CHAPTER 105 – SUPPLICATIONS OF EID AL-FITR AND ADDITIONAL ETIQIETTES OF ITS SALAT AND ITS SERMON
1- الْإِقْبَالُ، رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَمْرٍو مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ نَصْرٍ السُّكَّرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ الْبَغْدَادِيَّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَ إِلَيَّ دُعَاءَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي كَانَ عَمُّهُ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ الْعَمْرِيُّ- رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ أَرْضَاهُ يَدْعُو بِهِ فَأَخْرَجَ إِلَيَّ دَفْتَراً مُجَلَّداً بِأَحْمَرَ فِيهِ أَدْعِيَةُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ جُمْلَتِهَا الدُّعَاءُ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ-
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah in his book, by his chain to Abu Amro Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Nasr Al Sukary, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him.
He said, ‘I asked Abu Bakr Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Usman Al-Baghdadi, may Allah-azwj Mercy him to bring out a supplication of the month of Ramazan has emerged to me which his uncle the Sheykh Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Usman Bin Saeed Al-Amry, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him and may he Satisfy Him-azwj, was supplicating with. He brought out a register to me bound in red cover wherein were supplications of the month of Ramazan. From its total is the supplication after Salat Al-Fajr on the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي تَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ أَمَامِي وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرٍ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ أَئِمَّتِي عَنْ يَسَارِي أَسْتَتِرُ بِهِمْ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ زُلْفَى- لَا أَجِدُ أَحَداً أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُمْ فَهُمْ أَئِمَّتِي فَآمِنْ بِهِمْ خَوْفِي مِنْ عِقَابِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ
‘O Allah-azwj! I divert to You-azwj through Muhammad-saww as my Imam-saww, and Ali-asws, and Ja’far-asws my supporters, and my Imams-asws on my right and on my left. I take cover by them-asws from Your-azwj Punishment and I draw closer to You-azwj in nearness. I cannot find anyone more closer to You-azwj than them-asws. They-asws are my Imams-asws, so Secure my fear by them-asws from Your-azwj Punishment and Your-azwj Wrath, and Admit me by Your-azwj Mercy among Your-azwj righteous servants!
أَصْبَحْتُ بِاللَّهِ مُؤْمِناً مُخْلِصاً عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ عَلِيٍّ وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ وَ سُنَّتِهِمْ آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِيمَا رَغِبَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ عَلِيٌّ- وَ الْأَوْصِيَاءُ
I have come to a morning believing in Allah-azwj, sincerely upon the religion of Muhammad‑saww and his-saww Sunnah, and upon the religion of Ali-asws and his-asws Sunnah, and upon the religion of successors-asws and their-asws Sunnah! I believe in their-asws secrets and their-asws announcements, and I am desirous to Allah-azwj regarding what Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws and the successors-asws had desired!
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا عِزَّةَ وَ لَا مَنَعَةَ وَ لَا سُلْطَانَ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْقَهَّارِ الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ- تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ- وَ مَنْ يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بالِغُ أَمْرِهِ
And there is neither any might nor strength except with Allah-azwj, nor Power, nor Prevention, nor Authority except for Allah-azwj the One, the Subduer, the Mighty, the Compeller! I rely upon Allah-azwj, and the one who relies upon Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Suffice him. Allah-azwj will Accomplish His-azwj Command!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُكَ فَأَرِدْنِي وَ أَطْلُبُ مَا عِنْدَكَ فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي وَ اقْضِ لِي حَوَائِجِي فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ- شَهْرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدىً لِلنَّاسِ وَ بَيِّناتٍ مِنَ الْهُدى وَ الْفُرْقانِ فَعَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ
O Allah-azwj! I intend You-azwj so Intend me, and I seek what is in Your-azwj Possession so Ease my needs for me, for You-azwj Said in Your-azwj Book, and Your-azwj Word is the Truth: The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, a Guidance for the people, and clear evidence from the Guidance and the Furqan; [2:185]. You-azwj Magnified Sanctity of the month of Ramazan with what You-azwj Revealed in it from the Quran.
وَ خَصَصْتَهُ وَ عَظَّمْتَهِ بِتَصْيِيرِكَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فَقُلْتَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ- تَنَزَّلُ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ الرُّوحُ فِيها بِإِذْنِ رَبِّهِمْ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ- سَلامٌ هِيَ حَتَّى مَطْلَعِ الْفَجْرِ
And You Specialised it, and Magnified it by Your-azwj Making Laylat Al-Qadr to be in it. You-azwj Said: Surely, We Revealed it during the Night of Pre-determination [97:1] And what make you realise what the Night of Pre-determination is? [97:2] The Night of Pre-determination is better than a thousand months [97:3] The Angels and the Spirit descend during it by Permission of their Lord of every matter [97:4] Salam! It is such until emergence of the dawn [97:5].
اللَّهُمَّ وَ هَذِهِ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ وَ لَيَالِيهِ قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ قَدْ صِرْتُ مِنْهُ يَا إِلَهِي إِلَى مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَحْصَى لِعَدَدِهِ مِنْ عَدَدِي
O Allah-azwj, and these days of the month of Ramazan have passed and its nights have expired. O my God-azwj! I have come from it to what You-azwj are more Knowing with than me, and more Counting of its numbers than my numbering.
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَتَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي مَا تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ وَ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيَّ بِتَضْعِيفِ عَمَلِي وَ قَبُولِ تَقَرُّبِي وَ قُرُبَاتِي وَ اسْتِجَابَةِ دُعَائِي وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْكَ عِتْقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ
I ask You-azwj, O my God-azwj, for what Your-azwj righteous servants have asked for, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and People-asws of his‑saww Household, and to Accept from me what I can draw closer to You-azwj with, and to Grace upon me multiplication of my works and Accept my drawing closer and my offering, and Answer my supplication, and Gift to me from You-azwj liberation of my neck from the Hellfire!
وَ مُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالْفَوْزِ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ الْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْخَوْفِ مِنْ كُلِّ فَزَعٍ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ هَوْلٍ أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ أَعُوذُ بِحُرْمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ حُرْمَةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ حُرْمَةِ الصَّالِحِينَ
And Confer upon me the success with the Paradise, and the security on the Day of fear from every panic, and from every horror You-azwj have Prepared for the Day of Qiyamah, by the Sanctity of Your-azwj Benevolent Face, and sanctity of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and sanctity of the righteous ones!
أَنْ يَنْصَرِمَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ وَ لَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُؤَاخِذَنِي بِهَا أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِهِ وَ تُشْقِيَنِي وَ تَفْضَحَنِي بِهِ أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِهَا وَ تَقْتَصَّهَا مِنِّي لَمْ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْفَعَّالِ لِمَا يُرِيدُ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لِلشَّيْءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
If this day passes by and there is a liability of mine for You-azwj, You-azwj Wand to Seize me with, or a sin You-azwj Want to Compare me with or Make me miserable and Exposing me with it, or a wrong-doing You-azwj Want to Compare me with it, and Retaliate it from me not having Forgiven it for me yet, and I ask You-azwj by the Sanctity of Your-azwj Benevolent Face, the Doer of whatever He-azwj Wants, Who Says for something: “Be!” So, it comes into being. There is no god except He-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِنْ كُنْتَ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ أَنْ تَزِيدَنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي رِضًا وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمْ تَرْضَ عَنِّي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَمِنَ الْآنَ فَارْضَ عَنِّي السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ وَ فِي هَذَا الْمَجْلِسِ مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ طُلَقَائِكَ مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ وَ سُعَدَاءِ خَلْقِكَ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by there is no god except You-azwj! If You-azwj are Satisfied with me in this month, Increase me in Satisfaction in what remains of my life, and if You-azwj are not Satisfied with me in this month, so from now be Satisfied with me now! Now! Now, and Make me in this moment and in this sitting to be from Your-azwj liberated ones from the Hellfire, and Your-azwj freed ones from Hell, and fortunate ones of Your-azwj creatures by Your-azwj Forgiveness and Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ شَهْرَيْ هَذَا خَيْرَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَبَدْتُكَ فِيهِ وَ صُمْتُهُ لَكَ وَ تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ مُنْذُ أَسْكَنْتَنِي الْأَرْضَ أَعْظَمَهُ أَجْراً وَ أَتَمَّهُ نِعْمَةً وَ أَعَمَّهُ عَافِيَةً وَ أَوْسَعَهُ رِزْقاً وَ أَفْضَلَهُ عِتْقاً مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَوْجَبَهُ رَحْمَةً وَ أَعْظَمَهُ مَغْفِرَةً وَ أَكْمَلَهُ رِضْوَاناً وَ أَقْرَبَهُ إِلَى مَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the Sanctity of Your-azwj Benevolent Face, to Make this month of mine as best month of Ramazan I have worshipped You-azwj in, and fasted for You-azwj, and drawn closer with to You-azwj since You-azwj Settled me in the earth, as mightiest of Rewards, and most complete of bounties, and most generalised of it in well-being, and vastest of sustenance, and best of it in liberation from the Hellfire, and most obliging of Mercy, and mightiest of it in Forgiveness, and most perfect of it in satisfaction and closest of it to what You-azwj Love and are Satisfied with!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانٍ صُمْتُهُ لَكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعَوْدَ ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَ حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ حَتَّى تُخْرِجَنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً وَ أَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ وَ أَنَا لَكَ مَرْضِيٌّ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Make it as last month of Ramazan I have fasted for You-azwj and Grace me the repeat, then the repeat until You-azwj are Satisfied, and after the Satisfaction, and until You-azwj Extract me from the world safely while You-azwj are Satisfied with me, and I am satisfied with You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِي هَذَا الْعَامِ وَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ الْمُتَقَبِّلِ عَنْهُمْ مَنَاسِكُهُمُ الْمُعَافَيْنَ عَلَى أَسْفَارِهِمُ الْمُقْبِلِينَ عَلَى نُسُكِهِمُ الْمَحْفُوظِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَ ذَرَارِيِّهِمْ وَ كُلِّ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ

And Suffice me of what worries me from matters of my world and my Hereafter, and do not Allocate me to myself so I would be frustrated from it, nor to the people so they would reject me, and Grant me well-being in my religion, and my body, and my physique, and my soul, and my children, and my family, and people of my cordiality, and my brethren, and my neighbours from the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the living ones from them and the dead!
وَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالْأَمْنِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي فَإِنَّكَ وَلِيِّي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَعْدِنُ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ مَوْضِعُ شَكْوَايَ وَ مُنْتَهَى رَغْبَتِي فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي فِي رَجَائِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ لَا تُبْطِلْ طَمَعِي وَ رَجَائِي

فَقَدْ تَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قَدَّمْتُهُمْ إِلَيْكَ أَمَامِي وَ أَمَامَ حَاجَتِي وَ طَلِبَتِي وَ تَضَرُّعِي وَ مَسْأَلَتِي فَاجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ وَجِيهاً فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ فَإِنَّكَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِمْ فَاخْتِمْ لِي بِهِمُ السَّعَادَةَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

And Suffice us of every matter from matters of the world and the Hereafter, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, as best of what You-azwj have Sent and Blessed and Mercied and Saluted upon Ibrahim-as and Progeny of Ibrahim-as, You-azwj are Praised, Glorified!’’[1]
2- الْإِقْبَالُ، قَالَ رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ النَّضْرِ بْنِ سُوَيْدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: الْغُسْلُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ سُنَّةٌ.
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – He said, ‘We are reporting by our chains to Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Al Nazr Bin Suweyd, from Abdullah Bin Sinan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The bathing on the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr is Sunnah’’.[2]
ذِكْرُ مَا يُقَالُ عِنْدَ الْغُسْلِ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَنْبَسَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صَلَاةُ الْعِيدِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ أَنْ تَغْتَسِلَ مِنْ نَهَرٍ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَهَرٌ فَلِ أَنْتَ بِنَفْسِكَ اسْتِقَاءَ الْمَاءِ بِتَخَشُّعٍ وَ لْيَكُنْ غُسْلُكَ تَحْتَ الظِّلَالِ أَوْ تَحْتَ حَائِطٍ وَ تَسَتَّرْ بِجُهْدِكَ
Mention of what is said during the bathing – It is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah, by his chain to Abu Anbasa,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The Eid Salat on the day of Al-Fitr – You should bathe in a river. If there does not happen to be a river then let it be yourself drawing the water with humbleness, and let your washing be beneath the shade or beneath a wall, and you should conceal your efforts.
فَإِذَا هَمَمْتَ بِذَلِكَ فَقُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَ تَصْدِيقاً بِكِتَابِكَ وَ اتِّبَاعَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص ثُمَّ سَمِّ وَ اغْتَسِلْ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الْغُسْلِ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ كَفَّارَةً لِذُنُوبِي وَ طَهِّرْ دِينِي اللَّهُمَّ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي الدَّنَسَ.
When you think of that, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Believing in You-azwj and ratifying Your-azwj Book, and following Sunnah of Your-azwj Prophet-saww Muhammad-saww!’ Then Name (Bismillah) and wash. When you are free from the washing, then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Make it an atonement for my sins and a purification of my religion! O Allah-azwj! Remove the filth from me!’’[3]
ثُمَّ ادْعُ عِنْدَ التَّهَيُّؤِ لِلْخُرُوجِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ فَقُلْ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: ادْعُ فِي الْجُمُعَةِ وَ الْعِيدَيْنِ إِذَا تَهَيَّأْتَ لِلْخُرُوجِ-
Then supplicate during the preparation for the going out to the Eid Salat. Say what we are reporting by our chain to Haroun Bin Musa Al-Tal’akbury, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul, to Abu Hamza Al-Sumaly, from Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Supplicate during the Friday and the Eid(s) when you prepare for the going out: –
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ أَوْ تَعَبَّأَ أَوْ أَعَدَّ وَ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَاءَ رَفْدِهِ وَ جَائِزَتِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ فَإِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي كَانَتْ وِفَادَتِي وَ تَهْيِئَتِي وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ وَ نَوَافِلِكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! There is one who prepares, or makes arrangements, or gets ready, or equips for going to a created being hoping for his rewards, and his awards, and his gifts, so to You-azwj, O my Master, would be my preparation, and my readiness, and my equipping hoping for You‑azwj Rewards, and Your-azwj Awards, and Your-azwj Gifts!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عَلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَصِيِّ رَسُولِكَ وَ صَلِّ يَا رَبِّ عَلَى أَئِمَّةِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُسَمِّيهِمْ إِلَى آخِرِهِمْ حَتَّى تَنْتَهِيَ إِلَى صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ ع
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Your-azwj Choice from Your-azwj creatures, and upon Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and successor‑asws of Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and O Lord-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Imams-asws of the Momineen, Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and Ali-asws, and Muhammad-asws’ – and name them-asws up to their last until you end up to Master-ajfj of the Time.
وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لَهُ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً وَ انْصُرْهُ نَصْراً عَزِيزاً
And say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Grant victory to him-saww, and easy victory, and Help him-saww a mighty Help!
اللَّهُمَّ أَظْهِرْ بِهِ دِينَكَ وَ سُنَّةَ رَسُولِكَ حَتَّى لَا يَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخَافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ
O Allah-azwj! Cause Your-azwj religion to prevail by him-saww and Sunnah of Your-azwj Rasool-saww until nothing from the truth is hidden fearing anyone of the creatures!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِي دَوْلَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ تُعِزُّ بِهَا الْإِسْلَامَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ تُذِلُّ بِهَا النِّفَاقَ وَ أَهْلَهُ وَ تَجْعَلُنَا فِيهَا مِنَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ الْقَادَةِ إِلَى سَبِيلِكَ وَ تَرْزُقُنَا بِهَا كَرَامَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! We are desirous to You-azwj regarding an honourable government Al-Islam and its people can be strengthened with, and humiliated the hypocrisy and its people by it, and Make us in it from the callers to obedience to You-azwj, and the guides to Your-azwj way, and Grace us by it honour of the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَنْكَرْنَا مِنْ حَقٍّ فَعَرِّفْنَاهُ وَ مَا قَصُرْنَا عَنْهُ فَبَلِّغْنَاهُ
O Allah-azwj! Whatever we have denied from a right, Make us recognise it, and whatever were are deficient from, Make us reach it!’
وَ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ لَهُ وَ عَلَى عَدُوِّهِ وَ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ وَ يَكُونُ آخِرُ كَلَامِكَ اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَجِبْ لَنَا اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يُذَكَّرُ فَيَذْكُرُ.
And supplicate to Allah-azwj for him-saww and against his-saww enemies, and ask your Need, and last of your speech should be, ‘O Allah-azwj! Respond to us! O Allah-azwj! Make us from the ones who are remembered, so they remember You-azwj!’’[4]
ثُمَّ قُلْ مَا رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: ادْعُ فِي الْعِيدَيْنِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ إِذَا تَهَيَّأْتَ لِلْخُرُوجِ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ إِلَى آخِرِ مَا سَبَقَ فِي أَدْعِيَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
Then say what we are reporting by our chain to Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Malik Bin Atiya, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘Supplicate with this supplication during the Eid(s) and the Friday when you are preparing to go out, and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! There is one who prepares’ – up to end of what has preceded in supplications of the Friday’’.[5]
3- الْإِقْبَالُ، رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَ قَدْ وَلَاهَا مَرْوَانُ بْنُ الْحَكَمِ مِنْ قِبَلِ يَزِيدَ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ وَ كَانَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ أَمَرَ مُنَادِيَهُ أَنْ يُنَادِيَ فِي النَّاسِ بِالْخُرُوجِ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – We are reporting by our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akbury, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him, by his chain to Jabir Bin Yazeed Al Jufy,
‘From Jabir Bin Abdullah Al-Ansari-ra who said, ‘I was at Al-Medina and Marwan Bin Al-Hakam was its governor, from before Yazeed Bin Muawiya-la, and it was a month of Ramazan. When it was in end of a night from it, he ordered his caller to call out among the people with going out to Al-Baqie for Salat of the Eid.
فَغَدَوْتُ مِنْ مَنْزِلِي أُرِيدُ إِلَى سَيِّدِي عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع غَلَساً فَمَا مَرَرْتُ بِسِكَّةٍ مِنْ سِكَكِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَّا لَقِيتُ أَهْلَهَا خَارِجِينَ إِلَى الْبَقِيعِ فَيَقُولُونَ إِلَى أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ يَا جَابِرُ
I-ra went from my house intending to go to my Chief Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws at twilight. I-ra did not pass by any market from markets of Al-Medina except I met its people going out to Al-Baqie. They said, ‘Where are you intending, O Jabir-ra?’
فَأَقُولُ إِلَى مَسْجِدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَدَخَلْتُهُ فَمَا وَجَدْتُ فِيهِ إِلَّا سَيِّدِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَائِماً يُصَلِّي صَلَاةَ الْفَجْرِ وَحْدَهُ فَوَقَفْتُ وَ صَلَّيْتُ بِصَلَاتِهِ
I-ra said, ‘To Masjid of Rasool-Allah-saww!’, until I-ra came to the Masjid. I-ra entered it. I-ra did not see anyone in it except my Chief Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws, standing, praying Salat Al-Fajr, alone. I-ra paused and prayed along with his-asws Salat.
فَلَمَّا أَنْ فَرَغَ مِنْ صَلَاتِهِ سَجَدَ سَجْدَةَ الشُّكْرِ ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ جَلَسَ يَدْعُو وَ جَعَلْتُ أُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ فَمَا أَتَى إِلَى آخِرِ دُعَائِهِ حَتَّى بَزَغَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَوَثَبَ قَائِماً عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ تُجَاهَ الْقِبْلَةِ وَ تُجَاهَ قَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص-
When he-asws was free from his-asws Salat, he-asws performed a Sajdah of thanks, then he-asws sat supplicating, and I-ra kept on saying ‘Ameen’ to his-asws supplication. He-asws had not come to end of his-asws supplication until the sun emerged (dawn). He-asws leapt up standing upon his‑asws feet facing the Qiblah and facing the grave of Rasool-Allah-saww.
ثُمَّ إِنَّهُ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى صَارَتَا بِإِزَاءِ وَجْهِهِ وَ قَالَ
Then he-asws raised his-asws hands until they came to be parallel to his-asws face, and he-asws said:
إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ فَطَرْتَنِي وَ ابْتَدَأْتَ خَلْقِي- لَا لِحَاجَةٍ مِنْكَ إِلَيَّ بَلْ تَفَضُّلًا مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ وَ قَدَّرْتَ لِي أَجَلًا وَ رِزْقاً لَا أَتَعَدَّاهُمَا وَ لَا يَنْقُصُنِي أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمَا شَيْئاً وَ كَنَفْتَنِي مِنْكَ بِأَنْوَاعِ النِّعَمِ وَ الْكِفَايَةِ طِفْلًا وَ نَاشِئاً مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمَلٍ عَمِلْتُهُ فَعَلِمْتَهُ مِنِّي فَجَازَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ بَلْ كَانَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكَ تَطَوُّلًا عَلَيَّ وَ امْتِنَاناً
‘My God-azwj and my Chief! You-azwj are my Originator and Initiator of my creation, not because of any need on your-azwj part, but rather a Grace from You-azwj towards me and You-azwj Determined for me a term and sustenance, neither transgressing these nor reducing me anyone of these, and You-azwj Bestowed me from You-azwj with a variety of bounties, and Sufficiency when a child and an adolescent, from without any work I had done, You-azwj Know from me, so You-azwj Rewarded me upon it. But, that was from You-azwj as Leniency and Conferment!
فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتَ بِي أَجَلَ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ عِلْمِكَ وَ وَفَّقْتَنِي لِمَعْرِفَةِ وَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ الْإِقْرَارِ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ فَوَحَّدْتُكَ مُخْلِصاً لَمْ أَدْعُ لَكَ شَرِيكاً فِي مُلْكِكَ وَ لَا مُعِيناً عَلَى قُدْرَتِكَ وَ لَمْ أَنْسُبْ إِلَيْكَ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً-
When the Prescribed term from You-azwj Knowledge reaches with me, and You-azwj Harmonise me to recognise Your-azwj Oneness and the acceptance of Your-azwj Lordship-azwj, so I should worship You-azwj sincerely, not claiming there being an associate for You-azwj in Your-azwj Kingdom nor any assistant upon Your-azwj Power, and do not attribute to You-azwj, neither a female companion nor a son!
فَلَمَّا بَلَغْتَ بِي تَنَاهِيَ الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ مَنَنْتَ بِمَنْ هَدَيْتَنِي بِهِ مِنَ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ اسْتَنْقَذْتَنِي بِهِ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ وَ اسْتَخْلَصْتَنِي بِهِ مِنَ الْحَيْرَةِ وَ فَكَكْتَنِي بِهِ مِنَ الْجَهَالَةِ وَ هُوَ حَبِيبُكَ وَ نَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص أَزْلَفُ خَلْقِكَ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَكْرَمُهُمْ مَنْزِلَةً لَدَيْكَ
When then Mercy from You-azwj reached the ultimate point with me, You-azwj Conferred me with the one whom You-azwj Guided me by him-saww from the straying, and You-azwj Saved me by him-saww from the destruction, and You-azwj Rescued me by him from the confusion, and Freed me by him-saww from the ignorance, and he-saww is Your-azwj Beloved and Your-azwj Prophet-saww, Muhammad-saww, the closest of the created beings with You-azwj and their most honourable of status in front of You-azwj!
فَشَهِدْتُ مَعَهُ بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ وَ أَقْرَرْتُ لَكَ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ وَ لَهُ بِالرِّسَالَةِ وَ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ عَلَيَّ الطَّاعَةَ فَأَطَعْتُهُ كَمَا أَمَرْتَ وَ صَدَّقْتُهُ فِيمَا حَتَمْتَ وَ خَصَصْتَهُ بِالْكِتَابِ الْمُنْزَلِ عَلَيْهِ وَ السَّبْعِ الْمَثَانِي الموحات [الْمُوحَاةِ] إِلَيْهِ وَ سَمَّيْتَهُ الْقُرْآنَ وَ أَكْنَيْتَهُ الْفُرْقَانَ الْعَظِيمَ
I have testified with him-saww with the Oneness (for You-azwj), and have acknowledged for You‑azwj with the Lordship-azwj, and for him-saww with the Messenger-ship, and obligated upon me the obedience for him-saww. So, I obeyed him-saww just as You-azwj had Commanded, and ratified him-saww regarding what You-azwj Ordained and Specialised him with Revealing the Book upon him-saww, and the seven doubles (Sab’a Al-Masany) Revealed to him-saww, and You‑azwj Named is as the ‘Quran’, and Titled is as the ‘Magnificent Furqan’!
فَقُلْتَ جَلَّ اسْمُكَ- وَ لَقَدْ آتَيْناكَ سَبْعاً مِنَ الْمَثانِي وَ الْقُرْآنَ الْعَظِيمَ
You-azwj, Majestic is Your-azwj Name, Said: And We have Given you seven from Al-Masaany and the Magnificent Quran [15:87].
وَ قُلْتَ جَلَّ قَوْلُكَ لَهُ حِينَ اخْتَصَصْتَهُ بِمَا سَمَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الْأَسْمَاءِ- طه ما أَنْزَلْنا عَلَيْكَ الْقُرْآنَ لِتَشْقى
And You-azwj, Majestic are Your-azwj Words, Said: when You-azwj Particularised him-saww with what You-azwj Named him-saww from the Names: Ta Ha [20:1] We have not Revealed the Quran unto you for you to be distressed [20:2].
وَ قُلْتَ عَزَّ قَوْلُكَ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ
And You-azwj, Mighty are Your-azwj Words, Said: By the Wise Quran [36:2].
وَ قُلْتَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ ص وَ الْقُرْآنِ ذِي الذِّكْرِ
And You-azwj, Holy are Your-azwj Names, Said: Saad! By the Quran with the Zikr [38:1].
وَ قُلْتَ عَظُمَتْ آلَاؤُكَ ق وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْمَجِيدِ
And You-azwj, Mighty are Your-azwj Favours, Said: Qaf! By the Glorious Quran [50:1].
فَخَصَصْتَهُ أَنْ جَعَلْتَهُ قَسَمَكَ حِينَ أَسْمَيْتَهُ وَ قَرَنْتَ الْقُرْآنَ مَعَهُ فَمَا فِي كِتَابِكَ مِنْ شَاهِدِ قَسَمٍ وَ الْقُرْآنُ مُرْدَفٌ بِهِ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ اسْمُهُ وَ ذَلِكَ شَرَفٌ شَرَّفْتَهُ بِهِ وَ فَضْلٌ بَعَثْتَهُ إِلَيْهِ تَعْجِزُ الْأَلْسُنُ وَ الْأَفْهَامُ عَنْ عِلْمِ وَصْفِ مُرَادِكَ بِهِ وَ تَكِلُّ عَنْ عِلْمِ ثَنَائِكَ عَلَيْهِ
You-azwj Specified him-saww by Making him-saww Your-azwj Swear when You-azwj Named him-saww and Paired the Quran with him-saww. There is no testimony of swear in Your-azwj Book and the Quran is paired with it except and it is his-saww name, and that is a nobility You-azwj Ennobled him-saww with it, and Grace You-azwj had Sent to him-saww. The tongues and the understandings are unable from knowing description of Your-azwj Purpose with it, and are deficient from knowing Your-azwj Praise upon him-saww!
فَقُلْتَ عَزَّ جَلَالُكَ فِي تَأْكِيدِ الْكِتَابِ وَ قَبُولِ مَا جَاءَ فِيهِ- هذا كِتابُنا يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْحَقِ
You-azwj, Mighty is Your-azwj Majesty, Said in Emphasising the Book and Accepting what he-saww had come with: This is Our Book, speaking to you with the Truth. [45:29].
وَ قُلْتَ عَزَّيْتَ وَ جَلَّيْتَ [عَزَزْتَ وَ جَلَلْتَ] ما فَرَّطْنا فِي الْكِتابِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ
And You-azwj, Mighty are You-azwj and Majestic, Said: We have not neglected in the Book of anything; [6:38].
وَ قُلْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ فِي عَامَّةِ ابْتِدَائِهِ- الر تِلْكَ آياتُ الْكِتابِ الْحَكِيمِ- الر كِتابٌ أُحْكِمَتْ آياتُهُ ثُمَّ فُصِّلَتْ- الر تِلْكَ آياتُ الْكِتابِ الْمُبِينِ- المر تِلْكَ آياتُ الْكِتابِ- الر كِتابٌ أَنْزَلْناهُ إِلَيْكَ- الر تِلْكَ آياتُ الْكِتابِ وَ الم ذلِكَ الْكِتابُ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ
And You-azwj, Blessed are You-azwj and Exalted, Said in generality of Your-azwj beginnings: Alif Lam Ra; these are Verses of the Book of the Wise [10:1]; Alif Lam Ra; a Book, its Verses are Perfected, then are Detailed, [11:1]; Alif Lam Ra. These are the Verses of the Clarifying Book [12:1]; Alif Lam Meem Ra. These are Verses of the Book; [13:1]; Alif Lam Ra. A Book We Revealed to you, [14:1]; Alif Lam Ra. These are the Verses of the Book [15:1]; Alif Lam Meem [2:1] That is the Book. There is no doubt in it [2:2].
وَ فِي أَمْثَالِهَا مِنَ السُّوَرِ وَ الطَّوَاسِينِ وَ الْحَوَامِيمِ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ ثَنَّيْتَ بِالْكِتَابِ مَعَ الْقَسَمِ الَّذِي هُوَ اسْمُ مَنِ اخْتَصَصْتَهُ لِوَحْيِكَ وَ اسْتَوْدَعْتَهُ سِرَّ غَيْبِكَ
And similar to it from the Chapters, and ‘Al-Tawaseen’ (Beginning with ‘Ta Seen’), and ‘Al-Hawameem’ (Beginning with ‘Ha Meem’), in all that You-azwj Seconded with the Book with the Swear which it is a name of the one You-azwj Specialised for Your-azwj Revelation and Entrusted him-saww with secrets of Your-azwj unseen matters.
فَأَوْضَحَ لَنَا مِنْهُ شُرُوطَ فَرَائِضِكَ وَ أَبَانَ لَنَا عَنْ وَاضِحِ سُنَّتِكَ وَ أَفْصَحَ لَنَا عَنِ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ وَ أَنَارَ لَنَا مُدْلَهِمَّاتِ الظَّلَامِ وَ جَنَّبَنَا رُكُوبَ الْآثَامِ وَ أَلْزَمَنَا الطَّاعَةَ وَ وَعَدَنَا مِنْ بَعْدِهَا الشَّفَاعَةَ
From it, he-saww clarified for us conditions of Your-azwj obligations, and explained to us about Your-azwj clear Sunnah, and clarified for us about the Permissible and the Prohibited, and irradiated for us the guiding lights in the darkness, and kept us aside from the sins, and necessitated us the obedience, and promised us the intercession after it.
فَكُنْتُ مِمَّنْ أَطَاعَ أَمْرَهُ وَ أَجَابَ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ اسْتَمْسَكَ بِحَبْلِهِ فَأَقَمْتُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ آتَيْتُ الزَّكَاةَ وَ الْتَزَمْتُ الصِّيَامَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ حَقّاً فَقُلْتَ جَلَّ اسْمُكَ- كُتِبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الصِّيامُ كَما كُتِبَ عَلَى الَّذِينَ مِنْ قَبْلِكُمْ
I was from the one who obeyed his-saww instructions, and answered his-saww call, and held on to his-saww rope. I established the Salat, and gave the Zakat, and necessitated the fasts which You-azwj Made is a right. You-azwj, Majestic is Your-azwj Name, Said: Fasting is Prescribed upon you just as it was Prescribed upon those ones from before you, perhaps you may be fearing [2:183].
ثُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَبَنْتَهُ فَقُلْتَ عَزَّيْتَ وَ جَلَّيْتَ- شَهْرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ وَ قُلْتَ فَمَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْكُمُ الشَّهْرَ فَلْيَصُمْهُ
Then You-azwj Explained it. You-azwj, Mighty are You-azwj and Majestic, Said: The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, [2:185], and You-azwj Said: therefore whoever of you is present in the Month, so let him Fast during it, [2:185].
وَ رَغَّبْتَ فِي الْحَجِّ بَعْدَ إِذْ فَرَضْتَهُ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ الَّذِي حَرَّمْتَهُ فَقُلْتَ جَلَّ اسْمُكَ- وَ لِلَّهِ عَلَى النَّاسِ حِجُّ الْبَيْتِ مَنِ اسْتَطاعَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلًا
And You-azwj Incited Desire regarding the Hajj after having Obligated it, to Your-azwj House which You-azwj Sanctified. You-azwj, Majestic is Your-azwj Name, Said: And for the Sake of Allah, Hajj of the House is incumbent upon the people for the one has the capacity for a way to it; [3:97].

6- الْإِقْبَالُ، رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: فَإِذَا قُمْتَ لِلصَّلَاةِ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ فَكَبِّرْ وَ قُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدَيْكَ هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ أَتَيْتُكَ وَافِداً إِلَيْكَ تَائِباً مِنْ ذُنُوبِي إِلَيْكَ زَائِراً لَكَ وَ حَقُّ الزَّائِرِ عَلَى الْمَزُورِ التُّحْفَةُ فَاجْعَلْ تُحْفَتِي مِنْكَ وَ تُحْفَتَكَ لِي رِضَاكَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ –
‘We are reporting with our chain to Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you stand for the Salat facing the Qiblah, exclaim Takbeer and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I am Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj servant, fleeing from You-azwj to You-azwj! I have come to You-azwj repenting to You‑azwj from my sins, a visitor to You-azwj, and there is a right of the visitor upon the visited of the gift, therefore Make my gift from You-azwj and Your-azwj Gift to me be Your-azwj Satisfaction and the Paradise!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ أَيْ رَبِّ وَ جَعَلْتَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةً خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ ثُمَّ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِصِيَامِهِ وَ قِيَامِهِ فِيمَا مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ فَتَمِّمْ عَلَيَّ مَنَّكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Then You-azwj Magnified sanctity of the month of Ramazan, then You-azwj Sent down the Quran in it! Yes Lord-azwj, and You-azwj Made in it Laylat Al-Qadr as being better than a thousand months, then You-azwj Conferred upon me with its fasting and its standing (for Salat) among what You-azwj Conferred upon me, so Complete upon me Your-azwj Conferment and Your-azwj Mercy!
أَيْ رَبِّ إِنَّ لَكَ فِيهِ عُتَقَاءَ فَإِنْ كُنْتُ مِمَّنْ أَعْتَقْتَنِي فِيهِ فَتَمِّمْ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي فِي ذَنْبٍ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ فَعَلْتَ يَا رَبِّ لِضَعْفِ عَمَلٍ أَوْ لِعِظَمِ ذَنْبٍ فَبِكَرَمِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَحَمَاتِكَ
Yes Lord-azwj! There are liberated ones for You-azwj during it, so if I have been from the ones You-azwj will be Liberating me during it, then Complete upon me and do not Let me return into sin for as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain, and if You-azwj are not going to be doing so due to my weak deeds, or major sins, then by You-azwj Benevolence, and Your-azwj Grace, and Your Mercy!
وَ كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ- لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهَا وَ حُرْمَةَ مَنْ عَظَّمْتَ فِيهَا وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ عَلَيْهِمَا سَلَامُكَ وَ صَلَوَاتُكَ
And Your-azwj Book which You-azwj Sent down in the month of Ramazan, on Laylat Al-Qadr, and what You-azwj Revealed in it, and Sanctity of the one You-azwj have Magnified in it, and by Muhammad-saww and Ali-asws, may Your-azwj Greeting and Your-azwj Salawaat be upon them-asws!
وَ بِكَ يَا اللَّهُ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ مَنْ بَعْدَهُ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ يَا اللَّهُ أَعْتِقْنِي فِيمَنْ أَعْتَقْتَ السَّاعَةَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ ص.
And with You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, I divert to You-azwj, and by Muhammad-saww and the ones-asws after him-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww and upon them-asws! I divert with you-asws all to Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! Liberate me right now among the ones You-azwj Liberate through Muhammad-saww!’’[10]
7- الْإِقْبَالُ، وَ زَوَائِدُ الْفَوَائِدِ، الدُّعَاءُ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي سَأَلْتُكَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ أَنْ تُحْسِنَ مَعُونَتِي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنْ تُبْلِغَنِي اسْتِتْمَامَهُ وَ فِطْرَهُ وَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ بِعِبَادَتِكَ وَ حُسْنِ مَعُونَتِكَ وَ تَسْهِيلِ أَسْبَابِ تَوْفِيقِكَ
(The books) ‘Al Iqbal’ and ‘Wazaid Al Fawaid’ –
‘The supplication after the Eid Salat – ‘O Allah-azwj! I had asked You-azwj to Grace me fasting the month of Ramazan and to Improve my Assistance upon it, and to Make me reach its completion and its Fitra (breaking fast), and to Confer upon me during that with worshipping You-azwj, and Your-azwj goodly Assistance, and Ease causes of Your-azwj Inclination.
فَأَجَبْتَنِي وَ أَحْسَنْتَ مَعُونَتِي عَلَيْهِ وَ فَعَلْتَ ذَلِكَ بِي وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي حُسْنَ صَنِيعِكَ وَ كَرِيمَ إِجَابَتِكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ عَلَى مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي مِنْهُ
You-azwj Answered me and Improved Assisting me upon it, and You-azwj Did that with me and Made me recognise Your-azwj excellent Craftsmanship, and Your-azwj Benevolent Response! For You-azwj is the Praise upon what You-azwj have Grace me from that, and upon what You-azwj have Granted me from it!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ عَظَّمْتَ قَدْرَهُ وَ كَرَّمْتَ حَالَهُ وَ شَرَّفْتَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ عِيداً لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ أَمَرْتَ عِبَادَكَ أَنْ يَبْرُزُوا لَكَ فِيهِ لِتُوَفَّى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَا عَمِلَتْ وَ ثَوَابَ مَا قَدَّمَتْ وَ لِتَفَضَّلَ عَلَى أَهْلِ النَّقْصِ فِي الْعِبَادَةِ وَ التَّقْصِيرِ فِي الِاجْتِهَادِ فِي أَدَاءِ الْفَرِيضَةِ بِمَا لَا يَمْلِكُهُ غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ سِوَاكَ
O Allah-azwj, and this day, You-azwj have Magnified its worth, and Honoured its state, and Ennobled its sanctity, and Made it an Eid for the Muslims, and You-azwj Commanded Your-azwj servants to come out to You-azwj during it in order for every soul to come for what it has worked, and Rewards for what it had sent ahead, and for You-azwj to Grace upon the people deficient in the worship and the deficiency in the striving in fulfilling the obligations with what no one can control apart from You-azwj, nor is able upon it besides You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ وَافَاكَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فِي هَذَا الْمَقَامِ مَنْ عَمِلَ لَكَ عَمَلًا قَلَّ ذَلِكَ الْعَمَلُ أَوْ كَثُرَ كُلُّهُمْ يَطْلُبُ أَجْرَ مَا عَمِلَ وَ يَسْأَلُ الزِّيَادَةَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فِي ثَوَابِ صَوْمِهِ لَكَ وَ عِبَادَتِهِ إِيَّاكَ عَلَى حَسَبِ مَا قُلْتَ- يَسْئَلُهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ
O Allah-azwj, and they have come to You-azwj during this day, in this place, ones who have done work for You-azwj, be that little or a lot, each of them seeking Recompense of what he has done and asking for the increase from Your-azwj Grace in Rewards of his fasting for You-azwj and his worship to You-azwj, based upon what You-azwj have Said: Everyone in the skies and the earth asks Him. Every day He is in Splendour [55:29].
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الْعَارِفُ بِمَا أَلْزَمْتَنِي وَ الْمُقِرُّ بِمَا أَمَرْتَنِي الْمُعْتَرِفُ بِنَقْصِ عَمَلِي وَ التَّقْصِيرِ فِي اجْتِهَادِي وَ الْمُخِلُّ بِفَرْضِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ التَّارِكُ لِمَا ضَمِنْتُ لَكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي
O Allah-azwj, and I am Your-azwj servant, having recognised what You-azwj have Necessitated me with, accepting with what You-azwj have Commanded me, acknowledging with the deficiency of my deeds, and the reduction in my striving, and disobedient with Your-azwj obligations upon me, and neglected what I had guaranteed to You-azwj upon myself!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ صُمْتُ فَشُبْتُ صَوْمِي لَكَ فِي أَحْوَالِ الْخَطَاءِ وَ الْعَمْدِ وَ النِّسْيَانِ وَ الذِّكْرِ وَ الْحِفْظِ بِأَشْيَاءَ نَطَقَ بِهَا لِسَانِي أَوْ رَأَتْهَا عَيْنِي وَ هَوَتْهَا نَفْسِي وَ مَالَ إِلَيْهَا هَوَايَ وَ أَحَبَّهَا قَلْبِي أَوِ اشْتَهَتْهَا رُوحِي أَوْ بَسَطْتُ إِلَيْهَا يَدِي أَوْ سَعَيْتُ إِلَيْهَا بِرِجْلِي مِنْ حَلَالِكَ الْمُبَاحِ بِأَمْرِكَ إِلَى حَرَامِكَ الْمَحْظُورِ بِنَهْيِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and I fasted and dedicated my fasts to You-azwj in situations of errors, and the deliberate, and the forgetfulness, and the remembrance, and preservation of the things my tongue has spoken with, or my eyes have seen, and my soul has imagined, and my whims have inclined to, and my heart has loved, or my soul has desires, or my hand have extended to, or my legs have strived to it, from Your-azwj Permissible(s), the Legalised by Your-azwj Command, to Your-azwj Prohibition, the Cautioned by Your-azwj Forbidding!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كُلُّ مَا كَانَ مِنِّي مُحْصًى عَلَيَّ غَيْرَ مُخِلٍّ بِقَلِيلٍ وَ لَا كَثِيرٍ وَ لَا صَغِيرٍ وَ لَا كَبِيرٍ
O Allah-azwj, and all what has happened from me, Count upon me without being meticulous, neither with little nor more, nor small nor big!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ بَرَزْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ خَلَوْتُ بِكَ لِأَعْتَرِفَ لَكَ بِنَقْصِ عَمَلِي وَ تَقْصِيرِي فِيمَا يَلْزَمُنِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَوْدَ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الْعَائِدَةِ الْحَسَنَةِ عَلَيَّ بِأَحْسَنِ رَجَائِي وَ أَفْضَلِ أَمَلِي وَ أَكْمَلِ طَمَعِي فِي رِضْوَانِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and I have come out to You-azwj and isolated with You-azwj to acknowledge to You‑azwj with deficiency of my actions and my falling short regarding what You-azwj have Necessitated me, and I ask You-azwj for the Repeating unto me with the Forgiveness and the excellent Aid upon me with my good hopes, and best of my works, and most perfect of my eagerness regarding Your-azwj Satisfaction!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ نَقْصٍ وَ كُلَّ تَقْصِيرٍ وَ إِسَاءَةٍ وَ كُلَّ تَفْرِيطٍ وَ كُلَّ جَهْلٍ وَ كُلَّ عَمْدٍ وَ كُلَّ خَطَاءٍ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ فِي شَهْرِي هَذَا وَ فِي صَوْمِي لَهُ وَ فِي فَرْضِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ هَبْهُ لِي وَ تَصَدَّقْ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ تَجَاوَزْ لِي عَنْهُ يَا غَايَةَ كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ وَ يَا مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ مَسْأَلَةٍ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me every defect and every deficiency and wrongdoing, and every excess, and every ignorance, and every deliberate, and every mistake entered upon me during this month of mine, and in my fasting of it, and regarding Your-azwj obligation upon me, and Grant to me and Donate with it upon me, and Overlook it from me, O Peak of every desire, and O Ultimate of every request!
وَ اقْبَلْنِي مِنْ وَجْهِي هَذَا وَ قَدْ عَظَّمْتَ فِيهِ جَائِزَتِي وَ أَجْزَلْتَ فِيهِ عَطِيَّتِي وَ كَرَّمْتَ فِيهِ حِبَائِي وَ تَفَضَّلْتَ عَلَيَّ بِأَفْضَلَ مِنْ رَغْبَتِي وَ أَعْظَمَ مِنْ مَسْأَلَتِي:
And Accept me from this aspect of mine and You-azwj have Magnified my Rewards in it, and have Made my Grants plentiful in it, and Honoured my Gifts in it, and Graced upon me with best of my desires, and mighty ones from my requests!
يَا إِلَهِي يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِكَ شَيْءٌ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي الْعَمْدَ مِنْهَا وَ الْخَطَاءَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ
O my God-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj Who, there isn’t anything like You-azwj, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive my sins for me, the deliberate (ones) from these and the mistakes, during this day and at this time!
يَا رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ وَلِيَّهُ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بِي وَ تُبْ بِمَنِّكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَأْفَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً لَا أَشْقَى بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً
O Lord-azwj of everything and its Guardian! Do that with me and Turn with Your-azwj Conferment, and Your-azwj Grace, and Your-azwj Kindness, and Your-azwj Mercy upon me with sincere repentance, so I will not be miserable after it, ever!
يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّكِّ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ وَ الْكُفْرِ بَعْدَ الْإِيمَانِ
O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! For You‑azwj are the lofty examples, and the excellent Names! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the doubt after the certainty, and the Kufr after the Eman!
يَا إِلَهِي اغْفِرْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ يَا إِلَهِي تُبْ عَلَيَّ يَا إِلَهِي ارْحَمْنِي يَا إِلَهِي ارْحَمْ فَقْرِي يَا إِلَهِي ارْحَمْ ذُلِّي يَا إِلَهِي ارْحَمْ مَسْكَنَتِي يَا إِلَهِي ارْحَمْ عَبْرَتِي يَا إِلَهِي لَا تُخَيِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَرْجُوكَ

وَ أَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ لِنَبِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ- وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ لِيُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ أَنْتَ فِيهِمْ وَ ما كانَ اللَّهُ مُعَذِّبَهُمْ وَ هُمْ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ
And O Allah-azwj, I seek Refuge with You-azwj, to You-azwj! You-azwj Said to Your-azwj Prophet-saww, may the Greeting be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws: And Allah was not going to Punish them while you were among them, nor would Allah Punish them while they are seeking Forgiveness [8:33].
أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ يَا رَبِّ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِي كُلِّهَا مَا تَعَمَّدْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا أَخْطَأْتُ وَ مَا حَفِظْتُ وَ مَا نَسِيتُ

اللَّهُمَّ وَ قَدْ قُلْتَ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ وَ قُلْتَ وَ سْئَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيماً وَ قُلْتَ وَعْدَ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كانُوا يُوعَدُونَ
O Allah-azwj, and You-azwj have Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. [40:60]; and You-azwj Said: and ask Allah from His Grace. [4:32] Allah was always Merciful with you all [4:29]; and You-azwj Said: being the Truthful Promise which they were Promised [46:16].
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي مُتَنَجِّزاً لِوَعْدِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي كُلَّ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي وَ كُلَّ أُمْنِيَّتِي وَ كُلَّ سُوءٍ لِي وَ كُلَّ هَمِّي وَ كُلَّ نَهْمَتِي وَ كُلَّ هَوَايَ وَ كُلَّ مَحَبَّتِي
(My) Allah-azwj, and I am supplicating to You-azwj just as You-azwj have Commanded me to achieve Your-azwj Promise. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Grant me all what You-azwj have Promised me and all of my wishes; and (removal of) every evil of mine, and every worry, and every hunger, and every personal desire, and (wrongful) love!
وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ سَائِحاً فِي حَلَالِكَ ثَابِتاً فِي طَاعَتِكَ مُتَرَدِّداً فِي مَرْضَاتِكَ مُتَصَرِّفاً فِيمَا دَعَوْتَ إِلَيْهِ غَيْرَ مَصْرُوفٍ مِنْهُ قَلِيلًا وَ لَا كَثِيراً فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ لَا فِي مُخَالَفَةٍ لِأَمْرِكَ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And Make that, all of it affirmed in the bounds of Your-azwj Permissible in Your-azwj obedience, wavering in Your-azwj Satisfaction, spent in what You-azwj have Called to, nor turning away from it, neither little nor more in anything from disobedience to You-azwj, nor in opposition to Your‑azwj Command! God-azwj of the Truth, Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا وَفَّقْتَنِي لِدُعَائِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَفِّقْ لِي إِجَابَتَكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Allah-azwj, and just as You-azwj are Harmonising me to supplicate to You-azwj, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Harmonise me to Your-azwj Response, You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ تَهَيَّأَ أَوْ تَعَبَّأَ أَوْ أَعَدَّ أَوِ اسْتَعَدَّ لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَاءَ رِفْدِهِ وَ جَوَائِزِهِ وَ نَوَافِلِهِ وَ فَرَائِضِهِ وَ عَطَايَاهُ فَإِلَيْكَ يَا سَيِّدِي كَانَتْ تَهْيِئَتِي وَ تَعْبِئَتِي وَ إِعْدَادِي وَ اسْتِعْدَادِي رَجَاءَ رِفْدِكَ وَ جَوَائِزِكَ وَ فَوَاضِلِكَ وَ نَوَافِلِكَ وَ عَطَايَاكَ
O Allah-azwj! There is one who prepares, or makes arrangements, or gets ready, or equips for going to a created being hoping for his provisions, and his rewards, and his optional and his obligations and his awards, so to You-azwj, O my Master, would be my pursuit, and my preparation, and my readiness, and my equipping hoping for You‑azwj Provisions, and Your-azwj Rewards, and Your-azwj Merits, and Your-azwj Gifts, and Your-azwj Awards!
وَ قَدْ غَدَوْتُ إِلَى عِيدٍ مِنْ أَعْيَادِ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ لَمْ آتِكَ الْيَوْمَ بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ أَثِقُ بِهِ قَدَّمْتُهُ وَ لَا تَوَجَّهْتُ بِمَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ وَ لَكِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ خَاضِعاً مُقِرّاً بِذُنُوبِي وَ إِسَاءَتِي إِلَى نَفْسِي وَ لَا حُجَّةَ لِي وَ لَا عُذْرَ لِي
And I have come out to an Eid from festivals of the community of Muhammad-saww, and I have not come to You-azwj today with any righteous deed I can trust with nor have I diverted to any created being hoping to him, but I have come to You-azwj humbly, acknowledging my sins and my evil deeds to myself, and there is no argument for me nor is there any excuse for me!
أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو أَعْظَمَ عَفْوِكَ الَّذِي عَفَوْتَ بِهِ عَنِ الْخَاطِئِينَ وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي غَفَرْتَ لَهُمْ عَظِيمَ جُرْمِهِمْ وَ لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى عَظِيمِ جُرْمِهِمْ أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالرَّحْمَةِ
I have come to You-azwj for Your-azwj Mighty Pardon which You-azwj have Pardoned the sinners with, and You-azwj are the One Who Forgave for them their mighty crimes and the length of their devotion upon their mighty crimes did not Prevent You-azwj from Repeated the Mercy upon them!
فَيَا مَنْ رَحْمَتُهُ وَاسِعَةٌ وَ فَضْلُهُ عَظِيمٌ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عُدْ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ تَعَطَّفْ عَلَيَّ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ رِزْقَكَ
O One Whose Mercy is vast, and His-azwj Grace is Mighty! O Mighty! O Mighty! O Mighty! O Benevolent! O Benevolent! O Benevolent! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny‑asws of Muhammad-saww, and Repeat unto me with Your-azwj Mercy and Confer upon me with Your-azwj Pardon and Your-azwj well-being, and be Compassionate upon me with Your‑azwj Grace, and Expand Your-azwj sustenance upon me!
يَا رَبِّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ إِلَّا حِلْمُكَ وَ لَا يَرُدُّ سَخَطَكَ إِلَّا عَفْوُكَ وَ لَا يُجِيرُ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ إِلَّا رَحْمَتُكَ وَ لَا يُنْجِينِي مِنْكَ إِلَّا التَّضَرُّعُ إِلَيْكَ
O Lord-azwj! Nothing can return Your-azwj Wrath except Your-azwj Forbearance, nor can Your-azwj Annoyance be returned except by Your-azwj Pardon, nor is there any shelter from Your-azwj Punishment except Your-azwj Mercy, nor is there any rescue from You-azwj except the beseeching to You-azwj!
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ هَبْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي فَرَجاً بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي بِهَا تُحْيِي أَمْوَاتَ الْعِبَادِ وَ بِهَا تَنْشُرُ مَيْتَ الْبِلَادِ وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي يَا إِلَهِي غَمّاً حَتَّى تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي وَ تُعَرِّفَنِي الْإِجَابَةَ فِي دُعَائِي وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْعَافِيَةِ إِلَى مُنْتَهَى أَجَلِي وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْهُ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا تُمْكِنْهُ مِنْ عُنُقِي
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and O God-azwj, Gift to me a relief by the Power by which You-azwj Revive the dead servants, and by it You-azwj Grow the dead lands! O my God-azwj, and do not Destroy me with sorrow until You-azwj Respond to me and Introduce the Response to me regarding my supplication and Make me taste the food of well-being up to the end of my term, and do not let my enemy gloat with me nor let them prevail upon me, nor Enable him upon my neck!
يَا رَبِّ إِنْ رَفَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَضَعُنِي وَ إِنْ وَضَعْتَنِي فَمَنِ الَّذِي يَرْفَعُنِي وَ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَرْحَمُنِي إِنْ عَذَّبْتَنِي وَ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُعَذِّبُنِي إِنْ رَحِمْتَنِي
O Lord-azwj! If You-azwj were to Raise me, then who is the one who can drop me; and if You-azwj were to drop me, then who is the one who can raise me? And who is the one who can mercy me if You-azwj were to Punish me; and who is the one who can punish me if You-azwj were to Mercy me?
وَ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُكْرِمُنِي إِنْ أَهَنْتَنِي وَ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُهِينُنِي إِنْ أَكْرَمْتَنِي وَ إِنْ أَهْلَكْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَعْرِضُ لَكَ فِي عَبْدِكَ أَوْ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ
And who is the one who can honour me if You-azwj were to Humiliate me; and who is the one who can humiliate me if You-azwj were to Honour me? And if You-azwj were to Destroy me, then who is the one who can object to You-azwj regarding Your-azwj servant, or ask You-azwj about his affair?
وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي حُكْمِكَ جَوْرٌ وَ لَا فِي عُقُوبَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخَافُ الْفَوْتَ وَ إِنَّمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيفُ وَ قَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ سَيِّدِي عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً
And I have Known, O my God-azwj, there isn’t any tyranny in Your-azwj Judgment, nor is there hastiness in Your-azwj Punishment, and rather he makes haste the one who fears missing the opportunity, and rather he is needy to the injustice, the one who is weak, and You-azwj are Exalted from that, my Chief, Lofty, Great!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي لِلْبَلَاءِ غَرَضاً وَ لَا لِنَقِمَتِكَ نَصَباً وَ مَهِّلْنِي وَ نَفِّسْنِي وَ أَقِلْ عَثْرَتِي وَ ارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعِي وَ لَا تُتْبِعْنِي بِبَلَاءٍ عَلَى أَثَرِ بَلَاءٍ فَقَدْ تَرَى ضَعْفِي وَ قِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي وَ تَضَرُّعِي إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and do not Make me a target for the afflictions, nor a set up for Your-azwj Vengeance, and Respite me and Relieve me, and Uproot my stumbles, and Mercy my beseeching, and do not Pursue me with an affliction upon tracks of an affliction, for You-azwj can see my weakness, and scarcity of my means, and my beseeching to You-azwj!
أَعُوذُ بِكَ الْيَوْمَ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَعِذْنِي وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَجِرْنِي

وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنِّي لَنْ أَعُودَ لِشَيْءٍ كَرِهْتَهُ إِنْ شِئْتَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَبِّ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
And I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness for what has passed from my sins, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive me, for I will never return to anything You-azwj Dislike, if You-azwj so Desire that! O Lord-azwj! O Affectionate! O Bestower! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي جَمِيعَ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ طَلَبْتُهُ مِنْكَ وَ رَغِبْتُ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَ قَدِّرْهُ وَ أَرِدْهُ وَ اقْضِهِ وَ أَمْضِهِ وَ خِرْ لِي فِيمَا تَقْضِي مِنْهُ وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِهِ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Respond to me entirety of what I am requesting You-azwj and seeking from You-azwj, and being desirous regarding it to You-azwj, and Determine it, and Will it, and Fulfil it, and Accomplish it, and Choose for me among what You-azwj Fulfil from it, and Grace upon me with it!
وَ أَسْعِدْنِي بِمَا تُعْطِينِي مِنْهُ وَ زِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ سَعَةِ مَا عِنْدَكَ فَإِنَّكَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ وَ صِلْ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِخَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ نَعِيمِهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ إِلَهَ الْحَقِّ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And Make me happy with what You-azwj Give me from it, and Increase me from Your-azwj Grace, and Expand what is with You-azwj, for You-azwj are Capacious, Benevolent, and Connect all of that with goodness of the Hereafter and its bounties, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, God-azwj of the Truth, Lord-azwj of the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً وَ اجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطَاناً نَصِيراً

O Allah-azwj, and I have come out to an Eid from festivals of community of Muhammad-saww and I did not trust others, and did not come to You-azwj with any righteous deed I can be trusting with, nor have I diverted to any created being, hoping to him!
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي عِيدِنَا هَذَا كَمَا هَدَيْتَنَا لَهُ وَ رَزَقْتَنَا وَ أَعِنَّا عَلَيْهِ
O Allah-azwj! Bless for us in this Eid of our, just as You-azwj have Guided us to it, and Graced us, and Assisted us upon it!
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا مَا أُدِّيَتْ عَنَّا فِيهِ مِنْ حَقٍّ وَ مَا قُضِيَتْ عَنَّا فِيهِ مِنْ فَرِيضَةٍ وَ مَا اتَّبَعْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ سُنَّةٍ وَ مَا تَنَفَّلْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ نَافِلَةٍ وَ مَا أَذِنْتَ لَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ تَطَوُّعٍ وَ مَا تَقَرَّبْنَا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ نُسُكٍ وَ مَا اسْتَعْمَلْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْعِبَادَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Accept from us what rights You-azwj have Fulfilled about us, and what obligations You-azwj have Decreed about us during it, and whatever Sunnah we have followed during it, and whatever we have volunteered with from the optional Salat, and whatever You-azwj have Permitted for us during it of the extra acts of worship, and whatever rituals we have offered to You-azwj, and whatever obedience we have utilised during it, and whatever You-azwj have Graced us during it, from the well-being and the worship!
اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ زَاكِياً كَافِياً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Accept from us all of that as pure, sufficient, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ لَا تُذِلَّنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْزَزْتَنَا وَ لَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ وَفَّقْتَنَا وَ لَا تُهِنَّا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَكْرَمْتَنَا وَ لَا تُفْقِرْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَغْنَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْطَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ رَزَقْتَنَا وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ شَيْئاً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَا إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيْنَا لِشَيْءٍ كَانَ مِنَّا وَ لَا لِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ
O Allah-azwj! Do not let our hearts to deviate after having Guided us, nor let us be humiliated after You-azwj have Honoured us, nor let us stray after You-azwj have Harmonised us, nor let us be disgraced after having Honoured us, nor let us be impoverished after having Enriched us, nor Prevent us after having Given us, nor Deprive us after having Graced us, nor Change anything from Your-azwj bounties upon us, nor Your-azwj Favours to us for anything having happened from us, nor for what is to happen.
فَإِنَّ فِي كَرَمِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ سَعَةً لِمَغْفِرَتِكَ ذُنُوبَنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَأَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا مِنَ النَّارِ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
Surely, in Your-azwj Benevolence, and Your-azwj Pardon, and Your-azwj Grace there is vastness for You-azwj to Forgive our sins by Your-azwj Mercy. Liberate our necks from the Hellfire, by ‘There is no god except You-azwj’, O there is no god except You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ إِنْ كُنْتَ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ أَنْ تَزْدَادَ عَنِّي رِضًا لَا سَخَطَ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً عَلَيَّ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَمْ تَرْضَ عَنِّي
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Benevolent Face, if You-azwj were Satisfied with me during this month, to Increase for me such Satisfaction there will be no Annoyance upon me after it, ever, and even if You-azwj were not Satisfied with me!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَمِنَ الْآنَ فَارْضَ عَنِّي رِضًا لَا سَخَطَ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً عَلَيَّ وَ ارْحَمْنِي رَحْمَةً لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ أَسْعِدْنِي سَعَادَةً لَا أَشْقَى بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ أَغْنِنِي غِنًى لَا فَقْرَ بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً
And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from that, so from now on, be Satisfied with me, there being no Annoyance upon me after it, ever, and Mercy me with such Mercy, You-azwj will not Punish me after it, ever, and Make me happy with such happiness, I will not be miserable after it, ever, and Enrich me with such richness, there will be poverty after it, ever!
وَ اجْعَلْ أَفْضَلَ جَائِزَتِكَ لِي الْيَوْمَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ بَلَّغْتَنَا بِهِ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ إِلَّا فَأَخِّرْ آجَالَنَا إِلَى قَابِلٍ حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَنَاهُ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
And Make Your-azwj best Rewards for me today being Your-azwj Liberating my neck from the Hellfire, and Give me from the Paradise what You-azwj are rightful of, and if You-azwj had Cause us to reach Laylat Al-Qadr (then fine), or else Delay our deaths up to the next year until we reach it in ease from You-azwj and well-being, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ أَعْطِ جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ لِنَفْسِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ:
And do not Make is last of the pacts from us for the month of Ramazan, and Give to entirety of the believing men and the believing women what I have asked You-azwj for myself, by Your‑azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ- حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى خَيْرِ خَلْقِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً
Whatever Allah-azwj Desires, there, is no strength except by Allah-azwj! Allah-azwj Suffices us and is the best Protector, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon best of His-azwj creatures, Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and abundant Greetings!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَرَى وَ لَا تُرَى وَ أَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى تَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَ أَخْفَى فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي النُّورِ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي الظِّلِّ وَ الْحَرُورِ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصَالِ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْأَزْمَانِ وَ الْأَحْوَالِ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ فِي قَفْرِ أَرْضِكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ

إِلَهِي صَلَّيْنَا خَمْسَنَا وَ حَصَّنَّا فُرُوجَنَا وَ صُمْنَا شَهْرَنَا وَ أَطَعْنَاكَ رَبَّنَا وَ أَدَّيْنَا زَكَاةَ رُءُوسِنَا طَيِّبَةً بِهَا نُفُوسُنَا وَ خَرَجْنَا إِلَيْكَ لِأَخْذِ جَوَائِزِنَا
My God-azwj! We have prayed our five (daily Salats), and we fortified our private parts, and we have fasted our month, and we can come to You-azwj, our Lord-azwj, and we have paid our Zakat of our heads feeling good with it in our souls, and we have come out to You-azwj to take our Rewards!
فَصَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنَا وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ لَا تَرُدَّنَا عَلَى عَقِبِنَا وَ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا وَ ارْزُقْنَا صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ نَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ وَ زَوِّجْنَا مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

بيان: وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ وَ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّ السِّرَّ مَا أَخْفَيْتَهُ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَ أَخْفَى مَا خَطَرَ بِبَالِكَ ثُمَّ أُنْسِيتَهُ.
Explanation (Ahadeeth only) – And it is reported from Al-Baqir-asws and Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The secret is what you hide within yourself, and the hidden is what occurs in your mind, then you forget it’’.
وَ قُلْ مَا رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ الْعِيدِ الْمَذْكُورِ ضَعْ خَدَّكَ الْأَيْمَنَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ قُلْ- سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي كَمْ مِنْ عَتِيقٍ لَكَ فَاجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ أَعْتَقْتَ
And say what we are reporting by our chains to Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When you are free from the mentioned supplication of the Eid, place your right cheek upon the ground and say, ‘My Chief! My Chief! However, many liberations there are for You-azwj, Make me from the liberated ones!
سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي وَ كَمْ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ فَاجْعَلْ ذَنْبِي فِيمَا غَفَرْتَ
My Chief! My Chief, and however many sins You-azwj are Forgiving, Make my sins to be among what You-azwj Forgive!

سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي كَمْ مِنْ دَعْوَةٍ قَدْ أَجَبْتَ فَاجْعَلْ دَعْوَتِي فِيمَا أَجَبْتَ
My Chief! My Chief! However, many supplications You-azwj Answer, Make my supplications to be among what You-azwj Answer!
سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي وَ ارْحَمْ سُجُودِي فِي السَّاجِدِينَ وَ ارْحَمْ عَبْرَتِي فِي الْمُسْتَعْبِرِينَ وَ ارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعِي فِيمَنْ تَضَرَّعَ مِنَ الْمُتَضَرِّعِينَ
My Chief! My Chief, and Mercy my Sajdah among the prostrators, and Mercy my tears among the crying ones, and Mercy my beseeching among the beseeching from the beseeching ones!

سَيِّدِي وَ إِلَهِي أَسَأْتُ وَ ظَلَمْتُ وَ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ اعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبِي وَ بِئْسَ مَا عَمِلْتُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي يَا مَوْلَايَ أَيْ كَرِيمُ أَيْ عَزِيزُ أَيْ جَمِيلُ-
My Chief and my God-azwj! I have been evil, and have been unjust, and I have done evil deeds, and I acknowledge my sins, and evil of what I have done, so Forgive me, O my Master! Yes, O Benevolent! Yes, O Mighty! Yes, O Beautiful!’
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ وَ انْصَرَفْتَ رَفَعْتَ يَدَيْكَ ثُمَّ حَمِدْتَ رَبَّكَ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ مَا تَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلَّمْتَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَ حَمِدْتَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ.
When You-azwj are free and leave, raise your hands, then praise Your-azwj Lord-azwj, then say whatever you are able upon, and greet unto the Prophet-azwj, and praise Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!’’
8- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رَوَى أَبُو مِخْنَفٍ عَنْ جُنْدَبِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَزْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع كَانَ يَخْطُبُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ فَيَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ الظُّلُماتِ وَ النُّورَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ- لَا أُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئاً وَ لَا أَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيّاً
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – It is reported by Abu Mikhnaf, from Jundab Bin Abdullah Al Azdy, from his father,
‘Ali-asws was addressing on the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr. He-asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Created the skies and the earth, and Made the darkness and the Light; then (how come) those who are committing Kufr are setting up equals with their Lord [6:1]. I-asws do not associate anything with Allah-azwj nor do I-asws take any Guardian besides Him-azwj.
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ- يَعْلَمُ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ هُوَ الرَّحِيمُ الْغَفُورُ كَذَلِكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ- لَا أَمَدَ لَهُ وَ لَا غَايَةَ لَهُ وَ لَا نِهَايَةَ وَ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ
And The Praise is for Allah Who, for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth, and for him is the Praise in the Hereafter, and He is the Wise, the Aware [34:1] He Knows what enters into the earth and what comes out from it, and what descends from the sky and what ascends to it, and He is the Merciful, the Forgiving [34:2]. Like that is our Lord-azwj. There is neither any term for Him-azwj, nor peak for Him-azwj, nor end-point, and there is no god except He-azwj. To Him-azwj is the destination!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بِالنَّاسِ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَعْمِمْنَا بِعَافِيَتِكَ وَ أَمْدِدْنَا بِعِصْمَتِكَ وَ لَا تُخْلِنَا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His Permission? Surely Allah, with the people, is Kind, Merciful [22:65]. O Allah-azwj! Mercy us with Your-azwj Mercy, and Generalise us with Your-azwj well-being, and Provide us Your-azwj Protection, and do not Vacate us from Your-azwj Mercy! Surely You-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا مَقْنُوطاً مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مَخْلُوّاً مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مُؤْيَساً مِنْ رَوْحِهِ وَ لَا مُسْتَنْكَفاً عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ الَّذِي بِكَلِمَتِهِ قَامَتِ السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ وَ قَرَّتِ الْأَرَضُونَ السَّبْعُ وَ ثَبَتَتِ الْجِبَالُ الرَّوَاسِي وَ جَرَتِ الرِّيَاحُ اللَّوَاقِحُ وَ سَارَتْ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ السَّحَابُ وَ قَامَتْ عَلَى حُدُودِهَا الْبِحَارُ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj! There is no despondency from His-azwj Mercy, nor any vacating from His-azwj bounty, nor any despairing from His-azwj Mercy, nor disdain from worshipping Him-azwj. The One Who, by His-azwj Word Established the seven skies, and Settled the seven earths, and Affirmed the lofty mountains, and Flowed the fertilising winds, and Floated the clouds in atmosphere of the sky, and Established the oceans upon their limits!
فَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِلَهٌ قَاهِرٌ قَادِرٌ ذَلَّ لَهُ الْمُتَعَزِّزُونَ وَ تَضَاءَلَ لَهُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُونَ وَ دَانَ طَوْعاً وَ كُرْهاً لَهُ الْعَالَمُونَ
Blessed is Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds, a God-azwj Who is Able! The mighty are humiliated to Him-azwj and the arrogant are debased to Him-azwj, and the worlds submit to Him-azwj willingly and unwillingly!
نَحْمَدُهُ بِمَا حَمِدَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ وَ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ يَعْلَمُ مَا تُخْفِي النُّفُوسُ وَ مَا تُجِنُّ الْبِحَارُ وَ مَا تُوَارِي الْأَسْرَابُ وَ ما تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحامُ وَ ما تَزْدادُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ عِنْدَهُ بِمِقْدارٍ
We Praise him with what He-azwj has Praised Himself-azwj with, and just as He-azwj is rightful of; and we seek His-azwj Assistance and we seek His-azwj Forgiveness, and we testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! He-azwj Knows what the souls hide and what the oceans are shielding, and what the chests conceal, and what the wombs fall short of (completion) and what they increase; and all things are with a measure in His Presence [13:8].
لَا تَوَارَى مِنْهُ ظُلْمَةٌ وَ لَا تَغِيبُ عَنْهُ غَائِبَةٌ وَ ما تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُها وَ لا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لا رَطْبٍ وَ لا يابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا يَعْمَلُ الْعَامِلُونَ وَ إِلَى أَيِّ مُنْقَلَبٍ يَنْقَلِبُونَ وَ نَسْتَهْدِي اللَّهَ بِالْهُدَى وَ نَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنَ الضَّلَالِ وَ الرَّدَى
Neither is darkness concealed from Him-azwj nor is an absentee hidden from Him-azwj, and there does not fall a leaf except He Knows it, nor a seed in the darkness of the earth, nor any wet nor dry except it is in an apparent Book [6:59]; and He-azwj Knows what the workers work, and to which turning they are turning; and we seek Guidance of Allah-azwj for the guidance, and we seek Refuge with Him-azwj from the straying and the regress!
وَ نَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ نَبِيُّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً وَ أَمِينُهُ عَلَى وَحْيِهِ وَ أَنَّهُ بَلَّغَ رِسَالَةَ رَبِّهِ وَ جَاهَدَ فِي اللَّهِ الْمُدْبِرِينَ عَنْهُ وَ عَبَدَهُ حَتَّى أَتَاهُ الْيَقِينُ ص
And we testify that Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Prophet-saww, and His-azwj Rasool-saww to all the people, and His-azwj trustee upon His-azwj Revelation, and he-saww delivered the Message of his-saww Lord-azwj, and fought for the Sake of Allah-azwj the one who had turned away from Him-azwj, and he-saww worshipped Him-azwj until the certainty (death) came to him‑saww!
أُوصِيكُمْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا تَبْرَحُ مِنْهُ نِعْمَةٌ وَ لَا تُفْقَدُ لَهُ رَحْمَةٌ وَ لَا يَسْتَغْنِي عَنْهُ الْعِبَادُ وَ لَا تَجْزِي أَنْعُمَهُ الْأَعْمَالُ الَّذِي رَغَّبَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ زَهَّدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ حَذَّرَ الْمَعَاصِيَ
I advise you all, servants of Allah-azwj, with fearing Allah-azwj Who you do not depart from bounties, nor do you lost Mercy of His-azwj, nor are the servants needless of Him-azwj, nor can His-azwj bounties be recompensed by the deeds which are desirous regarding the Hereafter, and ascetic in the world, and being cautious of the acts of disobedience!
وَ تَعَزَّزَ بِالْبَقَاءِ وَ تَفَرَّدَ بِالْعِزِّ وَ الْبَهَاءِ وَ جَعَلَ الْمَوْتَ غَايَةَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ سَبِيلَ الْمَاضِينَ فَهُوَ مَعْقُودٌ بِنَوَاصِي الْخَلْقِ كُلِّهِمْ حَتْمٌ فِي رِقَابِهِمْ لَا يُعْجِزُهُ لُحُوقُ الْهَارِبِ وَ لَا يَفُوتُهُ نَاءٍ وَ لَا آئِبٌ يَهْدِمُ كُلَّ لَذَّةٍ وَ يُزِيلُ كُلَّ بَهْجَةٍ وَ يَقْشَعُ كُلَّ نِعْمَةٍ
And He-azwj is Strong with the remaining, and Individual with the Mighty and the Splendour, and He-azwj Made the death as an end-point of the created beings and way of the past ones. It is inevitably tied with the forelocks of the creatures, all of them, in their necks! It is not incapable of catching the fleer, neither a goer nor a comer can elude it. It demolished every pleasure, and removes every joy and uproots every bounty!
عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا دَارٌ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ لِأَهْلِهَا الْفَنَاءَ وَ قَدَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِهَا الْجَلَاءَ فَكُلُّ مَا فِيهَا نَافِدٌ وَ كُلُّ مَنْ يَسْلُكُهَا بَائِدٌ وَ هِيَ مَعَ ذَلِكَ حُلْوَةٌ خَضِرَةٌ رَائِقَةٌ نَضِرَةٌ قَدْ زُيِّنَتْ لِلطَّالِبِ وَ لَاطَتْ بِقَلْبِ الرَّاغِبِ يُطَيِّبُهَا الطَّامِعُ وَ يَحْتَوِيهَا الْوَجِلُ الْخَائِفُ
Servants of Allah-azwj! The world is a house Allah-azwj is Satisfied for its people for the annihilation, and He-azwj Determined with the departure upon them. Thus, all what is in it is to deplete and all the ones who traverse it will be distanced, and along that it is sweet, green, fragrant, fresh! It has been adorned for the seeker and it embraces the heart of the desirous. The greedy one finds it as good and the fearful takes it as a shelter.
فَارْتَحِلُوا رَحِمَكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهَا بِأَحْسَنِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ مِنَ الزَّادِ وَ لَا تَطْلُبُوا مِنْهَا سِوَى الْبُلْغَةِ وَ كُونُوا فِيهَا كَسَفْرٍ نَزَلُوا مَنْزِلًا فَتَمَتَّعُوا مِنْهُ بِأَدْنَى ظِلٍّ ثُمَّ ارْتَحَلُوا لِشَأْنِهِمْ-
May Allah-azwj Mercy you all! Depart from it with most excellent of what provisions there are in your presence, and do not seek from it apart from the sufficient, and be in it like travellers having descended at a pausing stop for rest. So, they enjoy from it with the least shade, then they depart for their destinations!
وَ لَا تَمُدُّوا أَعْيُنَكُمْ فِيهَا إِلَى مَا مُتِّعَ بِهِ الْمُتْرَفُونَ وَ أَضِرُّوا فِيهَا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ أَخَفُّ لِلْحِسَابِ وَ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ النَّجَاةِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ تَنَكَّرَتْ وَ أَدْبَرَتْ وَ آذَنَتْ بِوَدَاعٍ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْآخِرَةَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَتْ وَ أَشْرَفَتْ وَ نَادَتْ بِاطِّلَاعٍ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الْمِضْمَارَ الْيَوْمَ وَ غَداً السِّبَاقُ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ السُّبْقَةَ الْجَنَّةُ وَ الْغَايَةَ النَّارُ
And do not extend your necks in it to what the extravagant and enjoying with and harming yourselves in it, for that will be lightest for the Reckoning, and closest from the salvation! Indeed, and the world is disguising itself and is turning around and has proclaimed the farewell! Indeed, and the Hereafter is coming forwards and is overlooking, and is calling out with the emergence! Indeed, and the racecourse is today and tomorrow is the winning! Indeed, and the win is the Paradise and the ultimate failure is the Hellfire!
أَ فَلَا تَائِبٌ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِهِ قَبْلَ هُجُومِ مَنِيَّتِهِ أَ وَ لَا عَامِلٌ لِنَفْسِهِ قَبْلَ يَوْمِ فَقْرِهِ وَ بُؤْسِهِ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِمَّنْ يَخَافُهُ وَ يَرْجُو ثَوَابَهُ
Is there no repentant from his sins before onslaught of his death, or is there no one to work for himself before the day of his poverty and his destitution? May Allah-azwj Make us and you all from the ones fearing Him-azwj and hoping for His-azwj Rewards!
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمٌ جَعَلَهُ اللَّهُ عِيداً وَ جَعَلَكُمْ لَهُ أَهْلًا فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ يَذْكُرْكُمْ وَ كَبِّرُوهُ وَ عَظِّمُوهُ وَ سَبِّحُوهُ وَ مَجِّدُوهُ وَ ادْعُوهُ يَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوهُ يَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ وَ تَضَرَّعُوا وَ ابْتَهِلُوا وَ تُوبُوا وَ أَنِيبُوا
Indeed, and this day is a day Allah-azwj has Made it an Eid (festival), and Made you all as rightful for it, therefore mention Allah-azwj, He-azwj will Mention you, and exclaim His-azwj Greatness, and revere Him-azwj, and glorify Him, and praise Him-azwj, and supplicate to Him-azwj, He-azwj will Respond to you, and seek His-azwj Forgiveness, He-azwj will Forgive you, and beseech, and plead, and repent, and be penitent!
وَ أَدُّوا فِطْرَتَكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا سُنَّةُ نَبِيِّكُمْ وَ فَرِيضَةٌ وَاجِبَةٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ فَلْيُخْرِجْهَا كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْكُمْ عَنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ عَنْ عِيَالِهِ كُلِّهِمْ ذَكَرِهِمْ وَ أُنْثَاهُمْ صَغِيرِهِمْ وَ كَبِيرِهِمْ وَ حُرِّهِمْ وَ مَمْلُوكِهِمْ يُخْرِجُ عَنْ كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ صَاعاً مِنْ شَعِيرٍ أَوْ صَاعاً مِنْ تَمْرٍ أَوْ نِصْفَ صَاعٍ مِنْ بُرٍّ- مِنْ طِيبِ كَسْبِهِ طَيِّبَةً بِذَلِكَ نَفْسُهُ
And pay your Fitra (Zakat) for it is a Sunnah of Your-azwj Prophet-saww and an obligatory Imposition from Your-azwj Lord-azwj! Let every person from you extract it for himself, and on behalf of his dependants, all of them, their males and their females, their young and their old, and their free and their slaves. Each one of them should extract a Sa’a (3.24kg) of barley, or Sa’a of dates, of half a Sa’a of wheat, from his goodly earning, making his soul good with that.
عِبَادَ اللَّهِ وَ تَعاوَنُوا عَلَى الْبِرِّ وَ التَّقْوى وَ تَرَاحَمُوا وَ تَعَاطَفُوا وَ أَدُّوا فَرَائِضَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيمَا أَمَرَكُمْ بِهِ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ وَ أَدَاءِ الزَّكَوَاتِ وَ صِيَامِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ حَجِّ الْبَيْتِ الْحَرَامِ وَ الْأَمْرِ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ النَّهْيِ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ
Servants of Allah-azwj, and assist each other upon the righteous acts and the piety, and be merciful and compassionate to each other, and fulfil Obligations of Allah-azwj upon you, regarding what He-azwj has Commanded you with, from establishing the Prescribed Salat(s), and paying the Zakat, and fasting the month of Ramazan, and Hajj of the Sacred House, and enjoining the acts of kindness and forbidding from the evil, and being good to your womenfolk, and whatever your right hands possess!
وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِيمَا نَهَاكُمْ عَنْهُ وَ أَطِيعُوهُ فِي اجْتِنَابِ قَذْفِ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ وَ إِتْيَانِ الْفَوَاحِشِ وَ شُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ وَ بَخْسِ الْمِكْيَالِ وَ نَقْصِ الْمِيزَانِ وَ شَهَادَةِ الزُّورِ وَ الْفِرَارِ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ
And fear Allah-azwj regarding what He-azwj has Prohibited you from, and obey Him-azwj in shunning slandering the married women, and committing immoralities, and drinking the wine, and underestimating the measures, and being deficient in the scale, and the false testimony, and the fleeing from the battle march!
عَصَمَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ بِالتَّقْوَى وَ جَعَلَ الْآخِرَةَ خَيْراً لَنَا وَ لَكُمْ مِنْ هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ وَ أَبْلَغَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى
May Allah-azwj Protect us and you all with the piety, and Make the Hereafter better for us and for you all than this world. The most excellent Hadeeth and the most eloquent of the preaching is the Speech of Allah-azwj the Exalted!
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ إِلَى آخِرِهَا
I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj from the Pelted Satan-la! In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! Say: ‘He, Allah, is One [112:1] (Surah Al-Tawheed)’ – up to its end.
ثُمَّ جَلَسَ وَ قَامَ وَ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيهِ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ نَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ وَ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شُرُورِ أَنْفُسِنَا وَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ أَعْمَالِنَا-
Then he-asws sat down, and stood up and said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! We praise Him-azwj, and we seek His-azwj Assistance, and we seek His-azwj Forgiveness, and we seek His-azwj Guidance, and we believe in Him-azwj, and we rely upon Him-azwj, and we seek refuge with Allah‑azwj from evil of ourselves, and from evil deeds of our works!
مَنْ يَهْدِ اللَّهُ فَهُوَ الْمُهْتَدِ وَ مَنْ يُضْلِلْ فَلَنْ تَجِدَ لَهُ وَلِيًّا مُرْشِداً وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ ذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْخُطْبَةِ الْقَصِيرَةِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
One whom Allah Guides, so he is the rightly Guided, and one who He Lets to stray, so you will never find there being a guardian (or) a guide for him [18:17]; and I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad‑saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww’ – and he mentioned remained of the short sermon during the day of Friday’’.[12]
توضيح وَ فِي نَهْجِ الْبَلَاغَةِ هَكَذَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ غَيْرَ مَقْنُوطٍ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مَخْلُوٍّ مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مَأْيُوسٍ مِنْ مَغْفِرَتِهِ وَ لَا مُسْتَنْكِفٍ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ الَّذِي لَا تَبْرَحُ مِنْهُ رَحْمَةٌ وَ لَا تُفْقَدُ لَهُ نِعْمَةٌ.
Clarification (Ahadeeth only) – And in (the book) ‘Nahj Al-Balagah’ it is like this: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj there is no despair from His-azwj Mercy, nor is there any deprivation from His‑azwj Favours, nor is there any despair from His-azwj Forgiveness, nor any disapproval from worshipping Him-azwj which there is neither any termination of Mercy from Him-azwj nor any missing out from a Favour of His-azwj’’.
وَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ هَكَذَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا مَقْنُوطٌ مِنْ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مَخْلُوٌّ مِنْ نِعْمَتِهِ وَ لَا مُؤْيَسٌ مِنْ رَوْحِهِ وَ لَا مُسْتَنْكِفٌ عَنْ عِبَادَتِهِ.
And in (the book) ‘Al Faqeeh’ it is like this: ‘And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who, there is neither despondency from His-azwj Mercy nor any vacating from His-azwj bounties, nor despair from His-azwj Comfort, nor disdain from worshipping Him-azwj!’’
وَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ بِأَحْسَنِ مَا بِحَضْرَتِكُمْ وَ لَا تَطْلُبُوا مِنْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْقَلِيلِ وَ لَا تَسْأَلُوا مِنْهَا فَوْقَ الْكَفَافِ وَ ارْضَوْا مِنْهَا بِالْيَسِيرِ وَ لَا تَمُدُّنَّ أَعْيُنَكُمْ مِنْهَا إِلَى مَا مُتِّعَ الْمُتْرَفُونَ بِهِ وَ اسْتَهِينُوا بِهَا وَ لَا تُوَطِّنُوهَا وَ أَضِرُّوا بِأَنْفُسِكُمْ فِيهَا وَ إِيَّاكُمْ وَ التَّنَعُّمَ وَ التَّلَهِّيَ وَ الْفَاكِهَاتِ
And in (the book) ‘Al-Faqeeh’ – ‘With the most excellent of what is in your presence, and do not seek from it more than the little, and do not ask from it above the sufficient, and be satisfied from it with the little, and do not extend your necks from it to what the extravagant ones are enjoying with, and take lightly with it, and do not make it your homeland and harm yourselves in it, and beware of indulgence, and the distraction, and the excessive enjoyment!’
وَ فِي بَعْضِ النُّسَخِ وَ الْفُكَاهَاتِ فَإِنَّ فِي ذَلِكَ غَفْلَةً وَ اغْتِرَاراً أَلَا إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا.
And in one of the copies: ‘And the amusements, for there is heedlessness in that and deception. Indeed, the world’’
وَ فِي النَّهْجِ وَ لَا تَسْأَلُوا فِيهَا فَوْقَ الْكَفَافِ وَ لَا تَطْلُبُوا مِنْهَا أَكْثَرَ مِنَ الْبَلَاغِ.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Nahj’ – ‘And do not ask in it above the sufficient, and do not seek from it more than the sufficient (the necessity)’’.
في النهج أما بعد فإن الدنيا قد أدبرت و آذنت بوداع و إن الآخرة قد أقبلت و أشرفت باطلاع.
In (the book) ‘Al-Nahj’ – ‘As for after, the world is turning around and has proclaimed the farewell, while the Hereafter is coming forward and is being sudden with the notification’’.
و في الفقيه ألا إن الدنيا قد تنكرت و أدبرت و احلولت و في بعض النسخ و احلوت و آذنت بوداع ألا و إن الآخرة قد رحلت فأقبلت و أشرفت و آذنت باطلاع.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Faqeeh’ – ‘Indeed, the world is disguising itself, and turning back and around’. And in one of the copies, ‘And is turning around and has proclaimed with the farewell. Indeed, and the Hereafter has departed and is coming forwards, and it emerging and has proclaimed with the notification’’.
قَالَ ع لَيْسَ بَيْنَ أَحَدِكُمْ وَ بَيْنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّارِ إِلَّا الْمَوْتُ.
He-asws said: ‘There isn’t anything between one of you and the Paradise, except the death’’.

سُبْحَانَكَ لَمْ تَزَلْ عَالِماً كَامِلًا أَوَّلًا آخِراً بَاطِناً ظَاهِراً مَلِكاً عَظِيماً أَزَلِيّاً قَدِيماً عَزِيزاً حَكِيماً رَءُوفاً رَحِيماً جَوَاداً كَرِيماً وَاسِعاً سَمِيعاً بَصِيراً لَطِيفاً خَبِيراً عَلِيّاً كَبِيراً عَلِيماً قَدِيراً-
Glory be to You-azwj! You-azwj did not cease to be the Perfect Knower, First, Last, Hidden, Apparent, King, Magnificent, Eternal, Ancient, Mighty, Wise, Kind, Merciful, Generous, Benevolent, Capacious, Hearing, Seeing, Compassionate, Informed, Exalted, Great, All-Knowing, Able!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
There is no god except You-azwj! Glory be to You-azwj, and Exalted are You-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and I repent to You-azwj, and You-azwj are the Oft-turning (with Mercy)!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ بِحَقِيقَةِ إِيمَانِي وَ عَقْدِ عَزَائِمِي وَ إِيقَانِي وَ حَقَائِقِ ظُنُونِي وَ مَجَارِي سُيُولِ مَدَامِعِي وَ مَسَاغِ مَطْعَمِي وَ لَذَّةِ مَشْرَبِي وَ مَشَامِي وَ لَفْظِي وَ قِيَامِي وَ قُعُودِي وَ مَنَامِي وَ رُكُوعِي وَ سُجُودِي وَ بَشَرِي وَ عَصَبِي وَ قَصَبِي وَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ مُخِّي وَ عِظَامِي وَ مَا احْتَوَتْ عَلَيْهِ شَرَاسِيفُ أَضْلَاعِي وَ مَا أَطْبَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ شَفَتَايَ وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ قَدَمِي
O Allah-azwj! I testify by reality of my Eman, and the firmness of my determination, and my certainty, and realities of my thoughts, and flow of my tears, and occupation of my food, and delight of my drink, and my tastes, and my words, and my standing, and my sitting, and my sleep, and my bowing, and my prostration, and my skin, and my nerves, and my bones, and what my ribs enclose, and what my lips cover, and what the earth carries beneath my feet!
إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً أَحَداً فَرْداً لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ وَ كَيْفَ لَا أَشْهَدُ لَكَ بِذَلِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي بَشَراً سَوِيّاً وَ لَمْ أَكُنْ شَيْئاً مَذْكُوراً
Surely, You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj Alone! There is no associate for You-azwj, One God-azwj, First, Individual, neither having taken a female companion nor a son, and not begotten, not begetting, and no one is a match for Him-azwj, and how can I not testify for You-azwj with that, O my Chief and my Master, and You-azwj Created me as a well-proportioned ‘بَشَراً’ person and I did not exist as anything worthy of mention!
وَ كُنْتَ يَا مَوْلَايَ عَنْ خَلْقِي غَنِيّاً وَ رَبَّيْتَنِي طِفْلًا صَغِيراً وَ هَدَيْتَنِي لِلْإِسْلَامِ كَبِيراً وَ لَوْ لَا رَحْمَتُكَ إِيَّايَ لَكُنْتُ مِنَ الْهَالِكِينَ
O my Master, and You-azwj were needless of creating me, and You-azwj Nourished me when young and Guided me to Al-Islam when old, and had it not been for Your-azwj being Merciful to me I would have been from the destroyed ones!
نَعَمْ فَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ مَنْ قَالَهَا سَعِدَ وَ عَزَّ وَ مَنِ اسْتَكْبَرَ عَنْهَا شَقِيَ وَ ذَلَّ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ كَلِمَةٌ خَفِيفَةٌ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ ثَقِيلَةٌ فِي الْمِيزَانِ بِهَا رِضَى الرَّحْمَنِ وَ سَخَطُ الشَّيْطَانِ
Yes, so there is no god except Allah-azwj, being a truthful word. One who says it is fortunate and honourable, and one who denies it is wretched and humiliated, and there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, being a word light upon the tongues, heavy upon the scale. The Beneficent is Satisfied by it and the Satan is annoyed!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ أَضْعَافَ مَا حَمِدَهُ جَمِيعُ خَلْقِهِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ كَمَا يُحِبُّ رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ يَرْضَى أَنْ يُحْمَدَ وَ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِ رَبِّنَا وَ عِزِّ جَلَالِهِ وَ عِظَمِ رُبُوبِيَّتِهِ وَ مِدَادِ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ

I am getting destroyed so Rescue me by the right of Your-azwj rights, all of them, O Benevolent!
يَا رَبِّ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ- عَبْدِكَ شَدِيدِ حَيَائِهِ مِنْ تَعَرُّضِهِ لِرَحْمَتِكَ لِإِصْرَارِهِ عَلَى مَا نَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ الْعَظِيمِ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ

مَا أَتَيْتُ بِهِ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُكَ قَدْ شَمِتَ بِي فِيهِ الْقَرِيبُ وَ الْبَعِيدُ وَ أَسْلَمَنِي فِيهِ الْعَدُوُّ وَ الْحَبِيبُ وَ أَلْقَيْتُ بِيَدِي إِلَيْكَ طَمَعاً لِأَمْرٍ وَاحِدٍ وَ طَمَعِي ذَلِكَ فِي رَحْمَتِكَ فَارْحَمْنِي يَا ذَا الرَّحْمَةِ الْوَاسِعَةِ وَ تَلَافَنِي بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ

So, Mercy me, O with the vast Mercy, and Rescue me with the Forgiveness from the sins!
إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزِّ ذَلِكَ الِاسْمِ الَّذِي مَلَأَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ دُونَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ- وَ أَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي بِاسْتِجَارَتِي بِكَ إِلَيْكَ بِاسْمِكَ هَذَا يَا رَحِيمُ أَتَيْتُ هَذَا الْمُصَلَّى تَائِباً مِمَّا اقْتَرَفْتُ فَاغْفِرْ لِي تَبِعَتَهُ وَ عَافِنِي مِنِ اتِّبَاعِهِ بَعْدَ مَقَامِي يَا كَرِيمُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْحَالِّ فِي غِنَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتَقِرُ ذَاكِرُهُ أَبَداً أَنْ تُعِيذَنِي مِنْ لُزُومِ فَقْرٍ أَنْسَى بِهِ الدِّينَ أَوْ بِسُوءِ غِنًى أَفْتَتِنُ بِهِ عَنِ الطَّاعَةِ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, for the situation in Your-azwj richness which its mentioner does not become impoverished ever, to Shelter me from constraints of poverty which make one forget the religion, or with evil of richness by which I would be tempted with away from the obedience!
بِحَقِّ نُورِ أَسْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا أَطْلُبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ مَا تُوَسِّعُ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ تَكُفَّنِي بِهِ عَنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ تَعْصِمُنِي فِي دِينِي لَا أَجِدُ لِي غَيْرَكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْأَرْزَاقِ عِنْدَكَ فَانْفَعْنِي مِنْ قُدْرَتِكَ بِي فِيهَا بِمَا يَنْزِعُ مَا نَزَلَ بِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ يَا غَنِيُّ يَا قَوِيُّ يَا مَتِينُ يَا مُمْتَنّاً عَلَى أَهْلِ الصَّبْرِ بِالدَّعَةِ الَّتِي أَدْخَلْتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ بِطَاعَتِكَ-

أَنْتَ مَالِكِي فَأَغْنِنِي وَ اجْبُرْ مُصِيبَتِي بِجَلَاءِ كَرْبِهَا وَ إِدْخَالِكَ الصَّبْرَ عَلَيَّ فِيهَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ حُلْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ هَلَكْتُ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لِي يَا ذَا الِاسْمِ الْجَامِعِ الَّذِي فِيهِ عَظُمَ الشُّئُونُ كُلُّهَا بِحَقِّكَ يَا سَيِّدِي صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَغْنِنِي بِأَنْ تُفَرِّجَ عَنِّي يَا كَرِيمُ.

2- الْإِقْبَالُ، أَخْبَرَنَا جَمَاعَةٌ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا بَعْضَ أَسْمَائِهِمْ فِي الْجُزْءِ الْأَوَّلِ مِنَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ بِطُرُقِهِمُ الْمَرْضِيَّاتِ إِلَى الْمَشَايِخِ الْمُعَظَّمِينَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ وَ غَيْرِهِمْ بِإِسْنَادِهِمْ جَمِيعاً إِلَى سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ فَضْلِ الدُّعَاءِ الْمُتَّفَقِ عَلَى ثِقَتِهِ وَ فَضْلِهِ وَ عَدَالَتِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ فِيهِ إِلَى
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – We are informed by a group, we have mentioned some of their names in the first volume from the important ones by their satisfactory paths to the revered elders, Muhammad Bin Muhammad Bin Al Numan and Al Husayn Bin Ubeydullah, and Ja’far Bin Qawlawiyah, and Abu Ja’far Al Tusi and other by their entire chains to Sa’ad Bin Abdullah from the book ‘Fazl Al Dua’, there is consensus upon its reliability and its merit and its fairness, by his chain in it to,
أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: صَلَاةُ الْعِيدَيْنِ تُكَبِّرُ فِيهِمَا اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ تَكْبِيرَةً سَبْعَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ فِي الْأُولَى وَ خَمْسَ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ
‘Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘Salat of the two Eid(s), you should exclaim Takbeer in these, twelve exclamation, seven exclamations in the first (Cycle) and five Takbeers in the second.
تُكَبِّرُ بِاسْتِفْتَاحِ الصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ الْحَمْدَ وَ سُورَةَ سَبِّحِ اسْمَ رَبِّكَ الْأَعْلَى ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ فَتَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَهْلَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْجَلَالِ وَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ السُّلْطَانِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ
You should exclaim Takbeer at beginning of the Salat, the recite Surah Al Hamd and Surah Al A’ala, then exclaim Takbeer saying, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest, rightful of the Greatness and the Magnificent, and the Majesty, and the Power, and the Authority, and the Might, and the Forgiveness, and the Mercy!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَوَّلُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ آخِرُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ بَدِيعُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ وَ عَالِمُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ مُدَبِّرُ الْأُمُورِ بَاعِثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ قَابِلُ الْأَعْمَالِ مُبْدِئُ الْخَفِيَّاتِ مُعْلِنُ السَّرَائِرِ وَ مُصَيِّرُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مَرَدُّهُ إِلَيْهِ
Allah-azwj is Greatness! First of all things, and last of all things, and Initiator of every thing and its ultimate, and Knower of every thing and its ultimate! Allah-azwj is Greatest, Manager of the affairs, Resurrector from the graves, Accepter of the deeds, Manifester of the hidden matters, Announcer of the secrets, and Destination of every thing and return of it!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَظِيمُ الْمَلَكُوتِ شَدِيدُ الْجَبَرُوتِ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ دَائِمٌ لَا يَزُولُ- إِذا قَضى أَمْراً فَإِنَّما يَقُولُ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ
Allah-azwj is Greatest, Mighty of the Domains, Intense of the force, Living, not dying! Allah-azwj is Greatest, permanent, not to decline, whenever He-azwj Decrees a matter, rather He-azwj Says to it: “Be!” So, it comes into being.
ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ وَ تَرْكَعُ وَ تَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ فَذَلِكَ سَبْعُ تَكْبِيرَاتٍ أَوَّلُهَا اسْتِفْتَاحُ الصَّلَاةِ وَ آخِرُهَا تَكْبِيرَةُ الرُّكُوعِ وَ تَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِكَ خَشَعَ قَلْبِي وَ سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنِّي لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ
Then exclaim Takbeer and perform Ruk’u and Sajdah, two prostrations. So that is seven Takbeers, their first being beginning the Salat and their last is Takbeer of the Ruk’u, and you should be saying in your Ruk’u, ‘I have humbled my heart, and my hearing, and my sight, and my hair, and my skin, and whatever the earth carries from me, for the Sake of Allah-azwj Lord‑azwj of the worlds! Glory be to my Lord-azwj the Magnificent and with His-azwj Praise’ – seven times.
فَإِنْ أَحْبَبْتَ أَنْ تَزِيدَ فَرُدَّ مَا شِئْتَ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ مِنَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ تَعْتَدِلُ وَ تُقِيمُ صُلْبَكَ وَ تَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ الْحَوْلُ وَ الْعَظَمَةُ وَ الْقُوَّةُ وَ الْعِزَّةُ وَ السُّلْطَانُ وَ الْمُلْكُ وَ الْجَبَرُوتُ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ ما سَكَنَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهارِ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ-
If you like to increase, then repeat for as long as you desire to, then raise your head from the Ruk’u and even them and straighten your back and say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, and the Might, and the Magnificence, and the Strength, and the Honour, and the Authority, and the Kingdom, and the Force, and the Greatness, and what dwells in the night and the day, for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, there being no associate for Him-azwj!’
ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ- سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي الْفَانِي الْخَاطِئُ الْمُذْنِبُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمِ الْعَزِيزِ الْحَكِيمِ غَيْرَ مُسْتَنْكِفٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَحْسِرٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَعْظِمٍ وَ لَا مُتَجَبِّرٍ بَلْ بَائِسٌ فَقِيرٌ خَائِفٌ مُسْتَجِيرٌ عَبْدٌ ذَلِيلٌ مَهِينٌ حَقِيرٌ سُبْحَانَكَ وَ بِحَمْدِكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ-
Then prostrate and say in your Sajdah, ‘I am prostrating my decaying face, the perishing, the wrongdoer, the sinner, to Your-azwj Face, the remaining, the permanent, the Mighty, the Wise, neither being arrogant, nor disdainful, nor mighty, nor haughty, but as a destitute, poor, fearful seeking shelter, a humble slave, weak, insignificant! Glory be to You-azwj and with Your‑azwj Praise, I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness and repent to You-azwj!’
ثُمَّ تُسَبِّحُ وَ تَرْفَعُ رَأْسَكَ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ بِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مَعَهُمْ وَ فِيهِمْ وَ فِي زُمْرَتِهِمْ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ-
The glorify and raise your head and say, ‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, and Ali-asws, and (Syeda) Fatima-asws, and Al-Hassan-asws, and Al-Husayn-asws, and the Imams-asws, and Forgive me and Mercy me, and do not Cut me off from Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of the Muhammad-saww, in the world and the Hereafter, and Make me to be with them-asws, and among them-asws, and in their-asws group, and from the ones of Proximity, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!’
ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ الثَّانِيَةَ وَ تَقُولُ مِثْلَ الَّذِي قُلْتَ فِي الْأُولَى فَإِذَا نَهَضْتَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ تَقُولُ- بَرِئْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ- لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ-
Then perform the second Sajdah and say similar to which you had said in the first. When you get up in the second (Cycle), say, ‘I have vindicated before Allah-azwj of power and strength, there being neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ خَشَعَتْ لَكَ يَا رَبِّ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ عَنَتْ لَكَ الْوُجُوهُ وَ حَارَتْ مِنْ دُونِكَ الْأَبْصَارُ
Then recite Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al Shams, then exclaim Takbeer and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! The voices are humbled to You-azwj O Lord-azwj, and the faces are inclining to You-azwj, and the sights are bewildered from below You-azwj!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَلَّتِ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ صِفَةِ عَظَمَتِكَ وَ النَّوَاصِي كُلُّهَا بِيَدِكَ وَ مَقَادِيرُ الْأُمُورِ كُلُّهَا إِلَيْكَ- لَا يَقْضِي فِيهَا غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا يَتِمُّ شَيْءٌ مِنْهَا دُونَكَ
Allah-azwj is Greatest! The tongues are lacking from describing Your-azwj Magnificence, and all the forelocks are in Your-azwj Hand, and the reins of all the affairs are up to You-azwj! Neither can anyone decree in it apart from You-azwj, nor can anything from these complete besides you-azwj!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عِلْمُكَ وَ قَهَرَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِزُّكَ وَ نَفَذَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَمْرُكَ وَ قَامَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ بِكَ
Allah-azwj is Greatest! Your-azwj Knowledge Encompasses all things, and Your-azwj Might Subdues all things, and Your-azwj Command Implements all things, and all things stand by You-azwj!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ تَوَاضَعَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِعَظَمَتِكَ وَ ذَلَّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِعِزِّكَ وَ اسْتَسْلَمَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ خَضَعَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ لِمُلْكِكَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ-
Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj things humble to Your-azwj Magnificence, and all things are humble to Your-azwj Might, and all things submit to Your-azwj Power, and all things humble to Your-azwj Kingdom! Allah-azwj is Greatest!’
ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ وَ تَقُولُ وَ أَنْتَ رَاكِعٌ مِثْلَ مَا قُلْتَ فِي رُكُوعِكَ الْأَوَّلِ وَ كَذَلِكَ فِي السُّجُودِ وَ مَا قُلْتَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى ثُمَّ تَتَشَهَّدُ بِمَا تَتَشَهَّدُ بِهِ فِي سَائِرِ الصَّلَوَاتِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ دَعَوْتَ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ لِلدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا.
Then exclaim Takbeer and say while you are performing Ruk’u, similar to what you said in your first Ruk’u, and like that in the Sajdah and what you said in the first Cycle. Then perform Tashahhud with it in rest of the Salat(s). When you are free, supplicate with whatever you like, for the religion and the world!’’[14]
بيان: أَقُولُ ثُمَّ قَالَ السَّيِّدُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَ مِنْ غَيْرِ هَذِهِ الرِّوَايَةِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ عِيدِ الْأَضْحَى فَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘Then the Seyyid, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, said, ‘And from other than this report (in Al-Iqbal): ‘When you are free from Salat of Eid Al Azha, supplicate with this supplication: –
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً وَ نَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ-
‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Forbearing, the Benevolent! There is no god except the Exalted, the Magnificent! There is no god except Allah-azwj, One God-azwj, and we are submitting to Him-azwj!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَا نَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ وَ لَوْ كَرِهَ الْكَافِرُونَ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ رَبُّنَا وَ رَبُّ آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ أَعَزَّ جُنْدَهُ وَ هَزَمَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ
There is no god except Allah-azwj! We do not worship except Him-azwj, and even though the Kafirs may be averse! There is no god except Allah-azwj our Lord-azwj and Lord-azwj of our fathers, the former ones! There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, Alone! He-azwj Accomplishes His-azwj Promise, and Helps His-azwj servant, and Strengthens His-azwj army, and Defeats the confederates Alone!

قَدْ أَكْدَى الطَّلَبُ وَ أَعْيَتِ الْحِيَلُ إِلَّا عِنْدَكَ وَ سُدَّتِ الْمَذَاهِبُ وَ ضَاقَتِ الطُّرُقُ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ وَ خَابَتِ الثِّقَةُ وَ اخْتُلِفَ الظَّنُّ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ تَصَرَّمَتِ الْأَشْيَاءُ وَ كَذَبَتِ الْعِدَاتُ إِلَّا عِدَتَكَ
The seeking is futile, and the means are failing except with You-azwj, and the paths are blocked and the roads are narrowed except to You-azwj, and the confidence is disappointed, and the thoughts have differed except with You-azwj and the things have become difficult, and the norms have been belied except Your-azwj Norms!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنِّي أَجِدُ سُبُلَ الْمَطَالِبِ إِلَيْكَ مُشْرَعَةً وَ مَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاءِ إِلَيْكَ مُتْرَعَةً وَ الِاسْتِعَانَةَ بِفَضْلِكَ لِمَنِ ائْتَمَّ بِكَ مُبَاحَةً وَ أَبْوَابَ الدُّعَاءِ لِمَنْ دَعَاكَ مُفَتَّحَةً
O Allah-azwj, I find the paths of aspirations to You-azwj open, and the springs of hope towards You-azwj abundant. Seeking help through Your-azwj Grace is permissible for the one who seeks refuge in You-azwj, and the doors of supplication are open for the one who calls upon You-azwj!
وَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لِدَاعِيكَ بِمَوْضِعِ إِجَابَةٍ وَ لِلصَّارِخِ إِلَيْكَ بِمَرْصَدِ إِغَاثَةٍ وَ أَنَّ الْقَاصِدَ إِلَيْكَ قَرِيبُ الْمَسَافَةِ وَ مُنَاجَاةَ الرَّاحِلِ إِلَيْكَ غَيْرُ مَحْجُوبَةٍ عَنْ أَسْمَاعِكَ وَ أَنَّ اللَّهْفَ إِلَى جُودِكَ وَ الرِّضَا بِعِدَتِكَ وَ الِاسْتِغَاثَةَ بِفَضْلِكَ عِوَضٌ عَنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِينَ وَ خَلَفٌ مِنْ خَتْلِ الْمُوَارِبِينَ
And I know that You-azwj are in a position to answer the supplicant, and for the one who cries out to You-azwj, there is a station of rescue. I know that the one who seeks You-azwj is close in proximity, and the one who privately confides in You-azwj is not hidden from Your-azwj Hearing. The yearning for Your-azwj Generosity, contentment with Your-azwj Decree, and seeking help through Your-azwj Grace are alternatives to the deprivation of the miserly and a refuge for those facing difficulties!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنِّي أَقْصِدُكَ بِطَلِبَتِي وَ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَسْأَلَتِي وَ أُحْضِرُكَ رَغْبَتِي وَ أَجْعَلُ بِكَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي وَ بِدُعَائِكَ تَحَرُّمِي مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ مِنِّي لِاسْتِمَاعِكَ-
O Allah-azwj, I direct my request to You-azwj, and I turn to You-azwj with my plea. I present to You‑azwj my desire, and I make seeking Your-azwj help my refuge. Through Your-azwj supplication, I seek sanctity without it being deserving from me, for the sake of being heard by You-azwj!
لَا اسْتِيجَابٍ لِإِجَابَتِكَ عَنْ بَسْطِ يَدٍ إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ أَوْ قَبْضِ يَدٍ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ لَا اتَّعَاظٍ مِنِّي لِزَجْرِكَ وَ لَا إِحْجَامٍ عَنْ نَهْيِكَ إِلَّا لَجْأً إِلَى تَوْحِيدِكَ وَ مَعْرِفَتِكَ بِمَعْرِفَتِي أَنْ لَا رَبَّ لِي غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ وَ لَا اسْتِعَانَةَ إِلَّا بِكَ إِذْ تَقُولُ يَا إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ لِمُسْرِفِي عِبَادِكَ- لا تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
There is no response to Your-azwj Response except by extending my hand in obedience to You‑azwj, or retracting my hand from Your-azwj disobedience. I do not resist Your-azwj Reprimand, nor do I refrain from Your-azwj Prohibition, except by resorting to Your-azwj Oneness and recognising that I have no lord other than You-azwj, and there is no power and no aid except through You-azwj, when You-azwj, O my God-azwj, and my Chief, and my Master, Said to Your-azwj extravagant servants: ‘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 تَقُولَ لَهُمْ إِفْهَاماً وَ مَوْعِظَةً وَ تَكْرَاراً- وَ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَارْحَمْنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ اكْشِفْ ضُرِّي وَ نَحِيبِي إِلَيْكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
And You-azwj Said to them to Make them understand, and as Preaching, and Reiteration: and who Forgives the sins except Allah? [3:135]. So, Mercy us with Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and Remove my harm and my wailing to You-azwj, surely You-azwj are the All-knowing, the All-Knowing!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبِّ تَكْذِيباً لِمَنْ أَشْرَكَ بِكَ وَ رَدّاً عَلَى مَنْ جَعَلَ الْحَمْدَ لِغَيْرِكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً بَلْ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
O Allah-azwj, O Lord-azwj, belying to the one who associates with You-azwj, and rebuttal upon the one who makes the praise for others! Blessed are You-azwj and Exalted, Lofty, Great! But, You‑azwj are Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, Lord-azwj of the worlds! You-azwj are Allah-azwj the Mighty, the Wise. You-azwj are Allah-azwj, the All-Knowing, the Forbearing! You-azwj are Allah-azwj the Forgiving, the Merciful!
أَنْتَ اللَّهُ مَلِكُ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ خَالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ إِلَيْكَ يَعُودُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ عَالِمُ السِّرِّ وَ أَخْفَى-
You-azwj are Allah-azwj, King of the Day of religion (Qiyamah)! You-azwj are Allah-azwj Creator of all things, and to You-azwj is the return! You-azwj are Allah-azwj Who there is no god except You-azwj! You-azwj are Allah-azwj the Creator, Knower of the secrets and hidden matters!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الْفَرْدُ الصَّمَدُ لَمْ تَلِدْ وَ لَمْ تُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
There is no god except You-azwj the One, the First, the Individual, the Solid! You-azwj do not beget and were not begotten, and no one is a match for You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ حَيٌّ لَا تَمُوتُ وَ خَالِقٌ لَا تُغْلَبُ وَ بَصِيرٌ لَا تَرْتَابُ وَ سَمِيعٌ لَا تَشُكُّ وَ صَادِقٌ لَا تَكْذِبُ وَ قَاهِرٌ لَا تُقْهَرُ وَ بَدِيءٌ لَا تَتَغَيَّرُ وَ قَرِيبٌ لَا تَبْعُدُ وَ قَادِرٌ لَا تُضَادُّ وَ غَافِرٌ لَا تَظْلِمُ وَ صَمَدٌ لَا تُطْعَمُ وَ قَيُّومٌ لَا تَنَامُ وَ مُجِيبٌ لَا تَسْأَمُ وَ جَبَّارٌ لَا تَكَلَّمُ وَ عَظِيمٌ لَا تُرَامُ وَ عَالِمٌ لَا تُعَلَّمُ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Living and will not be dying, and Creator not to be overcome, and Seeing not suspicious, and Hearing not doubting, and Truthful not lying, and Subduer not being subdued, and Initiator nor changing, and Near not far, and Able not opposed, and Forgiver nor unjust, and Persistent not eating, and Eternal not sleeping, and Responder not getting weary, and Forceful not talking, and Magnificent not breached, and Knower nor being taught!
وَ قَوِيٌّ لَا تَضْعُفُ وَ وَفِيٌّ لَا تُخْلِفُ وَ عَدْلٌ لَا تَحِيفُ وَ غَنِيٌّ لَا تَفْتَقِرُ وَ كَبِيرٌ لَا تُغَادِرُ وَ حَكِيمٌ لَا تَجُورُ وَ مُمْتَنِعٌ لَا تُمَانَعُ وَ مَعْرُوفٌ لَا تُنْكَرُ وَ وَكِيلٌ لَا تُخْفَى وَ غَالِبٌ لَا تُغْلَبُ وَ بَرٌّ لَا تُسْتَأْمَرُ-
And Strong nor weakened, and Loyal not disloyal, Just not unjust, and Rich not to be impoverished, and Great not betrayed, and Wise not tyrannous, and Preventer not prevented, and known not denied, and Reliable not hidden, and Prevailing not prevailed, and Righteous not neglectful!
وَ فَرْدٌ لَا تُشَاوِرُ وَ وَهَّابٌ لَا تَمَلُّ وَ وَاسِعٌ لَا تَذْهَلُ وَ جَوَادٌ لَا تَبْخَلُ وَ عَزِيزٌ لَا تُغْلَبُ وَ حَافِظٌ لَا تَغْفُلُ وَ قَائِمٌ لَا تَنَامُ وَ مُحْتَجِبٌ لَا تَزُولُ وَ دَائِمٌ لَا تَفْنَى وَ بَاقٍ لَا تَبْلَى وَ وَاحِدٌ لَا شَبِيهَ لَكَ وَ مُقْتَدِرٌ لَا تُنَازَعُ
And Individual nor consulting, and Bestower not getting fed up, and Capacious not bewildered, and Generous not being stingy, and Mighty not overcome, and Preserver not heedless, and Eternal not sleeping, and Veiled nor declining, and Permanent not perishing, and Remaining not decaying, and One there being no resemblance for You-azwj, and Powerful not contended with!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ- بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ- ذُو الْجَلالِ وَ الْإِكْرامِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُبْلِغَنِي غَايَةَ أَمَلِي وَ أَبْعَدَ أُمْنِيَّتِي وَ أَقْصَى أُرْجِيَّتِي وَ تَكْشِفَ ضُرِّي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكْشِفُهُ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the Praise being for You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj the Affectional, the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majesty and the Benevolence, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Make me reach peak of my wishes, and Extend furthest of my hopes, and utmost of my aspirations, and Remove my harm, for no one can removed it apart from You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا نُورَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا عِمَادَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا قَيُّومَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا جَمَالَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا زَيْنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Light of the skies and the earths, and O Pillar of the skies and the earths, and O Establisher of the skies and the earths, and O Beauty of the skies and the earth, and O Adornment of the skies and the earths, and O Initiator of the skies and the earths!
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ يَا مُنْتَهَى رَغْبَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ يَا منفس [مُنَفِّساً] عَنِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا مفرج [مُفَرِّجاً] عَنِ الْمَغْمُومِينَ يَا كَاشِفَ الضُّرِّ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ مَنْزُولٌ بِكَ كُلُّ حَاجَةٍ
O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O Listener to the ones crying out, O Helper of the ones crying out for help, O Ultimate desire of the worshippers, O Reliever of the distressed ones, O Reliever from the sorrowful, O Remover of the harm, O Responder to supplications of the desperate! O most Merciful of the merciful ones, O God-azwj of the worlds! Every need descends with You-azwj (to be fulfilled)!
يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا نُورَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ
O Affectionate! O Bestower! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! O Noor of the skies and the earths and whatever is between these, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne! O Lord‑azwj, O Lord-azwj, O Lord-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ النُّورِ الْمُشْرِقِ الْحَيِّ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمِ وَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ وَ انْفَلَقَتْ بِهِ الظُّلُمَاتُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُفَرِّجَ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ كَرْبٍ وَ ضُرٍّ وَ ضِيقٍ أَنَا فِيهِ وَ أَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تَرْحَمَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ مَا وَلَدَا وَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Honourable Face, the Shining Noor, the Living, the Remaining, the Permanent, and by Your-azwj Holy Face which the skies, and the earths shine for, and the darkness is split by it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Relieve from me every worry, and sadness, and stress, and harm, and constriction I am in, and to Mercy me and Mercy my parents and what they beget, and the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the living from them and the dead, You-azwj are Able upon all things, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَرَاهُ الْعُيُونُ وَ لَا تُخَالِطُهُ الظُّنُونُ وَ لَا تَصِفُهُ الْوَاصِفُونَ وَ لَا تَعْتَرِيهِ الْحَوَادِثُ وَ لَا تَغْشَاهُ الدَّوَائِرُ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O One Whom neither can the eyes see Him-azwj, nor can the thoughts mingle Him-azwj, nor can the describers describe Him-azwj, and nor do the newly-occurring events straiten Him-azwj, nor do the ages overwhelm Him-azwj!
تَعْلَمُ مَثَاقِيلَ الْجِبَالِ وَ مَكَايِيلَ الْبِحَارِ وَ عَدَدَ قَطْرِ الْأَمْطَارِ وَ وَرَقَ الْأَشْجَارِ وَ مَا أَظْلَمَ عَلَيْهِ اللَّيْلُ وَ أَشْرَقَ عَلَيْهِ النَّهَارُ وَ لَا يُوَارِي مِنْكَ سَمَاءٌ سَمَاءً وَ لَا أَرْضٌ أَرْضاً وَ لَا جَبَلٌ مَا فِي وغده [وَعْرِهِ] وَ لَا بَحْرٌ مَا فِي قَعْرِهِ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ خَيْرَ عُمُرِي آخِرَهُ وَ خَيْرَ عَمَلِي خَوَاتِمَهُ وَ خَيْرَ أَيَّامِي يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
You-azwj Know weights of the mountains, and measurements of the oceans, and number of the drops of rains, and leaves of the trees, and what the night shades upon and the days shine upon, and no sky covers a sky from You-azwj, nor an earth from an earth, nor a mountain what is in its interior, nor an ocean what is in its depths, and Make best of my lifespan being its end, and best of my deeds being its ending, and best of my days being the day I meet You-azwj! You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ فُلَّ عَنِّي حَدَّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لِي حَدَّهُ وَ أَطْفِ عَنِّي نَارَ مَنْ شَبَّ لِي نَارَهُ وَ اكْفِنِي هَمَّ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيَّ هَمَّهُ وَ اعْصِمْنِي بِالسَّكِينَةِ وَ الْوَقَارِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي دِرْعِكَ الْحَصِينَةِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي سِتْرِكَ الْوَاقِي يَا مَنْ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Remove on my behalf sharpness of the one setting up sharpness to me, and Extinguish on my behalf fire of the one who has ignited its flames to me, and Suffice me the worries of the one who enters worries upon me, and Protect me with the tranquillity and the dignity, and Enter me into Your-azwj Fortified Shield, and Enter me into Your-azwj Saving curtain by Your-azwj Mercy, O One nothing can suffice from Him-azwj! Suffice me of what worries me, from matters of my world and my Hereafter, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
يَا حَقِيقُ يَا شَفِيقُ يَا رُكْنِيَ الْوَثِيقُ أَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ حَلَقِ الْمَضِيقِ إِلَى فَرَجٍ مِنْكَ قَرِيبٍ وَ لَا تَحْمِلْنِي يَا عَزِيزُ بِحَقِّ عِزِّكَ مَا لَا أُطِيقُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْحَقِيقُ يَا مُشْرِفَ الْبُرْهَانِ يَا قَوِيَّ الْأَرْكَانِ يَا مَنْ وَجْهُهُ فِي هَذَا الْمَكَانِ احْرُسْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْفِنِي بِكِفَايَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ
O Reality, O Compassionate, O my steadfast support! Extract me from the constriction of distress to a near relief from You-azwj and do not burden me, O Mighty One, by the right of Your-azwj might, beyond what I can bear. You-azwj are Allah-azwj, my Master and Protector, the True King, the Real, the One who controls the evident proofs, the Mighty in Authority. O One Whose Face is in this place, guard me with Your-azwj Ever-watchful eye, and suffice me with Your-azwj All-sufficient Power that cannot be breached!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا أَهْلِكُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّجَاءُ فَارْحَمْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I cannot be destroyed while You-azwj are the hope, therefore Mercy me, O most Merciful of the Merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النُّورِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ وَ رَبَّ الْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ وَ الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ وَ رَبَّ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ رَبَّ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Noor, and Lord-azwj of the even and the odd, and Lord‑azwj of the swelling ocean, and the Oft-Frequented House (Bayt Al-Mamour), and Lord‑azwj of the Torah and the Evangel and the Psalms, and Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Quran!
أَنْتَ اللَّهُ إِلَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ- لَا إِلَهَ فِيهِمَا غَيْرُك وَ لَا مَعْبُودَ سِوَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ جَبَّارُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ جَبَّارُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ- لَا جَبَّارَ فِيهِمَا غَيْرُك وَ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ مَلِكُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ- لَا مَلِكَ فِيهِمَا غَيْرُكَ
You-azwj are Allah-azwj, God-azwj of the ones in the skies and the earths! There is no God-azwj in these apart from You-azwj nor any Deity besides You-azwj, and You-azwj are Force of the ones in the skies and Force of the ones in the earth, there being no Force in these apart from You-azwj, and there isn’t any King of the ones in the sky and Kind of ones in the earth, nor King in these two apart from You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيمِ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي صَلَحَ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ بِهِ صَلَحَ الْآخَرُونَ يَا حَيُّ قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَصْلُحَ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ عَمَلِي فِي الْمَرْفُوعِ الْمُتَقَبَّلِ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Magnificent Name and Your-azwj Ancient Kingdom, and by Your-azwj Name which the former ones were rectified by it and the latter ones will be rectified by it! O Living before every living being! O Alive! There is no god except You-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of the Muhammad-saww, and to Rectify my affairs for me, all of them, and to Make my deed among the Raised, the Accepted!
وَ هَبْ لِي مَا وَهَبْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ فَإِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْكَ مُنِيبٌ إِلَيْكَ مَصِيرِي إِلَيْكَ أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ تُعْطِي الْخَيْرَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَ تَصْرِفُهُ عَمَّنْ تَشَاءُ فَتَوَفَّنِي عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ هَبْ لِي مَا وَهَبْتَ لِعِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ:
And Gift to me what You-azwj had Gifted to Your-azwj friends and people obedient to You-azwj, for I am a believer in You-azwj, relying upon You-azwj, penitent to You-azwj! My destination is to You-azwj! You-azwj are the Affectionate, the Bestower,! You-azwj Give the good to the one You‑azwj Desire to, and You-azwj it away from the one You-azwj Desire to! Harmonise me upon the religion of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Sunnah, and Gift to me what You-azwj had Gifted to Your-azwj righteous servants, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ وَفِّقْنِي لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ يُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي وَ عَظِّمْ شَأْنِي وَ أَحْسِنْ مَثْوَايَ وَ ثَبِّتْنِي بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِكُلِّ مَقَامٍ مَحْمُودٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُدْعَى فِيهِ بِأَسْمَائِكَ أَوْ تُسْأَلَ فِيهِ مِنْ عَطَايَاكَ
O Allah-azwj! Harmonise me to every thing Satisfying You-azwj with me, and drawing me closer to You-azwj, and Raise my rank, and Magnify my Splendour, and Make my abode excellent, and Affirm me with the firm Word in life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Harmonise me to every praise-worthy position You-azwj Love to be supplicated to in it with Your-azwj Names or to be asked in for Your-azwj Awards!
رَبِّ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تُبْدِ عَوْرَتِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
Lord-azwj! Do not Remove Your-azwj Curtain from me, nor Reveal my defects to anyone of Your‑azwj creatures!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الصِّحَّةَ فِي بَدَنِي وَ النَّصِيحَةَ فِي صَدْرِي وَ ذِكْرَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى لِسَانِي وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى سُنَّتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make the certainty to be in my heart, and the Noor in my sight, and the health in my body, and the good advice in my chest, and Your-azwj Zikr at night and day to be upon my tongue, and Expand upon me from Your-azwj Grace, and Grace me from Your-azwj Blessings, and Utilise me in Your-azwj obedience, and Make my desire to You-azwj be regarding what is with You-azwj, and Cause me to die upon Your-azwj Sunnah!
وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى غَيْرِكَ وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي يَا صَرِيخَ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ فَرِّجْ هَمِّي وَ غَمِّي وَ حُزْنِي كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ رَسُولِكَ هَمَّهُ وَ غَمَّهُ وَ حُزْنَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ فَاكْفِنِي كُلَّ هَوْلٍ وَ فِتْنَةٍ وَ سُقْمٍ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَنِي رَحْمَتَكَ
And do not Allocate me to others, nor let my heart deviate after You-azwj having Guided it, O Listener of the distressed, O Responder to supplications of the desperate! Relieve my worries, and my sorrows, and my grief just as You-azwj had Relieved from Your-azwj Rasool-saww of his-saww worries, and his-saww sorrows, and his-saww grief, and Sufficed him-saww of might of his-saww enemies! Suffice me of every might, and Fitna, and illness until You-azwj Make me reach Your‑azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مَكَانُ الْبَائِسِ الْفَقِيرِ وَ الْخَائِفِ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ وَ الْهَالِكِ الْفَرِقِ وَ الْمُشْفِقِ الْوَجِلِ وَ مَنْ يُقِرُّ بِخَطِيئَتِهِ وَ يَعْتَرِفُ بِذَنْبِهِ وَ يَتُوبُ إِلَى رَبِّهِ
O Allah-azwj! This is the place of the destitute, the poor, the fearful, the shelter seeker, and the one on verge of the destruction, and one who accepts his wrongdoings, and acknowledge his sins, and is repenting to his Lord-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ فَقَدْ تَرَى مَكَانِي وَ تَسْمَعُ كَلَامِي وَ تَعْلَمُ سِرِّي وَ إِعْلَانيِ وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْكَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ أَمْرِي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Seeing my place, and Hearing my speech, and You-azwj Know my secrets and my announcements, and nothing from my affairs is hidden unto You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ وَلِيُّ التَّقْدِيرِ وَ مُمْضِي الْمَقَادِيرِ سُؤَالَ مَنْ أَسَاءَ وَ اقْتَرَفَ وَ اسْتَكَانَ وَ اعْتَرَفَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا مَضَى فِي عِلْمِكَ وَ شَهِدَتْهُ حَفَظَتُكَ وَ أَحْصَتْهُ مَلَائِكَتُكَ
I ask You-azwj because You-azwj are in Charge of the destiny, and Accomplisher of the Determinations, begging by the one who has done evil, and committed sins, and acknowledges; and I ask You-azwj to Forgive for me what has passed in Your-azwj Knowledge, and Your-azwj Recorders have witnessed it, and Your Angels have counted it!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنِّي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ سَلَّمَ
And I ask You-azwj to Overlook from me and Mercy me with Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww the Prophet-saww, and upon People-asws of his-saww Household! May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon them-asws and Greetings!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا نُورَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا زَيْنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ يَا مُغِيثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ وَ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ وَ يَا مُنْتَهَى رَغْبَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ وَ يَا مفرج [مُفَرِّجاً] عَنِ الْمَغْمُومِينَ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ كَرْبِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا خَيْرَ الْغَافِرِينَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! O Noor of the skies and the earths, and O Adorner of the skies and the earths, and O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and O Helper of the ones seeking help, and O listener to the ones crying out, and O Ultimate desire of the worshippers, and O Reliever from the sorrowful, and O Remover of stress of the distressed, and O Best of the forgivers, and O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and O Responder to supplication of the desperate, and O God-azwj of the worlds!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ:
I ask You-azwj with, ‘For You-azwj is the Praise’! There is no god except You-azwj, O Affectionate, O Bestower, O Initiator of the skies and the earth, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O Living, O Eternal! I ask You-azwj to Liberate me from the Hellfire!
اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ وَفِّقْنَا لِمَا يَكْسِبُنَا الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ جَنِّبْنَا السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنَّا الْمَكْرُوهَاتِ وَ قِنَا الْمَخُوفَاتِ إِنَّكَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّغَبَاتِ وَ مُجِيبُ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ قَاضِي الْحَاجَاتِ وَ كَاشِفُ الْكُرُبَاتِ وَ فَارِجُ الْهَمِّ وَ كَاشِفُ الْغَمِّ وَ رَحْمَانُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمُهُمَا
O Allah-azwj! Open for me the doors of goodness, and Harmonise us to what we earn of the good deeds, and Keep us aside from the evil deeds, and Repel from us the abhorrence’s, and Save us from the scary things! You-azwj Ultimate of the desires, and Responder of the supplication, and Fulfiller of the needs, and Remover of the distresses, and Reliever of the worries, and Remover of the sadness, and Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and its Mercier!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي فِي حَيَاتِي وَ مَمَاتِي رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ
O Allah-azwj! Forgive my sins for me, and Mercy me during my lifetime and in my death, such a Mercy making me needless by it from mercy of the ones apart from You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ آمَنْتُ بِكَ مُخْلِصاً لَكَ دِينِي أُصْبِحُ وَ أُمْسِي عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَ وَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Lord-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj and I am Your-azwj servant! I believe in You-azwj being sincere to You-azwj of my religion! I come to morning and evening being upon Your-azwj Pact, and Your-azwj Promise whatever I am capable of!
أَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ مِنْ سَيِّئَاتِ عَمَلِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِذُنُوبِيَ الَّتِي لَا يَغْفِرُهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ
I ask You-azwj for the Turning from my evil actions, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness for my sins which no one can Forgive these except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى تَرَى وَ لَا تُرَى أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَضِلَّ فَأَشْقَى أَوْ أُذَلَّ فَأَخْزَى وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ آتِيَ مَا لَا تَرْضَى
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are with the exalted scenario. You-azwj See and cannot be seen! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from straying so I would be wretched, or from straying others so I would be disgraced, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj committing what You-azwj are not Pleased with!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ جَدِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ-
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the seat of honour from Your-azwj Throne, and the ultimate Mercy from Your-azwj Book, and by Your-azwj Magnificent Name, and Your Exalted Glory, and Your-azwj Complete Words!
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-
‘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].
تُولِجُ اللَّيْلَ فِي النَّهارِ وَ تُولِجُ النَّهارَ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ تُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ تَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ
You Insert the night into the day and You Insert the day into the night, and You Extract the living from the dead and You Extract the dead from the living, and You Give sustenance to whomsoever You Desire to without measure [3:27].
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَقْضِيَ لِي جَمِيعَ حَوَائِجِي صَغِيرَهَا وَ كَبِيرَهَا مَا أَسْرَرْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ تُسَهِّلَ لِي مَحْيَايَ وَ تُيَسِّرَ لِي أُمُورِي وَ تَكْشِفَ ضُرِّي وَ تَكْبِتَ أَعْدَائِي وَ تَكْفِيَنِي شَرَّ حُسَّادِي وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ
I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww and to Forgive for me entirety of my sins, and Fulfil for me entirety of my needs, their small ones and their big, whatever I have kept secret from these and whatever I have announced, and Ease my life for me and Ease my affairs for me, and Remove my harm, and Repress my enemies, and Suffice me of evil of my enviers, and evil of every one with evil!
وَ تُؤْتِيَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ تَقِيَنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ يَا أَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِينَ وَ يَا مَالِكَ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
And Give me goodness in the world and goodness in the Hereafter, and Save me by Your-azwj Mercy from punishment of the Hellfire by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and O most Hearing of the hearing ones, and O Owner of the Day of religion (Qiyamah)! Ameen, Lord-azwj of the worlds!
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ لِي وَ لَا حِيلَةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ وَ حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ.
And may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww, last of the Prophets, and upon his‑saww goodly Progeny-asws, and abundant Greetings, and there is neither might nor strength for me, nor means except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent, and whatever Allah-azwj Desires happens! Allah-azwj Suffices us and is the best Protector!’’[15]
4- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، رَوَى أَبُو مِخْنَفٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع خَطَبَ يَوْمَ الْأَضْحَى فَكَبَّرَ فَقَالَ- اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ
(The book) ‘Al Mutahajjid’ – It is reported by Abu Mikhnaf, from Abdul Rahman Bin Jundab, from his father,
‘Ali-asws addressed on the day of (Eid) Al-Azha. He-asws exclaimed Takbeer, so he-asws said: ‘Allah‑azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ لَهُ الشُّكْرُ عَلَى مَا أَبْلَانَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعامِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ زِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ وَ رِضَى نَفْسِهِ وَ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ وَ عَدَدَ قَطْرِ سَمَاوَاتِهِ وَ نُطَفِ بُحُورِهِ-
The Praise is for Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj has Guided us, and for Him-azwj is the thanks upon what He-azwj has Tried us, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj has Graced us, from beasts of the cattle! Allah-azwj is Greatest, weight of His-azwj Throne, and Satisfaction of Himself‑azwj, and extent of His-azwj Words, and number of drops of His-azwj skies, and trickles of His-azwj oceans!
لَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْأُولَى حَتَّى يَرْضَى وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا إِنَّهُ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْكَبِيرُ
For Him-azwj are the most excellent Names, and for Him-azwj is the Praise in the Hereafter and the former (world) until He-azwj is Satisfied, and after the Satisfaction, surely, He-azwj is the Exalted, the Great!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً مُتَكَبِّراً وَ إِلَهاً عَزِيزاً مُتَعَزِّزاً وَ رَحِيماً عَطُوفاً مُتَحَنِّناً يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ يُقِيلُ الْعَثْرَةَ وَ يَعْفُو بَعْدَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ لَا يَقْنَطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الضَّالُّونَ
Allah-azwj is Greatest, Great, most Proud, and Mighty God-azwj, Forceful, and Merciful, Compassionate, Affectionate! He-azwj Accepts the repentance, and Uproots the stumbles, and Pardons after the Power, and no one despairs from the Mercy of Allah-azwj except the unjust people!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ كَبِيراً وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصاً وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيهِ
Allah-azwj is Greatest, Great, and there is no god except Allah-azwj Purely, and Glory be to Allah‑azwj Morning and evening, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj! We Praise him, and we seek His‑azwj Assistance, and we seek His-azwj Forgiveness, and we seek His-azwj Guidance!
وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ- مَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ اهْتَدَى وَ فازَ فَوْزاً عَظِيماً وَ مَنْ يَعْصِهِمَا فَقَدْ ضَلَّ ضَلالًا بَعِيداً
And I testify that there is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is His-azwj servant and His-azwj Rasool-saww! One who obeys Allah-azwj and His‑azwj Rasool-saww, he is Guided and succeeded with a mighty success, and one who disobeys them has strayed a far straying!
أُوصِيكُمْ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ وَ كَثْرَةِ ذِكْرِ الْمَوْتِ وَ أُحَذِّرُكُمُ الدُّنْيَا الَّتِي لَمْ يُمَتَّعْ بِهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكُمْ وَ لَا تَبْقَى لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدَكُمْ فَسَبِيلُ مَنْ فِيهَا سَبِيلُ الْمَاضِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا
I-asws advise you, servants of Allah-azwj, with fearing Allah-azwj and frequently remembering the death, and I-asws caution you of the world which no one before you has fully enjoyed with it nor will it remain for anyone after you all! Thus, the way of the ones in it is the way of the past ones from its people!
أَلَا وَ إِنَّهَا قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ آذَنَتْ بِانْقِضَاءٍ وَ تَنَكَّرَ مَعْرُوفُهَا وَ أَصْبَحَتْ مُدْبِرَةً مُوَلِّيَةً فَهِيَ تَهْتِفُ بِالْفَنَاءِ وَ تَصْرُخُ بِالْمَوْتِ قَدْ أَمَرَّ مِنْهَا مَا كَانَ حُلْواً وَ كَدِرَ مِنْهَا مَا كَانَ صَفْواً فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا شُفَافَةٌ كَشُفَافَةِ الْإِنَاءِ وَ جُرْعَةٌ كَجُرْعَةِ الْإِدَاوَةِ لَوْ تَمَزَّزَهَا الصَّدْيَانُ لَمْ تَنْقَعْ غُلَّتَهُ
Indeed, and it has become rugged and has proclaimed with expiry, and its goodness is disguised, and it has become turning back, so it is calling with the annihilation and shrieking with the death. It has become bitter from it what had been sweet, and turbid from it what had been clear. So, there does not remain from it except remnants like remnants of the vessel, and a gulp like the gulp of a container. If two camels were to drink it, it would not even moisten their throats!
فَأَزْمِعُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ عَلَى الرَّحِيلِ عَنْهَا وَ أَجْمِعُوا مُتَارَكَتَهَا فَمَا مِنْ حَيٍّ يَطْمَعُ فِي بَقَاءٍ وَ لَا نَفْسٍ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ أَذْعَنَتْ لِلْمَنُونِ وَ لَا يَغْلِبَنَّكُمُ الْأَمَلُ وَ لَا يَطُلْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْأَمَدُ فَتَقْسُوَ قُلُوبُكُمْ وَ لَا تَغْتَرُّوا بِالْمُنَى وَ خُدَعِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ تَسْوِيفِهِ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ عَدُوُّكُمْ حَرِيصٌ عَلَى إِهْلَاكِكُمْ
Servants of Allah-azwj! Be determined upon the departing from it and gather its provisions! There is no living being having been greedy in remaining nor a soul except and it has surrendered to the deaths, and do not let the aspirations overwhelm you nor let the terms seem prolonged to you for your hearts will harden, and do not be deluded by the wishes and deceptions of Satan-la and his-la insinuation, for the Satan-la is your enemy, eager upon destroying you all!
تَعَبَّدُوا اللَّهَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ أَيَّامَ الْحَيَاةِ فَوَ اللَّهِ لَوْ حَنَنْتُمْ حَنِينَ الْوَالِهِ الْمِعْجَالِ وَ دَعَوْتُمْ دُعَاءَ الْحَمَامِ وَ جَأَرْتُمْ جُؤَارَ مُتَبَتِّلِي الرُّهْبَانِ وَ خَرَجْتُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنَ الْأَمْوَالِ وَ الْأَوْلَادِ الْتِمَاسَ الْقُرْبَةِ إِلَيْهِ فِي ارْتِفَاعِ دَرَجَةٍ عِنْدَهُ وَ غُفْرَانِ سَيِّئَةٍ أَحْصَتْهَا كَتَبَتُهُ وَ حَفِظَتْهَا رُسُلُهُ لَكَانَ قَلِيلًا فِيمَا تَرْجُونَ مِنْ ثَوَابِهِ وَ تَخْشَوْنَ مِنْ عِقَابِهِ
Servants of Allah-azwj! Worship Allah-azwj in the days of the lifetime, for by Allah-azwj, even if you were to yearn the yearning of the desperate one being hasty, and you were to supplicate like cooing of the pigeons, and be in the vicinity of the afflicted ascetics, and you extract to Allah‑azwj from the wealth and the children seeking the nearness to Him-azwj in raising ranks in His-azwj Presence, and Forgiveness of evil deeds enumerated in His-azwj Books, and His-azwj Messengers-as have preserved, it would be little compared to what you are hoping for from His-azwj Rewards and fearing from His-azwj Punishments!
وَ تَاللَّهِ لَوِ انْمَاثَتْ قُلُوبُكُمُ انْمِيَاثاً وَ سَالَتْ مِنْ رَهْبَةِ اللَّهِ عُيُونُكُمْ دَماً ثُمَّ عُمِّرْتُمْ عُمُرَ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى أَفْضَلِ اجْتِهَادٍ وَ عَمَلٍ مَا جَزَتْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ حَقَّ نِعْمَةِ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ لَا اسْتَحْقَقْتُمُ الْجَنَّةَ بِسِوَى رَحْمَةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنِّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ مِنَ الْمُقْسِطِينَ التَّائِبِينَ الْأَوَّابِينَ
And by Allah-azwj! Even if your hearts were to soften and your eyes were to shed tears out of awe of Allah-azwj, and then you were to live the entire life with the best of efforts and deeds, your actions would not be sufficient to truly earn the bounties of Allah-azwj upon you, and you would not deserve the Paradise except by the Mercy and His-azwj Conferment upon you! May Allah-azwj Make us and you all from the equitable ones, the repentant, the penitent!
أَلَا وَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمٌ حُرْمَتُهُ عَظِيمَةٌ وَ بَرَكَتَهُ مَأْمُولَةٌ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ فِيهِ مَرْجُوَّةٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ وَ تَعَرَّضُوا لِثَوَابِهِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَ الْإِنَابَةِ وَ الْخُضُوعِ وَ التَّضَرُّعِ فَإِنَّهُ يَقْبَلُ التَّوْبَةَ عَنْ عِبادِهِ وَ يَعْفُوا عَنِ السَّيِّئاتِ وَ هُوَ الرَّحِيمُ الْوَدُودُ
Indeed, and this day is a day of mighty sanctity and Blessings are wished for, and the Forgives is hoped for during it, therefore frequent the Zikr of Allah-azwj and be exposed to His-azwj Rewards with the repentance and the turning, and the humility, and the beseeching, for He‑azwj Accepts the repentance from His-azwj servant and Pardons the evil deed, and He-azwj is the Merciful, the Affectionate!
وَ مَنْ ضَحَّى مِنْكُمْ فَلْيُضَحِّ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ وَ لَا يُجْزِي عَنْهُ جَذَعٌ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ وَ مِنْ تَمَامِ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ اسْتِشْرَافُ أُذُنِهَا وَ سَلَامَةُ عَيْنِهَا فَإِذَا سَلِمَتِ الْأُذُنُ وَ الْعَيْنُ سَلِمَتِ الْأُضْحِيَّةُ وَ تَمَّتْ وَ إِنْ كَانَتْ عَضْبَاءَ الْقَرْنِ تَجُرُّ رِجْلَيْهَا إِلَى الْمَنْسِكِ-
And one from you who offers a sacrifice, let him sacrifice a young (seven months old) from the sheep and it will not suffice him a young from the goat, and from the complete offerings is its protruding ears and soundness of its eyes. When the ears and the eyes are sound, the sacrificial offering is sound and complete, and even if it has been of sharp horns dragging its feet to the ritual.
وَ إِذَا ضَحَّيْتُمْ فَكُلُوا مِنْهَا وَ أَطْعِمُوا وَ ادَّخِرُوا وَ احْمَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَكُمْ مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ- وَ أَقِيمُوا الصَّلاةَ وَ آتُوا الزَّكاةَ وَ أَحْسِنُوا الْعِبَادَةَ وَ أَقِيمُوا الشَّهَادَةَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ ارْغَبُوا فِيمَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَ أَدُّوا مَا افْتَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الْحَجِّ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الزَّكَاةِ وَ مَعَالِمِ الْإِيمَانِ
And when you have offered a sacrifice, then eat from it and feed others, and save, and Praise Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj has Graced you from beast of the cattle, and establish the Salat and give the Zakat, and improve the worship, and establish the testimony with the fairness, and be desirous regarding what Allah-azwj has Written for you all, and fulfil what Allah-azwj has Obligated upon you all, from the Hajj, and the fasting, and the Salat and the Zakat and the signs of Eman!
فَإِنَّ ثَوَابَ اللَّهِ عَظِيمٌ وَ خَيْرَهُ جَسِيمٌ وَ أْمُرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَ انْهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَ أَعِينُوا الضَّعِيفَ وَ انْصُرُوا الْمَظْلُومَ وَ خُذُوا فَوْقَ يَدِ الظَّالِمِ أَوِ الْمُرِيبِ وَ أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى نِسَائِكُمْ وَ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُكُمْ وَ اصْدُقُوا الْحَدِيثَ وَ أَدُّوا الْأَمَانَةَ-
The Rewards of Allah-azwj are mighty, and His-azwj goodness is immense, and instruct with the acts of kindness and forbid from the evil, and assist the weak, and help the oppressed, and take above the hand of an oppressor or the suspicious, and be good to your womenfolk, and what your right hands possess, and be truthful of the narration, and pay back the entrustments!
وَ أَوْفُوا بِالْعَهْدِ وَ كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ وَ أَوْفُوا الْمِكْيالَ وَ الْمِيزانَ- وَ جاهِدُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَقَّ جِهادِهِ وَ فَلا تَغُرَّنَّكُمُ الْحَياةُ الدُّنْيا وَ لا يَغُرَّنَّكُمْ بِاللَّهِ الْغَرُورُ إِنَّ أَبْلَغَ الْمَوْعِظَةِ وَ أَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ كَلَامُ اللَّهِ-
And be loyal with the Covenant and be standing with the fairness, and fulfil the measure and the scale (weight), and fight in the way of Allah-azwj as is the right of fighting, therefore the life of the world should not deceive you, nor should you be deceived by the arch-deceiver (Iblees) in respect of Allah [35:5]. Surely, the most conclusive of the preaching and most excellent of the stories is the Speech of Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ تَعَوَّذَ وَ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ جَلَسَ كَالرَّائِدِ الْعَجْلَانِ ثُمَّ نَهَضَ فَقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ نَحْمَدُهُ وَ نَسْتَعِينُهُ وَ نَسْتَهْدِيهِ وَ نَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ نُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ نَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ-
Then he-asws sought refuge and recited Surah Al Ikhlas (Al Tawheed) and sat like rider of a young camel. Then he-asws got up and said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj! We praise Him-azwj, and seek His-azwj Assistance, and seek His-azwj Guidance, and we seek His-azwj Forgiveness, and we believe in Him-azwj and we rely upon Him-azwj!’’
وَ ذَكَرَ بَاقِيَ الْخُطْبَةِ الْقَصِيرَةِ نَحْواً مِنْ خُطْبَةِ الْجُمُعَةِ.
Then he mentioned the short sermon approximate to the Friday sermon’’.[16]
تبيين وَ فِي النَّهْجِ أَلَا وَ إِنَّ الدُّنْيَا قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ آذَنَتْ بِوَدَاعٍ وَ تَنَكَّرَ مَعْرُوفُهَا وَ أَدْبَرَتْ حَذَّاءَ فَهِيَ تَحْفِزُ بِالْفَنَاءِ سُكَّانَهَا وَ تَحْدُو بِالْمَوْتِ جِيرَانَهَا.
Clarification (Ahadeeth only) – And in (the book) ‘Al-Nahj’: ‘Indeed, and surely the world is folding up and has proclaimed the termination, and it’s acts of kindness are being denied, and it is turning back speedily. It is driving its dwellers to the annihilation and guiding its neighbours to the death!’’
وَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ أَ لَا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّهَا قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ آذَنَتْ بِانْقِضَاءٍ وَ تَنَكَّرَ مَعْرُوفُهَا وَ أَدْبَرَتْ حَذَّاءَ فَهِيَ تُخْبِرُ بِالْفَنَاءِ وَ سَاكِنُهَا يُحْدَى بِالْمَوْتِ فَقَدْ أَمَرَّ مِنْهَا مَا كَانَ حُلْواً وَ كَدِرَ مِنْهَا مَا كَانَ صَفْواً فَلَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْهَا إِلَّا سَمَلَةٌ كَسَمَلَةِ الْإِدَاوَةِ وَ جُرْعَةٌ كَجُرْعَةِ الْإِنَاءِ لَوْ تَمَزَّزَهَا الصَّدْيَانُ لَمْ تَنْقَعْ غُلَّتَهُ.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Faqeeh’ – Indeed! Are you not seeking it is turning back and has proclaimed with the expiry, and disguised its kindness, and turned around speedily, so it is informing of the annihilation and its dwellers are being guided by the death. It has turned bitter what had been sweet, and turbid from it what had been clear. So, there does not remain from it except remnants like remnants of the vessel, and a gulp like the gulp of a container. If two camels were to drink it, it would not even moisten their throats!
وَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ جَعَلَنَا اللَّهُ وَ إِيَّاكُمْ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مِنَ التَّائِبِينَ الْعَابِدِينَ وَ إِنَّ هَذَا يَوْمٌ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَأَكْثِرُوا ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوهُ وَ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ إِنَّهُ هُوَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
And in (the book) ‘Al-Faqeeh’ – May Allah-azwj Make us and you all, by His-azwj Mercy, from the repentant, the worshippers, and this day’ – up to his-asws words: ‘Therefore frequent Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted and seek His-azwj Forgiveness and repent to Him-azwj, surely He-azwj is the Oft-Turning, the Merciful!
وَ مَنْ ضَحَّى مِنْكُمْ بِجَذَعٍ مِنَ الْمَعْزِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُجْزِي عَنْهُ وَ الْجَذَعُ مِنَ الضَّأْنِ يُجْزِي وَ مِنْ تَمَامِ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ اسْتِشْرَافُ عَيْنِهَا وَ أُذُنِهَا وَ إِذَا سَلِمَتِ الْعَيْنُ وَ الْأُذُنُ تَمَّتِ الْأُضْحِيَّةُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَضْبَاءَ الْقَرْنِ أَوْ تَجُرُّ بِرِجْلِهَا إِلَى الْمَنْسَكِ فَلَا تُجْزِي وَ إِذَا ضَحَّيْتُمْ فَكُلُوا وَ أَطْعِمُوا وَ أَهْدُوا وَ احْمَدُوا اللَّهَ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَكُمُ.
And one from you who offers a sacrifice a young from the goat, it will not suffice from it, and the young (seven months old) from the sheep does suffice, and from the complete offerings is its protruding eyes and ears, and when the eyes and the ears are sound, the sacrificial offering is sound and complete, and if it was of broken horn or dragging its feet to the ritual, it does not suffice; and when you have sacrificed, then eat and feed others, and gift, and praise Allah‑azwj upon what He-azwj has Graced you all!’’
وَ فِي النَّهْجِ وَ مِنْ تَمَامِ الْأُضْحِيَّةِ اسْتِشْرَافُ أُذُنِهَا وَ سَلَامَةُ عَيْنِهَا فَإِذَا سَلِمَتِ الْأُذُنُ وَ الْعَيْنُ سَلِمَتِ الْأُضْحِيَّةُ وَ تَمَّتْ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ عَضْبَاءَ الْقَرْنِ تَجُرُّ رِجْلَهَا إِلَى الْمَنْسِكِ.
And in (the book) ‘Al-Nahj’: ‘And from completeness of the sacrificial animal is the erectness of its ears, and soundness of its eyes. When the ears and the eyes are sound, the sacrificial animal is sound and complete, even if its horn were to be broken or it were to drag its legs to the ritual sacrifice’’.
باب 107 عمل ليلتي العيدين و يومهما و فضلهما و التكبيرات فيهما و في أيام التشريق
CHAPTER 107 – ACTS OF WORSHIP ON THE NIGHTS OF EID(S), AND ITS DAYS, AND ITS MERIT, AND THE EXCLAMATIONS OF TAKBEER IN THESE, AND DURING THE DAYS OF AL-TASHREEQ (11th to 13th ZILHAJJ)
الآيات البقرة وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلى ما هَداكُمْ
The Verses – (Surah) Al Baqarah: for you to exclaim the Greatness of Allah upon what He has Guided you, [2:185].
و قال تعالى فَإِذا قَضَيْتُمْ مَناسِكَكُمْ فَاذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ كَذِكْرِكُمْ آباءَكُمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ ذِكْراً
And the Exalted Said: So when you have fulfilled your rituals, then mention Allah as you mentioned your forefathers, or with a more intense mentioning. [2:200].
و قال سبحانه وَ اذْكُرُوا اللَّهَ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْدُوداتٍ
And the Glorious Said: And mention Allah during the numbered days; [2:203].
الحج وَ يَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ فِي أَيَّامٍ مَعْلُوماتٍ عَلى ما رَزَقَهُمْ مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعامِ
(Surah) Al Hajj: and they would mention the Name of Allah during the well-known days upon what He has Graced them from the beasts, the cattle. [22:28].
و قال تعالى كَذلِكَ سَخَّرَها لَكُمْ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلى ما هَداكُمْ
And the Exalted Said: Like that, We Subjected these for you, for you to exclaim the Greatness of Allah upon what We Guided you, [22:37].
الأعلى قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ تَزَكَّى- وَ ذَكَرَ اسْمَ رَبِّهِ فَصَلَّى.
(Surah) Al A’la: He has succeeded, the one who purifies himself [87:14] And does Zikr of a Name of his Lord, so he sends Salawat [87:15].
تفسير قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع التَّكْبِيرُ بِمِنًى عَقِيبَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ صَلَاةً أَوَّلُهَا الظُّهْرُ مِنْ يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ.
Interpretation (Ahadeeth only) – Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘The Takbeer at Mina is a follow-up of fifteen Salat(s). Their first is Al-Zohr from the day of the sacrifice. He should say, ‘Allah-azwj is the Greatest!’’
1- الْإِقْبَالُ، رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يَغْتَسِلُ قَبْلَ الْغُرُوبِ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْفِطَرِ إِذَا عَلِمَ أَنَّهَا لَيْلَةُ الْعِيدِ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُ يَغْتَسِلُ أَوَاخِرَ لَيْلَةِ الْعِيدِ.
(The book) ‘Al-Iqbal’ – It is reported that he should bathe before Al-Maghrib from the night of (Eid) Al-Fitr when he knows that it is the night of Eid. And it is reported that he should bathe at the end of the night of Eid’’.[17]
وَ مِنْهُ رُوِيَ بِإِسْنَادٍ مُتَّصِلٍ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الْمَغْفِرَةَ تَنْزِلُ عَلَى مَنْ صَامَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ
And from him, it is reported by a chain connected to Al-Hassan Bin Rashid who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The people are saying that the Forgiveness descends upon the one who fasts the month of Ramazan, on Laylat Al-Qadr’.
فَقَالَ يَا حَسَنُ إِنَّ الْقَارِ يجَارَ إِنَّمَا يُعْطَى أَجْرَهُ عِنْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ لَيْلَةَ الْعِيدِ
He-asws said: ‘O Hassan! But rather, the worker is given his wages at his being free from that, on the night of Eid’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا يَنْبَغِي لَنَا أَنْ نَفْعَلَ فِيهَا
O said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! So what is appropriate for us to do during it?’
قَالَ إِذَا غَرَبَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَاغْتَسِلْ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ الْمَغْرِبَ وَ الْأَرْبَعَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلْ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَحْصَيْتَهُ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ-
He-asws said: ‘When the sun sets, bathe. When you have prayed Al-Maghrib and the four (Cycles) which are after it, then raise your hands and say, ‘O One with the Conferment and the Leniency! O One with the Generosity! O Chooser of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Helper! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me every sin You-azwj have counted and it is with You-azwj in the Clarifying Book!’
ثُمَّ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ فَإِنَّهَا تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
Then fall into prostration and say one hundred times, ‘I repent to Allah-azwj!’, while you are in Sajdah. Then ask your need, it shall be fulfilled, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[18]
الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ نَحْوَهُ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ فَإِذَا صَلَّيْتَ ثَلَاثَ رَكَعَاتٍ الْمَغْرِبَ فَارْفَعْ يَدَيْكَ وَ قُلْ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْحَوْلِ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ- إِلَى قَوْلِهِ أَحْصَيْتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَ نَسِيتُهُ وَ هُوَ إِلَى قَوْلِهِ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ وَ سَلْ حَوَائِجَكَ.

وَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْحَوْلِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ وَ نَسِيتُهُ أَنَا وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ.

2- الْإِقْبَالُ، رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ إِنَّ فِي الْفِطْرِ تَكْبِيراً
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – We are reporting by our chains to Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akbury, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him, by his chain to Muawiya Bin Ammar who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws saying: ‘In (Eid) Al-Fitr there is Takbeer’.
قُلْتُ مَتَى
I said, ‘When?’
قَالَ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ ثُمَّ يَنْقَطِعُ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى- وَ لِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلى ما هَداكُمْ وَ التَّكْبِيرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا.
He-asws said: ‘During Al-Maghrib on the night of (Eid) Al-Fitr, and Al-Isha, and Salat Al-Fajr, and Salat of Eid. Then it is terminated, and it is Word of Allah-azwj the Exalted: for you to exclaim the Greatness of Allah upon what We Guided you, [22:37]; and the Takbeer is that he should say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise upon what He-azwj has Guided us!’’[20]
3- الْمُتَهَجِّدُ، يُسْتَحَبُّ التَّكْبِيرُ عَقِيبَ أَرْبَعِ صَلَاةٍ يَقُولُ- اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ لَهُ الشُّكْرُ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَانَا.

Explanation (Hadeeth only) – It is reported by Al-Sadouq in ‘Mubahis Al-Hajj’ that Ali-asws was saying in end of every Salat in Eid Al-Azha: ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise’’.
4- تُحَفُ الْعُقُولِ، عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع قَالَ: غُسْلُ الْأَعْيَادِ طَهُورٌ لِمَنْ أَرَادَ طَلَبَ الْحَوَائِجِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اتِّبَاعَ السُّنَّةِ.
(The book) ‘Tuhaf Al Uqoul’ –
‘From Amir Al-Momineen-asws having said: ‘Bathing of the Eid(s) is a purifier for the one who wants to seek the needs in front of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and follow the Sunnah’’.[22]
5- نِهَايَةُ الْعَلَّامَةِ، كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص يَخْرُجُ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ وَ الْأَضْحَى رَافِعاً صَوْتَهُ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ.
(The book) ‘Nihayat Al Allama’ –
‘The Prophet-saww used to go out on the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr and (Eid) Al-Azha raising his-saww voice with the Takbeer’’.[23]
6- الْمُنْتَهَى، رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ خَرَجَ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَبِّرُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى الْجَبَّانَةِ.
(The book) ‘Al Muntaha’ –
‘It is reported from Ali-asws, he-asws went out on the day of Eid. He-asws did not cease to exclaim Takbeer until he-asws ended up to Al-Jabbana (graveyard)’’.[24]
7- الْإِقْبَالُ، عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ نَافِلَتِهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ يَقْنُتُ وَ يَرْكَعُ وَ يَسْجُدُ وَ يُسَلِّمُ
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – from Al Haris Al Awr –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was praying Salat on the night of (Eid) of Al-Fitr after Al-Maghrib, and its optional of two Cycles, reciting in the first Surah Al Fatiha, and one hundred times Surah Al Tawheed, and in the second Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al Tawheed once! Then he-asws performed Qunout, and performed Ruk’u and Sajdah, and Salaam.
ثُمَّ يَخِرُّ لِلَّهِ سَاجِداً وَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَفْعَلُهَا أَحَدٌ فَيَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ وَ لَوْ أَتَى مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ مِثْلَ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ.
The he-asws fell in Sajdah to Allah-azwj and said in his-asws Sajdah: ‘I-asws repent to Allah-azwj’, one hundred times. Then he-asws said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! No one who does it will ask Allah-azwj the Exalted for anything except He-azwj will Give it, and even if he has committed from the sins like grains of sand of a desert’’.[25]
وَ مِنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يُحْيِي لَيْلَةَ عِيدِ الْفِطَرِ بِصَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ وَ يَبِيتُ لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَ يَقُولُ يَا بُنَيَّ مَا هِيَ بِدُونِ لَيْلَةٍ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ.
And from him, by his chain to Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akbury, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, to Giyas Bin Ibrahim,
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn‑asws revived the night of Eid Al-Fitr with Salat until morning, and he-asws spent the night of Al-Fitr in the Masjid and said: ‘O my-asws son-asws! It is not without a night’ – meaning Laylat Al-Qadr’’.[26]
وَ مِنْهُ نَقْلًا مِنْ كِتَابِ الْأَزْمِنَةِ لِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْمَرْزُبَانِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ قَالَ: خَرَجَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع فِي يَوْمِ الْفِطْرِ وَ النَّاسُ يَضْحَكُونَ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَعَلَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ مِضْمَاراً لِخَلْقِهِ يَسْتَبِقُونَ فِيهِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ فَسَبَقَ قَوْمٌ فَفَازُوا وَ تَخَلَّفَ آخَرُونَ فَخَابُوا
And from him, copying from the book ‘Al Azmina’ of Muhammad Bin Imran Al Marzubani, from Abdullah Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Yazeed Al Nahwy who said,
‘Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws went out during the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr and the people were laughing. He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Made the month of Ramazan as a racecourse for His-azwj creatures to be competing in it to His-azwj obedience. A people competed and they succeeded, and the others lagged behind so they were disappointed!
وَ الْعَجَبُ مِنَ الضَّاحِكِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يَفُوزُ فِيهِ الْمُحْسِنُونَ وَ يَخْسَرُ فِيهِ الْمُبْطِلُونَ وَ اللَّهِ لَوْ كُشِفَ الْغِطَاءُ لَشُغِلَ مُحْسِنٌ بِإِحْسَانِهِ وَ مُسِيءٌ بِإِسَاءَتِهِ عَنْ تَرْجِيلِ شَعْرٍ وَ تَصْقِيلِ ثَوْبٍ.
And the wonder is from the one laughing during this day, the good doers are succeeding in it and the falsifiers are incurring loss during it, and if the covering were to be removed, the good doer will too pre-occupied with his good deeds and the evil doer with his evil deeds from moving a hair and smoothing a cloth’’.[27]
8- الْإِقْبَالُ، رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الشَّيْخِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ الْأَعْوَرِ أَنَّ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع كَانَ يُصَلِّي لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ وَ يَسْجُدُ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ خَرَّ سَاجِداً وَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ- أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ-
(The book) ‘Al Iqbal’ – We are reporting by our chains to the Sheykh Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akbury, may Allah-azwj be Satisfied with him, by his chain from Al Haris Al Awr,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was praying two Cycles of Salat on the night of (Eid) Al-Fitr, reciting in the first Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Tawheed a thousand times, and in the second Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Tawheed once. Then he-asws performed Ruk’u, and Sajdah! When he‑asws had performed Salaam, he-asws fell prostrate and said in his-asws Sajdah: ‘I repent to Allah‑azwj’, one hundred times.
يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الْجُودِ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الطَّوْلِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ ص صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا-
O with the Conferment and the Generosity! O with the Conferment and the Leniency! O Chooser of Muhammad-saww! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Do such and such with me!’
فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْنَا بِوَجْهِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَفْعَلُهَا أَحَدٌ يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ فَلَوْ أَتَاهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ بِعَدَدِ رَمْلِ عَالِجٍ غَفَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ.
When he-asws raised his-asws head, he-asws faced towards us with his-asws face, then he-asws said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my-asws soul! No one doing it will ask Allah-azwj the Exalted for anything except He-azwj will Give it. Even if he had committed from the sins the number of grains of sand of a desert, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Forgive these for him’’.[28]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ صَلَّى لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ الْحَمْدَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ-
And from that is what is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah in the book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’, by his chain to Al-Hassan Bin Rashid,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who prays two Cycles Salat on Laylat Al-Qadr, reciting in the first Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Tawheed a thousand times, and in the second Surah Al Hamd, and Surah Al Tawheed once, will not ask Allah-azwj for anything except He-azwj will Give it’’.

Then recite Surah Al Tawheed two hundred times in each Cycle, then perform Salaam and say, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, seventy times, and perform Sajdah and say two hundred times, ‘O Lord-azwj!

(The book) ‘Majma Al Bayan’ –
‘It is reported from Ali-asws, he-asws went out during a day of Eid. He-asws saw some people praying Salat. He-asws said: ‘O you people! We have witnessed the Prophet-saww of Allah-azwj in a day similar to this. There did not happen to be anyone who had prayed before the Eid’, or the Prophet-saww said (so)’.
فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَ لَا تَنْهَى أَنْ يُصَلُّوا قَبْلَ خُرُوجِ الْإِمَامِ
A man said, ‘O Amir Al-Momineen-asws! Why don’t you-asws forbid them from praying before the prayer leader comes out?’
فَقَالَ لَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَنْهَى عَبْداً إِذَا صَلَّى وَ لَكِنَّا نُحَدِّثُهُمْ بِمَا شَهِدْنَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ص أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ.
He-asws said: ‘I-asws don’t want to forbid a servant when he is praying Salat, but we should narrate to them with what we have witnessed from the Prophet-saww, or just as he-saww had said’’.[36]
15- الْهِدَايَةُ، قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع مَنْ فَاتَهُ التَّكْبِيرُ أَوْ نَسِيَهُ فَلْيُكَبِّرْ حِينَ يَذْكُرُ
(The book) ‘Al-Hidaya’ –
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘One who misses the Takbeer or forgets it, let him exclaim Takbeer when he does remember it’.
وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع لَيْلَةُ الْفِطَرِ- اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يَسْتَوْفِي فِيهَا الْأَجِيرُ أَجْرَهُ وَ التَّكْبِيرُ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ بِالْأَمْصَارِ فِي عَشْرِ صَلَوَاتٍ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘Night of (Eid) Al-Fitr is the night in which the worker is fulfilled his recompense, and the Takbeer in the days of Al-Tashreeq (11th to 13th Zilhajj) with the cities in ten Salat(s), from Salat Al-Zohr on the day of the sacrifice up to the morning Salat during the third day.
لِأَنَّهُ إِذَا نَفَرَ النَّاسُ مِنْ مِنًى فِي النَّفْرِ الْأَوَّلِ وَجَبَ عَلَى أَهْلِ الْأَمْصَارِ قَطْعُ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ التَّكْبِيرُ فِي خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ صَلَاةً مِنْ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ مِنْ يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ إِلَى صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الرَّابِعِ وَ مَنْ فَاتَهُ فَلْيُعِدْ
(This is) because, when the people disperse from during the first dispersal, it is obligatory upon people of the cities to terminate the Takbeer, and the Takbeer is in fifteen Salat(s) from Salat Al-Zohr on the day of the sacrifice up to the morning Salat during the fourth day; and one who misses it, let him repeat’.
وَ يُقَالُ التَّكْبِيرُ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ ثَلَاثُ مَرَّاتٍ.
And it is said, ‘The Takbeer is during end of every Salat, three times’’.[37]

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Al Saffar, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Ali Bin Mahiyar, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareez, from Zurara who said,
‘I said to Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘The Takbeer during the days of Al-Tashreeq (11th to 13th Zilhajj) in the end of the Salat(s)’.
قَالَ التَّكْبِيرُ بِمِنًى فِي دُبُرِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ صَلَاةً وَ بِالْأَمْصَارِ فِي دُبُرِ عَشْرِ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ أَوَّلُ التَّكْبِيرِ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَاةِ الظُّهْرِ يَوْمَ النَّحْرِ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنَا مِنْ بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ-
He-asws said: ‘The Takbeer at Mina in the end of fifteen Salat(s), and with the cities in end of fifteen Salat(s), and the first Takbeer is in end of Salat Al-Zohr on the day of the sacrifice. You should say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest and for Allah-azwj is the Praise! Allah-azwj is Greatest upon what He-azwj has Guided us, and Allah-azwj is Greatest upon what He-azwj has Graced us from the beasts, the cattle!’
وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ فِي سَائِرِ الْأَمْصَارِ فِي دُبُرِ عَشْرِ صَلَوَاتٍ التَّكْبِيرُ أَنَّهُ إِذَا نَفَرَ النَّاسُ فِي النَّفْرِ الْأَوَّلِ أَمْسَكَ أَهْلُ الْأَمْصَارِ عَنِ التَّكْبِيرِ وَ كَبَّرَ أَهْلُ مِنًى مَا دَامُوا بِمِنًى إِلَى النَّفْرِ الْأَخِيرِ.
And rather, the Takbeer is made to be in the end of fifteen Salat(s) in the (other) cities because when the people disperse in the first dispersal, the people of the cities withhold from the Takbeer, and people of Mina exclaim Takbeer for as long as they are in Mina up to the other dispersal’’.[39]
18- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ كُلِّهِمْ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى مِثْلَهُ.

He-asws said: ‘The day of sacrifice Salat Al-Zohr up to termination of ten Salat(s), and for people of Mina is in fifteen Salat(s). If he stands to Al-Zohr and Al-Asr, he should exclaim Takbeer’’.[42]

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And which nights?’ He-asws mention the night of Al-Azha’’.[44]
بيان: لعل المراد بليالي الأضحى ليلة العيد و ليلتان بعدها.
Explanation – Perhaps the intent is the night of Al-Azha, the night of Eid and two nights after it.

Tafseer of the Imam (Hassan Al-Askari-asws) – He-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘For Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic there are Choices from all what He-azwj has Creator. As for His-azwj Choice from the nights – the night of Friday, and the night in the middle of Shaban, and Laylat Al-Qadr, and two nights of the Eid(s); and as for His-azwj Choice from the days – the days of the Friday and the Eid(s)!’’[45]

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me every sin I have sinned and forgotten it, and it is with You-azwj in the Clarifying Book!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَبِّرْ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ وَ صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ كَمَا تُكَبِّرُ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَبْلَانَا-
Then say one hundred times, ‘I repent to Allah-azwj’, and exclaim Takbeer after Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha the last, and the morning Salat, and the Eid Salat just as You-azwj exclaim Takbeer in the days of Al-Tashreeq (11th to 13th Zilhajj) saying, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah‑azwj is the Praise! Allah-azwj is Greatest upon what He-azwj has Guided us, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj has Bestowed us!’’

And do not say in it, ‘And Graced us from the beasts, the cattle’, for that is during the days of Al-Tashreeq’’.[46]

And in (Eid) Al-Azha at the cities (other than Mina) in end of ten Salat(s), he should begin with it from Al-Zohr Salat on the day of sacrifice up to the morning Salat on the third day, and at Mina at the end of fifteen Salat(s).

And I asked him-asws about a man entering (the Salat) with the prayer leader, and he had preceded him by one Cycle, so the prayer leader exclaims Takbeer when he performs Salaam, in the days of Al-Tashreeq, ‘How should the man deal with it?’

‘From the Prophet-saww, from Jibraeel-as, from Israfeel-as, from his-as Lord-azwj Blessed and Exalted having Said: “One who prays ten Cycles Salat on the night of (Eid) Al-Fitr, reciting in each Cycle with Surah Al Fatiha, and Al Tawheed ten times, and he should say in his Ruk’u and his Sajdah, ‘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!’
ثُمَّ يَتَشَهَّدُ وَ يُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا قَالَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ
Then he should perform Tashahhud and Salaam between every two Cycles. When he is free from it, he should say a thousand times, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and I repent to Him‑azwj!’
وَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ- يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَوْمِي وَ صَلَاتِي وَ قِيَامِي-
And he should say in his Sajdah, ‘O Living, O Eternal, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and their Mercier, O most Merciful of the merciful ones! O God-azwj of the former ones and the latter ones! Forgive my sins for me and Accept my fasts and my Salat and my standing!’

Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘By the One Who Sent me with the truth as a Prophet-saww! He will not raise his head from the Sajdah until Allah-azwj will Forgive (his sins) for him, and Accept from him (worship of) the month of Ramazan, and Overlook from his sins, and even if he had sinned seventy sins, each sin from it being major, from sins of entirety of the servants!’

He-as said: ‘Yes! By the One Who Sent you-saww with the truth as a Prophet-saww! O Muhammad‑saww! It is from his prestige to Allah-azwj and magnificence of his status, He-azwj will Accept from him and from them, and He-azwj will Accept from entirety of the Unitarians in what is between the east and the west, their Salat(s) and their fasts, and Forgive their sins for them, and Answer them supplications after their having revived it!’

By the One-azwj Who Send me with the truth! One who prays these Salat(s) and seeks Forgiveness with this seeking of Forgiveness, Allah-azwj will Accept his Salat, and his fasts, and his standing, and Forgive (sins) for him, and Answer his supplication, because Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Said in His-azwj Book: And seek Forgiveness of your Lord repenting to Him, surely my Lord is Merciful, Affectionate [11:90]!
وَ قَالَ وَ الَّذِينَ إِذا فَعَلُوا فاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ-
And Said: And those when they are committing an indecency or doing injustice to their own selves, are remembering Allah and asking Forgiveness for their sins – and who Forgives the sins except Allah? [3:135].
وَ قَالَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ-
And Said: And seek Forgiveness of Allah, surely He is Forgiving, Merciful [73:20].
وَ قَالَ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كانَ تَوَّاباً
And Said: Then Glorify with Praise of your Lord and seek His Forgiveness, He was always oft-returning (to Mercy) [110:3].

‘From Salman Al Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy him-ra, said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘There is no servant who prays six Cycles on the Eid Salat except he would intercede regarding his family members, all of them, and even if the Hellfire had been obligated for them’.
قَالُوا وَ لِمَ ذَاكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ-
They said, ‘And why is that so, O Rasool-Allah-saww?’
قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْمُحْسِنَ لَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الشَّفَاعَةِ إِنَّمَا الشَّفَاعَةُ لِكُلِّ هَالِكٍ
He (s.aw.) said: ‘Because the good doer is not needy to the intercession. But rather, the intercession is for every destroyed one!’
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ.
He-asws said: ‘Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws recited in every Cycle, Surah Al Tawheed five times’’.[54]
الإقبال، مثل الخبرين معا مع اختصار و روى الأول من كتاب الكافي غير الكليني أيضا.
(The book) ‘Al-Iqbal’, similar to the two Ahadeeth together, along with the brevity, and the first from the book ‘Al-Kafi’ has been reported by other than Al-Kulayni also.[55]
32- ثَوَابُ الْأَعْمَالِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَكْرٍ الْفَارِسِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُصْعَبٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ الْعِيدِ لَمْ يَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ.
(The book) ‘Sawaab Al Amaal’ – from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Ismail Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Muhammad Bin Bakr Al Farsi, from Muhammad Bin Mus’ab, from Hammad, from Sabit, from Anas (well known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who revives (stays awake worshipping) on the night of Eid, his heart will no die the hearts will did’’.[56]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ فَضَالَةَ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ كُرْدُوسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ الْعِيدِ وَ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ لَمْ يَمُتْ قَلْبُهُ يَوْمَ تَمُوتُ الْقُلُوبُ.
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Ibrahim, from Muhammad Bin Abdullah, from Yahya Bin Usman, from Ibn Bukeyr, from Al Mufazzal Bin Fazalat, from Isa Bin Ibrahim, from Salama Bin Suleyman, from Marwan Bin Salim, from Ibn Kurdous, from his father who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who revives (stays awake worshipping) the night of Eid, and night of the middle of Shaban, his heart will not die on the day the hearts will die’’.[57]
33- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا ع، قَالَ أَكْثِرُوا مِنْ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ص فِي لَيْلَةِ الْفِطْرِ فَإِنَّهُ لَيْلَةٌ يُوَفَّى فِيهَا الْأَجِيرُ أَجْرَهُ.
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’, he-asws said: ‘Frequent from Zikr of Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty, and the Salawaat upon His-azwj Rasool-saww, for it is a night the worker is fulfilled his wages (Rewards)’’.[58]
وَ أَرْوِي عَنِ الْعَالِمِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ وَ عَلَا يُعْتِقُ فِي أَوَّلِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سِتَّ مِائَةَ أَلْفَ عَتِيقٍ مِنَ النَّارِ فَإِذَا كَانَ الْعَشْرُ الْأَوَاخِرُ أَعْتَقَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْتَقَ فِي الْعِشْرِينَ الْمَاضِيَةِ فَإِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْفِطْرِ أَعْتَقَ مِنَ النَّارِ مِثْلَ مَا أَعْتَقَ فِي سَائِرِ الشَّهْرِ
It is reported from the Scholar-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty and Exalted, Liberates in first night of a month of Ramazan six hundred thousand slaves from the Hellfire. When it is the ten last (nights), He-azwj Liberates every night of it similar to what He-azwj had Liberated in the past twenty. When it is the night of Al-Fitr, He-azwj Liberates from the Hellfire similar to what He-azwj had Liberated in rest of the month.
وَ اجْتَهِدُوا فِي لَيْلَةِ الْفِطْرِ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَ السَّهَرِ وَ صَلُّوا رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَءُونَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى- بِأُمِّ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً
And strive during the night of Al-Fitr in the supplicating and holding vigil, and pray two Cycles Salat reciting in the first Cycle Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Tawheed a thousand times, and in the second, one time’.
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
And it has been reported, four Cycles, reciting Surah Al Tawheed one hundred times in each Cycle.
وَ قَالَ ع إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْفِطْرِ صَلَّيْتَ الْمَغْرِبَ ثَلَاثاً وَ سَجَدْتَ وَ قُلْتَ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ وَ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ وَ يَا ذَا الْحَوْلِ يَا مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ نَاصِرَهُ صَلِّ يَا اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ سَلِّمْ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ نَسِيتُهُ وَ هُوَ عِنْدَكَ فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ-
And he-asws said: ‘When it was the night of Laylat Al Qadr, I-asws prayed Al-Maghrib three (Cycles) and did Sajdah, and I-asws said: ‘O with the Leniency, and O with the Generosity, and O with the Might! O Chooser of Muhammad-saww and his-saww Helper! O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon his-saww Progeny-asws, and Greetings, and Forgive every sin for me I have sinned I have forgotten and it is with You-azwj in a Clarifying Book!’
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ أَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ كَبِّرْ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الْغَدَاةِ وَ لِصَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ وَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ كَمَا تُكَبِّرُ أَيَّامَ التَّشْرِيقِ تَقُولُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَانَا وَ أَبْلَانَا وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بُكْرَةً وَ أَصِيلًا-
Then you should say one hundred times, ‘I repent to Allah-azwj’, and exclaim Takbeer after Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha the last, and the morning, and for the Eid Salat, and Al-Zohr, and Al-Asr just as you had exclaimed in the days of Al-Tashreeq. You should say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest upon what He-azwj Guided us, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon what He-azwj Bestowed us, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj morning and evening!’
وَ الَّذِي يُسْتَحَبُّ الْإِفْطَارُ عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ الْفِطْرِ الزَّبِيبُ وَ التَّمْرُ وَ أَرْوِي عَنِ الْعَالِمِ ع الْإِفْطَارُ عَلَى السُّكَّرِ
And that which is recommended is breaking the fast upon it on the day of Al-Fitr with the raisins and the dates, and it is recommended from the Scholar-asws to break the fast upon the sugar.
And it is reported, the best of what one can break fast upon is clay of the grave of Al-Husayn‑asws.
وَ رُوِيَ أَفْضَلُ مَا يُفْطَرُ عَلَيْهِ طِينُ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ لِلْفِطْرِ تَشْرِيقاً كَتَشْرِيقِ الْأَضْحَى فَيُسْتَحَبُّ فِيهِ الذَّبِيحَةُ كَمَا يُسْتَحَبُّ فِي الْأَضْحَى وَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ يَوْمَ الْعِيدِ وَ ابْعُدُوا إِلَى مَوَاضِعِ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الْبُرُوزِ إِلَى تَحْتِ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْوُقُوفِ تَحْتَهَا إِلَى وَقْتِ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَ الدُّعَاءِ.
And it is reported that for Al-Fitr there are (days of) Tashreeq like (days of) Tashreeq of Al-Azha, so the sacrificial offering is recommended in it just as it is recommended in Al-Azha; and upon you is with exclaiming the Takbeer on the day of Eid, and go out to the place of Salat and go out to beneath the (open) sky, and the standing beneath it up to the time of being free from the Salat and the supplication’’.[59]
بيان: الأضحية في الفطر غريب لم أجده في غير هذا الخبر و لم أر قائلا به.
Explanation – The sacrificial offering in (Eid) Al-Fitr is strange, and I did not find in other than this report, and I have not seen anyone speaking with it.
34- الْعَيَّاشِيُّ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ النَّقَّاشِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْفِطْرِ لَتَكْبِيراً وَ لَكِنَّهُ مَسْتُورٌ يُكَبِّرُ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ لَيْلَةَ الْفِطْرِ وَ فِي الْعَتَمَةِ وَ الْفَجْرِ وَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْعِيدِ وَ هُوَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ وَ لِتُكْمِلُوا الْعِدَّةَ وَ لِتُكَبِّرُوا اللَّهَ عَلى ما هَداكُمْ-
Al Ayyashi, from Saeed Al Naqqash who said,
‘I heard Abu Abdullah-asws, he-asws said: ‘In (Eid) Al-Fitr there is Takbeer, but it is concealed. He should exclaim Takbeer in Al-Maghrib on the night of (Eid) Al-Fitr, and in Al-Atma (Isha), and Al-Fajr, and in the Eid Salat, and it is Word of Allah-azwj: for you to exclaim the Greatness of Allah upon what He has Guided you, and perhaps you would be thanking [2:185].
وَ التَّكْبِيرُ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ-
And the Takbeer is, you should be saying, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! There is no god except Allah-azwj and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and for Allah-azwj is the Praise!’
قَالَ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو التَّكْبِيرُ الْأَخِيرُ أَرْبَعُ مَرَّاتٍ.
He-asws said in a report by Abu Amro: ‘The Takbeer at the end is four times’’.[60]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْفِطْرِ تَكْبِيراً
And from him, from Saeed,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘In (Eid) Al-Fitr there is Takbeer!’
قَالَ قُلْتُ مَا تَكْبِيرٌ إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ النَّحْرِ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘There is no Takbeer except on the day of the sacrifice!’
قَالَ فِيهِ تَكْبِيرٌ وَ لَكِنَّهُ مَسْنُونٌ فِي الْمَغْرِبِ وَ الْعِشَاءِ وَ الْفَجْرِ وَ الظُّهْرِ وَ الْعَصْرِ وَ رَكْعَتَيِ الْعِيدِ.
He-asws said: ‘There is Takbeer in it, but it is enacted in Al-Maghrib, and Al-Isha, and Al-Fajr, and Al-Asr, and two Cycle Salat of Eid’’.[61]

CHAPTER 108 – THE MISCELLANEOUS
1- مَجَالِسُ الصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَتِّيلٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ لَطِيفٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: لَمَّا ضُرِبَ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ع ثُمَّ ابْتُدِرَ لِيُقْطَعَ رَأْسُهُ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى مِنْ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ فَقَالَ أَلَا أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ الْمُتَحَيِّرَةُ الظَّالِمَةُ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّهَا لَا وَفَّقَكُمُ اللَّهُ لِأَضْحًى وَ لَا فِطْرٍ
(The book) ‘Majalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Al-Hassan Bin Mateel, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from Al-Hassan Bin Fazzal, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami, from Abdullah Bin Lateef,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘When Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws was struck, then there was a rush to cut off his-asws head, a caller called out from the direction of the Lord-azwj of Mighty Blessed and Exalted from interior of the Throne. He said: ‘Indeed, O you community of the bewildered, the oppressors after its Prophet-saww! May Allah-azwj not Harmonise you, neither to (Eid) Al-Azha nor (Eid) Al-Fitr!’
قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَا جَرَمَ وَ اللَّهِ مَا وُفِّقُوا وَ لَا يُوَفَّقُونَ أَبَداً حَتَّى يَقُومَ ثَائِرُ الْحُسَيْنِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullah-asws said: ‘No doubt, by Allah-azwj, they will not harmonise, nor will they be harmonising ever until the retaliator of Al-Husayn-asws rises!’’[62]
2- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنِ الْكُلَيْنِيِّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ لَطِيفٍ عَنْ رَزِينٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع مِثْلَهُ.
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Ali Bin Ahmad, from Al Kulayni, from Ali Bin Muhammad, from the one who mention it, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman, from Abdullah Bin Lateef, from Razeyn,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws – similar to it’’.[63]
بيان: حمله الأكثر على أن المعنى أنه يشتبه الهلال فلا يوفقون لأعمال الفطر و الأضحى في اليوم الواقعي فلا بد من حمله على الغالب أو على أن الاشتباه يقع أكثر مما سبق و الذي يخطر بالبال أن المراد أنهم لا يوفقون لإدراك الفطر و الأضحى مع إمام الحق
Explanation – The most plausible interpretation is that there is doubt regarding the sighting of the crescent moon, so they are unable to perform the acts of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha on the actual day. Therefore, it must be attributed to the likelihood that the confusion occurs more often than not. What comes to mind is that they are unable to determine the timing of Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha with the true Imam-asws.
إذ العيد إنما جعل ليفوز الناس بخدمة الإمام ع و يتعظوا بمواعظه و يسمعوا منه أحكام دينهم فبعد ذلك لم يظهر إمام على المخالفين و لم يوفقوا لإيقاع صلاة العيد مع إمام إما لاستيلاء المخالفين أو غيبة إمام المؤمنين و هو أظهر و لا يحتاج إلى تكلف.
The purpose of the Eid is to enable people to benefit from the guidance of the true Imam-asws, to be admonished by his sermons, and to hear the religious rulings from him. After that, no Imam appeared for those who opposed him, and they were unable to establish the Eid prayer with the Imam-asws, either due to the opposition taking control or the absence of the Imam-asws of the believers. He is more apparent and does not require any effort.
3- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ سَعْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ حَنَانِ بْنِ سَدِيرٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ: يَا عَبْدَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْ عِيدٍ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ أَضْحًى وَ لَا فِطْرٍ إِلَّا وَ هُوَ يَتَجَدَّدُ فِيهِ لآِلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص حُزْنٌ
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – From his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al-Hassan, from Amro Bin Usman, from Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from Abdullah Bin Dinar,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws said: ‘O Abdullah! There is none from an Eid of the Muslims, neither Azha nor Fitr, except and during it the grief of Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww is renewed during it!’
قُلْتُ فَلِمَ
I said, ‘Why?’
قَالَ لِأَنَّهُمْ يَرَوْنَ حَقَّهُمْ فِي يَدِ غَيْرِهِمْ.
He-asws said: ‘Because they-asws are seeing their-asws rights being in the hands of others’’.[64]
بيان: حزنهم ع ليس لحب الجاه و الرئاسة بل للشفقة على الأمة حيث يرون الناس في الحيرة و الضلالة و لا يمكنهم هدايتهم أو لأنه يفوت عنهم بعض الأمور الذي أمروا به اضطرارا
Explanation – Their-asws sadness is not due to the love of power and leadership but rather out of compassion for the community. They-asws see people in confusion and misguidance, and they cannot guide them either because they-asws are not in a position to do so or because some matters that they have been commanded to address are neglected.
و هذا مما يوجب الحزن و إن كان ثوابهم في تلك الحال أكثر كما أن من فاتته صلاة الليل لنوم أو عذر يتحسر لذلك مع أنه يثاب بهذه الحسرة أكثر من ثواب أصل الفعل و الأول أظهر و ربما يؤيد ما ذكرنا في الخبر الأول.
This, in itself, necessitates sorrow, even though their reward in such a situation is greater. It is akin to someone who misses the night Salat due to sleep or a valid excuse. They lament this despite being Rewarded more for the regret than for the initial act. The latter is more apparent, and perhaps it supports what we mentioned in the first statement.
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Ashary, from Al Sayyari, from Muhammad Bin Ismail Al Razy,
4- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنِ السَّيَّارِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ الرَّازِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا تَقُولُ فِي الْعَامَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَنَّهُمْ لَا يُوَفَّقُونَ لِصَوْمٍ
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws the 2nd, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What are you-asws saying regarding the general Muslims? It is been reported that they will never be harmonising for fasting (on the correct day)!’
فَقَالَ لِي أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ قَدْ أُجِيبَتْ دَعْوَةُ الْمَلَكِ فِيهِمْ
He-asws said to me: ‘But they are such because the supplication of the Angel has been Answered regarding them’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ كَيْفَ ذَلِكَ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘And how is that so? May I be sacrificed for you-asws!’
قَالَ إِنَّ النَّاسَ لَمَّا قَتَلُوا الْحُسَيْنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ ع- أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مَلَكاً يُنَادِي أَيَّتُهَا الْأُمَّةُ الظَّالِمَةُ الْقَاتِلَةُ عِتْرَةَ نَبِيِّهَا- لَا وَفَّقَكُمُ اللَّهُ لِصَوْمٍ وَ لَا فِطْرٍ.
He-asws said: ‘When the people killed Al-Husayn-asws Bin Ali-asws, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded an Angel to call out: ‘O you community of oppressors, the killers of family of its Prophet-saww! May Allah-azwj neither Harmonise you to fasting (sighting the crescent) nor breaking (Eid Al-Fitr)!’’[65]
وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ لِفِطْرٍ وَ لَا أَضْحًى.
And in another Hadeeth: ‘Neither to (Eid) Al-Fitr nor (Eid) Al-Azha’’.
بيان: هذا الخبر لا ينافي ما ذكرنا في الخبر الأول لأن الصوم أيضا مع الإمام الظاهر أكمل و أفضل و منه ع يؤخذ أحكامه و آدابه و تقام معه الفرائض المكملة له
Explanation – This news does not contradict what we mentioned in the first report, as fasting with the apparent Imam-asws is more complete and superior. From him-asws, the rules and etiquettes of fasting are derived, and the complementary obligations are performed with him‑asws.
و العامة لعدم الولاية لا يصح منهم الصوم و يفطرون قبل محله على المشهور و يوقعون ما يفسده غالبا و هذا أنسب بالعموم المستفاد من النكرة في سياق النفي.
And (as for) the general Muslims, due to their lack of Wilayah, their fasting is not valid. They break their fast before its proper time, as is commonly known, and they often engage in actions that invalidate it. Generally, this is more suitable in the context of negation.
5- نَهْجُ الْبَلَاغَةِ، قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع فِي بَعْضِ الْأَعْيَادِ إِنَّمَا هُوَ عِيدٌ لِمَنْ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى صِيَامَهُ وَ شَكَرَ قِيَامَهُ وَ كُلُّ يَوْمٍ لَا يُعْصَى اللَّهُ فِيهِ فَهُوَ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ.
(The book) ‘Nahj Al Balagah’ –
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws said regarding one of the Eid(s): ‘But rather it is an Eid for the one whom Allah-azwj has Accepted his fasts, and Appreciated his standing (in Salat), and every day in which we do not disobey Allah-azwj, to it is a day of Eid’’.[66]

تفسير رَوَى الْبَرْقِيُ وَ الْمُفِيدُ بِسَنَدَيْهِمَا عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ هَلْ يُكْرَهُ الْجِمَاعُ فِي وَقْتٍ مِنَ الْأَوْقَاتِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ حَلَالًا
Interpretation (Ahadeeth only) – It is reported by Al-Barqy and Al-Mufeed, by their chains from Abdul Rahman Bin Salim, from his father, ‘From Abu Ja’far-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him-asws, ‘Is having sex disliked during any time from the timings, and even if it was Permissible?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ مَا بَيْنَ طُلُوعِ الْفَجْرِ إِلَى طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ وَ مِنْ مَغِيبِ الشَّمْسِ إِلَى مَغِيبِ الشَّفَقِ وَ فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي تَنْكَسِفُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي يَنْكَسِفُ فِيهَا الْقَمَرُ وَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِيهَا الرِّيحُ السَّوْدَاءُ وَ الرِّيحُ الْحَمْرَاءُ وَ الرِّيحُ الصَّفْرَاءُ وَ فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ الَّتِي تَكُونُ فِيهَا الزَّلْزَلَةُ
He-asws said: ‘Yes, what is between the emergence of dawn up to emergence of the sun, and from disappearance of the sun up to disappearance of the twilight, and during the day which there is a sun eclipse in it, and during the night in which there is a moon eclipse in it, and during the day and the night in which there happens to be the black wind and the red wind and the yellow wind, and during the day and the night in which there happens to be an earthquake.
وَ لَقَدْ بَاتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص عِنْدَ بَعْضِ نِسَائِهِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ انْكَسَفَ فِيهَا الْقَمَرُ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنْهُ فِي غَيْرِهَا حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ- أَ لِبُغْضٍ هَذَا مِنْكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ
And Rasool-Allah-saww had spent a night with one of his-saww wives during a night in which the moon was eclipsed. So, there did not happen from him-saww what would happen from him-saww in other (nights) until morning. She said to him-saww, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Is it due to hatred of this from you-saww during this night?’
قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ ظَهَرَتْ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فَكَرِهْتُ أَنْ أَتَلَذَّذَ وَ أَلْهُوَ فِيهَا وَ قَدْ عَيَّرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَقْوَاماً فِي كِتَابِهِ فَقَالَ وَ إِنْ يَرَوْا كِسْفاً مِنَ السَّماءِ ساقِطاً يَقُولُوا سَحابٌ مَرْكُومٌ- فَذَرْهُمْ يَخُوضُوا وَ يَلْعَبُوا- حَتَّى يُلاقُوا يَوْمَهُمُ الَّذِي فِيهِ يُصْعَقُونَ
He-saww said: ‘No, but this sign appeared during this night, so I-saww disliked to derive pleasure and play in it, and Allah-azwj the Exalted has Faulted some people in His-azwj Book. He-azwj Said: And if they should see pieces of the sky falling down, they would be saying: ‘Piled up clouds’ [52:44] So leave them – engaging in vanities and playing – until they meet their Day in which they would be fainting [52:45]’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ ايْمُ اللَّهِ لَا يُجَامِعُ أَحَدٌ فَيُرْزَقُ وَلَداً فَيَرَى فِي وَلَدِهِ ذَلِكَ مَا يُحِبُّ.
Then Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘And I-asws swear by Allah-azwj! No one will have sex and is Graced a child, so he will see in that child of his what he loves!’’
1- كِتَابُ الْمَسَائِلِ، وَ قُرْبُ الْإِسْنَادِ، بِسَنَدَيْهِمَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ أَخِيهِ مُوسَى ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ مَا حَدُّهُ
(The books) ‘Kitab Al-Masaail’, and ‘Qurb Al-Isnaad’, by their chains from Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws Musa-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about Salat of the eclipse, ‘What is its limit?’
قَالَ مَتَى أَحَبَّ وَ يَقْرَأُ مَا أَحَبَّ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ وَ يَرْكَعُ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ ثُمَّ يَسْجُدُ فِي الْخَامِسَةِ ثُمَّ يَقُومُ فَيَفْعَلُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ
He-asws said: ‘Whenever he likes, and recite whatever he likes, apart from he should recite and perform Ruk’u, four Ruk’u(s), then he should perform Sajdah in the fifth, then stand and say similar to that’.
قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ قَالَ تَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ فَإِذَا خَتَمْتَ سُورَةً وَ قَرَأْتَ فِي أُخْرَى فَاقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِنْ قَرَأْتَ سُورَةً فِي رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ فَلَا تَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَ السُّورَةَ وَ لَا تَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ رُكُوعِكَ إِلَّا الرَّكْعَةَ الَّتِي تَسْجُدُ فِيهَا-
He said, ‘And I asked him about the recitation in Salat of the solar eclipse. He-asws said: ‘Recite in each Cycle with Surah Al Fatiha. When you end a Surah (Chapter) and recite another, then recite Surah Al Fatiha, and if you recite a Surah in the two Cycles, or three, do not recite Surah Al Fatiha until you end the Surah, and do not say, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one praising Him-azwj’, in anything from your Ruk’u(s), except the Ruk’u in which you perform Sajdah’.
قَالَ وَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ هَلْ عَلَى مَنْ تَرَكَهَا قَضَاءٌ
He said, ‘And I asked him-asws about Salat of the solar eclipse, ‘Is there fulfilment (Qaza) upon the one who neglects it?’
قَالَ إِذَا فَاتَتْكَ فَلَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ فِيهَا قَضَاءٌ.
He-asws said: ‘When you miss it, there isn’t any fulfilment (Qaza) upon you regarding it’’.[67]
السَّرَائِرُ، نَقْلًا مِنْ جَامِعِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع مِثْلَ الْأَسْئِلَةِ وَ الْأَجْوِبَةِ الثَّلَاثَةِ سَوَاءً إِلَّا أَنَّ فِيهِ إِذَا خَتَمْتَ سُورَةً وَ بَدَأْتَ فِي أُخْرَى وَ فِي كِتَابِ الْمَسَائِلِ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ وَ يَقْرَأُ وَ يَرْكَعُ وَ يَقْرَأُ وَ يَرْكَعُ وَ يَقْرَأُ وَ يَرْكَعُ.
(The book) ‘Al Saraair’ – Copying from ‘Jamie’ of Al Bazanty,
‘From Al-Reza-asws, similar to the three questions and answers, same, except in it is: ‘When you end a Surah and change into another’, and in ‘Kitab Al-Masaail’, after his-asws words: ‘And he should recited and perform Ruk’u, and recite and perform Ruk’u, and recite and perform Ruk’u’’.[68]
2- الْمُقْنِعُ، إِذَا احْتَرَقَ الْقُرْصُ كُلُّهُ فَصَلِّهَا فِي جَمَاعَةٍ وَ إِنِ احْتَرَقَ بَعْضُهُ فَصَلِّهَا فُرَادَى.
(The book) ‘Al Muqnie’ –
‘If the entire disc (sun) is eclipsed, pray it in congregation, and if part of it is eclipsed, pray it individually’’.[69]
بيان: رَوَى الشَّيْخُ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي يَعْفُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ فَإِنَّهُ يَنْبَغِي لِلنَّاسِ أَنْ يَفْزَعُوا إِلَى إِمَامٍ لِيُصَلِّيَ بِهِمْ وَ أَيُّهُمَا كُسِفَ بَعْضُهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُجْزِي الرَّجُلَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ وَحْدَهُ.
Explanation – It is reported by the Sheykh, from Ibn Abu Yafour, ‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When the sun and the moon are eclipsed, it is befitting for the people that they panic to a prayer leader for him to pray with them, and whichever of the two gets eclipsed partly, it suffice the man to pray alone’’.
3- الْعِلَلُ، وَ الْمَجَالِسُ لِلصَّدُوقِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ مَاجِيلَوَيْهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ عِيسَى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ لَمَّا انْتَهَى إِلَى السَّدِّ جَاوَزَهُ فَدَخَلَ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِمَلَكٍ قَائِمٍ عَلَى جَبَلٍ طُولُهُ خَمْسُ مِائَةِ ذِرَاعٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ الْمَلَكُ يَا ذَا الْقَرْنَيْنِ أَ مَا كَانَ خَلْفَكَ مَسْلَكٌ
(The books) ‘Al Ilal’, and ‘Al Majaalis’ of Al Sadouq – from Muhammad Bin Ali Majaylawiya, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Al Ashary, from Isa Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Mahziyar, from Abdullah Bin Umar, from Abdullah Bin Hammad,
‘From Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws having said: ‘When Zulqarnain-as ended to the dam, he-as went beyond it into the darkness. There he-as was with an Angel standing upon a mountain. His height was of five hundred cubits. The Angel said to him-as, ‘O Zulqarnain-as! Wasn’t there any pathway behind you-as?’
فَقَالَ لَهُ ذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ مَنْ أَنْتَ
Zulqarnain-as said to him: ‘Who are you?’
قَالَ أَنَا مَلَكٌ مِنْ مَلَائِكَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَذَا الْجَبَلِ فَلَيْسَ مِنْ جَبَلٍ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا وَ لَهُ عِرْقٌ إِلَى هَذَا الْجَبَلِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ أَنْ يُزَلْزِلَ مَدِينَةً أَوْحَى إِلَيَّ فَزَلْزَلْتُهَا.
He said, ‘I am an Angel from Angels of the Beneficent allocated with this mountain. There isn’t any mountain Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Created except and there is a vein for it to this mountain. Whenever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wants to Shake a city, He-azwj Reveals to me, so I shake it’’.[70]
4- الْمَجَالِسُ، بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ قَالَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّ الصَّاعِقَةَ لَا تُصِيبُ ذَاكِراً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
(The book) ‘Al Majaalis’, by the previous chain, he said,
‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘The thunderbolt does not hit one doing Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[71]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السُّكَّرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زَكَرِيَّا الْجَوْهَرِيِّ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ الزَّلَازِلَ وَ الْكُسُوفَيْنِ وَ الرِّيَاحَ الْهَائِلَةَ مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ السَّاعَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ شَيْئاً مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَتَذَكَّرُوا قِيَامَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ افْزَعُوا إِلَى مَسَاجِدِكُمْ.
And from him, from Ahmad Bin Al-Hassan Al Qattan, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al Sukkary, from Muhammad Bin Zakariya Al Jowhary, from Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Umarah, from his father,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws father-asws having said: ‘The earthquake and the two eclipses, and the enormous winds are from signs of the Hour. Whenever you see something from that, recall establishment of the Day of Qiyamah and panic to your Masjid(s)’’.[72]
5- الْخِصَالُ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ جَدِّهِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَسَّانَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا فَشَتْ أَرْبَعَةٌ ظَهَرَتْ أَرْبَعَةٌ إِذَا فَشَى الزِّنَا ظَهَرَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ فَإِذَا أُمْسِكَتِ الزَّكَاةُ هَلَكَتِ الْمَاشِيَةُ وَ إِذَا جَارَ الْحُكَّامُ فِي الْقَضَاءِ أُمْسِكَ الْقَطْرُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ إِذَا خُفِرَتِ الذِّمَّةُ نُصِرَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ.
(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – from Ja’far Bin Ali, from his grandfather Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Ali Bin Hassan, from his uncle Abdul Rahman,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When four (matters) are widespread, four will appear. When the adultery is widespread the earthquakes will appear. When the Zakat is withheld the livelihoods will be destroyed, and when the rulers are tyrannous in the decrees the drops (rain) will be withheld, and when guarantees (by the Muslim government responsibility of the non-Muslims) is violated, the Polytheists will be victorious over the Muslims’’.[73]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَرْبَعَةُ صَلَوَاتٍ يُصَلِّيهَا الرَّجُلُ فِي كُلِّ سَاعَةٍ صَلَاةٌ فَاتَتْكَ فَمَتَى ذَكَرْتَهَا أَدَّيْتَهَا وَ صَلَاةُ رَكْعَتَيْ طَوَافِ الْفَرِيضَةِ وَ صَلَاةُ الْكُسُوفِ وَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى الْمَيِّتِ هَؤُلَاءِ يُصَلِّيهِنَّ الرَّجُلُ فِي السَّاعَاتِ كُلِّهَا.
And from him, from his father, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez, from Zurara who said,
‘Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Four Salat(s) the man can pray in all times – A Salat he has missed out so whenever he remembers it, he can fulfil it; and a Salat of two Cycles of the obligatory Tawaaf, and Salat of the eclipse, and the Salat upon the deceased. These, the man can pray in all the timings’’.[74]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مَعْرُوفٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ رِئَابٍ وَ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ مَعاً عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنِ الرِّيَاحِ الْأَرْبَعِ الشَّمَالِ وَ الْجَنُوبِ وَ الدَّبُورِ وَ الصَّبَا وَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ النَّاسَ يَذْكُرُونَ أَنَّ الشَّمَالَ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ الْجَنُوبَ مِنَ النَّارِ
And from him, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Saffar, from Al Abbas Bin Marouf, from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Ali Bin Ri’ab and Hisham Bin Salim, both together from Abu Baseer who said,
‘I asked Abu Ja’far-asws about the four winds, Al-Shimal (northern), and Al-Junoub (southern), and Al-Dabour, and Al-Saba, and I said to him-asws, ‘The people are mentioning that Al-Shimal is from the Paradise, and Al-Junoub is from the Hellfire!’
فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جُنُوداً مِنْ رِيَاحٍ يُعَذِّبُ بِهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ مِمَّنْ عَصَاهُ وَ لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مِنْهَا مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ بِهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ قَوْماً بِنَوْعٍ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ أَوْحَى إِلَى الْمَلَكِ الْمُوَكَّلِ بِذَلِكَ النَّوْعِ مِنَ الرِّيحِ الَّتِي يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُمْ بِهَا
For Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic there are armies of winds He-azwj Punishes by these the ones He-azwj so Desires to, from the ones who disobey Him-azwj, and for each wind from these there is an Angel allocated with it. Whenever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wants to Punish a people with a type of the Punishment, He-azwj Reveals to the Angel allocated with that type of wind which He-azwj Wants to Punish them with’.
قَالَ فَيَأْمُرُهَا الْمَلَكُ فَتَهِيجُ كَمَا يَهِيجُ الأسف المغصب [الْأَسَدُ الْمُغْضَبُ] وَ لِكُلِّ رِيحٍ مِنْهَا اسْمٌ أَ مَا تَسْمَعُ قَوْلَهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- كَذَّبَتْ عادٌ فَكَيْفَ كانَ عَذابِي وَ نُذُرِ-
He-asws said: ‘So the Angel orders it, so it clamours like the angry lions, and for every wind from these there is a name. Have you not heard Words of Mighty and Majestic: (People of) Ad belied, so how was My Punishment and Warning? [54:18]’.
وَ ذَكَرَ رِيَاحاً فِي الْعَذَابِ ثُمَّ قَالَ فالريح [فَرِيحُ] الشَّمَالِ وَ رِيحُ الصَّبَا وَ رِيحُ الْجَنُوبِ وَ رِيحُ الدَّبُورِ أَيْضاً تُضَافُ إِلَى الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُوَكَّلِينَ بِهَا.
And he-asws mentioned the winds of Punishment, then said: ‘The Al-Shimal wind, and Al-Saba wind, and Al-Junoub wind, and Al-Dabour wind also are added to the Angel allocated with it’’.[75]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: الْغُسْلُ فِي سَبْعَةَ عَشَرَ مَوْطِناً إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ وَ غُسْلُ الْكُسُوفِ إِذَا احْتَرَقَ الْقُرْصُ كُلُّهُ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتَ وَ لَمْ تُصَلِّ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ اقْضِ الصَّلَاةَ.
And from him, from his father, from Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Hammad, from Hareez, from Muhammad Bin Muslim,
‘From Abu Ja’far-asws having said: ‘The bathing is in seventeen places’ – up to he-asws said: ‘Bathing of the eclipse when the entire disc (of the sun) is eclipsed, so wake up and do not pray Salat. (First) bathe and fulfil the Salat’’.[76]
6- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِع قَالَ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ الْأَرْضَ فَأَمَرَ الْحُوتَ فَحَمَلَتْهَا فَقَالَتْ حَمَلْتُهَا بِقُوَّتِي فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حُوتاً قَدْرَ شِبْرٍ فَدَخَلَتْ فِي مَنْخِرِهَا فَاضْطَرَبَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ صَبَاحاً فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُزَلْزِلَ أَرْضاً تَرَاءَتْ لَهَا تِلْكَ الْحُوتُ الصَّغِيرَةُ فَزَلْزَلَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَرَقاً.
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from his father, from Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya, from Yaqoub Bin Yazeed, from one of his companions, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from the one who mentioned it,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Created the earth and Commanded the whale to carry it. It said, ‘I am carrying it by my strength!’ So, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Sent a fish the measurement of a palm’s width. It entered into its nostrils. It was restless for forty mornings. Whenever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wants to Shake the earth, that small fish appears to it, so the earth shakes, splitting apart’’.[77]
7- الْعِلَلُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنِ الصَّفَّارِ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ ع أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَمَرَ الْحُوتَ بِحَمْلِ الْأَرْضِ وَ كُلُّ بَلْدَةٍ مِنَ الْبُلْدَانِ عَلَى فَلْسٍ مِنْ فُلُوسِهِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يُزَلْزِلَ أَرْضاً أَمَرَ الْحُوتَ أَنْ يُحَرِّكَ ذَلِكَ الْفَلْسَ فَيُحَرِّكُهُ وَ لَوْ رُفِعَ الْفَلْسُ لَانْقَلَبَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ.
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Al Saffar,
‘Raising it to one of them-asws: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Commanded the fish to carry the earth and every city from the cities upon a scale from its scales. Whenever Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Wants to shake the earth, He-azwj Commands the fist to move that scale, so it moves it, and it the scale is raised, the earth would overturn, by the Permission of Allah-azwj!’’[78]

(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Yahya Al Attar, from his father, from Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya Al Ashary, from Al Haysam Bin Abu Masrouq Al Nahdy, from one of our companions, raising it, said,
‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws had recited: Surely, Allah Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving’ [35:41], saying it during the earthquake; and he-asws said: and He Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His Permission? Surely Allah, with the people, is Kind, Merciful [22:65]’’.[79]
وَ مِنْهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع وَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَيْهِ كَثْرَةَ الزَّلَازِلِ فِي الْأَهْوَازِ وَ قُلْتُ تَرَى لَنَا التَّحَوُّلَ عَنْهَا
And from him, by the previous chain from Al Ashari, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Mahziyar who said,
‘I wrote to Abu Ja’far-asws and complained to him-asws of the frequent earthquakes in Al-Ahvaz, and I said, ‘Do you-asws view for us to transfer away from it?’
فَكَتَبَ لَا تَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْهَا وَ صُومُوا الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ اغْتَسِلُوا وَ طَهِّرُوا ثِيَابَكُمْ وَ أَبْرِزُوا يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ ادْعُوا اللَّهَ فَإِنَّهُ يَرْفَعُ عَنْكُمْ
He-asws wrote: ‘Do not transfer away from it, and fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and bathes and clean your clothes, and go out on the day of Friday and supplicate to Allah-azwj, for He-azwj will Raise it from you all’.
قَالَ فَفَعَلْنَا فَأُمْسِكَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ
He said, ‘We did it, and the earthquakes withheld’.
قَالَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْكُمْ مُذْنِبٌ فَيَتُوبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ دَعَا لَهُمْ بِخَيْرٍ.
He-asws said: ‘And the one from you who was a sinner, he should repent to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and supplicate for them for goodness’’.[80]
وَ مِنْهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ الدَّيْلَمِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنِ الزَّلْزَلَةِ مَا هِيَ
And from him by the chain from Al Ashary, from Ibrahim Bin Is’haq, from Muhammad Bin Suleyman Al Daylami who said,
‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws about the earthquake, ‘What is it?’
قَالَ آيَةٌ
He-asws said: ‘A sign!’
قُلْتُ وَ مَا سَبَبُهَا
I said, ‘And what it its cause?’
قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى وَكَّلَ بِعُرُوقِ الْأَرْضِ مَلَكاً فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُزَلْزِلَ أَرْضاً أَوْحَى إِلَى ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكِ أَنْ حَرِّكْ عُرُوقَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا
He-asws said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted has Allocated an Angel with veins of the earth. When He-azwj Wants to Shake a land, He-azwj Reveals to that Angel to stir such and such vein’.
قَالَ فَيُحَرِّكُ ذَلِكَ الْمَلَكُ عُرُوقَ تِلْكَ الْأَرْضِ الَّتِي أَمَرَهُ اللَّهُ فَتَتَحَرَّكُ بِأَهْلِهَا
He-asws said: ‘So that Angel stirs a vein of that land which Allah-azwj which Allah-azwj had Commanded him, so is moves with its inhabitants’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَمَا أَصْنَعُ
He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘When that were to happen, what should I do?’
قَالَ صَلِّ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ خَرَرْتَ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ يَا مَنْ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً أَمْسِكْ عَنَّا السُّوءَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
He-asws said: ‘Pray Salat of the eclipse. When you are free, fall into Sajdah and say in your Sajdah, ‘O One Who Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving’ [35:41]! Withhold the evil from us, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[81]
9- الْعِلَلُ، بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عَنِ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الرَّازِيِّ عَنِ الْبَزَنْطِيِّ عَنْ رَوْحِ بْنِ صَالِحٍ عَنْ هَارُونَ بْنِ خَارِجَةَ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ فَاطِمَةَ ع قَالَتْ أَصَابَ النَّاسَ زَلْزَلَةٌ عَلَى عَهْدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ فَزِعَ النَّاسُ إِلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرَ فَوَجَدُوهُمَا قَدْ خَرَجَا فَزِعَيْنِ إِلَى عَلِيٍّ ع- فَتَبِعَهُمَا النَّاسُ إِلَى أَنِ انْتَهَوْا إِلَى بَابِ عَلِيٍّ ع
(The book) ‘Al Ilal’ – By the previous chain from Al Ashari, from Abu Abdullah Al Razy, from Al Bazanty, from Rawh Bin Salih, from Haroun Bin Kharjah,
‘Raising it from (Syeda) Fatima-asws, she-asws said: ‘The people were hit by an earthquake in the era of Abu Bakr, and the people panicked to Abu Bakr and Umar. They found them both to have gone out in panic. The people pursued them until they ended to the door of Ali-asws.
فَخَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ عَلِيٌّ ع غَيْرَ مُكْتَرِثٍ لِمَا هُمْ فِيهِ فَمَضَى وَ اتَّبَعَهُ النَّاسُ حَتَّى انْتَهَى إِلَى تَلْعَةٍ فَقَعَدَ عَلَيْهَا وَ قَعَدُوا حَوْلَهُ وَ هُمْ يَنْظُرُونَ إِلَى حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ تَرْتَجُّ جَائِيَةً وَ ذَاهِبَةً
Ali-asws came out to them without caring (being indifferent) to what they were in. He-asws went, and the people followed him-asws until he-asws ended to a hill. He-asws sat upon it and they sat around him-asws, and they were looking at the walls of Medina trembling, coming and going.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ ع كَأَنَّكُمْ قَدْ هَالَكُمْ مَا تَرَوْنَ
Ali-asws said to them: ‘It is as if you are terrified at what you are seeing’.
قَالُوا وَ كَيْفَ لَا يَهُولُنَا وَ لَمْ نَرَ مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ
They said, ‘And how can we not be terrified and we have not seen the like of it, at all!’’
قَالَتْ فَحَرَّكَ شَفَتَيْهِ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْأَرْضَ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا لَكِ اسْكُنِي فَسَكَنَتْ
She-asws said: ‘He-asws moved his-asws lips, then struck the ground with his-asws hand, then said: ‘What is the matter with you? Calm down!’ It calmed down.
قَالَ لَهُمْ فَعَجِبُوا مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ تَعَجُّبِهِمْ أَوَّلًا حَيْثُ خَرَجَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَإِنَّكُمْ قَدْ عَجِبْتُمْ مِنْ صُنْعِي
They were astounded from that more than their first astonishment when he-asws had come out to them. He-asws said to them: ‘You-asws are astonished from my-asws actions?’
قَالُوا نَعَمْ
They said, ‘Yes’.
فَقَالَ أَنَا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ- إِذا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ زِلْزالَها- وَ أَخْرَجَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَثْقالَها- وَ قالَ الْإِنْسانُ ما لَها فَأَنَا الْإِنْسَانُ الَّذِي يَقُولُ لَهَا مَا لَكِ-
He-asws said: ‘I-asws am the man Allah-azwj Said: When the earth is shaken with its earthquake [99:1] And the earth throws out its burdens [99:2] And the human being says, ‘What is the matter with it?’ [99:3], so I-asws am that man who would be saying to it: ‘What is the matter with you?’
يَوْمَئِذٍ تُحَدِّثُ أَخْبارَها إِيَّايَ تُحَدِّثُ.
On that day she shall tell her news [99:4], it is to me-asws it would be narrating its news’’.[82]
10- الْعِلَلُ، وَ الْعُيُونُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ قُتَيْبَةَ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ مِنَ الْعِلَلِ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع فَإِنْ قَالَ لِمَ جُعِلَتْ لِلْكُسُوفِ صَلَاةٌ
(The books) ‘Al Ilal’ and ‘Al Uyoun’ – From Abdul Wahid Bin Ubdous, from Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Quteyba, from Al Fazl Bin Shazan among what he reported from ‘Al Ilal’,
‘From Al-Reza-asws in argumentation: ‘Why has a Salat made to be for the eclipse?’
قِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ آيَةٌ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- لَا يُدْرَى أَ لِرَحْمَةٍ ظَهَرَتْ أَمْ لِعَذَابٍ فَأَحَبَّ النَّبِيُّ ص أَنْ يَفْزَعَ أُمَّتُهُ إِلَى خَالِقِهَا وَ رَاحِمِهَا عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ لِيَصْرِفَ عَنْهُمْ شَرَّهَا وَ يَقِيَهُمْ مَكْرُوهَهَا كَمَا صَرَفَ عَنْ قَوْمِ يُونُسَ حِينَ تَضَرَّعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ
It will be said, ‘Because it is a sign from the signs of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. It is not known whether it has appeared for Mercy or for Punishment, so the Prophet-saww loved it for his-saww community to panic to its Creator and its Mercier during that for its evil to be turned away from them and He-azwj would Save them from its abhorrence just as He-azwj had Turned it way from the people of Musa-as when they had beseeched to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’.
فَإِنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ جُعِلَتْ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ
If he says, ‘Why has it been made as ten Cycles (of Salat)?’
قِيلَ لِأَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ الَّتِي نَزَلَ فَرْضُهَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا فِي الْيَوْمِ وَ اللَّيْلَةِ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ عَشْرُ رَكَعَاتٍ فَجُمِعَتْ تِلْكَ الرَّكَعَاتُ هَاهُنَا وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَ فِيهَا السُّجُودُ لِأَنَّهُ لَا يَكُونُ صَلَاةٌ فِيهَا رُكُوعٌ إِلَّا وَ فِيهَا سُجُودٌ وَ لِأَنْ يَخْتِمُوا صَلَاتَهُمْ أَيْضاً بِالسُّجُودِ وَ الْخُضُوعِ
It will be said: ‘Because the Salat is which its obligation has descended from the sky to the earth and what is in the day and the night, rather it was ten Cycles (two Cycles each five times a day). So, these Cycles have been gathered over here, and rather the Sajdah has been made to be in it because there cannot be a Salat wherein is Ruk’u except that there is Sajdah in it, and because their Salat will end as well with the Sajdah.
وَ إِنَّمَا جُعِلَتْ أَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ لِأَنَّ كُلَّ صَلَاةٍ نَقَصَ سُجُودُهَا مِنْ أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ لَا تَكُونُ صَلَاةً لِأَنَّ أَقَلَّ الْفَرْضِ مِنَ السُّجُودِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ- لَا يَكُونُ إِلَّا عَلَى أَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ
And rather four Sajdah(s) have been made because every Salat its Sajdah(s) are less than four Sajdah(s) cannot be a Salat, because it is the least obligatory from the Sajdah(s) in the Salat cannot be except upon four Sajdah(s)’.
فَإِنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ لَمْ يُجْعَلْ بَدَلَ الرُّكُوعِ سُجُوداً
If he says, ‘Why has the Sajdah not been made to be instead of the Ruk’u?’
قِيلَ لِأَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ قَائِماً أَفْضَلُ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ قَاعِداً وَ لِأَنَّ الْقَائِمَ يَرَى الْكُسُوفَ وَ الِانْجِلَاءَ وَ السَّاجِدُ لَا يَرَى
It will be said, ‘Because the Salat prayed standing is better than the Salat prayed sitting, and because the standing one can see the eclipse and the clearance, while the one in Sajdah cannot see’.
فَإِنْ قَالَ فَلِمَ غُيِّرَتْ عَنْ أَصْلِ الصَّلَاةِ الَّتِي افْتَرَضَهَا اللَّهُ
If he says, ‘Why has it been changed from the original Salat which Allah-azwj had Obligated (of two Cycles)?’
قِيلَ لِأَنَّهُ صَلَّى لِعِلَّةِ تَغَيُّرِ أَمْرٍ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ وَ هُوَ الْكُسُوفُ فَلَمَّا تَغَيَّرَتِ الْعِلَّةُ تَغَيَّرَ الْمَعْلُولُ.
It will be said, ‘Because he-saww prayed for the reason of a change of a matter from the matters, and it is the eclipse. When the cause changed, the effect changed’’.[83]

Tafseer Ali Bin Ibrahim – from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Yasaar, from Marouf Bin Kharbouz, from Al Hakam Bin Al Mustansir,
‘From Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘From the timings which Allah-azwj has Determined for the people from what they would be needy to is the ocean which Allah-azwj Created it between the sky and the earth, and Allah-azwj Determined in it flow of the sun and the moon and the stars and the planets. Then He-azwj Determined all of that upon the orbits, then Allocated an Angel with the sky, having seventy thousand Angels rotating the orbits.
فَإِذَا دَارَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُومُ وَ الْكَوَاكِبُ مَعَهُ فَنَزَلَتْ فِي مَنَازِلِهَا الَّتِي قَدَّرَهَا اللَّهُ فِيهَا لِيَوْمِهَا وَ لَيْلَتِهَا وَ إِذَا كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُ الْعِبَادِ وَ أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَعْتِبَهُمْ بِآيَةٍ مِنْ آيَاتِهِ أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِالْفَلَكِ أَنْ يُزِيلَ الْفَلَكَ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ مَجَارِي الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ النُّجُومِ وَ الْكَوَاكِبِ فَيَأْمُرُ الْمَلَكُ أُولَئِكَ السَّبْعِينَ الْأَلْفَ مَلَكٍ أَنْ يُزِيلُوا الْفَلَكَ عَنْ مَجَارِيهِ
So then the sun, and the moon, and the stars and the planets rotate with it and descend in their stages which Allah-azwj has Determined in it for their days and their nights; and when sins of the servants are a lot and Allah-azwj Wants to Reprimand them with a sign from His-azwj signs, Commands the Angel allocated with the orbits to move the orbits upon which is the flow of the sun, and the moon, and the stars and the planets. So, the Angel orders those seventy thousand Angels to move the orbits from its flow’.
قَالَ فَيُزِيلُونَهُ فَتَصِيرُ الشَّمْسُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْبَحْرِ الَّذِي يَجْرِي الْفَلَكُ فِيهِ فَيُطْمَسُ حَرُّهَا وَ يُغَيَّرُ لَوْنُهَا فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُعَظِّمَ الْآيَةَ طُمِسَتِ الشَّمْسُ فِي الْبَحْرِ عَلَى مَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخَوِّفَ خَلْقَهُ بِالْآيَةِ فَذَلِكَ عِنْدَهُ شِدَّةُ انْكِسَافِ الشَّمْسِ وَ كَذَلِكَ يُفْعَلُ بِالْقَمَرِ
He-asws said: ‘So they move it, and the sun comes to be in that ocean which the orbits are flowing in, so it blots its heat and changes its colour. When Allah-azwj Wants to Magnify the sign, the sun blots in the ocean based upon what Allah-azwj Loves to Scare His-azwj creatures with the sign. During it, that is eclipse of the sun, and like that He-azwj Does with the moon.
فَإِذَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يُخْرِجَهُمَا وَ يَرُدَّهُمَا إِلَى مَجْرَاهُمَا أَمَرَ الْمَلَكَ الْمُوَكَّلَ بِالْفَلَكِ أَنْ يَرُدَّ الشَّمْسَ إِلَى مَجْرَاهَا فَيَرُدُّ الْمَلَكُ الْفَلَكَ إِلَى مَجْرَاهُ فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ وَ هِيَ كَدِرَةٌ وَ الْقَمَرُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ
When Allah-azwj Wants to Extract them and Return them to their flows, He-azwj Commands the Angel allocated with the orbit to return the sun to its flow. So, the Angel returns the orbit to its flow, and it comes out from the water, and it is turbid, and the moon is similar to that.
ثُمَّ قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- إِنَّهُ لَا يَفْزَعُ لَهُمَا وَ لَا يَرْهَبُ إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مِنْ شِيعَتِنَا فَإِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ رَاجِعُوا.
Then Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘Surely no one would panic to these two (eclipses) nor dread except the one who was from our-asws Shias. Whenever that happens, then panic to Allah-azwj the Exalted and review (your lives)’’.[84]
12- الْمَحَاسِنُ، عَنْ أَبِي سُمَيْنَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى بْنَ جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ لَمَّا قُبِضَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص جَرَتْ فِي مَوْتِهِ ثَلَاثُ سُنَنٍ أَمَّا وَاحِدَةٌ فَإِنَّهُ لَمَّا قُبِضَ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَقَالَ النَّاسُ إِنَّمَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ لِمَوْتِ ابْنِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص-
(The book) ‘Al Mahasin’ – from Abu Sumeyna, from Muhammad Bin Aslam, from Al-Husayn Bin Khalid who said,
‘I heard Abu Al-Hassan Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws saying: ‘When Ibrahim-as son-as of Rasool-Allah‑saww passed away, three Sunnahs flowed during his-as death. As for one, when he-as passed away the sun eclipsed, so the people said, ‘But rather sun eclipsed at the death of the son-as of Rasool-Allah-saww!’
فَصَعِدَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الْمِنْبَرَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ كُسُوفَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ يَجْرِيَانِ بِأَمْرِهِ مُطِيعَانِ لَهُ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَ لَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَا أَوْ أَحَدُهُمَا صَلُّوا
Rasool-Allah-saww ascended the pulpit. He-saww praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, then said: ‘O you people! Eclipse of the sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah-azwj flowing by His-azwj Command, obedient to Him-azwj! They do not get eclipsed at the death of anyone nor for his life! So, when they are eclipsed, or one of them is, pray Salat!’
ثُمَّ نَزَلَ مِنَ الْمِنْبَرِ فَصَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ.
Then he-saww descended from the pulpit and prayed Salat with the people, Salat of the eclipse’’.[85]
13- فِقْهُ الرِّضَا، قَالَ ع اعْلَمْ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فِي عَشْرِ رَكَعَاتٍ بِأَرْبَعِ سَجَدَاتٍ تَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِتَكْبِيرَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةً وَ سُوَراً طِوَالًا وَ طَوِّلْ فِي الْقِرَاءَةِ وَ الرُّكُوعِ وَ السُّجُودِ مَا قَدَرْتَ
(The book) ‘Fiqh Al-Reza-asws’ – He-asws said: ‘May Allah-azwj Mercy you! Know that Salat of the eclipse is of ten Cycles with four Sajdah(s). You-azwj begin the Salat with one Takbeer, then recited Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah and prolong in the recitation, and the Ruk’u and the Sajdah whatever you are able to.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ رَكَعْتَ ثُمَّ رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ بِتَكْبِيرٍ وَ لَا تَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ تَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تَقُومُ فَتَصْنَعُ مِثْلَ مَا صَنَعْتَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى وَ لَا تَقْرَأُ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ إِلَّا إِذَا انْقَضَتِ السُّورَةُ
When you are free from the recitation, perform Ruk’u, then raise your head with a Takbeer, and do not say, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one praising Him-azwj’, doing that five times. Then perform two Sajdah(s), then stand. Do like that what you have done in the first Cycle and do not recite Surah Al Ham except when you have completed the Surah.
فَإِذَا بَدَأْتَ بِالسُّورَةِ بَدَأْتَ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ تَقْنُتُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ فِي الْقُنُوتِ- أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْجُدُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ وَ النُّجُومُ وَ الْجِبالُ وَ الشَّجَرُ وَ الدَّوَابُّ وَ كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَ كَثِيرٌ حَقَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَذابُ
When you begin with the Surah(s), begin with Al Hamd, and perform Qunout between every two Cycles, and say in your Qunout, ‘Allah, they do Sajdah to Him, the ones in the skies and the ones in the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and many of the people, and many are such that the Punishment is deserving upon them? [22:18].
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُعَذِّبْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ وَ لَا تَسْخَطْ بِسَخَطِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ وَ لَا تَأْخُذْنَا بِمَا فَعَلَ السُّفَهَاءُ مِنَّا وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا الْبَلَاءَ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الطَّوْلِ-
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww! O Allah-azwj! Do no Punish us with Your-azwj Punishment, nor be Annoyed be Your-azwj Annoyed upon us, and do not Destroy us with Your-azwj Wrath, and do not Seize us with what the foolish ones from us have done! Pardon us, and Forgive us, and Turn the afflictions away from us, O with the Conferment and the Leniency!’
وَ لَا تَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ إِلَّا فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الَّتِي تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَسْجُدَ فِيهَا وَ تُطَوِّلُ الصَّلَاةَ حَتَّى تَنْجَلِي وَ إِنِ انْجَلَى وَ أَنْتَ فِي الصَّلَاةِ فَخَفِّفْ وَ إِنْ صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَعْدُ لَمْ يَنْجَلِ فَعَلَيْكَ الْإِعَادَةُ أَوِ الدُّعَاءُ وَ الثَّنَاءُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ أَنْتَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ
And do not say, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one praising Him-azwj’, except in the Cycle which you want to do Sajdah in, and prolong the Salat until it (eclipse) is cleared, and if it does clear while you are in the Salat, then lighten, and if you have prayed and it has not cleared yet, upon You‑azwj is the repeating, or the supplicating and the extolling praise upon Allah-azwj while you are facing the Qiblah!
وَ إِنْ عَلِمْتَ بِالْكُسُوفِ فَلَمْ يَتَيَسَّرْ لَكَ الصَّلَاةُ فَاقْضِ مَتَى مَا شِئْتَ فَإِنْ أَنْتَ لَمْ تَعْلَمْ بِالْكُسُوفِ فِي وَقْتِهِ ثُمَّ عَلِمْتَ بَعْدُ فَلَا شَيْءَ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَا قَضَاءَ
And if you know of the eclipse but the Salat is not easy for you, then fulfil whenever you like. If you don’t know of the eclipse during its time, then you come to know afterwards, there is nothing upon you, nor fulfilment (Qaza).
وَ صَلَاةُ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَاحِدٌ فَافْزَعْ إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى عِنْدَ الْكُسُوفِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنْ عَلَامَاتِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ لَا تُصَلِّيهَا فِي وَقْتِ الْفَرِيضَةِ حَتَّى تُصَلِّيَ الْفَرِيضَةَ
And Salat of eclipse of the sun and the moon is one, so panic to Allah-azwj the Exalted during the eclipse for it is from the signs of calamity and do not pray it in the time of the Obligatory Salat until (after) you have prayed the Obligatory Salat.
فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِيهَا وَ دَخَلَ عَلَيْكَ وَقْتُ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَاقْطَعْهَا وَ صَلِّ الْفَرِيضَةَ ثُمَّ ابْنِ عَلَى مَا صَلَّيْتَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ
When you were to be in it and time of the obligatory Salat enters upon you, terminated it and pray the Obligatory Salat, then build upon what you had prayed from the eclipse Salat.
فَإِذَا انْكَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ وَ لَمْ يَبْقَ عَلَيْكَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَدْرُ مَا تُصَلِّي فِيهِ صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ وَ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ وَ أَخِّرْ صَلَاةَ اللَّيْلِ ثُمَّ اقْضِهَا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ
When the moon is eclipsed and there does not remain upon you of the night, a measurement of what you can pray the night Salat and the eclipse Salat, pray the eclipse Salat and delay the night Salat, then fulfil it after that.
وَ إِذَا احْتَرَقَ الْقُرْصُ كُلُّهُ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ إِنِ انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوِ الْقَمَرُ وَ لَمْ تَعْلَمْ بِهِ فَعَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَهُمَا إِذَا عَلِمْتَ فَإِنْ تَرَكْتَهَا مُتَعَمِّداً حَتَّى تُصْبِحَ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَ صَلِّ
And when the whole disc (of the sun) is eclipsed, bathe, and if the sun or the moon is eclipsed and you don’t know of it, upon you is to pray these when you do know. If you neglect it deliberately until morning, then bathe and pray.
وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَحْتَرِقِ الْقُرْصُ فَاقْضِهَا وَ لَا تَغْتَسِلْ وَ إِذَا هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ صَفْرَاءُ أَوْ سَوْدَاءُ أَوْ حَمْرَاءُ فَصَلِّ لَهَا صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ
And if the (whole) disc is not eclipsed, then fulfil it and do not bathe; and when the wind blows, yellow or black or red, then pray to it Salat of the eclipse, and like that when the earth shakes, so pray Salat of the eclipse.
فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ فَاسْجُدْ وَ قُلْ- يَا مَنْ يُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا وَ لَئِنْ زالَتا إِنْ أَمْسَكَهُما مِنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ إِنَّهُ كانَ حَلِيماً غَفُوراً يَا مَنْ يُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ أَمْسِكْ عَنَّا السَّقَمَ وَ الْمَرَضَ وَ جَمِيعَ أَنْوَاعِ الْبَلَاءِ-
When you are free, perform Sajdah and say, ‘O One Who Withholds the skies and the earth lest they cease. And if they were to cease, no one can withhold these from after Him. He was always Lenient, Forgiving’ [35:41]! O One Who Withholds the sky from falling upon the earth, except by His Permission? [22:65]! Withhold from us the diseases and the illnesses, and entirety of types of the afflictions!’
وَ إِذَا كَثُرَتِ الزَّلَازِلُ فَصُمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ تُبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَ رَاجِعْ وَ أَشِرْ عَلَى إِخْوَانِكَ بِذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهَا تَسْكُنُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
And when the earthquakes are a lot, fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and repent to Allah-azwj and return, and indicate upon your brethren with that for it shall calm down, by the Permission of Allah-azwj!’’[86]
بيان: وَ فِي حَسَنَةِ زُرَارَةَ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع كُلُّ أَخَاوِيفِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْ ظُلْمَةٍ أَوْ رِيحٍ أَوْ فَزَعٍ فَصَلِّ لَهُ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى يَسْكُنَ.
Explanation (Hadeeth only) – And in a good (Hadeeth) by Zurara and Muhammad Bin Muslim, from Abu Ja’far-asws: ‘Every scary matter of the sky, from darkness, or wind, or panic, pray for it the eclipse Salat until it settles’’.
رُوِيَ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ وَ بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا وَقَعَ الْكُسُوفُ أَوْ بَعْضُ هَذِهِ الْآيَاتِ صَلَّيْتَهَا مَا لَمْ تَتَخَوَّفْ أَنْ يَذْهَبَ وَقْتُ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَإِنْ تَخَوَّفْتَ فَابْدَأْ بِالْفَرِيضَةِ وَ اقْطَعْ مَا كُنْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الْفَرِيضَةِ فَارْجِعْ إِلَى حَيْثُ كُنْتَ قَطَعْتَ وَ احْتَسِبْ بِمَا مَضَى.
It is reported in the correct (Hadeeth) from Muhammad Bin Muslim and Bureyd Bin Muawiya, from Abu Ja’far-asws and Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘When the eclipse occurs, or some of these signs, pray it for as long as you don’t fear that time of the obligatory Salat will not be gone. If you fear so, then begin with the obligatory and terminate what you were in from the eclipse Salat. When you are free from the obligatory, then return to where you had cut off from, and count with what had passed’’.
14- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ بِالنَّاسِ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْحَجِّ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ قَدْرَ الْقِرَاءَةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ صُلْبَهُ فَقَرَأَ قَدْرَ الرُّكُوعِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ مَرَّةً أُخْرَى ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ قَدْرَ الرُّكُوعِ
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy – by his chain,
‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Ali-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww pray the eclipse Salat with the people. He-saww recited Surah Al Hajj, then performed Ruk’u a measurement of the recitation, then he-saww raised his-saww back. He-saww recited a measurement of the Ruk’u. Then he-saww did Ruk’u once again, then raised his-saww head, then did Sajdah a measurement of the Ruk’u.
ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَدَعَا بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ عَلَى قَدْرِ السُّجُودِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ الْأُخْرَى ثُمَّ قَامَ فَقَرَأَ سُورَةَ الرُّومِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ قَدْرَ الْقِرَاءَةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ صُلْبَهُ فَقَرَأَ قَدْرَ الرُّكُوعِ ثُمَّ رَكَعَ قَدْرَ الْقِرَاءَةِ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ سَجْدَتَيْنِ
Then he-saww raised his-saww head and supplicated between the two Sajdah(s) upon a measurement of the Sajdah, then did another Sajdah, then stood up and recited Surah Al Roum. Then he-saww did Ruk’u a measurement of the recitation, then raised his-saww back. He‑saww recited a measurement of the Ruk’u, then did Ruk’u a measurement of the recitation. Then he-saww raised his-saww head, then did Sajdah, two Sajdah(s).
فَكَانَ فَرَاغُهُ حَيْثُ تَجَلَّتِ الشَّمْسُ فَمَضَتِ السُّنَّةُ أَنَّ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ رَكْعَتَانِ فِيهِمَا أَرْبَعُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ أَرْبَعُ سَجَدَاتٍ.
So, his-saww being free was when the sun was released (from eclipse). So, the Sunnah was accomplished that Salat of the eclipse is of two Cycles there being two Ruk’u(s) and two Sajdah(s) in it’’.[87]
15- مُسَكِّنُ الْفُؤَادِ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ قَالَ: انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ مَاتَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ النَّاسُ انْكَسَفَتْ لِمَوْتِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ النَّبِيِّ ص-
(The book) ‘Musakkin Al Fawaid’ – from Muhammad Bin Labeyd who said,
‘The sun was eclipsed on the day Ibrahim-asws, son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww passed away. The people said, ‘It is eclipsed at the death of Ibrahim-asws, son-asws of the Prophet-saww!’
فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص حِينَ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ- لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَ لَا لِحَيَاتِهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ الْخَبَرَ.
Rasool-Allah-azwj came out when he-saww heard that. He-saww praised Allah-azwj and extolled upon Him-azwj, the said: ‘As for after, O you people! The sun and the moon are two signs from the signs of Allah-azwj! They do not get eclipsed at the death of anyone nor for his life! Whenever you see that, then panic to the Masjid(s)!’ – the Hadeeth’’.[88]
16- الْهِدَايَةُ، إِذَا انْكَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ أَوْ الشَّمْسُ أَوْ زُلْزِلَتِ الْأَرْضُ أَوْ هَبَّتْ رِيحٌ صَفْرَاءُ أَوْ سَوْدَاءُ أَوْ حَمْرَاءُ فَصَلُّوا عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ أَرْبَعَ سَجَدَاتٍ بِتَسْلِيمَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَ اقْرَءُوا فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَإِنْ بَعَّضْتُمُ السُّورَةَ فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَلَا تَقْرَءُوا فِي ثَانِيهَا الْحَمْدَ وَ اقْرَءُوا السُّورَةَ مِنَ الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي بَلَغْتُمْ وَ مَتَى أَتْمَمْتُمْ سُورَةً فِي رَكْعَةٍ فَاقْرَءُوا فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُخْرَى الْحَمْدَ
(The book) ‘Al Hidaya’ –
‘When the moon or the sun is eclipsed, or the earth shakes, or the wind blows, be it yellow, or black, or red, then pray ten Cycles Salat and four Sajdah(s) with one Salaam, and recited in each Cycle. If you recited part of the Surah in a Cycle, then do not recite Surah Al Ham in its second, and recite the Surah from the place you had reached, and when you complete a Surah in a Cycle, then recite (Surah) Al Hamd in the next Cycle.
وَ مَنْ فَاتَتْهُ فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهَا لِأَنَّهَا مِنْ صِغَارِ الْفَرَائِضِ وَ لَا يُقَالُ فِيهَا سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ إِلَّا فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْخَامِسَةِ وَ الْعَاشِرَةِ وَ لَا تَسْجُدْ إِلَّا فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَ الْعَاشِرَةِ وَ الْقُنُوتُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ بَعْدَ الْقِرَاءَةِ وَ قَبْلَ الرُّكُوعِ
And on who misses it, upon him is to fulfil it, because it is from the small obligation, nor should it be said in it, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one praises Him-azwj’, except in the fifth Cycle, and the tenth, and do not do Sajdah except in the fifth and the tenth, and the Qunout is in every Cycle after the recitation and before the Ruk’u’.
وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ الْقُنُوتَ فِيهَا فِي الْخَامِسَةِ وَ الْعَاشِرَةِ.
And it is reported that the Qunout in it is in the fifth and the tenth (Cycle)’’.[89]
17- الْمُقْنِعَةُ، رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِينَ ع أَنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَرَادَ تَخْوِيفَ عِبَادِهِ وَ تَجْدِيدَ الزَّجْرِ لِخَلْقِهِ كَسَفَ الشَّمْسَ وَ خَسَفَ الْقَمَرَ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَافْزَعُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى بِالصَّلَاةِ.
(The book) ‘Al Muqnie’ –
‘It is reported from the two truthful ones (5th and 6th Imam-asws): ‘When Allah-azwj Wants to Scare His-azwj servants and Renew the Rebuke to His-azwj creatures, He-azwj Eclipses the sun and Eclipses the moon. When you see that, then panic to Allah-azwj the Exalted with the Salat’’.[90]
قَالَ وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صَلَاةُ الْكُسُوفِ فَرِيضَةٌ.
He said, ‘And it is reported from Rasool-Allah-saww having said: ‘Salat of the eclipse is an obligation’’.[91]
وَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ لَا يَنْكَسِفَانِ لِمَوْتِ أَحَدٍ وَ لَا لِحَيَاةِ أَحَدٍ وَ لَكِنَّهُمَا آيَتَانِ مِنْ آيَاتِ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمْ ذَلِكَ فَبَادِرُوا إِلَى مَسَاجِدِكُمْ لِلصَّلَاةِ.
And he said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The sun and the moon do not get eclipsed at the death of anyone nor for the life of anyone, but these are two signs of Allah-azwj from the signs of Allah-azwj. So when you see that, rush to your Masjid(s) for the Salat’’.[92]

(The book) ‘Qurb Al Isnaad’ – by the chain,
‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws Musa-asws, he said, ‘I asked him-asws about the women, ‘It is upon the one from them who knows the optional Salat and the night Salat, and the midday Salat, and the eclipse what is upon the men?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’’.[93]
وَ مِنْهُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ: كَتَبْتُ إِلَى الرِّضَا ع- كُسِفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوِ الْقَمَرُ وَ أَنَا رَاكِبٌ لَا أَقْدِرُ عَلَى النُّزُولِ
And from him, from Ali Bin Al Fazl Al Wasity who said,
‘I wrote to Al-Reza-asws, ‘The sun or the moon gets eclipsed while I am riding, not be able upon the descending (from the riding animal)’.
قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مَرْكَبِكَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ.
He (the narrator) said, ‘He-asws wrote to me: ‘Pray upon the ride which you are upon’’.[94]
19- الْمُقْنِعَةُ، رُوِيَ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع أَنَّهُ صَلَّى بِالْكُوفَةِ صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَقَرَأَ فِيهَا بِالْكَهْفِ وَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ رَدَّدَهَا خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ أَطَالَ فِي رُكُوعِهَا حَتَّى سَالَ الْعَرَقُ عَلَى أَقْدَامِ مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ وَ غُشِيَ عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنْهُمْ.
(The book) ‘Al Muqnie’ –
‘It is reported from Amir Al-Momineen-asws, he-asws prayed Salat at Al-Kufa, the eclipse Salat. He-asws recited in it with (Surahs) Al-Kahf, and Al-Anbiya, repeating these five times, and he‑asws prolonged in its Ruk’u to the extent the sweat flowed upon the feet of the one who was with him-asws, and there was unconsciousness upon many of them’’.[95]

(The book) ‘Al Uyoun’ – from his father, from Sa’ad Bin Abdullah and Muhammad Bin Yahya, both together from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Isa, from Al Hajjal, from Suleyman Al Ja’fary who said,
‘Al-Reza-asws said: ‘A wind came while I-asws was in Sajdah, so every person went on to seek a place, and I-asws was in Sajdah, persisting in the supplication to my-asws Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic until it settled’’.[96]

(The book) ‘Da’aim Al Islam’ –
‘From Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws, from Ali-asws having said: ‘The moon eclipsed in the era of Rasool-Allah-saww while Jibraeel-as was with him-saww. Rasool-Allah-saww said to him-as: ‘O Jibraeel-as, what is this?’
فَقَالَ جَبْرَئِيلُ أَمَا إِنَّهُ أَطْوَعُ لِلَّهِ مِنْكُمْ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْصِ رَبَّهُ قَطُّ مُذْ خَلَقَهُ وَ هَذِهِ آيَةٌ وَ عِبْرَةٌ
Jibraeel-as said: ‘But, it is more obedient to Allah-azwj than you (Muslims) are! It has not disobeyed its Lord-azwj at all since He-azwj Created it, and this is a sign and a lesson’.
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَمَا ذَا يَنْبَغِي عِنْدَهَا وَ مَا أَفْضَلُ مَا يَكُونُ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ إِذَا كَانَتْ
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘So what is befitting during it, and what is best of what can happen, from the acts of worship, when it happens?’
قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ قِرَاءَةُ الْقُرْآنِ.
He-as said: ‘The Salat and recitation of the Quran’’.[97]
قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ ع كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِذَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوِ الْقَمَرُ قَالَ لِلنَّاسِ اسْعَوْا إِلَى مَسْجِدِكُمْ.
Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws said: ‘Whenever the sun or the moon eclipsed, Rasool-Allah-saww said to the people: ‘Strive to go to your Masjid(s)!’’[98]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: صَلَاةُ الْكُسُوفِ فِي الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ عِنْدَ الْآيَاتِ وَاحِدَةٌ وَ هِيَ عَشْرُ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ أَرْبَعُ سَجَدَاتٍ يَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلَاةَ بِتَكْبِيرَةٍ وَ يَقْرَأُ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ وَ يَجْهَرُ فِيهَا بِالْقِرَاءَةِ
And from him-asws having said: ‘Salat of the eclipse of the sun and the moon, and during one of the signs, and it is of ten Cycles and four Sajdah(s), begin the Salat with a Takbeer, and recite Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah and being loud in it with the recitation.
ثُمَّ يَرْكَعُ فَيَلْبَثُ رَاكِعاً مِثْلَ مَا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَ يَقُولُ عِنْدَ رَفْعِهِ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ يَقْرَأُ كَذَلِكَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا قَنَتَ
Then he should perform Ruk’u, remaining in Ruk’u similar to what he had raised, then he should raise his head and say during his raising, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest!’ Then he should recite like that with Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah. When he is free from it, he should perform Qunout.
ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَ رَكَعَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَأَقَامَ رَاكِعاً بِقَدْرِ مَا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ
Then he should exclaim Takbeer and perform the second Ruk’u. He should stay in Ruk’u a measurement of what he had recited, then raise his head and said, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest!’ Then recited Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah.
ثُمَّ كَبَّرَ وَ رَكَعَ الثَّالِثَةَ فَأَقَامَ رَاكِعاً مِثْلَ مَا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةً طَوِيلَةً
Then he should exclaim Takbeer and perform the third Ruk’u, staying in Ruk’u similar to what he had recited, then raise his head and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest!’ Then he should recite Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah.
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا قَنَتَ وَ رَكَعَ الرَّابِعَةَ فَأَقَامَ رَاكِعاً بِقَدْرِ مَا قَرَأَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ قَالَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةٍ طَوِيلَةٍ
When he is free from it, he should perform Qunout and the fourth Ruk’u a measurement of what he had recited, then raise his head and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest!’, then recite Surah Al Fatiha and a long Surah.
فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا كَبَّرَ وَ رَكَعَ الْخَامِسَةَ فَأَقَامَ مِثْلَ مَا قَرَأَ فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنْهَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَ يَسْجُدُ فَيُقِيمُ سَاجِداً مِثْلَ مَا رَكَعَ ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ وَ يُكَبِّرُ
When he is free from it, he should exclaim Takbeer and perform the fifth Ruk’u, staying similar to what he had recited. When he raises his head from it, he should say, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one who praises Him-azwj’, then exclaim Takbeer and do Sajdah, staying in Sajdah similar to what he was in Ruk’u, the raise his head and exclaim Takbeer.
فَيَجْلِسُ شَيْئاً بَيْنَ السَّجْدَتَيْنِ يَدْعُو ثُمَّ يُكَبِّرُ وَ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَةً ثَانِيَةً يُقِيمُ فِيهَا سَاجِداً مِثْلَ مَا أَقَامَ فِي الْأُولَى
He should be seated for a while between the two Sajdah(s), supplicating, then exclaim Takbeer and perform Sajdah, the second Sajdah, staying in it prostrating similar to what he had stayed in the first.
ثُمَّ يَنْهَضُ قَائِماً وَ يُكَبِّرُ وَ يُصَلِّي أُخْرَى عَلَى نَحْوِ الْأُولَى يَرْكَعُ فِيهَا خَمْسَ رَكَعَاتٍ وَ يَسْجُدُ سَجْدَتَيْنِ وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ تَشَهُّداً طَوِيلًا وَ يُسَلِّمُ وَ الْقُنُوتُ بَعْدَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ كَمَا ذَكَرْنَا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ وَ الرَّابِعَةِ وَ السَّادِسَةِ وَ الثَّامِنَةِ وَ الْعَاشِرَةِ وَ لَا يَقُولُ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ إِلَّا فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ اللَّتَيْنِ يَسْجُدُ مِنْهُمَا وَ مَا سِوَى ذَلِكَ يُكَبِّرُ كَمَا ذَكَرْنَا
Then he should get up standing and exclaim Takbeer, and pray another (Cycle) upon approximately the first, performing Ruk’u in it, five Ruk’u(s), and do two Sajdah(s), and testify one long Tashahhud, and Salaam, and Qunout after every two Cycles just as we-asws mentioned in the second, and the fourth, and the sixth, and the eight, and the tenth, and not say, ‘Allah-azwj Listens to the one who praises Him-azwj except in the two Cycles, those he had done Sajdah in, and whatever is besides that exclaiming Takbeer just as we mentioned’.
فَهَذَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فِي صَلَوَاتِ الْكُسُوفِ فِي رِوَايَاتٍ شَتَّى عَنْهُ ع حَذَفْنَا ذِكْرَهَا اخْتِصَاراً وَ إِنْ قَرَأَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ بِطِوَالِ الْمُفَصَّلِ وَ رَتَّلَ الْقِرَاءَةَ فَذَلِكَ أَحْسَنُ وَ إِنْ قَرَأَ بِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ فَلَيْسَ فِيهِ تَوْقِيتٌ لَا يُجْزِي غَيْرُهُ.
So, this is the meaning of words of Abu Abdullah Ja’far Bin Muhammad-asws regarding the eclipse Salat, and in the various reports from him-asws. We have deleted its mention for brevity, and reciting in the eclipse with long Surah(s), and be distinct in the recitation. So, what is better, and if he recites other than that so there is neither any timing nor does anything else suffice it’’.[99]
وَ قَدْ رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ فِي الْكُسُوفِ بِسُورَةٍ مِنَ الْمَثَانِي وَ سُورَةِ الْكَهْفِ وَ سُورَةِ الرُّومِ وَ سُورَةِ يس وَ سُورَةِ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ ضُحاها.
And we are reporting from Ali-asws, he-asws recited in the in the eclipse (Salat) with a Surah from ‘Al-Masaany’, and Surah Al Kahf, and Surah Al Roum, and Surah Yaseen, and Surah Al Shams’’.[100]
وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ رَخَّصَ فِي تَبْعِيضِ السُّورَةِ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَ بِبَعْضِ السُّورَةِ ثُمَّ يَرْكَعَ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى الْمَوْضِعِ الَّذِي وَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ فَيَقْرَأَ مِنْهُ
And from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, he-asws allowed in part recitation of the Surah in the eclipse Salat, and that is he should recite with a part Surah, then perform Ruk’u, then return to the place which he had paused upon, so he should recited from it.
وَ قَالَ ع إِنْ بَعَّضَ السُّورَةَ لَمْ يَقْرَأْ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ إِلَّا فِي أَوَّلِهَا وَ لَأَنْ يَقْرَأَ بِسُورَةٍ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ أَفْضَلُ.
And he-asws said: ‘If he is part recitation of the Surah, he should not recite Surah Al Fatiha except in its beginning, and if he were to recite with (a whole) Surah in each Cycle it is better’’.[101]
وَ رُوِّينَا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ ع أَنَّهُ صَلَّى صَلَاةَ الْكُسُوفِ فَانْصَرَفَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَنْجَلِيَ فَجَلَسَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ يَدْعُو وَ يَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ وَ جَلَسَ النَّاسُ كَذَلِكَ يَدْعُونَ وَ يَذْكُرُونَ حَتَّى انْجَلَتْ.
And we are reporting from Ali-asws, he-asws prayed the eclipse Salat. He-asws finished before it had cleared. He-asws (remained) seated in his-asws prayer mat supplicating and doing Zikr of Allah-azwj, and the people were seated like that, supplicating and doing Zikr until it had cleared’’.[102]
وَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِيمَنْ وَقَفَ فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ وَقْتُ الصَّلَاةِ قَالَ يُؤَخِّرُهَا وَ يَمْضِي فِي صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ حَتَّى تَصِيرَ إِلَى آخِرِ الْوَقْتِ فَإِنْ خَافَ فَوَاتَ الْوَقْتِ قَطَعَهَا وَ صَلَّى الْفَرِيضَةَ وَ كَذَلِكَ إِذَا انْكَسَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ أَوِ انْكَسَفَ الْقَمَرُ فِي وَقْتِ صَلَاةِ فَرِيضَةٍ بَدَأَ بِصَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ قَبْلَ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ.
And from Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws, he-asws said regarding the one who stands in the eclipse Salat until the time of the (obligatory) Salat enters upon him, he-asws said: ‘He should delay it and continue in the eclipse Salat until he comes to end of the time. If he fears missing the timing, he should terminate it and pray the obligatory; and like that is when the sun eclipses, of the sun eclipses during time of the obligatory Salat. He should begin with the obligatory before praying the eclipse Salat’’.[103]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْكُسُوفِ يَحْدُثُ بَعْدَ الْعَصْرِ أَوْ فِي وَقْتٍ يُكْرَهُ فِيهِ الصَّلَاةُ قَالَ يُصَلِّي فِي أَيِّ وَقْتٍ كَانَ الْكُسُوفُ.
And from him-asws, he-asws was asked about the eclipse occurring after Al-Asr, or during a time in which the Salat is disliked. He-asws said: ‘He should pray Salat in whichever time the eclipse happens’’.[104]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ كُسُوفٍ أَصَابَ قَوْماً وَ هُمْ فِي سَفَرٍ فَلَمْ يُصَلُّوا لَهُ قَالَ كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يُصَلُّوا.
And from him-asws, he-asws was asked about an eclipse afflicting a group of people while they are in a journey so they do not pray for it. He-asws said: ‘It is befitting for them to pray Salat’’.[105]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يُصَلِّي فِي الرَّجْفَةِ وَ الزَّلْزَلَةِ وَ الرِّيحِ الْعَظِيمَةِ وَ الْآيَةِ تَحْدُثُ وَ مَا كَانَ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ كَمَا يُصَلِّي فِي صَلَاةِ كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ سَوَاءً.
And from him-asws having said: ‘He should pray during the tremors and the earthquake, and the mighty wind, and the signs occurring, and what has happened like that, just as he pray in the Salat of eclipse of the sun and the moon, is the same’’.[106]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الصَّلَاةُ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَاحِدَةٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ الصَّلَاةَ فِي كُسُوفِ الشَّمْسِ أَطْوَلُ.
And from him-asws having said: ‘The Salat during eclipse of the sun and the moon is one (same), except that the Salat during eclipse of the sun is longer’’.[107]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْكُسُوفِ وَ الرَّجُلُ نَائِمٌ أَوْ لَمْ يَدْرِ بِهِ أَوِ اشْتَغَلَ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ فِي وَقْتِهِ هَلْ عَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْضِيَهَا
And from him-asws, he-asws was asked about the eclipse while the man is sleeping, or he does not know of it, or is too pre-occupied from the Salat during its time, ‘Is it upon him to fulfil it?’
قَالَ لَا قَضَاءَ فِي ذَلِكَ وَ إِنَّمَا الصَّلَاةُ فِي وَقْتِهِ فَإِذَا انْجَلَى لَمْ تَكُنْ صَلَاةٌ.
He-asws said: ‘There is no fulfilment regarding that, and rather Salat is during it. When it clears, the Salat cannot happen’’.[108]
وَ عَنْهُ ع أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ عَنْ صَلَاةِ الْكُسُوفِ أَيْنَ تَكُونُ
And from him-asws, he-asws was asked about the eclipse Salat, ‘Where can it happen?’
قَالَ مَا أُحِبُّ إِلَّا أَنْ تُصَلَّى فِي الْبَرَازِ لِيُطِيلَ الْمُصَلِّي الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى قَدْرِ طُولِ الْكُسُوفِ وَ السُّنَّةُ أَنْ يُصَلَّى فِي الْمَسْجِدِ إِذَا صَلَّوْا فِي جَمَاعَةٍ.
He-asws said: ‘I-asws don’t like except if you were to pray Salat in the open space to prolong the Salat in the prayer mat upon a measurement of length of the eclipse, and the Sunnah is that he should pray Salat in the Masjid when they pray in congregation’’.[109]
