles after the midday, and six Cycles after the Friday (Salat)’’.[6]

قَالَ جَدِّي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏ وَ الدُّعَاءُ فِي دُبُرِ الرَّكَعَاتِ رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِي عَمَلِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ مُسْتَرْسِلًا اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَمَلًا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

My grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said,

‘And the supplication at the end of the two Cycles of Salat is reported by Jabir, from Abu Ja’far^‑asws regarding acts of worship of the Friday. He^-asws said: ‘You should pray two Cycles and say continuously, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Shelter me from the evil deeds, and Utilise me for working is Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my ranks by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^‑azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ قَلْبِي يَرْجُوكَ لِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ نَفْسِي تَخَافُكَ لِشِدَّةِ عِقَابِكَ فَوَفِّقْنِي لِمَا يُؤْمِنُنِي مَكْرَكَ وَ يُعَافِينِي مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ اسْتُرْنِي بِسَعَةِ فَضْلِكَ مِنَ التَّذَلُّلِ لِعِبَادِكَ وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ خَيْبَةِ الرَّدِّ وَ سَفْعِ نَارِ الْحِرْمَانِ

O Allah^-azwj! My heart is hoping for vastness of Your^-azwj Mercy, and my soul fears You^-azwj due to severity of Your^-azwj Punishment, therefore Harmonise me for what would secure me from Your^-azwj Plan, and Pardon me from Your^-azwj Wrath, and Make me to be from Your^-azwj friends, and Grace upon me with Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Mercy, and Veil me with vastness of Your^-azwj Grace from the humbling to worship You^-azwj, and Mercy me from the disappointment of rejection, and burning in the fire of deprivation!

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَأْتِيٍّ وَ أَكْرَمُ مَزُورٍ وَ خَيْرُ مَنْ طُلِبَتْ إِلَيْهِ الْحَاجَاتُ وَ أَجْوَدُ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَ أَرْحَمُ مَنِ اسْتُرْحِمَ وَ أَرْأَفُ مَنْ عَفَا وَ أَعَزُّ مَنِ اعْتُمِدَ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are best Giver and Best of the ones the needs are sought to, and most Generous of the ones who give, and most Merciful of the ones being merciful, and Kindest of the ones pardoning, and Mightiest of the ones relied upon!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ لِي إِلَيْكَ فَاقَةٌ وَ لِي عِنْدَكَ حَاجَاتٌ وَ لَكَ عِنْدِي طَلِبَاتٌ مِنْ ذُنُوبٍ أَنَا بِهَا مُرْتَهِنٌ قَدْ أَوْقَرَتْ ظَهْرِي وَ أَوْبَقَتْنِي وَ إِلَّا تَرْحَمْنِي وَ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي‏ أَكُنْ مِنَ الْخاسِرِينَ‏-

O Allah^-azwj, and there is destitution for me to You^-azwj, and need for me with You^-azwj, and Demands for You^-azwj with me of the sins, I am pledged with it. My back is weighed down and You^-azwj Let me live. Unless You^-azwj would Mercy and Forgave these for me, I would be from the losers!’

ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَتَشَفَّعُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ أَنْ تُقِيلَنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَغْفِرَهَا لِي وَ تَقْلِبَنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي وَ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِي بِقَبِيحِ مَا كَانَ مِنِّي

Then fall into Sajdah and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I am drawing closer to You^-azwj due to Your^-azwj generousity, and I seek intercession to You^-azwj by Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant and Your^‑azwj Rasool^-saww, and I seek means to You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Angles of Proximity and Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, the Messengers^-as, to Reduce my stumbles, and Conceal my sins upon me and Forgive these for me, and Turn me by Fulfilling my needs and do not Punish me due to the ugliness what has happened from me!

يَا أَهْلَ التَّقْوَى وَ أَهْلَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَرُّ يَا كَرِيمُ أَنْتَ أَبَرُّ بِي مِنْ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مِنْ نَفْسِي وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ بِي إِلَيْكَ فَاقَةٌ وَ فَقْرٌ وَ أَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ كُفَّ عَنِّي أَنْوَاعَ الْبَلَاءِ فَإِنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَ جُودَكَ يَسَعُنِي-

O rightful of being feared and rightful of Forgiving! O Righteous! O Benevolent! You^-azwj are more righteous with me than my father and my mother, and (more than) myself and (more than) the people in their entirety. There is destitution with me to You^-azwj and poverty, and You^-azwj are Needless of me. So, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Answer my supplication and Restrain the types of afflictions from me, for You^-azwj Pardon and Your^-azwj Generousity Suffice me!’

ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

Then raise your head, then pray two Cycles and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Utilise me in Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my ranks, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^-azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ عَظِّمِ النُّورَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ صَغِّرِ الدُّنْيَا فِي عَيْنِي وَ أَطْلِقْ لِسَانِي بِذِكْرِكَ وَ احْرُسْ نَفْسِي مِنَ الشَّهَوَاتِ وَ اكْفِنِي طَلَبَ مَا قَدَّرْتَهُ لِي عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى أَسْتَغْنِيَ بِهِ عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ-

O Allah^-azwj! Magnify the Noor in my heart and Belittle the world in my eyes, and Free my tongue for Your^-azwj Zikr and Guard my soul from the lustful desires, and Suffice me to see what You^-azwj have Pre-determined for me with You^-azwj until I become needless by it from what is in hands of the people!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَمَلًا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

Then pray two Cycles Salat and say, ‘Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Shelter me from the evil deeds, and Utilise me for working in Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my rank by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^-azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ أَغْنِنِي بِالتَّقْوَى وَ أَعِزَّنِي بِالتَّوَكُّلِ وَ اكْفِنِي رَوْعَةَ الْقُنُوطِ وَ افْسَحْ لِي فِي انْتِظَارِ جَمِيلِ الصُّنْعِ وَ افْتَحْ لِي بَابَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ الدُّعَاءَ وَ صِلْهُ مِنْكَ بِالْإِجَابَةِ:

O Allah^-azwj! Enrich me with the piety, and Enable me with the reliance, and Spare me from despair, and Expand for me in awaiting the beautiful making, and Open for me the door of Mercy, and Endear the supplication to me, and Connect it to the Response from You^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

Then pray two cycles and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Shelter me from the evil deeds, and Utilise me in Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my rank by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^-azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنِي وَ مَتِّعْنِي بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي نِعَمِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ هَبْ لِي شُكْراً تَرْضَى بِهِ عَنِّي وَ حَمْداً عَلَى مَا أَلْهَمْتَنِي وَ أَقْبِلْ بِقَلْبِي إِلَى مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ اشْغَلْنِي عَمَّا يُبَاعِدُنِي مِنْكَ وَ أَلْهِمْنِي خَوْفَ عِقَابِكَ وَ ازْجُرْنِي عَنِ الْمُنَى لِمَنَازِلِ الْمُتَّقِينَ بِمَا يُسْخِطُكَ وَ هَبْ لِيَ الْجِدَّ فِي طَاعَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

O Allah^-azwj! Utilise me with what You^-azwj Taught me and Cause me to enjoy with what You^‑azwj have Graced me, and Bless for me in Your^-azwj bounties upon me, and Gift to me appreciation You^-azwj can be Satisfied with from me, and praising upon what You^-azwj Inspire me, and Turn my heart to what Satisfied You^-azwj from me, and Pre-occupy me from what would distance me from You^-azwj, and Inspire me to fear Your^-azwj Punishment, and Rebuke me from wishing for status of the pious with what would Anger You^-azwj, and Grant to me to make efforts in Your^-azwj obedience, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَمَلًا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

Then you should pray two Cycles Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Shelter me from the evil deeds and Utilise me for working in Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my rank by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^-azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي قَلْباً طَاهِراً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ نَفْساً سَامِيَةً إِلَى نَعِيمِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي بِالتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ عَزِيزاً وَ بِمَا أَتَوَقَّعُهُ مِنْكَ غَنِيّاً وَ بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِيهِ قَانِعاً رَاضِياً وَ عَلَى رَجَائِكَ مُعْتَمِداً وَ إِلَيْكَ فِي حَوَائِجِي قَاصِداً حَتَّى لَا أَعْتَمِدَ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا أَثِقَ فِيهَا إِلَّا بِكَ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Make for me a clean heart, and truthful tongue, and a soul ascending to the bounties of Paradise, and Make me endeared by the reliance upon You^-azwj, and right with what I am anticipating from You^‑azwj, and contented, satisfied with what You^-azwj have Graced me and reliant upon hoping to You^‑azwj, and aiming to You^-azwj regarding my needs until I do not rely except upon You^-azwj nor trust in it except with You^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَمَلًا بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ نَارِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ

Then pray two Cycles Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Shelter me from the evil deeds and Utilise me in working in Your^-azwj obedience, and Raise my ranks by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shelter me from Your^-azwj Fire and Your^-azwj Wrath!

اللَّهُمَّ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ عَظُمَ عَلَيْهَا إِسْرَافِي وَ طَالَ فِي مَعَاصِيكَ انْهِمَاكِي وَ تَكَاثَفَتْ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَظَاهَرَتْ عُيُوبِي وَ طَالَ بِكَ اغْتِرَارِي وَ تَظَاهَرَتْ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ دَامَ لِلشَّهَوَاتِ اتِّبَاعِي

O Allah^-azwj! I have been unjust to myself and my extravagance is mighty upon it, and I have plunged myself into disobeying You^-azwj, and my sins have multiplied, and my faults are apparent, and my audacity with You^-azwj is prolonged, and my evils deeds have become apparent, and my following the lustful desires is constant.

فَأَنَا الْخَائِبُ إِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي وَ أَنَا الْهَالِكُ إِنْ لَمْ تَعْفُ عَنِّي فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِي وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي فَتَعْجُزَ عَنِّي‏ وَ أَنْقِذْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ خَطَايَايَ سَيِّدِي-

I will be disappointed if You^-azwj don’t Mercy me, and I will be destroyed if You^-azwj don’t Pardon me, therefore Forgive my sins for me and Overlook my evil deeds, and Grant me my request, and Suffice me of what concerns me, and do not Allocate me to myself for I would be powerless, and Save me by Your^-azwj Mercy from my wrongdoings, my Master^-azwj!’

وَ أَمَّا وَقْتُ رَكْعَتَيِ الزَّوَالِ فَقَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ رُوِيَ بَعْدَ زَوَالِهَا وَ الْأَوَّلُ أَظْهَرُ.

And as for time of two Cycles of the midday, it has been reported that it is before the sun declines on the day of Friday, and it is reported after the midday, and the first is more apparent’’.[7]

وَ أَمَّا التَّعْقِيبُ بَعْدَهُمَا فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَمَاعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ‏ مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الْفَرِيضَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ رَبِّي وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ بَنَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ مَسْكَناً فِي الْجَنَّةِ.

And as for the follow-up after it, from that is what is reported by Abu Al Mufazzal Al Shaybani, from Ahmad Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Muhammad Bin Sama’at, from Abu Hamza,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him^-asws saying: ‘One who says after the two Cycles before the obligatory Salat on the day of Friday, ‘Glory be to my Lord^-azwj and with His^-azwj Praise, and I seek Forgiveness of my Lord^-azwj and I repent to Him^-azwj’ – one hundred times, Allah^-azwj the Exalted will Build for him a dwelling in the Paradise!’’[8]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا حَدَّثَ بِهِ هَارُونُ بْنُ مُوسَى ره عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْقُمِّيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الزَّوَالِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And from that is what is narrated with by Haroun Bin Musa, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Khalid Al Barqy, from Isa Bin Abdullah Al Qummi,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘It was so, whenever Amir Al Momineen^-asws was free from the midday Salat, said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! I draw closer to You^-azwj with Your^-azwj Generousity and Your^-azwj Benevolence, and I draw closer to You^-azwj by Muhammad^-saww, Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and I draw closer the You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity and Your^-azwj Messenger Prophets^-as!

اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ الْغِنَى عَنِّي وَ بِيَ الْفَاقَةُ إِلَيْكَ أَنْتَ الْغَنِيُّ وَ أَنَا الْفَقِيرُ إِلَيْكَ أَقَلْتَنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي فَاقْضِ الْيَوْمَ حَاجَتِي وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي بِقَبِيحِ مَا تَعْلَمُ مِنِّي فَإِنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَ جُودَكَ يَسَعُنِي

O Allah^-azwj! With You^-azwj is the needlessness from me and with me is the destitution to You^‑azwj! You^-azwj are the rich and I am the poor to You^-azwj! You^-azwj have Reduced my stumbles and Concealed my sins upon me, so Fulfill my needs today and do not Punish me for the ugliness what You^-azwj Know from me, for Your^-azwj Pardon and Your^-azwj Generousity Suffices me!’

ثُمَّ يَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ التَّقْوَى وَ أَهْلَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَرُّ يَا رَحِيمُ أَنْتَ أَبَرُّ بِي مِنْ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَلَائِقِ اقْلِبْنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي مُجَاباً دَعْوَتِي مَرْحُوماً صَوْتِي قَدْ كَشَفْتَ أَنْوَاعَ الْبَلَاءِ عَنِّي

Then fall in Sajdah and say, ‘O rightful of being feared and rightful of the Forgiving! O Righteous! O Merciful! You^-azwj are more righteous with me than my father and my mothers, and more thane entirety of the creatures! Turn me by Fulfilling my needs, Answering my supplication, Mercy my voice! The doors of afflictions have been removed from me!’

أَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِ الِاسْتِدْرَاكِ ذَكَرَ الدُّعَاءَ بَعْدَ رَكْعَتَيِ الزَّوَالِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَإِنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَ جُودَكَ يَسَعُنِي رَجَعْنَا إِلَى رِوَايَةِ السَّيِّدِ.

I am saying, ‘In the book ‘Al-Istidrak’, he mentioned the supplication after two Cycles Salat of the midday up to his^-asws words: ‘Your^-azwj Pardon and Your Generousity Suffices me’, we return to a report of the Seyyid’’.[9]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا أَرْوِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِي إِلَى جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ قَالَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏ وَ رُوِيَ عَنْهُ يَعْنِي جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع عَقِيبَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَتَشَفَّعُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ

And from that is what I am reporting by my chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, he, may Allah^-azwj be Satisfied with him, said,

‘And it is reported from him^-asws, meaning Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws as follow up of the two Cycles except that she should say before the midday: ‘O Allah^-azwj! I draw closer to You^‑azwj by Your^-azwj Generousity and Your^-azwj Benevolence, and I seek intercession to You^-azwj by Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ‏ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْ تُقِيلَنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَغْفِرَهَا لِي وَ تَقْضِيَ الْيَوْمَ حَاجَتِي وَ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِي بِقَبِيحِ عَمَلِي فَإِنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَ جُودَكَ يَسَعُنِي-

And I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-azwj, Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity, and to Reduce my stumbles and Conceal my sins upon me and Forgive these for me, and Fulfill my needs today, and do not Punish me for my ugly deeds, for Your^-azwj Pardon and Your^-azwj Generosity Suffices me!’

ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ التَّقْوَى وَ يَا أَهْلَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ أَنْتَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ بِي إِلَيْكَ حَاجَةٌ وَ فَقْرٌ وَ فَاقَةٌ فَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي

Then do Sajdah and say, ‘O rightful of being feared, and O rightful of the Forgiving! You^-azwj are better for me than my father and my mother and the people in their entirety, and there is need for me to You^-azwj and poverty and destitution, for You^-azwj are needless of Punishing me!

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُقِيلَنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ أَنْ تُقَلِّبَنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي وَ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ تَرْحَمَ صَوْتِي وَ تَكُفَّ أَنْوَاعَ الْبَلَاءِ عَنِّي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

I ask you^-azwj to Reduce my stumbles and to Turn me by Fulfilling my needs, and Answer my supplication for me, and mercy my voice, and Restrain the types of afflictions from me by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

وَ قُلْ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فَقُلْ يَا شَارِعاً لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ دِينَ‏ الْقَيِّمَةِ دِيناً وَ يَا رَاضِياً بِهِ مِنْهُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ يَا خَالِقاً مَنْ سِوَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لِلِابْتِلَاءِ بِدِينِهِ وَ يَا مُسْتَخِصّاً مِنْ خَلْقِهِ لِدِينِهِ رُسُلًا إِلَى مَنْ دُونَهُمْ وَ مُجَازِيَ أَهْلِ الدِّينِ بِمَا عَمِلُوا فِي الدِّينِ

And say, ‘I seek Shelter with Allah^-azwj from the Hellfire’, seventy times. When you raised your head from the Sajdah, say, ‘O Legislator of the upright religion to His^-azwj Angels, and O Satisfied with from them for Himself^-azwj, and O Creator of the ones besides the Angels from His^-azwj creatures for the Testing with His^-azwj religion, and O Selector of Messengers^-as from His^-azwj creatures for His^-azwj religion, and Rewarder of the people of religion for what they had done in the religion!

اجْعَلْنِي بِحَقِّ اسْمِكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ تَفْصِيلُ الْأُمُورِ كُلِّهَا مِنْ أَهْلِ دِينِكَ الْمُؤْثِرِينَ لَهُ بِإِلْزَامِكَهُمْ حَقَّهُ وَ تَفْرِيغِكَ قُلُوبَهُمْ لِلرَّغْبَةِ فِي أَدَاءِ حَقِّكَ إِلَيْكَ

By the right of Your^-azwj Name which there is detail of all the affairs, Make me from people of Your^-azwj religion, the ones preferring it by their necessitation its right, and Your^-azwj Freeing of their hearts for the desiring in fulfilling Your^-azwj rights to You^-azwj!

And it is what is reported by my chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be Satisfied with him. He said,

‘It is reported from Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws having said: ‘It was so, whenever the sun declined Ali^-asws Bin Al Husayn^-asws prayed Salat then supplicated, then send Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww. He^-asws said: ‘O Allah^-azwj!

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny ^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the ship sailing in the deep waves. Safe is the one sailing it, and drowned is the one neglecting it. The one preceding them^-asws is a deviant and the one falling behind from them is obliterated, and the one sticking to them^-asws joins (with them^-asws)!

The Praise is for Allah^-azwj upon every bounty, and I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj from every sin, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah^-azwj from every horror!’’[11]

ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلَّى وَ دَعَا ثُمَّ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص- فَقَالَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ شَجَرَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ.

Then he said,

‘And it is reported from Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws having said: ‘It was so, whenever the sun declined, Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws prayed Salat and supplicated, then sent Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww.

4- مَجَالِسُ الشَّيْخِ، عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ زُرَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رُبَّمَا يُقَدِّمُ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ فَإِذَا كَانَ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ أَذَّنَ وَ جَلَسَ جَلْسَةً

(The book) ‘Majaalis’ of the Sheykh, from a group, from Abu Al Mufazzal, from Humeyd, from Al Qasim Bin Ismail, from Zureyq,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘It was so, sometimes Abu Abdullah^-asws preceded with twenty Cycles of Salat on the day of Friday in the middle of the day. When it was at decline of the sun (midday), he^-asws proclaimed Azaan and sat down for a while.

ثُمَّ قَامَ وَ صَلَّى الظُّهْرَ وَ كَانَ لَا يَرَى صَلَاةً عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَّا الْفَرِيضَةَ وَ لَا يُقَدِّمُ صَلَاةً بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْفَرِيضَةِ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ هِيَ أَوَّلُ صَلَاةٍ فَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ صَلَاةُ الظُّهْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَعَ الزَّوَالِ

Then he^-asws stood up and prayed Al-Zohr Salat, and he^-asws did not view any Salat at decline of the sun except for the obligatory, nor did he^-asws preceded any Salat before the obligatory when the sun declined, and he^-asws had said: ‘The first Salat Allah^-azwj had Obligated upon the servants is Al-Zohr Salat on the day of Friday, with the midday.

وَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص لِكُلِّ صَلَاةٍ أَوَّلٌ وَ آخِرٌ لِعِلَّةٍ تَشْغَلُ سِوَى صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدَيْنِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُقَدَّمُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذَلِكَ نَافِلَةٌ.

And Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘For every Salat there is a first and a last for the reason of pre-occupation, apart from the Friday Salat, and Al Maghrib Salat, and Al Fajr Salat, and Salat of the two Eid(s), for an optional cannot be advanced in front of that’’.[13]

وَ مِنْهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُقَدَّمِ عَنْ زُرَيْقٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ فَلَا نَافِلَةَ وَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَا نَافِلَةَ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمٌ ضَيِّقٌ وَ كَانَ أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص- يَتَجَهَّزُونَ لِلْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ لِضِيقِ الْوَقْتِ‏.

And from him, by the previous chain from Zureyq,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When the dawn emerges, there is no optional Salat, and when the sun declines on the day of Friday, there is no optional Salat, and that is because the day of Friday is a restrictive day and companions of Rasool-Allah^-saww used to prepare for the Friday (from) the day of Thursday due to the restrictive timing’’.[14]

5- الْمُقْنِعُ، إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِذَا انْبَسَطَتْ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ قَبْلَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فَافْعَلْ وَ إِنْ قَدَّمْتَ نَوَافِلَكَ كُلَّهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ أَوْ أَخَّرْتَهَا بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ

(The book) ‘Al Muqnie’ –

‘If you are capable to pray six Cycles Salat on the day of Friday when the sun emerges, and if you forget the six Cycles, and two Cycles before the Prescribed Salat, and six Cycles after the Prescribed Salat, then do so, and if you were to advance your optional Salat(s), all of them, on the day of Friday before the midday, or delay it after the Prescribed (Salat)’.

فَهِيَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَ تَأْخِيرُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِهَا فِي رِوَايَةِ زُرَارَةَ بْنِ أَعْيَنَ وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ تَقْدِيمُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ تَأْخِيرِهَا.

So, these are sixteen Cycles, and delaying it is better than advancing it in a report by Zurara Bin Ayn, and in a report by Abu Baseer, advancing it is better than delaying it’’.[15]

6- قُرْبُ الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الزَّوَالِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مَا حَدُّهُ

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – from Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan,

‘From his grandfather Ali son of Ja’far^-asws, from his brother Musa^-asws, he said, ‘I asked him^‑asws about the midday on the day of Friday, ‘What is its limit?’

قَالَ إِذَا قَامَتِ الشَّمْسُ صَلِّ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلِّ الْفَرِيضَةَ وَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَبْلَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ فَلَا تُصَلِّهِمَا وَ ابْدَأْ بِالْفَرِيضَةِ وَ اقْضِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ-

He^-asws said: ‘When the sun stands, pray the two cycles. When the sun declines, pray the obligatory Salat. And if the sun declines before you have prayed the two Cycles, do not pray these and begin with the obligatory, and fulfill the two Cycles after the obligatory (Salat)’.

قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَكْعَتَيِ الزَّوَالِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الْأَذَانِ أَوْ بَعْدَهُ قَالَ قَبْلَ الْأَذَانِ‏.

He said, ‘And I asked him^-asws about the two Cycles of the midday on the day of Friday, ‘Before the Azaan or after it?’ He^-asws said: ‘Before the Azaan’’.[16]

7- السَّرَائِرُ، نَقْلًا عَنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ صَاحِبِ الرِّضَا عَنْهُ ع‏ مِثْلَهُ فِي السُّؤَالَيْنِ مَعاً إِلَّا أَنَّهُ زَادَ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ فَصَلِّ الْفَرِيضَةَ قَوْلَهُ سَاعَةَ تَزُولُ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – copying from ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty,

‘A companion of Al-Reza^-asws, from him^-asws, similar to it regarding the two question together, except he^-asws increased after his^-asws words: ‘Pray the obligatory’ are his^-asws words: ‘An hour of decline’’.[17]

8- قُرْبُ الْإِسْنَادِ، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ أَبِي يَغْتَسِلُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عِنْدَ الزَّوَالِ وَ قَالَ فِي النَّوَافِلِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بُكْرَةً وَ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ ضَحْوَةً وَ ركعتين [رَكْعَتَانِ‏] إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Bazanty,

‘He^-asws said: ‘My^-asws father^-asws used to bathe on the day of Friday at midday’; and he^-asws said regarding the optional (Salats) on the day of Friday: ‘Six Cycles early morning and six Cycles before noon, and two Cycles when the sun declines (midday), and six Cycles after the Friday Salat’’.[18]

9- الْعِلَلُ، وَ الْعُيُونُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ مِنَ الْعِلَلِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: فَإِنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ زِيدَ فِي صَلَاةِ السُّنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ

(The books) ‘Al Ilal’ and ‘Al Uyoun’ – from Abdul Wahid Bin Muhammad Bin Ubdous, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Quteyba, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan, among what he reported from ‘Al Ilal’,

‘From Al-Reza^-asws having said (in argumentation): ‘If he says, ‘Why is there an increase in the Sunnah (optional) Salat(s) on the day of Friday by four Cycles?’

قِيلَ تَعْظِيماً لِذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ تَفْرِقَةً بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ‏.

It will be said: ‘In reverence of that day and differentiating between it and rest of the days’’.[19]

10- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، لَا تُصَلِّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ غَيْرَ الْفَرْضَيْنِ وَ النَّوَافِلِ قَبْلَهُمَا أَوْ بَعْدَهُمَا وَ فِي نَوَافِلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ زِيَادَةُ أَرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ تُتِمُّهَا عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza^-asws’ – ‘Do not pray Salat on the day of Friday after the midday other than the two obligatory (Salats), and the optional before these or after these, and regarding the optional on the day of Friday there is an increase of four Cycles completing these as twenty Cycles.

يَجُوزُ تَقْدِيمُهَا فِي صَدْرِ النَّهَارِ وَ تَأْخِيرُهَا إِلَى بَعْدِ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ فَإِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ‏ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا طَلَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ إِذَا انْبَسَطَتْ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ قَبْلَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ فَافْعَلْ

It is allowed to advance these in forenoon of the day and delaying it after Al-Asr Salat. If you are capable of praying Salat on the day of Friday when the sun emerges six Cycles, and when you offer six Cycles and two Cycles before the Prescribed and six Cycles after the Prescribed, then do so.

وَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ نَوَافِلَكَ كُلَّهَا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ أَوْ أَخَّرْتَهَا بَعْدَ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ أَجْزَأَكَ وَ هِيَ سِتَّ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً وَ تَأْخِيرُهَا أَفْضَلُ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِهَا وَ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَلَا تُصَلِّي إِلَّا الْمَكْتُوبَةَ.

And if you were to pray your optional (Salats), all of them on the day of Friday before the midday, or delay these after the Prescribed, and these are sixteen Cycles; and delaying these is better than advancing these; and when the sun declines during the day of Friday, do not pray except the Prescribed Salat’’.[20]

11- السَّرَائِرُ، نَقْلًا مِنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْكَرِيمِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ أَيُّمَا أَفْضَلُ أُقَدِّمُ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَوْ أُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – Copied from ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty, from Abdul Kareem Bin Amro, from Suleyman Bin Khalid,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him, ‘Which of the two is better, my advancing the two Cycles on the day of Friday or my praying these after the Prescribed Salat?’

قَالَ تُصَلِّيهِمَا بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ.

He^-asws said: ‘You should pray these after the obligatory’’.[21]

وَ ذُكِرَ أَيْضاً عَنْ رَجُلٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ أَمَّا أَنَا فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ بَدَأْتُ بِالْفَرِيضَةِ.

And he mentioned as well from a man,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the two Cycles of Salat, those which are before the midday on the day of Friday. He^-asws said: ‘As for me^-asws, when the sun declines, I^-asws begin with the obligatory (Salat)’’.[22]

وَ مِنْهُ عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ أَيْضاً عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ إِذَا كُنْتَ شَاكّاً فِي الزَّوَالِ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا اسْتَيْقَنْتَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ زَالَتْ بَدَأْتَ بِالْفَرِيضَةِ.

And from him, from Al Bazanty as well, from Abdullah Bin Ajlan who said,

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘When you were to doubt regarding the midday (decline of the sun), then pray two Cycles. When you are certain it has declined, begin with the obligatory (Salat)’’.[23]

وَ مِنْهُ نَقْلًا مِنْ كِتَابِ حَرِيزٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو بَصِيرٍ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ عِشْرِينَ رَكْعَةً فَافْعَلْ سِتّاً بَعْدَ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ سِتّاً قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ إِذَا تَعَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ افْصِلْ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ نَوَافِلِكَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ وَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ وَ سِتَّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

And from him, copying from the book of Hareyz who said, ‘Abu Baseer said,

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘If you are able to pray twenty Cycles on the day of Friday, then do so – six after emergence of the sun, and six before the midday when the sun does emerge, and keep a gap between every two Cycles from your optional (Salats) with performing the Salaam, and two Cycles before the midday, and six Cycles after the Friday (Salat)’’.[24]

بيان: وَ فِي صَحِيحَةِ سَعْدِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع‏ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بُكْرَةً وَ سِتٌّ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَهَذِهِ ثِنْتَانِ وَ عِشْرُونَ رَكْعَةً.

Explanation (Ahadeeth only) – And in a correct (Hadeeth) by Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad (in Al Tahzeeb), from Al-Reza^-asws: ‘Six Cycles early morning, and six after that, and six Cycles after that, and two Cycles after the midday, and two Cycles after Al Asr, so these are twenty-two Cycles’’.

وَ يَجُوزُ تَقْدِيمُهَا بِأَسْرِهَا عَلَى الزَّوَالِ لِرِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ‏ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ع- عَنِ النَّافِلَةِ الَّتِي تُصَلَّى يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَفْضَلُ أَوْ بَعْدَهَا قَالَ قَبْلَ الْجُمُعَةِ.

And it is allowed to advance these in their entirety upon the midday due to a report by Ali Bin Yaqteen (in Al Tahzeeb) who said, ‘I asked Abu Al-Hassan^-asws about the optional (Salat) which are pray on the day of Friday, ‘Is it better before the Friday (Salat) or after it?’ He^-asws said: ‘Before the Friday (Salat)’’.

وَ رَوَى سَعْدُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع‏ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ بُكْرَةً وَ ستا [سِتٌ‏] بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ ستا [سِتٌ‏] بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ فَهَذِهِ اثْنَتَانِ وَ عِشْرُونَ رَكْعَةً.

And it is reported by Sa’ad Bin Sa’ad, from Al-Reza^-asws: ‘Six Cycles early morning, and six after that, and six after that, and two Cycles after the midday, and two Cycles after Al-Asr, so these are twenty-two Cycles’’.

وَ قَدْ رَوَى سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ النَّافِلَةُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ سِتُّ رَكَعَاتٍ قَبْلَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ وَ رَكْعَتَانِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِهَا وَ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ ثَمَانِي رَكَعَاتٍ.

And it has been reported by Suleyman Bin Khalid (in Al-Tahzeeb), from Abu Abdullah^-asws: ‘The optional (Salats) on the day of Friday are – six Cycles before decline of the sun, and two Cycles after its decline, and eight Cycles after the obligatory (Salat)’’.

CHAPTER 99 – SALAT OF THE NEEDS, AND THE SUPPLICATIONS FOR IT ON THE DAY OF FRIDAY

1- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا، رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الثَّقَفِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ يَعْنِي أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ الْبَاقِرَ ع‏ مَا يَمْنَعُ أَحَدَكُمْ إِذَا أَصَابَهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ غَمِّ الدُّنْيَا أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ يُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ

‘I heard him^-asws saying, meaning Abu Ja’far Al-Baqir^-asws: ‘What is preventing one of you, when he is afflicted with something from the sadness of the world, to pray two Cycles Salat on the day of Friday and praise Allah^-azwj the Exalted and extol upon Him^-azwj, and sending Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws?

وَ يَمُدَّ يَدَهُ وَ يَقُولَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ مَلِكٌ وَ أَنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ وَ أَنَّكَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَكُونُ وَ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص

And he should extend his hand and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj!

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّي وَ رَبِّكَ لِيُنْجِحَ بِكَ طَلِبَتِي وَ يَقْضِيَ بِكِ حَاجَتِي

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي مِنْ خَلْقِكَ بِبَغْيٍ أَوْ عَنَتٍ أَوْ سُوءٍ أَوْ مَسَاءَةٍ أَوْ كَيْدٍ مِنْ جِنِّيٍّ أَوْ إِنْسِيٍّ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَحْرِجْ صَدْرَهُ وَ أَفْحِمْ لِسَانَهُ وَ قَصِّرْ يَدَهُ وَ اسْدُدْ بَصَرَهُ وَ ادْفَعْ فِي نَحْرِهِ وَ أَقْمِعْ رَأْسَهُ وَ أَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُ وَ أَمِتْهُ بِدَائِهِ وَ غَيْظِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُ شَاغِلًا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Anyone from Your^-azwj creatures who intends me with rebellion, or coercion, or evil, or an offence, or plot, from the Jinn or humans, from near or far, small or bid, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Constrict his chest, and Confound his tongue, and Shorten his hand, and Block his sight, and Push in his throat, and Suppress his head, and Weaken his plot, and Cause him to die by his own illness and his own rage, and Make for him a pre-occupation from himself!

And Suffice me by Your^-azwj Protection, and Your^-azwj Strength, and Your^-azwj Might, and Your^‑azwj Magnificence, and Your^-azwj Power, and Your^-azwj Authority, and Your^-azwj Prevention!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْمَحْ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ مِنْكَ لَمْحَةً تُوهِنُ بِهَا كَيْدَهُ وَ تَغْلِبُ بِهَا مَكْرَهُ وَ تُضَعِّفُ بِهَا قُوَّتَهُ وَ تَكْسِرُ بِهَا حِدَّتَهُ وَ تَرُدُّ بِهَا كَيْدَهُ فِي نَحْرِهِ يَا رَبِّي وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Erase the one who intends me with evil with an Erasure from You^-azwj Weakening his plots by it, and Overcome his plots by it, and Weaken his strength by it, and Break his sharpness by it, and Return his plots back into his own throat, O my Lord^-azwj and Lord^-azwj of all things!’

وَ تَقُولُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَكْفِيكَ ظُلْمَ مَنْ لَمْ تَعِظْهُ الْمَوَاعِظُ وَ لَمْ تَمْنَعْهُ مِنِّي الْمَصَائِبُ وَ لَا الْغِيَرُ

And you should say three times, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I seek Your^-azwj Sufficing injustice of the one who does not take preaching, and the difficulties does not prevent him from me, nor doe the changes!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اشْغَلْهُ عَنِّي بِشُغُلٍ شَاغِلٍ فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ جَمِيعِ مَا يُعَانِيهِ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ

2- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُ صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِلْحَاجَةِ رَوَى عَاصِمُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ إِذَا حَضَرَتْ أَحَدَكُمُ الْحَاجَةُ فَلْيَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ يَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ اغْتَسَلَ وَ لَبِسَ ثَوْباً نَظِيفاً ثُمَّ يَصْعَدُ إِلَى أَعْلَى مَوْضِعٍ فِي دَارِهِ فَيُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ يَقُولُ

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and others – another Salat for the needs reported by Aasim who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Whenever the need presents to one of you, let him fast on the day of Wednesday and the day of Thursday and the day of Friday. When it happens to be the day of Friday he should bathe and wear clean clothes, then ascend to a high place in his house. He should pray two Cycles Salat, then extend his hands towards the sky and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي حَلَلْتُ بِسَاحَتِكَ لِمَعْرِفَتِي بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ صَمَدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا قَادِرَ عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي غَيْرُكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا رَبِّ أَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا شَاهَدْتُ نِعَمَكَ عَلَيَّ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ طَرَقَنِي يَا رَبِّ مِنْ مُهِمِّ أَمْرِي مَا قَدْ عَرَفْتَهُ قَبْلَ مَعْرِفَتِي لِأَنَّكَ عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have entered Your^-azwj courtyard due to my recognition of Your^-azwj Oneness and Your^-azwj Powerfulness, and that there is no one able upon fulfilling my needs apart from You^‑azwj, and You^-azwj have Known, O Lord^-azwj, every time I had witnessed Your^-azwj bounties upon me, my destitution to You^-azwj has intensified, and it has befallen me from my important matters what You^-azwj have Known before my recognition, because You^-azwj are a Known without being taught!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَانْشَقَّتْ وَ عَلَى الْأَرَضِينَ فَانْبَسَطَتْ وَ عَلَى النُّجُومِ فَانْتَثَرَتْ وَ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَاسْتَقَرَّتْ

I ask You^-azwj by the Name which You^-azwj Placed upon the skies and they split asunder, and upon the earths then these spread out, and upon the stars so they scattered, and upon the mountains so they settled!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ- وَ عِنْدَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عِنْدَ الْأَئِمَّةِ كُلِّهِمْ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ لِي يَا رَبِّ حَاجَتِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ لِي عَسِيرَهَا وَ تَكْفِيَنِي مُهِمَّهَا وَ تُفَتِّحَ لِي قُفْلَهَا

And I ask You^-azwj by the Name which You^-azwj Made it to be with Muhammad^-saww, and Ali^-asws, and with Al-Hassan^-asws and Al-Husayn, and with the Imams^-asws, all of them^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them all, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^‑asws of Muhammad^-saww, and for You^-azwj Fulfil for me my needs, O Lord^-azwj, and to Ease my difficulties for me and Suffice me of its important matters, and Unlock its locks for me.

فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ جَائِرٍ فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ لَا مُتَّهَمٍ فِي قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَائِفٍ فِي عَدْلِكَ

If You^-azwj were to do that, the Praise is for You^-azwj, if You^-azwj don’t do so, the Praise is for You^‑azwj. There is no tyranny in Your^-azwj Judgment, nor accusation in Your^-azwj Decree, nor cruelty in Your^-azwj Justice!’

ثُمَّ تَبْسُطُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَتَّى عَبْدَكَ وَ نَبِيَّكَ دَعَاكَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ بِدُعَائِي هَذَا فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْكَ-

Then spread your right cheek upon the ground and said, ‘O Allah^-azwj Yunus Bin Matta^-as, Your^‑azwj servant and Your^-azwj Prophet^-as supplicated to You^-azwj in the belly of the whale with this supplication, so You^-azwj Responded to him^-saww, and I am Your^-azwj servant, so Respond to me by the right of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww upon You^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ بِكَ وَ الصِّدْقَ فِي التَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ تَبْتَلِيَنِي بِبَلِيَّةٍ تَحْمِلُنِي ضَرُورَتُهَا عَلَى رُكُوبِ مَعَاصِيكَ

Then you should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj of having goodly thoughts with You^-azwj and the sincerity in the reliance upon You^-azwj, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj if Your^-azwj were to Try me with an affliction it’s necessity carries me upon indulging in disobeying You^-azwj! 

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ أَقُولَ قَوْلًا أَلْتَمِسُ بِهِ سِوَاكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي عِظَةً لِغَيْرِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَحَدٌ أَسْعَدَ بِمَا آتَيْتَنِي مِنِّي

And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from my saying a word seeking by it other than You^-azwj! And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from Your^-azwj Making me a preaching (a lesson) for others! And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from anyone else being happier than me with what You^-azwj have Given me!

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ طَلَبَ مَا لَمْ تَقْسِمْ لِي وَ مَا قَسَمْتَ لِي مِنْ قِسْمٍ أَوْ رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رِزْقٍ فَأْتِنِي بِهِ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً

And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from my encumbering myself to seek what You^-azwj have not Apportioned for me and what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me of a provision, or Grace me from a sustenance missed out by me in ease from You^-azwj and well-being, Permissible, good!

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يُزَحْزِحُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ أَوْ يُبَاعِدُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ أَوْ يَصْرِفُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ عَنِّي

And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from all things displacing between me and You^-azwj, or distancing between me and You^-azwj, or Turning Your^-azwj Honourable Face away from me!

وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ تَحُولَ خَطِيئَتِي وَ ظُلْمِي وَ جَوْرِي وَ اتِّبَاعُ‏ هَوَايَ وَ اسْتِعْجَالُ‏ شَهْوَتِي دُونَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ ثَوَابِكَ وَ نَائِلِكَ وَ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ وَعْدِكَ الْحَسَنِ الْجَمِيلِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ يَا جَوَادُ يَا كَرِيمُ

And I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from my sins, transgressions, oppression, and from following my desires, as well as from hastening in fulfilling my lusts without Your^-azwj Forgiveness, Satisfaction, Reward, Favour, Blessings, and the beautiful Promise that You^-azwj have Made for Yourself^-azwj, O Generous, O Benevolent!

He^-saww prayed Salat with entirety of Your^-azwj Angels, and You^-azwj Made him^-saww disappear into Your^-azwj Veils. He^-saww Looked at Your^-azwj Noor and saw Your^-azwj Signs, and he^-saww was from You^-azwj like two bows or less.

فَأَوْحَيْتَ إِلَيْهِ بِمَا أَوْحَيْتَ وَ نَاجَيْتَهُ بِمَا نَاجَيْتَ وَ أَنْزَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ بِوَحْيِكَ- طَاوُسَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الرُّوحَ‏ الْأَمِينِ رَسُولَكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

(The book) ‘Jamaal Al Usbou’ – A Salat for the needs selected by our Sheykh Al Mufeed and our grandfather Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, and Abu Al Faraj Bin Abu Qurrah and others. From the report by Abu Al Faraj, it is narrated by Al Ayyashi, from Al-Husayn Bin Ashkeyb, from Musa Bin Al Qasim Al Bajaly, from Safwan Bin Yahya, and Muhammad Bin Sahl, from his elders, and a number of our companions,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Whenever there presents to You^-azwj an important need to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, then fast three consecutive days, Wednesday, and Thursday and Friday. When it happens to be the day of Friday, of Allah^-azwj so Desires, then bathe and wear new clean clothes, then climb to a high place in your house and pray two Cycles Salat in it and raise your hands towards the sky and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي حَلَلْتُ بِسَاحَتِكَ لِمَعْرِفَتِي بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ صَمَدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا قَادِرَ عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي غَيْرُكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا رَبِّ أَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا تَظَاهَرَتْ نِعْمَتُكَ عَلَيَّ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ طَرَقَنِي هَمُّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ أَنْتَ بِكَشْفِهِ عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ وَاسِعٌ غَيْرُ مُتَكَلِّفٍ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have come to Your^-azwj courtyard due to my recognition of Your^-azwj Oneness and Your^-azwj Powerfulness, and that there is no one able upon fulfilling my needs apart from You^‑azwj, and You^-azwj have Known, O Lord^-azwj, every time Your^-azwj bounties prevailed upon me, my destitution to You^-azwj intensified, and such and such worry has knocked me and You^-azwj are a Knower with removing it without being taught, Capacious, not encumbered.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَنُسِفَتْ وَ وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى السَّمَاوَاتِ فَانْشَقَّتْ وَ عَلَى النُّجُومِ فَانْتَشَرَتْ وَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَسُطِحَتْ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj had Placed upon the mountains so they were pulverised, and You^-azwj had Placed it upon the skies so these were cleft asunder, and upon the stars so these were scattered, and upon the earth so it was flattened!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ وَ فُلَانٍ وَ تَذْكُرُ الْأَئِمَّةَ وَاحِداً وَاحِداً ع أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ لِي حَاجَتِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ لِي عَسِيرَهَا وَ تَكْفِيَنِي مُهِمَّهَا

And I ask You^-azwj by the right which You^-azwj Made it to be with Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^‑asws of Muhammad, and with so and so, and so and so (and mention the Imams^-asws one by one), Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household and to Fulfill my needs for me, and Ease its difficulties for me, and Suffice me of its important ones.

فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ جَائِرٍ فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ لَا مُتَّهَمٍ فِي قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَائِفٍ فِي عَدْلِكَ

If You^-azwj were to Do that, for You^-azwj is the Praise, and if You^-azwj don’t Do so, for You^-azwj is the Praise, there being no tyranny in Your^-azwj Judgment nor any accusation in Your^-azwj Decree, nor any cruelty in Your^-azwj Justice!’

ثُمَّ يُلْصِقُ خَدَّهُ بِالْأَرْضِ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَتَّى عَبْدَكَ دَعَاكَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ أَدْعُوكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي

Then he should adhere his cheek with the ground and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Yunus Bin Matta^-as was Your^-azwj servant. He^-as Supplicated to You^-azwj from the belly of a whale and he^-as was Your^‑azwj servant, and You^-azwj Responded to him^-as, and I am Your^-azwj servant. I am supplicating to You^‑azwj, so Respond to me!’

قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع رُبَّمَا كَانَتْ لِيَ الْحَاجَةُ فَأَدْعُو بِهَا فَارْجِعُ وَ قَدْ قُضِيَتْ.

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Sometimes the needs happen for me^-asws so I^-asws supplicate with it. I^‑asws return and it has been fulfilled’’.[27]

4- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُ، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى رَوَى مُيَسِّرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَدَخَلَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا فَقَالَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ إِنِّي فَقِيرٌ

(The book) ‘Mutahajjid’ and others – Another Salat reported by Muyassir Bin Abdul Aziz who said,

‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah^-asws. One of our companions entered. He said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you^-asws! I am poor’.

فَقَالَ لَهُ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- اسْتَقْبِلْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ فَصُمْهُ وَ اتْلُهُ بِالْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ فِي ضُحَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَزُرْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص مِنْ أَعْلَى سَطْحِكَ أَوْ فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاكَ أَحَدٌ ثُمَّ صَلِّ مَكَانَكَ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ اجْثُ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْكَ وَ أَفْضِ بِهِمَا إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ أَنْتَ مُتَوَجِّهٌ إِلَى الْقِبْلَةِ يَدُكَ الْيُمْنَى فَوْقَ الْيُسْرَى وَ قُلِ

Abu Abdullah^-asws said to him: ‘Welcome the day of Wednesday, fast it and connect it with the Thursday and the Friday, three days. When it is the forenoon on the day of Friday, visit Rasool-Allah^-azwj (recite Ziyarat) from top of your roof or in a wilderness of the earth whereby no one sees you, then pray two Cycles in your place. Then kneel upon your knees and lower yourself with these to the ground while you are facing towards the Qiblah, your right hand being upon the left, and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَنْتَ انْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاءُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ خَابَتِ الْآمَالُ إِلَّا فِيكَ يَا ثِقَةَ مَنْ لَا ثِقَةَ لَهُ لَا ثِقَةَ لِي غَيْرُكَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَحْتَسِبُ-

‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj! You^-azwj! The hopes are cut off except from You^-azwj, and the hopes are disappointed except in You^-azwj! O trust of the one having not trust for him, there is no trust for me apart from You^-azwj! Make for me in my affairs, relief and an outlet, and Grace me from where I am anticipating and from where I am not anticipating!’

ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ يَا مُغِيثُ اجْعَلْ لِي رِزْقاً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ- فَلَنْ يَطْلُعَ عَلَيْكَ نَهَارُ يَوْمِ السَّبْتِ إِلَّا بِرِزْقٍ جَدِيدٍ.

Then do Sajdah upon the ground and say, ‘O Helper! Make for me sustenance from Your^-azwj Grace!’ – for the day of Saturday will not emerge to you except with new sustenance’’.[28]

قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَابُنْدَادَ رَاوِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ‏ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيِّ- رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ إِذَا لَمْ يَكُنِ الدَّاعِي بِالرِّزْقِ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ

Ahmad Bin Mabundad, reported of this Hadeeth said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Saeed Al Amry, may Allah^-azwj be Satisfied with him, ‘When the supplicant does no happen to be with the sustenance in the city, how would he deal with it?’

قَالَ يَزُورُ سَيِّدَنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص- مِنْ عِنْدِ رَأْسِ الْإِمَامِ الَّذِي يَكُونُ فِي بَلَدِهِ

He said, ‘He would visit our Chief Rasool-Allah^-saww, from being by the head of an Imam^-asws who happens to be in his city’.

قُلْتُ‏ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي بَلَدِهِ قَبْرُ إِمَامٍ

I said, ‘Supposing there does not happen to be a grave of an Imam^-asws in his city?’

قَالَ يَزُورُ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَوْ يَبْرُزُ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ وَ يَأْخُذُ فِيهَا عَلَى مَيَامِنِهِ وَ يَفْعَلُ مَا أُمِرَ بِهِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ مُنْجِحٌ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ‏.

He said, ‘He should visit one of the righteous ones, or go out to the desert and take in it to his right and do what he has been instructed with, for that will be successful, if Allah^-azwj so Desires!’’[29]

الْمَكَارِمُ، عَنْ مُيَسِّرٍ مِثْلَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ إِلَّا بِرِزْقٍ جَدِيدٍ.

(The book) ‘Al-Makarim’ – From Muyassir, similar to it up to his^-asws words: ‘Except with new sustenance’’.[30]

قَالَ: وَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا أَصَابَتْ أَهْلَهُ خَصَاصَةٌ نَادَى أَهْلَهُ يَا أَهْلَاهْ صَلُّوا صَلُّوا.

He said, ‘And the Prophet^-saww, whenever his^-saww family members were afflicted with destitution, called out: ‘Oh family, pray Salat, pray Salat!’’[31]

5- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِلْحَاجَةِ رَوَى عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ عَشِيَّةُ يَوْمِ الْخَمِيسِ تَصَدَّقْتَ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ مَسَاكِينَ مُدّاً مُدّاً مِنْ طَعَامٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ اغْتَسَلْتَ وَ بَرَزْتَ إِلَى الصَّحْرَاءِ فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع- وَ اكْشِفْ رُكْبَتَيْكَ وَ أَلْزِمْهُمَا الْأَرْضَ وَ قُلْ

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Fast on the day of Wednesday and the Thursday and the Friday. When it happens to be evening on the day of Thursday give charity to ten poor ones, a handful (Mudd), and handful (Mudd) of food. When it happens to be the day of Friday, bathe and go to the desert and pray Salat of Ja’far^‑asws Bin Abu Talib^‑asws, and uncover your knees and adhere them to the ground and say: –

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Balad’ and others –

It is reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws having said: ‘Fast on the day of Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday. When it happens to be the day of Friday, bathe and wear new clothes, then climb to a high place in your house or go out to your prayer mat in a corner of your house and pray two Cycles Salat reciting in the first Surah(s) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed, and in the second Al Hamd and Al Kafiroun. Then raise your hands towards the sky, and let that be before the midday by half an hour, and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ذَخَرْتُ‏ تَوْحِيدِي إِيَّاكَ وَ مَعْرِفَتِي بِكَ وَ إِخْلَاصِي لَكَ وَ إِقْرَارِي بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ وَ ذَخَرْتُ‏ وَلَايَةَ مَنْ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِمْ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ص لِيَوْمِ فَزَعِي إِلَيْكَ عَاجِلًا وَ آجِلًا وَ قَدْ فَزِعْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِلَيْهِمْ يَا مَوْلَايَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ فِي مَوْقِفِي هَذَا

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have treasured (mentioned) my Unitarianism to You^-azwj, and my recognition of You^-azwj, and my sincerity to You^-azwj, and my acknowledgement of Your^-azwj Lordship, and I have treasured (mentioned) of the one You^-azwj Favoured upon me with recognising them^-asws from Your^-azwj created beings, Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws. My panic to You^-azwj currently and the future, and I am panicking to You^-azwj and them^-asws, O my Master^-azwj during this day and in this pausing!

وَ سَأَلْتُكَ مَادَّتِي‏ مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ إِزَاحَةَ مَا أَخْشَاهُ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ الْبَرَكَةَ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ مَا رَزَقْتَنِيهِ وَ تَحْصِينَ صَدْرِي مِنْ كُلِّ هَمٍّ وَ جَائِحَةٍ وَ مصيبته [مُصِيبَةٍ] فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

And I ask You^-azwj of my well-being from Your^-azwj bounties, and warding off what I fear from Your^-azwj Vengeance, and the Blessings for me in entirety of what You^-azwj have Graced, and Fortifying my chest from every worry, and affliction, and difficulty in my religion and my world, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ خَمْسِينَ مَرَّةً قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ سِتِّينَ مَرَّةً إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ ثُمَّ تَمُدُّ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَقُولُ

Then pray two Cycles Salat, reciting in the first (Surahs) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed fifty times, and in the second Al Hamd once and Al Qadr sixty times, then extend your hands and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي حَلَلْتُ بِسَاحَتِكَ لِمَعْرِفَتِي بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ صَمَدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى قَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي‏ غَيْرُكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا رَبِّ أَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا تَظَاهَرَتْ نِعْمَتُكَ‏ عَلَيَّ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ طَرَقَنِي هَمُّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ أَنْتَ تَكْشِفُهُ وَ أَنْتَ عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ وَ وَاسِعٌ غَيْرُ مُتَكَلِّفٍ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have come to Your^-azwj courtyard due to my recognition of Your^-azwj Oneness and Your Power, and there is no one able upon fulfilling my needs apart from You^-azwj, and You^-azwj have Known, O Lord^-azwj, that every time Your^-azwj bounties have prevailed upon my destitution to You^-azwj has intensified, and the worry of so and so has knocked me down, and You^-azwj can Remove it, and You^-azwj are a Knower without being taught, Capacious without being encumbered.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَاسْتَقَرَّتْ وَ وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى السَّمَاءِ فَارْتَفَعَتْ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj Placed upon the mountains so they were settled, and You^-azwj Placed it upon the sky, so these became lofty!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِالْحَقِ‏ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِنْدَ الْأَئِمَّةِ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ- أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ حَاجَتِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ عَسِيرَهَا وَ أَنْ تَكْفِيَنِي مُهِمَّاتِهَا

And I ask You^-azwj by the right of the One^-azwj which You^-azwj Made it to be with Muhammad^‑saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and with the Imams^-asws – Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and Al-Husayn^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ja’far^-asws, and Musa^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and Al Hujjat^-ajfj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, and to Fulfil my needs, and Ease their difficulties, and to Suffice me of their important ones!

فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ الْمِنَّةُ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ جَائِرٍ فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ غَيْرَ مُتَّهَمٍ فِي قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَائِفٍ فِي عَدْلِكَ-

If You^-azwj Do that, the Praise and the Conferment is for You^-azwj, and if You^-azwj don’t Do so, the Praise is for You^-azwj. You^-azwj are without tyranny in Your^-azwj Judgment and cannot be accused in Your^-azwj Decree, nor is there any cruelty in Your^-azwj Justice!’

وَ تُلْصِقُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ بِالْأَرْضِ وَ تُخْرِجُ رُكْبَتَيْكَ حَتَّى تُلْصِقَهُمَا بِالْمُصَلَّى الَّذِي صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَتَّى عَبْدُكَ وَ نَبِيُّكَ دَعَاكَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ يَا كَرِيمُ

And adhere your right cheek with the ground and bring out your knees until you adhere these with the prayer pat which you are praying upon and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Yunus^‑as Bin Matta^-as, Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Prophet^-as, supplicated to You^-azwj in the belly of a whale, and he^-as was Your^-azwj servant, so You^-azwj Responded to hm^-as, and I am Your^-azwj servant so Respond to me just as You^-azwj had Responded to him^-as!

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ فَأَعِنِّي- السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ يَا كَرِيمُ-

O Living! O Eternal! O there is no god except You^-azwj! With Your^-azwj Mercy I seek help, so Assist me now, now, now, O Benevolent!’

ثُمَّ تَجْعَلُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ تَرُدُّ جَبْهَتَكَ وَ تَدْعُو بِمَا شِئْتَ ثُمَّ اجْلِسْ مِنْ سُجُودِكَ وَ ادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ

Then make your left cheek upon the ground and do similar to that. Then return your forehead and supplicate with whatever you so desire to. Then sit from your Sajdah and supplicate with this supplication: –

اللَّهُمَّ اسْدُدْ فَقْرِي بِفَضْلِكَ وَ تَغَمَّدْ ظُلْمِي بِعَفْوِكَ وَ فَرِّغْ قَلْبِي لِذِكْرِكَ

‘O Allah^-azwj! Block my poverty with Your^-azwj Grace, and Sheath my injustice with Your^-azwj Pardon, and Free my heart for doing Your^-azwj Zikr!

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ رَبَّ السَّبْعِ الْمَثَانِي وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ إِسْرَافِيلَ وَ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رَبَّ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name by which You^-azwj Established the skies and the earths, and by it You^-azwj Sustained the Prophets^-as, and by it You^-azwj Enumerated the number of mountains and measurement of the oceans, and by it You^-azwj Send the winds, and by it You^-azwj Sustain the servants, and by it You^-azwj Enumerated the number of grains of sand, and by it You^-azwj Do whatever You^-azwj Desire, and by it You^-azwj Said to all things: “Be!”, and they came into being.

أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي سُؤْلِي وَ أَنْ تُعَجِّلَ لِيَ الْفَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ خَوْفِي فِي أَتَمِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ أَعْظَمِ عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَفْضَلِ الرِّزْقِ وَ السَّعَةِ وَ الدَّعَةِ مَا لَمْ تَزَلْ تُعَوِّدُنِيهَا

Answer my supplication to me, and Give me my request, and Make relief to be for me from Your^-azwj Possession, by Your^-azwj Mercy, in well-being, and Secure me of my fear in completion of bounties, and mighty well-being, and best sustenance, and the vastness, and the supplication for as long as You^-azwj are not accustomed to it!

يَا إِلَهِي وَ تَرْزُقَنِي الشُّكْرَ عَلَى مَا أَبْلَيْتَنِي وَ تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ تَامّاً أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي حَتَّى تَصِلَ‏ ذَلِكَ بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ

O my God^-azwj, and Grace me the thanking upon what You^-azwj have Tried me, and Make that complete for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Keep me alive until You^-azwj Connect that with Bounties of the Hereafter!

O Allah^-azwj! It has preceded from me what has preceded, from slippage of my feet and what crime I have committed upon myself, and You^-azwj O Lord^-azwj have control from me what I cannot control for myself, and You^-azwj Created me, O Lord^-azwj, and Individualised my creation, and I was not even a thing except with You^-azwj, and I do not hope for good except from You^‑azwj, and I cannot turn any evil from myself except what You^-azwj Turn away from me!

أَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ رَزَقْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ وَ لَمْ أَحْتَسِبْ وَ بَلَغْتَ بِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَرْجُو وَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا قَصُرَ عَنْهُ أَمَلِي فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ أَعْطِنِي فِي قَلْبِي مِنَ الرِّضَا مَا يُهَوِّنُ عَلَيَ بَوَائِقَ الدُّنْيَا

You Taught me, O Lord^-azwj what I didn’t know, and You^-azwj Graced me, O Lord^-azwj what I did not own, and You^-azwj Reached with me, O Lord^-azwj, what I had not hoped for, and You^-azwj Gave me, O Lord^-azwj, what my hopes were deficient from. For You^-azwj is abundant Praise, O Forgiver of the sins! Forgive for me and Grant me in my heart from the satisfaction what would weaken upon me the afflictions of the world!

اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِيَ الْيَوْمَ يَا رَبِّ الْبَابَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْفَرَجُ وَ الْعَافِيَةُ وَ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Open for me today, O Lord^-azwj, the doors in which is the relief and the well-being, and the goodness, all of it!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ كُلُّ مَنْ قَدَّرْتَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ مَقْدُرَةً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَخُذْ عَنِّي بِقُلُوبِهِمْ وَ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ أَسْمَاعِهِمْ وَ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِهِمْ وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَ عَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَ عَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ حَتَّى لَا يَصِلَ إِلَيَّ وَاحِدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِسُوءٍ

O Allah^-azwj, and everyone from Your^-azwj creatures of You^-azwj have Empowered any power for him upon me, Seize on my behalf their hearts, and their tongues, and their hearings, and their sights, and from above them, and from under them, and from their front, and from their back, and from their right, and from their left, and from wherever You^-azwj Desire, and however You^-azwj Desire, and whenever You^-azwj Desire, until not one of them arrives to me with evil!

وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ نُورَ صَدْرِي‏ وَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَ جَلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَ ذَهَابَ غَمِّي وَ اشْرَحْ لِي بِهِ صَدْرِي وَ يَسِّرْ بِهِ أَمْرِي وَ اجْعَلْهُ نُوراً فِي بَصَرِي وَ نُوراً فِي مُخِّي وَ نُوراً فِي عِظَامِي وَ نُوراً فِي عَصَبِي وَ نُوراً فِي قَصَبِي وَ نُوراً فِي شَعْرِي وَ نُوراً فِي بَشَرِي وَ نُوراً مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ نُوراً مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ نُوراً عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ نُوراً عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ نُوراً فِي مَطْعَمِي وَ نُوراً فِي مَشْرَبِي وَ نُوراً فِي مَحْشَرِي وَ نُوراً فِي قَبْرِي وَ نُوراً فِي حَيَاتِي وَ نُوراً فِي مَمَاتِي وَ نُوراً فِي كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنِّي حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَنِي بِهِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ

And Make the Quran a Noor in my chest, and nourishment of my heart, and negation of my grief, and remover of my sorrows, and Expand my chest for me by it, and Ease my affairs with it, and Make it a Noor in my sight, and Noor in my brain, and Noor in my bones, and Noor in my nerves, and Noor in my veins, and Noor in my hair, and Noor in my skin, and Noor from above me, and Noor from beneath me, and Noor on my right, and Noor on my left, and Noor in my food, and Noor in my drink, and Noor in my Resurrection, and Noor in my grave, and Noor in my life, and Noor in my death, and Noor in all things from me until You^-azwj Reach me with it to the Paradise!

يَا نُورُ يَا نُورَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ أَنْتَ كَمَا وَصَفْتَ نَفْسَكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ وَ عَلَى لِسَانِ‏ نَبِيِّكَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ وَ قُلْتُ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُ‏

O Noor! O Noor of the skies and the earth!

Blessed are You^-azwj and Exalted, and You^-azwj Said, and Your^-azwj Words are the truth:

اللَّهُ نُورُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ مَثَلُ نُورِهِ كَمِشْكاةٍ فِيها مِصْباحٌ الْمِصْباحُ فِي زُجاجَةٍ الزُّجاجَةُ كَأَنَّها كَوْكَبٌ دُرِّيٌّ يُوقَدُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ مُبارَكَةٍ زَيْتُونَةٍ لا شَرْقِيَّةٍ وَ لا غَرْبِيَّةٍ يَكادُ زَيْتُها يُضِي‏ءُ وَ لَوْ لَمْ تَمْسَسْهُ نارٌ نُورٌ عَلى‏ نُورٍ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ لِنُورِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يَضْرِبُ اللَّهُ الْأَمْثالَ لِلنَّاسِ وَ اللَّهُ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيمٌ‏

Allah is Light of the skies and the earth. An example of His Light is like a niche wherein is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star ignited from a Blessed tree of olives, neither eastern nor western. Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to, and Allah Strikes examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35].

اللَّهُمَّ فَاهْدِنِي لِنُورِكَ وَ اهْدِنِي بِنُورِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي الْقِيَامَةِ نُوراً مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي تَهْدِينِي بِهِ إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ كُلِّ مَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ تُلْبِسَنِي فِيهِ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ

اللَّهُمَّ أَقِلَّ عَثْرَتِي وَ آمِنْ رَوْعَتِي وَ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي وَ مِنْ فَوْقِي وَ مِنْ تَحْتِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُغْتَالَ مِنْ تَحْتِي

O Allah^-azwj! Reduce my stumbles, and Secure my dread, and protect me from my front, and from behind me, and on my right, and on my left, and from above me, and from below me; and I seek Refuge from being assassinated from under me!

‏ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِي الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَ تَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشاءُ وَ تُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشاءُ وَ تُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشاءُ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا

O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! You Give the Kingdom to whomsoever You so Desire to and Remove the Kingdom from the one You so Desire to, and You Honour the one You so Desire to and Humiliate whom You so Desire to. In Your Hand is the good; surely, You are Able upon everything [3:26], and Beneficent to the world and the Hereafter and its Merciful!

ارْحَمْنِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَ اقْضِ لِي جَمِيعَ حَوَائِجِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ مَلِكٌ وَ أَنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ أَنَّكَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ

Mercy me and Forgive my sins for me, and Fulfil for me entirety of my needs; and I ask You^‑azwj because You^-azwj are King, and You^-azwj are Able upon all things, and whatever You^-azwj Desire of a matter, happens!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً صَادِقاً وَ يَقِيناً لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ كُفْرٌ وَ رَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for sincere Eman and certainty, not having any Kufr after it, and Mercy I can achieve by its nobility of the world and the Hereafter!’’[34]

8- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِلْحَاجَةِ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ تَغْلِبَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ فَصُمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ وَ قُلِ

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Balad’ and others, there is another Salat for the needs reported by Aban Bin Taghlib,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When there happens to be a need for you, fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and pray Salat at midday of the sun beneath the open sky and say:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي حَلَلْتُ بِسَاحَتِكَ بِمَعْرِفَتِي- بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ صَمَدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ أَنَّهُ لَا قَادِرَ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ‏ غَيْرُكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا تَظَاهَرَتْ نِعْمَتُكَ عَلَيَّ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِي إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدْ طَرَقَنِي مِنْ هَمِّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَنْتَ بِكَشْفِهِ عَالِمٌ لِأَنَّكَ عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ وَاسِعٌ غَيْرُ مُتَكَلِّفٍ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have come to Your^-azwj courtyard due to my recognition of Your^-azwj Oneness, and Your^-azwj Force, and that there is no one Able upon Creating apart from You^-azwj, and You^‑azwj have Known that every time Your^-azwj bounties prevail upon me, my destitution to You^‑azwj intensified, and the worries of so and so has knocked me down what You^-azwj more Knowing with it than me, and You^-azwj are more Knowing with its removal because You^-azwj are a Knower without being taught, Capacious without being encumbered.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَنُسِفَتْ وَ عَلَى السَّمَاءِ فَانْشَقَّتْ وَ عَلَى النُّجُومِ فَانْتَثَرَتْ وَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَسُطِحَتْ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj Placed upon the mountains, so these were pulverised, and upon the sky so these were cleft asunder, and upon the stars so these were scattered, and upon the earth so it was spread out!

‏ وَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ عِنْدَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَى وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ ع-

And by the Name which You^-azwj Made to be with Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat and Your^-azwj Blessings be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and with Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and Al-Husayn^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-saww, and Ja’far^-asws, and Musa^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws, and Ali^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws, and Al-Hujjat^-ajfj!

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ لِي حَاجَتِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ لِي عَسِيرَهَا وَ تُفَتِّحَ لِي قُفْلَهَا وَ تَكْفِيَنِي هَمَّهَا- فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ جَائِرٍ فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ لَا مُتَّهَمٍ فِي قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَائِفٍ فِي عَدْلِكَ-

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Fulfil my needs for me, and Ease its difficulties for me, and Open its locks for me, and Suffice me of its worries.  If You^-azwj Do that, for You^-azwj is the Praise without being tyrannical in Your^-azwj Judgment nor can You^-azwj be accused in Your^-azwj Decree, nor is there any cruelty in Your^-azwj Justice!’

ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ يُونُسَ بْنَ مَتَّى عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ دَعَاكَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ فَرَّجَتْ عَنْهُ فَاسْتَجِبْ كَمَا اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَمَا فَرَّجْتَ عَنْهُ-

Then do Sajdah and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Yunus^‑as Bin Matta^-as was Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww. He^-as supplicated to You^-azwj in the belly of a whale and You^-azwj Responded to him^‑saww and Relieved him^-as, so Respond like what You^-azwj had Responded to him^-as, and Relieve me like what You^-azwj had Relieved him^-as!’

ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا حَسَنَ الْبَلَاءِ عِنْدِي يَا كَرِيمَ الْعَفْوِ عَنِّي يَا مَنْ لَا غِنَى لِشَيْ‏ءٍ عَنْهُ يَا مَنْ لَا بُدَّ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ يَا مَنْ مَصِيرُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَيْهِ يَا مَنْ رِزْقُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلَيْهِ تَوَلَّنِي وَ لَا تُوَلِّنِي أَحَداً مِنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ كَمَا خَلَقْتَنِي فَلَا تُضَيِّعْنِي-

Then place your right cheek upon the ground and say, ‘O excellent of the afflictions with me! O Benevolent of the Pardoning me! O One there is no needlessness of anything from Him^-azwj! O One there is no escape for anything from Him^-azwj! O One all things are destined to Him^-azwj! O One the sustenance of all things is upon Him^-azwj! Be in charge of me and do not let anyone from Your^-azwj evil creatures be in charge of me, and just as You^-azwj Created me, do not let me be wasted!’

ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي وَ لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَعُودُ إِلَى السُّجُودِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ لَهَا وَ لِكُلِّ عَظِيمَةٍ وَ أَنْتَ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمُورِ الَّتِي قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِي وَ اكْتَنَفَتْنِي فَاكْفِنِيهَا وَ خَلِّصْنِي مِنْهَا إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِ‏ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

Then place your left cheek upon the ground and say, ‘Allah^-azwj! Allah^-azwj is my Lord^-azwj, and I do not associate anything with Him^-azwj’, ten times, and return to the Sajdah and say, ‘O Allah^‑azwj! You^-azwj are for it and for every mighty matter, and You^-azwj are for these matters which have encompassed me and have surrounded me, so Surround these and finish me from these, surely You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[35]

9- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِلْحَاجَةِ رَوَى يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ غَيْرِ وَاحِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ مُهِمَّةٌ فَلْيَصُمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ قَبْلَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ يُصَلِّيهِمَا قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Balad’, and ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – Another Salat for the need reported by Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from someone else,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One who happens to have an important need for him, let him fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, then he should pray two Cycles before the two Cycles, those he had played before the midday, then he should supplication with this supplication: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الَّذِي‏ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ‏ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الَّذِي خَشَعَتْ لَهُ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ عَنَتْ لَهُ الْوُجُوهُ وَ ذَلَّتْ لَهُ النُّفُوسُ وَ وَجِلَتْ لَهُ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep; [2:255]; and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. To which the voices are humbled, and the faces are submitting to, and the souls are pointed to, and the hearts are palpitating to from fearing You^-azwj!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ مَلِيكٌ وَ أَنَّكَ مُقْتَدِرٌ وَ أَنَّكَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ وَ أَنَّكَ اللَّهُ الْمَاجِدُ الْوَاجِدُ الَّذِي لَا يُحْفِيكَ سَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ نَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَزِيدُكَ كَثْرَةُ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَّا كَرَماً وَ جُوداً

And I ask You^-azwj because You^-azwj are King, and You^-azwj are Powerful, and whatever You^-azwj Desire from a matter happens, and You^-azwj are Allah^-azwj, the Glorified, the Perceiver Who a beggar cannot hide from You^-azwj not can a taker reduce You^-azwj, nor does frequency of the supplication Increase You^-azwj except in Benevolence and Generousity!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ الرَّازِقُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمُحْيِي الْمُمِيتُ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْبَدِي‏ءُ الْبَدِيعُ لَكَ الْفَخْرُ وَ لَكَ الْكَرَمُ وَ لَكَ الْمَجْدُ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الْأَمْرُ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

There is no god except You^-azwj, the Living, the Eternal, and there is no god except You^-azwj the Creator, the Sustainer! There is no god except You^-azwj the Causer of the life and the death, and there is no god except You^-azwj the First, the Initiator! For You^-azwj is the Priding, and for You^-azwj is the Benevolence, and for You^-azwj is the Glory, and for You^-azwj is the Praise, and for You^-azwj is the Command alone, there being no associate for You^-azwj!

Then supplicated with whatever comes to you, you will be Answered if Allah^-azwj so Desires’’.[38]

11- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ‏، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا، صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى لِلْحَاجَةِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ كَانَتْ لَهُ حَاجَةٌ قَدْ ضَاقَ بِهَا ذَرْعاً فَلْيُنْزِلْهَا بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى جَلَّ اسْمُهُ

قُلْتُ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ

I said, ‘How should he do it?’

قَالَ فَلْيَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثُمَّ لْيَغْسِلْ رَأْسَهُ بِالْخِطْمِيِّ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَلْبَسُ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِهِ وَ يَتَطَيَّبُ بِأَطْيَبِ طِيبِهِ ثُمَّ يُقَدِّمُ صَدَقَةً عَلَى امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ بِمَا تَيَسَّرَ مِنْ مَالِهِ ثُمَّ يَبْرُزُ إِلَى أُفُقِ السَّمَاءِ وَ لَا يَحْتَجِبُ وَ يَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ

He^-asws said: ‘Let him fast on the days of Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, then let him wash his head with the hibiscus (shampoo) on the day of Friday, and wear cleanest of his clothes, and perfume with his best perfume, then he should advance a charity upon a Muslim person with what is easy from his wealth, then he should to out to a horizon of the sky not veiling, and face the Qiblah.

وَ يُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأَوَّلَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ لْيَرْكَعْ وَ يَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ فَيَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ ثَانِيَةً فَيَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ فَيَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَإِذَا جَلَسَ لِلتَّشَهُّدِ قَرَأَهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَ يُسَلِّمُ وَ يَقْرَأُهَا بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً

Then let him perform Ruk’u and recite it fifteen times, then raise his head and recite it fifteen times. Then he should do second Sajdah reciting it fifteen times, then get up saying similar to that in the second (Cycle). When he sits for the Tashahhud, recite it five times then perform Tashahhud and Salaam reciting it fifteen times after the Salaam.

ثُمَّ يَخِرُّ سَاجِداً فَيَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَ‏ يَضَعُ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَيَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَضَعُ خَدَّهُ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ فَيَقْرَأُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَى السُّجُودِ فَيَقْرَأُهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ يَبْكِي

Then fall into Sajdah and recite it fifteen times, then place the right cheek upon the ground and recite it fifteen times, then place his left cheek upon the ground and recite it like that, then return to the Sajdah and recite it fifteen times, then he should say while he is crying in Sajdah: –

يَا جَوَادُ يَا مَاجِدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ يَا مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا لَا هَكَذَا غَيْرُهُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ كُلَّ مَعْبُودٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ أَرْضِكَ بَاطِلٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَكَ جَلَّ جَلَالُكَ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ وَ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ عَزِيزٍ تَعْلَمُ كُرْبَتِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي-

‘O Generous! O Glorious! O One! O First! O Last! O One Who does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]. O One Who is like this, there is no one like this apart from Him^-azwj! I testify that every deity from Your^-azwj Throne to settlement of Your^-azwj earth is false except Your^-azwj Face! Majestic is Your^‑azwj Majesty, O Honourer of every humiliated, and O Humiliator of every honourable one! You^-azwj Know my distress, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws and Relieve from me!’

ثُمَّ تَقْلِبُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ وَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ تَقْلِبُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ وَ تَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

Then turn your right cheek and say that thrice, then turn your left cheek and say similar to that’.

قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع فَإِذَا فَعَلَ الْعَبْدُ ذَلِكَ يَقْضِي اللَّهُ حَاجَتَهُ وَ لْيَتَوَجَّهْ فِي حَاجَتِهِ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ يُسَمِّيهِمْ عَنْ آخِرِهِمْ‏.

Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws said: ‘When the servant does that, Allah^-azwj will Fulfill his need, and let him divert regarding his need to Allah^-azwj the Exalted through Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and the greetings be upon them’ – and he should name them^-asws up to their^-asws last one’’.[39]

12- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، رَوَى يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الْكَاتِبُ الْأَنْبَارِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الثَّالِثِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ مُهِمَّةٌ فَصُمْ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ اغْتَسِلْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَى مِسْكِينٍ بِمَا أَمْكَنَ وَ اجْلِسْ فِي مَوْضِعٍ لَا يَكُونُ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ سَقْفٌ وَ لَا سِتْرٌ مِنْ صَحْنِ دَارٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهَا تَجْلِسُ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Jamaal Al Usbou’ – It is reported by Yaqoub Bin Yazeed the scribe of Al Anbar,

‘From Abu Al-Hassan^-asws the 3^rd Al-Askari^-asws having said: ‘When there happens to be an import need for you, then fast on the day of Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and bathe on the day of Friday in the beginning of the day, and give charity to the poor with whatever you are able, and be seated in a place where there does not happen to be a roof between you and the sky nor any curtain from the courtyard, or somewhere else sitting beneath the sky.

وَ تُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى‏ الْحَمْدَ وَ يس- وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ حم الدُّخَانَ وَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ إِذا وَقَعَتِ الْواقِعَةُ- وَ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ تَبارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ- فَإِنْ لَمْ تُحْسِنْهَا فَاقْرَأِ الْحَمْدَ وَ نِسْبَةَ الرَّبِّ تَعَالَى‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ-

And you should pray four Cycles Salat, reciting in the first (Surahs) Al Hamd and Yaseen, and in the second Al Hamd and Al Dukhan, and in the third Al Hamd and Al Waqia, and in the fourth Al Hamd and Al Mulk. If you are not good at it, then recite Al Hamd and attribution of the Exalted Lord^-azwj, Surah Al Tawheed.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ بَسَطْتَ رَاحَتَيْكَ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً يَكُونُ أَحَقَّ الْحَمْدِ بِكَ- وَ أَرْضَى الْحَمْدِ لَكَ وَ أَوْجَبَ الْحَمْدِ لَكَ وَ أَحَبَّ الْحَمْدِ إِلَيْكَ

When he is free, he should extend his palms towards the sky and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^‑azwj is the Praise, a praise happening to be the most rightful of the Praise with You^-azwj, and the most satisfactory of the Praise to You^-azwj, and most obligatory of the Praise to You^-azwj, and the most beloved of the Praise to You^-azwj!

وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ كَمَا رَضِيتَ لِنَفْسِكَ وَ كَمَا حَمِدَكَ مَنْ رَضِيتَ حَمْدَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا حَمِدَكَ بِهِ جَمِيعُ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِعِزِّكَ وَ كِبْرِيَائِكَ وَ عَظَمَتِكَ

And for You^-azwj is the Praise like what Your^-azwj are rightful of, and like what You^-azwj are Satisfied for Yourself^-azwj, and like what was praised by the one who praise of the one You^-azwj satisfied with his praise from entirety of Your^-azwj creatures, and from You^-azwj is the Praise like what entirety of Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, and Your^-azwj Messengers^-as and Your^-azwj Angels had praised You^-azwj with, and like what is befitting for Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Magnificence!

وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً تَكِلُّ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ صِفَتِهِ وَ يَقِفُ الْقَوْلُ‏ عَنْ مُنْتَهَاهُ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً لَا يَقْصُرُ عَنْ رِضَاكَ وَ لَا يَفْضُلُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ مَحَامِدِكَ

And for You^-azwj is the Praise, a praise transcending the tongues from describing it, and the words stop from its ultimate point, and for You^-azwj is the Praise, a praise not being deficient from Your^-azwj Satisfaction, nor does anything preferring it from praising You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّرَّاءِ وَ الضَّرَّاءِ وَ الشِّدَّةِ وَ الرَّخَاءِ وَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ السِّنِينَ وَ الدُّهُورِ

And for You^-azwj is the Praise upon Your^-azwj Favours and Your^-azwj bounties upon me, and with me, and upon what You^-azwj have Place in my care, and Tried me, and Granted me well-being, and Graced me, and Granted me, and Preferred me, and Ennobled me, and Honoured me, and Guided me to Your^-azwj religion, a praise which the description of a describer cannot reach, nor can the words of a speaker realise it!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً فِيمَا آتَيْتَهُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ إِحْسَانِكَ عِنْدِي وَ إِفْضَالِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ تَفْضِيلِكَ إِيَّايَ عَلَى غَيْرِي

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise, a praise regarding what You^-azwj have Given to me of Your^-azwj Favours with me, and Your^-azwj Preferring upon me, and Your^-azwj Preferring me over others!

وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا سَوَّيْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِي وَ أَدَّبْتَنِي فَأَحْسَنْتَ أَدَبِي مَنّاً مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ لَا لِسَابِقَةٍ كَانَتْ مِنِّي فَأَيَّ النِّعَمِ يَا رَبِّ لَمْ تَتَّخِذْ عِنْدِي وَ أَيَّ الشُّكْرِ لَمْ تَسْتَوْجِبْ مِنِّي رَضِيتُ بِلُطْفِكَ لُطْفاً وَ بِكِفَايَتِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَلْقِ خَلَفاً

And for You^-azwj is the Praise upon what You^-azwj have Fashioned of my physique and Disciplined me, and You^-azwj were excellent in disciplining me as a conferment from You^-azwj upon me not due to anything having preceded from me. So, which of the bounties, O Lord^-azwj, You^-azwj did not Seize with me, and which thanks was not obligated from me You^-azwj were Satisfied with gentleness by Your^-azwj Gentleness, and by Your^-azwj Sufficing from entirety of the creatures as replacement?

يَا رَبِّ أَنْتَ الْمُنْعِمُ عَلَيَّ الْمُحْسِنُ الْمُتَفَضِّلُ الْمُجْمِلُ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ الْفَوَاضِلِ وَ النِّعَمِ الْعِظَامِ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Benefactor upon me, the Favourer, the Gracious, the Comprehensive with the Majesty and the Benevolent, and the Merits, and the mighty bounties. For You^-azwj is the Praise upon that!

يَا رَبِّ لَمْ تَخْذُلْنِي فِي شَدِيدَةٍ وَ لَمْ تُسَلِّمْنِي‏ بِجَرِيرَةٍ وَ لَمْ تَفْضَحْنِي بِسَرِيرَةٍ لَمْ تَزَلْ نَعْمَاؤُكَ عَلَيَّ عَامَّةً عِنْدَ كُلِّ عُسْرٍ وَ يُسْرٍ أَنْتَ حَسَنُ الْبَلَاءِ وَ لَكَ عِنْدِي قَدِيمُ الْعَفْوِ- أَمْتِعْنِي‏ بِسَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ جَوَارِحِي وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنِّي

O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj did not Abandon me in adversity, and did not Yield me with the offences, and did not Expose me due to secrets. Your^-azwj bounties did not cease upon me being general during every difficulty and ease. You^-azwj are of excellent afflictions (in my view), and for You^-azwj is ancient Pardoning with me! You^-azwj Let me enjoy with my hearing, and my sight, and my limbs, and whatever the earth contains from me!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنَّ أَوَّلَ مَا أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ حَاجَتِي وَ أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَغْبَتِي وَ أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِهِ بَيْنَ يَدِي مَسْأَلَتِي وَ أَتَفَرَّجُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ طَلِبَتِي الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah^-azwj, and the first of what I ask You^-azwj from my needs, and I seek to You^-azwj from my desires, and I seek means to You^-azwj with it in front of my request, and I seek relief with it to You^-azwj in front of my request, the Salat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ كَأَفْضَلِ مَا أَمَرْتَ أَنْ يُصَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ كَأَفْضَلِ مَا سَأَلَكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ كَمَا أَنْتَ مَسْئُولٌ لَهُ وَ لَهُمْ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

And I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, like best of what You^‑azwj Have Commanded of sending the Salawaat upon them^-asws, like the best of what anyone from Your^-azwj creatures have asked You^-azwj, and just as You^-azwj are the One have been asked for him^-saww and for them^-asws up to the Day of Qiyamah!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيْهِمْ وَ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ لَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ بِعَدَدِ مَنْ لَا يُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِمْ صَلَاةً دَائِمَةً تَصِلُهَا بِالْوَسِيلَةِ وَ الرِّفْعَةِ وَ الْفَضِيلَةِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon them^-asws with the number of the ones sending Salawaat upon them^-asws, and with a number of the ones who do not send Salawaat upon them^-asws, and with a number of the one not sending permanent Salawaat upon them^-asws, sending it with the means, and the kindness, and the merit, and Send Salawaat upon entirety of Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Your^-azwj Messengers^-as, and Your^-azwj righteous servants!

وَ صَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِمْ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً

And O Allah^-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and greetings upon them^-asws, abundant greetings!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مِنْ جُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ أَنَّكَ لَا تُخَيِّبُ مَنْ طَلَبَ إِلَيْكَ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ رَغِبَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ تُبْغِضُ مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ كَذَلِكَ غَيْرُكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and from Your^-azwj Generousity and Your^-azwj Benevolence, surely You^-azwj do not Disappoint the one who seeks to You^-azwj, and asks You^-azwj, and desires regarding what is with You^-azwj, and Hates the one who does not ask You^-azwj, and there isn’t anyone like that apart from You^-azwj!

وَ طَمَعِي يَا رَبِّ فِي رَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ ثِقَتِي بِإِحْسَانِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ حَدَانِي عَلَى دُعَائِكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِنْزَالِ حَاجَتِي بِكَ وَ قَدْ قَدَّمْتُ أَمَامَ مَسْأَلَتِي التَّوَجُّهَ بِنَبِيِّكَ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ الصِّدْقِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ نُورِكَ وَ صِرَاطِكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ الَّذِي هَدَيْتَ بِهِ الْعِبَادَ وَ أَحْيَيْتَ بِنُورِهِ الْبِلَادَ وَ خَصَصْتَهُ بِالْكَرَامَةِ وَ أَكْرَمْتَهُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَ بَعَثْتَهُ عَلَى حِينِ فَتْرَةٍ مِنَ الرُّسُلِ ص

And my eagerness, O Lord^-azwj, is regarding Your^-azwj Mercy and Your^-azwj Forgiveness, and my trust is with Your^-azwj Favours and Your^-azwj Grace guiding me upon supplicating to You^-azwj and the desiring to You^-azwj and descending my needs with You^-azwj, and I have advanced in front of my request the diverting through Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww who came with the truth, and the truthfulness from Your^-azwj Presence, and Your^-azwj Noor, and Your^-azwj straight path which You^-azwj have Guided the servants with, and Revived the cities by his^-saww Noor, and Specialised him^-saww with the honours, and Honoured him^-saww with the martyrdom, and Sent him^-saww upon a gap period of the Rasools^-as.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِسِرِّهِ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِ وَ سِرِّ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبْتَ‏ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ‏

O Allah^-azwj! I am a believer in his^-saww secrets and his^-saww announcements, and secrets of People^-asws of his^-saww Household, those You^-azwj Kept away the uncleanness from them^-asws and Purified them^-asws a Purification, and their^-asws announcements!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِي بِهِمْ مُتَقَبَّلًا-

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and do not Cut off between me and them^-asws, in the world and the Hereafter, and Make my deeds to be Accepted through them^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ دَلَلْتَ عِبَادَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ‏ وَ إِذا سَأَلَكَ عِبادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ أُجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ الدَّاعِ إِذا دَعانِ فَلْيَسْتَجِيبُوا لِي وَ لْيُؤْمِنُوا بِي لَعَلَّهُمْ يَرْشُدُونَ‏

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Pointed the servants upon Yourself^-saww. You^-azwj, Blessed and Exalted Said: And when My servants ask you about Me, I am near; I Answer the supplication of the suppliant when he supplicates to Me; so let them answer to Me and let them believe in me, perhaps they would be rightly Guided [2:186].

وَ قُلْتَ‏ يا عِبادِيَ الَّذِينَ أَسْرَفُوا عَلى‏ أَنْفُسِهِمْ لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏

And You^-azwj Said: ‘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].

وَ قُلْتَ‏ وَ لَقَدْ نادانا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ‏ أَجَلْ يَا رَبِّ وَ نِعْمَ الرَّبُّ أَنْتَ وَ نِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُ

And You^-azwj Said: And Noah had called out to Us, and We are the best of the responders [37:75]. Yes, O Lord^-azwj, and the Best Lord^-azwj You^-azwj are, and the Best Responder!

وَ قُلْتَ‏ قُلِ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ أَوِ ادْعُوا الرَّحْمنَ أَيًّا ما تَدْعُوا فَلَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى‏ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الَّتِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهَا أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهَا أَعْطَيْتَ

And You^-azwj Said: Say: ‘Supplicate to Allah or supplicate to the Beneficent. Whichever (Name) you supplicate with, so for Him are the most excellent Names. [17:110]; and I am calling You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, by Your^-azwj Name which, whenever You^-azwj have been Called by it, You^-azwj have Responded, and whenever You^-azwj have been asked by it, You^-azwj have Given!

وَ أَدْعُوكَ مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ مِسْكِيناً دُعَاءَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَتْهُ الْغَفْلَةُ وَ أَجْهَدَتْهُ الْحَاجَةُ أَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ مَنِ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ بِذَنْبِهِ وَ رَجَاكَ لِعَظِيمِ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ جَزِيلِ مَثُوبَتِكَ-

And I am calling You^-azwj beseeching to You^-azwj as a poor beggar, by a supplication of the one whom the heedlessness has submitted, and the need has exhausted him! I am calling You^-azwj by a supplication of the one who has submitted, and acknowledges with his sins, and hopes to You^-azwj for Your^-azwj mighty Forgiveness, and Your^-azwj plentiful Rewards!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ خَصَصْتَ أَحَداً بِرَحْمَتِكَ طَائِعاً لَكَ فِيمَا أَمَرْتَهُ وَ عَجَّلَ‏ لَكَ فِيمَا لَهُ خَلَقْتَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْلُغْ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! If You^-azwj have Specialised anyone with You^-azwj Mercy for being obedient to You^‑azwj in what You^-azwj had Commanded him, and worked for You^-azwj regarding what You^-azwj had Created him for, so that cannot be reached except by You^-azwj and by Your^-azwj Inclination!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَعَدَّ وَ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةِ مَخْلُوقٍ- رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ جَوَائِزِهِ فَإِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي كَانَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! One who readies and prepares for delegating to a created being hoping for his gifts, and his awards, O my Master^-azwj, to You^-azwj would be my preparations hoping for Your^‑azwj Gifts and Your^-azwj Awards!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي مَسْأَلَتِي وَ حَاجَتِي- ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ مَا شِئْتَ مِنْ حَوَائِجِكَ

I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and to Grant me my request and my need!’ – then ask whatever you desire from your needs.

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا أَكْرَمَ الْمُنْعِمِينَ وَ أَفْضَلَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَأَحْرِجْ صَدْرَهُ وَ أَفْحِمْ لِسَانَهُ وَ اسْدُدْ بَصَرَهُ وَ اقْمَعْ رَأْسَهُ وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُ شُغُلًا فِي نَفْسِهِ وَ اكْفِنِيهِ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

Then you should say, ‘O most Benevolent of the benefactors, and most Superior of the favourers! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws; and the one from Your^-azwj creatures who intends me with evil, Cause discomfort in his chest, and Confound his tongue, and Block his sight, and Suppress his head, and Make a pre-occupation to be for him regarding himself, and Cover him with Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مَجْلِسِي هَذَا آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَ الْمَجَالِسِ الَّتِي أَدْعُوكَ بِهَا مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ جَعَلْتَهُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا مَغْفِرَةً لَا تُغَادِرُ لِي بِهَا ذَنْباً وَ اجْعَلْ‏ دُعَائِي فِي الْمُسْتَجَابِ وَ عَمَلِي فِي الْمَرْفُوعِ الْمُتَقَبَّلِ عِنْدَكَ وَ كَلَامِي فِيمَا يَصْعَدُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ الطَّيِّبِ

And do not Make this sitting of mine to be last of the pacts from sitting which I supplicate to You^-azwj with, beseeching to You^-azwj. If You^-azwj do Make it so, then Forgive my sins for me, all of them, with a forgiveness not leaving behind any sins with it, and Make my supplication to be among the responded, and my actions among the raised Accepted in Your^-azwj Presence, and my speech among what ascends to You^-azwj from the good works!

وَ اجْعَلْنِي مَعَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ فَبِهِمُ

And Make me to be with Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Your^-azwj Elite, and the Imams^-asws, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon them^-asws all!

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَتَوَسَّلُ وَ إِلَيْكَ بِهِمْ أَرْغَبُ فَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ أَقِلْنِي مِنَ الْعَثَرَاتِ وَ مَصَارِعِ الْعَبَرَاتِ-

O Allah^-azwj! I seek means to You^-azwj through them^-asws, and I desire to You^-azwj through them^‑asws, so Answer my supplication, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Uproot me from the stumbles and the obstacles knocking me down!’

ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ وَ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

Then ask Your^-azwj need and fall in Sajdah and say, ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj the Lenient, the Benevolent! There is no god except Allah^-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! Glory be to Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the seven skies and Lord^-azwj of the seven earths, and Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ لَا أَبْلُغُ مِدْحَتَكَ وَ لَا الثَّنَاءَ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ كَمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ اجْعَلْ حَيَاتِي زِيَادَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ اجْعَلْ وَفَاتِي رَاحَةً مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ وَ اجْعَلْ قُرَّةَ عَيْنِي فِي طَاعَتِكَ-

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with Your^-azwj Pardon, from Your^-azwj Punishment, and I seek Refuge with Your^-azwj Satisfaction from Your^-azwj Annoyance, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from You^‑azwj! I can neither reach Your^-azwj Praise nor the extolling Upon You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are just as You^-azwj have Praised upon Yourself^-as! Make my life to be increased from every goodness for me, and Make my death a comfort from every evil, and Make delight of my eyes to be in obeying You^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي لَا تُحْرِقْ وَجْهِي بِالنَّارِ بَعْدَ سُجُودِي لَكَ يَا سَيِّدِي مِنْ غَيْرِ مَنٍّ مِنِّي عَلَيْكَ بَلْ لَكَ الْمَنُّ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ فَارْحَمْ ضَعْفِي وَ رِقَّةَ جِلْدِي وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي مُرَافَقَةَ النَّبِيِّ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ- عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ فِي الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ-

Then you should say, ‘O my trust and my hope! Do not Burn my face with the Hellfire after my having done Sajdah to You^-azwj! For You^-azwj O my Master^-azwj is from without any conferment from me upon You^-azwj, but for You^-azwj is the Conferment with that upon me, therefore Mercy my weakness, and my delicate skin, and Suffice me of what worries me from matters of the world and the Hereafter, and Grace me recognition of the Prophet^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, may the greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, in the lofty ranks of the Paradise!’

ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا نُورَ النُّورِ يَا مُدَبِّرَ الْأُمُورِ يَا جَوَادُ يَا مَاجِدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ يَا مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا وَ لَا يَكُونُ هَكَذَا غَيْرُهُ

Then say, ‘O Light of the lights! O Manager of the affairs! O most Generous! O most Glorious! O First! O Last! O One O One Who does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]. O One Who is like this and no one can be like this apart from Him^-azwj!

يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى وَ لَا فِي الْأَرَضِينَ السُّفْلَى إِلَهٌ سِوَاهُ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيلٍ وَ مُذِلَّ كُلِّ عَزِيزٍ قَدْ وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ عِيلَ صَبْرِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كَذَا وَ كَذَا- وَ تُسَمِّي الْحَاجَةَ وَ ذَلِكَ الشَّيْ‏ءَ بِعَيْنِهِ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ

O One Who, there isn’t in the lofty skies nor in the lowly earths any god apart from Him^-azwj! O Honourer of every humiliated and Humiliator of every honourable! By Your^-azwj Might and Your Majesty! My patience has been exhausted, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Relieve such and such from me!’ – and mention the need, and that thing exactly – ‘Now! Now, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’ – saying that three times while you are in Sajdah.

ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ الدُّعَاءَ الْأَخِيرَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَتَخَضَّعُ وَ تَقُولُ وَا غَوْثَاهْ بِاللَّهِ وَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ وَ بِآلِهِ ص عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ

Then place the right cheek upon the ground and saying the end supplication three times, then raise your head and humble yourself and say, ‘O its help by Allah^-azwj, and by Rasool-Allah^-saww, and by his^-saww Progeny^-asws’ – ten times.

ثُمَّ تَضَعُ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْسَرَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ تَقُولُ الدُّعَاءَ الْأَخِيرَ وَ تَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي مَسَائِلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ أَيْسَرُ مَقَامٍ لِلْحَاجَةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ بِهِ الثِّقَةُ.

Then place your left cheek upon the ground and say the end supplication and beseech to Allah^-azwj the Exalted regarding your request for it is easiest of the places for the need, if Allah^‑azwj so Desires, and trust in Him^-azwj!’’[40]

13- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، وَ الْمُقْنِعُ، إِذَا كَانَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى تَصُومُ ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فَابْرُزْ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى غُسْلٍ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْهَا الْحَمْدَ وَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

(The books) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza^-asws’, and ‘Al Muqnie’ –

‘When there happens to be for you a need to Allah^-azwj the Exalted, you should fast three days – the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday. When it would be the day of Friday, go out (supplicate to) Allah^-azwj before the midday while you are upon a washing. Pray two Cycles Salat reciting in each Cycle from these Surah Al Fatiha and fifteen times Surah Al Tawheed.

فَإِذَا رَكَعْتَ قَرَأْتَ‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ مِنْ رُكُوعِكَ قَرَأْتَهَا عَشْراً فَإِذَا سَجَدْتَ قَرَأْتَهَا عَشْراً ثُمَّ نَهَضْتَ إِلَى الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ بِغَيْرِ تَكْبِيرٍ وَ صَلَّيْتَهَا مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ عَلَى مَا وَصَفْتُ لَكَ وَ اقْنُتْ فِيهَا

When you perform Ruk’u, recite Surah Al Tawheed ten times. When you stand straight from your Ruk’u, recite it ten times. When you do Sajdah, recite it ten times. Then get up to the second Cycles without Takbeer and pray is similar to that, based upon what I^-asws have described to you, and perform Qunout in it.

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهَا حَمِدْتَ اللَّهَ كَثِيراً وَ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ سَأَلْتَ رَبَّكَ حَاجَتَكَ لِلدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

When you are free from it, praise Allah^-azwj a lot and send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and ask your Lord^-azwj your need for the world and the Hereafter.

فَإِذَا تَفَضَّلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ بِقَضَائِهَا فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ شُكْراً لِذَلِكَ تَقْرَأُ الْحَمْدَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ‏- وَ تَقُولُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى فِي رُكُوعِكَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شُكْراً وَ فِي سُجُودِكَ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ وَ حَمْداً

When Allah^-azwj Graces upon you by Fulfilling it, pray two Cycles Salat in appreciation of that, reciting Surah(s) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed, and in the second (Surah Al Hamd and) Al Kafiroun, and say in the first Cycle in your Ruk’u, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj in thanks’, and in your Sajdah, ‘Thanks be to Allah^-azwj and praise!’

وَ تَقُولُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَ فِي السُّجُودِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قضاء [قَضَى‏] حَاجَتِي وَ أَعْطَانِي سُؤْلِي‏ وَ مَسْأَلَتِي.

And you should say in the second Cycles in the Ruk’u and in the Sajdah, ‘The Praise is for Allah^‑azwj Who Fulfilled my need and Granted me my request and what I had asked for!’’[41]

الْفَقِيهُ، قَالَ أَبِي فِي رِسَالَتِهِ إِلَيَ‏ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الصَّلَاتَيْنِ وَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَ أَعْطَانِي مَسْأَلَتِي.

(The book) ‘Al Faqeeh’ –

‘My father said in his letter to me, ‘Then he^-asws mentioned the two Salat(s), and in its end, ‘Grant me my request!’’[42]

14- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، رَأَيْتُ بِخَطِّ حَسَنِ بْنِ طَحَّالٍ ره وَ فِي كُتُبٍ لِأَصْحَابِنَا كَذَا ذَكَرَ جَمَاعَةٌ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ وَ الْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ وَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَجَدْتُ هَذِهِ‏ الْأَسْمَاءَ فِي لَوْحٍ مِنْ نُورٍ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِي وَ لَيْسَ بَيْنَ اللَّوْحِ وَ الْعَرْشِ حِجَابٌ

(The book) ‘Jamaal Al Usbou’ – I saw in the handwriting of Hassan Bin Tahhal, and in the books of our companions like that, mentioned by a group, from Wahb Bin Munabbah and Al-Hassan Al Basry and,

‘Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws Bin Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws, from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘I^-saww these names in a Tablet of light on the night there was ascension with me^-saww, and there isn’t any veil between the Tablet and the Throne.

فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع لَوْ لَا أَنْ تَطْغَى أُمَّتُكَ لَأَخْبَرْتُكَ بِشَأْنِ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَقُولُ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَرَّةً بِهَا ثُمَّ كَادَ أَهْلُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ لَمْ يَقْدِرُوا لَهُ عَلَى مَسَاءَةٍ وَ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا كُلَّ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ مَرَّةً أَوْ مَرَّتَيْنِ لَمْ يَزَلْ فِي أَمَانِ اللَّهِ وَ جِوَارِهِ وَ لَمْ يَقْدِرْ لَهُ أَحَدٌ عَلَى مَكْرُوهٍ

Jibraeel^-as said: ‘Had it not been for transgression of your^-saww community, I^-as would have inform you^-saww with the glory of these names. Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said: ‘One who speaks once with it during the day of Friday, then inhabitants of the skies and the earth will almost not be able upon an evil deed to him; and one who speak with these once during the day of Friday, or twice, will not cease to be in the Safety of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Shelter, and no one will be able upon doing anything abhorrent to him!’

قَالَ الْحَسَنُ الْبَصْرِيُّ لَقَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أُنَاسٍ سِتَّ مَرَّاتٍ فَأَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ فَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي وَ لَقَدْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَى الْحَجَّاجِ وَ قَدْ أَرَادَ قَتْلِي فَقَرَّبَنِي وَ أَدْنَانِي

Al-Hassan Al-Basri said, ‘I had entered to see some people six times and Allah^-azwj had removed their sights so they could not see me, and I had entered to see (the caliph) Al-Hajjaj^-la, and he^‑la had intended to kill me, but (instead) he^-la drew me closer and made me approach.

وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع وَ لَقَدْ دَعَا بِهَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ ع- فَنَجَّاهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ نَارِ نُمْرُودَ بْنِ كَنْعَانَ- وَ لَقَدْ دَعَا بِهَا مُوسَى ع لَمَّا دَخَلَ عَلَى فِرْعَوْنَ بها فَلَمْ يَقْدِرْ عَلَيْهِ

And Ali^-asws said: ‘And Ibrahim^-as has supplicated with these, so Allah^-azwj Rescued him^-as from fire of Nimrod Bin Canaan^-la; and Musa^-as had supplicated with these when he^-as had entered to see Pharaoh^-la and he^-la was not able upon him^-as’’.

قَالَ كَعْبُ الْأَحْبَارِ وَ لَقَدْ دَعَا بِهَا الْخَضِرُ ع فَوَقَعَ فِي عَيْنِ الْحَيَاةِ وَ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ فَنَجَّاهُ اللَّهُ وَ فَدَاهُ بِذِبْحٍ عَظِيمٍ

Ka’ab Al Ahbaar said, ‘And Al-Khizr^-as had supplicated with these, so he^-as fell into the spring of life, and Ismail^-as had spoken with these so Allah^-azwj Granted him^-as salvation and Ransomed him^-as with the mighty sacrifice!’

وَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع مَا دَعَا بِهَا مَكْرُوبٌ إِلَّا فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَتَهُ وَ لَا مَغْمُومٌ إِلَّا وَ نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ غَمَّهُ وَ لَا لِحَاجَةٍ إِلَّا قُضِيَتْ لَهُ مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

And Ali^-asws said: ‘No distressed one will supplicate with these except Allah^-azwj will Relieve his stress from him, nor any sad one except Allah^-azwj will Remove his sadness, nor for any need except it will be fulfilled for him, from needs of the world and the Hereafter!’

وَ قَالَ كَعْبُ الْأَحْبَارِ وَجَدْتُ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ مَنْ قَرَأَهَا فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً كَانَتْ لَهُ قَبُولًا وَ هَيْبَةً وَ بَهَاءً وَ عَظَمَةً وَ جَلَالًا وَ رُتْبَةً عِنْدَ الْمُلُوكِ وَ الْعُظَمَاءِ وَ الْأَشْرَافِ

And Ka’ab Al Ahbaar said, ‘I found in the Torah, ‘One who recites these once during every Friday there would be for him acceptance, and prestige, and magnificent, and majesty, and rank in presence of the king and the great ones and the nobles!’’

وَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص مَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ مُصِيبَةٌ أَوْ نَزَلَتْ بِهِ نَازِلَةٌ مِنْ أَهْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ قَضَى حَوَائِجَهُ وَ أَذْهَبَ غَمَّهُ وَ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ

And the Prophet^-saww said: ‘One who is afflicted by a difficulty, or a calamity befalls with him from horrors of the world and the Hereafter, then he speaks with these names, Allah^-azwj will Relieve from him and Fulfill his needs, and Remove his sadness, and Allah^-azwj will Help against his enemies!’

وَ قَالَ كَعْبُ الْأَحْبَارِ فَمَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ فَلْيَكُنْ طَاهِراً وَ لْيَدْعُ بِهَا فِي كُلِّ جُمُعَةٍ وَ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ فِيمَا يَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ قَضَى وَ حَكَمَ وَ أَوْجَبَ أَنْ لَا يَرُدَّ مَنْ تَكَلَّمَ بِهَا كَائِناً مَنْ كَانَ

And Ka’ab Al-Ahbaar said, ‘The one who intends to speak with these names, let him be clean and let him supplicate with these during every Friday and ask Allah^-azwj regarding what he desires from matters of the world and the Hereafter, for Allah^-azwj will Decree, and Judge, and Obligated that the one who speaks with these will not be rejected, whatever may happen.

وَ لَقَدْ دَعَا بِهَا النَّبِيُّ ص يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ فَنَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى أَعْدَائِهِ وَ هِيَ أَسْمَاءُ اللَّهِ الْمُقَدَّسَةُ الْمُبَارَكَةُ وَ هِيَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ الْمُبَارَكُ‏

And the Prophet^-saww had supplicated with these on the day of Friday, on the day of (battle of) Al-Ahzaab, so Allah^-azwj Helped him^-saww against his^-saww enemies, and these are the Holy Names of Allah^-azwj, the Blessed, and it is this Blessed supplication: –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَخَذْتُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ أَخَذْتُ الْآخِرِينَ وَ أَخَذْتُ الْقَائِمِينَ وَ أَخَذْتُ الْقَاعِدِينَ تَغْشَى أَبْصَارَهُمْ ظُلْمَةٌ وَ تُرْسِلُ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ لَهَباً وَ الْأَرْضَ شُهُباً فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ اللَّهُ يَرْعَانِي وَ يُقَوِّينِي عَلَى الْخَلْقِ‏ بِنُورِ اللَّهِ أَسْتَبْصِرُ وَ بِقُوَّةِ اللَّهِ الْقُدُّوسِ أَسْتَعِينُ اللَّهُ يُعْطِينِي وَ اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْجَبَّارُ يَرْفَعُنِي عَلَى أَجْنِحَةِ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الصَّافِّينَ وَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj have Seized the former ones and Seized the latter ones, and You^-azwj have Seized the standing ones and Seized the sitting ones! You^‑azwj Overwhelm their sights with darkness, and may the sky send the flames upon them, and the earth sparks, so they will be overwhelmed and they will not be seeing! May Allah^-azwj Protect me and Strengthen me upon the creatures (people)! By the Noor of Allah^-azwj I perceive, and by the Strength of Allah^-azwj the Holy I seek Assistance! Allah^-azwj Gives me, and Allah^-azwj is the King, the Subduer! He^-azwj Raises me upon wings of the Cherubim, and the truthful, and the elites, and the glorifiers!

لَكَ اللَّهَ أَدْعُو وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ لَكَ اللَّهَ أَدْعُو إِلَهَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ لَكَ اللَّهَ أَدْعُو إِلَهَ الْكَوَاكِبِ لَكَ اللَّهَ أَدْعُو إِلَهَ الْمَشَارِقِ وَ الْمَغَارِبِ لَكَ اللَّهَ أَدْعُو إِلَهاً مُقَدَّساً

To You^-azwj Allah^-azwj I supplicate, and You^-azwj are Allah^-azwj, most Merciful of the merciful ones! To You^-azwj Allah^-azwj I supplicate, God^-azwj of the sun and the moon! To You^-azwj I supplicate, God^-azwj of the planets! To You^-azwj Allah^-azwj I supplicate, God^-azwj of the easts and the wests! To You^-azwj Allah^-azwj I supplicate God^-azwj of Holiness!

أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ الْوَاسِعَةُ رَحِمَتُهُ الْخَالِقُ كُرْسِيَّ عَظَمَتِهِ الْعَزِيزُ الْعَظِيمُ الْجَلِيلُ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ مَلِكِ الْمُلُوكِ تَكُونُ أَسْمَاؤُكَ هَذِهِ لِي عَضُداً وَ نَصْراً وَ فَتْحاً وَ هَيْبَةً وَ نُوراً وَ عَظَمَةً أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ يَكُونُ لِي حِفْظاً وَ خَلَاصاً وَ نَجَاحاً

You^-azwj are Allah^-azwj, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Great, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Capacious of the Mercy, the Creator of the Magnificent Chair, the Mighty, the Magnificent, the Majestic! Blessed is the Name of Allah^-azwj, King of the kings! Male these Names of Yours^‑azwj happen to be for me a support, and help, and victory, and prestige, and light, and magnificence for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to live, and be for me a protection, and rescue, and success!

أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ تَغْشَانِي رَحْمَتُكَ وَ يَغْشَانِي عِقَابُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَ هَيْبَتِكَ نَجِّنِي مِنَ الْآفَاتِ كَمَا نَجَّيْتَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلَكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ كَمَا كَبَسَ مُوسَى كَلِيمُكَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ هَذِهِ

I am Your^-azwj servant and son of Your^-azwj servant! Your^-azwj Mercy surrounds me and Your^-azwj Punishment terrifies me! By Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Awe, Rescue me from the afflictions like what You^-azwj had Rescued Ibrahim^-as the Friend from the fire, and just as Musa^-as had pressed Pharaoh^-la by Your^-azwj Phrases and by these Names of Yours^-azwj!

فَنَجِّنِي بِهَا وَ كَمَا الْأَرْضُ مَكْبُوسَةٌ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ وَ كَمَا بَنُو آدَمَ مَكْبُوسُونَ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ وَ تَحْتَ مَلَكِ الْمَوْتِ وَ كَمَا مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ مَكْبُوسٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ كَذَلِكَ يَكُونُ الْخَلَائِقُ مَكْبُوسِينَ تَحْتَ قَدَمِي أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي يَا نَاصِرَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Rescue me by these, and just as the is pressed beneath the sky, and just as the children of Adam^-as are pressed beneath the sky and beneath the Angel of death, and just as the Angel of death is pressed in front of Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds, like that the creatures (enemies) be pressed beneath my feet, for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to live, O Helper of the Muslims, and O the One the criers cry out to, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

أَنْتَ لِي حِرْزٌ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ وَ بَنَاتِ حَوَّاءَ وَ أَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَنْ لَا يَسْطُوَ عَلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ

You^-azwj are a Protection for me from entirety of Your^-azwj creatures, and from sons of Adam^-as and daughters of Hawwa^-as and their followers, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans. Not one of them should usurp upon me!

عَزَّ جَارُكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تَمَسَّكْتُ‏ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقى‏ الَّتِي‏ لَا انْفِصامَ لَها الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهَا بَرٌّ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِحَبْلِ اللَّهِ الْمَتِينِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّ فَسَقَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَنْ يُرِيدُ بِي سُوءاً أَوْ يُرِيدُ بِي شَرّاً

Mighty is Your^-azwj Shelter! There is no god except You^-azwj! I hold to the firmest handhold which there is no crack for it, which neither a righteous nor an immoral can surpass it! I hold with the strong rope of Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with Allah^-azwj from evil the mischievous Arabs and the non-Arabs, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and from evil of the one intending me with evil, or intending evil with me!

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ‏ وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بالِغُ أَمْرِهِ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدْراً حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ أُومِنُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَثِقُ وَ بِهِ أَتَعَوَّذُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَعْتَصِمُ

I rely upon Allah^-azwj, and one who relies upon Allah, so He would Suffice him. Surely, Allah would Accomplish His Command. He has Made a measure for all things [65:3]. Allah^-azwj Suffices me. In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and I believe in Allah^-azwj, and I trust with Allah^-azwj and with Him^-azwj I seek Refuge, and with Allah^-azwj I hold!

وَ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ أَسْتَجِيرُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهَا بَرٌّ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ مِمَّا ذَرَأَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا يَطْرُقُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ بِخَيْرٍ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And with Allah^-azwj the Magnificent I seek Shelter from the Pelted Satan^-la! I seek Refuge with the complete Phrases of Allah^-azwj which neither a righteous nor an immoral can surpass, from what is scattered, and created, and from evil of all what knocks at night and the day, except a knocker knocking with good, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ نَاظِرَةٍ وَ أُذُنٍ سَامِعَةٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَارِدٍ وَ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from evil of myself, and from evil of every animal You^‑azwj Seize by its forelock, and from evil of every eye of a beholder, or earth of a listener, and from evil of every rebel and obstinate tyrant!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَلْجَأْتُ ظَهْرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ فِي أُمُورِي عَلَيْكَ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي وَ مَوْلَايَ إِلَهِي فَلَا تُسَلِّمْنِي وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِذُنُوبِي وَ إِسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ يَا مُحْسِنُ يَا جُبَارُ اجْعَلْنِي عَبْداً شَكُوراً

O Allah^-azwj! I shelter my back to You^-azwj and rely upon You^-azwj in my affairs! You^-azwj are my Guardian and my Master, so do not Submit me nor Abandon me, nor Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eyes, and do not Seize me for my sins and my extravagance upon myself, and Assist me my thanking for Your^-azwj bounties, O Favourer, O Subduer, Make be a grateful servant!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ رَبِّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا فَوْقَهُنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

There is no god except You^-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! I have relied upon You^-azwj! You^‑azwj are the Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne! There is no god except You^-azwj the Lenient, the Benevolent! Glory be to Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and Lord^-azwj of the seven skies and whatever is within these, and whatever is above these, and whatever is between these, and Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne! The Praise is for Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْنِي إِلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ لِي فِي قَلْبِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ غِلْظَةٌ وَ لَا يُعَارِضُونِي وَ اجْعَلْهُمْ يَسْتَقْبِلُونِّي بِوُجُوهٍ بَسِيطَةٍ وَ يَقْضُونَ حَوَائِجِي وَ يَطْلُبُونَ مَرْضَاتِي وَ يَخْشَوْنَ سَخَطِي بِاسْمِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ

O Allah^-azwj! Endear me to entirety of Your^-azwj creatures until there does not happen to be any harshness for me in the heart of anyone of Your^-azwj creatures and they will not oppose me, and Make them to accept me with smiling faces and fulfill my needs, and they will seek my satisfaction, and fear my anger, by Your^-azwj Name, the Holy, the Mighty, the most Magnificent!

أَدْعُوكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا نُوراً فِي نُورٍ وَ نُوراً إِلَى نُورٍ وَ نُوراً فَوْقَ نُورٍ وَ نُوراً تَحْتَ نُورٍ يُضِي‏ءُ بِهِ كُلُّ نُورٍ وَ كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ وَ يُطْفَأُ بِهِ شِدَّةُ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ وَ سُلْطَانٍ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِلْمَوْجِ عَلَيْهِمْ سَبِيلٌ وَ بِهِ يَذِلُّ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ يَكُونُ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ وَ اسْتَقْرَرْتَ بِهِ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ وَ عَلَى كُرْسِيِّكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ

I supplicate to You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, O Noor in Noor, and Noor to Noor, and Noor above Noor, and Noor below Noor, and Noor illuminating every light by it and every darkness, and extinguishing by it adversity of every Satan^-la, and ruler, by Your^-azwj Name which the Angels speak with, so there is no way against them for the waves, and by it every obstinate tyrant is humiliated under my feet, by Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj have Named Yourself^-azwj with, and You^-azwj Settled upon Your^-azwj Throne by it, and upon Your^-azwj Chair by Your Mighty Name, the most Magnificent!

يَكُونُ لِي نُوراً وَ هَيْبَةً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ الْخَلْقِ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ أَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيمُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ الْعَظِيمُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ وَارِثَهُ

You^-azwj are the Generous, the Benevolent, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Great, the Magnificent! There is no god except You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj of every thing and its Inheritor!

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Praise-worthy in every Action of Yours^-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones! There is no god except You^-azwj, the Lofty in His^-azwj Majesty! O Allah^-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, O Beneficent to all things and its Mercier! O Causer of death to every thing and its Inheritor! O Living when there was not living being in permanency of His^‑azwj Kingdom and its remaining!

يَا رَافِعُ الْمُرْتَفِعُ فَوْقَ سَمَائِهِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ يَا قَيُّومُ لَا يَفُوتُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ يَا آخِرُ يَا بَاقِي يَا أَوَّلَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ آخِرَهُ يَا دَائِمُ بِغَيْرِ فَنَاءٍ وَ لَا زَوَالٍ لِمُلْكِهِ يَا صَمَدُ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَبِيهٍ فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ كَمِثْلِهِ يَا مُبْدِئَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ مُعِيدَهُ يَا مَنْ لَا يَصِفُ الْوَاصِفُونَ كُنْهَ جَلَالِهِ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ عِزِّهِ وَ جَبَرُوتِهِ

O Raiser to the heights above His^-azwj skies by His^-azwj Power! O Eternal, nothing from His^-azwj creation escapes Him^-azwj! O Last, O Remaining, O First of all things and its last! O Permanent without perishing, not is there decline for His^-azwj Kingdom! O ‘Samad’ without any resemblance, so there is nothing like Him^-azwj! O Initiator of all things and its Repeater! O One Whom the describers cannot describe Essence of His^-azwj Majesty in His^-azwj Kingdom and His^‑azwj Might in His^-azwj Force!

يَا كَبِيرُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي لَا تَهْتَدِي الْعُقُولُ لِصِفَتِهِ فِي عَظَمَتِهِ يَا بَاعِثُ يَا مُنْشِئُ بِلَا مِثَالٍ يَا زَاكِي الطَّاهِرُ مِنْ كُلِّ آفَةٍ يَا كَافِي الْمُتَوَسِّعُ لِمَا خَلَقَ مِنْ عَطَايَا فَضْلِهِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْفَدُ

O Great! You^-azwj are the One Who the intellects cannot guide to His^-azwj description in His^-azwj Magnificence! O Resurrector, O Grower without an example! O Pure, the Clean from every affliction! O Sufficient of the capacity for what He^-azwj has Created from a Grant of His^-azwj Grace which does not deplete!

يَا نَقِيُّ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ [وَ] لَمْ يُخَالِطْهُ فِعَالُهُ يَا جُبَارُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ رَحْمَتُهُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ أَنْتَ الَّذِي قَدْ عَمَّ الْخَلَائِقَ مَنُّهُ وَ فَضْلُهُ:

O Pure from every evil and His^-azwj Actions are not mingled with it! O Subduer! You^-azwj are the One Whose Mercy is Capacious of all things! O Affectionate, O Benefactor! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! You^-azwj are the One Who has Generalised the creatures with His^-azwj Conferment and His^-azwj Grace!

يَا دَيَّانَ الْعِبَادِ وَ كُلٌّ يَقُومُ خَاضِعاً لِهَيْبَتِهِ يَا خَالِقَ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ كُلٌّ إِلَيْهِ مِيعَادُهُ يَا رَحِيمَ كُلِّ صَرِيخٍ وَ مَكْرُوبٍ يَا صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ فَلَا تَصِفُ الْأَلْسُنُ جَلَالَ مُلْكِهِ وَ عِزِّهِ يَا مُبْدِئَ الْبَدَائِعِ لَمْ يَبْتَغِ فِي إِنْشَائِهَا عَوْنَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ

O Judge of the servants, and all stand humbly to His^-azwj Prestige! O Creator of what is in the skies and the earths, and all will be returning to Him^-azwj! O Merciful to every crier and distressed! O Truthful of the Promise. The tongues cannot describe the Majesty of His^-azwj Kingdom and His^-azwj Mighty! O Initiator of every original, not seeking in its growth the assistance of anyone of His^-azwj creatures!

يَا عَالِمَ الْغُيُوبِ فَلَا يَفُوتُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ يَا مُعِيدَ مَا أَفْنَى إِذَا بَرَزَ الْخَلَائِقُ لِدَعْوَتِهِ يَا حَلِيماً ذَا أَنَاةٍ فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ يُعَادِلُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ يَا حَمِيدَ الْفِعَالِ فِي خَلْقِهِ بِلُطْفِهِ يَا عَزِيزُ الْغَالِبُ عَلَى أَمْرِهِ فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ يُعَادِلُهُ

O Knower of the unseen, so nothing from His^-azwj creatures escapes Him^-azwj! O Repeater of what perishes when the creatures come out to supplicate to Him^-azwj! O Forbearing with Ease, so nothing from His^-azwj creation equates Him^-azwj! O Praise-worthy of the Actions among His^‑azwj creatures with the Gentleness! O Mighty of the Prevailing upon His^-azwj matters so nothing can equate Him^-azwj!

يَا ظَاهِرَ الْبَطْشِ الشَّدِيدِ الَّذِي لَا يُطَاقُ انْتِقَامُهُ يَا عَالِي الْقَرِيبُ فِي عُلُوِّهِ وَ ارْتِفَاعِهِ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ يَقْهَرُ سُلْطَانَهُ يَا نُورَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ هُدَاهُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي أَضَاءَتِ الظُّلْمَةُ بِنُورِهِ يَا قُدُّوسُ الطَّاهِرُ فَلَا شَيْ‏ءَ كَمِثْلِهِ

O Apparent of the Intense Prowess which His^-azwj Revenge cannot be endured! O Exalted, the Near in His^-azwj Exaltedness and His^-azwj Loftiness! O Affectionate, O Benefactor! There is nothing which can subdue His^-azwj Authority! O Noor of all things and their Guide! You^-azwj are the One the darkness is illuminated by His^-azwj Noor! O Holy, the Pure, so there is nothing like Him^-azwj!

يَا قَرِيبُ الْمُجِيبُ الْمُتَدَانِي دُونَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَا عَالِي الشَّامِخُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عُلُوُّهُ وَ ارْتِفَاعُهُ يَا بَدِيعَ الْبَدَائِعِ وَ مُعِيدَهَا بَعْدَ فَنَائِهَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ يَا مُتَكَبِّرُ يَا مَنِ الْعَدْلُ أَمْرُهُ وَ الصِّدْقُ وَعْدُهُ يَا مَحْمُوداً فِي أَفْعَالِهِ

O Near, the Responsive, the approachable besides all things! O Exalted, the Lofty in the sky, His^-azwj Exaltedness and His^-azwj Loftiness is above all things! O Initiator of the originals and its Repeater after their perishing, by His^-azwj Power! O Great! O One Whose Command is the Justice, and the truthfulness is His^-azwj Promise! O most Praised in His^-azwj Actions!

فَلَا تَبْلُغُ الْأَوْهَامُ كُنْهَ جَلَالِهِ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ عِزِّهِ يَا كَرِيمَ الْعَفْوِ أَنْتَ الَّذِي مَلَأَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَدْلُهُ وَ فَضْلُهُ يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَفَاخِرِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ فَلَا يُدْرَكُ عِزُّ مُلْكِهِ يَا عَجِيبُ فَلَا تَنْطِقُ الْأَلْسُنُ بِكُلِّ آلَائِهِ وَ ثَنَائِهِ

The imaginations cannot reach Essence of His^-azwj Majesty in His^-azwj Kingdom and His^-azwj Might! O Benevolent of the Pardon which all things are filled with His^-azwj Justice and His^-azwj Grace! O Mighty of the Pride-worthiness and the Greatness, so the Might of His^-azwj Kingdom cannot be realised! O Wonderous, so the tongues cannot speak with all of His^-azwj Favours and His^-azwj Praise!

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ أَمَاناً مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ نُوراً وَ نَصْراً وَ رِفْعَةً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ وَ بَنَاتِ حَوَّاءَ رَبَّ الْأَرْوَاحِ الْفَانِيَةِ وَ الْأَجْسَادِ الْبَالِيَةِ وَ الْأَرْوَاحِ الْمُرْتَفِعَةِ

I ask You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj for safety from Your^-azwj Punishment in the world and the Hereafter; and I ask You^-azwj for Noor, and Help, and loftiness in presence of entirety of Your^-azwj creatures from the sons of Adam^-as and daughters of Hawwa^-as! Lord^-azwj of the perishable souls and the decaying bodies, and the raised souls!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِطَاعَةِ الْعُرُوقِ الْمُلْتَئِمَةِ إِلَى أَمَاكِنِهَا وَ بِطَاعَةِ الْقُبُورِ الْمُتَشَقِّقَةِ عَنْ أَهْلِهَا وَ بِدَعْوَتِكَ الصَّادِقَةِ فِيهِمْ وَ أَخْذِكَ الْحَقَّ مِنْهُمْ إِذَا بَرَزَ الْخَلَائِقُ فَهُمْ مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ وَ شِدَّةِ سُلْطَانِكَ يَنْتَظِرُونَ قَضَاءَكَ وَ يَخَافُونَ عَذَابَكَ وَ يَرْجُونَ رَحْمَتَكَ

And I ask You^-azwj for the obedience of the vein connected to their places, and for obedience of the graves being split open from its occupants, and for Your^-azwj truthful Call regarding them, and Your^-azwj Seizing the rights from them when the creatures come out. So, they will be fearing You^-azwj and severity of Your^-azwj Authority awaiting Your^-azwj Decrees (Judgments) and fearing Your^-azwj Punishment, and hoping for Your^-azwj Mercy!

اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ أَلْقِ عَلَيَّ مَحَبَّةً وَ نُوراً وَ نِعْمَةً وَ هَيْبَةً وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يُسْمَعُ قَوْلِي وَ يُرْفَعُ أَمْرِي عَلَى كُلِّ أَمْرٍ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ الْفَقِيرُ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ

Make me from the ones of Proximity, the successful ones, and Cast love upon me, and Noor, and bounties, and prestige, and Make me from the ones whose words are heard, and my affairs are raised upon ever matter! I am Your^-azwj servant and son of Your^-azwj servant, the poor to Your^-azwj Mercy!

اجْعَلْنِيَ اللَّهُمَّ عَالِياً مُتَعَالِياً يَا نُورَ النُّورِ يَا مِصْبَاحَ النُّورِ أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نُحُورِهِمْ وَ أَسْتَعِيذُ بِكَ مِنْ شُرُورِهِمْ وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاكْفِنِي أَمْرَهِمْ بِلَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ يَا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ‏

Make me, O Allah^-azwj, lofty, exalted! O Noor of the lights! O Beacon of the light! I return (their plots) back into their throats by You^-azwj, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from their evil, and I seek Assistance with You^-azwj against them, therefore Suffice me of their affairs, by there being no might nor strength except with You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!

إِنْ نَشَأْ نُنَزِّلْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ آيَةً فَظَلَّتْ أَعْناقُهُمْ لَها خاضِعِينَ‏ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ‏ يا مُوسى‏ أَقْبِلْ وَ لا تَخَفْ إِنَّكَ مِنَ الْآمِنِينَ‏ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَأَغْلِبَنَّ أَنَا وَ رُسُلِي إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَوِيٌّ عَزِيزٌ

If We Desired to, We would Send down upon them a Sign from the sky, so their necks would be humbled to it [26:4] We are the Messengers of your Lord; they will never reach you. [11:81] ‘O Musa! Come back and do not fear, you are from the Secured ones! [28:31] Allah has Ordained: “Neither I nor My Rasool would be overcome!” Surely, Allah is Strong, Mighty [58:21].

اللَّهُمَّ بِعِزَّتِكَ يَا دَائِمَ الْبَقَاءِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي أَحَطْتَهُ بِحِجَابِ النُّورِ نُورِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ تُضِي‏ءُ بِهِ أَبْصَارُ النَّاظِرِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! By Your^-azwj Might, O permanent of the remaining! I ask You^-azwj by the Name which You^-azwj have Surround the veils of light by it, light of the skies and the earth, illuminating by it sights of the beholders!

عُذْتُ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ يَا اللَّهُ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي تَقُولُ لِلشَّيْ‏ءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَ حَاجَتِي وَ أَنْجَحْتَ طَلِبَتِي وَ يَسَّرْتَ أَمْرِي وَ سَتَرْتَ عَوْرَتِي وَ آمَنْتَ رَوْعَتِي وَ رَزَقْتَنِي نُوراً وَ عِزّاً وَ هَيْبَةً وَ قَبُولًا وَ رِفْعَةً عِنْدَ جَمِيعِ خَلَقِكَ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

I seek Refuge with Your^-azwj Lordship, O Allah^-azwj, and with Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj say for the thing: “Be!”, and it comes into being. Please Fulfill my needs and Make my request to be successful, and Ease my affairs, and Conceal my defects, and Secure my dread, and Grace me Noor, and honour, and prestige, and acceptance, and loftiness in presence of entirety of Your^-azwj creatures, by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ هُوَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْهُ يَا دَائِمَ الْبَقَاءِ أَدِمْ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ أُمُورِي أَوَّلَهَا صَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهَا فَلَاحاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

And by Your^-azwj Name which is capacious of all things, and it is vaster than it, O permanent of the remaining! Make constant what I am in from Your^-azwj bounties and Your^-azwj well-being, and Make my affairs, its beginning to be righteous, and its end to be successful, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ‏.

Then supplicate with whatever you like, for it shall be Answered, if Allah^-azwj so Desires!’’[43]

باب 100 أدعية زوال يوم الجمعة و آداب التوجه إلى الصلاة و أدعيته و ما يتعلق بتعقيب صلاة الجمعة من الأدعية و الأذكار و الصلوات‏

CHAPTER 100 – SUPPLICATION OF MIDDAY ON THE DAY OF FRIDAY, ANDETIQUETTES TO DIVERTING TO THE SALAT AND ITS SUPPLICATION, AND WHAT IS RELATED WITH FOLLOW-UP OF THE FRIDAY SALAT, FROM THE SUPPLICATIONS, AND THE ZIKR, AND THE SALAT(S)

1- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، وَ الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، نَرْوِي عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص فِي السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي يُسْتَجَابُ فِيهَا الدُّعَاءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ يَقُولُ سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ ثُمَّ يَدْعُو بِمَا يَلِيقُ بِالتَّوْفِيقِ‏.

(The books) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ and ‘Al Mutahajjid’ –

‘We are reporting from the Prophet^-saww regarding the hour during which the supplication is Answered on the day of Friday. He^-saww said: ‘Glory be to You^-azwj! There is no Allah except You^-azwj, O Affectionate, O Bestower, O Initiator of the skies and the earth, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’ – then supplicate with what is related with the inclination’’.[44] (recording error)

2- الْجَمَالُ، ذَكَرَ رِوَايَةً يُدْعَى بِهِ عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ وَ قَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ بَيْنَ الْأَذَانِ وَ الْإِقَامَةِ حَدَّثَ أَبُو الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ الْعَلَوِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص سِتْرٌ قَلَّمَا عُثِرَ عَلَيْهِ وَ ذَكَرَ تَمَامَ الْحَدِيثِ وَ فِيهِ

(The book) ‘Al Jamal’ – He mentioned a reported one should supplicate with it at decline of the sun, and one our companions said, at decline of the sun on the day of Friday, and between the Azaan and the Iqama. It is narrated by Abu Al Mufazzal Al Shaybani, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Husayn Al Alawy, from his father, from his grandfather, from his father,

‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws Al-Baqir^-asws having said: ‘There was a curtain for Rasool-Allah^-saww. When he^-saww stumbled upon it’ – and he^-asws mentioned the complete Hadeeth, and in it is: –

يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْ أُمَّتِكَ رَحْمَتِي وَ بَرَكَاتِي وَ رِضْوَانِي وَ تَعَطُّفِي وَ قَبُولِي وَ وَلَايَتِي وَ إِجَابَتِي فَلْيَقُلْ حِينَ تَزُولُ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ يَزُولُ اللَّيْلُ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ جُمْلَتُهُ وَ تَفْسِيرُهُ- إِلَى آخِرِ مَا مَرَّ فِي بَابِ نَوَافِلِ الزَّوَالِ وَ لَمْ نُعِدْهُ هُنَا لِعَدَمِ الِاخْتِصَاصِ بِالْيَوْمِ‏.

‘O Muhammad^-saww, and the one from your community who loves to have my^-saww mercy, and my^-saww blessings, and my^-saww satisfaction, and my^-saww compassion, and my^-saww acceptance, and my^-saww Wilayah, and my^-saww response, let him say when the sun declines, or the night declines, ‘O Allah^-azwj, our Lord^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise, all of it, its total, and its interpretation’ – up to end of what has passed in the chapter on optional (Salats) of the midday, and we will not repeat it over here due to the lack of its specialisation with the day’’.[45]

3- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، فَإِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَلْيَدْعُ بِمَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ- عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and ‘Al Jamal’ –

‘When the sun declines, let him supplicate with what is reported by Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far^-asws: –

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً-

‘There is no Allah except Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj is Greatest, and Glory be to Allah^-azwj, and The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111].

ثُمَّ يَقُولُ يَا سَابِغَ النِّعَمِ يَا دَافِعَ النِّقَمِ يَا بَارِئَ النَّسَمِ يَا عَلِيَّ الْهِمَمِ يَا مُغْشِيَ الظُّلَمِ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ وَ الْكَرَمِ يَا كَاشِفَ الضُّرِّ وَ الْأَلَمِ يَا مُونِسَ الْمُسْتَوْحِشِينَ فِي الظُّلَمِ يَا عَالِماً لَا يُعَلَّمُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ

Then you should say, ‘O Bestower of the bounties, O Repeller of the scourges, O Shaper of the person, O Elevated in the determination, O Dispeller of the darkness, O with the Generousity and the Benevolent, O Remover of the harm and the pain, O Comforter of the lonely in the darkness, O Know not having been taught! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Deal with me what You^-azwj are rightful of!

O One^-azwj Whose Name is a cure, and His^-azwj Zikr is a healing, and obeying Him^-azwj is riches! Mercy the one whose capital of his wealth is the hope, and his weapon is the supplication! Glory be to You^-azwj! There is no Allah except You^-azwj, O Affectionate, O Benefactor, O Initiator of the skies and the earth, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’’[46]

4- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، فَإِذَا تَوَجَّهَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَالْأَفْضَلُ أَنْ يَكُونَ مَاشِياً- ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ ره أَدْعِيَةَ دُخُولِ الْمَسْجِدِ كَمَا مَرَّ فِي بَابِهَا.

(The book) ‘Al-Mutahajjid’ –

‘When you head to the Masjid, the merit is that it should be walking. Then he mentioned supplication of entering the Masjid just as has passed in its chapter’’.[47] (Not a Hadeeth)

5- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، فِي رِوَايَةِ عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يُسَلِّمَ الْحَمْدَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ آخِرَ بَرَاءَةَ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ‏ وَ آخِرَ الْحَشْرِ وَ الْخَمْسَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ آلِ عِمْرَانَ‏ إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ كُفِيَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ.

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – In a report by Umar Bin Yazeed,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One who recites on the day of Friday until he performs Salaam, Surahs – Al Hamd seven times, and Al Falaq seven times, and Al Tawheed seven times, and Al Kafiroun seven times, and Al Naas seven times, and end of Surah Baraat: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. [9:128], and end of Al Hashr, and the five Verses from end of Aal-e-Imran: In the Creation of the skies and the earth [3:190] – up to His^-azwj Words: surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194], it would suffice what is between the Friday to the Friday’’.[48]

6- الْجَمَالُ، وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى يَزِيدُ وَ يَنْقُصُ فِي بَعْضِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ أَرْوِيهَا بِإِسْنَادِي إِلَى جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ مِمَّا ذَكَرَهُ فِي تَهْذِيبِ الْأَحْكَامِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ الْجُمُعَةِ حَتَّى يَنْصَرِفَ جَالِساً مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سَبْعاً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعاً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ‏ سَبْعاً وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ آيَةَ السُّخْرَةِ وَ قَوْلَهُ‏ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ‏ إِلَى آخِرِهَا كَانَ كَفَّارَةَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ.

(The book) ‘Al Jamaal’ – And from that is another report, more or less, in part of what we have mentioned, I have mentioned by my chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may Allah^-azwj be satisfied with him, from what he mentioned in (the book) ‘Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam’, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from his father, from Ibn Al Mugheira, from Al Halby,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One who says after the Friday (Salat) until he disperses, while seated from before he performs Ruk’u – (Surah(s) Al Hamd once, and Al Tawheed seven times, and Al Falaq seven times, and Al Naas seven times, and Ayat Al Kursy, and Ayat Al Sakhra, and His^-azwj Words: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. [9:128] up to its end, it would be an atonement for what is between the Friday to the Friday’’.[49]

ثَوَابُ الْأَعْمَالِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِثْلَهُ‏ وَ لَيْسَ فِيهِ جَالِساً مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ يَرْكَعَ.

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad – similar to it, and there isn’t in it (the words), ‘While seated from before he performs Ruk’u’’.[50]

7- الْجَمَالُ، وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى أَرْوِيهَا بِإِسْنَادِي إِلَى جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي جِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الشَّيْخِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الْقُمِّيِّ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ كِتَابِ ثَوَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ الْحَمْدَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ وَ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فِتْنَةٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى

(The book) ‘Al Jamaal’ – And from that there is another report I am reporting by my chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, from Ali Bin Abu Jeyd, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from the Sheykh Ja’far Bin Suleyman Al Qummi among what he reported in his book ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’, by his chain to,

‘Al-Sadiq^-asws said: ‘One who recites on the day of Friday after his being free from the Friday Salat and before he folds his legs, (Surah(s) Al Hamd seven times, and Al Falaq seven times, and Al Naas seven times – no affliction will befall with him, and not Fitna will hit him up to the day of the next Friday.

فَإِنْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي حَشْوُهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَ عُمَّارُهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ- جَمَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلَى آلِهِمَا الطَّاهِرِينَ.

If he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the people of Paradise which its filling is of Blessings, and its builders are the Angels with our Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww and our father^-as Ibrahim^-as! May Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Gather between him^-saww and Ibrahim^-as in the house of Salaam! May Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as and upon their^-asws Pure Progenies’’.[51]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى مِنْ أَصْلِ الشَّيْخِ الْمُتَّفَقِ عَلَى عِلْمِهِ وَ وَرَعِهِ وَ صَلَاحِهِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فَقَالَ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ حِينَ يُسَلِّمُ وَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَرَبَّعَ الْحَمْدَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِ‏ النَّاسِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ مَرَّةً وَ آيَةَ السُّخْرَةِ الَّتِي فِي الْأَعْرَافِ مَرَّةً وَ آخِرَ بَرَاءَةَ وَ آخِرَ الْحَشْرِ كُفِيَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ.

And from that is another report from an original of the Sheykh, there being consensus upon his knowledge, and his devoutness, and his righteousness, Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, may Allah^-azwj be Satisfied with him. He said what its words are by Abdullah Bin Al Mugheira, from the one who reported it,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One who recites on the day of Friday when he performs Salaat before he squats (shifts his posture), (Surah(s) Al Hamd seven times, and Al Tawheed seven times, and Al Falaq seven times, and Al Naas seven times, and Ayat Al Kursy once, and Ayat Al Sakhra which is in (Surah) Al Araaf once, and end of (Surah) Bara’at, and end of (Surah) Al Hashr, it will suffice what is between the Friday to the Friday’’.[52]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةُ الْأَبْنَاءِ عَنِ الْآبَاءِ مِنْ آلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ وَ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فِتْنَةٌ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى

And from that is a report by the sons from the fathers,

‘From Progeny^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww: ‘One who recites in the end of the Friday Salat with Surah Al Fatiha once, and Al Falaq seven times, no affliction will befall him and no Fitna will afflict him up to the next Friday.

فَإِنْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي حَشْوُهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَ عُمَّارُهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ مَعَ حَبِيبِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ- جَمَعَ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ.

If he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the people of Paradise, which is filled with blessings and inhabited by angels with our beloved Muhammad^-saww and our father^-as Ibrahim^-as, (who prays like this) Allah^-azwj will Gather between him and Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as in the House of Peace!’’[53]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى حَدَّثَ أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَيْدَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نُعَيْمٍ السَّمَرْقَنْدِيِّ عَنِ الْعَيَّاشِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ إِشْكِيبَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ فِي عَقِيبِ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ‏ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ لَمْ يَنْزِلْ بِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ وَ لَمْ تُصِبْهُ فِتْنَةٌ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْأُخْرَى

And from that is another report narrated by Abu Al Husayn Muhammad Bin Haroun Al Tal’albury, from his father, from Haydar Bin Muhammad Bin Nueym Al Samarqandy, from Al Ayyashi, from Al Husayn Bin Ishkeyb, from Al Husayn Bin Yazeed Al Nowraly, from Al Sakuny,

‘From Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘One who recites in follow-up of the Friday Salat, Surah(s) Al Fatiha once and Al Tawheed seven times, and Al Falaq seven times, and Al Fatiha once and Al Naas seven times, no affliction will befall him and no Fitna will afflict him up to the next Friday’.

وَ زَادَنَا بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا أَنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ بَعْدَ الَّذِي ذُكِرَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوى‏ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اللَّيْلَ النَّهارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثاً وَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ وَ النُّجُومَ مُسَخَّراتٍ بِأَمْرِهِ أَلا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ

And one of our companions increase us, ‘He should recite after that which is mentioned, Ayat Al Kursy, and he should say: Surely, your Lord is Allah Who Created the skies and the earth in six days, then Established upon the Throne; He Covers the night over the day, which it pursues incessantly; and the sun and the moon and the stars, made subservient by His Command. Indeed, for Him is the Creation and the Command. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [7:54].

ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَ خُفْيَةً إِنَّهُ لا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ

Call your Lord beseeching and secretly, surely He does not Love the aggressors [7:55].

وَ لا تُفْسِدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ بَعْدَ إِصْلاحِها وَ ادْعُوهُ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً إِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ

And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order, and supplicate to Him fearing and wishing; surely the Mercy of Allah is close to the good doers [7:56].

‏ وَ آخِرَ التَّوْبَةِ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ ما عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ‏

And end of (Surah) Al Tawba: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. It is grievous upon him what is distressing upon you, being full of concern upon you. With the Momineen he is kind, merciful [9:128].

فَإِنْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَعَمَّدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي وَ أَنْزَلْتُ بِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي وَ فَاقَتِي وَ مَسْكَنَتِي وَ أَنَا لِرَحْمَتِكَ أَرْجَى مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي وَ لَمَغْفِرَتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي

If he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have deliberated to You^-azwj with my needs, and descended my poverty and my neediness with You^-azwj today, and I am more hopeful to Your^-azwj Mercy than I am for my deeds, and for Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Mercy being vaster than my sins!

فَتَوَلَّ يَا رَبِّ قَضَاءَ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ هِيَ لِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَيْهَا وَ تَيَسُّرِ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أُصِبْ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي أَحَدٌ سُوءاً غَيْرُكَ وَ لَيْسَ أَرْجُو لِآخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ سِوَاكَ وَ لَا لِيَوْمِ فَقْرِي وَ تَفَرُّدِي فِي حُفْرَتِي إِلَّا أَنْتَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ خَيْرَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ شَرَّ الْآخِرَةِ

O Lord^-azwj! Take charge by Your^-azwj Power to fulfill every need which is for me and that is easy upon You^-azwj. Surely, I have achieved good at all except from You^-azwj and no on Turned evil away from me apart from You^-azwj, and I don’t hope for my Hereafter and my world besides You^-azwj, nor for a day of my poverty and my being alone in my grave except You^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Give me good of the world and good of the Hereafter, and Turn away from me evil of the world and evil of the Hereafter’.

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي حَشْوُهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَ عُمَّارُهَا الْمَلَائِكَةُ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع- جَمَعَ اللَّهُ [بَيْنَهُ وَ] بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ-

O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the people of Paradise the filling of which is Blessings, and the Angels built it, to be with our Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as!’ – Allah^-azwj will Gather between him and Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as in the House of peace.

He said, ‘And it is recommended to send Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws. He should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Salawaat of Your^-azwj Angels and Your^-azwj Prophets^-as upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!’ The one who says that, no sin will be written upon him for a year’’.[54]

قَالَ بِرِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ: يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ- فَمَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَ صَاحِبَ الْأَمْرِ ع‏.

He said, ‘By another report he said, ‘He should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Hasten their^-asws relief!’ The one who says that will not die until he comes across Master of the Command (Al-Qaim^-ajfj)’’.[55]

8- أَعْلَامُ الدِّينِ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع مَنْ قَالَ: عَقِيبَ الظُّهْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ صَلَوَاتِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ- كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَاناً بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ

(The book) ‘A’laam Al Deen’ –

‘From Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws: ‘One who says as follow-up of Al-Zohr on the day of Friday three times, ‘O Allah^-azwj!

وَ مَنْ قَالَ أَيْضاً عَقِيبَ الْجُمُعَةِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ- كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقَائِمِ ع.

And one who says as well as follow-up of the Friday, seven times, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Hasten relief of the Progeny^‑asws of Muhammad^-saww would be from the companions of Al-Qaim^-ajfj’’.[56]

‘Son of Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws, from his father^-asws, from Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘On who recites in the ends of the Friday Salat with (Surah(s) Al Fatiha once and Al Tawheed seven times, and Al Fatiha once and A; Falaq seven times, and Al Fatiha once and Al Naas seven times, no affliction will befall him, and no Fitna will afflict him up to the day of the following Friday.

فَإِنْ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ الَّتِي حَشْوُهَا بَرَكَةٌ وَ عُمَّارُهَا مَلَائِكَةٌ مَعَ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع- جَمَعَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ عَلَى آلِهِمَا الطَّاهِرِينَ‏.

If he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the people of Paradise, the filling of which is Blessings and Angels have built it, to be with our Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww and our father Ibrahim^‑as’ – Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Gather between him and Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as in the House of Peace. May Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as and upon their^-asws Pure Progenies’’.[57]

10- جُنَّةُ الْأَمَانِ، فِي السَّفِينَةِ الْبَغْدَادِيَّةِ لِلسُّلَفِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ التَّوْحِيدَ سَبْعاً بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ حُفِظَ مِنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا.

(The book) ‘Junnat Al Amaan’, ‘In (the book) ‘Al Safina Al Baghdadiya’,

‘From Ibn Abbas, ‘The one who recites (Surah) Al Tawheed seven times after the Friday Salat will be Protected from the Friday to its like (next Friday)’’.[58]

وَ فِي فَضَائِلِ الْقُرْآنِ لِابْنِ الضُّرَيْسِ‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ الْفَاتِحَةَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ سَبْعاً سَبْعاً غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ.

And in ‘Fazaail Al-Quran’ of Ibn Al-Zarees – ‘The one who recites on the day of Friday (Surah(s) Al Fatiha, and Al Mawazateyn seven times, Allah^-azwj will Forgive for him what he had sent ahead of his sins and what he had delayed’’.[59]

وَ فِي مُسْنَدِ أَبِي حَنِيفَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ التَّوْحِيدَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ هُوَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ سَبْعاً سَبْعاً حُفِظَ إِلَى مِثْلِهِ.

And in ‘Musnad’ of Abu Haneefa, ‘From the Prophet^-saww: ‘One who recites (Surah(s) Al Tawheed and Al Mawazateyn after the Friday Salat while he is in his seat, seven times each, will be protected up to its like (next Friday)’’.[60]

وَ فِي جَامِعِ ابْنِ وَهْبٍ، مَرْفُوعاً أَنَّهُ مَنْ قَرَأَ عِنْدَ تَسْلِيمِ الْإِمَامِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ يَتَكَلَّمَ التَّوْحِيدَ وَ الْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ سَبْعاً سَبْعاً حَفَظَهُ اللَّهُ فِي دِينِهِ وَ دُنْيَاهُ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ‏.

And in ‘Jamie’ of Ibn Wahb, raising it, ‘The one who recites at the performance of the Salaam by the prayer leader on the day of Friday, before he folds his legs and talks, (Surah(s) Al Tawheed and Al Mawazateyn, seven times each, Allah^-azwj will Protect him in his religion and his world, and his wife and his children’’.[61]

وَ فِي جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ، عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الظُّهْرَيْنِ‏ عَدَلَ سَبْعِينَ رَكْعَةً.

And in ‘Jamie’ of Al-Bazanty – from Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘One who sends Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws in what is between the two Al-Zohr(s), will equate to seven Cycles of Salaat’’.[62]

وَ عَنْهُ ع‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ تَسْلِيمِهِ مِنَ الظُّهْرِ الْحَمْدَ سَبْعاً وَ الْقَلَاقِلَ سَبْعاً وَ آخِرَ بَرَاءَةَ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ‏ السُّورَةَ وَ خَمْسَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آلِ عِمْرَانَ‏ إِنَّ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ‏ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ‏ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ كُفِيَ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ-

And from him^-asws: ‘One who recites on the day of Friday after his having performed Salaam of Al Zohr (Salat), (Surah(s) Al Hamd seven times, and ‘Al Qalaqil’ (Al Kafiroun, Al Tawheed, Al Falaq, Al Naas) seven times, and end of (Surah) Baraat: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. [9:128], the Chapter, and five Verses from (Surah) Aal-e-Imran^-as: In the Creation of the skies and the earth [3:190] – up to His^-azwj Words: surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194], it would suffice what is between the Friday to the Friday’.

وَ مِمَّا يَخْتَصُّ عَقِيبَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى صَلَاةٌ و بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى بَرَكَةٌ

And from what is special as follow-up of the Friday is, he should pray after theses Salat(s), ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain any Salawaat, and Bless upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there do not remain any Blessings!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى سَلَامٌ اللَّهُمَّ وَ ارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا تَبْقَى رَحْمَةٌ-

O Allah^-azwj, and Greet unto Muhammad^-azwj and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain any greetings! O Allah^-azwj, and Mercy Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain any Mercy!’

وَ رَأَيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ بِرِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ هِيَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ صَلَوَاتِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ ارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى لَا يَبْقَى مِنْ سَلَامِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ.

And I saw these Salawaat(s) in another report, and it is: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain anything from Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Mercy Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain anything from Your^-azwj Mercy, and Bless upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain anything from Your^-azwj Blessings, and Greet unto Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww until there does not remain anything from Your^-azwj Greetings!’’[63]

ثُمَّ قَالَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي الرِّوَايَةِ الْأُولَى رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَى النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ مُحِيَتْ خَطَايَاهُ وَ أُعِينَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَ هُيِّئَ لَهُ أَسْبَابُ الْخَيْرِ وَ أُعْطِيَ أَمَلَهُ وَ بُسِطَ فِي رِزْقِهِ وَ كَانَ مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فِي الْجَنَّةِ

Then he, may Allah^-azwj have Mercy on him, said in the first reports, ‘It is reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘One who Sends Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws with these Salawaat(s), it will delete his sins, and he will be assisted against his enemies, and the cause of goodness will be prepared for him, and he will be given his wishes, and there will be extension in his sustenance, and he would be from the friends of Muhammad^-saww in the Paradise!’

وَ ذَكَرَهَا أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ مُلَخَّصُ قِصَّتِهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ اتُّهِمَ بِسَرِقَةِ بَعِيرٍ فَحَنَّ الْبَعِيرُ مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ وَ رَغَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص الْبَعِيرُ قَدْ شَهِدَ بِبَرَاءَتِهِ لِأَجْلِ مَا صَلَّى عَلَيَّ بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ

And Abu Ak Qasim Al-Tabrani mentioned it in the book ‘Al-Dawaat’ and summarised its story – ‘The Prophet^-saww was brought a man who had been accused of stealing a camel. The camel groaned and grunted immediately. The Prophet^-saww said: ‘The camel has testified by its grunting due to the reason of what it has sent Salawaat upon me^-saww with this Salawaat!’

وَ أَمَّا الرِّوَايَةُ الثَّانِيَةُ فَذَكَرَهَا صَاحِبُ كِتَابِ الْوَسَائِلِ إِلَى الْمَسَائِلِ وَ مُلَخَّصُ قِصَّتِهَا أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَدْ أُتِيَ بِرَجُلٍ قَدْ شَهِدَ عَلَيْهِ جَمَاعَةٌ أَنَّهُ قَدْ سَرَقَ نَاقَةً فَهَمَّ النَّبِيُّ ص بِقَطْعِهِ فَقَالَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَتَكَلَّمَتِ النَّاقَةُ بِبَرَاءَتِهِ وَ قَالَتْ إِنَّهُ بَرِي‏ءٌ مِنْ سَرِقَتِي فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص

And as for the second report, it is mentioned by author of the book ‘Al-Wasaail’ and he summarised its story – ‘The Prophet^-saww had been brought a man who had been testified against by a group that he had stolen a she-camel. The Prophet^-saww though of cutting him (his hand). He said this Salawaat, and the she-camel spoke of his innocence, and it said, ‘He is innocent of having stolen me’.

لَمَّا قَالَ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ يَخْرِقُونَ سِكَكَ الْمَدِينَةِ يَحُولُونَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لَتَرِدَنَّ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ وَ وَجْهُكَ‏ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ.

When it had said this Salawaat, I looked at the Angels tearing through the markets of Al-Medina forming a barrier between me and it. Then the Prophet^-saww said: ‘You will return to the Bridge and your face will be more illuminative than the full moon on the night of the full moon’’.[64]

11- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رَوَى أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْإِمَامِ‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ صَلَّى عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ قَالَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ أَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ- قَضَى اللَّهُ لَهُ مِائَةَ حَاجَةٍ ثَمَانِينَ مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ رُوِيَ عَكْسُهُ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – It is reported by Anas Bin Malik (well-known fabricator) who said,

‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘One who recites on the day of Friday after Salat of the prayer leaders, (Surah) Al Tawheed one hundred times, and sends Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws one hundred times, and says seventy times, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Suffice me with Your^-azwj Permissible from Your^-azwj Prohibition, and Make me needless from the ones besides You^-azwj, with Your^-azwj Grace!’ – Allah^-azwj will Fulfill for him one hundred needs, eighty from needs of the Hereafter and twenty from needs of the world’. And it has been reported its vice versa’’.[65]

12- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْجَمَالُ، رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ الدُّعَاءُ بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ اللَّهُمَّ اشْتَرِ مِنِّي نَفْسِيَ الْمَوْقُوفَةَ عَلَيْكَ الْمَحْبُوسَةَ لِأَمْرِكَ بِالْجَنَّةِ مَعَ مَعْصُومٍ مِنْ عِتْرَةِ نَبِيِّكَ ص مَخْزُونٍ لِظُلَامَتِهِ مَنْسُوبٍ بِوِلَادَتِهِ تَمْلَأُ بِهِ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا وَ قِسْطاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْماً وَ جَوْراً

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and ‘Al Jamaal’ – It is reported by Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws, from Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws: ‘One who supplicates on the day of Friday the supplication after Al-Zohr, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Buy my soul from me, pausing to You^-azwj withheld for Your^-azwj Command, for the Paradise with the Infallible family of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, treasured for (eliminating) its injustices, attributed to his^-ajfj birth filling the earth by him^-ajfj with justice and equity like what it would have been filled with injustice and tyranny!

وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ تَقَدَّمَ فَمَرَقَ أَوْ تَأَخَّرَ فَمُحِقَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ لَزِمَ فَلَحِقَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي شَهِيداً سَعِيداً فِي قَبْضَتِكَ

And do not Make me from the ones who had preceded to they deviated, or lagged behind so they were obliterated, and Make me from the ones who necessitated so they caught up, and Make me a martyr, fortunate, in Your^-azwj Grip!

يَا إِلَهِي سَهِّلْ لِي نَصِيباً جَزْلًا وَ قَضَاءً حَتْماً لَا يُغَيِّرُهُ شَقَاءٌ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ هَدَيْتَهُ فَهُدِيَ وَ زَكَّيْتَهُ فَنَجَا وَ وَالَيْتَ فَاسْتَثْنَيْتَ‏ فَلَا سُلْطَانَ لِإِبْلِيسَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا سَبِيلَ لَهُ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَا اسْتَعْمَلْتَنِي فِيهِ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ فَاجْعَلْ فِي الْحَلَالِ مَأْكَلِي وَ مَطْعَمِي وَ مَلْبَسِي وَ مَنْكَحِي وَ قَنِّعْنِي‏

O my Allah^-azwj! Make my share abundant and certain, with a Decree that adversity cannot change. Make me among those whom You^-azwj have Guided, so they are guided, whom You^‑azwj have Purified, so they are saved, and whom You^-azwj have Chosen, so they are distinct. There is no authority for Satan^-la over them, no way for him^-la to reach them. Whatever You^-azwj have Utilised me in, make it lawful for me in my sustenance, food, clothing, marriage, and Make me contented.

يَا إِلَهِي بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رِزْقٍ فَأَرِنِي فِيهِ عَدْلًا حَتَّى أَرَى قَلِيلَهُ كَثِيراً وَ أَبْذُلَهُ فِيكَ بَذْلًا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ طَوَّلْتَ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا أَمَلَهُ وَ قَدِ انْقَضَى أَجَلُهُ وَ هُوَ مَغْبُونٌ عَمَلُهُ‏ أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ

O my Allah^-azwj! From what You^-azwj have Provided me and from the sustenance You^-azwj have Given me, show me justice in it, so that I may see its little as being a lot and spend it in Your^‑azwj way generously. Do not Make me one whose hope You^-azwj prolonged in the world and his term has ended, but his deeds are in vain. I entrust this to You^-azwj!

يَا إِلَهِي غُدُوِّي وَ رَوَاحِي وَ مَقِيلِي وَ أَهْلَ وَلَايَتِي مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ هُوَ أَوْ كَائِنٌ زَيِّنِّي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ بِالتَّقْوَى وَ الْيُسْرِ وَ اطْرُدْ عَنِّي وَ عَنْهُمُ الشَّكَّ وَ الْعُسْرَ وَ امْنَعْنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ مِنْ ظُلْمِ الظَّلَمَةِ وَ أَعْيُنِ الْحَسَدَةِ

O my Allah^-azwj! My morning, my evenings, my support, and the people of my friendship, whether they are present or absent, Adorn me and them with piety and ease. Ward off from me and from them doubt and difficulty, and Protect me and them from the injustice of the unjust and the eyes of envious!

وَ اجْعَلْنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ مِمَّنْ حَفِظْتَ وَ اسْتُرْنِي وَ إِيَّاهُمْ فِيمَنْ سَتَرْتَ وَ اجْعَلْ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ أَئِمَّتِي وَ قَادَتِي وَ آمِنْ رَوْعَتَهُمْ وَ رَوْعَتِي وَ اجْعَلْ حُبِّي وَ نُصْرَتِي وَ دِينِي فِيهِمْ وَ لَهُمْ

And Make me and them among those whom You^-azwj have Protected, and Cover me and them in the way You^-azwj have Covered. Make the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings, as my Imams^-asws and guides, and the ones I trust in their^‑asws safety and mine. Let my love, support, and religion be regarding them^-asws and for them^-asws!

فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ وَكَلْتَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي زَلَّتْ قَدَمِي مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا صَنَعْتَ بِي يَا رَبِّ إِنْ هَدَيْتَنِي لِلْإِسْلَامِ وَ بَصَّرْتَنِي مَا جَهِلَهُ غَيْرِي وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي مَا أَنْكَرَهُ غَيْرِي وَ أَلْهَمْتَنِي مَا ذَهَلُوا عَنْهُ وَ فَهَّمْتَنِي قَبِيحَ مَا فَعَلُوا وَ صَنَعُوا حَتَّى شَهِدْتُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ مَا لَمْ يَشْهَدُوا وَ أَنَا غَائِبٌ فَمَا نَفَعَهُمْ قُرْبُهُمْ وَ لَا ضَرَّنِي بُعْدِي وَ أَنَا مِنْ تَحْوِيلِكَ إِيَّايَ عَنِ الْهُدَى وَجِلٌ وَ مَا تَنْجُو نَفْسِي إِنْ نَجَتْ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ لَنْ يَهْلِكَ مَنْ هَلَكَ إِلَّا عَنْ بَيِّنَةٍ

Indeed, if You^-azwj Leave me to myself, my steps will falter. How excellent is what You^-azwj have Done with me, O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj Guided me to Islam, and you Granted me insight into what others were ignorant of. You^-azwj Made me aware of what others denied, Inspired me with what bewildered them, and Enlightened me about the ugliness of their deeds. You^-azwj Made me understand what they failed to comprehend, until I witnessed in the matter what they did not witness, while I was absent. Their proximity did not benefit them, and my remoteness did not harm me, while I am in fear of You^-azwj Turning me away from guidance, and my soul can only find salvation through You^-azwj, and the one being destroyed will never be destroyed except from evidence!

رَبِّ نَفْسِي غَرِيقُ خَطَايَا مُجْحِفَةٍ وَ رَهِينُ ذُنُوبٍ مُوبِقَةٍ وَ صَاحِبُ عُيُوبٍ جَمَّةٍ فَمَنْ حَمِدَ عِنْدَكَ نَفْسَهُ فَإِنِّي عَلَيْهَا زَارٍ وَ لَا أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ بِإِحْسَانٍ وَ لَا فِي جَنْبِكَ سُفِكَ دَمِي وَ لَمْ يُنَحِّلِ الصِّيَامُ وَ الْقِيَامُ جِسْمِي

My Lord^-azwj! My soul is drowning in unjust sins, and is pledged to the destructive sins, and am accompanied by numerous defects. Whoever praises himself before You^-azwj, then I am against such self-praise. I do not intercede to You^-azwj with any merit, and on Your^-azwj Side, my blood is not shed. Fasting and standing in Salat have not weakened my body!

فَبِأَيِّ ذَلِكَ أُزَكِّي نَفْسِي وَ أَشْكُرُهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَحْمَدُهَا بِهِ بَلِ الشُّكْرُ لَكَ اللَّهُمَّ لِسَتْرِكَ عَلَى مَا فِي قَلْبِي وَ تَمَامِ النِّعْمَةِ عَلَيَّ فِي دِينِي وَ قَدْ أَمَتَّ مَنْ كَانَ مَوْلِدُهُ مَوْلِدِي وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ لَجَعَلْتَ مَعَ نَفَادِ عُمُرِهِ عُمُرِي مَا أَحْسَنَ مَا فَعَلْتَ بِي

So, by what means can I purify and thank my soul for it, and praise it for it? Rather, the thanks are to You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, for Covering what is in my heart and for the completeness of the Blessings upon me in my religion. You^-azwj have Caused the one whose birth is my birth, to die, and if You^-azwj had so Desire, You^-azwj could have Made his entire lifespan my own. How excellent is what You^-azwj have Dealt with me!

يَا رَبِّ لَمْ تَجْعَلْ سَهْمِي فِيمَنْ لَعَنْتَ وَ لَا حَظِّي فِيمَنْ أَهَنْتَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ مِلْتُ بِهَوَايَ وَ إِرَادَتِي وَ مَحَبَّتِي فَفِي مِثْلِ سَفِينَةِ نُوحٍ فَاحْمِلْنِي وَ مَعَ الْقَلِيلِ فَنَجِّنِي

O Lord^-azwj! Why have You^-azwj not Made my share among the ones You^-azwj have Cursed, and my portion with those whom You^-azwj have Disgraced? I have chosen the path and desire of Muhammad^-azwj and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may the greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws. I am fed up of my whims and my intentions, and my loves, therefore Carry me in similar to the ship of Noah^-as and Rescue me with the few.

وَ فِيمَنْ زَحْزَحْتَ عَنِ النَّارِ فَزَحْزِحْنِي وَ فِيمَنْ أَكْرَمْتَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ فَأَكْرِمْنِي وَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ رِضْوَانُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَعْتِقْنِي-

And whomever You^-azwj have moved away from the Fire, move me away, and Honour me among the ones you Honoured with Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may the greetings be upon him^‑saww and upon them^-asws, and by the right of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat and Your^-azwj Mercy and Your^-azwj Satisfaction be upon them^-asws, Liberate me from the Hellfire!’

ثُمَّ اسْجُدْ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ الَّتِي بَعْدَ الظُّهْرِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ قُلْ فِيهَا مَا تَقَدَّمَ ذِكْرُهُ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ.

Then perform a Sajdah of thanks which is after Al-Zohr (Salat) during every day and say in it from the supplication what its mention has preceded’’.[66]

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Jamaal’ –

‘And it is reported from them^-asws: ‘The one who prays Al Zohr on the day of Friday and prays two Cycles after it, reciting in the first (Surah(s) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed seven times, and in the second similar to that, and he says after his recitation, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the people of Paradise which its filling is Blessings and its builders are the Angels, to be with our Prophet^-saww Muhammad^-saww and our father^-as Ibrahim^-as’ – no affliction will harm him and no Fitna will afflict him up to the next Friday, and Allah^-azwj will Gather between him and Muhammad^-saww and Ibrahim^-as’’.[67]

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ and others – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Muslim,

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘One who intends for a pregnancy to be for him (his wife), let him pray two Cycles Salat after the Friday (Salat), prolonging the Ruk’u and the Sajdah in these, and saying after these: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ زَكَرِيَّا ع- إِذْ نَادَاكَ‏ رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنِي فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوارِثِينَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ فَهَبْ لِي‏ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعاءِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj with what Zakariya^-as had asked his^-as Lord^-azwj when he^-as called out: ‘Lord! Do not leave me as an individual, and you are the best of the inheritors [21:89]. O Allah^-azwj! ‘My Lord! Grant me good offspring from You, surely You are the Hearer of the supplication’ [3:38]!

اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ اسْتَحْلَلْتُهَا وَ فِي أَمَانَتِكَ أَخَذْتُهَا فَإِنْ قَضَيْتَ فِي رَحِمِهَا وَلَداً فَاجْعَلْهُ غُلَاماً مُبَارَكاً زَكِيّاً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فِيهِ نَصِيباً وَ لَا شِرْكاً.

O Allah^-azwj! I have made it lawful in Your^-azwj Name, and in Your^-azwj trust, I have taken her. If You^-azwj Decide to Bless her with offspring, make him a Blessed, virtuous boy, and do not let Satan^-la to have any share or association in him!’’[68]

(The books) ‘Junnat Al-Amaan’, and ‘Balad Al Ameen’, from the book ‘Daf’a Al Humoum Wa Al Ahzaan’ –

‘It is reported that the one who happens to have a need for him, let him fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday. When it will be the day of Friday, he should cleanse and go and donate charity, be it little or more, with the loaf of bread to what is less than that in more or less.

فَإِذَا صَلَّى الْجُمُعَةَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ‏ الَّذِي‏ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ‏ الَّذِي مَلَأَتْ عَظَمَتُهُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ

When he has prayed the Friday Salat he should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1],Who there is no Allah except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22], Who  there is no Allah except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep; [2:255]; and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1], Whose Magnificence fills the skies and the earth!

And I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. To which the voices are humbled, and the faces are submitting to, and the souls are pointed to, and the hearts are palpitating to from fearing Him^-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and to Fulfill such and such regarding me!’ – and do not teach your foolish ones for they will be supplicating with it and it will be Answered for them, and do not supplicate with it regarding a sin nor cutting a kinship’’.[69]

باب 101 الأعمال و الدعوات بعد صلاة العصر يوم الجمعة

CHAPTER 101 – THE ACTS OF WORSHIP AND THE SUPPLICATION AFTER Al-Asr SALAT ON THE DAY OF FRIDAY

1- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ، ذَكَرَ دُعَاءَ الْعَشَرَاتِ وَ أَنَّهُ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ سَبَبٌ لِقَضَاءِ الْحَاجَاتِ وَرَدَ فِي الرِّوَايَاتِ أَنَّهُ لَا يُدْعَى بِهِ إِلَّا عَلَى طَهَارَةٍ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ قُدِّسَ سِرُّهُ إِنِّي وَقَفْتُ عَلَى خَمْسِ رِوَايَاتٍ بِدُعَاءِ الْعَشَرَاتِ تَخْتَلِفُ رِوَايَتُهَا فِي النُّقْصَانِ وَ الزِّيَادَاتِ وَ هَا أَنَا أَذْكُرُ مَا لَعَلَّهُ أَصْلَحُ فِي الرِّوَايَاتِ‏

(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – He mentioned supplication of the tens, from the important ones after Al-Asr Salat on the day of Friday, and cause of fulfilment of the needs, referred in the reports that it should not be supplicated with it except being upon cleanliness, facing the Qiblah. The Seyyid, may his soul be sanctified, said, ‘I paused upon five reports with supplication of the tens. Their reports are different in the reduction and the addition, and over here I am mentioning what is perhaps more correct in the reports.

رَوَيْنَا ذَلِكَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى جَدِّيَ السَّعِيدِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ الْحَافِظِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ ثَعْلَبَةَ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْفَيْضِ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ

We are reporting that by our chains to my grandfather Al Saeed Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, by his chain to Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Saeed Ibn Uqdah Al Hafiz, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Fazzal, from Sa’alba Bin Maymoun, from Salih Bin Al Fayz, from Abu Maryam, from Abdullah Bin Ata’a who said,

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يَا بُنَيَّ إِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ أَنْ يُمْضِيَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَقَادِيرَهُ وَ أَحْكَامَهُ عَلَى مَا أَحَبَّ وَ قَضَى وَ سَيُنْفِذُ اللَّهُ قَضَاءَهُ وَ قَدَرَهُ وَ حُكْمَهُ فِيكَ

‘It is narrated to me by Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Baqir^-asws, from his^-asws father Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, from his^-asws father Al-Husayn^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, from his^-asws father Amir^-asws Al-Momineen^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws all, he^‑asws said: ‘O my^-asws son^-asws! It is inevitable that Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Accomplish His^-azwj Pre-determination and His^-azwj Judgments based upon what He^-azwj Likes, and Decrees, and Allah^-azwj will Implement His^-azwj Decrees and His^-azwj Determinations and His^‑azwj Judgment regarding you^-asws!

فَعَاهِدْنِي يَا بُنَيَّ أَنَّهُ لَا تَلْفِظُ بِكَلِمَةٍ مِمَّا أُسِرُّ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي بِاثْنَيْ عَشَرَ شَهْراً فَإِنِّي أُخْبِرُكَ بِخَبَرٍ أَصْلُهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى تَقُولُهُ غُدْوَةً وَ عَشِيَّةً

Make a pact with me^-asws O my^-asws son^-asws that you^-asws will not utter any phrase from what I^‑asws am divulging to you^-asws until I^-asws die and after my^-asws death by twelve months, for I^-asws shall inform you^-asws with news, its original is from Allah^-azwj the Exalted, which you^-asws will say every morning and evening.

فَيَشْتَغِلُ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ يُعْطَى كُلُّ مَلَكٍ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ كَاتِبٍ فِي سُرْعَةِ الْكِتَابَةِ وَ يُوَكَّلُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لَكَ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَلَكٍ يُعْطَى كُلٌّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةَ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ وَ يُبْنَى لَكَ فِي الْفِرْدَوْسِ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ قَصْرٍ فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ بَيْتٍ تَكُونُ فِيهَا جَارَ جَدِّكَ ع وَ يُبْنَى لَكَ فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ بَيْتٌ تَكُونُ فِيهِ جَارَ أَهْلِكَ وَ يُبْنَى لَكَ فِي جَنَّةِ عَدَنٍ أَلْفُ مَدِينَةٍ

It will pre-occupy a million Angels, each Angel from them being given strength of a million scribes in quickness of the writing, and a million Angels will be allocated to you, each Angels of them being given strength of a million seekers of Forgiveness, and a million castles will be built for you in Al-Firdows, in each castle being a million rooms in which there will be a neighbour of your^-asws ancestors in it, and there will be built for you^-asws in the House of Peace a room wherein would be a neighbour of your family, and there will be built for you in the Garden of Eden a thousand cities!

وَ يُحْشَرُ مَعَكَ مِنْ قَبْرِكَ كِتَابٌ نَاطِقٌ بِالْحَقِّ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا لَا سَبِيلَ‏ لِلْفَزَعِ وَ لَا لِلْخَوْفِ وَ لَا لِمَزَلَّةِ الصِّرَاطِ وَ لَا لِلْعَذَابِ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَمُوتُ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ شَهِيدٌ وَ تَكُونُ حَيَاتُكَ مَا حَيِيتَ وَ أَنْتَ سَعِيدٌ وَ لَا تُصِيبُكَ فَقْرٌ أَبَداً وَ لَا فَزَعٌ وَ لَا جُنُونٌ وَ لَا بَلْوَى أَبَداً

And there will emerge from your grave, a book speaking with the truth saying, ‘This one, there is neither any way for the panic, nor for the fear, nor for slips on the Bridge, nor for the Punishment upon him; and you^-asws will not die except and you^-asws will be a martyr, and your^‑asws life, for as long as you^-asws live, you^-asws will be fortunate, and neither will poverty afflict you^-asws, ever, nor panic, nor insanity, nor calamity, ever!

وَ لَا تَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِدَعْوَةٍ فِي يَوْمِكَ ذَلِكَ فِي حَاجَةٍ مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا أَتَتْكَ كَائِنَةً مَا كَانَتْ بَالِغَةً مَا بَلَغَتْ فِي أَيِّ نَحْوٍ شِئْتَ وَ لَا تَطْلُبُ إِلَيْهِ حَاجَةً لَكَ وَ لَا لِغَيْرِكَ مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا سُبِّبَ لَكَ قَضَاؤُهَا

And you^-asws will not supplicate to Allah^-azwj Mighty and majestic with a supplication during that day of yours^-asws regarding any need from the needs of the world and the Hereafter except that it will come to you^-asws, whatever it may be, whatever extent in whichever approximation you desire, and you^-asws will not seek to it any need for you^-asws nor for others, from matters of the world and the Hereafter except its fulfilment will be cause for you^-asws!

وَ يُكْتَبُ لَكَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِعَدَدِ أَنْفَاسِ أَهْلِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ بِكُلِّ نَفَسٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ حَسَنَةٍ وَ يُمْحَى عَنْكَ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ سَيِّئَةٍ وَ تُرْفَعُ لَكَ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ دَرَجَةٍ وَ يُوَكَّلُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لَكَ الْعَرْشُ وَ الْكُرْسِيُّ وَ الْفِرْدَوْسُ حَتَّى تَقِفَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

And it shall be written during every day of the number of souls of the people of ‘Al-Saqalayn’ (Jinn and humans), a million good deed for every millions souls, and a million evil deeds will be deleted from you^-asws, and a million ranks will be raised for you^-asws, and there will be allocated to seek Forgiveness for you^-asws, the Throne, and the Chair, and Al-Firdows until you^‑asws stand in front of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic.

فَعَاهِدْنِي يَا بُنَيَّ أَنْ لَا تُعَلِّمَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ لِأَحَدٍ إِلَى مَحَلِّ مَنِيَّتِكَ فَعَاهَدَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ ع عَلَى ذَلِكَ

Make a pact with me^-asws, O my^-asws son^-asws, that you^-asws will not teach this supplication to anyone up to the time of your^-asws death!’ Al-Husayn^-asws made a pact to him^-asws upon that.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَإِذَا بَلَغَ مَحَلُّ مَنِيَّتِكَ فَلَا تُعَلِّمْهُ أَحَداً إِلَّا أَهْلَ بَيْتِكَ وَ شِيعَتَكَ وَ مَوَالِيَكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ وَ عَلَّمْتَهُ كُلَّ أَحَدٍ طَلَبُوا الْحَوَائِجَ إِلَى رَبِّهِمْ تَعَالَى فِي كُلِّ نَحْوٍ فَقَضَاهَا لَهُمْ

Ali^-asws said: ‘When you^-asws reach your^-asws death, do not teach it to anyone except your^-asws family members and your^-asws Shias and your^-asws friends, for if you^-asws don’t do that and you^‑asws teach it to every one, they will seek the needs to their Lord^-azwj the Exalted in every way, and He^-azwj will Fulfill it for them!

وَ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَتِمَّ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَتُحْشَرُونَ وَ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لا أَنْتُمْ تَحْزَنُونَ‏ وَ لَا تَدْعُو بِهِ إِلَّا وَ أَنْتَ طَاهِرٌ وَ وَجْهُكَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ فَإِنْ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ كَانَ أَفْضَلَ فَعَاهَدَهُ الْحُسَيْنُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ

And I^-asws would love it if you (Shias) would complete what you are upon so you will be Resurrected and there will neither be fear upon you nor will you be grieving, and do not supplicate with it except while you^-asws are clean and your^-asws face is facing the Qiblah. If you^‑asws do that during the day of Friday after Al-Asr Salat, it would be better’. Al-Husayn^-asws made a pact to him^-asws upon that.

فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع يَا بُنَيَّ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ ذَلِكَ فَقُلْ وَ ذَكَرَ الدُّعَاءَ.

Ali^-asws said: ‘O my^-asws son^-asws! Whenever you^-asws intend that, then say’ – and he^-asws mentioned the supplication’’.[70]

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ وَ حَدَّثَنِي يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ بْنِ زِيَادٍ الضَّرِيرُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْفَيْضُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَبْدِ الْغَفَّارِ بْنِ الْقَاسِمِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع

He said, ‘And Abu Al Abbas Bin Saeed said, ‘And it is narrated to me by Yaqoub Bin Yusuf Bin Ziyad Al Zareer who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al Feyz Bin Al Fazl, from Abu Maryam Abdul Gaffar Bin Al Qasim, from Abdullah Bin Ata’a, from Abu Ja’far^-asws.

قَالَ أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ وَ حَدَّثَنِي الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ الْخَيْبَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ الْعُرَنِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَطَاءٍ

Abu Al Abbas said, ‘And it is narrated to  me my Al-Husayn Bin Al Hakam Al Khaybari who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Hassan Bin Husayn Al Urany, from Abu Maryam, from Abdullah Bin Ata’a,

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع‏ الدُّعَاءُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ

From Abu Ja’far^-asws the supplication: ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! In the Name of Allah^-azwj, and by Allah^-azwj, and 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!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ‏ آناءَ اللَّيْلِ‏ وَ أَطْرافَ النَّهارِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ‏ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ‏ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ‏

And you should say ten times – ‘O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

And you should say ten times – ‘O Living! There is no god except You^-azwj!’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

And you should say ten times – ‘There is no god except You^-azwj!’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏

And you should say ten times – ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful!’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ

And you should say ten times – ‘Say, He Allah^-azwj is One!’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً اللَّهُمَّ اصْنَعْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَصْنَعْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ‏ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى‏ وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ أَنَا أَهْلُ‏ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْخَطَايَا فَارْحَمْنِي يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

And you should say ten times – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Deal with me what You^-azwj are rightful of and do not Deal with me what I am rightful of, surely You^-azwj are rightful of being feared and rightful of the Forgiving, and I am rightful of the sins and the wrong-doings. Therefore, Mercy me, O my Master^-azwj, and You^-azwj are most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’

وَ تَقُولُ عَشْراً آمِينَ آمِينَ

And you should say ten times – ‘Ameen! Ameen!’

ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ فَإِنَّكَ تُجَابُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ‏.

Then ask Your^-azwj need, for you shall be Answered, if Allah^-azwj so Desires!’’[71]

2- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ غَيْرُهَا، رَوَى جَابِرٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏ فِي عَمَلِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْهَجْتَ سَبِيلَ الدَّلَالَةِ عَلَيْكَ بِأَعْلَامِ الْهِدَايَةِ بِمَنِّكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ أَقَمْتَ لَهُمْ مَنَارَ الْقَصْدِ إِلَى طَرِيقِ أَمْرِكَ بِمَعَادِنِ لُطْفِكَ

(The books) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Jamal Al Usbou’, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ and others in a report by Jabir,

‘From Abu Ja’far^-asws, from Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws regarding acts of worship on the day of Friday after Al-Asr (Salat) – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Indeed, You^-azwj have Guided the path of guidance with the signs of righteousness. You^-azwj have Shown the way to Your^-azwj creation through the beacons of guidance, and You^-azwj have established for them the lighthouse of purpose according to Your^-azwj Gentleness!

وَ تَوَلَّيْتَ أَسْبَابَ الْإِنَابَةِ إِلَيْكَ بِمُسْتَوْضَحَاتٍ مِنْ حُجَجِكَ قُدْرَةً مِنْكَ عَلَى اسْتِخْلَاصِ أَفَاضِلِ عِبَادِكَ وَ حَضّاً لَهُمْ عَلَى أَدَاءِ مَضْمُونِ شُكْرِكَ

You^-azwj have Directed them to the path of Your^-azwj Command through the treasures of Your^‑azwj Kindness. You^-azwj have Turned to them with the means of turning back to You^-azwj, clarified through the evidences of Your^-azwj Authority. It is by Your^-azwj Capability to extract the virtues of Your^-azwj servants, and as a favour to them to fulfill the assurance of gratitude!

وَ جَعَلْتَ تِلْكَ الْأَسْبَابَ لِخَصَائِصَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِحْسَانِ عِنْدَكَ وَ ذَوِي الْحِبَاءِ لَدَيْكَ تَفْضِيلًا لِأَهْلِ الْمَنَازِلِ مِنْكَ وَ تَعْلِيماً أَنَّ مَا أَمَرْتَ بِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مُبَرَّأٌ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ شَاهِداً فِي إِمْضَاءِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَى عَدْلِكَ وَ قَوَامِ وُجُوبِ حُكْمِكَ

You^-azwj have Made these reasons distinct qualities for the people of excellence in Your^-azwj Sight and for those endowed with sincerity before You^-azwj, distinguishing them with special Favour over the dwellers of Your^-azwj abode. You^-azwj have Made it known that what You^-azwj have Commanded in this regard is free from dependence on any power or might except Yours^‑azwj. You^-azwj are a Witness in validating the evidence of Your^-azwj Justice and the foundation of the necessity of Your^-azwj Judgment!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدِ اسْتَشْفَعْتُ الْمَعْرِفَةَ بِذَلِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ وَثِقْتُ بِفَضِيلَتِهَا عِنْدَكَ وَ قَدَّمْتُ الثِّقَةَ بِكَ وَسِيلَةً فِي اسْتِنْجَازِ مَوْعُودِكَ وَ الْأَخْذِ بِصَالِحِ مَا نَدَبْتَ إِلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ وَ انْتِجَاعاً بِهَا مَحَلَّ تَصْدِيقِكَ وَ الْإِنْصَاتَ إِلَى فَهْمِ غَبَاوَةِ الْفَطِنِ عَنْ تَوْحِيدِكَ عِلْماً مِنِّي بِعَوَاقِبِ الْخِيَرَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I have sought intercession through knowledge to You^-azwj, placing my trust in its virtue before You^-azwj. I have advanced with confidence in You^-azwj as a means to attain Your^‑azwj Promised reward, taking hold of the righteous deeds to which You^-azwj have called Your^-azwj servants. I retreat to it as a place of affirming Your^-azwj Truthfulness, listening to the understanding of those enlightened about Your^-azwj Oneness, knowing from me the consequences of goodness in that.

وَ اسْتِرْشَاداً لِبُرْهَانِ آيَاتِكَ وَ اعْتَمَدْتُكَ حِرْزاً وَاقِياً مِنْ دُونِكَ وَ اسْتَنْجَدْتُ الِاعْتِصَامَ بِكَ كَافِياً مِنْ أَسْبَابِ خَلْقِكَ فَأَرِنِي مُبَشِّرَاتٍ مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ تَفِي بِحُسْنِ الظَّنِّ بِكَ وَ تَنْفِي عَوَارِضَ التُّهَمِ لِقَضَائِكَ فَإِنَّهُ ضَمَانُكَ لِلْمُجْتَهِدِينَ‏ وَ وَفَاؤُكَ لِلرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ

I seek guidance by referring to the evidence of Your^-azwj Signs, and I rely on You^-azwj as a Safeguard and Protector besides whom there is none. I seek help in adhering to You^-azwj, as You^-azwj are sufficient among the causes of Your^-azwj creation. So, show me glad tidings of Your^-azwj response, enough to confirm my good opinion of You^-azwj and dispel the doubts of suspicions about Your^-azwj Decrees. Surely, it is Your^-azwj Guarantee for the diligent and Your^‑azwj Fulfilment for those who turn to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا أَذِلَّنَّ عَلَى التَّعَزُّزِ بِكَ وَ لَا أَسْتَقْفِيَنَّ نَهْجَ الضَّلَالَةِ عَنْكَ وَ قَدْ أَمَّتْكَ رَكَائِبُ طَلِبَتِي وَ أُنِيخَتْ‏ نَوَازِعُ الْآمَالِ مِنِّي إِلَيْكَ وَ نَاجَاكَ عَزْمُ الْبَصَائِرِ لِي فِيكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا أُسْلَبَنَّ عَوَائِدَ مِنَنِكَ غَيْرَ مُتَوَسِّمَاتٍ‏ إِلَى غَيْرِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not humiliate me by seeking strength from anyone other than You^-azwj, and do not let me deviate from the path of guidance away from You^-azwj. The horses of my desires have galloped, and the reins of hopes pull me towards You^-azwj. The determination of discerning minds beseeches You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, and do not let me seize the returns of Your^‑azwj Favours, except those that are clearly directed towards others!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ جَدِّدْ لِي صِلَةَ الِانْقِطَاعِ إِلَيْكَ وَ اصْدُدْ قُوَى سَبَبِي عَنْ سِوَاكَ حَتَّى أَفِرَّ عَنْ مَصَارِعِ الْهَلَكَاتِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَحُثَّ الرِّحْلَةَ إِلَى إِيثَارِكَ بِاسْتِظْهَارِ الْيَقِينِ فِيكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Renew for me the connection that has been severed with You^-azwj, and Divert the strength of my reliance from any source other than You^-azwj. Guide me away from anything other than You^-azwj until I distance myself from the pitfalls of destruction and turn towards You^-azwj. I hasten the journey towards Your^-azwj Generosity by displaying unwavering conviction in You^-azwj.

فَإِنَّهُ لَا عُذْرَ لِمَنْ جَهِلَكَ بَعْدَ اسْتِعْلَاءِ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا حُجَّةَ لِمَنِ اخْتَزَلَ عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْعِلْمِ بِكَ مَعَ إِزَاحَةِ الْيَقِينِ مَوَاقِعَ‏ الشُّكُوكِ فِيكَ

There is no excuse for those who remain ignorant of You^-azwj after the elevation of praise for You^-azwj, and there is no argument for those who neglect the path of knowledge about You^‑azwj while displacing certainty with doubts about You^-azwj.

وَ لَا يَبْلُغُ إِلَى فَضَائِلِ الْقِسَمِ إِلَّا بِتَأْيِيدِكَ وَ تَسْدِيدِكَ فَتَوَلَّنِي بِتَأْيِيدٍ مِنْ عَوْنِكَ وَ كَافِنِي عَلَيْهِ بِجَزِيلِ عَطَائِكَ

May I not reach the virtues of commitment except through Your^-azwj Support and Guidance. Turn me with assistance from Your^-azwj Aid, and Suffice me abundantly with Your^-azwj generous gifts!

اللَّهُمَّ أُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ أَحْسَنَ الثَّنَاءِ لِأَنَّ بَلَاءَكَ عِنْدِي أَحْسَنُ الْبَلَاءِ أَوْقَرْتَنِي نِعَماً وَ أَوْقَرْتُ نَفْسِي ذُنُوباً كَمْ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَسْبَغْتَهَا عَلَيَّ لَمْ أُؤَدِّ شُكْرَهَا وَ كَمْ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ أَحْصَيْتَهَا عَلَيَّ أَسْتَحْيِي مِنْ ذِكْرِهَا وَ أَخَافُ جَزَاءَهَا إِنْ تَعْفُ لِي عَنْهَا فَأَهْلُ ذَلِكَ أَنْتَ وَ إِنْ تُعَاقِبْنِي عَلَيْهَا فَأَهْلُ ذَلِكَ أَنَا

O Allah^-azwj! I praise You^-azwj with the best Praise, for Your^-azwj Trials upon me are the best of Trials. You^-azwj have Granted me abundant Blessings, and I have burdened my soul with sins. How many Favours You^-azwj have Showered upon me, and I have not fulfilled their gratitude. How many mistakes You^-azwj have Enumerated against me, and I am ashamed to mention them. I fear their consequences, and if You^-azwj Forgive me for them, then You^-azwj are the Worthy one to do so. If You Punish me for them, then I am deserving of it!

اللَّهُمَّ فَارْحَمْ نِدَائِي إِذَا نَادَيْتُكَ وَ أَقْبِلْ عَلَيَّ إِذَا نَاجَيْتُكَ فَإِنِّي أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي وَ أَذْكُرُ لَكَ حَاجَتِي وَ أَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ مَسْكَنَتِي وَ فَاقَتِي وَ قَسْوَةَ قَلْبِي وَ مَيْلَ نَفْسِي فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتُ‏ فَمَا اسْتَكانُوا لِرَبِّهِمْ وَ ما يَتَضَرَّعُونَ‏

O Allah^-azwj! Have Mercy on my supplication when I call upon You^-azwj, and Turn towards me when I confide in You^-azwj. Indeed! I confess my sins to You^-azwj, mention my needs to You^-azwj, complain to You^-azwj about my dwelling place, my state, the hardness of my heart, and the inclination of my soul. For You^-azwj have Said: and they are not being humble to their Lord and are not submitting [23:76].

وَ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا إِلَهِي قَدِ اسْتَجَرْتُ بِكَ وَ قَعَدْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مُسْتَكِيناً مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ رَاجِياً لِمَا عِنْدَكَ تَرَانِي وَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي نَفْسِي وَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَ تَعْرِفُ حَاجَتِي وَ مَسْكَنَتِي وَ حَالِي‏ وَ مُنْقَلَبِي وَ مَثْوَايَ وَ مَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَبْتَدِئَ فِيهِ مِنْ مَنْطِقِي

Here I am, O my God^-azwj, having sought refuge in You^-azwj. I sit before You^-azwj, humble and supplicating, seeking from You^-azwj what is with You^-azwj. You^-azwj See me, Know what is in my heart, Hear my words, Understand my needs, my dwelling, my condition, my turning points, my destination, and what I intend to express through my speech!

وَ الَّذِي أَرْجُو مِنْكَ فِي عَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي وَ أَنْتَ مُحْصٍ لِمَا أُرِيدُ التَّفَوُّهَ بِهِ مِنْ مَقَالِي جَرَتْ مَقَادِيرُكَ بِأَسْبَابِي وَ مَا يَكُونُ مِنِّي فِي سَرِيرَتِي وَ عَلَانِيَتِي وَ أَنْتَ مُتَمِّمٌ لِي مَا أَخَذْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِيثَاقِي وَ بِيَدِكَ لَا بِيَدِ غَيْرِكَ زِيَادَتِي وَ نُقْصَانِي

And I hope from You^-azwj, regarding the outcome of my affairs, as You^-azwj are well-Acquainted with what I wish to express through my words. Your^-azwj Decrees have been set in motion by my actions, and whatever unfolds from me, whether in private or in public, You^-azwj are the completer of what You^-azwj have taken as a covenant from me. In Your^-azwj Hand, not in the hands of others, is my increase and decrease.

وَ أَحَقُّ مَا أُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ قَبْلَ الذِّكْرِ لِحَاجَتِي وَ التَّفَوُّهِ بِطَلَبِي شَهَادَتِي بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِقْرَارِي بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ الَّتِي ضَلَّتْ عَنْهَا الْآرَاءُ وَ تَاهَتْ فِيهَا الْعُقُولُ وَ قَصُرَتْ دُونَهَا الْأَوْهَامُ وَ كَلَّتْ عَنْهَا الْأَحْلَامُ فَانْقَطَعَ دُونَ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهَا مَنْطِقُ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ كَلَّتِ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ غَايَةِ وَصْفِهَا

The most deserving of what I present to You^-azwj before mentioning my needs and expressing my requests is my testimony to Your^-azwj Oneness and my acknowledgment of Your^-azwj Sovereignty, a sovereignty from which opinions have deviated, intellects have gone astray, imaginations have fallen short, and imaginations have failed to grasp. It is beyond the comprehension of creation is the essence of its knowledge, and tongues are silenced in describing its ultimate description!

فَلَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ شَيْئاً مِنْ وَصْفِكَ وَ يَعْرِفَ شَيْئاً مِنْ نَعْتِكَ إِلَّا مَا حَدَّدْتَهُ وَ وَصَفْتَهُ وَ وَقَّفْتَهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ بَلَّغْتَهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ أَنَا مُقِرٌّ بِأَنِّي لَا أَبْلُغُ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ مِنْ تَعْظِيمِ جَلَالِكَ وَ تَقْدِيسِ مَجْدِكَ وَ تَمْجِيدِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ وَ الْمَدْحِ لَكَ وَ الذِّكْرِ لِآلَائِكَ

So, no one can comprehend anything from Your^-azwj description or know anything from Your^‑azwj Attributes except what You^-azwj have Specified, Described, Established, Conveyed, and I acknowledge that I cannot fully grasp the due reverence of Your^-azwj Majesty, the sanctification of Your^-azwj Glory, the magnification of Your^-azwj Glory, Your^-azwj Generosity, and the praise, commendation, and the Zikr of Your^-azwj Favours!

وَ الْحَمْدِ لَكَ عَلَى بَلَائِكَ وَ الشُّكْرِ لَكَ عَلَى نَعْمَائِكَ وَ ذَلِكَ مَا تَكِلُّ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ صِفَتِهِ وَ تَعْجِزُ الْأَبْدَانُ عَنْ أَدَاءِ شُكْرِهِ- وَ إِقْرَارِي لَكَ بِمَا احْتَطَبْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي مِنْ مُوبِقَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ الَّتِي قَدْ أَوْبَقَتْنِي

And the Praise be for You^-azwj for Your^-azwj Trials, and gratitude to You^-azwj for Your^-azwj bounties. This is what tongues fall short of describing, and bodies are incapable of adequately expressing gratitude. I acknowledge to You^-azwj what I have concealed within myself of the blameworthy sins that have burdened me!

وَ أَخْلَقَتْ عِنْدَكَ وَجْهِي وَ لِكَبِيرِ خَطِيئَتِي وَ عَظِيمِ جُرْمِي هَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ رَبِّي وَ جَلَسْتُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ مَوْلَايَ وَ تَضَرَّعْتُ إِلَيْكَ سَيِّدِي لَأُقِرَّ لَكَ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ بِوُجُودِ رُبُوبِيَّتِكَ

And in Your^-azwj presence, my Lord^-azwj, I have fashioned my countenance. Due to the enormity of my mistakes and the gravity of my sins, I have sought refuge in You^-azwj. I have come to You^‑azwj, my Master^-azwj, and sat before You^-azwj, entreating You^-azwj. I acknowledge to You^-azwj, my Lord^-azwj, the uniqueness of Your^-azwj Oneness and the existence of Your^-azwj Lordship.

فَأُثْنِي عَلَيْكَ بِمَا أَثْنَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ أَصِفُكَ بِمَا يَلِيقُ بِكَ مِنْ صِفَاتِكَ وَ أَذْكُرُ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِذُنُوبِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِخَطِيئَتِي

Therefore, I praise You^-azwj for what You^-azwj have Praised of Yourself, describe You^-azwj with attributes befitting Your^-azwj Majesty, and mention the Blessings with which You^-azwj have Favoured me through Your^-azwj Knowledge. I confess my sins to You^-azwj and seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness for my errors!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ مِنْهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ الْعَوْدَ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ لَهَا فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتُ‏ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كانَ غَفَّاراً وَ قُلْتَ‏ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ داخِرِينَ‏

I seek repentance from my sins to You^-azwj, and I turn to You^-azwj, seeking Your^-azwj Forgiveness. For You^-azwj have Said: ‘Seek Forgiveness of your Lord, He would always be Forgiving [71:10] l and You have said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. Surely those who are too arrogant from worshipping Me would be entering Hell disgraced [40:60]. 

إِلَهِي إِلَيْكَ اعْتَمَدْتُ لِقَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي وَ بِكَ أَنْزَلْتُ الْيَوْمَ فَقْرِي وَ فَاقَتِي الْتِمَاساً مِنِّي لِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ رَجَاءً مِنِّي لِعَفْوِكَ فَإِنِّي لِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ أَرْجَى مِنِّي لِعَمَلِي وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ عَفْوُكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي

My God^-azwj, I rely on You for the fulfilment of my needs, and today, I humble myself, seeking from You^-azwj relief from my poverty and insufficiency. This is my plea for Your^-azwj Mercy and a hope for Your^-azwj Forgiveness, for I hope for Your^-azwj Mercy and Forgiveness more than my sins!

فَتَوَلَّ الْيَوْمَ قَضَاءَ حَاجَتِي بِقُدْرَتِكَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ تَيَسُّرِ ذَلِكَ‏ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَرَ خَيْراً قَطُّ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَمْ يَصْرِفْ عَنِّي سُوءاً قَطُّ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ

Turn to me today and grant my request, for Your^-azwj Power is sufficient for that, and it is easy for You^-azwj. Indeed, I have never seen any good except from You^-azwj, and no one other than You^-azwj has turned away from me any evil.

فَارْحَمْنِي سَيِّدِي يَوْمَ يُفْرِدُنِي النَّاسُ فِي حُفْرَتِي وَ أُفْضِي إِلَيْكَ بِعَمَلِي فَقَدْ قُلْتَ سَيِّدِي‏ وَ لَقَدْ نادانا نُوحٌ فَلَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُونَ‏ أَجَلْ وَ عِزَّتِكَ سَيِّدِي لَنِعْمَ الْمُجِيبُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْمَدْعُوُّ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الرَّبُّ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْقَادِرُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْخَالِقُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْمُبْتَدِئُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْمُعِيدُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الْمُسْتَغَاثُ أَنْتَ وَ لَنِعْمَ الصَّرِيخُ أَنْتَ

Have Mercy upon me, my Lord^-azwj, on the day when people will be separated (from me) in my grave. I turn to You^-azwj with my deeds, for indeed, You^-azwj have said: And Noah had called out to Us, and We are the best of the responders [37:75]. You^-azwj are the invoked; You^-azwj are the sought for refuge; You^-azwj are the Lord^-azwj; You^-azwj are the Capable; You^-azwj are the Creator; You^-azwj are the Originator; You^-azwj are the Restorer; You^-azwj are the one sought for Help; You^-azwj are the one to whom we cry for Help!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ وَ يَا وَلِيَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْفَعَّالَ لِمَا يُرِيدُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ أَنْ تُكْرِمَنِي فِي مَقَامِي هَذَا وَ فِيمَا بَعْدَهُ كَرَامَةً لَا تُهِينُنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً

I ask You^-azwj, O Helper of the distressed! O Rescuer of the seeking refuge! And O Guardian of the Momineen, the One Who effectively does whatever He^-azwj Desires! O Benevolent, O Benevolent, O Benevolent! Honour me in this position of mine and in what follows it with an honour that will never disgrace me after it, ever!

وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ أَفْضَلَ جَائِزَتِكَ الْيَوْمَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَ عَنِّي شَرَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ ضَعِيفٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ شَدِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ مَنْ ذَرَأْتَهُ وَ بَرَأْتَهُ وَ أَنْشَأْتَهُ وَ ابْتَدَعْتَهُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الصَّوَاعِقِ وَ الْبَرَدِ وَ الرِّيحِ وَ الْمَطَرِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ صَغِيرَةٍ أَوْ كَبِيرَةٍ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ أَنْتَ‏ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏.

And that You^-azwj Make the best of Your^-azwj Rewards today the liberation of my neck from the Fire, and the attainment of Paradise; and that You^-azwj Turn away from me the harm of every tyrant and stubborn oppressor, and the harm of every rebellious devil, and the harm of every weak or mighty creature of Yours^-azwj, and the harm of every near or distant being, and the harm of everyone whom You^-azwj have Nurtured, Provided for, Created, Originated, and Innovated; and from the harm of thunder, cold, wind, and rain, and from the harm of every evil thing, and from the harm of every small or large creature, day and night, You are seizing it by its forelock. Surely, my Lord is upon the Straight Path [11:56]’’.[72]

3- جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، وَ الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ غَيْرُهُمَا، رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ‏ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِهَذِهِ الصَّلَاةِ.

(The books) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’, and ‘Al Muthajjid’ and others –

‘It is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘And it is recommended that he sends Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww after Al-Asr on the day of Friday with this Salawaat’’.[73]

الْجَمَالُ، وَ رَوَيْتُ هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ بِإِسْنَادِي إِلَى أَبِي الْعَبَّاسِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُقْدَةَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ الَّذِي صَنَّفَهُ فِي مَشَايِخِ الشِّيعَةِ فَقَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ دَفَعَ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْأَشْعَثِ كِتَاباً فِيهِ دُعَاءٌ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص- دَفَعَهُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ‏] الْأَشْعَثِ إِلَى ابْنِهِ مِهْرَانَ وَ كَانَتِ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص الَّتِي فِيهِ

(The book) ‘Al Jamaal’ – And I am reporting this Salawaat by my chain to Abu Al Abbas Ahmad Bin Uqdah from his book which he authored among Shia elders. He said, ‘We are informed by Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran who said, ‘

‘It is narrated to me by my father, from his father that Abu Abdullah Ja’far^‑asws Bin Muhammad^‑asws handed a book to Muhammad Bin Al Ash’as wherein was a supplication the Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww. Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Ashas handed it to his son Mihran, and the Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww which is in it was: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً ص كَمَا وَصَفْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ حَيْثُ تَقُولُ‏ لَقَدْ جاءَكُمْ رَسُولٌ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ عَزِيزٌ عَلَيْهِ ما عَنِتُّمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُؤْمِنِينَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ‏ فَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ كَذَلِكَ وَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَأْمُرْ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا بَعْدَ أَنْ صَلَّيْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْتَ وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ

‘O Allah^-azwj! Muhammad^-saww is just as You^-azwj have Described him^-saww in Your^-azwj Book whereby You^-azwj Said: There has come to you a Rasool from yourselves. It is grievous upon him what is distressing upon you, being full of concern upon you. With the Momineen he is kind, merciful [9:128], so I testify that he^-saww was like that, and You^-azwj did not Command with sending the Salawaat upon him^-saww except after You^-azwj and You^-azwj Angels had sent Salawaat upon him^-saww.

وَ أَنْزَلْتَ فِي مُحْكَمِ قُرْآنِكَ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَ مَلائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً لَا لِحَاجَةٍ إِلَى صَلَاةِ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ بَعْدَ صَلَوَاتِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا إِلَى تَزْكِيَتِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ بَعْدَ تَزْكِيَتِكَ بَلِ الْخَلْقُ جَمِيعاً هُمُ الْمُحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى ذَلِكَ لِأَنَّكَ جَعَلْتَهُ بَابَكَ الَّذِي لَا تَقْبَلُ مِمَّنْ أَتَاكَ إِلَّا مِنْهُ

And You^-azwj Revealed in the Decisive of Your^-azwj Quran: Surely, Allah and His Angels are Sending Salawat upon the Prophet. O you those who believe! Send Salawat upon him and submit submissively [33:56]. There is no need for anyone from the created beings, after Your^‑azwj Salawaat upon him^-saww, nor to their purifying after Your^-azwj Purification. But the creatures in their entirety, they are needy to that because You^-azwj Made him^-saww Your^-azwj door (access) which nothing is Accepted from the one who comes to You^-azwj except from it!

وَ جَعَلْتَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَيْهِ قُرْبَةً مِنْكَ وَ وَسِيلَةً إِلَيْكَ وَ زُلْفَةً عِنْدَكَ وَ دَلَلْتَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَمَرْتَهُمْ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ لِيَزْدَادُوا أُثْرَةً لَدَيْكَ وَ كَرَامَةً عَلَيْكَ وَ وَكَّلْتَ بِالْمُصَلِّينَ عَلَيْهِ مَلَائِكَتَكَ يُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِ وَ يُبَلِّغُونَهُ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَ تَسْلِيمَهُمْ

And You^-azwj Made the Salawaat upon him^-saww as nearness from You^-azwj and a means to You^-azwj, and closeness with You^-azwj, and You^-azwj Pointed the Momineen to him^-saww and Commanded them with sending the Salawaat upon him^-saww for them to be increased in preference with You^-azwj and prestige, and You^-azwj Allocated Your^-azwj Angels with the ones sending Salawaat upon him^-saww, to be sending Salawaat upon him^-saww and to be conveying their Salawaat and their greetings!

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ فَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا عَظَّمْتَ بِهِ مِنْ أَمْرِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ أَوْجَبْتَ مِنْ حَقِّهِ أَنْ تُطْلِقَ لِسَانِي مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ بِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى وَ بِمَا لَمْ تُطْلِقْ بِهِ لِسَانَ أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَمْ تُعْطِهِ إِيَّاهُ ثُمَّ تُؤْتِيَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ مُرَافَقَتَهُ حَيْثُ أَحْلَلْتَهُ عَلَى قُدْسِكَ وَ جَنَّاتِ فِرْدَوْسِكَ ثُمَّ لَا تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُ

O Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of Muhammad^-saww! I ask You^-azwj what You^-azwj Magnified the matter of Muhammad^-saww with, and Obligated from his^-saww rights to Free my tongue from sending the Salawaat upon him^-saww with what You^-azwj Like and are Satisfied with, and with what You^-azwj have not Freed the tongue of anyone from Your^-azwj creatures with and did not Grant it to him, then Give me over that, his^-saww friendship whereby You^-azwj Legalised it upon Your^-azwj Holiness and Gardens of Your^-azwj Firdows, then do not Separate between me and him^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَبْدَأُ بِالشَّهَادَةِ لَهُ ثُمَّ بِالصَّلَاةِ عَلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَا أَبْلُغُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ رِضَى نَفْسِي وَ لَا يُعَبِّرُهُ لِسَانِي عَنْ ضَمِيرِي وَ لَا أُلَامُ عَلَى التَّقْصِيرِ مِنِّي لَعَجْزِ قُدْرَتِي عَنْ بُلُوغِ‏ الْوَاجِبِ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ: لِأَنَّهُ حَظٌّ لِي وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيَّ وَ أَدَاءٌ لِمَا أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ فِي عُنُقِي

O Allah^-azwj! I begin with the testimony for him^-saww then with the Salawaat upon him^-saww, and even though I cannot reach my own satisfaction from that nor can my tongue articulate it from my conscience, and I don’t blame upon the deficiency from me due to the inability of my ability from delivering the obligation upon me, from it because there is a share for me and a right upon me, and fulfilment of what is obligated upon my neck for him^-saww.

أَنْ قَدْ بَلَّغَ رِسَالاتِكَ غَيْرَ مُفَرِّطٍ فِيمَا أَمَرْتَ وَ لَا مُجَاوِزٍ لِمَا نَهَيْتَ وَ لَا مُقَصِّرٍ فِيمَا أَرَدْتَ وَ لَا مُتَعَدٍّ لِمَا أَوْصَيْتَ وَ تَلَا آيَاتِكَ عَلَى مَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيْهِ وَحْيَكَ وَ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ مُقْبِلًا غَيْرَ مُدْبِرٍ وَ وَفَى بِعَهْدِكَ وَ صَدَّقَ وَعْدَكَ وَ صَدَعَ بِأَمْرِكَ

He^-saww delivered Your^-azwj Message without being excessive regarding what You^-azwj had Commanded, nor exceeding to what You^-azwj had Prohibited, nor was he^-saww deficient in what You^-azwj Wanted, nor transgressing to what You^-azwj had Advised; and he recited Your^-azwj Verses based upon what You^-azwj had Revealed to him^-saww of Your^-azwj Revelation, and fighting in Your^-azwj way going forward without turning back, and loyalty with Your^-azwj Covenant, and he^-saww ratified Your^-azwj Promises and proclaimed Your^-azwj Commands.

لَا يَخَافُ فِيكَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ وَ بَاعَدَ فِيكَ الْأَقْرَبِينَ وَ قَرَّبَ فِيكَ الْأَبْعَدِينَ وَ أَمَرَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ ائْتَمَرَ بِهَا سِرّاً وَ عَلَانِيَةً وَ نَهَى عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ انْتَهَى عَنْهَا سِرّاً وَ عَلَانِيَةً وَ دَلَّ عَلَى مَحَاسِنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ وَ أَخَذَ بِهَا وَ نَهَى عَنْ مَسَاوِي الْأَخْلَاقِ وَ رَغِبَ عَنْهَا

He^-saww did not fear any blame of a blamer for Your^-azwj Sale, and distanced the near ones for Your^-azwj Sake, and drew the remote ones closer for Your^-azwj Sake, and he^-saww instructed with obedience to You^-azwj, and he^-saww ordered with it privately and openly, and he^-saww forbade from disobedience to You^-azwj and desisted from it privately and openly, and he^-saww pointed upon the excellent manners and took with it, and he^-saww forbade from the evil manners and turned away from it.

وَ وَالَى أَوْلِيَاءَكَ بِالَّذِي تُحِبُّ أَنْ يُوَالَوْا بِهِ قَوْلًا وَ عَمَلًا وَ دَعَا إِلَى سَبِيلِكَ‏ بِالْحِكْمَةِ وَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ وَ عَبَدَكَ مُخْلِصاً حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ فَقَبَضْتَهُ إِلَيْكَ تَقِيّاً نَقِيّاً زَكِيّاً

And he^-saww befriended Your^-azwj friends with the ones You^-azwj Loved for him^-saww to be friendly with in words and actions, and he^-saww called to Your^-azwj way with the wisdom and the excellent preaching, and he^-saww worshipped You^-azwj sincerely until the certainty (death) came to him^-saww, so You^-saww Recalled him^-saww to You^-azwj as pious, pure, sinless.

قَدْ أَكْمَلْتَ بِهِ الدِّينَ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ بِهِ النَّعِيمَ وَ ظَاهَرْتَ بِهِ الْحُجَجَ وَ شَرَعْتَ بِهِ شَرَائِعَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ فَصَّلْتَ بِهِ الْحَلَالَ عَنِ الْحَرَامِ وَ نَهَجْتَ بِهِ لِخَلْقِكَ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ وَ بَيَّنْتَ بِهِ الْعَلَامَاتِ وَ النُّجُومَ الَّذِي بِهِ يَهْتَدُونَ

You^-azwj Perfected the religion by him^-saww and Completed the bounties by him^-saww, and You^-azwj Manifested the arguments by him^-saww, and Legislated the Laws of Al Islam by him^-saww, and You^-azwj Distinguished the Permissible from the Prohibited by him^-saww, and You^-azwj Paved Your^-azwj Straight Path by him^-saww for Your^-azwj creatures, and You^-azwj Clarified by him^-saww the markings and the stars by which they are being guided!

وَ لَمْ تَدَعْهُمْ بَعْدَهُ فِي عَمْيَاءَ يَهِيمُونَ وَ لَا فِي شُبْهَةٍ يَتِيهُونَ وَ لَمْ تَكِلْهُمْ إِلَى النَّظَرِ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ فِي دِينِهِمْ بِآرَائِهِمْ وَ لَا التَّخَيُّرِ مِنْهُمْ بِأَهْوَائِهِمْ فَيَتَشَعَّبُونَ فِي مُدْلَهِمَّاتِ الْبِدَعِ وَ يَتَحَيَّرُونَ فِي مُطْبِقَاتِ الظُّلَمِ وَ تَتَفَرَّقُ بِهِمُ السُّبُلُ فِي مَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ فِيمَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And You^-azwj did not Leave them after him^-saww wandering in blindness, nor lost in suspicions, and You^-azwj did not Allocate them to be looking after themselves in their religion with their own opinions, nor for the confusion to be from them with their personal desires, so they would have diverted into (various) paths and be confused in the layers of darkness and for the ways to be separate with them regarding what they know and regarding what they were not knowing.

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ تَوَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا رَاضِياً عَنْكَ مَرْضِيّاً عِنْدَكَ مَحْمُوداً عِنْدَ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ وَ أَنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَلِيمٍ وَ لَا ذَمِيمٍ وَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ مِنَ الْمُتَكَلِّفِينَ

And I testify that he^-saww turned back from the world being satisfied with You^-azwj, being satisfactory in Your^-azwj Presence, praise-worthy in presence of Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity and Your^-azwj Messenger^-as Prophets^-as, and Your^-saww righteous servants, the Chose ones, and he^-saww is without blame nor condemnation, and he^-saww did not happen to be from the pretenders.

وَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ سَاحِراً وَ لَا سُحِرَ لَهُ وَ لَا كَاهِناً وَ لَا تُكُهِّنَ‏ لَهُ وَ لَا شَاعِراً وَ لَا شُعِرَ لَهُ وَ لَا كَذَّاباً وَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ رَسُولَكَ وَ خَاتَمَ النَّبِيِّينَ جَاءَ بِالْحَقِّ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ الْحَقِّ وَ صَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And he^-saww was neither a sorcerer, nor was there a sorcerer for him^-saww, nor was he^-saww a soothsayer nor was there a soothsayer for him^-as, nor was he^-saww a poet, nor a liar, and he^-saww was Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww and last of Your^-azwj Prophets^-saww. He^-saww had come with the truth from Your^-azwj Presence, the truth, and he^-saww ratified the Messengers^-as!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوهُ ذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ

And I testify that those who belie him^-saww will be tasting the painful Punishment!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مَا أَتَانَا بِهِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ أَخْبَرَنَا بِهِ عَنْكَ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ الْيَقِينُ- لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ مِنْ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ

And I testify that whatever he^-saww came to us with was from Your^-azwj Presence, and he^-saww informed us with it on Your^-azwj behalf, it was the certain truth, there being no doubt in it being from Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

للَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ نَجِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ صَفْوَتِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ الَّذِي انْتَجَبْتَهُ لِرِسَالاتِكَ وَ اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُ لِدِينِكَ وَ اسْتَرْعَيْتَهُ عِبَادَكَ وَ ائْتَمَنْتَهُ عَلَى وَحْيِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant, and Your^-azwj Messenger^-saww, and Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Your^-azwj Guardian^-asws, and Your^-azwj Confidant, and Your^-azwj Elite, and Your^-azwj Pure, and Your^-azwj Choice from Your^-azwj creatures whom You^-azwj had Selected him^-saww for Your^-azwj Message, and Particularised for Your^-azwj religion, and Made him^-saww caretaker of Your^-azwj servants, and Entrusted him upon Your^-azwj Revelation!

عَلَمِ الْهُدَى وَ بَابِ النُّهَى وَ الْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ خَلْقِكَ الشَّاهِدِ لَهُمْ الْمُهَيْمِنِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَشْرَفَ وَ أَفْضَلَ وَ أَزْكَى وَ أَطْهَرَ وَ أَنْمَى وَ أَطْيَبَ مَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ الْمُخْلَصِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ

He^-saww is the flag of guidance, and the door of intelligence, and the firmest handhold in what is between you^-azwj and Your^-azwj creatures, the witness for them, the domineering upon them. (Make) the noblest, and best, and most sinless, and purest, and most developed, and best of what You^-azwj have Sent Salawaat upon anyone of Your^-azwj creatures, and Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, and Your^-azwj Messengers^-as, and the sincere ones from Your^-azwj servants!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ غُفْرَانَكَ وَ رِضْوَانَكَ وَ مُعَافَاتَكَ وَ كَرَامَتَكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ مَنَّكَ وَ فَضْلَكَ وَ سَلَامَكَ وَ شَرَفَكَ وَ إِعْظَامَكَ وَ تَبْجِيلَكَ وَ صَلَوَاتِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ‏ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from its slips, and its tremors, and whips of its rulers, and evil of its Satans^-la, and rebellion of the ones rebelling against me in it!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي فَأَرِدْهُ وَ مَنْ كَادَنِي فَكِدْهُ وَ افْقَأْ عَنِّي عُيُونَ الْكَفَرَةِ وَ اعْصِمْنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي دِرْعَكَ الْحَصِينَةَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي سِتْرِكَ الْوَاقِي وَ أَصْلِحْ حَالِي‏ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ حُزَانَتِي وَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتُ فِيكَ وَ أَحَبَّنِي

O Allah^-azwj! One who intends me (with evil) Thwart his intentions, and one who plots against me Defeat his plots, and Blind from me eyes of the Kafirs and Protect me from that with the tranquillity, Clothe me Your^-azwj fortified armour, and Make me the saved on in Your^-azwj Cover, and Rectify my situation, and Bless for me in my family, and my wealth, and my children, and my grieving ones, and ones who I love for Your^-azwj Sake and they love me!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدْ قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا نَسِيتُ وَ مَا تَعَمَّدْتُ

O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for me what I have sent ahead and what I have delayed, and I have announced and what I have kept secret, and what I have done mistakenly and what I have deliberated!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ خَلَقْتَنِي كَمَا أَرَدْتَ فَاجْعَلْنِي كَمَا تُحِبُّ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Created me just as You^-azwj Wanted, so Make me just as You^-azwj Love, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[74]

وَ وَجَدْتُ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ قَدِيمَةٍ مِنْ مُؤَلَّفَاتِ قُدَمَاءِ أَصْحَابِنَا تَارِيخُ كِتَابَتِهَا سَنَةُ إِحْدَى وَ ثَلَاثِينَ وَ خَمْسِمِائَةٍ مَرْوِيّاً عَنِ ابْنِ عُقْدَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏ أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع دَفَعَ إِلَى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ‏] الْأَشْعَثِ كِتَاباً فِيهِ دُعَاءٌ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص- فَدَفَعَهُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ [بْنِ‏] الْأَشْعَثِ إِلَى ابْنِهِ مِهْرَانَ

And I found this supplication in an ancient copy from compilations of our ancient companions, the date of its writing is the year three hundred and fifty-one (AH), reporting from Ibn Uqdah, from Muhammad Bin Al Mufazzal Bin Ibrahim Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Mihran, from his father, from his father,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws handed a book to Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ash’as wherein was a supplication and the Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww. Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al Ash’as handed it to his sons Mihran’.

ثُمَّ سَاقَ الدُّعَاءَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ صَلَاةً لَا مُنْتَهَى لَهُ وَ لَا أَمَدَ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ كَانَتْ فِيهِ اخْتِلَافَاتٌ وَ زِيَادَاتٌ أَلْحَقْنَا بَعْضَهَا

Then he continued the Hadeeth up to his^-asws words: ‘A Salawaat having not end point for it, nor any period, Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’, and there are differences in it and additions. We have joined some of these.

مِنْهَا قَوْلُهُ وَ دَلَّ عَلَى مَحَاسِنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ تَوَلَّى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا رَاضِياً عَنْكَ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةَ لَمْ تَكُنْ فِي سَائِرِ الْكُتُبِ وَ وُجُودُهَا أَوْلَى وَ أَوْرَدْنَاهَا بِهَذَا السِّيَاقِ وَ السَّنَدِ فِي كِتَابِ الدُّعَاءِ.

From these are his^-asws words, and it evidence’s upon the good manners, up to his^-asws words: ‘And I testify that he^-saww had turned away from the world satisfied with You^-azwj’. This addition does not happen to be in rest of the books and its existence is first, and we are referring it with this continuation and the attribution in ‘the book of supplications’’.[75]

(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – He said, ‘It is narrated by Al-Husayn Bin Babuwayh, from Majaylawiya, from Al Barqy, from one of our companions, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Abu Ismail Al Sayqal who said,

‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘One who sends Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws, may the greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them, when he prays Al-Asr Salat on the day of Friday, before he finishes from his Salat, ten times, saying: –

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ- صَلَّتْ عَلَيْهِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ الْمُقْبِلَةِ فِي تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ.

‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the successors^-asws, the satisfactory, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and may the greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, and upon their^-asws souls, and upon their^-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’ – the Angels will Send Salawaat upon him from that Friday up to the next Friday in that time’’.[76]

And from him, by his chain from Haroun Bin Musa, from Hayday Bin Muhammad Bin Nueym Al Samarqandy, from Muhammad Bin Masoud Al Ayyashi, from Ismail Bin Mihran, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ibn Sinan,

‘When you have prayed Al-Asr Salat on the day of Friday, then say, ‘O Allah^-azwj!

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He^-asws said: ‘The Salawaat upon the Prophet^‑saww after Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, you should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj!

And from him, by his chain from Abu Al Mufazzal Al Shaybani, from Ismat Bin Nuh, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Bazanty, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, Allah^-azwj will Dispatch the days, and He^-azwj will Dispatch the day of Friday in front of them like the bride with the perfection and beauty being guided to the one with religion and wealth. It will pause at a door of the Paradise, and the (other) days will be behind it. It will intercede for every one who frequented during it the Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!’’

قَالَ ابْنُ سِنَانٍ فَقُلْتُ كَمِ الْكَثِيرُ فِي هَذَا وَ فِي أَيِّ زَمَانِ أَوْقَاتِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَفْضَلُ

Ibn Sinan said, ‘I said, ‘How may is the ‘frequent’ in this, and in which time is the timing best on the day of Friday?’

قَالَ مِائَةُ مَرَّةٍ وَ لْيَكُنْ ذَلِكَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ

He^-asws said: ‘One hundred times, and let that be after Al-Asr (Salat)’.

قَالَ وَ كَيْفَ أَقُولُهَا

He said, ‘And how should I be saying it?’

قَالَ تَقُولُ

He^-asws said: ‘You should say,

‘From Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws having said: ‘The most superior of the acts of worship on the day of Friday is sending the Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww after Al-Asr (Salat)’.

قَالَ قِيلَ لَهُ كَيْفَ نَقُولُ

He (the narrator) said, ‘It was said to him^-asws, ‘How should we be saying?’

‘Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘When you have prayed Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, then say, ‘O Allah^-azwj!

The one who says it after Al-Asr (Salat), Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Write for him a hundred thousand good deeds, and delete from him a hundred thousand evil deeds, and Fulfill for him one hundred thousand needs due to it, and Raise for him one hundred thousand ranks due to it!’’[84]

6- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ‏ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنْ أَفْضَلِ الْأَعْمَالِ

(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hammad Bin Usman,

‘He asked Abu Abdullah^-asws. He said, ‘Inform us about the best act of worship!’

فَقَالَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ وَ مَا زِدْتَ فَهُوَ أَفْضَلُ‏.

He^-asws said: ‘The Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, one hundred times after Al-Asr (Salat), and whatever is additional it is better’’.[85]

7- ثَوَابُ الْأَعْمَالِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ السَّعْدَآبَادِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ مَرَّةً بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ.

(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from Muhammad Bin Musa, from Al Mutawakkil, from Ali Bin Al-Husayn Al Sa’dabady, from Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah Al Barqy, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr,

‘Similar to it except that in it is, ‘One hundred and one times after Al-Asr (Salat)’’.[86]

ثُمَّ قَالَ قَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَيَابَةَ وَ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع قَالَ: إِذَا صَلَّيْتَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ فَقُلْ وَ ذَكَرَ مِثْلَ حَدِيثِ نَاجِيَةَ الَّذِي أَخْرَجْنَاهُ مِنَ الْمَجَالِسِ وَ فِيهِ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ فِيهِ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكَ وَ كَذَا فِي الْجَمِيعِ بِصِيغَةِ الْخِطَابِ.

Then he said, ‘Ahmad Bin Abu Abdullah said, ‘And in a report by Abdullah Bin Sayaba, and Abu Ismail, from Najiya,

‘From of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^-asws) having said: ‘When you have prayed Salat on the day of Friday, then say’ – and he mentioned the Hadeeth similar to Najiya which we have extracted from (the book) ‘Al-Majaalis’, and in it is: ‘The greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws’, and in it is, ‘Allah^-azwj will Write for you’, and like that it is in entirety with the form of speech’’.[87]

8- السَّرَائِرُ، نَقْلًا مِنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِيمَا بَيْنَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ تَعْدِلُ سَبْعِينَ حِجَّةً

(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – copying from ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty, from Abu Baseer who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^-asws saying: ‘The Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, in what is between Al-Zohr (Salat) and Al-Asr (Salat), equates to seventy Hajj.

وَ مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ- كَانَ لَهُ مِثْلُ ثَوَابِ عَمَلِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ‏.

And the one who says after Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the successors^-asws, the satisfactory, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and the greetings be upon them^-asws and upon their^-asws souls and upon their^-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings’ – there would be for him Rewards similar to the acts of worship by the ‘Saqalayn’ (the Jinn and the humans) during that day’’.[88]

9- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، فِي الْأَعْمَالِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ قَالَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ –

‘Regarding the acts of worship after Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, he^-asws said: ‘You should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the Imams^-asws, the satisfactory, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and the greetings be upon them^-asws and upon their^-asws souls and upon their^-asws bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ‏.

You should say that one hundred times, then say seventy times, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah^‑azwj and I repent to Him^-azwj’’.[89]

10- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُوسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْأَسَدِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ النَّخَعِيِّ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ لِلَّهِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ أَلْفَ نَفْحَةٍ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ يُعْطِي كُلَّ عَبْدٍ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ فَمَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَهَبَ اللَّهُ‏ لَهُ تِلْكَ الْأَلْفَ وَ مِثْلَهَا.

‘From Musa Bin Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘For Allah^-azwj, on the day of Friday, there are a thousand whiffs of Mercy. He^-azwj Gives every servant from it whatever He^-azwj Desires. The one who recites Surah Al Qadr after Al-Asr (Salat) on the day of Friday, one hundred times, Allah^-azwj would Gift to him that thousand, and similar to it’’.[90]

بيان: الحديث‏ إن لربكم في أيام دهركم نفحات ألا فتعرضوا لها.

Explanation (Hadeeth) – ‘For your Lord^-azwj, during the days of your lives, there are whiffs. Expose yourselves to these!’’

11- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ ع‏ قُلْ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُصْطَفَيْنَ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ-

(The book) ‘Fiqh Al Reza^-asws’ – He^-asws said: ‘Say after Al-Asr (Salat) seven times, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, the Chosen ones, with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon them^-asws with best of Your^-azwj Blessings, and the greetings be upon their^-asws souls and their bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’

وَ إِنْ قَرَأْتَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ كَانَ فِي ذَلِكَ ثَوَابٌ عَظِيمٌ.

And if you were to recite Surah Al Qadr after Al-Asr (Salat), ten times, there would be mighty Rewards in that’’.[91]

12- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ‏ يَقُولُ فِي السَّاعَةِ الَّتِي يُسْتَجَابُ فِيهَا الدُّعَاءُ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ- سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ‏.

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ –

It is reported from the Prophet^-saww having said regarding the hour on the day of Friday in which the supplication is Answered: ‘Glory be to You^-azwj! There is no god except You^-azwj! O Affectionate! O Benefactor! O Initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’’[92] (recording error)

وَ مِنْهُ‏ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ يُصَلِّيَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص مَا قَدَرَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ تَمَكَّنَ مِنْ أَلْفِ مَرَّةٍ فَعَلَ وَ إِلَّا فَمِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.

And from him: ‘It is recommended to recite on the day of Friday after Al-Asr (Salat) one hundred times, Surah Al Qadr, and send Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww whatever (number of times) you are able upon. If you are able a thousand times, do so, or else on hundred times’’.[93]

دعاء السمات‏

DU’A AL SIMAAT

و هو المعروف بدعاء الشبور و يستحب الدعاء به في آخر ساعة من نهار الجمعة رواه أبو عبد الله أحمد بن محمد بن عياش الجوهري.

And it is well known as ‘Dua Al Shabour’, and it is recommended to supplicate with it in the last hour of the day of Friday. It is reported by Abdullah Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ayyash Al-Jowhary.

قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الرَّاشِدِيُّ مِنْ وُلْدِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ

He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Al-Husayn Abdul Aziz Bin Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al-Hasany who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Yahya Al-Rashidy, from a son of Al-Husayn Bin Rashid who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Al-Husayn Bin Ahmad Bin Umar Bin Al-Sabbah who said,

حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ الشَّيْخِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيِّ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُنَا لَهُ‏ يَا سَيِّدِي مَا بَالُنَا نَرَى كَثِيراً مِنَ النَّاسِ يَصَّدَّقُونَ شَبُّورَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى مَنْ سَرَقَ مِنْهُمْ وَ هُمْ مَلْعُونُونَ عَلَى لِسَانِ عِيسَى بْنِ مَرْيَمَ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص

‘I attended a gathering of the Sheykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Saeed Al-Amry (second deputy of Al-Mahdi^-ajfj), may Allah^-azwj Sanctify his soul. One of us said to him, ‘O my chief! What is the matter we see many of the people are ratifying Shabour the Jew against the one who steals from them, and they are accursed upon the tongues of Isa^-as Bin Maryam^‑as and Muhammad^-saww, Messenger^-saww of Allah^-azwj?’

فَقَالَ لِهَذَا عِلَّتَانِ ظَاهِرَةٌ وَ بَاطِنَةٌ فَأَمَّا الظَّاهِرَةُ فَإِنَّهَا أَسْمَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ مَدَائِحُهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهَا عِنْدَهُمْ مَبْتُورَةٌ وَ عِنْدَنَا صَحِيحَةٌ مَوْفُورَةٌ عَنْ سَادَتِنَا أَهْلِ الذِّكْرِ نَقَلَهَا لَنَا خَلَفٌ عَنْ سَلَفٍ حَتَّى وَصَلَتْ إِلَيْنَا

He said, ‘There are two reasons for this, its apparent and its hidden. As for the apparent, these are Name of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Praise except that with them these are truncated while with us, correct, full from our Chiefs, the People^-asws of Zikr. It is transmitted to us to a successor from a predecessor until it arrived to us.

وَ أَمَّا الْبَاطِنَةُ فَإِنَّا رُوِّينَا عَنِ الْعَالِمِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا دَعَا الْمُؤْمِنُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ صَوْتٌ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَسْمَعَهُ اقْضُوا حَاجَتَهُ وَ اجْعَلُوهَا مُعَلَّقَةً بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى يُكْثِرَ دُعَاءَهُ شَوْقاً مِنِّي إِلَيْهِ

And as for the hidden, we are reporting from the Scholar^-asws having said: ‘When the Momin supplicates, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “A voice I^-azwj Love Hearing it. shall Fulfill his need and Make it suspended between the sky and the earth until his supplications are a lot, out of Yearning from Me^-azwj to him!”

وَ إِذَا دَعَا الْكَافِرُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ صَوْتٌ أَكْرَهُ سَمَاعَهُ اقْضُوا حَاجَتَهُ وَ عَجِّلُوهَا لَهُ حَتَّى لَا أَسْمَعَ صَوْتَهُ وَ يَشْتَغِلَ بِمَا طَلَبَهُ عَنْ خُشُوعِهِ

And when the Kafir supplicates, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says: “A voice I^-azwj Dislike Hearing it. Fulfill his need and Hasten it for him until I don’t Hear his voice and he can be pre-occupied with what he had sought, from being humble!”’

قَالُوا فَنَحْنُ نُحِبُّ أَنْ تُمْلِيَ عَلَيْنَا دُعَاءَ السِّمَاتِ الَّذِي هُوَ لِلشَّبُّورِ حَتَّى نَدْعُوَ بِهِ عَلَى ظَالِمِنَا وَ مُضْطَهِدِنَا وَ الْمُخَاتِلِينَ لَنَا وَ الْمُتَعَزِّزِينَ عَلَيْنَا

They said, ‘We would love it if you could dictate to us supplication of ‘Al Simaat’ which is for Al Shabour until we supplicate with it against our oppressors, and our persecutors, and our aggressors, and the ones hostile to us!’

قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُمَرَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْمُفَضَّلُ بْنُ عُمَرَ الْجُعْفِيُّ أَنَّ خَوَاصّاً مِنَ الشِّيعَةِ سَأَلُوا عَنْ هَذِهِ الْمَسْأَلَةِ بِعَيْنِهَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَأَجَابَهُمْ بِمِثْلِ هَذَا الْجَوَابِ

He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Umar Usman Bin Saeed who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Rashid who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Sinan who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar Al-Jufy, ‘Our special ones from the Shias asked Abu Abdullah about this issue exactly. He^-asws answered them with similar to this answer.

قَالَ وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ بَاقِرُ عِلْمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مَا نَعْلَمُهُ مِنْ عِلْمِ هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلِ وَ عِظَمِ شَأْنِهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ سُرْعَةِ إِجَابَةِ اللَّهِ لِصَاحِبِهَا مَعَ مَا ادَّخَرَ لَهُ مِنْ حُسْنِ الثَّوَابِ لَاقْتَتَلُوا عَلَيْهَا بِالسُّيُوفِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ‏ يَخْتَصُ‏ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ

He said, ‘And Abu Ja’far^-asws, expounder of knowledge of the Prophets^-as, said: ‘Had the people known what we^-asws of the knowledge of this issue and its mighty glory in the Presence of Allah^-azwj, and quickness of Response of Allah^-azwj for its supplicater, along with what He^-azwj has Treasured for him of the excellent Rewards, they would kill each other upon it with the swords, for Allah^-azwj Specialises with His^-azwj Mercy, the one He^-azwj so Desires to!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا إِنِّي لَوْ حَلَفْتُ لَبَرَرْتُ أَنَّ الِاسْمَ الْأَعْظَمَ قَدْ ذُكِرَ فِيهَا فَإِذَا دَعَوْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ بِالْبَاقِي وَ ارْفِضُوا الْفَانِيَ فَإِنَّ مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَ أَبْقَى الْخَبَرَ بِتَمَامِهِ

Then he^-asws said, ‘As for me^-asws, if I^-asws were to swear, I^-asws would be justified (in doing so), for the Magnificent Name has been mentioned in it. So, when you were to supplicate, then struggle in the supplication with the ever-lasting (life) and reject the perishable (life), for whatever is in the Presence of Allah^-azwj is better and more lasting, the goodness in its complete form!’

ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا هُوَ مِنْ مَكْنُونِ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَخْزُونِ الْمَسَائِلِ الْمُجَابَةِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Then he^-asws said: ‘This is from the concealed knowledge and treasured. The questions (requests) are Answered in the Presence of Allah^-azwj the Exalted: –

‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعَزِّ الْأَجَلِّ الْأَكْرَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ عَلَى مَغَالِقِ أَبْوَابِ السَّمَاءِ لِلْفَتْحِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ انْفَتَحَتْ

In the name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, the most Magnificent, the most Magnificent, the Mightiest, the most Majestic, the most Benevolent, when it is supplicated with upon the closed doors of the sky for the opening with the Mercy, they will be opened!

وَ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ عَلَى مَضَايِقِ أَبْوَابِ الْأَرْضِ لِلْفَرَجِ انْفَرَجَتْ وَ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْعُسْرِ لِلْيُسْرِ تَيَسَّرَتْ وَ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْأَمْوَاتِ لِلنُّشُورِ انْتَشَرَتْ وَ إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ عَلَى كَشْفِ الْبَأْسَاءِ وَ الضَّرَّاءِ انْكَشَفَتْ

When it is supplicated with upon the narrow doors of the earth for the relief, they would be burst open; and when it is supplicated with upon the difficulties for the easing, these would be eased; and when it is supplicated with upon the deceased for the resurrection, they would be resurrected; and when it is supplicated with upon removal of the problems and the harms, these would be removed!

وَ بِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَكْرَمِ الْوُجُوهِ وَ أَعَزِّ الْوُجُوهِ الَّذِي عَنَتْ لَهُ الْوُجُوهُ وَ خَضَعَتْ لَهُ الرِّقَابُ وَ خَشَعَتْ لَهُ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ وَجِلَتْ لَهُ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ

And (I ask You^-azwj) by the Majesty of Your^-azwj Honourable Face, the most Honourable of the Faces and the Mightiest of the Faces which the faces bow to, and the necks are humbled to, and the voices are fearful to, and the hearts palpitate to from fearing You^-azwj!

وَ بِقُوَّتِكَ الَّتِي تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِكَ وَ تُمْسِكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولَا وَ بِمَشِيَّتِكَ الَّتِي دَانَ لَهَا الْعَالَمُونَ وَ بِكَلِمَتِكَ الَّتِي خَلَقْتَ بِهَا السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ

And (I ask You^-azwj) by Your^-azwj Strength which You^-azwj Withhold the sky from falling upon the earth except by Your^-azwj Permission, and You^-azwj Withhold the skies and the earth from moving, and by Your^-azwj Desire which the worlds are stooping to, and by Your^-azwj Phrases by which You^-azwj Created the skies and the earth!

وَ بِحِكْمَتِكَ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجَائِبَ وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الظُّلْمَةَ وَ جَعَلْتَهَا لَيْلًا وَ جَعَلْتَ اللَّيْلَ مَسْكَناً- وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا النُّورَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ نَهَاراً وَ جَعَلْتَ النَّهَارَ نُشُوراً مُبْصِراً

And (I ask You^-azwj) by Your^-azwj Wisdom which You^-azwj Made the wonderments, and You^-azwj Created the darkness by it and Made it a night, and Made the night as tranquil, and Created the light by it and Made it a day, and You^-azwj Made the day for striving and observation!

وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الشَّمْسَ وَ جَعَلْتَ الشَّمْسَ ضِيَاءً وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْقَمَرَ وَ جَعَلْتَ الْقَمَرَ نُوراً وَ خَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْكَوَاكِبَ وَ جَعَلْتَهَا نُجُوماً وَ بُرُوجاً وَ مَصَابِيحَ وَ زِينَةً وَ رُجُوماً وَ جَعَلْتَ لَهَا مَشَارِقَ وَ مَغَارِبَ وَ جَعَلْتَ لَهَا مَطَالِعَ وَ مَجَارِيَ وَ جَعَلْتَ لَهَا فَلَكاً وَ مَسَابِحَ وَ قَدَّرْتَهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ مَنَازِلَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ تَقْدِيرَهَا وَ صَوَّرْتَهَا فَأَحْسَنْتَ تَصْوِيرَهَا

And You^-azwj Created the sun by it, and Made the sun an illumination, and You^-azwj Created the moon by it and Made the moon a radiance, and You^-azwj Created celestial spheres by it and Made these as stars and constellation, and lamps, and adornment, and shooting stars, and Made for these easts and the wests, and Made for these ascendance and flows (orbits), and Made for it orbits and circuits, and Determined these in the sky as stages. You^-azwj Determined these excellently, and You^-azwj Designed it and were excellent in Designing it!

And You^-azwj Enumerate it by Your^-azwj Names an enumeration, and You^-azwj Arranged it by Your^‑azwj Wisdom an arrangement, so You^-azwj were excellent in its arrangement; and You^-azwj Subdued it by authority of the night and authority of the day, and the hours, and number of years, and the calculations, and You^-azwj Made it to be seen by entirety of the people as one show!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَجْدِكَ الَّذِي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ وَ رَسُولَكَ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرَانَ فِي الْمُقَدَّسِينَ فَوْقَ إِحْسَاسِ الْكَرُوبِيِّينَ فَوْقَ غَمَائِمِ النُّورِ فَوْقَ تَابُوتِ الشَّهَادَةِ فِي عَمُودِ النُّورِ وَ فِي طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ وَ فِي جَبَلِ حُورِيثَ فِي الْوَادِي الْمُقَدَّسِ فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبَارَكَةِ مِنْ جَانِبِ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ

And I ask You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, by Your^-azwj Glory which You^-azwj Spoke with to Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool Musa^-as Bin Imran^-as among the Holy ones, beyond the senses of the Cherubim, above the clouds of light, above the treasure chest of testimony, in pillars of light, and in (mount) Tour of Sinai, and in mount Houreys in the Holy valley, in the Blessed spot from the right side of the (mount) Tour, from the tree!

وَ فِي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِتِسْعِ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ وَ يَوْمَ فَرَقْتَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ وَ فِي الْمُنْبَجِسَاتِ الَّتِي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجَائِبَ فِي بَحْرِ سُوفٍ وَ عَقَدْتَ مَاءَ الْبَحْرِ فِي قَلْبِ الْغَمْرِ كَالْحِجَارَةِ وَ جَاوَزْتَ بِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ الْبَحْرَ

And in a land of Egypt, with nine clear signs, and the day You^-azwj Separated the sea for the children of Israel, and in the bursting streams You^-azwj Made the wonders by it in a deep sea, and You^-azwj Tied the water of the sea in the hearts of the depths like the stones, and Made the children of Israel to cross the sea!

وَ تَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُكَ الْحُسْنَى عَلَيْهِمْ بِمَا صَبَرُوا وَ أَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَشَارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبَهَا الَّتِي بَارَكْتَ فِيهَا لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَ أَغْرَقْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ جُنُودَهُ وَ مَرَاكِبَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ

وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي مَنَنْتَ بِهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِاسْتِطَاعَتِكَ الَّتِي أَقَمْتَ بِهَا الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِنُورِكَ الَّذِي قَدْ خَرَّ مِنْ فَزَعِهِ طُورُ سَيْنَاءَ

وَ كَمَا غِبْنَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ وَ آمَنَّا بِهِ وَ لَمْ نَرَهُ صِدْقاً وَ عَدْلًا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَرَحَّمْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَأَفْضَلِ مَا صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ وَ تَرَحَّمْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ فَعَّالٌ لِمَا تُرِيدُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ:

And as we were absent from that and did not witness it, we believed in it without seeing it truthfully and justly, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^‑saww, and You^-azwj Blessed upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^‑saww, and Mercy Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww like the best of what You^-azwj Sent and Blessed and Mercied upon Ibrahim^-as and Progeny of Ibrahim^‑as, surely, You^-azwj are Praised, Glorified, Doer of whatever You^-azwj Want, and You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’

ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُ مَا تُرِيدُ ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Then you should mention what you want, then say, ‘O Affectionate, O Benefactor, O Initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي لَا يَعْلَمُ تَفْسِيرَهَا وَ لَا يَعْلَمُ بَاطِنَهَا غَيْرُكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ انْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ

Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’

قَالَ الشَّيْخُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ فَهْدٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ فِي الْعُدَّةِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يَقُولَ عَقِيبَ دُعَاءِ السِّمَاتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ بِمَا فَاتَ مِنْهُ مِنَ الْأَسْمَاءِ وَ بِمَا يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّفْسِيرِ وَ التَّدْبِيرِ الَّذِي لَا يُحِيطُ بِهِ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.

The Sheykh Ahmad Bin Fahd, may Allah^-azwj be Satisfied with him, said in (the book) ‘Al-Uddat’, ‘And it is recommended that he says as follow-up of ‘Dua Al Simaat’, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^‑azwj by the sanctity of this supplication and with what I have missed out from the Names, and with what is inclusive upon from the interpretation and the arrangement which none can encompass with it except You^-azwj, Do such and such with me!’’[94]

الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، وَ الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، وَ الْجُنَّةُ، جنة الأمان وَ الْإِخْتِيَارُ، يُسْتَحَبُّ الدُّعَاءُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ آخِرَ سَاعَةٍ مِنْ نَهَارِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ السِّمَاتِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ الْعَمْرِيِّ ره وَ ذَكَرُوا الدُّعَاءَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُ مَا تُرِيدُ

(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’, and ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’, and Al Junnat Al Amaan’, and ‘Al Ikhtiyar’ –

‘It is recommended to supplicate with this supplication at the last hour from the day of Friday, and it is ‘Dua Al Simaat’ reported by Al Aamiry’, and they mentioned the supplication up to his^-asws words: ‘And You^-azwj are Able upon all things! Then mention what you want’.

وَ فِي بَعْضِ نُسَخِ الْمُتَهَجِّدِ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا حَنَّانُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ وَ انْتَقِمْ لِي مِمَّنْ يُؤْذِينِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مِنْ ذُنُوبِي

And in one of the copy of (the book) ‘Al-Mutahajjid’ – ‘Then you should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! O Affectionate!’ – up to his^-asws words: ‘Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Deal with me what You^-azwj are rightful of and do not Deal with me what I am deserving of, and Take revenge for me from the ones harming me, and Forgive my sins for me!’

إِلَى قَوْلِهِ- وَ اكْفِنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مُهِمَّاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اكْفِنِي مَئُونَةَ إِنْسَانِ سَوْءٍ وَ جَارِ سَوْءٍ وَ قَوْمِ سَوْءٍ وَ سُلْطَانِ سَوْءٍ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ.

Up to his^-asws words: ‘And Suffice me from entirety of the important matters of the world and the Hereafter, and Suffice me of provisions of an evil person, and evil neighbour, and evil people, and evil ruler’ – up to end of the supplication’’.[95]

جَمَالُ الْأُسْبُوعِ‏، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ قَالَ نَسَخْتُ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ مِنْ كِتَابٍ دَفَعَهُ إِلَيَّ الشَّيْخُ الْفَاضِلُ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ خَلَفُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَلَفٍ الْمَاوَرْدِيُّ بِسُرَّ مَنْ رَأَى بِحَضْرَةِ مَوْلَانَا أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سَنَةَ أَرْبَعِمِائَةٍ

(The book) ‘Jamal Al Usbou’ – And by his chain from Al-Husayn Bin Muhammad Bin Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akburi who said,

‘I copied this supplication from a book handed to me by the meritorious Sheykh Abu Al-Hassan Khalaf Bin Muhammad Bin Khalaf Al-Maroudy at Surmanray in the presence of our Masters Abu Al-Hassan Ali^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, and Abu Muhammad Al-Hassan^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws in the month of Ramazan of the year four hundred.

وَجَدْتُ فِيهِ نُسَخَ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ مِنْ أَبِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بِبَغْدَادَ هَكَذَا حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَضَرْنَا مَجْلِسَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيَّ

I found in it a copy of this Hadeeth from Abu Ali Bin Abdullah at Baghdad like this – ‘It is narrated to me by Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Yahya who said, ‘We attended a gathering of Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Saeed Al-Amry’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ بَعْدَ كَلَامٍ ذَكَرُهُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

Then he said after speech mentioning it, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Amro Muhammad Bin Saeed Al-Amry, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar.

وَ رَوَى الدُّعَاءَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ ع وَ قَالَ فِي هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِهِ آخِرَ نَهَارِ يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ:

And the supplication is reported from our Master Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq^-asws’, and he said in this report, ‘And it is recommended that one should supplicate with it at end of the day of Friday’.

الْإِخْتِيَارُ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ دُعَاءِ السِّمَاتِ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي لَا يَعْلَمُ تَفْسِيرَهَا وَ لَا تَأْوِيلَهَا وَ لَا بَاطِنَهَا وَ لَا ظَاهِرَهَا غَيْرُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ افْعَلْ‏ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ وَ انْتَقِمْ لِي مِنْ فُلَانِ بْنِ فُلَانٍ

(The book) ‘Al Ikhtiyar’ – ‘You should say after ‘Dua Al Simaat’, ‘O Allah^-azwj! By the right of this supplication and by the right of these Names which no one knows their interpretation nor its explanation, nor its esoteric nor its apparent, apart from You^-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Grace me goodness of the world and the Hereafter, and Do such and such with me, and Deal with me what You^-azwj are rightful of, not what I am deserving of, and Take revenge for me from so and so, son of so and so!

And Forgive from my sins what have been sent ahead from these and what have been delayed, and for my parents, and for entirety of the believing men and the believing women, and Expand upon me from Your^-azwj Permissible sustenance, and Suffice me provision of evil persons, and evil neighbours, and evil rulers, and evil partner, and evil day, and evil hour!

وَ انْتَقِمْ لِي مِمَّنْ يَكِيدُنِي وَ مِمَّنْ يَبْغِي عَلَيَّ وَ يُرِيدُ بِي وَ بِأَهْلِي وَ أَوْلَادِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ جِيرَانِي وَ قَرَابَاتِي مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ظُلْماً إِنَّكَ عَلَى مَا تَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ وَ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَلِيمٌ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ-

And Take revenge for me from the ones who plot against me, and from the ones rebelling against me, and intending evil with me, and with my family, and my children, and my brethren, and my neighbours, and my kindred from the believing men and the believing women of injustices, surely You^-azwj are Able upon whatever You^-azwj Desire, and Knower of all things! Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’

وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَى فُقَرَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِالْغَنَاءِ وَ الثَّرْوَةِ وَ عَلَى مَرْضَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِالشِّفَاءِ وَ الصِّحَّةِ وَ عَلَى أَحْيَاءِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِاللُّطْفِ وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ عَلَى أَمْوَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ عَلَى مُسَافِرِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِالرَّدِّ إِلَى أَوْطَانِهِمْ سَالِمِينَ غَانِمِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً-.

And he should say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! By the right of this supplication, Grace upon the poor believing men and believing women with the riches and the abundance, and upon the sin believing men and the believing women with the healing and the good health, and upon the living believing men and the believing women with the Compassion and the Benevolence, and upon the dead believing men and the believing women with the Forgiveness, and upon the travelling believing men and the believing women with the return to their homelands safely, gainfully, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Send Salawaat upon our Chief Muhammad^-saww, Last of the Prophets^-as, and his^-saww family, the pure, and Greet a lot of greetings!’’[96]

وَ وَجَدْتُ فِي نُسْخَةٍ أُخْرَى قَرَأَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَقِيبَ دُعَاءِ السِّمَاتِ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ‏ يَا عُدَّتِي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي وَ يَا غِيَاثِي عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي وَ يَا وَلِيِّي فِي نِعْمَتِي وَ يَا مُنْجِحِي فِي حَاجَتِي وَ يَا مَفْزَعِي فِي وَرْطَتِي وَ يَا مُنْقِذِي مِنْ هَلَكَتِي وَ يَا كَالِئِي فِي وَحْدَتِي

And I found in another copy – ‘Amir Al-Momineen^-asws recited Dua Al Simaat as follow-up of these phrases: – ‘O my Weapon during my distress, and O my Helper during my adversity, and O my Guardian in my bounties, and O my Rescuer regarding my needs, and O my Shelter in my predicament, and O my Saviour from my destruction, and O my Comforter in my loneliness!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَ يَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي وَ اجْمَعْ لِي شَمْلِي وَ أَنْجِحْ لِي طَلِبَتِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ الْعَافِيَةِ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ عِنْدَ وَفَاتِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive my sins for me, and Ease my affairs for me, and Gather my family for me, and Make my seeking be successful for me, and Rectify my affairs for me, and Suffice me of what worries me, and Make for me from my matters a relief and an outlet, and do not Separate between me and the well-being, ever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to live, and at my death when You^-azwj Cause me to die, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Send Salawaat upon our Chief Muhammad^-saww, and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[97]

توضيح و تبيين‏

Clarification and Explanation (Ahadeeth only)

رُوِيَ عَنِ الْإِمَامِ الْبَاقِرِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَوْ حَلَفْتُ أَنَّ فِي هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ الِاسْمَ الْأَعْظَمَ لَبَرَرْتُ فَادْعُوا بِهِ عَلَى ظَالِمِنَا وَ مُضْطَهِدِنَا وَ الْمُتَعَزِّزِينَ عَلَيْنَا

It is reported from the Imam Al-Baqir^-asws having said: ‘If I^-asws were to swear that in this supplication is the most Magnificent Name, I^-asws would be justified (in doing so), therefore supplicate with it against our^-asws oppressors and our^-asws persecutors, and ones allying against us^-asws’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ ع إِنَّ يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ وَصِيَّ مُوسَى ع لَمَّا حَارَبَ الْعَمَالِيقَ وَ كَانُوا فِي صُوَرٍ هَائِلَةٍ ضَعُفَتْ نُفُوسُ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ عَنْهُمْ فَشَكَوْا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى يُوشَعَ ع أَنْ يَأْمُرَ الْخَوَاصَّ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ فِي الْقَرْنِ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ لِأَنْ لَا يَسْتَرِقَ السَّمْعَ بَعْضُ شَيَاطِينِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَيَتَعَلَّمُوهُ ثُمَّ يُلْقُونَ الْجِرَارَ فِي عَسْكَرِ الْعَمَالِيقِ آخِرَ اللَّيْلِ وَ يَكْسِرُونَهَا

Then he^-asws said: ‘Yoshua^-as Bin Noun^-as successor of Musa^-as, when he^-as battled the Amalekites, and they were in immense numbers, the souls of the children of Israel were weakened from them. They complained to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic. Allah^-azwj the Exalted Commanded Yoshua^-as to order the special ones from the children of Israel for each one of them to take this supplication in the horn (as an amulet), so some of the Satans^-la of the Jinn and the humans will not eavesdrop (spy), then they should cast these among the soldiers of the Amalekites at end of the night and break these.

فَفَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ فَأَصْبَحَ الْعَمَالِيقُ‏ كَأَنَّهُمْ أَعْجازُ نَخْلٍ خاوِيَةٍ مُنْتَفِخِي الْأَجْوَافِ مَوْتَى فَاتَّخِذُوهُ عَلَى مَنِ اضْطَهَدَكُمْ مِنْ سَائِرِ النَّاسِ

They did that. The Amalekites woke up in the morning as if they are hollow trunks of palm trees [69:7], swollen stomachs, dead. So they took it against the ones from rest of the people who persecuted them’.

ثُمَّ قَالَ هَذَا مِنْ عَمِيقِ مَكْنُونِ الْعِلْمِ وَ مَخْزُونِهِ فَادْعُوا بِهِ وَ لَا تَبْذُلُوهُ لِلنِّسَاءِ السُّفَهَاءِ وَ الصِّبْيَانِ وَ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ.

Then he^-asws said: ‘This is from the deep hidden knowledge and its treasured, therefore supplicate with it and do not give it to the foolish women, and the children, and the oppressors, and the hypocrites’’.

وَ فِي كِتَابِ الزُّبْدَةِ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع‏ هَذَا التَّابُوتُ هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى أُمِّ مُوسَى فَوَضَعَتْهُ فِيهِ فَأَلْقَتْهُ فِي الْبَحْرِ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتْ مُوسَى الْوَفَاةُ وَضَعَ فِيهِ الْأَلْوَاحَ وَ دِرْعَهُ وَ مَا كَانَ عِنْدَهُ مِنَ آثَارِ النُّبُوَّةِ وَ أَوْدَعَهُ وَصِيَّهُ يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ

And in the book ‘Al-Zubdah’, from Al-Baqir^-asws: ‘This casket (Tabout) it is which Allah^-azwj the Exalted Sent down upon the mother^-as of Musa^-as. She^-as placed him^-as in it and cast it in the sea (Nile). When the expiry presented to Musa^-as, he^-as placed in it the Tablets, and his^-as shield, and whatever was with him^-as from the relics of Prophet-hood, and entrusted it to his^-as successor Yoshua^-as Bin Noun^-as.

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ يَتَبَرَّكُ بِهِ وَ هُمْ فِي عِزٍّ وَ شَرَفٍ حَتَّى اسْتَخَفُّوا بِهِ فَكَانَتِ الصِّبْيَانُ تَلْعَبُ بِهِ فَرَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُمْ.

The Children of Israel did not cease to be Blessed by it, and they were in honour and nobility until they took lightly with it. It became such that the children were playing with it, so Allah^‑azwj the Exalted Raised it from them’’.

وَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ كَانَتْ فِيهِ رِيحٌ هَفَّافَةٌ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ لَهَا وَجْهٌ كَوَجْهِ الْإِنْسَانِ وَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّ التَّابُوتَ حُمِلَ إِلَى نَاحِيَةِ كِرْزِيمِ مِنْ نَاحِيَةِ طُورِ سَيْنَاءَ فَكَانَتْ تُظِلُّهُ بِالنَّهَارِ غَمَامَةٌ وَ يُشْرِقُ عَلَيْهِ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمُودٌ مِنْ نَارٍ وَ كَانَ يَدُلُّهُمْ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ لَيْلًا.

And from Ali^-asws: ‘In it was a gentle breeze from the Paradise having a face for it like faces of the human being, and in the view of people of the Book, the casket was carried to an area of Kirzeym from a corner of the mount Sinai. A cloud used to shade it at daytime and a column of fire shone upon it at night, and it would point them upon the road at night’’.

فَعَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع: أَنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى بَيْتَ رِيحٍ مُقَفَّلٌ لَوْ فُتِحَ لَأَذْرَتْ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا أَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى قَوْمِ عَادٍ إِلَّا قَدْرَ الْخَاتَمِ فَكَانَتْ تَدْخُلُ عَلَى أَفْوَاهِهِمْ وَ تَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَدْبَارِهِمْ فَتُقَطِّعُهُمْ عُضْواً عُضْواً.

From Al-Baqir^-asws: ‘For Allah^-azwj the Exalted there is a house of locked winds. If it were to be opened, it would scatter what is between the sky and the earth, and Allah^-azwj the Exalted did not Send upon the people of Aad except a measurement of the ring (on a finger), and it had entered into their mouths and came out from their backsides. It cut them into pieces and pieces’’.
