اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي عَلَى هُدًى وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ لَقِّنِّي الْكَلِمَاتِ الَّتِي لَقَّنْتَهَا آدَمَ فَتُبْتَ عَلَيْهِ- إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! Make me to be from those who are believing in the unseen and are establishing the Salat, and from what We have Graced them, they are spending [2:3], and Make me to be upon guidance and Make me from the guided ones, and Indoctrinate me the world which You-azwj had Indoctrinate these to Adam-as so You-azwj Turned to him-as, surely You-azwj are the Oft-Turning the Merciful!

O Allah-azwj! Make me from the one establishing the Salat and giving the Zakat, and Make me from the fearful ones, those who are seeking Forgiveness with the patience and the Salat, and Make me from those there will neither be fear upon them nor will they be grieving!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ- الَّذِينَ إِذا أَصابَتْهُمْ مُصِيبَةٌ قالُوا إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَ إِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ وَ اجْعَلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَ رَحْمَةً وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the patient ones, those who, when a difficulty befalls them, are saying: We are for Allah and we are returning to Him’ [2:156], and Make Salawaat, and Mercy from You-azwj upon me, and Make me from the guided ones!
اللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِي بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Affirm with the Firm Word in the life of the world and in the Hereafter, [14:27], and do not Make me from the unjust ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّاهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلامٌ عَلَيْكُمْ ادْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ بِما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those whom the Angels cause to die in a good state saying: ‘Peace be upon you! Enter the Paradise due to what you had been doing’ [16:32]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ صَبَرُوا وَ عَلى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those who are patience and are relying upon their Lord-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ- سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي وَ نَجِّنِي مِنَ النَّارِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Fire, and Make me from those who are pious and those who are good doers [16:128] Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87]. Respond to me and Save me from the Hellfire, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُخْبِتِينَ الَّذِينَ إِذَا ذَكَرُوا آيَاتِكَ وَجِلَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ وَ الصَّابِرِينَ عَلى ما أَصابَهُمْ وَ الْمُقِيمِي الصَّلاةِ وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ
O Allah-azwj, and Make me from the humble ones, those when Your-azwj Signs are mentioned, their hearts tremble; and the patient ones upon what afflicts them; and the pious ones, the establishers of the Salat, and from what We Graced them, they are spending [22:35]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي صَلاتِهِمْ خاشِعُونَ- وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضُونَ- وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِلزَّكاةِ فاعِلُونَ- وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِفُرُوجِهِمْ حافِظُونَ إِلَّا عَلى أَزْواجِهِمْ أَوْ ما مَلَكَتْ أَيْمانُهُمْ فَإِنَّهُمْ غَيْرُ مَلُومِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those who are humble in their Salats [23:2] And those who are turning away from the vanities [23:3] And those who are givers of the Zakat [23:4] And those who are guarding their private parts [23:5] Except before their spouses or those whom their right hands possess, for they are not blameable [23:6]!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ لِأَماناتِهِمْ وَ عَهْدِهِمْ راعُونَ- وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ بِشَهاداتِهِمْ قائِمُونَ- وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلى صَلاتِهِمْ يُحافِظُونَ إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ قَدْ مَرَّ ذِكْرُهُ فِي الرِّوَايَةِ الْأُولَى.

اليوم الثاني و العشرون

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يَلْقَاكَ مُؤْمِناً قَدْ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ وَ مِمَّنْ أَسْكَنْتَهُ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى فِي جَنَّاتِ عَدَنٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the ones who will meet You-azwj as believers having worked righteous deeds, and from the ones You-azwj will Settle them in the exalted ranks in the Gardens of Eden, the rivers flowing from beneath these!

اليوم الثالث و العشرون
The twenty-third day
إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَ أُوتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَها عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ-
I found a woman ruling them, and she has been given from everything, and for her is a magnificent throne [27:23].
وَجَدْتُها وَ قَوْمَها يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أَعْمالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لا يَهْتَدُونَ-
I found her and her people doing Sajdah to the sun instead of Allah, and the Satan has adorned their deeds for them. Thus, he blocked them from the Way, so they are not going aright [27:24].
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ يَعْلَمُ ما تُخْفُونَ وَ ما تُعْلِنُونَ-
They are not doing Sajdah to Allah Who Extracts the cache in the skies and the earth, and He Knows what you are concealing and what you are proclaiming [27:25].
اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ-
Allah, there is no god except Him. He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [27:26].
فَذُوقُوا بِما نَسِيتُمْ لِقاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هذا إِنَّا نَسِيناكُمْ وَ ذُوقُوا عَذابَ الْخُلْدِ بِما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ-
Therefore taste! Due to your having forgotten this Day of yours, We will Forsake you (today). And taste the eternal Punishment due to what you had been doing!” [32:14].
إِنَّما يُؤْمِنُ بِآياتِنَا الَّذِينَ إِذا ذُكِّرُوا بِها خَرُّوا سُجَّداً وَ سَبَّحُوا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ هُمْ لا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ-
But rather, only those believe in Our Signs who, when they are reminded of these, fall down in Sajdah and Glorify the Praise of their Lord, and they are not being arrogant [32:15].
تَتَجافى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ-
Their sides forsake their beds, supplicating to their Lord in fear and in hope, and they are spending from what We Graced them [32:16].
فَلا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ ما أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
So no soul knows what is hidden for them from delight of the eyes, being a Recompense of what they had been doing [32:17].
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ جَعَلْتَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتِ الْمَأْوَى نُزُلًا بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those whom You-azwj have Made for them the Gardens of Al Mawa being a hospitality due to what they had been doing [32:19].
قالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلى نِعاجِهِ وَ إِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْخُلَطاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ وَ قَلِيلٌ ما هُمْ وَ ظَنَّ داوُدُ أَنَّما فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَ خَرَّ راكِعاً وَ أَنابَ-
He (Dawood) said: ‘He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to (be added) to his ewes, and surely most of the partners tend to transgress upon each other except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and they are few’. And Dawood rather thought We had Tried him, so he sought Forgiveness of his Lord and fell down in Ruku and was penitent [38:24].
وَ مِنْ آياتِهِ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهارُ وَ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ- لا تَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّمْسِ وَ لا لِلْقَمَرِ وَ اسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
And from His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Neither do Sajdah to the sun nor to the moon, and do Sajdah to Allah Who Created you, if it is Him you are worshipping [41:37].
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ أَنَا الْمُذْنِبُ الْخَاطِئُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمُعْطِي وَ أَنَا السَّائِلُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَخْلُوقُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَالِكُ وَ أَنَا الْمَمْلُوكُ
O Allah-azwj, You-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful, and I am the sinner, the wrongdoer! O Allah-azwj, You-azwj are the Giver and I am the beggar! O Allah-azwj, You-azwj are the Creator and I am the created! O Allah-azwj, You-azwj are the Owner and I am the owned!
اللَّهُمَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَ عَذابَها كانَ غَراماً- إِنَّها ساءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَ مُقاماً
‘Our Lord! Turn away from us the Punishment of Hell! Surely, its Punishment would be inseparable [25:65] Surely, it is an evil abode and (an evil) place to stay [25:66] (Allah Said): “And they are saying, ‘We hear and we obey’”.
رَبَّنَا سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ-
(The Rasool said): ‘Yours is the Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the Destination’ [2:285].
رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْماً وَ لا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ-
‘Lord! Increase me in knowledge!’ [20:114] And do not Disgrace on the Day they would be Resurrected [26:87].
رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصِيراً-
And say: ‘Lord! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80].
رَبِّ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلًا مُبارَكاً وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ-
‘Lord! Disembark me in a Blessed landing, and you are the best of the Landers’ [23:29].
رَبِّ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي وَ يَسِّرْ لِي أَمْرِي-
‘Lord! Expand my chest for me [20:25] And Ease my matter for me [20:26].
رَبَّنَا اغْفِرْ لَنا وَ لِإِخْوانِنَا الَّذِينَ سَبَقُونا بِالْإِيمانِ وَ لا تَجْعَلْ فِي قُلُوبِنا غِلًّا لِلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ رَؤُفٌ رَحِيمٌ
‘Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who preceded us with the Eman, and do not Make a grudge to be in our hearts towards those who are believing! Our Lord, You are Kind, Merciful [59:10].
رَبَّنَا وَ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا وَ اهْدِنَا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ أَعْمَارِنَا آخِرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِنَا خَوَاتِمَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَيَّامِنَا يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ وَ اخْتِمْ لَنَا بِالسَّعَادَةِ

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ فَإِنِّي بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ الْغَمِّ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ أَنْتَ رَحْمَانُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمُهُمَا وَ ارْحَمْنِي فِي جَمِيعِ حَوَائِجِي رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ

اللَّهُمَّ بِنُورِكَ اهْتَدَيْتُ وَ بِفَضْلِكَ اسْتَغْنَيْتُ وَ فِي نِعْمَتِكَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ ذُنُوبِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْقَرِيبُ الْمُجِيبُ الْمُتَدَانِي دُونَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قُرْبُهُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَالِي الشَّامِخُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فَوْقَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ عُلُوُّ ارْتِفَاعِهِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ بَدِيعُ الْبَدَائِعِ وَ مُعِيدُهَا بَعْدَ فَنَائِهَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْجَلِيلُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ فَالْعَدْلُ أَمْرُهُ وَ الصِّدْقُ وَعْدُهُ-
There is no god except Allah-azwj the Near, the Responder. His-azwj Nearness is closer to all things! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Lofty in the sky above all things, Exalted is His-azwj Loftiness! There is no god except Allah-azwj Initiator of the beginnings and their Repeater after their annihilation by His-azwj Power! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Majestic, the Great upon all things! His-azwj Command is Just and His-azwj Promise is True!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْمَجِيدُ فَلَا تَبْلُغُ الْأَوْهَامُ كُلَّ شَأْنِهِ وَ مَجْدِهِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْكَرِيمُ الْعَفُوُّ وَ الْعَدْلُ الَّذِي مَلَأَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَدْلُهُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَظِيمُ ذُو الثَّنَاءِ الْفَاخِرِ وَ الْعِزِّ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ فَلَا يَذِلُّ عِزُّهُ
There is no god except Allah-azwj the Glorious! The imaginations cannot reach all of His-azwj State and His-azwj Glory! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Benevolent of the Pardoning and the Justice Whose Justice fills all things! There is no god except Allah-azwj the Magnificent with the Praise, the Pride, and the Honour, and the Greatness. His-azwj Honour cannot be humiliated!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَجِيبُ فَلَا تَنْطِقُ الْأَلْسُنُ بِكُلِّ آلَائِهِ وَ ثَنَائِهِ وَ هُوَ كَمَا أَثْنَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ وَصَفَهَا بِهِ اللَّهُ الرَّحْمَنُ الرَّحِيمُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ الْبُرْهَانُ الْعَظِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ الرَّبُّ الْكَرِيمُ السَّلامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ الْخالِقُ الْبارِئُ الْمُصَوِّرُ النُّورُ الْحَمِيدُ الْكَبِيرُ-
There is no god except He-azwj the Marvellous. The tongues cannot speak with all of His-azwj Favours, and His-azwj Praises, and He-azwj is just as He-azwj has Praised upon Himself-azwj and Described by it! Allah-azwj the Beneficent the Merciful, the Manifest Truth, the Magnificent Proof, the All-Knowing, the Benevolent Lord-azwj, the Granter of Peace, the Dominant, the Mighty, the Subduer, the Greatness, the Creator, the Maker, the Fashioner, the Noor, the Praise, the Great!
لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
There is no god but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]!’’[9]
اليوم الثلاثون
The thirtieth day
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اشْرَحْ لِي صَدْرِي إِلَى آخِرِ الدُّعَاءِ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Expand my chest for me’ – up to end of the supplication’’.[10]
و قد مر ذكره في آخر الرواية الأولى هذا آخر ما أورده السيد بن طاوس رحمه الله في كتاب الدروع الواقية من أدعية أيام الشهر
And it has been previously mentioned at the end of the first report. This is the last of what Sayyid Ibn Tawus, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, included in his book Al-Duroo’ Al-Waqiyah from the supplications for the days of the month.
و أما الأدعية المنقولة لأيام الشهر في كتاب العدد القوية فأقول نحن قد أشرنا في الفصل الثاني من فصول أوائل كتابنا هذا في المقدمة أنا لم نعثر من كتاب العدد القوية لدفع المخاوف اليومية تأليف الشيخ الجليل رضي الدين علي بن يوسف بن المطهر الحلي أخي العلامة رحمه الله إلا على النصف الآخر منه و لم نقف على النصف الأول منه
As for the supplications transmitted for the days of the month in the book Al-‘Iddah Al-Qawiyyah, I say that we have mentioned in the second chapter of the early sections of this book, in the introduction, that we have not found the entire book Al-‘Iddah Al-Qawiyyah li Daf’ Al-Makhaweef Al-Yawmiyyah, authored by the great Shaykh Radi al-Din Ali ibn Yusuf ibn al-Mutahhar al-Hilli, the brother of Allama Al Hilli, may Allah-azwj Mercy him. We have only come across the second half of it and have not found the first half.
و المذكور في النصف الأخير منه إنما هو من أدعية اليوم الخامس عشر من الشهر إلى آخره و لم يذكر فيه أدعية الأيام التي قبله فلذلك اقتصرنا هنا على إيراد أدعية الأيام المذكورة فيه و عسى الله أن يوفق من يأتي بعدنا لأن يعثر على النصف الأول منه أيضا فيلحق أدعية الأيام السابقة أيضا هنا و يمن بذلك علينا و الله الموفق.
The supplications mentioned in the latter half of the book are from the 15th day of the month until the end, and the supplications for the earlier days are not included. For this reason, we have limited ourselves here to presenting the supplications for the days mentioned in the portion we have found. Perhaps Allah-azwj will Grant success to someone after us to discover the first half as well, so they may append the supplications for the earlier days, and may this be a Favour upon us. And Allah is the Granter of success.
على أن ما نقلناه آنفا من الدروع الواقية للسيد بن طاوس يشتمل على كثير مما هو متعلق بأدعية الأيام المتروكة من الشهر أيضا و فيه كفاية إن شاء الله تعالى إذ الظاهر من الشيخ رضي الدين علي أخي العلامة أنه قد أخذ أكثره من كتاب الدروع للسيد بن طاوس رحمه الله المشار إليه و الله يعلم و بالجملة قد قال قدس سره في كتاب العدد القوية.
Moreover, what we have previously transmitted from Al-Duroo’ Al-Waqiyah by Sayyid Ibn Tawus contains much that is also related to the supplications for the omitted days of the month, and it is sufficient, Allah-azwj Willing. It appears that Shaykh Radi al-Din Ali, the brother of Allama, had taken most of it from Al-Duroo’ by Sayyid Ibn Tawus, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, as mentioned earlier. And Allah-azwj Knows best. In any case, he, may his soul be sanctified, said in Al-‘Iddah Al-Qawiyyah: –
اليوم الخامس عشر
The fifteenth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع أَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُبَارَكٌ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ غَيْرِهِ فَاطْلُبُوا فِيهِ الْحَوَائِجَ فَإِنَّهَا مَقْضِيَّةٌ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a Blessed day, correct for every need, and the journey and other such, therefore seek the needs in it for it would be fulfilled’’.[11]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَحْذُورٌ نَحْسٌ فِي كُلِّ الْأُمُورِ إِلَّا مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَسْتَقْرِضَ أَوْ يُقْرِضَ أَوْ يُشَاهِدَ مَا يَشْتَرِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ قَابِيلُ وَ كَانَ مَلْعُوناً وَ هُوَ الَّذِي قَتَلَ أَخَاهُ فَاحْذَرُوا فِيهِ كُلَّ الْحَذَرِ فَفِيهِ الْغَضَبُ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ مَاتَ.
And in another report: ‘Hazardous, inauspicious regarding all matters except one who wants to borrow or lend, or witness what he buys. Qabeel-la was born in it, and he-la was accursed, and he-la is the one who killed his-la brother-as, therefore be careful in it with every carefulness for in it is the Wrath, and one who is sick during it would die’’.[12]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ بَرِئَ عَاجِلًا وَ مَنْ هَرَبَ ظُفِرَ بِهِ فِي كلِّ مَكَانٍ غَرِيبٍ- وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ سَيِّئَ الْخُلُقِ.
And in another report: ‘One who is sick during it would recover quickly, and one who flees would win with it in every strange place, and one who is born during it would be of evil manners’’.[13]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ أَلْثَغَ أَوْ أَخْرَسَ أَوْ ثَقِيلَ اللِّسَانِ.
And in another report: ‘One born during it would be speech impediment, or mute, or heavy tongue’’.[14]
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ أَخْرَسَ أَوْ أَلْثَغَ.
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One born during it would be mute or have a speech impediment’’.[15]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف و في رواية أخرى أنه يوم مبارك يصلح لكل عمل و حاجة و الأحلام فيه تصح بعد ثلاثة أيام يحمد فيه لقاء القضاة و العلماء و التعليم و طلب ما عند الرؤساء و الكتاب.
And the Persians said it is a light day, and in another report it is a Blessed day correct for every work and need, and the dream in it would be proven correct after three days. Praised in it is meeting the Judges, and the scholars, and the learning, and seeking what is with the chiefs and the scribes.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه ديمهر روز اسم من أسماء الله تعالى.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, said, ‘‘Deymohar Rouz’, name from Names of Allah-azwj the Exalted’.
أقول قد أوردنا نحن كثيرا مما يتعلق بأحوال أيام الشهور من سعدها و نحسها و سوانحها في كتاب السماء و العالم و ذكرنا أسامي شهور الفرس و أيامها و معانيها أيضا بما لا مزيد عليه فتذكر.
I am saying, ‘We have referred many from what is related with states of the days of the month, from their fortunate and their unfortunate, and their evil in the book, ‘The sky and the world’, and we have mentioned names of the Persian month and their days and their meanings with what there is no additional upon it, so recall.
و اعلم أن المراد من الأيام في هذا المقام لا يخلو من اشتباه و إجمال بل و كذا من الأيام المنقولة من كتاب الدروع الواقية و غيره المذكورة آنفا أيضا و ذلك لاحتمال أن يكون المراد منها أيام شهور الفرس كما يومئ إليه فحوى بعض الأخبار و السياق أيضا و من ذلك قوله و قالت الفرس و قال سلمان إلخ فتأمل.
And know that the intended meaning of ‘days’ in this context is not free from ambiguity and vagueness, and similarly with the days mentioned earlier from Al-Duroo’ Al-Waqiyah and other sources. This is because it is possible that what is meant by ‘days’ here are the days of the Persian months, as some narrations and the context suggest. This is indicated by statements like ‘the Persians said’ and ‘Salman-ra said,’ etc., so ponder.
و يحتمل كون المقصود منها أيام الشهور العربية على ما يرشد إلى ذلك ظواهر كلام هؤلاء العلماء و مطاوي بعض الروايات المذكورة في هذا المبحث و غيره أيضا فتدبر و الله الهادي إلى سبيل الرشاد.
It is also possible that what is meant by ‘days’ are the days of the Arabic (Islamic) months, as suggested by the apparent meanings of the words of these scholars and the implications of some of the narrations mentioned in this discussion and elsewhere. So reflect upon this, and Allah-azwj is the Guide to the path of righteousness.
ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى كُلُّهَا وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ
Then he, may his soul be sanctified, the supplication in its beginning, ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this new day and this new month, and Lord-azwj of all things! For You-azwj are the most excellent Names, all of them, and the exalted Examples, and the Greatness, and the Favours!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ الْمَكْرُوهِ أَنْ تَصْرِفَهُ عَنِّي وَ تُبَاعِدَهُ مِنِّي وَ مَا قَسَمْتَ مِنْ رِزْقٍ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فَاجْعَلْ قِسْمِي فِيهِ الْأَوْفَرَ وَ نَصِيبِي فِيهِ الْأَكْثَرَ وَ اكْفِنِي شُرُورَ عِبَادِكَ حَتَّى لَا أَخَافَ مَعَكَ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, if You‑azwj have in this day, from the afflictions and the abhorrence, to Turn it away from me and Distance it, and whatever You-azwj have Apportioned from sustenance between Your-azwj servants, so Make this portion of mine during it to be plentiful, and my share in it to be abundant, and Suffice me of evil of Your-azwj servants until I don’t fear anyone from Your-azwj creatures, with You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ اسْمِي فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ أَنْ تُؤْتِيَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً فَقِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Make my name among the fortunate ones, and my soul to be with the martyrs, and my good deeds in the Illiyeen, and my evil deeds to be Forgiven, and to Gift to me certainty to embrace my heart with it, and to Satisfy me with what You-azwj have Apportioned for me, and to Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter, so Save me from the Fire by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful!’’[16]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ صَلَاتُهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً
And it is recommended that one should supplicated during it as well with this supplication, ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful, and may His-azwj Salawaat be upon our chief Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, the Pure, and abundant greetings!

O Allah-azwj! We seek Refuge with You-azwj from exhaustion of the afflictions, and facing wretchedness and gloating by the enemies! ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدَيْكَ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِي قَضَائِكَ عَدْلٌ فِي حُكْمِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I am Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj maid! My forelock is in Your-azwj Hand! There is certainty in Your-azwj Decree and Justice in Your-azwj Judgment!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَ نُورَ صَدْرِي وَ جَلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَ ذَهَابَ غَمِّي وَ حُزْنِي وَ هَمِّي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
I ask You-azwj by every Name You-azwj have Named Yourself-azwj with, or Revealed it in Your-azwj Book, or Taught it to anyone from Your-azwj creatures, or Preferred with in Knowledge of the unseen in Your-azwj Possession, to Make the Quran a nourisher of my heart and Noor of my heart, and negation of my grief, and remover of my sadness and my grief and my worries by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي بِالْقُرْآنِ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لِي إِمَاماً وَ نُوراً بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ وَ هُدًى وَ رَحْمَةً
O Allah-azwj! Mercy me with the Quran, and Make it an imam for me, and Noor in front of me, and guidance and Mercy!

اليوم السادس عشر
The sixteenth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ رَدِيءٌ فَلَا تُسَافِرْ فِيهِ فَمَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ هَلَكَ وَ يَنَالُهُ مَكْرُوهٌ فَاجْتَنِبُوا فِيهِ الْحَرَكَاتِ وَ اتَّقُوا فِيهِ الْحَوَائِجَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَلَا تَطْلُبُوا فِيهِ حَاجَةً وَ يُكْرَهُ فِيهِ لِقَاءُ السُّلْطَانِ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a day of continuous inauspiciousness, bad, so do not travel during it. The one two travels during it will suffer, and abhorrence will hit him, therefore shun the movement in it, and fear in it the needs for as much as you can so do not seek any need during it, and it is disliked to meet the ruler’’.[20]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ يَصْلُحُ لِلتِّجَارَةِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الْمُشَارَكَةِ وَ الْخُرُوجِ إِلَى الْبَحْرِ وَ يَصْلُحُ لِلْأَبْنِيَةِ وَ وَضْعِ الْأَسَاسَاتِ وَ يَصْلُحُ لِعَمَلِ الْخَيْرِ.
And in a report: ‘It is correct for the trading, and the selling, and the partnership, and the going out to the sea, and it is correct for the building, and placing the foundations, and it is correct for the good deed’’.[21]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ خُلِقَتْ فِيهِ الْمَحَبَّةُ وَ الشَّهْوَةُ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ السَّفَرِ فِيهِ جَيِّدٌ فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ اسْتَأْجِرْ فِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتَ وَ ادْفَعْ فِيهِ إِلَى مَنْ شِئْتَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ مَجْنُوناً لَا مَحَالَةَ وَ يَكُونُ بَخِيلًا.
And in a report, ‘During it was created the love and the lustful desire, and it is a day the travelling is good in the land and the sea. Employ in it one you so desire to and hand over to the one you desire to in it. One who is born in it would be insane, no doubt, and he would be miserly’’.[22]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي صَبِيحَتِهِ إِلَى الزَّوَالِ كَانَ مَجْنُوناً وَ إِنْ وُلِدَ بَعْدَ الزَّوَالِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ صَلَحَتْ حَالُهُ وَ مَنْ هَرَبَ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فِيهِ سَلِمَ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّتْ لَهُ ضَالَّةٌ وَجَدَهَا وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ بَرِئَ عَاجِلًا.
And in a report, ‘One who is born during it in the morning to the midday would be insane, and if he is born after the midday up to its end, his state would be healthy, and one who flees during it would return, and one who is lost in it would be safe, and one for whom something is lost he would find it, and one who is sick in it would recover quickly’’.[23]
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ خِيفَ عَلَيْهِ الْهَلَاكُ.
Our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who is sick during it, the destruction (death) would be feared upon him’’.[24]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف و في رواية أنه يوم جيد لكل ما يراد من الأعمال و النيات و التصرفات و المولود فيه يكون عاملا و هو يوم لجميع ما يطلب فيه من الأمور الجيدة.
The Persians say it is a light day, and in a report, it is a day good for all what is intended from the works, and the intentions, and the dealings, and the one born during it would be a worker, and it is a day good for entirety of what is sought it, from the matters.
و في رواية أنه يوم نحس من ولد فيه يكون مجنونا لا بد من ذلك و من سافر فيه يهلك و يصلح لعمل الخير و يتقى فيه الحركة و الأحلام تصح فيه بعد يومين.
And in a report, it is an inauspicious day. One who is born during it would be insane, there is no escape from that, and one who travels in it would be destroyed, and it is correct for the good works, and the movement should be feared in it, and the dream in it would be proven correct are two days.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه مهر روز اسم الملك الموكل بالرحمة.

وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ بِكَ أَمْسَيْتُ وَ بِكَ قُمْتُ وَ قَعَدْتُ وَ بِكَ أَحْيَا وَ بِكَ أَمُوتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ بِكَ اهْتَدَيْتُ وَ بِكَ آمَنْتُ وَ أَسْلَمْتُ

اليوم السابع عشر
The seventeenth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ صَافٍ مُخْتَارٌ لِجَمِيعِ الْحَوَائِجِ يَصْلُحُ لِلشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ وَ الدُّخُولِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ غَيْرِ ذَلِكَ صَالِحٌ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ فَاطْلُبْ فِيهِ مَا تُرِيدُ فَإِنَّهُ جَيِّدٌ خُلِقَتْ فِيهِ الْقُوَّةُ وَ خُلِقَ فِيهِ مَلَكُ الْمَوْتِ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي بَارَكَ فِيهِ الْحَقُّ عَلَى يَعْقُوبَ ع جَيِّدٌ صَالِحٌ لِلْعِمَارَةِ وَ فَتْقِ الْأَنْهَارِ وَ غَرْسِ الْأَشْجَارِ وَ السَّفَرُ فِيهِ لَا يَتِمُّ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a clear day, chosen for entirety of the needs, correct for the buying and the selling, and the marriage, and the entry to see the ruler, and other than that, correct for every need, therefore during it seek what you want for it is good. The strength was created during it, and the Angel of death was created in it, and it is which the truth was Blessed upon Yaqoub-azwj, good, correct for the building, and digging the rivers, and planting the trees, and the journey in it will not be completed’’.[29]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى هَذَا الْيَوْمُ مُتَوَسِّطٌ يُحْذَرُ فِيهِ الْمُنَازَعَةُ وَ مَنْ أَقْرَضَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يُرَدَّ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِنْ رُدَّ فَيُجْهَدُ وَ مَنِ اسْتَقْرَضَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يَرُدَّهُ.
And in another report, ‘This is a middle (neither good nor bad) day. Be careful in it the disputes, and one who lends anything in it will not return to him, and if it is returned, he will be fatigued before it does, and if one who borrows something in it, will not return it’’.[30]
وَ قَالَ ابْنُ مَعْمَرٍ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ ثَقِيلٌ لَا يَصْلُحُ لِطَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ فَاحْذَرْ فِيهِ وَ أَحْسِنْ إِلَى وُلْدِكَ وَ عَبْدِكَ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ يَبْرَأُ وَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهِ كَاذِبَةٌ وَ الْآبِقُ فِيهِ يُوجَدُ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ عَاشَ طَوِيلًا وَ صَلَحَتْ حَالُهُ وَ تَرْبِيَتُهُ وَ يَكُونُ عَيْشُهُ طَيِّباً لَا يَرَى فِيهِ فَقْراً.
And Ibn Ma’mar said in another report, ‘It is a heavy day not correct for seeking the needs, so be careful in it, and be good to your children, and one who is sick in it would be cured, and the dream in it would be false, and the absconder in it would be found, and the one who is burned in it would live long and his state would be correct, and his upbringing, and his life would be good. He will not see poverty in it’’.[31]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف و في رواية أخرى أنه يوم ثقيل غير صالح لعمل الخير فلا تلتمس فيه حاجة و في رواية أخرى يوم جيد مختار يحمد فيه التزويج و الختانة و الشركة و التجارة و لقاء الإخوان و المضاربة للأموال.
And the Persians say it is a light day, and in another report, it is a heavy day not correct for doing the good, so do not seek any need in it, and in another report, it is a good day, chosen, praised in it is the marriage, and the circumcision, and the partnership, and the trading, and meeting the brothers, and earning the wealth.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ فَاقْبَلْ تَوْبَتِي وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَ أَسْتَرْحِمُكَ فَارْحَمْنِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! I repent to You-azwj so Accept my repentance, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness, so Forgive (sins) for me, and I seek Your-azwj Mercy so Mercy me, for no one forgives the sins except You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[40]

Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a light day correct for all things, and the travelling. The one who travels in it would fulfil his need and fulfil his affairs, and all what he intends he will connect to it! It is correct for the marriage and the livelihood, and the needs, and learning the knowledge, and buying the slaves and the livestock, fortunate, Blessed. Is’haq-as son of Ibrahim-as was born in it, and one who is lost in it or flees would be enabled upon after fifteen nights, and one who is born in it would be of good state, harmonised to every good!’’[41]

Do not do in it any work from work of the world, and stay in your house, and frequent during it the Zikr of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and Zikr of the Prophet-saww, and one who is sick during it would be saved, and do not travel in it nor hand over anything to anyone, nor enter to see a ruler, and one who is Graced a child in it, he would be of evil manners!’’[42]

اليوم العشرون
The twentieth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ جَيِّدٌ مُبَارَكٌ يَصْلُحُ لِطَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ السَّفَرِ فَمَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ كَانَتْ حَاجَتُهُ مَقْضِيَّةً وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ وَ الدُّخُولِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ غَيْرِهِ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a good day, Blessed, correct for seeking the needs, and the travelling. The one who travels in it his need would be fulfilled, and the construction, and the marriage, and the entry to see the ruler and other such’’.[50]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ فِيهِ إِسْحَاقُ ع مَحْمُودُ الْعَاقِبَةِ جَيِّدٌ لِطَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ طَالِبْ فِيهِ بِحَقِّكَ وَ ازْرَعْ مَا شِئْتَ وَ لَا تَشْتَرِ فِيهِ أَبَداً.

And in another report: ‘Shun in it buying the slaves’’.[52]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُتَوَسِّطُ الْحَالِ صَالِحٌ لِلسَّفَرِ وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ وَضْعِ الْأَسَاسِ وَ حَصَادِ الزَّرْعِ وَ غَرْسِ الشَّجَرِ وَ الْكَرْمِ وَ اتِّخَاذِ الْمَاشِيَةِ مَنْ هَرَبَ فِيهِ كَانَ بَعِيدَ الدَّرْكِ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّ فِيهِ خَفِيَ أَمْرُهُ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ صَعُبَ مَرَضُهُ.
And in another report: ‘It is a say of middle state (neither good nor bad), correct for the travelling, and the building, and placing the foundation, and harvesting the cultivation, and planting the tree and the vine, and taking the livestock. One who flees in it would far from being caught, and one who is lost in it his matter would be hidden, and one who is sick in it his sickness would be difficult’’.[53]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ مَنْ مَرِضَ مَاتَ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ فِي صُعُوبَةٍ مِنَ الْعَيْشِ وَ يَكُونُ ضَعِيفاً.
And in a report: ‘One who is sick would die, and one born in it would be in difficulties of life, and he would be weak’’.[54]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ كَانَ حَلِيماً فَاضِلًا.
And in another report: ‘One born in it would be forbearing, meritorious’’.[55]
وَ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ رَجَعَ سَالِماً غَانِماً وَ قَضَى اللَّهُ حَوَائِجَهُ وَ حَصَّنَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمَكَارِهِ.
And our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who travels during it would return safely, and Allah-azwj will Fulfil his needs and Fortify him from entire abhorrence(s)’’.[56]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف مبارك و في رواية أخرى أنه يوم محمود يحمد فيه الطلب للمعاش و التوجه بالانتقال و الأشغال و الأعمال الرضية و الابتداءات للأمور.
And the Persians say it is a light day, Blessed, and in another report, it is a praised day. It is recommended in it to seek for the livelihood, and the diverting for the transfer, and the occupations, and the satisfactory works, and beginning the matters.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ يَا مَنْ لَا يُغَلِّطُهُ الْمَسَائِلُ يَا مَنْ لَا يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ عَلَيْهِ أَذِقْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَ حَلَاوَةَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ النَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

يَا ذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ الدَّائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يُحْصِيهِ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَحْفَظُهُ أَحَدٌ غَيْرُكَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً-
O with the constant Acts of Kindness which no one can count besides! O One preserves it apart from You-azwj! Make for me from my affairs, relief and outlet!
اعْتَصَمْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ وَ اسْتَجَرْتُ بِاللَّهِ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ اسْتَعَنْتُ بِاللَّهِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
I adhere with Allah-azwj Alone, and seek Shelter with Allah-azwj, and have relied upon Allah-azwj, and seek Help with Allah-azwj! Whatever Allah-azwj Desires. There is neither might nor help except with Allah-azwj!

Turn away from me the Decree, and the Affliction, and gloating by the enemies, and do not Deprive me the Gardens of Al-Ma’wa!
اسْتَجَرْتُ بِذِي الْقُوَّةِ وَ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ وَ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ رَمَيْتُ مَنْ يُؤْذِينِي بِلَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ

O Healer of the chests and all what flows in the oceans, and no one can rescue me from the Fire apart from You-azwj because You-azwj are my Owner! O Interceder from Punishment of the Blazing Fire, and from calling for the ruination, and from Fitna of the graves!
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ قَصُرَ عَنْهُ رَأْيِي وَ ضَعُفَ عَمَلِي عَنْهُ وَ لَمْ تَسَعْهُ نِيَّتِي وَ لَا قُوَّتِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ وَعَدْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ عِبَادِكَ أَوْ خَيْرٍ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيهِ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَإِنِّي أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَهُ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Whatever good my judgment falls short of, my actions are too weak for, and my intention and strength are not enough to attain, from any good You-azwj have Promised to any of Your-azwj servants, or any good You-azwj are Giving to anyone from Your-azwj creation, I turn to You-azwj in desire for it, and I ask You-azwj for it, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!

اليوم الحادي و العشرون
The twenty-first day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ يَصْلُحُ فِيهِ إِرَاقَةُ الدِّمَاءِ فَاتَّقُوا فِيهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ فَلَا تَطْلُبُوا فِيهِ حَاجَةً وَ لَا تَنَازَعُوا فِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ رَدِيءٌ مَنْحُوسٌ مَذْمُومٌ وَ لَا تَلْقَ فِيهِ سُلْطَاناً تَتَّقِيهِ فَهُوَ يَوْمٌ رَدِيءٌ لِسَائِرِ الْأُمُورِ وَ لَا تَخْرُجْ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ وَ تَوَقَّ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ وَ تَجَنَّبْ فِيهِ الْيَمِينَ الصَّادِقَةَ وَ تَجَنَّبْ فِيهِ الْهَوَامَّ فَإِنَّ مَنْ يُلْسَعْ فِيهِ مَاتَ
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a day of continuous inauspiciousness! It is correct in it to spill the blood (for sacrificial offering), therefore fear in it as much as you can and do not seek a need in it nor dispute (with anyone) in it for it is bad, inauspicious, condemned, and do not meet a ruler in it, fear him, for it is a bad day for rest of the matters, and do not go out from your house, and take precautions as much as you can, and shun the truthful oath in it and keep aside from the vermin in it for the one will be stung in it would die!
وَ لَا تُوَاصِلْ فِيهِ أَحَداً فَهُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ أُرِيقَ فِيهِ الدَّمُ وَ حَاضَتْ فِيهِ حَوَّاءُ وَ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ لَمْ يَرْجِعْ وَ خِيفَ عَلَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَرْبَحْ وَ الْمَرِيضُ تَشْتَدُّ عِلَّتُهُ وَ لَمْ يَبْرَأْ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ مُحْتَاجاً فَقِيراً.
And not connect with anyone in it for it is the first day the blood was spilt in, and Hawwa-as had menstruated in it, and the one who travels in it will not return and will be feared upon and will not profit, and the sick in it his illness will intensify and he will not be cured, and one born in it would be needy, poor!’’[61]
و في رواية أخرى من ولد فيه يكون صالحا. قالت الفرس إنه يوم جيد و في رواية أخرى يصلح فيه إهراق الدم لا يطلب فيه حاجة و يتقى فيه من الأذى.
And in another report, one born in it would be righteous. The Persians said it is a good day, and in another report, it is correct to spill the blood (for sacrificial offering) in it! Do not seek a need in it and save yourself in it from the harm.
و في رواية أخرى يكره فيه سائر الأعمال و الفصد و الحجامة و لقاء الأجناد و القواد و الساسة. قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه رامروز.
And in another report, it is disliked in it for rest of the works, and removing the blood, and the cupping, and meeting the armies, and the leaders and the politicians. Salman Al Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy said, ‘Ramrouz’ (Persian)’.
الْعُوذَةُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ- وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ رَبِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ رَبِّ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رَبِّ الْخَلَائِقِ أَجْمَعِينَ
The amulet (supplication) in its beginning, ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing Who, there isn’t anything like Him-azwj and He-azwj is Able upon all things, and Knower of all things! Lord-azwj of the Angels of Proximity, Lord-azwj of the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as, and Lord-azwj the creatures altogether!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ آلَائِكَ الْكُبْرَى وَ قُدْرَتِكَ الْعُظْمَى وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ الْعُلْيَا الَّتِي بِهَا تُحْيِي وَ تُمِيتُ وَ تَعْلَمُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا وَ مَا تَحْتَ الثَّرَى مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ نَحْسِهِ وَ مَا يَلِيهِ وَ جَمِيعِ آفَاتِهِ وَ طَوَارِقِهِ وَ أَحْدَاثِهِ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most excellent Names, and Your-azwj Great Signs, and Your-azwj Magnificent Power, and Your-azwj Exalted Words by which You-azwj Cause to live and Cause to die, and You-azwj Know what is in the skies and the earth and what is between the two and what is between the soil, from evil of this day and its inauspiciousness, and what follows it, and entirety of its afflictions, and its disasters, and its occurrences!
وَ دَفَعْتَ ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِعِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ وَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ صَرَفْتَ ذَلِكَ بِالْعَزَائِمِ الْمُحْكَمَاتِ وَ الْآيَاتِ الْعَالِيَاتِ وَ بِالْأَسْمَاءِ الْمُبَارَكَاتِ بِالْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ الْقَائِمِ عَلى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِما كَسَبَتْ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
And I repel that, all of it, by the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and His-azwj Strength, and by His-azwj Power, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! I turn that away by the decisive determination, and the exalted Signs, and by the Blessed Names, with the Living, the Eternal, the Custodian upon every soul with what is has earned, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’’[62]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ

اليوم الثاني و العشرون
The twenty-second day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُخْتَارٌ حَسَنٌ مَا فِيهِ مَكْرُوهٌ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ لِلشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الصَّيْدِ فِيهِ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ رَبِحَ وَ يَرْجِعُ مُعَافًى إِلَى أَهْلِهِ سَالِماً
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a Chosen day. Whatever is abhorrent in it is good. It is correct for every need and for the buying and the selling, and the hunting in it and the travelling, and one who travels during it will profit and return healthy to his family, safe.
وَ طَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ سَائِرِ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ الصَّدَقَةُ فِيهِ مَقْبُولَةٌ وَ مَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَى سُلْطَانٍ قُضِيَتْ حَاجَتُهُ وَ يَبْلُغُ بِقَضَاءِ الْحَوَائِجِ
And seek the needs, and the important matters, and rest of the worlds, and the charity in it is Accepted, and one who enters to see a rule his need would be fulfilled, and he would reach the extent of fulfilment of the needs’.
وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ مَنْ قَصَدَ السُّلْطَانَ وَجَدَ مَخَافَةً.
And in another copy, ‘And one who aims for the ruler will find fear’’.[66]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى خَفِيفٌ صَالِحٌ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُلْتَمَسُ فِيهِ وَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهِ مَخْصُوصَةٌ وَ التِّجَارَةُ فِيهِ مُبَارَكَةٌ وَ الْآبِقُ فِيهِ يُوجَدُ وَ إِنْ خَاصَمْتَ فِيهِ كَانَتِ الْغَلَبَةُ لَكَ وَ التَّزْوِيجُ فِيهِ جَيِّدٌ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ عَيْشُهُ طَيِّباً وَ يَكُونُ مُبَارَكاً وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ يَبْرَأُ سَرِيعاً.
And in another report, ‘Light, correct for all things sought in it, and the dream in it is particular (cut short), and the trading in it is Blessed, and the absconder in it would be found, and if you dispute in it, the prevalence would be for you, and the marriage in it is good, and the one born in it his life would be good and he would be Blessed, and one sick in it would recover quickly’’.[67]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم ثقيل و في رواية أخرى أنه يحمد فيه كل حاجة و الأعمال المرضية و هو يوم خفيف يصلح لكل حاجة يراد قضاؤها. و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه باد روز.
And the Persians said it is a heavy day, and in another report, it is recommended for every need, and the works would be so the satisfaction, and it is a light day correct for every need intended to be fulfilled. And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, said, ‘Baad Rouz’ (Persian).

And one who does that, indulges in sin [25:68] The Punishment would be doubled for him on the Day of Judgment, and he would be therein eternally in disgrace [25:69].

He is the One Who Shows you the lightning Causing fear and hope and Raises the heavy cloud [13:12]!
وَ يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَ يُرْسِلُ الصَّواعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِها مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ هُمْ يُجادِلُونَ فِي اللَّهِ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ الْمِحالِ-
And the thunder Glorifies with His Praise, and (so do) the Angels from His Awe, and He Sends the thunderbolts, so He Hits with these the ones He so Desires to, and they are disputing regarding Allah and He is Mighty in Strength [13:13]!
لَهُ دَعْوَةُ الْحَقِّ وَ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ مِنْ دُونِهِ- لا يَسْتَجِيبُونَ لَهُمْ بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا كَباسِطِ كَفَّيْهِ إِلَى الْماءِ لِيَبْلُغَ فاهُ وَ ما هُوَ بِبالِغِهِ وَ ما دُعاءُ الْكافِرِينَ إِلَّا فِي ضَلالٍ-
To Him is the true supplication; and those who are being supplicated to from the ones besides Him are not answering to them with anything, but it’s like the one who extends his hands to the water to make it reach his mouth, and it does not reach it, and what is a supplication of the Kafirs except for straying? [13:14]!
وَ لِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ مَنْ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ طَوْعاً وَ كَرْهاً وَ ظِلالُهُمْ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj because You-azwj are Kind, Merciful! Or are they not looking at anything from Allah Created, its shadow inclines from the right and the left, performing Sajdah to Allah while they are humbled? [16:48]!
وَ لِلَّهِ يَسْجُدُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ دابَّةٍ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ هُمْ لا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ- يَخافُونَ رَبَّهُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَ يَفْعَلُونَ ما يُؤْمَرُونَ
And to Allah does Sajdah whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth, from animals and Angels, and they are not being arrogant [16:49] They fear their Lord from above them and are doing what they are commanded to [16:50]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِالْغَيْبِ وَ يُقِيمُونَ الصَّلاةَ وَ يُؤْتُونَ الزَّكاةَ وَ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْزَلْتَهُ قُرْآناً بِالْحَقِّ- قُلْ آمِنُوا بِهِ أَوْ لا تُؤْمِنُوا إِنَّ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْعِلْمَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِ إِذا يُتْلى عَلَيْهِمْ يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقانِ سُجَّداً-
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those who are believing in the unseen and are establishing the Salat [2:3], and are giving the Zakat, and they are believing in what has been Revealed, for You-azwj have Revealed it as Quran with the Truth, Say: ‘Believe in it or don’t believe; surely those Given the Knowledge from before it, when it is recited to them, they fall down fall down to their chins in Sajdah’ [17:107]!
وَ يَقُولُونَ سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا- وَ يَخِرُّونَ لِلْأَذْقانِ يَبْكُونَ وَ يَزِيدُهُمْ خُشُوعاً
And they are saying: Glorious is our Lord! Surely His Promise would always be Fulfilled [17:108] And they fall down on their faces weeping, and it increases them in humbleness [17:109]!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ آدَمَ وَ مِمَّنْ حَمَلْتَ مَعَ نُوحٍ وَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْرَائِيلَ
O Allah-azwj, and Make me from those You-azwj have Favoured upon them, from the Prophets‑as from the offspring of Adam-as, and from the ones who were carried with Noah-as, and from offspring of Ibrahim-as and Israel-as!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ- مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً
O Allah-azwj, and Make me from those You-azwj have Favoured upon them, from the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ هَدَيْتَ وَ اجْتَبَيْتَ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ إِذا تُتْلى عَلَيْهِمْ آياتُ الرَّحْمنِ خَرُّوا سُجَّداً وَ بُكِيًّا
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the one You-azwj have Guided and Selected, and from those, When the Verses of the Beneficent are recited unto them, they fall down in Sajdah, crying [19:58]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ آنَاءَ اللَّيْلِ وَ أَطْرَافَ النَّهَارِ لا يَفْتُرُونَ مِنْ ذِكْرِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those who are glorifying to You-azwj by the night and the day and hours of the night and ends of the day. They are not taking a break from Your-azwj Zikr!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ لَا يَمَلُّونَ ذِكْرَكَ وَ لَا يَسْأَمُونَ مِنْ عِبَادَتِكَ يُسَبِّحُونَ لَكَ وَ لَكَ يَسْجُدُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those who are not getting tired of Your-azwj Zikr nor are they weary of worshipping You-azwj. They are glorifying to You-azwj, and to You-azwj they are prostrating!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَكَ قِياماً وَ قُعُوداً وَ عَلى جُنُوبِهِمْ وَ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ فِي خَلْقِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ رَبَّنا ما خَلَقْتَ هذا باطِلًا سُبْحانَكَ فَقِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ-
O Allah-azwj, and Make me from those who are doing Your-azwj Zikr, standing and sitting and (lying) on their sides and are thinking regarding the Creation of the skies and the earth: ‘Our Lord! You have not Created this in vain! Glory be to You; Save us then from Punishment of the Fire [3:191]!
رَبَّنا إِنَّكَ مَنْ تُدْخِلِ النَّارَ فَقَدْ أَخْزَيْتَهُ وَ ما لِلظَّالِمِينَ مِنْ أَنْصارٍ-
Our Lord! The one whom you enter into the Fire so You have Disgraced him, and for the unjust there will not be anyone from the helpers [3:192]!
رَبَّنا إِنَّنا سَمِعْنا مُنادِياً يُنادِي لِلْإِيمانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ-
Our Lord! We heard a caller calling to the Eman: ‘Believe in your Lord!’ So we believed. Our Lord! Forgive our sins for us and Cover our evil deeds from us and Cause us to die with the righteous ones [3:193]!
رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ
Our Lord! And Grant us what You Promised us by Your Rasools and do not Disgrace on the Day of Resurrection; surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَاكِراً فَإِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ-
O Allah-azwj, and Make me thanking to You-azwj for You-azwj can Do whatever You-azwj Desire!
أَ لَمْ تَرَ 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 وَ مَنْ يُهِنِ اللَّهُ فَما لَهُ مِنْ مُكْرِمٍ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ ما يَشاءُ-
Do you not see that 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? And one whom Allah Disgraces, so there is none who can honour him. Surely Allah Does whatever He so Desires [22:18]!
وَ إِذا قِيلَ لَهُمُ اسْجُدُوا لِلرَّحْمنِ قالُوا وَ مَا الرَّحْمنُ أَ نَسْجُدُ لِما تَأْمُرُنا وَ زادَهُمْ نُفُوراً
And when it is said to them: ‘Do Sajdah to the Beneficent!’ They say, ‘And what is the Beneficent? Shall we do Sajdah to what you are ordering us?’ And it increases them in aversion [25:60]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا وَلِيَّ الصَّالِحِينَ أَنْ تَخْتِمَ لِي عَمَلِي بِصَالِحِ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي يَا رَبَّ الْعِزَّةِ- الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما فِي سِتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ الرَّحْمنُ فَسْئَلْ بِهِ خَبِيراً
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Guardian of the righteous ones, to End my deeds for me with the righteous deeds, and to Answer my supplication for me! O Lord-azwj of the Mighty, Who Created the skies and the earth and whatever is between the two in six days, then He Established upon the Throne. There is neither for you a Guardian nor an intercessor from besides Him, so will you not take heed? [32:4]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا وَلِيَّ الصَّالِحِينَ أَنْ تَخْتِمَ لِي بِصَالِحِ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ تُعْطِيَنِي سُؤْلِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Guardian of the righteous, to End for me with the righteous deeds, and to Answer my supplication for me and Grant me my request, regarding myself and the ones whose matter concerns me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[70]
الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ مِنْ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَ سُوءِ الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِي النَّفْسِ وَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
The supplication in its end – ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of this night and every night, and this day and every day! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Refuge me from gloating by the enemies, and from coming across the misery, and from disgrace of the world, and the evil transfer regarding the soul, and the family and the wealth, and the children, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِظُلْمِي وَ لَا تُعَاقِبْنِي بِجَهْلِي وَ لَا تَسْتَدْرِجْنِي بِخَطِيئَتِي وَ لَا تُكِبَّنِي عَلَى وَجْهِي وَ لَا تَطْبَعْ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي عَلَى عَقِبِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not Seize me for my injustices, nor Punish men for my ignorance, nor Gradually Encroach me for my wrongdoing, nor Fling me upon my face, nor Seal upon my heart, nor Return me upon my heels, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[71]
اليوم الثالث و العشرون
The twenty-third day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ سَعِيدٌ مُخْتَارٌ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يُوسُفُ النَّبِيُّ الصِّدِّيقُ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ لِكُلِّ مَا يُرِيدُونَهُ وَ خَاصَّةً لِلتَّزْوِيجِ وَ التِّجَارَاتِ كُلِّهَا وَ لِلدُّخُولِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ غَنِمَ وَ أَصَابَ خَيْراً
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a fortunate day, chosen! The Prophet Yusuf-as the truthful was born in it! It is correct for every need and for all what one intends and especially for the marriage, and the trading, all of it, and for the entry to see the ruler, and the journey, and the one who travels in it would gain, and for achieving good.
جَيِّدٌ لِلِقَاءِ الْمُلُوكِ وَ الْأَشْرَافِ وَ الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ سَائِرِ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ خَفِيفٌ مِثْلُ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ يَصْلُحُ لِلْبَيْعِ وَ الشِّرَاءِ وَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهِ كَاذِبَةٌ وَ الْآبِقُ فِيهِ يُوجَدُ وَ الضَّالَّةُ تَرْجِعُ وَ الْمَرِيضُ يَبْرَأُ
(It is) good for meeting the kings, and the nobles, and the important people, and rest of the deeds, and it is a light day similar to which was before it. It is correct for the selling and the buying, and the dream in it would be false, and the absconding in it would be found, and lost property would return, and the sick would be cured!
مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ صَالِحاً طَيِّبَ النَّفْسِ حَسَناً مَحْبُوباً حَسَنَ التَّرْبِيَةِ فِي كُلِّ حَالٍ رَخِيَّ الْبَالِ.
One who is born during it would be righteous, good of the soul, good-looking, beloved, of good upbringing in all situations, easy-going!’’[72]
وَ فِي نُسْخَةٍ أُخْرَى إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مَشُومٌ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ لَا يَمُوتُ إِلَّا مَقْتُولًا وُلِدَ فِيهِ فِرْعَوْنُ.
And in another copy, ‘It is an inauspicious day, ominous. One born in it would not die except as killed. Pharaoh-la was born in it’’.[73]
وَ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وُلِدَ فِيهِ ابْنُ يَامِينَ أَخُو يُوسُفَ ع وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ فَيَكُونُ مَرْزُوقاً مُبَارَكاً.
And our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Benjamin-as the brother of Yusuf-as was born in it, and one born in it would be Graced, Blessed!’’[74]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف يحمد فيه التزويج و النقلة و السفر و الأخذ و العطاء و لقاء السلاطين صالح لسائر الأعمال و لقضاء الحوائج.
And the Persians said it is a light day, the marriage is recommended in it, and the transfer, and the journey, and the taking, and the giving, and meeting the rulers, correct for rest of the deeds and for fulfil the needs.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمه الله ديبدين روز اسم الملك الموكل بالنوم و اليقظة و حراسة الأرواح حتى ترجع إلى الأبدان و في رواية أنه اسم من أسماء الله تعالى.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, said, ‘Deybadin Rouz’, name of the Angel allocated with the sleep and the wakefulness, and guardian the souls until they return to the bodies’, and in a report, it is a Name from the Names of Allah-azwj the Exalted.
الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَسْأَلَةٍ وَ خَيْرَ دُعَاءٍ وَ خَيْرَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ خَيْرَ الْقَبْرِ وَ خَيْرَ الْقَدَرِ وَ خَيْرَ الثَّوَابِ وَ خَيْرَ الْعَمَلِ وَ خَيْرَ الْمَحْيَا وَ خَيْرَ الْمَمَاتِ وَ خَيْرَ الْمَقْدَمِ وَ خَيْرَ الْمَسْكَنِ وَ خَيْرَ الْمَأْوَى وَ خَيْرَ الصَّبْرِ
The supplication during it – ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of this new day and every day, and this month and every month!

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for good of what is Accepted, and good of what is worked, and good of what is absent, and good of what is present, and good of what is apparent, and good of what is hidden; and I ask You-azwj for the exalted ranks from the Paradise! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws and Confer upon me with that!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مَفَاتِحَ الْخَيْرِ وَ خَوَاتِمَهُ وَ جَوَامِعَهُ وَ أَوَّلَهُ وَ آخِرَهُ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ الْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad-saww the Prophet, and his-saww Progeny-asws, the Pure altogether, and the (final) outcome is for the pious!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ وَجِلٍ مِنِ انْتِقَامِكَ فَزِعٍ مِنْ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ عَذَابِكَ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِفَاقَتِهِ مُجِيراً غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا أَمْناً غَيْرَ فِنَائِكَ وَ طُولُ مَعْصِيَتِي لَكَ أَقْدَمَنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ تَوَهَّنَنِي الذُّنُوبُ وَ حَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ لِأَنَّكَ عِمَادُ الْمُعْتَمِدِينَ وَ رَصَدُ الرَّاصِدِينَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ الْمَوَاهِبُ وَ لَا يَفُوتُكَ الطَّالِبُ

تَكَفَّلْتَ بِالْأَرْزَاقِ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْأَجْوَدِينَ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ عَنْ تَنَاوُلِ الصِّفَاتِ وَ تَعَزَّزْتَ عَنِ الْإِحَاطَةِ بِتَصَارِيفِ اللُّغَاتِ وَ لَمْ تَكُنْ مُسْتَحْدِثاً فَتُوجَدَ مُتَنَقِّلًا مِنْ حَالَةٍ إِلَى حَالَةٍ بَلْ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ ذُو الْقُوَّةِ الْقَاهِرَةِ جَزِيلُ الْعَطَاءِ جَلِيلُ الثَّنَاءِ سَابِغُ النَّعْمَاءِ عَظِيمُ الْآلَاءِ فَاطِرُ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ ذُو الْبَهَاءِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ

And Honour my abode, O Allah-azwj, for You-azwj Best one can have recourse to for removal of the harm! O One Who is hoped in every difficulty, and the Hope for every ease! I have descended my need and my destitution to You-azwj, and I am beseeching to You-azwj! Do not Return me disappointed regarding what I am hoping for, nor Bar my supplication when You‑azwj have Opened it for me, for I have taken Refuge with You-azwj!
يَا إِلَهِي صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ أَيَّامِي يَوْمَ لِقَائِكَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطَايَايَ فَقَدْ أَوْحَشَتْنِي وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ ذُنُوبِي فَقَدْ أَوْبَقَتْنِي فَإِنَّكَ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ وَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ سَهْلٌ يَسِيرٌ
O my God-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, Make best of my days the Day I meet You-azwj, and Forgive my wrongdoings for these have terrified me, and Overlook my sins for these have destroyed me, for You-azwj are Near, Responding, and O Lord-azwj, that is easy upon You-azwj, insignificant!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَى الْآباءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ حُقُوقاً عَظَّمْتَهَا وَ أَنْتَ أَوْلَى مَنْ حَطَّ الْأَوْزَارَ عَنِّي وَ خَفَّفَهَا وَ أَدَّى الْحُقُوقَ عَنْ عَبِيدِهِ وَ احْتَمَلَهَا

وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ إِنِّي وَجَدْتُ امْرَأَةً تَمْلِكُهُمْ وَ أُوتِيَتْ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَها عَرْشٌ عَظِيمٌ-
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘I found a woman ruling them, and she has been given from everything, and for her is a magnificent throne [27:23].
وَجَدْتُها وَ قَوْمَها يَسْجُدُونَ لِلشَّمْسِ مِنْ دُونِ اللَّهِ وَ زَيَّنَ لَهُمُ الشَّيْطانُ أَعْمالَهُمْ فَصَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ فَهُمْ لا يَهْتَدُونَ-
I found her and her people doing Sajdah to the sun instead of Allah, and the Satan has adorned their deeds for them. Thus, he blocked them from the Way, so they are not going aright [27:24].
أَلَّا يَسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُخْرِجُ الْخَبْءَ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ يَعْلَمُ ما تُخْفُونَ وَ ما تُعْلِنُونَ-
They are not doing Sajdah to Allah Who Extracts the cache in the skies and the earth, and He Knows what you are concealing and what you are proclaiming [27:25].
اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ-
Allah, there is no god except Him. He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [27:26].
فَذُوقُوا بِما نَسِيتُمْ لِقاءَ يَوْمِكُمْ هذا إِنَّا نَسِيناكُمْ وَ ذُوقُوا عَذابَ الْخُلْدِ بِما كُنْتُمْ تَعْمَلُونَ-
Therefore taste! Due to your having forgotten this Day of yours, We will Forsake you (today). And taste the eternal Punishment due to what you had been doing!” [32:14].
إِنَّما يُؤْمِنُ بِآياتِنَا الَّذِينَ إِذا ذُكِّرُوا بِها خَرُّوا سُجَّداً وَ سَبَّحُوا بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ هُمْ لا يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ-
But rather, only those believe in Our Signs who, when they are reminded of these, fall down in Sajdah and Glorify the Praise of their Lord, and they are not being arrogant [32:15].
تَتَجافى جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً وَ مِمَّا رَزَقْناهُمْ يُنْفِقُونَ
Their sides forsake their beds, supplicating to their Lord in fear and in hope, and they are spending from what We Graced them [32:16].
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ لَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ ما أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزاءً بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the ones So no soul knows what is hidden for them from delight of the eyes, being a Recompense of what they had been doing [32:17].
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ جَعَلْتَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتِ الْمَأْوَى- نُزُلًا بِما كانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ-
O Allah-azwj! Make me from those for whom You-azwj have Made the Gardens of Al-Ma’wa, being a hospitality due to what they had been doing [32:19].
قالَ لَقَدْ ظَلَمَكَ بِسُؤالِ نَعْجَتِكَ إِلى نِعاجِهِ وَ إِنَّ كَثِيراً مِنَ الْخُلَطاءِ لَيَبْغِي بَعْضُهُمْ عَلى بَعْضٍ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَ عَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ وَ قَلِيلٌ ما هُمْ وَ ظَنَّ داوُدُ أَنَّما فَتَنَّاهُ فَاسْتَغْفَرَ رَبَّهُ وَ خَرَّ راكِعاً وَ أَنابَ-
‘He has wronged you by asking for your ewe to (be added) to his ewes, and surely most of the partners tend to transgress upon each other except those who believe and do righteous deeds, and they are few’. And Dawood rather thought We had Tried him, so he sought Forgiveness of his Lord and fell down in Ruku and was penitent [38:24].
وَ مِنْ آياتِهِ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهارُ وَ الشَّمْسُ وَ الْقَمَرُ- لا تَسْجُدُوا لِلشَّمْسِ وَ لا لِلْقَمَرِ وَ اسْجُدُوا لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَهُنَّ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ إِيَّاهُ تَعْبُدُونَ
And from His Signs are the night and the day, and the sun and the moon. Neither do Sajdah to the sun nor to the moon, and do Sajdah to Allah Who Created you, if it is Him you are worshipping [41:37]!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ أَنَا الْمُذْنِبُ الْخَاطِئُ الذَّلِيلُ

O Allah-azwj! Turn away from me, Turn away from us the Punishment of Hell! Surely, its Punishment would be inseparable [25:65]!
إِنَّها ساءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَ مُقاماً
Surely, it is an evil abode and (an evil) place to stay [25:66]!
رَبَّنَا سَمِعْنا وَ أَطَعْنا غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ-
‘Yours is the Forgiveness, our Lord, and to You is the Destination’ [2:285]!
رَبِّ زِدْنِي عِلْماً
‘Lord! Increase me in knowledge!’ [20:114]
وَ لا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ يُبْعَثُونَ-
And do not Disgrace on the Day they would be Resurrected [26:87]!
رَبِّ أَدْخِلْنِي مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِي مُخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصِيراً-
Lord! Cause me to enter a correct entrance, and Cause me to go exit a correct exit, and Make for me from Yourself a (Divine) Authority, a persistent helper [17:80]!

‘Our Lord! Forgive us and our brethren who preceded us with the Eman, and do not Make a grudge to be in our hearts towards those who are believing! Our Lord, You are Kind, Merciful [59:10]!
رَبَّنَا وَ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا وَ اهْدِنَا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ اجْعَلْ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِنَا آخِرَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِنَا خَوَاتِيمَهَا وَ خَيْرَ أَيَّامِنَا يَوْمَ نَلْقَاكَ وَ اخْتِمْ لَنَا بِالسَّعَادَةِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ

اليوم الرابع و العشرون
The twenty-fourth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ نَحْسٍ مُسْتَمِرٍّ مَذْمُومٌ مَشُومٌ مَلْعُونٌ وُلِدَ فِيهِ فِرْعَوْنُ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ عَسِيرٌ نَكِدٌ فَاتَّقُوا فِيهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ- لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُبْتَدَأَ فِيهِ بِحَاجَةٍ يُكْرَهُ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَحْوَالِ وَ الْأَعْمَالِ نَحْسٌ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ يُطْلَبُ فِيهِ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ مَاتَ فِي سَفَرِهِ.
Our Master Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘It is a day of continuous inauspiciousness, condemned, ominous, accursed. Pharaoh-la was born in it, may Allah-azwj Curse him-la, and it is a difficult day, miserable, therefore fear during it as much as you can. It is not befitting to begin in it with an abhorrent work in all the situations and the worlds, inauspicious for every matter sought in it. One who travels in it will die in his journey’’.[79]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ طَالَ مَرَضُهُ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ سَقِيماً حَتَّى يَمُوتَ نَكِداً فِي عَيْشِهِ وَ لَا يُوَفَّقُ لِخَيْرٍ وَ إِنْ حَرَصَ عَلَيْهِ جُهْدَهُ وَ يُقْتَلُ فِي آخِرِ عُمُرِهِ أَوْ يَغْرَقُ.
And in another report, ‘And one who falls sick in it, his illness would be prolonged, and one who is born in it would be sick until he dies, difficulty in his life and he will not be harmonised to good, and if he is urged upon it, he would reject it, and he would be killed in the end of his age or drown’’.[80]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّهُ جَيِّدٌ لِلسَّفَرِ وَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهِ كَاذِبَةٌ.
And in another report, it is good for the travelling, and the dream in it is false’’.[81]
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ عَلَا أَمْرُهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ حَزِيناً حَقِيراً وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ طَالَ مَرَضُهُ.
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, said: ‘One who is born during this day, his matters would be exalted except he would be grief-stricken, insignificant, and one who falls sick in it, his illness would be prolonged’’.[82]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف جيد و في رواية أخرى أنه رديء مذموم لا يطلب فيه حاجة ولد فيه فرعون ذو الأوتاد.
And the Persians said it is a light day, good, and in another report, it is bad, condemned. Do not seek in it any need. Pharaoh-la was born in it who (had) strong armies.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمه الله دين روز اسم الملك الموكل بالسعي و الحركة و في رواية أخرى اسم الملك الموكل بالنوم و اليقظة و حراسة الأرواح حتى ترجع إلى الأبدان.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘Deen Rouz’, name of the Angel allocated with the striving and the movement, and in another report, name of the Angel allocated with the sleep and the wakefulness, and guarding the souls until they return to the bodies’.
الْعُوذَةُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- مالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ- إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ- اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ- صِراطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا الضَّالِّينَ
The amulet (supplication) in its beginning – ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, from the Pelted Satan-la! In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2] The Beneficent, the Merciful [1:3] Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4] (It is) You we worship [1:5] And You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5] Guide us to be on the Straight Path [1:6] The path of those You have Bestowed Bounties upon other than of those You are Wrathful upon nor of the straying ones [1:7]!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ- مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ غاسِقٍ إِذا وَقَبَ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حاسِدٍ إِذا حَسَدَ

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ فَغَفَرْتَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَتَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ- وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا
And I ask You-azwj by the Name which Muhammad-saww had supplicated to You-azwj with so You‑azwj Forgave for him-saww whatever had preceded of his offences and what was delayed, and You-azwj Favoured upon him-saww with Your-azwj bounties, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and to Do with me what You-azwj are Rightful of, and to Do such and such with me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُسْتَقَرِّ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ مُنْتَهَاهَا مِنْ كِتَابِكَ

O Allah-azwj, and I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most Magnificent Name, and Your-azwj Exalted Majesty, and Your-azwj most Benevolent Generosity, and Your-azwj complete Word which neither a righteous nor immoral can surpass, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Do such and such with me!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ إِلَهاً وَاحِداً فَرْداً صَمَداً قَائِماً بِالْقِسْطِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَتْرُ الْكَبِيرُ الْمُتَعَالِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ عَفْواً بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْجُودِ وَ الْكَرَمِ وَ الرَّأْفَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ التَّفَضُّلِ
O Allah-azwj, and I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, One God-azwj, Individual, Non-Hollow, Standing with the fairness!

O Allah-azwj! Do not Replace my name and do not Change my body, nor Make my afflictions exhausting, O Benevolent!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ غِنًى يُطْغِينِي وَ فَقْرٍ يُنْسِينِي وَ مِنْ هَوًى يَرُدُّنِي وَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُخْزِينِي أَصْبَحْتُ وَ رَبِّيَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ مَحْمُوداً أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً وَ لَا أَدْعُو مَعَهُ إِلَهاً آخَرَ وَ لَا أَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيّاً
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from riches making me arrogant, and poverty making me forgetful, and from whims returning me, and from work disgracing me! I have come to a morning and (I say) my Lord-azwj is the One, the First, Praised! I have become not associating anything with Him-azwj and I do not call on another god with Him-azwj, nor do I take any guardian from other than Him-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ هَوِّنْ عَلَيَّ مَا أَخَافُ مَشَقَّتَهُ وَ يَسِّرْ لِي مَا أَخَافُ عُسْرَتَهُ وَ سَهِّلْ عَلَيَّ مَا أَخَافُ حُزُونَتَهُ وَ وَسِّعْ عَلَيَّ مَا أَخَافُ ضِيقَتَهُ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي هُمُومَ آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ فِي دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي بِرِضَاكَ عَنِّي

O Allah-azwj! I entrust to You-azwj my religion and my world, and my entrustments, and ending of my works, and endings of my works, and entirety of what Allah-azwj has Favoured with upon me in the world and the Hereafter! You-azwj are the Chief not to waste Your-azwj deposits!

O Allah-azwj, and know that no one can ever shelter me from You-azwj, and I can never find anyone being One apart from You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً فَمَا سِوَاهَا وَ لَا تَنْزِعْ مِنِّي صَالِحاً أَعْطَيْتَنِيهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ لَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, ever, and nothing else, and do not Snatch from me the righteous of what You-azwj have Given me! There is no preventer for what You-azwj Give, nor is there any giver of what You-azwj Prevent, nor can the effort benefit against the Effort from You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَ رَبَّنا آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ.
O Allah-azwj! ‘Our Lord! Grant us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and Save us from the Punishment of the Fire [2:201]!’’[85]

وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي السَّعَةَ وَ الدَّعَةَ وَ الْأَمْنَ وَ الْقَنَاعَةَ وَ الْعِصْمَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي وَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ الشُّكْرَ وَ الصَّبْرَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

اليوم الخامس و العشرون
The twenty-fifth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مَذْمُومٌ نَحْسٌ وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَصَابَ مِصْرُ فِيهِ تِسْعَةَ ضُرُوبٍ مِنَ الْآفَاتِ فَلَا تَطْلُبْ فِيهِ حَاجَةً وَ احْفَظْ فِيهِ نَفْسَكَ فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ أَهْلَ مِصْرَ بِالْآفَاتِ- مَعَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ الْبَلَاءِ وَ الْآبِقُ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ وَ لَا تَحْلِفْ فِيهِ صَادِقاً وَ لَا كَاذِباً وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ سَوْءٍ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ لَا يَرْبَحُ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ أُجْهِدَ وَ لَمْ يُفِقْ مِنْ مَرَضِهِ فَاتَّقِهِ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘It is a condemned day, inauspicious, and it is the day in which Egypt was afflicted with nine types of afflictions, so do not seek a need in it and protect yourself in it for it is the day in which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Struck the people of Egypt with the afflictions (Signs) with Pharaoh-la, and it is the severe calamity, and the absconder in it would return, and do not swear an oath in it, neither true nor false, and it is an evil day. One who travels in it will not return, and one who falls sick in it will be exhausted and not recover from his sickness, so fear it!’’[87]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ لَا يَكَادُ يَبْرَأُ وَ هُوَ إِلَى الْمَوْتِ أَقْرَبُ مِنَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ لَا يَنْجُو وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ كَانَ مَلِكاً مَرْزُوقاً سَخِيّاً مِنَ النَّاسِ تُصِيبُهُ عِلَّةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ وَ لَا يَسْلَمُ مِنْهَا.
And in another report: ‘One who falls sick in it will almost not recover, and he would be closer to the death than the life, and one who falls sick in it will not be saved, and one born in it would be a king, Graced, captain of the people. Severe illness will hit him and he will not be safe from it’’.[88]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ فَقِيهاً عَالِماً.
And in another report: ‘One born in it would be a jurist, a scholar’’.[89]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى أَنَّهُ يَوْمٌ جَيِّدٌ لِلشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ الزَّرْعِ وَ يَصْلُحُ لِقَضَاءِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ كَانَ كَذَّاباً نَمَّاماً لَا خَيْرَ فِيهِ.
And in another report: ‘It is a day good for the buying and the selling, and the building and the cultivating, and correct for fulfilling the needs, and one born in it would be a liar, gossiper, having not goodness in him’’.[90]
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع اسْتَعِيذُوا فِيهِ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘I seek Refuge in it with Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[91]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم ثقيل رديء مكروه أصيب فيه أهل مصر بسبع ضربات من البلاء و هو يوم نحس تفرغ فيه للدعاء و الصلاة و عمل الخير
And the Persians said, ‘It is a heavy day, bad, abhorrent. The people of Egypt were afflicted in it with seven types of calamities, and it is an inauspicious day. Free yourself for the supplication and the Salat, and doing the good deeds’.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه أرد روز اسم الملك الموكل بالجن و الشياطين.
Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him-ra, said, ‘Ard Rouz’, the Angel Allocated with the Jinn and the Satan(s)-la’’.
الْعُوذَةُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ الَّذِي لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ ذَرَأَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ غاسِقٍ إِذا وَقَبَ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثاتِ فِي الْعُقَدِ- وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حاسِدٍ إِذا حَسَدَ-
The amulet (supplication) in its beginning – ‘I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj the Living, the Eternal Who, neither does slumber seize Him-azwj nor sleep, From evil of what He Created [113:2] And from evil of darkness when it spreads [113:3] And from evil of the blowers into the knots [113:4] And from evil of an envier when he envies [113:5]!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ رَبِّ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ مُقَدِّرِهَا وَ خَالِقِ الْأَجْسَامِ وَ مُصَوِّرِهَا وَ مُنْشِئِ الْأَشْيَاءِ وَ مُدَبِّرِهَا
In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1]. I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the things and their determinations, and Creator of the bodies and their Shaper, and Grower of the things and their Manager!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِالْكَلِمَاتِ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْأَسْمَاءِ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْعَزَائِمِ الْكُبْرَى وَ بِرَبِّ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ وَ مُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَ مُمِيتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْ شَرِّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ شُومِهِ وَ شَرِّهِ وَ ضُرِّهِ صَرَفْتُ ذَلِكَ عَنِّي بِقُدْرَةِ اللَّهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
And I seek Refuge with the exalted Words and the most excellent Names, and the great determinations, and Lord-azwj of the earth and the sky, and Reviver of the dead and Causer of death to the living, from evil of this and its evil omen, and its evil, and its harm! I turn that away from me by the Power of Allah-azwj, and there is no might nor strength except with Allah‑azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent!’’[92]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَوَاتُهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ الْعَاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقِينَ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], and His-azwj Salawaat be upon our chief the Prophet Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws altogether, and the (final) outcome is for the pious!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ سُؤَالَ الْخَائِفِ مِنْ وَقْفَةِ الْمَوْقِفِ الْوَجِلِ مِنَ الْعَرْضِ الْمُشْفِقِ مِنَ الْخُسْرَانِ وَ بَوَائِقِ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمَأْخُوذِ عَلَى الْغِرَّةِ النَّادِمِ عَلَى خَطِيئَتِهِ الْمَسْئُولِ الْمُحَاسَبِ الْمُثَابِ الْمُعَاقَبِ الَّذِي لَا يُكِنُّهُ مِنْكَ مَكَانٌ وَ لَا يَجِدُ مَفَرّاً مِنْكَ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj during this new day, request of the fearful from standing at the pausing station (on the Day of Qiyamah), the dreading from the presentation, the fearing from the losses and the ruination of the Qiyamah, the seized upon the deception, the regretting upon his wrongdoing, the Questioned, the Reckoned, the Rewarded, the Punished Who has not place of refuge from You-azwj nor any escape from You-azwj except to You-azwj.
مُتَنَصِّلٍ مِنْكَ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلِهِ مُقِرٍّ بِهِ قَدْ أَحَاطَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ وَ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِ رَحَائِبُ النُّجُومِ مُوقِنٍ بِالْمَوْتِ مُبَادِرٍ بِالتَّوْبَةِ قَبْلَ الْفَوْتِ الَّتِي مَنَنْتَ بِهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ عَفَوْتَ عَنْهُ
He is apologising from You-azwj from his deeds, acknowledging it. The worries have surrounded him, and the expanse of the stars have constricted upon him, convinced of the death, rushing with the repenting before the missed (opportunity) which You-azwj have Conferred with upon it, and Pardoned him!
فَأَنْتَ إِلَهِي وَ رَجَائِي إِذَا ضَاقَ عَنِّي الرَّجَاءُ وَ فِنَائِي إِذَا لَمْ أَجِدْ فِنَاءً أَلْجَأُ إِلَيْهِ فَتَوَحَّدْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي بِالْعِزِّ وَ الْعَلَاءِ وَ تَفَرَّدْتَ بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ وَ الْبَقَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَنْعُوتُ الْفَرْدُ وَ الْمُنْفَرِدُ بِالْحَمْدِ-
You-azwj are my God-azwj and my hope, when the hope and my annihilation has constricted upon me, when I cannot find a courtyard to shelter to. You-azwj are Unique, O my Master, with the Might and the Exaltedness, and You-azwj are Individualised with the Oneness and the Remaining, and You-azwj are described as the Individual, and the Singled out with the Praise!
لَا يَتَوَارَى مِنْكَ مَكَانٌ وَ لَا يَعْزِلُ زَمَانٌ أَلَّفْتَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْفِرَقَ وَ فَجَّرْتَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْمَاءَ مِنَ الصُّمِّ الصِّلَابِ الصَّيَاخِيدِ عَذْباً وَ أُجَاجاً وَ أَنْزَلْتَ مِنَ الْمُعْصِراتِ ماءً ثَجَّاجاً وَ جَعَلْتَ فِي السَّمَاءِ سِرَاجاً وَ الْقَمَرَ وَ النُّجُومَ أَبْرَاجاً مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تُمَارِسَ فِيمَا ابْتَدَعْتَ لُغُوباً
Neither is any place concealed from You-azwj nor can time separate from You-azwj! With Your‑azwj Power, You-azwj Brought together the dispersed, and with Your-azwj Ability. You-azwj caused water to flow from the deaf, solid, hard rocks, both sweet and bitter. You-azwj Sent down from the rain clouds a pouring rain, and Placed in the sky a radiant lamp (the sun), and Made the moon and stars into constellations without experiencing any fatigue in what You-azwj Created!
أَنْتَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ خَالِقُهُ وَ جَبَّارُ كُلِّ مَخْلُوقٍ وَ رَازِقُهُ وَ الْعَزِيزُ مَنْ أَعْزَزْتَ وَ الذَّلِيلُ مَنْ أَذْلَلْتَ وَ الْغَنِيُّ مَنْ أَغْنَيْتَ وَ الْفَقِيرُ مَنْ أَفْقَرْتَ وَ أَنْتَ وَلِيِّي وَ مَوْلَايَ عَلَيْكَ رِفْقِي وَ أَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ
You-azwj are God-azwj of all things and its Creator, and Subduer of every creature, and its Provider, and the honourable is the one whom You-azwj Honoured, and the disgraced is the one You-azwj Disgrace, and the rich is the one You-azwj Enriched and the poor is the one You-azwj Impoverish, and You-azwj are my Guardian and my Master! Upon You-azwj is to be Kind with me and You-azwj are my Master!

قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ صَالِحٌ مُبَارَكٌ لِلسَّيْفِ ضَرَبَ مُوسَى ع فِيهِ الْبَحْرَ فَانْفَلَقَ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ مَا خَلَا التَّزْوِيجَ وَ السَّفَرَ فَاجْتَنِبُوا فِيهِ ذَلِكَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ فِيهِ لَمْ يَتِمَّ تَزْوِيجُهُ وَ يُفَارِقُ أَهْلَهُ وَ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ وَ لَمْ يَصْلُحْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ فَلْيَتَصَدَّقْ.
Our Master Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, said: ‘It is a righteous day, Blessed for the sword. Musa-as had struck the sea during it so it split. It is correct for every need apart from the marriage, and the travelling, so shun that during it, for the one who gets married in it his marriage will not complete and his wife will separate, and one who travels during it, and that is not correct for him, let him give charity!’’[96]
وَ فِيهِ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى يَوْمٌ صَالِحٌ لِلسَّفَرِ وَ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ يُرَادُ إِلَّا التَّزْوِيجَ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ تَزَوَّجَ فِيهِ فُرِّقَ بَيْنَهُمَا كَمَا انْفَرَقَ الْبَحْرُ لِمُوسَى ع وَ كَانَ عَيْشُهُمَا نَكِداً وَ لَا تَدْخُلْ إِذَا وَرَدْتَ مِنْ سَفَرِكَ إِلَى أَهْلِكَ وَ النُّقْلَةُ فِيهِ جَيِّدَةٌ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ قَلِيلَ الْحَظِّ وَ يَغْرَقُ كَمَا غَرِقَ فِرْعَوْنُ فِي الْيَمِّ.
And in another report, ‘It is a day correct for the travelling and for every matter intended except the marriage, for the one who gets married during it there will be separation between the two just as the sea had split for Musa-as, and their lives would be difficult, and when you return from your journey do not enter to see your wife, and the transfer during it is good, and the one born in it would be of little share and he would drown just as Pharoh-la had drowned into the Nile’’.[97]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ طَالَ عُمُرُهُ.
And in another report: ‘One born in it; his life would be prolonged!’’[98]
وَ فِيهِ رِوَايَةٌ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ مَجْنُوناً بَخِيلًا وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ أُجْهِدَ.
And in another report: ‘One born in it would be insane, miserly, and one falling sick in it would be fatigued’’.[99]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم جيد مختار مبارك و من تزوج فيه لا يتم أمره و يفارق أهله. و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه أشتاد روز اسم الملك الذي خلق عند ظهور الدين.
And the Persians said it is a good day, chosen, Blessed, and one who gets married in it his matter will not complete and his wife would separate, and Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him-ra, said, ‘Ashtad Rouz’, name of the Angel who was created at the revelation of the religion’’.
الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْجَدِيدِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتِي فِي دِينِي وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنِي صَالِحَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي فَأَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعِيشَتِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مُنْقَلَبِي
The supplication in its beginning – ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this new day and this new month! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not Make my difficulties in my religion nor Strip me of righteous of what You-azwj have Granted me! Correct my religion for me which it a protection of my affairs, and Correct my world for me in which is my livelihood, and Correct my Hereafter for me to which is my transfer!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ الصِّحَّةَ فِي جِسْمِي وَ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ النَّصِيحَةَ فِي صَدْرِي وَ ذِكْرَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى لِسَانِي وَ رِزْقاً مِنْكَ طَيِّباً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ وَ لَا مَحْظُورٍ فَارْزُقْنِي مَنْعَ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ مَا أَحْرَانِي
O Allah-azwj! Make the health to be in my body, and the light in my sight, and the conviction in my heart, and the advice in my chest, and Your-azwj Zikr by the night and the day to be upon my tongue, and goodly sustenance from You-azwj without prevention nor cautions! Grace me prevention of the dilemmas of Fitna what confuse me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَيْشَ تُقًى وَ مِيتَةً سَوِيَّةً غَيْرَ مُخْزٍ وَ لَا فَاضِحٍ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for a pious life, and a sound death without disgrace nor scandal!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَفْضَلِ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ مِنْ نُورٍ تَهْدِي بِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةٍ تَنْشُرُهَا أَوْ رِزْقٍ عِنْدَكَ تَبْسُطُهُ أَوْ ضُرٍّ تَكْشِفُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make me from Your-azwj best righteous servants in this day, from Noor You-azwj Guide me with, or Mercy Your-azwj Sprinkle, or sustenance in Your-azwj Presence You-azwj Extend, or harm You‑azwj Remove by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[100]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ الْمُخْتَارِينَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَلْقِ الذَّابِّينَ عَنْ حَرَمِ اللَّهِ الْمُعْتَزِّينَ بِعِزِّ اللَّهِ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief the Prophet Muhammad-saww, and his-saww Progeny-asws, the Pure, in their-asws entirety, the Chosen from entirety of the creatures, the defenders of Sanctity of Allah-azwj, the one honour by the Honour of Allah-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ الْكَبِيرُ يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ الْخَطَايَا وَ يَصْرِفُ الْبَلَايَا وَ يَعْلَمُ الْخَفَايَا وَ يُجْزِلُ الْعَطَايَا
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Lord-azwj, O Lord-azwj, the Great! O the One Who Knows the wrongdoings, and Turns away the afflictions, and Knows the hidden matters, there is abundant with the awards!
يَا مَنْ أَجَابَ سُؤَالَ آدَمَ عَلَى اقْتِرَافِهِ بِالْآثَامِ وَ مَعَاصِي الْأَنَامِ وَ سَاتِرٌ عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي ذَيْلَ اللَّيَالِي وَ الْأَيَّامِ إِذْ لَمْ يَجِدْ مَعَ اللَّهِ مُجِيراً وَ لَا مُدِيلًا يَفْزَعُ إِلَيْهِ وَ لَا يَرْتَجِي لِكَشْفِ مَا بِهِ أَحَداً سِوَاكَ
O the One Who Answered the request of Adam-as upon his-as acknowledgment of the offence, and disobedience of the people, and Concealer upon disobedience of the nights and the days when one can neither find any rescuer with Allah-azwj, nor any one to panic to, nor hoe for removal of what is with him, anyone besides You-azwj!
يَا جَلِيلُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي عَمَّ الْخَلَائِقَ نِعْمَتُكَ وَ غَمَرَتْهُمْ سَعَةُ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ شَمِلَتْهُمْ سَوَابِغُ مَغْفِرَتِكَ يَا كَرِيمَ الْمَآبِ الْوَاحِدَ الْوَهَّابَ الْمُنْتَقِمَ مِمَّنْ عَصَاكَ بِأَلِيمِ الْعَذَابِ
O Majestic! You-azwj are the One Who Generalises the creatures with Your-azwj bounties, and Immersed them with the vastness of Your-azwj Mercy, and Included them with Your-azwj abundant Forgiveness! O Benevolent of the abode, the One, the Bestower, the Avenger from the ones disobeying You-azwj, with the painful Punishment!
أَتَيْتُكَ يَا إِلَهِي مُقِرّاً بِالْإِسَاءَةِ عَلَى نَفْسِي إِذْ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْجًى- أَلْتَجِئُ إِلَيْهِ فِي اغْتِفَارِ مَا اكْتَسَبْتُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ يَا كَاشِفَ ضُرِّ أَيُّوبَ وَ هَمِّ يَعْقُوبَ وَ لَمْ أَجِدْ مَنْ أَلْتَجِئُ إِلَيْهِ سِوَاكَ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
I have come to You-azwj, O my God-azwj, acknowledging the evil deeds upon himself when I cannot find a rescuer to shelter to regarding Forgiveness of what sins I have earned! O Remover of the harm of Ayoub-as, and worries of Yaqoub-as, and I cannot find anyone to shelter to besides You-azwj, O Living, O Eternal!
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ أَقَمْتَنِي مَقَامَ إِلَهِيَّتِكَ وَ أَنْتَ جَمِيلُ السَّتْرِ وَ تَسْأَلُنِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْأَشْهَادِ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ مَا اكْتَسَبْتُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ يَا خَيْرَ مَنِ اسْتُدْعِيَ لِكَشْفِ الرَّغَائِبِ وَ أَنْجَحَ مَأْمُولٍ لِكَشْفِ اللَّوَازِبِ لَكَ يَا رَبَّاهْ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ مِنِّي مَخْبِيَّاتِ السَّرَائِرِ
My God-azwj! You-azwj have Placed me in the position of acknowledging Your-azwj Divinity, and You-azwj are the one who beautifully Conceals faults, yet You-azwj will Question me in front of witnesses, and You-azwj, my Master and Protector, already Know the sins I have committed. O Best of those called upon for the fulfilment of desires and the most successful in Answering hopes for resolving difficulties, to You, O Lord-azwj, all faces are humbled, and You-azwj already Know the hidden secrets within me!
فَإِنْ كُنْتُ غَيْرَ مُسْتَأْهِلٍ وَ كُنْتُ مُسْرِفاً عَلَى نَفْسِي بِانْتِهَاكِ الْحُرُمَاتِ نَاسِياً لِمَا اجْتَرَمْتُ مِنَ الْهَفَوَاتِ الْمُسْتَحِقَّ بِهَا الْعُقُوبَاتِ وَ أَنْتَ لَطِيفٌ بِجُودِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْرِفِينَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ عَلَى بَابٍ مِنْ أَبْوَابِ مِنَحِكَ سَائِلًا وَ عَنِ التَّعَرُّضِ لِسُؤَالِ غَيْرِكَ بِالْمَسْأَلَةِ عَادِلًا وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ جَمِيلِ صِفَاتِكَ رَدُّ سَائِلٍ مَلْهُوفٍ فَلَا تَرُدَّنِي مِنْ كَرَمِكَ وَ نِعَمِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
If I am not deserving, and I have been excessive being unjust to myself by violating sanctities and forgetting the mistakes I have committed that warrant Punishment, yet You-azwj are Gentle in Your-azwj Generosity toward the transgressors. I have come to You-azwj in the morning and evening, standing at the door of Your-azwj Gifts, asking, and avoiding seeking from anyone but You-azwj. It is not among Your-azwj beautiful Attributes to Turn away a desperate supplicant. So, do not Turn me away from Your-azwj Generosity and Blessings, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا افْتَرَضْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ حُقُوقِ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ وَ الْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ فَاحْمِلْهُ اللَّهُمَّ عَنِّي بِجُودِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ.
O Allah-azwj, and whatever You-azwj had Obligated upon me, from rights of the fathers and the mothers, and brothers and the sisters, Carry these, O Allah-azwj from me by Your-azwj Generosity and Your-azwj Forgiveness, O Benevolent, O Magnificent!’’[101]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنِ اتَّفَقَ أَنْ يَكُونَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةَ فَلْتَصُمِ الْأَرْبِعَاءَ وَ الْخَمِيسَ وَ الْجُمُعَةَ وَ لْيَقُلْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ مَعَ الزَّوَالِ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَتَّفِقْ فَلْيَدْعُ أَوَّلَ النَّهَارِ بِهِ-
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication. Our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘If by coincidence that this day happens to be the Friday, let him fast the Wednesday, and the Thursday, and the Friday, and says this supplication with the midday, and if it does not coincide, let him supplicate in the beginning of the day with it: –
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سُدَّ فَقْرِي بِجُودِكَ وَ تَغَمَّدْ ظُلْمِي بِفَضْلِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ فَرِّغْ قَلْبِي لِذِكْرِكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Block my poverty with Your-azwj Generosity, and Sheath my injustice with Your-azwj Grace and Your-azwj Pardon, and Free my heart for Your-azwj Zikr!
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ مَا فِيهِنَّ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ رَبَّ السَّبْعِ الْمَثَانِي وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ إِسْرَافِيلَ وَ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ رَبَّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رَبَّ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ
O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of the seven skies and whatever is within these, and whatever is between these, and Lord-azwj of the seven earths, and whatever is within these and whatever is between these, and Lord-azwj of the seven Doubles (Masaany) and the Magnificent Quran, and Lord-azwj of Jibraeel-as, and Mikaeel-as, and Israfeel-as, and Lord-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit altogether, and Lord-azwj of Muhammad-saww last of the Prophets-as, and Lord-azwj of the Prophets-as and the Messengers-as, and Lord-azwj of the creatures altogether!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي تَقُومُ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ تَقُومُ بِهِ الْأَرَضُونَ وَ بِهِ تَرْزُقُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ بِهِ أَحْصَيْتَ كَيْلَ الْبُحُورِ وَ زِنَةَ الْجِبَالِ وَ بِهِ تُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ بِهِ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَ بِهِ تُنْشِئُ السَّحَابَ وَ بِهِ تُرْسِلُ الرِّيَاحَ وَ بِهِ تَرْزُقُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ بِهِ أَحْصَيْتَ عَدَدَ الرِّمَالِ وَ بِهِ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ وَ بِهِ تَقُولُ لِلشَّيْءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name by which You-azwj Established the skies, and by it You-azwj Established the earths, and by it You-azwj Sustain the living, and by it You-azwj Count measurement of the oceans and weight of the mountains, and by it You-azwj Cause the living to die, and by it You-azwj Revive the dead, and by it You Grow the clouds, and by it You-azwj Send the winds, and by it You-azwj Provide the living, and by it You-azwj Count the number of grains of sand, and by it You-azwj Do whatever You-azwj Desire, and by it You-azwj Say to the thing: “Be!”, and it comes into being!
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي سُؤْلِي وَ مُنَايَ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِيَ الْفَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ خَوْفِي وَ أَنْ تُحْيِيَنِي فِي أَتَمِّ النِّعْمَةِ وَ أَعْظَمِ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ أَفْضَلِ الرِّزْقِ وَ السَّعَةِ وَ الدَّعَةِ وَ مَا لَمْ تَزَلْ تَعُودُنِيهِ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Answer my supplication for me, and to Grant me my requests and my wishes, and to Make for me the relief from Your-azwj Presence, and Hasten my relief from You-azwj by Your-azwj Mercy and well-being, and to Secure my fear, and to Revive me in completing the bounties, and Enlarge the well-being, and the best sustenance, and the vastness, and the prosperity, and not cease to Repeat it!
يَا إِلَهِي وَ تَرْزُقَنِي الشُّكْرَ عَلَى مَا آتَيْتَنِي وَ أَبْلَيْتَنِي وَ تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ تَامّاً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ صِلْ ذَلِكَ تَامّاً أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي حَتَّى تَصِلَ ذَلِكَ لِي بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ
O my God-azwj, and Grace me the thanking upon what You-azwj have Given me and Make that complete for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live, and Connect that with completeness for ever for as long as You-azwj Cause me to live until You-azwj Connect that for me with bliss of the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ النَّصْرِ وَ الْخِذْلَانِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْغِنَى وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْخَيْرِ وَ الشَّرِّ
O Allah-azwj! In Your-azwj Hand (control) are reins of the world and the Hereafter, and in Your‑azwj Hand are reins of the Help and the abandonment, and in Your-azwj Hand are reins of the riches and the poverty, and in Your-azwj Hand are reins of the good and the evil!
اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ مِلَاكُ أَمْرِي وَ دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعِيشَتِي وَ آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مُنْقَلَبِي
O Allah-azwj! Bless for me in my religion which is a control of my affairs and my world in which is my livelihood, and my Hereafter to which is my transfer!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي
O Allah-azwj, and Bless for me in entirety of my affairs!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَعْدُكَ حَقٌّ وَ لِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ وَ السَّاعَةُ حَقٌّ وَ الْجَنَّةُ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارُ حَقٌّ
O Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj! Your-azwj Promise is True, and meeting You-azwj is true, and the Hour is true, and the Paradise is true, and the Hellfire is true!
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَحْيَا وَ الْمَمَاتِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَكَارِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ فِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَ الْفُجُورِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْفَخْرِ- وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْبُخْلِ وَ السَّرَفِ وَ الْهَرَمِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَكَارِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ سَبَقَ مِنِّي مَا قَدْ سَبَقَ مِنْ قَدِيمِ مَا اكْتَسَبْتُ وَ جَنَيْتُ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ زَلَلٍ قَدَمِي وَ مَا كَسَبَتْ يَدَايَ وَ مِمَّا جَنَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَهُ وَ عِلْمُكَ بِي أَفْضَلُ مِنْ عِلْمِي بِنَفْسِي
O Allah-azwj! It has preceded from me what has preceded from old of what I have earned and what crimes I have committed against myself, and from slips of my feet, and what my hands have earned, and what crime I have committed against myself and You-azwj Know it, and Your‑azwj Knowledge with me is superior to my knowledge of myself!
وَ أَنْتَ يَا رَبِّ تَمْلِكُ مِنِّي مَا لَا أَمْلِكُ مِنْ نَفْسِي مِنْهَا مَا خَلَقْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ وَ تَفَرَّدْتَ بِخَلْقِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً وَ لَسْتُ شَيْئاً إِلَّا بِكَ وَ لَسْتُ أَرْجُو الْخَيْرَ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ لَمْ أَصْرِفْ عَنْ نَفْسِي سُوءاً قَطُّ إِلَّا مَا صَرَفْتَهُ عَنِّي
And You-azwj, O Lord-azwj Control from me what I cannot control from myself from these what You-azwj have Created me O Lord-azwj, and Individualised my creation, and I was not anything and I am not anything except with You-azwj, and I don’t hope for the good except from Your‑azwj Presence, and I cannot turn evil away from myself at all except what You-azwj Turn it away from me!
عَلَّمْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ رَزَقْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَمْلِكْ وَ لَمْ أَحْتَسِبْ وَ بَلَّغْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا لَمْ أَكُنْ أَرْجُو وَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا قَصُرَ عَنْهُ أَمَلِي فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ أَعْطِنِي فِي قَلْبِي مِنَ الرِّضَا مَا يَهُونُ عَلَيَّ بِهِ بَوَائِقُ الدُّنْيَا-
You-azwj have Taught me, O Lord-azwj what I did not know, and You-azwj Provided me O Lord-azwj what I did not own and did not anticipate, and You-azwj Made me reach O Lord-azwj to what I could not hope for, and You-azwj Granted me O Lord-azwj what my wishes had been deficient from! For You-azwj is the abundant Praise, O Forgive of the sin! Forgive for me and Give me the satisfaction in my heart of what would deem insignificant to me the disasters of the world, due to it!
اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ لِيَ الْيَوْمَ يَا رَبِّ بَابَ الْأَمْنِ الْبَابَ الَّذِي فِيهِ الْفَرَجُ وَ الْعَافِيَةُ وَ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ
O Allah-azwj! Open for me today, O Lord-azwj, the door of security in which is the relief and the well-being and the goodness, all of it!

اللَّهُمَّ فَكُلُّ مَنْ قَدَّرْتَ لَهُ عَلَى مَقْدُرَةٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ أَوْ مَلَّكْتَهُ شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِي فَخُذْ عَنِّي بِقَلْبِهِمْ وَ أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ أَسْمَاعِهِمْ وَ أَبْصَارِهِمْ وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ وَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ وَ عَنْ أَيْمَانِهِمْ وَ عَنْ شَمَائِلِهِمْ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ حَتَّى لَا يَصِلَ إِلَيَّ أَحَدٌ مِنْهُمْ بِسُوءٍ
O Allah-azwj! All the ones from Your-azwj creatures and from Your-azwj servants whom You-azwj have Enabled for or Made them control anything of my affairs, Seize with their hearts on my behalf, and their tongues, and their hearing, and their sights, and from their front, and from their back, and from above them, and from beneath their feet, and on their right and on their left, and from wherever You-azwj Desire, and however You-azwj Desire, and whenever You-azwj Desire until no one from them can arrive to me with evil!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي حِفْظِكَ وَ سَتْرِكَ وَ جِوَارِكَ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَنْ تُسْكِنَنِي دَارَكَ دَارَ السَّلَامِ

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ أَنْ تَرَحَّمَ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُبَارِكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ وَ تَرَحَّمْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ

O Noor of the skies and the earth! An example of His Light is like a niche wherein is a lamp, the lamp is in a glass, and the glass is as if it is a brightly shining star ignited from a Blessed tree of olives, neither eastern nor western. Its oil almost illuminates and even though fire does not touch it. Light upon Light. Allah Guides to His Light ones He so Desires to, and Allah Strikes examples for the people, and Allah is Knowing of all things [24:35]!
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي بِنُورِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي الْقِيَامَةِ نُوراً مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِي وَ عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ عَنْ شِمَالِي أَهْتَدِي بِهِ إِلَى دَارِكَ دَارِ السَّلَامِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

And I seek Refuge with You-azwj from being abducted from my front, or from my back, or from my right, or from my left, or from above me, or from beneath me!

And I seek Refuge with You-azwj, ‘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]!
يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا أَنْتَ رَحْمَانُ الدُّنْيَا مَعَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمُهُمَا صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَ اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي وَ اقْضِ لِي جَمِيعَ حَوَائِجِي- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
O Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and their Mercier! You-azwj are the Beneficent to the world with the Hereafter and their Mercier! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and forgive my sins for me, and Pay off my debts on my behalf, and Fulfil for me entirety of my needs!

الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْوَقْرِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَنْظَرِ فِي النَّفْسِ وَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ وَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْقَبْرِ وَ الْمَرْجِعِ إِلَى النَّارِ

يَا ذَا الْمَعْرُوفِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَبَداً يَا ذَا النِّعَمِ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى عَدَداً صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ مَعْرُوفَكَ وَ لَا عَادَتَكَ الْجَمِيلَةَ عِنْدِي أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي بِالتَّضَرُّعِ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَا بِالدُّخُولِ مَعَهُمْ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ أُمُورِهِمُ الْمُشَارَكَةِ فِي حَالٍ مِنْ أَحْوَالِهِمْ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِذُنُوبٍ قَدَّمْتُهَا إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

اليوم السابع و العشرون
The twenty-seventh day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُبَارَكٌ مُخْتَارٌ جَيِّدٌ يَصْلُحُ لِطَلَبِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ الشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الدُّخُولِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ الزَّرْعِ وَ الْخُصُومَةِ وَ لِقَاءِ الْقُضَاةِ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ الِابْتِدَاءَاتِ وَ الْأَسْبَابِ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ سَعِيدٌ جَيِّدٌ
Our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a Blessed day, chosen, good, correct for seeking the needs, and the buying and the selling, the entry to see the ruler, and the building and the cultivation, and facing adversaries, and meeting the judges, and the journey, and the beginnings, and the foundation, and the marriage, and he it is a fortunate day, good.
وَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فَاطْلُبْ مَا شِئْتَ خَفِيفٌ لِسَائِرِ الْأَحْوَالِ وَ اتَّجِرْ فِيهِ وَ طَالِبْ بِحَقِّكَ وَ اطْلُبْ عَدُوَّكَ وَ تَزَوَّجْ وَ ادْخُلْ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ أَلْقِ فِيهِ مَنْ شِئْتَ وَ يُكْرَهُ فِيهِ إِخْرَاجُ الدَّمِ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ مَاتَ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ جَمِيلًا حَسَناً طَوِيلَ الْعُمُرِ كَثِيرَ الرِّزْقِ قَرِيباً إِلَى النَّاسِ مُحَبَّباً إِلَيْهِمْ
And in it is Laylat Al-Qadr therefore seek whatever you desire. It is light for rest of the situation, and trade in it, and seek your rights, and face your enemy, and get marries, and enter to see the ruler, and meet during it whoever you desire, and it is disliked in it to extract the blood, and one falling sick in it would die, and one born in it would be beautiful, handsome, have a long life, be of abundance sustenance, near to the people beloved to them’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى يَكُونُ غَشُوماً مَرْزُوقاً.
And in another report, ‘He would be oppressive, (but) Graced’’.[104]
وَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَعْقُوبُ ع مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ مَرْزُوقاً مَحْبُوباً عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ لَكِنَّهُ تَكْثُرُ أَحْزَانُهُ وَ يَفْسُدُ بَصَرُهُ.
And Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘Yaqoub-as was born in it. One born in it would be Graced, loved among his family, his grief would be a lot, and his sight would be spoilt’’.[105]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم جيد يحمد للحوائج و تسهيل الأمور و الآمال و التصرفات و لقاء التجار و السفر و المسافر يحمد فيه أمره و من ولد فيه يكون مرزوقا محببا إلى الناس طويل عمره.
And the Persians said it is a good day, commended for the needs, and facilitates the matters, and the secure, and the dealings, and meeting the traders, and the journey, and the traveller, his affair would be commended, and one born in it would be Graced, beloved to the people, his age would be long.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه آسمان روز اسم الملك الموكل بالطير و في رواية أخرى بالسماوات.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him-ra, said, ‘Asmaan Rouz’, name of the Angel Allocate with the birds’, and in another report, with the skies.
أقول ما وقع في قوله ع و فيه ليلة القدر لعله محمول على التقية لأن كون ليلة القدر الليلة السابعة و العشرون من شهر رمضان إنما هو مذهب العامة و قد سبق تحقيق ليلة القدر في أبواب الصيام و سيأتي أيضا في باب أعمال ليالي القدر ما يرشدك إلى ما قلناه.
I am saying, whatever has occurred in his-asws words: ‘And in it is Laylat Al Qadr’, perhaps it is carried upon the Taqiyyah because Laylay Al Qadr would be the twenty-seventh night of a month of Ramazan. But rather it is a doctrine of the general Muslim, and the research on Laylat Al Qadr has preceded in the chapters of fasts, and it shall come as well in the chapter of acts of worship on the Laylat Al Qadr what would guide you to what we are saying’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ صَاحِبُ الْعُدَدِ الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ بِلَا نَفَادٍ وَ الْآخِرُ بِلَا أَعْوَادٍ تَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ وَ مَا يَسَّرَ الضَّمِيرُ
Then the author of (the book) ‘Al-Udad’, ‘The supplication in its beginning – ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord‑azwj of this new day, and this new month, and Lord-azwj of every day! You-azwj are the First without depletion, and the Last without decline! You-azwj Know treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal, and the conscience keeps as secret!
أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ الْخَاضِعُ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ الْمُسْتَجِيرُ عَمِلْتُ سُوءاً وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
You-azwj are my Lord-azwj and I am Your-azwj servant, the humble, the needy, the submissive, seeking the shelter! I have worked evil and have been unjust to myself, so Forgive me. Surely, no one forgives the sins except You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ وَ الْإِثْمِ وَ الْبَغْيِ بِغَيْرِ الْحَقِّ وَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ مَا لَمْ تَنْزِلْ بِهِ سُلْطَاناً وَ أَنْ أَقُولَ عَلَيْكَ كَذِباً وَ بُهْتَاناً
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the dilemmas of Fitna, and the sin, and the rebellion without right, and for me to associate with You-azwj what Authorisation has not been revealed for it, and for my saying a false accusation against You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ دَوَامَ الْعَافِيَةِ التَّامَّةِ الْمُحِيطَةِ بِجَمِيعِ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the well-being, and constant good health, the complete, inclusive of the entirety family, and the wealth, and every bounty! I ask Allah-azwj for the Pardon, and the well-being in the world and the Hereafter!’’[106]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ مالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ- اهْدِنَا الصِّراطَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ صِراطَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ غَيْرِ الْمَغْضُوبِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا الضَّالِّينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ ذُرِّيَّتِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ-
And it is recommended to supplicate during is also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2] The Beneficent, the Merciful [1:3] Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4] (It is) You we worship And You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5] Guide us to be on the Straight Path [1:6] The path of those You have Bestowed Bounties upon other than of those You are Wrathful upon nor of the straying ones [1:7], and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief the Prophet Muhammad-saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, the Pure, and his-saww entire offspring.
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِسُؤَالِهِ مَسْئُولًا غَيْرَكَ وَ أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْكَ اعْتِمَادَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ لِاعْتِمَادِهِ مُعْتَمَداً سِوَاكَ لِأَنَّكَ الْأَوَّلُ الْأَوْلَى الَّذِي ابْتَدَأْتَ الِابْتِدَاءَ وَ كَوَّنْتَهُ بَادِياً بِلُطْفِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj a request of the one who did not find anyone to ask for his request apart from You-azwj, and I rely upon You-azwj the reliance of the one who did not find anyone to rely upon for his reliance besides You-azwj! The First, the Foremost Who Initiated the beginning, and Brought into being revealing Your-azwj Subtlety!
فَاسْتَكَانَ عَلَى سُنَّتِكَ وَ أَنْشَأْتَهَا كَمَا أَرَدْتَ بِإِحْكَامِ التَّدْبِيرِ وَ أَنْتَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَحْكَمُ وَ أَعَزُّ مِنْ أَنْ تُحِيطَ الْعُقُولُ بِمَبْلَغِ عِلْمِكَ وَ وَصْفِكَ
He has submitted to Your-azwj Sunnah and Grew it just as You-azwj Wanted with the Judgments of the Management, and You-azwj are more Majestic and Wiser, and Mightier that for the intellect to encompass the extent of Your-azwj Knowledge and Your-azwj description!
أَنْتَ الْقَائِمُ الَّذِي لَا يُلِحُّكَ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ عَلَيْكَ فَإِنَّمَا أَنْتَ تَقُولُ لِلشَّيْءِ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ أَمْرُكَ مَاضٍ وَ وَعْدُكَ حَتْمٌ- لَا يَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ شَيْءٌ وَ لَا يَفُوتُكَ شَيْءٌ وَ إِلَيْكَ تُرَدُّ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبُ عَلَيَّ
You-azwj are the Eternal Who is not pressurised by the insistence of the insisting ones upon You-azwj. Rather, You-azwj Say to the thing: “Be!”, so it comes into being. Your-azwj Command has passed and Your-azwj Promise is Ordained! Nothing escapes from You-azwj nor is anything missed out from You-azwj, and all things return to You-azwj and Your-azwj are the Watcher upon me!
إِلَهِي أَنْتَ الَّذِي مَلَكْتَ الْمُلُوكَ فَتَوَاضَعَتْ لِهَيْبَتِكَ الْأَعِزَّاءُ وَ دَانَ لَكَ بِالطَّاعَةِ الْأَوْلِيَاءُ وَ احْتَوَيْتَ بِإِلَهِيَّتِكَ عَلَى الْمَجْدِ وَ السَّنَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ
My God-azwj! You-azwj are the One Who Rules the kings so the mighty ones humbled to Your-azwj Prestige, and the Guardians made it a religion for You-azwj with the obedience, and encompassed with Your-azwj Divinity upon the glory and the Splendour, and You-azwj are Knower of the unseen!
إِلَهِي إِنْ كُنْتُ اقْتَرَفْتُ ذُنُوباً حَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ بِاقْتِرَانِي إِيَّاهَا فَأَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَجُودَ عَلَيَّ بِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تُنْقِذَنِي مِنْ أَلِيمِ عُقُوبَتِكَ
My God-azwj! If I have committed such sins which are a barrier between me and You-azwj due to my having committed these, then You-azwj are Rightful of being Generous upon me with vastness of Your-azwj Mercy, Save me from Your-azwj painful Punishment!
إِلَهِي إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مُلِحٍّ لَا يَمَلُّ دُعَاءَ رَبِّهِ وَ أَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ تَضَرُّعَ غَرِيقٍ رَجَاكَ لِكَشْفِ مَا بِهِ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّءُوفُ الرَّحِيمُ
My God-azwj! I ask You-azwj the request of an insisting one not weary of supplicating to his Lord‑azwj, and I beseech to You-azwj the beseeching of a drowning one hoping to You-azwj for removal of what is with him, and You-azwj are the Kind, the Merciful!
إِلَهِي مَلَكْتَ الْخَلَائِقَ كُلَّهُمْ وَ فَطَرْتَهُمْ أَجْنَاساً مُخْتَلِفَاتٍ أَلْوَانُهُمْ حَتَّى يَقَعَ هُنَاكَ مَعْرِفَتُهُمْ لِبَعْضِهِمْ بَعْضاً تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً كَمَا شِئْتَ
My God-azwj! You-azwj Rule the creatures, all of them, and You-azwj Natured them of genus of different types until their recognition of each other occurs! Blessed are You-azwj and Exalted from what the unjust ones are saying, Lofty, Great just as You-azwj Desire!
فَتَعَالَيْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ وَزِيرٍ وَ تَعَزَّزْتَ عَنْ مُؤَامَرَةِ شَرِيكٍ وَ تَنَزَّهْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ الْأَبْنَاءِ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ عَنْ مُلَامَسَةِ النِّسَاءِ فَلَيْسَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ بِمُدْرِكَةٍ لَكَ وَ لَا الْأَوْهَامُ وَاقِعَةً عَلَيْكَ فَلَيْسَ لَكَ شَبِيهٌ وَ لَا نِدُّ وَ لَا عَدِيلٌ وَ أَنْتَ الْفَرْدُ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الْأَوَّلُ الْآخِرُ الْقَائِمُ الْأَحَدُ الدَّائِمُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
Exalted are You-azwj from Taking a minister, and Mightier than consulting an associate, and Removed from Taking the sons, and Holier from Touching the women! It isn’t for the vision to realise You-azwj nor for the imaginations to occur upon You-azwj! There is neither any resemblance for You-azwj, nor an opponent, nor an equal, and You-azwj are the Individual, the One, the First, the Last, the Custodian, the One, the Permanent, the Non-Hollow Who does not beget and is no begotten and no one is a match for Him-azwj!
يَا مَنْ ذَلَّتْ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْعُظَمَاءُ وَ مَنْ كَلَّتْ عَنْ بُلُوغِ ذَاتِهِ أَلْسُنُ الْبُلَغَاءِ وَ مَنْ تَضَعْضَعَتْ لِهَيْبَتِهِ رُءُوسُ الرُّؤَسَاءِ وَ قَدِ اسْتَحْكَمَتْ بِتَدْبِيرِهِ الْأَشْيَاءُ وَ اسْتَعْجَمَتْ عَنْ بُلُوغِ صِفَاتِهِ عِبَارَةُ الْعُلَمَاءِ
O You-azwj before Whom the great ones are humbled in submission to Your-azwj Majesty, and Whose Essence the tongues of the eloquent fail to grasp! O You-azwj before Whom the heads of the leaders bow down in awe, and by Whose governance all things are perfectly ordered, while the expressions of the scholars fall short of comprehending Your-azwj Attributes!
أَنْتَ الَّذِي فِي عُلُوِّهِ دَانٍ وَ فِي دُنُوِّهِ عَالٍ أَنْتَ أَمَلِي سَلَّطْتَ الْأَشْيَاءَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ إِقْرَارِي لَكَ بِالتَّوْحِيدِ فَيَا غَايَةَ الطَّالِبِينَ وَ أَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ وَ غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ وَ أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ
You-azwj are the One Who, despite being Exalted, is Near, and despite being Near, is Exalted. You-azwj are my Hope. You-azwj have subjected all things to me after my acknowledgment of Your-azwj Oneness. O Ultimate goal of those who seek, O Refuge of the fearful, O Aid of the distressed, and the most Merciful of the merciful ones, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make me from the successful ones!
وَ أَنْتَ يَا رَءُوفُ يَا رَحِيمُ وَ مَا أَلْزَمْتَنِيهِ مِنْ فَرْضِ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ وَ الْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ فَاحْمِلْ ذَلِكَ عَنِّي لَهُمْ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِلْقِيَامِ بِأَدَاءِ فَرَائِضِكَ وَ أَوَامِرِكَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
And You-azwj, O Kind, O Merciful, whatever You-azwj have Necessitated on me from Obligations of the fathers and the mothers, and the brothers and the sisters, so Carry that from me to them, and Harmonise me for the standing with fulfilment of Your-azwj Obligation and Your-azwj Commands!’’[107]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى بِهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ رَحْمَةً مِنْ عِنْدِكَ تَهْدِي بِهَا قَلْبِي وَ تَجْمَعُ بِهَا أَمْرِي وَ تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعْثِي وَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا دِينِي وَ تَحْفَظُ بِهَا غَائِبِي وَ تُوَفِّي بِهَا شَهَادَتِي وَ تُكْثِرُ بِهَا مَالِي وَ تُثْمِرُ بِهَا عُمُرِي وَ تُيَسِّرُ بِهَا أَمْرِي وَ تَسْتُرُ بِهَا عَيْبِي وَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا كُلَّ فَاسِدٍ مِنْ حَالِي وَ تَصْرِفُ بِهَا عَنِّي كُلَّ مَا أَكْرَهُ وَ تُبَيِّضُ بِهَا وَجْهِي وَ تَعْصِمُنِي بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ بَقِيَّةَ عُمُرِي وَ تَزِيدُهَا فِي رِزْقِي وَ عُمُرِي وَ تُعْطِينِي بِهَا كُلَّ مَا أُحِبُّ وَ تَصْرِفُ بِهَا عَنِّي كُلَّ مَا أَكْرَهُ
And it is recommended to supplicate as well with this supplication – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for Mercy from You-azwj Guiding my heart with it, and Gather my affairs by it, and Smoother my roughness by it, and Correct my religion by it, and Protect my absence by it, and Fulfil my presence by it, and Multiply my wealth by it, and Make my life fruitful by it, Ease my matters by it, and Cover my defects by it, and Correct every spoilt state of mine by it, and Turn away by it all what I dislike, and Brighter my face by it, and Fortify me by it from every evil for the remainder of my life, and Increase in my sustenance and my life, and Grant me by it all what I love and by it Turn away from me all what I dislike!
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَا شَيْءَ قَبْلَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَا شَيْءَ بَعْدَكَ ظَهَرْتَ فَبَطَنْتَ وَ بَطَنْتَ فَظَهَرْتَ عَلَوْتَ فِي دُنُوِّكَ فَقَدَرْتَ وَ دَنَوْتَ فِي عُلُوِّكَ فَلَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the First so there is nothing before You-azwj, and You-azwj are the Last so there is nothing after You-azwj! You-azwj are Apparent but are Hidden, and You-azwj are Hidden but are Apparent! You-azwj are Exalted in Your-azwj Nearness so are Able, and are Near in Your‑azwj Exaltedness, so there is no god apart from You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُصْلِحَ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ تُصْلِحَ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعِيشَتِي وَ أَنْ تُصْلِحَ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مَآبِي وَ مُنْقَلَبِي وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Rectify my religion for me which is a protection for my affairs, and Rectify my world for me in which is my livelihood, and Rectify my Hereafter for me to which is my destination and my transfer, and to Make the life more for me in every goodness, and to Make the death as comfortable for me from every evil!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يَا صَرِيخَ الْمُسْتَصْرِخِينَ وَ مُفَرِّجَ كُرُبَاتِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ يَا كَاشِفَ الْكَرْبِ الْعَظِيمِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ اكْشِفْ كَرْبِي وَ غَمِّي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكْشِفُهَا غَيْرُكَ عَنِّي
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise before all things, and for You-azwj is the Praise after all things! O Listener to the ones crying out, and Reliever of distresses of the distressed! O Responder to supplications of the desperate! O Remover of the mighty distress! O most Merciful of the merciful ones, Remove my distress and my sadness, for no one can remove these from me apart from You-azwj!
قَدْ تَعْلَمُ حَالِي وَ صِدْقَ حَاجَتِي إِلَى بِرِّكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْضِهِمَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
You-azwj Know my situation and truthfulness of my needs to Your-azwj Righteousness and Your‑azwj Favours, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww and Fulfil these, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كُلُّهُ وَ لَكَ الْمُلْكُ كُلُّهُ وَ لَكَ الْعِزُّ كُلُّهُ وَ لَكَ السُّلْطَانُ كُلُّهُ وَ لَكَ الْقُدْرَةُ كُلُّهَا وَ الْجَبَرُوتُ وَ الْفَخْرُ كُلُّهُ وَ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ كُلُّهُ وَ إِلَيْكَ يَرْجِعُ الْأَمْرُ كُلُّهُ عَلَانِيَتُهُ وَ سِرُّهُ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, all of it, and for You-azwj is the Kingdom, all of it, and for You-azwj is the Might, all of it, and for You-azwj is the Authority, all of it, and for You-azwj is the Power, all of it, and the Force and the Pride, all of it, and the good is in Your-azwj Hand, all of it, and to You-azwj is return of the matters, all of it, it’s open and its secret!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا هَادِيَ لِمَنْ أَضْلَلْتَ وَ لَا مُضِلَّ لِمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ لَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَ لَا مُؤَخِّرَ لِمَا قَدَّمْتَ وَ لَا مُقَدِّمَ لِمَا أَخَّرْتَ وَ لَا بَاسِطَ لِمَا قَبَضْتَ وَ لَا قَابِضَ لِمَا بَسَطْتَ
O Allah-azwj! There is no guide for the one You-azwj Let to stray nor any strayer for the one You‑azwj have Guided, nor is there any preventer for what You-azwj Give nor any giver of what You-azwj have Prevented, and there is no delayer of what You-azwj have Advanced nor any advancer of what You-azwj have Delayed, nor any extender of what You-azwj have Grasped nor any grasper of what You-azwj have Extended!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ابْسُطْ عَلَيَّ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ فَضْلَكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ رِزْقَكَ

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَ بِاللَّهِ أُومِنُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَعُوذُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَلُوذُ وَ بِاللَّهِ أَعْتَصِمُ وَ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ مَنَعَتِهِ أَمْتَنِعُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ عَمَلِهِ وَ مِنْ غَلَبَتِهِ وَ حِيلَتِهِ وَ خَيْلِهِ وَ رَجِلِهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ تَرْجُفُ مَعَهُ
In the Name of Allah-azwj, and in Allah-azwj I believe, and with Allah-azwj I seek refuge, and with Allah-azwj I shelter, and with Allah-azwj I hold on to, and with the Might of Allah-azwj and His-azwj Defence I defend from the Pelted Satan-la and his-la work, and from his-la prevailing, and his-la means, and his-la cavalry and his-la infantry, and from evil of every animal trembles with him‑la!
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ وَ بِأَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحُسْنَى كُلِّهَا مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ ذَرَأَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ طَوَارِقِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ إِلَّا طَارِقاً يَطْرُقُ مِنْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فِي عَافِيَةٍ يَا رَحْمَانُ
I seek Refuge with the complete Words of Allah-azwj which can neither be surpassed by a righteous nor immoral, and by the excellent Names of Allah-azwj, all of them, what I know from these and what I don’t know, and from evil of what He-azwj Created and Scattered and formed, and from evil of knockers during the night and the day except a knocker knocking from You‑azwj with good and well-being, O Beneficent!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ عَيْنٍ نَاظِرَةٍ وَ أُذُنٍ سَامِعَةٍ وَ لِسَانٍ نَاطِقٍ وَ يَدٍ بَاطِشَةٍ وَ قَدَمٍ مَاشِيَةٍ وَ مَا أَخْفَيْتَهُ مِمَّا أَخَافُهُ فِي نَفْسِي فِي لَيْلِي وَ نَهَارِي اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِبَغْيٍ أَوْ عَنَتٍ أَوْ مَسَاءَةٍ أَوْ شَيْءٍ مَكْرُوهٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ أَوْ خِلَافٍ مِنْ جِنٍّ أَوْ إِنْسٍ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ وَ صَغِيرٍ أَوْ كَبِيرٍ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from evil of my soul, and from evil of every beholding eye, and listening ear, and speaking tongue, and powerful hand, and walking foot, and what I am scared of from what I fear regarding myself during my night and my day, O Allah-azwj, and the one who intends me with rebellion, or oppression, or evil deed, or anything I dislike, or evil, or opposition, whether from Jinn or human, near or far, and small or bid!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُحَرِّجَ صَدْرَهُ وَ أَنْ تُمْسِكَ يَدَهُ وَ تُقَصِّرَ قَدَمَهُ وَ تَقْمَعَ بَأْسَهُ وَ دَغَلَهُ وَ تُقْحِمَ لِسَانَهُ وَ تُعْمِيَ بَصَرَهُ وَ تَقْمَعَ رَأْسَهُ وَ تَرُدَّهُ بِغَيْظِهِ وَ تُشْرِقَهُ بِرِيقِهِ وَ تَحُولَ بَيْنَهُ وَ بَيْنِي وَ تَجْعَلَ لَهُ شُغُلًا شَاغِلًا مِنْ نَفْسِهِ وَ تُمِيتَهُ بِغَيْظِهِ وَ تَكْفِيَنِيهِ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
I ask You-azwj to Constrict his chest, and to Withhold his hand, and Shorten his footsteps, and Suppress his strength and his treachery, and Mute his tongue, and Blind his sight, and Suppress his head, and Return his rage, and Choke him with his saliva, and Form a barrier between him and me, and Make a pre-occupation for him with himself, and Cause him to die in his rage, and Suffice him with Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Strength, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[108]
الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ رَبَّ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ أَنْتَ تَأْتِي بِالْيَسِيرِ بَعْدَ الْعَسِيرِ- وَ أَنْتَ تَأْتِي بِالرَّخَاءِ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ وَ تَأْتِي بِالرَّحْمَةِ بَعْدَ الْقُنُوطِ وَ الْعَافِيَةُ وَ الرَّوْحُ وَ الْفَرَجُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ أَنْتَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
The supplication in its end – ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this night and this day, and Lord-azwj of every night and every day! You-azwj Send the Ease after the difficulty, and You-azwj Come with the prosperity after the adversity, and You-azwj Send the Mercy after the despondency, and the well-being, and the Spirit, and the Relief is from You-azwj! There is no associate for You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْيُسْرَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْعُسْرِ وَ أَدْعُوكَ بِمَا دَعَاكَ بِهِ عَبْدُكَ ذُو النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ تَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ- فَنادى فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ اسْتَجِبْ لِي وَ نَجِّنِي مِنَ الْغَمِّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the ease, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the difficulty, and I supplicate to You-azwj what was supplicated with by Your-azwj servant the one with the whale (Yunus), when he went away in anger, so he thought that We will never be Able upon him, and he called out in the darkness that: ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87]! So, You-azwj Responded to him-as and Rescued him-as from the sadness! Respond to me and Rescue me from the sadness by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[109]
اليوم الثامن و العشرون
The twenty-eighth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ سَعِيدٌ مُبَارَكٌ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَعْقُوبُ ع يَصْلُحُ لِلسَّفَرِ وَ جَمِيعِ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ وَ الْعِمَارَةِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الشِّرَاءِ وَ الدُّخُولِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ قَاتِلْ فِيهِ أَعْدَاءَكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَظْفَرُ بِهِمْ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ.
Our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a fortunate day, Blessed. Yaqoub-as was born in it. It is correct for the travelling and entirety of the needs and every matter, and the building, and the selling and the buying, and the entry to see the Satan‑la, and battle your enemies in it, for You-azwj will win with them, and (for) the marriage’’.[110]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى لَا تُخْرِجْ فِيهِ الدَّمَ فَإِنَّهُ رَدِيءٌ وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ يَمُوتُ وَ مَنْ أَبِقَ فِيهِ يَرْجِعُ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ حَسَناً جَمِيلًا مَرْزُوقاً مَحْبُوباً مُحَبَّباً إِلَى النَّاسِ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ مَشْغُوفاً مَحْزُوناً طُولَ عُمُرِهِ وَ يُصِيبُهُ الْغُمُومُ وَ يُبْتَلَى فِي بَدَنِهِ وَ يُعَافَى فِي آخِرِ عُمُرِهِ وَ يُعَمَّرُ طَوِيلًا وَ يُبْتَلَى فِي بَصَرِهِ.
And in another report: ‘Do not extract the blood during it for it is bad, and one who falls sick in it would die, and one who absconds in it would return, and one born in it will be handsome, beautiful, Graced, loved, beloved to the people, and to his people, passionate, sad. His life will be long, and the sadness will hit him, and he will be afflicted in his body and he will recover in the end of his life, and he will live for long, and he will be afflicted in his sight!’’[111]
وَ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ صَبِيحَ الْوَجْهِ مَسْعُودَ الْجَدِّ مُبَارَكاً مَيْمُوناً وَ مَنْ طَلَبَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً تَمَّ لَهُ وَ كَانَتْ عَاقِبَتُهُ مَحْمُودَةً.
And our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One who is born in it would be good looking of the face, fortunate of the destiny, Blessed, auspicious, and the one who seeks something during it will be completed for him, and his end-result would be praised!’’[112]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم ثقيل منحوس و في رواية أخرى يحمد فيه قضاء الحوائج و يبارك فيها و قضاء الأمور و المهمات و رفع الضرورات و لقاء القواد و الحجاب و الأجناد و هو يوم مبارك سعيد و الأحلام فيه تصح من يومها.
And Persians said it is a heavy day, inauspicious, and in another report, it is recommended in it for fulfilment of the needs, and is Blessed in it, and fulfilment of the matters, and the important matters, and raising the necessities, and meeting the leaders, and the guards, and the soldiers, and it is a Blessed day, fortunate, and the dreams in it will be proven correct in its very day.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمه الله راهياد روز اسم الملك الموكل بالقضاء بين الخلق و روي اسم الملك الموكل بالسماوات.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-ra, said, ‘Rahiyad Rouz’, name of the Angel Allocated with judging between the creatures’, and in another report, ‘name of then Angel Allocated with the skies’.
الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ رَبَّ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ كُلِّ شَهْرٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُعِدْنِي فِي سُوءٍ اسْتَنْقَذْتَنِي مِنْهُ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوّاً وَ لَا حَاسِداً أَبَداً وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي
The supplication in its beginning – ‘O Allah-azwj! Lord-azwj of this new day and every day, and Lord-azwj of this month and every month! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny‑asws of Muhammad-saww, and do not let evil return to me. Save me from it and do not let any enemy to gloat with me nor an envier, ever, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an ever, ever for as long as You-azwj Cause to live!
أَصْبَحَ ظُلْمِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِقُوَّتِكَ وَ أَصْبَحَ ذَنْبِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ أَصْبَحَ فَقْرِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِغِنَاكَ وَ أَصْبَحَ خَوْفِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِأَمْنِكَ وَ أَصْبَحَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي الْفَانِي مُسْتَجِيراً بِوَجْهِكَ الدَّائِمِ الْبَاقِي الَّذِي لَا يَفْنَى وَ لَا يَبْلَى يَا كَائِناً قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مُكَوِّنَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ كَائِناً بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
My injustice has become seeking shelter with Your-azwj Strength, and my sins have become seeking shelter with Your-azwj Forgiveness, and my poverty has become seeking refuge with Your-azwj riches, and my fear has become seeking shelter with Your-azwj Security, and my decaying perishable has become seeking shelter with Your-azwj Permanent, Remaining Face which will not perish nor decay! O Who Existed before all thing, and Creator of all things, and will be Existing after all things!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا خَلَقْتَ وَ ذَرَأْتَ وَ بَرَأْتَ وَ مَا أَنْتَ خَالِقُهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي مَكْرَ الْمَاكِرِينَ وَ حَسَدَ الْحَاسِدِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Refuge me from evil of all what You-azwj Creator, and Scattered, and Formed, and what You-azwj are its Creator, and Turn away from me plots of the plotters, and envy of the enviers, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[113]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], and may the Salawaat upon our chief the Prophet Muhammad-saww and his-saww entire Progeny-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مُعْتَرِفٍ مُذْنِبٍ أَوْبَقَتْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ مَعَاصِيهِ وَ أَصْبَى إِلَيْكَ فَلَيْسَ لِي مِنْهُ مُجِيرٌ سِوَاكَ وَ لَا أَحَدٌ غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا مُغِيثٌ أَرْأَفَ مِنْكَ وَ لَا مُعْتَمَدٌ يُعْتَمَدُ عَلَيْهِ غَيْرُكَ وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي عُدْتَ بِالنِّعَمِ وَ الْكَرَمِ وَ التَّكَرُّمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا وَ آهِلُهَا بِتَطَوُّلِكَ عَلَى غَيْرِ مُسْتَأْهِلِهَا وَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ مَنْعٌ وَ لَا حَالَكَ عَطَاءٌ وَ لَا أَبْعَدَ سَعَتَكَ سُؤَالٌ بَلْ أَدْرَرْتَ أَرْزَاقَ عِبَادِكَ وَ قَدَّرْتَ أَرْزَاقَ الْخَلَائِقِ جَمِيعِهِمْ تَطَوُّلًا مِنْكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ تَفَضُّلًا
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj a request of an acknowledgement of a sinner whose sins have destroyed him, and who turns to You-azwj, for I have no protector from them but You-azwj, and no one besides You-azwj, and no helper more compassionate than You-azwj! There is no one to rely on except You-azwj. You-azwj are the One Who Bestows Blessings, Generosity, and Kindness before they are deserved, and Grants them to those unworthy of them out of Your-azwj Grace. Neither withholding harms You-azwj nor does Giving diminish You-azwj, and no request is too great for Your-azwj Capaciousness. Rather, You-azwj have abundantly provided sustenance for Your-azwj servants, and You-azwj have Decreed the provisions of all creatures out of Your-azwj Grace and Favours toward them!
فَصَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي يَا رَبِّ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ أَهْلُ الْعَفْوِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Do with me, O Lord-azwj, what You-azwj Rightful of it nor Do with me what I am deserving of, for You-azwj are Rightful of the Pardoning and the Forgiveness!
اللَّهُمَّ كَلَّتِ الْعِبَارَةُ عَنْ بُلُوغِ مَدْحِكَ وَ هَفَا اللِّسَانُ عَنْ نَشْرِ مَحَامِدِكَ وَ تَفَضَّلْتَ عَلَيَّ بِقَصْدِي إِلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ أَحَاطَتْ بِيَ الذُّنُوبُ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ أَنْعَمُ الرَّازِقِينَ وَ أَحْسَنُ الْخالِقِينَ وَ أَجْوَدُ الْأَجْوَدَيْنِ- الْأَوَّلُ وَ الْآخِرُ وَ الظَّاهِرُ وَ الْباطِنُ وَ أَنْتَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَعَزُّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرُدَّ مَنْ أَمَّلَكَ وَ رَجَاكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا أَهْلَ الْحَمْدِ
O Allah-azwj! Expressions have failed to convey my praise of You-azwj, and my tongue has stumbled in spreading Your-azwj Commendations. Yet, You-azwj have Favoured me by turning my intention towards You-azwj, even though sins have surrounded me, and You-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and most Bestowing of the providers, and most Excellent of the creators, and most Generous of the generous ones! The First and the Last, and the Apparent, and the Hidden, and You-azwj are most Majestic and Mightier than to Return the one wishing to You-azwj and hope to You-azwj, and for You-azwj is the Praise, O Rightful of the Praise!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي تَقْضِي بِهِ الْأُمُورَ وَ الْمَقَادِيرَ وَ بِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي تَلِي التَّدْبِيرَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَحُولَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ مَا يُبَعِّدُنِي مِنْكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by the Name by which You-azwj Decree the matters and the Determination, and by Your-azwj Might which are in charge of the management, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to be a Barrier between me and what distances me from You-azwj!
يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ أَدْرِكْنِي فِيمَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ أَوْجِبْ لِي عَفْوَكَ وَ غُفْرَانَكَ وَ أَسْكَنْتَ لَهُ جَنَّتَكَ بِرَأْفَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ امْتِنَانِكَ
O Affectionate, O Bestower! Help me among the ones You-azwj Love, and Obligate Your-azwj Pardon for me and Your-azwj Forgiveness, and I can settle in Your-azwj Paradise due to Your-azwj Kindness, and Your-azwj Satisfaction, and Your-azwj Conferment!
إِلَهِي مَنْ يُتَابِعِ الْمَهَالِكَ وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ فَأَنْقِذْنِي وَ إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ فَخُذْ بِي وَ عَنْ طُغْيَانِكَ وَ مَعَاصِيكَ فَرُدَّنِي فَقَدْ عَجَّتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ إِلَيْكَ بِصُنُوفِ اللُّغَاتِ يَرْتَجِي مَحْوَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ سَتْرَ الْعُيُوبِ
My God-azwj! Who would pursue the destruction, and I am Your-azwj servant, so Save me and Take me to Your-azwj obedience, and Return me from arrogance to You-azwj and disobedience to You-azwj! The voices have clamours to You-azwj in various languages hoping for erasure of the sins and Concealment of the defects!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ تَمَامَ الْعَافِيَةِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the well-being, and I ask You-azwj for the complete well-being!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَهْدِيكَ فَاهْدِنِي وَ أَعْتَصِمُ بِكَ فَاعْصِمْنِي إِنَّكَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ وَ اجْلِبْ لِي خَيْراً لَا يَمْلِكُهُ سِوَاكَ وَ احْمِلْ عَنِّي مَغْرَمَاتِ الْآبَاءِ وَ الْأُمَّهَاتِ وَ الْإِخْوَةِ وَ الْأَخَوَاتِ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Guidance, so Guide me, and I adhere with You-azwj so Protect me! You-azwj are Rightful to be feared and Rightful of the Forgiveness, and Turn away from me the evil of every one with evil, and Attract the goodness for me no one can control it besides You‑azwj, and Carry from it the liabilities of the fathers, and the mothers, and the brother and the sisters!
يَا وَلِيَّ الْبَرَكَاتِ وَ الرَّغَائِبِ وَ الْحَاجَاتِ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ الْحَسَنَاتِ قَرِيبٌ مِمَّنْ دَعَاكَ مُجِيبٌ لِمَنْ سَأَلَكَ وَ نَادَاكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Guardian of the Blessings and the desires and the needs! Forgive for me and for the believing men and the believing women! You-azwj are Guardian of the good needs, Near from the one supplicating to You-azwj, Responding to the one asking You-azwj and calling out to You‑azwj, by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and may the Salawaat and the greetings be upon Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-asws, last of the Prophets-as by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[114]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْكَبِيرُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘O Allah-azwj! You‑azwj are the Great, the Greater from all things!

O Allah-azwj! Do not Deprive me the goodness of what You-azwj have Granted to me and do not Try me with what You-azwj have Prevented me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا تُعْطِي عِبَادَكَ مِنَ الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْإِيمَانِ وَ الْأَمَانَةِ وَ الْوَلَدِ النَّافِعِ غَيْرِ الضَّالِّ وَ لَا الْمُضِلِّ وَ غَيْرَ الضَّارِّ وَ لَا الْمُضِرِّ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for goodness of what You-azwj Give Your-azwj servants, from the family, and the wealth, and the entrustment, and the children, the beneficial not straying nor straying others, and not harmful nor harming others!

O Allah-azwj! I am needy to You-azwj and I am fearful from You-azwj, and I seek shelter with You‑azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُبَدِّلِ اسْمِي وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ جِسْمِي وَ لَا تُجْهِدْ بَلَائِي
O Allah-azwj! Neither Replace my name, nor Change my body, nor Make my Trials exhausting!

O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from someone else being more fortunate with what You-azwj have Given me than I am!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شَرِّ السُّلْطَانِ وَ مَا تَجْرِي بِهِ الْأَقْلَامُ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from the evil of Satan-la and from the evil of a ruler, and what the pens have flowed with!

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for righteous deeds, and stable life, and lasting sustenance!
اللَّهُمَّ كَتَبْتَ الْآثَامَ وَ اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَى السَّرَائِرِ وَ حُلْتَ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ الْقُلُوبِ فَالْقُلُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مَفْضِيَّةٌ مَصْفِيَّةٌ وَ السِّرُّ عِنْدَكَ عَلَانِيَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا أَمْرُكَ إِذَا أَرَدْتَ شَيْئاً أَنْ تَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Write the sins, and Notice upon the secrets, and Intervene between us and the hearts, so the hearts are exposed to You-azwj, clear, and the secret in Your-azwj Presence is open, and rather Your-azwj Command whenever You-azwj Want anything is to Say to it: “Be!”, and it comes into being!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَ طَاعَتَكَ فِي كُلِّ عُضْوٍ مِنْ أَعْضَائِي لِأَعْمَلَ بِهَا ثُمَّ لَا تُخْرِجَهَا مِنِّي أَبَداً
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Mercy to enter into Your-azwj obedience, in every limb from my limbs for working with it, then not Extract it from me, ever!

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Mercy to Extract disobedience to You-azwj from every limb from my limbs by Your-azwj Mercy so I would desist from it, then I will not return to it, ever!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Pardoning and Love the pardoning, so Pardon me!
اللَّهُمَّ كُنْتَ إِذْ لَا شَيْءَ مَحْسُوساً وَ تَكُونُ أَخِيراً أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ تَنَامُ الْعُيُونُ وَ تَغُورُ النُّجُومُ وَ لَا تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَ لَا نَوْمُ
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Existed when there was nothing sensed, and You-azwj will be Existing at the end, the Living, the Eternal! The eyes sleep and the starts disappear, and neither does slumber seize You-azwj nor sleep!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي غَمِّي وَ هَمِّي
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Relieve my sadness from me and my worries!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ يُهِمُّنِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ثَبِّتْ رَجَاكَ فِي قَلْبِي يَصُدَّنِي حَتَّى تُغْنِيَنِي بِهِ عَنْ رَجَاءِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ رَجَاءِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ وَ حَتَّى لَا يَكُونَ ثِقَتِي إِلَّا بِكَ
O Allah-azwj! Make relief for me in every matter concerning me, and Affirm desire for You-azwj in my heart, Strengthening me until You-azwj Make me needless with it from hoping to the created being, and hoping to the ones besides You-azwj, and until my trust does not happen to be except with You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَرُدَّنِي فِي غَمْرَةٍ سَاهِيَةٍ وَ لَا تَكْتُبْنِي مِنَ الْغَافِلِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Do not let me return into the depths of heedlessness nor Write me as being from the heedless ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُضِلَّ عِبَادَكَ وَ أَسْتَرِيبَ إِجَابَتَكَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from straying Your-azwj servants and doubting Your-azwj Response!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ لِي ذُنُوباً قَدْ أَحْصَاهَا كِتَابُكَ وَ أَحَاطَ بِهَا عِلْمُكَ وَ نَفَّذَهَا بَصَرِي وَ لَطُفَ بِهَا خُبْرُكَ وَ كَتَبَتْهَا مَلَائِكَتُكَ
O Allah-azwj! There are sins for me which Your-azwj Book have enumerated, and Your-azwj Knowledge has Encompassed, and my sight has witnessed these, and Your-azwj news was subtle with it and Your-azwj Angels recorded it!
أَنَا الْخَاطِئُ الْمُذْنِبُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ الْغَفُورُ الْمُحْسِنُ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِي التَّوْبَةِ وَ الْإِنَابَةِ وَ أَسْتَقِيلُكَ فِيمَا سَلَفَ مِنِّي فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي مَا سَلَفَ- إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
I am the sinful wrongdoer and You-azwj are the Forgiving Lord-azwj, the good Doer! I desire to You-azwj regarding the repentance and the submission, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness regarding what has passed from me, so Forgive for me and Pardon from me what has passed, surely, You-azwj are the Accepter of the Repentance, the Merciful!
لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ اللَّهُمَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مَنْ لَمْ يَخْلُقْنِي وَ مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمْنِي وَ مَنْ أَنْتَ أَوْلَى بِرَحْمَتِي مِنْهُ
O Allah-azwj! Do not let anyone prevail upon me in the world and the Hereafter someone who did not create me, and one who will not mercy me, and one whom You-azwj are Foremost with Showing Mercy to me than him!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مَا سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ فِعْلِ الْعُيُوبِ وَ الْعَوْرَاتِ وَ أَخَّرْتَ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْعُقُوبَاتِ مَكْراً مِنْكَ وَ اسْتِدْرَاجاً لِتَأْخُذَنِي بِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ تَفْضَحَنِي بِذَلِكَ عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي فِي الدَّارَيْنِ كِلْتَيْهِمَا يَا رَبِّ فَإِنَّكَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ-
O Allah-azwj, and whatever You-azwj have Concealed upon me, from faulty actions, and defects, and Delay from those Punishments, do not Make that as a Plan from You-azwj and a gradualness for Seizing me with it on the Day of Qiyamah, and Exposing me with that upon heads of the creatures, and Pardon me in the two Houses (world and the Hereafter), both of them, O Lord‑azwj, for You-azwj are Forgiving, Merciful!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَهْلًا أَنْ أَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ فَإِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَبْلُغَنِي لِأَنَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَنَا شَيْءٌ فَلْتَسَعْنِي رَحْمَتُكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! If I don’t happen to be deserving to reach Your-azwj Mercy, then Your-azwj Mercy is Rightful of reaching me because it is capacious of all things, and I am a ‘thing’, so Include me in Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ خَصَصْتَ بِذَلِكَ عِبَاداً أَطَاعُوكَ فِيمَا أَمَرْتَهُمْ بِهِ وَ عَمِلُوا فِيمَا خَلَقْتَهُمْ لَهُ فَإِنَّهُمْ لَنْ يَنَالُوا ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ لَا يُوَفِّقُهُمْ إِلَّا أَنْتَ كَانَتْ رَحْمَتُكَ إِيَّاهُمْ قَبْلَ طَاعَتِهِمْ لَكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj, and if You-azwj have distinguished certain servants who obeyed You-azwj in what You-azwj Commanded them and acted upon what You-azwj Created them for, then they will not attain that except through You-azwj, and no one will grant them success but You-azwj. Your-azwj Mercy has come to them before their obedience to You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ فَخُصَّنِي يَا سَيِّدِي وَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ يَا إِلَهِي وَ يَا كَهْفِي وَ يَا حِرْزِي وَ يَا ذُخْرِي وَ يَا قُوَّتِي وَ يَا جَابِرِي وَ يَا خَالِقِي وَ يَا رَازِقِي وَ يَا كَنْزِي بِمَا خَصَصْتَهُمْ بِهِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَهُمْ لَهُ وَ ارْحَمْنِي كَمَا رَحِمْتَهُمْ رَحْمَةً لَامَّةً تَامَّةً عَامَّةً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! O my Chief and O my Master, and O my God-azwj, and O my Cave, and O my Protection, and O my Store, and O my Strength, and O my Mender, O my Creator, and O my Provider, O my Treasure, Particularise me with what You-azwj have Particularised them with, and Harmonise me to what You-azwj had Harmonised to, and Mercy me just as You-azwj had Mercied them, a universal, complete, general Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!
يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ يَا مَنْ لَا يُغَلِّطُهُ السَّائِلُونَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُبْرِمُهُ إِلْحَاحُ الْمُلِحِّينَ أَذِقْنِي بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَ حَلَاوَةَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ طَلَبَ ذِكْرِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ
O the One-azwj Who Listening does not pre-occupy Him-azwj from listening (to another)! O the One-azwj the request does not err Him-azwj! O the One-azwj the insistence of the insisting ones does not Tire him! Make me taste coolness of Your-azwj Pardon and sweetness of Your-azwj Forgiveness, and seek Your-azwj Zikr and Your-azwj Mercy!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا وَعَدْتُكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي ثُمَّ أَخْلَفْتُكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ أَمْرٍ أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ فَخَالَطَنِي فِيهِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِلنِّعَمِ الَّتِي أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ فَتَقَوَّيْتُ بِهَا عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from what I had repented to You-azwj from then I returned to it, and I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness from myself then I opposed You-azwj, and I seek Forgiveness for every matter I had intended Your-azwj Face with but it mingles with me regarding it what wasn’t for You-azwj, and I seek Forgiveness for the bounties which You-azwj had Favoured with upon me but I was strengthened with it upon disobeying You-azwj!
وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا دَعَانِي إِلَيْهِ الْهَوَى مِنْ قَبُولِ الرُّخَصِ فِيمَا أَتَيْتُهُ وَ أَثْبَتَّهُ عَلَيَّ مِمَّا هُوَ عِنْدَكَ حَرَامٌ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِلذُّنُوبِ الَّتِي لَا يَعْلَمُهَا غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا يَسَعُهَا إِلَّا حِلْمُكَ وَ عَفْوُكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ يَمِينٍ سَبَقَتْ مِنِّي حَنِثْتُ فِيهَا عِنْدَكَ
And I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness for what my desires led me to accept of the concessions in what I have done, and I affirm it upon myself from what is forbidden in Your-azwj Sight. And I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness for the sins that only You-azwj Know, which Your-azwj Forbearance and pardon can encompass. And I seek Your-azwj Forgiveness for every oath that I have broken before You-azwj!
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا مَنْ عَرَّفَنِي نَفْسَهُ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي بِغَيْرِكَ وَ أَسْقِطْ عَنَّا مَا كَانَ لِغَيْرِكَ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى سِوَاكَ وَ أَغْنِنِي عَنْ كُلِّ مَخْلُوقٍ غَيْرِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O with the Majesty and the Benevolence! O One Who Introduce me to Himself-azwj! Do not pre-occupy me with others and Drop from us what was for others, and do not Allocate me to other than You-azwj, and Make me needless from others, every created being, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[115]
الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي مِنْهَا مَعِيشَتِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مُنْقَلَبِي وَ اجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
There is a supplication in its end – ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this day and every day, and this night and every night! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Rectify my religion which it is a protection for my affairs, and Rectify my world for me from which is my livelihood, and Rectify my Hereafter for me to which is my transfer, and Make the lifespan to be increased for me from every good, and Make the death a comfort for me from every evil!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَازِقَ الْمُقِلِّينَ وَ يَا رَاحِمَ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ وَ يَا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينَ وَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ إِلَهَ النَّبِيِّينَ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي رَحْمَتِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ يَا مَنْ يَكْفِي مِنْ خَلْقِهِ كُلِّهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ أَحَدٌ
O Allah-azwj! O Provider of the needy, and O Mercier of the poor, and O Responder to supplication of the desperate, and O with the Invincible Strength, and O Lord-azwj of the worlds, and God-azwj of the Prophets-as! Admit me into Your-azwj Mercy and Provide me from Your-azwj Grace! O One Sufficing me from His-azwj creatures, all of them altogether, and no one can suffice me from it!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اكْفِنِي أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّهُمَا وَ اقْضِ لِي حَوَائِجِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Suffice me of matters of the world and the Hereafter, and Turn their evil away from me and Fulfil my needs for me and Mercy me, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[116]
اليوم التاسع و العشرون
The twenty-ninth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُخْتَارٌ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ إِخْرَاجِ الدَّمِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمٌ سَعِيدٌ لِسَائِرِ الْأُمُورِ وَ الْحَوَائِجِ وَ الْأَعْمَالِ
Our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a Chosen day, correct for every need, and extracting the blood, and it is a day fortunate for rest of the affairs, and the needs, and the works.
فِيهِ بَارَكَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى الْأَرْضِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ وَ يَصْلُحُ لِلنُّقْلَةِ وَ شِرَاءِ الْعَبِيدِ وَ الْبَهَائِمِ وَ لِقَاءِ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ الْأَصْدِقَاءِ وَ فِعْلِ الْبِرِّ وَ الْحَرَكَةِ وَ يُكْرَهُ فِيهِ الدَّيْنُ وَ السَّلَفُ وَ الْأَيْمَانُ وَ مَنْ سَافَرَ فِيهِ يُصِيبُ مَالًا كَثِيراً إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ كَاتِباً فَإِنَّهُ يُكْرَهُ لَهُ ذَلِكَ
During it Allah-azwj the Exalted Blessed upon the Holy ground, and it is correct for the transfer, and buying the slaves and the animals, and meeting the brothers and the friends, and doing the righteous deeds, and the movement, and the borrowing is disliked in it and the lending, and swearing the oath, and one who travels in it will attain a lot of wealth except one who was a contracted slave, for that is dislike for him!
وَ الرُّؤْيَا فِيهِ صَادِقَةٌ وَ لَا يَقُصَّهَا إِلَّا بَعْدَ يَوْمٍ وَ الْمَرِيضُ فِيهِ يَمُوتُ وَ الْآبِقُ فِيهِ يُوجَدُ وَ لَا تَسْتَحْلِفْ فِيهِ أَحَداً وَ لَا تَأْخُذْ فِيهِ مِنْ أَحَدٍ وَ ادْخُلْ فِيهِ عَلَى السُّلْطَانِ وَ لَا تَضْرِبْ فِيهِ حُرّاً وَ لَا عَبْداً وَ مَنْ ضَلَّتْ لَهُ ضَالَّةٌ وَجَدَهَا
And the dream in it would be true, do not narrate it except after a day, and the one falling sick in it would die, and the absconder in it would be found, and do not make anyone swear an oath in it nor take it from anyone during it, and enter to see the ruler in it, and neither strike a free one nor a slave in it, and one who loses something will find it!’
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ يَبْرَأُ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ صَالِحاً حَلِيماً
And in a report, ‘One who falls sick in it will be cured, and one born in it would be righteous, gentle’.
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى إِنَّهُ مُتَوَسِّطٌ لَا مَحْمُودٌ وَ لَا مَذْمُومٌ تُجْتَنَبُ فِيهِ الْحَرَكَةُ.
And in another report, ‘It is a medium day (neither good nor bad), neither recommended nor condemned. Keep aside from the movement during it’’.[117]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم جيد صالح يحمد فيه النقلة و السفر و الحركة و المولود فيه يكون شجاعا و هو صالح لكل حاجة و لقاء الإخوان و الأصدقاء و الأولاد و فعل الخير و الأحلام فيه تصح في يومها.
And the Persians said it is a good day, correct. The transfer is recommended in it, and the travelling, and the movement, and the new-born in it would be brave, and it is correct for every need, and meeting the brothers, and the friends, and the children, and doing the good, and the dream in it would be proven correct in its very day.
و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه مار إسفند روز اسم الملك الموكل بالأوقات و الأزمان و العقول و الأسماع و الأبصار و في رواية أخرى الموكل بالأفئدة.
And Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj have Mercy upon him-ra, said, ‘Maar Isfandar Rouz’, name of the Angel Allocated with the timings, and the times, and the intellects, and the hearing, and the visions’. And in another report, ‘Allocated with the hearts’.
الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي أَلْقَاكَ بِهِ
The supplication during its beginning – ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this new day and every day, and Lord-azwj of this night and every night! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny‑asws of Muhammad-saww, and rectify for me my religion which I shall meet You-azwj with it!
أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْغِنَى وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْعِزِّ وَ الذُّلِّ
You-azwj are my Lord-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj! In Your-azwj Hand are determinations of the night and the day, and in Your-azwj Hand are determinations of the sun and the moon, and in Your-azwj Hand are determinations of the riches and the poverty, and in Your-azwj Hand are determinations of the honour and the disgrace!
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ فِي جَسَدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Bless for me in my religion and my world and my Hereafter, and in my body, and my family, and my wealth, and Bless for me in entirety of what You-azwj have Provided me and Favoured with upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ ادْرَأْ عَنِّي فَسَقَةَ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً وَ فُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj! Rotate away from me mischief of the Arabs and the non-Arabs, and Provide me vast sustenance, and liberate my neck from the Hellfire!
اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَإِنِّي أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نَحْرِهِ فَخُذْ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ مِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِهِ وَ امْنَعْهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَصِلَ إِلَيَّ بِسُوءٍ أَبَداً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! One from Your-azwj creatures who intends me with evil, so through You-azwj I rotate (evil) back into his throat. Seize from his front, and on his right, and on his left, and from above him, and from beneath him, and Prevent him from arriving to me with evil, for ever, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اسْتُرْنِي مِنْ كُلِ سُوءٍ وَ حُطَّنِي مِنْ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ جَبَّاراً لَا يَرْحَمُنِي- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Cover me from every evil and Spare me from every affliction, and do not let a tyrant to prevail upon me who will not mercy me, You-azwj are Able upon all things, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[118]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ النَّبِيِّينَ- مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2], and the Salawaat and the greetings be upon best of the Prophets-as, the Prophet Muhammad‑saww and his-saww goodly Progeny-asws, the Pure!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ اللَّيْلَ وَ النَّهَارَ بِقُوَّتِهِ وَ مَيَّزَ بَيْنَهُمَا بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ جَعَلَ لِكُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا حَدّاً مَحْدُوداً وَ أَمَداً مَوْقُوتاً مَمْدُوداً يُولِجُ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا فِي صَاحِبِهِ وَ يُولِجُ صَاحِبُهُ فِيهِ بِتَقْدِيرٍ مِنْهُ لِلْعِبَادِ فِيمَا يَغْذُوهُمْ بِهِ وَ يُنْشِئُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ
And the Praise for Allah-azwj Who Created the night and the day with His-azwj Strength and Distinguished between these with His-azwj Power, and Make for each one of these a limited limitation and a timed period of extent. Each one of these permeates into its counterpart and its counterpart permeates into it with a Determination from him for the servant in what He‑azwj Provided them with and Grows them upon!
وَ خَلَقَ لَهُمُ اللَّيْلَ لِيَسْكُنُوا فِيهِ مِنْ حَرَكَاتِ التَّعَبِ وَ بَهَضَاتِ النَّصَبِ وَ جَعَلَهُ لِبَاساً لِيَلْبَسُوا مِنْ رَاحَتِهِ وَ مَنَامِهِ فَيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ لَهُمْ جَمَاماً وَ قُوَّةً وَ لِيَنَالُوا بِهِ لَذَّةً وَ شَهْوَةً
And He-azwj Created the night for them for them to rest in it from the tiring movement, and the burdens of fatigue. He-azwj Made it like a garment so that they may wear its comfort and sleep, and it may provide them with refreshment and strength, allowing them to experience pleasure and desire through it.
وَ خَلَقَ لَهُمُ النَّهَارَ مُبْصِراً لِيَبْتَغُوا مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ لِيَتَسَبَّبُوا إِلَى رِزْقِهِ وَ يَسْرَحُوا فِي أَرْضِهِ طَلَباً لِمَا فِيهِ نَيْلُ الْعَاجِلِ مِنْ دُنْيَاهُمْ وَ دَرَكُ الْآجِلِ فِي أُخْرَاهُمْ بِكُلِّ ذَلِكَ يُصْلِحُ شَأْنَهُمْ وَ يَبْلُو أَخْبَارَهُمْ وَ يَنْظُرُ كَيْفَ هُمْ فِي أَوْقَاتِ طَاعَتِهِ وَ مَنَازِلِ فُرُوضِهِ وَ مَوَاقِعِ أَحْكَامِهِ- لِيَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَساؤُا بِما عَمِلُوا وَ يَجْزِيَ الَّذِينَ أَحْسَنُوا بِالْحُسْنَى-
And He-azwj Created the day for them as a source of light so that they may seek His-azwj bounty, work towards earning their livelihood, and roam His-azwj earth in search of that which fulfils their immediate needs in this world and their ultimate success in the Hereafter. Through all of this, He-azwj sets their affairs in order, Tests their deeds, and Observes how they are in the times of obedience to Him-azwj, the fulfilment of His-azwj obligations, and the application of His‑azwj Judgments for Him to Recompense those committers of evil for what they had done, and (for) Him to Recompense those did good, with the Goodness [53:31]!
اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا فَلَقْتَ لَنَا مِنَ الْإِصْبَاحِ وَ مَتَّعْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ ضَوْءِ النَّهَارِ وَ بَصَّرْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ مَطَالِبِ الْأَقْوَاتِ وَ وَقَيْتَنَا فِيهِ مِنْ طَوَارِقِ الْآفَاتِ أَصْبَحْنَا وَ أَصْبَحَتِ الْأَشْيَاءُ كُلُّهَا لَكَ بِجُمْلَتِهَا سَمَاؤُهَا وَ أَرْضُهَا وَ مَا بَثَّ فِي كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمَا سَاكِنُهُ وَ مُتَحَرِّكُهُ وَ مُقِيمُهُ وَ شَاخِصُهُ وَ مَا عَلَا فِي الْهَوَاءِ وَ بَطَنَ فِي الثَّرَى
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise upon what You-azwj have Split for us from the morning, and Caused us to enjoy with it from illumination of the day, and Caused us to see by it from seeking the subsistence and Saved us in it from the afflictions of the calamities! We have come to a morning and all the things have become for You-azwj! You-azwj Beautified its skies and its earth, and Spread in each one of these, its still and its moving, and its staying and its wandering, and what is high in the air and hidden in the soil!
أَصْبَحْنَا اللَّهُمَّ فِي قَبْضَتِكَ يَحْوِينَا مُلْكُكَ وَ سُلْطَانُكَ وَ تَضُمُّنَا مَشِيَّتُكَ وَ نَتَصَرَّفُ عَنْ أَمْرِكَ وَ نَتَقَلَّبُ فِي تَدْبِيرِكَ لَيْسَ لَنَا مِنَ الْأَمْرِ إِلَّا مَا قَضَيْتَ وَ لَا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلَّا مَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ هَذَا يَوْمٌ حَادِثٌ جَدِيدٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْنَا شَاهِدٌ عَتِيدٌ إِنْ أَحْسَنَّا وَدَّعَنَا بِحَمْدٍ وَ إِنْ أَسَأْنَا فَارَقَنَا بِذَمٍّ

This is a new day, a fresh creation, and it stands as a ready witness over us. If we do well, it will leave us with praise, but if we do wrong, it will part from us with a blame!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْزُقْنَا حُسْنَ مُصَاحَبَتِهِ وَ اعْصِمْنَا مِنْ سُوءِ مُفَارَقَتِهِ بِارْتِكَابِ جَرِيرَةٍ أَوِ اقْتِرَافِ كَبِيرَةٍ أَوْ صَغِيرَةٍ وَ أَجْزِلْ لَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَ أَخْلِنَا فِيهِ مِنَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَ امْلَأْ لَنَا مَا بَيْنَ طَرَفَيْهِ حَمْداً وَ شُكْراً وَ أَجْراً وَ ذُخْراً وَ فَضْلًا وَ إِحْسَاناً

الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ وَ دَانَ لَهَا كُلُّ شَيْءٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَحْبِسُ الْقِسَمَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَهْتِكُ الْعِصَمَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُدِيلُ الْأَعْدَاءَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَقْطَعُ الرَّجَاءَ
The supplication in its end – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, this night and every night, by Your-azwj Mercy which is capacious of all things, and all things stoop to it! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Forgive for me the sins which withhold the distribution, and Forgive for me the sins which violate the Protection, and Forgive for me the sins which lead the enemies, and Forgive for me the sins which cut off the hope!
وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُعَجِّلُ الْعَنَاءَ وَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَكْشِفُ الْغِطَاءَ سَبَقَتْ رَحْمَتُكَ غَضَبَكَ وَ نَفَذَ عِلْمُكَ وَ بَلَغَتْ حُجَّتُكَ وَ لَمْ تُخَيَّبْ سَائِلُكَ إِذَا سَأَلَكَ

اليوم الثلاثون
The thirtieth day
قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع إِنَّهُ يَوْمٌ مُخْتَارٌ جَيِّدٌ يَصْلُحُ لِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ الشِّرَاءِ وَ الْبَيْعِ وَ الزَّرْعِ وَ الْغَرْسِ وَ الْبِنَاءِ وَ التَّزْوِيجِ وَ السَّفَرِ وَ إِخْرَاجِ الدَّمِ.
Our Master Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘It is a Chosen day, good, correct for all things, and the buying and the selling, and the cultivating and the planting, and the building, and the marriage, and the travelling, and extracting the blood!’’[122]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى لَا تُسَافِرْ فِيهِ وَ لَا تَتَعَرَّضْ لِغَيْرِهِ إِلَّا الْمُعَامَلَةَ وَ قَلِّلْ فِيهِ الْحَرَكَةَ وَ السَّفَرُ فِيهِ رَدِيءٌ وَ مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ حَلِيماً مُبَارَكاً وَ يَعْسِرُ تَرْبِيَتُهُ وَ يسيء [يَسُوءُ] خُلُقُهُ وَ يُرْزَقُ رِزْقاً يَكُونُ لِغَيْرِهِ وَ يُمْنَعُ مِنَ التَّمَتُّعِ بِشَيْءٍ مِنْهُ.
And in another report: ‘Neither travel in it nor expose yourself for something else except dealings, and reduce the movement in it, and the travelling in it is bad, and one born in it would be gentle, Blessed, and his upbringing will be difficult, and his manners will be evil, and he would be Graced sustenance being for others, and he would be prevented from enjoying with anything from it’’.[123]
وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ كُفِيَ كُلَّ أَمْرٍ يُؤْذِيهِ وَ يَكُونُ الْمَوْلُودُ فِيهِ مُبَارَكاً صَالِحاً يَرْتَفِعُ أَمْرُهُ وَ يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ وُلِدَ فِيهِ إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع وَ فِيهِ خَلَقَ اللَّهُ الْعَقْلَ وَ أَسْكَنَهُ رُءُوسَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَ مَنْ هَرَبَ فِيهِ أُخِذَ وَ مَنْ ضَلَّتْ عَنْهُ ضَالَّةٌ وَجَدَهَا وَ مَنِ اقْتَرَضَ فِيهِ شَيْئاً رَدَّهُ سَرِيعاً وَ مَنْ مَرِضَ فِيهِ بَرَأَ سَرِيعاً.
And in another report, ‘One born in it would be sufficed for every matter bothering him, and the new-born in it would be Blessed, righteous, and his matter would be raised, and his glory would be high. Ismail Bin Ibrahim-as was born in it, and in it, Allah-azwj Created the intellect and Settled it in the heads of ones from His-azwj servants He-azwj Loved, and one fleeing in it would be seized, and one who loses something in it will find it, and one who borrows something in it would return it quickly, and one falling sick in it would be cured quickly’’.[124]
وَ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع مَنْ وُلِدَ فِيهِ يَكُونُ حَلِيماً مُبَارَكاً صَادِقاً أَمِيناً يَعْلُو شَأْنُهُ وَ مَنْ ضَاعَ لَهُ شَيْءٌ يَجِدُهُ بِإِذْنِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.
And our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘One born in it would be gentle, Blessed, truthful, trustworthy, his glory would be elevated, and one who somethings of his is lost, will find by the Permission of Allah-azwj the Exalted’’.[125]
و قالت الفرس إنه يوم خفيف يحمد فيه سائر الأعمال و التصرفات و يصلح لشرب الأدوية المسهلة. و قال سلمان الفارسي رحمة الله عليه أنيران روز اسم الملك الموكل بالدهور و الأزمنة.
And the Persians said it is a light day, rest (all) of the works are recommended in it, and the dealings, and it is correct for drinking the medication, the laxatives, and Salman Al-Farsi-ra, may Allah-azwj Mercy him-asws, said, ‘Aneyran Rouz’ is a name Allocated with the ages and the times’.
الدُّعَاءُ فِي أَوَّلِهِ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْجَدِيدِ وَ كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ إِلَهَ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ إِلَهَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ- لَا إِلَهَ فِيهِنَّ غَيْرُكَ وَ أَنْتَ إِلَهُ جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ إِسْرَافِيلَ إِلَهُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ رَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً
The supplication during its beginning – ‘O Allah-azwj, Lord-azwj of this new day and every day, and God-azwj of ones in the seven skies and God-azwj of ones in the seven earths!

You-azwj are Capacious of all things in Mercy and Knowledge!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ أَمْثَالِكَ الْعُلْيَا وَ بِكَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ الْمُسْتَجَابَاتِ الْمُبَارَكَاتِ وَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ وَ بِالْمَثَانِي وَ الصُّحُفِ الْأُولَى وَ بِمَا أَحْصَاهُ كِتَابُكَ وَ بِمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِإِحْصَائِهِ وَ بِمَا آلَيْتَ بِهِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ
I Ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most Excellent Names, and Your-azwj Exalted Examples, and by Your-azwj Complete Words, the Answered, the Blessed, and by every Name being for You-azwj in the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan, and with the Doubles (Al-Masaany), and the former Books, and with what Your-azwj Book has enumerated, and with what You-azwj are more Knowing of its enumeration, and with what You-azwj Sworn with upon Yourself-azwj!
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَحْفَظَنِي مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ مِنْ هَمْزِهِمْ وَ خَيْلِهِمْ وَ شُرُورِهِمْ وَ اسْتِفْزَازِهِمْ وَ آفَاتِهِمْ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ عَلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Protect me from the Pelted Satan-la, and from his-la friends, and from their slanders, and their cavalries, and their evils, and their provocations and their plagues, and from evil of every animal You-azwj Seize by its forelock! You-azwj are Able upon all things and are upon the Straight Patch, O most Merciful of the merciful one!’’[126]
وَ يُسْتَحَبُّ أَنْ يُدْعَى فِيهِ أَيْضاً بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ قَائِدِ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ إِمَامِ الْمُتَّقِينَ خَيْرِ وُلْدِ آدَمَ وَ الْمُرْتَقَى بِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ وَ الْمُخَاطَبِ لِرَبِّهِ فِي السَّمَاءِ حِينَ دَنَا فَتَدَلَّى فَكَانَ مِنْ رَبِّهِ كَقَابِ قَوْسَيْنِ أَوْ أَدْنَى
And it is recommended to supplicate during it also with this supplication – ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord-azwj of the worlds, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww last of the Prophets-as, and chief of the Messengers-as, and guide of the resplendent, and leader of the pious, best of the children of Adam-as, and the one ascended with to the sky, and the addressor to his-saww Lord-azwj in the sky when he-saww approached, so came closer and was from his-saww Lord-azwj (distance of) two bows or closer!
اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ تَابَعَهُمْ وَ آمَنَ بِكَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Your-azwj Angels of Proximity, and upon entirety of Your-azwj Prophets-azwj, the Messengers-as, and upon entirety of the ones following them-as and believing in You-azwj up to the Day of Religion (Reckoning)!
اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ وَ بِكَ آمَنْتُ وَ لَكَ أَسْلَمْتُ وَ بِكَ خَاصَمْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ أَصْبَحْتُ عَلَى فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ مِلَّةِ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَنِيفاً مُسْلِماً وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ
O Allah-azwj! By You-azwj (Mercy) I have entered the morning, by You-azwj (Mercy) I spread out, by You-azwj I believe, to You-azwj I have submitted, by You-azwj I dispute, and upon You-azwj I rely, to You-azwj I turn in repentance. I have entered the morning upon the natural disposition of Islam, the word of sincerity, the way of our Prophet Muhammad-saww son of Abdullah-as, and the faith of our father Ibrahim-as, who was upright, a Muslim, and not from the Polytheists!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً دَائِماً لَا يَنْقَطِعُ وَ لَا يَنْفَدُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِفَضْلِهِ دَافِعٌ وَ لَا لِعَطَائِهِ مَانِعٌ وَ لَا كَصُنْعِهِ صُنْعُ صَانِعٍ وَ هُوَ الْجَوَادُ الْوَاسِعُ فَطَرَ أَجْنَاسَ الْبَدَائِعِ وَ أَتْقَنَ بِحِكْمَتِهِ الصَّنَائِعَ-
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, constant Praise not terminating, nor depleting, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj Who there is no repeller of His-azwj Grace nor a prevented of His-azwj award, nor any making like His-azwj Making, and He-azwj is the Generous, the Capacious!

لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ الطَّلَائِعُ وَ لَا يَضِيعُ عِنْدَهُ الْوَدَائِعُ وَ الْمُجْزِي لِكُلِّ صَانِعٍ وَ الرَّازِقُ لِكُلِّ مَانِعٍ وَ رَاحِمُ كُلِّ ضَارِعٍ مُنْزِلُ الْمَنَافِعِ وَ الْكِتَابِ الْجَامِعِ بِالنُّورِ السَّاطِعِ الَّذِي هُوَ لِلدَّعَوَاتِ سَامِعٌ وَ لِلْمَكْرُمَاتِ رَافِعٌ وَ لِلْجَبَابِرَةِ قَامِعٌ
Neither are the noticeable (matters) hidden unto Him-azwj nor are the deposits wasted in His-azwj Presence, and He-azwj is the Rewarder of every worker and the Sustainer of every preventer, and Mercier of every beseecher! He-azwj is Descender of the benefits, and the comprehensive Book with the shining Light, the One-azwj Who is a Listener of the supplications and Elevates the honourable, and Suppressor of the tyrants!
لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُهُ وَ لَا شَيْءَ بَعْدَهُ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ- اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
There is no god apart from Him-azwj and there is nothing after Him-azwj! There isn’t anything like Him-azwj and He-azwj is the Hearing, the Seeing, the Subtle, the Informed, Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَشْهَدُ لَكَ مُقِرّاً بِأَنَّكَ رَبِّي وَ إِلَيْكَ مَرَدِّي ابْتَدَأْتَنِي بِنِعْمَتِكَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَكُونَ شَيْئاً مَذْكُوراً خَلَقْتَنِي وَ أَنَا مِنَ التُّرَابِ وَ أَسْكَنْتَنِي وَ أَنَا مِنَ الْأَصْلَابِ آمِناً لِرَيْبِ الْمَنُونِ وَ اخْتِلَافِ الدَّهْرِ فَلَمْ أَزَلْ ظَاعِناً مِنْ صُلْبٍ إِلَى صُلْبٍ إِلَى رَحِمٍ فِي تَقَادُمِ الْأَيَّامِ الْمَاضِيَةِ وَ الْقُرُونِ الْخَالِيَةِ
O Allah-azwj! I turn to You-azwj and testify to You-azwj, acknowledging that You-azwj are my Lord-azwj and to You-azwj is my return. You-azwj began Blessing me before I was anything worth mentioning. You-azwj Created me while I was from the dust, and You-azwj Kept me safe in the loins of my ancestors, protected from the harms of time and the passing of ages. I remained traveling from one loin to another, to a womb, across the passing days and bygone centuries.
لَمْ تُخْرِجْنِي بِلُطْفِكَ لِي وَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيَّ فِي دَوْلَةِ أَئِمَّةِ الْكُفْرِ الَّذِينَ نَقَضُوا عَهْدَكَ وَ كَذَّبُوا رُسُلَكَ لَكِنَّكَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي رَأْفَةً مِنْكَ وَ تَحَنُّناً عَلَيَّ لِلَّذِي سَبَقَ لِي مِنَ الْهُدَى الَّذِي يَسَّرْتَنِي وَ عَلَيْهِ أَنْشَأْتَنِي مِنْ قَبْلِ ذَلِكَ رَأْفَةً بِي بِجَمِيلِ صُنْعِكَ وَ سَوَابِغِ نِعْمَتِكَ-
You-azwj did not Extract me (from the sulb of my ancestors) in the era of the leaders of Kufr through Your-azwj Kindness and Favour upon me, those who broke Your-azwj Covenant and denied Your-azwj Messengers-as. Instead, You-azwj Extracted me out for the guidance that had been Decreed for me due to Your-azwj Compassion and Mercy upon me, which You-azwj Eased for me and Nurtured me upon. Before all of this, You-azwj had already shown Compassion toward me through Your-azwj beautiful Work and abundant Blessings!
ابْتَدَعْتَ خَلْقِي مِنْ مَنِيٍّ يُمْنَى ثُمَّ أَسْكَنْتَنِي فِي ظُلُمَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ بَيْنَ لَحْمٍ وَ جِلْدٍ وَ دَمٍ لَمْ تُشَهِّرْنِي بِخَلْقِي وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْ لِي شَيْئاً مِنْ أَمْرِي ثُمَّ أَخْرَجْتَنِي إِلَى الدُّنْيَا تَامّاً سَوِيّاً وَ حَفِظْتَنِي فِي الْمَهْدِ طِفْلًا صَبِيّاً وَ رَزَقْتَنِي مِنَ الْغِذَاءِ لَبَناً مَرِيئاً وَ عَطَفْتَ عَلَيَّ قُلُوبَ الْحَوَاضِنِ وَ كَفَّلْتَنِي بِالْأُمَّهَاتِ الرَّحَائِمِ وَ كَلَأْتَنِي مِنْ طَوَارِقِ الْحَدَثَانِ وَ سَلَّمْتَنِي مِنَ الزِّيَادَةِ وَ النُّقْصَانِ فَتَعَالَيْتَ رَبَّنَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
You-azwj Originated my creation from a drop of seed, then Placed me in three layers of darkness – between flesh, skin, and blood. You-azwj did not Expose my creation, nor did You-azwj Give me control over my affairs. Then You-azwj Brought me forth into this world, complete and sound. You-azwj Protected me as an infant in the cradle and Provided for me with nourishing milk. You-azwj Inclined the hearts of caregivers toward me and Entrusted me to compassionate mother (and their likes). You-azwj Safeguarded me from the unforeseen events of life and Preserved me from excess and deficiency! Exalted are You-azwj, our Lord-azwj, O Most Merciful of the merciful ones.
حَتَّى إِذَا اسْتَهْلَلْتُ بِالْكَلَامِ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيَّ بِالْإِنْعَامِ وَ رَبَّيْتَنِي مُتَزَايِداً فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ حَتَّى إِذَا أَكْمَلْتَ فِطْرَتِي وَ اعْتَدَلَتْ قُوَّتِي أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَيَّ حُجَّتَكَ بِأَنْ أَلْهَمْتَنِي مَعْرِفَتَكَ
When I began to speak, You-azwj Completed Your-azwj bounties upon me and Nurtured me, Increasing me year after year. Then, when You-azwj Perfected my nature and Strengthened my faculties. You-azwj made Your-azwj proof binding upon me by Inspiring me Your-azwj recognition!
وَ رَوَّعْتَنِي بِعَجَائِبِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَيْقَظْتَنِي بِمَا ذَرَأْتَ فِي سَمَائِكَ وَ أَرْضِكَ فِي بَدَائِعِ خَلْقِكَ وَ نَبَّهْتَنِي لِشُكْرِكَ وَ ذِكْرِكَ وَ أَوْجَبْتَ طَاعَتَكَ وَ عِبَادَتَكَ وَ فَهَّمْتَنِي مَا جَاءَتْ بِهِ رُسُلُكَ وَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيَّ بِجَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ بِعَوْنِكَ وَ لُطْفِكَ
You-azwj Filled me with awe through the wonders of Your-azwj Mercy and awakened me to the marvels of Your-azwj creation in the skies and the earth. You-azwj Guided me to gratitude and Your-azwj Zikr and Made Your-azwj obedience and worship obligatory upon me. You-azwj Granted me understanding of what Your-azwj Messengers-as had brought, and Blessed me with all of this through Your-azwj Help and Kindness!
ثُمَّ إِذْ خَلَقْتَنِي يَا رَبِّ فِي حُرِّ الثَّرَى لَمْ تَرْضَ لِي يَا إِلَهِي بِنِعْمَةٍ دُونَ أَنْ أَحْيَيْتَنِي وَ رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الْمَعَاشِ وَ صُنُوفِ الرِّيَاشِ بِمَنِّكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ الْقَدِيمِ إِلَيَّ حَتَّى أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيَّ جَمِيعَ النِّعَمِ لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ جَهْلِي وَ جُرْأَتِي عَلَيْكَ أَنْ دَلَلْتَنِي إِلَى مَا يُقَرِّبُنِي مِنْكَ وَ وَفَّقْتَنِي لِمَا يُزْلِفُنِي لَدَيْكَ
Then, when You-azwj Created me, O my Lord-azwj, from the warmth of the earth! You-azwj were not Satisfied, O my God-azwj, with any bounties for me until You-azwj Gave me life and Provided me with various means of sustenance and different forms of livelihood, through Your-azwj immense Grace and eternal Kindness toward me. You-azwj Completed all Your bounties upon me, and despite my ignorance and boldness against You-azwj, nothing prevented You-azwj from guiding me to what brings me closer to You-azwj and granting me success in what draws me nearer to You-azwj!
إِنْ دَعَوْتُكَ أَجَبْتَنِي وَ إِنْ سَأَلْتُكَ أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ إنْ أَطَعْتُكَ شَكَرْتَنِي وَ إِنْ شَكَرْتُكَ زِدْتَنِي وَ إِنْ عَصَيْتُكَ سَتَرْتَنِي كُلُّ ذَلِكَ إِكْمَالًا لِنِعَمِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيَّ
If I call upon You-azwj, You-azwj Answer me. If I ask of You-azwj, You-azwj Give to me. If I obey You-azwj, You-azwj Thank me. If I thank You-azwj, You-azwj increase me, and if I disobey You-azwj, You Covered me. All of this is the completion of Your-azwj bounties upon me and Your-azwj Favours to me!
فَسُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ مِنْ مُبْدِئٍ حَمِيدٍ مَجِيدٍ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ عَظُمَتْ آلَاؤُكَ فَأَيُّ نِعَمِكَ يَا مَوْلَايَ وَ يَا إِلَهِي أُحْصِي عَدَدَهَا أَوْ ذِكْرَهَا أَمْ أَيُّ عَطَائِكَ أَقُومُ بِهَا شُكْراً وَ هِيَ يَا رَبِّ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ أَنْ يُحْصِيَ الْعَادُّونَ أَوْ يَبْلُغَ عِلْماً بِهَا الْحَافِظُونَ ثُمَّ مَا فَرَّقْتَ وَ ذَرَأْتَ عَنِّي مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْغَمِّ وَ الضُّرِّ- وَ الضَّرَّاءِ أَكْثَرُ ما [مِمَّا] ظَهَرَ لِي مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ السَّرَّاءِ
So, Glory be to You-azwj, Glory be to You-azwj, O the Praiseworthy Originator, the Majestic One! Your-azwj Names are Sanctified, and Your-azwj bounties are immense. So, which of Your blessings, O my Master and my God-azwj, can I count or remember? Which of Your-azwj gifts can I give sufficient thanks for? O my Lord-azwj, they are far too many for those, who count, to enumerate, or for those who preserve knowledge, to fully comprehend. Moreover, the troubles, sorrows, and harm that You-azwj have Kept away from me are far greater than the health and joy that have appeared to me!
وَ أَنَا أُشْهِدُكَ يَا إِلَهِي بِحَقِيقَةِ إِيمَانِي وَ عَقْدِ عَزَمَاتِ مَعْرِفَتِي وَ خَالِصِ صَرِيحِ تَوْحِيدِي وَ بَاطِنِ مَكْنُونِ ضَمِيرِي وَ عَلَائِقِ مَجَارِي نُورِ بَصَرِي وَ أَسَارِيرِ صَفْحَةِ جَبِينِي وَ مَا ضُمَّتْ عَلَيْهِ شَفَتَايَ وَ حَرَكَاتُ لَفْظِ لِسَانِي وَ مَسَارِبِ صِمَاخِ سَمْعِي وَ مَنَابِتِ أَضْرَاسِي وَ مَسَاغِ مَطْعَمِي وَ مَشْرَبِي وَ حِمَالَةِ أُمِّ رَأْسِي وَ بُلُوغِ حَبَائِلِ عُنُقِي وَ مَا اشْتَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ تَامُورُ صَدْرِي وَ حَمَلَ حَبَائِلُ وَتِينِي وَ نِيَاطِ حِجَابِ قَلْبِي وَ أَفْلَاذِ حَوَاشِي كَبِدِي وَ مَا حَوَاهُ شَرَاسِيفُ أَضْلَاعِي وَ حِقَافِ مَفَاصِلِي وَ أَطْرَافِ أَنَامِلِي وَ قَبْضِ شَرَاسِيفِ عَوَامِلِي وَ لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ شَعْرِي وَ بَشَرِي وَ عَصَبِي وَ قَصَبِي وَ عِظَامِي وَ مُخِّي وَ عُرُوقِي وَ جَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِي وَ جَوَانِحِي وَ مَا انْتَسَجَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَيَّامَ رَضَاعِي وَ مَا أَقَلَّتِ الْأَرْضُ مِنِّي فِي نَوْمِي وَ يَقَظَتِي وَ سُكُونِي وَ حَرَكَاتِي وَ حَرَكَاتِ رُكُوعِي وَ سُجُودِي
And I bear witness to You-azwj, O my God-azwj, with the truth of my Eman, the firm resolve of my knowledge, the purity of my sincere monotheism, the depths of my innermost being, the channels of the light of my sight, the lines on my forehead, what is enclosed by my lips, the movements of my tongue, the passages of my hearing, the roots of my teeth, the paths of my food and drink, the carrier of my head, the span of my neck’s cords, what my chest contains, what my veins carry, the sinews (strengths) of my heart, the vital parts of my liver, what my ribs enclose, the ridges of my joints, the tips of my fingers, the grasp of my hands, my flesh and blood, my hair and skin, my nerves and veins, my bones and marrow, my veins and arteries, and all my limbs and organs—whether during the days of my infancy or throughout my life while the earth carries me in my sleep and wakefulness, in my stillness and movements, and in my Ruk’u and Sajdah.
لَوْ حَاوَلْتُ وَ اجْتَهَدْتُ مَدَى الْأَعْمَارِ وَ الْأَحْقَافِ لَوْ عُمِّرْتُهَا أَنْ أُؤَدِّيَ بَعْضَ شُكْرِ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْ أَنْعُمِكَ
Even if I were to try, with utmost effort, for as long as the ages and eons (ages) stretched—if I lived for all that time—to fulfil gratitude for just one of Your-azwj countless bounties, I could never do so!
فَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا بِمَنِّكَ الْمُوجَبِ بِهِ عَلَيَّ شُكْراً آنِفاً جَدِيداً أَوْ ثَنَاءً طَارِقاً عَتِيداً أَجَلْ وَ لَوْ حَرَصْتُ أَنَا وَ الْعَادُّونَ مِنْ أَنَامِكَ أَنْ نُحْصِيَ شَيْئاً مِنْ إِنْعَامِكَ سَالِفَةً وَ آنِفَةً مَا حَصَرْنَاهُ عَدَداً وَ لَا أَحْصَيْنَاهُ أَبَداً
And I would not have been able to do so except through Your-azwj Grace, which itself obligates upon me a new form of gratitude and continuous praise. Indeed, even if I, along with all who count among Your-azwj creation, strove to enumerate any portion of Your-azwj past or present bounties, we could never contain them in number nor fully encompass them, ever!
هَيْهَاتَ أَنَّى ذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُخْبِرُ فِي كِتَابِكَ الصَّادِقِ وَ النَّبَإِ الصَّادِقِ- وَ إِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُوها
Far be it! How can that be so and You-azwj are the Informant in Your-azwj Truthful Book and the true news: And if you were to count the Favours of Allah, you would not be (able to) count these. [16:18]!
صَدَقَ كِتَابُكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَ نَبَؤُكَ وَ بَلَّغَتْ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ وَ رُسُلُكَ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ وَحْيِكَ وَ شَرَعْتَ لَهُمْ وَ لَنَا مِنْ دِينِكَ غَيْرَ أَنِّي يَا إِلَهِي بِجَدِّي وَ اجْتِهَادِي وَ جُهْدِي وَ مَبْلَغِ طَاقَتِي وَ وُسْعِي أَقُولُ مُؤْمِناً مُوقِناً
Your-azwj Book speaks the truth, O Allah-azwj, as do Your-azwj Revelations, and Your-azwj Prophets‑as and Messengers-as have conveyed what You-azwj Revealed to them from Your-azwj Inspiration and the laws You-azwj Ordained for them and for us from Your-azwj religion. Yet, I, O my God-azwj, with my utmost effort, diligence, and capacity, saying as a convinced believer!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً فَيَكُونَ مَوْرُوثاً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي مُلْكِهِ فَيُضَادَّهُ فِيمَا ابْتَدَعَ وَ لَا وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ فَيُرْفِدَهُ فِيمَا صَنَعَ
The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who did not Take a son so he would be an inheritor, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him-azwj in His-azwj Kingdom so he would contradict Him-azwj in what He-azwj had Initiated, nor any guardian from the disgrace so he would be back Him-azwj in what He-azwj Does!
سُبْحَانَهُ لَوْ كَانَ فِيهِمَا آلِهَةٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَفَسَدَتَا
Glory be to Him-azwj! Had there been a god except Allah-azwj in these (skies and earth), they would have been spoilt!
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْأَحَدِ الْحَيِّ الصَّمَدِ- لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ
Glory be to Allah-azwj the One, the First, the living, the Non-Hollow He does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]!
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ حَمْداً يَعْدِلُ حَمْدَ مَلَائِكَتِهِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj, a Praise equating praises by His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and His-azwj Prophets-as, the Messengers-as, and may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of the Muhammad-saww the goodly, the Pure!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَ الْمَعُونَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ حُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ قَلْباً خَاشِعاً سَلِيماً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا نَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا لَا نَعْلَمُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and I ask You-azwj for being steadfast in the matters, and to be Assisted upon the rightful Guidance, and I ask You-azwj for thanking upon Your-azwj bounties, and worship You-azwj excellently, and I ask You-azwj for a fearful sound heart, and a truthful tongue, and I ask You-azwj of goodness of what we know and from goodness of what we do not know!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مَا تَعْلَمُ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ إِنَّكَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ وَ سَاتِرُ الْعُيُوبِ وَ كَاشِفُ الضُّرِّ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَ هَمِّ يَعْقُوبَ
And I ask You-azwj of what You-azwj Know, You-azwj are Able upon all things, and You-azwj are Knower of the unseen, and Concealer of the defects, and Remover of the harm from You-azwj and worries of Yaqoub-as!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤْمِنِّي مَكْرَكَ وَ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي رَحْمَتَكَ وَ لَا تَحُلَّ بِي غَضَبَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Do not let me feel safe from Your-azwj Plan nor Remove Your-azwj curtain from me, nor Turn Your-azwj Mercy away from me, nor Unleash Your-azwj Wrath upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ الْأَبْرَارِ الْأَخْيَارِ الْمُتَّقِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the truth, the righteous, the good, the pious by Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي أَخْشَاكَ حَتَّى كَأَنِّي أَرَاكَ وَ أَسْعِدْنِي بِتَقْوَاكَ وَ لَا تُشْقِنِي بِقَصْدِكَ وَ خِرْ لِي فِي قُدْرَتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي رِزْقِكَ حَتَّى لَا أُحِبَّ تَأْخِيرَ مَا قَدَّمْتَ وَ لَا تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ
O Allah-azwj! Make me fear You-azwj as though I see You-azwj, Grant me happiness through Your-azwj piety, and do not let me suffer while seeking You-azwj! Choose what is best for me through Your-azwj Power, and Bless my sustenance so that I do not wish to delay what You-azwj have Brought forward, nor hasten what You-azwj have Delayed!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ غِنَايَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ مَتِّعْنِي بِجَوَارِحِي وَ اجْعَلْ سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِيَ الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّي وَ انْصُرْنِي عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنِي
O Allah-azwj! Make my riches within myself, and the conviction in my heart, and the sincerity in my actions, and the insight in my religion, and the Noor in my sight, and enjoyment in my limbs, and Make my hearing and my sight as the inheritance from me, and Help me upon the ones oppressing me!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْشِفْ كُرْبَتِي وَ اسْتُرْ عَوْرَتِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي وَ اخْسَأْ شَيْطَانِي وَ فُكَّ رِهَانِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي الدَّرَجَةَ الْعُلْيَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj! Relieve my distress, Conceal my faults, Forgive my sins, Drive away Satan-la from me, Free me from my burdens, and Grant me, O my God-azwj, the highest rank in the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا خَلَقْتَنِي فَجَعَلْتَنِي سَمِيعاً بَصِيراً وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا خَلَقْتَنِي فَجَعَلْتَنِي بَشَراً سَوِيّاً رَحْمَةً لِي وَ كُنْتَ عَنْ خَلْقِي غَنِيّاً رَبِّ كَمَا بَدَأْتَنِي فَعَدَلْتَ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise just as You-azwj Created me so You-azwj Make me hearing, seeing, and for You-azwj is the Praise just as You-azwj Created me as a normal mortal as a Mercy for me and You-azwj were Needless from Creating me, Lord-azwj, just as You-azwj had Begun me and were Just!
فِطْرَتِي يَا رَبِّ كَمَا أَنْشَأْتَنِي فَأَحْسَنْتَ صُورَتِي رَبِّ بِمَا أَحْسَنْتَ لِي وَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ عَافِيَتِي يَا رَبِّ بِمَا أَقْدَرْتَنِي وَ رَفَعْتَنِي رَبِّ بِمَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيَّ
You-azwj Natured me O Lord-azwj just as You-azwj had Grown me so were excellent in Shaping me, Lord-azwj, with what You-azwj had Favoured for me and within my self, and Granted me well-being O Lord-azwj with what You-azwj had Enabled me and Elevated me, Lord-azwj with what You-azwj have Favoured with upon me!
فَهَدَيْتَنِي رَبِّ بِمَا آوَيْتَنِي وَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَوْلَيْتَنِي رَبِّ بِمَا أَطْعَمْتَنِي وَ أَسْقَيْتَنِي رَبِّ بِمَا أَغْنَيْتَنِي وَ أَعْزَزْتَنِي رَبِّ بِمَا أَلْبَسْتَنِي مِنْ سَتْرِكَ الْحَلَالِ وَ يَسَّرْتَ لِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ رِزْقِكَ الْكَافِي
You-azwj Guided me Lord-azwj with what You-azwj have Bestowed me, and Granted me from every good, Lord-azwj, with what You-azwj had Fed me and quenched me, Lord-azwj with what You-azwj Enriched me and Honoured me, Lord-azwj with what You-azwj Clothed me from Your-azwj Permissible covering, and Eased for me from You-azwj Grace and Your-azwj sufficient sustenance!
صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى بَوَائِقِ الدَّهْرِ وَ صُرُوفِ الْأَيَّامِ وَ اللَّيَالِي وَ نَجِّنِي مِنْ أَهْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا وَ كَرْبِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ مَا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Assist me upon disasters of the times, and turning of the days and the nights, and Save me from horrors of the world, and distress of the Hereafter, and Suffice me of evil of what the oppressors are doing in the earth!
اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ مَا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ فِي نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ احْرُسْنِي مِنَ الْآفَاتِ فِي سَفَرِي وَ فِي حَضَرِي وَ احْفَظْنِي فِي غَيْبَتِي وَ فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي فَاخْلُفْنِي وَ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي
O Allah-azwj! Suffice of evil of what I fear and I become careful of regarding myself, and my religion, and Guard me from the calamities in my journey and my staying, and Protect my (valuables) in my absence, and regarding my family, and wealth, so Take Care of me, and in what You-azwj have Provided to me!
فَبَارِكْ لِي يَا رَبِّ وَ فِي نَفْسِي فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ النَّاسِ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَسَلِّمْنِي وَ بِذُنُوبِي فَلَا تَفْضَحْنِي وَ بِسَرِيرَتِي فَلَا تُخْزِنِي وَ لِمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ مَعْرُوفِكَ فَلَا تَسْلُبْنِي وَ إِلَى غَيْرِكَ فَلَا تَكِلْنِي-
Bless for me, O Lord-azwj, so that my soul Humiliate me but in eyes of the people Magnify me, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans Keep me safe, and due to my sins do not Expose me, and with my secrets do not Disgrace me, and for what You-azwj have Granted me from Your-azwj Blessings and Your-azwj Acts of Kindness do not Strip me, and do not Allocate me to others!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْبِضْنِي أَرْضَى بِمَا يَكُونُ وَ أَكُونُ عَنِّي وَ أَطْوَعَ مَا أَكُونُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww and Grab my soul with what is going to happen and I would be content and obedient as I can be in front of You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوّاً وَ لَا حَاسِداً
O Allah-azwj! Do not let an enemy gloat with me nor an envier!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ كَمَا اجْتَبَيْتَ آدَمَ وَ تُبْتَ عَلَيْهِ فَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ كَمَا نَجَّيْتَ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ عَبْدَكَ نُوحاً وَ حَمَلْتَهُ فِي سُفُنِ النَّجَاةِ فَنَجِّنَا وَ كَمَا نَجَّيْتَ هُوداً مِنَ الرِّيحِ الْعَقِيمِ فَنَجِّنَا
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and just as You-azwj had Selected Adam-as and Turned to him-as, so Turn to us, and Just as You-azwj had Saved from the drowning Your-azwj servant Noah-as and Carried him-as in the ship of salvation, so Save us, and just as You-azwj had Saved Hud-as from the stormy wind, so Save us!
وَ كَمَا صَرَفْتَ عَنْ يُوسُفَ السُّوءَ وَ الْفَحْشَاءَ فَاصْرِفْ عَنَّا وَ كَمَا كَشَفْتَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ الضُّرَّ وَ الْبَلْوَى فَاكْشِفْ عَنَّا ضُرَّنَا وَ بَلْوَانَا وَ كَمَا نَجَّيْتَ يُونُسَ مِنْ بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ وَ أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنَ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَ اسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ دَعْوَتَهُ وَ نَجَّيْتَهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ فَنَجِّنَا
And just as You-azwj had Turned evil and immorality away from Yunus-as, Turn (it) away from us, and just as You-azwj had Removed the harm and the disaster from Ayoub-as, so Remove our harm away from us and our disasters, and just as You-azwj had Saved Yunus-as from belly of the whale/fish and Extracted him-as from the darkness to the light and Answered his-as supplication for him-as and Rescued him-as from the sadness, so Rescue us!
وَ كَمَا أَعْطَيْتَ مُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ سُؤْلَهُمَا فَأْتِنَا سُؤْلَنَا وَ كَمَا أَيَّدْتَ عِيسَى بْنَ مَرْيَمَ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ فَأَيِّدْنَا بِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى وَ كَمَا غَفَرْتَ لِنَبِيِّنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا
And just as You-azwj had Granted Musa-as and Haroun-as their requests, so Grant us our requests, and just as You-azwj had Aided Isa-as Bin Maryam-as with the Holy Spirit, Aid us with what You-azwj love and are Satisfied with, and just as You-azwj had Forgiven from (the sins of the nation of) our Prophet Muhammad-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww, whatever had preceded from his‑saww (nation’s sins) offences and what was delay, so Forgive our sins for us!
وَ كَمَا أَيَّدْتَ عَبْدَكَ وَ رَسُولَكَ وَ خَاتَمَ رُسُلِكَ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ- بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ وَلَدَيْهِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ فَأَيِّدْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ بِالْخَيْرِ وَ اخْتِمْ لَنَا بِمَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُرِيدُ اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
And just as You-azwj had Aided Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww and last of Your-azwj Messengers-as, Muhammad-saww Bin Abdullah-as, with Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws and his-asws sons‑asws Al-Hassan and Al-Husayn-asws, so Aid us from You-azwj with the goodness and End for us with what You-azwj Desire and Want! Forgive our sins for us, surely, no one forgives the sins except You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا قَدَّمْنَا وَ مَا أَخَّرْنَا وَ مَا أَسْرَرْنَا وَ مَا أَعْلَنَّا وَ مَا أَسْرَفْنَا وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنَّا أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَغْفِرَةً لَا سَخَطَ بَعْدَهَا وَ آتِنا اللَّهُمَ فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ رِضْوَانَكَ وَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj!

بِذَلِكَ الِاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ أَدْعُوكَ لِذَنْبٍ لَا يَغْفِرُهُ غَيْرُكَ وَ لِكَرْبٍ لَا يَكْشِفُهُ غَيْرُكَ وَ لِهَمٍّ لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِزَالَتِهِ غَيْرُكَ وَ لِذُنُوبِيَ الَّتِي بَارَزْتُكَ بِهَا وَ قَلَّ مَعَهَا حَيَائِي عِنْدَكَ بِفِعْلِهَا

فَهَا أَنَا قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ خَاطِئاً مُذْنِباً قَدْ ضَاقَتْ عَلَيَّ الْأَرْضُ بِمَا رَحُبَتْ وَ ضَاقَ عَلَيَّ الْجَبَلُ وَ لَا مَلْجَأَ وَ لَا مَنْجَى إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ
Here I am having come to You-azwj as a wrongdoer, a sinner. The earth is constricted upon me despite its spaciousness, and the mountains are constricted upon me, and there is neither shelter nor rescue except to You-azwj!
فَهَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ قَدْ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ مُذْنِباً خَاطِئاً فَقِيراً مُحْتَاجاً- لَا أَجِدُ لِذَنْبِي غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا لِكَسْرِي جَابِراً سِوَاكَ وَ لَا لِضُرِّي كَاشِفاً غَيْرَكَ
Here I am in front of You-azwj! I have come to morning and evening as a sinner, a wrongdoer, poor, needy. I cannot find for my sins any forgiver apart from You-azwj, and nor any mender for my brokenness apart from You-azwj, nor any remover of my harm apart from You-azwj!
أَقُولُ كَمَا قَالَ يُونُسُ حِينَ سَجَنْتَهُ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ رَجَاءَ أَنْ تَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ وَ تُنْجِيَنِي مِنْ غَمِّ الذُّنُوبِ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
I am saying just as Yunus-as had said when You-azwj Imprisoned him-as in the darkness(es) hoping that You-azwj might Turn to me and Rescue me from sadness of the sins! ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87]!
وَ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ بِاسْمِكَ أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ دُعَائِي وَ تُعْطِيَنِي سُؤْلِي وَ مُنَايَ وَ أَنْ تُعَجِّلَ لِيَ الْفَرَجَ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فِي أَتَمِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ أَعْظَمِ عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَوْسَعِ رِزْقٍ وَ أَفْضَلِ دَعَةٍ مَا لَمْ تَزَلْ تُعَوِّدُنِيهِ
And I ask You-azwj, O my Chief and my Master, by Your-azwj Name to Answer my supplication and Grant me my requests and my wishes, and Hasten the relief for me from Your-azwj Presence in completing bounties, and mighty well-being, and vast sustenance, and best prosperity for as long as You-azwj don’t cease to Repeat it!
اللَّهُمَ وَ تَرْزُقَنِي الشُّكْرَ عَلَى مَا آتَيْتَنِي وَ تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ بَاقِياً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي وَ تَعْفُوَ عَنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ خَطَائِي وَ إِسْرَافِي وَ اجْتِرَامِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي حَتَّى تَصِلَ نَعِيمَ الدُّنْيَا بِنَعِيمِ الْآخِرَةِ
O Allah-azwj, and Grace me the thanking upon what You-azwj have Given me, and Make that to remain for as long as You-azwj Cause me to remain, and Pardon my sins, and my wrongdoings, and my extravagance, and my crimes when You-azwj have Cause me to die until You-azwj Connect bounties of the world with bounties of the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ وَ الشَّرِّ وَ الْخَيْرِ فَبَارِكْ لِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ بَارِكِ اللَّهُمَّ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي
O Allah-azwj! In Your-azwj Hand are determination of the night and the day, and the skies and the earth, and the sun and the moon, and the evil and the good! Bless for me in my religion and my world, and O Allah-azwj, Bless in entirety of my affairs!
اللَّهُمَّ وَعْدُكَ حَقٌّ وَ لِقَاؤُكَ حَقٌّ لَا بُدَّ مِنْهُ وَ لَا مَحِيدَ عَنْهُ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا
O Allah-azwj! Your-azwj Promise is true, and meeting You-azwj is true. There is no escape from it nor any fleeing from it, and Do such and such with me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِرِزْقِي وَ رِزْقِ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا يَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَ أَكْرَمَ مَسْئُولٍ وَ أَوْسَعَ مُعْطٍ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَرْجُوٍّ أَوْسِعْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي وَ رِزْقِ عِيَالِي
O Allah-azwj! You have Guaranteed my sustenance and sustenance of every animal, You-azwj Seize its forelock! O Best of the ones called upon, and the most Benevolent of the ones requested, and most Capacious of the givers, and most superior of the ones hoped to! Expand for me in my sustenance and sustenance of my dependants!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأُمُورِ الْمَحْتُومَةِ وَ فِيمَا تَفْرُقُ بِهِ بَيْنَ الْحَلَالِ وَ الْحَرَامِ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah-azwj! Make among what You-azwj Decree, and Determine from the Ordained matters, and mong what You-azwj Separate with between the Permissible and the Prohibition from the Wise matters during Laylat Al-Qadr from the Decrees which can neither be returned nor replaced, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!
وَ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمْ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمْ الْمَغْفُورِ ذَنْبُهُمْ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ الْمُوَسَّعَةِ أَرْزَاقُهُمْ الصَّحِيحَةِ أَبْدَانُهُمْ الْآمِنِينَ خَوْفَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
And Write me as being from pilgrims of Your-azwj Sacred House, their Hajj accomplished, their striving Appreciated, their sins Forgiven, their evil deeds expiated from them, their sustenance(s) expanded, their bodied healthy, their fears Secured, and Make among what You-azwj Decree and Determine, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!
وَ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِي وَ تَمُدَّ فِي أَجَلِي وَ تَزِيدَ فِي رِزْقِي وَ تُعَافِيَنِي فِي جَسَدِي وَ كُلِّ مَا يُهِمُّنِي مِنْ أَمْرِ دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ عَاجِلِي وَ آجِلِي لِي- وَ لِمَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ يَلْزَمُنِي شَأْنُهُ مِنْ قَرِيبٍ أَوْ بَعِيدٍ إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ رَءُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
And Prolong my lifespan, and Extend in my term, and Increase in my sustenance, and Grant me well-being in my body and all what would make it pleasant for me from matters of my religion and my world and my Hereafter, and my current and my future for me, and for the ones whose matter concerns me and his affair necessitates me, be it from near or far, You-azwj are Generous, Benevolent, Kind, Merciful!
يَا كَائِناً قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ تَنَامُ الْعُيُونُ وَ تَنْكَدِرُ النُّجُومُ وَ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ لَا تَأْخُذُكَ سِنَةٌ وَ لَا نَوْمٌ وَ أَنْتَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ.
O Existing before all things! The eyes sleep and the stars have disappeared, and You-azwj are Living, Eternal! Neither does slumber seize You-azwj nor sleep, and You-azwj are the Subtle, the Informed!’’[128]
الدُّعَاءُ فِي آخِرِهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا غَفُورُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا سَمِيعُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ
The supplication in its end – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Lord-azwj of this night and every night! O Exalted, O Magnificent, O Benevolent, O Forgiving, O Merciful, O Hearing, O All-Knowing, O Living, O Eternal!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى الَّتِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهَا أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهَا أَعْطَيْتَ يَا عَزِيزاً لَا تَسْتَذِلُّ يَا مَنِيعاً لَا تُرَامُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ تُعِيذَنِي مِنْ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ وَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj most excellent Names which when supplicated with, is Answered, and when requested with it, is Granted! O Mighty not to be humiliated! O Invincible not breached! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Liberate my neck from the Fire, and Admit me into the Paradise, and Shelter me from dilemmas of the Fitna and from the Pelted Satan-la!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ ارْحَمْهُمَا كَمَا رَبَّيَانِي صَغِيراً وَ اجْزِهِمَا عَنِّي خَيْراً أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ الْعَلِيَّ الْأَعْلَى الَّذِي لَا يَضِيعُ وَدَائِعُهُ وَ لَا يَخِيبُ سَائِلُهُ دِينِي وَ نَفْسِي وَ خَوَاتِيمُ عَمَلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ أَهْلُ بَيْتِي وَ قَرَابَاتِي

I entrust Allah-azwj the most Exalted Who does not Waste His-azwj entrustments, nor does He-azwj Disappoint His-azwj beggar, (and for) my religion, and myself, and ending of my deeds, and my children, and my family, and my wealth, and people of my household and my relatives!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ أَوَّلًا وَ آخِراً وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بَاطِناً وَ ظَاهِراً وَ احْفَظْنِي فِي كَنَفِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي حِفْظِكَ وَ فِي عِزِّكَ وَ فِي جِوَارِكَ وَ فِي عِنَايَتِكَ وَ اسْتُرْ عَلَيَّ وَ حُطْنِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي وَ اهْدِنِي وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ وَ اكْفِنِي وَ اعْصِمْنِي وَ تَوَلَّنِي وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى غَيْرِكَ وَ لَا تُزِلْ عَنِّي نِعْمَتَكَ وَ لَا سَتْرَكَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww first and last, and Bless upon them-asws esoterically and apparently, and Protect me in Your-azwj Patronage, and Make me in Your-azwj Protection, and in Your-azwj Might, and in Your-azwj Shelter, and in Your-azwj Care, and Cover me and Protect me, and Rectify my affairs for me, and Guide me, and Turn to me, and Suffice me, and Fortify me, and Take charge of me, and do not Allocate me to others, and do not Decline Your-azwj bounties from me nor Your-azwj Cover!
عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ مَا أَعْظَمَ شَأْنَكَ وَ أَعَزَّ بُرْهَانَكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
Mighty is Your-azwj Shelter, and Majestic is Your-azwj Laudation, and there is no god apart from You-azwj! Holy are Your-azwj Names, and Glory be to You-azwj! Glory be to You-azwj! How Magnificent is Your-azwj Glory, and how Mighty is Your-azwj Proof, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اهْدِنِي فِيمَنْ هَدَيْتَ وَ تَوَلَّنِي فِيمَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ وَ قِنِي شَرَّ مَا قَضَيْتَ إِنَّكَ تَقْضِي وَ لَا يُقْضَى عَلَيْكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

You-azwj Decree but cannot be decreed against You-azwj, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, You-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[129]
أقول: هذا آخر ما ألحقناه من النصف الأخير من كتاب العدد القوية مما يناسب ذكره في هذا المقام و الله الهادي إلى دار السلام و ليعلم أن ما أورده في العدد القوية متقارب مما نقله السيد بن طاوس رحمة الله عليه في الدروع الواقية و قد نقلناه أيضا سابقا و الظاهر أنه رضي الله عنه قد أخذه من كتاب الدروع الواقية المشار إليه مع ضم أشياء كثيرة أخرى من الأخبار و الآثار و الأدعية و نحوها أيضا و لمزيد فوائده ذكرناه هنا و إن كان يشتمل على تكرارها.
I say, this is the last part that we have included from the latter half of the book Al-Adad Al-Qawiya that is suitable to be mentioned in this context, and Allah-azwj is the Guide to the abode of peace. It should be known that what has been cited in Al-Adad Al-Qawiya is similar to what Sayyid Ibn Tawoos, may Allah-azwj have Mercy on him, mentioned in Al-Duru Al-Waqiya. We have also previously referred to it, and it appears that he, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with him, took it from the book Al-Durūʿ Al-Wāqiya that was mentioned, while also adding many other reports, traditions, supplications, and the like. Due to its benefits, we have mentioned it here, even though it includes some repetition.
