Then he-asws said: ‘He takes the utensil and places it upon his mouth, then he drinks. He puts it aside while he still desires it, so the praises Allah-azwj, then repeats drinking. Then he keeps it aside. He praises Allah-azwj, then repeats and drinks. Then he keeps it aside and praises Allah-azwj, so Allah-azwj Obligates the Paradise for him due to it’’.[39]

And from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww was such, whenever there came to him-saww what he-saww liked, said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj, the Benefactor, the Beautifier; and when came to him-saww what he-saww disliked, said: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj in all situations, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj upon in this situation!’’[43]

And from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The thanking for the bounties keeps one aside from the Prohibitions and the complete thanks are the words: ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds’’.[45]
وَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ عَلَى النِّعْمَةِ فَقَدْ شَكَرَهُ وَ كَانَ الْحَمْدُ أَفْضَلَ مِنْ تِلْكَ النِّعْمَةِ.

And from Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘Whatever bounty Allah-azwj Favours upon a Momin servant, it reaches what it reaches, so he praises Allah-azwj upon it, except the praise of Allah-azwj would be superior and weightier than that bounty.
نَفَرَتْ بَغْلَةٌ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع فِيمَا بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَقَالَ لَئِنْ رَدَّهَا اللَّهُ عَلَيَّ لَأَشْكُرَنَّهُ حَقَّ شُكْرِهِ
A mule of Abu Ja’far-asws fled in what is between Makkah and Al-Medina. He-asws said: ‘If Allah-azwj Returns it to me-asws, I-asws would thank Him-azwj as is the right of thanking Him-azwj!’

I said, ‘What is the meaning of ‘encompass you’?’

He-asws said: ‘Suffices you’.

I said, Yes’.

He-asws said: ‘Say, ‘For You-azwj is the Praise with all Your-azwj Praises upon entirety of Your-azwj bounties, all of these, until the Praise ends to what You-azwj Love, our Lord-azwj, and are Satisfied with!’’[49]

From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj with all of His-azwj Praises, whatever we know from these and what we don’t know, upon every situation, parallel to His-azwj bounties, and sufficing His-azwj Increase upon me and upon entirety of His-azwj creatures!’, Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted will Say: “My-azwj servant has reached in satisfying Me-azwj and I-azwj shall reach to My-azwj servant, his satisfaction from the Paradise’’.[50]

(The book) ‘Al Kafi’ – from a number of his companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Fazzal, from Abdullah Bin Bukeyr, from Abdullah Bin Ayan,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted Extols Himself-azwj three times during every day, so the one who extols Allah-azwj with what He-azwj has Extolled Himself-azwj, then he were to be in a state of wretchedness, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic would Transfer him to be fortunate.
يَقُولُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِلَى آخِرِ هَذَا التَّمْجِيدِ وَ فِيهِ الْعَزِيزُ بَدَلُ الْعَلِيِّ وَ مَالِكٌ بَدَلُ مَلِكٍ وَ بَدْءُ الْخَلْقِ بَدَلُ مِنْكَ بَدْءُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ صَمَدٌ بِلَا لَامٍ وَ فِيهِ هُوَ الْخَالِقُ بَدَلُ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْخَالِقُ
He should say, ‘You-azwj are Allah-azwj. There is no god except You-azwj!’ – up to end of this extollations, and in it is (the word) ‘The Mighty’ instead of ‘The Exalted’, and ‘Master instead of ‘King’, and: ‘The creation began’ instead of, ‘All things began from You-azwj’, and in it is, ‘First, Last’ without (the letter) ‘Laam’, and in it is, ‘He-azwj is the Creator’ instead of ‘Allah-azwj is the Creator.
وَ كَذَا مَا بَعْدَهُ فَفِيهِ فِي كُلِّ فِقْرَةٍ هُوَ بَدَلُ أَنْتَ وَ فِيهِ وَقَعَ قَوْلُهُ إِلَى آخِرِ السُّورَةِ بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ وَ كَذَا لَهُ بَدَلُ لَكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَوَاضِعِ.
And like that is what is after it. In it, in every word it is, ‘He-azwj’, instead of, ‘You-azwj’, and in it occur His-azwj Words up to end of the Chapter after His-azwj Words: ‘And He-azwj is the Mighty the Wise’, and like that, ‘For Him-azwj’ instead of ‘For You-azwj’ in this place’’.[72]

(The book) ‘Uddat Al Daie’ – It is reported y Ali Bin Hassan, from one of his companions,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Every supplication not having extollations before it, it is amputated. But rather, the extollations (are first), then the praise’.
قُلْتُ وَ مَا أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِئُ مِنَ التَّمْجِيدِ
I said, ‘And what is the least of what would suffice from the extollations?’
قَالَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ.
He-asws said: ‘You should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the First, so there isn’t anything before You-azwj, and You-azwj are the Last, so there isn’t anything after You-azwj, and You-azwj are the apparent (outside), so there isn’t anything above You-azwj, and You-azwj are the hidden (inside), so there isn’t anything below You-azwj, and You-azwj are the Mighty, the Wise!’’[73]
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا أَدْنَى مَا يُجْزِي مِنَ التَّمْجِيدِ
And by this chain, said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘What is the least of what would suffice from the extollations?’

He-asws said: ‘You should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is Exalted so he-azwj Subdues, and the Praise is for the One Who Controls, so is Able, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who is esoteric so is Informed, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Causes the dead to live and the living to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’’[74]

The first timing of the day is when the sun would be on this side, meaning from the east, its measurement from Al Asr, meaning from Al Maghrib up to the first Salat; and the first timing of the night from the remaining third of the night up to the morning burst.

He (the narrator) said, ‘Then Abu Abdullah-asws said from his-asws own accord: ‘And the Greatness is His-azwj Robe. The one who snatches Him-azwj of anything from that, Allah-azwj would Fling him into the Hellfire!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ يَدْعُو بِهِنَّ مُقْبِلًا قَلْبُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَّا قَضَى لَهُ حَاجَتَهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَ شَقِيّاً رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُحَوَّلَ سَعِيداً.

الآيات النمل قالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَهُ عِلْمٌ مِنَ الْكِتابِ أَنَا آتِيكَ بِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْتَدَّ إِلَيْكَ طَرْفُكَ.
The Verses – (Surah) ‘Al Naml’: The one with whom was the knowledge from the Book said, ‘I will come to you with it before your glance returns to you’. [27:40].
1- مهج، مهج الدعوات فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا نَذْكُرُهُ مِنْ تَعْيِينِ الِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ فَمِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ مِنْ كِتَابِ فَضْلِ الدُّعَاءِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ أَوْ قَالَ الْأَعْظَمُ.
(The book) ‘Mahaj Al Dawaat’ – From that is what we mention from support of the most Magnificent Name or others. From the reports regarding it is without chains to Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, from the book ‘Fazl Al Dua’ by his chain to Muawiya Bin Ammar,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘(The phrase) ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ is a Name of Allah-azwj the Greatest’, or said, ‘The most Magnificent’’.[77]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمُشَارِ إِلَيْهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ مُقَطَّعٌ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ.
And from the reports by our chains from the book indicating to it, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Abu Hamza, from his father,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is abbreviated in mother of the Book (Al Fatiha)’’.[78]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمُشَارِ إِلَيْهِ عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ تَوْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِبَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ قَالَ اقْرَأِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقْبِلِ الْقِبْلَةَ فَادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ.
And from the reports in which are our chains, from the book indicating to it, from Umar Bin Towbah,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said to one of his companions: ‘Shall I-asws teach you ‘اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ’ the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj?’
He-asws said: ‘Read the (Chapters) Al Hamd and Al Tawheed and Ayat Al Kursi and Al Qadr, then face the Qiblah and supplicate with whatever you like to’’.[79]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مِمَّا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ إِلَى سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَجْرِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ كَانَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مِنْ سَوَادِ الْعَيْنِ إِلَى بَيَاضِهَا وَ إِنَّهُ دَخَلَ فِيهَا اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ.
And from the reports regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj, from what we are reporting by our chains to Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, to Suleyman Bin Ja’far Al Ja’fary,
‘From Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘One who says after Al-Fajr Salat, ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ’ ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’ one hundred times, would be closer to the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj than the blackness of the eyes is to its whiteness, and ‘اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ’ the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is included in it’’.[80]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع قَالَ: بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ.
And from the report regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj by our chain as well to Abdul Hameed,
‘From Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza-asws having said: ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Greatest, O living, O Eternal!’’[81]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي هَاشِمٍ الْجَعْفَرِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ ع يَقُولُ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- أَقْرَبُ إِلَى اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مِنْ سَوَادِ الْعَيْنِ إِلَى بَيَاضِهَا.
And from the reports regarding the most Magnificent Name, by our chains as well to Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, by our chain to Abu Hashim Al Ja’fari who said,
‘I heard Abu Muhammad-asws saying: ‘بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ’ ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ is closer to the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj than blackness of the eye is to its whiteness’’.[82]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي كَيْفِيَّةِ اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مَا رُوِّينَاهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْبَهِيِّ لِدَعَوَاتِ النَّبِيِّ ص تَصْنِيفِ الْحَافِظِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَزْمِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ السَّلَامِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْخُوارِزْمِيِّ الْأَنْدَرَسْتَانِيِّ فِي عِدَّةِ رِوَايَاتٍ فَمِنْهَا مَا رَوَاهُ أَنَسٌ قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص بِأَبِي عَيَّاشٍ زَيْدِ بْنِ صَامِتٍ أَخِي بَنِي زُرَيْقٍ وَ قَدْ جَلَسَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
And from the reports regarding the method of the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is what we are reporting in the book ‘Al Bahyi Li Dawaat Al-Nabi-saww’, authored by the memorised Abu Muhammad Al Hazmy, from Abdul Salaam Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Bi Ali Al Khawarizmy Al Andarastany, among a number of reports. From these is what is reported by Anas (well known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww passed by Abu Ayyash Zayd Bin Samit, brother of Banu Zureyq, and he was seated. He said, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the Praise being for You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, O Benefactor, O initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’
فَقَالَ ص لِنَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَا دَعَا بِهِ الرَّجُلُ
He-saww said to a number of his-saww companions: ‘Are you knowing what the man has supplicated with?’
قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ
They said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing!’
قَالَ لَقَدْ دَعَا اللَّهُ بِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى.
He-saww said: ‘He has supplicated by the most Magnificent Name which whenever supplicated with, it is Answered, and when requested by it, is Granted!’’[83]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ أَسْمَاءِ بِنْتِ زَيْدٍ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ- قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ مالِكَ الْمُلْكِ إِلَى بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ.
And from these is by a report of Asma Bint Zayd who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is which, whenever it is supplicated with, is Answered. Say: ‘O Allah, Master of the Kingdom! [3:26] – up to: without measure [3:27]’’.[84]
وَ بِرِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي سِتِّ آيَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ الْحَشْرِ.
And by a report by Ibn Abbas,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is in six Verses from the end of Surah Al Hashr’’.[85]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ فِي سُوَرٍ ثَلَاثٍ فِي الْبَقَرَةِ وَ آلِ عِمْرَانَ وَ طه
And from these is by a report of Abu Umama who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj which, whenever supplicated with it is Answered is in three Chapters – Surah(s) Al Baqarah, and Aal-e-Imran-as, and Taha’.
قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ فِي الْبَقَرَةِ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَ فِي آلِ عِمْرَانَ- الم اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ فِي طه وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ.
Abu Umama said, ‘In Surah Al Baqarah there is Ayat Al Kursi; and in (Surah) Aal-e-Imran-as is, Alif Lam Meem [3:1] Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Living, the Eternal [3:2]; and in (Surah) Ta Ha is: And the faces shall be humbled to the Living, the Eternal, [20:111]’’.[86]
وَ مِنْهَا فِي حَدِيثٍ طَوِيلٍ قَالَ: سَمِعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص رَجُلًا يَقُولُ عِشَاءً- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
And from these is a lengthy Hadeeth. He said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww heard a man saying in Isha (Salat), ‘O Allah-azwj! I testify surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, the First, the Solid Who, does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]’.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَ إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! He has asked Allah-azwj by His-azwj most Magnificent Name which, whenever it is asked with, is Granted, and when supplicated with it, is Answered’’.[87]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ ذَكَرْنَاهَا فِي الْجُزْءِ الرَّابِعِ مِنَ التَّحْصِيلِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ الْمُبَارَكِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
And in a reported we have mentioned in the fourth volume from ‘Al Tahseel’ in a translation of Al Mubarak Bin Abdul Rahman,
‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj with surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj the First, the Solid Who does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]’.
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى وَ إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ.
The Prophet-saww said: ‘By the One in Whose Hand is my-saww soul! He has asked Allah-azwj by His-azwj most Magnificent Name which whenever asked with, is Granted, and whenever supplicated with, is Answered’’.[88]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ
And from these is by a report of Ayesha, she said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Teach me the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj!’
فَقَالَ ص تَوَضَّئِي فَتَوَضَّأَتْ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْعِي حَتَّى أَسْمَعَ فَفَعَلَتْ
He-saww said: ‘Perform Wud’u!’ So I performed Wud’u. Then he-saww said: ‘Supplicate until you are heard’. I did so.
فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْكَبِيرِ الْأَكْبَرِ
She said, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most excellent Names, all of them, whatever I known from these and what I don’t know, and I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, the Great, the Greatest!’
فَقَالَ ص أَصَبْتِهِ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ.
He-saww said: ‘You have got it correct, by the One Who Send me-saww with the truth!’’[89]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ أَنَسٍ قَالَ ص إِنَّ يُوشَعَ بْنَ نُونٍ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فَحُبِسَتْ لَهُ الشَّمْسُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الطُّهْرِ الطَّاهِرِ الْمُطَهَّرِ الْمُقَدَّسِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْمَكْتُوبِ عَلَى سُرَادِقِ الْحَمْدِ وَ سُرَادِقِ الْمَجْدِ وَ سُرَادِقِ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ سُرَادِقِ السُّلْطَانِ وَ سُرَادِقِ السَّرَائِرِ
And from it is by a report of Anas (well known fabricator),
‘He-saww said: ‘Yoshua Bin Noun-as supplicated with this supplication, so the sun was withheld for him by the Permission of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic: – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, the Pure, the Clean, the Purifier, the Holy, the Blessed, the Hidden, and Treasures, the Written upon the pavilions of Praise, and the pavilions of the Glory, and the pavilions of the Power, and the pavilions of Authority, and the pavilions of secrets!
أَدْعُوكَ يَا رَبِّ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ النُّورُ الْبَارُّ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ الصَّادِقُ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ- بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ نُورُهُنَّ وَ قِيَامُهُنَّ- ذُو الْجَلالِ وَ الْإِكْرامِ حَنَّانٌ نُورٌ دَائِمٌ قُدُّوسٌ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ.
I supplicate to You-azwj O Lord-azwj, by the Praise being for You-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj the Noor, the Maker, the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Truthful, Knower of the unseen and the seen, Initiator of the skies and the earth and their light and their standing, with the Majesty and the Benevolence, Affectionate, permanent Noor, Holy, Living, not dying!’’[90]
وَ بِرِوَايَةِ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِرِضْوَانِكَ الْأَكْبَرِ.
And by a report of Hamza son of Abdul Muttalib-as having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name the Magnificent, and by Your-azwj Satisfaction the Greatest’’.
وَ بِرِوَايَةِ عَائِشَةَ قَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الطَّاهِرِ الطَّيِّبِ الْمُبَارَكِ الْأَحَبِّ إِلَيْكَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَيْتَ وَ إِذَا اسْتُرْحِمْتَ بِهِ رَحِمْتَ وَ إِذَا اسْتُفْرِجْتَ بِهِ فَرَّجْتَ.
And by a report of Ayesha who said, ‘He-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, the Clean, the Good, the Blessed, the most Beloved to You-azwj which whenever supplicated with is Answered, and whenever asked with is Granted, and whenever Mercy is sought by it, one is Mercied, and whenever relief is sought by it, one is relieved!’’[91]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ ص اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ اسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ جَدِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ.
And from these is by a report of Ibn Masoud,
‘He-saww said: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Seat of Honour from Your-azwj Throne, and the ultimate Mercy from Your-azwj Word, and Your-azwj most Magnificent Name, and Your-azwj Exalted Worth, and Your-azwj complete Phrases!’’[92]
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ ص بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- اسْمٌ مِنْ أَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنَ اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرِ إِلَّا كَمَا بَيْنَ سَوَادِ الْعَيْنِ وَ بَيَاضِهَا مِنَ الْقُرْبِ.
And from these is by a report of Ibn Abbas,
‘He-saww said: ‘(The phrase) ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’ is a Name from the Greatest Names of Allah-azwj, and there is nothing between it and the Greatest Names of Allah-azwj except like the nearness what is between blackness of the eyes and its whiteness’’.[93]
وَ مِنْهَا عَنْ رَجُلٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَدْعُو اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ
And from these from a man who said,
‘I used to supplicate to Allah-azwj the Exalted to Teach me His-azwj most Magnificent Name’.
قَالَ فَنِمْتُ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ مَكْتُوباً فِي السَّمَاءِ بِالْكَوَاكِبِ- يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ.
He said, ‘I fell asleep. I saw in the dream written in the sky with the stars: “O Initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’’[94] (Not a Hadeeth)
وَ مِنْهَا بِرِوَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي عَقِيبِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ سَنَةً أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ
And from these is by a report of Ali Bin Al-Husayn Zayn Al Abideen-asws having said: ‘I-asws asked Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in follow-up of every Sunnah Salat to Teach me-asws His-azwj most Magnificent Name’.
قَالَ فَوَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَجَالِسٌ قَدْ صَلَّيْتُ رَكْعَتَيِ الْفَجْرِ إِذْ مَلَكَتْنِي عَيْنَايَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ جَالِسٌ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ فَقَالَ قَدِ اسْتُجِيبَ لَكَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! I-asws was seated having prayed two Cycles Salat Al Fajr when my-asws eyes were overcome, and there was a man seated in front of me-asws. He said, ‘It has been Answered for you-azwj, so say: ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name! Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj Allah-azwj, Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne!’’[95]
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ فَهِمْتَ أَمْ أُعِيدُ عَلَيْكَ
Then he-asws said: ‘Have you understood or shall I-asws repeat to you?’
قُلْتُ أَعِدْ عَلَيَّ فَفَعَلَ
I said, ‘Repeat it to me’. He-asws did so.
قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ع فَمَا دَعَوْتُ بِشَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا رَأَيْتُهُ وَ أَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي عِنْدَهُ ذُخْراً.
Ali-asws said: ‘I-asws have not supplicated for anything at all except I-asws have seen it, and I-asws hope that is would be a treasure hoard for me-asws in His-azwj Presence’’.[96]
وَ مِنْهَا بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى صَالِحٍ الْمُرِّيِّ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي قَائِلٌ فِي مَنَامِي أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ
And from these, by his chain to Salih Al Murry who said,
‘A speaker said to me in my dream, ‘Shall I teach you the Greatest Name of Allah-azwj which whenever supplicated with, is Answered?’
قُلْتُ بَلَى
I said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ إِذَا دَعَوْتَ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَخْزُونِ الْمُبَارَكِ الطُّهْرِ الطَّاهِرِ الْمُقَدَّسِ
He said: ‘Whenever you supplicate, say, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, the Treasures, the Blessed, the Pure, the Clean, the Holy!’
قَالَ صَالِحٌ مَا دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ بِهِ فِي بَرٍّ أَوْ بَحْرٍ إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لِي.
Salih said, ‘I have not supplicated to Allah-azwj with it, neither in a land nor sea except it except Allah-azwj Answered for me’’.[97] (Not a Hadeeth)
وَ مِنْهَا قَالَ غَالِبٌ الْقَطَّانُ مَكَثْتُ أَدْعُو اللَّهَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيَ بِهِ أَجَابَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلَ بِهِ أَعْطَى
And from these, Ghalib Al Qattan who said,
‘I remained supplicating to Allah-azwj for twenty years for Him-azwj to Teach me His-azwj most Magnificent Name which whenever supplicated with, is Answered, and whenever asked with is Granted.
فَبَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ أُصَلِّي إِذْ سَمِعْتُ قَائِلًا يَقُولُ يَا غَالِبُ أَنْصِتْ لَمَّا سَمِعْتَ ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْنِي عَيْنَايَ وَ أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ سَمِعْتُ قَائِلًا يَقُولُ يَا فَارِجَ الْغَمِّ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ الْهَمِّ وَ يَا مُوفِيَ الْعَهْدِ وَ يَا حَيُّ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَمَا سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ بَعْدَهَا بِهَا شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَانِي.
One night while I was praying Salat one night when I heard a speaker saying, ‘O Ghalib!’ I was silenced to when I heard. Then my eyes overcame me and I fell asleep when I heard a speaker saying, ‘O Reliever of the sadness, and O Remover of the worries, and O Fulfiller of the Pact, and O living, O there is no god except You-azwj!’ I did not ask Allah-azwj after it with it for anything except He-azwj Granted me’’.[98] (not a Hadeeth)
وَ مِنْهَا بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى يَحْيَى بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ مَلَكَ الْمَوْتِ اسْتَأْذَنَ رَبَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُسَلِّمَ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ ع- فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَأَتَاهُ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ بِالَّذِي خَلَقَكَ هَلْ قَبَضْتَ رُوحَ يُوسُفَ قَالَ لَا
And from these, by his chain to Yahya Bin Muslim. It reached him that the Angel of death sought Permission of his Lord-azwj the Exalted to greet unto Yaqoub-as. He-azwj Permitted for him. He came to him-as and greeted unto him-as. He-as said to him: ‘By the One-azwj Who Created you-as! Have you captured the soul of Yusuf-as?’ He said, ‘No!’
قَالَ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ لَا تَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ شَيْئاً إِلَّا أَعْطَاكَ قَالَ بَلَى
He said: ‘Shall I teach you phrases, you-as will not ask Allah-azwj for anything except He-azwj will Give you-as?’ He-asws said: ‘Yes’.
قَالَ قُلْ يَا ذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَداً وَ لَا يُحْصِيهِ غَيْرُهُ
He said, ‘Say: ‘O with the Acts of Kindness which do not terminate, ever, nor can anyone else count these!’
قَالَ فَمَا طَلَعَ الْفَجْرُ حَتَّى أُتِيَ بِقَمِيصِ يُوسُفَ ع.
He (the narrator) said, ‘The dawn did not emerge until he-as was brought the shirt of Yusuf-as’’.[99] (not a Hadeeth)
فَصْلٌ وَ رُوِّيتُ مِنْ تَذْيِيلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النَّجَّارِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَرْبِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ زَيْدٍ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ فِي هَاتَيْنِ الْآيَتَيْنِ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ- وَ إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ.
And extra, and it is reported from a footnote of Muhammad Bin Al Najjar in a translation by Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Ali Al Harby, by his chain from Asma Bint Zayd, she said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is in these two Verses: Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; [2:255], and: And your God is one God! [2:163]’’.[100]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي الْجَارُودِ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: إِنَّ أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ سَأَلَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَنِ اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهَا فَسَكَتَ
And from the report regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is what we are reporting by our chains to Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al Saffar, by his chain to Abu Al Jaroud,
‘From Zayd son of Ali (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) who said, ‘Umm Salama-ra asked Rasool-Allah-saww about the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj. He-saww turned away from her-ra. She-ra was silent.
ثُمَّ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَ هِيَ سَاجِدَةٌ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَيْتَ فَإِنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ
Then he-saww entered to see her-ra while she-ra was performing Sajdah, saying, ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj excellent Names, what I-ra know from these and what I-ra don’t know, and I-ra ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most Magnificent Name which whenever supplicated with, is Answered, and whenever asked with, is Granted! For You-azwj is the Praise. There is no god except You-azwj, the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’
فَقَالَ لَهَا سَأَلْتِ يَا أُمَّ سَلَمَةَ بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ.
He-saww said to her-ra: ‘O Umm Salama-ra! You-ra have asked by the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj!’’[101]
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي اسْمِ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمِ مَا ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي إِغَاثَةِ الدَّاعِي وَ نَحْنُ نَذْكُرُهُ هَاهُنَا حَيْثُ قَدْ ذَكَرْنَا كَثِيراً مِمَّا قِيلَ فِي الِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ فَنَقُولُ وَجَدْتُ فِي كِتَابٍ عَتِيقٍ مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ الدُّعَاءُ الَّذِي فِيهِ الِاسْمُ الْأَعْظَمُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عِيسَى الْعَلَوِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ عِيسَى الْعَلَوِيَّ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عِيسَى بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ زَيْدٍ
And from the reports regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj is what is mentioned in ‘Agasat Al Daie’, and we mention it over here whereby we have already mentioned a lot from what has been said regarding the most Magnificent Name. We say, ‘We found in an ancient book what are these wordings of the supplication in which is the most Magnificent Name, from Ali Bin Isa Al Alawy. He said, ‘I heard Ahmad Bin Isa Al Alawy saying, ‘It is narrated to me by Abu Isa Bin Zayd, from his father Zayd,
عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع قَالَ: دَعَوْتُ اللَّهَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ قَائِمٌ أُصَلِّي فَرَقَدَتْ عَيْنَايَ إِذَا أَنَا بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص قَدْ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ دَنَا مِنِّي وَ قَبَّلَ مَا بَيْنَ عَيْنَيَّ قَالَ لِي أَيَّ شَيْءٍ سَأَلْتَ اللَّهَ
‘From his grandfather Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws having said: ‘I-asws supplicated to Allah-azwj for twenty years for Him-azwj to Teach me-asws His-azwj most Magnificent Name. One night when I-asws was standing praying Salat, my-asws eyes were drowsy. There I-asws was with Rasool-Allah-saww coming over to me-asws. Then he-saww came near me-asws and kissed what is between my-asws eyes. He-saww said: ‘Which thing did you-asws ask Allah-azwj for?’
قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا جَدَّاهْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي اسْمَهُ الْأَعْظَمَ
He-asws said: ‘I-asws said: ‘O grandfather-saww! I-asws asked Allah-azwj the Exalted to Teach me-asws His-azwj most Magnificent Name’.
فَقَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ اكْتُبْ
He-saww said: ‘O my-saww son-asws, write!’
قُلْتُ وَ عَلَى أَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَكْتُبُ
I-asws said: ‘And upon which thing shall I-asws write?’
قَالَ اكْتُبْ بِإِصْبَعِكَ عَلَى رَاحَتِكَ وَ هُوَ
He-saww said: ‘Write with your-asws finger upon your-asws palm, and it is:
يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ وَ ذوا ذُو الْأَسْمَاءِ الْعِظَامِ وَ ذُو الْعِزِّ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
‘O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj! You-azwj are the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth, with the Majesty and the Benevolence, and with the most Magnificent Name, and with the Might which cannot be breached! And your God is one God! There is no god except Him; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [2:163]!’ And send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww entire Progeny-asws,
ثُمَّ ادْعُ بِمَا شِئْتَ
then supplicate with whatever you desire to’.
قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ فَوَ الَّذِي بَعَثَ مُحَمَّداً ص بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً لَقَدْ جَرَّبْتُهُ فَكَانَ كَمَا قَالَ ص
Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws said: ‘By the One Who Send Muhammad-saww with the truth as a Prophet-saww! I-asws tried it and it happened just as he-saww had said’.
قَالَ زَيْدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ فَجَرَّبْتُهُ فَكَانَ كَمَا وَصَفَ أَبِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع
Zayd son of Ali-asws (Bin Al-Husayn-asws) said, ‘I tried it, and it happened just as my father-asws Ali Bin Al-Husayn-asws had said’.
قَالَ عِيسَى بْنُ زَيْدٍ فَجَرَّبْتُهُ فَكَانَ كَمَا وَصَفَ زَيْدٌ أَبِي
Isa Bin Zayd said, ‘I tried it, and it happened just as my father Zayd had described’.
قَالَ أَحْمَدُ فَجَرَّبْتُهُ فَكَانَ كَمَا ذَكَرُوا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ.
Ahmad said, ‘I tried it, and it happened just as they had mentioned. May Allah-azwj be Satisfied with them all!’’[102]
أقول: أنا إن الذي رويناه و عرفناه أن علي بن الحسين ع كان عالما بالاسم الأعظم هو و جده رسول الله ص و الأئمة من العترة الطاهرين و لكنا ذكرنا ما وجدناه.
Note – I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘That which we have reported and know is that Ali-asws Bin Al-Husayn-asws was a knower of the most Magnificent Name, him-asws and his-saww grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww, and the Imams-asws from the pure offspring, but we mentioned what we found’.
وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَاتِ فِي الِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ أَيْضاً بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ وَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى ابْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ كِتَابَةً مِنْ كِتَابِ التَّهَجُّدِ وَ ذَكَرَ أَنَّ الَّذِي كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ وَ هُوَ مَوْلَانَا مُوسَى بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ ع
And from the reports regarding the most Magnificent Name is what we are reporting as well with our chains to Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Saffar, and by our chain to Ibn Abu Qrrah, written from the book ‘Al-Tawheed’, and he mentioned that the one who was supplicating with it beneath the spout (of the Kabah), he-asws is our Master-asws Musa Bin Ja’far-asws.
وَ هَذَا أَيْضاً رِوَايَةُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ بِإِسْنَادِهِمَا إِلَى سُكَيْنِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: كُنْتُ نَائِماً بِمَكَّةَ فَأَتَى آتٍ فِي مَنَامِي فَقَالَ لِي قُمْ فَإِنَّ تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ رَجُلًا يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ الْأَعْظَمِ
And this as well is a report by Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Saffar, by their chain to Sukeyn Bin Ammar who said, ‘I was asleep in Makkah, and a comer came in my dream. He said to me, ‘Arise, for beneath the spout (of the Kabah) there is a man supplicating to Allah-azwj by His-azwj most Magnificent Name!’
فَفَزِعْتُ وَ نِمْتُ فَنَادَانِي ثَانِيَةً بِمِثْلِ ذَلِكَ فَفَزِعْتُ ثُمَّ نِمْتُ فَلَمَّا كَانَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ قَالَ قُمْ يَا فُلَانَ بْنَ فُلَانٍ فَإِنَّ هَذَا فُلَانُ بْنُ فُلَانٍ يُسَمِّيهِ بِاسْمِهِ وَ اسْمِ أَبِيهِ وَ هُوَ الْعَبْدُ الصَّالِحُ تَحْتَ الْمِيزَابِ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِاسْمِهِ
I was alarmed and fell asleep. He called out for a second time with similar to that. I was alarmed and fell asleep. When it was during the third, he said, ‘Arise, O so and so, son of so and so!’ (naming him-asws and name of his-asws father-asws) he-asws is the righteous servant (Al Kazim-asws) beneath the spout supplicating to Allah-azwj by His-azwj Name!’
فَقَالَ قُمْتُ وَ اغْتَسَلْتُ ثُمَّ دَخَلْتُ الْحِجْرَ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ قَدْ أَلْقَى ثَوْبَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَ هُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَجَلَسْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ
He said, ‘I stood up and washed, then entered Al-Hajr (Al Aswad), and there was a man who had cast his cloth upon his-asws head and he-asws was performing Sajdah. I sat down behind him-asws. I heard him-asws saying: –
يَا نُورُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا نُورُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا نُورُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ يَا حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ يَا حَيُّ لَا يَمُوتُ يَا حَيُّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ يَا حَيُّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ يَا حَيُّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
‘O Light, O Holy, O Light, O Holy, O Light, O Holy! O living, O Eternal, O Living, O Eternal, O Living, O Eternal! O living Who Does not die, O living Who does not die, O Living Who does not die! O Living when there was no living being, O Living when there was no living being, O Living when there was no living being! O Living, there is no god except You-azwj! O Living, there is no god except You-azwj! O Living, there is no god except You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْعَزِيزِ الْمَتِينِ ثَلَاثاً
I-asws ask You-azwj with there is no god except Allah-azwj, I-asws ask You-azwj with there is no god except Allah-azwj, I-asws ask You-azwj with there is no god except Allah-azwj! I-asws ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, the Mighty, the Invincible!’ (thrice).
قَالَ سُكَيْنٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُرَدِّدُ هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتِ حَتَّى حَفِظْتُهَا ثُمَّ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَالْتَفَتَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا فَإِذَا الْفَجْرُ قَدْ طَلَعَ
Sukeyn said, ‘He-asws did not cease repeating these phrases until I had memorised it. Then he-asws raise his-asws head. I turn like this and like this, and the dawn had emerged’.
قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى ظَهْرِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَ هُوَ الْمُسْتَجَارُ فَصَلَّى الْفَرِيضَةَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ.
He said, ‘He-asws came to back of the Kabah and he-asws was seeking the shelter. He-asws prayed the obligatory Salat, then went out’’.[103]
يقول علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن محمد بن الطاوس مؤلف هذا الكتاب إن الأخبار كثيرة من طرق أصحابنا و غيرهم مختلفة في اسم الله الأعظم فاقتصرنا على هذه الروايات لما رأيناه من الصواب.
Ali Bin Musa Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Tawoos, compiler of this book says, ‘The Ahadeeth are many from the paths of our companions and others, different, regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj. We have abridged these upon these reports when we viewed it as being correct.
و ها أنا ذاكر حديثا أيضا في اسم الله الأعظم وجدته غريبا و هذا لفظه أَقُولُ وَ فِي رِوَايَةِ عَطَاءٍ ذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ جَرَّبَ أَنَّهُ اسْمُ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمُ وَ هِيَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا نُورُ يَا نُورُ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ.
And here I am mentioning also a Hadeeth regarding the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj, I found it as being strange, and this is its wording I am saying, and in a report by Ata’a who mentioned that he tried that the most Magnificent Name of Allah-azwj, is it ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Allah-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Allah-azwj! O Beneficent, O Beneficent! O Noor, O Noor! O with the Leniency, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence!’’
دُعَاءٌ فِيهِ الِاسْمُ الْأَعْظَمُ عَنِ الرَّبِيعِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ وَ هِيَ عَلَى التِّسْعَةِ وَ عِشْرِينَ حَرْفاً الَّتِي يَنْطِقُ بِهَا الْعَالِمُ تَقُولُ بَعْدَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ مَهْمَا أَحْبَبْتَ مِائَتَيْ مَرَّةٍ- آمَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ الْأَحَدِ الصَّمَدِ- وَ مِائَتَيْ مَرَّةٍ أَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ مِائَتَيْ مَرَّةٍ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
A supplication in which is the most Magnificent Name, from Al Ravie Bin Anas, and it is based upon twenty-nine phrases which the scholar spoke with. You should say two hundred times after having prayed whenever you like, ‘I believe in Allah-azwj, the First, the Al Samad!’ And two hundred times, ‘I worship Allah-azwj not associating anything with Him-azwj!’ And two hundred times, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ تَدْعُو بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ- يَا مُهَيْمِنُ يَا مُتَعَالِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ اسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَكْبَرِ الْأَجَلِّ الْأَعَزِّ الْأَكْرَمِ الْعَدْلِ النُّورِ وَ هُوَ اسْمُكَ
Then you should supplicate with this supplication – ‘O Overseer! O Exalted! O Living! O Eternal! O Initiator of the skies and the earth! O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! I ask You-azwj by the right of Your-azwj most Magnificent Name, the Greatest, the most Majestic, the Mightiest, the most Honourable, the Just, the Noor, and it is Your-azwj Name!’
ثُمَّ تَدْعُو وَ تَذْكُرُ الِاسْمَ الْأَعْظَمَ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مَا أَعْظَمَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ اهْدِنِي تعبير كيفية حفص لابرح صطفص الم اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Then you should supplicate and mention the most Magnificent Name – ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, how Magnificent is Allah-azwj! There is no god except Allah-azwj, Muhammad-saww is Rasool-saww of Allah-azwj! Guide me in expressing the method of ‘Ha Fa Sa’ so I can leave ‘Sa Ta fa Sa’. Ali Laam Meem! Allah-azwj, there is no god except He-azwj, the Living, the Eternal! There is no god except He-azwj, Lord-azwj of the Magnificent Throne!’
ثُمَّ تَدْعُو عَلَى أَثَرِ ذَلِكَ بِهَذِهِ التِّسْعَةِ وَ عِشْرِينَ اسْماً تَقْرَؤُهُ وَ أَنْتَ مُنْتَصِبٌ فَتَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنَّكَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ رَحْمَانٌ دَيَّانٌ عَظِيمٌ وَاحِدٌ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّي وَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ- وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
Then you should supplicate on the tracks of that with these twenty-nine Name, reading it while you are standing. You should say, ‘O Allah-azwj, I ask You-azwj!

Translator’s note – These come to 110 in my counting (yes 110). Anyway, it is more than 99. Secondly, these are different from the ones well known in the world and their sequencing is different. Thirdly, Shias cannot object because it is from the 6th Imam-asws, and the non-Shias cannot object because it is from their source book.
باب 14 فضل الحوقلة و ما يناسبه زائدا على ما مر في باب الكلمات الأربع التي يفزع إليها و في غيره
CHAPTER 14 – MERIT OF THE ‘HOWQALA’ (SAYING ‘THERE IS NEITHER MIGHT NOR STRENGTH EXCEPT WITH ALLAH-azwj), AND WHAT IS RELATED TO IT, ADDITIONAL UPON WHAT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN THE CHAPTERS ON THE FOUR PHRASES WHICH ONE PANICS TO, AND REGARDING OTHERS
1- نَوَادِرُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص صَنِيعُ الْمَعْرُوفِ يَدْفَعُ مِيتَةَ السَّوْءِ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ فِي السِّرِّ تُطْفِئُ غَضَبَ الرَّبِّ وَ صِلَةُ الرَّحِمِ تَزِيدُ فِي الْعُمُرِ وَ تَنْفِي الْفَقْرَ-
(The book) ‘Nawadir’ of Al Rawandy – By his chain,
‘From Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Doing acts of kindness repels the evil death, and the charity in the secrecy extinguishes Wrath of the Lord-azwj, and connecting the kinship increases in the lifespan and negates the poverty.
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ هُوَ شِفَاءٌ مِنْ تِسْعَةٍ وَ تِسْعِينَ دَاءً أَدْنَاهَا الْهَمُّ.
And (the phrase) ‘وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ’ ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’ is a treasure from treasures of the Paradise, and it is a healing from ninety-nine illnesses, the lease of these being the worries’’.[139]
وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ الْفَقْرُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
And by the chain, said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One upon whom the poverty persists, let him frequent from the words, ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ’ ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’’.[140]
2- دَعَوَاتُ الرَّاوَنْدِيِّ، قَالَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ ع قَوْلُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ يَدْفَعُ أَنْوَاعَ الْبَلَاءِ.
(The book) ‘Dawaat’ of Al Rawandy –
‘Abu Al-Hassan-asws said: ‘The words, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’ repels a variety of afflictions’’.[141]
وَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا تَوَالَتْ عَلَيْكَ الْهُمُومُ فَقُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
And Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When the worries pile up on you, then say, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’’.[142]
وَ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ جَاءَ عَوْنُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ الْأَشْجَعِيُّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ ابْنِي قَدْ أَسَرَهُ الْعَدُوُّ وَ قَدِ اشْتَدَّ غَمِّي وَ عِيلَ صَبْرِي فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي
And Ibn Abbas said,
‘Awn Bin Malik Al-Ashjaie came to the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! My son, the enemies have imprisoned him and my sadness has intensified, and my chest is pained. What are you-asws instructing me?’
قَالَ آمُرُكَ أَنْ تُكْثِرَ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ
He-saww said: ‘I-saww instruct you to frequent from the words, ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ’ ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj in all situations’!’
فَانْصَرَفَ وَ هُوَ يَقُولُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ فَبَيْنَا هُوَ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُ ابْنُهُ مَعَهُ مِائَةٌ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ غَفَلَ عَنْهَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ فَاسْتَاقَهَا
He left, and he was saying, ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj upon all situations!’ While he was like that when his son came to him and with him were a hundred camels. The Polytheists were heedless about it. He was ushering these.
فَأَتَى الْأَشْجَعِيُّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَذَكَرَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ وَ مَنْ يَتَّقِ اللَّهَ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ مَخْرَجاً- وَ يَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لا يَحْتَسِبُ.
Al-Ashjaie came to Rasool-Allah-saww and mentioned that to him-saww. So this Verse was Revealed: And one who fears Allah, He would Make an outlet for him [65:2] And He would Sustain him from where he does not anticipate [65:3]’’.[143]
وَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص مَنْ حَلِيَ فِي عَيْنِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ فَقَالَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ مُنِعَ أَ لَا تَرَى إِلَى قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى- وَ لَوْ لا إِذْ دَخَلْتَ جَنَّتَكَ قُلْتَ ما شاءَ اللَّهُ لا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.
And from the Prophet-saww: ‘One, something is sweet in his eyes from the family, and the wealth and the children, so he says, ‘Whatever Allah-azwj Desires. There is no strength except with Allah-azwj’, would be defended. Don’t you see Words of the Exalted: And, if only you had said when you entered your garden, ‘Whatever Allah so Desires, there is no Strength except by Allah!’ [18:39]’’.[144]
3- الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ، فِي فَضَائِلِ الذِّكْرِ لِلْفِرْيَابِيِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ دَفَعَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ سَبْعِينَ بَاباً مِنَ الضُّرِّ أَدْنَاهَا الْفَقْرُ.
(The book) ‘Al Balad Al Ameen’ in ‘Fazail Al Zikr’ of Al Firbany –
‘One who says, ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ وَ لَا مَلْجَأَ مِنْهُ إِلَّا إِلَيْهِ’ ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj and there is not shelter from Him-azwj except to Him-azwj’, Allah-azwj will repel from him seven types of harms, the least of it is the poverty’’.[145]
4- وَ رَأَيْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص قَالَ: مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ أَحَدٌ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ إِلَّا كُفِّرَتْ عَنْهُ خَطَايَاهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ مِثْلَ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ.
And I said in the handwriting of Al Shaheed, may Allah-azwj Mercy him,
‘The Prophet-saww said: ‘There is no one upon the earth saying, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj’, except Allah-azwj will Atone his wrongdoings for him, and even if these were like foam of the sea’’.[146]
باب 15 الاستغفار و فضله و أنواعه

And Said (In Surah) Al Nisaa: And seek Forgiveness of Allah; surely Allah would always be Forgiving, Merciful [4:106].

الكهف وَ ما مَنَعَ النَّاسَ أَنْ يُؤْمِنُوا إِذْ جاءَهُمُ الْهُدى وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَأْتِيَهُمْ سُنَّةُ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَوْ يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْعَذابُ قُبُلًا
(Surah) Al Kahf: And what prevents the people from believing when the Guidance comes to them, and seeking Forgiveness of their Lord, except that there has come to them the ways of the former ones, or the Punishment should come facing them? [18:55].
النمل لَوْ لا تَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُرْحَمُونَ

(Surah) Muhammad-saww: So know that there is no god except Allah, and seek Forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and the believing women [47:19].
نوح فَقُلْتُ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كانَ غَفَّاراً- يُرْسِلِ السَّماءَ عَلَيْكُمْ مِدْراراً- وَ يُمْدِدْكُمْ بِأَمْوالٍ وَ بَنِينَ وَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَ يَجْعَلْ لَكُمْ أَنْهاراً

(The book) ‘Al Amaali’ of Al Sadouq – Ibn Al Mugheira, from his grandfather, from his grandfather, from Al Sakuni,
‘From Al-Sadiq-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww inform you all with something, of you were to do it, the Satan-la will be distant from you just as the east is distant from the west?’
قَالُوا بَلَى
They said, ‘Yes’.
قَالَ الصَّوْمُ يُسَوِّدُ وَجْهَهُ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ تَكْسِرُ ظَهْرَهُ وَ الْحُبُّ فِي اللَّهِ وَ الْمُوَازَرَةُ عَلَى الْعَمَلِالصَّالِحِ يَقْطَعَانِ دَابِرَهُ وَ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ يَقْطَعُ وَتِينَهُ وَ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ زَكَاةٌ وَ زَكَاةُ الْأَبْدَانِ الصِّيَامُ.
He-saww said: ‘The fasting darkens his-la face, and the charity breaks his-la back, and the loving for the Sake of Allah-azwj and the supporting each other upon the righteous deed cuts off his-la tail, and seeking the Forgiveness cuts his-la aorta; and for all things there is Zakat, and Zakat of the bodies is the fasting’’.[147]

(The book) ‘Ma’any Al Akhbaar’ – Ali Bin Ahmad Al Tabari, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali Bin Zakariya, from Khirash, slave of Anas, from Anas (well known fabricator) who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Doing Zikr of Allah-azwj in the morning and the evening is better than clashing the swords in the way of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, meaning for the one who does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in the morning and recalling what had happened from him during a night from his evil deeds, and seeking Forgiveness of Allah-azwj and repenting to Him-azwj! When he goes out in seeking what Allah-azwj has Apportioned for him, he would go out and his evil deeds would drop off from him, and his sins would have been Forgiven for him.
وَ إِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِالْآصَالِ وَ هِيَ الْعَشِيَّاتُ رَاجَعَ نَفْسَهُ فِيمَا كَانَ مِنْهُ يَوْمَهُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ سَرَفٍ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ إِضَاعَةٍ لِأَمْرِ رَبِّهِ فَإِذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى وَ أَنَابَ رَاحَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ وَ قَدْ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُ يَوْمِهِ
And when he does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic in the evenings, and it is the nights, he retracts himself regarding whatever had happened from him during that day of his, from having been extravagant upon himself and wastage of a Command of his Lord-azwj. When he does Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and it penitent, he would go to his family and sins of his day would have been Forgiven for him.
وَ إِنَّمَا تُحْمَدُ الشَّهَادَةُ أَيْضاً إِذَا كَانَ مِنْ تَائِبٍ إِلَى اللَّهِ مُسْتَغْفِرٍ مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ.
And rather the testimony as well is praise when it was from one repentant to Allah-azwj, seeking Forgiveness from having disobeyed Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic’’.[155]

عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَحْدَثَ الْعَبْدُ ذَنْباً جُدِّدَ لَهُ نقمة [نِعْمَةٌ] فَيَدَعُ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ فَهُوَ الِاسْتِدْرَاجُ وَ كَانَ مِنْ أَيْمَانِهِ ص لَا وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.
From Al-Sadiq-asws having said: ‘When the servant commits a sin, a scourge is renewed for him. So, he leaves seeking the Forgiveness. It is the gradualness (of deception), and it was from his-saww oath: ‘No, and I-saww seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj!’’[170]
وَ قَالَ ع مَنْ أَذْنَبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ذَنْباً أُجِّلَ مِنْ غُدُوِّهِ إِلَى اللَّيْلِ فَإِنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ لَمْ يُكْتَبْ عَلَيْهِ.
And he-asws said: ‘One from the believers who commits a sin, is Respited from his morning to the night. If he seeks Forgiveness, it is not written against him’’.[171]
وَ قَالَ ع إِنَّ الْمُؤْمِنَ لَيُذَكِّرُهُ اللَّهُ الذَّنْبَ بَعْدَ بِضْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى يَسْتَغْفِرَ اللَّهَ مِنْهُ فَيَغْفِرَ لَهُ.
And he-asws said: ‘The Momin, Allah-azwj Reminds him of the sin after some twenty-five years until he seeks Forgiveness of Allah-azwj from it, so He-azwj Forgives for him’’.[172]
وَ عَنْهُ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص الِاسْتِغْفَارُ وَ قَوْلُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ خَيْرُ الْعِبَادَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ.
And from him-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘Seeking the Forgiveness, and the words, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, are the best acts of worship. Allah-azwj the Mighty, the Subduer Says: So know that there is no god except Allah, and seek Forgiveness for your sin [47:19]’’.[173]

And the Prophet-saww said: ‘The most superior knowledge is (knowing) there is no god except Allah-azwj, and the most superior supplication is seeking the Forgiveness’. Then Rasool-Allah-saww recited: So know that there is no god except Allah, and seek Forgiveness for your sin [47:19]’’.[175]

And the Prophet-saww said: ‘He is not persistent (upon the sins), one who seeks Forgiveness, and even if he were to repeat it seventy times during the day’’.[176]
وَ قَالَ ع إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي حَتَّى أَسْتَغْفِرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
And he-asws said: ‘It surrounds upon my-asws heart until I-asws seek forgiveness one hundred times during the day’’.[177]
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ ظَلَمَ أَحَداً فَفَاتَهُ فَلْيَسْتَغْفِرِ اللَّهَ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُ كَفَّارَةٌ.
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who is unjust to someone, so he misses it (opportunity to seek his forgiveness), let him seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj for him, for it would be an atonement’’.[178]
وَ قَالَ ع كَفَّارَةُ الِاغْتِيَابِ أَنْ تَسْتَغْفِرَ لِمَنِ اغْتَبْتَهُ.
And he-asws said: ‘An atonement of the backbiting is your seeking Forgiveness for the one you had backbitten’’.[179]
وَ قَالَ الرِّضَا ع مَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ وَ هُوَ يَعْمَلُهُ فَكَأَنَّمَا يَسْتَهْزِئُ بِرَبِّهِ.
And Al-Reza-asws said: ‘One who seeks Forgiveness from a sin and he does it (again), it is as if he has mocked his Lord-azwj’’.[180]
وَ قَالَ ع خَيْرُ الْقَوْلِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ خَيْرُ الْعِبَادَةِ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ.
And he-asws said: ‘Best of the word is, ‘There is no god except Allah-azwj’, and best of the worship is seeking the Forgiveness’’.[181]
وَ قَالَ ص أَ لَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِدَائِكُمْ مِنْ دَوَائِكُمْ
And he-saww said: ‘Shall I-saww inform you all with your illnesses from your cure?’
قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ
We said, ‘Yes, O Rasool-Allah-saww!’
قَالَ دَاؤُكُمُ الذُّنُوبُ وَ دَوَاؤُكُمُ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ.
He-saww said: ‘Your illnesses are the sins, and your cure is seeking the Forgiveness!’’[182]

As for the security which has been Raised, it is Rasool-Allah-saww, and as for the security remaining, it is seeking the Forgiveness. Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Says from a speaker: 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]’’.[198]

‘From Abu Abdullah-asws: ‘When the servant seeks the Forgiveness a lot, his register is raised while it is sparkling’’.[202]
وَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع مَثَلُ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ مَثَلُ وَرَقَةِ شَجَرَةٍ تَحَرَّكُ فَتَتَنَاثَرُ وَ الْمُسْتَغْفِرُ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ وَ هُوَ يَفْعَلُهُ كَالْمُسْتَهْزِئِ بِرَبِّهِ.
And from Al-Reza-asws: ‘An example of seeking the Forgiveness is like leaves of a tree which move, so they scatter (and drop off), and the seeker of the Forgiveness from a sin, and he (still) does it is like the one mocking his Lord-azwj’’.[203]

(The book) ‘Falah Al Saail’ –
It is reported from our Master-asws Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, one day he-asws was seated in a crowd of people from the Emigrants and the Helpers. A man from them said, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj!’
عَلِيٌّ ع كَالْمُغْضَبِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ يَا وَيْلَكَ أَ تَدْرِي مَا الِاسْتِغْفَارُ الِاسْتِغْفَارُ اسْمٌ وَاقِعٌ عَلَى سِتَّةِ أَقْسَامٍ الْأَوَّلُ النَّدَمُ عَلَى مَا مَضَى الثَّانِي الْعَزْمُ عَلَى تَرْكِ الْعَوْدِ إِلَيْهِ الثَّالِثُ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَى كُلِّ فَرِيضَةٍ ضَيَّعْتَهَا فَتُؤَدِّيَهَا
Ali-asws turned to him like the angered one and said to him: ‘O woe be to you! Do you know what is seeking the Forgiveness? Seeking the Forgiveness is a name falling upon six segments! The first is the regret upon what has passed; the second is the determination upon leaving the returning to it; the third is to deliberate to every obligation you have wasted so you fulfil it.
الرَّابِعُ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ إِلَى النَّاسِ مِمَّا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ حَتَّى تَلْقَى اللَّهَ أَمْلَسَ وَ لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ تَبِعَةٌ الْخَامِسُ أَنْ تَعْمِدَ إِلَى اللَّحْمِ الَّذِي نَبَتَ عَلَى السُّحْتِ تُذْهِبُهُ بِالْأَحْزَانِ حَتَّى تَنْبُتَ لَحْمٌ غَيْرُهُ السَّادِسُ أَنْ تُذِيقَ الْجِسْمَ مَرَارَةَ الطَّاعَةِ كَمَا أَذَقْتَهُ حَلَاوَةَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ فَحِينَئِذٍ تَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ.
The fourth is your going out to the people from what is between you and them until you meet Allah-azwj smoothly and there isn’t any grievance (from the people) upon you; the fifth is that you deliberate to the flesh which has been built upon the ill-gotten gains. You should melt it with the grieving until you build flesh other than it, so the body will taste the bitterness of the obedience just as it had tasted the sweetness of the disobedience. At that time you should say, ‘أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ’ ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj!’’[205]
34- الدُّرُّ الْمَنْثُورُ، عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ قَالَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثاً غُفِرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فَرَّ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ.
(The book) ‘Al Durr Al Mansour’ – from Ibn Masoud who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who says, ‘أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ’ ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj the Living, the Eternal, and I repent to Him-azwj’, thrice, his sins would be Forgiven, and even if he had fled from the battle march’’.[206]
وَ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ: مَنْ قَالَ هَذَا الِاسْتِغْفَارَ خَمْسَ مَرَّاتٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ ذُنُوبٌ مِثْلُ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ.
And from Abu Saeed Al Khudry who said,
‘One who says this seeking of Forgiveness five times, (sins) would be Forgiven for him, and even if there were sins upon him like foam of the sea’’.[207] (Not a Hadeeth)
