باب 71 أدعية كل يوم يوم و كل ليلة ليلة من شهر رمضان و سائر أعمالها

CHAPTER 71 – SUPPLICATIONS OF EVERY AND EVERY NIGHT FROM A MONTH OF RAMAZAN AND REST OF ITS ACTS OF WORSHIP

أقول: قد مر ما يناسب هذا الباب في كتاب الطهارة و في أبواب الدعاء فتذكر و مضى أيضا في أبواب الصيام في باب ليلة القدر و ليالي الإحياء كثير من أحوالها و بعض أعمالها فارجع إليه و يأتي و سبق ما يتعلق بهذا الباب في الأبواب السابقة و اللاحقة من هذا الجزء أيضا.

I say, ‘What is relevant to this chapter has already been mentioned in the Book of Purity and in the chapters on supplication, so recall. It has also been discussed in the chapters on Fasting, specifically regarding Laylat Al Qadr and the nights of vigil, with much detail about its conditions and some of its actions, so refer to it. Additionally, what pertains to this chapter has been mentioned in previous and following chapters of this section as well.

أما الليلة الأولى ففيها أعمال كثيرة جدا و قد أوردنا شطرا صالحا منها في باب الدعاء عند دخول شهر رمضان و منها الغسل في هذه الليلة و منها الشروع في تلاوة القرآن و منها.

As for the first night, there are many significant acts to be performed, and we have mentioned a considerable portion of them in the chapter on supplications when entering the month of Ramazan. Among them are performing the ritual bath (ghusl) on this night, beginning the recitation of the Qur’an, and from these.

1- وَ رَأَيْتُ بِخَطِّ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجُبَاعِيِّ ره مَا هَذَا لَفْظُهُ دُعَاءُ الْحَجِّ يُدْعَى بِهِ أَوَّلَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ذَكَرَهُ الشَّيْخُ أَبُو الْفَتْحِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْكَرَاجُكِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ رَوْضَةِ الْعَابِدِينَ الَّذِي صَنَّفَهُ لِوَلَدِهِ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُمَا اللَّهُ‏

And I saw in handwriting of the Sheikh Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Jubaie, what this is its wording, a supplication of the Hajj to be supplicated with in the first night of a month of Ramazan mentioned by the Sheikh Abu Al-Fat’h Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Karajuky in the book ‘Rowza Al-Abideen’ which is authored by his son Musa, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them –

اللَّهُمَّ مِنْكَ أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي وَ مَنْ طَلَبَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ فَإِنِّي لَا أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I seek my needs from You^-azwj, and one who seeks his need to anyone of the people (up to him), but I do not seek my needs except from You^-azwj alone, there is no associate for You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي فِي عَامِي هَذَا إِلَى بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ سَبِيلًا حِجَّةً مَبْرُورَةً مُتَقَبَّلَةً زَاكِيَةً خَالِصَةً لَكَ تُقِرُّ بِهَا عَيْنِي وَ تَرْفَعُ بِهَا دَرَجَتِي وَ تَرْزُقُنِي أَنْ أَغُضَّ بَصَرِي وَ أَنْ أَحْفَظَ فَرْجِي وَ أَنْ أَكُفَّ عَنْ جَمِيعِ مَحَارِمِكَ-

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Grace and Your^-azwj Satisfaction, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, and to Make a way for me in this year to perform Hajj of Your^-azwj Sacred House, accomplished, Accepted, pure, sincerely for You^‑azwj, Delighting my eyes with it, and Raise my ranks with it, and Grace me to close my eyes (from Prohibitions), and to protect my private part, and to refrain from entirety of Your^-azwj Prohibitions!

لَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي شَيْ‏ءٌ آثَرَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ وَ خَشْيَتِكَ وَ الْعَمَلِ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ التَّرْكِ لِمَا كَرِهْتَ وَ نَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْ ذَلِكَ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ أَوْزِعْنِي شُكْرَ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ

There should be nothing in my view more preferable than obeying You^-azwj and fearing You^‑azwj, and the acting with that You^-azwj Love, and the neglecting of what You^-azwj Dislike and have Prohibited from, and Make that to be in Ease from You^-azwj and well-being, and Inspire me to thank for what You^-azwj have Favoured with upon me!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ وَفَاتِي قَتْلًا فِي سَبِيلِكَ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ مَعَ وَلِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمَا

And I ask You^-azwj to Make my death as being killed in Your^-azwj way beneath the flag of Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, along with Your^-azwj Guardian, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon them^-asws!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ بِي أَعْدَاءَكَ وَ أَعْدَاءَ رَسُولِكَ وَ أَنْ تُكْرِمَنِي بِهَوَانِ مَنْ شِئْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَا تُهِنِّي بِكَرَامَةِ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ

And I ask You^-azwj to Kill, by me, Your^-azwj enemies and enemies of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and to Honour me by lowering the ones from Your^-azwj creatures You^-azwj Desire to, and not to Lower me by Honouring anyone from Your^-azwj friends!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِهِ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Make a way to be for me with the Rasool^-saww! Allah^-azwj Suffices me! Whatever Allah^-azwj Desires, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon our chief Muhammad^-saww, His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, Seal of the Prophets^-as and his^-saww Pure Progeny^-asws!’’[1]

أَقُولُ وَ رَوَاهُ السَّيِّدُ ابْنُ طَاوُسٍ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْإِقْبَالِ أَيْضاً عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع لَكِنْ فِيهِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: ادْعُ لِلْحَجِّ فِي لَيَالِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ- اللَّهُمَّ بِكَ وَ مِنْكَ أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي إِلَى قَوْلِهِ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا.

I am saying, ‘And it is reported by the Seyyid Ibn Tawoos, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, in the book ‘Al-Iqbal’ as well, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, but in it he^-asws said: ‘Supplicate for the Hajj during night of a month of Ramazan after Al-Maghrib: ‘O Allah^-azwj, and I seek my needs from You^-azwj’ – up to his^-asws words: ‘A way with the Rasool^-saww!’’[2]

اليوم الأول فيه أيضا أعمال كثيرة و منها صلاة أول كل شهر و دعاؤه و التصدق فيه و سائر أعماله و منها.

The first day in it as well there are a lot of acts of worship, and from these is Salat on the first of every month, and its supplication, and giving the charity in it, and rest of its acts of worship, and from these –

فصل فيما نذكره من الأدعية لكل يوم غير متكررة

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING OF THE SUPPLICATION FOR EVERY DAY WITHOUT REPETITION

قل، إقبال الأعمال فمن ذلك دعاء أول يوم من شهر رمضان من جملة الثلاثين فصلا

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – ‘From that is a supplication of the first day of a month of Ramazan from a total of thirty sections.

اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبِّ أَصْبَحْتُ لَا أَرْجُو غَيْرَكَ وَ لَا أَدْعُو سِوَاكَ وَ لَا أَرْغَبُ إِلَّا إِلَيْكَ وَ لَا أَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَّا عِنْدَكَ وَ لَا أَلُوذُ إِلَّا بِفِنَائِكَ إِذْ لَوْ دَعَوْتُ غَيْرَكَ لَمْ يُجِبْنِي وَ لَوْ رَجَوْتُ غَيْرَكَ لَأَخْلَفَ رَجَائِي وَ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ خَالِقِي وَ بَارِئِي وَ مُصَوِّرِي

‘O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj! I have become not hoping to other, nor supplication to anyone besides You^-azwj, nor desiring except to You^-azwj, nor beseeching except in Your^-azwj Presence, nor seeking refuge except with Your^-azwj courtyard! If I were to supplicate to someone else, he would not answer me, and if I were to hope to someone else, he would break my hopes, and You^-azwj are my Trust, and my Hope, and my Master, and my Creator, and my Maker, and my Former!

نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ‏ تَحْكُمُ فِيَّ كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ- لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ دَفْعَ مَا أَحْذَرُ أَصْبَحْتُ مُرْتَهَناً بِعَمَلِي وَ أَصْبَحَ الْأَمْرُ بِيَدِ غَيْرِي

My forelock is in Your^-azwj Hand! You^-azwj Judge regarding me, however, You^-azwj Desire to! I do not control for myself what I am hoping for, and I am not capable of repelling what I am cautious of! I have become pledged to my deeds, and the matter has come to be in the hand (control) of others!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ وَ كَفَى بِكَ شَهِيداً وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ وَ رُسُلَكَ عَلَى أَنِّي أَتَوَلَّى مَنْ تَوَلَّيْتَهُ وَ أَتَبَرَّأُ مِمَّنْ تَبَرَّأْتَ مِنْهُ وَ أُؤْمِنُ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I have become keeping You^-azwj as Witness and suffice with You^-azwj as a Witness, and I keep as witnesses Your^-azwj Angels, and bearers of Your^-azwj Throne, and Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, and Your^-azwj Rasools^-as, upon that I befriend the ones they befriend, and I disavow from the ones they disavow from, and I believer with what You^-azwj have Revealed unto Your^‑azwj Prophets^-as and Your^-azwj Rasools^-as!

فَافْتَحْ مَسَامِعَ قَلْبِي لِذِكْرِكَ حَتَّى أَتَّبِعَ كِتَابَكَ وَ أُصَدِّقَ رُسُلَكَ وَ أُؤْمِنَ‏ بِوَعْدِكَ وَ أُوفِيَ بِعَهْدِكَ فَإِنَّ أَمْرَ الْقَلْبِ بِيَدِكَ

So Open the hearing of my heart for Your^-azwj Zikr until I follow Your^-azwj Book and ratify Your^-azwj Rasools^‑as, and I believe in Your^-azwj Promise, and I fulfil Your^-azwj Covenant, for matters of the heart are in Your^-azwj Hand (control)!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْقُنُوطِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ الْيَأْسِ مِنْ رَأْفَتِكَ فَأَعِذْنِي مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَ الشِّرْكِ وَ الرَّيْبِ وَ النِّفَاقِ وَ الرِّيَاءِ وَ السُّمْعَةِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي فِي جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ احْفَظْنِي مِنَ الشَّكِّ الَّذِي صَاحِبُهُ يُسْتَهَانُ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the despondency from Your^-azwj Mercy, and the despair from Your^-azwj Kindness, so Shelter me from the doubt, and the Shirk, and the suspicion, and the hypocrisy, and the showing off, and the reputation, and Make me to be in Your^-azwj Shelter which cannot be breached, and Protect me from the doubt which accompanies being despised!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ كُلَّمَا قَصُرَ عَنْهُ اسْتِغْفَارِي مِنْ سُوءٍ لَا يَعْلَمُهُ غَيْرُكَ فَعَافِنِي مِنْهُ وَ اغْفِرْهُ لِي فَإِنَّكَ كَاشِفُ الْغَمِّ مُفَرِّجُ الْهَمِّ رَحْمَانُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمُهُمَا فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّحْمَةِ الَّتِي رَحِمْتَ بِهَا مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ رُسُلَكَ وَ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ

O Allah^-azwj, and every time my seeking Forgiveness from evil is deficient no one else knows apart from You^-azwj, so Pardon me from it and Forgive for me, for You^-azwj are Remover of the sadness, reliever of the worries, Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter, and their Mercier. Confer upon me with the Mercy which You^-azwj have Mercied with Your^-azwj angels and Your^‑azwj Rasool^-saww, and Your^-azwj friends from the believing men and the believing women!

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ مُصِيبَةٍ أَوْ غَمٍّ أَوْ هَمٍّ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ إِخْوَانِي وَ مَعَارِفِي وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنِّي بِسَبِيلٍ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ

O Allah^-azwj! Lord^-azwj of this day of what You^-azwj Sent down from affliction, or difficulty, or sadness, or worries, Turn it away from me and from people of my household, and my children, and my brethren, and my acquaintances, and one who was with me with a way, from the believing men and believing women!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ عَلَى كَلِمَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ فِطْرَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ مِلَّةِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! I have come to be upon the sincere word, and nature of Al-Islam, and nation of Ibrahim^-as and religion of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^‑saww Progeny^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ احْفَظْنِي وَ أَحْيِنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ ابْعَثْنِي يَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ الْخَلَائِقَ فِيهِ وَ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَهُ وَ خَيْرَ أَهْلِهِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ شَرِّ أَهْلِهِ وَ مِنْ سَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ يَدِهِ وَ رِجْلِهِ كُنْ لِي مِنْهُ حَاجِزاً عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Protect me and Cause me to live upon that and die upon it, and Resurrect me on the Day the creatures will be Resurrected in, and Make the beginning of this day of mine to be righteous, and its middle successful, and its end profitable, by Your^-azwj Mercy, for I ask You^‑azwj of its goodness, and goodness of its people, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from its evil and evil of its people, and from his hearing, and his sight, and his hands, and his legs. Be for me a barrier from him. Might is Your^-azwj Shelter, and Majestic is Your^-azwj Laudation, and there is no god apart from You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي مَوَاهِبَ الدُّعَاءِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ فَتْحَهُ وَ نُورَهُ وَ نَصْرَهُ وَ هُدَاهُ وَ رُشْدَهُ وَ بُشْرَاهُ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj to Provide me gifts of the supplication in the end of every Salat, and I ask You^-azwj for goodness of this day of mine, and its victory, and its Noor, and its help, and its guidance, and its rightful way, and its glad tidings!

أَصْبَحْتُ بِاللَّهِ الَّذِي‏ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ مُمْتَنِعاً وَ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ الَّتِي لَا تُرَامُ وَ لَا تُضَامُ مُعْتَصِماً وَ بِسُلْطَانِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُقْهَرُ وَ لَا يُغْلَبُ عَائِذاً مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ ذَرَأَ وَ بَرَأَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يُكَنُ‏ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ يَخْرُجُ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ شَرِّ مَا يَخْرُجُ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ يُكَنُّ بِالنَّهَارِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ ذِي سُلْطَانٍ أَوْ غَيْرِهِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ‏ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏.

I have come to morning be with Allah^-azwj Who, there isn’t anything like Him^-azwj, as my Protector, and by the Might of Allah^-azwj which cannot be breached nor violated, as an adherent, and by the Authority of Allah^-azwj which can neither be coerced nor overcome, seeking refuge from evil of what is created, and scattered, and formed, and from evil of what happens at night and emerges by the day, and evil of what emerges at night and happens at daytime, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, and from evil of every one with authority or others, and from evil of every animal You^-azwj Seize by its forelock. My^-azwj Lord^-azwj is upon the Straight Path!’’[3]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْأَوَّلَ مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ صِيَامِي صِيَامَ الصَّائِمِينَ وَ قِيَامِي قِيَامَ الْقَائِمِينَ وَ نَبِّهْنِي فِيهِ عَنْ نَوْمَةِ الْغَافِلِينَ وَ هَبْ لِي جُرْمِي يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ.

Another supplication during the first day of it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make my Fasting, Fast of the Fasting ones, and my standing, stand of the standing ones, and Alert me from sleep of the heedlessness, and Erase my crimes for me, O God^-azwj of the worlds!’’[4]

و قد قدمنا في عمل الشهر روايتين كل واحدة بثلاثين فصلا لسائر الشهور فادع بدعاء كل يوم منها في يومه فإنه باب سعادة فتح لك فاغتنمه قبل أن تصير من أهل القبور.

And we have presented two reports before regarding acts of worship of the month, each one thirty sections for rest of the months, so supplicate with supplication of every day from it during its day, for it is a fortunate door opened for You^-azwj, so take advantage of it before you come to be among inhabitants of the graves.

فصل فيما نذكره من فضل الاعتكاف في شهر رمضان‏

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM MERITS OF THE SECLUSION (ITIKAAF) DURING A MONTH OF RAMAZAN

اعلم أن الاعتكاف حقيقته عكوف العبد على طاعة الله جل جلاله و مراقبته و تفصيل ذلك مذكور في الكتب المتعلقة بتفصيل الأحكام‏ و جملته و إنما نذكر هاهنا حديثا واحدا بفضل الاعتكاف مطلقا في شهر الصيام لئلا يخلو كتابنا من الإشارة إلى هذه العبادة و ما فيها من سعادة و إنعام‏

Know that the essence of Itikaaf (spiritual seclusion) is the servant’s devotion to the obedience of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and to being mindful of Him^-azwj. The details of this are mentioned in books that elaborate on legal rulings. In summary, we will mention here one Hadeeth regarding the general merits of Itikaaf during the month of Fasting, so that our book is not devoid of a reference to this act of worship and the happiness and bounties it contains.

رَوَيْنَا ذَلِكَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ‏ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْكَافِي وَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ الصِّيَامِ وَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ مِنْ كِتَابِ مَنْ لَا يَحْضُرُهُ الْفَقِيهُ‏ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: اعْتَكَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فِي أَوَّلِ مَا فُرِضَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأُوَلِ وَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوْسَطِ وَ فِي السَّنَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ حَتَّى مَضَى.

We are reporting that from Muhammad Bin Yaqoub, from the book ‘Al-Kafi’, and from Ali Bin Fazzal, from the book ‘Al-Siyaam’, and from Abu Ja’far Bin Babuwayh, from the book ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww performed Itikaaf during the first of what Obligated of a month of Ramazan, during the first ten days, and during the second year during the middle ten, and during the third year in the last ten. He^-saww did not cease doing that until he^-saww passed away’’.[5]

و سنذكر في العشر الأواخر منه فضل الاعتكاف فيه و ما لا غنى لمن يحتاج إليه عنه.

And we shall mention regarding the last ten days from it merits of the Itikaaf in it, and what is inevitable for the one needy to it.

فصل فيما نذكره من أن القرآن أنزل في شهر رمضان‏

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM THAT THE QURAN WAS REVEALED DURING A MONTH OF RAMAZAN

و الحث على‏تلاوته فيه أما نزول القرآن في شهر رمضان فيكفي في البرهان قول الله جل جلاله‏ شَهْرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ‏

And the urging upon reciting it. As for descent of the Quran during a month of Ramazan, it suffices regarding the proof, Words of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, [2:185].

و إنما ورد في الحديث أن نزوله كان في شهر الصيام إلى السماء الدنيا ثم نزل منها إلى النبي ص كما شاء جل جلاله في الأوقات و الأزمان

It is mentioned in the Ahadeeth that the Qur’an was revealed in the month of Fasting to the sky of the world, and then it descended from there to the Prophet^-azwj just as Majestic is His^‑azwj Majesty, so Desires regarding timings and the eras.

و أما الحث على تلاوته فيه فذلك كثير في الأخبار و لكنا نورد حديثا واحدا فيه تنبيها لأهل الاعتبار

As for the urging upon reciting during it, that is a lot in the Ahadeeth, but we shall refer to one Hadeeth regarding it as an alert for the reflecting people.

عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ع قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ أَبِي سَأَلَ جَدَّكَ ع عَنْ خَتْمِ الْقُرْآنِ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ فَقَالَ لَهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

And from Ali Bin Al-Mugheira, from Abu Al-Hassan^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I said to him^‑asws, ‘My father had asked your^-asws grandfather^-asws about completing (recitation of) the Quran during every night. He^-asws said to him: ‘During month of Ramazan’’.

قَالَ افْعَلْ فِيهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ فَكَانَ أَبِي يَخْتِمُهُ أَرْبَعِينَ خَتْمَةً فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ خَتَمْتُهُ بَعْدَ أَبِي فَرُبَّمَا زِدْتُ وَ رُبَّمَا نَقَصْتُ وَ إِنَّمَا يَكُونُ ذَلِكَ عَلَى قَدْرِ فَرَاغِي وَ شُغُلِي وَ نَشَاطِي وَ كَسَلِي

He (the narrator) said: ‘I do in it whatever I am capable of. My father would complete (recitation of) forty completions during a month of Ramazan, then complete it after my^-asws father. Sometimes, I increase and sometimes decrease, and rather that happens in accordance to my free time, and my pre-occupation, and my activeness and my laziness.

فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ جَعَلْتُ لِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص خَتْمَةً وَ لِفَاطِمَةَ ع خَتْمَةً وَ لِلْأَئِمَّةِ ع خَتْمَةً حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَصَيَّرْتُ لَكَ وَاحِدَةً مُنْذُ صِرْتُ فِي هَذِهِ الْحَالِ فَأَيُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لِي بِذَلِكَ

When it would be the day of Al-Fitr (end of Ramazan), I make it for me, a completion for Rasool-Allah^-saww, and a completion for (Syed) Fatima^-asws, and a completion for the Imams^‑asws, until I ended to him^-asws – ‘So I make one for you since I came to be in this situation. So which things is for me due to that?’

قَالَ لَكَ بِذَلِكَ أَنْ تَكُونَ مَعَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

He^-asws said: ‘Due to that, for you will be that you would be with them^-asws on the Day of Qiyamah!’

قُلْتُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ فَلِي بِذَلِكَ

I said, ‘Allah^-azwj is the Greatest! For me, due to that?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ.

He^-asws said: ‘Yes!’ – three times’’.[6]

We are reporting that by our chains to Yunus Bin Abdul Rahman, from Ali Bin Maymoun Al-Saaig Abu Al-Akraad, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, it was from his^-asws supplications whenever he^‑asws too Parchment of the Quran, and the comprehensive before he^-asws read the Quran, and before he^-asws spread it, saying when he^-asws took it in his^-asws right hand –

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ هَذَا كِتَابُكَ الْمُنْزَلُ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ عَلَى رَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ص وَ كِتَابُكَ النَّاطِقُ عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِكَ وَ فِيهِ حُكْمُكَ وَ شَرَائِعُ دِينِكَ أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ عَهْداً مِنْكَ إِلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ حَبْلًا مُتَّصِلًا فِيمَا بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ

‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj! I testify that this is Your^-azwj Book Revealed from Your^-azwj Presence upon Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww Muhammad^-saww Bin Abdullah^-asws, and Your^-azwj Book speaking upon the tongue of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and in it are Your^-azwj Judgments and Laws of Your^-azwj religion! You^-azwj Revealed it upon Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Made it a Covenant from You^-azwj to Your^-azwj creatures, and a rope connecting in what is between You^-azwj and Your^-azwj servants!

And do not Make my^-asws reading, a reading having no pondering in it, but Make me^-asws pondering on its Verses and its Rulings, taking with Laws of Your^-azwj religion, and do not Make my looking into it a heedlessness, nor my^-asws reading it incoherently, surely You^-azwj are the Kind, the Merciful!’’[7]

فصل فيما نذكره مما ينبغي أن يقرأ في مدة الشهر كله‏

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM WHAT IS BEFITTING TO READUING DURING THE PERIOD OF THE MONTH, ALL OF IT

اعلم أنه من بلغ فضل الله عليه إلى أن يكون متصرفا في العبادات المندوبات بأمر يعرفه في سره فيعتمد عليه فإنه يكون مقدار قراءته في شهر رمضان بقدر ذلك البيان و أما من كان متصرفا في القراءة بحسب الأمر الظاهر في الأخبار فإنه بحسب ما يتفق له من التفرغ و الأعذار فإذا لم يكن له عائق عن استمرار القراءة في شهر الصيام فليعمل‏

Know that if someone reaches a level of receiving special Divine Grace such that they are guided in performing recommended acts of worship by an inner knowledge they recognise within themselves and rely on, then the amount of their recitation during Ramazan should be in accordance with that inner guidance. However, if a person is guided in their recitation by the apparent instructions found in the Ahadeeth, then it depends on the free time and circumstances they have. If there is nothing hindering them from continuously reciting during the month of Fasting, then they should do so.

مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ حَفْصٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ فِي كَمْ يَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ قَالَ فِي سِتٍّ فَصَاعِداً

What is reported from Wahb Bin Hafs, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the man, in how much (time) should he read the Quran. He^-asws said: ‘In six (days) or more’.

قُلْتُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

I said, ‘During a month of Ramazan?’

قَالَ فِي ثَلَاثٍ فَصَاعِداً.

He^-asws said: ‘In three (days) or more’’.[8]

وَ رَوَيْتُ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ قُولَوَيْهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا يُعْجِبُنِي أَنْ يُقْرَأَ الْقُرْآنُ فِي أَقَلَّ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ.

And it is reported from Ja’far Bin Qawlawiya by his chain to Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘It does not astound me^-asws if he were to read the Quran in less than the month’’.[9]

و اعلم أن المراد من قراءتك القرآن أن تستحضر في عقلك و قلبك أن الله جل جلاله يقرأ عليك كلامه بلسانك فتستمع مقدس كلامه و تعترف بقدر إنعامه و تستفهم المراد من آدابه و مواعظه و أحكامه.

And know that the purpose of your recitation of the Quran is to bring to your mind and heart the awareness that Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, is Reading His^-azwj Words to you through your tongue. So, listen to His^-azwj Holy Speech, and recognise the worth of His^-azwj Favours, and understand the Intent from His^-azwj Education, and His^-azwj Advice, and His^-azwj Judgments.

فإن قلت لا يقوم ضعف البشرية و الأجزاء الترابية بقدر معرفة حرمة الجلالة الإلهية فليكن أدبك في الاستماع و الانتفاع على قدر أنه لو قرأ عليك بعض ملوك الدنيا كلاما قد نظمه و أراد منك أن تفهم معانيه و تعمل بها و تعظمه فلا ترض لنفسك و أنت مقر بالإسلام أن يكون الله جل جلاله دون مقام ملك في الدنيا يزول ملكه لبعض الأحلام.

If you say that the weakness of human nature and the earthly elements cannot comprehend the full reverence due to the Divine Majesty, then let your etiquette in listening and benefiting (from the Quran) be in proportion to what you would do if one of the kings of this world were to read to you something he had composed, wanting you to understand its meanings and act upon them, while also holding it in high regard. Do not be content, while you profess Islam, to place Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, in a lower position than of a king of this world whose reign can vanish due to mere dreams.

و إن قلت لا أقدر على بلوغ هذه المرتبة الشريفة فلا أقل أن يكون استماعك و انتفاعك بالقراءة المقدسة المنيفة كما لو جاءك كتاب من والدك أو ولدك‏ القريب إليك أو من صديقك العزيز عليك فإنك إن أنزلت الله جل جلاله و كلامه المعظم دون هذه المراتب فقد عرضت نفسك الضعيف لصفقة خاسر أو خائب.

And if you say that you cannot reach this noble rank, then at the very least, let your listening and benefiting from the Sacred and Exalted recitation be as if a letter came to you from your father, your close child, or your dear friend. For if you belittle (God Forbid) Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and His^-azwj Magnificent Words below these ranks, you will have exposed your weak self to a losing or disappointing bargain.

رَوَيْتُهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُتَقَدِّمِ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِ نَشْرِ الْمُصْحَفِ الْكَرِيمِ فَيَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنْ قِرَاءَةِ بَعْضِ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي قَرَأْتُ مَا قَضَيْتَ لِي مِنْ كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَهُ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ رَبَّنَا وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ وَ الْمِنَّةُ عَلَى مَا قَدَّرْتَ وَ وَفَّقْتَ

I am reporting it by the previous chain at mention of spreading the Honourable Parchment, so he should say at being free from reading part of the Magnificent Quran – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have read what You^-azwj had Decreed for me from Your^-azwj Book which You^-azwj had Revealed unto Your^-azwj Prophet Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and Your^-azwj Mercy! For You^-azwj is the Praise, our Lord^-azwj, and for You^-azwj is the thanks, and the Conferment upon what You^-azwj have Determined and Harmonised!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ يُحِلُّ حَلَالَكَ وَ يُحَرِّمُ حَرَامَكَ وَ يَجْتَنِبُ مَعَاصِيَكَ وَ يُؤْمِنُ بِمُحْكَمِهِ وَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ وَ نَاسِخِهِ وَ مَنْسُوخِهِ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لِي شِفَاءً وَ رَحْمَةً وَ حِرْزاً وَ ذُخْراً

O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the one who permits Your^-azwj Permissibles, and prohibits Your^-azwj Prohibitions, and shuns disobedience to You^-azwj, and believes in Your^-azwj Decisive (Verses) and its Allegorical, and its Abrogating and its Abrogated, and Make it for me a healing, and mercy, and protection, and treasure!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ لِي أُنْساً فِي قَبْرِي وَ أُنْساً فِي حَشْرِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي بَرَكَةً بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ قَرَأْتُهَا وَ ارْفَعْ لِي بِكُلِّ حَرْفٍ دَرَسْتُهُ دَرَجَةً فِي أَعْلَى عِلِّيِّينَ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Make it for me a comfort in my grave, and comfort in my Resurrection, and Make for me a Blessing with every Verse I read, and with every letter I learn, a rank for me in the lofty Illiyeen, Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ وَ صَفِيِّكَ وَ نَجِيِّكَ وَ دَلِيلِكَ وَ الدَّاعِي إِلَى سَبِيلِكَ وَ عَلِيٍّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيِّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِ رَسُولِكَ وَ عَلَى أَوْصِيَائِهِمَا الْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ دِينَكَ الْمُسْتَوْدَعِينَ حَقَّكَ وَ الْمُسْتَرْعَيْنَ خَلْقَكَ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ السَّلَامُ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Your^-azwj elite, and Your^-azwj saviour, and Your^-azwj pointer, and the caller to Your^-azwj way, and Ali Amir Al-Momineen^-asws Your^-azwj Guardian, and Your^-azwj Caliph from after Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and upon his^-asws successors^-asws the preservers of Your^-azwj religion, the depositories of Your^-azwj rights, and the carers of Your^-azwj creatures, and upon them^-asws all be the greetings, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[10]

أقول: و ليختم صوم نهاره بنحو ما قدمناه في خاتمة ليله و ذكرنا من أسراره.

I say, ‘Let him conclude his Fast for the day in a manner similar to what we presented at the end of the night, and we have mentioned some of its secrets’.

فصل فيما نذكره من كيفية خروج الصائم من صومه و دخوله في حكم الإفطار.

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM METHOD OF EXIT BY THE FASTING ONE FROM HIS FAST AND HIS ENTERING INTO RULINGS OF THE BREAKING (IFTAAR)

اعلم أن للصائم معاملة كلف باستمرارها قبل صومه و مع صومه فهي مطلوبة منه قبل الإفطار و معه و بعده في الليل و النهار و هي طهارة قلبه مما يكرهه مولاه و استعمال جوارحه فيما يقربه من رضاه فهذا أمر مراد من العبد مدة مقامه في دنياه

Know that the Fasting person has a duty that they are required to maintain both before their Fast and while they are Fasting. This duty is expected of them before breaking their Fast, during the Fast, and after it, at night and during the day. It involves purifying their hearts from what their Lord^-azwj Disapproves of and using their faculties in a manner that draws them closer to His^-azwj Pleasure. This is a matter intended for the servant during their time in his world.

و أما المعاملة المختصة بزيادة شهر رمضان فإن العبد إذا كان مع الله جل جلاله يتصرف بأمره في الصوم و الإفطار في السر و الإعلان فصومه طاعة سعيدة و إفطاره بأمر الله جل جلاله عبادة أيضا جديدة

As for the specific duty related to the month of Ramazan, when the servant is with Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, acting according to His^-azwj Command in both Fasting and breaking the Fast, whether in secrecy or openly, then their Fast becomes a joyful act of obedience, and breaking their Fast by Command of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, also becomes a new act of worship.

فيكون خروجه من الصوم إلى حكم الإفطار خروج متمثل أمر الله جل جلاله و تابع لما يريده من الاختيار متشرفا و متلذذا كيف ارتضاه سلطان الدنيا و الآخرة أن يكون في بابه و متعلقا على خدمته و منسوبا إلى دولته القاهرة و كيف وفقه للقبول منه و سلمه من خطر الإعراض عنه.

Thus, transitioning from Fasting to the state of breaking the Fast symbolises the servant’s adherence to Command of Allah^-azwj, following what He^-azwj Desires, while being honoured and delighted by how the Sovereign of this world and the Hereafter has Chosen them to be at His^‑azwj Door, engaged in His^-azwj service, and associated with His^-azwj Supreme Authority. How fortunate they are to receive acceptance from Him^-azwj and to be protected from the danger of turning away from Him^-azwj!

و إياه و أن يعتقد أنه بدخول وقت الإفطار قد تشمر من حضرة المطالبة بطهارة الأسرار و صلاح الأعمال في الليل و النهار و هو أن يعلم أن الله جل جلاله ما شمره إلا مزيد دوام إحسانه إليه و إقباله بالرحمة عليه

And let him believe that with the entrance of the time for breaking the Fast, he has been called to account for the purity of his inner secrets and the righteousness of his actions during the night and day. He should know that Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, has called him only for the purpose of His^-azwj continuous goodness towards Him^-azwj and His^-azwj Mercy upon him.

و كيف يكون العبد مهونا بإقبال مالك حاضر محسن إليه و يهون من ذلك ما لم يهون أ لم يسمع مولاه يقول‏ وَ ما خَلَقْتُ الْجِنَّ وَ الْإِنْسَ إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُونِ‏.

How can the servant belittle himself when the Lord^-azwj, Who is Present and Benevolent towards him, is drawing near? And it is a trivial matter compared to that which is not trivial. Has he not heard his Lord^-azwj Say, And I have not Created the Jinn and the Humans except to be worshipping Me [51:56].

فصل فيما نذكره من الوقت الذي يستحب فيه الإفطار.

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONG FROM THE TIME WHICH THE IFTAAR IS RECOMMENDED IN

أقول: قد وردت الروايات متناصرة عن الأئمة عليهم أفضل الصلوات أن إفطار الإنسان في شهر رمضان بعد تأدية صلاته أفضل له و أقرب إلى قبول عبادته‏

I am saying, ‘Reports have come in a supportive manner from the Imams^-asws, upon them^-asws be the superior Salawaat, that breaking the Fast by the person during the month of Ramazan is after performing his Salat is better for him and closer to his act of worship being Accepted’.

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ الصَّوْمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يُسْتَحَبُّ لِلصَّائِمِ إِنْ قَوِيَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ.

From that is what we are reporting by our chains to Ali Bin Fazzal from ‘Kitab Al-Soam’, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘It is recommended for the Fasting one, if he is strong upon that, that he prays Salat before he breaks’’.

أقول و أما إن حضره قوم لا يصبرون إلى أن يفطر معهم بعد صلاته و يكونون ممن يقدمون الإفطار فليفطر معهم رضا لله جل جلاله و تعظيما لمراسمه و تماما لعبادته و مراد ذلك لمالك حياته و مماته فليقدم الإفطار معهم على هذه النية محافظا به على تعظيم الجلالة الإلهية

I say, if he is in the presence of people who cannot wait to break their Fast with him after his Salat and are those who prioritise breaking the Fast, then let him break his Fast with them out of reverence for Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, to honour His^-azwj rites, and to complete his worship. The intention should be for the Master of his life and death. Thus, he should prioritise breaking his Fast with them with this intention, while maintaining the respect for the Divine Majesty.

و إن كان القوم الذين حضروه يشغله إفطاره معهم عن مالكه و يفرق بينه و بين ما يريد من شريف مسالكه فيرضيهم بالإكرام في الطعام و يعتذر إليهم في المشاركة لهم في الإفطار ببعض الأعذار التي يكون فيها مراقبا للمطلع على الأسرار و إن كان الحاضرون ممن يخافهم إن‏ لم يفطر معهم قبل الصلوات و كانت التقية لهم رضا لمالك الأحياء و الأموات فليعمل ما يكون فيه رضاه و لا يغالط نفسه و لا يتأول لأجل طاعة شيطانه و هواه.

Even if the people who are present distract him from his Master with their breaking of the fast, and this action separates him from what he desires of noble paths, he should still please them by honouring them with food and make excuses for participating in the iftar, being mindful of the One who observes the secrets. If the attendees are those he fears, and if breaking the Fast with them before the Salat serves as a precaution for him, which is pleasing to the Master of the living and the dead, then he should act in a way that brings about His^-azwj Pleasure and should not deceive himself or justify his actions out of obedience to his own desires and whims.

فصل‏ فيما نذكره من الوقت الذي يجوز فيه الإفطار

SECTION WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING OF THE TIME IN WHICH THE IFTAAR IS ALLOWED

اعلم أنه إذا دخل وقت صلاة المغرب على اليقين فقد جاز إفطار الصائمين ما لم يشغل الإفطار عما هو أهم منه من عبادات رب العالمين فإن اجتمعت مراسم الله جل جلاله على العبد عند دخول وقت العشاء فليبدأ بالأهم فالأهم متابعة لمالك الأشياء و لئلا يكون المملوك متصرفا في ملك مالكه بغير رضاه فكأنه يكون قد غصب الوقت و ما يعمله فيه من يد صاحبه و تصرف فيما لم يعطه إياه فإياه أن يهون بهذا و أمثاله ثم إياه.

Know that when the time for Al-Maghrib Salat enters with certainty, it is permissible for the Fasting person to break their Fast, as long as breaking the Fast does not distract them from more important acts of worship of Lord^-azwj of the worlds. If the rites of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, come upon the servant at the time of Al-Isha Salat, then he should prioritise the most important act first, following the Master of all things, so that the servant does not act in a manner contrary to the Desire of their Master. It would be as if they have usurped the time and the actions performed within it from their rightful owner and engaged in something that was not given to them. Beware of belittling this and similar matters, and above all, beware of that.

فصل فيما نذكره من آداب أو دعاء و قراءة يعملها و يقولها قبل الإفطار

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING OF ETTIQUETTES, OR SUPPLICATION, AND READING TO BE DONE AND SAID BEFORE THE IFTAAR

فَمِنَ الْآدَابِ عِنْدَ الطَّعَامِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْفَضْلِ الطَّبْرِسِيِّ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْآدَابِ الدِّينِيَّةِ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ مِنْ جَدِّنَا الْحَسَنِ السِّبْطِ الْمُمْتَحَنِ بِمُقَاسَاةِ الدَّوْلَةِ الْأُمَوِيَّةِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَى رُوحِهِ الْعَظِيمَةِ الْعَلِيَّةِ

From the etiquettes at the meal is what we are reporting with our chains to Abu Ali Al-Fazl Bin Al-Hassan Bin Al-Fazl Al-Tabarsee from the book ‘Al-Adaab Al-Diniya’, among what is reported from our grandfather Al-Hassan Al-Sibr Al-Mumtahani the tested by the cruelty of the Umayyid government, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon his soul, the magnificent, the exalted.

فَقَالَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع‏ فِي الْمَائِدَةِ اثْنَتَا عَشْرَةَ خَصْلَةً يَجِبُ عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ أَنْ يَعْرِفَهَا أَرْبَعٌ مِنْهَا فَرْضٌ وَ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْهَا سُنَّةٌ وَ أَرْبَعٌ مِنْهَا تَأْدِيبٌ

He said, ‘Al-Hassan^-asws Bin Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws said: ‘Regarding the meal there are twelve characteristics obligating upon every Momin to know these. Four of these are obligatory, four of these are a Sunnah, and four of these are etiquettes.

فَأَمَّا الْفَرْضُ فَالْمَعْرِفَةُ وَ الرِّضَا وَ التَّسْمِيَةُ وَ الشُّكْرُ

As for the four obligated – the recognition, and the satisfaction, and the naming (Bismillah), and the thanking.

وَ أَمَّا السُّنَّةُ فَالْوُضُوءُ قَبْلَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الْجُلُوسُ عَلَى الْجَانِبِ الْأَيْسَرِ وَ الْأَكْلُ بِثَلَاثِ أَصَابِعَ وَ لَعْقُ الْأَصَابِعِ

As for the Sunnah – the Wud’u before the meal, and the sitting upon the left side, and with the three fingers, and licking the fingers.

وَ أَمَّا التَّأْدِيبُ فَالْأَكْلُ مِمَّا يَلِيكَ وَ تَصْغِيرُ اللُّقْمَةِ وَ الْمَضْغُ الشَّدِيدُ وَ قِلَّةُ النَّظَرِ فِي وُجُوهِ النَّاسِ.

And as for the etiquettes – the eating from what is in front of you, and having small morsels, and the intense chewing, and scarcely looking into faces of the people!’’[11]

أقول: و من آداب شرب الذي يريد الشراب و أكل الطعام أن يستحضر المنة لله جل جلاله عليه كيف أكرمه أو أزاحه عن استخدامه في كل ما احتاج إلى الطعام و الشراب إليه مذ يوم خلق ذلك إلى حين يتقدم بين يديه

I say, ‘Among the etiquettes for the one who wants to drink and eat is to be mindful of the Grace of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and how He^-azwj has Honoured him by Relieving him from having to exert himself in all that is needed for food and drink from the day He^-azwj Created that until when it is placed before him.

فإنه جل جلاله استخدم فيما يحتاج الإنسان إليه الملائكة الموكلين بتدبير الأفلاك و الأرضين و الأنبياء و الأوصياء و نوابهم الموكلين بتدبير مصالح الآدميين و الملوك و السلاطين و نوابهم و جنودهم الذين يحفظون بيضة الإسلام حتى يتهيأ الوصول إلى الطعام و استخدام كل من تعب في طعامه من أكار و نجار و حدادين و حطابين و خبازين و طباخين و من يقصر عن حصرهم بيان الأقلام و لسان حال الأفهام

For Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, has employed, for the needs of humans, the Angels responsible for managing the skies and the earth, as well as the Prophets^-as, their^-as successors^‑as, and their deputies who are responsible for managing the affairs of humanity, and the kings, rulers, their deputies, and soldiers who protect the essence of Islam so that access to food is made possible, as well as all those who labour in the production of food, such as farmers, carpenters, blacksmiths, woodcutters, bakers, cooks, and many others whose efforts cannot be fully captured by the pens of writers or comprehended by the minds of the learned.

و كيف يحسن من عبد يريحه سيده من جميع هذا التعب و العناء و يحمل إليه طعامه و هو مستريح من هذا الشقاء فلا يرى له في ذلك منة كبيرة و لا صغيرة أ فما يكون كأنه ميت العقل و القلب أعمى عن نظر هذه النعم الكثيرة.

How could it be that a servant, whose master spares him from all this toil and hardship, bringing him his food while he remains in comfort and free from suffering, does not see this as a significant or even small Favour? Would he not be like one whose mind and heart are dead, blind to recognising these many bounties?’

وَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ أَكْلِ الطَّعَامِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الطَّبْرِسِيِّ عَمَّنْ رَوَاهُ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِمْ أَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ وَ السَّلَامِ قَالَ: يَقُولُ عِنْدَ تَنَاوُلِ الطَّعَامِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُطْعِمُ وَ لَا يُطْعَمُ وَ يُجِيرُ وَ لَا يُجَارُ عَلَيْهِ وَ يَسْتَغْنِي وَ يُفْتَقَرُ إِلَيْهِ

And from the supplication at eating the meal is what we are reporting by our chain to Al-Tabarsee, from the one who reported it from the Imams^-asws, upon them^-asws be the superior Salawaat and the greetings. He^-asws said: ‘He should say at taking the food, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Feeds and is not fed, and He^-azwj Shelters and is not sheltered, and He^-azwj is Needless and (everyone) is need to Him^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا رَزَقْتَنِي مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الْإِدَامِ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ مِنِّي وَ مَشَقَّةٍ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise upon what You^-azwj have Provided me from the food and sauce in ease from You^-azwj, and well-being from without any toil and hardship from me.

بِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَيْرِ الْأَسْمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ‏

In the Name of Allah^-azwj, Best of the Names! In the Name of Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the earth and the sky! In the Name of Allah^-azwj Who nothing harms with His^-azwj Name (Naming), neither in the earth nor in the sky, and He^-azwj is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing!

اللَّهُمَّ أَسْعِدْنِي مِنْ مَطْعَمِي هَذَا بِخَيْرِهِ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ شَرِّهِ وَ أَمْتِعْنِي بِنَفْعِهِ وَ سَلِّمْنِي مِنْ ضَرِّهِ.

O Allah^-azwj! Make me happy from this meal of mine with its goodness, and Refuge me from its evil, and Cause me to enjoy with its benefits, and Keep me safe from its harm!’’[12]

وَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ الْمُخْتَصِّ بِالْإِفْطَارِ فِي شَهْرِ الصِّيَامِ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع‏ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص قَالَ لِأَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ هَذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَدْ أَقْبَلَ فَاجْعَلْ دُعَاءَكَ قَبْلَ فُطُورِكَ فَإِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع جَاءَنِي

And from the supplication, the specific with the Iftaar during the month of Fasting is what we are reporting by our chain to Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, who said, ‘Al Sadiq^-asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said to Amir Al-Momineen^-asws: ‘O Abu Al-Hassan^-asws! This month of Ramazan has come, so make your^-asws supplications before Your^-azwj Iftaar, for Jibraeel^-as came to me^-saww.

فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَنْ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى دُعَاءَهُ وَ قَبِلَ صَوْمَهُ وَ صَلَاتَهُ وَ اسْتَجَابَ لَهُ عَشْرَ دَعَوَاتٍ وَ غَفَرَ لَهُ ذَنْبَهُ وَ فَرَّجَ هَمَّهُ وَ نَفَّسَ كُرْبَتَهُ وَ قَضَى حَوَائِجَهُ وَ أَنْجَحَ طَلِبَتَهُ وَ رَفَعَ عَمَلَهُ مَعَ أَعْمَالِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ وَجْهُهُ أَضْوَأُ مِنَ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ

He^-as said: ‘O Muhammad^-saww! One who supplicates with this supplication during a month of Ramazan before he breaks, Allah^-azwj the Exalted will Answer his supplication, and Accept his Fast and his Salat, and Answer twelve supplications for him, and Forgive his sins for him, and Relieve his worries, and Remove his distress, and Fulfil his needs, and Make his search successful, and Raise his deeds with deeds of the Prophets^-as and the truthful, and he will come on the Day of Qiyamah and his face will be more illuminating than the moon on the night of the full moon!’

فَقُلْتُ مَا هُوَ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ

I^-saww said: ‘What is it, O Jibraeel^-as?’

فَقَالَ قُلِ- اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ النُّورِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ رَبَّ الْكُرْسِيِّ الرَّفِيعِ وَ رَبَّ الْبَحْرِ الْمَسْجُورِ وَ رَبَّ الشَّفْعِ الْكَبِيرِ وَ النُّورِ الْعَزِيزِ وَ رَبَّ التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ الْعَظِيمِ

He^-as said: ‘Say: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Noor, and Lord^-azwj of the lofty Chair, and Lord^-azwj of the turbulent sea, and Lord^-azwj of the great intercession and the Mighty Noor, and Lord^-azwj of the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Magnificent Quran!

أَنْتَ إِلَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ إِلَهُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ- لَا إِلَهَ فِيهِمَا غَيْرُكَ وَ أَنْتَ مَلِكُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَلِكُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ لَا مَلِكَ فِيهِمَا غَيْرُكَ

You^-azwj are God^-azwj of the ones in the skies, and God^-azwj of ones in the earth! There is no god in these apart from You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the King of ones in the skies and King of ones in the earth. There is no king in these apart from You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْكَبِيرِ وَ نُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْمُنِيرِ وَ بِمُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيمِ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Great Name, and Noor of Your^-azwj Radiant Face, and by Your^-azwj Ancient Kingdom! O Living, O Eternal! O Living, O Eternal! O Living, O Eternal!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَ بِهِ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي صَلَحَ بِهِ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ بِهِ يَصْلُحُ الْآخِرُونَ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name by which all things shine, and by Your^-azwj Name by which the skies and the earth shine, and by Your^-azwj Name by which former ones were rectified with and the latter ones were rectified with!

يَا حَيُّ قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَ يَا حَيُّ بَعْدَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَ يَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ أَمْرِي يُسْراً وَ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ ثَبِّتْنِي عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى سُنَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

O Living before all living beings, and O Living after all living beings, and O Living! There is no god except You^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^‑saww, and Forgive my sins for me, and Make ease for me in my affairs, and a near relief, and Affirm me upon the religion of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^‑saww, and upon Sunnah of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings!

وَ اجْعَلْ عَمَلِي فِي الْمَرْفُوعِ الْمُتَقَبَّلِ وَ هَبْ لِي كَمَا وَهَبْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ فَإِنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ بِكَ وَ مُتَوَكِّلٌ عَلَيْكَ مُنِيبٌ إِلَيْكَ مَعَ مَصِيرِي إِلَيْكَ وَ تَجْمَعُ لِي وَ لِأَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِيَ الْخَيْرَ كُلَّهُ وَ تَصْرِفُ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِيَ الشَّرَّ كُلَّهُ

And Make my deeds to be among the raised, the Accepted, and Gift to me just as You^-azwj have Gifted Your^-azwj friends and people obedient to You^-azwj, for I am a believer in You^-azwj and am relying upon You^-azwj, penitent to You^-azwj with my destination to You^-azwj, and Gather for me and for my family and my children the good, all of it, and Turn away from me, and from my children and my family, the evil, all of it!

أَنْتَ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ تُعْطِي الْخَيْرَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَ تَصْرِفُهُ عَمَّنْ تَشَاءُ فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

You^-azwj are the Affectionate, the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth! You^-azwj Give the good to the one You^-azwj Desire to, and You^-azwj Turn it away from the one You^-azwj Desire to, so Confer upon me by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[13]

وَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَصُومُ فَيَقُولُ عِنْدَ إِفْطَارِهِ- يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ اغْفِرْ لِيَ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ إِلَّا الْعَظِيمُ- إِلَّا خَرَجَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ كَيَوْمَ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ.

And from the supplication at the Iftaar is what we found in the books of our companions, from the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww said: ‘There is none from a servant who Fasts so he says at his Iftaar, ‘O Mighty, O Mighty, You^-azwj are my God^-azwj! There is no god apart for You^-azwj! Forgive the mighty sins for me, surely no one forgives the mighty sins except the Mighty’, except he will exit from his sins like the day his mother had given him birth’’.[14]

وَ أَمَّا الْقِرَاءَةُ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ فَإِنَّنَا رَوَيْنَاهَا وَ وَجَدْنَاهَا مَرْوِيَّةً عَنْ مَوْلَانَا زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ‏ عِنْدَ فُطُورِهِ وَ عِنْدَ سُحُورِهِ كَانَ فِيمَا بَيْنَهُمَا كَالْمُتَشَحِّطِ بِدَمِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى.

And as for the recitation at the Iftaar, we are reporting it and we found it reported from our Master Zain Al-Abideen^-asws having said: ‘One who recites Surah Al Qadr at his Iftaar and at his pre-dawn meal would be, during what is between the two, like the one rolling in his blood in the way of Allah^-azwj the Exalted’’.[15]

فصل فيما نذكره مما يستحب أن يفطر عليه‏

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM WHAT IS RECOMMENDED TO BREAK (FAST) UPON

اعلم أننا قد ذكرنا فيما تقدم من هذا الكتاب كيفية الاستظهار في الطعام و الشراب و نزيد هاهنا بأن نقول ينبغي أن يكون الطعام و الشراب الذي يفطر عليه مع الطهارة من الحرام و الشبهات قد تنزهت طرق تهيئته لمن يفطر عليه‏ من أن يكون قد اشتغل به من هيأه عن عبادة الله جل جلاله و هو أهم منه

Know that we have previously mentioned in this book the way to be mindful in eating and drinking. Here, we add by saying that the food and drink one breaks their Fast with should be pure from anything forbidden or doubtful. The means of preparing it should also be free from any involvement in distracting the person preparing it from the worship of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, as worship is more important.

فربما يصير ذلك شبهة في الطعام و الشراب لكونه عمل في وقت كان الله جل جلاله كارها للعمل فيه و معرضا عنه و حسبك في سقم طعام أو شراب أن يكون صاحبه رب الأرباب كارها لتهيئته على تلك الوجوه و الأسباب فما يؤمن المستعمل له أن يكون سقما في القلوب و الأجسام و الألباب.

It may become a source of doubt in the food and drink if it was prepared during a time when Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, was Displeased with the work being done and turned away from it. It is sufficient as a flaw in the food or drink that the Lord^-azwj of all the lords is Displeased with the manner and causes of its preparation. What guarantees are there for the one consuming it that it will not cause sickness in the heart, body, or mind?

أقول و أما تعيين ما يفطر عليه من طريق الأخبار فقد رويناه بعدة أسانيد.

I say, ‘As for specifying what one should break their Fast with according to the narrations, we have transmitted it through multiple chains of transmission.

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْفَقِيهِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ التَّمِيمِيِ‏ الْكُوفِيِّ مِنْ كِتَابِ الصِّيَامِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُفْطِرُ عَلَى الْأَسْوَدَيْنِ

From that is what we are reporting with our chains to the jurist Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Fazzal Al-Tameemy Al-Kufi, from ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, by his chain to Jabir, from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww used to break Fast upon ‘Al-Aswadeyn’ (the two blacks)!’

قُلْتُ رَحِمَكَ اللَّهُ وَ مَا الأسودين- [الْأَسْوَدَانِ‏]

I said, ‘May Allah^-azwj Mercy you^-asws, and what are the two blacks?’

قَالَ التَّمْرُ وَ الْمَاءُ وَ الرُّطَبُ وَ الْمَاءُ.

He^-asws said: ‘The ripe dates and water, and the fresh dates and water’’.[16]

وَ رَأَيْتُ فِي حَدِيثٍ مِنْ غَيْرِ كِتَابِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَفْطَرَ عَلَى تَمْرٍ حَلَالٍ زِيدَ فِي صَلَاتِهِ أَرْبَعُمِائَةِ صَلَاةٍ.

And I saw in a Hadeeth from another book of Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Fazal, from the Prophet^‑saww, he^-saww said: ‘One who breaks Fast upon the Permissible dates, will have an increase in his Salat of forty Salat(s)!’’[17]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ أَيْضاً بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ الصِّيَامِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى غِيَاثِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ‏ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع كَانَ يَسْتَحِبُّ أَنْ يُفْطِرَ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ.

And from that is what we are reporting as well by our chain to Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Fazal, from ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, by his chain to Giyas Bin Ibrahim, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws: ‘Ali^-asws had recommended that one should break Fast upon the milk’’.[18]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي جَعْفَرِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: الْإِفْطَارُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ يَغْسِلُ ذُنُوبَ الْقُلُوبِ.

And from that is what we are reporting by our chain to Abu Ja’far Bin Babuwayh by his chain to Al-Sadiq^-asws, he^-asws said: ‘The Iftaar upon the water washed sins of the hearts’’.[19]

أقول: و لعل هذه المقاصد من الأبرار في الإفطار كانت لحال يخصهم أو لامتثال أمر يتعلق بهم من التطلع على الأسرار و كلما كان الذي يفطر الإنسان عليه أبعد من الشبهات و أقرب إلى المراقبات كان أفضل أن يفطر به و يجعله مطية ينهض بها في الطاعات و كسوة لجسده يقف بها بين يدي سيده‏.

I say, ‘Perhaps these intentions of the righteous in breaking their Fast were due to a specific condition that applied to them or for fulfilling a command related to their insight into spiritual secrets. The further the food one breaks their fast with is from doubtful matters and the closer it is to spiritual mindfulness, the better it is to break the fast with. This allows it to become a means of supporting oneself in acts of worship and a covering for the body with which one stands before their Master’.

فصل فيما نذكره من دعاء أنشأناه نذكره عند تناول الطعام‏

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM A SUPPLICATION WE COMPOSED AT TAKING THE FOOD

نرجو به تطهيره‏ من الشبهات و الحرام هذا الدعاء

We hope by it you will purify it from the suspicions and the Prohibitions. This is the supplication: –

اللهم إني أسألك بالرحمة التي سبقت غضبك و بالرحمة التي ذكرتني بها و لم أك شيئا مذكورا و بالرحمة التي أنشأتني و ربيتني صغيرا و كبيرا و بالرحمة التي نقلتني بها من ظهور الآباء إلى بطون الأمهات من لدن آدم ع إلى آخر الغايات

‘O Allah^-azwj, I ask You^-azwj by the Mercy that precedes Your^-azwj Wrath, by the Mercy through which You^-azwj Reminded me when I was nothing worthy of mention, by the Mercy with which You^-azwj Created me and nurtured me both young and old, by the Mercy through which You^-azwj Transferred me from the loins of fathers to the wombs of mothers, from Adam^-as until the final destinies!

And You^-azwj Provided sustenance, clothing, and necessities for the fathers and mothers, and Protected them from the calamities and disasters that befell the perished nations. I also ask You^-azwj by the Mercy with which You^-azwj Honoured me by making me obedient to You^-azwj and Drawing me closer to You^-azwj, by the Mercy with which You^-azwj Made me from the Progeny^‑asws of the most honoured of Your^-azwj Prophets^-saww to You^-azwj!

و أقمت للآباء و الأمهات بالأقوات و الكسوات و المهمات و وقيتهم مما جرى على الأمم الهالكة من النكبات و الآفات و بالرحمة التي شرفتني بها بطاعتك و التقرب إليك و بالرحمة التي جعلتني بها من ذرية أعز الأنبياء عليك و بالرحمة التي حلمت بها عني عند سوء أدبي بين يديك و بالمراحم و المكارم التي أنت أعلم بتفصيلها و قبولها و تكميلها و بما أنت أهله أن تصلي على محمد و آل محمد و أن تطهرنا من الذنوب و العيوب بالعافية منها و العفو عنها حتى نصلح للتشريف بمجالستك و الجلوس على مائدة ضيافتك

By the Mercy with which You^-azwj Showed patience with me despite my ill manners in Your^-azwj Presence, and by the Mercies and Favours that You^-azwj  Know best in their details, acceptance, and completion, and by Your^-azwj Worthiness, that You^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and the Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-azwj, and that You^-azwj Purify us from sins and faults by granting us health from them and Pardon for them, so that we may be suitable for the honour of sitting with You^-azwj and taking a seat at the table of Your^-azwj hospitality.

و أن تطهر طعامنا هذا و شرابنا و كل ما نتقلب فيه من فوائد رحمتك من الأدناس و الأرجاس و حقوق الناس و من الحرامات و الشبهات و أن تصانع عنه أصحابه من الأحياء و الأموات و تجعله طاهرا مطهرا و شفاء لأدياننا و دواء لأبداننا و طهارة لسرائرنا و ظواهرنا و نورا لأرواحنا و مقويا لنا على خدمتك باعثا لنا على مراقبتك و اجعلنا

And purify this food and drink of ours and all that we partake in from the bounties of Your^-azwj Mercy from filth, impurity, people’s rights, and from the Forbidden and doubtful, and protect its owners, both the living and the dead, and make it pure, cleansed, a cure for our religions, a remedy for our bodies, a purification for our inner and outer selves, a light for our souls, and a strength for us to serve You^-azwj, inspiring us to remain mindful of You^-azwj.

بعد ذلك ممن أغنيته بعلمك عن المقال و بكرمك عن السؤال برحمتك يا أرحم الراحمين.

After that, make us among those whom You^-azwj have Enriched with Your^-azwj Knowledge from the need to speak, and by Your^-azwj Generosity from the need to ask, by Your^-azwj mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

فصل فيما نذكره من القصد بالإفطار

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM THE AIMING FOR THE IFTAAR

اعلم أن الإفطار عمل يقوم به ديوان العبادات و مطلب يظفر بالسعادات فلا بد له من قصد يليق بتلك المرادات

Know that breaking the Fast is an act performed by the registry of acts of worship and a pursuit that attains happiness, so it must be done with an intention that aligns with those goals.

و من أهم ما قصد الصائم بإفطاره و ختم به تلك العبادة مع العالم بأسراره امتثال أمر الله جل جلاله بحفظ حياته على باب طاعة مالك مباره و مساره

One of the most important intentions of the Fasting person when breaking their Fast and completing that act of worship, while being aware of its secrets, is to fulfil the Command of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, by preserving their life in the service of obedience to the Master of all affairs and joy.

و إذا لم يقصد بذلك حفظها على باب الطاعة فكأنه قد ضيع الطعام و أتلفه و أتلفها و عرضها للإضاعة و خسر في البضاعة و تصير الطاعات الصادرة عنه عن قوة سَقِيمة النِّيات كإنسان يركب دابة في الحج أو الزيارات بغير إذن صاحبها أو بمخالفة في مسالكها و مذاهبها أو فيها شي‏ء من الشبهات

If the intention is not to preserve life for the sake of obedience, it is as if they have wasted the food, destroyed it, and exposed their life to loss, thus failing in their investment. The acts of worship that proceed from a weakened intention are like a person riding an animal to Hajj or other visits without the owner’s permission, or by violating the paths and manners of travel, or if there is some doubt involved.

و أي كُلفة أو مشقة فيما ذكرناه من صلاح النية و معاملة الجلالة الإلهية حتى يهرب من تلك المراتب و المناصب و الشرف و المواهب إلى معاملة الشهوة البهيمية و الطبع الخائب الذاهب لو لا رضاه لنفسه بذل المصائب و الشماتة بما حصل فيه من النوائب.

What difficulty or hardship is there in having a righteous intention and dealing with the divine majesty, that one would flee from those lofty ranks and positions of honour and gifts to instead engage in the pursuits of animalistic desire and base instincts, failing in both and succumbing to calamities, except for someone who is content to bring misfortune upon themselves and takes pleasure in the disasters that befall them?

فصل فيما نذكره مما يقوله الصائم عند الإفطار بمقتضى الأخبار

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING FROM WHAT THE FASTING ONE SHOULD SAY AT THE IFTAAR BASED UPON THE AHADEETH

رَوَى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ تَغَمَّدَهُ اللَّهُ بِالرِّضْوَانِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مَوْلَانَا مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع‏ أَنَّ لِكُلِّ صَائِمٍ عِنْدَ فُطُورِهِ دَعْوَةً مُسْتَجَابَةً فَإِذَا كَانَ أَوَّلُ لُقْمَةٍ فَقُلْ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ- اللَّهُمَّ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ اغْفِرْ لِي.

‏It is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in the book ‘Amal Shahr Ramzan’, may Allah^-azwj Sheathe him with the Pleasure, by his chain to our Master Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws, from his^‑asws father^-asws, from his^-asws grandfather^-asws, from Al-Hassan^-asws Bin Ali^-asws: ‘For every Fasting one at his Iftaar there are Answered supplication. When it would be the first morsel, say, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj, O Capacious of the Forgiveness! Forgive for me!’’[20]

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ اغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَهَا عِنْدَ إِفْطَارِهِ غُفِرَ لَهُ.

And in another report – ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! O Capacious of the Forgiveness, Forgive for me!’, for the one who says it at his Iftaar, (sins) would be Forgiven for him’’.[21]

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING ABOUT THE PROPHET^-saww THE MERITS OF THE SUPPLICATION AT EATING THE FOOD

رَأَيْتُ ذَلِكَ فِي حَدِيثِهِ عَلَيْهِ أَفْضَلُ السَّلَامِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَكَلَ طَعَاماً ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا مِنْ رِزْقِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَ قُوَّةٍ غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ.

I saw that in his^-asws Hadeeth, may the most superior of the greetings be upon him^-asws, he^-asws said: ‘One who eats food, then says, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Fed me this from His^-azwj sustenance from without any might and strength from me’, it will be Forgive for him whatever sins he had sent ahead’’.[22]

رَأَيْتُ فِي الْجُزْءِ الثَّانِي مِنْ تَارِيخِ نَيْشَابُورَ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ حَسَنِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ بَيْنَ كُلِّ لُقْمَتَيْنِ.

I saw in the second volume of ‘Tareekh Neyshapour’ in a translation of Hassan Bin Bashir by his chain. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww to praise Allah^-azwj between every two morsels’’.[23]

أقول: أنا أيها المسلم المصدّق بالقرآن المتمثّل لأمر الله جل جلاله إياك أن تخالف قوله تعالى في رسوله‏ فَاتَّبِعُوهُ‏ وَ اتَّبَعُوا النُّورَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ مَعَهُ‏ و اسلك سبيل هذه الآداب فإنها مطايا و عطايا يفتح لها أنوار سعادة الدنيا و يوم الحساب.

I say, ‘O you Muslim, the ratifier of the Quran, the abider by the Command of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, beware of opposing Words of the Exalted regarding His^-azwj Rasool^‑saww, so follow him^-saww, and follow the Light which descends with him, [7:157], and act in the way of these etiquettes, for these are belongings and awards opening for it the lights of happiness in the world and the Day of Reckoning’.

SECTION REGARDING WHAT WE ARE MENTIONING THE SUPPLICATION WHICH ITS WORDING REQUIRES THAT IT IS AFTER THE IFTAAR WITH WHAT WE ARE REPORTING ABOUT THE IFTAAR

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِعِدَّةِ أَسَانِيدَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا ذَهَبَ الظَّمَأُ وَ ابْتَلَّتِ الْعُرُوقُ وَ بَقِيَ الْأَجْرُ.

From that is what we are reporting by a number of chains to Abu Abdullah Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws: ‘Whenever Rasool-Allah^-saww broke Fast, said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! We Fasted for You^-azwj and we break upon Your^-azwj sustenance, so Accept it from us! The thirst is gone, and the veins are moistened, and the Recompense remains’’.[24]

وَ رَوَى السَّيِّدُ يَحْيَى بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ هَارُونَ الْحُسَيْنِيِّ فِي كِتَابِ أَمَالِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ قَالَ: كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ص إِذَا أَكَلَ بَعْضَ اللُّقْمَةِ قَالَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ أَطْعَمْتَ وَ سَقَيْتَ وَ أَرْوَيْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غَيْرَ مَكْفُورٍ وَ لَا مُوَدَّعٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْكَ.

And it is reported by the Seyyid Yahya Bin Al-Husayn Bin Haroun Al-Husayni in the book ‘Amaali’, by his chain, said, ‘Whenever the Prophet^-saww ate one of the morsels, he^-saww said: ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise! You^-azwj have Fed, and Quenched, and Saturated! For You^-azwj is the Praise neither denied, nor forsaken, nor independent of You^-azwj!’’[25]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيٌّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا أَفْطَرَ جَثَى عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ حَتَّى يُوضَعَ الْخِوَانُ وَ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ‏.

And from that is what is reported from Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Whenever Ali^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws, broke Fast, he^-asws knelt upon his^-asws knees until the meal was placed, and he^-asws said:

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْنَا وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْنَا فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj we have Fasted, and upon Your^-azwj sustenance we are breaking, so Accept it from us, surely, You^-azwj are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing!’’[26]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كُلَّمَا صُمْتَ يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقُلْ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعَانَنَا فَصُمْنَا وَ رَزَقَنَا فَأَفْطَرْنَا

And from that is what we are reporting by our chain to Haroun Bin Musa Al-Tal’ukbari, by his chain to Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Every time you fast a day from a month of Ramazan, so say at the Iftaar, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Assisted us so we Fasted, and Provided us so we broke!

اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا وَ أَعِنَّا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمْنَا فِيهِ وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي قَضَى عَنِّي يَوْماً مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Accept it from us, and Assist us upon it, and Keep us safe in it and Accept it from us in ease from You^-azwj and well-being! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Fulfilled on my behalf a day from a month of Ramazan’’.[27]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا يُرْوَى عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْكَاظِمِ ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا أَمْسَيْتَ صَائِماً فَقُلْ عِنْدَ إِفْطَارِكَ- اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ صُمْتُ وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ يُكْتَبُ لَكَ أَجْرُ مَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ.

And from that is what is reported from Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far Al-Kazim^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^-asws having said: ‘When you come to an evening Fasting, say at your Iftaar, ‘O Allah^‑azwj! For You^-azwj I have Fasted, and upon Your^-azwj sustenance I have broken, and upon You^-azwj I have relied!’ – He^-azwj will Write the Recompense of the one who Fasts that day’’.[28]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا يُدْعَى بِهِ عِنْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنْ أَكْلِ كُلِّ الطَّعَامِ وَ هُوَ مِمَّا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الطَّبْرِسِيِّ ره عَمَّنْ يَرْوِيهِ عَنِ الْأَئِمَّةِ ع فَقَالَ: وَ تَقُولُ عِنْدَ الْفَرَاغِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي فَأَشْبَعَنِي وَ سَقَانِي فَأَرْوَانِي وَ صَانَنِي وَ حَمَانِي الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَرَّفَنِي الْبَرَكَةَ وَ الْيُمْنَ بِمَا أَصَبْتُهُ وَ تَرَكْتُهُ مِنْهُ

And from that is what is to be supplicated with at being free from eating every food, and it is from what we are reporting by our chain to Al-Tabarsee, from the one who reported it from the Imams^-asws, he^-asws said: ‘And he should say at being free from the meal, ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Feed me so Satiated me, and Quenched me so Saturated me, and Protected me and Sheltered me! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Introduced me to the Blessings and the Conferment with what I have attained and neglected from it!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً لَا وَبِيّاً وَ لَا دَوِيّاً وَ أَبْقِنِي بَعْدَهُ سَوِيّاً قَائِماً بِشُكْرِكَ مُحَافِظاً عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي رِزْقاً دَارّاً وَ أَعِشْنِي عَيْشاً قَارّاً وَ اجْعَلْنِي بَارّاً وَ اجْعَلْ مَا يَتَلَقَّانِي فِي الْمَعَادِ مُبْهِجاً سَارّاً بِرَحْمَتِكَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Make it pleasant and nourishing, not harmful or distressing. Keep me sound and upright after it, grateful for Your^-azwj bounties, steadfast in maintaining obedience to You^-azwj! Grant me abundant provision, let me live a stable and secure life, Make me righteous, and Make what I encounter in the Hereafter to be joyful and delightful by Your^-azwj Mercy!’’[29]

وَ فِيهِ عِدَّةُ رِوَايَاتٍ مِنْهَا مِنْ كِتَابِ ابْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الرَّبُّ وَ أَنَا الْعَبْدُ قَضَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ دَلَلْتَنِي وَ أَنْتَ الصَّادِقُ الْبَارُّ يَدَاكَ مَبْسُوطَتَانِ تُنْفِقُ كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ لَا يُلْحِفُكَ سَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ نَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَزِيدُكَ كَثْرَةُ السُّؤَالِ إِلَّا عَطَاءً وَ جُوداً

And in it are a number of reports from it from the book of Ibn Abu Qurra regarding acts of worship of third night of a month of Ramazan. From it is: – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Lord^‑azwj and I am the servant. You^-azwj have Decreed upon Yourself^-azwj to the Mercy and Your^-azwj Guiding me, and You^-azwj are the Truthful, the Righteous! Your^-azwj Hands are Extended to Spend whatever You^-azwj Desire! Neither does a beggar overwhelm You^-azwj, nor does a task reduce You^-azwj, and frequency of the request does not increase You^-azwj except in Giving and Generosity!

أَسْأَلُكَ قَلْباً وَجِلًا مِنْ مَخَافَتِكَ أُدْرِكُ بِهِ جَنَّةَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ أَمْضِي بِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ أَرْضَاكَ عَمَلُهُ وَ أَرْضَيْتَهُ فِي ثَوَابِكَ حَتَّى تُبْلِغَنِي بِذَلِكَ ثِقَةَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِكَ وَ أَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ مِنْكَ

I ask You^-azwj for a heart that palpitates from fearing You^-azwj by which I can realise the Garden of Your^-azwj Pleasure, and I can go with it in a way of the one You^-azwj Love and are Pleased with His^-azwj deeds and You^-azwj will Please him regarding Your^-azwj Rewards until by that You^-azwj Make me reach the Momineen trusting You^-azwj and security from You^-azwj for the fearful!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي مِنْ عَطَاءٍ فَاجْعَلْهُ شُغُلًا فِيمَا تُحِبُّ وَ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي فَاجْعَلْهُ فَرَاغاً لِي فِيمَا تُحِبُّ

O Allah^-azwj, and whatever awards You^-azwj have Given me, Make it pre-occupation regarding what You^-azwj Love, and whatever You^-azwj have Impeded from me, Make is a free-time for me regarding what You^-azwj Love!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قَصَمْتَ الْجَبَابِرَةَ بِجَبَرُوتِكَ وَ بَسَطْتَ كَنَفَكَ عَلَى الْخَلَائِقِ وَ أَقْسَمْتَ أَنَّكَ حَيٌّ قَيُّومٌ وَ كَذَلِكَ أَنْتَ تَنْقَطِعُ حِيَلُ الْمُبْطِلِينَ وَ مَكْرُهُمْ دُونَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj have Broken the tyrants with Your^-azwj Force, and have Extended Your^-azwj Canopy upon the creatures, and I vow that You^-azwj are Alive, Eternal, and like that You^-azwj Cut off the rope of the invalidators and their plots apart from You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي مُوَالاةَ مَنْ وَالَيْتَ وَ مُعَادَاةَ مَنْ عَادَيْتَ وَ حُبّاً لِمَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ بُغْضاً لِمَنْ أَبْغَضْتَ حَتَّى لَا أُوَالِيَ لَكَ عَدُوّاً وَ لَا أُعَادِيَ لَكَ وَلِيّاً

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Provide me friendship of the ones You^-azwj Befriended, and enmity of the ones You^-azwj are Inimical to, and love of the ones You^-azwj Love and hatred of the ones You^-azwj Hate until I neither befriend an enemy of Yours^-azwj nor inimical to a friend of Yours^-azwj!

I complain to You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, or wrongdoings having blinded my sight and shaded upon my heart and knocked me down in the road of the wrongdoers! This is my hand pledge in Your^-azwj ropes with what I have offended upon myself, and this is my leg bound in Your^-azwj ropes!

بِاكْتِسَابِي فَلَوْ كَانَ هَرَبِي إِلَى جَبَلٍ يُلْجِئُنِي أَوْ مَفَازَةٍ تُوَارِينِي أَوْ بَحْرٍ يُنْجِينِي لَكُنْتُ الْعَائِذَ بِكَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي أَسْتَعِيذُكَ عِيَاذَةَ مَهْمُومٍ كَئِيبٍ حَزِينٍ يَرْقُبُ نَارَ السَّمُومِ

Due to what I have earned, even if there was fleeing to a mountain to shelter me, or a wilderness to hide me, or an ocean to save me, I would still be taking refuge with You^-azwj from my sins! I seek Your^-azwj Refuge of a worried, bleak, grieving one watching out for toxic Fire!

اللَّهُمَّ يَا مُجَلِّيَ عَظَائِمِ الْأُمُورِ جَلِّ عَنِّي هَمَّةَ الْهُمُومِ وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنْ نَارٍ تَقْصِمُ عِظَامِي وَ تُحْرِقُ أَحْشَائِي وَ تَفْرُقُ قُوَايَ

‘O Allah^-azwj, I seek Refuge with You^-azwj in this mighty month, from every sin withholding my sustenance, or bars my request, or invalidates my voice, or blocks Your^-azwj Honourable Face from me!

For You^-azwj is the Praise, and for You^-azwj is the thanks, and for You^-azwj is the Conferring, and for You^-azwj is the Leniency, and You^-azwj are the One, the First, the Non-Hollow!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَلَالِكَ سَيِّدِي وَ جَمَالِكَ مَوْلَايَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنِّي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ‏ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

From that is a supplication for the second day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! To You^‑azwj I have come with my needs, and with You^-azwj have descended with You^-azwj today my poverty and my neediness! I am more hopeful for Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Mercy than I am for my own deeds, while Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Mercy is more capacious for me than all of my sins!

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Take charge to Fulfil every need of mine by Your^-azwj Power upon it, and it is ease upon You^‑azwj, and my need is to You^-azwj, for I have not attained any good at all except from You^‑azwj, and no evil has been Turned away from me by anyone at all apart from You^-azwj, nor do I hope for matters of my Hereafter and my world besides to You^-azwj for the day You^-azwj will Individualise me from the people in my grave and I turn to You^-azwj, O Benevolent!

فَلَا تُخَيِّبْ دُعَائِي يَا مَنْ لَا يَخِيبُ عَلَيْهِ السَّائِلُ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُهُ نَائِلٌ فَإِنِّي لَمْ آتِكَ ثِقَةً بِعَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ عَمِلْتُهُ وَ لَا لِوِفَادَةٍ إِلَى مَخْلُوقٍ رَجَوْتُهُ أَتَيْتُكَ مُقِرّاً بِالْإِسَاءَةِ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ الظُّلْمِ لَهَا مُعْتَرِفاً بِأَنْ لَا حُجَّةَ لِي وَ لَا عُذْرَ

So do not disappoint my supplication, O the One^-azwj no beggar is disappointed to Him^-azwj nor does a taken reduce Him^-azwj! I have not come to You^-azwj trusting with any righteous deed I have worked, nor have I delegated to any created being hoping to him! I have come to You^‑azwj accepting the evil deeds upon myself and the injustices, acknowledging that neither do I have any argument for it nor excuse!

أَتَيْتُكَ أَرْجُو عَظِيمَ عَفْوِكَ الَّذِي عَلَوْتَ‏ بِهِ عَلَى الْخَاطِئِينَ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ طُولُ عُكُوفِهِمْ عَلَى عَظِيمِ الْجُرْمِ أَنْ عُدْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالرَّحْمَةِ فَيَا مَنْ رَحْمَتُهُ وَاسِعَةٌ وَ عَفْوُهُ عَظِيمٌ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا رَبِّ لَيْسَ‏ يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ إِلَّا حِلْمُكَ وَ لَا يُنْجِينِي مِنْ سَخَطِكَ إِلَّا التَّضَرُّعُ إِلَيْكَ

I have come to You^-azwj hoping for Your^-azwj Mighty Pardon which You^-azwj Exalted with upon the wrongdoers! Their prolonged persistence upon the mighty crimes did not Prevent You^-azwj from Repeating with the Mercy upon them! O the One^-azwj Whose Mercy is vast, and His^-azwj Pardon is Mighty! O Mighty, O Mighty, O Lord^-azwj! Nothing returns Your^-azwj Wrath except Your^-azwj Leniency, and nothing can save me from Your^-azwj Wrath except the beseeching to You^-azwj!

فَهَبْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي فَرَجاً بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي تُحْيِي بِهَا مَيْتَ الْبِلَادِ وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي غَمّاً حَتَّى تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي دُعَائِي وَ تُعَرِّفَنِي الْإِجَابَةَ وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْعَافِيَةِ إِلَى مُنْتَهَى أَجَلِي وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْهُ عَلَيَّ وَ لَا تُمَكِّنْهُ مِنْ عُنُقِي

Gift to me, O my God^-azwj, relief through the Power by which You^-azwj Revive the dead land to life, and do not let me perish in distress until You^-azwj Answer my supplication and make me recognise the response. Let me taste the sweetness of well-being until the end of my life. Do not allow my enemy to gloat over me, do not empower them over me, and do not give them control over my neck!

إِلَهِي إِنْ وَضَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَرْفَعُنِي وَ إِنْ رَفَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَضَعُنِي وَ إِنْ أَهْلَكْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَعْرِضُ لَكَ فِي عَبْدِكَ أَوْ يَسْأَلُكَ عَنْ أَمْرِهِ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ لَيْسَ فِي حُكْمِكَ ظُلْمٌ وَ لَا فِي نَقِمَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ وَ إِنَّمَا يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخَافُ الْفَوْتَ وَ إِنَّمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيفُ وَ قَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً

My God^-azwj! If You^-azwj Drop me then who is the one to raise me? And if You^-azwj Raise me then who is the one who can drop me? And if You^-azwj were to Destroy me then who is the one who can challenge You^-azwj regarding Your^-azwj servant or question You^-azwj about his matter, and I do know that there isn’t any injustice in Your^-azwj Judgment, nor any haste in Your^-azwj Vengeance, but rather he makes haste one who fears the loss (of an opportunity), and rather only the weak needs (the help of) oppression (to assert his prominence), and You^-azwj are far above that, Great!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ انْصُرْنِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ آثِرْنِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي وَ أَعِنِّي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ وَ اعْصِمْنِي وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ أَرِدْهُ بِي وَ قَدِّرْهُ لِي وَ يَسِّرْهُ وَ امْضِهْ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِهِ وَ أَسْعِدْنِي بِمَا تُعْطِينِي مِنْهُ وَ زِدْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ سَعَةً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ الدَّائِمَةِ وَ أَوْصِلْ لِي ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ بِخَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ نَعِيمِهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Help me, and Mercy me, and Prefer me, and Assist me, and Forgive for me, and Turn to me, and Protect me, and Answer to me in entirety of what I am requesting You^-azwj, and Want it with me, and Determine it for me, and Ease it, and Implement it, and Bless for me in it, and Grace upon me with it, and Assist me with what You^-azwj have Granted from it, and Increase me from Your^-azwj vast Grace from Your^-azwj permanent bounties, and connect for me all of that with goodness of the Hereafter and its bounties, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[32]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ قَرِّبْنِي فِيهِ إِلَى مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ جَنِّبْنِي فِيهِ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ نَقِمَاتِكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِقِرَاءَةِ كِتَابِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

Another supplicating during the second day of it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Draw me closer in it to Your^-azwj Satisfaction, and Keep me aside in it from Your^-azwj Wrath and Your^-azwj Punishments, and Harmonise me for reading Your^-azwj Book by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[33]

مِنْهَا مِنْ كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةِ مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْتَحْ قَلْبِي لِذِكْرِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي أَتَّبِعُ كِتَابَكَ وَ أُؤْمِنُ بِرَسُولِكَ وَ أُوفِي بِعَهْدِكَ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي رَحْمَتَكَ وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَوْمِي

From it, from the book of Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra regarding acts of worship of a month of Ramazan during the third night of it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Open my heart for Your^-azwj Zikr, and Make me follow Your^-azwj Book, and believe in Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and be loyal with Your^-azwj Covenant, and Clothe me Your^-azwj Mercy, and Accept my fasting!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الشَّرِيفِ الْعَظِيمِ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِمَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَيْكَ بِالْمُسْتَحْفَظِينَ أَوَّلِهِمْ وَ آخِرِهِمْ

O Allah^-azwj! I draw closer to You^-azwj in this noble month, the mighty, through Your^-azwj Generosity and Your^-azwj Benevolence, and I draw closer to You^-azwj through Your^-azwj Angels, and Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, and Rasool^-saww, and I draw closer to You^-azwj through the preservers (God Fearing), their first and their last!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَغْفِرَ لِيَ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ اللَّيْلَةَ اللَّيْلَةَ وَ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ وَ تَسْتَدْعِي الدُّمُوعَ.

O I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me the sins altogether, now, now, tonight, tonight!’ – and raise your hands and call for the tears (to flow)’’.[34]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ يَا إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِلَهَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ وَ الْأَسْبَاطِ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ السَّمِيعَ الْعَلِيمَ الْحَلِيمَ الْكَرِيمَ الْعَلِيَّ الْعَظِيمَ

Another supplication reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘O God^-azwj of Ibrahim^-as, and God^-azwj of Is’haq^-as, and God^-azwj of Yaqoub^-as and the tribes! Lord^-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit, the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, the Forbearing, the Benevolent, the Exalted, the Magnificent!

لَكَ صُمْتُ وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ وَ إِلَى كَنَفِكَ أَوَيْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ‏ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّءُوفُ الرَّحِيمُ قَوِّنِي عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ لَا تُخْزِنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ.

For You^-azwj I have Fasted, and upon Your^-azwj sustenance I have broken, and to Your^-azwj Canopy I have sheltered, and to You^-azwj I am penitent, and to You^-azwj is the destination, and You^-azwj are the Kind, the Merciful! Strengthen me upon the Salat, and the Fasting, and do not Disgrace me on the Day of Qiyamah, You^-azwj do not break the Promises!’’[35]

فصل فيما يختص باليوم الثالث من دعاء غير متكرر

SECTION REGARDING WHAT IS SPECIFIC WITH THE THIRD DAY, FROM A SUPPLICATION WITHOUT REPETITION

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ يَا مَنْ تُحَلُّ بِهِ عُقَدُ الْمَكَارِهِ وَ يَا مَنْ يُفْثَأُ بِهِ حَدُّ الشَّدَائِدِ وَ يَا مَنْ يُلْتَمَسُ مِنْهُ الْمَخْرَجُ إِلَى مَحَلِّ الْفَرَجِ ذَلَّتْ لِقُدْرَتِكَ الصِّعَابُ وَ تَسَبَّبَتْ بِلُطْفِكَ الْأَسْبَابُ وَ جَرَى بِطَاعَتِكَ الْقَضَاءُ وَ مَضَتْ عَلَى إِرَادَتِكَ الْأَشْيَاءُ فَهِيَ بِمَشِيَّتِكَ دُونَ قَوْلِكَ مُؤْتَمِرَةٌ وَ بِإِرَادَتِكَ دُونَ نَهْيِكَ مُنْزَجِرَةٌ

From that is a supplication for the third day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O the One^-azwj through whom the knots of misfortunes are untied, and O the One^-azwj through whom the sharpness of the hardships is blunted, and O the One^-azwj from Whom is sought the outlet to the place of relief! The difficulties are eased at Your^-azwj Power, and the causes are caused by Your^-azwj Subtleties, and the Decrees flow by obedience to You^‑azwj, and the things are implemented upon Your^-azwj Will! It is Your^-azwj Desire besides Your^‑azwj Commanding Word, and by Your^-azwj Will besides Your^-azwj Rebuking Prohibition!

أَنْتَ الْمَدْعُوُّ لِلْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَفْزَعُ فِي الْمُلِمَّاتِ- لَا يَنْدَفِعُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا دَفَعْتَ وَ لَا يَنْكَشِفُ مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَا كَشَفْتَ وَ قَدْ نَزَلَ بِي يَا رَبِّ مَا قَدْ تَكَأَّدَنِي ثِقْلُهُ وَ أَلَمَّ بِي مَا قَدْ بَهَظَنِي حَمْلُهُ وَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ أَوْرَدْتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَ بِسُلْطَانِكَ وَجَّهْتَهُ إِلَيَّ

You^-azwj are the One called upon for the important matters, and You^-azwj are the Refuge regarding the major difficulties! Nothing can be repelled from these except what You^-azwj Repel, nor can anything from these be removed except what You^-azwj have Removed, and O Lord^-azwj, there has befallen with me what its heaviness has toiled me, and there is such pain with me what its load has burdened me, and by Your^-azwj Power You^-azwj have Caused it to arrive to me, and by Your^-azwj Authority You^-azwj have Diverted it to me!

فَلَا مُصْدِرَ لِمَا أَوْرَدْتَ وَ لَا مُورِدَ لِمَا أَصْدَرْتَ وَ لَا صَارِفَ لِمَا وَجَّهْتَ وَ لَا فَاتِحَ لِمَا أَغْلَقْتَ وَ لَا مُغْلِقَ لِمَا فَتَحْتَ وَ لَا مُيَسِّرَ لِمَا عَسَّرْتَ وَ لَا مُعَسِّرَ لِمَا يَسَّرْتَ وَ لَا نَاصِرَ لِمَنْ خَذَلْتَ وَ لَا خَاذِلَ لِمَنْ نَصَرْتَ

There is no turning away of what You^-azwj have Brought nor any bringing of what You^-azwj have Turned away, nor any diverting away for what You^-azwj have Directed, nor any way to the opening of that which You^-azwj have Locked nor any locking of what You^-azwj have Opened, nor any ease for that which You^-azwj have Made difficult nor any maker of difficulty for what You^-azwj have Eased, nor any helper for the one You^-azwj have Abandoned nor any abandoner for the one You^-azwj have Helped!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْتَحْ لِي يَا رَبِّ بَابَ الْفَرَجِ بِطَوْلِكَ وَ اكْسِرْ عَنِّي سُلْطَانَ الْهَمِّ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ أَنِلْنِي حُسْنَ النَّظَرِ فِيمَا شَكَوْتُ وَ أَذِقْنِي حَلَاوَةَ الصُّنْعِ فِيمَا سَأَلْتُ وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ فَرَجاً هَنِيئاً وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ مَخْرَجاً وَحِيّاً

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Open for me O Lord^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, the relief with Your^-azwj Leniency, and Break away from me the authority of worries by Your^-azwj Might, and Give me the good insight regarding what I am complaining, and Make me taste sweetness of the Making regarding what I am requesting, and Gift to me from You^-azwj a pleasant relief, and Make for me from Yourself^-azwj an outlet repeatedly!

وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي بِالاهْتِمَامِ عَنْ تَعَاهُدِ فُرُوضِكَ وَ اسْتِعْمَالِ سُنَّتِكَ فَقَدْ ضِقْتُ لِمَا نَزَلَ بِي ذَرْعاً وَ امْتَلَأْتُ بِمَا حَدَثَ عَلَيَّ هَمّاً وَ أَنْتَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كَشْفِ مَا مُنِيتُ بِهِ وَ دَفْعِ مَا وَقَعْتُ فِيهِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ أَسْتَوْجِبْهُ مِنْكَ

And do not pre-occupy me with the concerns distracting me from fulfilling Your^-azwj obligation, and utilising Your^-azwj Sunnah, for I have been weakened due to what has befallen with me, tired, and am impatient with what worries have occurred upon me, and You^-azwj are the Able upon Removing what I have been afflicted with and Repelling what I have fallen into! So, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Do that with me (ask for your needs), and even if I don’t deserve it from You^-azwj!

يَا ذَا الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ وَ السُّلْطَانِ الْعَظِيمِ يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ خَلَوْنَا بِهِ وَحْدَنَا وَ يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ أَشَرْنَا إِلَيْهِ بِكَفِّنَا نَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْ تُلْهِمَنَا الْخَيْرَ وَ تُعْطِيَنَاهُ وَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَ عَنَّا الشَّرَّ وَ تَكْفِيَنَاهُ وَ أَنْ تَدْحَرَ عَنَّا الشَّيْطَانَ وَ تُبَعِّدَنَاهُ وَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنَا الْفِرْدَوْسَ وَ تُحِلَّنَاهُ وَ أَنْ تَسْقِيَنَا مِنْ حَوْضِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ تُورِدَنَاهُ

O with the Benevolent Throne and the Mighty Authority! O the Best of the one we can be in solitude with alone, and O the Best of the ones we can indicate to by our hands! We as You^‑azwj, O Allah^-azwj, to Inspire us the good and Give it to us, and to Turn the evil away from us and Suffice us of it, and to Drive the Satan^-la away from us and Distance him^-la, and to Grace us Al-Firdows (a Garden in the Paradise) and Legalise it for us, and to Quench us from the fountain of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Make us arrive to it (the Fountain)!

نَدْعُوكَ يَا رَبَّنَا تَضَرُّعاً وَ خِيفَةً وَ رَغْبَةً وَ رَهْبَةً وَ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ

We supplicate to You^-azwj, O our Lord^-azwj, beseeching, and fearfully, and desiring, and awed, and fearing, and eagerly, surely You^-azwj are Hearer of the supplication, and may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِكَ مِنْكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اسْتَظَلَّ بِفَيْئِكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ وَ لَمْ يَثِقْ إِلَّا بِكَ يَا جَزِيلَ الْعَطَايَا وَ يَا فَكَّاكَ الْأُسَارَى

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the sanctity of the one seeking refuge with You^-azwj from You^-azwj, and sheltering to Your^-azwj Might, and shading with Your^-azwj Shade, and adhering with Your^‑azwj rope, and he does not trust except with You^-azwj, O Plentiful of the giving, and O Freer of the captives!

أَنْتَ الْمَفْزَعُ فِي الْمُلِمَّاتِ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَدْعُوُّ لِلْمُهِمَّاتِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً بِمَا شِئْتَ إِذَا شِئْتَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

You^-azwj the Refuge during the distress, and You^-azwj are the One called upon for the important matters! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make relief for me and an outlet, and vast sustenance with whatever You^-azwj Desire, and whenever You^-azwj Desire, however You^-azwj Desire, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[36]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّالِثِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهِ الذِّهْنَ وَ التَّنْبِيهَ وَ أَبْعِدْنِي فِيهِ عَنِ السَّفَاهَةِ وَ التَّمْوِيهِ وَ اجْعَلْ لِي نَصِيباً مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ تُنْزِلُ فِيهِ بِجُودِكَ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْأَجْوَدِينَ‏.

Another supplication during the third day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Grace me in it the understanding and awareness, and Keep me away from foolishness and deception. Bestow upon me a share of every good that You^-azwj Send down during it by Your^-azwj Generosity, O most Generous of the generous ones!’’[37]

أقول: و في رواية أن الإنجيل أنزل يوم ثالث شهر رمضان على عيسى ع فيكون له زيادة في الاحترام و عمل الطاعات و الخيرات و روي لست مضين منه و سنذكر في ليلة ست إن شاء الله تعالى.

I say, ‘And in a report, the Evangel was Revealed on the third of a month of Ramazan unto Isa^‑as, so there would be for it an increase in the reverence, and the righteous deeds, and the goodness, and it is reported, for the sixth day passed from it, and we shall mention regarding the sixth night if Allah^-azwj the Exalted so Desires’.

مِنْهَا مِنْ كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ إِلَهِي مَا عَمِلْتُ مِنْ حَسَنَةٍ فَلَا حَمْدَ لِي فِيهِ وَ مَا ارْتَكَبْتُ مِنْ سُوءٍ فَلَا عُذْرَ لِي فِيهِ إِلَهِي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَتَّكِلَ عَلَى مَا لَا حَمْدَ لِي فِيهِ أَوْ أَرْتَكِبَ مَا لَا عُذْرَ لِي فِيهِ

From these, from the book of Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah regarding acts of worship of a month of Ramazan during the fourth night – ‘My God^-azwj! Whatever good deeds I have worked, there is no praise for me in it, and whatever evil deeds I have committed, there is no excuse for me in it! My God^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from relying upon what there is no praise for me in it, or I have committed that (for which) there is no excuse for me in it!

إِلَهِي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا وَعَدْتُكَ مِنْ نَفْسِي ثُمَّ أَخْلَفْتُكَ فِيهِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا أَرَدْتُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ الْكَرِيمَ فَخَالَطَنِي مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ رِضًا-

My God^-azwj! I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness from what I had repented to You^-azwj from, then I returned in it, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness from what I had promised You^-azwj from myself, then I broke (my promise) to You^-azwj regarding it, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness from what I had intended Your^-azwj Benevolent Face, but there mingled me what wasn’t Satisfaction for You^-azwj!

وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ أَنْعَمْتَ بِهَا عَلَيَّ فَقَوِيتُ بِهَا عَلَى مَعَاصِيكَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ‏ لِكُلِّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ وَ لِكُلِّ خَطِيئَةٍ ارْتَكَبْتُهَا وَ لِكُلِّ سُوءٍ أَتَيْتُهُ

Supplication of the seventh day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are my Trust when my thoughts are evil with the deeds, and You^-azwj are my Wish at the means being cut-off from me, and You^-azwj are my Hope at constriction of the circle of afflictions upon me, and Your^-azwj are my Weapon during every adversity befalling with me and in every difficulty entering upon me and in every encumberment coming upon me, and You^-azwj are Place of all my complains, and Reliever of every disaster!

I am owner of the major sin and the mighty crime! I am the one my evil deeds have reached their extent with me, and my mask has been removed, and there does not happen to be any veil between me and You^-azwj to cover me from You^-azwj! If You^-azwj were to Punish me in accordance to my crimes, there will be no relief for me even for the blink of an eye, ever!

اللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ بَطْشُهُ شَدِيدٌ وَ عَفْوُهُ قَدِيمٌ وَ مُلْكُهُ مُسْتَقِيمٌ وَ لُطْفُهُ شَدِيدٌ يَا مَنْ سَتَرَ عَلَيَّ الْقَبِيحَ وَ ظَهَرَ بِالْجَمِيلِ وَ لَمْ يُعَجِّلْ بِالْعُقُوبَةِ وَ يَا مَنْ أَذِنَ لِلْعِبَادِ بِالتَّوْبَةِ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ لِذِي الْفَضِيحَةِ يَا مَنْ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ غَيْرُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! O the One^-azwj Whose Prowess is intense, and His^-azwj Pardon is ancient, and His^-azwj Kingdom is Ever-lasting, and His^-azwj Subtlety is intense! O the One^-azwj Who Covers upon the ugliness and Reveals the beautiful and is not hasty with the Punishment, and O the One^-azwj Who has Permitted for the servants with repenting! O the One^-azwj who does not violate the veil for the ones with scandal! O the One^-azwj, no one knows what is in tomorrow apart from Him^-azwj!

يَا جَابِرَ كُلِّ كَسِيرٍ يَا مَأْوَى كُلِّ هَارِبٍ يَا غَاذِيَ مَا فِي بُطُونِ الْأُمَّهَاتِ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ نَزَلَتْ بِي صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ رِزْقِكَ الْوَاسِعِ رِزْقاً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً

O Mender of every brokenness, O Shelter of every fleer, O Provider to what is in bellies of the mothers! O my Chief, You^-azwj are for me in every need befalling with me! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Suffice me of what worries me, and Provide me from Your^-azwj vast sustenance, Permissible, good!

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ فَكَّ أَسْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

O Living, O Eternal! I cry out for help with Your^-azwj Mercy, so Free my captivity, and Rectify for me my affairs, all of them, and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an eye, ever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to remain, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[64]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْعَاشِرِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُتَوَكِّلِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ إِلَيْكَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ لَدَيْكَ بِإِحْسَانِكَ يَا غَايَةَ الطَّالِبِينَ.

Another supplication during the tenth day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make me from the ones relying upon You^-azwj, and Make me from the ones successful to You^-azwj, and Make me from the ones drawing closer to Your^-azwj religion by Your^-azwj Favour, O Peak of the seekers!’’[65]

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ قَدْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ أَدْعِيَةُ لَيَالٍ فَنَقَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, and (some) supplications of the nights have been dropped, so we are transmitting whatever remains from these, and it is supplication of night of the eleventh: –

سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْبَارِئُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ الَّذِي خَلَقَنِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً بِمَشِيَّتِهِ وَ أَرَانِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ فِي كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ مَخْلُوقَاتِهِ وَ صُنْعِهِ الدَّلَائِلَ الْبَيِّنَةَ النَّيِّرةَ عَلَى قُدْرَتِهِ الَّذِي فَرَضَ الصِّيَامَ عَلَيَّ تَعَبُّداً يُصْلِحُ بِهِ شَأْنِي وَ يَغْسِلُ عَنِّي أَوْزَارِي وَ يُذَكِّرُنِي بِمَا لَهَوْتُ عَنْهُ مِنْ ذِكْرِهِ وَ يُوجِبُ لِيَ الزُّلْفَى بِطَاعَةِ أَمْرِهِ

‘Glory be to You^-azwj! There is no god except You^-azwj, the Maker, the One, the Forceful Who Created me and I wasn’t anything, by His^-azwj Desire, and He^-azwj Showed me within myself and in all things from His^-azwj creation and His^-azwj Making, the clear radiant evidencing upon His^‑azwj Power, Who Obligated the Fasts upon me, as an act of worship to Rectify my affairs by it and Wash my burdens away from me, and Reminding me what I have been heedless about from His^-azwj Zikr, and Obligating the closeness to Him^-azwj by obeying His^-azwj Command!

اللَّهُمَّ سَيِّدِي أَنْتَ مَوْلَايَ إِنْ كُنْتَ جُدْتَ عَلَيَّ بِصَالِحَ فِيمَا مَضَى مِنْهُ ارْتَضَيْتَهُ فَزِدْنِي وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ اقْتَرَفْتُ مَا أَسْخَطَكَ فَأَقِلْنِي

O Allah^-azwj, my Chief! You^-azwj are my Master! If You^-azwj have been Generous upon me with good deeds in the past which You^-azwj are Pleased with, so Increase me, and if I have perpetrated what has Angered You^-azwj, then Forgive me!

اللَّهُمَّ مَلِّكْنِي مِنْ نَفْسِي فِي الْهُدَى مَا أَنْتَ لَهُ أَمْلَكُ وَ قَدِّرْنِي مِنَ الْعُدُولِ بِهَا إِلَى إِرَادَتِكَ عَلَى مَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَقْدَرُ وَ كُنْ مُخْتَاراً لِعَبْدِكَ مَا يُسْعِدُهُ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ تَجَنُّبِهِ الشِّقْوَةَ بِمَعْصِيَتِكَ حَتَّى يَفُوزَ فِي الْمَعْصُومِينَ وَ يَنْجُوَ فِي الْمَقْبُولِينَ وَ يُرَافِقَ الْفَائِزِينَ الَّذِينَ‏ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ‏ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً.

O Allah^-azwj! Give me control of myself regarding the guidance what You^-azwj are more in control of, and Empower me from the turning with it to Your^-azwj Will upon what You^-azwj are more Able upon, and Be a Chooser for Your^-azwj servants what would Make him happier with obeying You^-azwj and Keep him away from disobeying You^-azwj until he succeeds among the Protected ones, and Saved among the Accepted ones, and becomes a friend of the winners, those there will neither be fear upon them nor will they be grieving, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Greet abundant greetings!’’[66]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْحَادِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْهُ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ مِنْ كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ يَا مَنْ يَكْفِي كُلَّ مَئُونَةٍ بِلَا مَئُونَةٍ يَا جَوَادُ يَا مَاجِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ يَا مَنْ‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَوْمِي وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى مَا بَقِيَ مِنْ شَهْرِي

Another supplication during the night of the eleventh of it, we are reporting by our chain to Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra, from the book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O the One^-azwj Who Suffice of every provision without being provided! O Generous, O Glorious, O First, O One, O Non-Hollow, O the One^-azwj who did not Take a female consort nor a son, and no one is a match for Him^-azwj! O the One^-azwj Who did not Beget nor is He^-azwj Begotten! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Accept my Fasts, and Assist me upon it and upon what remains from my month!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ لَا أَمْلِكُ مَا أَرْجُو وَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ دَفْعَ مَا أُحَاذِرُ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ مُرْتَهَناً بِعَمَلِي وَ أَمْسَى الْأَمْرُ وَ الْقَضَاءُ بِيَدِكَ يَا رَبِّ فَلَا فَقِيرَ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي

O Allah^-azwj! I have come to an evening not controlling what I am hoping for, nor am I capable of repelling what I am cautious of, and I have come to an evening pledged with my deeds while the Command and the Decree are in Your^-azwj Hand (control), O Lord^-azwj, thus there is no poor one poorer than me!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي يَا رَبِّ ظُلْمِي وَ جُرْمِي وَ جَهْلِي وَ جِدِّي وَ هَزْلِي وَ كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ ارْتَكَبْتُهُ وَ بَلِّغْنِي وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْعَظِيمِ فِي غَيْرِ مَشَقَّةٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا تُهْلِكْ رُوحِي وَ جَسَدِي فِي طَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me, O Lord^-azwj, my injustices, and my crimes, and my ignorance, and my serious and my non-serious, and Make me reach and Provide me goodness of the world and the Hereafter in this mighty month without hardship from me, and do not let my soul and my body be destroyed in seeking what You^-azwj have not Determined for me, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[67]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَأْنِفُ الْعَمَلَ وَ أَرْجُو الْعَفْوَ وَ هَذِهِ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ لَيَالِي الثُّلُثَيْنِ أَدْعُوكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُطْفَى وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُقَوِّيَنِي عَلَى قِيَامِهِ وَ صِيَامِهِ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي‏ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ

Another supplicating in this night reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘O Allah^-azwj! I resume the deeds and I hope for the Pardon, and this is the first night from the night of the two-thirds! I supplicate to You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, the most excellent, and I seek shelter with You^-azwj from Your^-azwj Fire which does not extinguish, and I ask You^-azwj to Strengthen me upon its standing (for Salat), and its Fasts, and to Forgive for me and Mercy me, You^-azwj do not Break the Promise!

اللَّهُمَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ‏ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ بِهَا تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ وَ عَلَيْهَا اتَّكَلْتُ وَ أَنْتَ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ- وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنِّي- إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! By Your^-azwj Mercy Capacious of all things, and by the righteous deeds are completed, and upon it I have relied, and You^-azwj are the Non-Hollow Who does not Beget and is not begotten and no one is a match for Him^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me and Mercy me and Overlook from me, surely You^-azwj are the Oft-Turning, the Merciful!’’[68]

SECTION REGARDING WHAT IS SPECIFIC WITH THE ELEVENTH DAY OF A MONTH OF RAMAZAN

اللَّهُمَّ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْغِنَى وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ بِيَدِكَ مَقَادِيرُ الْخِذْلَانِ وَ النَّصْرِ

O Allah^-azwj! In Your^-azwj Hand (control) are reins of the worlds and the Hereafter, and in Your^‑azwj Hand are reins of the riches and the poverty, and in Your^-azwj Hand are reins of the abandonment and the help!

اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي دِينِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ يَدَيَّ وَ رِجْلَيَّ وَ جَمِيعِ جَسَدِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي عَقْلِي وَ ذِهْنِي وَ فَهْمِي وَ عِلْمِي وَ جَمِيعِ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي

O Allah^-azwj! Bless for me in my religion and my world, and Bless for me in my family and my wealth and my children, and Bless for me in my hearing and my sight, and my hands and my feet, and entirety of my body, and Bless for me in my intellect, and my mind, and my understanding, and my knowledge, and entirety of what You^-azwj have Bestowed upon me!

اللَّهُمَّ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ الْحَلَالِ وَ فُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ دَارَ الْقَرَارِ

O Allah^-azwj! Expand upon me Your^-azwj Permissible sustenance, and Liberate my neck from the Fire and Admit me by Your^-azwj Mercy, into the House of settlement!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ أَهْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ بَوَائِقِ الدَّهْرِ وَ مُصِيبَاتِ اللَّيَالِي وَ الْأَيَّامِ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from horrors of the world and the Hereafter, and disasters of the times, and difficulties of the nights and the days!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيَّ وَ أَنْتَ رَبِّي فَلَا تُحِلَّهُ بِي يَا رَبَّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ فَسَلِّمْنِي وَ أَنْتَ رَبِّي فَلَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى عَدُوِّي وَ لَا إِلَى صَدِيقِي وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ غَضِبْتَ عَلَيَّ فَمَا أُبَالِي غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَافِيَتَكَ أَوْسَعُ لِي وَ أَهْنَأُ لِي

O Allah^-azwj! If You^-azwj were to be Wrathful upon me, and You^-azwj are my Lord^-azwj, do not Release it with me! O Lord^-azwj, the weak ones, and from evil of the Jinn and the humans, Keep me safe, and You^-azwj are my Lord^-azwj, so neither Allocate me to my enemy nor to my friend; and if You^-azwj are not Wrathful upon me, I don’t care apart from that Your^-azwj Given well-being (to me) is more capacious for me and more pleasant for me!

إِلَهِي أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرَضُونَ وَ كَشَفْتَ بِهِ الظُّلْمَةَ عَنْ عِبَادِكَ مِنْ أَنْ يَحُلَّ بِي سَخَطُكَ لَكَ الْعُتْبَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى وَ إِذَا رَضِيتَ وَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ.

My God^-azwj! I seek Refuge with Noor of Your^-azwj Face by which shine the skies and the earths, and by it the darkness is removed from Your^-azwj servants from Your^-azwj Wrath being released with me! For You^-azwj is the Reproach until You^-azwj are Pleased, and when You^-azwj are Pleased, and after the Pleasure, and there is neither might nor strength except with You^-azwj!’’[69]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْحَادِيَ عَشَرَ اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ الْإِحْسَانَ وَ كَرِّهْ إِلَيَّ فِيهِ الْعِصْيَانَ وَ حَرِّمْ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ السَّخَطَ وَ النِّيرَانَ بِعَوْنِكَ يَا عَوْنَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ.

Another supplication during the eleventh day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Cause the good deeds during it to be beloved to me, and Cause the disobedience during it to be abhorrent to me, and Prohibit during it the Wrath upon me, and the Fires, by Your^-azwj Assistance, O Aider of the ones crying out for help!’’[70]

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ قَدْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ أَدْعِيَةُ لَيَالٍ نَقَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ عَشْرَةَ سُبْحَانَكَ أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ الْقَدِيرُ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْأُمُورُ وَ لَا يُعْجِزُهُ مَا يُرِيدُ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُهُ الْعَطَاءُ وَ الْمَزِيدُ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, and supplications of nights have been dropped from it. We are transmitting what remains from these, and it is a supplication of the night of the twelfth – ‘Glory be to You^-azwj, O You^-azwj the King, the Powerful Who’s in His^-azwj Hand (control) of the matters, and whatever He^-azwj Ordains does not Reduce (anything from) Him^-azwj, neither does from the Giving, increases nor reduces (anything from) Him^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَتْ صَحِيفَتِي مُسْوَدَّةً بِالذُّنُوبِ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنِّي أُعَوِّلُ‏ فِي مَحْوِهَا فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيَالِي الْبِيضِ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَرْجُو مِنَ الْغُفْرَانِ وَ الْعَفْوِ مَا هُوَ بِيَدِكَ فَإِنْ جُدْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ لَمْ يَنْقُصْكَ وَ فُزْتُ وَ إِنْ حَرَمْتَنِيهِ لَمْ يَزِدْكَ وَ عَطِبْتُ

O Allah^-azwj! If my parchment (register of deeds) has been darkened by the sinning to You^-azwj, so I am foremost is having it deleted in these white nights, and I hope from the Forgiveness and the Pardon what is in Your^-azwj Hand. If You^-azwj are Generous with it upon me, it will not reduce You^-azwj and I will suffice, and if You^-azwj Deprive me of it, it will not increase You^‑azwj (in Your^‑azwj treasures) but I will be ruined!

اللَّهُمَّ فَوَفِّقْنِي بِمَا سَبَقَ لِي مِنَ الْحُسْنَى شَهَادَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ بِكَ وَ بِمَا جُدْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ مَا كُنْتُ لِأَعْرِفَهُ لَوْ لَا تَفَضُّلُكَ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَنِلْنِي بِهِ رِضَاكَ وَ عِصْمَتَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant me success, by what has been destined for me from goodness, in the testimony of sincerity to You^-azwj, and by what You^-azwj have Generously Bestowed upon me from that, which I would not have known without Your^-azwj Favour. Protect me from Your^-azwj Wrath, and Grant me through it Your^-azwj Pleasure and Protection.

وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِاسْتِئْنَافِ مَا يَزْكُو لَدَيْكَ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ وَ جَنِّبْنِي الْهَفَوَاتِ وَ الزَّلَلَ فَإِنَّكَ تَمْحُو مَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَكَ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً.

(O Allah^-azwj) Guide me to resume actions that are pure and acceptable to You^-azwj, and Keep me away from mistakes and slips. Indeed, You^-azwj Erase what You^-azwj Desire and Affirm what You^-azwj Desire, and with You^-azwj is Mother of the Book, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww the Prophet^-saww, and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant Greetings!’’[71]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ هُوَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةَ عَشْرَةَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّةِ الَّتِي لَا يُجَاوِزُهُنَّ بَرٌّ وَ لَا فَاجِرٌ فَإِنَّكَ لَا تَبِيدُ وَ لَا تَنْفَدُ

Another supplicating in this night, and it is what we are reporting by our chain to Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’. He said a supplication of the night of the twelfth – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Seat of Honour from Your^-azwj Throne, and the ultimate Mercy from Your^-azwj Book, and by Your^-azwj most Magnificent Name, and Your^-azwj complete Words which can neither be surpassed by a righteous nor an immoral, for You^-azwj will neither perish nor deplete.

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي وَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ صِيَامَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ قِيَامَهُ وَ تَفُكَّ رِقَابَنَا مِنَ النَّارِ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Accept from me and from believing men and the believing women, fasting the month of Ramazan and it standing (for Salat), and Liberate our necks from the Fire!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْ قَلْبِي بَارّاً وَ عَمَلِي سَارّاً وَ رِزْقِي دَارّاً وَ حَوْضَ نَبِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ لِي قَرَاراً وَ مُسْتَقَرّاً وَ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my heart righteous, my deeds pleasing, my sustenance abundant, and the Fountain of Your Prophet^-saww, upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws be the greetings, a rest and settlement for me, and Make relief of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, in well-being, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[72]

دُعَاءٌ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً يَبْقَى وَ لَا يَفْنَى وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ شُكْراً يَبْقَى وَ لَا يَفْنَى وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْحَلِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ

A supplication in this night reported from the Prophet^-saww – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Mighty, the Wise, and you^-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful, and You^-azwj are the Exalted, the Magnificent! For You^-azwj is the Praise, a lasting Praise and not perishing, and for You^-azwj is the thanks, a thanks to remain not perishing, and You^-azwj are the Living, the Lenient, the All-Knowing!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِجَلَالِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ بِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُقْهَرُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

I Ask You^-azwj by the Noor of Your^-azwj Honourable Face, and by Your^-azwj Majestic which cannot be breached, and by Your^-azwj Might which cannot be coerced, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Forgive for me and Mercy me, surely You^-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[73]

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّ الْإِنْجِيلَ أُنْزِلَ فِي اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً مَضَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

And it is reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘The Evangel was Revealed during the twelfth night passed from a month of Ramazan’’.[74]

قلت أنا فلها زيادة في التعظيم ذكر المفيد في التواريخ الشرعية أن الإنجيل أنزل في يوم ثاني عشر.

I say, ‘There is additional reverence for it mentioned by Al-Mufeed in the history of the Laws that the Evangel was Revealed during the twelfth day’.

فصل فيما يختص باليوم الثاني عشر منه من دعاء غير متكرر

SECTION REGARDING WHAT SUPPLICATION IS SPECIFIC WITH THE TWELFTH DAY OF IT, WITHOUT REPETITION

اللَّهُمَّ غَارَتْ نُجُومُ سَمَائِكَ إِلَى آخِرِهِ-

O Allah^-azwj! The stars of Your^-azwj sky have disappeared’ – up to its end.

و هو: اللّهمّ غارت نجوم سمائك، و نامت عيون أنامك، و هدأت أصوات عبادك و أنعامك، و غلقت ملوك الأرض عليها أبوابها، و طافت عليها حراسها، و احتجبوا عمن يسألهم حاجة أو ينتجع منهم فائدة، و أنت الهى حى قيوم لا تأخذك سنة و لا نوم، و لا يشغلك شي‏ء، أبواب سماواتك لمن دعاك مفتحات و خزائنك غير مغلقات، اللّهمّ إلخ.

And it is – ‘O Allah^-azwj! The stars of Your^-azwj sky have disappeared, and the eyes of Your^-azwj animals are sleeping, and the voices of Your^-azwj servants and Your^-azwj animals are silent, and kings of the earth have closed their doors and their guards are circling at it, and they are barring from the ones asking them (kings) for a need, or to gains a benefit from them, while You^-azwj are my God^-azwj, Living, Eternal! Neither does slumber seize You^-azwj nor sleep, nor does anything pre-occupy You^-azwj! door of Your^-azwj skies are open for the one supplicating to You^-azwj, and Your^-azwj treasures are without locks! O Allah^-azwj!’ – etc.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَوْدِعُكَ وَ أَسْتَحْفِظُكَ بِأَنْ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ النُّورُ الْقُدُّوسُ- و نَفْسِي وَ رُوحِي وَ رِزْقِي وَ مَحْيَايَ وَ مَمَاتِي وَ أَنْفُسَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْفُسَ أَشْيَاعِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَمِيعَ مَا تَفَضَّلْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَيّاً وَ مَيِّتاً وَ شَاهِداً وَ غَائِباً وَ نَائِماً وَ يَقْظَانَ وَ قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ مُسْتَخِفّاً وَ مُتَهَاوِناً بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْجَلِيلِ الرَّفِيعِ الْعَظِيمِ الْقَائِمِ بِالْقِسْطِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ- بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! There is no god except You^‑azwj, the Living, the Eternal and the Holy Noor, I entrust to You^-azwj and seek Your^-azwj Protection with, , my self, and my soul, and my sustenance, and my life, and my death, and selves of People^-asws of the Household of Muhammad^-saww, and souls of Shias of Muhammad^-saww and entirety of what You^-azwj have Preferred with upon me and upon them^‑asws, living and dying, and present and absent, and sleeping and awake, and standing and sitting, and taking lightly, and negligent, with the Noor of Your^-azwj Honourable Face, the Majestic, the Lofty, the Magnificent, the Standing with the fairness, there is no god except Allah^-azwj the Mighty, the Wise, by Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, the Pure, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws altogether!

يَا وَلِيَّ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بَيْتِكَ الْمَعْمُورِ وَ السَّبْعِ الْمَثَانِي وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِكُلِّ مَنْ يُكْرَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي مَعَ مَا تَفَضَّلْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَيْنَا فَاجْعَلْنَا فِي حِمَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَبَاحُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Guardian of the Prophets^-as and the Messengers^-as, and Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon them^-asws! O Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and Your^-azwj Oft-frequented House, and the seven doubles (Masaany) and the Magnificent Quran, and with every one honourable to You^-azwj from entirety of Your^-azwj creatures, O my Master, along with what You^‑azwj have Graced upon them^-asws and upon us! Make us in Your^-azwj Protection which cannot be violated, by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[75]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ زَيِّنْ لِي فِيهِ السِّتْرَ وَ الْعَفَافَ وَ اسْتُرْنِي فِيهِ بِلِبَاسِ الْقُنُوعِ وَ الْكَفَافِ وَ حَلِّنِي فِيهِ بِحُلِيِّ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْإِنْصَافِ بِعِصْمَتِكَ يَا عِصْمَةَ الْخَائِفِينَ.

Another supplication – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Adorn for me during it, the veil, and the chastity, and the Cover me in it with an apparel of contentment and the sufficiency, and Garment me in it with a garment of Grace and the fairness with You^-azwj Protection, O Protector of the fearful!’’[76]

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ قَدْ سَقَطَ مِنْهُ أَدْعِيَةُ لَيَالٍ فَنَقَلْنَا مَا بَقِيَ مِنْهَا وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, and there have been dropped from it supplicating of nights. We are transmitting what remains from these, and it is a supplication of the thirteenth night –

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَجُودُ فَلَا يَبْخَلُ وَ يَحْلُمُ فَلَا يُعَجِّلُ الَّذِي مَنَّ عَلَيَّ مِنْ تَوْحِيدِهِ بِأَعْظَمِ الْمِنَّةِ وَ نَدَبَنِي مِنْ صَالِحِ الْعَمَلِ إِلَى خَيْرِ الْمِهْنَةِ وَ أَمَرَنِي بِالدُّعَاءِ فَدَعَوْتُهُ

‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who is Generous so is not withholding, and He^-azwj is Forbearing so is not hasty, Who Confers upon me from His^-azwj Oneness as the mightiest of conferment, and Guided me from the righteous deeds to the best of Tests, and Commanded me with the supplication, so I supplicated to Him^-azwj!

فَوَجَدْتُهُ غِيَاثاً عِنْدَ شَدَائِدِي وَ أَدْرَكْتُهُ لَمْ يُبَعِّدْنِي بِالْإِجَابَةِ حِينَ بَعُدَ مَدَاهُ وَ لَا حَرَمَنِيَ الِانْتِيَاشَ لِمَا عَمِلْتُ مَا لَا يَرْضَاهُ أَقَالَنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ قَضَى لِي حَاجَتِي وَ تَدَارَكَ قِيَامِي وَ عَجَّلَ مَعُونَتِي فَزَادَنِي خُبْرَةً بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ عِلْماً بِنُفُوذِ مَشِيَّتِهِ

I found Him^-azwj a Helper during my adversities, and I realised He^-azwj does not Distance me with the Response when its term was far, and he^-azwj did not Deprive me of the relief when I had worked what did not Please Him^-azwj! He^-azwj Uprooted me from my stumbles, and Fulfilled my needs for me, and Caught up my standing, and Hastened my provision. It increased me the awareness by His^-azwj Power, and knowledge by Implementing His^-azwj Desire!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا جُدْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَ التَّوْحِيدِ دُونَهُ وَ إِنْ كَثُرَ وَ غَيْرُ مُوَازٍ لَهُ وَ إِنْ كَبُرَ لِأَنَّ جَمِيعَهُ نِعَمُ دَارِ الْفَنَاءِ الْمُرْتَجِعَةُ وَ هُوَ النِّعْمَةُ لِدَارِ الْبَقَاءِ الَّتِي لَيْسَتْ بِمُنْقَطِعَةٍ فَيَا مَنْ جَادَ بِذَلِكَ مُخْتَصّاً لِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ وَفَّقَنِي لِلْعَمَلِ بِمَا يَقْضِي حَقَّ يَدِكَ فِي هِبَتِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! All what You^-azwj have been Generous with upon me after the Oneness is below it, and even if more, and without equal for it even it great, because all of it is a bounty for the House of perishing (world), to be returned while it is the bounty of the House of remaining which will not terminate! O the One^-azwj Who was Generous with that specifically for me with His^-azwj Mercy, and Harmonised me for the work which fulfils the right of Your^-azwj Favour regarding His^-azwj gifts!

اللَّهُمَّ بَيِّضْ أَعْمَالِي بِنُورِ الْهُدَى وَ لَا تُسَوِّدْهَا بِتَخْلِيَتِي وَ رُكُوبِ الْهَوَى فَأَطْغَى فِيمَنْ طَغَى وَ أُقَارِفَ مَا يُسْخِطُكَ بَعْدَ الرِّضَا وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً كَثِيراً.

O Allah^-azwj! Brighten my deeds with the light of Guidance and do not darken it due to my mingling and indulging in the whims, so I would be arrogant among the arrogant ones, and perpetrate what Angers You^-azwj after the Satisfaction, and You^-azwj are Able upon all things, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant greetings!’’[77]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّالِثَةَ عَشَرَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا اللَّهُ يَا مُهَيْمِنُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا مُتَكَبِّرُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا مُتَعَالِ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا مُعِيدُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

Another supplication during the thirteenth night – ‘O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, O Dominant! O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Great! O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Exalted! O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Repeater! O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O with the Majestic and the Benevolence!

يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبِّ يَا مَنْ أَظْهَرَ الْجَمِيلَ وَ سَتَرَ الْقَبِيحَ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يُؤَاخِذْ بِالْجَرِيرَةِ وَ لَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ يَا كَرِيمَ الْعَفْوِ يَا حَسَنَ التَّجَاوُزِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ

O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O the One^-azwj Who Reveals the beautiful and Conceals the Ugly! O the One^-azwj Who Does not Seize for the crimes, and does not Violate the veil! O Benevolent of the Pardon, O Excellent of the Overlooking, O Capacious of the Forgiveness, O Extender with the Mercy!

يَا خَلِيلَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ نَجِيَّ مُوسَى وَ مُصْطَفِيَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صُمْتُهُ لَكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ سَلْ مَا شِئْتَ وَ ظُنَّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدِ اسْتَجَابَ لَكَ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

O Friend of Ibrahim^-as and Rescuer of Musa^-as and Chooser of Muhammad^-saww, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Liberate me from the Hellfire in this mighty month, and do not Make it last month of Ramazan I Fast for You^-azwj, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones’ – and ask whatever you desire to and think that Allah^-azwj the Exalted has already Answered for you, if Allah^-azwj so Desires!’’[78]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص‏ يَا جَبَّارَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ جَبَّارَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَا مَنْ لَهُ مَلَكُوتُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَلَكُوتُ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ غَفَّارَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ الْغَفُورُ الْحَلِيمُ الرَّحِيمُ الصَّمَدُ الْفَرْدُ الَّذِي لَا شَبِيهَ لَكَ وَ لَا وَلِيَّ لَكَ

Another supplication during this night, reported from Rasool-Allah^-saww: ‘O Subduer of the skies and Subduer of the earths, and O the One^-azwj for Him^-azwj are Domains of the skies and domains of the earths, and Forgiver of the sins, and the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing, the Forbearing, the Merciful, the Individual which there is no resemblance for You^-azwj nor is there a guardian for You^-azwj!

أَنْتَ الْعَلِيُّ الْأَعْلَى وَ الْقَدِيرُ الْقَادِرُ وَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

You^-azwj are the most Exalted, and most Powerful, and You^-azwj are the Oft-turning, the Merciful! I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me, and Mercy me, surely You^-azwj are the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[79]

أقول: و قد قدمنا في عمل شهر رجب عملا جسيما في الليالي البيض منه و من شعبان و شهر الصيام فتؤخذ من ليالي البيض من رجب بتفصيلها فهي مذكورة هناك على التمام فإنها من المهام لذوي الأفهام و هذه الرواية رويناها عن الصادق ع في الليالي البيض من رجب بأسنادها و فضلها و لكن ذلك الجزء منفرد فربما لا يتفق حضوره عند العامل بهذا الكتاب فنذكر هاهنا صفة هذه الصلاة

I say, ‘We have previously presented a significant act of worship for the white nights of Rajab, Shaban, and the month of Fasting (Ramazan). The detailed description of the bright nights of Rajab is provided there completely, as it is important for those with understanding. We have narrated this tradition Al-Sadiq^-asws regarding the bright nights of Rajab, along with its chain of transmission and merits. However, that section stands alone, and it may not always be readily available to the one using this book. Therefore, we will mention here only the description of this Salat.

فحسب فنقول إنه يصلي ليلة ثلاث عشرة من شهر رمضان ركعتين كل ركعة بالحمد مرة و سورة يس و قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ كل واحدة مرة و في ليلة أربع عشرة منه أربع ركعات بهذه الصفة و في ليلة خمس عشرة منه ست ركعات بهذه الصفة.

We say that on the night of the 13^th of Ramazan, one prays two units Salat reciting Surah Al Fatiha once in each unit, followed by Surah Yaseen and Surah Al Ikhlas each once. On the night of the 14^th, four units are prayed in the same manner, and on the night of the 15th, six units are prayed in the same manner’.

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَتِكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَبِيبِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ وَلَايَةِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ سِبْطَيْ نَبِيِّكَ وَ سَيِّدَيْ شَبَابِ أَهْلِ جَنَّتِكَ

وَ أَدِينُكَ يَا رَبِّ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَ سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ صَاحِبِ الزَّمَانِ

And I approach You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, with Wilayah of Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, and Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, and Musa^-asws Bin Ja’far^-asws, and Ali^-asws Bin Musa^-asws, and Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, and Ali^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws, and Al-Hassan^-asws Bin Ali^-asws, and my chief and my master, Master of the times (Al-Qaim^-ajfj)!

أَدِينُكَ يَا رَبِّ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ بِالتَّسْلِيمِ بِمَا فَضَّلْتَهُمْ رَاضِياً غَيْرَ مُنْكِرٍ وَ لَا مُتَكَبِّرٍ عَلَى مَعْنَى مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ

I approach You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, by obeying them^-asws and their^-asws Wilayah, and with the submission with what You^-azwj have Merited them, satisfied not denying, nor arrogant upon the meaning of what You^-azwj have Revealed in Your^-azwj Book!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْفَعْ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَ خَلِيفَتِكَ وَ لِسَانِكَ وَ الْقَائِمِ بِقِسْطِكَ وَ الْمُعَظِّمِ لِحُرْمَتِكَ وَ الْمُعَبِّرِ عَنْكَ وَ النَّاطِقِ بِحُكْمِكَ وَ عَيْنِكَ النَّاظِرَةِ وَ أُذُنِكَ السَّامِعَةِ وَ شَاهِدِ عِبَادِكَ وَ حُجَّتِكَ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ الْمُجْتَهِدِ فِي طَاعَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Raise from Your^-azwj guardian, and Your^-azwj caliph, and Your^-azwj tongue, and the one standing with Your^-azwj Fairness, and the revering of Your^-azwj Sanctity, and the expresser on Your^-azwj behalf, and the speaking with Your^-azwj Wisdom, and Your^-azwj beholding Eye, and Your^-azwj listening Ear, and Witness of Your^-azwj servants, and Your^-azwj Argument upon Your^-azwj creatures, and the fighter in Your^-azwj way, and the struggle in obedience to You^-azwj!

وَ اجْعَلْهُ فِي وَدِيعَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَضِيعُ وَ أَيِّدْهُ بِجُنْدِكَ الْغَالِبِ وَ أَعِنْهُ وَ أَعِنْ عَنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْنِي وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ مَا وَلَدَا وَ وُلْدِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ يَنْصُرُونَهُ وَ يَنْتَصِرُونَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ اشْعَبْ بِهِ صَدْعَنَا وَ ارْتُقْ بِهِ فَتْقَنَا

And Make him^-asws in Your^-azwj depository which is not waster, and Assist him^-asws with Your^‑azwj prevailing army, and Support him^-asws, and Assist on his^-asws behalf, and Make me and my parents and what they beget, and my children from those helping him^-asws and are being victorious with him^-asws in the world and the Hereafter! Heal our rift and Men our fissure!

اللَّهُمَّ أَمِتْ بِهِ الْجَوْرَ وَ دَمْدِمْ بِمَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ وَ اقْصِمْ رُءُوسَ الضَّلَالَةِ حَتَّى لَا تَدَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً.

O Allah^-azwj! Through him^-ajfj, put an end to injustice, and destroy those who set up a trap for him^-ajfj, and crush the heads of misguidance until You^-azwj do not Leave a single one of them on the earth!’’[80]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ طَهِّرْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الدَّنَسِ وَ الْأَقْذَار وَ صَبِّرْنِي فِيهِ عَلَى كَائِنَاتِ الْأَقْدَارِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ عَلَى الْتُّقَى وَ صُحْبَةِ الْأَبْرَارِ بِعِزَّتِكَ يَا قُرَّةَ عَيْنِ الْمَسَاكِينِ.

Another supplication – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Purify me during it from the dirt and the impurities, and Make me patient in it with the coming of fates, and Harmonise me in it upon the piety and accompaniment of the righteous, by Your^-azwj Might O Delight of eyes of the needy ones!’’[81]

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ الرَّابِعَةَ عَشَرَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَجُودُ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ فَيُوَسِّعُهَا بِمَشِيَّتِهِ ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرُهَا إِلَى نِعَمِهِ وَ أَيَادِيهِ-وَ لِيُبَيِّنَ فِيهَا لِلنَّاظِرِينَ أَثَرَ صَنِيعِهِ وَ الْمُتَأَمِّلِينَ دَقَائِقَ حِكْمَتِهِ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, and it is a supplication of the night of the fourteenth – ‘Glorious is the One Generous upon me with His^-azwj Mercy, Expanding it by His^-azwj Desire, and then Reduces it to His^-azwj bounties and Favours, that He^-azwj may Show through it to the observers the effects of His^-azwj deeds and to those who reflect, the subtleties of His^-azwj Wisdom!

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ مُتَفَرِّداً بِخَلْقِهِ بِغَيْرِ مُعِينٍ وَ جَاعِلًا جَمِيعَ أَفْعَالِهِ وَاحِداً بِلَا ظَهِيرٍ عَرَفَتْهُ الْقُلُوبُ بِضَمَائِرِهَا وَ الْأَفْكَارُ بِخَوَاطِرِهَا وَ النُّفُوسُ بِسَرَائِرِهَا وَ طَلَبَتْهُ التَّحْصِيلَاتُ فَفَاتَهَا وَ اعْتَرَضَتْهُ الْمَفْعُولَاتُ فَأَطَاعَهَا فَهُوَ الْقَرِيبُ السَّمِيعُ وَ الْحَاضِرُ الْمُرْتَفِعُ

I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^-azwj, Unique with His^-azwj creation without assistance, and Maker of entirety of His^-azwj Actions without a backer! The hearts recognise Him^-azwj with their consciences, and the thoughts with their occurrences, and the souls with their secrets, and those who seek to fully comprehend Him^‑azwj have missed Him^-azwj, and those who encounter His^-azwj creations find that they obey Him^-azwj! He^-azwj is the Near, the All-Hearing, and the Present, the Exalted!

اللَّهُمَّ هَذِهِ أَضْوَأُ وَ أَنْوَرُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِكَ وَ أَزْيَنُهَا وَ أَحْصَاهَا بِضَوْءِ بَدْرِكَ بَسَطْتَ فِيهَا لَوَامِعَهُ وَ ارْتَعَجَتْ فِي أَرْضِكَ شُعَاعُهُ وَ هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ آخِرُ سَبْعِينَ مَضَيَا مِنَ الصِّيَامِ وَ أَوَّلُ سَبْعِينَ بَقِيَا مِنْ عَدَدِ الْأَيَّامِ

O Allah^-azwj! This is the most illuminating, and the most radiant of night of Your^-azwj month, and their most adorned, and their most illuminated by the light of Your^-azwj full moon. You^-azwj have Spread its gleams, and its rays tremble across Your^-azwj earth. It is the night marking the end of seventy days that have passed in Fasting and the beginning of seventy days that remain in the count of days!

اللَّهُمَّ فَوَسِّعْ لِي فِيهَا نُورَ عَفْوِكَ وَ ابْسُطْهُ وَ امْحَصْ عَنِّي ظُلَمَ سَخَطِكَ وَ اقْبِضْهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Expand for me during it, the Light of Your^-azwj Pardon, and Remove from me darkness of Your^-azwj Wrath and Grip it!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ جُودَكَ وَ نِعَمَكَ يُصْلِحَانِ رَجَائِي وَ إِنَّ صِيَانَتَكَ وَ مُحَاصَّتَكَ يَكْشِفَانِ بَالِي وَ مَا أَنْتَ بِضُرِّي مُنْتَفِعٌ فَأَتَّهِمَكَ بِالتَّوَفُّرِ عَلَى مَنْفَعَتِكَ وَ لَا بِمَا يَنْفَعُنِي مَضْرُورٌ فَأَسْتَحْيِيَكَ مِنِ الْتِمَاسِ مَضَرَّتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Indeed, Your^-azwj Generosity and bounties sustain my hope, and Your^-azwj Protection and care and relieve my distress. You^-azwj do not benefit from my hardship that I would look to You^-azwj of seeking gain, nor are You^-azwj harmed by what benefits me, so that I would feel ashamed to ask You^-azwj for harm.

فَكَيْفَ يَبْخَلُ مَنْ لَا حَاجَةَ بِهِ إِلَى عَفْوِ مَعْبُودٍ عَلَى عَبْدِهِ مُضْطَرٍّ إِلَى عَفْوِهِ أَمْ كَيْفَ يَسْمَحُ وَ قَدْ جَادَ لَهُ بِهِدَايَتِهِ أَنْ يُخَلِّيَهُ وَ يَقْحُمَ سُبُلَ ضَلَالَتِهِ كَلَّا إِنَّكَ الْأَكْرَمُ يَا مَوْلَايَ مِنْ ذَاكَ وَ أَرْأَفُ وَ أَحْنَى وَ أَعْطَفُ

How could One who has no need for the pardoning of His^-azwj servant be withholding towards him when that servant is in desperate need of His^-azwj Forgiveness? Or how could You^‑azwj, after having Guided him, Abandon him to the paths of misguidance? Never! You^-azwj are too Generous, O my Master, to do that, and too Kind, Compassionate, and Caring.

اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ بِعَمَلٍ لِي صَالِحٍ تَرْضَى مَطَاوِيَهُ وَ يُبْهِجُنِي فِي آخِرَتِي بِمَنَاشِرِهِ وَ أَمْضَاهَا بِالْعَفْوِ عَنِّي فِي أَوَّلِ الشَّهْرِ وَ آخِرِهِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً.

O Allah^-azwj, seal this night with a good deed for me, one that pleases You^-azwj in its entirety and brings me joy in the Hereafter through its Reward, and conclude this month with Forgiveness for me, at both its beginning and its end, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones, O Beneficent, O Beneficent, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and abundant greetings!’’[82]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ بِرِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَيْهِ‏ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

Another supplication during this night reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’, we are reporting by our chain to him – ‘O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful, O All-Knowing, O Living, O Eternal!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَمَلِي شَيْئاً إِنِّي مِنْ عَمَلِي خَائِفٌ إِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مَا أَسْأَلُكَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ تَقَبَّلْ صَوْمِي وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ ارْحَمْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I do not ask You^-azwj of anything due to my deeds, I am fearful of my deeds. But rather I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Mercy what I ask You^-azwj, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^‑saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Gift to me from obedience to You^-azwj what would Please You^-azwj with me and Accept my Fasting, and Grace upon me with Your^-azwj Mercy and Mercy me with Your^-azwj Mercy!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ رُوحِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ وَ كَلَامِكَ الطَّيِّبِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الدَّائِمِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ سُلْطَانِكَ الْمُنِيرِ وَ قُرْآنِكَ الْحَكِيمِ وَ عَطَائِكَ الْجَلِيلِ الْجَزِيلِ

O Allah^-azwj! I supplicate to You^-azwj, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj most excellent Names, and by Your^-azwj Magnificent Name, and Your^-azwj Honourable Face, and Your^-azwj Holy Spirit, and Your^-azwj goodly Word, and Your^-azwj permanent Mighty Kingdom, and Your^-azwj radiant Authority, and Your^-azwj Wise Quran, and Your^-azwj majestic awards, the plentiful!

وَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَيْتَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ فَإِنِّي فَقِيرٌ مِسْكِينٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

And (I ask You^-azwj) by Your^-azwj Name which when supplicated with, You^-azwj Answer, and when You^-azwj are requested with, You^-azwj Give, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Liberate me from the Hellfire in this Blessed month, for I am poor, need to Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[83]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ يَا أَوَّلَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ يَا آخِرَ الْآخِرِينَ يَا وَلِيَّ الْأَوْلِيَاءِ وَ جَبَّارَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً وَ أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِالطَّاعَةِ فَأَطَعْتُ

Another supplication in this night – ‘O First of the former ones, and O Last of the latter ones! O Guardian of the guardians, and Subduer of the tyrants, and O God^-azwj of the former ones! You^-azwj Created me and I was not anything, and You^-azwj Commanded me being obedient, so I obeyed You^-azwj!

سَيِّدِي جُهْدِي فَإِنْ كُنْتُ تَوَانَيْتُ أَوْ أَخْطَأْتُ أَوْ نَسِيتُ فَتَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ سَيِّدِي وَ لَا تَقْطَعْ رَجَائِي فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ص وَ اغْفِرْ لِي‏ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

My Chief, my efforts, if I have procrastinated, or mistaken, or forgotten, so Grace upon me, my Chief, and do not cut off my hopes! Confer upon me with the Mercy, and Gather between me and the Prophet^-saww of Mercy, Muhammad^-saww Bin Abdullah^-as, and Forgive for me, surely You^-azwj are the Oft-turning, the Merciful!’’[84]

فصل فيما نذكره مما يختص باليوم الرابع عشر من دعاء غير متكرر

SECTION REGARDING WHAT SUPPLICATION WE ARE MENTIONING FROM WHAT IS SPECIFIC WITH THE FOURTEENTH DAY, WITHOUT REPETITION

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِعُقُوبَتِكَ وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِي فِي حِيلَتِكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ الْخَيْرُ وَ لَا يُوجَدُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ النَّجَاةُ وَ لَا تُسْتَطَاعُ إِلَّا بِكَ- لَا الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ عَوْنِكَ وَ لَا الَّذِي أَسَاءَ خَرَجَ عَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Discipline me with Your^-azwj Punishment, nor Plan against me in You^-azwj through Your^-azwj Schemes, from where can the goodness be for me and it cannot be found except from Your^-azwj Possession, and from where can the salvation be for me and it is not possible except with You^-azwj! Neither is the one who does good deeds needless from Your^-azwj Assistance, nor the one who does evil deeds exit from Your^-azwj Power!

يَا رَبِّ بِكَ عَرَفْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ دَلِيلِي وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْتَ مَا دَرَيْتُ مَنْ أَنْتَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَدْعُوهُ فَيُجِيبُنِي وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ بَطِيئاً حِينَ يَدْعُونِي

O Lord^-azwj, through You^-azwj I recognised You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are my Pointer (Guide), and had it not been for You^-azwj I would not have known who You^-azwj are! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whom I call to so He^-azwj Answers me, and even thought I had delayed when He^-azwj Called me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَسْأَلُهُ فَيُعْطِينِي وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ بَخِيلًا حِينَ يَسْتَقْرِضُنِي وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَكَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَأَكْرَمَنِي وَ لَمْ يَكِلْنِي إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيُهِينُونِي وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي تَحَبَّبَ إِلَيَّ وَ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whom I ask so He^-azwj Gives me and even though I was stingy when He^-azwj Seeks my loan, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Allocate me to Him^-azwj, so He^‑azwj Honoured me, and did not Allocate me to the people so they would demean me, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who is beloved to Me^-azwj and is needless from me!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا أَجِدُ شَافِعاً إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا مَعْرِفَتِي بِأَنَّكَ أَفْضَلُ مَنْ قَصَدَ إِلَيْهِ الْمُضْطَرُّونَ أَسْأَلُكَ مُقِرّاً بِأَنَّ لَكَ الطَّوْلَ وَ الْقُوَّةَ وَ الْحَوْلَ وَ الْقُدْرَةَ أَنْ تَحُطَّ عَنِّي وِزْرِيَ الَّذِي قَدْ حَنَى ظَهْرِي وَ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنَ الْهَوَى الْمُسَلَّطِ عَلَى عَقْلِي وَ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنَ الَّذِينَ انْتَجَبْتَهُمْ لِطَاعَتِكَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! I cannot find an intercessor to You^-azwj except my recognition because You^-azwj are the Best the desperate ones can aim to! I ask You^-azwj accepting that for You^-azwj is the Leniency, and the Strength, and the Might, and the Power, to Drop off my burdens from me which have bent my back, and Protect me from the whims prevailing upon my intellect, and Make me from those whom You^-azwj have Selected for obeying You^-azwj!’’[85]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِالْعَثَرَاتِ وَ أَقِلْنِي فِيهِ الْخَطَايَا وَ الْهَفَوَاتِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي غَرَضاً لِلْبَلَايَا وَ الْآفَاتِ بِعِزَّتِكَ يَا عِزَّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Seize me for the stumbles and Uproot my sins and the mistakes in it, and do not Make me a target for the afflictions and the disasters, by Your^-azwj Mighty, of Might of the Muslims!’’[86]

منها الغسل كما قدمناه و منها مائة ركعة في كل ركعة عشر مرات‏ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ و منها زيارة الحسين ع فيها و صلاة عشر ركعات و ما نختاره من عدة روايات‏ في الدعوات.

From these is the ritual bath, as we have previously mentioned, and one hundred units of Salat in each unit reciting Surah Al Tawheed ten times. Among visiting Al-Husayn^-asws during it, and Salat of ten units, and what we have chosen from a number of reports regarding the supplications.

أَمَّا الْغُسْلُ فَرَوَيْنَاهُ عَنِ الشَّيْخِ الْمُفِيدِ وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ يُسْتَحَبُّ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

As for the ritual bath, we are reporting from the Sheykh Al-Mufeed, and in a report from Abu Abdullah^-asws, it is recommended, the night middle of a month of Ramazan.[87]

وَ أَمَّا الْمِائَةُ رَكْعَةٍ فَإِنَّهَا مَرْوِيَّةٌ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص‏ مَنْ صَلَّى لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْهِ عَشَرَةَ أَمْلَاكٍ يَدْرَءُونَ عَنْهُ أَعْدَاءَهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ أَهْبَطَ اللَّهُ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ ثَلَاثِينَ مَلَكاً يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ مَلَكاً يُؤْمِنُونَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.

And as for the one hundred units of Salat reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws, from his^-asws father^-asws, from Amir Al-Momineen Ali^-asws Bin Abu Talib^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww said: ‘One who prays during the night middle of a month of Ramazan one hundred units Salat, reading each unit Surah Al Tawheed ten times, Allah^-azwj will Send down Angels to him repelling from him his enemies from the Jinn and the humans, and Allah^-azwj will Send down thirty Angels at his death, giving him glad tidings with that Paradise, and thirty Angels securing him from the Hellfire!’’[88]

وَ ذَكَرَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى‏ أَنَّ مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى فِي مَنَامِهِ مِائَةً مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ ثَلَاثِينَ يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ يُؤْمِنُونَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ ثَلَاثِينَ يَعْصِمُونَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يُخْطِئَ وَ عَشَرَةً يَكِيدُونَ مَنْ كَادَهُ.

And Ibn Abu Qurra mentioned in another report, ‘One who prays this Salat will not die until he sees one hundred Angels in his sleep – thirty giving him glad tidings of the Paradise, and thirty securing him from the Hellfire, and thirty protecting him from erring, and ten (Angels) planning against the one plotting against him’’.[89]

و أما زيارة الحسين ع في ليلة النصف من شهر رمضان فقد قدمنا في أوائل كتابنا هذا رواية بذلك و روينا بإسنادنا رواية أخرى و صلاة عشر ركعات

And as for visiting (grave of) Al-Husayn^-asws during the night middle of a month of Ramazan, we have forwarded in the beginning of this book of ours this report with that, and we are reporting by our chain another report, and Salat of ten units.

عَنْ أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِنَا مِنْ كِتَابِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيِّ فِي حَدِيثٍ يَقُولُ فِيهِ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ قِيلَ لَهُ فَمَا تَرَى لِمَنْ حَضَرَ قَبْرَهُ يَعْنِي الْحُسَيْنَ ع- لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

From Abu Al-Mufazzal Al-Shaybani , by our chain from the book of Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al-Nahdy, in a Hadeeth saying in it, from Al-Sadiq^-asws, it was said to him^-asws, ‘What is your^-asws view of the one who attends his^-asws grave, meaning Al-Husayn^-asws, on the night middle of a month of Ramazan?’

فَقَالَ بَخْ بَخْ مَنْ صَلَّى عِنْدَ قَبْرِهِ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ بَعْدِ الْعِشَاءِ مِنْ غَيْرِ صَلَاةِ اللَّيْلِ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ اسْتَجَارَ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ عَتِيقاً مِنَ النَّارِ وَ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى يَرَى فِي مَنَامِهِ مَلَائِكَةً يُبَشِّرُونَهُ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ مَلَائِكَةً يُؤْمِنُونَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ.

He^-asws said: ‘Congratulations! Congratulations to the one who prays by his^-asws grace, on night of the middle of a month of Ramazan, ten units of Salat from after Al-Isha, other than the night Salat, reading in each unit with Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Tawheed ten times, and seeks shelter with Allah^-azwj from the Hellfire, Allah^-azwj will write him as being liberated from the Hellfire, and he will not die until he sees in his dream Angels giving him glad tidings of the Paradise, and Angels securing him from the Hellfire!’’[90]

و أما الدعوات فمنها ما وجدناه في كتب أصحابنا رحمهم الله العتيقة و قد سقط منه أدعية ليال و هو دعاء الليلة الخامسة عشر.

And as for the supplication, from these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, may Allah^-azwj Mercy them, and supplications of nights have been dropped from it, and it is a supplication of the night of the fifteenth.

سُبْحَانَ مُقَلِّبِ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ سُبْحَانَ مُقَلِّبِ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ خَالِقِ الْأَزْمِنَةِ وَ الْأَعْصَارِ الْمُجْرَى عَلَى مَشِيَّتِهِ الْأَقْدَارُ الَّذِي لَا بَقَاءَ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ سِوَاهُ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَعْتَوِرُهُ الْفَنَاءُ غَيْرَهُ فَهُوَ الْحَيُّ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Glorious is Turner of the hearts and the sights! Glorious is Turner of the night and the day, and Creator of the times and the eras, the Determinations flow upon His^-azwj Desire, the One Who there is no lasting for anything besides Him^-azwj, and all things are subject to perish apart from Him^-azwj! He^-azwj is the Living, the Lasting, the Permanent! Blessed is Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَ‏ قَدِ انْتَصَفَ شَهْرُ الصِّيَامِ بِمَا مَضَى مِنْ أَيَّامِهِ وَ انْجَذَبَ إِلَى تَمَامِهِ وَ اخْتِتَامِهِ وَ مَا لِي عُدَّةٌ أَعْتَدُّ بِهَا وَ لَا أَعْمَالٌ مِنَ الصَّالِحَاتِ أُعَوِّلُ عَلَيْهَا سِوَى إِيمَانِي بِكَ وَ رَجَائِي لَكَ فَأَمَّا رَجَائِي فَيُكَدِّرُهُ عَلَيَّ صَفْوَةُ الْخَوْفِ مِنْكَ وَ أَمَّا إِيمَانِي فَلَا يَضِيعُ عِنْدَكَ وَ هُوَ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! The month of Fasting, half of its days have gone, and it is going to its completion and its end, and there is no preparation for me I have prepared with, nor from the righteous deeds I can be relying upon besides by belief in You^-azwj and my hopes for You^-azwj! As for my hopes, those are clouded by the essence of fear of You^-azwj, and as for my belief, it is not wasted in Your^-azwj Possession, and it is by Your^‑azwj Inclination!

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حِينَ لَمْ تَفْكُكْ يَدِي عِنْدَ التَّمَاسُكِ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى وَ لَمْ تُشْقِنِي بِمُفَارَقَتِهَا فِيمَنِ اعْتَوَرَهُ الشَّقَاءُ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise when You^-azwj did not Let go of my hand at the adhering with the Firmest Handhold, and You^-azwj did not Make me wretched with its separation, among the ones covered with the wretchedness!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَنْصِفْنِي مِنْ شَهَوَاتِي وَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهَا الشَّكْوَى وَ مِنْكَ عَلَيْهَا أُؤَمِّلُ الْعَدْوَى فَإِنَّكَ تَشَاءُ وَ تَقْدِرُ وَ أَشَاءُ وَ لَا أَقْدِرُ وَ لَسْتُ إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي مَحْجُوجاً وَ لَكِنَّ مَسْئُولًا تُرْجَى وَ مَخُوفاً يُتَّقَى تُحْصِي وَ نَنْسَى وَ بِيَدِكَ حُلْوُ وَ مُرُّ الْقَضَاءِ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant me justice from my lustful desires, and to You^-azwj is the complained from it, and from You^-azwj I hope upon it for the deliverance, for You^-azwj Desire, and Determine, and Grow, and I am not able! My God^-azwj and my Chief, and I am not with an argument but I am requesting hopefully, and fearing, awed! You^-azwj Enumerate and we forget, and in Your^-azwj Hand is sweetness and the bitterness of the Decree!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَذِقْنِي حَلَاوَةَ عَفْوِكَ وَ لَا تُجَرِّعْنِي غُصَصَ سَخَطِكَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Make me taste sweetness of Your^-azwj Pardon, and do not Make me swallow Your^‑azwj choking Wrath, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Pure Progeny, I most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[91]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنْ رِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ يَا مَنْ أَظْهَرَ الْجَمِيلَ وَ سَتَرَ الْقَبِيحَ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يُؤَاخِذْ بِالْجَرِيرَةِ وَ لَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ يَا عَظِيمَ الْعَفْوِ يَا حَسَنَ التَّجَاوُزِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ يَا صَاحِبَ كُلِّ نَجْوَى وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ شَكْوَى يَا مُقِيلَ الْعَثَرَاتِ يَا مُجِيبَ الدَّعَوَاتِ يَا مُبْتَدِئاً بِالنِّعَمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدَاهْ يَا مَوْلَاهْ يَا غَايَةَ رَغْبَتَاهْ

Another supplication during this night from a report by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in his book, ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O the One^-azwj Who Reveals the beautiful and Conceals the ugliness!

O Mighty of the Pardon, O Excellent of the Overlooking, O Vast of the Forgiveness, O Extender of the Hands with the Mercy, and O Companion of every whisper and Ultimate of every complain! O Uprooter of the stumbles, O Responder to the supplications, O Initiator with the bounties before it is deserved! O Lord^-azwj, O Chief, O Master, O Peak of the desires!

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تُشَوِّهَ خَلْقِي فِي النَّارِ ثُمَّ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ

I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and do not Grill my skin in the Hellfire!’ – then ask your need, it shall be fulfilled, if Allah^-azwj so Desires.

زِيَادَةٌ- اللَّهُمَّ يَا مُفَرِّجَ كُلِّ هَمٍّ يَا مُنَفِّسَ كُلِّ كَرْبٍ وَ يَا صَاحِبَ كُلِّ وَحِيدٍ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ ضُرِّ أَيُّوبَ وَ سَامِعَ صَوْتِ يُونُسَ الْمَكْرُوبِ وَ فَالِقَ الْبَحْرِ لِمُوسَى وَ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ مُنْجِيَ مُوسَى وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ أَجْمَعِينَ

Additional – ‘O Allah^-azwj, O Reliever of every worry, O Ultimate of every distress, and O Companion of every lonely, and O Remover of harms from Ayoub^-as, and Listener to the distressed voice of Yunus^-as, and Splitter of the sea for Musa^-as and children of Israel, and Rescuer of Musa^-as and the ones with him^-as, altogether!

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُيَسِّرَ لِي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْعَظِيمِ الَّذِي تُعْتِقُ فِيهِ الرِّقَابَ وَ تَغْفِرُ فِيهِ الذُّنُوبَ مَا أَخَافُ عُسْرَهُ وَ تُسَهِّلُ لِي مَا أَخَافُ حُزُونَتَهُ يَا غِيَاثِي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي وَ يَا صَاحِبِي عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي يَا عِصْمَةَ الْخَائِفِ الْمُسْتَجِيرِ يَا رَازِقَ الْبَائِسِ‏ الْفَقِيرِ يَا مُغِيثَ الْمَقْهُورِ الضَّرِيرِ يَا مُطْلِقَ الْمُكَبَّلِ الْأَسِيرِ وَ مُخَلِّصَ الْمَسْجُونِ الْمَكْرُوبِ

I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Ease for me in this mighty month in which You^-azwj Liberate the necks, and Forgive the sins in it what I am fearing its difficulty, and Facilitate for me what I fear its grief! O my Helper during my distress, and O my Companions during my adversities! O Protection of the fearful, the seekers of shelter, O Provider to the destitute, the poor, O Helper of the coerced, the harmed, O Freer of the shackled captive, and Rescuer of the imprisoned, the distressed!

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ الْخَامِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الْإِحْسَانِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا ذَا الْجُودِ وَ الْإِفْضَالِ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ظَهْرَ اللَّاجِينَ وَ أَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ

Supplication of the fifteenth day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O with the Conferment and the Favours! O Possessor of the Majesty and the Benevolence! O Possessor of the Generosity and the Grace! O Possessor of the Leniency! O, there is no god except You^-azwj Refuge of the refugees, and Security of the fearful!

إِنْ كُنْتَ كَتَبْتَنِي فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقِيّاً فَاكْتُبْنِي عِنْدَكَ سَعِيداً مُوَفَّقاً لِلْخَيْرِ وَ امْحُ اسْمَ الشَّقَاءِ عَنِّي فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلْتَ عَلَى نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ- يَمْحُوا اللَّهُ ما يَشاءُ وَ يُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَهُ أُمُّ الْكِتابِ‏

If You^-azwj have Written me in Mother of the Book as wretched, so Write me as fortunate in Your^-azwj Presence, harmonised to the good, and Delete the name ‘wretched’ from me, for You^-azwj Said in the Book which You^-azwj Revealed unto Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws: Allah Deletes and Affirms whatever He so Desires to, and with Him is the Mother of the Book [13:39]!

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي طَيِّباً وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي صَالِحاً

O Allah^-azwj! Grave me goodness and Utilise me for righteous deeds!

اللَّهُمَّ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِالرِّزْقِ الْوَاسِعِ الْحَلَالِ الطَّيِّبِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَكُونُ لَكَ الْمِنَّةُ عَلَيَّ وَ تَكُونُ لِي غِنًى عَنْ خَلْقِكَ خَالِصاً لَيْسَ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ مِنْهُ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِينَ وَ لَا تَفْضَحْنِي يَوْمَ التَّلَاقِي

O Allah^-azwj! Confer upon me abundant, lawful, and pure sustenance through Your^-azwj Mercy, so that the Conferment is from You^-azwj upon me, and I am in no need of Your^-azwj creation, a sustenance that comes solely from You^-azwj without anyone else. Make me among the ones grateful for it, and do not Disgrace me on the Day of Meeting (Qiyamah)!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ السَّعَةَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ السَّرَفِ فِيهَا وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الزُّهْدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْحِرْصِ عَلَيْهَا وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْغِنَى فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْفَقْرِ فِيهَا

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for vastness in the world, and I seek refuge with You^-azwj from the extravagance in it, and I ask You^-azwj for the asceticism in the world, and I seek refuge with You^-azwj from the greed upon it, and I ask You^-azwj for the riches in the world, and I seek refuge with You^-azwj from the poverty in it!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ بَسَطْتَ عَلَيَّ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَزَهِّدْنِي فِيهَا وَ إِنْ قَتَّرْتَ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي فَلَا تُرَغِّبْنِي فِيهَا.

O Allah^-azwj! If You^-azwj were to Extend upon me in the world, then Make me ascetic in it, and if Your^-azwj Restrict my sustenance upon me, do not Make me desirous in it!’’[94]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهِ طَاعَةَ الْخَاشِعِينَ وَ أَشْعِرْ فِيهِ قَلْبِي‏ إِنَابَةَ الْمُخْبِتِينَ بِأَمْنِكَ يَا أَمَانَ الْخَائِفِينَ.

Another supplication regarding this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Grace me during it obedience of the fearful, and Make my heart aware of devotion of the repentant, O Security of the fearful!’’[95] 

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ دُعَاءُ اللَّيْلَةِ السَّادِسَةَ عَشَرَ اللَّهُمَّ سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ تُعْبَدُ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ وَ تُجْحَدُ بِخِذْلَانِكَ أَرَيْتَ عِبَرَكَ وَ ظَهَرَتْ غَيْرُكَ وَ بَقِيَتْ آثَارُ الْمَاضِينَ عِظَةً لِلْبَاقِينَ وَ الشَّهَوَاتُ غَالِبَةٌ وَ اللَّذَّاتُ مُجَاذِبَةٌ نَعْتَرِضُ أَمْرَكَ وَ نَهْيَكَ بِسُوءِ الِاخْتِيَارِ وَ الْعَمَى عَنِ الِاسْتِبْصَارِ وَ نَمِيلُ عَنِ الرَّشَادِ وَ نُنَافِرُ طُرُقَ السَّدَادِ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, supplication of the sixteenth night – ‘O Allah^-azwj, Glory be to You^-azwj, there is no god except You^-azwj! You^-azwj are worshipped by Your^-azwj Inclination, and You^-azwj are rejected by Your^-azwj Abandonment! The remnants of those who have passed remain as lessons for those who remain, yet desires prevail, and pleasures entice. We oppose Your^-azwj Commands and Prohibitions through poor choices and blindness to insight. We turn away from guidance and reject the paths of righteousness.

فَلَوْ عَجَّلْتَ لَانْتَقَمْتَ وَ مَا ظَلَمْتَ لَكِنَّكَ تُمْهِلُ عَوْداً عَلَى يَدِكَ بِالْإِحْسَانِ وَ تُنْظِرُ تَغَمُّداً لِلرَّأْفَةِ وَ الِامْتِنَانِ

So, if You^-azwj had Hastened You^-azwj would have Exacted Retribution, and You^-azwj would not have Wronged. But You^-azwj Grant Respite, returning with kindness from^-azwj Your^-azwj Hand, and You^-azwj Delay out of Kindness and the Conferment!

فَكَمْ مِمَّنْ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ مَكَّنْتَهُ أَنْ يَتُوبَ كُفْرَ الْحُوبِ وَ أَرْشَدْتَهُ الطَّرِيقَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَوَغَّلَ فِي الْمَضِيقِ فَكَانَ ضَالًّا لَوْ لَا هِدَايَتُكَ وَ طَائِحاً حَتَّى تَخَلَّصْتَهُ دَلَائِلَكَ

How many of those upon whom You^-azwj have Bestowed Favours and Given the opportunity to repent from sinful rebellion, Guiding them to the right path after they had deeply strayed! They were lost, but for Your^-azwj Guidance, and they were about to fall until Your^-azwj Signs rescued them.

وَ كَمْ مِمَّنْ وَسَّعْتَ لَهُ فَطَغَى وَ رَاخَيْتَ لَهُ فَاسْتَشْرَى فَأَخَذْتَهُ أَخْذَةَ الِانْتِقَامِ وَ جَذَذْتَهُ جُذَاذَ الصِّرَاطِ

And how many of those to whom You^-azwj Gave abundance became arrogant, and to whom You^-azwj Gave leeway, became more corrupt—until You^-azwj Seized them with the Grip of Retribution and Struck them down on the path of destruction!

اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْنِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مِمَّنْ رَضِيتَ عَمَلَهُ وَ غَفَرْتَ زَلَلَهُ وَ رَحِمْتَ غَفْلَتَهُ وَ أَخَذْتَ إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ نَاصِيَتَهُ وَ جَعَلْتَ إِلَى جَنَّتِكَ أَوْبَتَهُ وَ إِلَى جِوَارِكَ رَجْعَتَهُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Make me during this month from the ones You^-azwj are Pleased with his deeds, and Forgiven his slips, and Mercied his heedlessness, and Seized his forelock to obey You^-azwj, and Made his turning to Your^-azwj Paradise and his return to Your^-azwj Shelter, and may Allah^‑azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Greetings, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[96]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ ذَكَرُهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي وَ لِي إِلَيْكَ فَاقَةٌ وَ لَا أَجِدُ إِلَيْكَ شَافِعاً وَ لَا مُتَقَرِّباً أَوْجَهَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ لَا أَعْظَمَ رَجَاءً عِنْدِي مِنْكَ فِي تَعْظِيمِ ذِكْرِكَ وَ تَفْخِيمِ أَسْمَائِكَ وَ إِنِّي أُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ حَوَائِجِي بَعْدَ ذِكْرِي نَعْمَاءَكَ عَلَيَّ بِإِقْرَارِي لَكَ وَ مَدْحِي إِيَّاكَ وَ ثَنَائِي عَلَيْكَ وَ تَقْدِيسِي مَجْدَكَ وَ تَسْبِيحِي قُدْسَكَ

Another supplication during this night mentioned by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurrah in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are my God^-azwj, and I am in need of You^-azwj. I find no intercessor or means of drawing nearer to You^-azwj that is more honourable within myself or greater in hope than the glorification of Your^-azwj Zikr and the reverence of Your^-azwj Names, and I place before You^-azwj, in the midst of my needs, after acknowledging Your^-azwj bounties upon me, my admission of gratitude, my praise for You^-azwj, my exaltation of You^-azwj, my sanctification of Your^-azwj Glory, and my glorification of Your^-azwj Holiness!

الْحَمْدُ لَكَ بِمَا أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ شُكْرِكَ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ نَعْمَائِكَ وَ أَلْبَسْتَنِي مِنْ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ أَفْضَلْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنْ جَزِيلِ عَطِيَّتِكَ

The Praise is for You^-azwj with what You^-azwj have Obligated upon me of thanking You^-azwj Bestowed me from Your^-azwj bounties and Clothed me from Your^-azwj well-being, and Graced upon me from Your^-azwj plentiful awards!

فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي‏ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ وَ لَئِنْ كَفَرْتُمْ إِنَّ عَذابِي لَشَدِيدٌ وَ قَوْلُكَ صِدْقٌ وَ وَعْدُكَ حَقٌّ وَ قُلْتَ سَيِّدِي‏ وَ إِنْ تَعُدُّوا نِعْمَةَ اللَّهِ لا تُحْصُوها وَ قُلْتَ‏ ادْعُوا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعاً وَ خُفْيَةً وَ قُلْتَ‏ ادْعُوهُ خَوْفاً وَ طَمَعاً إِنَ‏ رَحْمَتَ اللَّهِ قَرِيبٌ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ‏

Surely You^-azwj, O my Chief, Said: “If you are grateful, I would Increase it for you, and if you are ungrateful, then My Punishment is Severe” [14:7], and Your^-azwj Word is true, and You^-azwj, my Chief, Said: And if you were to count the Favours of Allah, you would not be (able to) count these. [16:18]; and You^-azwj Said: Call your Lord beseeching and secretly, [7:55]; and You^-azwj Said: And do not make mischief in the earth after it has been set in order, and supplicate to Him fearing and wishing; surely the Mercy of Allah is close to the good doers [7:56]!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ قَلِيلًا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ مَعَ حَاجَةٍ بِي إِلَيْهِ عَظِيمَةٍ وَ غِنَاكَ عَنْهُ قَدِيمٌ وَ هُوَ عَلَيْكَ سَهْلٌ يَسِيرٌ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for little from a lot, along with a need with me to it being mighty, and Your^-azwj Richness of it is ancient, and it is easy, simple upon You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ عَفْوَكَ عَنْ ذَنْبِي وَ تَجَاوُزَكَ عَنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَ صَفْحَكَ عَنْ ظُلْمِي وَ سَتْرَكَ عَلَى قَبِيحِ عَمَلِي وَ حِلْمَكَ عَنْ كَثِيرِ جُرْمِي عِنْدَ مَا كَانَ مِنْ خَطَئِي وَ عَمْدِي أَطْمَعَنِي فِي أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ مَا لَا أَسْتَوْجِبُهُ مِنْكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Your^-azwj Pardoning my sins and Your^-azwj Overlooking my wrongdoings, and Your^‑azwj Excusing my injustices, and You^-azwj Concealing upon my ugly deed, and Your^-azwj Lenience from my many crimes at what has happened from my mistakes and my deliberateness has encouraged me to ask You^-azwj what I don’t deserve from You^-azwj!

فَصِرْتُ أَدْعُوكَ آمِناً وَ أَسْأَلُكَ مُسْتَأْنِساً- لَا خَائِفاً وَ لَا وَجِلًا مُدِلًّا عَلَيْكَ فِيمَا قَصَدْتُ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ فَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي عَتَبْتُ بِجَهْلِي عَلَيْكَ وَ لَعَلَّ الَّذِي أَبْطَأَ عَنِّي هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي لِعِلْمِكَ بِعَاقِبَةِ الْأُمُورِ فَلَمْ أَرَ مَوْلًى كَرِيماً أَصْبَرَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ لَئِيمٍ مِنْكَ عَلَيَّ

Thus, I have become supplicating to You^-azwj as a believer, and I ask You^-azwj with familiarity, neither fearful nor anxious, relying on You^-azwj in what I seek from You^-azwj. If there is a delay in Your^-azwj Response, I show impatience/ungratefulness You^-azwj out of my ignorance, though, perhaps the delay is better for me due to Your^-azwj Knowledge of the outcome of things. I have never seen a more generous master, more patient with an unworthy servant than You^-azwj are with me!

يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي فَأُوَلِّي عَنْكَ وَ تَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَبَغَّضُ إِلَيْكَ وَ تَتَوَدَّدُ إِلَيَّ فَلَا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ كَأَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لَا يَمْنَعُكَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ بِي وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيَّ وَ التَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ

O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj Called me but I turned away from You^-azwj, and You^-azwj Showed me Love but I was indifferent to You^-azwj, and You^-azwj were Affectionate to me but I did not humble to You^-azwj. It is as if for me there was a favour upon You^-azwj, then that did not prevent You^-azwj from being Merciful and the Favouring to me, and the Grace upon me with Your^-azwj Generosity and Your^-azwj Benevolence!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فَارْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ الْجَاهِلَ وَ عُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ جُودِكَ إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Mercy Your^-azwj ignorant servant and Repeat upon him with the Grace of Your^-azwj Favours and Your^-azwj Generosity, You^-azwj are Generous, Benevolent!’’[97]

SECTION REGARDING WHAT SUPPLICATION IS SPECIFIC WITH THE SIXTEENTH DAY, WITHOUT REPETITION

دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ السَّادِسَ عَشَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ رِزْقِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ لَا تُحْوِجْنِي إِلَى أَحَدٍ سِوَاكَ

A supplication on the sixteenth day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Forgive my sins for me, and Expand my sustenance upon me, and Bless for me in what You^-azwj Provide me and do not Make me to be needy to anyone besides You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي رِزْقِكَ وَ أَغْنِنَا عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا وَفْدَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Provide us from Your^-azwj Grace and Bless for us in Your^-azwj sustenance, and Make us needless of Your^-azwj creatures, and do not Deprive us of Your^-azwj delegation!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَسْأَلُكَ السَّعَةَ مِنْ طَيِّبِ رِزْقِكَ وَ الْعَوْنَ عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ الْقُوَّةَ عَلَى عِبَادَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! We ask You^-azwj the vastness from Your^-azwj goodly sustenance, and the Assistance upon obeying You^-azwj, and the strength upon worshipping You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ عَافِنَا مِنْ بَلَائِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ اكْفِنَا شَرَّ خَلْقِكَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! Grant us well-being from You^-azwj affliction and Provide us from Your^-azwj Grace, and Suffice us from evil of Your^-azwj creatures!’’[99]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ وَفِّقْنِي لِعَمَلِ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ جَنِّبْنِي فِيهِ مُرَافَقَةَ الْأَشْرَارِ وَ آوِنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ فِي دَارِ الْقَرَارِ بِأُلُوهِيَّتِكَ يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Harmonise me for deeds of the righteous ones, and Keep me away during it friendship of the evil ones, and Shelter me with Your^-azwj Mercy in the House of settlement by Your^-azwj Divinity, O God^-azwj of the former ones and the latter ones!’’[100]

منها الغسل المشار إليه و منها أنها الليلة التي التقى في صبيحتها الجمعان يوم بدر و نصر الله نبيه ص و منها ما نختاره من عدة فصول في الدعوات بعدة روايات.

From these is the ritual bathing indicated to, and from these, it is the night which the two armies had met in its morning on the day of Badr, and Allah^-azwj Helped His^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and from these is what we have chosen from a number of sections regarding the supplications by a number of reports.

رِوَايَةٌ مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهَا فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هِيَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ السَّابِعَةَ عَشَرَ سُبْحَانَ الْعَزِيزِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ الْمَالِكِ بِغَلَبَتِهِ الَّذِي لَا يَخْرُجُ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَنْ قَبْضَتِهِ وَ لَا أَمْرٌ إِلَّا بِيَدِهِ الَّذِي يَجُودُ مُبْتَدِئاً وَ مَسْئُولًا وَ يُنْعِمُ مُعِيداً

A report from these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is regarding the seventeenth night – ‘Glorious is the Mighty with His^-azwj Power, the Owner with His^-azwj Prevalence which nothing exits from His^-azwj Grasp nor is there any matter except in His^-azwj Hand by which He^-azwj Generous Initiating and requested, and He^-azwj Favours repeatedly!

هُوَ الْحَمِيدُ الْمَجِيدُ نَحْمَدُهُ بِتَوْفِيقِهِ فَنِعَمُهُ بِذَلِكَ جُدُدٌ لَا تُحْصَى وَ نُمَجِّدُهُ بِآلَائِهِ وَ بِدَلَالاتِهِ فَأَيَادِيهِ لَا تُكَافَى وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يُمَلِّكُ الْمَالِكِينَ وَ يُعِزُّ الْأَعِزَّاءَ وَ يُذِلُّ الْأَذَلِّينَ

He^-azwj is the praised, the glorified! He^-azwj is praised by His^-azwj Given Inclination. Sure that His^‑azwj bounties are renewed, uncountable, and we glorify Him^-azwj for His^-azwj Favours and His^‑azwj Guidance. His^-azwj Favours cannot be reciprocated, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Owns the two kingdoms, and He^-azwj Honours the honourable, and Humiliates the humiliated!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ لَيْلَةُ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ عَشْرٌ وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ عُقُودِ الْأَعْدَادِ وَ سَبْعٌ وَ هِيَ شَرِيفَةُ الْآحَادِ لَاحِقَةٌ بِنَعْتِ سَابِقِهِ وَيْلٌ لِمَنْ أَمْضَاهُنَّ بِغَيْرِ حَقٍّ لَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! This night is the seventeenth night, a night of ten and seven, marking the first of the tens in counting, and seven, which is noble among the single digits, connected in description to what preceded it. Woe to those who pass through these nights without fulfilling Your^-azwj due rights!

يَا مَوْلَاهْ قَضَاكَ وَ لَا مُقَرِّبٍ إِلَيْكَ أَرْضَاكَ وَ أَنَا أَحَدُ أَهْلِ الْوَيْلِ صَدَّتْنِي عَنْكَ بِطْنَةُ الْمَآكِلِ وَ الْمَشَارِبِ وَ غَرَّنِي بِكَ أَمْرُ الْمَسَارِبِ وَ سَعَةُ الْمَذَاهِبِ وَ اجْتَذَبَتْنِي إِلَى لَذَّاتِهَا سِنَتِي وَ رَكِبْتُ الْوَطِيئَةَ اللَّذِيذَةَ مِنْ غَفْلَتِي

O my Master, Your^-azwj Decree is inevitable, and there is nothing that brings one closer to You^‑azwj that is more pleasing to You^-azwj. I am among those deserving of woe. The (over) indulgence in food and drink has distanced me from You^-azwj. I have been deceived by the ease of paths and the broadness of choices, and the pleasures of life have pulled me away. My negligence led me to tread the easy yet delightful path of my heedlessness.

فَاطْرُدْ عَنِّي الِاغْتِرَارَ وَ أَنْقِذْنِي وَ أَنِّفْ بِي عَلَى الِاسْتِبْصَارِ وَ احْفَظْنِي مِنْ يَدِ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ سَلِّمْنِي إِلَى الْيَقَظَةِ بِسَعَادَةٍ مِنْكَ تُمْضِيهَا وَ تَقْضِيهَا لِي وَ تُبَيِّضُ وَجْهِي لَدَيْكَ وَ تُزْلِفُنِي عِنْدَكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ.

So, Drive away my delusion, Rescue me, and Guide me toward insight. Protect me from the grip of heedlessness and Deliver me to wakefulness, with the happiness You^-azwj Bestow and Decree for me. Make my face bright before You^-azwj and Draw me closer to You^-azwj, O the most Merciful of the merciful one, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and greetings!’’[101]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ السَّابِعَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْعَالِمِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةُ هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي الْتَقَى فِيهَا الْجَمْعَانِ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ وَ أَظْهَرَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى آيَاتِهِ الْعِظَامَ فِي أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ أَعْدَائِهِ

Another supplication during the seventeenth night of it, we are reporting it by our chain to the Scholar (Imam^-asws), he^-asws said: ‘This night, it is the night in which the two armies met on the day of Badr and Allah^-azwj the Exalted Revealed His^-azwj Mighty Signs among his^-saww friends and his^-saww enemies.

الدُّعَاءُ فِيهَا- يَا صَاحِبَ مُحَمَّدٍ- ص يَوْمَ حُنَيْنٍ وَ يَا مُبِيرَ الْجَبَّارِينَ‏ وَ يَا عَاصِمَ النَّبِيِّينَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ‏ وَ بِ طه‏ وَ سَائِرِ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِيَ اللَّيْلَةَ تَأْيِيداً تَشُدُّ بِهِ عَضُدِي وَ تَسُدُّ بِهِ خَلَّتِي

The supplication during it – ‘O Companion of Muhammad^-saww on the day of Hunayn, and O Terminator of the tyrants, and O Protector of the Prophets^-as! I ask You^-azwj by, Ya Seen [36:1] By the Wise Quran [36:2], and by Ta Ha [20:1], and rest of the Mighty Quran, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Gift to me tonight Support my arm can be strengthened by it, and my loneliness can be blocked by it!

يَا كَرِيمُ أَنَا الْمُقِرُّ بِالذُّنُوبِ فَافْعَلْ بِي مَا تَشَاءُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ أَنْتَ حَسْبِي وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ

O Benevolent! I am the one who acknowledges his sins, so Do with me whatever You^-azwj Desire to. It will not hit me except what You^-azwj have Written for me. Upon You^-azwj I have relied, and You^-azwj Suffice me, and You^-azwj are Lord^-azwj of the Benevolent Throne!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَعِيشَةِ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي بُلْغَةً إِلَى انْقِضَاءِ أَجَلِي أَتَقَوَّى بِهَا عَلَى جَمِيعِ حَوَائِجِي وَ أَتَوَصَّلُ بِهَا إِلَيْكَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ تَفْتِنَنِي بِإِكْثَارٍ فَأَطْغَى أَوْ بِتَقْتِيرٍ عَلَيَّ فَأَشْقَى وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي مِنْ شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي غِنًى عَنْ شِرَارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ شَرِّ مَا فِيهَا

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for the good life, for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to live, reaching to the extent of my term, I can be strengthened by it upon entirety of my needs, and I can connect with it to You^-azwj from without my being tempted by the abundance so I would be arrogant, or constriction upon me so I would be wretched, and do not pre-occupy me from thanking for Your^-azwj bounties, and Give me needlessness from Your^-azwj evil creatures, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from evil of the world and evil of what is in it!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا لِي سِجْناً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ فِرَاقَهَا لِي حَزَناً أَخْرِجْنِي عَنْ فِتَنِهَا إِذَا كَانَتِ الْوَفَاةُ خَيْراً لِي مِنْ حَيَاتِي مَقْبُولًا عَمَلِي إِلَى دَارِ الْحَيَوَانِ وَ مَسَاكِنِ الْأَخْيَارِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ أَزْلِهَا وَ زِلْزَالِهَا وَ سَطَوَاتِ سُلْطَانِهَا وَ بَغْيِ بُغَاتِهَا

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make the world a prison for me nor Make its separation a grief for me! Extract me from its Fitna, when the death would be better for me than my living with my deeds being Accepted, to the House of eternal life, and dwellings of the good people, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from its slips, and its earthquakes, and whips of its rulers, and rebellion of its rebels!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي فَأَرِدْهُ وَ مَنْ كَادَنِي فَكِدْهُ وَ اكْفِنِي هَمَّ مَنْ أَدْخَلَ عَلَيَّ هَمَّهُ وَ صَدِّقْ قَوْلِي بِفِعْلِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي حَالِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ إِخْوَانِي

O Allah^-azwj! One who intends me, Intend him, and one who plots against me, Plan against him, and Suffice me of worries of the one who enters the worries upon me, and Ratify my words with the deeds, and Rectify my situation for me, and Bless for me in my family, and my wealth, and my children, and my brothers!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ اعْصِمْنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ- وَ تَسْأَلُ حَاجَتَكَ ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فِي دُبُرِ الدُّعَاءِ وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for me what has passed from my sins and Protect me in what remains from my lifespan until I meet You^-azwj and You^-azwj are Pleased with me!’ – and ask your need, then perform Sajdah in the end of the supplication and say in your Sajdah –

سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْفَانِي الْبَالِي الْمَوْقُوفُ الْمُحَاسَبُ الْخَاطِي لِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْبَاقِي الدَّائِمِ الْغَفُورِ الرَّحِيمِ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَ بِحَمْدِهِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

‘I prostrate my perishable face, the decaying, the paused for the Reckoning, the wrongdoer, to Your^-azwj Benevolent Face, the Permanent, the Forgiving, the Merciful! Glorious is my Lord^‑azwj the most Exalted, and with His^-azwj Praise! I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj and repent to Him^-azwj!’

زِيَادَةٌ- اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ الْعَظِيمَةِ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا عَصَمْتَنِي مِنْ مَهَاوِي الْهَلَكَةِ وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِحِبَالِ الظَّلَمَةِ وَ الْجُحُودِ لِطَاعَتِكَ وَ الرَّدِّ عَلَيْكَ أَمْرَكَ وَ التَّوَجُّهِ إِلَى غَيْرِكَ وَ الزُّهْدِ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةِ فِيمَا عِنْدَ غَيْرِكَ

Additional – ‘O Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of this mighty night! For You^-azwj is the Praise just as You^-azwj Protected me from my destructive whims, and I adhered with the ropes of injustice, and the rejection of obedience to You^-azwj, and the returning of Your^-azwj Command to You^-azwj, and the diverting to others, and the abstaining regarding what is in Your^-azwj Presence, and the desire regarding what is with others!

مَنّاً مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ رَحْمَةً رَحِمْتَنِي بِهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمَلٍ سَالِفٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا اسْتِحْقَاقٍ لِمَا صَنَعْتَ بِي وَ اسْتَوْجَبْتَ مِنِّي الْحَمْدَ عَلَى الدَّلَالَةِ عَلَى الْحَمْدِ وَ اتِّبَاعِ أَهْلِ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ وَ التَّبَصُّرِ بِأَبْوَابِ الْهُدَى وَ لَوْلَاكَ مَا اهْتَدَيْتُ إِلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ لَا عَرَفْتُ أَمْرَكَ وَ لَا سَلَكْتُ سَبِيلَكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلًا وَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ تَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ.

A Conferment You^-azwj Conferred with upon me, and Mercy You^-azwj Mercied me with from without any work from me in the past, nor deserving of what You^-azwj have Done with me, and You^-azwj Made me worthy of praise by Guiding me to give thanks and to follow the people of virtue and knowledge, and to gain insight into the doors of guidance. Were it not for You^-azwj, I would not have been guided to Your^-azwj obedience, nor would I have known Your^-azwj Commands or walked Your^-azwj path!’’[102]

Another supplication during the seventeenth night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘O Allah^‑azwj! This is a month on Ramazan in which You^-azwj Revealed the Quran and You^-azwj Commanded with frequenting the Masjids, and the supplication, and the Fasting, and the standing (for Salat), and You^-azwj have Ordained the Response for us during it!

فَقَدِ اجْتَهَدْنَا وَ أَنْتَ أَعَنْتَنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا فَإِنَّكَ رَبُّنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدُنَا وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِمَّنْ يَنْقَلِبُ إِلَى مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْأَجَلُّ الْأَعْظَمُ.

We have struggled and You^-azwj Assisted us, for Forgive for us in it and do not Make it last of the pacts from us, and Pardon us for You^-azwj are our Lord^-azwj, and Mercy us, for You^-azwj are our Chief, and Make us from the one transferring to Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Satisfaction, surely You^-azwj are the most Majestic, the most Magnificent!’’[103]

مِنْهَا رِوَايَةٌ مِنْ كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا وَ هِيَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ‏ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ فِي مُلْكِهِ وَ لَا مُنَازِعَ فِي قُدْرَتِهِ‏ أَحْصى‏ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَدَداً وَ خَلَقَهُ وَ جَعَلَ لَهُ أَمَداً فَكُلُّ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى‏ هالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ‏ وَ إِلَيْهِ يَرْجِعُونَ

From these is a report from books of our companions, and it is regarding the night of the eighteenth – ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone! There is no associate for Him^-azwj in His^‑azwj Kingdom nor any contender regarding His^-azwj Power! He^-azwj Enumerates all things in number and Creates it, and Makes a term for it! Thus, all what is seen and what is not seen is perishable except His^-azwj Face! For Him^-azwj is the Judgment and to Him^-azwj is the returning!

وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي قَهَرَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ بِجَبَرُوتِهِ وَ اسْتَوْلَى عَلَيْهِ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ مَلَكَهُ بِعِزَّتِهِ سُبْحَانَ خَالِقِي وَ لَمْ أَكُ شَيْئاً الَّذِي كَفَلَنِي بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَ غَذَّانِي بِنِعْمَتِهِ وَ فَسَحَ لِي فِي عَطِيَّتِهِ وَ مَنَّ عَلَيَّ بِهِدَايَتِهِ بِمَا أَلْهَمَنِي مِنْ وَحْدَانِيَّتِهِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ بِأَنْبِيَائِهِ وَ حَامِلِي رِسَالاتِهِ وَ بِكُتُبِهِ الْمُنْزَلَةِ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ الْمُوجِبَةِ بِحُجَّتِهِ

And Glorious is Allah^-azwj Who Subdued all thing with His^-azwj Force, and Rules upon it with His^‑azwj Power, and Owned it with His^-azwj Might! Glorious is my Creator when I was not anything, the One^-azwj Who Guaranteed me of His^-azwj Mercy, and Provided me with His^-azwj bounties, and Expanded for me regarding His^-azwj awards, and Conferred upon me with His^-azwj Guidance with what He^-azwj Inspired me of His^-azwj Oneness, and the ratification of His^-azwj Prophets^-saww, and carriers of His^-azwj Messages, and His^-azwj Books Revealed upon His^-azwj Created beings, obliging His^-azwj Arguments!

الَّذِي لَمْ يَخْذُلْنِي بِجُحُودٍ وَ لَمْ يُسْلِمْنِي إِلَى عَنُودٍ وَ جَعَلَ مِنْ أَكَارِمِ أَنْبِيَائِهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَرُومَتِي وَ مِنْ أَفَاضِلِهِمْ نَبْعَتِي وَ لِخَاتَمِهِمْ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِمْ عَوْنَتِي

The One Who did not Abandon me due to my shortcomings rejection, and did not Yield me to the obstinate ones, and Made my roots to be from His^-azwj Honourable Prophets^-as, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them, and my growth from their^-as best ones, and my assistance for their^-as last one, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-as!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُذَلِّلْ مِنِّي مَا أَعْزَزْتَ وَ لَا تَضَعْنِي بَعْدَ أَنْ رَفَعْتَ وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنِي بَعْدَ أَنْ نَصَرْتَ وَ اطْوِ فِي مَطَاوِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ ذُنُوبِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَدْعِيَتِي مَسْمُوعَةً وَ قُرُبَاتِي مَقْبُولَةً فَ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Humiliate from me what You^-azwj have Honoured, nor Weaken me after Raising me, nor Abandon me after Your^-azwj Help, and Roll up my sins in this nights as Forgiven, and my supplications as Heard, and my drawing closer as Accepted, for You^-azwj are Able upon all things, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww the Prophet^-saww and his^‑saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant greetings!’’[106]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّامِنَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ رَوَيْنَاهَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا حَمِدْتَ نَفْسَكَ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَا حَمِدَكَ الْحَامِدُونَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

Another supplication during night of the eighteenth of it. We are reporting it from Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise just as You^-azwj have Praised Yourself^-saww, and best of what the praising ones from Your^‑azwj creatures have praised!

حَمْداً يَكُونُ أَرْضَى الْحَمْدِ لَكَ وَ أَحَقَّ الْحَمْدِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَحَبَّ الْحَمْدِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَفْضَلَ الْحَمْدِ لَدَيْكَ وَ أَقْرَبَ الْحَمْدِ مِنْكَ وَ أَوْجَبَ الْحَمْدِ جَزَاءً عَلَيْكَ حَمْداً لَا يَبْلُغُهُ وَصْفُ وَاصِفٍ وَ لَا يُدْرِكُهُ نَعْتُ نَاعِتٍ وَ لَا وَهْمُ مُتَوَهِّمٍ وَ لَا فِكْرُ مُتَفَكِّرٍ

A Praise being the most Satisfying of the Praises to You^-azwj, and the most rightful in Your^-azwj Presence, and most beloved of the Praises to You^-azwj, and the best Praise before You^-azwj, and the closest of the Praises from You^-azwj, and the Praise obligating upon You^-azwj the most Reward, a Praise description of the describers does not reach, nor do attribution of the attributers reach it, nor can the imaginers imagine, nor thoughts of the thinkers!

حَمْداً يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ كُلُّ أَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ وَ يَقْصُرُ عَنْهُ وَ عَنْ حُدُودِهِ وَ مُنْتَهَاهُ جَمِيعُ الْمَعْصُومِينَ الْمُؤَيَّدِينَ الَّذِينَ أَخَذْتَ مِيثَاقَهُمْ فِي كِتَابِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُغَيَّرُ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ

Praise that surpasses the ability of anyone in the skies and the earths to offer, and that all the Divinely Protected and Supported ones fall short of reaching its limits and comprehending its peak, those You^-azwj have Taken their Covenants in the Book which can neither change nor be replaced!

حَمْداً يَنْبَغِي لَكَ وَ يَدُومُ مَعَكَ وَ لَا يَصْلُحُ إِلَّا لَكَ

Praise befitting for You^-azwj and constantly with You^-azwj, and is not correct except for You^-azwj!

حَمْداً يَعْلُو حَمْدَ كُلِّ حَامِدٍ وَ شُكْراً يُحِيطُ بِشُكْرِ كُلِّ شَاكِرٍ

Praise loftier than Praise by every praising one, and appreciation encompassing the appreciation of every appreciative one!

حَمْداً يَبْقَى مَعَ بَقَائِكَ وَ يَزِيدُ إِذَا رَضِيتَ وَ يَنْمِي كُلَّمَا شِئْتَ

Praise remaining with Your^-azwj Remaining, and increasing when You^-azwj are Satisfied, and grows every time You^-azwj Desire!

حَمْداً خَالِداً مَعَ خُلُودِكَ وَ دَائِماً مَعَ دَوَامِكَ كَمَا فَضَّلْتَنَا عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لِمَا وَهَبْتَ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِكَ وَ صِيَامِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

Praise being eternally with Your^-azwj eternity, and permanent with Your^-azwj Permanence just as You^-azwj have Preferred us upon many of Your^-azwj creatures, and due to what You^-azwj have Bestowed from Your^-azwj recognition, and Fasting a month of Ramazan!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَقَامِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ بِمَقَامِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَقَبَّلَ صَوْمِي وَ تَصْرِفَ إِلَيَّ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ نِعَمِكَ وَ رِزْقِكَ الْهَنِي‏ءِ الْمَرِي‏ءِ مَا تَجْعَلُهُ صَلَاحاً لِدِينِنَا وَ قِوَاماً لِآخِرَتِنَا.

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the Position of Muhammad^-saww, and Positions of Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, upon him^-saww and upon them^-as be the greetings, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Accept my Fasts, and Turn towards me, and towards my family, and my children, and members of my household, and ones whose matters concerns me, and to entirety of the believing men and the believing women, Your^-azwj Grace and Your^-azwj Mercy, and Your^-azwj well-being and Your^-azwj bounties, and Your^-azwj sustenance, the pleasant, the wholesome, what would make it a betterment for our world and standing for our Hereafter!’’[107]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِشَهْرِنَا هَذَا وَ أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ الْقُرْآنَ وَ عَرَّفَنَا حَقَّهُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى الْبَصِيرَةِ فَبِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ يَا إِلَهَنَا وَ إِلَهَ آبَائِنَا الْأَوَّلِينَ ارْزُقْنَا فِيهِ التَّوْبَةَ وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنَا وَ لَا تُخْلِفْ ظَنَنَّا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْجَلِيلُ الْجَبَّارُ.

Another supplication during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘The Praise is for Allah^‑azwj Who Honoured us with this month of ours, and Revealed the Quran upon us during it, and Introduced to us its right! And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj upon the insight so Your^-azwj Face was manifest! O our God^-azwj and God^-azwj of our fathers, the former ones! Grace us the repentance during it and do not Abandon us, nor Break our thoughts, surely, You^-azwj are the Majetic, the Subduer!’’[108]

وَ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع‏ أَنَّ فِي ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مَضَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أُنْزِلَ الزَّبُورُ.

And it is reported from Al-Sadiq^-asws: ‘During the eighteenth past from a month of Ramazan, the Psalms were Revealed in it’.[109]

قلت أنا ينبغي أن يكون لها زيادة من الاحترام و العمل المشكور.

I say, ‘It is befitting if there happens to me an increase from the reverence, and the deeds are Appreciated’.

فصل فيما يختص باليوم الثامن عشر من دعاء غير متكرر

SECTION REGARDING THE SUPPLICATION SPECIFIC WITHI THE EIGHTEENTH DAY, WITHOUT REPETITION

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنَ عَشَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الظَّلَمَةَ كَفَرُوا بِكِتَابِكَ وَ جَحَدُوا آيَاتِكَ فَكَذَّبُوا رُسُلَكَ وَ شَرَعُوا غَيْرَ دِينِكَ وَ سَعَوْا بِالْفَسَادِ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ تَعَاوَنُوا عَلَى إِطْفَاءِ نُورِكَ وَ شَاقُّوا وُلَاةَ أَمْرِكَ وَ وَالَوْا أَعْدَاءَكَ وَ عَادَوْا أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ ظَلَمُوا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ

A supplication for the eighteenth day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! The unjust ones denied Your^-azwj Book, and they rejected Your^-azwj Signs, so they belied Your^-azwj Messengers^-as and legislated other than Your^-azwj religion, and they strived with the corruption in Your^-azwj earth, and they assisted each other upon extinguishing Your^-azwj Noor, and they opposed Guardians of Your^-azwj Command and befriended Your^-azwj enemies and were inimical to Your^‑azwj friends, and they oppressed People^-asws of the Household of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ فَانْتَقِمْ مِنْهُمْ وَ اصْبُبْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذَابَكَ وَ اسْتَأْصِلْ شَأْفَتَهُمْ

O Allah^-azwj! Take revenge from them and Pour Your^-azwj Punishment upon them, and Eradicate them all!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا دِينَكَ دَغَلًا وَ مَالَكَ دِوَلًا وَ عِبَادَكَ خَوَلًا فَاكْفُفْ بَأْسَهُمْ وَ أَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُمْ وَ اشْفِ مِنْهُمْ صُدُورَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ خَالِفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِهِمْ وَ شَتِّتْ أَمْرَهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ اسْفِكْ بِأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ دِمَاءَهُمْ وَ خُذْهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

O Allah^-azwj! They took Your^-azwj religion for corruption, and Your^-azwj wealth as their own, and Your^-azwj servants as their slaves, so Restrain their power, and Weaken their plots, and Heal chests of the Momineen from them, and Oppose between their hearts, and Scatter their affairs, and Make their severity to be between them, and Shed their blood by hands of the Momineen, and Seize them from where they are not aware!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْهَدُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ يَوْمَ حُلُولِ الطَّامَّةِ أَنَّهُمْ لَمْ يُذْنِبُوا لَكَ ذَنْباً وَ لَمْ يَرْتَكِبُوا لَكَ مَعْصِيَةً وَ لَمْ يُضِيعُوا لَكَ طَاعَةً وَ أَنَّ سَيِّدَنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا صَاحِبُ الزَّمَانِ الْهَادِي الْمَهْدِيُّ التَّقِيُّ النَّقِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ

O Allah^-azwj! We shall testify on the Day of Qiyamah and the Day the great calamity is released, they^-asws did not sin to You^-azwj any sin, and did not indulge in any disobedience to You^-azwj, and did not waste obedience to You^-azwj, and that our chief and our master is Master of the Time, the guide, the Guided, the pious, the pure, the clean, the satisfactory!

فَاسْلُكْ بِنَا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ مِنْهَاجَ الْهُدَى وَ الْمَحَجَّةَ الْعُظْمَى وَ قَوِّنَا عَلَى مُتَابَعَتِهِ وَ أَدَاءِ حَقِّهِ وَ احْشُرْنَا فِي أَعْوَانِهِ وَ أَنْصَارِهِ‏ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعاءِ.

I ask You^-azwj Lead us, upon his^-ajfj hands (pledge allegiance), path of the guidance, and the mighty clear way, and Strengthen us upon following him^-ajfj, and fulfilling his^-ajfj rights, and Resurrect us among his^‑ajfj supporters and his^-ajfj helpers, You^-azwj are Hearer of the supplication!’’[110]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ نَبِّهْنِي فِيهِ لِبَرَكَاتِ أَسْحَارِهِ وَ نَوِّرْ فِيهِ‏ قَلْبِي بِضِيَاءِ أَنْوَارِهِ وَ خُذْ بِكُلِّ أَعْضَائِي إِلَى اتِّبَاعِ آثَارِهِ يَا نُورَ قُلُوبِ الْعَارِفِينَ.

Another supplication in this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Awaken me during it for Blessings of its pre-dawn, and Irradiate my heart during it with illumination of its radiance, and Seized with every limb of mine follow his^-ajfj tracks, O Irradiator of the hearts of Gnostics!’’[111]

أقول: ثم ساق الكلام في أعمال الليلة التاسعة عشر منه على النهج الذي سننقله في باب أعمال ليالي الإحياء ثم قال رضي الله عنه.

I say, ‘Then he continued the speech regarding acts of worship of the night of the nineteenth of it, upon the same manner which we will be transmitting in the chapter, ‘Amaal Layali Al Ahyaa’. Then he, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said: –

مِنْهَا مَا وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هِيَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْعِشْرِينَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ لِي غَيْرُكَ أُوَحِّدُهُ وَ لَا رَبَّ لِي سِوَاكَ أَعْبُدُهُ

From these is what we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is night of the twentieth – ‘O Allah^-azwj!  You^-azwj are my Lord^-azwj! There is no God^-azwj for me apart from You^‑azwj! I profess oneness, and there is no Lord^-azwj for me besides You^-azwj to worship!

أَنْتَ الْوَاحِدُ الْأَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ- لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ وَ كَيْفَ يَكُونُ كُفْوٌ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ لِلْخَالِقِ وَ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ لِلرَّازِقِ وَ مَنْ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُونَ لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا يَمْلِكُونَ مَوْتاً وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا نُشُوراً

You^-azwj are the One, the First, 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], and how can anyone from the created beings be a match for the Creator, and from the sustained for the Sustainer, and ones not capable for themselves, neither of benefit nor harm, nor are them controlling death nor life nor Resurrection?

هُوَ مَالِكُ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ بِعَطِيَّتِهِ وَ تَحْرِيمِهِ وَ يَبْتَلِي بِهِ وَ يُعَافِي مِنْهُ- لا يُسْئَلُ عَمَّا يَفْعَلُ وَ هُمْ يُسْئَلُونَ‏

He^-azwj is the Controller of that, all of it, by Giving it and Depriving it, and He^-azwj Tries with it and Excuses from it! He cannot be questioned about what He Does, and they would be Questioned [21:23]!

إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي مَا أَغَبَّ شَهْرَ الصِّيَامِ إِلَى جَانِبِ الْفَنَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ الْبَاقِي وَ آذَنَ بِالانْقِضَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ الدَّائِمُ وَ هُوَ الَّذِي عَظَّمْتَ حَقَّهُ فَعَظُمَ وَ كَرَّمْتَهُ فَكَرُمَ

My God^-azwj, and my chief! How fleeting the month of fasting is alongside annihilation, while You^-azwj are the Everlasting. It has been decreed to come to an end, while You^-azwj are Eternal. It is You^-azwj Who have Honoured its right, so it has become great! You^-azwj have Esteemed it, and so it has become noble!

وَ إِنَّ لِي فِيهِ الزَّلَّاتِ كَثِيرَةً وَ الْهَفَوَاتِ عَظِيمَةً إِنْ قَاصَصْتَنِي بِهَا كَانَ شَهْرَ شِقَاوَتِي وَ إِنْ سَمَحْتَ لِي بِهَا كَانَ شَهْرَ سَعَادَتِي

Indeed, I have many missteps in it and great faults. If You^-azwj were to Hold me accountable for them, it would be a month of misery for me, but if You^-azwj Forgive me for them, it would be a month of happiness for me.

اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا أَسْعَدْتَنِي بِالْإِقْرَارِ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ مُبْتَدِئاً فَأَسْعِدْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ رَأْفَتِكَ وَ تَمْحِيصِكَ وَ سَمَاحَتِكَ مُعِيداً فَ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً.

O Allah^-azwj, just as You^-azwj have Made me happy by acknowledging Your^-azwj Lordship at the beginning, make me happy with Your^-azwj Mercy, Compassion, Purification, and Forgiveness as I return. You^-azwj are Able upon all things, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and abundant greetings!’’[112]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ كَلَّفْتَنِي مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا أَنْتَ أَمْلَكُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ قُدْرَتُكَ أَعْلَى مِنْ قُدْرَتِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ نَفْسِي مَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ خُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ رِضَاهَا مِنْ نَفْسِي

Another supplication during this night, mentioned by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Encumbered me from myself what You^-azwj are more in control of than me, and You^-azwj Evaluated me higher than my worth! So send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww, and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Grant me from myself what would Please You^-azwj with me, and Take for Yourself^-azwj its satisfaction from myself!

إِلَهِي لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِالْجَهْدِ وَ لَا صَبْرَ لِي عَلَى الْبَلَاءِ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ لِي عَلَى الْفَقْرِ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَحْظُرْ عَلَيَّ رِزْقَكَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ لَا تُلْجِئْنِي إِلَى خَلْقِكَ

My God^-azwj! There is no endurance for me with the effort, nor any patience for me upon the affliction, nor strength for me upon the poverty. So Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and do not Constrict the sustenance upon me in this Blessed month, nor Shelter me to Your^-azwj creatures!

بَلْ تَفَرَّدْ يَا سَيِّدِي بِحَاجَتِي وَ تَوَلَّ كِفَايَتِي وَ انْظُرْ فِي أُمُورِي فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ وَكَلْتَنِي إِلَى خَلْقِكَ تَجَهَّمُونِي وَ إِنْ أَلْجَأْتَنِي إِلَى أَهْلِي حَرَمُونِي وَ مَقَتُونِي وَ إِنْ‏ أَعْطَوْا أَعْطَوْا قَلِيلًا نَكِداً وَ مَنُّوا عَلَيَّ كَثِيراً وَ ذَمُّوا طَوِيلًا

But, O my Chief! Rather, You^-azwj Alone, fulfil my need, and Take care of my sufficiency. Look into my affairs, for if You^-azwj Entrust me to Your^-azwj creation, they will frown (look down) upon me, and if I seek refuge with my family, they will deny me and show me contempt, and if they give, they give little with grudging hearts, and they bestow much upon me while speaking ill of me for a long time!

فَبِفَضْلِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي فَأَغْنِنِي وَ بِعَطِيَّتِكَ فَانْعَشْنِي وَ بِسَعَتِكَ فَابْسُطْ يَدِي وَ بِمَا عِنْدَكَ فَاكْفِنِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

So, by Your^-azwj grace, O my Master, enrich me, and with Your^-azwj awards, Sustain me, and by Your^-azwj abundance, Extend Your^-azwj Hand to me, and by what is with You^-azwj, Suffice me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[113]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِمَّا مَضَى مِنْ ذُنُوبِي فَأُنْسِيتُهَا وَ هِيَ مُثْبَتَةٌ عَلَيَّ يُحْصِيهَا عَلَيَّ الْكِرَامُ الْكَاتِبُونَ يَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَفْعَلُ

Another supplication during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj from what has passed from my sins but I forgot these and these are affirmed upon me, the honourable recorders have counted these upon me. They know what I have done!

وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِنْ مُوبِقَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ مِنْ مُفْظِعَاتِ الذُّنُوبِ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ مِمَّا فَرَضَ عَلَيَّ فَتَوَانَيْتُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ مِنْ نِسْيَانِ الشَّيْ‏ءِ الَّذِي بَاعَدَنِي مِنْ رَبِّي

And I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj from the destructive sins, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness from the horrific sins, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness from what He^-azwj has Obligated upon me but I procrastinated, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness from forgetting the thing which distanced me from my Lord^-azwj!

وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ مِنَ الزَّلَّاتِ وَ الضَّلَالاتِ وَ مِمَّا كَسَبَتْ يَدِي وَ أُؤْمِنُ بِهِ وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْهِ كَثِيراً وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُهُ.

And I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness from the slips, and the straying, and from what my hands have earned, and I believe in Him^-azwj, and I rely upon Him^-azwj a lot, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness, and I seek His^-azwj Forgiveness!’’[114]

 دُعَاءُ يَوْمِ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَخْزُونِ الطَّاهِرِ الْمُطَهَّرِ يَا مَنِ اسْتَجَابَ لِأَبْغَضِ خَلْقِهِ إِلَيْهِ إِذْ قَالَ- أَنْظِرْنِي إِلى‏ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ‏ فَإِنِّي لَا أَكُونُ أَسْوَأَ حَالًا مِنْهُ فِيمَا سَأَلْتُكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي فِيمَا دَعَوْتُكَ وَ أَعْطِنِي يَا رَبِّ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ

Supplication of the twentieth day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^‑azwj Name, the Treasured, the Pure, the Purifying! O One Who Responded to the creature most Hateful to him when he^-la said, He said, ‘Respite me to the Day they would be Resurrected’ [7:14]! Surely, I cannot be of an eviler state than him^-la in what I am asking You^‑azwj, so Respond to me regarding what I am supplicating to You^-azwj and Grant me, O Lord^‑azwj what I am asking You^-azwj!

إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنَّ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَ تُقَاتِلُ بِهِ عَدُوَّكَ فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ- كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ‏ مَعَ أَحَبِّ خَلْقِكَ إِلَيْكَ فِي أَحَبِّ الْمَوَاطِنِ لَدَيْكَ

I ask You^-azwj, O my Chief, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make me from the ones You^-azwj are helped with for Your^-azwj religion, and battle Your^-azwj enemies with in the row which You^-azwj Mentioned in Your^-azwj Book: as if they were like a solid structure [61:4] with the creatures most Beloved to You^-azwj in the places most Beloved to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ فِي صُدُورِ الْكَافِرِينَ فَعَظِّمْنِي وَ فِي أَعْيُنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَجَلِّلْنِي وَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَذَلِّلْنِي وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَ بَغِّضْ إِلَيَّ مَنْ أَبْغَضْتَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِأَحَبِّ الْأُمُورِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَرْضَاهَا لَدَيْكَ

O Allah^-azwj, Magnify me in chests of the Kafirs, and Make me more majestic in eyes of the Momineen, and Make me humble within myself and my family members, and Make beloved to me one whom You^-azwj Love, and hateful to me one whom You^-azwj Hate, and Harmonise me to the matters Beloved to You^-azwj and most Pleasing to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ أَفِرُّ وَ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَوْفِي عَدْلَكَ وَ إِيَّاكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكَ لِأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا دُونَكَ وَ لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَسْتَتِرَ مِنْكَ فِي لَيْلٍ وَ لَا نَهَارٍ وَ أَنَا عَارِفٌ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ مُقِرٌّ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ أَحَطْتَ

O Allah^-azwj! I flee to You^-azwj from You^-azwj, and this is only out of my fear of Your^-azwj Justice, and it is You^-azwj I ask, by You,^-azwj because there is no one besides You^-azwj! I cannot hide from You^-azwj in the night or in the day, and I am aware of Your^-azwj Lordship and acknowledge Your^‑azwj Oneness!

يَا إِلَهِي خَبَراً بِأَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ- لَا يَشْغَلُكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ- إِنَّكَ‏ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

O my God^-azwj, Informer of people of the skies and people of the earth! A thing does not pre-occupy You^-azwj from a thing. There is no god except You^-azwj, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[115]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْمَذْكُورِ اللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ أَبْوَابَ الْجِنَانِ وَ أَغْلِقْ عَنِّي فِيهِ أَبْوَابَ النِّيرَانِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِتِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ يَا مُنْزِلَ السَّكِينَةِ فِي قُلُوبِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ.

Another supplication during the mentioned month – ‘O Allah^-azwj! During it Open upon me doors of the Gardens and Close from me doors of the Fires, and Harmonise me in it for reciting the Quran, O Descender of the tranquillity into hearts of the Momineen!’’[116]

أقول: ثم ساق الكلام في أعمال الليلة الحادية عشر منه على النهج الذي سننقله في باب أعمال ليالي الإحياء ثم قال رضي الله عنه.

I say, ‘Then he continued the speech regarding acts of worship of the night of the eleventh (twenty-first) from it upon the same manner which we will be transmitting in the chapter, ‘Amaal Layaali Al Ahyaa’. Then he, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, said: –

و فيها ما نختاره من عدة روايات منها الغسل الذي رويناه في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر.

And in it is what we have chosen from a number of reports. From these is the ritual bathing which we are reporting during every night of the last ten (days).

وَ مِنْهَا دُعَاءٌ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هُوَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ‏ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ تَبْهَرُ قُدْرَتُهُ الْأَفْكَارَ وَ يَمْلَأُ عَجَائِبُهُ الْأَبْصَارَ الَّذِي لَا يَنْقُصُهُ الْعَطَاءُ وَ لَا يَتَعَرَّضُ جُودَهُ الذَّكَاءُ الَّذِي أَنْطَقَ الْأَلْسُنَ بِصِفَاتِهِ وَ اقْتَدَرَ بِالْفِعْلِ عَلَى مَفْعُولَاتِهِ

And from these is a supplication we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is regarding night of the twenty-second – ‘Glorious is the One His^-azwj Power dazzles the thoughts, and His^-azwj wonders fill the sights, the One Whom the awards do not reduce Him^‑azwj nor is His^-azwj Generosity affected by the intelligent, the One Who Enabled tongues to speak of His^-azwj Attributes and Demonstrated His^-azwj Ability through His^-azwj Actions.

وَ أَدْخَلَ فِي صَلَاحِهَا الْفَسَادَ وَ عَلَى مُجْتَمَعِهَا الشَّتَاتَ وَ عَلَى مُنْتَظِمِهَا الِانْفِصَامَ لِيَدُلَّ الْمُبْصِرِينَ عَلَى أَنَّهَا فَانِيَةٌ مِنْ صَنْعَةِ بَاقٍ مَخْلُوقَةٌ مِنْ إِنْشَاءِ خَالِقٍ لَا بَقَاءَ وَ لَا دَوَامَ إِلَّا لَهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْغَالِبُ الَّذِي لَا يُغْلَبُ وَ الْمَالِكُ الَّذِي لَا يُمْلَكُ

He^-azwj Allowed corruption to enter what was righteous, separation to come to what was united, and rupture to affect what was connected, to Show the seeing ones that it is perishable, crafted by the Everlasting, Created by the Creator Who Alone remains. There is no permanence or endurance except for Him^-azwj, the One, the Prevailing, Who is never overcome, and the Owner Who is never owned!

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي بَلَّغَنِيكِ لَيْلَةً طَوَيْتُ يَوْمَهَا عَلَى صِيَامٍ وَ رُزِقْتُ فِيهِ الْيَقَظَةَ مِنَ الْمَنَامِ وَ قَصَدْتُ رَبَّ الْعِزَّةِ بِالْقِيَامِ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْهُ تَخُصُّنِي وَ نِعْمَةٍ أُلْبِسَتْنِي وَ حُسْنَى تَغُشُّنِي وَ أَسْأَلُهُ إِتْمَامَ ابْتِدَائِهِ وَ زِيَادَتِي مِنِ اجْتِبَائِهِ فَإِنَّهُ الْمَلِيكُ الْقَدِيرُ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً.

The Praise for Allah^-azwj Who Made me reach a night, after a day I had spent Fasting, and Blessed me with wakefulness after sleep. I sought the Lord^-azwj of Majesty by standing (in Salat), through His^-azwj Mercy which is particular to me, a bounty He has^-azwj Bestowed upon me, and His^-azwj goodness that envelops me. I ask Him^-azwj to Complete what He^-azwj has Begun and Increase me in His^-azwj Grace, for He^-azwj is the Sovereign, the Powerful, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant greetings!’’[117]

وَ مِنْهَا مَا ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ دُعَاءُ لَيْلَةِ اثْنَيْ وَ عِشْرِينَ‏ يَا سَالِخَ اللَّيْلِ مِنَ النَّهَارِ فَإِذَا نَحْنُ مُظْلِمُونَ وَ مُجْرِيَ الشَّمْسِ لِمُسْتَقَرِّهَا ذَلِكَ بِتَقْدِيرِكَ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا عَلِيمُ وَ مُقَدِّرَ الْقَمَرِ مَنازِلَ حَتَّى عادَ كَالْعُرْجُونِ الْقَدِيمِ

And from these is what is mentioned by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra in his book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’, a supplication of the night of twenty-second – ‘O Separator of the night from the day, and behold we are in darkness, and the sun flows to its settlement, that is due to Your^‑azwj Determination, O All-Knowing and Determiner of the moon of stages until it will return to be the old palm branch!

يَا نُورَ كُلِّ نُورٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ وَ وَلِيَّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ‏ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا مُدَبِّرَ الْأُمُورِ وَ مُجْرِيَ الْبُحُورِ وَ يَا بَاعِثَ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَ يَا مُلَيِّنَ الْحَدِيدِ لِدَاوُدَ ع

O Light of all lights and Ultimate of every desire, and Guardian of every bounty! O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, O Merciful, O Holy, O One, O Non-Hollow, O Individual, O Manager of the affairs, and Flower of the oceans, and O Resurrector of ones in the graves, and O Softener of the iron for Dawood^-as!

يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ وَ النَّعْمَاءُ

O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! For You^‑azwj are the most excellent Names and the exalted Example, and the Greatness, and the Favours, and the Bestowments!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ تَنَزُّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ- فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَاناً يُذْهِبُ الشَّكَّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, if You^‑azwj have Decreed during this night to Send down the Angels and the Spirit with every wise matter, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my name during this night to be among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in the Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgiven, and to Gift to me conviction to embrace my heart with, and Eman do remove the doubt from me, and Make me satisfied with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Fire!

O Lord^-azwj, and Provide me in it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thanking You^-azwj, and the desire, and being penitent to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the inclination to what You^-azwj had Harmonised Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, O the most Merciful of the Merciful ones, and do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ

O Lord^-azwj, and Enrich me with vast sustenance from You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Permissible from Your^-azwj Prohibition, and Grace me the chastity in my belly and my private parts, and Relieve from me every worry and sadness, and do not let my enemy to gloat over me, and Harmonise for me Laylat Al Qadr upon best of what anyone has seen, and Harmonise me to what You^-azwj had Harmonised Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings, and Do such and such with me, now, now!’ – until the breath is cut.

SECTION REGARDIGN WHAT SUPPLICATION IS SPECIFIC WITH THE TWENTY-SECOND DAY, WITHOUT REPETITION

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ الثَّانِي وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْبَصِيرِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَبْصَرَ مِنْهُ يُبْصِرُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ مَا تَحْتَ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ وَ يُبْصِرُ مَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ-

A supplication on the twenty-second day of a month of Ramazan – ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj the Seeing Who, there isn’t anything more seeing than Him^-azwj! He^-azwj Sees from above His^-azwj Throne what is beneath the seven earths, and He^-azwj Sees in darkness(es) of the land and the sea.

لا تُدْرِكُهُ الْأَبْصارُ وَ هُوَ يُدْرِكُ الْأَبْصارَ وَ هُوَ اللَّطِيفُ الْخَبِيرُ لَا تَغْشَى بَصَرَهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ وَ لَا يُسْتَتَرُ عَنْهُ بِسَتْرٍ وَ لَا يُوَارِي مِنْهُ جِدَارٌ وَ لَا يَغِيبُ عَنْهُ بَرٌّ وَ لَا بَحْرٌ وَ لَا يُكِنُّ مِنْهُ جَبَلٌ مَا فِي أَصْلِهِ وَ لَا قَلْبٌ مَا فِيهِ وَ لَا يَسْتَتِرُ مِنْهُ صَغِيرٌ وَ لَا كَبِيرٌ وَ لَا يَسْتَخْفِي مِنْهُ صَغِيرٌ لِصِغَرِهِ وَ لا يَخْفى‏ عَلَيْهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لا فِي السَّماءِ- هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحامِ كَيْفَ يَشاءُ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ‏

Visions cannot realise Him, and He Realises the visions; and He is the Knower of the subtleties, the Aware [6:103]. Neither do the darkness(es) overwhelm Him^-azwj nor can any veil conceal from Him^-azwj, nor can a wall cover from Him^-azwj, nor is a land hidden from Him^‑azwj, nor sea, nor can a mountain hide what is in its base, nor a hear what is in it, nor is a small concealed from Him^-azwj nor big, nor is anything small concealed from Him^-azwj due to its smallness! nothing is hidden from Him in the earth nor in the sky [3:5] He is the One Who Shapes you in the wombs however He so Desires to; there is no god except Him, the Mighty, the Wise [3:6]!

ذَلِكَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ‏.

That is Allah^-azwj! Glorious is Allah^-azwj, Maker of the person! Glorious is Allah^-azwj the Shaper! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of the spouses, all of them! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Maker of the darkness(es) and the Light! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Splitter of the seed and the kernel! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of all things! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of what is seen and what is not seen! Glorious is Allah^-azwj the extent of His^-azwj Words! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[120]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِمُوجِبَاتِ مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ أَسْكِنِّي بِبَرَكَتِهِ بُحْبُوحَةَ جِنَانِكَ يَا مُجِيبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّينَ.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send down Blessings upon me during it and Harmonise me in it for obligating Your^-azwj Pleasure, and Settle me with its Blessings affluence of Your^-azwj Gardens, O Responder to supplications of the desperate!’’[121]

أقول: ثم ساق الكلام في أعمال الليلة الثالثة عشر منه على النهج الذي سننقله في باب أعمال ليالي القدر ثم قال رحمه الله. فمن ذلك تعيين فضل الغسل في ليلة أربع و عشرين من شهر رمضان.

I say, ‘Then he continued the speech regarding acts of worship of the thirteenth (twenty-third) from it, upon the same manner which we will be transmitting in the chapter ‘Amaal Laylaali Al Qadr’, then he, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said, ‘From that is specific merit of the ritual bathing during the night of the twenty-fourth of a month of Ramazan.

رَوَيْنَاهُ‏ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع اغْتَسِلْ فِي لَيْلَةِ أَرْبَعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَعْمَلَ فِي اللَّيْلَتَيْنِ جَمِيعاً.

We are reporting by our chain to Abu Al-Hassan Bin Saeed from the book of Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al Nahdy, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hareez, from Abdul Rahman son of Abu Abdullah^-asws, said, ‘Abu Abdullah^-asws said to me: ‘Have a bath during night of twenty-fourth of a month of Ramazan. What is against you if you were to do so during both the nights together?’’[122]

أقول: و قد قدمنا في عمل ليلة إحدى و عشرين‏ رواية يغسل كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر أيضا. و من ذلك صلاة الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها ثمان منها بين العشاءين و اثنان و عشرون بعد العشاء الآخرة و قد تقدم وصف هذه الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها عشرون منها في أول ليلة من الشهر و عشر ركعات في جملة صلاة ليلة تسع عشرة.

I say, ‘And we have forwarded regarding acts of night of the twenty-first a report of bathing every night from the last ten as well, and from that is Salat of thirty units and its supplications, eight of these (units) between Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha, and twenty-one after Al-Isha the last, and we have forwarded description of these thirty units and their supplications, twenty of these in the first night of the month, and ten units in total Salat of the night of nineteenth.

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ دُعَاءٌ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هُوَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شَفْعاً وَ وَتْراً الشَّفْعُ وَ الْوَتْرُ مِنْ هَذِهِ اللَّيَالِي الْمُبَارَكَاتِ وَ عَلَى مَا مَنَحَنِي وَ أَعْطَانِي فِيهِنَّ مِنَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ وَهَبَهُ لِي مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ الَّذِي صَوَّمَنِي لِيَأْجُرَنِي وَ فَطَّرَنِي عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنِي

And from that is a supplication we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is during the night of the twenty-fourth – ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj for the even as well as the odd. The even and the odd are from these Blessed nights, and for what He^-azwj has Granted and Given me in them of goodness, and for what He^-azwj has Bestowed upon me and Gifted to me from the enduring good deeds. He^-azwj Made me Fast to Reward me, and He^-azwj Made me break my Fast with what He^-azwj Provided for me!

فَكُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ بِمِنَنِهِ وَ بِحُسْنِ اخْتِيَارِهِ وَ نَظَرِهِ لِعَبِيدِهِ سُبْحَانَهُ سَيِّداً أَخَذَ بِيَدِي مِنَ الْوَرَطَاتِ وَ مَحَّصَ عَنِّي الْخَطِيئَاتِ وَ كَفَانِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ أَغْنَانِي عَنِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِي إِلَى الْمَرْزُوقِينَ وَ شَهَرَ ذِكْرِي فِي الْعَالَمِينَ وَ جَعَلَ اسْمِي فِي الْمَذْكُورِينَ وَ لَمْ يُشْقِنِي بِعُجْبٍ يَحُطُّنِي عَنْ دَرَجَاتٍ رَفِيعَةٍ

All is from Him^-azwj, by His^-azwj Grace, His^-azwj good Choice, and His^-azwj Care for His^-azwj servants, glory be to Him^-azwj. A Master who has Taken my hand out of difficulties, Purified me from sins, Sufficed me from worries, and Made me independent of the creation. He^-azwj did not Make my sustenance dependent on the provided ones. He^-azwj Made my remembrance known among the people, Placed my name among those who are remembered, and did not burden me with arrogance that would lower me from high ranks!

فَيُهْوِيَ بِي إِلَى ظُلَمِ غَضَبِهِ وَ نَقِمَتِهِ وَ لَا أَبْلَانِي بِاسْتِحْلَالٍ يَنْزِعُ عَنِّي مَلَابِسَ رَحِمَتِهِ وَ يُعَوِّضُنِي لَبُوسَ الذُّلِّ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ إِيَّاهُ أَشْكُرَ وَ لَهُ أَعْبُدُ وَ مِنْهُ أَرْجُو التَّمَامَ وَ الْمَزِيدَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.

So that I may not be cast into the darkness of His wrath and vengeance, and that I may not be tested with the transgression that strips me of the garments of His^-azwj Mercy and replaces them with the clothing of humiliation from His^-azwj Wrath. To Him^-azwj I give thanks, Him^-azwj I worship, and from Him^-azwj I hope for completion and increase. There is no power and no strength except with Allah^-azwj, the Exalted, the Magnificent, and my Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon the Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and abundant greetings!’’[123]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ بِرِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ هَذَا يَا فَالِقَ الْإِصْبَاحِ يَا جَاعِلَ اللَّيْلِ سَكَناً وَ الشَّمْسِ وَ الْقَمَرِ حُسْبَاناً يَا عَزِيزُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا ذَا الْمَنِّ وَ الطَّوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَ الْإِنْعَامِ وَ الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ

And from that is the supplication specific with this night by a report of Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, and it is this – ‘O Splitter of the morning, O Maker of the night tranquil, and the sun and the moon for calculations! O Mighty, O All-Knowing, O with the Conferment, and the Leniency, and the Strength, and the Might, and the Merit, and the Favours, and the Majesty, and the Benevolence!

يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا فَرْدُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا وَتْرُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا ظَاهِرُ يَا بَاطِنُ يَا حَيُّ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ وَ النَّعْمَاءُ

O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah^-azwj, O Individual! O Allah^-azwj, O Single! O Allah^-azwj, O Apparent, O Hidden, O Living, O there is no god except You^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj are the most excellent Names and the exalted examples, and the Greatness, and the Favours, and the bounties!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ تَنَزُّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ اسْمِي فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَاناً يَذْهَبُ بِالشَّكِّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, if You^‑azwj have Decreed during this night the descent of the Angels and the Holy Spirit with every wise matter, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my name among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in the Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgiven, and to Grant conviction to me to embrace my heart with, and Eman to do away the doubts from me, and Make me to be satisfied with whatever You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and Save me from Punishment of the Fire!

وَ ارْزُقْنِي يَا رَبِّ فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ شِيعَةَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّي بِطَلَبِ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

O Lord^-azwj, and Grace me to do Your^-azwj Zikr and thanking You^-azwj, and the desire, and the penitence to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the inclination to what You^-azwj have Harmonised the Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, and do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَلَامُكَ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ-

O Lord^-azwj, and Enrich me with vast sustenance from You^-azwj with Your^-azwj Permissible from Your^-azwj Prohibited, and Grace me the chastity in my belly and my private parts, and Relieve from me every worry and sadness, and do not let my enemy to gloat with me, and Harmonise for me Laylat Al-Qadr upon best of what anyone has seen, and Harmonise me to what You^‑azwj had Harmonised Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be Your^-azwj Greeting and Do such and such with me, now, now!’ – until the breath is cut.

زِيادةٌ بغير الرواية- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي سُؤَالَ مِسْكِينٍ فَقِيرٍ إِلَيْكَ خَائِفٍ مُسْتَجِيرٍ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُجِيرَنِي مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مِنْ عَذَابِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ تُضَاعِفَ لِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْعَظِيمِ عَمَلِي وَ تَرْحَمَ مَسْكَنَتِي وَ تَجَاوَزَ عَمَّا أَحْصَيْتَهُ عَلَيَّ وَ خَفِيَ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ سَتَرْتَهُ عَلَيَّ مَنّاً مِنْكَ وَ تُسَلِّمَنِي مِنْ شَيْنِهِ وَ فَضِيحَتِهِ وَ عَارِهِ فِي عَاجِلِ الدُّنْيَا

Additional with another report – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj, O my Chief, a request by a needy, poor to You^-azwj, fearing, seeking shelter! I ask You^-azwj, O my Chief, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and to Refuge me from disgrace of the world and from Punishment of the Hereafter, and in this night and in this month Multiply for me my mighty deeds, and Mercy my neediness, and Overlook from what You^-azwj have Counted against me and is hidden from Your^-azwj creatures and You^-azwj Concealed upon me as Conferment from You^-azwj, and Keep me safe from disgrace and scandal, and shame in the current world!

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ بِسَتْرِ ذَلِكَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ تُسَلِّمَنِي مِنْ فَضِيحَتِهِ وَ عَارِهِ بِمَنِّكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

For You^-azwj is the Praise upon that and upon all situations, and I ask You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Complete Your^-azwj bounties upon me with Concealment of that in the Hereafter and to Keep me safe from scandal and shame with Your^-azwj Conferment and Your^-azwj Favour, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[124]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ أَمَرْتَ بِالدُّعَاءِ وَ ضَمِنْتَ الْإِجَابَةَ فَدَعَوْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ وَ بَنُو إِمَائِكَ وَ نَوَاصِينَا بِيَدِكَ وَ أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَ نَحْنُ عِبَادُكَ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ الْعِبَادُ مِثْلَكَ وَ نَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ يَرْغَبِ الْخَلَائِقُ إِلَى مِثْلِكَ

Another supplicating during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj have Commanded with the supplicating and have Guaranteed the Response, so we are supplicating to You^-azwj and we are Your^-azwj servants and sons of Your^-azwj maids, and our forelocks are in Your^-azwj Hand (control), and You^-azwj are our Lord^-azwj and we are Your^-azwj servants, and the servants have not asked the likes of You^-azwj, and we are desirous to You^-azwj and the creatures have not desired to the likes of You^-azwj!

يَا مَوْضِعَ شَكْوَى السَّائِلِينَ وَ مُنْتَهَى حَاجَةِ الرَّاغِبِينَ وَ يَا ذَا الْجَبَرُوتِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ وَ يَا ذَا السُّلْطَانِ وَ الْعِزِّ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا بَارُّ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا بَدِيعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا ذَا النِّعَمِ الْجِسَامِ وَ الطَّوْلِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ‏ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

O Place of complaints of the beggars and Ultimate need of the desiring ones, and O with the Force and the Domains, and O with the Authority and the Might! O Living, O Eternal, O Maker, O Merciful, O Affectionate, O Bestower, O Initiator of the skies and the earth, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O with the immense bounties and the Leniency which cannot be breached! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Forgive for me, surely You^-azwj are the Forgiver, the Merciful!’’[125]

He^-azwj Causes the living to die and Revives the dead, and he^-azwj Knows what We have Known what the earth diminishes from them, [50:4], and Settles in the wombs whatever He^-azwj Desires up to a specified term. Glorious is Allah^-azwj, Maker of the person! Glorious is Allah^-azwj the Fashioner! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of the spouses, all of them!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ‏ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‏.

Another supplication during the twenty-fourth day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj in it for what Pleases You^-azwj, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj in it from what bothers You^-azwj, and the inclination to obey You^-azwj and not to disobey You^-azwj! O Know of situations of the beggars!’’[127]

فمن ذلك الغسل المشار إليه في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر و قد قدمنا رواية بذلك في عمل ليلة إحدى و عشرين‏ و من ذلك تعيين فضل الغسل ليلة خمس و عشرين منه‏

From that is the ritual bathing indicated to during every night from the last ten, and we have forwarded a report of that regarding acts of worship of night of the twenty-first, and from what is specific merit of the ritual bath on the night of the twenty-fifth from it.

رَوَاهَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عِيسَى بْنِ رَاشِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الْغُسْلِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ كَانَ أَبِي يَغْتَسِلُ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ خَمْسٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ.

It is reported by Ali Bin Abdul Wahid, by his chain to Isa Bin Rashid, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the ritual bathing during a month of Ramazan. He^‑asws said: ‘My^-asws father^-asws used to bath during the nineteenth, and twenty-first, and twenty-third, and twenty-fifth’’.[128]

و من ذلك صلاة الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها ثمان منها بين العشاءين و اثنان و عشرون بعد العشاء الآخرة و قد تقدم وصف هذه الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها عشرون منها في أول ليلة من الشهر و عشر ركعات في جملة صلاة ليلة تسع عشرة.

We are reporting by our chain to Hanan Bin Sadeyr, from the book of Al-Nahdy, from Ibn Abu Yafour, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the ritual bath during month of Ramazan. He^-asws said: ‘Bath on the night of the nineteenth, and twenty-first, and twenty-third, and twenty-seventh, and twenty-ninth’’.[137]

و من ذلك صلاة ثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها ثمان منها بين العشاءين و اثنان و عشرون بعد العشاء الآخرة و قد تقدم وصف هذه الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها عشرون منها في أول ليلة من الشهر و عشر ركعات من جملة صلاة ليلة تسع عشرة.

And from that is Salat of thirty units and its supplications, either of these between Al Maghrib and Al Isha, and twenty-two after Al-Isha the last, and the description of these thirty units and its supplications has preceded, twenty of these in the first night of the month, and ten units from a total of Salat on the night of nineteenth.

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ دُعَاءٌ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ لَيْلَةِ سَبْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ بَدَائِعَهُ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ مَلَكَ الْأُمُورَ بِعِزَّتِهِ

And from that is a supplication we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is a supplication on night of the twenty-seventh – ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Created His^-azwj wonders by His^-azwj Power, and Controls the matters by His^-azwj Might!

وَ عَدَلَ فَلَا يَجُورُ وَ أَنْصَفَ فَلَا يَحِيفُ وَ كَيْفَ يَجُورُ وَ يَحِيفُ عَلَى مَنْ سَمَّاهُ بِالضَّعْفِ وَ قَرَعَهُ بِالْفَقْرِ وَ نَبَّهَهُ عَلَى الْغِنَاءِ الْأَكْبَرِ مِنْ رِضْوَانِهِ وَ دَعَاهُ إِلَى الْحَظِّ الْأَوْفَرِ مِنْ غُفْرَانِهِ وَ أَشْرَعَ لَهُ إِلَى ذَلِكَ السَّبِيلِ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَلِجَهَا بِصَالِحِ الْعَمَلِ

And He^-azwj Acts with justice, so He^-azwj does no Wrong, and He^-azwj is Fair, so He^-azwj does not Oppress. How could He^-azwj Wrong or Oppress the one whom He^-azwj Named as weak, Tested with poverty, and Made aware of the greatest wealth in His^-azwj Pleasure? He^-azwj Called him to the most ample-share of His^-azwj Forgiveness and Opened the path towards it, Commanding him to walk upon it with righteous deeds!

لَمْ يُتَّهَمْ بِالشِّقْوَةِ مَنْ أَمَرَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ وَ أَوْعَدَ بِالْجَوْرِ عَلَى الْعَبِيدِ بَلْ أَوْجَبَ الْعِقَابَ عَلَى فَاسِقِهِمْ وَ الثَّوَابَ لِمَنْ نَهَاهُمْ مَنْ هُوَ أَشْفَقُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أُمِّ الْفُرُوخِ عَلَى فَرْخِهَا تَعَالَى اللَّهُ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً

One Who Commands Mercy and warns against injustice can be accused of causing hardship upon His^-azwj servants. Rather, He^-azwj Made Punishment obligatory upon the sinner and Reward upon the righteous, as He^-azwj is more Compassionate to them than a mother bird is to her chicks. Exalted is Allah^-azwj above what the wrongdoers say, Lofty, Great!

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ صَوَّمَنِي مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ وَ مَنْ فَرَقُهُ بِمَا يُوَرِّطُنِي فِي أَلِيمِ الْعَذَابِ يُخَلِّصُنِي مِنَ الْعِقَابِ بِصِيَامٍ أَوْجَبَ لِيَ الثَّوَابَ

Glory be to the One^-azwj Who (during the Month of Ramazan) has Kept me away from food and drink, Who prevents me from actions that would lead me into painful Punishment, and Who delivers me from Punishment through Fasting, which He^-azwj has Made for me a source of Reward.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى أَنْ هَدَانِي وَ عَافَانِي وَ كَفَانِي كَمَا يَسْتَحِقُّ الْجَوَادَ الْكَرِيمَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً.

Praise be to Allah^-azwj for Guiding, Protecting, and Sufficing me, as is befitting of the Generous, Noble One! O the most Merciful of the merciful ones! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the goodly, the Pure, and abundant greetings!’’[138]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ بِرِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ لَيْلَةِ سَبْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ‏ يَا مَادَّ الظِّلِّ وَ لَوْ شِئْتَ جَعَلْتَهُ سَاكِناً ثُمَّ جَعَلْتَ الشَّمْسَ عَلَيْهِ دَلِيلًا ثُمَّ قَبَضْتَهُ إِلَيْكَ قَبْضاً يَسِيراً يَا ذَا الْحَوْلِ وَ الطَّوْلِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ وَ الْآلَاءِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ- عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ

And from that is what supplication is specific with this night by a report of Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, and it is a supplication on the night of twenty-seventh – ‘O Extender of the shade, and had He^-azwj so Desired, He^-azwj would have Made it still. Then He^‑azwj Made the sun a pointer upon it then You^-azwj Grasped it to You^-azwj an easy Grasp! O with the Might, and the Leniency, and the Greatness, and the Favours! There is no god except You^-azwj, Knower of the unseen and the seen!

يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ- لَا إِلَهَ أَنْتَ يَا مَلِكُ يَا قُدُّوسُ يَا سَلَامُ يَا مُؤْمِنُ يَا مُهَيْمِنُ يَا عَزِيزُ يَا جَبَّارُ يَا مُتَكَبِّرُ يَا خَالِقُ يَا بَارِئُ يَا مُصَوِّرُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ وَ النَّعْمَاءُ

O Beneficent, O Merciful! There is no god except You^-azwj! O Kind, O Holy, O Granter of Peace, O Granter of Security, O Dominant, O Mighty, O Subduer, O Great, O Creator, O Maker, O Fashioner! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^‑azwj! For You^-azwj are the most excellent Names and the exalted examples, and the Greatness, and the Favours, and the bounties!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ إِنْ كُنْتَ قَضَيْتَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ تَنَزُّلَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلِ اسْمِي‏ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ وَ رُوحِي مَعَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ إِحْسَانِي فِي عِلِّيِّينَ وَ إِسَاءَتِي مَغْفُورَةً

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’. If You^‑azwj have Decreed during this night the descent of Angels and the Spirit with every wise matter. Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Make my name among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in the Illiyeen and my evil deeds Forgiven!

وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَاناً يَذْهَبُ بِالشَّكِّ عَنِّي وَ تُرْضِيَنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ شِيعَةَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And Gift to me conviction to embrace my heart with, and Eman to do away the doubt from me, and Make me satisfied with whatever You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Fire, and Grace me in it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thanking You^-azwj, and the desire, and the penitence to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the inclination to what You^-azwj have Harmonised Shias of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّي بِطَلَبِ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ

And do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength, and Enrich me, O Lord^-azwj, with vast sustenance from You^-azwj with Your^-azwj Permissible and Your^-azwj Prohibited, and Grace me the chastity in my belly and my private pasts, and Relieve from me every worry and sadness, and do not let my enemy to gloat with me and Harmonise me to Laylat Al Qadr upon best of what anyone has seen!

وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ.

And Harmonise me to what You^-azwj had Harmonised Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings, and Do such and such with me, now, now!’ – until the breath is cut’’.[139]

وَ مِمَّا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى زَيْدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع- لَيْلَةَ سَبْعٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ يَقُولُ مِنْ أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ-

And from what we are reporting by our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, by his chain to Zayd son of Ali (Bin Al-Husayn^-asws), he said, ‘I heard my father Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws on the night of twenty-seventh of a month of Ramazan saying, from beginning of the night to its end: –

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي التَّجَافِيَ عَنْ دَارِ الْغُرُورِ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَى دَارِ الْخُلُودِ وَ الِاسْتِعْدَادَ لِلْمَوْتِ قَبْلَ حُلُولِ الْفَوْتِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! Grace me to forsake the house of deception and the inclining to the house of eternity, and the preparing for the death before the permeation of the death!’

زِيَادَةٌ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ وَ أُقْسِمُ عَلَيْكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّاكَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي حَقَّ عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَ مَنْ دَعَاكَ بِهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُسْعِدَنِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ سَعَادَةً لَا أَشْقَى بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Additional – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj and swear upon You^-azwj with every Name of Yours^-azwj anyone from Your^-azwj creatures has named You^-azwj with or You^-azwj have Preferred  with in Knowledge of the unseen with You^-azwj; and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Mighty Name which there is a right upon You^-azwj to Respond to the one supplicating to You^-azwj with it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-azwj and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make me fortunate in this night with such good fortune I will not be wretched after it, ever, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[140]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ- رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى‏ رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ-

Another supplication during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘Our Lord! We believe 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] Our Lord! And Grant us what You Promised us by Your Rasool(s) and do not Disgrace on the Day of Resurrection; surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]!

رَبَّنا أَمَتَّنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ وَ أَحْيَيْتَنَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فَاعْتَرَفْنا بِذُنُوبِنا فَهَلْ إِلى‏ خُرُوجٍ مِنْ سَبِيلٍ‏- رَبَّنَا اصْرِفْ عَنَّا عَذابَ جَهَنَّمَ إِنَّ عَذابَها كانَ غَراماً-

‘Our Lord! You Made us die twice, and twice have You Given us life, so we do acknowledge our sins. So is there any way out?’ [40:11] ‘Our Lord! Turn away from us the Punishment of Hell! Surely, its Punishment would be inseparable [25:65].

رَبَّنا هَبْ لَنا مِنْ أَزْواجِنا وَ ذُرِّيَّاتِنا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَ اجْعَلْنا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِماماً- رَبَّنا عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْنا وَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَبْنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ- رَبَّنا لا تَجْعَلْنا فِتْنَةً لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا-

‘Our Lord! Grant to us from our wives and our offspring, delight of our eyes, and Make us Imams for the pious [25:74] ‘Our Lord! Upon You we rely, and to You we are penitent, and to You is the destination!’ [60:4] Our Lord! Do not Make us to be a Fitna for those who commit Kufr [60:5].

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]’’.[141]

فصل فيما يختص باليوم السابع و العشرين من دعاء

SECTION REGARDING THE SUPPLICATION SPECIFIC WITH THE TWENTY-SEVENTH DAY

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ السَّابِعِ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ‏ مَفاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ- لا يَعْلَمُها إِلَّا هُوَ وَ يَعْلَمُ ما فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ وَ ما تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُها وَ لا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لا رَطْبٍ وَ لا يابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ‏

A supplication of the twenty-seventh day of a month of Ramazan – ‘Glorious is the One in Whose Hand are the keys of the unseen – none knows it except Him, and He Knows what is in the land and the sea, and there does not fall a leaf except He Knows it, nor a seed in the darkness of the earth, nor any wet nor dry except it is in an apparent Book [6:59]!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ‏ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‏ ثَلَاثاً.

Glorious is Allah^-azwj Maker of the person! Glorious is Allah^-azwj the Fashioner! Glorious is Allah^‑azwj Creator of the spouses, all of them! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Maker of the darkness(es) and the light! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Splitter of the seed and the kernel! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of all things! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator of what is seen and what is not seen! Glorious is Allah^-azwj the extent of His^-azwj Words! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’ – thrice’’.[142]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهِ فَضْلَ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ صَيِّرْ أُمُورِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْعُسْرِ إِلَى الْيُسْرِ وَ اقْبَلْ مَعَاذِيرِي وَ حُطَّ عَنِّي الْوِزْرَ يَا رَءُوفاً بِعِبَادِهِ الصَّالِحِينَ‏.

Another supplicating during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Grace me in its merits of Laylat Al-Qadr, and Make my affairs in it from the difficulty to the ease, and Accept my apologies, and Drop the burdens from me, O Kind with His^-azwj righteous servants!’’[143]

فمن ذلك الغسل المذكور في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر و من ذلك صلاة الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها ثمان منها بين العشاءين و اثنان و عشرون بعد العشاء الآخرة و قد تقدم‏ وصف هذه الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها عشرون منها في أول ليلة من الشهر و عشر ركعات في جملة صلاة ليلة تسع عشرة و من ذلك ما يختص بهذه الليلة من الدعاء برواية محمد بن أبي قرة رحمه الله و هو دعاء ليلة ثمان و عشرين.

Among these practices is the mentioned ritual bathing on each night of the last ten nights. Also included is the performance of thirty units of Salat along with their respective supplications – eight of which are performed between the two evening Salats (Maghrib and Al-Isha) and twenty-two after Al-Isha the last. The description of these thirty units of prayer and their supplications has already been detailed – twenty are performed on the first night of the month, and ten are performed as part of the Salat on the night of the nineteenth. Additionally, there is a specific supplication for this night as narrated by Muhammad Ibn Abi Qurrah, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, which is the supplication for the night of the twenty-eighth: –

يَا خَازِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي الْهَوَاءِ وَ خَازِنَ النُّورِ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ يَا مَانِعَ السَّمَاءِ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِ وَ حَابِسَهُمَا أَنْ تَزُولَا يَا حَلِيمُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا دَائِمُ يَا اللَّهُ‏ يَا قَرِيبُ يَا بَاعِثَ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ

‘O Treasurer of the night in the air and Treasurer of the light in the sky, and O Prevented of the sky from falling upon the earth except by His^-azwj Permission and its Withholder from moving! O Forbearing, O All-Knowing, O Permanent, O Allah^-azwj, O Near, O Resurrector of the ones in the graves!

يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ وَ النَّعْمَاءُ

O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! O Allah^‑azwj! For You^-azwj are the most excellent Names and the exalted examples, and the Greatness, and the Favour and the bounties!

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’. If You^‑azwj have Decreed in this night descent of the Angels and the Spirit with every wise matter, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my name among the fortunate ones, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgiven, and Gift to me conviction to embrace my heart with, and Eman to remove the doubt from me, and Make me to be satisfied with what You^-azwj Apportioned for me, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Fire!

وَ ارْزُقْنِي يَا رَبِّ فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ شِيعَةَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّي بِطَلَبِ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

O Lord^-azwj, and Grace me in it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thanking You^-azwj, and the desire and the penitence to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the inclination to what You^-azwj have Inclined Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and to do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ زِيَادَةٌ-

Relive from me every worry and sadness, and do not let my enemy to gloat with me, and Harmonise for me Laylat Al-Qadr upon best of what anyone has seen, and Harmonises me for what You^-azwj had Harmonised Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, and Do such and such with me, now, now!’ – until the breath is cut.

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَهَبَ لِي قَلْباً خَاشِعاً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ جَسَداً صَابِراً وَ تَجْعَلَ ثَوَابَ ذَلِكَ الْجَنَّةَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Another supplication during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘We believe in Allah^‑azwj we deny the superstitions and the false gods, with the One^‑azwj Who does not die! We believe in the One Who Created the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and the animals, and Created the Jinn and the humans.

آمَنَّا بِالَّذِي أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْنا وَ أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكُمْ وَ إِلهُنا وَ إِلهُكُمْ واحِدٌ وَ نَحْنُ لَهُ مُسْلِمُونَ‏- آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ هارُونَ وَ مُوسى‏ آمَنَّا بِرَبِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ آمَنَّا بِمَنْ أَنْشَأَ السَّحَابَ وَ خَلَقَ الْعَذَابَ وَ الْعِقَابَ آمَنَّا آمَنَّا آمَنَّا آمَنَّا آمَنَّا آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ.

We believe in the One^‑azwj Who Grows the clouds and Created the Punishment and the Torment! We believe, We believe, We believe, We believe, We believe, We believe in Allah^-azwj!’’[145]

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي لَا يُحْصِي مِدْحَتَهُ الْقَائِلُونَ وَ لَا يَجْزِي بِآلَائِهِ الشَّاكِرُونَ الْعَابِدُونَ وَ هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ وَ فَوْقَ مَا نَقُولُ وَ اللَّهُ كَمَا أَثْنَى عَلَى نَفْسِهِ‏ وَ لا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ‏ عِلْمِهِ إِلَّا بِما شاءَ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ لا يَؤُدُهُ حِفْظُهُما وَ هُوَ الْعَلِيُّ الْعَظِيمُ‏

Glorious is the One Who the speakers cannot count His^-azwj Praises, nor can the appreciative worshippers suffice for His^-azwj Favours, and He^-azwj is just as He^-azwj Said and above what we are saying, and Allah^-azwj is just as He^-azwj has Praised upon Himself^-azwj, they are not encompassing anything from His Knowledge except with whatever He so Desires; His Chair contains the skies and the earth, and their preservation does not tire Him; and He is the Exalted, the Magnificent [2:255]!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ثَلَاثاً.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make plentiful my share of optional Salats in it, and Honour me in it by Granting clear understanding and insight into matters, and Bring me closer to You among all means of approach, O You^-azwj Who is not pre-occupied insistence of the insisting ones!’’[147]

فمن ذلك الغسل المشار إليه في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر و قد قدمنا رواية بذلك و ذكرنا رواية أخرى في عمل ليلة سبع و عشرين يقتضي الأمر بتعيين الغسل ليلة تسع و عشرين منه.

This includes the ritual bathing indicated to in each night of the last ten nights, as we have previously narrated, along with another narration regarding the practices for the night of the twenty-seventh, which suggests performing a designated bathing on the night of the twenty-ninth.

و من ذلك صلاة الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها ثمان منها بين العشاءين و اثنان و عشرون بعد العشاء الآخرة و قد تقدم وصف هذه الثلاثين ركعة و أدعيتها عشرون منها في أول ليلة من الشهر و عشر ركعات من جملة صلاة ليلة تسع عشرة و من ذلك ما يختص بهذه الليلة من الدعاء برواية محمد بن أبي قرة رحمه الله و هو دعاء ليلة تسع و عشرين.

And from that is Salat of thirty units along with their respective supplications—eight of which are performed between the two evening prayers (Maghrib and Al-Isha) and twenty-two after Al-Isha the last. The description of these thirty units of Salat and their supplications has already been given – twenty are performed on the first night of the month, and ten are part of the prayer on the night of the nineteenth. Additionally, there is a specific supplication for this night as narrated by Muhammad ibn Abi Qurrah, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, which is the supplication for the night of the twenty-ninth: –

يَا مُكَوِّرَ اللَّيْلِ عَلَى النَّهَارِ وَ مُكَوِّرَ النَّهَارِ عَلَى اللَّيْلِ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ سَيِّدَ السَّادَاتِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ وَ النَّعْمَاءُ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’. If You^‑azwj have Decreed during this night descent of the Angels and the Spirits with every wise matter, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my name among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgive, and Gift to me conviction embracing my heart with it, and Eman to remove the doubts from me, and to Make me satisfied with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and Save me from Punishment of the Fire!

O Lord^-azwj, and Grace me during it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thanking You^-azwj, and the desire and the penitence to You^-azwj, and the repentance and the inclination to what You^-azwj have Inclined Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

وَ أَغْنِنِي يَا رَبِّ بِرِزْقٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعٍ بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعِفَّةَ فِي بَطْنِي وَ فَرْجِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي كُلَّ هَمٍّ وَ غَمٍّ وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ.

Another supplication during this night, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘I have relied upon the Chief Who cannot be overcome by anyone! I have relied upon the Subduer Who cannot be coerced by anyone! I have relied upon the Mighty, the Merciful Who Sees me when I stand and turn among the Sajdah performers!

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي‏ يَعْلَمُ ما يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ ما يَخْرُجُ مِنْها وَ ما يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ ما يَعْرُجُ فِيها وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ مَا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا عَمَّا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ مَا يَلِجُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ مَا يَخْرُجُ مِنْهَا عَمَّا يَنْزِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ مَا يَعْرُجُ فِيهَا

Supplication of the twenty-ninth day of a month of Ramazan – ‘Glory be to the One Who Knows what enters into the earth and what comes out from it, and what descends from the sky and what ascends to it, [34:2]. It does not pre-occupy Him^-azwj what descends from the sky and what ascends into it, from what permeates into the earth and what emerges from it, nor what permeates into the earth and what emerges from it pre-occupy Him^-azwj from what descends from the sky and what ascends into it!

وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ عِلْمُ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَنْ عِلْمِ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ خَلْقُ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَنْ خَلْقِ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا حِفْظُ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَنْ حِفْظِ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ لَا يُسَاوِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ لَا يَعْدِلُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ

Neither does His^-azwj Knowing a thing pre-occupy Him^-azwj from Knowing (another) thing, nor does His^-azwj Creating a thing pre-occupy Him^-azwj from Creating (another) thing, nor does His^‑azwj Preserving a thing (pre-occupy Him^-azwj) from Preserving (another) thing, nor does anything equate to Him^-azwj nor is anything comparable to Him^-azwj! There is nothing like Him^‑azwj and He^-azwj is the Hearing, the Seeing!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ مِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ ثَلَاثاً.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Overwhelm me in it from the Mercy, and Grace me in it the inclination and the Protection, and Purify my heart from the depths of accusations, O Merciful with His^-azwj servants, the sinners!’’[151]

فمن ذلك الغسل المشار إليه بالحديث الذي رويناه عن النبي صلوات الله عليه أنه كان يغتسل في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر.

From that is the ritual bathing indicated to by the Hadeeth which we are reporting from the Prophet^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj upon him^-saww, he^-saww used to bathe during every night from the last ten.

و من ذلك زيارة الحسين صلوات الله عليه في آخر ليلة من شهر رمضان و قد قدمنا الرواية بذلك في عمل أول ليلة منه و من ذلك صلاة ثلاثين ركعة و قد تقدمت الإشارة إليها و من ذلك الأدعية التي يختص بهذه الليلة و قراءة شي‏ء معين و استغفار فمن الأدعية في هذه الليلة دعاء وجدناه في كتب أصحابنا العتيقة و هو دعاء ليلة الثلاثين.

And from that is visitation of (Shrine of) Al-Husayn^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws in the last night of a month of Ramazan, and we have forwarded the report with that regarding the acts of worship in the first night of it, and from that is Salat of thirty units, and the indication to is has preceded, and from that are supplication which are specific with this nights, and recitation of something specific, and seeking Forgiveness. From the supplications during this night is a supplication we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is a supplication of the night of the thirtieth: –

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَمَّلَ صِيَامِي أَيَّامَ شَهْرِهِ الشَّرِيفِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِفْطَارٍ وَ أَقْبَلَ بِوَجْهِي فِيهِ إِلَى طَاعَتِهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِدْبَارٍ وَ اسْتَنْهَضَنِي إِلَيْهِ لِلِاعْتِرَافِ بِذُنُوبِي مِنْ غَيْرِ إِصْرَارٍ وَ أَوْجَبَ لِي بِإِنْعَامِهِ الْإِقَالَةَ مِنَ الْعِثَارِ وَ وَفَّقَنِي لِلْقِيَامِ فِي لَيَالِيهِ إِلَيْهِ دَاعِياً وَ لَهُ مُنَادِياً

‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Perfected my Fasts of the month of Ramazan from without breaking, and during it diverted my face to obey Him^-azwj from without turning around, and Moved me to acknowledge my sins from without persisting, and Obligated for me the uprooting from the stumbles by His^-azwj Favour, and Inclined me for the standing (for Salat) during its night as a supplicating to Him^-azwj, and as a caller to Him^-azwj!

أَسْتَوْهِبُ وَ أَسْتَمِيحُ الْعُيُوبَ وَ أَتَقَرَّبُ بِأَسْمَائِهِ وَ أَسْتَشْفِعُ بِآلَائِهِ وَ أَتَذَلَّلُ بِكِبْرِيَائِهِ وَ هُوَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُهُ فِي كُلِّ ذَلِكَ يَصْرِفُنِي بِقُوَّةِ الرَّجَاءِ وَ التَّأْمِيلِ عَنِ الشَّكِّ فِي رَحْمَتِهِ لِتَضَرُّعِي إِلَى التَّحْصِيلِ ثِقَةً بِجُودِهِ وَ رَأْفَتِهِ وَ تَبَغِّياً لِإِشْفَاقِهِ وَ عَطْفِهِ

I seek Forgiveness and I seek Pardon of the faults, and I draw closer by His^-azwj Names, and I seek intercession by His^-azwj Favours, and I humble to His^-azwj Greatness, and He^-azwj, Blessed is His^-azwj Name, is in all that. He^-azwj Turns me by strength of the hope, and expectation away from the doubt in His^-azwj Mercy for my beseeching to achieve the trust by His^-azwj Generosity, and His^-azwj Kindness, and seeking His^-azwj Compassion and His^-azwj Kindness!

اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا شَهْرُكَ وَ قَدْ كَمُلَ وَ مَضَى وَ هَذَا الصِّيَامُ قَدْ تَمَّ وَ انْقَضَى قَدِمَ بِكُرْهٍ وَ قُدُومُهُ تَمَكُّنُ مَا فِي النُّفُوسِ مِنْ لَذَّاتِهَا وَ نُفُورُهَا مِنْ مُفَارَقَةِ عَادَاتِهَا فَمَا وَرَدَ حَتَّى‏ ذَلَّلَهَا بِطَاعَتِهِ وَ أَشْخَصَهَا إِلَى طَلَبِ رَحْمَتِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! This is Your^-azwj month, and it has perfected and passed, and these Fasts are completed and concluded. It arrived with reluctance, for its arrival curbed the desires of the soul and its withdrawal from familiar pleasures. Yet it came to humble the soul in obedience to You and to draw it towards seeking Your^-azwj Mercy!

فَكَانَ نَهَارُ صِيَامِنَا يُزَكَّى لَدَيْكَ وَ لَيْلَةُ قِيَامِنَا يُوقَدُ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَرْهَفَ الْقُلُوبَ وَ عَارَكَ الذُّنُوبَ وَ أَخْضَعَ الْخُدُودَ وَ رَفَعَ إِلَيْكَ الرَّاحَاتِ وَ اسْتَدَرَّ الْعَبَرَاتِ بِالنَحِيبِ وَ الزَّفَرَاتِ أَسَفاً عَلَى الزَّلَّاتِ وَ اعْتَرَافاً بِالْهَفَوَاتِ وَ اسْتِقَالَةً لِلْعَثَرَاتِ فَرَحِمْتَ وَ عَطَفْتَ وَ سَتَرْتَ وَ غَفَرْتَ وَ أَقَلْتَ وَ أَنْعَمْتَ

Our days of Fasting were purified in Your^-azwj Presence, and our nights of standing in Salat were illuminated for You^-azwj. The Fast sharpened the hearts, washed away sins, humbled the faces, and raised hands toward You^-azwj, bringing forth tears through cries and sighs out of sorrow for our missteps and an acknowledgment of our slips, seeking Forgiveness for our mistakes. So, You^-azwj had Mercy, showed compassion, covered, forgave, pardoned, and Bestowed Your^-azwj bounties.

فَعَادَ حَبِيباً مَأْلُوفاً قُرْبُهُ وَ قَادِماً يُكْرَهُ فِرَاقُهُ فَعَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مِنْ شَهْرٍ وَدَّعْتُهُ بِخَيْرٍ أَوْدَعْتَهُ وَ بُعْدٍ مِنْكَ قَرَّبَهُ وَ غُنْمٍ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ اسْتَجْلَبَهُ وَ فَضَائِحَ تَقَدَّمَتْ عِنْدَكَ هَدَرَهَا وَ قَبَائِحَ مَحَاهَا وَ نَثَرَهَا وَ خَيْرَاتٍ نَشَرَهَا وَ مَنَافِعَ نَشَزَهَا وَ مِنَنٍ مِنْكَ وَفَّرَهَا وَ عَطَايَا كَثَّرَهَا وَدَاعَ مُفَارِقٍ خَلَّفَ خَيْرَاتِهِ وَ أَسْعَدَ بَرَكَاتِهِ وَ جَادَ بِعَطَايَاهُ

It (Ramazan) became a beloved, familiar companion whose nearness was cherished and whose departure is now dreaded. So, peace be upon this month that I bid farewell with goodness which You^-azwj Placed in it, closeness it brought us to You^-azwj, and the bounty we gained from Your^-azwj Grace. It washed away disgrace and erased flaws, spreading goodness, elevating benefits, granting abundant favours and increasing gifts. We say farewell to this parting companion, which leaves behind goodness, and its fortunate Blessings, and generous with its awards!

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِنِّي حَمْدَ مَنْ- لَا يُخَادِعُ نَفْسَهُ مِنْ تَقَدُّمِ جَزَعِهَا مِنْهُ وَ لَا يَجْحَدُ نِعْمَتَكَ فِي الَّذِي أَفَدْتَهُ وَ مَحَوْتَهُ عَنْهُ سَائِلٌ لَكَ أَنْ تُعْرِضَ عَمَّا اعْتَمَدْتُهُ فِيهِ وَ لَمْ يَعْتَمِدْهُ مِنْ زَلَلِهِ إِعْرَاضَ الْمُتَجَافِي الْعَظِيمِ وَ أَنْ تُقْبِلَ عَلَيَّ أَيْسَرَ مَا تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِقْبَالَ الرَّاضِي الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ بِنَظْرَةِ الْبَرِّ الرَّءُوفِ الرَّحِيمِ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise from me, Praise is the one who does not deceive himself by pretending to be unshaken by his own anxiety, nor denies Your^-azwj bounties in what You^‑azwj have Given and Removed from him. I^-azwj ask You^-azwj to Turn away from what I have relied upon in my actions and from what I have fallen into unintentionally. Turn away from my missteps with the forbearance of the Most Great, and Accept from me the smallest of deeds with the acceptance of the Generous and Pleased. Look upon me with the Gaze of the Righteous, the Kind, the Merciful!

اللَّهُمَّ عَقِّبْ عَلَيَّ بِغُفْرَانِكَ فِي عُقْبَاهُ وَ آمِنِّي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ مَا أَخْشَاهُ وَ قِنِي مِنْ صُنُوفِهِ مَا أَتَوَقَّاهُ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي فِي خَاتِمَتِهِ بِخَيْرٍ تُجْزِلُ مِنْهُ عَطِيَّتِي وَ تُشَفِّعُ فِيهِ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ تَسُدُّ بِهِ فَاقَتِي وَ تَنْفِي بِهِ شِقْوَتِي وَ تُقَرِّبُ بِهِ سَعَادَتِي وَ تَمْلَأُ يَدِي مِنْ خَيْرَاتِ الدَّارَيْنِ بِأَفْضَلِ مَا مَلَأْتَ بِهِ يَدَ سَائِلٍ وَ رَجَعْتَ بِهِ أَمَلَ آمِلٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant me Your^-azwj Forgiveness after this month’s end and Protect me from the punishment I fear. Shield me from the trials I seek refuge from, and Seal for me the end of this month with goodness. Grant me from it an abundance of Your^-azwj gifts, Answer my supplications through it, Fulfil my needs, and Remove my hardships. Through it, bring me closer to happiness, fill my hands with the blessings of both worlds in the best way You^-azwj Fill the hands of those who ask and Fulfil the hopes of those who yearn!

وَ تَمْنَحُنِي فِي وَالِدَيَّ وَ فِي جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغُفْرَانَ وَ الرِّضْوَانَ وَ تَذَكُّرَهُمْ مِنْكَ بِإِحْسَانٍ تُنِيلُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ مَسَرَّةَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ تُوصِلُ إِلَيْهَا لَذَّةَ غُفْرَانِكَ وَ تَرْعَاهَا فِي رِيَاضِ جِنَانِكَ بَيْنَ ظِلَالِ أَشْجَارِهَا وَ جَدَاوِلِ أَنْهَارِهَا وَ هَنِي‏ءِ ثِمَارِهَا وَ كَثِيرِ خَيْرَاتِهَا وَ اسْتِوَاءِ أَقْوَاتِهَا وَ صُنُوفِ لَذَّاتِهَا وَ سَائِغِ بَرَكَاتِهَا

Grant me in my parents, and all believing men and women Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Pleasure, and Remember them with Your^-azwj Kindness, Giving their souls the joy of Your^-azwj Approval and the pleasure of Your forgiveness. Shelter them in the gardens of Your^-azwj Paradise, amidst the shade of its trees, the streams of its rivers, the delight of its fruits, the abundance of its bounties, the sufficiency of its sustenance, its variety of pleasures, and its plentiful bounties!

وَ أَحْيِنَا لِوُرُودِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ عَائِداً فِي قَابِلِ عَامِنَا بِهَدْمِ أَوْزَارِنَا وَ آثَامِنَا إِلَى الْقُرُبَاتِ مِنْكَ سَبِيلًا وَ عَلَيْهَا دَلِيلًا وَ إِلَيْهَا وَسِيلًا يَا أَقْدَرَ الْقَادِرِينَ وَ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْمَسْئُولِينَ

Allow us to return to this Blessed month in the coming year, with our sins and burdens lifted and a path to closeness to You^-azwj Clarified a guide to these paths, and a way to it, O the most Able of the able ones, and O the most Generous of the ones asked!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَا لَفَظْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ مِنْ تَمْجِيدٍ وَ تَحْمِيدٍ وَ وَصْفٍ لِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ إِقْرَارٍ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِرْضَائِكَ مِنْ نَصَبِي إِلَيْكَ وَ مِنْ إِقْبَالِي بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْكَ فَهُوَ بِتَوْفِيقِكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ يَا قَاضِيَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنْ أَيْسَرِ نِعَمِكَ لَا نُكَافِيكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Indeed all that I have spoken to You^-azwj of glorification, Praise, acknowledgment of Your^-azwj Power, and affirmation of Your^-azwj Oneness, all that I offer in striving to please You^-azwj and in my dedication to exalting You^-azwj, it is only by Your^-azwj Guidance. So, to You^‑azwj belongs all Praise, O You^-azwj who Fulfils what pleases You^-azwj. Even the smallest of Your^‑azwj bounties cannot be reciprocated by us!

ثُمَّ بِهِدَايَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ ص وَ سِفَارَتِهِ وَ إِرْشَادِهِ وَ دَلَالَتِهِ فَقَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ بِذَلِكَ مِنَ الْحَقِّ عِنْدَكَ وَ عَلَيْنَا مَا شَرَّفْتَهُ بِهِ وَ أَوْعَزْتَ فِيهِ إِلَيْنَا

Then, through the guidance of Your^-azwj Prophet Muhammad^-saww, his^-saww intercession, instruction, and direction. You^-azwj have Established a right for him before You^-azwj and upon us, through the honour You^-azwj Bestowed upon him and Conveyed to us!

اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ لِهِدَايَتِنَا عَلَماً وَ إِلَيْكَ لَنَا طَرِيقاً وَ سُلَّماً وَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ مَلْجَأً وَ مُعْتَصَماً وَ فِينَا شَفِيعاً مُقَدَّماً وَ مُشَفَّعاً مُكَرَّماً وَ كَانَ لَا مُكَافَأَةَ لَهُ إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَ لَا اتِّكَالَ مِنْ مُجَازَاتِهِ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ كُنَّا عَنْ حَقِّهِ بِأَنْفُسِنَا وَ أَمْوَالِنَا مُقَصِّرِينَ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الزَّاهِدِينَ وَ عَنْهَا مِنَ الرَّاغِبِينَ وَ لَسْنَا إِلَى تَأَتِّيهِ بِوَاصِلِينَ وَ لَا عَلَيْهَا بِقَادِرِينَ فَاجْزِهِ عَنَّا بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ أَطْيَبِ تَحِيَّاتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Just as You^-azwj Made him^-saww a guiding sign for us, a path and bridge to You^-azwj, a refuge from Your^-azwj Displeasure, a means of protection, and a noble intercessor, exalted and honoured among us, and since his recompense rests only with You^-azwj, and the only trust for his reward lies in You^-azwj alone, while we have fallen short in fulfilling his right with our own lives and wealth, and he^-saww sought no reward from them, and remained detached from them, nor were we able to reach him^-saww nor fully accomplish what was due to him^-saww. So, Reward him on our behalf with Your^-azwj best Salawaat and most pure greetings!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ صَلَاةً تَمُدُّهُ مِنْكَ بِشَرَائِفِ حِبَائِكَ وَ كَرَائِمِ عَطِيَّاتِكَ وَ مَوْفُورِ خَيْرَاتِكَ وَ مَيْسُورِ هِبَاتِكَ صَلَاةً تَكْثُرُ وَ تَكْشِفُ حَتَّى لَا تَنْقَطِعَ وَ لَا تَضْعُفَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon him^-saww with a Salawaat through which You^-azwj Bestow upon him from Your^-azwj most noble gifts, and Your^-azwj plentiful goodness, and Your^-azwj easy gifts! Abundant Salawaat, and illuminating until it neither terminates nor weakens!

صَلَاةً تَتَدَارَكُ وَ تَتَّصِلُ حَتَّى لَا تَحِيلَ وَ لَا تَنْفَصِلَ صَلَاةً تَتَوَالَى وَ تَتَّسِقُ حَتَّى لَا تَتَشَعَّبَ وَ لَا تَفْتَرِقَ صَلَاةً تَدُومُ وَ تَتَوَاتَرُ وَ تَتَضَاعَفُ وَ تَتَكَاثَرُ تَزِنُ الْجِبَالَ وَ تَعَادُّ الرِّمَالَ

A Salawaat continuous and unbroken so that it does neither fades nor disconnect; a Salawaat that remains and flows, neither scattering nor dividing; a Salawaat enduring, recurring, multiplying, and increasing in abundance, weighing as much as mountains, matching grains of sand.

صَلَاةً تُجَارِي النَّيِّرَاتِ فِي أَفْلَاكِهَا وَ الْقُدْرَةَ الَّتِي قَامَتْ بِإِسْمَاكِهَا صَلَاةً تُنَافِي الرِّيَاحَ وَ النُّجُومَ وَ الشُّمُوسَ وَ الْغُيُومَ وَ وَرَقَ الشَّجَرِ وَ أَلْفَاظَ الْبَشَرِ وَ تَسْبِيحَ جَمِيعِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ مِنَ الْمَاضِينَ وَ الْبَاقِينَ وَ مَنْ يُخْلَقُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ ثُمَّ أَسْتَوْدِعُهَا تَعَارُفَ الْعَامِلِينَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ فَنَاءٌ وَ لَا حَدٌّ وَ لَا انْتِهَاءٌ

A Salawaat that parallels the celestial bodies in their orbits and the power that upholds them; a Salawaat that rivals the winds, and the stars, and the suns, and the clouds, and leaves on the trees, and the speech of humans, and the glorification of entirety of the created beings from the past and the remaining and the ones You^-azwj will be Crating up to the Day of Reckoning! Then, I entrust these blessings to the eternal and boundless knowledge of those who labour for You^-azwj, which neither perishes, nor limit, nor end!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَوْصِلْ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ وَ إِلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ وَ إِلَى آبَائِهِ وَ آبَاءِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِلَى جَمِيعِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ وَ مِيكَائِيلَ وَ حَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ وَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ

O Allah^-azwj! Connect that to him^-saww and to People^-asws of his^-saww Household, the Pure, and to his^-saww forefathers^-as Ibrahim^-as, and Ismail^-as, and Is’haq, and to entirety of the Prophets^-as and the martyrs and the righteous, and to Jibraeel^-as and Mikaeel^-as and bearers of Your^-azwj Throne and the Angels!

صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ‏.

May Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws all, and Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]!’’[152]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا يَخْتَصُّ بِهَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ بِرِوَايَةِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ لَيْلَةِ الثَّلَاثِينَ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِكَرَمِ وَجْهِهِ وَ عِزِّ جَلَالِهِ وَ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ

And from that is what supplication is specific with this night by a report of Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, and it is a supplication of the night of thirtieth – ‘The Praise is for Allah^-azwj, there is no associate for Him^-azwj! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj, there is no associate for Him^-azwj! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj, there is no associate for Him^-azwj!

If there has remain upon me even one sin You^-azwj have not Forgiven for me, or You^-azwj Want to Reckon me upon it, or Punish me upon it, or measure me with it do not let the dawn of this night to emerge or this month to end except and You^-azwj have Forgiven it for me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

أَيْ مُلَيِّنَ الْحَدِيدِ لِدَاوُدَ أَيْ كَاشِفَ الْكَرْبِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ اجْعَلْ جَمِيعَ هَوَايَ لِي سَخَطاً إِلَّا مَا رَضِيتَهُ وَ اجْعَلْ جَمِيعَ طَاعَتِكَ لِي رِضاً وَ إِنْ خَالَفَ مَا هَوِيتُ عَلَى مَا أَحْبَبْتُ أَوْ كَرِهْتُ حَتَّى أَكُونَ لَكَ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا أَمَرْتَنِي مُتَابِعاً مُطِيعاً سَامِعاً وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَا نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهُ مُنْتَهِياً

Yes, Softener of the iron for Dawood^-as! Yes, Remover of the distress! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Answer my supplication and Grant me my requests, and Make entirety of my whims displeasing from me except that which You have approved. Make all my obedience pleasing to You^-azwj, even if it contradicts what I desire, be it something I like or dislike, so that in everything You^-azwj Command me, I may be a follower, obedient, and attentive, and in everything You^-azwj Forbid me, I may abstain.

وَ فِي كُلِّ مَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَيَّ وَ لِي رَاضِياً وَ عَلَى كُلِّ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ شَاكِراً وَ فِي كُلِّ حَالاتِي لَكَ ذكرا [ذَاكِراً] مِنْ حَالِ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ سَخَطٍ أَوْ رِضًا

Let me be content with all You^-azwj have decreed for me and grateful for all You^-azwj have Blessed me with. In all my circumstances, let me be mindful of You^-azwj, whether in well-being or hardship, in adversity or ease, in displeasure or approval!

إِلَهِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ انْظُرْ إِلَيَّ فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي نَظْرَةً رَحِيمَةً شَرِيفَةً كَرِيمَةً تُقَوِّينِي بِهَا عَلَى مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ وَ تُسَدِّدُنِي بِهَا وَ لِجَمِيعِ مَا كَلَّفْتَنِي فَعْلَهُ وَ تَزِيدُنِي لَهَا بَصَراً وَ يَقِيناً فِي جَمِيعِ مَا عَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ آلَائِكَ عِنْدِي وَ إِنْعَامِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيَّ وَ تَفْضِيلِكَ إِيَّايَ

My God^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Look at me in entirety of my affairs with a Merciful Look, Noble, Benevolent, Strengthening me with it upon what You^-azwj have Commanded me with and Guide me with, for entirety of what You^-azwj have Encumbered me to do, and to Increase me in insight for it, and conviction in entirety of what You^-azwj have Introduced me from Your^-azwj Favours with me, and Your^-azwj Bestowment upon me, and Your^-azwj Favour to me, and Your^-azwj Preferring me with it!

إِلَهِي حَاجَتِيَ الْعُظْمَى الَّتِي إِنْ قَضَيْتَهَا لَمْ يَضُرَّنِي مَا مَنَعْتَنِي وَ إِنْ مَنَعْتَنِيهَا لَمْ يَنْفَعْنِي مَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي أَسْأَلُكَ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ

My God^-azwj! My greatest need, which if You^-azwj were to Fulfil, nothing You^-azwj Withhold from me will harm me, and if You^-azwj were to Deprive it, nothing You^-azwj Give me will benefit me! I ask You^-azwj for the liberation of my soul from the Fire!

يَا سَيِّدِي ارْحَمْنِي مِنَ السَّلَاسِلِ وَ الْأَغْلَالِ وَ السَّعِيرِ وَ ارْحَمْنِي مِنَ الطَّعَامِ الزَّقُّومِ وَ شُرْبِ الْحَمِيمِ ارْحَمْنِي مِنْ جَهَنَّمَ‏ إِنَّ عَذابَها كانَ غَراماً- إِنَّها ساءَتْ مُسْتَقَرًّا وَ مُقاماً- لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي وَ أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ

O my Lord^-azwj, Mercy me from chains, and the shackles, and the blazing Fire, and Mercy me from the food of Al-Zaqoum (bitter fruit in Hell), and drinking the boiling water! Mercy me from Hell! Surely, its Punishment would be inseparable [25:65] Surely, it is an evil abode and (an evil) place to stay [25:66]! Do not Punish me while I am seeking Your^-azwj Forgiveness and do not Deprive me while I am requesting You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ مَا فِيهَا وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مَا جَمَعْتَ

I ask You^-azwj for the Paradise and whatever is in it, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the Hellfire and whatever You^-azwj have Gathered!

اللَّهُمَّ فَزَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ‏ يَأْتِي آمِناً يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ- إِنِّي لِما أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَقِيرٌ

O Allah^-azwj! Get me married to the Maiden Houries and Make me from the ones who will come with safety on the Day of Qiyamah. ‘Lord! I stand in need of whatever good You may Send down upon me’ [28:24]!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ابْدَأْ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Begin with Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww regarding every goodness from goodness of the world and the Hereafter!’’[153]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ دُعَاءُ لَيْلَةِ الثَّلَاثِينَ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ رَبَّنَا فَاتَنَا الشَّهْرُ الْمُبَارَكُ الَّذِي أَمَرْتَنَا فِيهِ بِالصِّيَامِ وَ الْقِيَامِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا

And from that is a supplication on the night of thirtieth, reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘Our Lord^-azwj! It has passed, the Blessed month in which You^-azwj had Commanded us with the Fasting, and the standing (in Salat), and do not Make it a last pact from us!

رَبَّنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ رَبَّنَا وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنَا وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا وَ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ ارْزُقْنَا وَ ارْزُقْ مِنَّا وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُتَّقِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

Our Lord^-azwj! Forgive for us whatever has preceded from our sins and whatever is delayed (not yet committed)! Our Lord^-azwj, and do not Abandon us nor Deprive us of the Forgiveness and Pardon us and Forgive for us, and Mercy us and Turn to us, and Grace us and Sustain from us, and Make us from Your^-azwj pious friends by Your^-azwj friends, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[154]

أقول: و من ذلك ما قدمناه من الدعوات أول ليلة منه مما يتكرر كل ليلة.

I say, ‘And from that is what we have forwarded, from supplication of the first night of it, from what is repeated every night.

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَاهُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورْيَسْتِيُّ مِنْ كِتَابِ الْحُسْنَى بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى آخِرَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عَشْرَ رَكَعَاتٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَاحِدَةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ يَقُولُ فِي رُكُوعِهِ وَ سُجُودِهِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ

And from that is what is reported by Ja’far Bin Muhammad Al-Doroweysti, from the book ‘Al-Husna’, by his chain to the Prophet^-saww, he^-saww said: ‘One who prays Salat of ten units end of a night of a month of Ramazan, reading in each unit Surah Al Fatiha one time, and Surah Al Tawheed ten times, and he should say in his Ruk’u and his Sajdah ten times, ‘Glory be to Allah^-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah^-azwj, and there is no god except Allah^-azwj, and Allah^-azwj is Greatest!’

وَ يَتَشَهَّدُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ يُسَلِّمُ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ آخِرِ عَشْرِ رَكَعَاتٍ قَالَ بَعْدَ فَرَاغِهِ مِنَ التَّسْلِيمِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ

And he should perform Tashahhud in every two units, then he should perform Salaam. When he is freed from end of the ten units, he should say after his being free from the Salaam, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj!’ – a thousand times.

فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ الِاسْتِغْفَارِ سَجَدَ وَ يَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِهِ- يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَا وَ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا صَلَاتَنَا وَ صِيَامَنَا وَ قِيَامَنَا

When he is free from seeking the Forgiveness, he should perform Sajdah and say in his Sajdah, ‘O Living, O Eternal, O with the Majesty and the Benevolence, O Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and their Mercier, O God^-azwj of the former ones and the latter ones! Forgive our sins for us and Accept from us our Salat and our Fasts and our standing!’

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ نَبِيّاً إِنَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ خَبَّرَنِي عَنْ إِسْرَافِيلَ عَنْ رَبِّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى أَنَّهُ لَا يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السُّجُودِ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ يَتَقَبَّلَ مِنْهُ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ يَتَجَاوَزَ عَنْ ذُنُوبِهِ وَ إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ أَذْنَبَ سَبْعِينَ ذَنْباً كُلُّ ذَنْبٍ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِ الْعِبَادِ وَ يَتَقَبَّلَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ أَهْلِ الْكُورَةِ الَّتِي هُوَ فِيهَا

The Prophet^-saww said: ‘By the One Who Sent me with the truth as a Prophet^-saww! Jibraeel^-as has informed me from Israfeel^-as, from his^-as Lord^-azwj Blessed and Exalted that he will not raise his head from the Sajdah until Allah^-azwj will have Forgiven for him and Accept from him the month of Ramazan, and He^-azwj will Overlook from his sins, and even if he had sinned such seventy sins, each sin being mightier than sins of the servants, and He^-azwj will Accept from entirety of the people of town which he is in!’

فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص لِجَبْرَئِيلَ ع يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ خَاصَّةً شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بِلَادِهِ عَامَّةً

The Prophet^-saww said to Jibraeel^-as: ‘O Jibraeel^-as! Allah^-azwj Accepts from him a month of Ramazan in particular and generally from people of his city?’

فَقَالَ نَعَمْ وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَكَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ كَرَامَتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عِظَمِ مَنْزِلَتِهِ لَدَيْهِ يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَ مِنْهُمْ صَلَاتَهُمْ وَ صِيَامَهُمْ وَ قِيَامَهُمْ وَ يَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ ذُنُوبَهُمْ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُمْ دُعَاءَهُمْ

He^-as said: ‘Yes! By the One Who Sent You^-azwj! It is from His^-azwj Benevolence upon him and from his great status before Him^-azwj! Allah^-azwj Accepts from him and from them, their Salats, and their Fasts, and their standing, and Forgive their sins for them, and Answer their supplications for them!

وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ هَذَا الِاسْتِغْفَارَ يَتَقَبَّلُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُ صَلَاتَهُ وَ صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ وَ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ وَ يَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ دُعَاءَهُ لَدَيْهِ لِأَنَّ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ فِي كِتَابِهِ- اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كانَ غَفَّاراً

By the One Who Sent me with the truth! Surely the one who prays this Salat and seeks Forgiveness with this seeking of Forgiveness, Allah^-azwj will Accept from him his Salat, and his Fast, and his standing, and Forgive for him, and Answer for him his supplications before Him^‑azwj, because Allah^-azwj Blessed and Exalted Says in His^-azwj Book: ‘Seek Forgiveness of your Lord, He would always be Forgiving [71:10]!

وَ يَقُولُ‏ وَ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ‏ وَ قَالَ‏ وَ الَّذِينَ إِذا فَعَلُوا فاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَ مَنْ يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ‏

And He^-azwj Said: And seek Forgiveness of your Lord repenting to Him, surely my Lord is Merciful, Affectionate [11:90]! And Said: And those when they are committing an indecency or doing injustice to their own selves, are remembering Allah and asking Forgiveness for their sins – and who Forgives the sins except Allah? [3:135]!

وَ يَقُولُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ أَنِ اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ ثُمَّ تُوبُوا إِلَيْهِ يُمَتِّعْكُمْ مَتاعاً حَسَناً إِلى‏ أَجَلٍ مُسَمًّى وَ يُؤْتِ كُلَّ ذِي فَضْلٍ فَضْلَهُ‏ وَ يَقُولُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَ‏ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْهُ إِنَّهُ كانَ تَوَّاباً

And the Mighty and Majestic Said: And that you will seek Forgiveness of your Lord, then you will repent to Him, He would Provide you with an excellent provision to a specified term, and Give every one with merit, his merit, [11:3]; and the Mighty and Majestic Said: Then Glorify with Praise of your Lord and seek His Forgiveness, He was always oft-returning (to Mercy) [110:3]!

ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص هَذِهِ هَدِيَّةٌ لِي خَاصَّةً وَ لِأُمَّتِي مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ لَمْ يُعْطِهَا اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَحَداً مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلِي مِنَ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ غَيْرِهِمْ.

Then the Prophet^-saww said: ‘This is a gift for me in particular and for my community, from the men and the women! Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic did not Give it to anyone, from the ones who were before me^-saww, from the Prophets^-as and others’’.[155]

أَقُولُ وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ يَقْرَأُ آخِرَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سُورَةَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَ الْكَهْفِ وَ يس وَ يَقُولُ مِائَةَ مَرَّةً أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ‏.

I am saying, ‘And it is reported that he should read at the end of a night of a month of Ramazan, Surahs Al Anaam, and Al Kahf, and Yaseen, and he should say one hundred times, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj and I repent to Him^-azwj’’.[156]

الْبَلَدُ الْأَمِينُ‏، ذَكَرَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّفْوَانِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ بُلْغَةِ الْمُقِيمِ وَ زَادِ الْمُسَافِرِ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهَذِهِ الْأَدْعِيَةِ فِي لَيَالِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

(The book) ‘Al-Balad Al-Ameen’ – Abu Abdullah Al-Safwany mentioned in the booked ‘Bulaghat Al-Muqeem’, and Al-Musafir added that the Prophet^-saww used to supplicate with these supplication during nights of a month of Ramazan: –

الليلة الأولى‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْوَاحِدُ فَلَا وَلَدَ لَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الصَّمَدُ فَلَا شِبْهَ لَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ فَلَا أَعَزَّ مِنْكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ فَلَا شِبْهَ لَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيزُ فَلَا أَعَزَّ مِنْكَ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّحِيمُ وَ أَنَا الْمُخْطِئُ وَ أَنْتَ الْخَالِقُ وَ أَنَا الْمَخْلُوقُ وَ أَنْتَ الْحَيُّ وَ أَنَا الْمَيِّتُ

The first night – O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the One, so there is no son for You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the Non-Hollow so there is no resemblance for You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the Might so there is no one mightier than You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the Forgiver so there is no resemblance for You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the Mighty so there is no one mightier than You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are the Merciful and I am the wrongdoer, and You^-azwj are the Creator and I am the created, and You^-azwj are the Living and I am to die!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تُجَاوِزَ عَنِّي‏ إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ-.

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Mercy to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws, and to Forgive for me and Mercy me and Overlook from me, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[157]

الثانية يَا إِلَهَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ إِلَهَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ إِلَهَ مَنْ بَقِيَ وَ إِلَهَ مَنْ مَضَى رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ مَنْ فِيهِنَّ فَالِقَ الْإِصْبَاحِ وَ جَاعِلَ اللَّيْلِ‏ سَكَناً وَ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ حُسْباناً

The Second – ‘O God of the former ones and God^-azwj of the latter ones, and God^-azwj of one remaining and God^-azwj of ones, past! Lord^-azwj of the seven skies and ones within these, Splitter of the morning, and Maker of the night tranquil, and the sun and the moon for calculations!

لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ وَ لَكَ الطَّوْلُ وَ أَنْتَ الْوَاحِدُ الصَّمَدُ أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَلَالِكَ سَيِّدِي وَ جَمَالِكَ مَوْلَايَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تَتَجَاوَزَ عَنِّي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ‏ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏-.

For You^-azwj is the Praise, and for You^-azwj is the thanks, and for You^-azwj is the Conferment, and for You^-azwj is the Leniency, and You^-azwj are the One^-azwj, the Non-Hollow! I ask You^-azwj by Your^‑azwj Majesty my Chief, and Your^-azwj Beauty my Master, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Forgive for me and Mercy me, and Overlook from me, surely, You^-azwj are the Forgiver, the Merciful!’’[158]

الثالثة  يَا إِلَهَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ إِلَهَ إِسْحَاقَ وَ إِلَهَ يَعْقُوبَ وَ الْأَسْبَاطِ رَبَّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ السَّمِيعَ الْعَلِيمَ الْحَلِيمَ الْكَرِيمَ الْعَلِيَّ الْعَظِيمَ

The third – O God^-azwj of Ibrahim^-as, and God^-azwj of Is’haq, and God^-azwj of Yaqoub^-as and the tribes, Lord^-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit, the Hearing, the Knowing, the Forbearing, the Benevolent, the Exalted, the Magnificent!

لَكَ صُمْتُ وَ عَلَى رِزْقِكَ أَفْطَرْتُ‏ وَ إِلَى كَنَفِكَ آوَيْتُ وَ إِلَيْكَ أَنَبْتُ- وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ وَ أَنْتَ الرَّءُوفُ الرَّحِيمُ قَوِّنِي عَلَى الصَّلَاةِ وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ لَا تُخْزِنِي‏ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ-.

For You^-azwj I have Fasted, and upon Your^-azwj sustenance I have broken, and to Your^-azwj Canopy I have sheltered, and to You^-azwj I am penitent, and to You^-azwj is the destination, and You^-azwj are the Kind, the Merciful! Strengthen me upon the salat, and the Fasting, and do not Disgrace me on the Day of Qiyamah, You^-azwj do not Break the Promise!’’[159]

الرابعة يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا وَ جَبَّارَ الدُّنْيَا وَ يَا مَلِكَ الْمُلُوكِ وَ يَا رَازِقَ الْعِبَادِ هَذَا شَهْرُ التَّوْبَةِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الثَّوَابِ وَ شَهْرُ الرَّجَاءِ وَ أَنْتَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ

The fourth – ‘O Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter and their Mercier, and Subduer of the world, and O King of the kings, and O Provider of the servants! This is the month of repentance, and this is the month of Rewards, and the month of hope, and You^-azwj are the Hearing, the Knowing!

The eighth – ‘O Allah^-azwj! This is the month in which You^-azwj have Commanded with the supplicating and Guaranteed the Response to them and the Mercy. You^-azwj Said: And when My servants ask you about Me, I am near; I Answer the supplication of the suppliant when he supplicates to Me; [2:186]. I have supplicated to You^-azwj, O Responder to supplication of the desperate! O Remover of distress of the distressed, O Make of the night tranquil, and O the One^-azwj Who does not die! Forgive for the one who dies, You^-azwj have Determined, and Created, and Evened!

رَبَّنَا وَ لَا تَخْذُلْنَا وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا الْمَغْفِرَةَ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ ارْحَمْنَا وَ تُبْ عَلَيْنَا وَ ارْزُقْنَا وَ ارْضَ‏ عَنَّا وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُهْتَدِينَ وَ مِنْ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمُتَّقِينَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

Our Lord^-azwj, and neither Abandon us nor Deprive us of the Forgiveness, and Forgive for us, and Mercy us, and Turn to us, and Provide us, and be Satisfied with us, and Make us from Your Guided friends, and from Your^-azwj pious friends by the right of Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!

وَ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا هَذَا الشَّهْرَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا بِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنَا حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِي عَامِنَا هَذَا وَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْمُعْطِي الرَّازِقُ الْحَنَّانُ الْمَنَّانُ.

And Accept from us this month and do not Make it last of the pacts from us with it, and Grace us Hajj of Your^-azwj Sacred House in this year of ours, and in every year, surely You^-azwj are the Giver, the Provider, the Affectionate, the Bestower!’’[186]
