باب 72 الأعمال و أدعية مطلق ليالي شهر رمضان و أيامه و في مطلق أسحاره و ما يناسب ذلك من الأعمال و المطالب و الفوائد

CHAPTER 72 – THE ACTS OF WORSHIP AND SUPPLICATION RELATED TO NIGHTS OF A MONTH OF RAMAZAN AND ITS DAYS, AND RELATED TO ITS PRE-DAWNS AND WHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO THAT FROM THE ACTS OF WORSHIP, AND THE OBJECTIVES, AND THE BENEFITS

أقول: قد سبق ما يتعلق بهذا الباب في كتاب الصيام و في كتاب الدعاء فليرجع إليه.

I am saying, ‘It has preceded what is related with this chapter in ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, and in ‘Kitab Al-Dua’, so refer to it’.

1- قل، إقبال الأعمال عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏ كَانَ إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ تَصَدَّقَ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِدِرْهَمٍ فَيَقُولُ لَعَلِّي أُصِيبُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ.

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ –

‘From Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws was such, whenever a month of Ramazan entered, gave in charity every day with a Dirham and he^-asws said: ‘Perhaps I^-asws would achieve Laylat Al-Qadr’’.[1]

2- قل، إقبال الأعمال أَدْعِيَةُ السَّحَرِ فِي لَيَالِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ الثُّمَالِيِّ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا يُصَلِّي عَامَّةَ لَيْلَتِهِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَإِذَا كَانَ السَّحَرُ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ-

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – The pre-dawn supplication during nights of a month of Ramazan. From that is what we are reporting with our chains to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’akbury, by his chain from Al Hassan Bin Mahboub, from Abu Hamza Al Sumali who said,

‘Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them^-asws was such that he^‑asws pray Salat most of his^-asws night during a month of Ramazan. When it was pre-dawn, he^-asws would supplicate with this supplication: –

إِلَهِي لَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِعُقُوبَتِكَ وَ لَا تَمْكُرْ بِي فِي حِيلَتِكَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ الْخَيْرُ يَا رَبِّ وَ لَا يُوجَدُ إِلَّا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ وَ مِنْ أَيْنَ لِيَ النَّجَاةُ وَ لَا تُسْتَطَاعُ إِلَّا بِكَ- لَا الَّذِي أَحْسَنَ اسْتَغْنَى عَنْ عَوْنِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ لَا الَّذِي أَسَاءَ وَ اجْتَرَأَ عَلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ يُرْضِكَ خَرَجَ عَنْ قُدْرَتِكَ يَا رَبِّ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ بِكَ

‘My God^-azwj! Do not discipline me with Your^-azwj Punishment, and do not Plan against me with Your^-azwj plan. How could I have any good, O Lord^-azwj, when it cannot come except from You^‑azwj? And how could I be saved when it cannot be achieved except through You^-azwj? Neither the one who does good can be independent of Your^-azwj Help and Mercy, nor can the one who has done wrong, dared to displease You^-azwj, and acted contrary to Your^-azwj Desire escape Your^-azwj Power, O Lord^-azwj!’ – until the breath is cut from you.

عَرَفْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ دَلَلْتَنِي عَلَيْكَ وَ دَعَوْتَنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ لَوْ لَا أَنْتَ لَمْ أَدْرِ مَا أَنْتَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَدْعُوهُ فَيُجِيبُنِي وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ بَطِيئاً حِينَ يَدْعُونِي

‘I have recognised You^-azwj are You^-azwj are my Pointer to You^-azwj and Called me to You^-azwj, and had it not been for You^-azwj I would not have known what You^-azwj are! The Praise is for Allah^‑azwj Whom I supplicate to so He^-azwj Responds to me, and even though I had delayed when He^-azwj Called me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَسْأَلُهُ فَيُعْطِينِي وَ إِنْ كُنْتُ بَخِيلًا حِينَ يَسْتَقْرِضُنِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whom I ask Him^-azwj so He^-azwj Gives me, and even though I was miserly when He^-azwj Asked me for a loan!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أُنَادِيهِ كُلَّمَا شِئْتُ لِحَاجَتِي وَ أَخْلُو بِهِ حَيْثُ شِئْتُ لِسِرِّي بِغَيْرِ شَفِيعٍ فَيَقْضِي لِي حَاجَتِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whom I call out to every time I desire for my needs, and I seclude with Him^-azwj wherever I desire for my secrets without an intercessor, so He^-azwj Fulfil my needs for me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا أَدْعُو غَيْرَهُ وَ لَوْ دَعَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لَمْ يَسْتَجِبْ لِي دُعَائِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who I do not call anyone else, and had I called upon someone else he would not have answered my supplication for me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا أَرْجُو غَيْرَهُ وَ لَوْ رَجَوْتُ غَيْرَهُ لَأَخْلَفَ رَجَائِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who I do not hope for anyone else, and had I hoped to someone else he would have broken my hopes!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَكَلَنِي إِلَيْهِ فَأَكْرَمَنِي وَ لَمْ يَكِلْنِي إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيُهِينُونِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Allocated me to Him^-azwj so He^-azwj Honoured me and did not Allocate me to the people so they would demean me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي تَحَبَّبَ إِلَيَّ وَ هُوَ غَنِيٌّ عَنِّي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Made Himself^-azwj beloved to me and He^-azwj is needless of me!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَحْلُمُ عَنِّي حَتَّى كَأَنِّي لَا ذَنْبَ لِي فَرَبِّي أَحْمَدُ شَيْ‏ءٍ عِنْدِي وَ أَحَقُّ بِحَمْدِي

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who is so Lenient with me until it is as if there is no sin for me, so my Lord^-azwj is most praised in my presence and most deserving of my praise!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَجِدُ سُبُلَ الْمَطَالِبِ إِلَيْكَ مُشْرَعَةً وَ مَنَاهِلَ الرَّجَاءِ إِلَيْكَ مُتْرَعَةً وَ الِاسْتِعَانَةَ بِفَضْلِكَ لِمَنْ أَمَّلَكَ مُبَاحَةً وَ أَبْوَابَ الدُّعَاءِ إِلَيْكَ لِلصَّارِخِينَ مَفْتُوحَةً وَ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّكَ لِلرَّاجِينَ بِمَوْضِعِ إِجَابَةٍ وَ لِلْمَلْهُوفِينَ بِمَرْصَدِ إِغَاثَةٍ

O Allah^-azwj! I find the paths to approach You^-azwj (always) open, the springs of hope toward You^-azwj are filled, and seeking help from Your^-azwj Grace for anyone who seeks You^-azwj Permitted. The doors of calling upon You^-azwj are open to those who cry out, and I know that You^-azwj are ready to Respond to those who hope in You^-azwj and to aid those in distress.

وَ أَنَّ فِي اللَّهْفِ إِلَى جُودِكَ وَ الرِّضَا بِقَضَائِكَ عِوَضاً عَنْ مَنْعِ الْبَاخِلِينَ وَ مَنْدُوحَةً عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي الْمُسْتَأْثِرِينَ وَ أَنَّ الرَّاحِلَ إِلَيْكَ قَرِيبُ الْمَسَافَةِ وَ أَنَّكَ لَا تَحْجُبُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ لَكِنْ تَحْجُبُهُمُ الْأَعْمَالُ السَّيِّئَةُ دُونَكَ وَ قَدْ قَصَدْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِطَلِبَتِي

In turning to Your^-azwj Generosity and being content with Your^-azwj Decree, there is comfort for those denied by the stingy and a release from the control of the possessiveness. And that the one who travels to You^-azwj comes closer in distance, and that You^-azwj do not Hide from Your^-azwj creation, but rather evil deeds hide them from You^-azwj, and I have come to You^-azwj with my request.

وَ تَوَجَّهْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِحَاجَتِي وَ جَعَلْتُ بِكَ اسْتِغَاثَتِي وَ بِدُعَائِكَ تَوَسُّلِي مِنْ غَيْرِ اسْتِحْقَاقٍ لِاسْتِمَاعِكَ مِنِّي وَ لَا اسْتِيجَابٍ لِعَفْوِكَ عَنِّي بَلْ لِثِقَتِي بِكَرَمِكَ وَ سُكُونِي إِلَى صِدْقِ وَعْدِكَ وَ لَجَئِي إِلَى الْإِيمَانِ بِتَوْحِيدِكَ وَ ثِقَتِي بِمَعْرِفَتِكَ مِنِّي أَنْ لَا رَبَّ لِي غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ

And I have diverted to You^-azwj with my request, directed my needs to You^-azwj, placed my plea in Your^-azwj Hands, and rely on my appeal through Your^-azwj Call, not out of any worthiness for You^-azwj to listen to me, nor deserving of Your^-azwj Pardon. Instead, I trust in Your^-azwj Generosity, rely on the truth of Your^-azwj Promise, seek refuge in faith in Your^-azwj Oneness, and believe, knowing that there is no lord for me but You^-azwj, no god but You^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْقَائِلُ وَ قَوْلُكَ حَقٌّ وَ وَعْدُكَ صِدْقٌ- وَ سْئَلُوا اللَّهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيماً وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ صِفَاتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تَأْمُرَ بِالسُّؤَالِ وَ تَمْنَعَ الْعَطِيَّةَ وَ أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بِالْعَطَايَا عَلَى أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِكَ وَ الْعَائِدُ عَلَيْهِمْ بِتَحَنُّنِ رَأْفَتِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are the Speaker and Your^-azwj Word is true, and Your^-azwj Promise is true, and they are asking Allah^-azwj from His^-azwj Grace, surely Allah^-azwj was always Merciful, and it isn’t from Your^-azwj truthfulness, O my Master, for You^-azwj to Command with the requesting and You^-azwj Prevent the award, while You^-azwj are the Bestower with the awards upon the people of Your^-azwj Domains, and the Repeater upon them with Your^-azwj pleasant Kindness!

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّيْتَنِي فِي نِعَمِكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ صَغِيراً وَ نَوَّهْتَ بِاسْمِي كَبِيراً يَا مَنْ رَبَّانِي فِي الدُّنْيَا بِإِحْسَانِهِ وَ بِفَضْلِهِ وَ نِعَمِهِ وَ أَشَارَ لِي فِي الْآخِرَةِ إِلَى عَفْوِهِ وَ كَرَمِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Nourished me in Your^-azwj bounties and You^-azwj Favours when I was young, and You^-azwj Uplifted my name when I was older! O One Who Nourished me in the world with His^-azwj Favours and with His^-azwj Grace and His^-azwj bounties, and Indicated to me in the Hereafter to His^-azwj Pardon and His^-azwj Benevolence!

مَعْرِفَتِي يَا مَوْلَايَ دَلِيلِي عَلَيْكَ وَ حُبِّي لَكَ شَفِيعِي إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنَا وَاثِقٌ مِنْ دَلِيلِي بِدَلَالَتِكَ وَ سَاكِنٌ مِنْ شَفِيعِي إِلَى شَفَاعَتِكَ

My recognition, O my Master, is my pointer to You^-azwj, and my love for You^-azwj is my intercessor to You^-azwj! I am confident in my guide through Your^-azwj Guidance, and I am at peace with my intercessor through Your^-azwj Intercession!

أَدْعُوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي بِلِسَانٍ قَدْ أَخْرَسَهُ ذَنْبُهُ رَبِّ أُنَاجِيكَ بِقَلْبٍ قَدْ أَوْبَقَهُ جُرْمُهُ

I supplicate to You^-azwj, O my Chief, by a tongue its sins have muted it! Lord^-azwj, I whisper to You^-azwj with a heart its crimes have destroyed it!

أَدْعُوكَ يَا رَبِّ رَاهِباً رَاغِباً رَاجِياً خَائِفاً إِذَا رَأَيْتُ مَوْلَايَ ذُنُوبِي فَزِعْتُ وَ إِذَا رَأَيْتُ عَفْوَكَ طَمِعْتُ فَإِنْ غَفَرْتَ فَخَيْرُ رَاحِمٍ وَ إِنْ عَذَّبْتَ فَغَيْرُ ظَالِمٍ-

I supplicate to You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, fearfully, desiring, hoping, fearing! My Master, when I saw my sins I panicked, and when I saw Your^-azwj Pardon I coveted! If You^-azwj Forgive, You^-azwj are the Best Mercier, and if You^-azwj Punish, You^-azwj are not unjust!

حُجَّتِي يَا اللَّهُ فِي جُرْأَتِي عَلَى مَسْأَلَتِكَ مَعَ إِتْيَانِي مَا تَكْرَهُ جُودُكَ وَ كَرَمُكَ وَ عُدَّتِي فِي شِدَّتِي مَعَ قِلَّةِ حَيَائِي مِنْكَ رَأْفَتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ قَدْ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ لَا تُخَيِّبَ بَيْنَ ذَيْنِ وَ ذَيْنِ مُنْيَتِي

My argument, O Allah^-azwj is in my daring to ask You^-azwj despite my wrongdoing, is Your^-azwj Generosity and Grace, and my Support in my hardship despite my lack of shame before You^‑azwj is Your^-azwj Kindness and Mercy. I am hopeful that, between these two You^-azwj will not disappoint my wishes!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ حَقِّقْ رَجَائِي وَ اسْمَعْ نِدَائِي يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ-

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my hopes a reality and Listen to my call, O the Best of ones, a caller has called upon, and the Best ones, a hoping one has hoped to!

عَظُمَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَمَلِي وَ سَاءَ عَمَلِي فَأَعْطِنِي مِنْ عَفْوِكَ بِمِقْدَارِ أَمَلِي وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنِي بِأَسْوَإِ عَمَلِي فَإِنَّ كَرَمَكَ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُجَازَاةِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَ حِلْمَكَ يَكْبُرُ عَنْ مُكَافَأَةِ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ

O my Chief! Mighty are my wishes while evil are my deeds, so Grant me from You^-azwj in accordance to my wishes and do not Seize me for my evil deeds, for Your^-azwj Benevolence is too Majestic from Recompensing the sinners (with Punishment), and Your^-azwj Leniency is too Great from Reciprocating the deficient ones!

وَ أَنَا سَيِّدِي عَائِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ أَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنّاً وَ مَا أَنَا يَا رَبِّ وَ مَا خَطَرِي هَبْنِي بِفَضْلِكَ وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ

My Chief, and I am seeking refuge with Your^-azwj Grace, fleeing from You^-azwj to You^-azwj for accomplishment of what You^-azwj have Promised of the Pardon the one who held goodly thoughts with You^-azwj, and what am I O Lord^-azwj, and what are my thoughts? Gift to me Your^‑azwj Grace and Donate upon me Your^-azwj Pardon!

أَيْ رَبِّ جَلِّلْنِي بِسَتْرِكَ وَ اعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيخِي بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ فَلَوِ اطَّلَعَ الْيَوْمَ عَلَى ذَنْبِي غَيْرُكَ مَا فَعَلْتُهُ وَ لَوْ خِفْتُ تَعْجِيلَ الْعُقُوبَةِ لَاجْتَنَبْتُهُ- لَا لِأَنَّكَ أَهْوَنُ النَّاظِرِينَ إِلَيَّ وَ أَخَفُّ الْمُطَّلِعِينَ عَلَيَّ بَلْ لِأَنَّكَ يَا رَبِّ خَيْرُ السَّاتِرِينَ وَ أَحْلَمُ الْأَحْلَمِينَ وَ أَكْرَمُ الْأَكْرَمِينَ سَتَّارُ الْعُيُوبَ تَسْتُرُ الذَّنْبَ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ تُؤَخِّرُ الْعُقُوبَةَ بِحِلْمِكَ

Yes Lord^-azwj, Clothe me with Your^-azwj covering, and Pardon from Rebuking me by the Benevolence of Your^-azwj Face, for had someone else noticed upon my sins today I would not have done it, and had I feared hastening of the Punishment I would not have committed it, not because the beholders are insignificant to me and I fear them noticing me, but because You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, are Best of the Concealers, and the most Lenient of the lenient ones, and the most Benevolent of the benevolent ones, Concealer of the faults! You^-azwj Cover the sins by Your^-azwj Benevolence, and You^-azwj Delay the Punishment by Your^-azwj Forbearance!

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى حِلْمِكَ بَعْدَ عِلْمِكَ وَ عَلَى عَفْوِكَ بَعْدَ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ يَحْمِلُنِي وَ يُجَرِّئُنِي عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ حِلْمُكَ عَنِّي وَ يَدْعُونِي إِلَى قِلَّةِ الْحَيَاءِ سَتْرُكَ عَلَيَّ وَ يُسْرِعُنِي إِلَى التَّوَثُّبِ عَلَى مَحَارِمِكَ مَعْرِفَتِي بِسَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَظِيمِ عَفْوِكَ يَا حَلِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

For You^-azwj is the Praise upon Your^-azwj Forbearance after Your^-azwj Knowledge, and upon Your^‑azwj Pardon after Your^-azwj Power, and Your^-azwj Lenience from me carried me and dragged me upon disobeying You^-azwj, and Your^-azwj Covering upon me called me to lack of shame and my recognition of vastness of Your^-azwj Mercy and Your^-azwj Mighty Pardon quickened me to be affirmed upon Your^-azwj Prohibitions, O Forbearing, O Benevolent, O Living, O Eternal!

يَا غَافِرَ الذَّنْبِ يَا قَابِلَ التَّوْبِ يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَنِّ يَا مَوْصُوفاً بِالْإِحْسَانِ أَيْنَ سَتْرُكَ الْجَمِيلُ أَيْنَ فَرَجُكَ الْقَرِيبُ أَيْنَ غِيَاثُكَ السَّرِيعُ أَيْنَ رَحْمَتُكَ الْوَاسِعَةُ أَيْنَ عَطَايَاكَ الْفَاضِلَةُ أَيْنَ مَوَاهِبُكَ الْهَنِيئَةُ أَيْنَ صَنَائِعُكَ السَّنِيَّةُ أَيْنَ فَضْلُكَ الْعَظِيمُ أَيْنَ مَنُّكَ الْجَسِيمُ أَيْنَ إِحْسَانُكَ الْقَدِيمُ أَيْنَ كَرَمُكَ

O Forgiver of the sin, O Accepter of the repentance, O Mighty of the Conferment, O Described as being with the Favours! Where is Your^-azwj beautiful cover? Where is Your^-azwj near relief? Where is Your^-azwj swift Help? Where is Your^-azwj vast Mercy? Where are Your^-azwj meritorious awards? Where are Your^-azwj pleasant gifts? Where are Your^-azwj excellent Dealings? Where is Your^-azwj Mighty Grace? Where is Your^-azwj immense Conferment? Where is Your^-azwj ancient Favour? Where is Your^-azwj Benevolence?

يَا كَرِيمُ بِكَ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع فَاسْتَنْقِذْنِي وَ بِهِ وَ بِهِمْ وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ فَخَلِّصْنِي يَا مُحْسِنُ يَا مُجْمِلُ يَا مُنْعِمُ يَا مُفْضِلُ يَا مُتَفَضِّلُ لَسْنَا نَتَّكِلُ فِي النَّجَاةِ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ عَلَى أَعْمَالِنَا بَلْ بِفَضْلِكَ عَلَيْنَا لِأَنَّكَ أَهْلُ التَّقْوَى وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ تَبْتَدِئُ بِالْإِحْسَانِ نِعَماً وَ تَعْفُو عَنِ الذَّنْبِ كَرَماً

O Benevolent! Through You^-azwj and through Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, Save me, and by him^-saww and by them^-asws and by Your^-azwj Mercy, Rescue me, O Favourer, O Beautifier, O Bestower, O Gracious, O Meritor! We are not relying upon our deeds in being saved from Your^-azwj Punishment, but with Your^-azwj Grace upon us, because You^-azwj are rightful of being feared and rightful of the Forgiving! You^-azwj Initiate bounty due to the Favour, and You^-azwj Pardon the sin due to Benevolence!

فَمَا نَدْرِي مَا نَشْكُرُ أَ جَمِيلٌ مَا تَنْشُرُ أَمْ قَبِيحٌ مَا تَسْتُرُ أَمْ عَظِيمٌ مَا أَبْلَيْتَ وَ أَوْلَيْتَ أَمْ كَثِيرٌ مَا مِنْهُ نَجَّيْتَ وَ عَافَيْتَ يَا حَبِيبَ مَنْ تَحَبَّبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَا قُرَّةَ عَيْنِ‏ مَنْ لَاذَ بِهِ وَ انْقَطَعَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْتَ الْمُحْسِنُ وَ نَحْنُ الْمُسِيئُونَ

We do not know what we should thank for, what beautiful (deeds) You^-azwj have Spread or what ugly deeds You^-azwj have Concealed, or mightiness of what You^-azwj have Tried and Granted, or many (dangers) what You^-azwj have Rescued from and Granted well-being! O beloved of the one You^-azwj are beloved to, and O delight of eyes of the one sheltering with Him^-azwj and cuts off (from others) to Him^-azwj! You^-azwj are the good doer and we are the evil doers!

فَتَجَاوَزْ يَا رَبِّ عَنْ قَبِيحِ مَا عِنْدَنَا بِجَمِيلِ مَا عِنْدَكَ فَأَيُّ جَهْلٍ يَا رَبِّ لَا يَسَعُهُ جُودُكَ أَوْ أَيُّ زَمَانٍ أَطْوَلُ مِنْ أَنَاتِكَ وَ مَا قَدْرُ أَعْمَالِنَا فِي جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ وَ كَيْفَ نَسْتَكْثِرُ أَعْمَالًا يُقَابِلُ بِهَا كَرْمُكَ بَلْ كَيْفَ يَضِيقُ عَلَى المدنيين [الْمُذْنِبِينَ‏] مَا وَصَفْتَهُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ

O Lord^-azwj! Overlook from ugliness of what is with us with beauty of what is with You^-azwj! O Lord^-azwj, so which ignorance does Your^-azwj Generosity is not capacious of, or what length of time could exceed Your^-azwj Patience? How can our deeds even compare to Your^-azwj Blessings? How could we consider our actions significant when met with Your^-azwj Grace? And how could the sinners find any shortage in the Mercy You^-azwj have described? O the One^-azwj whose Forgiveness is vast, O the One Who Spreads His^-azwj Hands (Favours) with the Mercy!

فَوَ عِزَّتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي لَوِ انْتَهَرْتَنِي مَا بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بَابِكَ وَ لَا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ لِمَا انْتَهَى إِلَيَّ يَا سَيِّدِي مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْفَاعِلُ لِمَا تَشَاءُ تُعَذِّبُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِمَا تَشَاءُ كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ وَ تَرْحَمُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِمَا تَشَاءُ كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ- لَا تُسْأَلُ عَنْ فِعْلِكَ وَ لَا تُنَازَعُ فِي مُلْكِكَ وَ لَا تُشَارَكُ فِي أَمْرِكَ وَ لَا تُضَادُّ فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ لَا يَعْتَرِضُ عَلَيْكَ أَحَدٌ فِي تَدْبِيرِكَ

By Your^-azwj Might, O my Chief! Even if You^-azwj were to Rebuke me, I would not leave Your^-azwj door, nor cease to seek Your^-azwj Favour, for what I have come to know of Your^-azwj Generosity and Kindness keeps me steadfast. You^-azwj are the One^-azwj Who does whatever You^-azwj Desire to, punishing whoever You^-azwj Desire to, however You^-azwj Desire to, and to Mercy whoever You^-azwj Desire to! You^-azwj cannot be questioned about Your^-azwj Actions nor contended regarding Your^-azwj Kingdom, nor associated in Your^-azwj Command, nor contradicted in Your^‑azwj Decision, nor can anyone oppose to You^-azwj in Your^-azwj Management!

لَكَ الْخَلْقُ وَ الْأَمْرُ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ أَنْتَ أَحْسَنُ الْخَالِقِينَ وَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَا رَبِّ هَذَا مَقَامُ مَنْ لَاذَ بِكَ وَ اسْتَجَارَ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ أَلِفَ إِحْسَانَكَ وَ نِعَمَكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الَّذِي لَا يَضِيقُ عَفْوُكَ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُ فَضْلُكَ وَ لَا تَقِلُّ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ قَدْ تَوَثَّقْنَا مِنْكَ بِالصَّفْحِ الْقَدِيمِ وَ الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ الْوَاسِعَةِ

For You^-azwj is the creating and the Commanding! Blessed are You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds! You^-azwj are the Best of the creators, and Lord^-azwj of the worlds! O Lord^-azwj! This is a position of one who shelters with You^-azwj and seeks shelter with Your^-azwj Benevolent, and Your^-azwj united Favours and Your^-azwj bounties, and You^-azwj are the Generous Whose Your Pardon is neither restricted nor Your^-azwj Grace is deficient, nor Your^-azwj Mercy is lacking, and we have trusted in You^-azwj with the ancient Pardon, and the mighty Grace, and the vast Mercy!

أَ فَتَرَاكَ يَا رَبِّ تُخْلِفُ ظُنُونَنَا أَوْ تُخَيِّبُ آمَالَنَا كَلَّا يَا كَرِيمُ لَيْسَ هَذَا ظَنَنَّا بِكَ وَ لَا هَذَا طَمَعُنَا فِيكَ

O Lord^-azwj! Do You^-azwj See Yourself^-azwj Breaking our thoughts or Disappointing our hopes? Never, O Benevolent! These aren’t our thoughts with You^-azwj nor is this our hope regarding You^-azwj!

يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ لَنَا فِيكَ أَمَلًا طَوِيلًا كَثِيراً إِنَّ لَنَا بِكَ رَجَاءً عَظِيماً عَصَيْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيْنَا وَ دَعَوْنَاكَ وَ نَحْنُ نَرْجُو أَنْ تَسْتَجِيبَ لَنَا فَحَقِّقْ رَجَاءَنَا

O Lord^-azwj! For us, regarding You^-azwj, there are many long wishes! For us, with You^-azwj, there are mighty hopes, and we hope that You^-azwj will Cover upon us, and we supplicate to You^-azwj and we hope that You^-azwj will Respond to us, so our hopes would be realised!

يَا مَوْلَانَا فَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا مَا نَسْتَوْجِبُ بِأَعْمَالِنَا وَ لَكِنْ عِلْمُكَ فِينَا وَ عِلْمُنَا بِأَنَّكَ لَا تَصْرِفُنَا عَنْكَ حَثَّنَا عَلَى الرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ إِنْ كُنَّا غَيْرَ مُسْتَوْجِبِينَ لِرَحْمَتِكَ فَأَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تَجُودَ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلَى الْمُذْنِبِينَ بِفَضْلِ سَعَتِكَ

O our Master! We have come to understand what we truly deserve due to our actions, yet Your^-azwj Knowledge of us and our awareness that You^-azwj do not turn us away from You^-azwj has encouraged us to long for You^-azwj, and although we may not be deserving of Your^-azwj Mercy, You^-azwj are indeed worthy of Bestowing Your^-azwj Grace upon us and upon all sinners out of the vastness of Your^-azwj Grace!

وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيْنَا بِمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ جُدْ عَلَيْنَا بِفَضْلِ إِحْسَانِكَ فَإِنَّا مُحْتَاجُونَ إِلَى نَيْلِكَ يَا غَفَّارُ بِنُورِكَ اهْتَدَيْنَا وَ بِفَضْلِكَ اسْتَغْنَيْنَا وَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ أَصْبَحْنَا وَ أَمْسَيْنَا ذُنُوبُنَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ نَسْتَغْفِرُكَ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْهَا وَ نَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ

Grant us what You^-azwj are worthy of Bestowing and be Generous with us through Your^-azwj Benevolence, for we are in need of Your^-azwj gifts, O Forgiver! Through Your^-azwj Light we have been Guided, by Your^-azwj Favour we have been enriched, and with Your^-azwj bounties we come to morning and evening! Our sins lie before You^-azwj, and we seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness, O Allah^-azwj, from these and we repent to You^-azwj!

تَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيْنَا بِالنِّعَمِ وَ نُعَارِضُكَ بِالذُّنُوبِ خَيْرُكَ إِلَيْنَا نَازِلٌ وَ شَرُّنَا إِلَيْكَ صَاعِدٌ وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ يَأْتِيكَ عَنَّا فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ بِعَمَلٍ قَبِيحٍ فَلَا يَمْنَعُكَ مَا يَأْتِي مِنَّا مِنْ ذَلِكَ أَنْ تَحُوطَنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ‏ وَ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيْنَا بِآلَائِكَ

You^-azwj Endear Yourself^-azwj to us with bounties, yet we respond to You^-azwj with sinning. Your^‑azwj Goodness descends upon us while our wrongdoing ascends toward You^-azwj! Every day, a noble Angel brings to You^-azwj our disgraceful deeds, yet what comes from us does not prevent You^-azwj from enveloping us in Your^-azwj Mercy and continuing Your^-azwj Favour upon us!

فَسُبْحَانَكَ مَا أَحْلَمَكَ وَ أَعْظَمَكَ وَ أَكْرَمَكَ مُبْدِئاً وَ مُعِيداً تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ كَرُمَ صَنَائِعُكَ وَ فِعَالُكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي أَوْسَعُ فَضْلًا وَ أَعْظَمُ حِلْماً مِنْ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِفِعْلِي وَ خَطِيئَتِي فَالْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ الْعَفْوَ سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي

Glory be to You^-azwj! How Forbearing and Magnificent and Benevolent You^-azwj are in giving and taking back! Blessed are Your^-azwj Names, exalted is Your^-azwj Praise, and noble are Your^‑azwj Deeds and actions! My God^-azwj, Your^-azwj bounties and Patience are too vast to Judge me solely by my actions and sins! So, the Pardon, the Pardon, the Pardon! My Chief, my Chief, my Chief!

اللَّهُمَّ اشْغَلْنَا بِذِكْرِكَ وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ أَجِرْنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ مَوَاهِبِكَ وَ أَنْعِمْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنَا حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ وَ زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَ رِضْوَانُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ إِنَّكَ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ وَ ارْزُقْنَا طَاعَتَكَ وَ تَوَفَّنَا عَلَى مِلَّتِكَ وَ سُنَّةِ رَسُولِكَ ع

O Allah^-azwj! Pre-occupy us with Your^-azwj Zikr, and Refuge us from Your^-azwj Wrath, and Shelter us from Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and Provide us from Your^-azwj gifts, and Favour upon us from Your^-azwj Grace, and Grace us Hajj of Your^-azwj House, and visitation of grave of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww! May Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Your^-azwj Mercy, and Your^-azwj Forgiveness, and Your^‑azwj Blessings, and Your^-azwj Pleasure be upon him^-saww and upon People^-asws of his^-saww Household! You^-azwj are Near, Responding, and Grace us obedience to You^-azwj, and Cause us to die upon Your^-azwj religion, and Sunnah of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوالِدَيَ‏ وَ ارْحَمْهُما كَما رَبَّيانِي صَغِيراً وَ اجْزِهِمَا بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِحْسَاناً وَ بِالسَّيِّئَاتِ غُفْرَاناً

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Forgive for me, and for my parents, and Mercy them just as they nourished me when I was young, and Reward them with the Favours for the good deeds, and Forgiveness for the evil deeds!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ تَابِعْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ

O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the living from them and the dead. Join between us and them in the goodness!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِحَيِّنَا وَ مَيِّتِنَا وَ شَاهِدِنَا وَ غَائِبِنَا وَ ذَكَرِنَا وَ أُنْثَانَا صَغِيرِنَا وَ كَبِيرِنَا حُرِّنَا وَ عَبْدِنَا كَذَبَ الْعَادِلُونَ بِاللَّهِ وَ ضَلُّوا ضَلالًا بَعِيداً وَ خَسِرُوا خُسْراناً مُبِيناً

O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for our living ones and our dead, and our present ones and our absentees, and our males and our females, our young and our old, our free ones and our slaves! The ones equating with Allah^-azwj are lying, and they have strayed a far straying, and they have incurred a manifest loss!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي بِخَيْرٍ وَ اكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي مِنْ أَمْرِ دُنْيَايَ وَ آخِرَتِي وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيَّ مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنِي وَ اجْعَلْ عَلَيَّ مِنْكَ جُنَّةً وَاقِيَةً بَاقِيَةً وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنِي صَالِحَ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and End for me with good, and Suffice me of what worries me from matters of my world and my Hereafter, and do not Let to prevail upon me someone who will not mercy me, and Make upon me from You^-azwj a saving lasting shield, and do not Strip me of goodness of what You^-azwj have Favoured with upon me, and Provide me vast sustenance from Your^-azwj Grace, Permissible, good!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ احْرُسْنِي بِحَرَاسَتِكَ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِحِفْظِكَ وَ اكْلَأْنِي بِكِلَاءَتِكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي حَجَّ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِي عَامِنَا وَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي زِيَارَةَ قَبْرِ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ لَا تُخْلِنِي يَا رَبِّ مِنْ تِلْكَ الْمَوَاقِفِ الشَّرِيفَةِ وَ الْمَشَاهِدِ الْكَرِيمَةِ

O Allah^-azwj, Guard me with Your^-azwj Guard, and Protect me with Your^-azwj Protection, and Shelter me with Your^-azwj Shelter, and Grace me Hajj of Your^-azwj Sacred House in (this) year of ours, and in every year for as long as You^-azwj Cause us to remain, and Grace me visitation of the grave of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws, and do not Vacate me, O Lord^-azwj, from these noble pausing, and the honourable attendances!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ تُبْ عَلَيَّ حَتَّى لَا أَعْصِيَكَ وَ أَلْهِمْنِي الْخَيْرَ وَ الْعَمَلَ بِهِ وَ خَشْيَتَكَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj, Turn to me until I do not disobey You^-azwj, and Inspire me the good and the acting with it, and to fear You^-azwj by the night and the day for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to remain, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

إِلَهِي مَا لِي كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ تَهَيَّأْتُ وَ تَعَبَّأْتُ وَ قُمْتُ لِلصَّلَاةِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ وَ نَاجَيْتُ أَلْقَيْتَ عَلَيَّ نُعَاساً إِذَا أَنَا صَلَّيْتُ وَ سَلَبْتَنِي مُنَاجَاتَكَ إِذَا أَنَا نَاجَيْتُ

My God^-azwj! What is the matter with me, every time I say I am ready and prepared and I stand for the Salat in front of You^-azwj and whisper to You^-azwj, drowsiness is cast upon me when I pray Salat, and whispering to You^-azwj is stripped from me when I whisper!

مَا لِي كُلَّمَا قُلْتُ قَدْ صَلُحَتْ سَرِيرَتِي وَ قَرُبَ مِنْ مَجَالِسِ التَّوَّابِينَ مَجْلِسِي عَرَضَتْ لِي بَلِيَّةٌ أَزَالَتْ‏ قَدَمِي وَ حَالَتْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ خِدْمَتِكَ

What is the matter with me every time I say I have rectified my secrets and my seat draws closer to seat of the repenting ones, afflictions present to me, my feet slip and forms a barrier between me and serving You^-azwj!

سَيِّدِي لَعَلَّكَ عَنْ بَابِكَ طَرَدْتَنِي وَ عَنْ خِدْمَتِكَ نَحَّيْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي مُسْتَخِفّاً بِحَقِّكَ فَأَقْصَيْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي مُعْرِضاً عَنْكَ فَقَلَيْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ وَجَدْتَنِي فِي مَقَامِ الْكَاذِبِينَ فَرَفَضْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي غَيْرَ شَاكِرٍ لِنَعْمَائِكَ فَحَرَمْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ فَقَدْتَنِي مِنْ مَجَالِسِ الْعُلَمَاءِ فَخَذَلْتَنِي

My Chief! Perhaps You^-azwj have Expelled me from Your^-azwj doors, and Removed me from Your^-azwj doors, or perhaps You^-azwj Saw me taking lightly with Your^-azwj rights so You^-azwj Distanced me, or perhaps You^-azwj Saw me turning away from You^-azwj so You^-azwj Repelled me, or perhaps You^-azwj Found me in a place of the liars so Your^-azwj Rejected me, or perhaps You^‑azwj Saw me as ungrateful of Your^-azwj bounties, so You^-azwj Deprived me, or perhaps You^-azwj Missed me from gatherings of the scholars so You^-azwj Abandoned me!

أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي فِي الْغَافِلِينَ فَمِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ آيَسْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ رَأَيْتَنِي آلَفُ مَجَالِسَ الْبَطَّالِينَ فَبَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهُمْ خَلَّيْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ لَمْ تُحِبَّ أَنْ تَسْمَعَ دُعَائِي فَبَاعَدْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِجُرْمِي وَ جَرِيرَتِي كَافَيْتَنِي أَوْ لَعَلَّكَ بِقِلَّةِ حَيَائِي مِنْكَ جَازَيْتَنِي

Or perhaps You^-azwj Saw me among the heedless ones so You^-azwj Made me despair of Your^-azwj Mercy, or perhaps You^-azwj Saw me attending gatherings of the falsifier so You^-azwj Vacated between me and them, or perhaps You^-azwj did not Like to Hear my supplication so You^-azwj Distanced me, or perhaps You^-azwj are Returning me away due to my crimes and my audacities, or perhaps You^-azwj are Recompensing me due to lack of my shame from You^-azwj!

فَإِنْ عَفَوْتَ يَا رَبِّ فَطَالَ مَا عَفَوْتَ عَنِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ قَبْلِي لِأَنَّ كَرَمَكَ أَيْ رَبِّ يَجِلُّ عَنْ مُجَازَاةِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ وَ حِلْمَكَ يَكْبُرُ عَنْ مُكَافَأَةِ الْمُقَصِّرِينَ فَأَنَا عَائِذٌ بِفَضْلِكَ هَارِبٌ مِنْكَ إِلَيْكَ مُتَنَجِّزٌ مَا وَعَدْتَ مِنَ الصَّفْحِ عَمَّنْ أَحْسَنَ بِكَ ظَنّاً

If You^-azwj were to Pardon, O Lord^-azwj, for long You^-azwj have Pardoned the sinners before me because of Your^-azwj Benevolent, yes, my Lord^-azwj is more majestic from Repaying the sinner, and Your^-azwj Leniency is greater from Returning away the deficient ones! I shelter with Your^-azwj Grace, fleeing from You^-azwj to You^-azwj for accomplishment of what You^‑azwj have Promised of Pardoning the ones who has goodly thoughts with You^-azwj!

إِلَهِي أَنْتَ أَوْسَعُ فَضْلًا وَ أَعْظَمُ حِلْماً مِنْ أَنْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِظُلْمِي أَوْ أَنْ تَسْتَزِلَّنِي بِخَطِيئَتِي وَ مَا أَنَا يَا سَيِّدِي وَ مَا خَطَرِي هَبْنِي بِفَضْلِكَ وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ جَلِّلْنِي بِسَتْرِكَ وَ اعْفُ عَنْ تَوْبِيخِي بِكَرَمِ وَجْهِكَ

My God^-azwj! You^-azwj are of more capacious Grace, and of mightier Forbearance that for You^‑azwj to Comparing me with my injustice, or for You^-azwj to Accord me status as per my wrongdoing, and what am I, O my Chief, and what are my thoughts? Bestow me with Your^‑azwj Grace, and Donate upon me with Your^-azwj Pardon, and Clothe me with Your^-azwj Cover, and Pardon from Rebuking me by the Honour of Your^-azwj Face!

سَيِّدِي أَنَا الصَّغِيرُ الَّذِي رَبَّيْتَهُ وَ أَنَا الْجَاهِلُ الَّذِي عَلَّمْتَهُ وَ أَنَا الضَّالُّ الَّذِي هَدَيْتَهُ وَ أَنَا الْوَضِيعُ الَّذِي رَفَعْتَهُ وَ أَنَا الْخَائِفُ الَّذِي آمَنْتَهُ وَ أَنَا الْجَائِعُ الَّذِي أَشْبَعْتَهُ وَ الْعَطْشَانُ الَّذِي أَرْوَيْتَهُ وَ الْعَارِي الَّذِي كَسَوْتَهُ وَ الْفَقِيرُ الَّذِي أَغْنَيْتَهُ وَ الضَّعِيفُ الَّذِي قَوَّيْتَهُ وَ الذَّلِيلُ الَّذِي أَعْزَزْتَهُ وَ السَّقِيمُ الَّذِي شَفَيْتَهُ وَ السَّائِلُ الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتَهُ وَ الْمُذْنِبُ الَّذِي سَتَرْتَهُ وَ الْخَاطِئُ الَّذِي أَقَلْتَهُ وَ الْقَلِيلُ الَّذِي كَثَّرْتَهُ وَ الْمُسْتَضْعَفُ الَّذِي نَصَرْتَهُ وَ الطَّرِيدُ الَّذِي آوَيْتَهُ

My Chief! I am the insignificant one whom You^-azwj have Raised, the ignorant one whom You^‑azwj have Taught, the lost one whom You^-azwj have Guided, the lowly one whom You^-azwj have Elevated, the fearful one whom You^-azwj have Secured, the hungry one whom You^-azwj have Fed, the thirsty one whom You^-azwj have Quenched, the naked one whom You^-azwj have Clothed, the poor one whom You^-azwj have Enriched, the weak one whom You^-azwj have Strengthened, the humiliated one whom You^-azwj have Honoured, the sick one whom You^-azwj have Healed, the petitioner whom You^-azwj have Answered, the sinner whom You^-azwj have Covered, the wrongdoer whom You^-azwj have Forgiven, the small one whom You^-azwj have Made significant, the oppressed one whom You^-azwj have Helped, and the outcast whom You^-azwj have Sheltered.

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ أَنَا يَا رَبِّ الَّذِي لَمْ أَسْتَحْيِكَ فِي الْخَلَاءِ وَ لَمْ أُرَاقِبْكَ فِي الْمَلَإِ وَ أَنَا صَاحِبُ الدَّوَاهِي الْعُظْمَى أَنَا الَّذِي عَلَى سَيِّدِهِ اجْتَرَى أَنَا الَّذِي عَصَيْتُ جَبَّارَ السَّمَاءِ أَنَا الَّذِي أَعْطَيْتُ عَلَى الْمَعَاصِي جَلِيلَ الرِّشَا أَنَا الَّذِي حِينَ بُشِّرْتُ بِهَا خَرَجْتُ إِلَيْهَا أَسْعَى أَنَا الَّذِي أَمْهَلْتَنِي فَمَا ارْعَوَيْتُ وَ سَتَرْتَ عَلَيَّ

So, to You^-azwj belongs all Praise; and I, O Lord^-azwj, am the one who did not feel shame before You^-azwj in private, nor was I mindful of You^-azwj in public. I am the one burdened with great calamities. I am the one who dared to defy his Master. I am the one who disobeyed the Subduer of the heavens. I am the one who embraced lusts to pursue sins. I am the one who, when tempted by them, hastened toward them eagerly. I am the one whom You^-azwj Respited, yet I did not take heed, and yet You^-azwj covered upon me!

فَمَا اسْتَحْيَيْتُ وَ عَمِلْتُ بِالْمَعَاصِي فَتَعَدَّيْتُ وَ أَسْقَطْتَنِي مِنْ عَيْنِكَ فَمَا بَالَيْتُ فَبِحِلْمِكَ أَمْهَلْتَنِي وَ بِسِتْرِكَ سَتَرْتَنِي حَتَّى كَأَنَّكَ أَغْفَلْتَنِي وَ مِنْ عُقُوبَاتِ الْمَعَاصِي جَنَّبْتَنِي حَتَّى‏ كَأَنَّكَ اسْتَحْيَيْتَنِي

Yet I felt no shame and persisted in my sins, transgressing, and You^-azwj Cast me from Your^-azwj Sight, yet I did not care. By Your^-azwj Forbearance You^-azwj Granted me time, and with Your^-azwj Concealment, You^-azwj Covered me as if You^-azwj had Overlooked my faults, and You^-azwj Protected me from the consequences of my sins, as if You^-azwj were Sparing me from disgrace!

إِلَهِي لَمْ أَعْصِكَ حِينَ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ أَنَا بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ جَاحِدٌ وَ لَا بِأَمْرِكَ مُسْتَخِفٌّ وَ لَا لِعُقُوبَتِكَ مُتَعَرِّضٌ وَ لَا لِوَعِيدِكَ مُتَهَاوِنٌ وَ لَكِنْ خَطِيئَةٌ عَرَضَتْ وَ سَوَّلَتْ لِي نَفْسِي وَ غَلَبَنِي هَوَايَ وَ أَعَانَنِي عَلَيْهَا شِقْوَتِي وَ غَرَّنِي سِتْرُكَ الْمُرْخَى عَلَيَّ فَقَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ وَ خَالَفْتُكَ بِجُهْدِي

My God^-azwj, I did not disobey You^-azwj in denial of Your^-azwj Lordship, nor in disregard of Your^‑azwj Command, nor out of defiance of Your^-azwj Punishment, nor in neglect of Your^-azwj Warnings. Rather, a sin came upon me, and my soul tempted me, my desires overcame me, and my misfortune aided me in that sin. Your^-azwj Concealment, which You^-azwj Extended over me deceived me, so I disobeyed You^-azwj and opposed You^-azwj with all my efforts!

فَالْآنَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ مَنْ يَسْتَنْقِذُنِي وَ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْخُصَمَاءِ غَداً مَنْ يُخَلِّصُنِي وَ بِحَبْلِ مَنْ أَتَّصِلُ إِنْ أَنْتَ قَطَعْتَ حَبْلَكَ عَنِّي فَوَا سَوْأَتَا عَلَى مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ مِنْ عَمَلِيَ الَّذِي لَوْ لَا مَا أَرْجُو مِنْ كَرَمِكَ وَ سَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ نَهْيِكَ إِيَّايَ عَنِ الْقُنُوطِ لَقَنَطْتُ عِنْدَ مَا أَتَذَكَّرُهَا

So now, who will rescue me from Your^-azwj Punishment, and tomorrow, who will save me from the hands of my adversaries? To whose rope will I hold if You^-azwj sever Your rope from me? What shame I feel over what Your^-azwj record has counted of my deeds! If it were not for my hope in Your^-azwj Generosity, the vastness of Your^-azwj Mercy, and Your^-azwj Prohibition against despair, I would have despaired when I remembered all this!

يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دَعَاهُ دَاعٍ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَنْ رَجَاهُ رَاجٍ اللَّهُمَّ بِذِمَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ أَتَوَسَّلُ إِلَيْكَ وَ بِحُرْمَةِ الْقُرْآنِ أَعْتَمِدُ عَلَيْكَ وَ بِحُبِّي لِلنَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الْقُرَشِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ التِّهَامِيِّ الْمَكِّيِّ الْمَدَنِيِّ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَرْجُو الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ

O the Best of the one a supplicatory can supplicate to, and most Superior of the ones a hoping one can hope to! O Allah^-azwj! By the protection of Al-Islam I seek mediation to You^-azwj, and by sanctity of the Quran I rely upon You^-azwj, and by my love for the Prophet^-saww, the Ummy, the Qureyshi, the Hashemite, the Arabian, the (one from) Tihama, the Meccan, the Medinite, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, I hope to closer to You^-azwj!

فَلَا تُوحِشِ اسْتِينَاسَ إِيمَانِي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ ثَوَابِي ثَوَابَ مَنْ عَبَدَ سِوَاكَ فَإِنَّ قَوْماً آمَنُوا بِأَلْسِنَتِهِمْ لِيَحْقُنُوا بِهِ دِمَاءَهُمْ فَأَدْرَكُوا مَا أَمَّلُوا وَ إِنَّا آمَنَّا بِكَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا وَ قُلُوبِنَا لِتَعْفُوَ عَنَّا فَأَدْرِكْنَا مَا أَمَّلْنَا وَ ثَبِّتْ رَجَاءَكَ فِي صُدُورِنَا وَ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ هَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ

So do not Make my heart feel estranged from the comfort of faith, and do not Make my Reward like that of those who worshipped others besides You^-azwj! For there were people who professed faith with their tongues only to protect their lives, and they achieved what they hoped for. But we have believed in You^-azwj with our tongues and our hearts so that You^-azwj might forgive us. Grant us what we hope for and Affirm Your^-azwj hope within our chests, ‘Our Lord! Do not Let our hearts to deviate after You have Guided us aright, and Grant us Mercy from You; surely You are the Bestower [3:8]!

فَوَ عِزَّتِكَ لَوِ انْتَهَرْتَنِي مَا بَرِحْتُ مِنْ بَابِكَ وَ لَا كَفَفْتُ عَنْ تَمَلُّقِكَ لِمَا أُلْهِمَ قَلْبِي يَا سَيِّدِي مِنَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ سَعَةِ رَحْمَتِكَ إِلَى مَنْ يَذْهَبُ الْعَبْدُ إِلَّا إِلَى مَوْلَاهُ وَ إِلَى مَنْ يَلْتَجِئُ الْمَخْلُوقُ إِلَّا إِلَى خَالِقِهِ

By Your^-azwj Might! Even if You^-azwj were to Drive me away, I would not leave Your^-azwj door, nor would I cease praising You^-azwj, for my heart has been inspired with knowledge of Your^-azwj Generosity and the vastness of Your^-azwj Mercy. To whom does a servant go if not to his Master? And to whom does a creature turn if not to his Creator?

إِلَهِي لَوْ قَرَنْتَنِي بِالْأَصْفَادِ وَ مَنَعْتَنِي سَيْبَكَ مِنْ بَيْنِ الْأَشْهَادِ وَ دَلَلْتَ عَلَى فَضَائِحِي عُيُونَ الْعِبَادِ وَ أَمَرْتَ بِي عَلَى النَّارِ وَ حُلْتَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ الْأَبْرَارِ مَا قَطَعْتُ رَجَائِي مِنْكَ وَ لَا صَرَفْتُ وَجْهَ تَأْمِيلِي لِلْعَفْوِ عَنْكَ وَ لَا خَرَجَ حُبُّكَ مِنْ قَلْبِي أَنَا لَا أَنْسَى أَيَادِيَكَ عِنْدِي وَ سَتْرَكَ عَلَيَّ فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا

My God^-azwj, even if You^-azwj Bind me in chains, withheld Your^-azwj bounty from me before all witnesses, Exposed my disgrace to the eyes of people, Commanded me to enter the Hellfire, and Kept me from the company of the righteous, I would still not lose my hope in You^-azwj, nor turn away my face from seeking Your^-azwj Pardon, nor would Your^-azwj love ever leave my heart. I cannot forget Your^-azwj Favours upon me and Your^-azwj Concealment of my faults in house of the world!

سَيِّدِي صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَخْرِجْ حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا عَنْ قَلْبِي وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ الْمُصْطَفَى وَ آلِهِ خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ انْقُلْنِي إِلَى دَرَجَةِ التَّوْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَعِنِّي بِالْبُكَاءِ عَلَى نَفْسِي فَقَدْ أَفْنَيْتُ بِالتَّسْوِيفِ وَ الْآمَالِ عُمُرِي وَ قَدْ نَزَلْتُ مَنْزِلَةَ الْآيِسِينَ مِنْ خَيْرِي-

My Chief! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Expel love of the world from my heart, and Gather between me and the Chosen one (Al-Mustafa^-saww) and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, Your^-azwj Choice from Your^-azwj creatures, Last of the Prophets^-saww, Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws, and Transfer me to the rank of repenting to You^-azwj, and Assist me with crying upon myself, for I have spent my life with the procrastination and the hopes, and I have descended to the status of the ones despairing from my goodness!

فَمَنْ يَكُونُ أَسْوَأَ حَالًا مِنِّي إِنْ أَنَا نُقِلْتُ عَلَى مِثْلِ حَالِي إِلَى قَبْرِي وَ لَمْ أَمْهَدْهُ لِرَقْدَتِي وَ لَمْ أَفْرُشْهُ بِالْعَمَلِ الصَّالِحِ لِضَجْعَتِي وَ مَا لِي لَا أَبْكِي وَ لَا أَدْرِي إِلَى مَا يَكُونُ مَصِيرِي وَ أَرَى نَفْسِي تُخَادِعُنِي وَ أَيَّامِي تُخَاتِلُنِي وَ قَدْ خَفَقَتْ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي أَجْنِحَةُ الْمَوْتِ

So, who could be in a worse state than mine if I were to be transported in the same condition to my grave, without having prepared it for my resting place and without having adorned it with righteous deeds for my lying down? Why should I not weep, not knowing what my fate will be? I see my soul deceiving me, and my days betraying me, while the wings of death flutter above my head!

فَمَا لِي لَا أَبْكِي أَبْكِي لِخُرُوجِ نَفْسِي أَبْكِي لِظُلْمَةِ قَبْرِي أَبْكِي لِضِيقِ لَحْدِي أَبْكِي لِسُؤَالِ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيرٍ إِيَّايَ أَبْكِي لِخُرُوجِي عَنْ قَبْرِي عُرْيَاناً ذَلِيلًا حَامِلًا ثِقْلِي عَلَى ظَهْرِي أَنْظُرُ مَرَّةً عَنْ يَمِينِي وَ أُخْرَى عَنْ شِمَالِي إِذِ الْخَلَائِقُ فِي شَأْنٍ غَيْرِ شَأْنِي‏

So, why should I not weep? I weep for the departure of my soul, I weep for the darkness of my grave, I weep for the constriction of my tomb, I weep for the questioning by Munkar and Nakir[2] of me. I weep for my emergence from my grave, naked and humiliated, carrying my burdens upon my back. I look once to my right and again to my left, while the creatures are pre-occupied with matters other than mine!

لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ- وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ مُسْفِرَةٌ ضاحِكَةٌ مُسْتَبْشِرَةٌ وَ وُجُوهٌ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَيْها غَبَرَةٌ تَرْهَقُها قَتَرَةٌ وَ ذِلَّةٌ

For every person from them on that Day, would be a concern occupying him [80:37] Some faces on that Day would be bright [80:38] Laughing, joyous [80:39] And (other) faces on that Day, upon them shall be dust [80:40] Darkness shall cover them [80:41] and disgrace!

سَيِّدِي عَلَيْكَ مُعَوَّلِي وَ مُعْتَمَدِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ تَوَكُّلِي وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقِي تُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَ تَهْدِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ مَنْ تُحِبُّ

My Chief! Upon You^-azwj is my trust and my dependence, and my hopes and my reliance, and with Your^-azwj Mercy is my attachment! You^-azwj Pour Your^-azwj Mercy on the one You^-azwj Desire to, and You^-azwj Guide by Your^-azwj Mercy the one You^-azwj Love!

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا نَقَّيْتَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ قَلْبِي وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى بَسْطِ لِسَانِي أَ فَبِلِسَانِي هَذَا الْكَالِّ أَشْكُرُكَ أَمْ بِغَايَةِ جُهْدِي فِي عَمَلِي أُرْضِيكَ وَ مَا قَدْرُ لِسَانِي يَا رَبِّ فِي جَنْبِ شُكْرِكَ وَ قَدْرُ عَمَلِي فِي جَنْبِ نِعَمِكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise upon what You^-azwj Purified my heart from the Shirk, and for You^-azwj is the Praise upon Extending my tongue (with eloquence). Is it with this weary tongue can I thank You^-azwj, or with the peak of my efforts in my actions can I satisfy You^-azwj, and what is the worth of my tongue, O Lord^-azwj, in comparison to Your^-azwj bounties and Your^‑azwj Favours!

إِلَهِي إِنَّ جُودَكَ بَسَطَ أَمَلِي وَ شُكْرَكَ قَبْلَ عَمَلِي

My God^-azwj! Your^-azwj Generosity extends my hopes, and Your^-azwj Appreciation before my actions.

سَيِّدِي إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَتِي وَ مِنْكَ رَهْبَتِي وَ إِلَيْكَ تَأْمِيلِي فَقَدْ سَاقَنِي إِلَيْكَ أَمَلِي وَ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَاجِدِي عَكَفَتْ هِمَّتِي وَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ انْبَسَطَتْ رَغْبَتِي وَ لَكَ خَالِصُ رَجَائِي وَ خَوْفِي وَ بِكَ أَنِسَتْ مَحَبَّتِي وَ إِلَيْكَ أَلْقَيْتُ بِيَدِي وَ بِحَبْلِ طَاعَتِكَ مَدَدْتُ يَدِي

My Chief! To You^-azwj I turn my desire, from You^-azwj I feel awe, and to You^-azwj I extend my hopes. My aspirations have driven me toward You^-azwj, and my resolve is devoted solely to You^-azwj while my yearning unfolds for what is with You^-azwj. To You^-azwj alone belongs my purest hope and fear, and with You^-azwj, my love finds comfort. I have placed myself entirely in Your^-azwj Care, and I reach out with the bond of obedience to You^-azwj.

مَوْلَايَ بِذِكْرِكَ عَاشَ قَلْبِي وَ بِمُنَاجَاتِكَ بَرَّدْتُ أَلَمَ الْخَوْفِ عَنِّي فَيَا مَوْلَايَ وَ يَا مُؤَمَّلِي وَ يَا مُنْتَهَى سُؤْلِي

My Master! By Your^-azwj Zikr my heart finds life, and through intimate conversation with You^‑azwj, I relieve the pain of fear. O my Master, O my greatest hope, and the ultimate of my requests!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ فَرِّقْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ ذَنْبِيَ الْمَانِعِ لِي مِنْ لُزُومِ طَاعَتِكَ فَإِنَّمَا أَسْأَلُكَ لِقَدِيمِ الرَّجَاءِ لَكَ وَ عَظِيمِ الطَّمَعِ فِيكَ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ مِنَ الرَّأْفَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ فَالْأَمْرُ لَكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ الْخَلْقُ كُلُّهُمْ عِبَادُكَ وَ فِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ خَاضِعٌ لَكَ تَبَارَكْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Separate between me and my sins which prevent me from necessitating obedience to You^-azwj! But rather, I ask You^-azwj for the ancient (everlasting) hoping to You^-azwj, and the mighty eagerness regarding You^-azwj which You^-azwj have Obligated upon Yourself^-saww the Kindness and the Mercy! The Command is for You^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You^-azwj, and the creatures, all of them are Your^-azwj servants and in Your^-azwj Grip, and all things humble to You^-azwj! Blessed are You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ فَارْحَمْنِي إِذَا انْقَطَعَتْ حُجَّتِي وَ كَلَّ عَنْ جَوَابِكَ لِسَانِي وَ طَاشَ عِنْدَ سُؤَالِكَ إِيَّايَ لُبِّي فَيَا عَظِيماً يُرْجَى لِكُلِّ عَظِيمٍ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي فَلَا تُخَيِّبْنِي إِذَا اشْتَدَّتْ‏ إِلَيْكَ فَاقَتِي

O Allah^-azwj! Mercy me when my arguments are cut off, and grows weary of responding to You, and my mind becomes perplexed at Your^-azwj Questioning. O Great One^-azwj, in whom all greatness is sought! You^-azwj are my hope, so do not disappoint me when my need for You^-azwj intensifies.

وَ لَا تَرُدَّنِي لِجَهْلِي وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنِي لِقِلَّةِ صَبْرِي أَعْطِنِي لِفَقْرِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي لِضَعْفِي سَيِّدِي عَلَيْكَ مُعْتَمَدِي وَ مُعَوَّلِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ تَوَكُّلِي وَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ تَعَلُّقِي وَ بِفِنَائِكَ أَحُطُّ رَحْلِي وَ بِجُودِكَ أَقْصِدُ طَلِبَتِي

Do not turn me away due to my ignorance, nor deny me for my lack of patience. Grant me because of my poverty, and have Mercy on me in my weakness. My Master, upon You^-azwj I depend and rely, in You^-azwj I place my hope and trust, and to Your^-azwj Mercy I cling, at Your^‑azwj threshold, I lay down my burden, to Your^-azwj generosity, I direct my request!

وَ بِكَرَمِكَ أَيْ رَبِّ أَسْتَفْتِحُ دُعَائِي وَ لَدَيْكَ أَرْجُو ضِيَافَتِي وَ بِعِنَايَتِكَ أَجْبُرُ عَيْلَتِي وَ تَحْتَ ظِلِّ عَفْوِكَ قِيَامِي وَ إِلَى جُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ أَرْفَعُ بَصَرِي وَ إِلَى مَعْرُوفِكَ أُدِيمُ نَظَرِي فَلَا تُحْرِقْنِي بِالنَّارِ وَ أَنْتَ مَوْضِعُ أَمَلِي وَ لَا تُسْكِنِّي الْهَاوِيَةَ فَإِنَّكَ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي

And with Your^-azwj Generosity, O my Lord^-azwj, I begin my supplication; to You^-azwj I look for my welcome, and by Your^-azwj Care I mend my need. Under the shade of Your^-azwj Pardon, I stand; to Your^-azwj bounty and Generosity I lift my gaze, and upon Your^-azwj Kindness, I keep my sight. So do not Burn me with the Fire when You^-azwj are the place of my hope, nor Cast me into the abyss, for indeed, You^-azwj are the delight of my eyes!

يَا سَيِّدِي لَا تُكَذِّبْ ظَنِّي بِإِحْسَانِكَ وَ مَعْرُوفِكَ فَإِنَّكَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي ثَوَابَكَ فَإِنَّكَ الْعَارِفُ بِفَقْرِي-

O my Chief! Do not Falsify my thoughts with Your^-azwj Favours and Your^-azwj Acts of Kindness, for You^-azwj are my Trust and my Hope, and do not Deprive me of Your^-azwj Rewards for You^‑azwj are Knower of my poverty!

إِلَهِي إِنْ كَانَ قَدْ دَنَا أَجَلِي وَ لَمْ يُقَرِّبْنِي مِنْكَ عَمَلِي فَقَدْ جَعَلْتُ الِاعْتِرَافَ إِلَيْكَ بِذَنْبِي وَسَائِلَ عِلَلِي

My God^-azwj! If my death has drawn me and my deeds have not drawn me closer to You^-azwj, for I have made the acknowledgment to You^-azwj with my sins as means of my approach!

إِلَهِي إِنْ عَفَوْتَ فَمَنْ أَوْلَى مِنْكَ بِالْعَفْوِ وَ إِنْ عَذَّبْتَنِي فَمَنْ أَعْدَلُ مِنْكَ فِي الْحُكْمِ

My God^-azwj! If You^-azwj were to Pardon, who would be foremost than You^-azwj with the Pardon, and if You^-azwj were to Punish me, then who would be the most just than You^-azwj in the Judging?

اللَّهُمَّ فَارْحَمْ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا وَحْدَتِي وَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ كُرْبَتِي وَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَحْدَتِي وَ فِي اللَّحْدِ وَحْشَتِي وَ إِذَا نُشِرْتُ لِلْحِسَابِ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ ذُلَّ مَوْقِفِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا خَفِيَ عَلَى الْآدَمِيِّينَ مِنْ عَمَلِي وَ أَدِمْ لِي مَا بِهِ سَتَرْتَنِي

O Allah^-azwj! Have Mercy on my solitude in this world, and my distress at the time of death. In the grave, may my loneliness be alleviated, and may my isolation in the tomb be eased. When I am Resurrected for Judgment before You^-azwj, I will be humiliated by my standing, Forgive me for what has remained hidden from humanity in my deeds. Preserve for me that which You^-azwj have Concealed.

وَ ارْحَمْنِي صَرِيعاً عَلَى الْفِرَاشِ تُقَلِّبُنِي أَيْدِي أَحِبَّتِي وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَيَّ مَمْدُوداً عَلَى الْمُغْتَسَلِ يُغَسِّلُنِي صَالِحُ جِيرَتِي وَ تَحَنَّنْ عَلَيَّ مَحْمُولًا قَدْ تَنَاوَلَ الْأَقْرِبَاءُ أَطْرَافَ جَنَازَتِي وَ جُدْ عَلَيَّ مَنْقُولًا قَدْ نَزَلْتُ بِكَ وَحِيداً فِي حُفْرَتِي وَ ارْحَمْ فِي ذَلِكَ الْبَيْتِ الْجَدِيدِ غُرْبَتِي حَتَّى لَا أَسْتَأْنِسَ بِغَيْرِكَ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ وَكَلْتَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي هَلَكْتُ

Have Mercy on me as I lie powerless on my bed, turned by the hands of my loved ones. Bestow Your^-azwj Favour upon me as I lie on the washing table, where my righteous neighbours wash me. Show compassion upon me as I am carried, with my relatives holding the corners of my funeral bier. Grant me Your^-azwj Kindness as I descend, alone, into my grave. Have Mercy on my solitude in that new abode, so that I may not find comfort in anyone but You^-azwj, for if You^-azwj Allocate me to myself, I will surely perish!

سَيِّدِي فَبِمَنْ أَسْتَغِيثُ إِنْ لَمْ تُقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ إِلَى مَنْ أَفْزَعُ إِنْ فَقَدْتُ عِنَايَتَكَ فِي ضَجْعَتِي وَ إِلَى مَنْ أَلْتَجِئُ إِنْ لَمْ تُنَفِّسْ كُرْبَتِي

My Chief! To whom shall I turn for help if You^-azwj do not Relieve me of my stumbling? To whom shall I flee if I lose Your^-azwj Care in my resting? And to whom shall I seek refuge if You^‑azwj do not Alleviate my distress?

سَيِّدِي مَنْ لِي وَ مَنْ يَرْحَمُنِي إِنْ لَمْ تَرْحَمْنِي وَ فَضْلَ مَنْ أُؤَمِّلُ إِنْ فَقَدْتُ غُفْرَانَكَ أَوْ عُدِمْتُ فَضْلَكَ يَوْمَ فَاقَتِي وَ إِلَى مَنِ الْفِرَارُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ إِذَا انْقَضَى أَجَلِي

My Chief! Who is there for me and who will have mercy on me if You^-azwj do not have Mercy on me? What Favour can I hope for if I lose Your^-azwj Forgiveness or am deprived of Your^-azwj Grace on the day of my need? To whom shall I flee from my sins when my term expires?

سَيِّدِي لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَرْجُوكَ إِلَهِي حَقِّقْ رَجَائِي وَ آمِنْ خَوْفِي فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ ذُنُوبِي لَا أَرْجُو لَهَا إِلَّا عَفْوَكَ

My Chief! Do not Punish me while I am hoping to You^-azwj! My God^-azwj! Make my hopes into reality and Secure my fear for my sins are numerous. I have no hope for these except Your^‑azwj Pardon!

سَيِّدِي أَنَا أَسْأَلُكَ مَا لَا أَسْتَحِقُّ وَ أَنْتَ‏ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى‏ وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ فَاغْفِرْ لِي وَ أَلْبِسْنِي مِنْ نَظَرِكَ ثَوْباً يُغَطِّي عَلَيَّ التَّبِعَاتِ وَ تَغْفِرُهَا لِي وَ لَا أُطَالَبُ بِهَا إِنَّكَ ذُو مَنٍّ قَدِيمٍ‏ وَ صَفْحٍ عَظِيمٍ وَ تَجَاوُزٍ كَرِيمٍ

I ask You^-azwj what I don’t deserve, and You^-azwj are rightful of being feared, and rightful of the Forgiving! Forgive for me and Clothe me from Your^-azwj Consideration a clothing covering upon me the misdeeds and Forgive these and I will not be held accountable for these! You^-azwj with the ancient Conferment and mighty Excusing, and benevolent Overlooking! 

My God^-azwj! You^-azwj are the One Who Pours Your^-azwj Blessings upon the one who did not ask You^-azwj and (even) upon the rejecters of Your^-azwj Lordship!

إِلَهِي أَنْتَ الَّذِي تُفِيضُ سَيْبَكَ عَلَى مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلْكَ وَ عَلَى الْجَاحِدِينَ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ

My God, You^-azwj are the One^-azwj who bestows His^-azwj blessings even upon those who do not ask You and upon those who deny Your lordship!

فَكَيْفَ سَيِّدِي بِمَنْ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَيْقَنَ أَنَّ الْخَلْقَ لَكَ وَ الْأَمْرَ إِلَيْكَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

My Chief! How would it be with the one who does ask You^-azwj and is convinced that the creation is for You^-azwj and the Command is up to You^-azwj! Blessed are You^-azwj and Exalted, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

سَيِّدِي عَبْدُكَ بِبَابِكَ أَقَامَتْهُ الْخَصَاصَةُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ يَقْرَعُ بَابَ إِحْسَانِكَ بِدُعَائِهِ وَ يَسْتَعْطِفُ جَمِيلَ نَظَرِكَ بِمَكْنُونِ رَجَائِهِ فَلَا تُعْرِضْ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ عَنِّي وَ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي مَا أَقُولُ فَقَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ أَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ لَا تَرُدَّنِي مَعْرِفَةً مِنِّي بِرَأْفَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ

My Chief! Your^-azwj servant is at Your^-azwj door! The utter destitution has made him stand at Your^-azwj door, knocking the door of Your^-azwj Favours with his supplication, and he seeks compassion of Your^-azwj beautiful Consideration with his hidden hopes, so do not Turn Your^‑azwj Benevolent Face away from me and Accept from me what I am saying, for I am supplicating to You^-azwj with this supplication and I am hoping that recognition from me of Your^-azwj Kindness and Your^-azwj Mercy will not return me!

إِلَهِي أَنْتَ الَّذِي لَا يُحْفِيكَ سَائِلٌ وَ لَا يَنْقُصُكَ نَائِلٌ أَنْتَ كَمَا تَقُولُ وَ فَوْقَ مَا يَقُولُ الْقَائِلُونَ

My God^-azwj! You^-azwj are the One^-azwj Whom a beggar does not tire Him^-azwj nor can a taken reduce You^-azwj. You^-azwj are just as You^-azwj have Said, and above what the speakers are saying!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ صَبْراً جَمِيلًا وَ فَرَجاً قَرِيباً وَ قَوْلًا صَادِقاً وَ أَجْراً عَظِيماً وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهُ وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for beautiful patience, and near-term happiness, and truthful word, and mighty Recompense, and I ask You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, from the good, all of it, what I know from it and what I don’t know!

أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَ أَجْوَدَ مَنْ أَعْطَى صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي فِي نَفْسِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَهْلِ حُزَانَتِي وَ إِخْوَانِي فِيكَ وَ أَرْغِدْ عَيْشِي وَ أَظْهِرْ مُرُوَّتِي وَ أَصْلِحْ جَمِيعَ أَحْوَالِي وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ أَطَلْتَ عُمُرَهُ وَ حَسَّنْتَ عَمَلَهُ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ نِعْمَتَكَ وَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ وَ أَحْيَيْتَهُ حَيَاةً طَيِّبَةً فِي أَدْوَمِ السُّرُورِ وَ أَسْبَغِ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ أَتَمِّ الْعَيْشِ إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ مَا تَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj from goodness what Your^-azwj righteous servants have asked for! O Best of the ones asked, and the most Generous of the one who give! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Grant me my request regarding myself, and my family, and my parents, and my children, and people grieving for me, and my brothers for Your^-azwj Sake, and Make my life comfortable, and Reveal my chivalry, and Rectify entirety of my situations, and Make me from the ones whose life is prolonged, and his deeds are excellent, and Your^-azwj bounties are completed upon him, and You^-azwj are Satisfied with him, and Caused him to live a good life in constant happiness, and plentiful honours, and most complete of the lives! Surely, You^‑azwj Do whatever You^-azwj Desire and do not Do what someone else desires!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ خُصَّنِي مِنْكَ بِخَاصَّةِ ذِكْرِكَ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ شَيْئاً مِمَّا أَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِ فِي آنَاءِ اللَّيْلِ وَ أَطْرَافِ النَّهَارِ رِئَاءً وَ لَا سُمْعَةً وَ لَا أَشَراً وَ لَا بَطَراً وَ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ مِنَ الْخَاشِعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj, and Specialise me from You^-azwj with Your^-azwj special Zikr and do not Make anything from what I draw closer with in hours of the night and ends of the day as showing off, nor for reputation, nor for pride, nor arrogance, and Make me from the ones humble to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَعْطِنِي السَّعَةَ فِي الرِّزْقِ وَ الْأَمْنَ فِي الْوَطَنِ وَ قُرَّةَ الْعَيْنِ فِي الْأَهْلِ وَ الْمَالِ وَ الْوَلَدِ وَ الْمُقَامَ فِي نِعَمِكَ عِنْدِي وَ الصِّحَّةَ فِي الْجِسْمِ وَ الْقُوَّةَ فِي الْبَدَنِ وَ السَّلَامَةَ فِي الدِّينِ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ طَاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ أَبَداً مَا اسْتَعْمَرْتَنِي

O Allah^-azwj, and Grant me the capaciousness in the sustenance, and the Security in the homeland, and delight of the eyes in the family and the wealth and the children, and the staying in Your^-azwj bounties with me, and the good health in the body, and the strength in the body, and the safety in the religion, and Utilise me in Your^-azwj obedience and obedience of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household! May Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Grant me life!

وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْفَرِ عِبَادِكَ عِنْدَكَ نَصِيباً فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ وَ أَنْتَ مُنْزِلُهُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ مَا أَنْتَ مُنْزِلُهُ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ تَنْشُرُهَا وَ عَافِيَةٍ تُلْبِسُهَا وَ بَلِيَّةٍ تَدْفَعُهَا وَ حَسَنَاتٍ تَتَقَبَّلُهَا وَ سَيِّئَاتٍ تَتَجَاوَزُ عَنْهَا

And Make me from Your^-azwj servants with most plentiful of share in every goodness You^-azwj Send down, and You^-azwj Send it down in a month of Ramazan during Laylat Al-Qadr, and what You^-azwj Send down during every year, from Mercy You^-azwj Sprinkle, and well-being You^-azwj Clothe, and affliction You^-azwj Repel, and good deeds You^-azwj Accept, and evil deeds You^-azwj Overlook from!

وَ ارْزُقْنِي رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً حَلَالًا طَيِّباً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ الطَّيِّبِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي يَا سَيِّدِيَ الْأَسْوَاءَ وَ اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَ الظُّلَامَاتِ‏ حَتَّى لَا أَتَأَذَّى بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ وَ خُذْ عَنِّي بِأَسْمَاعِ أَعْدَائِي وَ أَبْصَارِ حُسَّادِي وَ الْبَاغِينَ عَلَيَّ وَ انْصُرْنِي عَلَيْهِمْ وَ أَقِرَّ عَيْنِي وَ حَقِّقْ ظَنِّي وَ فَرِّجْ قَلْبِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ هَمِّي وَ كَرْبِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً

And Grace me vast sustenance, Permissible, goodly, from Your^-azwj capacious Grace, the good, and Turn away from me, O my Chief, the evils, and Pay off the debts on my behalf and grievances until I am not hurt by anything from it, and Seize on my behalf with hearing of my enemies, and sights of my enviers and the ones rebelling against me, and Help me against them, and Delight my eyes, and Make my thoughts a reality, and Relieve my heart, and Make for me from my worries and my stress a relief and an outlet!

وَ اجْعَلْ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيَّ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ شَرَّ السُّلْطَانِ وَ سَيِّئَاتِ عَمَلِي وَ طَهِّرْنِي مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ زَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ بِفَضْلِكَ وَ أَلْحِقْنِي بِأَوْلِيَائِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الْأَبْرَارِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الْأَخْيَارِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلَى أَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ أَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ

And Make the one from entirety of Your^-azwj creatures, the one who intends me with evil to be under my feet, and Suffice me of evil of the Satan^-la, and evil of the ruler, and my evil deeds, and Purify me from the sins, all of these, and Shelter me from the Hellfire by Your^-azwj Pardon, and Admit me into the Paradise by Your^-azwj Mercy, and get me married to the Maiden Houries by Your^-azwj Grace, and Join me with Your^-azwj righteous guardians, Muhammad^-saww and his^‑saww Progeny^-asws, the righteous, the goodly, the best! May Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^‑saww and upon them^-asws, and upon their souls, and their bodies, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!

إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ لَئِنْ طَالَبْتَنِي بِذُنُوبِي لَأُطَالِبَنَّكَ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ لَئِنْ طَالَبْتَنِي بِلُؤْمِي لَأُطَالِبَنَّكَ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ لَئِنْ أَدْخَلْتَنِي النَّارَ لَأُخْبِرَنَّ أَهْلَ النَّارِ بِحُبِّي إِيَّاكَ

My God^-azwj and my Chief! By Your^-azwj Mighty and Your Majesty! If You^-azwj were to Seek me for my sins, I shall seek You^-azwj for Your^-azwj Pardon, and if You^-azwj were to Seek me for my blame (blame-worthy acts), I will seek You^-azwj for Your^-azwj Generosity, and if Your^-azwj were to Enter me into the Hellfire I will inform inhabitants of the Hellfire of my love for You^-azwj!

إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَغْفِرُ إِلَّا لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ فَإِلَى مَنْ يَفْزَعُ الْمُذْنِبُونَ وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تُكْرِمُ إِلَّا أَهْلَ الْوَفَاءِ بِكَ فَبِمَنْ يَسْتَغِيثُ الْمُسِيئُونَ

My God^-azwj and my Chief! If You^-azwj don’t Forgive except for Your^-azwj friends and people obedient to You^-azwj, so to whom will the sinners panic to? And if You^-azwj do not Honour except the people loyal with You^-azwj, with whom with the evil doers cry out for help?

إِلَهِي إِنْ أَدْخَلْتَنِي النَّارَ فَفِي ذَلِكَ سُرُورُ عَدُوِّكَ وَ إِنْ أَدْخَلْتَنِي الْجَنَّةَ فَفِي ذَلِكَ سُرُورُ نَبِيِّكَ وَ أَنَا وَ اللَّهِ أَعْلَمُ أَنَّ سُرُورَ نَبِيِّكَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ سُرُورِ عَدُوِّكَ

My God^-azwj! If You^-azwj Enter me into the Hellfire, in that would be joy of Your^-azwj enemies, and if You^-azwj Enter me into the Paradise, in that would be joy of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, and I, by Allah^-azwj, know that joy of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww is more beloved to You^-azwj than joy of Your^-azwj enemies!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَمْلَأَ قَلْبِي حُبّاً لَكَ وَ خَشْيَةً مِنْكَ وَ تَصْدِيقاً لَكَ وَ إِيمَاناً بِكَ وَ فَرَقاً مِنْكَ وَ شَوْقاً إِلَيْكَ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ لِقَاءَكَ وَ أَحْبِبْ لِقَائِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي لِقَائِكَ الرَّاحَةَ وَ الْفَرَحَ وَ الْكَرَامَةَ

O Allah^-azwj!

O Allah^-azwj! Join me with righteous ones from the past, and Make me from righteous ones who remain, and Take with me in the way of the righteous ones, and Assist me upon myself with what You^-azwj had Assisted the righteous ones with upon themselves, and do not let me return into evil You^-azwj have Rescued me from, for every, and End my deed with its good, and Make my Reward upon it the Paradise by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً لَا أَجَلَ لَهُ دُونَ لِقَائِكَ تُحْيِينِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَوَفَّانِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَبْعَثُنِي إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَبْرِئْ قَلْبِي مِنَ الرِّيَاءِ وَ الشَّكِّ وَ السُّمْعَةِ فِي دِينِكَ حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَمَلِي خَالِصاً لَكَ

اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِنِي بَصِيرَةً فِي دِينِكَ وَ فَهْماً فِي حُكْمِكَ وَ فِقْهاً فِي عِلْمِكَ وَ كِفْلَيْنِ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ وَرَعاً يَحْجُزُنِي عَنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ بَيِّضْ وَجْهِي بِنُورِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ رَغْبَتِي فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ تَوَفَّنِي فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ عَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant me insight in Your^-azwj religion, and understanding regarding Your^-azwj Judgment, and jurisprudence regarding Your^-azwj Knowledge, and two portions from Your^-azwj Mercy, and devoutness cutting me off from disobeying You^-azwj, and Brighten my face with Your^-azwj Noor, and Make my desire regarding what is in Your^-azwj Presence, and Cause me to die in Your^-azwj Way and upon the nation (religion) of Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْفَشَلِ وَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحُزْنِ وَ الْجُبْنِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ وَ الْفَقْرِ وَ الْفَاقَةِ وَ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ الْفَوَاحِشِ‏ ما ظَهَرَ مِنْها وَ ما بَطَنَ‏

I am desirous to You^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَنْزَلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْعَفْوَ وَ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَعْفُوَ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَ قَدْ ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَاعْفُ عَنَّا فَإِنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنَّا وَ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ لَا نَرُدَّ سَائِلًا عَنْ أَبْوَابِنَا وَ قَدْ جِئْتُكَ سَائِلًا فَلَا تَرُدَّنَا إِلَّا بِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِنَا وَ أَمَرْتَنَا بِالْإِحْسَانِ إِلَى مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُنَا وَ نَحْنُ أَرِقَّاؤُكَ فَأَعْتِقْ رِقَابَنَا مِنَ النَّارِ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj have Revealed the Pardon in Your^-azwj Book, and Commanded us to pardon the ones who are unjust to us, and we have been unjust to ourselves. So, Pardon us, for You^-azwj are Foremost with that as Conferment, and You^-azwj Commanded us not to return a beggar from our doors, and I have come to You^-azwj as a beggar, so do not Return us except with having Fulfilled our needs, and You^-azwj Commanded us with being good to what our right hands possess, and we are Your^-azwj slaves therefore Liberate our necks from the Hellfire!

يَا مَفْزَعِي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي وَ يَا غِيَاثِي عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي إِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ وَ بِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ وَ لُذْتُ وَ لَا أَلُوذُ بِسِوَاكَ وَ لَا أَطْلُبُ الْفَرَجَ إِلَّا بِكَ وَ مِنْكَ

O my Shelter during my distress, and O my Helper during my adversity! I panic to You^-azwj and cry out for Help with You^-azwj, and I seek Refuge and do not refuge to others nor do I seek the relief except with You^-azwj, and from You^-azwj!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَغِثْنِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ الْيَسِيرَ وَ يَعْفُو عَنِ الْكَثِيرِ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي الْيَسِيرَ وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي الْكَثِيرَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Help me and Relieve me, O the One^-azwj Who Accepts the little and Pardons the lot! Accept the little from me and Pardon the lot from me, surely, You^-azwj are the Forgiver, the Merciful!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ يَقِيناً حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي وَ رَضِّنِي مِنَ الْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for Eman to embrace my heart with, and conviction until I know that it will not hit me except what You^-azwj have Written, and Make me satisfied from the life with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[3]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي السَّحَرِ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ الصِّيَامِ وَ رَوَاهُ أَيْضاً ابْنُ أَبِي قُرَّةَ فِي كِتَابِهِ‏ وَ اللَّفْظُ وَاحِدٌ فَقَالا مَعاً عَنْ أَيُّوبَ بْنِ يَقْطِينٍ‏ أَنَّهُ كَتَبَ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الرِّضَا ع يَسْأَلُهُ أَنْ يُصَحِّحَ لَهُ هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ

Another supplication during the pre-dawn, we are reporting by our chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi by his chain to Ali Bin Al-Hassan Bin Fazzal from ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, and it is reported as well by Ibn Abu Qurra in his book, and the wording is one. They both said from Ayoub Bin Yaqteen, he wrote to Abu Al-Hassan Al-Reza^-asws asking him^-asws to correct this supplication for him.

فَكَتَبَ إِلَيْهِ نَعَمْ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع بِالْأَسْحَارِ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

He^-asws wrote to him: ‘Yes, and it is a supplication of Abu Ja’far^-asws at the pre-dawn during a month of Ramazan’.

قَالَ أَبِي قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَوْ يَعْلَمُ النَّاسُ مِنْ عِظَمِ هَذِهِ الْمَسَائِلِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَ سُرْعَةِ إِجَابَتِهِ لِصَاحِبِهَا لَاقْتَتَلُوا عَلَيْهِ وَ لَوْ بِالسُّيُوفِ- وَ اللَّهُ يَخْتَصُّ بِرَحْمَتِهِ مَنْ يَشاءُ

He Particularises with His Mercy the one He so Desires to; and Allah is the Lord of Mighty Grace’ [3:74]’.

وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع لَوْ حَلَفْتُ لَبَرَرْتُ أَنَّ اسْمَ اللَّهِ الْأَعْظَمَ قَدْ دَخَلَ فِيهَا فَإِذَا دَعَوْتُهُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْ مَكْنُونِ الْعِلْمِ وَ اكْتُمُوهُ إِلَّا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ الْمُنَافِقُونَ وَ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ وَ الْجَاحِدُونَ وَ هُوَ دُعَاءُ الْمُبَاهَلَةِ تَقُولُ-

And Abu Ja’far^-asws said: ‘If I^-asws were to swear, I would be justified, that the most Magnificent Name of Allah^-azwj is included in it, so whenever you supplicate, then strive in the supplication for it is from the hidden knowledge, and conceal it except from its rightful ones, and they are from its rightful ones – the hypocrites, and the liars, and the rejecters, and it is a supplication of the imprecation.

Another supplication during the pre-dawn I am reporting by my chain to my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, in ‘Al-Misbah’. He said, ‘And you should supplicate also during the pre-dawn with a supplication of Idrees^-as, and I saw this supplication in a chain, it is due to which Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty Raised him^-as to Him^-azwj, and it is from best of the supplications, and it is: –

سُبْحَانَكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ وَارِثَهُ يَا إِلَهَ الْآلِهَةِ الرَّفِيعَ جَلَالُهُ يَا اللَّهُ الْمَحْمُودُ فِي كُلِّ فِعَالِهِ يَا رَحْمَانَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ رَاحِمَهُ يَا حَيُّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ فِي دَيْمُومَةِ مُلْكِهِ وَ بَقَائِهِ

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مُعْتَمَدِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ كُرْبَةٍ وَ غِيَاثِي عِنْدَ كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ بِهَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ أَمَاناً مِنْ عُقُوبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

I ask You^-azwj, O my reliance during every distress, and my Helper during every adversity, by these Names as safety from torments of the world and the Hereafter!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَ عَنِّي بِهِنَّ كُلَّ سُوءٍ وَ مَخُوفٍ وَ مَحْذُورٍ وَ تَصْرِفَ عَنِّي أَبْصَارَ الظَّلَمَةِ الْمُرِيدِينَ بِيَ السُّوءَ الَّذِي نَهَيْتَ عَنْهُ وَ أَنْ تَصْرِفَ قُلُوبَهُمْ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يُضْمِرُونَ إِلَى خَيْرِ مَا لَا يَمْلِكُونَ وَ لَا يَمْلِكُهُ غَيْرُكَ يَا كَرِيمُ

And I ask You^-azwj by these (Names) to Turn away from me every evil, and scare, and hazard, and Turn away from me sights of the oppressors, the ones intending me with evil which You^‑azwj have Prohibited from, and to Turn their hears from evil of what they are harbouring, to goodness of what they are not controlling nor can others control apart from You^-azwj, O Benevolent!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي فَأَعْجِزَ عَنْهَا وَ لَا إِلَى النَّاسِ فَيَرْفُضُونِي وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَرْجُوكَ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ أَنَا أَدْعُوكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Allocate me to myself so I would be frustrated from it, nor to the people so they would reject me, nor disappoint me while I am hoping to You^-azwj, nor Punishment me while I am supplicating to You^-azwj!

O Allah^-azwj! Detach my heart from all things not approaching to You^-azwj nor can I benefit with on the Day I meet You^-azwj, from Permissible or Prohibition, then Grant me strength upon it, and honour, and contentment, and disdain for it, and Your^-azwj Satisfaction in it, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى عَطَايَاكَ الْجَزِيلَةِ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مِنَنِكَ الْمُتَوَاتِرَةِ الَّتِي بِهَا دَافَعْتَ عَنِّي مَكَارِهَ الْأُمُورِ وَ بِهَا آتَيْتَنِي مَوَاهِبَ السُّرُورِ مَعَ تَمَادِيَّ فِي الْغَفْلَةِ وَ مَا بَقِيَ فِيَّ مِنَ الْقَسْوَةِ فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ فِعْلِي أَنْ عَفَوْتَ عَنِّي وَ سَتَرْتَ ذَلِكَ عَلَيَّ وَ سَوَّغْتَنِي مَا فِي يَدِي مِنْ نِعَمِكَ وَ تَابَعْتَ عَلَيَّ إِحْسَانَكَ وَ صَفَحْتَ بِي عَنْ قَبِيحِ مَا أَفْضَيْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ وَ انْتَهَكْتُهُ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise upon Your^-azwj plentiful awards, and for You^-azwj is the Praise upon Your^-azwj consecutive Conferment by which the abhorrent matters were repelled from me, and Gave me the joyful gifts along with my persistence in the heedlessness and what cruelty remains within me. That did not prevent me from my actions to Pardon me, and Covering that upon me, and Make plentiful what bounties there are in my hands, and Sealed Your^-azwj Favours upon me, and You^-azwj have Excused the ugliness what I had Revealed to You^‑azwj and violated from disobedience to You^-azwj!

وَ مَنْ أَرَادَنِي بِسُوءٍ فَخُذْ بِسَمْعِهِ وَ بَصَرِهِ وَ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ وَ امْنَعْهُ مِنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ

And one who intends me with evil, Seize his hearing and his sight, and from his front, and from behind him, and on his right, and on his left, and Prevent him from me by Your^-azwj Might and Your^-azwj Strength!

يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ مَعَهُ رَبٌّ يُدْعَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ فَوْقَهُ خَالِقٌ يُخْشَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ دُونَهُ إِلَهٌ يُتَّقَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ وَزِيرٌ يُؤْتَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ حَاجِبٌ يُرْشَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ لَهُ بَوَّابٌ يُنَادَى وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَزْدَادُ عَلَى كَثْرَةِ الْعَطَاءِ إِلَّا كَرَماً وَ جُوداً وَ عَلَى تَتَابُعِ الذُّنُوبِ إِلَّا مَغْفِرَةً وَ عَفْواً

O the One^-azwj not having a lord called upon with Him^-azwj, and O the One^-azwj there isn’t any creator above Him^-azwj to be feared, and O the One^-azwj there isn’t any god besides Him^-azwj to be feared, and O the One^-azwj there isn’t a minister for Him^-azwj to access, and O the One^-azwj there isn’t any guard for Him^-azwj, and O the One^-azwj there isn’t a doorman for him to call, and O the One^-azwj Who is not increased upon the abundant awards except in Benevolence and Generosity, and consecutive sins except Forgiveness and Pardon!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ‏ أَهْلُ التَّقْوى‏ وَ أَهْلُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Do with me what You^-azwj are rightful of and do not Do what I am rightful of, for You^-azwj are rightful of being feared, and rightful of the Forgiving!’’[6]

أقول: قد مضى في هذا الدعاء و لا تكلني إلى نفسي فأعجز عنها و ظاهر الحال أنه و لا تكلني إلى نفسي فتعجز عني و لكن هكذا وجدناه فيما رأيناه.

I say, ‘It has passed in this supplication, ‘Do not Allocate me to myself so I would be frustrated from it’, and apparently the situation is, ‘And do not Allocate me to myself so I would be unable of it’, but that is how we found it among what we reported’.

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي السَّحَرِ نُقِلَ مِنْ أَصْلٍ عَتِيقٍ مِنْ أُصُولِ أَصْحَابِنَا أَوَّلُ رِوَايَتِهِ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ وَ تَارِيخُ كِتَابَتِهِ سَنَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ سَبْعِينَ وَ ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ

Another supplication during the pre-dawn copied from an ancient original from originals of our companions first reported from Al-Hassan Bin Mahboub, and the date of his book is the year three hundred and three –

يَا مَفْزَعِي عِنْدَ كُرْبَتِي وَ يَا غَوْثِي عِنْدَ شِدَّتِي إِلَيْكَ فَزِعْتُ وَ بِكَ اسْتَغَثْتُ وَ بِكَ لُذْتُ- لَا أَلُوذُ بِسِوَاكَ وَ لَا أَطْلُبُ الْفَرَجَ إِلَّا مِنْكَ فَأَغِثْنِي وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي يَا مَنْ يَقْبَلُ الْيَسِيرَ وَ يَعْفُو عَنِ الْكَثِيرِ اقْبَلْ مِنِّي الْيَسِيرَ وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي الْكَثِيرَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ‏ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏

‘O my Shelter during my distress, and O my Helper during my adversity! To You^-azwj I have panicked, and with You^-azwj I have cried out for help, and with You^-azwj I have sheltered. I have not sheltered (to anyone) besides You^-azwj, nor have I sought the relief except from You^-azwj, so Help me and Relieve me, O the One^-azwj Who Accepts the little and Pardons a lot! Accept the little from me and Pardon the lot from me, surely You^-azwj are the Forgiving the Merciful!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ يَقِيناً حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي وَ رَضِّنِي مِنَ الْعَيْشِ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for Eman to embrace my heart with, and conviction until I know that it will never hit me except what You^-azwj have Written for me, and Make me to be satisfied from the life with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

يَا عُدَّتِي فِي كُرْبَتِي وَ يَا صَاحِبِي فِي شِدَّتِي وَ يَا وَلِيِّي فِي نِعْمَتِي وَ يَا غَايَتِي فِي رَغْبَتِي أَنْتَ السَّاتِرُ عَوْرَتِي وَ الْآمِنُ رَوْعَتِي وَ الْمُقِيلُ عَثْرَتِي فَاغْفِرْ لِي خَطِيئَتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O my Weapon during my distress, and O my Companion during my adversity, and O my Guardian regarding my bounties, and O my Helper in my desire! You^-azwj are the Concealer of my faults and the Securer of my dread, and the Uprooter of my stumbles, so Forgive my wrongdoings, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[7]

وَ قَالَ فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ التَّسْبِيحُ فِي السَّحَرِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يَعْلَمُ جَوَارِحَ الْقُلُوبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ يُحْصِي عَدَدَ الذُّنُوبِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا تَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرَضِينَ سُبْحَانَ الرَّبِّ الْوَدُودِ سُبْحَانَ الْفَرْدِ الْوَتْرِ سُبْحَانَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ

And he said in the mentioned book, the glorification (Tasbeeh) during the pre-dawn – ‘Glorious is the One Who Knows limbs (secrets) of the hearts! Glorious is the One Who counts the number of sins! Glorious is the One Who no hiding one is hidden from Him^-azwj in the skies and the earths! Glorious is the Lord^-azwj, the Affectionate! Glorious is the Individual, the Single! Glorious is the Magnificent, the most Magnificent!

سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَعْتَدِي عَلَى أَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يُؤَاخِذُ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ بِأَلْوَانِ الْعَذَابِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَنَّانِ الْمَنَّانِ سُبْحَانَ الرَّءُوفِ الرَّحِيمِ سُبْحَانَ الْجَبَّارِ الْجَوَادِ سُبْحَانَ الْكَرِيمِ الْحَلِيمِ سُبْحَانَ الْبَصِيرِ الْوَاسِعِ

Glorious is the One Who does not transgress upon people of His^-azwj Kingdom! Glorious is One Who does not Seize people of the earth with a variety of the Punishments! Glorious is the Affectionate, the Bestower! Glorious is the Kind, the Merciful! Glorious is the Subduer, the Generous! Glorious is the Benevolent, the Lenient! Glorious is the Seeing, the Capacious!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَلَى إِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَلَى إِدْبَارِ النَّهَارِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ عَلَى إِدْبَارِ اللَّيْلِ وَ إِقْبَالِ النَّهَارِ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَ الْمَجْدُ وَ الْعَظَمَةُ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ مَعَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ وَ كُلِّ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ وَ كُلِّ لَمْحَةٍ سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِهِ سُبْحَانَكَ مِلْ‏ءَ مَا أَحْصَى كِتَابُكَ سُبْحَانَكَ‏ زِنَةَ عَرْشِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ سُبْحَانَكَ‏.

Glorious is Allah^-azwj at coming of the day! Glorious is Allah^-azwj at turning back of the day! Glorious is Allah^-azwj at turning back of the night and coming of the day, and for Him^-azwj is the Praise, and the Glory, and the Magnificence, and the Greatness with every soul, and every blink of an eye, and every moment preceded in His^-azwj Knowledge! Glory be to You^-azwj filling what Your^-azwj Book counts! Glory be to You^-azwj weight of the Throne! Glory be to You^-azwj! Glory be to You^-azwj! Glory be to You^-azwj!’’[8]

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We are reporting by our chains to Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al-Kulayni, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, from the book ‘Al-Kafi’, and from the book of Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al-Nahdy by their chains to our Master Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon them both, that he^-asws used to supplicate with it, and our Master Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir^-asws was also supplicating with it every day of a month of Ramazan and in the reports there are additions and reduction, and this is the wording of one of these –

اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الصِّيَامِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الْقِيَامِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الْإِنَابَةِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ التَّوْبَةِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الْمَغْفِرَةِ وَ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ الْعِتْقِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ الْفَوْزِ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ هَذَا شَهْرٌ فِيهِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي هِيَ‏ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

باب 73 أدعية ليالي القدر و الإحياء في هذا الشهر و أعمالها زائدا على ما مر في بحث أبواب الصيام و في الأبواب الماضية و ما يناسب ذلك‏

CHAPTER 73 – SUPPLICATION OF LAYLAT AL-QADR AND THE VIGILS DURING THIS MONTH AND ITS ACTS OF WORSHIP, ADDITIONAL TO WHAT HAS PASSED IN DISCUSSION IN THE CHAPTERS ON FASTING, AND IN THE PAST CHAPTER AND WHAT IS APPROPRIATE TO THAT

أقول: قد أوردنا غسل هذه الليالي في كتاب الطهارة و بعض أعمالها و خاصة صلواتها في كتاب الصيام بل في كتاب الصلاة أيضا و سنذكر الزيارات المتعلقة بهذه الأيام و الليالي في كتاب المزار إن شاء الله تعالى.

I (Majlisi) am saying, ‘We have referred to the ritual bath of these nights in the book of cleanliness, and some of its acts of worship, and especially its Salawaat in the book of fasting, but in the book of Salat as well, and we shall mention the additional relating to these days and nights in the book of shrine, if Allah^-azwj the Exalted so Desires.

و اعلم أن ليالي القدر هي ليلة تسع عشرة و إحدى و عشرين و ليلة ثلاث و عشرين كما سبق.

And know that Laylat Al-Qadr, it is the night of the 19^th, and 21^st, and night of 23^rd, just as has preceded’.

1- يب، تهذيب الأحكام ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ وَ يَوْمُهَا مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهَا.

(The book) Tahzeeb Al Ahkaam – Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hisham Bin Al Hakam,

From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Laylat Al-Qadr is in every year, and its day is like its night’’.[16]

2- كف، المصباح للكفعمي ك، إكمال الدين‏ وَ ادْعُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ وَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ بِمَا رُوِيَ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِينَ ع أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَدْعُو بِهِ فِي لَيَالِي الْأَفْرَادِ قَائِماً وَ قَاعِداً وَ رَاكِعاً وَ سَاجِداً-

(The book) ‘Al Misbah’ of Al Kafami, (and) ‘Ikmal Al Deen’ –

‘And supplicate in this night, meaning night of the 23^rd, and night of the 19^th, and 21^st with what is reported from our Master Zayn Al-Abideen^-asws, he^-asws used to supplicate with it during the individual nights standing, and sitting, and bowing and prostrating: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ لَكَ عَبْداً دَاخِراً- لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا أَصْرِفُ لَهَا سُوءاً أَشْهَدُ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِضَعْفِ قُوَّتِي وَ قِلَّةِ حِيلَتِي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي وَ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ مَا آتَيْتَنِي فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ الضَّعِيفُ الْفَقِيرُ الْمَهِينُ

‘O Allah^-azwj! I have come to an evening as a humble servant of Yours^-azwj. I neither control benefit for myself nor harm, nor can I turn evil away from it! I testify with that upon myself and acknowledge to You^-azwj with my weak strength and my lack of means, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Fulfil for me what You^-azwj have Promised me and entirety of the believing men and the believing women of the Forgiveness during this night, and Complete upon me what You^-azwj have Given me, for I am Your^-azwj servant, the needy, the humble, the weak, the poor, the lowly!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي نَاسِياً لِذِكْرِكَ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِي وَ لَا لِإِحْسَانِكَ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ لَا آيِساً مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ وَ إِنْ أَبْطَأَتْ عَنِّي فِي سَرَّاءَ كُنْتُ أَوْ ضَرَّاءَ أَوْ فِي شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ بُؤْسٍ أَوْ نَعْمَاءَ إِنَّكَ‏ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ.

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make me neglectful of Your^-azwj Zikr regarding what You^-azwj have Bestowed me, nor of Your^-azwj Favours regarding what You^-azwj have Granted me, nor despairing Your^-azwj Answer and even if it is delayed from me, whether I was in happiness, or harm, or in adversity, or prosperity, or well-being, or affliction, or misery or bounties, You^-azwj are Hearer of the supplication!’’[17]

3 قل، إقبال الأعمال فيما نذكره من زيادات و دعوات في الليلة التاسعة عشر منه و يومها و فيه عدة زيادات منها الغسل المشار إليه مؤكدا فيها و منها الصلوات الزائدة و أدعيتها و منها استغفار مائة مرة و منها الرواية بنشر المصحف و دعائه و منها ما نختاره من عدة روايات بالدعوات و منها الدعاء المختص بيومها و منها الرواية بأن فضل يوم ليلة القدر مثل ليلته

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ –

‘Among what we mention from additions and supplication during the night of the 19^th of it, and its day, and in it are a number of additions. From these is the ritual bath indicated to emphasises in it, and from these are additional Salawaat’s and its supplications, and from these is seeking the Forgiveness one hundred times, and from these is the report of spreading the Parchment (Quran) and its supplication, and from these is what we have chosen from a number of reports with the supplications, and from these is the supplication specific with its day,  and from these is the report that the merit of the day of Laylat Al-Qadr is like its night’.

أقول و اعلم أن ليلة تسع عشرة أولى الثلاث الليالي الأفراد و هذه الليالي محل الزيادة في الاجتهاد و لعمري إن الأخبار واردة و آكدة في ليلة إحدى و عشرين منه أكثر من ليلة تسع عشرة و في ليلة ثلاث و عشرين منه أكثر من ليلة تسع عشرة و من ليلة إحدى و عشرين و قد قدمنا ما ذكره أبو جعفر الطوسي في التبيان عند تفسير إِنَّا أَنْزَلْناهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ أنها في مفردات العشر الأواخر بلا خلاف

I say, ‘And I know, that the night of the 19^th is the first of the three odd-numbered nights, and these nights are a time for increased devotion. Indeed, reports are present and emphasise the night of the 21^st even more than the 19^th night, and the night of the 23^rd even more than both the 19^th and the 21st. We have previously mentioned what Abu Ja’far al-Tusi noted in (the book) Al-Tibyan regarding Surah Al-Qadr, affirming that it (Laylat Al-Qadr) falls on one of the odd nights in the last ten days, without dispute.

و قال رحمه الله قال أصحابنا هي إحدى الليلتين إحدى و عشرين و ثلاث و عشرين و هو منقول عن الأئمة الطاهرين العارفين بأسرار رب العالمين و أسرار سيد المرسلين صلوات الله جل جلاله عليهم أجمعين

And he, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, said that our companions stated it is either the 21^st or the 23^rd night, as narrated from the pure Imams^-azwj, who are knowledgeable of the secrets of Lord^‑azwj of the worlds and the secrets of chief of the Messengers^-as, may the Salawaat of the Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty be upon them^-as all!

و قد قدمنا دعاء العشرين ركعة في أول ليلة منه أقول و نحن ذاكرون في هذه الليلة تسع عشرة دعاء الثمانين ركعة تمام المائة ركعة أنقله من خط أبي جعفر الطوسي رضوان الله عليه لتعمل عليه و ما كان لي إلى تقديم دعاء المائة ركعة قبل هذه الليلة سبب يحوج إليه فلذلك جعلناه في هذه الليلة

And we have forwarded a supplication of twenty units (Salat) in the first night of it. I am saying, ‘And we are mentioning in this night of 19^th a supplication of eighty Cycles (Salat) of complete one hundred nights, from the handwriting of Abu Ja’far Al Tusi, may the Pleasure of Allah^-azwj be upon him, to work upon, and there was no reason for any need for me to forward a supplication of the one hundred unit (Salat) before this night. For that reason, we have made it to be in this night.

وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّ هَذِهِ الْمِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ تُصَلَّى فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْمُفْرَدَاتِ كُلَّ رَكْعَةٍ بِالْحَمْدِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ.

And it has been reported that this one-hundred units of Salat is to be prayed during every night from the individuals, each unit being with Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Tawheed ten times.

و إن قويت على ذلك فاعمل عليه و اغتنم أيها العبد الميت الفاني ما يبلغ اجتهادك عليه فإن سم الفناء يسري إلى الأعضاء مذ خرجت إلى دار الفناء و آخره هجوم الممات و انقطاع الأعمال الصالحات و أن تصير من جملة القبور الدارسات المهجورات فبادر إلى السعادات الدائمات-

And if you have the strength for it, then act upon it and take advantage, O perishing, mortal servant, of whatever your efforts can attain. For indeed, the poison of mortality spreads through the limbs ever since you entered this world of decay, and its end is the arrival of death and the cessation of good deeds, and you will become one of the neglected, abandoned graves. So, hasten toward everlasting happiness.

فصل ما تقدم ذكره من العشرين ركعة و أدعيتها و سبح تسبيح الزهراء ع بين كل ركعتين من جميع الركعات ثم قم فصل الثمانين ركعة الباقيات تصلي ركعتين و تقول‏

A section what is mention has preceded from the twenty units and their supplication, and seven glorifications (Tasbeeh) of Al Zahra^-asws between each two units from entirety of the units. Then stand and pray the eighty remaining units, praying two units and say –

يَا حَسَنَ الْبَلَاءِ عِنْدِي يَا قَدِيمَ الْعَفْوِ عَنِّي يَا مَنْ لَا غَنَاءَ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ عَنْهُ يَا مَنْ لَا بُدَّ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْهُ يَا مَنْ مَرَدُّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَيْهِ يَا مَنْ مَصِيرُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ إِلَيْهِ تَوَلَّنِي سَيِّدِي وَ لَا تُوَلِّ أَمْرِي شِرَارَ خَلْقِكَ أَنْتَ خَالِقِي وَ رَازِقِي يَا مَوْلَايَ فَلَا تُضَيِّعْنِي.

‘O Excellent of the Trials with me, O ancient of the Pardoning me, O the One^-azwj nothing is needless of, O the One^-azwj there is no escape for anything from Him^-azwj, O the One^-azwj all things return to, O the One^-azwj all things are destined to! Take charge of me my Chief and do not let evil ones of Your^-azwj creatures take charge of me! You^-azwj are my Creator and my Provider, O my Master, so do not Let me be wasted!’

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول‏

Then pray two units Salat and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْفَرِ عِبَادِكَ نَصِيباً مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ أَوْ أَنْتَ مُنْزِلُهُ مِنْ نُورٍ تَهْدِي بِهِ أَوْ رَحْمَةٍ تَنْشُرُهَا وَ مِنْ رِزْقٍ تَبْسُطُهُ وَ مِنْ ضُرٍّ تَكْشِفُهُ وَ مِنْ بَلَاءٍ تَرْفَعُهُ وَ مِنْ سُوءٍ تَدْفَعُهُ وَ مِنْ فِتْنَةٍ تَصْرِفُهَا

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make me from Your^-azwj servants of the most plentiful of shares from every goodness You^-azwj Send down during this night, or You^-azwj Send down from the light of guidance, or Mercy You^‑azwj Spread, and sustenance You^-azwj Extend, and from harm You^-azwj Remove, and from afflictions You^-azwj Raise, and from evil You^-azwj Repel, and from Fitna You^-azwj Turn away!

وَ اكْتُبْ لِي مَا كَتَبْتَ لِأَوْلِيَائِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَوْجَبُوا مِنْكَ الثَّوَابَ وَ أَمِنُوا بِرِضَاكَ عَنْهُمْ مِنْكَ الْعَذَابَ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ بَارِكْ لِي فِي كَسْبِي وَ قَنِّعْنِي بِمَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ لَا تَفْتِنِّي بِمَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي.

And Write for me what You^-azwj have Written for Your^-azwj righteous friends, those who obligate the Rewards from You^-azwj, and they are safe from the Punishment from You^-azwj due to You^-azwj being Pleased with them! O Benevolent, O Benevolent, O Benevolent! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Hasten their^-asws relief, and Forgive my sins for me, and Bless for me in my earnings, and Make me to be contented with what You^-azwj have Provided me, and do not Try me with what You^-azwj have Impeded (Withheld) from me!’

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول-

Then pray two units Salat and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ نَصَبْتُ يَدِي وَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ عَظُمَتْ رَغْبَتِي فَاقْبَلْ سَيِّدِي تَوْبَتِي وَ ارْحَمْ ضَعْفِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ اجْعَلْ لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ نَصِيباً وَ إِلَى كُلِّ خَيْرٍ سَبِيلًا

‘O Allah^-azwj! To You^-azwj I have installed my hands and my desire is regarding what is with You^‑azwj! Accept my repentance my Chief, and Mercy my weakness, and Forgive for me, and Mercy me, and Make for a share in every goodness and a way to every goodness!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْكِبْرِ وَ مَوَاقِفِ الْخِزْيِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the arrogance and the places of disgrace in the world and the Hereafter!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ اعْصِمْنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي وَ ارْدُدْ عَلَيَّ أَسْبَابَ طَاعَتِكَ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي بِهَا وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي أَسْبَابَ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ حُلْ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَهَا وَ اجْعَلْنِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ مَالِي فِي وَدَائِعِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَضِيعُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me what have passed from my sins, and Protect me in what remains from my life, and Return to me causes of obeying You^-azwj, and Utilise me with it and Turn away from me causes of disobediences to You^-azwj, and Be a Barrier between me and it, and Make me and my family and my children and my wealth in Your^-azwj Entrustment which is never wasted!

وَ اعْصِمْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ فَسَقَةِ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ ذِي شَرٍّ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ ضَعِيفٍ أَوْ شَدِيدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا- إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

And Protect me from the Hellfire, and Turn away from me evil of the mischievous Jinn and humans, and evil of every one with evil, and evil of every weak or strong from Your^-azwj creatures, and evil of every animal You^-azwj Seize with its forelock, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول-

Then pray two units Salat and say: –

اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ مُتَعَالِي الشَّأْنِ عَظِيمُ الْجَبَرُوتِ شَدِيدُ الْمِحَالِ عَظِيمُ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ قَادِرٌ قَاهِرٌ قَرِيبُ الرَّحْمَةِ صَادِقُ الْوَعْدِ وَفِيُّ الْعَهْدِ قَرِيبٌ مُجِيبٌ سَامِعُ الدُّعَاءِ قَابِلُ التَّوْبَةِ مُحْصٍ لِمَا خَلَقْتَ قَادِرٌ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ مُدْرِكٌ مَنْ طَلَبْتَ رَازِقٌ مَنْ خَلَقْتَ شَكُورٌ إِنْ شُكِرْتَ ذَاكِرٌ إِنْ ذُكِرْتَ

فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي مُحْتَاجاً وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فَقِيراً وَ أَتَضَرَّعُ إِلَيْكَ خَائِفاً وَ أَبْكِي إِلَيْكَ مَكْرُوباً وَ أَرْجُوكَ نَاصِراً وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ ضَعِيفاً وَ أَتَوَكَّلُ عَلَيْكَ مُحْتَسِباً وَ أَسْتَرْزِقُكَ مُتَوَسِّعاً

I ask You^-azwj, O my God^-azwj, am needy, and I am desirous to you^-azwj as poor, and I beseech to you^-azwj fearfully, and I cry to You^-azwj as distressed, and I hope to You^-azwj for Help, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness being weak, and I rely upon You^-azwj in anticipation, and I seek Your^-azwj capacious sustenance!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي وَ تَتَقَبَّلَ عَمَلِي وَ تُيَسِّرَ مُنْقَلَبِي وَ تُفَرِّجَ قَلْبِي

And I ask You^-azwj, O my God^-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Forgive my sins for me, and Accept my deeds and Facilitate my transfer and Relieve my heart!

My God^-azwj! I have weakened so there is no strength for me, and I have become incapable so there is no might for me!

إِلَهِي جِئْتُكَ مُسْرِفاً عَلَى نَفْسِي مُقِرّاً بِسُوءِ عَمَلِي قَدْ ذَكَرْتُ غَفْلَتِي وَ أَشْفَقْتُ مِمَّا كَانَ مِنِّي فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْضَ عَنِّي وَ اقْضِ لِي جَمِيعَ حَوَائِجِي مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

I have mentioned my neglect and I am fearful from what has happened from me, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and be Pleased with me, and Fulfil for me entirety of my needs from needs of the world and the Hereafter, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول-

Then you should pray two units Salat as say: –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنَ الضُّرِّ فِي الْمَعِيشَةِ وَ أَنْ تَبْتَلِيَنِي بِبَلَاءٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ أَوْ تُسَلِّطَ عَلَيَّ طَاغِياً أَوْ تَهْتِكَ لِي سِتْراً أَوْ تُبْدِيَ لِي عَوْرَةً أَوْ تُحَاسِبَنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُقَاصّاً أَحْوَجَ مَا أَكُونُ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ تَجَاوُزِكَ عَنِّي

‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for the well-being from fatigue of the affliction, and gloating by the enemies, and the evil Decree, and becoming wretched, and from the harm in the life, and from Your^-azwj Trying me with affliction there is no endurance for me with it, or a tyrant prevailing upon me, or violation of a veil of mine, or a defect of mine being revealed, or Your^‑azwj Reckoning me on the Qiyamah in Retaliation when I will be as needy as can be to Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Your^-azwj Overlooking from me!

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Benevolent Face to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make me from Your^-azwj Liberated ones and Freed ones from the Hellfire!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ سُكَّانِهَا وَ عُمَّارِهَا

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Enter me into the Paradise and Make me from its dwellers and its inhabitants!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَفَعَاتِ النَّارِ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from scorching heat of the Hellfire!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْحَجَّ وَ الْعُمْرَةَ وَ الصِّيَامَ وَ الصَّدَقَةَ لِوَجْهِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Grace me the Hajj and the Umrah, and the Fasting, and the charity for Your^-azwj Face!’

ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ يَا سَامِعَ كُلِّ صَوْتٍ وَ يَا بَارِئَ النُّفُوسِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَغْشَاهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا تَتَشَابَهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ شَيْ‏ءٌ عَنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَعْطِ مُحَمَّداً أَفْضَلَ مَا سَأَلْتُهُ وَ سَأَلَكَ وَ أَفْضَلَ مَا سُئِلْتَ لَهُ أَفْضَلَ مَا أَنْتَ مَسْئُولٌ لَهُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ وَ طُلَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ

The sheykh said, by his chain from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘There is none from a Momin asking Allah^-azwj by these, his heart facing by these to Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic, except Mighty and Majestic will Fulfil his need for him, and even if he was wretched, it is hoped that he would be transferred to be fortunate!’’[19]

و رأيت في روايتين من غير أدعية شهر رمضان هذا الدعاء و فيه ما لك الخير و الشر و ليس فيه خالق الخير و الشر

اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ الْبَلَدِ الْحَرَامِ وَ رَبَّ الرُّكْنِ وَ الْمَقَامِ وَ رَبَّ الْمَشْعَرِ الْحَرَامِ وَ رَبَّ الْحِلِّ وَ الْحَرَامِ بَلِّغْ رُوحَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَنَّا السَّلَامَ

O Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the sacred city, and Lord^-azwj of the (Yemeni) Corner and the Standing Place (of Ibrahim^-as, and Lord^-azwj of the sacred Monuments, and Lord^-azwj of the de-consecration and consecration, Lord of the Sacred Monument! Deliver to the soul of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, the greetings from us!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِ‏ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ رُسُلِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ صَلِّ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَى الْحَفَظَةِ الْكِرَامِ الْكَاتِبِينَ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ طَاعَتِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ أَهْلِ الْأَرَضِينَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity and upon Your^-azwj Prophets^-as, the Messengers^-as, and Your^-azwj Rasool(s) altogether, and O Allah^-azwj, Send Salawaat upon the preservers, the two honourable recorders, and upon people obedient to You^-azwj, and inhabitants of the seven skies and inhabitants of the earths, from the believers altogether!’

فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ سَجَدْتَ وَ قُلْتَ اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْتُ وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ عَلَيْكَ تَوَكَّلْتُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي وَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي اللَّهُمَّ فَاكْفِنِي مَا أَهَمَّنِي وَ مَا لَا يُهِمُّنِي وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ

When you are free from the supplication, do Sajdah and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have diverted to You^-azwj and am adhering with You^-azwj and have relied upon You^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are my Trust, and You^-azwj are my Hope! O Allah^-azwj! Suffice me of what worries me and what does not worry me, and what You^-azwj are more Knowing with than me! Mighty is Your^-azwj Shelter, and Majestic is Your^-azwj Laudation, and there is no god apart from You^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Hasten their^-asws relief!’

ثُمَّ ارْفَعْ رَأْسَكَ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ زَحْزَحَ بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَكَ أَوْ صَرَفَ بِهِ عَنِّي وَجْهَكَ الْكَرِيمَ أَوْ نَقَصَ بِهِ مِنْ حَظِّي عِنْدَكَ

Then raise your head and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj all things wavering between me and You^-azwj, or by it Your^-azwj Honourable Face is Turned away from me, or by it my share in Your^-azwj Presence would be reduced!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ يُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَيْكَ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتِي عِنْدَكَ وَ أَعْظِمْ حَظِّي وَ أَحْسِنْ مَثْوَايَ وَ ثَبِّتْنِي‏ بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَياةِ الدُّنْيا وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ مَقَامٍ مَحْمُودٍ تُحِبُّ أَنْ تُدْعَى فِيهِ بِأَسْمَائِكَ وَ تُسْأَلَ فِيهِ مِنْ عَطَائِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Harmonise me to all things Pleasing You^-azwj with me, and drawing me closer to You^-azwj, and Raising my rank in Your^-azwj Presence, and enlarging my share, and improving my abode, and affirming me with the firm word in life of the world and in the Hereafter, and Harmonise me to every goodness and praiseworthy position You^-azwj Loved to be called in with Your^-azwj Names, and to be asked in it from Your^-azwj awards!

رَبِّ لَا تَكْشِفْ عَنِّي سِتْرَكَ وَ لَا تُبْدِ عَوْرَتِي لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ اسْمِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ فِي السُّعَدَاءِ حَتَّى تُتِمَّ الدُّعَاءَ-

Lord^-azwj! Do not Remove Your^-azwj Veil from me nor Reveal my defects to the worlds, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make my name in this night to be among the fortunate ones!’ – until you complete the supplication.

تمامه هكذا:« و روحى مع الشهداء، و احسانى في عليين، و إساءتي مغفورة و أن تهب لي يقينا تباشر به قلبى، و ايمانا يذهب الشك عنى، و ترضينى بما قسمت لي، و آتنى في الدنيا حسنة و في الآخرة حسنة و قني عذاب النار، و ارزقني فيها ذكرك و شكرك و الرغبة إليك و التوبة و الانابة و التوفيق لما وفقت له محمّدا و آل محمّد صلواتك عليه و عليهم و السلام عليه و عليهم و رحمة اللّه و بركاته» و قد مر في مواضع كثيرة.

It’s completion is like this – ‘And my soul to be 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 doubts from me, and Make me to be satisfied with whatever You^-azwj have Apportion for me, and Give me goodness in the world and goodness in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Hellfire, and Provide me in it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thanking You^-azwj, and the desiring to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the patience, and the inclination to what You^-azwj had Harmonised Muhammad^-azwj and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww to, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, and the Greetings be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’ – And it has passed in many places.

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كَرْبٍ وَ أَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ شَدِيدَةٍ وَ أَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِي ثِقَةٌ وَ عُدَّةٌ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are my Trust in every distress, and You^-azwj are for me in every adversity, and You^-azwj are for me in every matter, Trust and a Weapon!

كَمْ مِنْ كَرْبٍ يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ الْفُؤَادُ وَ تَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ وَ يَخْذُلُ عَنْهُ الْقَرِيبُ وَ يَشْمَتُ بِهِ الْعَدُوُّ وَ تُعْيِينِي فِيهِ الْأُمُورُ أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ وَ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ رَاغِباً إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَ كَشَفْتَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَنِيهِ فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ صَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلًا.

How many distresses the heart was weakened from, and the means were scarce in it, and the relatives had abandoned from, and the enemy had gloated with, and I have brought them down to You^-azwj and complained about them to You^-azwj, desiring (a solution out of) them from You^-azwj rather than from anyone other than You^-azwj, so You^-azwj Relieved it and removed it! You^-azwj are my Guardian of every bounty, and Companion of every need, and Ultimate of every desire to You^-azwj! For You^‑azwj are the abundant greetings, and for You^-azwj is the Gracious Conferment!’’[24]

رَوَى هَذَا الدُّعَاءَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَفْصِ بْنِ الْبَخْتَرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ مِنْ دُعَاءِ النَّبِيِّ ص يَوْمَ الْأَحْزَابِ- اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي إِلَى تَمَامِ الدُّعَاءِ.

This supplication has been reported by Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Hafs Bin Al-Bakhtari, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘It was from supplications of the Prophet^-saww on the day of (the battle of) Al-Ahzaab: ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj are my Trust’ – up to the complete supplication.

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا مَنْ أَظْهَرَ الْجَمِيلَ وَ سَتَرَ الْقَبِيحَ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَهْتِكِ السِّتْرَ وَ لَمْ يُؤَاخِذْ بِالْجَرِيرَةِ يَا عَظِيمَ الْعَفْوِ يَا حَسَنَ التَّجَاوُزِ يَا وَاسِعَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ يَا صَاحِبَ كُلِّ نَجْوَى وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ شَكْوَى يَا مُقِيلَ الْعَثَرَاتِ يَا كَرِيمَ الصَّفْحِ يَا عَظِيمَ الْمَنِّ يَا مُبْتَدِئاً بِالنِّعَمِ قَبْلَ اسْتِحْقَاقِهَا يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدَاهْ يَا أَمَلَاهْ يَا غَايَةَ رَغْبَتِي

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O One Who Reveals the beautiful and Conceals the ugly! O One Who does not Tear down the veil and do not Seize for the crimes! O Mighty of the Pardon! O Excellent of the Overlooking! O Capacious of the Forgiveness! O Extender of the hands with the Merciful! O Companion of every whisper and Ultimate of every complaint! O Uprooter of the stumbles! O Benevolent of the Excusing! O Mighty of the Conferment! O Initiator of the bounties before it is deserved! O Lord^-azwj! O Chief! O my Hope! O Peak of my desires!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِكَ يَا اللَّهُ أَنْ لَا تُشَوِّهَ خَلْقِي بِالنَّارِ وَ أَنْ تَقْضِيَ لِي حَوَائِجَ آخِرَتِي وَ دُنْيَايَ وَ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تَدْعُو بِمَا بَدَا لَكَ

I ask You^-azwj by You^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! Do not Grill my skin with the Hellfire and Fulfil for me needs of my Hereafter and my world, and Do such and such with me, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!’ – and supplicate with whatever comes to you.

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ خَلَقْتَنِي فَأَمَرْتَنِي وَ نَهَيْتَنِي وَ رَغَّبْتَنِي فِي ثَوَابِ مَا بِهِ أَمَرْتَنِي وَ رَهَّبْتَنِي عِقَابَ مَا عَنْهُ نَهَيْتَنِي وَ جَعَلْتَ لِي عَدُوّاً يَكِيدُنِي وَ سَلَّطْتَهُ مِنِّي عَلَى مَا لَمْ تُسَلِّطْنِي عَلَيْهِ مِنْهُ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Created me so You^-azwj Commanded me, and You^-azwj Prohibited me and Incited me regarding Rewards of what You^-azwj had Commanded me with, and Frightened me of Punishment of what You^-azwj had Prohibited me from, and Made for me enemy plotting against me and Giving him power over me in ways that You^-azwj did not Grant me power over him!

فَأَسْكَنْتَهُ صَدْرِي وَ أَجْرَيْتَهُ مَجْرَى الدَّمِ مِنِّي لَا يَغْفُلُ إِنْ غَفَلْتُ وَ لَا يَنْسَى إِنْ نَسِيتُ يُؤْمِنُنِي عَذَابَكَ وَ يُخَوِّفُنِي بِغَيْرِكَ إِنْ هَمَمْتُ بِفَاحِشَةٍ شَجَّعَنِي وَ إِنْ هَمَمْتُ بِصَالِحٍ ثَبَّطَنِي وَ يَنْصِبُ لِي بِالشَّهَوَاتِ وَ يَعْرِضُ لِي بِهَا إِنْ وَعَدَنِي كَذَبَنِي وَ إِنْ مَنَّانِي قَنَّطَنِي وَ إِنِ اتَّبَعْتُ هَوَاهُ أَضَلَّنِي وَ إِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ يَسْتَزِلَّنِي وَ إِنْ لَا تُفْلِتْنِي مِنْ حَبَائِلِهِ يَصُدَّنِي وَ إِلَّا تَعْصِمْنِي مِنْهُ يَفْتِنِّي

So, You^-azwj Allowed him (Iblees^-la) to dwell in my chest and to flow like blood within me. He^-la does not forget if I become heedless, nor does he^-la neglect (me) if I forget. He^-la makes me feel safe from Your^-azwj Punishment and fills me with fear of others. If I intend to commit a sin, he^-la encourages me, and if I intend a righteous act, he^-la discourages me. He^-la tempts me with desires and presents them to me. If he^-la promises me, he^-la lies, if he^-la gives me false hopes, he^-la leads me to despair. If I follow his^-la inclinations, he^-la misguides me, and if You^-azwj do not Turn his^-la schemes away from me, he^-la will cause me to slip. If You^-azwj do not Release me from his^-la traps, he^-la will block my path, and if You^-azwj do not protect me from him^-la, he^-la will lead me astray!

اللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْهَرْ سُلْطَانَهُ عَنِّي بِسُلْطَانِكَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى تَحْبِسَهُ عَنِّي بِكَثْرَةِ الدُّعَاءِ لَكَ مِنِّي فَأَفُوزَ فِي الْمَعْصُومِينَ مِنْهُ بِكَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Subdue his^-la authority from me with Your^-azwj Authority upon him^-la until You^-azwj Withhold him^-la from me with the frequent supplications to You^-azwj from me, so I would succeed among the ones protected from him^-la with You^-azwj, and there is neither might nor strength except with You^-azwj!’’[25]

روي هذا الدعاء و الذي قبله عن أبي عبد الله ع ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول. مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ يَا أَجْوَدَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَ يَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ مَنِ اسْتُرْحِمَ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ- وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لَا وَلَداً

O the One^-azwj Who did not Take a female companion nor a son!

يَا مَنْ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ يَحْكُمُ مَا يُرِيدُ وَ يَقْضِي مَا أَحَبَّ يَا مَنْ‏ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَ قَلْبِهِ‏ يَا مَنْ هُوَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْأَعْلَى يَا مَنْ‏ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ يَا سَمِيعُ يَا بَصِيرُ

O the One^-azwj Who Does whatever He^-azwj Desires to, and Judges whatever He^-azwj Wants, and Decrees whatever He^-azwj Loves to! O the One^-azwj Intervening between the person and his heart! O the One^-azwj Who is with the Exalted scenario! O the One^-azwj there isn’t anything like Him^-azwj! O Hearing! O Seeing!

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ الْحَلَالِ مَا أَكُفُّ بِهِ وَجْهِي وَ أُؤَدِّي بِهِ عَنْ أَمَانَتِي وَ أَصِلُ بِهِ رَحِمِي وَ يَكُونُ عَوْناً لِي عَلَى الْحَجِّ وَ الْعُمْرَةِ ثم تصلي ركعتين.

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Expand upon me from Your^-azwj Permissible sustenance what I can hold my face with and pay back my entrustments with, and I can connect my kinship with, and it would be an assistance for me upon the Hajj and the Umrah!’ – then pray two units Salat’.[26]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فِي الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فِي الْمَلَإِ الْأَعْلَى وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ فِي النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

And you should say what is reported from Al-Reza^-asws: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws among the former ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws among the latter ones, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws among the exalted assembly, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws among the Prophets^-as and the Messengers^-as!

O Allah^-azwj! I believe in Muhammad^-saww and I have not seen him^-saww, so do not Deprive me on the Day of Qiyamah of sighting him^-saww, and Grace me his^-saww accompaniment, and Cause me to die upon his^-saww nation (religion), and Quench me from his^-saww Fountain a saturating drink I will not become thirsty after it, ever! You^-azwj are Able upon all things!

اللَّهُمَّ كَمَا آمَنْتُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ لَمْ أَرَهُ فَعَرِّفْنِي فِي الْجِنَانِ وَجْهَهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Just as I have believed in Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat upon him^-saww and I have not seen him^-saww, so Introduce me to his^-saww face in the Gardens!

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ‏ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنَ الضَّرَرِ فِي الْمَعِيشَةِ وَ أَنْ تَبْتَلِيَنِي بِبَلَاءٍ لَا طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ أَوْ تُسَلِّطَ عَلَيَّ طَاغِياً أَوْ تَهْتِكَ لِي سِتْراً أَوْ تُبْدِيَ لِي عَوْرَةً أَوْ تُحَاسِبَنِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُنَاقِشاً أَحْوَجَ مَا أَكُونُ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ تَجَاوُزِكَ عَنِّي فِيمَا سَلَفَ

And you should say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for the well-being from the fatigue of affliction, and gloating by the enemies, and the evil Decree, and coming across the misery, and from the harm in the life, and Your^-azwj Trying me with affliction there is no endurance for me with it, or Your^-azwj Letting a tyrant prevail upon me, or Violating a veil of mine, or Revealing a defect of mine, or Your^-azwj Reckoning me on the Day of Qiyamah with scrutiny when I will be as needy as I could be to Your^-azwj Pardon, and Your^‑azwj Overlooking from me regarding what has passed!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ وَ طُلَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ-

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Benevolent Name and Your^-azwj complete Words, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make me from Your^-azwj liberated ones and Your^-azwj freed ones from the Hellfire!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ يَا اللَّهُ لَيْسَ يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ إِلَّا حِلْمُكَ وَ لَا يُنْجِي مِنْ عَذَابِكَ إِلَّا التَّضَرُّعُ إِلَيْكَ

Then you should pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Nothing returns Your^-azwj Wrath except Your^-azwj Leniency, nor can anything save from Your^-azwj Punishment except the beseeching to You^-azwj!

فَهَبْ لِي يَا إِلَهِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مَنْ سِوَاكَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي تُحْيِي بِهَا مَيْتَ الْبِلَادِ وَ بِهَا تَنْشُرُ مَيْتَ الْعِبَادِ وَ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي غَمّاً حَتَّى تَغْفِرَ لِي وَ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تُعَرِّفَنِي الِاسْتِجَابَةَ فِي دُعَائِي وَ أَذِقْنِي طَعْمَ الْعَافِيَةِ إِلَى مُنْتَهَى أَجَلِي وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي وَ لَا تُمْكِنْهُ مِنْ رَقَبَتِي

O my God^-azwj! Gift to me Mercy from Yourself^-azwj Making me needless by it from the mercy of the ones besides You^-azwj by the Power by which You^-azwj Revive the dead (barren) land, and by it You^-azwj will Resurrect the dead servants, and do not Destroy me by sadness until You^-azwj Forgive for me and Mercy me, and Introduce me the Answer to my supplication, and Make me taste the well-being up to end of my term, and do not let my enemy to gloat with me, and do not Enable him on my neck!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ وَضَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَرْفَعُنِي وَ إِنْ رَفَعْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَضَعُنِي وَ إِنْ أَهْلَكْتَنِي فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَحُولُ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنِي أَوْ يَتَعَرَّضُ لَكَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْ أَمْرِي

O Allah^-azwj! If You^-azwj were to Drop me, then who is the one who can raise me, and if You^-azwj were to 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 be a barrier between You^-azwj and me or contradict to You^-azwj regarding anything from my matters?

فَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا إِلَهِي أَنْ لَيْسَ فِي حُكْمِكَ ظُلْمٌ وَ لَا فِي نَقِمَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ إِنَّمَا يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخَافُ الْفَوْتَ وَ إِنَّمَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيفُ وَ قَدْ تَعَالَيْتَ يَا إِلَهِي عَنْ ذَلِكَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً

I do know, O my God^-azwj that there isn’t any injustice in Your^-azwj Judgment nor is there any haste in Your^-azwj Vengeance! But rather, hasty is the one who fears the loss of opportunity, and rather the weak one is in need to the injustice, and O my God^-azwj, You^-azwj are Exalted from that, Lofty, Great!

فَلَا تَجْعَلْنِي لِلْبَلَاءِ غَرَضاً وَ لَا لِنَقِمَتِكَ نَصَباً وَ مَهِّلْنِي وَ نَفِّسْنِي وَ أَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ لَا تُتْبِعْنِي بِبَلَاءٍ عَلَى أَثَرِ بَلَاءٍ فَقَدْ تَرَى ضَعْفِي وَ قِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ اللَّهُمَّ فَأَجِرْنِي وَ أَسْتَعِيذُ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَأَعِذْنِي وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَلَا تَحْرِمْنِي ثم تصلي ركعتين-.

(Please) Do not Make me a target for the afflictions nor share for Your^-azwj Vengeance, and Respite me and Relieve me, and Uproot my stumbles, and do not Seek me with an affliction upon the tracks of an affliction, so You^-azwj can See my weakness and my lack of means! I seek Shelter with You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, so Shelter me, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the Hellfire, so Refuge me, and I ask You^-azwj for the Paradise, so do not Deprive me!’ – then pray two units Salat’’.[29]

و تقول بعدهما مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ لَا أَعْبُدُ إِلَّا إِيَّاكَ وَ لَا أُشْرِكُ بِكَ شَيْئاً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي فَاغْفِرْ وَ ارْحَمْ إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ

And you should say after these two, what is reported from Abu Al-Hassan Musa^-asws – ‘O Allah^‑azwj! There is no god except You^-azwj, and I do not worship except You^-azwj, and I do not associate anything with You^-azwj! O Allah^-azwj! I have been unjust to myself, so Forgive and Mercy (me), surely no one can forgive the sins except You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ أَعْلَنْتُ وَ أَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ وَ أَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive for me what I have sent forward and what I have delayed, and I have announced and I have kept secret, and what You^-azwj are more Knowing with than me, and You^-azwj are the Advancer and You^-azwj are the Delayer!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ دُلَّنِي عَلَى الْعَدْلِ وَ الْهُدَى وَ الصَّوَابِ وَ قِوَامِ الدِّينِ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Point me to the justice, and the guidance, and the correctness, and establishment of the religion!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْعَلْنِي هَادِياً مَهْدِيّاً رَاضِياً مَرْضِيّاً غَيْرَ ضَالٍّ وَ لَا مُضِلٍّ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبَّ الْأَرَضِينَ السَّبْعِ وَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ اكْفِنِي الْمُهِمَّ مِنْ أَمْرِي بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ ادْعُ بِمَا أَحْبَبْتَ-

O Allah^-azwj, and Make me a guide, guided, satisfied, satisfying, neither straying nor straying others! O Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the seven skies and Lord^-azwj of the seven earths, and Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne! Suffice me for the important matters from my matters with what you^-azwj Desire, and Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!’ – and supplication with what you like.

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ- 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 الَّذِي رَزَقْتَنِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَرَيْتَنِي مِنْ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ عَرَّفْتَنِي مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Your^-azwj Pardoning my sins and Overlooking from my misdeeds, and Forgiving my injustices, and Your^-azwj Covering upon my ugly deeds, and Your^-azwj Leniency from my many crimes at what has happened from my mistakes and my deliberate (actions) has encouraged me to ask You^-azwj for what I don’t obligated from You^-azwj which You^-azwj have Graced me from Your^-azwj Mercy, and Shown me from Your^-azwj Power, and Introduced me of Your^-azwj Answer!

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

So, I call upon You^-azwj in peace and security, and I ask You^-azwj comfortably neither fearing nor dreading, led to You^-azwj regarding what I am aiming to You^-azwj. If it is delayed, I tend to fault You^-azwj due to my ignorance, and perhaps that which has been delayed from me, it is better for me due to You^-azwj Knowledge of straightening of the affairs. I have not seen any master more benevolent, more patient upon a blame-worthy slave than You^-azwj are upon me!

يَا رَبِّ إِنَّكَ تَدْعُونِي فَأُوَلِّي عَنْكَ وَ تَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيَّ فَأَتَبَغَّضُ إِلَيْكَ وَ تَتَوَدَّدُ إِلَيَّ فَلَا أَقْبَلُ مِنْكَ كَأَنَّ لِيَ التَّطَوُّلَ عَلَيْكَ ثُمَّ لَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ ذَلِكَ مِنَ الرَّحْمَةِ لِي وَ الْإِحْسَانِ إِلَيَّ وَ التَّفَضُّلِ عَلَيَّ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ فَارْحَمْ عَبْدَكَ الْجَاهِلَ وَ جُدْ عَلَيْهِ بِفَضْلِ إِحْسَانِكَ إِنَّكَ جَوَادٌ كَرِيمٌ و ادع بما أحببت

O Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj Call me but I turn around from You^-azwj, and You^-azwj Make Yourself^-azwj beloved to me but I make myself hateful to You^-azwj, and You^-azwj are cordial to me but I do not accept from You^-azwj! It is as if I have governance upon You^-azwj. Then that did not prevent You^-azwj from being Merciful to me, and the Favours to me, and being Gracious upon me with Your^‑azwj Generosity and Your^-azwj Benevolence. Mercy Your^-azwj ignorant servant and Renew upon him with the Grace of Your^-azwj Favours, You^-azwj are Generous, Benevolent!’ – and supplicate with whatever you like.

فإذا فرغت من الدعاء فاسجد و قل في سجودك- يَا كَائِناً قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ يَا كَائِناً بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ يَا مُكَوِّنَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَا تَفْضَحْنِي فَإِنَّكَ بِي عَالِمٌ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبْنِي فَإِنَّكَ عَلَيَّ قَادِرٌ

When you are free from the supplication, do Sajdah and say in your Sajdah, ‘O Existing before all things, and O Existing after all things, and O Creator of all things! Do not Expose me for You^-azwj are a Knower of me, and do not Punish me for You^-azwj are Able upon me!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ‏ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَ مِنْ سُوءِ الْمَرْجِعِ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَ مِنَ النَّدَامَةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge from the Punishment at death, and from the evil return in the graves, and the regret on the Day of Qiyamah!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِيشَةً هَنِيئَةً وَ مِيتَةً سَوِيَّةً وَ مُنْقَلَباً كَرِيماً غَيْرَ مُخْزٍ وَ لَا فَاضِحٍ ثم ارفع رأسك من السجود و ادع بما شئت ثم تصلي ركعتين.

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for a pleasant life, and a sound death, and a benevolent transfer without disgrace nor scandal!’ – then raise your head from the Sajdah and supplicate with whatever you desire, then pray Salat of two units’’.[30]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ ذُو الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ إِنِّي سَائِلٌ فَقِيرٌ وَ خَائِفٌ مُسْتَجِيرٌ وَ تَائِبٌ مُسْتَغْفِرٌ

And you should say what is reported from one of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^-asws) – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by for You^-azwj is the Praise. There is no god except You^-azwj, the Bestower, Initiator of the skies and the earth, Possessor of the Majestic and the Benevolence. I am a beggar, poor, fearful, seeker of shelter, and repentant seeking Forgiveness!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا قَدِيمَهَا وَ حَدِيثَهَا وَ كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Forgive my sins for me, all of them, their old and their new, and every sin I have sinned!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تُجْهِدْ بَلَائِي وَ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي أَعْدَائِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا رَافِعَ وَ لَا مَانِعَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ ثم تصلي ركعتين.

O Allah^-azwj! Do not exhaust me with my affliction, nor let an enemy gloat with me, for there is neither any raiser nor preventer except You^-azwj!’ – then pray two units Salat’’.[31]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ‏ إِيمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ يَقِيناً حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ لَنْ يُصِيبَنِي إِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي

And you should say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for Eman to embrace my heart with, and conviction until I know that it will never afflict me except what You^-azwj have Written for me, and the satisfaction with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْساً طَيِّبَةً تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ وَ تَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ وَ تَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for a goodly soul believing in meeting You^-azwj and is content with Your^-azwj awards, and satisfied with Your^-azwj Decrees!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً لَا أَجَلَ لَهُ دُونَ لِقَائِكَ تَوَلَّنِي مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تُحْيِينِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَوَفَّانِي إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تَبْعَثُنِي إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ تُبْرِئُ بِهِ صَدْرِي مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَ الرَّيْبِ فِي دِينِي ثم تصلي ركعتين.

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj for a faith that has no end before meeting You^-azwj, Bestowing me for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to remain be upon it, and Cause me to live for as long what You^-azwj Cause me to live upon it, and Cause me to die when You^-azwj Cause me to die upon it, and Resurrect me when You^-azwj Resurrect me to be upon it, and Clean my chest by it from the doubt and the suspicion in my religion!’ – then pray two units Salat’’.[32]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ يَا حَلِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا عَالِمُ يَا عَلِيمُ يَا قَادِرُ يَا قَاهِرُ يَا خَبِيرُ يَا لَطِيفُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدَاهْ يَا مَوْلَايَاهْ يَا رَجَايَاهْ

And you should say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Forbearing, O Benevolent, O Knower, O All-Knowing, O Able, O Forceful, O Informed, O Gentle, O Allah^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Chief, O Master, O Hope!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْحَةً مِنْ نَفَحَاتِكَ كَرِيمَةً رَحِيمَةً تَلُمُّ بِهَا شَعْثِي وَ تُصْلِحُ بِهَا شَأْنِي وَ تَقْضِي بِهَا دَيْنِي وَ تَنْعَشُنِي بِهَا وَ عِيَالِي وَ تُغْنِينِي بِهَا عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ

I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and I ask You^-azwj for a Blessing from Your^-azwj Blessings, benevolent, merciful, smoothing my unkemptness with it, and paying off my debts with it, refreshing me with it and my dependants making me needless by it from the ones besides You^-azwj!

يَا مَنْ هُوَ خَيْرٌ لِي مِنْ أَبِي وَ أُمِّي وَ مِنَ النَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بِيَ السَّاعَةَ- إِنَّكَ عَلى‏ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ-

O the One^-azwj Who is better for me than my father and my mother, and from the people altogether! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Do that with me now, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ مَعَ الْإِصْرَارِ لُؤْمٌ وَ تَرْكِيَ الِاسْتِغْفَارَ مَعَ مَعْرِفَتِي بِكَرَمِكَ عَجْزٌ فَكَمْ تَتَحَبَّبُ إِلَيَّ بِالنِّعَمِ مَعَ غِنَاكَ عَنِّي وَ أَتَبَغَّضُ إِلَيْكَ بِالْمَعَاصِي مَعَ فَقْرِي إِلَيْكَ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Seeking Forgiveness when persistence (upon the sins) is blameworthy, and leaving seeking of the Forgiveness along with my recognition of Your^-azwj Benevolence is frustration. So become beloved to me with the bounties with Your^-azwj needlessness of me, and I become hateful to You^-azwj with the acts of disobedience along with my neediness to You^-azwj!

يَا مَنْ إِذَا وَعَدَ وَفَى وَ إِذَا تَوَعَّدَ عَفَا صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي أَوْلَى الْأَمْرَيْنِ بِكَ فَإِنَّ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ الْعَفْوَ وَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O the One^-azwj, when He^-azwj Promises, He^-azwj Fulfils, and when Threatens, Pardons! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww ad Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Do with me foremost of the two matters with You^-azwj, for it is from Your^-azwj Glory to Pardon, and You^-azwj are most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ مَنْ عَاذَ بِذِمَّتِكَ وَ لَجَأَ إِلَى عِزِّكَ وَ اسْتَظَلَّ بِفَيْئِكَ وَ اعْتَصَمَ بِحَبْلِكَ يَا جَزِيلَ الْعَطَايَا يَا فَكَّاكَ الْأُسَارَى يَا مَنْ سَمَّى نَفْسَهُ مِنْ جُودِهِ الْوَهَّابَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the sanctity of the one shelters with Your^-azwj Covenant and seeking shelter to Your^-azwj Might, and Shade in Your^-azwj courtyard, and I hold on to Your^-azwj rope! O Plentiful of the awards, O Liberator of the captives, O the One Who has Named Himself^-azwj as the Bestower due to His^-azwj Generosity! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!

وَ اجْعَلْ لِي يَا مَوْلَايَ مِنْ أَمْرِي فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً كَيْفَ تَشَاءُ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ وَ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ فَإِنَّهُ يَكُونُ مَا شِئْتَ إِذَا شِئْتَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ ثم تصلي ركعتين.

And O my Master, Make a relief to be for me from my matters and an outlet, and vast sustenance, however You^-azwj Desired, and whenever You^-azwj Desire, and wherever You^-azwj Desire, for whatever You^-azwj Desire will happen, whenever You^-azwj Desire, however You^-azwj Desire!’ – then pray two units Salat!’’[33]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سُرَادِقِ الْمَجْدِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سُرَادِقِ الْبَهَاءِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سُرَادِقِ الْعَظَمَةِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سُرَادِقِ الْجَلَالِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ فِي سُرَادِقِ الْعِزَّةِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْتُوبِ‏ فِي سُرَادِقِ السَّرَائِرِ السَّابِقِ الْفَائِقِ الْحَسَنِ النَّضِيرِ

And you should say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the pavilions of Glory, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the pavilions of Splendour, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the pavilions of Magnificent, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the pavilions of Majesty, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the Pavilion of Might, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name Written in the pavilions of Secrets, the preceding, the superior, the excellent, the radiant!

وَ رَبِّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ وَ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِالْعَيْنِ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ بِالاسْمِ الْأَكْبَرِ الْأَكْبَرِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ بِالاسْمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْمُحِيطِ بِمَلَكُوتِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضِ

By the Lord^-azwj of the eight Angels, and Lord^-azwj of the Magnificent Throne, and by the Eye which does not sleep, and by the Greatest Name, the Greatest, the Greatest, and by the most Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, the most Magnificent, and Dominant with Kingdoms of the skies and the earth, and by the Name which the skies and the earth shine for!

وَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ الشَّمْسُ وَ أَضَاءَ بِهِ الْقَمَرُ وَ سُجِّرَتْ بِهِ الْبِحَارُ وَ نُصِبَتْ بِهِ الْجِبَالُ وَ بِالاسْمِ الَّذِي قَامَ بِهِ الْعَرْشُ وَ الْكُرْسِيُّ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْمُكَرَّمَاتِ الْمُقَدَّسَاتِ الْمَكْنُونَاتِ الْمَخْزُونَاتِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ

And by the Name by which the sun shines and the moon is illuminated with, and by which the oceans are bursting, and by which the mountains are set, and by the Name by which the Throne and the Chair are established, and by Your^-azwj Names, the Blessed, the Holy, the Hidden, the Treasured in the knowledge of the unseen with You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ و تدعو بما أحببت

I ask You^-azwj by that, all of it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws!’ – and supplication with whatever you like.

فإذا فرغت من الدعاء فاسجد و قل في سجودك- سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ اللَّئِيمُ لِوَجْهِ رَبِّيَ الْكَرِيمِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْحَقِيرُ لِوَجْهِ رَبِّيَ الْعَزِيزِ الْكَرِيمِ يَا كَرِيمُ يَا كَرِيمُ بِكَرَمِكَ وَ جُودِكَ اغْفِرْ لِي ظُلْمِي وَ جُرْمِي وَ إِسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي ثم ارفع رأسك و ادع بما أحببت-.

When you are free from the supplication, do Sajdah and say in your Sajdah – ‘My lowly face prostrates to the Honourable Face of my Lord^-azwj! My insignificant face prostrates to my Lord^‑azwj the Mighty, the Benevolent! O Benevolent! O Benevolent! By Your^-azwj Generosity, Forgive my injustices for me and my crimes, and my extravagance upon myself!’ – then raise your head and supplicate with whatever you like’’.[34]

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ بِمَحَامِدِكَ كُلِّهَا عَلَى نَعْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا حَتَّى يَنْتَهِيَ الْحَمْدُ إِلَى مَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى

Then pray two units Salat and say what is reported from one of the two (5^th or 6^th Imam^-asws) – ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise with Your^-azwj Praises, all of them, upon Your^-azwj bounties, all of them, until the Praise ends to what You^-azwj Love and are Pleased with!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَكَ وَ خَيْرَ مَا أَرْجُو وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَحْذَرُ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا لَا أَحْذَرُ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask you^-azwj for Your^-azwj goodness and goodness what I hope for, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the evil of what I am cautious of, and from the evil of what I am not cautious of!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَوْسِعْ لِي فِي رِزْقِي وَ امْدُدْ لِي فِي عُمُرِي وَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدِينِكَ وَ لَا تَسْتَبْدِلْ بِي غَيْرِي

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Expand for me in my sustenance, and Extend for me in my lifespan, and Forgive my sins for me, and Make me from the ones You^-azwj are helped with for Your^-azwj religion, and do not Replace me with others!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ جَنَّتَكَ وَ مِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا تُهَوِّنُ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مُصِيبَاتِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَتِّعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وَ أَبْصَارِنَا وَ انْصُرْنَا عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنَا

Then pray two units and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^‑asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Apportion for us from fearfulness to You^-azwj what would be a barrier between us and disobeying You^-azwj, and from obedience to You^-azwj what would make us reach Your^-azwj Paradise by it, and from the conviction what would make difficulties of the world to be insignificant upon us, and Cause us to enjoy with our hearings, and our sights, and Help us against the ones being inimical to us, and do not Make our difficulties in our religion, and do not Make the world as greatest of our worries and do not let prevail upon us someone who will not mercy us!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ- إِلَهِي ذُنُوبِي تُخَوِّفُنِي مِنْكَ وَ جُودُكَ يُبَشِّرُنِي عَنْكَ فَأَخْرِجْنِي بِالْخَوْفِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا وَ أَوْصِلْنِي بِجُودِكَ إِلَى الْعَطَايَا حَتَّى أَكُونَ غَداً فِي الْقِيَامَةِ عَتِيقَ كَرَمِكَ كَمَا كُنْتُ فِي الدُّنْيَا رَبِيبَ نِعَمِكَ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘My God^-azwj! My sins scare me from You^-azwj while Your^-azwj Generosity gives me glad tidings from You^-azwj, so Extract me with the fear from the misdeeds and Connect me with Your^-azwj Generosity to the awards until tomorrow in the Qiyamah would be in Your^-azwj ancient just as You^-azwj were in the world, a Nourisher of Your^-azwj bounties!

فَلَيْسَ مَا تَبْذُلُهُ غَداً مِنَ النَّجَاءِ بِأَعْظَمَ مِمَّا قَدْ مَنَحْتَهُ الْيَوْمَ مِنَ الرَّجَاءِ وَ مَتَى خَابَ فِي فِنَائِكَ آمِلٌ أَمْ مَتَى انْصَرَفَ بِالرَّدِّ عَنْكَ سَائِلٌ

What salvation You^-azwj will be Bestowing tomorrow wouldn’t be mightier that what hope You^‑azwj are Bestowing today, and when has any wish been disappointed in Your^-azwj courtyard, or when has a beggar turned around from You^-azwj with a Refusal?

إِلَهِي مَا دَعَاكَ مَنْ لَمْ تُجِبْهُ لِأَنَّكَ قُلْتَ- ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ‏ وَ أَنْتَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ يَا إِلَهِي وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي ثم تصلي ركعتين.

My God^-azwj! He has not supplicated to You^-azwj one whom You^-azwj did not Answer, because you^-azwj Said: “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. [40:60], and You^-azwj do not Break the Promise, so Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, O my God^-azwj, and Answer my supplication!’ – then pray two units Salat’’.[35]

و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي الْمَوْتِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى سَكَرَاتِ الْمَوْتِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى غَمِّ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ضِيقِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ظُلْمَةِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى وَحْشَةِ الْقَبْرِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى أَهْوَالِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي طُولِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ اللَّهُمَّ زَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ-

And you should say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Allah^-azwj, Bless for me during the death! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon the pangs of death! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon sadness of the grave! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon constriction of the grave! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon the darkness of the grave! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon the loneliness of the grave! O Allah^-azwj, Assist me upon horrors of the day of Qiyamah! O Allah^-azwj, Bless me during the prolonged Day of Qiyamah! O Allah^-azwj, Get me married to the Maiden Houries!’

ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَدَرِكَ وَ لَا بُدَّ مِنْ قَضَائِكَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ

Then pray two units Salat and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! There is no escape from Your^-azwj Command, nor any escape from Your^-azwj Power, nor any escape from Your^-azwj Decrees, nor any might nor strength except with You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ فَمَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَضَاءٍ أَوْ قَدَّرْتَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ قَدَرٍ فَأَعْطِنَا مَعَهُ صَبْراً يَقْهَرُهُ وَ يَدْمَغُهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا صَاعِداً فِي رِضْوَانِكَ يُنْمِي فِي حَسَنَاتِنَا وَ تَفْضِيلِنَا وَ سُؤْدُدِنَا وَ شَرَفِنَا وَ مَجْدِنَا وَ نَعْمَائِنَا وَ كَرَامَتِنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَا تَنْقُصْ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِنَا

O Allah^-azwj! Whatever Decree You^-azwj have Decreed upon us, or Determination You^-azwj have Determined upon us, so Grave us patience with it to subdue it, and demolish it, and Make it an ascent for us in Your^-azwj Pleasure growing our good deeds, and our preference, and our straightness, and our nobility, and our glory, and our bounties, and our honours in the world and the Hereafter, and do not Reduce from our good deeds!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا مِنْ عَطَاءٍ أَوْ فَضَّلْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ فَضِيلَةٍ أَوْ أَكْرَمْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ كَرَامَةٍ فَأَعْطِنَا مَعَهُ شُكْراً يَقْهَرُهُ وَ يَدْمَغُهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ لَنَا صَاعِداً فِي رِضْوَانِكَ وَ فِي حَسَنَاتِنَا وَ سُؤْدُدِنَا وَ شَرَفِنَا وَ نَعْمَائِكَ وَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah^-azwj, and whatever award You^-azwj have Granted us, or whatever merit You^-azwj have Merited us with it, or honour You^-azwj have Honoured us with, so Grant us gratefulness with it to subdue it, and demolish it, and Make it for us an ascent in Your^-azwj Pleasure, and in our good deeds, and our straightness, and our nobility, and our honour us in the world and the Hereafter!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ لَنَا أَشَراً وَ لَا بَطَراً وَ لَا فِتْنَةً وَ لَا مَقْتاً وَ لَا عَذَاباً وَ لَا خِزْياً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah^-azwj, neither Make it for us vanity, nor arrogance, nor Fitna, nor hatefulness, nor Punishment, nor disgrace in the world and the Hereafter!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عَثْرَةِ اللِّسَانِ وَ سُوءِ الْمَقَامِ وَ خِفَّةِ الْمِيزَانِ

O Allah^-azwj! We seek Refuge with You^-azwj from stumbles of the tongue, and the evil position, and lightness of the Scale!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَقِّنَا حَسَنَاتِنَا فِي الْمَمَاتِ وَ لَا تُرِنَا أَعْمَالَنَا عَلَيْنَا حَسَرَاتٍ وَ لَا تُخْزِنَا عِنْدَ لِقَائِكَ وَ لَا تَفْضَحْنَا بِسَيِّئَاتِنَا يَوْمَ نَلْقَاكَ وَ اجْعَلْ قُلُوبَنَا تَذْكُرُكَ وَ لَا تَنْسَاكَ وَ تَخْشَاكَ كَأَنَّهَا تَرَاكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَاكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Indoctrinate us during the death and do not Show us our deeds as a regret upon us nor Disgrace us at meeting You^-azwj nor Expose us with our evil deeds on the Day we meet You^-azwj, and Make our hearts to remember You^-azwj and not forget You^-azwj, and be fearful of You^-azwj as if it can see You^-azwj until we meet You^-azwj!

وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ بَدِّلْ سَيِّئَاتِنَا حَسَنَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ حَسَنَاتِنَا دَرَجَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ دَرَجَاتِنَا غُرُفَاتٍ وَ اجْعَلْ غُرُفَاتِنَا عَالِيَاتٍ اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَوْسِعْ لِفَقْرِنَا مِنْ سَعَةِ مَا قَضَيْتَ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

And Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Replace our evil deeds with good deeds, and Make our good deeds as ranks, and Make our ranks as towers, and make our towers lofty! O Allah^-azwj, and Expand for our poverty from vastness what You^‑azwj have Decreed upon Yourself^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِالْهُدَى مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا وَ الْكَرَامَةِ مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا وَ الْكَرَامَةِ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ إِذَا تَوَفَّيْتَنَا وَ الْحِفْظِ فِيمَا يَبْقَى مِنْ أَعْمَارِنَا وَ الْبَرَكَةِ فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنَا وَ الْعَوْنِ عَلَى مَا حَمَّلْتَنَا وَ الثَّبَاتِ عَلَى مَا طَوَّقْتَنَا

O Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Confer upon us with the Guidance for as long as You^-azwj Cause us to remain, and the honour for as long as You^-azwj Cause us to live, and the Forgiveness when You^-azwj Cause us to die, and the Protection during what remains from our lifespans, and the Blessings in what You^-azwj Provide us, and the Assistance upon what You^-azwj have Encumbered us, and being steadfast upon what You^-azwj have Collared us!

وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِظُلْمِنَا وَ لَا تُقَايِسْنَا بِجَهْلِنَا وَ لَا تَسْتَدْرِجْنَا بِخَطَايَانَا وَ اجْعَلْ أَحْسَنَ مَا نَقُولُ ثَابِتاً فِي قُلُوبِنَا وَ اجْعَلْنَا عُظَمَاءَ عِنْدَكَ وَ فِي أَنْفُسِنَا أَذِلَّةً وَ انْفَعْنَا بِمَا عَلَّمْتَنَا وَ زِدْنَا عِلْماً نَافِعاً

And do not Seize us due to our injustices, and do not Measure us with our ignorance nor abandon us due to our misdeeds, and Make best of what we say to be affirmed in our hearts, and Make us honourable in Your^-azwj sight and humble within ourselves, and Make us benefit with what we have learned, and Increase us in beneficial knowledge!

أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُقْبَلُ أَجِرْنَا مِنْ سُوءِ الْفِتَنِ يَا وَلِيَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ.

I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from having a heart not fearful, and from an eye not shedding tears, and Salat not Accepted! Shelter us from the evil of Fitna, O Guardian of the world and the Hereafter!’’[36]

فإذا فرغت من الدعاء فاسجد و قل في سجودك مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لَكَ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ حَقّاً حَقّاً الْأَوَّلُ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَ الْآخِرُ بَعْدَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ الْعِظَامَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنِّي مُقِرٌّ بِذُنُوبِي عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ لَا يَدْفَعُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيمَ غَيْرُكَ.

When you are free from the supplication, do Sajdah and say in your Sajdah what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘My face prostrates to You^-azwj in worship and servitude! There is no god except you^-azwj, truly, truly, the First before all things, and the Last after all things! Here I am in front of You^-azwj! My forelock is in Your^-azwj Hand therefore Forgive for me, surely no one forgives the might sins except You^-azwj! So, Forgive for me for I am an acknowledger of my sins upon myself, nor can anyone repel the mighty sins apart from You^-azwj!’’[37]

ثم ارفع رأسك من السجود فإذا استويت قائما فادع بما أحببت ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول‏ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كُرْبَةٍ وَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ وَ أَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِي ثِقَةٌ وَ عُدَّةٌ

Then raise your head from the Sajdah. When you are standing upright, supplicate with what you like, then pray two units Salat and say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws – ‘O Allah^‑azwj! You^-azwj are my Trust in every distress, and You^-azwj are my Hope in every adversity, and You^-azwj are a Trust for me in every matter befalling with me, and a weapon!

كَمْ مِنْ كَرْبٍ يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ الْفُؤَادُ وَ تَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ وَ يَخْذُلُ عَنْهُ الْقَرِيبُ وَ يَشْمَتُ بِهِ الْعَدُوُّ وَ تُعْيِينِي فِيهِ الْأُمُورُ أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ وَ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ رَاغِباً إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَ كَشَفْتَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ صَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلًا.

How many distresses have the hearts have been weakened from, and the means are lacking in it, and the near ones have abandoned from it, and the enemy gloated with it, and it has exhausted me the matters I am descending with You^-azwj and complaining to You^-azwj desiring to You^-azwj in it from the ones besides You^-azwj, so You^-azwj Relieved it and Removed it, and Sufficed it! You^-azwj are Guardian of every bounty, and Companion of every whisper, and Ultimate of every desire! For You^-azwj is the abundant Praise, and For You^-azwj is the Gracious Conferment!’’[38]

ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول‏ مَا رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَأْمُرُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تُنْزِلُ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ مَا شِئْتَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ أَنْزِلْ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى إِخْوَانِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ جِيرَانِي بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتَكَ وَ الرِّزْقَ الْوَاسِعَ وَ اكْفِنَا الْمُؤَنَ

Then pray two units Salat and say what is reported from Abu Abdullah^-asws, he^-asws had instructed with this supplication – ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Send down during the night and the day whatever You^-azwj Desire! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws and Send upon me and upon my brethren, and my family, and my neighbours, Blessings and Forgiveness and the vast sustenance, and Suffice us of the provision!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ نَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا نَحْتَسِبُ وَ احْفَظْنَا مِنْ حَيْثُ نَحْتَفِظُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا نَحْتَفِظُ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Provide us from where we are anticipating and from where we are not anticipating, and Protect us from where we are guarding and from where we are not guarding!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِي جِوَارِكَ وَ حِرْزِكَ عَزَّ جَارُكَ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ لَا إِلَهَ غَيْرُكَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Make us to be in Your^-azwj Shelter and Your Protection! Mighty is Your^-azwj Shelter and Majestic is Your^-azwj Laudation, and there is no god apart from You^-azwj!’’[39]

8 ثم تصلي ركعتين و تقول مَا رُوِيَ عَنِ الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: هَذَا دُعَاءُ الْعَافِيَةِ يَا اللَّهُ يَا وَلِيَّ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْمَنَّانَ بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ رَازِقَ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْمُنْعِمَ بِالْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْمُتَفَضِّلَ بِالْعَافِيَةِ عَلَيَّ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيمَهُمَا صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ لَنَا فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً وَ ارْزُقْنَا الْعَافِيَةَ وَ دَوَامَ الْعَافِيَةِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

أَدِينُكَ بِطَاعَتِهِمْ وَ وَلَايَتِهِمْ وَ الرِّضَا بِمَا فَضَّلْتَهُمْ بِهِ غَيْرَ مُنْكِرٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَكْبِرٍ عَلَى مَعْنَى مَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ عَلَى حُدُودِ مَا أَتَانَا فِيهِ وَ مَا لَمْ يَأْتِنَا مُؤْمِنٌ مُقِرٌّ بِذَلِكَ مُسَلِّمٌ رَاضٍ بِمَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ

I make it as Your^-azwj religion with obeying them^-asws and their^-asws Wilayah, and the satisfaction with what they^-asws have been merited with, neither denying nor arrogant, upon the meaning what has been Revealed in Your^-azwj Book upon limitation of what has come to us regarding it, and what has not come to us we are from the believers, acknowledgers of that, submitting, satisfied with whatever You^-azwj are Satisfied with!

يَا رَبِّ أُرِيدُ بِهِ وَجْهَكَ وَ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ مَرْهُوباً وَ مَرْغُوباً إِلَيْكَ فِيهِ فَأَحْيِنِي مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ أَمِتْنِي إِذَا أَمَتَّنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ ابْعَثْنِي إِذَا بَعَثْتَنِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ مِنِّي تَقْصِيرٌ فِيمَا مَضَى فَإِنِّي أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْهُ وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ

O Lord^-azwj! I am intending Your^-azwj Face by it and the house of the Hereafter, fearfully and desirously to You^-azwj regarding it, so Make me live upon it for as long as You^-azwj Make me live, and Make me die upon it when You^-azwj Cause me to die, and Resurrect me upon that when You^-azwj Resurrect me, and even though there have been deficiencies from me in what has passed, so I repent to You^-azwj from it and desire to You^-azwj regarding what is in Your^-azwj Presence!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ وَ لَا تَكِلَنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي وَ لَا أَقَلَّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ وَ لَا أَكْثَرَ- إِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَأَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إِلَّا مَا رَحِمْتَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

And I ask You^-azwj to Protect me from disobeying You^-azwj and do not Allocate me to myself for the blink of an ever, forever, for as long as You^-azwj Cause me to live, and neither less than that nor more! The soul is the instructor with the evil except one whom You^-azwj Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي بِطَاعَتِكَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّانِي عَلَيْهَا وَ أَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ وَ أَنْ تَخْتِمَ لِي بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ لَا تُحَوِّلَنِي عَنْهَا أَبَداً وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ.

And I ask You^-azwj to Protect me with obeying You^-azwj until You^-azwj Cause me to die upon it while You^-azwj are Pleased with me, and to End for me with the good fortune and not Transfer me away from it, ever, and there is no strength except with You^-azwj!’’[42]

ثم تدعو بما أحببت فإذا فرغت من الدعاء فاسجد و قل في سجودك‏ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْبَالِي الْفَانِي لِوَجْهِكَ الدَّائِمِ الْعَظِيمِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الذَّلِيلُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْعَزِيزِ سَجَدَ وَجْهِيَ الْفَقِيرُ لِوَجْهِكَ الْغَنِيِّ الْكَرِيمِ

Then you should supplication with whatever you like. When you are free from the supplication, then do Sajdah and say in your Sajdah, ‘I prostrate my decaying face, the perishable, to Your^-azwj Permanent Face, the Mighty! I prostrate my humble face to Your^-azwj Magnificent Face, the Mighty! I prostrate my poor face to Your^-azwj Rich Face, the Benevolent!

رَبِّ إِنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا كَانَ وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ مِمَّا يَكُونُ رَبِّ لَا تُجْهِدْ بَلَائِي رَبِّ لَا تُسِئْ قَضَائِي رَبِّ لَا تُشْمِتْ بِي أَعْدَائِي رَبِّ إِنَّهُ لَا دَافِعَ وَ لَا مَانِعَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِأَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ

Lord^-azwj! I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness from what has happened, and I seek Your^-azwj Forgiveness from what is happening! Lord^-azwj, do not Let my afflictions exhaust me! Lord^-azwj, do not Postpone my fulfilment! Lord^-azwj, do not let my enemy gloat with me! Lord^-azwj, there is neither any defender nor preventer except You^-azwj! Lord^-azwj, Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww with best of Your^-azwj Salawaat, and Bless upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, best of Your^-azwj Blessings!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَطَوَاتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَقِمَاتِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ غَضَبِكَ وَ سَخَطِكَ سُبْحَانَكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj! I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from Your^-azwj Prowess, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from Your^-azwj Vengeance, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the entirety of Your^-azwj Wrath and Your^-azwj Annoyance!  Glory be to You^-azwj! You^-azwj are Allah^-azwj, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[43]

و روي هذا الدعاء في السجود عن أبي عبد الله ع يقول علي بن موسى بن جعفر بن محمد بن محمد الطاوس يا أيها المقبل بإقبال الله جل جلاله عليه حيث استدعاه إلى الحضور بين يديه و ارتضاه أن يخدمه و يختص به و يكون ممن يعز عليه لو عرفت ما في مطاوي هذه العنايات من السعادات ما كنت تستكثر لله جل جلاله شيئا من العبادات

And this supplication has been reported regarding the Sajdah(s) of Abu Abdullah^-asws, so said Ali Bin Musa Bin Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Muhammad Al-Tusi. O you who faces with the Acceptance of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, for He^-azwj has Summoned him to stand in His^-azwj Presence and has Chosen him to serve and be among those who are dear to Him^-azwj. If you only knew the hidden blessings within these acts of Divine Favour, you would not consider any form of worship too much to offer for Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty!

فتمم رحمك الله جل‏جلاله وظائف هذه الليلة من غير تثاقل و لا تكاسل و لا إعجاب فأنت ذلك المخلوق من التراب الذي شرفك مولاك رب الأرباب و خلصك من ذلك الأصل الذميم و أتحفك بهذا التكريم و التعظيم و اخدمه و اعرف له قدر المنة عليك و لا يخطر بقلبك إلا أن هذه العبادة من أعظم إحسانه إليك و أنت تعبده لأنه أهل و الله للعبادة فإنك مستعظم لنفسك كيف بلغ بك إلى هذه السعادة.

May Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, Mercy you! Complete the duties of this night without hesitation, laziness, or pride. You are but a creature made of dust whom your Master, Lord^-azwj of the lords has Ennobled You^-azwj, and Rescued you from that lowly origin, and has Bestowed upon you this dignity and elevation. Serve Him^-azwj and recognize the magnitude of His^-azwj Grace upon you. Let your heart hold only the thought that this worship is one of His^-azwj greatest Favours to you and that you worship Him^-azwj because He^-azwj, indeed, is worthy of worship. Reflect on how He^-azwj has brought you to this happiness!

و اعلم أنك إن عبدته لأجل طلب أجرة على عبادتك كنت في مخاطرتك كرجل كان عليه لبعض الغرماء الأقوياء الأغنياء ديون لا يقوم لها حكم العدد و الإحصاء فاجتاز هذا الذي عليه الديون الكثيرة مع غريمه صاحب الحقوق الكثيرة على سوق فيه حلاوة فاقتضى إنعام الغريم أنه اشترى لهذا الذي عليه الدين العظيم طبقا من تلك الحلاوة العظيمة اللذات و كلفه حملها إلى دار الغريم ليأكلها الذي عليه الديون وحده على أبلغ الشهوات

And know that if you worship Him^-azwj with the intent of seeking a Reward for your worship, you are, in your risk, like a man who owes immense debts to a powerful and wealthy creditor, debts beyond measure or count. As they pass through a market filled with sweet delicacies, the generous creditor buys a platter of those delights for the debtor and instructs him to carry it to the creditor’s house, where the debtor alone will eat it with the utmost pleasure.

فلما أكلها الذي عليه الديون الكثيرة و فرغ من أكلها قال للغريم إن هذه الحلاوة قد حملتها معك فأعطني رغيفا أجرة حملها فقال له الغريم إنما حملتها على سبيل المنة عليك و لتصل هذه الحلاوة إليك و ما كنت محتاجا أنا إليها و لي ديون كثيرة عليك ما طالبتك بها فكيف اقتضى عقلك أن تطلب رغيفا أجرة حمل حلاوة ما كلفتك وزن ثمن لها فهل يسترضي أحد من ذوي العقول السليمة ما فعله الذي عليه الديون من طلب تلك الأجرة الذميمة

When the debtor ate the sweets and finished them, he said to the creditor, ‘I carried these sweets with you, now give me a loaf of bread as payment for carrying them’. The creditor replied, ‘I had you carry them as a favour to you, so that you might enjoy the sweets. I did not need them myself, and I have many debts you owe me that I have not demanded. So how could your mind lead you to ask for a loaf as payment for carrying sweets, for which you did not pay a single coin?’ Would any rational person approve of the debtor’s request for this shameful payment?

فكذا حال العبد مع الله جل جلاله فإن القوة التي عمل بها الطاعات من مولاه و العقل و النقل الذي عمل به العبادات من ربه مالك دنياه و أخراه و العمل الذي كلفه إياه إنما يحصل نفعه للعبد على اليقين و الله جل جلاله مستغن عن عبادة العالمين

Such is the state of a servant with Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty. The strength to perform acts of obedience comes from his Lord^-azwj, as do the intellect and guidance with which he worships, is granted by his Master, the Owner of this world and the Hereafter. The benefit of these acts is assuredly for the servant himself, while Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, has no need for the worship of His^-azwj creatures.

و لله جل جلاله على عباده من النعم بإنشائه و إبقائه و إرفاده و إسعاده ما لا يحصيها الإنسان و لو بالغ في اجتهاده فلا يقتضي العقل و النقل أن يعبد لأجل طلب الثواب بل يعبد الله جل جلاله لأنه أهل للعبادة

Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty has Favours upon His^-azwj servants by His^-azwj Creating him, Making him remain, and Blessing him, and Making his fortunate, which are beyond human ability to enumerate, no matter how hard one tries. Reason and Revelation do not dictate that one should worship solely to seek Reward, but rather that one worships Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majestic, because He^-azwj is worthy of worship.

و له المنة عليك كيف رفعك عن مقام التراب و الدواب و جعلك أهلا للخطاب و الجواب‏ و وعدك بدوام نعيم دار الثواب و اعلم أن من مكاسب إحدى هذه الليالي المشار إليها لمن عبد الله جل جلاله على ما ذكرناه من النية التي نبهنا عليها مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ

For Him^-azwj is the Conferment upon you, how He^-azwj Elevated you from the place of dust and the animals, and Make you rightful for the Addressing and the Response, and Promised you the permanent bounties in the house of Rewards! And know, that the from the earnings in one of these nights indicated to, for the one who worships Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, based upon what we have mentioned, from the intention which we are informing upon is what is reported by our chain to Ibn Fazzal by his chain to Abdullah Bin Sinan.

قَالَ: سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَقَالَ مَا عِنْدِي فِيهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ لَكِنْ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قُسِّمَ فِيهِ الْأَرْزَاقُ وَ كُتِبَ فِيهَا الْآجَالُ وَ خَرَجَ فِيهَا صِكَاكُ الْحَاجِّ

He said, ‘I asked him^-asws about the middle of Shaban. He^-asws said: ‘There is nothing with me^‑asws regarding it, but when it would be the night of the 19^th of a month of Ramazan, the sustenance(s) are distributed during it, and the life-terms are Written in it, and Promissory notes of the Pilgrims (of Hajj) emerge in it!

وَ اطَّلَعَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ فَيَغْفِرُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَّا شَارِبَ مُسْكِرٍ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ- فِيها يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ‏ ثُمَّ يَنْتَهِي ذَلِكَ وَ يُقْضَى

And Allah^-azwj the Exalted, the Mighty and Majestic Notices to His^-azwj servants and Forgives for the one He^-azwj so Desires except the drinker of wine. When it would be night of the 23^rd every wise matter is Made distinct in it, then that ends and is fulfilled’.

قَالَ قُلْتُ إِلَى مَنْ

He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘To whom (does it end to)?’

قَالَ إِلَى صَاحِبِكُمْ وَ لَوْ لَا ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَعْلَمْ.

He^-asws said: ‘To your Master^-asws, and had it not been that, he^-asws would not know’’.[44]

وَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ فَقَالَ أَيْضاً بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مَنْصُورِ بْنِ حَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يُفْرَقُ فِيهَا كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ‏ يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا مَا يَكُونُ فِي السَّنَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ خَيْرٍ أَوْ شَرٍّ وَ رِزْقٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ أَوْ مَوْتٍ أَوْ حَيَاةٍ وَ يُكْتَبُ فِيهَا وَفْدُ مَكَّةَ

And by our chains to Ali Bin Fazzal. He said as well by his chain to Mansour Bin Hazim, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The night in which every wise matter is made distinct [44:4], there descends during it what will be happening during the year up to its similar (next year), from good, or evil, and sustenance, or matter, or death, or life, and during it are Written delegates to Makkah (for Hajj).

فَمَنْ كَانَ فِي تِلْكَ السَّنَةِ مَكْتُوباً لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَحْبِسَ وَ إِنْ كَانَ فَقِيراً مَرِيضاً وَ مَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهَا مَكْتُوباً لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ يَحُجَّ وَ إِنْ كَانَ غَنِيّاً صَحِيحاً.

So, the one who was Written during that year will not be capable of holding back and even if he was poor, sick, and the one who was not Written during it would not be capable of going out, and even if he was rich, healthy!’’[45]

أقول فهل يحسن من مصدق بالإسلام و بما نقل عن الرسول و عترته عليه و عليهم أفضل السلام أن ليلة واحدة من ثلاث ليال أن يكون فيها تدبير السنة كلها و إطلاق العطايا و دفع البلايا و تدبير الأمور و هي أشرف ليلة في السنة عند القادر على نفع كل سرور و دفع كل محذور فلا يكون نشيطا لها و لا مهتما بها

I say, is it fitting for someone who believes in Islam and in what has been conveyed from the Progeny^-asws of the Rasool^-saww and his^-saww family, upon him^-saww and upon them be best of the greetings, to know that on a single night among three, the entire plan for the year is Decreed, gifts are Bestowed, afflictions are Repelled, and all matters are Arranged, and that this night is the most honoured night of the year in the sight of the One Capable of Granting every joy and Averting every harm, yet he remains indifferent or lacks eagerness for it?

فهل تجد العقل قاضيا أن سلطانا يختار ليلته من سنة للإطلاق و العتاق و المواهب و نجاة المطالب و يأذن إذنا عاما في الطلب منه لكل حاضر و غائب فيتخلف أحد من ذلك المجلس العام و عن تلك الليلة المختصة بذلك الإنعام التي ما يعود مثلها إلى بعد عام مع أن الذين دعاهم إلى سؤاله محتاجون مضطرون إلى ما بذله لهم من نواله و إقباله و إفضاله

Would reason allow a person to ignore the invitation of a ruler who has chosen a night in the year to grant freedom, gifts, and fulfilment of needs, inviting all, both present and absent, to come and request from him? Would anyone miss such a gathering of grace, a night distinguished by such generosity, which will not return for another year, especially when those invited to ask are in need and desperate for what He^-azwj has Promised of His^-azwj bounties, Favour, and Acceptance?

ما ذا تقول لو أنك بعد الفراغ من هذه المائة ركعة أو مائة و عشرين سمعت أن قد حضر ببابك رسول من بعض ملوك الآدميين قد عرض‏ عليك مائة دينار أو شيئا مما تحتاج إليها من المسار و دفع الأخطار فكيف كان نشاطك و سرورك بالرسول و بالإقبال و القبول و يزول النوم و الكسل بالكلية الذي كنت تجده في معاملة مولاك مالك الجلالة المعظمة الإلهية الذي قد بذل لك السعادة الدنيوية و الأخروية لقد افتضح ابن آدم المسكين بتهوينه بمالك الأولين و الآخرين.

What would you say if, after finishing one hundred or one hundred and twenty units of Salat, you were told that a messenger from one of the earthly kings had come to your door, offering you one hundred gold coins or something essential to your happiness and safety? How eagerly and joyfully would you respond to this messenger, and how readily would sleep and laziness vanish, which you felt while worshiping your Master, the Owner of the Magnificent Divine Majesty who has already Granted you the bounties of this world and the Hereafter? Indeed, poor son of Adam^-as disgraces himself by belittling the Grandeur of the Owner of the former ones and the latter ones!

فارحم يا أيها المسعود نفسك و لا يكن محمد رسول الله سلطان العالمين و ما وعد به عن مالك يوم الدين دون رسول عبد من العباد يجوز أن يخلف في الميعاد و أمره يزول إلى الفناء و النفاد و لا تشهد على نفسك أنك ما أنت مصدق بوعد سلطان المعاد بتثاقلك عن حبه و قربه و وعده و نشاطك لعبد من عبيده.

So have mercy on yourself, O fortunate one, and do not let Muhammad^-saww Rasool^-saww of Allah^-azwj the Authority of the worlds, and what he^-saww has promised on behalf of the Owner of the Day of Reckoning, be of less importance to you than a mere servant among humankind who may fail to fulfil promises and whose authority will fade away. Do not testify against yourself that you lack true belief in the promise of the Sovereign of the Hereafter, shown by your reluctance towards His^-azwj Love, Closeness, and Promises, while being active for a servant from His^-azwj servants.

و من مهمات ليلة تسع عشرة ما قدمناه في أول ليلة منه مما يتكرر كل ليلة فلا تعرض عنه‏

And from the important matters of night of the 19^th is what we have forwarded in the first night of it, from what is to be repeated every night, so do not turn away from it.

أَقُولُ وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيِّ فِي كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ الْفَارِسِيُّ وَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيُّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ هَوْذَةَ عَنِ الْأَحْمَرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أُنْزِلَتْ صِكَاكُ الْحَاجِّ وَ كُتِبَتِ الْآجَالُ وَ الْأَرْزَاقُ وَ اطَّلَعَ اللَّهُ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ فَغَفَرَ لِكُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَا خَلَا شَارِبَ مُسْكِرٍ أَوْ صَارِمَ رَحِمٍ مَاسَّةٍ مُؤْمِنَةٍ.

I am saying, ‘And it is reported from Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al Nahdy in the book ‘Kitab Amal Shahr Ramazan’. He said, ‘We are informed by Abu Bakr Ahmad Bin Yaqoub Al Farsi, and Is’haq Bin Al-Hassan Al Basry, from Ahmad Bin Howza, from Al Ahmary, from Abdullah Bin Hammad, from Abdullah Bin Sinan who said,

Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘When it would be night of the 19^th of a month of Ramazan, documents of the pilgrims (of Hajj) are Sent down, and the life-terms are Written, and Allah^-azwj Notices upon His^-azwj creatures, for He^-azwj Forgives for every Momin other than a drinker of wine, or severs kinship, (or) harms a believing woman’’.[46]

أقول و قد مضى في كتابنا هذا و غيره أن ليلة النصف من شعبان يكتب الآجال و يقسم الأرزاق و يكتب أعمال السنة و يحتمل أن يكون في ليلة نصف شعبان تكون البشارة بأن في ليلة تسع عشرة من شهر رمضان يكتب الآجال و يقسم الأرزاق فتكون ليلة نصف شعبان ليلة البشارة بالوعد و ليلة تسع عشرة من شهر رمضان وقت إنجاز ذلك الوعد

I say, ‘And it has been mentioned in this book and others that on the night of 15^th of Shaban, lifespans are Decreed, provisions are Apportioned, and the deeds for the year are written. It is possible that on the night of the 15^th of Sha’ban, there is a foretelling, and that on the 19^th night of Ramazan, the lifespans and provisions are actually Decreed. Thus, the night of the 15^th Shaban could be a night of good news and promise, while the 19^th night of Ramazan is when that promise is fulfilled.

أو يكون في تلك الليلة يكتب آجال قوم و يقسم أرزاق قوم و في هذه ليلة تسع عشرة يكتب آجال الجميع و أرزاقهم أو غير ذلك مما لم نذكره فإن الخبر ورد صحيحا صريحا بأن الآجال و الأرزاق تكتب في ليلة تسع عشرة و ليلة إحدى و عشرين و ثلاث و عشرين من شهر رمضان و سنذكر هاهنا بعض أحاديث ليلة تسع عشرة

Alternatively, it could be that on the 15^th of Shaban, lifespans and provisions are Decreed for some people, and on the 19^th of Ramazan, they are decreed for everyone, or something else altogether that we have not mentioned. The report has come clearly and authentically that lifespans and provisions are Decreed on the 19^th, and 21^st and 23rd nights of Ramazan. Here, we will mention some of the narrations related to the 19th night’.

فنقول‏ رَوَى أَيْضاً عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي آخَرِينَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ فِي كِتَابِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ بُطَّةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ زَكَرِيَّا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ

We say, ‘It is reported also by Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al Nahdy in the book ‘Kitab Amal Shahr Ramazan’ who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Abdullah Bin Muhammad among the latter ones who said, ‘We are informed by Ali Bin Hatim in his book who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ja’far, meaning Ibn Buttah who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Yahya Bin Imran Al Ashary, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Zakariya Al Momin, from Is’haq Bin Ammar,

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ وَ نَاسٌ يَسْأَلُونَهُ يَقُولُونَ إِنَّ الْأَرْزَاقَ تُقْسَمُ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ

‘From Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I heard him^-asws saying, and people were asking him^-asws saying, ‘The sustenance(s) are Apportioned on the night of middle of Shaban!’

فَقَالَ لَا وَ اللَّهِ مَا ذَلِكَ إِلَّا فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَإِنَّ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ يَلْتَقِي الْجَمْعَانِ وَ فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ‏ يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ‏ وَ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ يَمْضِي مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ ذَلِكَ وَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي قَالَ اللَّهُ‏ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

He^-asws said: ‘No, by Allah^-azwj! That does not happen except during night of 19^th of a month of Ramazan, and 21^st, and 23^rd! During night of the 19^th, the two groups meet, and during night of 21^st, every wise matter is made distinct [44:4], and during night of the 23^rd, it is implemented what Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, had Wanted, and it is Laylat Al-Qadr which Allah^-saww Said: is better than a thousand months [97:3]’.

قُلْتُ مَا مَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ يَلْتَقِي الْجَمْعَانِ

I said, ‘What is the meaning of His^-azwj Words: the two parties [8:41]?’

قَالَ يَجْمَعُ اللَّهُ فِيهَا مَا أَرَادَ اللَّهُ مِنْ تَقْدِيمِهِ وَ تَأْخِيرِهِ وَ إِرَادَتِهِ وَ قَضَائِهِ

He^-asws said: ‘Allah^-azwj Gathers during it what Allah^-azwj Wants from His^-azwj Destiny, and His^-azwj Delaying, and His^-azwj Will, and His^-azwj Decrees!’

قُلْتُ وَ مَا مَعْنَى يَمْضِيهِ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ

I said, ‘And what is the meaning of ‘Implemented during night of the 23^rd?’

قَالَ إِنَّهُ يُفْرَقُ فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ يَكُونُ لَهُ فِيهِ الْبَدَاءُ فَإِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ أَمْضَاهُ فَيَكُونُ مِنَ الْمَحْتُومِ الَّذِي لَا يَبْدُو لَهُ فِيهِ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى.

He^-asws said: ‘It is Made distinct during night of the 21^st, and the Change of Decision (Al Bada’a) can be for Him^-azwj regarding it. When it would be night of the 23^rd, it is Implemented, so it would become from the Ordained matters which there is no replacement (change) for Him^‑azwj, Blessed and Exalted, regarding it’’.[47]

أَقُولُ وَ رُوِيَ‏ أَنَّهُ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَيْلَةَ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ يَلْعَنُ قَاتِلَ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيٍّ ع مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.

I am saying, ‘And it is reported that he^-asws sought Forgiveness on night of the 19^th of a month of Ramazan, one hundred times, and cursed killers of our Master Ali^-asws one hundred times’’.[48]

و رأيت حديثا في الأصل الذي في المجلد الكتاب الذي أوله الرسالة الغرية في فضلها.

And I saw a Hadeeth in the original which is in the volume of the book which its beginning is the glorious treatise in its merits.

أقول و وجدت في كتاب كنز اليواقيت تأليف أبي الفضل بن محمد الهروي أخبارا في فضل ليلة القدر و صلاة فنحن نذكرها في هذه ليلة تسع عشرة لأنها أول الليالي المفردات فيصليها من يريد الاحتياط للعبادات في الثلاث الليالي المفضلات.

I am saying, and I have found in the book ‘Kanz Al-Yuwaqeet’, compiled by Abu Al-Fazl Bin Muhammad Al-Harwy Ahadeeth regarding merits of Laylat Al-Qadr, and Salat. We are mentioning these in this night of 19^th because it is the first of the odd night, so he should pray these, one who wants the diligence of the acts of worship in the three preferred nights’.

Mention of the reported Salat

فِي الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَيَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ سَبْعَ‏ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً فَمَا دَامَ لَا يَقُومُ مِنْ مَقَامِهِ حَتَّى يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ وَ لِأَبَوَيْهِ وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَائِكَةً يَكْتُبُونَ لَهُ الْحَسَنَاتِ إِلَى سَنَةٍ أُخْرَى وَ بَعَثَ اللَّهُ مَلَائِكَةً إِلَى الْجِنَانِ يَغْرِسُونَ لَهُ الْأَشْجَارَ وَ يَبْنُونَ لَهُ الْقُصُورَ وَ يُجْرُونَ لَهُ الْأَنْهَارَ وَ لَا يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَرَى ذَلِكَ كُلَّهُ.

In the mentioned book, from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘One who prays two units Salat during Laylat Al-Qadr, so he recites in each unit Surah Al Fatiha once and Surah Al Tawheed seven times, when he is free he should seek Forgiveness seventy times, he will not stand from his place until Allah^-azwj will Forgive for him and for his parents, and Allah^-azwj will dispatch Angels writing the good deeds for him up to the next year, and Allah^-azwj will Send Angels to the Gardens planting the trees for him and building the castles for him, and flowing the rivers for him, and he will not exit from the world until he sees that, all of it!’’[49]

وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ حُوِّلَ عَنْهُ الْعَذَابُ إِلَى السَّنَةِ الْقَابِلَةِ.

And from the mentioned book, from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘One who revives Laylat Al-Qadr (holds vigil), the Punishment will be transferred away from him to the following year’’.[50]

وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ مُوسَى إِلَهِي أُرِيدُ قُرْبَكَ

And from the mentioned book, from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘Musa^-as said: ‘O my^-as God^-azwj! I^-as want Your^-azwj nearness!’

He^-as said: ‘My^-as God^-azwj! I^-as want the crossing over the Bridge!’ (on the Day of Qiyamah)

قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

He^-azwj Said: “That is for the one who give charity during Laylat Al-Qadr!”

قَالَ إِلَهِي أُرِيدُ مِنْ أَشْجَارِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ ثِمَارِهَا

قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِيحَةً فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

قَالَ إِلَهِي أُرِيدُ النَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ

He^-as said: ‘My^-as God^-azwj! I^-as want the salvation from the Hellfire!’

قَالَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنِ اسْتَغْفَرَ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ

قَالَ رِضَايَ لِمَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ.

He^-azwj Said: “My^-azwj Pleasure is for the one who prays two units Salat during Laylat Al-Qadr!”’[51]

وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْمَذْكُورِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يُفَتَّحُ أَبْوَابُ السَّمَاوَاتِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يُصَلِّي فِيهَا إِلَّا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ بِكُلِّ سَجْدَةٍ شَجَرَةً فِي الْجَنَّةِ لَوْ يَسِيرُ الرَّاكِبُ فِي ظِلِّهَا مِائَةَ عَامٍ لَا يَقْطَعُهَا

And from the mentioned book, from the Prophet^-saww having said: ‘Doors of the skies are opened during Laylat Al-Qadr. There is none from a servant who prays Salat during it except Allah^-azwj the Exalted Writes for him with every Sajdah, such a tree in the Paradise, if a rider were to travel in its shade for a hundred years, he would not cut across it!

وَ بِكُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بَيْتاً فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِنْ دُرٍّ وَ يَاقُوتٍ وَ زَبَرْجَدٍ وَ لُؤْلُؤٍ وَ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ تَاجاً مِنْ تِيجَانِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحَةٍ طَائِراً مِنَ الْعَجْبِ وَ بِكُلِّ جَلْسَةٍ دَرَجَةً مِنْ دَرَجَاتِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ بِكُلِّ تَشَهُّدٍ غُرْفَةً مِنْ غُرُفَاتِ الْجَنَّةِ وَ بِكُلِّ تَسْلِيمَةٍ حُلَّةً مِنْ حُلَلِ الْجَنَّةِ

And with every unit, a house in Paradise of gems, and sapphire, and emeralds, and pearls, and with every Verse a crown from the crowns of Paradise, and with every glorification a bird from the wonders, and with every sitting a rank from the ranks of Paradise, and with every Tashahhud a tower from the towers of Paradise, and with every Salaat a garment from the garments of Paradise!

فَإِذَا انْفَجَرَ عَمُودُ الصُّبْحِ أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ مِنَ الْكَوَاعِبِ الْمُآلِفَاتِ‏ وَ الْجَوَارِي الْمُهَذَّبَاتِ وَ الْغِلْمَانِ الْمُخَلَّدِينَ وَ النَّجَائِبِ الْمُطَيَّرَاتِ وَ الرَّيَاحِينِ الْمُعَطَّرَاتِ وَ الْأَنْهَارِ الْجَارِيَاتِ وَ النَّعِيمِ الرَّاضِيَاتِ وَ التُّحَفِ وَ الْهَدِيَّاتِ وَ الْخِلَعِ وَ الْكَرَامَاتِ وَ مَا تَشْتَهِي‏ الْأَنْفُسُ وَ تَلَذُّ الْأَعْيُنُ وَ أَنْتُمْ فِيها خالِدُونَ‏.

When the pillars of morning burst out, Allah^-azwj will Give him from the comforting maidens, and the polite maids, and the eternal youths (servants), and the noble flying riders, and the aromatic perfumes, and the flowing rivers, and the blissful satisfaction, and the gifts and the presents, and the clothes, and the honours, and whatever the souls desire and delights the eyes, and you will be in it eternally!’’[52]

وَ مِنْ هَذَا الْكِتَابِ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ ع‏ مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَ مَثَاقِيلَ الْجِبَالِ وَ مَكَايِيلَ الْبِحَارِ.

And from this book, from Al Baqir^-asws: ‘One who revives (holds vigil) Laylat Al-Qadr, his sins will be Forgiven for him and even if his sins were the number of stars of the sky, and weight of the mountains, and measures of the oceans!’’[53]

We are reporting by our chain to Hareez Bin Abdullah Al Sijistani,

From Abu Ja’far^-asws having said: ‘Take the Quran during three nights of a month of Ramazan and spread it, and place it in front of you and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Revealed Book and whatever is in it, and in it is Your^-azwj Greatest Name, and Your^-azwj most excellent Names, and what is to be feared and hoped for, to Make me from Your^-azwj Liberated ones from the Hellfire!’ – and supplicate with whatever need comes to you.’’[54]

ذكر ما نختاره من الروايات بالدعوات ليلة تسع عشرة من شهر رمضان‏

Mention of what we have chosen from the reports with the supplications of the night of 19^th of a month of Ramazan

دُعَاءٌ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ أَصْحَابِنَا الْعَتِيقَةِ وَ هُوَ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا وَهَبْتَ لِي مِنِ انْطِوَاءِ مَا طُوِيَتْ مِنْ شَهْرِي وَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تُحِنْ فِيهِ أَجَلِي وَ لَمْ تَقْطَعْ عُمُرِي وَ لَمْ تُبْلِنِي بِمَرَضٍ يَضْطَرُّنِي إِلَى تَرْكِ الصِّيَامِ وَ لَا بِسَفَرٍ يُحِلُّ لِيَ الْإِفْطَارَ

A supplication we found in an ancient book of our companions, and it is – ‘O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise upon what You^-azwj have Bestowed to me from passing of what has passed from my month, and You^-azwj did not Take my life during it, and did not Cut my lifespan, and did not Afflict me with a sickness making me desperate to leave the Fasting, nor by a journey permitting me the breaking!

فَأَنَا أَصُومُهُ فِي كِفَايَتِكَ وَ وِقَايَتِكَ أُطِيعُ أَمْرَكَ وَ أَقْتَاتُ رِزْقَكَ وَ أَرْجُو وَ أُؤَمِّلُ تَجَاوُزَكَ

I am fasting in it, (with) Your^-azwj Sufficing and Your^-azwj Protection, obeying Your^-azwj Command, and sufficing with Your^-azwj sustenance, and hoping and wishing Your^-azwj Overlooking!

فَأَتْمِمِ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَيَّ فِي ذَلِكَ نِعْمَتَكَ وَ أَجْزِلْ بِهِ مِنَّتَكَ وَ اسْلَخْهُ عَنِّي بِكَمَالِ الصِّيَامِ وَ تَمْحِيصِ الْآثَامِ وَ بَلِّغْنِي آخِرَهُ بِخَاتِمَةِ خَيْرٍ وَ خِيَرَةٍ يَا أَجْوَدَ الْمَسْئُولِينَ وَ يَا أَسْمَحَ الْوَاهِبِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj, so Complete Your^-azwj bounties upon me during that and be plentiful of Your^-azwj Conferment with it, and Strip it away from me the sins with the perfection of the Fasts, and purification of (deeds), and Make me reach its end with an ending of goodness and virtue, O the most Generous of the ones asked and O the most Gracious of the bestowers, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws!’’[57]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ التَّاسِعَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْهُ رَوَيْنَاهَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ مِنْ كِتَابِهِ فِي عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ يَا ذَا الَّذِي كَانَ قَبْلَ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ثُمَّ يَبْقَى وَ يَفْنَى كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ يَا ذَا الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ الْعُلَى وَ لَا فِي الْأَرَضِينَ السُّفْلَى وَ لَا فَوْقَهُنَّ وَ لَا بَيْنَهُنَّ وَ لَا تَحْتَهُنَّ إِلَهٌ يُعْبَدُ غَيْرُهُ

Another supplication during the night of 19^th of it. We are reporting it by our chain to Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra from his book ‘Fi Amal Shahr Ramazan’ – ‘O You^-azwj Who Existed before all things, then Created all things, then He^-azwj will remain and all things will perish! O You^-azwj Who, neither is there in the exalted skies nor in the low earths, nor above these nor between these nor below these, any god being worshipped apart from Him^-azwj!

لَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِحْصَائِهِ إِلَّا أَنْتَ فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً لَا يَقْدِرُ عَلَى إِحْصَائِهَا إِلَّا أَنْتَ.

For You^-azwj is the Praise, such Praise no one is able upon counting it except You^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws, a Salawaat no one is able upon counting theses except You^-azwj!’’[58]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ فِيمَا تَفْرُقُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ فِي الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمْ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمْ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي وَ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا

Another supplication during the night of 19^th from it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make among what You^-azwj Decree and Determine from the Ordained matters, and among what You^-azwj Distinguish from the wise matters during Laylat Al-Qadr, and regarding the Decree which cannot be returned nor replaced, (make) Your^-azwj Writing me being from the pilgrims of Your^‑azwj Sacred House, their Hajj accomplished, their striving Appreciated, their sins Forgiven, their evil deeds Expiated, and Make among what You^-azwj Decree and Determine, Your^-azwj Prolonging my life, and Expanding upon me regarding my sustenance, and Doing such and such with me!’

وَ هَذَا الدُّعَاءُ ذَكَرْنَا نَحْوَهُ فِي دُعَاءِ كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ وَ لَكِنْ بَيْنَهُمَا تَفَاوُتٌ.

And this supplication, we have mentioned it among supplications of every night, but there are differences between the two’’.[59]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي لَيْلَةِ تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ مِنْهُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ لَكَ عَبْداً دَاخِراً- لَا أَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي ضَرّاً وَ لَا نَفْعاً وَ لَا أَصْرِفُ عَنْهَا سُوءاً أَشْهَدُ بِذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ أَعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِضَعْفِ قُوَّتِي وَ قِلَّةِ حِيلَتِي

Another supplication during the night of 19^th from it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I have come to an evening a submissive servant of Yours^-azwj! I cannot control for myself, neither harm nor benefit, nor can I turn evil away from it. I testify with that upon myself, and I acknowledge to You^-azwj the weakness of my strength and lack of my means.

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي وَ جَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ مِنَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ مَا آتَيْتَنِي فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ الضَّعِيفُ الْفَقِيرُ الْمَهِينُ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Fulfil for me what You^-azwj Promised me and the entirety of the believing men and the believing women, of the Forgiveness during this night, and Complete upon me what You^-azwj have Given me, for I am Your^-azwj servant, the needy, the humble, the weak, the poor, the insignificant!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي نَاسِياً لِذِكْرِكَ فِيمَا أَوْلَيْتَنِي وَ لَا غَافِلًا لِإِحْسَانِكَ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي وَ لَا آيِساً مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ وَ إِنْ أَبْطَأَتْ عَنِّي فِي سَرَّاءَ كُنْتُ أَوْ ضَرَّاءَ أَوْ شِدَّةٍ أَوْ رَخَاءٍ أَوْ عَافِيَةٍ أَوْ بَلَاءٍ أَوْ بُؤْسٍ أَوْ نَعْمَاءَ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ.

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make me forgetful of Your^-azwj Zikr regarding what You^-azwj have Bestowed me, nor heedless of Your^-azwj Favours regarding what You^-azwj have Granted me, nor despairing from Your^-azwj Response and even if it is delayed from me, whether I was in prosperity or adversity, or hardship or ease, or well-being of affliction, or misery or bounties! You^-azwj are Hearer of the supplication!’’[60]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَمُوتُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَزُولُ مُلْكُهُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ خَافِيَةٌ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا تَسْقُطُ وَرَقَةٌ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِ- وَ لا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُماتِ الْأَرْضِ وَ لا رَطْبٍ وَ لا يابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتابٍ مُبِينٍ‏ إِلَّا بِعِلْمِهِ وَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ

Another supplication during this night was reported from the Prophet^-saww: ‘Glorious is the One Who does not die! Glorious is the One Whose Kingdom does not decline! Glorious is the One a hiding one is not hidden from Him^-azwj! Glorious is the One no leave falls off except with His^-azwj Knowledge, nor a seed in the darkness of the earth, nor any wet nor dry except it is in an apparent Book [6:59], except by His^-azwj Knowledge, and by His^-azwj Power!

فَسُبْحَانَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ سُبْحَانَهُ مَا أَعْظَمَ شَأْنَهُ وَ أَجَلَّ سُلْطَانَهُ

Glory be to Him^-azwj! Glory be to Him^-azwj! Glory be to Him^-azwj! Glory be to Him^-azwj! Glory be to Him^-azwj! Glory be to Him^-azwj! How Magnificent is His^-azwj Glory, and how Majestic is His^-azwj Authority!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ وَ سُعَدَاءِ خَلْقِكَ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ‏ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ‏.

O Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Make us from Your^-azwj liberated ones, and fortunate ones of Your^-azwj creatures by Your^-azwj Forgiveness! Surely, You^-azwj are the Forgiving, the Merciful!’’[61]

فصل فيما يختص باليوم التاسع عشر من دعاء غير متكرر

Section regarding what supplications are specific with the 19^th day without repetition

دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ بِأَنَّكَ أَحَدٌ صَمَدٌ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ- وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ وَ بِأَنَّكَ جَوَادٌ مَاجِدٌ رَحْمَانُ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ تُعْطِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ وَ تَحْرُمُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ

Supplication of the 19^th day of a month of Ramazan – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by that there is no god except You^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You^-azwj, and that Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and by that You^-azwj are First, 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 by that You^-azwj are Generous, Glorious, Beneficent of the world and the Hereafter! You^-azwj Give the one You^-azwj Desire, and Deprive the one You^-azwj Desire!

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمْ الْمَبْسُوطِ رِزْقُهُمْ الْمَحْفُوظِينَ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ أَدْيَانِهِمْ وَ أَهَالِيهِمْ وَ أَوْلَادِهِمْ

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make among what You^-azwj Decree and Determine from the Ordained matters, to Write me as being from the pilgrims of Your^-azwj Sacred House, their Hajj accomplished, their sustenance extended, the ones protected regarding themselves and their religions, and their wives, and their children!

وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ ذَلِكَ فِي عَامِي هَذَا وَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ صِحَّةٍ مِنْ جِسْمِي وَ نِيَّةٍ خَالِصَةٍ لَكَ وَ سَعَةٍ فِي ذَاتِ يَدِي وَ قُوَّةٍ فِي بَدَنِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي

And Make that to be in this year of mine, and in every year for ever, for as long as You^-azwj Make me remains in Ease from You^-azwj, and well-being, and good health of my body, and pure intention for You^-azwj, and vastness of possessions of my hand, and strength in my body upon entirety of my affairs!

اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ طَلَبَ حَاجَتَهُ إِلَى أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ فَإِنِّي لَا أَطْلُبُ حَاجَتِي إِلَّا مِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي أَنْ أَغُضَّ بَصَرِي وَ أَنْ أَحْفَظَ فَرْجِي وَ أَنْ أَكُفَّ عَنْ مَحَارِمِكَ وَ أَنْ أَعْمَلَ مَا أَحْبَبْتَ وَ أَنْ أَدَعَ مَا أَسْخَطْتَ.

O Allah^-azwj! Whoever seeks his need to anyone of the created being, I do not seek my needs except from You^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and I ask You^-azwj to Make for me so I would close my eyes (from Prohibitions), and protect my private parts, so that I would refrain from Your^-azwj Prohibitions, and I will work what You^-azwj Like and leave what Angers You^-azwj!’’[62]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ وَفِّرْ حَظِّي مِنْ بَرَكَاتِهِ وَ سَهِّلْ سَبِيلِي إِلَى حِيَازَةِ خَيْرَاتِهِ وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي الْقَلِيلَ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ يَا هَادِي إِلَى الْحَقِّ الْمُبِينِ.

Another supplication during this day, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make my share plentiful from its Blessings, and Facilitate my way to attain its goodness, and do not Deprive me the little from its good deeds! O Guide to the manifest truth!’’[63]

أقول: و اعلم أن الرواية وردت من عدة جهات عن الصادقين عن الله جل جلاله عليهم أفضل الصلوات أن يوم ليلة القدر مثل ليلته فإياك أن تهون بنهار تسع عشرة أو إحدى و عشرين أو ثلاث و عشرين و تتكل على ما عملته في ليلتها و تستكثره لمولاك و أنت غافل عن عظيم نعمته و حقوق ربوبيته و كن في هذه الأيام الثلاثة المعظمات على أبلغ الغايات في العبادات و الدعوات و اغتنام الحياة قبل الممات

I say, ‘And know that the narration has been transmitted from multiple sources from the Truthful Ones (Imams^-asws), who conveyed from Allah, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and upon them be the best of Salawaat, that the day of Laylat Al-Qadr is like its night. So, beware of belittling the daytime of the 19^th, 21^st, or 23^rd and relying solely on what you have done during their nights, thinking it sufficient for your Lord^-azwj while being heedless of His^-azwj great bounties and the rights of His^-azwj Lordship. Strive during these three significant days to reach the utmost in worship, supplication, and seizing the opportunity of life before death’.

أقول و المهم من هذه الليالي في ظاهر الروايات عن الطاهرين ما قدمناه من التصريح أن ليلة القدر ليلة ثلاث و عشرين فلا تهمل يومها.

I say, ‘The important night among these, based on apparent narrations from the Pure Ones, is as we previously mentioned with the explicit statement that Laylat Al-Qadr is the night of the 23^rd. So, do not neglect its day’.

وَ مِنَ الرِّوَايَةِ فِي ذَلِكَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الصَّادِقِ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ قَالَ: يَوْمُهَا مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهَا يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ.

And from the reports regarding that by our chain from Hisham Bin Al Hakam, may the Pleasure of Allah^-azwj be upon him, from Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws, said: ‘Its day is like its night, meaning Laylat Al-Qadr’’.[64]

وَ فِي حَدِيثٍ آخَرَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ سَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا وَ لَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا سَعِيدَ السَّمَّانِ كَيْفَ تَكُونُ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

And in another Hadeeth from Abu Abdullah^-asws, one of our companions had asked him^-asws, and I don’t know except it was Saeed Al-Samman, ‘How is Laylat Al-Qadr better than a thousand months?’

قَالَ الْعَمَلُ فِيهَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ.

He^-asws said: ‘The deed during it is better than the deeds in a thousand months not having Laylat Al-Qadr in it!’’[65]

وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ يَوْمُهَا مِثْلُ لَيْلَتِهَا يَعْنِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ هِيَ تَكُونُ فِي كُلِّ سَنَةٍ.

And Abu Abdullah^-asws said: ‘Its day is like its night, meaning Laylat Al-Qadr, and it happens during every year!’’[66]

قل، إقبال الأعمال فيما نذكره من زيادات و دعوات في الليلة الحادية و العشرين منه و في يومها فمن الزيادات في فضل ليلة إحدى و عشرين على ليلة تسع عشرة اعلم أن ليلة الحادية و العشرين من شهر الصيام ورد فيها أحاديث أنها أرجح من ليلة تسع عشرة منه و أقرب إلى بلوغ المرام-.

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’, among what we are mentioning from the additional, and supplications during night of the 21^st from it, and during its day. From the additional regarding merits of night of the 21^st over night of the 19^th, know that night of the 21^st of a month of Ramazan, Ahadeeth have arrived regarding it that it is more successful than night of the 19^th from it, and closer to reach the goal’.

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى زُرَارَةَ عَنْ حُمْرَانَ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ- أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ هِيَ فِي إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ.

From that is what we are reporting by our chain to Zurara, from Humran who said, ‘I ask Abu Abdullah^-asws about Laylat Al-Qadr. He^-asws said: ‘It is in 21^st and 23^rd’’.[67]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ع أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ الْتَمِسْهَا فِي لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَقُلْتُ أَفْرِدْهَا لِي فَقَالَ وَ مَا عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تَجْتَهِدَ فِي لَيْلَتَيْنِ.

And from that by our chain as well to Abdul Wahid Bin Al-Mukhtar Al-Ansari who said, ‘I said to Abu Ja’far^-asws, ‘Inform me about Laylat Al-Qadr’. He^-asws said: ‘Seek it during the night of 21^st and 23^rd’. I said, ‘Single it out for me!’ He^-asws said: ‘And what (problem) is upon you if you were to strive during two nights?’’[68]

أقول و قد قدمنا قول أبي جعفر الطوسي في التبيان أن ليلة القدر في مفردات العشر الأواخر من شهر رمضان و ذكر أنه بلا خلاف. و منها أن الاعتكاف في هذا العشر الأواخر من شهر رمضان عظيم الفضل و الرجحان مقدم على غيره من الأزمان‏

I say, ‘And we have forwarded the word of Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi in ‘Al Tibyan’ that Laylat Al-Qadr is among odd ones of the last ten of a month of Ramazan, and he mentioned that it is without opposition, and from these is that the Itikaaf (devotional seclusion) during the last let of a month of Ramazan is of mightier merit and virtue, preceding over other times’.

وَ قَدْ رَوَيْنَا بِعِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ عَنِ الشَّيْخِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيِّ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ وَ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ‏ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ يَعْتَكِفُ هَذَا الْعَشْرَ الْأَخِيرَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

And we are reporting by several paths, from the sheykh Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al-Kulayni, and Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Babuwayh, and my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may Allah^‑azwj Sanctify their souls, that Rasool-Allah^-saww used to be in Itikaaf (devotional seclusion) in these last ten (days) of a month of Ramazan’’.[69]

أقول و اعلم أن كمال الاعتكاف هو إيقاف العقول و القلوب و الجوارح على مجرد العمل الصالح و حبسها على باب الله جل جلاله و مقدس إرادته و تقييدها بقيود مراقباته و صيانتها عما يصون الصائم كمال صونه عنه

I say, ‘And know that the perfection of Itikaf lies in dedicating the mind, heart, and limbs solely to righteous deeds, confining them to the door of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and His^-azwj Sacred Will, binding them with the restraints of His^-azwj watchfulness. It involves preserving them from what a fasting person must avoid, with even greater care and precaution, while adding the essence of what Itikaf entails – a commitment to turning fully toward Allah^-azwj and abandoning any turning away from Him^-azwj!

و يزيد على احتياط الصائم في صومه زيادة معنى المراد من الاعتكاف و التلزم بإقباله على الله و ترك الإعراض عنه فمتى أطلق المعتكف خاطرا لغير الله في طرق أنوار عقله و قلبه أو استعمل جارحة في غير الطاعة لربه فإنه يكون قد أفسد من حقيقة كمال الاعتكاف بقدر ما غفل أو هون به من كمال الأوصاف و منها ذكر المواضع التي يعتكف فيها

If the person in Itikaf allows their thoughts to stray toward anything other than Allah^-azwj in the pathways of their mind and heart, or employs any limb in something other than obedience to their Lord^-azwj, they diminish the essence of the perfection of Itikaf to the extent of their negligence or leniency in upholding its noble qualities. Among these qualities is the mention of the places designated for observing Itikaf’.

رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ الْكُلَيْنِيِّ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ ابْنِ بَابَوَيْهِ وَ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ بِإِسْنَادِهِمْ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَا تَقُولُ فِي الِاعْتِكَافِ بِبَغْدَادَ فِي بَعْضِ مَسَاجِدِهَا

We are reporting by our chains to Muhammad Bin Yaqoub Al-Kulayni, and Abu Ja’far Ibn Babuwayh, and my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tus, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with them, by their chains to Umar Bin Yazeed who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘What are you^-asws saying regarding the Itikaf (performed) at Baghdad in one of its Masjids?’

فَقَالَ لَا اعْتِكَافَ إِلَّا فِي مَسْجِدِ جَمَاعَةٍ قَدْ صَلَّى فِيهَا إِمَامٌ عَدْلٌ صَلَاةَ جَمَاعَةٍ وَ لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ تَعْتَكِفْ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْكُوفَةِ وَ الْبَصْرَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَ مَسْجِدِ مَكَّةَ.

He^-asws said: ‘There is no Itikaf except in a congregational Masjid a just Imam^-asws has prayed congregational Salat in it, and there is no problem if you were to perform Itikaf in Masjid of Al-Kufa, and of Al-Basra, and Masjid of Al-Medina, and Masjid of Makkah’’.[70]

ذكر أن الاعتكاف لا يكون أقل من ثلاثة أيام بالصيام‏

Mention of that the Itikaf cannot happen in less than three days with the Fasting.

رَوَيْنَاهُ بِالْإِسْنَادِ الْمُقَدَّمِ ذِكْرُهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: لَا يَكُونُ الِاعْتِكَافُ أَقَلَّ مِنْ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ وَ مَتَى اعْتَكَفَ صَامَ وَ يَنْبَغِي لِلْمُعْتَكِفِ إِذَا اعْتَكَفَ أَنْ يَشْتَرِطَ كَمَا يَشْتَرِطُ الَّذِي يُحْرِمُ.

We are reporting by the previous chain mentioning it from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘The Itikaf cannot happen in less than three days, and when one performs Itikaf, he should fast, and it is befitting for the one performing Itikaf when he observes Itikaf that he should stipulate (make intention) just as he stipulates, the one who dons Ihraam (ritual consecration)’’.[71]

أقول: و من شرط المعتكف أن لا يخرج من موضع اعتكافه إلا بضرورة تقتضي جواز انصرافه و إذا خرج لضرورة فيكون أيضا حافظا لجوارحه و أطرافه حتى يعود إلى مسجد الاختصاص و ما شرط على نفسه من الإخلاص ليظفر من الله جل جلاله بالشرط المضمون في قوله تعالى‏ أَوْفُوا بِعَهْدِي أُوفِ بِعَهْدِكُمْ وَ إِيَّايَ فَارْهَبُونِ‏.

I say, ‘Among the conditions for the one observing Itikaf is that they should not leave the place of their retreat except for a necessity that permits them to do so. If they must leave due to necessity, they should still guard their senses and limbs until they return to the designated Masjid and uphold the sincerity they committed to. This is so they may attain from Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, fulfilment of the promise mentioned in His^-azwj Words, the Exalted: and fulfil My Covenant, I will Fulfil My Covenant with you; Me alone, you should be fearing [2:40]!’’[72]

ذكر ما نختار روايته من فضل المهاجرة إلى الحسين صلوات الله عليه في العشر الأواخر من شهر رمضان‏

Mention of what we chosen from its report of merits of the one emigrating to Al-Husayn^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws, during the last ten (days) of a month of Ramazan

رَوَيْنَا ذَلِكَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ بُنْدَارَ الْقُمِّيُّ إِجَازَةً قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ عِمْرَانَ الْأَشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي نَصْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرِّضَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ مُوسَى ع يَقُولُ‏ عُمْرَةٌ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ تَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً وَ اعْتِكَافُ لَيْلَةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الرَّسُولِ ص وَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِهِ يَعْدِلُ حَجَّةً وَ عُمْرَةً وَ مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع يَعْتَكِفُ عِنْدَ الْعَشْرِ الْغَوَابِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَكَأَنَّمَا اعْتَكَفَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ النَّبِيِّ ص وَ مَنِ اعْتَكَفَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كَانَ ذَلِكَ أَفْضَلَ لَهُ مِنْ حَجَّةٍ وَ عُمْرَةٍ بَعْدَ حَجَّةِ الْإِسْلَامِ

We are reporting that by our chain to Abu Al Mufazzal who said, ‘We are informed by Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Bundar Al Qummi by choice, who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Yahya Bin Imran Al Ashari, from his father, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Abu Nasr who said,

‘I heard Al-Reza Ali Bin Musa^-asws saying: ‘(Performing) Umrah during a month of Ramazan equates to a Hajj, and Itikaf (devotional seclusion) of a night is Masjid of the Rasool^-saww and by his^-saww grave equates to a Hajj and an Umrah, and one who visits Al-Husayn to perform Itikaf during the ten last (days) of a month of Ramazan, it is as if he has observed Itikaf by the grave of the Prophet^-saww, and the one who observes Itikaf by the grave of Rasool-Allah^-saww, that would be better for him than a Hajj and an Umrah after Hajj of Al Islam’.

قَالَ الرِّضَا ع وَ لْيَحْرِصْ مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَلَّا يَفُوتَهُ لَيْلَةُ الْجُهَنِيِّ عِنْدَهُ وَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَإِنَّهَا اللَّيْلَةُ الْمَرْجُوَّةُ

Al-Reza^-asws said: ‘And the one who visits Al-Husayn^-asws during a month of Ramazan, let him be eager that he should not miss Laylat Al-Juhanny, and it is night of the 23^rd, for it is the night hoped for!’

قَالَ وَ أَدْنَى الِاعْتِكَافِ سَاعَةٌ بَيْنَ الْعِشَاءَيْنِ فَمَنِ اعْتَكَفَهَا فَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ حَظَّهُ أَوْ قَالَ نَصِيبَهُ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ.

He^-asws said: ‘And the least Itikaf is an hour between the two Ishas (Al-Maghrib and Al-Isha). The one who observes it would attain his portion!’ Or he^-asws said: ‘His share from Laylat Al-Qadr’’.[73]

و منها الغسل في كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ مِنْ كِتَابِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيِّ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَغْتَسِلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ.

And from these is the ritual bath during every night from the last ten. We are reporting it by our chain to Muhammad^-saww Bin Abu Umeyr from the book of Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al-Nahdy, from one of his companions, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah^-saww used to have a ritual bath during the month of Ramazan during the last ten days, during every night’’.[74]

و منها تعيين فضل الغسل في ليلة إحدى و عشرين من شهر رمضان وَ قَدْ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: غُسْلُ لَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ سُنَّةٌ.

And from these is the specified merit of the ritual bath during night of the 21^st of a month of Ramazan, and we are reporting it by our chains to Al-Husayn Bin Saeed by his chain to Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘Bathing on the night of 21^st of a month of Ramazan is a Sunnah’’.[75]

و منها المائة ركعة و دعاؤها أو المائة و الثلاثون ركعة على إحدى الروايتين و أدعيتها و قد قدمنا وصف المائة ركعة و أدعيتها منها عشرون ركعة أول ليلة من‏ الشهر و منها ثمانون ركعة في ليلة تسع عشرة منه تكملة الدعوات فليعمل هذه الليلة على تلك الصفات ثمان بين العشاءين و اثنتان و تسعون ركعة بعد العشاء الآخرة.

And from these is (praying) one hundred units (Salat) and their supplications, or the one hundred and thirty units upon one of the two report and their supplications, and we have forwarded description of the one hundred units and their supplication – from these are twenty units on the first night of the month, and from these are eighty units during night of the 19^th, perfection the supplication. So let him work this night based upon these descriptions, eight (units) between Al Maghrib and Al Isha, and ninety-two units after Al Isha the last.

و منها الدعوات المتكررة في كل ليلة من شهر رمضان قبل السحر و بعده و قد تقدم وصف ذكرها و طيب نشرها في أول ليلة من شهر رمضان فاعمل عليه و لا تتكاسل عنه

And from these are the repeated supplication during every night of a month of Ramazan before the pre-dawn and after it, and have forwarded description of their mention, and their description and the beauty of their recitation were mentioned earlier on the first night of Ramazan, so adhere to them and do not neglect them.

فإنما تعمل مع نفسك العزيزة عليك و إن هونت فأنت النادم و الحجة ثابتة عليك بالتمكن الذي قدرت عليه و إذا رأيت المجتهدين يوم التغابن ندمت على التفريط و خاصة إذا وجدت نفسك هناك دون من كنت في الدنيا متقدما عليه.

Indeed, you are working for the sake of your own precious soul. If you treat it lightly, you will be the one who regrets it, and the evidence against you will be firm, as you had the ability to act but chose not to. When you see the diligent ones on the Day of loss and gain, you will lament your neglect especially if you find yourself there in a lower station than those over whom you were superior in this world.

و منها الدعاء المختص بليلة إحدى و عشرين وجدناه في كتب أصحابنا العتيقة و هو في ليلة إحدى و عشرين‏ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُدَبِّرُ الْأُمُورِ وَ مُصَرِّفُ الدُّهُورِ وَ خَالِقُ الْأَشْيَاءِ جَمِيعاً بِحِكْمَتِهِ دَالَّةً عَلَى أَزَلِيَّتِهِ وَ قِدَمِهِ جَاعِلُ الْحُقُوقِ الْوَاجِبَةِ لِمَا يَشَاءُ رَأْفَةً مِنْهُ وَ رَحْمَةً لِيَسْأَلَ بِهَا سَائِلٌ وَ يَأْمُلَ إِجَابَةَ دُعَائِهِ بِهَا آمِلٌ فَسُبْحَانَ مَنْ خَلَقَ وَ الْأَسْبَابُ إِلَيْهِ كَثِيرَةٌ وَ الْوَسَائِلُ إِلَيْهِ مَوْجُودَةٌ

And from these is the supplication specific with the night of 21^st we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is regarding night of 21^st – ‘There is no god except Allah^-azwj Manager of the affairs, and Changer of the times, and Creator of all the things by His^-azwj Wisdom evidence’s upon His^-azwj eternality and his ancientness, Maker of the rights obligatory for whoever He^-azwj so Desires out of Kindness from Him^-azwj and Mercy, so a beggar can request by it and a wishing one can wish for the Response to his supplication with it. Glory be to the One Who Created and the causes to Him^-azwj are many, and the means to Him^-azwj are existing!

وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَعْتَوِرُهُ فَاقَةٌ وَ لَا تَسْتَذِلُّهُ حَاجَةٌ وَ لَا تُطِيفُ بِهِ ضَرُورَةٌ وَ لَا يَحْذَرُ إِبْطَاءَ رِزْقِ رَازِقٍ وَ لَا سَخَطَ خَالِقٍ فَإِنَّهُ الْقَدِيرُ عَلَى رَحْمَةِ مَنْ هُوَ بِهَذِهِ الْخِلَالِ مَقْهُورٌ وَ فِي مَضَائِقِهَا مَحْصُورٌ يَخَافُ وَ يَرْجُو مَنْ بِيَدِهِ الْأُمُورُ وَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى مَا يَشَاءُ قَدِيرٌ

And Glorious is Allah^-azwj Who is not affected by poverty, nor subdued by need, nor encompassed by necessity. He^-azwj does not fear the delay of provision from a provider, nor the displeasure of a creator, for He^-azwj is fully capable of Showing Mercy to one who is overwhelmed by these states, confined in their difficulties, fearful and hopeful toward the One in whose hand all affairs lie and to Whom all will return, and He^-azwj is Able upon whatever He^-azwj Desires!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ وَ نَبِيِّكَ مُؤَدِّي الرِّسَالَةِ وَ مُوضِحِ الدَّلَالَةِ أَوْصَلَ كِتَابَكَ وَ اسْتَحَقَّ ثَوَابَكَ وَ أَنْهَجَ سَبِيلَ حَلَالِكَ وَ حَرَامِكَ وَ كَشَفَ عَنْ شَعَائِرِكَ وَ أَعْلَامِكَ فَإِنَّ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي سَمَّيْتَهَا بِالْقَدْرِ وَ أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهَا مُحْكَمَ الذِّكْرِ وَ فَضَّلْتَهَا عَلَى أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ وَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ مَوَاهِبِ الْمَقْبُولِينَ وَ مَصَائِبِ الْمَرْدُودِينَ فَيَا خُسْرَانَ مَنْ بَاءَ فِيهَا بِسَخَطِهِ وَ يَا وَيْحَ مَنْ حَظِيَ فِيهَا بِرَحْمَتِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant, and Your^-azwj servant, and Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, deliverer of the Message, and clarifier of the evidence! He^-saww brought Your^-azwj Book, and deserves Your^-azwj Rewards, and established the path of what is lawful and unlawful, and revealed Your^-azwj signs and symbols. This is the night which You^-azwj have Named it as ‘Al-Qadr’ and Sent down in it the Decisive Zikr and Merited it over a thousand months, and it is a night of gifts of the Accepted ones and difficulties for the repelled ones! O the loss of the one returns in it with His^-azwj Wrath, and O joy of the one who has a portion in it with His^-azwj Mercy!

اللَّهُمَّ فَارْزُقْنِي قِيَامَهَا وَ النَّظَرَ إِلَى مَا عَظَّمْتَ مِنْهَا مِنْ غَيْرِ حُضُورِ أَجَلٍ وَ لَا قُرْبِهِ وَ لَا انْقِطَاعِ أَمَلٍ وَ لَا فَوْتِهِ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهَا لِعَمَلٍ تَرْفَعُهُ وَ دُعَاءٍ تَسْمَعُهُ وَ تَضَرُّعٍ تَرْحَمُهُ

O Allah^-azwj! Grace me its standings (for Salat), and the observing and to honour this night and to witness the greatness You^-azwj have placed within it, without the arrival of my appointed time or its nearness, without the severance of hope or its loss. Enable me in it to perform deeds that You^-azwj Elevate, supplications that You^-azwj hear, humble pleas that You^-azwj Show Mercy to!

وَ شَرٍّ تَصْرِفُهُ وَ خَيْرٍ تَهَبُهُ- وَ غُفْرَانٍ تُوجِبُهُ وَ رِزْقٍ تُوَسِّعُهُ وَ دَنَسٍ تُطَهِّرُهُ وَ إِثْمٍ تُغَسِّلُهُ وَ دَيْنٍ تَقْضِيهِ وَ حَقٍّ تَتَحَمَّلُهُ وَ تُؤَدِّيهِ وَ صِحَّةٍ تُتِمُّهَا وَ عَافِيَةٍ تُنْمِيهَا وَ أَشْعَاثٍ تُلِمُّهَا وَ أَمْرَاضٍ تَكْشِفُهَا وَ صَنْعَةٍ تَكْنُفُهَا وَ مَوَاهِبَ تَكْشِفُهَا وَ مَصَائِبَ تَصْرِفُهَا وَ أَوْلَادٍ وَ أَهْلٍ تُصْلِحُهُمْ وَ أَعْدَاءٍ تَغْلِبُهُمْ وَ تَقْهَرُهُمْ

The evil that You^-azwj Ward off, goodness that You^-azwj Bestow, Forgiveness that You^-azwj Ensure, sustenance that You^-azwj Expand, impurity that You^-azwj Cleanse, sins that You^-azwj wash away, debts that You^-azwj Settle, rights that You^-azwj Fulfil and deliver, health that You^-azwj complete, well-being that You^-azwj Nurture, scattered affairs that You^-azwj Gather, illnesses that You^-azwj Remove, crafts that You^-azwj Safeguard, blessings that You^-azwj Reveal, calamities that You^-azwj Avert, and children and family whom You^-azwj Reform, and enemies You^-azwj Overpower and Subdue!

وَ تَكْفِي مَا أَهَمَّ مِنْ أَمْرِهِمْ وَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى قُدْرَتِهِمْ وَ تَسْطُو بِسَطَوَاتِهِمْ وَ تَصُولُ عَلَى صَوْلَاتِهِمْ وَ تَغُلُّ أَيْدِيَهُمْ إِلَى صُدُورِهِمْ وَ تُخْرِسُ عَنْ مَكَارِهِي أَلْسِنَتِهِمْ وَ تَرُدُّ رُءُوسَهُمْ عَلَى صُدُورِهِمْ

And Suffice me against their concerns. Enable me to overpower their strength, to subdue their might, and to confront their aggressions. Bind their hands to their chests, Silence their tongues from what displeases me, and Return their schemes upon themselves, placing their heads back upon their chests!

اللَّهُمَّ سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ اكْفِنِي الْبَغْيَ وَ مُصَارَعَةَ الْغَدْرِ وَ مَعَاطِبِهِ وَ اكْفِنِي سَيِّدِي شَرَّ عِبَادِكَ وَ اكْفِ عَنِّي شَرَّ جَمِيعِ عِبَادِكَ وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيْهِمُ الْخَيْرَاتِ مِنِّي حَتَّى تَنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ فِي الْآخِرِينَ

O Allah^-azwj, My Chief and my Master! Suffice me of the rebellion and being knocked down by the betrayal and its pitfalls, and Suffice me, my Chief, the evil of Your^-azwj servants, and Restrain from me the evil of entirety of Your^-azwj servants, and Spread the goodness from me upon them until it descends upon me among the latter ones!

وَ اذْكُرْ وَالِدَيَّ وَ جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ ذِكْرَى سَيِّدٍ قَرِيبٍ لِعَبِيدٍ وَ إِمَاءٍ فَارَقُوا الْأَحِبَّاءَ وَ خَرِسُوا عَنِ النَّجْوَى وَ صَمُّوا عَنِ النِّدَاءِ وَ حَلُّوا أَطْبَاقَ الثَّرَى وَ تُمَزِّقُهُمُ الْبِلَى

And Remember my parents and all believing men and women with Your^-azwj Mercy and Forgiveness, a Remembrance from a Lord^-azwj Who is close to His^-azwj servants. Grant Your^-azwj Grace to those who have departed from their loved ones, fallen silent from whispered conversations, deaf to calls, and have settled in the layers of the earth, where decay disintegrates them!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ أَوْجَبْتَ لِوَالِدٍ عَلَيَّ حَقّاً وَ قَدْ أَدَّيْتُهُ بِالاسْتِغْفَارِ لَهُمَا إِلَيْكَ إِذْ لَا قُدْرَةَ لِي عَلَى قَضَائِهِ إِلَّا مِنْ جِهَتِكَ وَ فَرَضْتَ لَهُمَا فِي دُعَائِي فَرْضاً قَدْ أَوْفَدْتُهُ عَلَيْكَ إِذْ خَلَتْ بِيَ الْقُدْرَةُ عَلَى وَاجِبِهَا وَ أَنْتَ تَقْدِرُ وَ كُنْتُ لَا أَمْلِكُ وَ أَنْتَ تَمْلِكُ

O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Obligated rights for a parent upon me and I have fulfilled it with seeking the Forgiveness to You^-azwj for them both when there is no power for me upon fulfilling it except from Your^-azwj Direction, and Obligated for them an obligation in my supplication, and I have presented this duty before You^-azwj, as I lack the ability upon its obligation while You^‑azwj are Able, and I have no control while You^-azwj are in Control!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَحْلُلْ بِي فِيمَا أَوْجَبْتَ وَ لَا تُسَلِّمْنِي فِيمَا فَرَضْتَ وَ أَشْرِكْنِي فِي كُلِّ صَالِحِ دُعَاءٍ أَجَبْتَهُ وَ أَشْرِكْ فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِي جَمِيعَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ إِلَّا مَنْ عَادَى أَوْلِيَاءَكَ وَ حَارَبَ أَصْفِيَاءَكَ وَ أَعْقَبَ بِسُوءِ الْخِلَافَةِ أَنْبِيَاءَكَ وَ مَاتَ عَلَى ضَلَالَتِهِ وَ انْطَوَى فِي غَوَايَتِهِ

O Allah^-azwj! Do not Reckon me for what You^-azwj have Ordained, nor Abandon me in what You^‑azwj have Decreed. Include me in every righteous supplication that You^-azwj Accept, and Include all believing men and women in the goodness of my supplications, except those who have shown enmity to Your^-azwj allies, waged war against Your^-azwj Chosen ones, betrayed Your^‑azwj Prophets^-as with evil leadership, died in their misguidance, and persisted in their error.

فَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَهُمْ أَنْتَ الْقَائِمُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ غَفَّارُ الصَّغَائِرِ وَ الْمُوبِقُ بِالْكَبَائِرِ بِ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ

I declare to You^-azwj my disavowal of supplicating for them, for You^-azwj are the one who holds every soul accountable for what it has earned. You^-azwj Forgive minor sins and destroy for the major ones by, there is no god except You^-azwj! Glory be to You^-azwj, I have been from the unjust ones!

فَانْشُرْ عَلَيَّ رَأْفَتَكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ كَثِيراً.

Sprinkle Your^-azwj Kindness upon me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and may Allah^-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww the Prophet^-saww, and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and abundant greetings!’’[76]‏

وَ مِنْهَا الدُّعَاءُ الْمُخْتَصُّ بِلَيْلَةِ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنَ الْفُصُولِ الثَّلَاثِينَ مَرْوِيٌّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص‏ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ

And from these is the supplication specific with night of the 21^st from the thirty chapters reported from the Prophet^-saww – ‘I testify that there is no god except Allah^-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him^-azwj, and I testify that Muhammad^-saww His^-azwj servants, and His^-azwj Rasool^-saww!

وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ حَقٌّ وَ النَّارَ حَقٌّ- وَ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ‏ يَبْعَثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الرَّبَّ رَبِّي لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ لَا وَلَدَ لَهُ وَ لَا وَالِدَ لَهُ

And I testify that the Paradise is true, and the Hellfire is true, and that the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and Allah^-azwj will Resurrect ones in the graves; and I testify that the Lord^-azwj is my Lord^-azwj, there is no associate for Him^-azwj, and there is no son for Him^-azwj, and there is no father for Him^-azwj!

وَ أَشْهَدَ أَنَّهُ الْفَعَّالُ لِمَا يُرِيدُ وَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَ الصَّانِعُ لِمَا يُرِيدُ وَ الْقَاهِرُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَ الرَّافِعُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ مَالِكُ الْمُلْكِ وَ رَازِقُ الْعِبَادِ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ

And I testify that He^-azwj is the Doer of whatever He^-azwj Wants, and the Powerful Able upon all things, and the Maker of whatever He^-azwj Wants, and the Subduer of ones He^-azwj so Desires to, and the Elevator of one He^-azwj so Desires to! King of the Kingdom, and Provider of the servants, the Forgiver, the Merciful, the Lenient!

أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ سَيِّدِي كَذَلِكَ وَ فَوْقَ ذَلِكَ لَا يَبْلُغُ الْوَاصِفُونَ كُنْهَ عَظَمَتِكَ

I testify, I testify, I testify, I testify, I testify, I testify, I testify You^-azwj are my Master, are like that, and above that! The describers cannot reach the essence of His^-azwj Magnificence!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اهْدِنِي وَ لَا تُضِلَّنِي بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْهَادِي الْمَهْدِيُّ.

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, and Guide me and do not let me stray after having Guided me, surely, You^-azwj rightly guide!’’[77]

و منها ذكر ما يختص بهذه الليلة من دعاء العشر الأواخر رويناه بعدة طرق إلى جماعة من أصحابنا الماضين عمن أسندوه إليه من الأئمة الطاهرين صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين و وجدنا رواية محمد بن أبي قرة رحمه الله أكمل الروايات فأوردناها بألفاظها احتياطا للعبادات و هي‏

And from these is mentioned of what is specific with this night from supplication of the last ten (days), we are reporting by a number of ways to a group of our companions of the past, from the ones attributing to it from the Pure Imams^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj upon them^-asws all, and we found a report by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, complete reports, so we are referring these with their wordings as a precaution for the acts of worship, and these are: –

مِمَّا نَرْوِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: يَقُولُ أَوَّلَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ- يَا مُولِجَ اللَّيْلِ فِي النَّهَارِ وَ مُولِجَ النَّهَارِ فِي اللَّيْلِ وَ مُخْرِجَ الْحَيِّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ مُخْرِجَ الْمَيِّتِ مِنَ الْحَيِّ

From what we are reporting with our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah^‑azwj Mercy him, to Umar Bin Yazeed, from Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘He should say in the first night of it, ‘O Inserter of the night into the day and Inserter of the day into the night, and Extractor of the living from the dead and Extractor of the dead from the living!

يَا رَازِقَ‏ مَنْ يَشاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسابٍ‏ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ

O Sustainer of the One He^-azwj so Desire without measure! O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, O Allah^‑azwj, O Merciful! 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!

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

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 to be among the fortunate ones, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgiven!

وَ أَنْ تَهَبَ لِي يَقِيناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَ إِيمَاناً يَذْهَبُ بِالشَّكِّ عَنِّي وَ رِضًا بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ

And Grant conviction to me to embrace my heart with it, and Eman to remove the doubts from me, and satisfaction with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and Give me goodness in the world and goodness in the Hereafter, and Save me from Punishment of the Hellfire!

وَ ارْزُقْنِي يَا رَبِّ فِيهَا ذِكْرَكَ وَ شُكْرَكَ وَ الرَّغْبَةَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْكَ وَ التَّوْبَةَ وَ التَّوْفِيقَ لِمَا تُحِبُّهُ وَ تَرْضَاهُ وَ لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ شِيعَةَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

And O Lord^-azwj, Provide me in it to do Your^-azwj Zikr, and thank You^-azwj, and the desire, and being penitent to You^-azwj, and the repentance, and the inclination to what You^-azwj Like and are Pleased with, to what You^-azwj have Harmonised Shias of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, upon him^-saww and upon them be the greetings!

يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ 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

O most Merciful of the merciful ones, and do not Try me with seeking what You^-azwj have Impeded from me by Your^-azwj Mighty and Your^-azwj Strength, and Assist me, O Lord^-azwj, 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 enemies gloat with me!

وَ وَفِّقْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَلَى أَفْضَلِ مَا رَآهَا أَحَدٌ وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِمَا وَفَّقْتَ لَهُ مُحَمَّداً وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ حَتَّى يَنْقَطِعَ النَّفَسُ

And Harmonise for me Laylat Al-Qadr upon best of what anyone has seen, and Incline me to what You^-azwj had Inclined Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws, and Do such and such with me, now, now!’ – until the breath is cut.

زِيَادَةٌ بِغَيْرِ الرِّوَايَةِ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اقْسِمْ لِي حِلْماً يَسُدُّ عَنِّي بَابَ الْجَهْلِ وَ هُدًى تَمُنُّ بِهِ عَلَيَّ مِنْ كُلِّ ضَلَالَةٍ وَ غِنًى تَسُدُّ بِهِ عَنِّي بَابَ كُلِّ فَقْرٍ وَ قُوَّةً تَرُدُّ بِهَا عَنِّي كُلَّ ضَعْفٍ وَ عِزّاً تُكْرِمُنِي بِهِ عَنْ كُلِّ ذُلٍّ وَ رِفْعَةً تَرْفَعُنِي بِهَا عَنْ كُلِّ ضَعَةٍ وَ أَمْناً تَرُدُّ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّ خَوْفٍ

Additional by another report – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Distribute to me forbearance blocking the door of ignorance from me, and Conferring upon me with it from every straying, and richness blocking by it from me the door of every poverty, and strength repelling by it from me every weakness, and honour honouring me by it from every disgrace, and loftiness elevating me by it from every lowliness, and security repelling by it from me every fear!

وَ عَافِيَةً تَسْتُرُنِي بِهَا مِنْ كُلِّ بَلَاءٍ وَ عِلْماً تَفْتَحُ لِي بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ يَقِينٍ وَ يَقِيناً تُذْهِبُ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّ شَكٍّ وَ دُعَاءً تَبْسُطُ لِي بِهِ الْإِجَابَةَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ يَا كَرِيمُ وَ خَوْفاً تُيَسِّرُ لِي بِهِ كُلَّ رَحْمَةٍ وَ عِصْمَةً تَحُولُ بِهَا بَيْنِي وَ بَيْنَ الذُّنُوبِ حَتَّى أُفْلِحَ بِهَا بَيْنَ الْمَعْصُومِينَ عِنْدَكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

And well-being covering me by it from every affliction, and knowledge opening for me by it from every certainty, and conviction removing by it from me every doubt, and Extend for me by it the Response in this night, and in this time, now, now O Benevolent, and Facilitate for me by it every Mercy, and Protection Making it a barrier with it between me and the sins until I am successful with it between the Infallible(s) in Your^-azwj Presence by Your^-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[78]

و من الزيادات ما يتكرر كل ليلة من العشر الأواخر

And from the additional what is to be repeated every night from the last ten: –

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ- شَهْرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ هُدىً لِلنَّاسِ وَ بَيِّناتٍ مِنَ الْهُدى‏ وَ الْفُرْقانِ

From that is what is reported by our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah^‑azwj be Pleased with him, by his chain to Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr from Murazim, from Abu Abdullah^-saww, he^-asws was saying during every night from the last ten: ‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Said in Your^-azwj Revealed Book: The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, a Guidance for the people, and clear evidence from the Guidance and the Furqan; [2:185]!

فَعَظَّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ خَصَصْتَهُ بِ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ جَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

So, the sanctity of a month of Ramazan was enlarged due to what was Revealed during it from the Quran and Specialised it with Laylat Al-Qadr, and made it better than a thousand months!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ هَذِهِ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ وَ لَيَالِيهِ قَدْ تَصَرَّمَتْ وَ قَدْ صِرْتُ يَا إِلَهِي مِنْهُ إِلَى مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ أَحْصَى لِعَدَدِهِ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ

O Allah^-azwj, and these are days of a month of Ramazan which have expired and its night which are coming to an end, and O my God^-azwj, I have come to what You^-azwj are more Knowing with it than me, and more Precise in counting than the creatures altogether!

‏ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ مَلَائِكَتُكَ الْمُقَرَّبُونَ وَ أَنْبِيَاؤُكَ الْمُرْسَلُونَ وَ عِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفُكَّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَنْ تَتَفَضَّلَ عَلَيَّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ تَتَقَبَّلَ تَقَرُّبِي وَ تَسْتَجِيبَ دُعَائِي وَ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِالْأَمْنِ يَوْمَ الْخَوْفِ مِنْ كُلِّ هَوْلٍ أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

I ask You^-azwj with what was asked by Your^-azwj Angels of Proximity, and Your^-azwj Messenger Prophets^-as, and Your^-azwj righteous servants, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Free my neck from the Hellfire, and Admit me into the Paradise by Your^-azwj Mercy, and to Grace upon me with Your^-azwj Pardon, and Your^-azwj Benevolence, and Accept my nearness, and Answer my supplication, and Confer upon me with the security on the day of fear from every horror You^-azwj have Prepared for the Day of Qiyamah!

إِلَهِي وَ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ بِجَلَالِكَ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ لَيَالِيهِ وَ لَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُؤَاخِذُنِي بِهِ أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتَصَّهَا مِنِّي لَمْ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي

My God^-azwj, and I seek Refuge with Your^-azwj Honourable Face, and by Your^-azwj Mighty Majesty, if days of the month of Ramazan and its night terminate and for You^-azwj there would still be a liability before me, or a sin You^-azwj Want to Seize me for, or a misdeed You^-azwj Want to have retaliation from me which You^-azwj have not Forgiven for me!

سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي سَيِّدِي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِذْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ إِنْ كُنْتَ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ فَازْدَدْ عَنِّي رِضًا وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي فَمِنَ الْآنَ فَارْضَ عَنِّي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا أَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ‏ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ- وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ

My Chief, my Chief, my Chief! I ask You^-azwj, O there is no god except You^-azwj when there is no god except You^-azwj! If You^-azwj were Satisfied with me during this month then Increase being Satisfied with me, and if You^-azwj have not been Satisfied with me, then from now be Satisfied with me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones! O Allah^-azwj, O First, O Last, O OneWho does not beget and is not begotten [112:3] And there does not happen to be anyone a match for Him’ [112:4]!’

وَ أَكْثِرْ أَنْ تَقُولَ يَا مُلَيِّنَ الْحَدِيدِ لِدَاوُدَ ع يَا كَاشِفَ الضُّرِّ وَ الْكُرَبِ الْعِظَامِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ع أَيْ مُفَرِّجَ هَمِّ يَعْقُوبَ ع أَيْ مُنَفِّسَ غَمِّ يُوسُفَ ع صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا أَنْتَ أَهْلٌ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ.

And frequent from saying, ‘O Softener of the iron for Dawood^-as, O Remover of the harm and the mighty distress from Ayoub^-as! Yes, Relievers of worries of Yaqoub^-as! Yes, Reliever of sadness of Yusuf^-as! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww just as You^-azwj are rightful of Sending Salawaat upon them^-asws all, and Do with me what You^‑azwj are Rightful of and do not Do with me what I am rightful (deserving) of!’’[79]

وَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ أُخْرَى عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: تَقُولُ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ- أَعُوذُ بِجَلَالِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ عَنِّي شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الْفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ وَ بَقِيَ لَكَ عِنْدِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُعَذِّبُنِي عَلَيْهِ يَوْمَ أَلْقَاكَ.

And in another report from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘You should say during the last ten of a month of Ramazan, every night, ‘I seek Refuge with the Beauty of Your^‑azwj Honourable Face from the month of Ramazan expiring or the dawn emerging from this night of mine and there still remains for You^-azwj a liability with me, or a sin You^-azwj Want to Punish me on the day I meet You^-azwj!’’[80]

فصل و اعلم أن هذه الرواية بأدعية العشر الأواخر من شهر رمضان تتكرر في كل ليلة منها مفرداتها و مزدوجاتها إن كنت قضيت في هذه الليلة تنزل الملائكة و الروح فيها و من المعلوم من مذهب الإمامية و رواياتهم أن ليلة القدر في الليالي المفردات دون المزدوجات فيحتاج ذكرها في هذه الأدعية في مزدوجات العشر جميعه إلى تأويل

Section – And know that the narration regarding the supplications for the last ten nights of Ramazan mentions the repetition of these supplications on both the odd and even nights. For instance, the supplication, ‘If You^-azwj have Decreed this night as the night the descent of the Angels and the Spirit to descend’, is mentioned. It is well-known from the beliefs and narrations of the Imamites that Laylat Al-Qadr occurs on the odd nights, not the even ones. Thus, the inclusion of this mention in the supplications for the even nights throughout the ten requires interpretation.

فأقول إنه إن كان يمكن أن يكون المقصود بذكرها في جميع ليالي العشر ستر هذه الليلة من أعدائهم و إبهامهم أنهم ما يعرفونها كما كنا قد بيناه أو يكون المراد إن كنت قضيت في الليالي المزدوجات أن يكون ليلة القدر في الليالي المفردات

I say that it could be possible that the purpose in mentioning these in entirety of the ten nights was to cover these nights from their^-asws enemies and confusing them so they would not know, just as we have explained, or the intent could be, ‘If You^-azwj have Decreed during the even nights that it could be Laylat Al-Qadr during the odd nights’.

أو يكون إن كنت قضيت نزول الملائكة إلى موضع خاص من السماء في الليالي المزدوجات و يتكمل نزولهم إلى الدنيا في الليالي المفردات أو يكون له تأويل غير ما ذكرناه.

Or it could be, ‘If You^-azwj have Decreed descent of the Angels to a specific place from the sky during the even nights, and complete their descend to the world during the odd nights’. Or there could be (another) interpretation for it other than what we have mentioned.

فصل و إن أسرار خواص الله جل جلاله و نوابه ما يتطلع كل أحد على حقيقة معناه.

Section – And surely secrets of the special ones of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and its interpretation is not noticed (understood) by every one upon the realities of its meaning.

فصل و ذكر أبو جعفر محمد بن بابويه في كتاب من لا يحضره الفقيه أدعية العشر الأواخر من شهر رمضان من نوادر محمد بن أبي عمير عن الصادق ع و لم يذكر فيها إن كنت قضيت بل يقول أن تجعل في هذه الليلة اسمي في السعداء و روحي مع الشهداء و تمام الدعاء.

Section – And it is mentioned by Abu Ja’far Muhammad Bin Babuwayh in the book ‘Man La Yahzar Al Faqeeh’, supplication of the last ten (nights) of a month of Ramazan, from the miscellaneous of Muhammad Bin Abu Umeyr, from Al Sadiq^-asws, and he did not mention in it, ‘If You^-azwj have Decreed’, but he says, ‘Make in this night my name to be among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs’, and the complete supplication.

فصل فيما يختص باليوم الحادي و العشرين من دعاء رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الطِّرَازِيُّ قَالَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْبَاقِي بْنِ بزداد [يَزْدَادَ] أَيَّدَهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ وَهْبَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْبَصْرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ جُمْهُورٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ قَالَ:

Section – Among what is specific with the 21^st day is a supplication reported by Muhammad Bin Ali Al Tarazy who said, from Abdul Baqi Bin Yazdad, may Allah^-azwj Support him, said, ‘I am informed by Abu Abdullah Muhammad Bin Wahban Bin Muhammad Al Basry who said, ‘We are narrated to by Abu Ali Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Jamhour who said, ‘It is narrated to us by my father, from his father Muhammad, from Hammad Bin Isa, from Hammad Bin Usman who said,

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع- لَيْلَةَ إِحْدَى وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَقَالَ لِي يَا حَمَّادُ اغْتَسَلْتَ

‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah^-asws on the night of the 21^st of a month of Ramazan. He^-asws said to me: ‘O Hammad, have you bathed?’

قُلْتُ نَعَمْ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ

I said, ‘Yes, may I be sacrificed for you^-asws!’

فَدَعَا بِحَصِيرٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِلَى لِزْقِي فَصَلِّ

He^-asws called for a mat, then said: ‘To my^-asws side and pray Salat!’

فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُصَلِّي وَ أَنَا أُصَلِّي إِلَى لِزْقِهِ حَتَّى فَرَغْنَا مِنْ جَمِيعِ صَلَاتِنَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ يَدْعُو وَ أَنَا أُؤَمِّنُ عَلَى دُعَائِهِ إِلَى أَنِ اعْتَرَضَ الْفَجْرُ فَأَذَّنَ وَ أَقَامَ وَ دَعَا بَعْضَ غِلْمَانِهِ فَقُمْنَا خَلْفَهُ فَتَقَدَّمَ وَ صَلَّى بِنَا الْغَدَاةَ

He^-asws did not cease to pray and I prayed Salat to his^-asws side until we were free from the entirety of our Salat(s). Then he^-asws took to supplicating and I kept saying ‘Ameen’ upon his^-asws supplication until the dawn presented. He^-asws proclaimed Azaan and Iqaama and call one of his^-asws servants. We stood behind him^-asws and he^-asws proceeded and prayed Salat with us, the morning Salat.

فَقَرَأَ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْأُولَى وَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الثَّانِيَةَ- بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَلَمَّا فَرَغْنَا مِنَ التَّسْبِيحِ وَ التَّحْمِيدِ وَ التَّقْدِيسِ وَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ص وَ الدُّعَاءِ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ خَرَّ سَاجِداً لَا أَسْمَعُ مِنْهُ إِلَّا النَّفَسَ سَاعَةً طَوِيلَةً

He^-asws read Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al-Qadr in the first unit, and in the second unit with Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al Tawheed. When we were free from the glorifying, and the praising, and extolling the Holiness, and the Lauding upon Allah^-azwj the Exalted, and the Salawaat upon His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and the supplicating for the entirety of the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the former ones and the latter ones, he^-asws fell in Sajdah. I did not hear from him^-asws except the breathing for a long time.

ثُمَّ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَالِقَ الْخَلْقِ بِلَا حَاجَةٍ فِيكَ إِلَيْهِمْ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُبْدِئَ الْخَلْقِ لَا يَنْقُصُ عَنْ مُلْكِكَ شَيْ‏ءٌ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ بَاعِثَ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُدَبِّرَ الْأُمُورِ-

Then I heard him^-asws saying: ‘There is no god except You^-azwj, Turner of the hearts and the sights! There is no god except You^-azwj, Creator of the creation without there being any need for You^-azwj to them! There is no god except You^-azwj, Initiator of the creation, nothing reduces from Your^-azwj Kingdom! There is no god except You^-azwj Resurrector of ones in the graves! There is no god except You^-azwj Manager of the affairs!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ دَيَّانَ الدِّينِ وَ جَبَّارَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُجْرِيَ الْمَاءِ فِي الصَّخْرَةِ الصَّمَّاءِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُجْرِيَ الْمَاءِ فِي النَّبَاتِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُكَوِّنَ طَعْمِ الثِّمَارِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ‏ مُحْصِيَ عَدَدِ الْقَطْرِ وَ مَا تَحْمِلُهُ السَّحَابُ-

There is no god except You^-azwj, Judge of the religion and Subduer of the tyrants! There is no god except You^-azwj, Burster of the water in the solid rocks! There is no god except You^-azwj, Flower of the water in the vegetation! There is no god except You^-azwj Creator of taste of the fruits! There is no god except You^-azwj Enumerator of number of drops and what the clouds carry!

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُحْصِيَ عَدَدِ مَا تَجْرِي بِهِ الرِّيَاحُ فِي الْهَوَاءِ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُحْصِي مَا فِي الْبِحَارِ مِنْ رَطْبٍ وَ يَابِسٍ- لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ مُحْصِيَ مَا يَدِبُّ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبِحَارِ وَ فِي أَطْبَاقِ الثَّرَى

There is no god except You^-azwj, Enumerator of what the winds flow with in the air! There is no god except You^-azwj, Enumerator of what is in the oceans, from wet and dry! There is no god except You^-azwj, Enumerator of what crawls in the darkness of the oceans and in the layers of soil!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ سَمَّاكَ بِهِ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٍ أَوْ شَهِيدٍ أَوْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ مَلَائِكَتِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي إِذَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ أَجَبْتَ وَ إِذَا سُئِلْتَ بِهِ أَعْطَيْتَ

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name which You^-azwj have Named Yourself^-azwj with, or You^-azwj have Preferred with in knowledge of the unseen with You^-azwj, and I ask You^-azwj with every Name anyone from Your^-azwj creatures has Named You^-azwj with, either from a Prophet^-as, or truthful, or martyr, or anyone of Your^-azwj Angels, and I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name which, whenever supplicated with, is Answered, and whenever requested with, is Granted!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَ بِحَقِّهِمُ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَهُ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ وَ أَنَلْتَهُمْ بِهِ فَضْلَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُولِكَ الدَّاعِي إِلَيْكَ بِإِذْنِكَ وَ سِرَاجِكَ السَّاطِعِ بَيْنَ عِبَادِكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَمَائِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ رَحْمَةً لِلْعَالَمِينَ وَ نُوراً اسْتَضَاءَ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ

And I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Right upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon them^-asws, and Your^-azwj Blessings, and by their^-asws rights which You^-azwj have Obligated upon Yourself, and Given them^-asws Your^-azwj Grace due to it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj Rasool^-saww, the caller to You^-azwj with Your^-azwj Permission, and Your^-azwj shining lamp between Your^-azwj servants in Your^-azwj earth and Your^-azwj skies, and You^-azwj Made him^-saww a mercy for the worlds, and a light the Momineen can be illuminated with!

فَبَشِّرَنَا بِجَزِيلِ ثَوَابِكَ وَ أَنْذَرَنَا الْأَلِيمَ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ جاءَ بِالْحَقِّ وَ صَدَّقَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ‏ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوهُ ذَائِقُو الْعَذَابِ الْأَلِيمِ

Give us glad tidings of Your^-azwj plentiful Rewards, and Warn us of Your painful Punishment! I testify that he^-saww had come with the truth and the ratified the Messengers^-as, and I testify that those who belied him^-as will be tasting the painful Punishment!

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا رَبَّاهْ يَا سَيِّدِي يَا سَيِّدِي يَا سَيِّدِي يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا مَوْلَايَ أَسْأَلُكَ فِي هَذِهِ الْغَدَاةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ أَوْفَرِ عِبَادِكَ وَ سَائِلِيكَ نَصِيباً وَ أَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

I ask You^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj, O Allah^-azwj O Allah^-azwj! O Lord^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj, O Lord^-azwj! O my Chief, O my Chief, O my Chief! O my Master, O my Master, O my Master! I ask You^-azwj in this morning to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make me from Your^-azwj servant and Your^-azwj beggar with the most plentiful of share, and to Confer upon me with Freeing my neck from the Hellfire, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِجَمِيعِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ مَا لَمْ أَسْأَلْكَ مِنْ عَظِيمِ جَلَالِكَ مَا لَوْ عَلِمْتُهُ لَسَأَلْتُكَ بِهِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لِفَرَجِ مَنْ بِفَرَجِهِ فَرَجُ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بِهِ تُبِيدُ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ تُهْلِكُهُمْ

And I ask You^-azwj with entirety of what I am asking You^-azwj and what I have not asked You^-azwj of Your^-azwj Mighty Majesty what, what if I had known I would has asked You^-azwj by it, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww, and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, and to Permit for relief of the one whose relief would bring happiness to Your^-azwj friends, and Your^-azwj elites from Your^-azwj creatures, and by it You^-azwj Demolish the unjust ones and destroy them!

عَجِّلْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا سَأَلْتُكَ لِعَاجِلِ الدُّنْيَا وَ آجِلِ الْآخِرَةِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَقْرَبُ إِلَيَّ مِنْ حَبْلِ الْوَرِيدِ أَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي وَ اقْلِبْنِي بِقَضَاءِ حَوَائِجِي يَا خَالِقِي وَ يَا رَازِقِي وَ يَا بَاعِثِي وَ يَا مُحْيِيَ عِظَامِي وَ هِيَ رَمِيمٌ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْتَجِبْ لِي دُعَائِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Hasten that, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and Grant me my request O Possessor of the Majesty and the Benevolence regarding whatever I am asking You^-azwj of the current world and the future Hereafter! O the One^-azwj Who is Nearer to me than the jugular vein, Uproot my stumbles and Turn me with Fulfilling my needs, O my Provider, and O my Resurrector, and O Reviver of my bones and these will be decayed! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and Answer my supplication for me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ سَمِعْتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ تَدْعُو بِفَرَجِ مَنْ بِفَرَجِهِ فَرَجُ أَصْفِيَاءِ اللَّهِ وَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ أَ وَ لَسْتَ أَنْتَ هُوَ

When he^-asws was free, he^-asws raised his^-asws head. I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for You^-azwj! I heard you^-asws supplication for relief of one with whose relief would make happy elites of Allah^-azwj and his^-azwj friends! Aren’t you^-asws he?’

قَالَ لَا ذَاكَ قَائِمُ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع-

He^-asws said: ‘No, that is Qaim^-ajfj of Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww!’

قُلْتُ فَهَلْ لِخُرُوجِهِ عَلَامَةٌ

I said, ‘Is there any sign of his^-ajfj emergence?’

قَالَ نَعَمْ كُسُوفُ الشَّمْسِ عِنْدَ طُلُوعِهَا ثُلُثَيْ سَاعَةٍ مِنَ النَّهَارِ- وَ خُسُوفُ الْقَمَرِ [فِي‏] ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ وَ فِتْنَةٌ يُظِلُّ أَهْلَ مِصْرَ الْبَلَاءُ وَ قَطْعُ النِّيلِ اكْتَفِ بِمَا بَيَّنْتُ لَكَ وَ تَوَقَّعْ أَمْرَ صَاحِبِكَ لَيْلَكَ وَ نَهَارَكَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ‏ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ فِي شَأْنٍ‏ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْنٍ ذَلِكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَ بِهِ تَحْصِينُ أَوْلِيَائِهِ وَ هُمْ لَهُ خَائِفُونَ.

He^-asws said: ‘Yes, the eclipse of the sun at its emergence two-thirds of an hour from the day, and the eclipse of the moon during 23^rd, and Fitna of the affliction shading the people of Egypt, and termination of the Nile! Suffice with what I^-asws have explained to you, and anticipate the command of your Master^-ajfj in your nights and your days, for Allah^-azwj, every day He^-azwj is in a State of Glory! An occupation does not pre-occupy Him^-azwj from (another) occupation. That is Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds, and by Him^-azwj His^-azwj friends and they are fearful of Him^-azwj!’’[81]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ دُعَاءُ الْيَوْمِ الْحَادِي وَ الْعِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ‏ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ السَّمِيعِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ شَيْ‏ءٌ أَسْمَعَ مِنْهُ يَسْمَعُ مِنْ فَوْقِ عَرْشِهِ مَا تَحْتَ سَبْعِ أَرَضِينَ وَ يَسْمَعُ مَا فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ وَ يَسْمَعُ الْأَنِينَ وَ يَسْمَعُ السِّرَّ وَ يَسْمَعُ وَسَاوِسَ الصُّدُورِ وَ يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وَ ما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ وَ لَا يُصِمُّ سَمْعَهُ صَوْتٌ

And from that is a supplication of the day of 21^st of a month of Ramazan – ‘Glorious is Allah^‑azwj Who there isn’t anything more hearing than Him^-azwj! He^-azwj Hears from above His^-azwj Throne what is beneath the seven earths, and He^-azwj Hears what is in darkness of the land and the sea, and He^-azwj Hears the whining, and He^-azwj Hears the secret, and He^-azwj hears the insinuations of the chests, and He^-azwj Knows treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal, and His^-azwj Hearing is not deaf from any sound!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ 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.

Glory be to 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 darknesses and the light! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Creator 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 no seen! Glorious is Allah^‑azwj the extent of His^-azwj Words! Glorious is Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[82]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِي فِيهِ إِلَى مَرْضَاتِكَ دَلِيلًا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّيْطَانِ فِيهِ عَلَيَّ سَبِيلًا وَ اجْعَلِ الْجَنَّةَ مَنْزِلًا لِي وَ مَقِيلًا يَا قَاضِيَ حَوَائِجِ الطَّالِبِينَ.

Another supplication – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make for me during it a pointer to Your^-azwj Satisfaction, and do not Make a way for the Satan^-la to me during it, and Make the Paradise a dwelling for me and resting place, O Fulfiller of needs of the seekers!’’[83]

قل، إقبال الأعمال فيما نذكره من زيادات و دعوات في الليلة الثالثة و العشرين منه و يومها و فيها عدة روايات اعلم أن هذه الليلة الثالثة و العشرين من شهر رمضان وردت أخبار صريحة بأنها ليلة القدر على الكشف و البيان.

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’, among what we are mentioning from the additions, and supplication during the 23^rd night from it, and its day, and in it there are a number of reports. Know that this is 23^rd night of a month of Ramazan, explicit Ahadeeth have arrived that it is Laylat Al-Qadr upon the disclosure and the explanation.

فَمِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى سُفْيَانَ بْنِ السِّمْطِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع أَفْرِدْ لِي لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ قَالَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ.

From that is what we are reporting by our chain to Sufyan Bin Al-Simt who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^-asws, ‘Single our Laylat Al-Qadr for me!’ He^-asws said: ‘Night of 23^rd’’.[84]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى زُرَارَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ بْنِ الْمُخْتَارِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع عَنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ فَقَالَ أُخْبِرُكَ وَ اللَّهِ ثُمَّ لَا أُعَمِّي عَلَيْكَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ السَّبْعِ الْآخِرِ.

And from that what we are reporting by our chain to Zurara from Abdul Wahid Bin Al Mukhtar Al-Ansari who said, ‘I asked Abu Ja’far^-asws about Laylat Al-Qadr. He^-asws said: ‘I^-asws shall inform you, by Allah^-azwj, then there will be no blindness upon you. It is first night from the last seven’’.[85]

أقول: لعله قد أخبر عن شهر كان تسعا و عشرين يوما لأنني ما عرفت أن ليلة أربع و عشرين و هي غير مفردة مما يحتمل أن تكون ليلة القدر و وجدت بعد هذه التأويل في الجزء الثالث من جامع محمد بن الحسن القمي لما روي منه هذا الحديث فقال ما هذا لفظه عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ كَانَ ذَلِكَ الشَّهْرُ تِسْعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ يَوْماً.

I say, it is possible that he^-asws was referring to a month that was of twenty-nine days, as I have not come across any instance where the 24^th night, which is an even night, is considered a potential candidate for Laylat Al-Qadr. I later found this interpretation in the third volume of the compilation by Muhammad ibn Al Hassan Al-Qummi, where this narration is recorded. The text states: Zurara said, ‘That month was twenty-nine days long’.

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى ضَمْرَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ص يَقُولُ‏ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ ثَلَاثٌ وَ عِشْرُونَ.

And from that by our chain to Zamrah Al-Ansari, from his father, he heard the Prophet^-saww saying: ‘Laylat Al-Qadr is 23^rd’’.[86]

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يُوسُفَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ ع يَقُولُ‏ إِنَّ الْجُهَنِيَّ أَتَى إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لِي إِبِلًا وَ غَنَماً وَ غِلْمَةً فَأُحِبُّ أَنْ تَأْمُرَنِي لَيْلَةً أَدْخُلُ فِيهَا فَأَشْهَدُ الصَّلَاةَ وَ ذَلِكَ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص فَسَارَّهُ فِي أُذُنِهِ

And from that is what we are reporting by our chain as well to Hammad Bin Isa, from Muhammad Bin Yusuf, from his father who said, ‘I heard Abu Ja’far^-asws saying: ‘Al Juhanny came to Rasool-Allah^-saww. He said, ‘O Rasool-Allah^-saww! For me there are camels and sheep and servants. I would love it if you^-asws could instruct me for a night I can enter so I can attend the Salat!’, and that was during a month of Ramazan. Rasool-Allah^-saww called him and divulged into his ear’.

قَالَ فَكَانَ الْجُهَنِيُّ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ دَخَلَ بِإِبِلِهِ وَ غَنَمِهِ وَ أَهْلِهِ وَ وُلْدِهِ وَ غِلْمَتِهِ فَكَانَ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةُ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا أَصْبَحَ خَرَجَ بِأَهْلِهِ وَ غَنَمِهِ وَ إِبِلِهِ إِلَى مَكَانِهِ وَ اسْمُ الْجُهَنِيِّ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أُنَيْسٍ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ.

He^-asws said: ‘It so happened that whenever it was night of 23^rd Al-Juhanny would enter with his camels and his sheep and his wife, and his children, and his servants. That night was the nights of 23^rd at Al-Medina. When it was morning he would go out with his family, and his sheep, and his camels to his place; and the name of Al Juhanny was Abdul Rahman Bin Uneys Al-Ansari’’.[87]

وَ رَوَى أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ فِي كِتَابِ الصِّيَامِ وَ الْقِيَامِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ‏ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص كَانَ يَرُشُّ عَلَى أَهْلِهِ الْمَاءَ- لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ يَعْنِي مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ.

And it is reported by Abu Nueym in ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, by his chain that the Prophet^-saww used to sprinkle the water upon his^-saww family members on the night of 23^rd, meaning of a month of Ramazan’’.[88]

و من الزيادات في ليلة ثلاث و عشرين من شهر رمضان فمنها الغسل روينا ذلك بعدة طرق مِنْهَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى بُرَيْدِ بْنِ مُعَاوِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: رَأَيْتُهُ اغْتَسَلَ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَرَّةً فِي أَوَّلِ اللَّيْلِ وَ مَرَّةً فِي آخِرِهِ.

And from the additional during night of 23^rd of a month of Ramazan. From these is the ritual bathing. We are reporting that by a number of paths. From these is by our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, by his chain to Bureyd Bin Muawiya, from Abu Abdullah^-asws, he (the narrator) said, ‘I saw him^-asws bathing during night of 23^rd of a month of Ramazan, once in the beginning of the night and once in its end’’.[89]

و منها المائة ركعة و أدعيتها على إحدى الروايتين أو المائة و ثلاثون على رواية أخرى بأدعيتها و قد تقدم وصف هذه المائة عشرون منها في أول ليلة من شهر رمضان بدعواتها و ثمانون ركعة في ليلة تسع عشرة بضراعاتها فتؤخذ من هناك على ما قدمنا من صفاتها.

And from these is the one hundred units (Salat) and their supplication upon one of the two report, or the one hundred and thirty (units Salat) upon another report by their supplication, and we have forwarded the description of these one hundred, being twenty of these in the first night of a month of Ramazan with their supplications, and eighty units during night of the 19^th with their beseeching, so take from here based upon what we have forwarded from their descriptions.

و منها نشر المصحف الشريف و دعاؤه و قد ذكرناه في ليلة تسع عشرة و منها الدعوات المتكررة في كل ليلة في أول الليل و آخره و قد تقدم وصفها في أول ليلة منه.

And from these is spreading the noble Quran and its supplication, and we have mentioned it regarding night of the 19^th, and from these are the supplication repeated during every night, in beginning of the night and its end, and its description has preceded in the first night from it.

و منها دعاء وجدناه في كتب أصحابنا العتيقة و هو في ليلة ثلاث و عشرين‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ الشَّكُّ فِي أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِيهَا أَوْ فِيمَا تَقَدَّمَهَا وَاقِعٌ فَإِنَّهُ فِيكَ وَ فِي وَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ تَزْكِيَتِكَ الْأَعْمَالَ زَائِلٌ وَ فِي أَيِّ اللَّيَالِي تَقَرَّبَ مِنْكَ الْعَبْدُ لَمْ‏ تُبْعِدْهُ وَ قَبِلْتَهُ وَ أَخْلَصَ فِي سُؤَالِكَ لَمْ تَرُدَّهُ وَ أَجَبْتَهُ وَ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ شَكَرْتَهُ وَ رَفَعَ إِلَيْكَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ ذَخَرْتَهُ

And from these, is a supplication we found in the ancient books of our companions, and it is during night of the 23^rd – ‘O Allah^-azwj! If there was doubt regarding the Laylat Al-Qadr being in it, or it occurred in what have preceded it, then surely regarding You^-azwj, and Your^-azwj Oneness, and Your^-azwj Purifying the transitory deeds, and whichever of the night the servant draws closer to You^-azwj, You^-azwj do not Distance him and Accept him, and is sincere in requests You^-azwj do not Return him, and the righteous deeds You^-azwj Appreciate, and Elevate to You^‑azwj what Pleases You^-azwj, so You^-azwj Store it!

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَمْدِدْنِي فِيهَا بِالْعَوْنِ عَلَى مَا يُزْلِفُ لَدَيْكَ وَ خُذْ بِنَاصِيَتِي إِلَى مَا فِيهِ الْقُرْبَى إِلَيْكَ وَ أَسْبِغْ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ سَعْيِي وَ رَقِّ لِي مِنْ جُودِكَ بِخَيْرَاتِهَا عَطِيَّتِي وَ ابْتُرْ عَيْلَتِي مِنْ ذُنُوبِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ وَ مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِسَعَةِ الرَّحْمَةِ

O Allah^-azwj! Assist me during it with the support upon what would draw me closer to You^-azwj, and Hold and Seize me with my forelock to what in it would be the drawing closer to You^-azwj, and Perfect my striving in the actions in the two houses (world and the Hereafter), and Be Kind to me from Your^-azwj Generosity with Giving me its goodness, and Cut off my burden of my sins with the repentance, and from my misdeeds with vastness of the Mercy!

وَ اغْفِرْ لِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ غُفْرَانَ مُتَنَزِّهٍ عَنْ عُقُوبَةِ الضُّعَفَاءِ رَحِيمٍ بِذَوِي الْفَاقَةِ وَ الْفُقَرَاءِ جَادٍ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ شَفِيقٍ بِخُضُوعِهِمْ وَ ذِلَّتِهِمْ رَفِيقٍ لَا تَنْقُصُهُ الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا يُفْقِرُهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِمْ مِنْ صَنِيعِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ

And Forgive for me in this night, and for my parents and for the entirety of the believing men and the believing women, a Forgiveness removing from Punishment of the needy. Mercy the ones with destitution and the poor! Be Generous to Your^-azwj servants, Compassionate due to their humbleness and their submissiveness, as a Friend whom the charity does not reduce Him^-azwj nor does it impoverish Him^-azwj what He^-azwj Enriches them from His^-azwj Dealings with them!

اللَّهُمَّ اقْضِ دَيْنِي وَ دَيْنَ كُلِّ مَدْيُونٍ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَكْرُوبٍ وَ أَصْلِحْنِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي وَ أَصْلِحْ كُلَّ فَاسِدٍ وَ انْفَعْ مِنِّي وَ اجْعَلْ فِي الْحَلَالِ الطَّيِّبِ الْهَنِي‏ءِ الْكَثِيرِ السَّائِغِ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ عَيْشَتِي وَ مِنْهُ لِبَاسِي وَ فِيهِ مُنْقَلَبِي

O Allah^-azwj! Pay off my debts and debts of every indebted one, and Relive from me and from every distressed one, and Rectify me and my wife and my children, and Rectify every spoilt (matter) and let there be benefits from me, and Make Your^-azwj sustenance of my lie be in the Permissible, the good, the pleasant, the abundant, the plentiful, and from it be my clothing, and in it be my turning!

وَ اقْبِضْ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ يَدِي مِنْ غَيْرِ قَطْعٍ وَ لَا شَلٍّ وَ لِسَانِي مِنْ غَيْرِ خَرَسٍ وَ أُذُنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ صَمَمٍ وَ عَيْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمًى وَ رِجْلِي مِنْ غَيْرِ زَمَانَةٍ وَ فَرْجِي مِنْ غَيْرِ إِحْبَالٍ وَ بَطْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجَعٍ وَ سَائِرِ أَعْضَائِي مِنْ غَيْرِ خَلَلٍ

و من الدعاء في ليلة ثلاث و عشرين و قد تقدم نحوه في ليلة تسع عشرة عن مولانا الكاظم ع و هذا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ يَقُولُ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ فِيمَا تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ فِيمَا تَفْرُقُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ فِي عَامِي هَذَا الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمْ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمْ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمْ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تُقَدِّرُ وَ فِيمَا تَقْضِي أَنْ تُطِيلَ عُمُرِي وَ تُوَسِّعَ لِي فِي رِزْقِي.

And from the supplication during the night of the 23^rd, and it has preceded approximate to it regarding night of 19^th from our Master Al-Kazim^-asws, and we are reporting this by our chain to Umar Bin Yazeed, from Abu Abdullah^-asws saying: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Make among the Ordained matters what You^-azwj have Decreed and among what You^-azwj have Determined, and among what wise matters You^-azwj have Distinguished during Laylat Al-Qadr, from the Decree which can neither be repelled nor replaced, to Write me as being from the pilgrims of Your^-azwj Sacred House during this year of mine, their Hajj accomplished, their striving Appreciated, their sins Forgiven, their evils deeds expiated from them, and Make among what You^-azwj have Determined and among what You^-azwj have Decreed, to Prolong my lifespan and Expand my sustenance for me!’’[98]

أقول: و هذا الدعاء ذكره محمد بن أبي قرة في دعاء ليلة ثلاث و عشرين و أورد حديثا عن عمر بن يزيد عن أبي عبد الله ع أن هذا الدعاء من أدعية ليلة القدر.

I say, ‘And this supplication has been mentioned by Muhammad Bin Abu Qurra among supplication on the night of 23^rd, and a Hadeeth has been refereed from Umar Bin Yazeed, from Abu Abdullah^-asws that this supplication is from supplications of Laylat Al-Qadr’.

و من زيادات ليلة ثلاث و عشرين القراءة فيها لسورة العنكبوت و سورة الروم نَرْوِي ذَلِكَ بِعِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْعَنْكَبُوتِ وَ الرُّومِ فِي لَيْلَةِ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ فَهُوَ وَ اللَّهِ يَا بَا مُحَمَّدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ- لَا أَسْتَثْنِي فِيهِ أَبَداً وَ لَا أَخَافُ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَيَّ فِي يَمِينِي إِثْماً وَ إِنَّ لِهَاتَيْنِ السُّورَتَيْنِ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى مَكَاناً

And from the additional on the night of the 23^rd are the readings in it of Surah Al Ankabout, and Surah Al Roum. We are reporting that by a number of paths from Al Sadiq^-asws having said: ‘One who reads Surahs Al Ankabout and Al Roum during night of the 23^rd, so he would be by Allah^-azwj, O by Muhammad^-saww, from people of the Paradise, there being no exceptions in it, forever, and I don’t fear that Allah^-azwj the Exalted would Write a sin against me regarding my oath, and for these two Chapters there is a position from Allah^-azwj the Exalted!’

وَ مِنَ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِيهَا سُورَةُ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ وَ قَدْ تَقَدَّمَتْ رِوَايَةٌ لِذَلِكَ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْأَوْلَى عُمُوماً فِي الشَّهْرِ كُلِّهِ.

And from the readings during it is Surah Al-Qadr once, and a report has preceded for that during the first night, generally in the month, all of it’’.[99]

و روينا تخصيص قراءتها في هذه الليلة بعدة طرق إلى مولانا أبي عبد الله ع قَالَ: لَوْ قَرَأَ رَجُلٌ لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ- إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ لَأَصْبَحَ وَ هُوَ شَدِيدُ الْيَقِينِ بِالاعْتِرَافِ بِمَا يَخْتَصُّ فِينَا وَ مَا ذَاكَ إِلَّا لِشَيْ‏ءٍ عَايَنَهُ فِي نَوْمِهِ.

And we are reporting its specific recitation during this night by a number of paths to our Master Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘If a man were to read on the night of 23^rd of a month of Ramazan, Surah Al-Qadr a thousand times, he would wake up in the morning and he would be of intense conviction with what is specific regarding us, and that would not be except for something he would have witnessed during his sleep!’’[100]

دُعَاءُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع‏ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ يَا بَاطِناً فِي ظُهُورِهِ وَ يَا ظَاهِراً فِي بُطُونِهِ يَا بَاطِناً لَيْسَ يَخْفَى يَا ظَاهِراً لَيْسَ يُرَى يَا مَوْصُوفاً لَا يَبْلُغُ بِكَيْنُونِيَّتِهِ مَوْصُوفٌ وَ لَا حَدٌّ مَحْدُودٌ يَا غَائِباً غَيْرَ مَفْقُودٍ وَ يَا شَاهِداً غَيْرَ مَشْهُودٍ يُطْلَبُ فَيُصَابُ وَ لَمْ يَخْلُ مِنْهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ-

A supplication by Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws during Laylat Al-Qadr: ‘O Hidden in His^-azwj Manifestation, O Manifest in His^-azwj Concealment, O Hidden yet not obscured, O Manifest yet unseen, O One described yet no description fully encompasses His^-azwj Essence, nor is He^-azwj Confined by any limit. O Absent yet never lost, O Present yet not perceivable by sight. He^-azwj is sought and found, and neither the skies, the earth, nor anything between them is ever void of Him^-azwj for even the blink of an eye!

لَا يُدْرَكُ بِكَيْفٍ وَ لَا يُؤَيَّنُ بِأَيْنٍ وَ لَا بِحَيْثٍ أَنْتَ نُورُ النُّورِ وَ رَبُّ الْأَرْبَابِ أَحَطْتَ بِجَمِيعِ الْأُمُورِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ‏ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا وَ لَا هَكَذَا غَيْرُهُ ثُمَّ تَدْعُو بِمَا تُرِيدُ.

He^-azwj can neither be realised by ‘how’, nor defined by ‘where’, nor by location! You^-azwj are Light of the lights, and Lord^-azwj of the lords Encompassing the entirety of the matters! Glorious is the One there isn’t anything like Him^-azwj and He^-azwj is the Hearing, the Seeing! Glorious is the One Who is like this, and there is no one like this apart from Him^-azwj!’ – then supplicate with whatever you want’’.[101]

و من زيادات عمل ليلة ثلاث و عشرين من شهر رمضان زيارة الحسين صلوات الله عليه رَوَيْنَاهَا مِنْ كِتَابِ عَمَلِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ لِعَلِيِّ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْوَاحِدِ النَّهْدِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ وَ قَالَ وَ كَتَبْتُهُ مِنْ أَصْلِ كِتَابِهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ خَلِيلِ بْنِ فَرْحَانَ بِأَحْمَدَآبَادَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَهِيكٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ زُرَيْقٍ عَنْ زَيْدٍ أَبِي أُسَامَةَ

And from additional acts of worship on night of the 23^rd of a month of Ramazan is visitation of Al-Husayn^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-asws! We are reporting it from the book ‘Amal Shahr Ramazan’ of Ali Bin Abdul Wahid Al Nahdy, by his chain to Abu Al Mufazzal, and he said, ‘And I have written it from the original of his book. He said, ‘It is narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Jaleel Bin Farhan at Ahmadabad who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Naheyk who said, ‘It is narrated to me by Al-Abbas Bin Aamir, from Is’haq Bin Zureyq, from Zayd Abu Usama,

عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ ع‏ فِي هَذِهِ‏ الْآيَةِ فِيها يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ‏ قَالَ هِيَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ يُقْضَى فِيهِ أَمْرُ السَّنَةِ مِنْ حَجٍّ وَ عُمْرَةٍ أَوْ رِزْقٍ أَوْ أَمْرٍ أَوْ أَجَلٍ أَوْ سَفَرٍ أَوْ نِكَاحٍ أَوْ وَلَدٍ إِلَى سَائِرِ مَا يُلَاقِي ابْنُ آدَمَ مِمَّا يُكْتَبُ لَهُ أَوْ عَلَيْهِ فِي بَقِيَّةِ ذَلِكَ الْحَوْلِ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ إِلَى مِثْلِهَا مِنْ عَامٍ قَابِلٍ وَ هِيَ فِي الْعَشْرِ الْأَوَاخِرِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

From Abu Abdullah Ja’far^-asws Bin Muhammad^-asws regarding this Verse: During it, every wise matter is made distinct [44:4], he^-asws said: ‘It is Laylat Al-Qadr! During it are the Decreed matters of the year, whether from Hajj and Umrah, or sustenance, or a matter, or death, or journey, or marriage, or a son, up to rest of what is faced by the son of Adam^-as from what is Written for him or against him in the remainder of that year, from that night to its similar the following year, and it is in the last ten of a month of Ramazan.

فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَهَا أَوْ قَالَ شَهِدَهَا عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع يُصَلِّي عِنْدَهُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَوْ مَا تَيَسَّرَ لَهُ وَ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ الْجَنَّةَ وَ اسْتَعَاذَ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَا سَأَلَ وَ أَعَاذَهُ مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ

So, the one who comes across it (or said, ‘or is present) by the grave of Al-Husayn^-asws, should pray two units Salat by it, or whatever is easy for him, and ask Allah^-azwj for the Paradise, and seek Refuge with him^-asws from the Hellfire. Allah^-azwj will Give him what he asks for, and Refuge him from whatever he had sought Refuge from.

وَ كَذَلِكَ إِنْ سَأَلَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى أَنْ يُؤْتِيَهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَا فَرَقَ وَ قَضَى فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ أَنْ يَقِيَهُ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا كَتَبَ فِيهَا أَوْ دَعَا اللَّهَ وَ سَأَلَهُ تَبَارَكَ وَ تَعَالَى فِي أَمْرٍ- لَا إِثْمَ فِيهِ رَجَوْتُ أَنْ يُؤْتَى سُؤْلَهُ وَ يُوقَى مَحَاذِيرَهُ وَ يُشَفَّعَ فِي عَشَرَةٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ كُلِّهِمْ قَدِ اسْتَوْجَبُوا الْعَذَابَ وَ اللَّهُ إِلَى سَائِلِهِ وَ عَبْدِهِ بِالْخَيْرِ أَسْرَعُ.

And like that he should ask Allah^-azwj the Exalted to Give him from goodness of what He^-azwj Distributes and Decrees during that night, and to Save him from evil of what is Written during it, or he should supplicate to Allah^-azwj and ask Him^-azwj, the Blessed and Exalted regarding a matter there remain no sin in it, hoping that he would be Granted his request, and Saved from its hazards, and Interceded regarding ten of his family members, all of them having being obligated the Punishment, and Allah^-azwj is Swift to His^-azwj requester and His^-azwj servant, with the goodness!’’[102]

وَ رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى أَبِي الْمُفَضَّلِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ نَصْرٍ البرسجي [الْبَنْدَنِيجِيُ‏] قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَظِيمِ الْحَسَنِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الثَّانِي فِي حَدِيثٍ قَالَ: مَنْ زَارَ الْحُسَيْنَ ع لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ هِيَ اللَّيْلَةُ الَّتِي يُرْجَى أَنْ تَكُونَ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ فِيها يُفْرَقُ كُلُّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ‏ صَافَحَهُ رُوحُ أَرْبَعَةٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ وَ نَبِيٍّ كُلُّهُمْ يَسْتَأْذِنُ اللَّهَ فِي زِيَارَةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فِي تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةِ.

And we are reporting by our chains as well to Abu Al Mufazzal Muhammad Bin Abdullah Al-Shaybani who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Ali Bin Nast Al-Barsajy who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abdullah Bin Musa, from Abdul Azeem Al-Hasany, from Abu Ja’far^-asws the 2^nd in a Hadeeth. He^-asws said: ‘One who visits Al-Husayn^-asws on night of the 23^rd of a month of Ramazan, and it is the night which it is hoped that it would be Laylat Al-Qadr, During it, every wise matter is made distinct [44:4], twenty-thousand Angels and Prophets^-as will shake his hand, all of them having sought Permission of Allah^-azwj regarding visiting Al-Husayn^-asws during that night!’’[103]

قَالَ وَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالا أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الصَّفَّارِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ مَنْدَلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الصَّبَّاحِ الْكِنَانِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْقَدْرِ يَفْرُقُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كُلَّ أَمْرٍ حَكِيمٍ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ السَّابِعَةِ مِنْ بُطْنَانِ الْعَرْشِ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ قَدْ غَفَرَ لِمَنْ أَتَى قَبْرَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع.

He said, ‘And we are informed by Ahmad Bin Ali Bin Shazan and Is’haq Bin Al-Husayn. They both said, ‘We are informed by Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Bin Al Waleed, from Muhammad Bin Al Hassan Al Saffar, from Ibrahim Bin Hashim, from Mandal, from Abu Al Sabbah Al Kinany,

From Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘When Laylat Al-Qadr occurs, Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic Distinguishes every wise matter. A caller calls out from the seventh sky from the interior of the Throne: ‘Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Forgiven for the one who comes to grave of Al-Husayn^-asws!’’[104]

فصل و لا يمتنع الإنسان في هذه الليلة من دعوات بظهر الغيب لأهل الحق فقد قدمنا في عمل اليوم و الليلة فضائل الدعاء للإخوان و رأينا في القرآن عن إبراهيم ع‏ وَ اغْفِرْ لِأَبِي إِنَّهُ كانَ مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ‏ و روينا دعاء النبي ع لأعدائه-. اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي إِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.

Section – And let a person not hold back on this night from making supplication in absentia for the people of truth. We have already presented in the actions of day and night the virtues of supplicating for one’s brothers. We also see in the Quran, regarding Ibrahim (peace be upon him): And Forgive my father, for he was from the straying ones [26:86], and we are reporting a supplication by the Prophet^-saww against his^-saww enemies – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for my^-saww people, they are not knowing!’

فصل أقول و كنت في ليلة جليلة من شهر رمضان بعد تصنيف هذا الكتاب زمانا و إني أدعو في السحر لمن يجب أو يحسن تقديم الدعاء له و لي و لمن يليق بالتوفيق أن أدعو له

Section – I say that on a Blessed night in the month of Ramazan, some time after compiling this book, I found myself in the pre-dawn hours supplicating for those who deserve or are deserving of being prioritised in supplication, including myself and those it is fitting that I should supplicate for him.

فورد على خاطري أن الجاحدين لله جل جلاله و لنعمته و المستخفين بحرمته و المبدلين لحكمه في عباده و خليقته ينبغي أن يبدأ بالدعاء لهم بالهداية من ضلالتهم فإن جنايتهم على الربوبية و الحكمة الإلهية و الجلالة النبوية أشد من جناية العارفين بالله و بالرسول صلوات الله عليه و آله

It occurred to me that those who deny Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, and His^-azwj bounties, those who belittle His^-azwj Sanctity, and those who distort His^-azwj Judgment among His^-azwj servants and creation, should be prioritised in supplication for guidance from their misguidance. This is because their transgressions against the Divine Lordship, wisdom, and Prophetic dignity are greater than the transgressions of those who know Allah^-azwj and the Rasool^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws!

فيقتضي تعظيم الله و تعظيم جلاله و تعظيم رسوله ص و حقوق هدايته بمقاله و فعاله أن يقدم الدعاء بهداية من هو أعظم ضررا و أشد خطرا حيث تعذر أن يزال ذلك بالجهاد و منعهم من الإلحاد و الفساد.

Thus, reverence of Allah^-azwj and reverence of His^-azwj Majesty, and reverence of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and rights of his^-saww guidance with his^-saww words and actions require that forwarding supplication with guidance of the ones who is a mightier harm, and pose the gravest danger, especially when it is impossible to remove such harm through striving against them or preventing their disbelief and corruption’.

أقول فدعوت لكل ضال عن الله بالهداية إليه و لكل ضال عن الرسول بالرجوع إليه و لكل ضال عن الحق بالاعتراف به و الاعتماد عليه.

I say, ‘So I supplicated for every one lost from Allah^-azwj for being guided to Him^-azwj, and for every one lost from the Rasool^-saww for the returning to him^-saww, and for every one lost from the truth for acknowledging with it and the relying upon it’.

فصل ثم دعوت لأهل التوفيق و التحقيق بالثبوت على توفيقهم و الزيادة في تحقيقهم و دعوت لنفسي و من يعنيني أمره بحسب ما رجوته من الترتيب الذي يكون أقرب إلى من أتضرع إليه و إلى مراد رسوله ص و قد قدمت مهمات الحاجات بحسب ما رجوته أقرب إلى الإجابة.

Section – Then I supplicated for the people of inclination and true understanding, asking for their steadfastness in their guidance and an increase in their realisation of the truth. I also supplicated for myself and for those whose affairs concern me, according to what I hoped would be the proper order, one that is closer to the One to whom I supplicate to and aligned with the intent of His^-azwj Rasool^-saww, and I have forwarded the most important needs based on what I hoped would be closest to achieving an Answer!

فصل أ فلا ترى ما تضمنه مقدس القرآن من شفاعة إبراهيم ع في أهل الكفران فقال الله جل جلاله‏ يُجادِلُنا فِي قَوْمِ لُوطٍ إِنَّ إِبْراهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّاهٌ مُنِيبٌ‏ فمدحه جل جلاله على حلمه و شفاعته و مجادلته في قوم لوط الذين قد بلغ كفرهم إلى تعجيل نقمته.

Section – Don’t you see what the Holy Quran includes of the intercession by Ibrahim regarding the people of disbelief. Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty Said: he pleaded to Us for the people of Lut [11:74] Surely Ibrahim was forbearing, tender-hearted, repenting [11:75]. The Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty Praise him^-as upon his^-as forbearance and his^-as intercession and his^‑as pleading regarding the people of Lut^-as, those whose Kufr had reach to hastening the scourge.

فصل أ ما رأيت ما تضمنته أخبار صاحب الرسالة و هو قدوة أهل الجلالة كيف كان كلما آذاه قومه الكفار و بالغوا فيما يفعلون. قَالَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِقَوْمِي فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ.

Section – Have you not observed what is conveyed in the reports about bearer of the Message, the exemplar for the people of majesty, and how he would respond whenever his people, the disbelievers, harmed him and went to great lengths in their actions against him. He^-saww, may Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws: ‘O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for my people for they are not knowing!’’

فصل أ ما رأيت الحديث عن عيسى ع كن كالشمس تطلع على البر و الفاجر و قول نبينا صلوات الله عليه و آله اصنع الخير إلى أهله و إلى غير أهله فإن لم يكن أهله فكن أنت أهله

Section – Have you not see the Hadeeth from Isa^-as: ‘Be like the sun emerging upon righteous and the immoral and words of our Prophet^-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^‑saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws: ‘Do the good to its rightful and the non-righteous. If he does not happen to be its rightful, then you be its righteous’.

و قد تضمن ترجيح مقام المحسنين إلى المسيئين قوله جل جلاله‏ لا يَنْهاكُمُ اللَّهُ عَنِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يُقاتِلُوكُمْ فِي الدِّينِ وَ لَمْ يُخْرِجُوكُمْ مِنْ دِيارِكُمْ أَنْ تَبَرُّوهُمْ وَ تُقْسِطُوا إِلَيْهِمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْمُقْسِطِينَ‏ و يكفي أن محمدا ص بعث رحمة للعالمين.

And it includes superiority of the position of the good doers to the evil doers by Words of the Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty: Allah does not Forbid you about those who did not fight against you regarding the Religion and did not throw you out from your houses, from being righteous with them and being fair to them. Surely Allah Loves the equitable people [60:8], and it suffices that Muhammad^-saww was Send as mercy for the worlds!’

فصل و مما نذكره من فضل إحياء ليلة القدر مَا ذَكَرَهُ الشَّيْخُ الْفَاضِلُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الدُّورْيَسْتِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِ الْحُسْنَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مُوسَى بْنِ الْمُتَوَكِّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْكُوفِيُّ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ الْجَرِيشِ الرَّازِيِّ

Section – And from what we are mentioning of the merits of reviving Laylat Al-Qadr, and what is mentioned by the meritorious sheykh Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al-Abbas Bin Muhammad Bin Al-Dowreysti, may Allah^-azwj Mercy him, in the book ‘Al-Husna’. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Muhammad Bin Ali who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Musa Bin Al-Mutawakkil who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Abu Abdullah Al-Kufy, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Al-Hassan Bin Al-Abbas Bin Al-Jareysh Al-Razy,

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع عَنْ آبَائِهِ عَنِ الْبَاقِرِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ غُفِرَتْ لَهُ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ لَوْ كَانَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ عَدَدَ نُجُومِ السَّمَاءِ وَ مَثَاقِيلَ الْجِبَالِ وَ مَكَايِيلَ الْبِحَارِ.

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza^-asws, from his^-asws forefathers^‑asws, from Al-Baqir Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali^-asws having said: ‘One who revives Lalyat Al-Qadr (holds vigil), his sins will be Forgiven for him, and even if his sins were the number of stars of the sky, and weights of the mountains, and measures of the oceans!’’[105]

وَ مِنَ الْكِتَابِ الْحُسْنَى الْمَذْكُورِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ السَّكُونِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْقَطَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ السَّكُونِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا الْجَوْهَرِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ الْجُعْفِيِّ

And from the mentioned book ‘Al Husna’ – ‘It is narrated to me by my father, from Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Sakuni who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Ahmad Bin Al Hassan Al Qattan who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Al-Hassan Bin Ali Al-Sakuni who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Muhammad Bin Zakariya Al-Jowhari who said, ‘It is narrated to us by Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Umara, from his father, from Jabir Bin Yazeed Al-Jufy,

عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْبَاقِرِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ صَلَّى فِيهِ مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ وَسَّعَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَعِيشَتَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ كَفَاهُ أَمْرَ مَنْ يُعَادِيهِ وَ أَعَاذَهُ مِنَ الْغَرَقِ وَ الْهَدْمِ وَ السَّرَقِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ السِّبَاعِ وَ دَفَعَ عَنْهُ هَوْلَ مُنْكَرٍ وَ نَكِيرٍ

‘From Abu Ja’far Muhammad^-asws Bin Ali Al-Baqir^-asws having said: ‘One who revives night of 23^rd of a month of Ramazan, and pray during it Salat of one hundred units, Allah^-azwj will Expand his livelihood upon him in the world and the Hereafter, and Suffice him of the matter of the one being hostile to  him, and Refuge him from the drowning, and being crushed, and the theft, and from the evil predators, and Repel from him horrors of Munkar and Nakeer.

وَ خَرَجَ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ نُورٌ يَتَلَأْلَأُ لِأَهْلِ الْجَمْعِ وَ يُعْطَى كِتَابَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ وَ يُكْتَبُ لَهُ بَرَاءَةٌ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ جَوَازٌ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ وَ أَمَانٌ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ وَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَ يُجْعَلُ فِيهَا مِنْ رُفَقَاءِ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ حَسُنَ أُولئِكَ رَفِيقاً.

And a light will emerge from his grave shining the crowd, and he will be given his book (register of deeds) in his right hand, and it shall be written for him freedom from the Hellfire, and permission to cross over the Bridge, and security from the Punishment, and he will enter the Paradise without Reckoning, and therein he will be made to be among friends of the Prophets and the Truthful and the Martyrs and the Righteous; and a goodly company are they! [4:69]!’’[106]

و من زيادات ليلة ثلاث و عشرين قراءة سورة الدخان فيها و في كل ليلة و قد قدمنا الرواية بذلك في أول ليلة و أن تحيا بالعبادة كما قدمناه.

And from additional of night of the 23^rd reading Surah Al-Dukhan during it, and during every night, and we have forwarded the report of that regarding the first night, and to revive with the worship just as we have forwarded.

و مما رويناه في تعظيم فضلها و إحيائها أيضا مَا رَوَاهُ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَمِيلٍ وَ هِشَامٍ وَ حَفْصٍ قَالُوا مَرِضَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع مَرَضاً شَدِيداً فَلَمَّا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ ثَلَاثٍ وَ عِشْرِينَ أَمَرَ مَوَالِيَهُ فَحَمَلُوهُ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَكَانَ فِيهِ لَيْلَتَهُ.

And from what we are reporting regarding reverence of its merits and its revival as well what is reported by Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Jameel and Hisham and Hafs. They said, ‘Abu Abdullah^-asws fell ill with severe illness. When it was night of the 23^rd, he^-asws instructed his^-asws slaves so they carried him^-asws to the Masjid, and was in it its night’’.[107]

فصل فيما يختص باليوم الثالث و العشرين من شهر رمضان دعاء اليوم الثالث و العشرين من شهر رمضان.

Section regarding what is specific with the day of the 23^rd of a month of Ramazan, a supplication of the day of the 23^rd of a month of Ramazan.

سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي‏ يُنْشِئُ السَّحابَ الثِّقالَ- وَ يُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدُ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ وَ يُرْسِلُ الصَّواعِقَ فَيُصِيبُ بِها مَنْ يَشاءُ وَ يُرْسِلُ الرِّياحَ بُشْراً بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَحْمَتِهِ

He is the One Who Shows you the lightning Causing fear and hope and Raises the heavy cloud [13:12] And the thunder Glorifies with His Praise, and (so do) the Angels from His Awe, and He Sends the thunderbolts, so He Hits with these the ones He so Desires to, [13:13] and Sends the winds as glad tidings before His Mercy. Is there a god along with Allah? Exalted is Allah Exalted from what they are associating [27:63].

‏ وَ يُنَزِّلُ الْمَاءَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَ يُنْبِتُ النَّبَاتَ بِقُدْرَتِهِ وَ يَسْقُطُ الْوَرَقَ بِأَمْرِهِ

And He^-azwj Sends down the water from the sky with His^-azwj Words, and Grows the vegetation by His^-azwj Power, and the leaves drop by His^-azwj Command!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بَارِئِ النَّسَمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْمُصَوِّرِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ خَالِقِ الْأَزْوَاجِ كُلِّهَا سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ جَاعِلِ الظُّلُمَاتِ وَ النُّورِ

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!

سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ فَالِقِ‏ الْحَبِّ وَ النَّوى‏ 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 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!’’[108]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ اغْسِلْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ وَ طَهِّرْنِي فِيهِ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ وَ امْتَحِنْ فِيهِ قَلْبِي لِتَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ يَا مُقِيلَ عَثَرَاتِ الْمُذْنِبِينَ‏.

Another supplication during this day – ‘O Allah^-azwj! Wash me from the sins during it, and Purify me in it from the faults, and Test my heart in it for piety of the hearts, O Uprooter of the stumbles of the sinners!’’[109]

باب 8 أدعية وداع شهر رمضان و أعماله‏

CHAPTER 74 – SUPPLICATIONS OF MONTH OF RAMAZAN AND ITS ACTS OF WORSHIP

أقول: قد مضى ما ينوط بهذا الباب في أبواب الصيام و في أبواب الدعاء من كتاب الصلاة و غيرها أيضا فلا تغفل قل، إقبال الأعمال و من ذلك ما يتعلق بوداع شهر رمضان

I say, ‘It has passed what pertains to this chapter in chapters of the Fasting, and in chapters of the supplication from the book of Salat and others as well, so do not be heedless, (the book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’, and from that is what is related with bidding farewell to month of Ramazan.

فنقول إن سأل سائل فقال ما معنى الوداع لشهر رمضان و ليس هو من الحيوان الذي يخاطب أو يعقل ما يقال له باللسان فاعلم أن عادة ذوي العقول قبل الرسول و مع الرسول و بعد الرسول يخاطبون الديار و الأوطان و الشباب و أوقات الصفا و الأمان و الإحسان ببيان المقال و هو محادثة لها بلسان الحال

We said, if a questioner asks, so he says, ‘What is the meaning of bidding farewell to a month of Ramazan and it isn’t from the living beings which is addressed, or it understands what is being said to it with the tongue. So know that it has been the custom of people of understanding, before the Rasool^-saww, during his^-saww time, and after him^-saww, to address places, and homelands, and the youth, and the times of joy, and the security, and grace with the spoken words. This is a way of conversing with them through the state of one’s tongue. 

فلما جاء أدب الإسلام أمضى ما شهدت بجوازه من ذلك أحكام العقول و الأفهام و نطق به مقدس القرآن المجيد فقال جل جلاله‏ يَوْمَ نَقُولُ لِجَهَنَّمَ هَلِ امْتَلَأْتِ وَ تَقُولُ هَلْ مِنْ مَزِيدٍ

When the education of Islam was established, it affirmed what reason and understanding had deemed permissible in such matters. This was also expressed in the Holy Quran, the Glorious. The Mighty and Majestic Said: On the Day that We will say to Hell: “Are you filled up?” And it will say: ‘Are there any more?’ [50:30]!

فأخبر أن جهنم رد الجواب بالمقال و هو إشارة إلى لسان الحال و ذكر كثيرا في القرآن الشريف المجيد و في كلام النبي و الأئمة صلوات الله عليه و عليهم السلام و كلام أهل التعريف فلا يحتاج ذوو الألباب إلى الإطالة في الجواب

He^-azwj Informed us that Hell gave a verbal response, which is an indication the state of one’s tongue. This concept has been mentioned frequently in the Noble Quran, in the words of the Prophet^-saww and the Imams^-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah^-azwj be upon him^-saww and the greetings be upon them^-asws, and in the discourse of those knowledgeable in spiritual matters. Thus, those of sound intellect do not require an extended explanation to grasp this point in the response.

فلما كان شهر رمضان قد صاحبه ذوو العناية به من أهل الإسلام و الإيمان أفضل لهم من صحبة الديار و المنازل و أنفع من الأهل و أرفع من الأعيان و الأماثل اقتضت دواعي لسان الحال أن يودع عند الفراق و الانفصال ذكر ما نورده من طبقات أهل الوداع الشهر الصيام

Since the month of Ramazan is accompanied by those who value it among the people of Islam and Eman, it is better for them than companionship with homes and dwellings, more beneficial than family, and higher in rank than prominent individuals and nobility. This prompts the state of one’s tongue to bid farewell at the time of parting and separation. Hence, we present here the categories of those who bid farewell to the month of Fasting.

فنقول اعلم أن الوداع لشهر رمضان يحتاج إلى زيادة بيان و الناس فيه على طبقات طبقة منهم كانوا في شهر رمضان على مراد الله جل جلاله و آدابه فيه في السر و الإعلان فهؤلاء يودعون شهر الصيام وداع من صاحبه بالصفاء و الوفاء و حفظ الذمام كما تضمنه وداع مولانا زين العابدين عليه أفضل السلام-

We say, ‘Know that bidding the farewell to a month of Ramazan is needy to additional explanation and the people are upon categories. One group among them spent the month of Ramazan in accordance with the Purpose of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty and its etiquettes in it, in the private and the open. These individuals bid farewell to the month of Fasting as one bids farewell to a companion with sincerity, loyalty, and the preservation of mutual respect, as reflected in the farewell of our Master Zayn Al Abideen^-asws, upon him^-asws be the best greeting!

و طبقة منهم صاحبوا شهر رمضان تارة يكونون معه على مراد الله جل جلاله في بعض الأزمان و تارة يفارقون شروطه بالغفلة أو بالعصيان فهؤلاء إن اتفق خروج شهر رمضان و هم مفارقون له في الآداب و الاصطحاب فالمفارقون لا يودعون و لا هم مجتمعون

And Another group accompanied the month of Ramazan, sometimes adhering to the purpose of Allah^-azwj, Majestic is His^-azwj Majesty, during certain periods, and at other times neglecting its conditions through heedlessness or disobedience. If the month of Ramazan departs while they are separated from it in terms of its etiquettes and companionship, then such individuals do not bid farewell, nor are they truly united with it.

و إنما الوداع لمن كان مرافقا و موافقا في مقتضى العقول و الألباب و إن اتفق خروج شهر رمضان و هم في حال حسن صحبته فلهم أن يودعوه على قدر ما عاملوه في حفظ حرمته و أن يستغفروا و يندموا على ما فرطوا فيه من إضاعة شروط الصحبة و الوفاء و يبالغوا عند الوداع في التلهف و التأسف كيف عاملوه بوقت من الأوقات بالجفاء

And rather bidding the farewell is only for those who were companions and aligned with the month of Ramazan, as dictated by reason and wisdom. If the month of Ramazan departs while they have maintained good companionship with it, they are entitled to bid it farewell in proportion to how they upheld its sanctity. They should seek Forgiveness and feel remorse for any shortcomings in fulfilling the conditions of companionship and loyalty. At the time of farewell, they should express deep regret and sorrow for treating it with neglect or estrangement during certain periods.

و طبقة ما كانوا في شهر رمضان مصاحبين له بالقلوب بل كان فيهم من هو كاره لشهر الصيام لأنه كان يقطعهم عن عاداتهم في التهوين و مراقبة علام الغيوب فهؤلاء ما كانوا مع شهر رمضان حتى يودعوه عند الانفصال و لا أحسنوا المجاورة له لما نزل من القرب من دارهم و تكرهوا به و استقبلوه بسوء اختيارهم فلا معنى لوداعهم له عند انفصاله و لا يلتفت إلى ما يتضمنه لفظ وداعهم و سوء مقالهم

As for another group, they did not accompany Ramazan with their hearts. Some among them even disliked the month of Fasting because it interrupted their habits of indulgence and neglecting the watchful gaze of Knower of the unseen. Such individuals were never truly with the month of Ramazan to bid it farewell upon its departure. They did not honour its presence when it drew near to their homes, and they despised it, greeting it with ill will and poor choices. Thus, there is no meaning to their farewell upon its departure, and no attention is given to the words of their farewell or the negativity of their speech.

أقول فلا تكن أيها الإنسان ممن نزل به ضيف غني عنه و ما نزل به ضيف مذ سنة أشرف منه و قد حضره للإنعام عليه و حمل إليه معه تحف السعادات و شرف العنايات و ما لا يبلغه وصف المقال من الآمال و الإقبال فأساء مجاورة هذا الضيف الكريم و جفاه و هون به و عامله معاملة المضيف اللئيم فانصرف الضيف الكريم ذاما لضيافته و بقي الذي نزل به في فضيحة تقصيره و سوء مجاورته أو في عار تأسفه و ندامته

I say: ‘O human being, do not be among those who received a guest they did not value, especially when no guest more honourable than this one had visited them in years. This guest arrived to bestow Blessings upon them, bringing with it treasures of happiness, noble care, and indescribable gifts of hope and divine favour. Yet, they mistreated this noble guest, distanced themselves from it, disrespected it, and dealt with it as an ignoble host would. Thus, the noble guest departed, condemning their hospitality, leaving them in the disgrace of their negligence and poor companionship or in the shame of their regret and remorse.

فكن إما محسنا في الضيافة و المعرفة بحقوق ما وصل به هذا الضيف من السعادة و الرحمة و الرأفة و الأمن من المخافة أو كن لا له و لا عليه فلا تصاحبه بالكراهة و سوء الأدب عليه و إنما تهلك بأعمالك السخيفة نفسك الضعيفة و تشهرها بالفضائح و النقصان في ديوان الملوك و الأعيان الذين ظفروا بالأمان و الرضوان

So be either one who excels in hospitality and recognises the rights of what this guest has brought of happiness, mercy, compassion, and security from fear, or be at least neutral neither for it or against it. Do not accompany it with disdain or ill manners, for in doing so, you only destroy your weak soul with your base actions and expose it to disgrace and deficiency in the record of the kings and nobility who attained safety and Divine Satisfaction.

أقول و اعلم أن وقت الوداع لشهر الصيام رويناه عن أحد الأئمة عليهم‏ أفضل السلام من كتاب فيه مسائل جماعة من أعيان الأصحاب و قد وقع ع بعد كل مسألة بالجواب و هذا لفظ ما وجدناه.

I say, know that the time for bidding farewell to the month of Fasting has been narrated from one of the Imams^-asws, upon them^-asws be the best of the greetings, in a book that addresses the questions of a group of notable companions, and he^-asws provided answers to each question, and the following is the text of what we found.

وَدَاعُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَتَى يَكُونُ فَقَدِ اخْتَلَفَ أَصْحَابُنَا فَبَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ وَ بَعْضُهُمْ قَالَ هُوَ فِي آخِرِ يَوْمٍ مِنْهُ إِذَا رَأَى هِلَالَ شَوَّالٍ

When should the farewell to the month of Ramazan take place? There is a difference of opinion among our companions: some say it should be on the last night of the month, while others say it should occur on the last day of the month, upon sighting the crescent of Shawwal.

الْجَوَابُ الْعَمَلُ فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فِي لَيَالِيهِ وَ الْوَدَاعُ يَقَعُ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ فَإِنْ خَافَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ الشَّهْرُ جَعَلَهُ فِي لَيْلَتَيْنِ.

The acts of worship in Ramazan are observed throughout its nights, and the farewell is to take place on the last night of the month. However, if one fears that the month may be incomplete, the farewell can be extended over two nights.

قلت هذا اللفظ ما رأيناه و رويناه فاجتهد في وقت الوداع على إصلاح السريرة فالإنسان على نفسه بصيرة و تخير لوقت وداع الفضل الذي كان في شهر رمضان أصلح أوقاتك في حسن صحبته و جميل ضيافته و معاملته من آخر ليلة منه كما رويناه فإن فاتك الوداع في آخر ليلة ففي أواخر نهار المفارقة له و الانفصال عنه فمتى وجدت في تلك الليلة أو ذلك اليوم نفسك على حال صالحة في صحبة شهر رمضان فودعه في ذلك الأوان وداع أهل الصفاء و الوفاء الذين يعرفون حق الضيف العظيم الإحسان

I say this wording we have neither seen nor narrated. Therefore, strive during the time of farewell to purify your inner state, for a person is most aware of their own self. Choose the best time for bidding farewell to the virtues that Ramazan has brought, and make the final moments of its companionship and hospitality the best part of your time. If you miss the farewell at the last night, then make it in the final moments of the day of separation from it. Whenever you find yourself in a righteous state during that night or day, in the company of Ramazan, bid it farewell in that moment as one would farewell a beloved companion with sincerity and loyalty, those who recognise the rights of the great guest.

و اقض من حق التأسف على مفارقته و بعده بقدر ما فاتك من شرف ضيافته و فوائد رفده و أطلق من ذخائر دموع الوداع ما جرت به عوائد الأحبة إذا تفرقوا بعد الاجتماع و قل. و اقض من حق التأسف على مفارقته و بعده بقدر ما فاتك من شرف ضيافته و فوائد رفده و أطلق من ذخائر دموع الوداع ما جرت به عوائد الأحبة إذا تفرقوا بعد الاجتماع و قل. مَا رَوَاهُ الشَّيْخُ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الدُّورْيَسْتِيُّ فِي كِتَابِ الْحُسْنَى بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ قَالَ:

Fulfil your duty of regret for its departure in proportion to the honour you lost from its hospitality and the benefits it provided. Let the treasures of your tears flow as is customary among loved ones when they part after being together, and say what is reported by the sheykh Ja’far Bin Muhammad Bin Ahmad Bin Al Abbas Bin Muhammad Al Doworsty in the book Al Husna, by his chain to Jabir Bin Abdullah Al Ansary who said,

دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص فِي آخِرِ جُمُعَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَلَمَّا بَصُرَ بِي قَالَ لِي يَا جَابِرُ هَذَا آخِرُ جُمُعَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ فَوَدِّعْهُ وَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ صِيَامِنَا إِيَّاهُ فَإِنْ جَعَلْتَهُ فَاجْعَلْنِي مَرْحُوماً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنِي مَحْرُوماً

‘I entered to see Rasool-Allah^-azwj during the last Friday of a month of Ramazan. When he^-saww sighted me, said to me: ‘O Jabir! This is the last Friday of a month of Ramazan, so bid farewell to it and say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make it the last pact from our Fasting of it. If You^-azwj have Made it so, then Make me Mercied and do not Make me Deprived!’

فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ قَالَ ذَلِكَ ظَفِرَ بِإِحْدَى الْحُسْنَيَيْنِ إِمَّا بِبُلُوغِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مِنْ قَابِلٍ وَ إِمَّا بِغُفْرَانِ اللَّهِ وَ رَحِمَتِهِ.

The one who says that will win with one of the two good deeds. Either he will reach the months of Ramazan the following year, or (win with) Forgiveness of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Mercy!’’[110]

وداع آخر لشهر رمضان وَ قَدْ رَوَيْنَاهُ عَنْ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع صَاحِبِ الْأَنْفَاسِ الْمُقَدَّسَةِ الشَّرِيفَةِ فِيمَا تَضَمَّنَهُ إِسْنَادُ أَدْعِيَةِ الصَّحِيفَةِ فَقَالَ: وَ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ ع فِي وَدَاعِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ-

Bidding farewell to end of a month of Ramazan, and we are reporting it from our Master Ali^‑asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, owner of the Holy breaths, the noble, among what is included in chains of attribution of ‘Al-Saheefa’. He said, ‘And it was from his^-asws supplications in bidding farewell to a month of Ramazan –

اللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ لَا يَرْغَبُ فِي الْجَزَاءِ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يَنْدَمُ عَلَى الْعَطَاءِ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُكَافِي‏ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى السَّوَاءِ هِبَتُكَ ابْتِدَاءٌ وَ عَطِيَّتُكَ تَفَضُّلٌ وَ عُقُوبَتُكَ عَدْلٌ وَ قَضَاؤُكَ خِيَرَةٌ إِنْ أَعْطَيْتَ لَمْ تَشُبْ بِمَنٍّ وَ إِنْ مَنَعْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْعُكَ بِتَعَدٍّ

‘O Allah^-azwj! O the One^-azwj Who does not seek reward for Giving, and O the One^-azwj Who does not regret upon the Giving, and O the One^-azwj Who does not Suffice His^-azwj servants upon the equality! You^-azwj gifts are Initiated, and Your^-azwj awards are a Grace, and Your^-azwj Punishment is Just, and Your^-azwj Decree is good! If You^-azwj Grant You^-azwj do not taint it with reproach and if You^-azwj Prevent Your^-azwj Prevention would not be with transgression!

تَشْكُرُ مَنْ شَكَرَكَ وَ أَنْتَ أَلْهَمْتَهُ شُكْرَكَ وَ تُكَافِئُ مَنْ حَمِدَكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَهُ حَمْدَكَ

You^-azwj Thank the one thanking You^-azwj and (although) You^-azwj had Inspired him to thank You^‑azwj, and You^-azwj Suffice the one praising You^-azwj and (although) You^-azwj had Taught him to praise You^-azwj!

تَسْتُرُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ شِئْتَ فَضَحْتَهُ وَ تَجُودُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ أَرَدْتَ مَنَعْتَهُ وَ كِلَاهُمَا مِنْكَ أَهْلٌ لِلْفَضِيحَةِ وَ الْمَنْعِ غَيْرَ أَنَّكَ بَنَيْتَ أَفْعَالَكَ عَلَى التَّفَضُّلِ وَ أَجْرَيْتَ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلَى التَّجَاوُزِ

You^-azwj Cover upon the one, had You^-azwj so Desired, You^-azwj could have Exposed him, and You^-azwj are Generous upon the one, had You^-azwj so Wanted, You^-azwj could have Prevented him, and both of them are deserving of the exposure and the prevention! But, You^-azwj have Built Your^-azwj Actions based upon the Grace and have Directed Your^-azwj Power upon the Overlooking!

وَ تَلَقَّيْتَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ بِالْحِلْمِ وَ أَمْهَلْتَ مَنْ قَصَدَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِالظُّلْمِ تَسْتَنْظِرُهُمْ بِأَنَاتِكَ إِلَى الْإِنَابَةِ وَ تَتْرُكُ مُعَاجَلَتَهُمْ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ لِكَيْلَا يَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ هَالِكُهُمْ وَ لِئَلَّا يَشْقَى بِنَقِمَتِكَ شَقِيُّهُمْ إِلَّا عَنْ طُولِ الْإِعْذَارِ إِلَيْهِ وَ بَعْدَ تَرَادُفِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِ كَرَماً مِنْ فِعْلِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ وَ عَائِدَةً مِنْ عَطْفِكَ

And You^-azwj Met the one who had disobeyed You^-azwj, with the Forbearance, and You^-azwj Respited the one who had aimed for himself with the injustice (sins) by Waiting for them with Your^-azwj Patience until the repentance, and You^-azwj Left Hastening them up to the repentance lest the destruction of their destroyed ones would be upon You^-azwj, and lest their wretched one would be wretched due to Your^-azwj Scourge, except after lengthy warning to him and after repeated arguments upon him as a benevolence from Your^-azwj Actions, O Benevolent, and recurrence of Your^-azwj Compassion!

يَا حَلِيمُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي فَتَحْتَ لِعِبَادِكَ بَاباً إِلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ سَمَّيْتَهُ التَّوْبَةَ وَ جَعَلْتَ عَلَى ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ دَلِيلًا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ لِئَلَّا يَضِلُّوا عَنْهُ فَقُلْتَ‏ تُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً عَسى‏ رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ وَ يُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهارُ

O Forbearing! You^-azwj are the One Who Opens for Your^-azwj servants the doors to Your^-azwj Pardon and You^-azwj have Named it as ‘repentance’, and You^-azwj have Made upon that door evidence from You^-azwj Mercy lest they stray away from it, so You^-azwj Said: O you, those who believe! Turn to Allah with a sincere repentance; maybe your Lord will Remove your evil deeds from you and Enter you into Gardens beneath which the rivers flow, [66:8].

فَمَا عُذْرُ مَنْ أَغْفَلَ دُخُولَ ذَلِكَ الْبَابِ يَا سَيِّدِي بَعْدَ فَتْحِهِ وَ إِقَامَةِ الدَّلِيلِ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي زِدْتَ فِي السَّوْمِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِعِبَادِكَ تُرِيدُ رِبْحَهُمْ فِي مُتَاجَرَتِكَ وَ فَوْزَهُمْ بِزِيَادَتِكَ فَقُلْتَ‏ مَنْ جاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثالِها وَ مَنْ جاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلا يُجْزى‏ إِلَّا مِثْلَها

So, what is the excuse for the one heedless from entering into that door, O my Chief, after You^-azwj have Opened it, and Established the evidence upon him? And You^-azwj are the One Who have Increased in the Offering upon Yourself^-azwj to Your^-azwj servants Wanting them to profit in their trading and being successful with Your^-azwj Increase, so You^-azwj Said: ‘One who comes with the good deed, then for him would be ten the likes of it, and one who comes with the evil deed, so he would not be Recompensed except the like of it, [6:160].

ثُمَّ قُلْتَ‏ مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ حَبَّةٍ أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَةٍ مِائَةُ حَبَّةٍ وَ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ مِنْ نَظَائِرِهِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ

Then You^-azwj Said: ‘The example of those who are spending their wealth in the Way of Allah is like the example of a grain growing seven ears, in every ear being a hundred grains; [2:261], and whatever You^-azwj have Revealed matching these in the Quran.

وَ أَنْتَ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَهُمْ بِقَوْلِكَ الَّذِي مِنْ غَيْبِكَ وَ تَرْغِيبِكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ مِنْ حَظِّهِمْ عَلَى مَا لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ عَنْهُمْ لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَ لَمْ تَعِهِ أَسْمَاعُهُمْ وَ لَمْ تَلْحَقْهُ أَوْهَامُهُمْ

And You^-azwj are the One Who Guided them with Your^-azwj Words which are from Your^-azwj unseen, and Your^-azwj Encouragement in which is from their being Urged upon what had You^‑azwj Covered from them, their visions would not have realised it and their ears would not have retained it, and their imaginations would not have grasped it.

فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكْتَ وَ تَعَالَيْتَ‏ فَاذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ‏ وَ لَئِنْ شَكَرْتُمْ لَأَزِيدَنَّكُمْ‏ وَ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ‏ وَ قُلْتَ‏ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يُقْرِضُ اللَّهَ قَرْضاً حَسَناً فَيُضاعِفَهُ لَهُ‏ فَذَكَرُوكَ

You^-azwj, Blessed and Exalted, Said: Therefore remember Me, I will remember you, [2:152]; and, “If you are grateful, I would Increase it for you, [14:7]; and, “Supplicate to Me, I will Answer you. [40:60]; and You^-azwj Said: Who is that who will lend Allah a goodly loan, so He would double it for him, [57:11].

وَ شَكَرُوكَ وَ دَعَوْكَ وَ تَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ وَ فِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ وَ فَوْزُهُمْ بِرِضَاكَ وَ لَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ كَانَ مَحْمُوداً فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ وَ مَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ وَ مَعْنًى‏ يَنْصَرِفُ إِلَيْهِ-

And they thanked You^-azwj, and supplicated to You^-azwj, and their gave charity for you^-azwj seeking Your^-azwj Increase, and in it was their salvation from Your^-azwj Wrath and their success with achieving Your^-azwj Satisfaction, and if a created being had guided a created being from himself upon the likes of which You^-azwj have Guided Your^-azwj servants upon, he would have been praised. So, for You^-azwj is the Praise for as long as a doctrine is found in praising You^-azwj, and for as long as a word remains for the praise You^-azwj can be praised with, and meaning diverting to it!

يَا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ بِالْإِحْسَانِ وَ الْفَضْلِ وَ عَامَلَهُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَ الطَّوْلِ مَا أَفْشَى فِينَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ أَسْبَغَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَّتَكَ وَ أَخَصَّنَا بِبِرِّكَ وَ هَدَيْتَنَا لِدِينِكَ الَّذِي اصْطَفَيْتَ وَ مِلَّتِكَ الَّتِي ارْتَضَيْتَ وَ سَبِيلِكَ الَّذِي سَهَّلْتَ وَ بَصَّرْتَنَا مَا يُوجِبُ الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ وَ الْوُصُولَ إِلَى كَرَامَتِكَ

O the One^-azwj Who is Praise-worthy to His^-azwj servant due to the Favours and the Grace, and Dealt with them with the Conferment and the Leniency! How widespread are Your^-azwj bounties among us, and how plentiful are Your^-azwj Bestowals upon us, and You^-azwj have Specialised us with Your^-azwj righteousness, and Guided us to Your^-azwj religion which You^-azwj have Chosen, and Your^-azwj nation which You^-azwj are Pleased with, and Your^-azwj way which You^-azwj Facilitated, and You^-azwj Made us insightful of what obligates the nearness to You^-azwj and the arriving to Your^-azwj Honours!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَنْتَ جَعَلْتَ مِنْ صَفَايَا تِلْكَ الْوَظَائِفِ وَ خَصَائِصِ تِلْكَ الْفُرُوضِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي اخْتَصَصْتَهُ مِنْ سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ وَ تَخَيَّرْتَهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْأَزْمِنَةِ وَ الدُّهُورِ وَ آثَرْتَهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْأَوْقَاتِ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَ فَرَضْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الصِّيَامِ وَ أَجْلَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ

O Allah^-azwj, and You^-azwj have Made from the choicest of those obligations, and those special duties, the month of Ramazan which You^-azwj have Distinguished from rest of the month and Chose it from entirety of the times and the ages, and You^-azwj Preferred it over entirety of the timings due to what You^-azwj have Revealed in it from the Quran, and Obligated the fasting in it, and Released in it Laylat Al-Qadr which is better than a thousand months!

ثُمَّ آثَرْتَنَا بِهِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأُمَمِ وَ اصْطَفَيْتَنَا بِفَضْلِهِ دُونَ أَهْلِ الْأَدْيَانِ فَصُمْنَا بِأَمْرِكَ نَهَارَهُ وَ قُمْنَا بِعَوْنِكَ لَيْلَهُ مُتَعَرِّضِينَ بِصِيَامِهِ وَ قِيَامِهِ لِمَا عَرَّضْتَنَا لَهُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ سَبَبْتَنَا إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مَثُوبَتِكَ

Then You^-azwj Preferred us for it over rest of the communities, and Selected us with its merit besides people of the (other) religions. So, we fasted its days by Your^-azwj Command and we stood (for Salat) its nights by Your^-azwj Assistance, exposing ourselves with its Fasts and its standings for what You^-azwj Presented us for Your^-azwj Mercy, and Caused us to be eligible for Your^-azwj Rewards!

وَ أَنْتَ الْمَلِي‏ءُ بِمَا رُغِبَ فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ الْجَوَادُ بِمَا سُئِلْتَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْقَرِيبُ إِلَى مَنْ حَاوَلَ قُرْبَكَ وَ قَدْ أَقَامَ فِينَا هَذَا الشَّهْرُ مُقَامَ حَمْدٍ وَ صَحِبَنَا صُحْبَةَ السُّرُورِ وَ أَرْبَحَنَا أَفْضَلَ أَرْبَاحِ الْعَالَمِينَ

And You^-azwj are Fill with regarding what is desired to You^-azwj, the Generous with what is requested from Your^-azwj Grace, the Near to the one who seek Your^-azwj nearness, and this months is standing among us in the position of praise, accompanying us with the cheerful accompaniment, and has profited us with best of the profits of the worlds!

ثُمَّ قَدْ فَارَقَنَا عِنْدَ تَمَامِ وَقْتِهِ وَ انْقِطَاعِ مُدَّتِهِ وَ وَفَاءِ عَدَدِهِ فَنَحْنُ مُوَدِّعُوهُ وَدَاعَ مَنْ عَزَّ فِرَاقُهُ عَلَيْنَا وَ غَمَّنَا وَ أَوْحَشَ انْصِرَافُهُ عَنَّا فَهَمَّنَا وَ لَزِمَنَا لَهُ الذِّمَامُ الْمَحْفُوظُ وَ الْحُرْمَةُ الْمَرْعِيَّةُ وَ الْحَقُّ الْمَقْضِيُّ

Then, it is separating from us at the completion of its time and termination of its period, and fulfilment of its number! So, we are bidding it farewell, a farewell of the one whose separation is sorrowful upon me and has saddened us, and its turning away from us is causing loneliness. We have understood and have necessitated the preserved rights, and taking care of the sanctity, and fulfilment of the right!

فَنَحْنُ قَائِلُونَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَهْرَ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرَ وَ يَا عِيدَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ الْأَعْظَمَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا أَكْرَمَ مَصْحُوبٍ مِنَ الْأَوْقَاتِ وَ يَا خَيْرَ شَهْرٍ فِي الْأَيَّامِ وَ السَّاعَاتِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ قَرُبَتْ فِيهِ الْآمَالُ وَ يُسِّرَتْ فِيهِ الْأَعْمَالُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَرِينٍ جَلَّ قَدْرُهُ مَوْجُوداً وَ أَفْجَعَ فِرَاقُهُ مَفْقُوداً

So, we are saying, ‘The greeting be upon you, O greatest month of Allah^-azwj and O mightiest festival of His^-azwj friends! The greeting be to you O most honourable companions from the timings, and O best month during the days and the hours! The greeting be to you of a month during it the deeds were drawn closer and the works were eased! The greeting be to you from a pair (companion) whose worth is majestic when he is present and his separation is ugly when gone!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَلِيفٍ آنَسَ مُقْبِلًا فَسَرَّ وَ أَوْحَشَ مُنْقَضِياً فَأَمَرَّ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ مُجَاوِرٍ رَقَّتْ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ وَ قَلَّتْ فِيهِ الذُّنُوبُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَاصِرٍ أَعَانَ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ وَ صَاحِبٍ سَهَّلَ سَبِيلَ الْإِحْسَانِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مَا أَكْثَرَ عُتَقَاءَ اللَّهِ فِيكَ وَ مَا أَسْعَدَ مَنْ رَعَى حُرْمَتَهُ بِكَ

The greeting be to you from a friend, comforting when he came so he brought joy, and let bitterness and loneliness when departed! The greeting be to you from a neighbour the hearts were soft during it, and the sins were scarce during it! The greeting be to you from a helper assisting against the Satan^-la, and a companion facilitating the way of the good deeds! The greeting be to you, how numerous are the liberated ones of Allah^-azwj in you, and how fortunate is the one who takes care of its sanctity with you!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ أَمْحَاكَ لِلذُّنُوبِ وَ أَسْتَرَكَ لِأَنْوَاعِ الْعُيُوبِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ أَطْوَلَكَ عَلَى‏ الْمُجْرِمِينَ وَ أَهْيَبَكَ فِي صُدُورِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ لَا تُنَافِسُهُ الْأَيَّامُ وَ مِنْ شَهْرٍ هُوَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ سَلَامٌ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ غَيْرَ كَرِيهِ الْمُصَاحَبَةِ وَ لَا ذَمِيمِ الْمُلَابَسَةِ

The greeting be to you, how deleting you were of the sins, and your covering of the faults! The greeting be to you, how lenient you were upon the criminals and your awe in chests of the Momineen! The greeting be to you of a month the days cannot compete with it, and a month which is with the peace from every matter! The greeting be to you not disliked of the accompaniment nor condemned of the association!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ كَمَا وَرَدْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِالْبَرَكَاتِ وَ غَسَلْتَ عَنَّا دَنَسَ الْخَطِيئَاتِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مُوَدَّعٍ سَأَماً وَ لَا مَتْرُوكٍ صِيَامُهُ بَرَماً السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ مَطْلُوبٍ قَبْلَ وَقْتِهِ وَ مَحْزُونٍ عَلَيْهِ عِنْدَ فَوْتِهِ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ كَمْ مِنْ سُوءٍ صُرِفَ بِكَ عَنَّا وَ كَمْ مِنْ خَيْرٍ أُفِيضَ بِكَ عَلَيْنَا

The greeting be to you just as You^-azwj arrived to us with the Blessings and washed the dirt of the misdeeds away from us! The greeting be to you not bidding farewell out of weariness nor were its fasts neglects out of disinterest! The greeting be to you sought before its time and grieved upon at its loss! The greeting be to you, how much evil was turned away from us due to you, and how much goodness was poured upon us due to you!

السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي جَعَلَهَا اللَّهُ خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَى فَضْلِكَ الَّذِي حُرِمْنَاهُ وَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ سُلِبْنَاهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ أَحْرَصَنَا بِالْأَمْسِ عَلَيْكَ وَ أَشَدَّ شَوْقَنَا غَداً إِلَيْكَ

The greeting be to you and to Laylat Al-Qadr which Allah^-azwj has Made it to be better than a thousand months! The greeting be to you and to your merit which we had been deprived of and upon what has happened from the Blessings we had been stripped of! The greeting be to you of what we had been eager upon you yesterday and intensity of our yearning to you tomorrow!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا أَهْلُ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الَّذِي شَرَّفْتَنَا بِهِ وَ وَفَّقْتَنَا بِمَنِّكَ لَهُ حِينَ جَهِلَ الْأَشْقِيَاءُ فَضْلَهُ وَ حُرِمُوا لِشَقَائِهِمْ خَيْرَهُ وَ أَنْتَ وَلِيُّ مَا آثَرْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ هَدَيْتَنَا لَهُ مِنْ سُنَّتِهِ وَ قَدْ تَوَلَّيْنَا بِتَوْفِيقِكَ صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ عَلَى تَقْصِيرٍ وَ أَدَّيْنَا مِنْ حَقِّكَ فِيهِ قَلِيلًا مِنْ كَثِيرٍ

O Allah^-azwj! We are people of this month whom You^-azwj have Ennobled us with, and Harmonised us with Your^-azwj Conferment of it when the wretched ones are heedless of its merit and have been deprived of its goodness due to their wretchedness, and you^-azwj are Guardian of what You^-azwj have Preferred us with, from recognising it, and You^-azwj Guided us to it of its conduct, and You^-azwj Bestowed us with Your^-azwj Inclining us its Fasts and its standings (for Salat) upon deficiency, and we fulfilled You^-azwj rights, little from a lot!

اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ إِقْرَارُنَا بِالْإِسَاءَةِ وَ اعْتِرَافُنَا بِالْإِضَاعَةِ وَ لَكَ مِنْ قُلُوبِنَا عُقْدَةُ النَّدَمِ وَ مِنْ أَلْسِنَتِنَا صِدْقُ الِاعْتِذَارِ فَأْجُرْنَا عَلَى مَا أُصِبْنَا بِهِ مِنَ التَّفْرِيطِ أَجْراً نَسْتَدْرِكُ بِهِ الْفَضْلَ الْمَرْغُوبَ فِيهِ وَ نَعْتَاضُ بِهِ مِنْ إِحْرَازِ الذُّخْرِ الْمَحْرُوصِ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَوْجِبْ لَنَا عُذْرَكَ عَلَى مَا قَصَّرْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَقِّكَ وَ أَبْلِغْ بِأَعْمَارِنَا مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِينَا مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ الْمُقْبِلِ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is our acceptance of the evil deeds and our acknowledgment of the wastage, and for You^-azwj is a knot of regret from our hearts, and from our tongues is the sincere apology! So, Reward us, for the shortcomings we have faced with a reward that allows us to recover the desired bounty and make up for the treasures we failed to protect. Grant us Your^-azwj Pardon for our failure to fulfil Your^-azwj rights, and extend our lives to reach the upcoming month of Ramazan.

فَإِذَا بَلَّغْتَنَاهُ فَأَعِنِّا عَلَى تَنَاوُلِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ وَ أَدْنَى إِلَى الْقِيَامِ بِمَا نَسْتَحِقُّهُ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَ أَجْرِ لَنَا مِنْ صَالِحِ الْعَمَلِ مَا يَكُونُ دَرْكاً لِحَقِّكَ فِي الشَّهْرَيْنِ وَ فِي شُهُورِ الدَّهْرِ

If You^-azwj Grant us this, Help us to engage in worship that is worthy of You^-azwj, and enable us to fulfil the obedience we owe. Grant us righteous deeds that make up for Your^-azwj rights in both this month and in all the months of the year!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا أَلْمَمْنَا بِهِ فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا مِنْ إِثْمٍ وَ أَوْقَعْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ ذَنْبٍ وَ اكْتَسَبْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ خَطِيئَةٍ عَنْ تَعَمُّدٍ مِنَّا لَهُ أَوْ عَلَى نِسْيَانٍ مِنْ ظُلْمِنَا فِيهِ أَنْفُسَنَا أَوِ انْتِهَاكِنَا فِيهِ حُرْمَةَ مَنْ غَيْرُنَا فَاسْتُرْهُ بِسِتْرِكَ وَ اعْفُ عَنَّا بِعَفْوِكَ وَ لَا تَنْصِبْنَا فِيهِ لِأَعْيُنِ الشَّامِتِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Whatever sin we may have committed in this month, whatever wrong we may have done, or whatever error we may have made, whether intentionally or out of forgetfulness, whether due to our injustice of ourselves or violating the sanctity of others, cover it with Your^-azwj Veil, Pardon us with Your^-azwj Forgiveness, and do not Expose us to the eyes of the mocking ones!

وَ لَا تَبْسُطْ عَلَيْنَا أَلْسِنَةَ الطَّاعِنِينَ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنَا بِمَا يَكُونُ حِطَّةً وَ كَفَّارَةً لِمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنَّا فِيهِ بِرَأْفَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنْفَدُ وَ فَضْلِكَ الَّذِي لَا يَنْقُصُ

Do not let the tongues of the reproacher(s) speak against us, and Grant us actions that will serve as atonement and expiation for the wrongs we have done, with Your^-azwj Mercy that never fades and Your^-azwj Grace that never diminishes!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْبُرْ مُصِيبَتَنَا بِشَهْرِنَا وَ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي يَوْمِ عِيدِنَا- وَ اجْعَلْهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ يَوْمٍ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا أَجْلَبِهِ لِلْعَفْوِ وَ أَمْحَاهُ لِلذَّنْبِ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا خَفِيَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ مَا عَلَنَ

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Mend our difficulties with our month, and Bless for us on the day of our Eid, and Make it the best day to pass upon us for its reason of the Pardon and deletion of the sins, and Forgive for us what is hidden from our sins and what is open!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اسْلَخْنَا بِانْسِلَاخِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ مِنْ خَطَايَانَا وَ أَخْرِجْنَا بِخُرُوجِهِ عَنْ سَيِّئَاتِنَا وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَسْعَدِ أَهْلِهِ بِهِ وَ أَوْفَرِهِمْ قِسْماً

O Allah^-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and Strip us from our misdeeds with departure of this month, and Extract us from our evil deeds at its exit, and Make us from the most fortunate of its people with it, and of their fullest of portions!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَنْ رَعَى حُرْمَةَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهَا وَ حَفِظَ حُدُودَهُ حَقَّ حِفْظِهَا وَ اتَّقَى ذُنُوبَهُ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهَا أَوْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ بِقُرْبَةٍ أَوْجَبَتْ رِضَاكَ عَنْهُ وَ عَطَفْتَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَهَبْ لَنَا مِثْلَهُ مِنْ وُجْدِكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ أَعْطِنَا أَضْعَافَهُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فَإِنَّ فَضْلَكَ لَا يَغِيضُ وَ إِنَّ خَزَائِنَكَ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَ إِنَّ مَعَادِنَ إِحْسَانِكَ لَا تَفْنَى وَ إِنَّ عَطَاءَكَ لَلْعَطَاءُ الْمُهَنَّا

O Allah^-azwj, and whoever has preserved the sanctity of this month with the proper care, safeguarded its limits as they should be protected, and feared their sins as they should be feared, or has drawn nearer to You^-azwj with an act of devotion that has earned Your^-azwj Pleasure, and You^-azwj have Shown Mercy to him, Grant us something similar from Your^-azwj Presence and Kindness. Bestow upon us many times more from Your^-azwj bounty, for indeed, Your^-azwj Grace never diminishes, and Your^-azwj treasures never run out. The sources of Your^‑azwj Kindness never perish, and Your^-azwj Giving is indeed the most honourable gift!

اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ لَنَا مِثْلَ أُجُورِ مَنْ صَامَهُ بِنِيَّةٍ أَوْ تَعَبَّدَ لَكَ فِيهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِ فِطْرِنَا الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عِيداً وَ سُرُوراً وَ لِأَهْلِ مِلَّتِكَ مَجْمَعاً

O Allah^-azwj! Grant us the same Rewards as those who Fasted this month with sincere intention of worshiped You^-azwj in it until the Day of Qiyamah! O Allah^-azwj, we repent to You^-azwj on this day of our Eid which You^-azwj have Made a day of celebration and joy for the Muslims, a gathering and a congregation for the followers of Your^-azwj religion!

وَ مُحْتَشَداً مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْنَاهُ أَوْ سُوءٍ أَسْلَفْنَاهُ أَوْ خَطْرَةِ شَرٍّ أَضْمَرْنَاهُ أَوْ عَقِيدَةٍ سَوْءٍ اعْتَقَدْنَاهَا تَوْبَةَ مَنْ لَا يَنْطَوِي عَلَى رُجُوعٍ إِلَى ذَنْبٍ وَ لَا عَوْدٍ فِي خَطِيئَةٍ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً خَلَصَتْ مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَ الِارْتِيَابِ فَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنَّا وَ ارْضَ بِهَا عَنَّا وَ ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَيْهَا

And we seek Forgiveness for every sin we have committed, every wrong we have done, every evil thought we have harboured, and every false belief we have held. We repent as one who will never return to sin or revert to wrongdoing, a sincere repentance free from doubt and suspicion. Accept it from us, be Pleased with it on our behalf, and keep us steadfast in it!

اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا خَوْفَ غَمِّ الْوَعِيدِ وَ شَوْقَ ثَوَابِ الْمَوْعُودِ حَتَّى نَجِدَ لَذَّةَ مَا نَدْعُوكَ بِهِ وَ كَآبَةَ مَا نَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ مِنْهُ وَ اجْعَلْنَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ التَّوَّابِينَ الَّذِينَ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ مَحَبَّتَكَ وَ قَبِلْتَ مِنْهُمْ مُرَاجَعَةَ طَاعَتِكَ يَا أَعْدَلَ الْعَادِلِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Grant us the fear of the distress of Your^-azwj Warning and the longing for the Reward You^-azwj have Promised, so that we may experience the sweetness of what we call upon You^-azwj for and the bitterness of what we seek Refuge from in You^-azwj! Make us among those who are constantly repentant, for whom You^-azwj have Decreed Your^-azwj Love and accepted their return to obeying You^-azwj, O the most Just of the judging ones!

اللَّهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ آبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا وَ أَهْلِ دِينِنَا جَمِيعاً مَنْ سَلَفَ مِنْهُمْ وَ مَنْ غَبَرَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى نَبِيِّنَا وَ آلِهِ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُطَهَّرِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Overlook from our fathers and our mothers and people of our religion altogether the ones in the past from them and future up to the Day of Qiyamah, and Send Salawaat upon our Prophet^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^-asws, just as You^-azwj had Sent upon Your^-azwj Angels of the Proximity, and Your^-azwj Prophets the Pure, and Your^-azwj righteous servants!

وَ سَلِّمْ عَلَى آلِهِ كَمَا سَلَّمْتَ عَلَى آلِ يس وَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعِينَ صَلَاةً تَبْلُغُنَا بَرَكَتُهَا وَ يَنَالُنَا نَفْعُهَا وَ تَغْمُرُنَا بِأَسْرِهَا وَ يُسْتَجَابُ دُعَاؤُنَا بِهَا إِنَّكَ أَكْرَمُ مَنْ رُغِبَ إِلَيْهِ وَ أَعْطَى مَنْ سُئِلَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

And greetings be upon his^-saww Progeny^-asws just as You^-azwj had greeted unto Progeny of Yaseen^-saww, and Send Salawaat upon them all, a Salawaat making us reach its Blessings, and achieve its benefits, and envelop us with its Blessings, and Make our supplications Answered through it. Indeed, You^-azwj are the most generous to whom all turn, and You^-azwj Give to those who ask from Your^-azwj bounty, You^-azwj are Able upon all things!’’[111]

2- قل، إقبال الأعمال وَدَاعٌ آخَرُ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِعِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي وَدَاعِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ نَقَلْنَاهُ مِنْ خَطِّ جَدِّي أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ الطُّوسِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ‏

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – Bidding farewell at the end of a month of Ramazan. We are reporting by a path to Muhammad Bin Yaqoub by his chain to Abu Baseer from Abu Abdullah^‑asws in bidding farewell to Ramazan. We are transmitting it from handwriting of my grandfather Abu Ja’far Al-Tusi, may Allah^-azwj Pleased with him –

اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ الْمُنَزَلِ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّكَ الْمُرْسَلِ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ قَوْلُكَ حَقٌ‏ شَهْرُ رَمَضانَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ الْقُرْآنُ‏ وَ هَذَا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ قَدْ تَصَرَّمَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّةِ

‘O Allah^-azwj! You^-azwj Said in Your^-azwj Revealed Book upon the tongue of Your^-azwj Prophet^-saww, the Sent, may Your^-azwj Salawaat be upon him^-saww, and Your^-azwj Word is true, The Month of Ramazan is that in which the Quran was Revealed, [2:185], and this is a month of Ramazan departing. I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Honourable Face and Your^-azwj complete Words!

إِنْ كَانَ بَقِيَ عَلَيَّ ذَنْبٌ لَمْ تَغْفِرْهُ لِي أَوْ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تُعَذِّبَنِي عَلَيْهِ أَوْ تُقَايِسَنِي بِهِ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ فَجْرُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ أَوْ يَنْصَرِمَ هَذَا الشَّهْرُ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَهُ لِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

If there still remains a sin upon me, You^-azwj have not Forgiven for me, or You^-azwj Want to Punish me upon it, or Retaliate me with, the dawn of this night should not emerge or this month departs except and You^-azwj have Forgiven it for me, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ بِمَحَامِدِكَ كُلِّهَا أَوَّلِهَا وَ آخِرِهَا مَا قُلْتَ لِنَفْسِكَ مِنْهَا وَ مَا قَالَهُ لَكَ الْخَلَائِقُ الْحَامِدُونَ الْمُجْتَهِدُونَ الْمَعْدُودُونَ الْمُؤْثِرُونَ فِي ذِكْرِكَ وَ الشُّكْرِ لَكَ الَّذِينَ أَعَنْتَهُمْ عَلَى أَدَاءِ حَقِّكَ مِنْ أَصْنَافِ خَلْقِكَ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ أَصْنَافِ النَّاطِقِينَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ لَكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْعَالَمِينَ عَلَى أَنَّكَ بَلَّغْتَنَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ نِعَمِكَ وَ عِنْدَنَا مِنْ قِسْمِكَ وَ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ تَظَاهُرِ امْتِنَانِكَ

O Allah^-azwj! For You^-azwj is the Praise with every form of praise, from its beginning to its end, whether it is what You^-azwj have Declared for Yourself^-azwj or what Your^-azwj Grateful and Diligent servants among creation have expressed. These include those who have excelled in remembering You^-azwj and thanking You^-azwj, whom You^-azwj have aided in fulfilling Your^-azwj rights from among Your^-azwj Chosen creations be they the Angels of Proximity, the Prophets^‑as, the Messengers^-as, or the diverse beings who glorify You^-azwj from entirety of the worlds, upon that You^-azwj Made us reach a month of Ramazan, and upon us is from Your^-azwj bounties, and with us is from Your^-asws Distribution, and Your^-azwj Favours and for us to manifest Your^-azwj Conferment’s!

فَبِذَلِكَ لَكَ مُنْتَهَى الْحَمْدِ الْخَالِدِ الدَّائِمِ الرَّاكِدِ الْمُخَلَّدِ السَّرْمَدِ الَّذِي لَا يَنْفَدُ طُولَ الْأَبَدِ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ أَعَنْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى قَضَيْتَ عَنَّا صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ وَ مَا كَانَ مِنَّا فِيهِ مِنْ بِرٍّ أَوْ نُسُكٍ أَوْ ذِكْرٍ

Thus, to You^-azwj belongs the ultimate praise, eternal, everlasting, steadfast, perpetual, and everlasting throughout eternity, which never ceases for all time. Majestic is Your^-azwj Laudation. You^-azwj have aided us in fulfilling it until You^-azwj Enabled us to complete its Fasting and Salats, along with any righteousness or rituals, or Zikr that we engaged in during it.

اللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْهُ مِنَّا بَأَحْسَنِ قَبُولِكَ وَ تَجَاوُزِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ صَفْحِكَ وَ غُفْرَانِكَ وَ حَقِيقَةِ رِضْوَانِكَ حَتَّى تُظْفِرَنَا فِيهِ بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ مَطْلُوبٍ وَ جَزِيلِ عَطَاءٍ مَوْهُوبٍ تُؤْمِنَّا فِيهِ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْرٍ مَرْهُوبٍ وَ ذَنْبٍ مَكْسُوبٍ

O Allah^-azwj! Accept it from us with the most excellent of Your^-asws Acceptance, and Your^-azwj Overlooking, and Your^-azwj Pardon, and Your^-azwj Excusing, and Your^-azwj Forgiveness, and reality of Your^-azwj Satisfaction until we win in it with every goodness sought, and plentiful awards, gifts securing us during it from every feared matter and sin earned!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِعَظِيمِ مَا سَأَلَكَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ مِنْ كَرِيمِ أَسْمَائِكَ وَ جَزِيلِ ثَنَائِكَ وَ خَاصَّةِ دُعَائِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ شَهْرَنَا هَذَا أَعْظَمَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا مُنْذُ أَنْزَلْتَنَا إِلَى الدُّنْيَا

O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the mighty of what anyone from Your^-azwj creatures have asked You^-azwj from Your^-azwj Honourable Names, and Your^-azwj plentiful Laudation, and especially supplications to You^-azwj, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and to Make this month of ours as mightiest of a month of Ramazan having passed upon us since You^-azwj Sent us down to the world!

بَرَكَةً فِي عِصْمَةِ دِينِي وَ خَلَاصِ نَفْسِي وَ قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي وَ تَشْفِيعِي فِي مَسَائِلِي وَ تَمَامِ النِّعْمَةِ عَلَيَّ وَ صَرْفِ السُّوءِ عَنِّي وَ لِبَاسِ الْعَافِيَةِ لِي وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِمَّنْ حُزْتَ لَهُ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ وَ جَعَلْتَهَا لَهُ خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ فِي أَعْظَمِ الْأَجْرِ وَ كَرَائِمِ الذُّخْرِ وَ طُولِ الْعُمُرِ وَ حُسْنِ الشُّكْرِ وَ دَوَامِ الْيُسْرِ

(And) Blessings in protection of my religion, and Purify my soul, and Fulfil my need, and Intercede me in my request, and the complete bounties upon me, and Turn the evil away from me, and Clothe the well-being for me, and to Make me, by Your^-azwj Mercy, from the ones attaining Laylat Al-Qadr, and Made it as better from a thousand months in mightiest of the Recompense, and the benevolent store, and prolonging the lifespan, and the excellent thanking, and constant ease!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ طَوْلِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ نَعْمَائِكَ وَ جَلَالِكَ وَ قَدِيمِ إِحْسَانِكَ وَ امْتِنَانِكَ أَنْ لَا تَجْعَلَهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَّا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَنَاهُ مِنْ قَابِلٍ عَلَى‏ أَحْسَنِ حَالٍ وَ تُعَرِّفَنِي هِلَالَهُ مَعَ النَّاظِرِينَ إِلَيْهِ وَ الْمُتَعَرِّفِينَ لَهُ فِي أَعْفَى عَافِيَتِكَ وَ أَتَمِّ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ أَوْسَعِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ أَجْزَلِ قِسْمِكَ

O Allah^-azwj, and I ask You^-azwj for Your^-azwj Mercy, and Your^-azwj Leniency, and Your^-azwj Pardon, and Your^-azwj bounties, and Your^-azwj Majesty, and Your^-azwj ancient Favours, and Your^-azwj Conferment, not to Make it last of the pacts from us for a month of Ramazan until we reach it next year upon an excellent state, and let us witness its crescent with those who observe and recognise it, under Your^-azwj most complete Pardon, perfect Blessings, vast Mercy, and abundant provisions!

اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبِّيَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لِي رَبٌّ غَيْرُهُ- لَا يَكُونُ هَذَا الْوَدَاعُ مِنِّي وَدَاعَ فَنَاءٍ وَ لَا آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنَ اللِّقَاءِ حَتَّى تُرِيَنِيهِ مِنْ قَابِلٍ فِي أَسْبَغِ النِّعَمِ وَ أَفْضَلِ الرَّجَاءِ وَ أَنَا لَكَ عَلَى أَحْسَنِ الْوَفَاءِ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ وَ ارْحَمْ تَضَرُّعِي وَ تَذَلُّلِي لَكَ وَ اسْتِكَانَتِي وَ تَوَكُّلِي عَلَيْكَ فَأَنَا لَكَ سِلْمٌ لَا أَرْجُو نَجَاحاً وَ لَا مُعَافَاةً وَ لَا تَشْرِيفاً وَ لَا تَبْلِيغاً إِلَّا بِكَ وَ مِنْكَ

O Allah^-azwj! O my Lord^-azwj Who there isn’t any lord apart from Him^-azwj! Do not let this farewell not be a parting of loss nor the last of my encounters with Ramazan. Allow me to witness it again in the future under the fullest of blessings, the highest of hopes, while I remain steadfast in my devotion to You^-azwj in the best of faithfulness. Truly, You^-azwj are the Hearer of supplications. Have mercy on my humility, my supplication, my submission, and my reliance upon You^-azwj. For I surrender entirely to You^-azwj, seeking no success, safety, honour, or attainment except through You^-azwj and from You^-azwj!

فَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ وَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ بِتَبْلِيغِي شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ أَنَا مُعَافًى مِنْ كُلِّ مَكْرُوهٍ وَ مَحْذُورٍ وَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْبَوَائِقِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَعَانَنَا عَلَى صِيَامِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ قِيَامِهِ حَتَّى بَلَّغَنَا آخِرَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ.

Therefore, Confer upon me, Exalted is Your praise, sanctified are Your^-azwj Names by Granting me to reach a month of Ramazan, and O would be free from any abhorrence, and hazard, and from entirety of the destructions. The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who Assisted us upon fasting this month and its standings (for Salat) until we reach the last night from it!’’[112]

قال الشيخ أبو جعفر الطوسي ره في الأصل الذي نقلنا منه هذا الوداع بخطه ما هذا لفظه إلى هاهنا رواية الكليني‏

The sheykh Ja’far Al-Tusi said in the original which we are transmitting this farewell from by his handwriting what is this wording up to over here, a report by Al-Kulayni.

وَ رَوَى إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ الْأَحْمَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَمَّادٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ وَ عَنْ جَمَاعَةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع‏ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ وَ زَادَ فِيهِ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَحَبِّ مَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ وَ أَرْضَى مَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ص أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ وَدَاعِي وَدَاعَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَدَاعَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا وَدَاعَ آخِرِ عِبَادَتِكَ فِيهِ وَ لَا آخِرَ صَوْمِي لَكَ

And it is reported by Ibrahim Bin Is’haq Al Ahmary, from Abdullah Bin Hammad Al Ansari, from Abu Baseer, and from a group of his companions, from Sa’dan Bin Muslims, from Abu Baseer,

From Abu Abdullah^-asws, similar to that, and there is additional in it – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask You^-azwj by the most beloved of what You^-azwj have been called with, and am pleased with what You^‑azwj are Pleased with Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww, and do not Make my farewell to a month of Ramazan be farewell of my exit from the world, nor farewell being last of worshipping You^-azwj in it, nor last of my fasting for You^-azwj!

وَ ارْزُقْنِي الْعَوْدَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ الْعَوْدَ فِيهِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا وَلِيَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ اجْعَلْهَا لِي خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ يَا رَبَّ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ جَاعِلَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ رَبَّ اللَّيْلِ وَ النَّهَارِ وَ الْجِبَالِ وَ الْبِحَارِ وَ الظُّلَمِ وَ الْأَنْوَارِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ السَّمَاءِ

And Grace me the returning in it, then the returning in it by Your^-azwj Mercy, O Guardian of the Momineen, and Harmonise me to Laylat Al-Qadr in it and Make it for me better than a thousand months, O Lord^-azwj of the worlds, O Lord^-azwj of Laylat Al-Qadr and Maker of it better than a thousand months! Lord^-azwj of the night and the day, and the mountains and the oceans, and the darkness and the lights, and the earth and the sky!

يَا بَارِئُ يَا مُصَوِّرُ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا قَيُّومُ يَا بَدِيعُ لَكَ الْأَسْمَاءُ الْحُسْنَى وَ الْأَمْثَالُ الْعُلْيَا وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءُ وَ الْآلَاءُ

O Maker, O Fashioner, O Affectionate, O Bestower, O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, O Eternal, O Initiator! For You^-azwj are the most excellent Name, and the Exalted Examples, and the Greatness and the Favours!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ 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 لَا يَشُوبُهُ شَكٌّ وَ رِضًا بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي وَ أَنْ تُؤْتِيَنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ أَنْ تَقِيَنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ-

I ask You^-azwj by Your^-azwj Name, ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful’, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and Progeny^-asws of Muhammad^-saww and to Make my name during this night to be among the fortunate, and my soul with the martyrs, and my good deeds in Illiyeen, and my evil deeds Forgiven, and to Grant me conviction to embrace my heart with, and Eman not tainted by doubt, and satisfaction with what You^-azwj have Apportioned for me, and to Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Hellfire!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ وَ فِيمَا تَفْرُقُ مِنَ الْأَمْرِ الْحَكِيمِ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ مِنَ الْقَضَاءِ الَّذِي لَا يُرَدُّ وَ لَا يُبَدَّلُ وَ لَا يُغَيَّرُ أَنْ تَكْتُبَنِي مِنْ حُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ الْمَشْكُورِ سَعْيُهُمُ الْمَغْفُورِ ذَنْبُهُمُ الْمُكَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَيِّئَاتُهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ فِيمَا تَقْضِي وَ تُقَدِّرُ أَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Make among what You^-azwj Decree and Determine from the Ordained matters, and among what You^-azwj Distinguish from the wise matters during Laylat Al-Qadr, from the Decrees which can neither be return nor replaced, nor altered, to Write me as pilgrim of Hajj of Your^-azwj Sacred House, their Hajj accomplished, their striving appreciated, their sins Forgiven, their evil deeds expiated from them, and Make among what You^-azwj Decree and Determine, to Liberate my neck from the Hellfire, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ الْعِبَادُ مِثْلَكَ جُوداً وَ كَرَماً وَ أَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ وَ لَمْ يُرْغَبْ إِلَى مِثْلِكَ أَنْتَ مَوْضِعُ مَسْأَلَةِ السَّائِلِينَ وَ مُنْتَهَى رَغْبَةِ الرَّاغِبِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! I ask you^-azwj, and the servants have not asked the likes of You^-azwj in generosity and benevolence, and I desire to You^-azwj have not desired to the likes of You^-azwj! You^-azwj are place of request of the requesters, and ultimate desire of the desiring ones!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَعْظَمِ الْمَسَائِلِ كُلِّهَا وَ أَفْضَلِهَا وَ أَنْجَحِهَا الَّتِي يَنْبَغِي لِلْعِبَادِ أَنْ يَسْأَلُوكَ بِهَا يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ مَا عَلِمْتُ مِنْهَا وَ مَا لَمْ أَعْلَمْ وَ بِأَسْمَائِكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ أَمْثَالِكَ الْعُلْيَا وَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُحْصَى وَ بِأَكْرَمِ أَسْمَائِكَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَحَبِّهَا إِلَيْكَ وَ أَشْرَفِهَا عِنْدَكَ مَنْزِلَةً وَ أَقْرَبِهَا مِنْكَ وَسِيلَةً وَ أَجْزَلِهَا مِنْكَ ثَوَاباً وَ أَسْرَعِهَا لَدَيْكَ إِجَابَةً

I ask You^-azwj for the mightiest requests, all of them, and their best, and their most profitable which is befitting for the servants to be asking You^-azwj with! O Allah^-azwj, O Beneficent, and by Your^-azwj Names what I know from these and what I don’t know, and by Your^-azwj the most excellent Names, and Your^-azwj Exalted Example, and for Your^-azwj bounties which cannot be counted, and with the most Honourable of the Names to You^-azwj, and the most Beloved to You^-azwj, and their noblest of status in Your^-azwj Praise, and their closest from You^-azwj of means, and their most plentiful of the Rewards from You^-azwj, and their swiftest of Response from You^-azwj!

وَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ الْأَكْبَرِ الْأَجَلِّ الَّذِي تُحِبُّهُ وَ تَهْوَاهُ وَ تَرْضَى عَمَّنْ دَعَاكَ بِهِ وَ تَسْتَجِيبُ لَهُ دُعَاءَهُ وَ حَقٌّ عَلَيْكَ أَلَّا تُخَيِّبَ سَائِلَكَ

And by Your^-azwj Name, the Hidden, the Treasured, the Living, the Eternal, the Greatest, the most Majestic which You^-azwj Love and Desire and are Pleased with the one supplicating to You^-azwj with and you^-azwj Answer his supplication for him, and there is a right upon You^-azwj not to Shun Your^-azwj requester!

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ وَ الْإِنْجِيلِ وَ الزَّبُورِ وَ الْفُرْقَانِ وَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ دَعَاكَ بِهِ حَمَلَةُ عَرْشِكَ وَ مَلَائِكَةُ سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ جَمِيعُ الْأَصْنَافِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ أَوْ صِدِّيقٍ أَوْ شَهِيدٍ وَ بِحَقِّ الرَّاغِبِينَ إِلَيْكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ مِنْكَ الْمُتَعَوِّذِينَ بِكَ

And I ask You^-azwj with every Name which is Yours^-azwj in the Torah, and the Evangel, and the Psalms, and the Furqan, and with every Name supplicated to You^-azwj by bearers of the Throne, and Angels of Your^-azwj skies, and entirety of the types of Your^-azwj creatures whether from a Prophet^-as, or truthful, or martyr, and by the right of the ones desiring to You^-azwj by the ones of Proximity from You^-azwj, the ones seeking Refuge with You^-azwj!

وَ بِحَقِّ مُجَاوِرِي بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ حُجَّاجاً وَ مُعْتَمِرِينَ وَ مُقَدِّسِينَ وَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ عَبْدٍ مُتَعَبِّدٍ لَكَ فِي بَرٍّ أَوْ بَحْرٍ أَوْ سَهْلٍ أَوْ جَبَلٍ

And by the right of my vicinity of Your^-azwj Sacred House, those who perform Hajj and Umrah, those who sanctify it, and those who strive in Your^-azwj path, and by the right of every servant devoted to worshiping You^-azwj, whether on land or sea, in plains or mountains!

أَدْعُوكَ دُعَاءَ مَنْ قَدِ اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتُهُ وَ كَثُرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَ عَظُمَ جُرْمُهُ وَ ضَعُفَ كَدْحُهُ دُعَاءَ مَنْ لَا يَجِدُ لِنَفْسِهِ سَادّاً وَ لَا لِضَعْفِهِ مُعَوَّلًا وَ لَا لِذَنْبِهِ غَافِراً غَيْرَكَ هَارِباً إِلَيْكَ مُتَعَوِّذاً بِكَ مُتَعَبِّداً لَكَ غَيْرَ مُتَكَبِّرٍ وَ لَا مُسْتَنْكِفٍ خَائِفاً بَائِساً فَقِيراً مُسْتَجِيراً بِكَ

I supplicate to You^-azwj a supplication of the one whose destitution has intensified, and his sins are many, and his crime is mighty, and his toil is weak, a supplication of the one who cannot find a blocker for himself nor supporter for his weakness, nor a forgiver for his sins apart from You^-azwj, fleeing to You^-azwj seeking Refuge with You^-azwj, deliberating to You^-azwj, neither being arrogance nor reluctance, fearing Your^-azwj Prowess, poor, seeking shelter with You^-azwj!

أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَ عَظَمَتِكَ وَ جَبَرُوتِكَ وَ سُلْطَانِكَ وَ بِمُلْكِكَ وَ بِبَهَائِكَ وَ جُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ بِآلَائِكَ وَ حُسْنِكَ وَ جَمَالِكَ وَ بِقُوَّتِكَ عَلَى مَا أَرَدْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ

وَ تَقَبَّلْ مِنِّي شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ وَ صِيَامَهُ وَ قِيَامَهُ وَ فَرْضَهُ وَ نَوَافِلَهُ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ ارْحَمْنِي وَ اعْفُ عَنِّي وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صُمْتُهُ لَكَ وَ عَبَدْتُكَ فِيهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ وَدَاعِي إِيَّاهُ وَدَاعَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا

And Accept from me a month of Ramazan and its fasts, and its standing, and its obligations, and its optional, and Forgive for me, and Mercy me, and Pardon me, and do not Make it last of a month of Ramazan I have fasted for You^-azwj and worshipped You^-azwj in it, and do not Make my farewell to it a farewell of my exit from the world!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَوْجِبْ لِي مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ خَشْيَتِكَ أَفْضَلَ مَا أَعْطَيْتَ أَحَداً مِمَّنْ عَبَدَكَ فِيهِ

Ameen, Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لِي فِيهِ ذَنْباً إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ وَ لَا خَطِيئَةً إِلَّا مَحَوْتَهَا وَ لَا عَثْرَةً إِلَّا أَقَلْتَهَا وَ لَا دَيْناً إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهُ وَ لَا عَيْلَةً إِلَّا أَغْنَيْتَهَا وَ لَا هَمّاً إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَ لَا فَاقَةً إِلَّا سَدَدْتَهَا وَ لَا عُرْياً إِلَّا كَسَوْتَهُ وَ لَا مَرَضاً إِلَّا شَفَيْتَهُ وَ لَا دَاءً إِلَّا أَذْهَبْتَهُ وَ لَا حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا عَلَى أَفْضَلِ أَمَلِي وَ رَجَائِي فِيكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

Do not Leave out an sin of mine except Forgive it, nor a misdeed except Delete it, nor a stumble except Uproot it, nor debts except Fulfil it, nor destitution except Enrich it, nor worry except Relieve it, nor destitution except Block it, nor bareness except Clothe it, nor sickness except Heal it, nor disease except Rid it, nor need from needs of the world and the Hereafter except Fulfil it upon best of my wishes and my hopes in You^-azwj, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَ‏ لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ لَا تُذِلَّنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْزَزْتَنَا وَ لَا تَضَعْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ رَفَعْتَنَا وَ لَا تُهِنَّا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَكْرَمْتَنَا وَ لَا تُفْقِرْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَغْنَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَمْنَعْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ أَعْطَيْتَنَا وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنَا بَعْدَ إِذْ رَزَقْتَنَا وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ شَيْئاً مِنْ نِعَمِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ إِحْسَانِكَ إِلَيْنَا لِشَيْ‏ءٍ كَانَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ لَا لِمَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ مِنَّا فَإِنَّ فِي كَرَمِكَ وَ عَفْوِكَ وَ فَضْلِكَ سَعَةً لِمَغْفِرَةِ ذُنُوبِنَا فَاغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ تَجَاوَزْ عَنَّا وَ لَا تُعَاقِبْنَا عَلَيْهَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-

O Allah^-azwj, do not let our hearts deviate after having Guided us, nor let us be disgraced after having Honoured us, nor Drop us after having Elevated us, nor Demean us after having Honoured us, nor Impoverish us after having Enriched us, nor Prevent us after having Granted us, nor Deprive us after having Provided us, and do not Change anything from Your^-azwj bounties upon us, and Your^-azwj Favours to us for something which has happened from our sins, nor for what is to happen from us, for in Your^-azwj Benevolence, and Your^-azwj Pardon, and Your^-azwj Grace vastness of Your^-azwj Forgiveness of our sins. Forgive for us and Overlook from us and do not Punish us upon it, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!

اللَّهُمَّ أَكْرِمْنِي فِي مَجْلِسِي هَذَا كَرَامَةً لَا تُهِينُنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ أَعِزَّنِي عِزّاً لَا تُذِلُّنِي بَعْدَهُ أَبَداً وَ عَافِنِي عَافِيَةً لَا تَبْتَلِينِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ ارْفَعْنِي رِفْعَةً لَا تَضَعُنِي بَعْدَهَا أَبَداً وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ قَرِيبٍ وَ بَعِيدٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ صَغِيرٍ وَ كَبِيرٍ وَ شَرَّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ‏ آخِذٌ بِناصِيَتِها إِنَّ رَبِّي عَلى‏ صِراطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ‏

O Allah^-azwj! Honour me in this sitting of mine, an honour not dishonouring me after it, ever, and Honour me with a dignity not disgracing me after it, ever, and Grant me well-being such well-being not Trying me after it, ever, and Elevate me with an elevation not Dropping me after it, ever, and Turn away from me evil of every obstinate tyrant, and evil of every near and far one, and evil of every young and old, and evil of every animal You^-azwj Seize its forelock, surely my Lord^-azwj is upon a straight path!

اللَّهُمَّ مَا كَانَ فِي قَلْبِي مِنْ شَكٍّ أَوْ رِيبَةٍ أَوْ جُحُودٍ أَوْ قُنُوطٍ أَوْ فَرَحٍ أَوْ مَرَحٍ أَوْ بَطَرٍ أَوْ بَذَخٍ أَوْ خُيَلَاءَ أَوْ رِيَاءٍ أَوْ سُمْعَةٍ أَوْ شِقَاقٍ أَوْ نِفَاقٍ أَوْ كُفْرٍ أَوْ فُسُوقٍ أَوْ مَعْصِيَةٍ أَوْ شَيْ‏ءٍ لَا تُحِبُّ عَلَيْهِ وَلِيّاً لَكَ

O Allah^-azwj! Whatever was in my heart, whether from a doubt, or suspicion, or rejection, or despondency, or joy, or arrogance, or vanity, or extravagance, or snobbery, or showing off, or reputation, or wretchedness, or hypocrisy, or Kufr, or corruption, or disobedience, or something You^-azwj don’t Like Your^-azwj friend to be upon it!

فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَمْحُوَهُ مِنْ قَلْبِي وَ تُبَدِّلَنِي مَكَانَهُ إِيمَاناً وَ رِضًا بِقَضَائِكَ وَ وَفَاءً بِعَهْدِكَ وَ وَجَلًا مِنْكَ وَ زُهْداً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ رَغْبَةً فِيمَا عِنْدَكَ وَ ثِقَةً بِكَ وَ طُمَأْنِينَةً إِلَيْكَ وَ تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً إِلَيْكَ

I ask You^-azwj to Delete from my heart and Replace for me with Eman in its place, and satisfaction with Your^-azwj Decrees, and loyalty with Your^-azwj Covenant, and fearing from You^‑azwj, and ascetism in the world, and desiring regarding what is in Your^-azwj Possession, and trusting with You^-azwj, and being reassured to You^-azwj, and sincere repentance to You^-azwj!

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ بَلَّغْتَنَاهُ وَ إِلَّا فَأَخِّرْ آجَالَنَا إِلَى قَابِلٍ حَتَّى تُبَلِّغَنَاهُ فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ كَثِيراً وَ رَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ.

O Allah^-azwj! If You^-azwj have Made us reach it (death), or else Delay us to the future until You^‑azwj Make us reach it in ease from You^-azwj and well-being, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and may Allah^-azwj Send abundant Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww Progeny^‑asws, and Mercy of Allah^-azwj and His^-azwj Blessings!’’[113]

وَدَاعٌ آخَرُ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ وَدَّعَ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ وَ قَالَ- اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ الْعَهْدِ مِنْ صِيَامِي لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَطْلُعَ فَجْرُ هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لِي غَفَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُصْبِحَ وَ رَزَقَهُ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَيْهِ.

Farwell at end of a month of Ramazan we are reporting by our chain to Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al-Tal’ukbari, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, by his chain to Abu Abdullah^-asws having said: ‘One who bids farewell to a month of Ramazan in the last night from it, and he says, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Do not Make it last of the pacts from my fasting for a month of Ramazan, and I seek Refuge with You^-azwj from the dawn of this night to emerge unless and You^-azwj have Forgiven for me!’, Allah^-azwj will Forgive for him before morning, and Provide him the penitence through His^-azwj (Mercy)’’.[114]

وَدَاعٌ آخَرُ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ الدَّعَوَاتِ‏ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يُدْرِكُ الْعُلَمَاءُ عِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يَسْتَخِفُّ الْجُهَّالُ حِلْمَهُ وَ لَا يُحْسِنُ الْخَلَائِقُ وَصْفَهُ وَ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ مَا فِي الصُّدُورِ

Bidding farewell at end of a month of Ramazan we found in books of the supplications – ‘In the Name of Allah^-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful! The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Whose Knowledge the scholars cannot realise, nor can the ignorant ones underestimate His^-azwj Forbearance, nor can the created beings be good at describing Him^-azwj, nor is it hidden to Him^-azwj what is in the chests!

خَلَقَ خَلْقَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَصْلٍ وَ لَا مِثَالٍ بِلَا تَعَبٍ وَ لَا نَصَبٍ وَ لَا تَعْلِيمٍ وَ رَفَعَ السَّمَاوَاتِ الْمَوْطُودَاتِ بِلَا أَصْحَابٍ وَ لَا أَعْوَانٍ وَ بَسَطَ الْأَرْضَ عَلَى الْهَوَاءِ بِغَيْرِ أَرْكَانٍ عَلِمَ بِغَيْرِ تَعْلِيمٍ وَ خَلَقَ بِلَا مِثَالٍ عِلْمُهُ بِخَلْقِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُكَوِّنَهُمْ كَعِلْمِهِ بِهِمْ بَعْدَ تَكْوِينِهِ لَهُمْ

He^-azwj Created His^-azwj creation from without there being an original, nor a (prior) example, without fatigue, nor toil, nor teaching, and He^-azwj Raised the firmly established heavens without supporters or helpers and spread out the earth upon the air without pillars. He^-azwj Possesses knowledge without being taught and creates without precedent. His^-azwj knowledge of His^-azwj creation before bringing them into existence is as complete as His^-azwj Knowledge of them after their formation!

لَمْ يَخْلُقِ الْخَلْقَ لِتَشْدِيدِ سُلْطَانٍ وَ لَا لِخَوْفٍ مِنْ زَوَالٍ وَ لَا نُقْصَانٍ وَ لَا اسْتَعَانَ‏ بِخَلْقِهِ عَلَى ضِدٍّ مُكَابِرٍ وَ لَا نِدٍّ مُثَاوِرٍ مَا لِسُلْطَانِهِ حَدٌّ وَ لَا لِمُلْكِهِ نَفَادٌ تَقَدَّسَ بِنُورِ قُدْسِهِ دَنَا فِعْلًا وَ عَلَا فَدَنَا

He^-azwj did not Create creation to strengthen His^-azwj Dominion, nor out of fear of losing power, nor to compensate for any deficiency. He^-azwj did not seek assistance from His^-azwj creation against an opposing rival or a contending equal. His^-azwj Authority has no limits, and His^-azwj Dominion has no end. Sanctified is He^-azwj by the Light of His Holiness. He^-azwj Drew near through His^-azwj Actions and Exalted in Rank, yet remains near!

فَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً يَنْتَهِي مِنْ سَمَائِهِ إِلَى مَا لَا نِهَايَةَ لَهُ فِي اعْتِلَائِهِ حَسُنَ فَعَالُهُ وَ عَظُمَ جَلَالُهُ وَ أُوضِحَ بُرْهَانُهُ فَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ زِنَةَ الْجِبَالِ ثِقْلًا وَ عَدَدَ الْمَاءِ وَ الثَّرَى وَ عَدَدَ مَا يُرَى وَ مَا لَا يُرَى

For Him^-azwj is the Praise, a Praise that extends from His^-azwj skies to the boundless heights of His^-azwj Exaltation. Excellent are His^-azwj deeds! Magnificent is His^-azwj Majesty, and clear is His^‑azwj Proof. For Him^‑azwj is the Praise weight of the mountains in load, and measure of the water and the soil, and number of what is seen and what is not seen!

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَانَ إِذْ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَرْضٌ مَدْحِيَّةٌ وَ لَا سَمَاءٌ مَبْنِيَّةٌ وَ لَا جِبَالٌ مُرْسَيَةٌ وَ لَا شَمْسٌ تَجْرِي وَ لَا قَمَرٌ يَسْرِي وَ لَا لَيْلٌ يُدْحَى وَ لَا نَهَارٌ يُضَحَّى اكْتَفَى بِحَمْدِهِ عَنْ حَمْدِ غَيْرِهِ

The Praise is for Allah^-azwj, Who Existed when there was no flattened earth, nor a built sky, nor a lofty mountain, nor a sun flowing, nor a moon travelling, nor a night darkening, nor a day brightening! I suffice with His^-azwj Praise from praising others.

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي تَفَرَّدَ بِالْحَمْدِ وَ دَعَا بِهِ فَهُوَ وَلِيُّ الْحَمْدِ وَ مُنْشِئُهُ وَ خَالِقُهُ وَ وَاهِبُهُ مَلَكَ فَقَهَرَ وَ حَكَمَ فَعَدَلَ وَ أَضَاءَ فَاسْتَنَارَ هُوَ كَهْفُ الْحَمْدِ وَ قَرَارُهُ وَ مِنْهُ مُبْتَدَاهُ وَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْتَهَاهُ

The Praise is for Allah^-azwj Who is Individualised with the Praise and supplicated with it! He^-azwj is Guardian of the Praise and its Grower and its Creator, and its Bestower. He^-azwj is King so Subdues, and Judges so is Just, and Illuminates so Irradiates! He^-azwj is a Cave of the Praise and its settlement, and from Him^-azwj is its Initiator, and to Him^-azwj is its ultimate!

اسْتَخْلَصَ الْحَمْدَ لِنَفْسِهِ وَ رَضِيَ بِهِ مِمَّنْ حَمِدَهُ فَهُوَ الْوَاحِدُ بِلَا نِسْبَةٍ الدَّائِمُ بِلَا مُدَّةٍ الْمُنْفَرِدُ بِالْقُوَّةِ الْمُتَوَحِّدُ بِالْقُدْرَةِ لَمْ يَزَلْ مُلْكُهُ عَظِيماً وَ مِنْهُ قَدِيماً وَ قَوْلُهُ رَحِيماً وَ أَسْمَاؤُهُ ظَاهِرَةٌ رَضِيَ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ بَعْدَ الصُّنْعِ أَنْ قَالُوا- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ‏

He^-azwj Selected the Praise is for Himself^-azwj and is Pleased with it from the ones praising Him^‑azwj. He^-azwj is the One without association, Eternal without end, Singular in Power, and Unique in Might. His^-azwj Dominion has always been great and everlasting, His^-azwj Words Merciful, and His^-azwj Names evident. He^-azwj is pleased with His^-azwj servants, after creating them, when they say the Praise is for Allah^-azwj Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ مِثْلَ جَمِيعِ مَا خَلَقَ وَ زِنَتَهُ وَ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ أَضْعَافاً لَا تُحْصَى عَلَى جَمِيعِ نِعَمِهِ وَ عَلَى مَا هَدَانَا وَ آتَانَا وَ قَوَّانَا بِمَنِّهِ عَلَى صِيَامِ شَهْرِنَا هَذَا وَ مَنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِقِيَامِ بَعْضِ لَيْلِهِ وَ آتَانَا مَا لَمْ نَسْتَأْهِلْهُ وَ لَمْ نَسْتَوْجِبْهُ بِأَعْمَالِنَا

And the Praise is for Allah^-azwj like entirety of what He^-azwj Created and its weight, and a multiple of that, a multiple which cannot be counted upon entirety of His^-azwj bounties, and upon what He^-azwj has Guided us and Given us, and Strengthened us with His^-azwj Conferment upon fasting this month of ours, and Confer upon us with standing part of its night, and Granted us what we did not deserve nor obligated it due to our deeds!

فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا فَأَنْتَ مَنَنْتَ عَلَيْنَا فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا بِتَرْكِ لَذَّاتِنَا وَ اجْتِنَابِ شَهَوَاتِنَا وَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مَنِّكَ عَلَيْنَا لَا مِنْ مَنِّنَا عَلَيْكَ رَبَّنَا

For You^-azwj is the Praise, O Allah^-azwj, our Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj Conferred upon us in this month of ours due to us leaving our pleasures and shunning our lustful desires, and that is from Your^‑azwj Conferment, and that is from Your^-azwj Conferment upon us not from our conferment upon You^-azwj our Lord^-azwj!

فَلَيْسَ أَعْظَمُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ عَلَيْنَا نُحُولَ أَجْسَامِنَا وَ نَصَبَ أَبْدَانِنَا وَ لَكِنْ أَعْظَمُ الْأَمْرَيْنِ وَ أَجَلُّ الْمَصَائِبِ عِنْدَنَا أَنْ خَرَجْنَا مِنْ شَهْرِنَا هَذَا مُحْتَقِبِينَ الْخَيْبَةَ مَحْرُومِينَ قَدْ خَابَ طَمَعُنَا وَ كَذَبَ ظَنُّنَا

The greatest of matters upon us is not the weakening of our bodies or the exhaustion of our frames, but the greatest and most severe affliction would be if we emerged from this month burdened with failure and deprivation, our hopes dashed, and our expectations proven false.

فَيَا مَنْ لَهُ صُمْنَا وَ وَعْدَهُ صَدَّقْنَا وَ أَمْرَهُ اتَّبَعْنَا وَ إِلَيْهِ رَغِبْنَا- لَا تَجْعَلِ الْحِرْمَانَ حَظَّنَا وَ لَا الْخَيْبَةَ جَزَاءَنَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ حَرَمْتَنَا فَأَهْلُ ذَلِكَ نَحْنُ لِسُوءِ صَنِيعِنَا وَ كَثْرَةِ خَطَايَانَا

O the One^-azwj for Whom we fasted, in whose Promise we believed, whose Command we followed, and to whom we turned in longing, do not make deprivation our share or disappointment our Reward. For if You^-azwj Deprive us, we are deserving of that due to our wrong actions and the abundance of our sins.

وَ إِنْ تَعْفُ عَنَّا رَبَّنَا وَ تَقْضِ حَوَائِجَنَا فَأَنْتَ أَهْلُ ذَلِكَ مَوْلَانَا فَطَالَمَا بِالْعَفْوِ عِنْدَ الذُّنُوبِ اسْتَقْبَلْتَنَا وَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ لَدَى اسْتِيجَابِ عُقُوبَتِكَ أَدْرَكْتَنَا وَ بِالتَّجَاوُزِ وَ السَّتْرِ عِنْدَ ارْتِكَابِ مَعَاصِيكَ كَافَيْتَنَا وَ بِالضَّعْفِ وَ الْوَهْنِ وَ كَثْرَةِ الذُّنُوبِ وَ الْعَوْدِ فِيهَا عَرَّفْتَنَا-

But if You^-azwj Forgive us, our Lord^-azwj, and Fulfil our needs, then You^-azwj are worthy of that, our Master! For how often have You^-azwj Greeted us with Pardon in the face of our sins, encompassed us with Mercy even when Your^-azwj Punishment was due, and Compensated us with Forgiveness and concealment when we committed disobedience against You^-azwj! And how often have You^-azwj Made us aware of our frailty, weakness, the abundance of our sins, and our frequent return to them!

وَ بِالتَّجَاوُزِ وَ الْعَفْوِ عَرَفْنَاكَ رَبَّنَا فَمُنَّ عَلَيْنَا بِعَفْوِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ فَقَدْ عَظُمَتْ مُصِيبَتُنَا وَ كَثُرَ أَسَفُنَا عَلَى مُفَارَقَةِ شَهْرٍ كَبُرَ فِيهِ أَمَلُنَا قَدْ خَفِيَ عَلَيْنَا عَلَى أَيِّ الْحَالاتِ فَارَقْنَا وَ بِأَيِّ الزَّادِ مِنْهُ خَرَجْنَا أَ بِاحْتِقَابِ الْخَيْبَةِ لِسُوءِ صَنِيعِنَا أَمْ بِجَزِيلِ عَطَائِكَ بِمَنِّكَ مَوْلَانَا وَ سَيِّدَنَا فَعَلَى شَهْرِ صَوْمِنَا الْعَظِيمِ فِيهِ رَجَاؤُنَا السَّلَامُ

And by the Overlooking and the Pardoning we have recognised You^-azwj as our Lord^-azwj! Confer upon us with Your^-azwj Pardon, O Benevolent, for our affliction has grown severe, and our regret has increased over parting with a month during which our hopes were greatly raised. It remains hidden from us in what state we have departed it and with what provisions we have left it. Did we leave it burdened with failure due to our poor actions, or with abundant gifts Granted by Your^-azwj Grace, our Master and Lord! The greetings be upon the month of our fasting in which our hopes are magnified!

فَلَوْ عَقَلْنَا مُصِيبَتَنَا لِمُفَارَقَةِ شَهْرِ أَيَّامِ صَوْمِنَا عَلَى ضَعْفِ اجْتِهَادِنَا فِيهِ لَاشْتَدَّ لِذَلِكَ حُزْنُنَا وَ عَظُمَ عَلَى مَا فَاتَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الِاجْتِهَادِ تَلَهُّفُنَا

If we truly understood the gravity of our loss in parting with the month of our fasting days, given our weak efforts during it, our sorrow for this would have intensified, and our regret over the striving we missed in it would have become immense!

اللَّهُمَّ فَاجْعَلْ عِوَضَنَا مِنْ شَهْرِ صَوْمِنَا مَغْفِرَتَكَ وَ رَحْمَتَكَ رَبَّنَا وَ إِنْ كُنْتَ رَحِمْتَنَا فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا فَذَلِكَ ظَنُّنَا وَ أَمَلُنَا وَ تِلْكَ حَاجَتُنَا فَازْدَدْ عَنَّا رِضًا وَ إِنْ كُنَّا حُرِمْنَا ذَلِكَ بِذُنُوبِنَا فَمِنَ الْآنَ رَبَّنَا لَا تُفَرِّقْ جَمَاعَتَنَا حَتَّى تَشْهَدَ لَنَا بِعِتْقِنَا وَ تُعْطِيَنَا فَوْقَ أَمَلِنَا وَ تَزِيدَنَا فَوْقَ طَلِبَتِنَا

O Allah^-azwj! So Make the Reward for our month of fasting Your^-azwj Forgiveness and Mercy! Our Lord! If You^-azwj have shown us Mercy in this month of ours, then that is what we hoped and expected, and it is our need. So increase Your^-azwj Pleasure with us. But if we were deprived of that due to our sins, then from this moment on, our Lord^-azwj, do not separate us from one another until You^-azwj Bear witness to our emancipation and Grant us more than we hope for and exceed even our requests!

وَ تَجْعَلَ شَهْرَنَا هَذَا أَمَاناً لَنَا مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ عِصْمَةً لَنَا مَا أَبْقَيْتَنَا وَ إِنْ أَنْتَ بَلَّغْتَنَا شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ أَيْضاً فَبَلِّغْنَا غَيْرَ عَائِدِينَ فِي شَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا تَكْرَهُ وَ لَا مُخَالِفِينَ لِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِمَّا تُحِبُّ

And Make this month of ours a safety for us from Your^-azwj Punishment, and a protection for us for as long as You^-azwj Cause us to live, and to Make us reach a month of Ramazan as well, without returning into something from what You^-azwj Dislike nor as adversaries for anything from what You^-azwj Like!

ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِيهِ وَ اجْعَلْنَا أَسْعَدَ أَهْلِهِ بِهِ وَ إِنْ أَتَتْ آجَالُنَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ فَاجْعَلِ الْجَنَّةَ مُنْقَلَبَنَا وَ مَصِيرَنَا وَ اجْعَلْ شَهْرَنَا هَذَا أَمَاناً لَنَا مِنْ أَهْوَالِ مَا نَرِدُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اجْعَلْ خُرُوجَنَا إِلَى عِيدِنَا وَ مُصَلَّانَا وَ مُجْتَمَعَنَا خُرُوجاً مِنْ جَمِيعِ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ وُلُوجاً فِي سَابِغَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ

Then Bless for us in it, and Make us the most fortunate of its people with it, and You^-azwj Respited us besides that. So, Make the Paradise as our transfer and our destination, and Make this month of our secure for us from the horrors what we want with it, and Make our exit our exit to our Eid and our praying place, and our gathering be an exit from entirety of our sins, and access in Your^-azwj abundant Mercy!

وَ اجْعَلْنَا أَوْجَهَ مَنْ تَوَجَّهَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَقْرَبَ مَنْ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنْجَحَ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُ وَ دَعَاكَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ وَ اقْلِبْنَا مِنْ مُصَلَّانَا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَ عَصَمْتَنَا فِي بَقِيَّةِ أَعْمَارِنَا وَ أَسْعَفْتَنَا بِحَوَائِجِنَا وَ أَعْطَيْتَنَا جَمِيعَ خَيْرِ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ لَا تُعِدْنَا فِي ذَنْبٍ وَ لَا مَعْصِيَةٍ أَبَداً وَ لَا تُطْعِمْنَا رِزْقاً تَكْرَهُهُ أَبَداً

And Makes us most diverting of the ones diverting to You^-azwj, and closest of the ones drawing closer to You^-azwj, and most successful of the ones requesting You^-azwj so You^-azwj Give him, and supplicates to You^-azwj so You^-azwj Answer him, and we turn from our praying places and You^‑azwj would have Forgiven for us what is past from our sins, and Protect us in remainder of our lifetimes, and Aid us with our needs, and Grant us entire good of the Hereafter and the world, then do not let us return into a sin nor disobedience ever, nor Feed us sustenance You^-azwj Dislike ever!

وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا فِي الْحَلَالِ مَفْسَحاً وَ مُتَّسَعاً اللَّهُمَّ وَ نَبِيَّكَ الْمُجِيبَ الْمُكَرَّمَ الرَّاسِخَ لَهُ فِي قُلُوبِ أُمَّتِهِ خَالِصَ الْمَحَبَّةِ لِصَفْوِ نَصِيحَتِهِ لَهُمْ وَ شِدَّةِ شَفَقَتِهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لِتَبْلِيغِهِ رِسَالاتِكَ وَ صَبْرِهِ فِي ذَاتِكَ وَ تَحَنُّنِهِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ

And Grant us ample provision in what is Lawful and Permissible. O Allah^-azwj, as for Your ^-azwj Prophet^-saww, the honoured and responsive one, deeply rooted in the hearts of his^-saww community with sincere love for his pure advice to them, his^-saww intense compassion for them, his^-saww delivery of Your^-azwj Messages, his^-saww patience for Your^-azwj Sake, and his^-saww tenderness toward the Momineen among Your^-azwj servants!

فَاجْزِهِ اللَّهُمَّ عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ مَا جَزَيْتَ نَبِيّاً عَنْ أُمَّتِهِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ عَدَدَ كَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّاتِ أَنْتَ وَ مَلَائِكَتُكَ وَ ارْفَعْهُ إِلَى أَعْلَى الدَّرَجِ وَ أَشْرَفِ الْغُرَفِ حَيْثُ يَغْبِطُهُ الْأَوَّلُونَ وَ الْآخِرُونَ

Reward him, O Allah^-azwj, on our behalf with the best Reward You^-azwj have Given to any Prophet^-saww on behalf of his^-saww nation. Bestow Your^-azwj bounties upon him^-saww in a measure equal to Your^-azwj Perfect Words, by You^-saww and Your^-azwj Angels, and Raise him^-saww to the highest ranks and the most noble chambers, where the former ones and the latter ones would envy him^-saww.

وَ نَضِّرْ وُجُوهَنَا بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَيْهِ‏ فِي جِنَانِكَ وَ أَقِرَّ أَعْيُنَنَا وَ أَنِلْنَا مِنْ حَوْضِهِ رَيّاً لَا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ وَ لَا شَقَاءَ وَ بَلِّغْ رُوحَهُ مِنْكَ تَحِيَّةً وَ سَلَاماً مِنَّا مُسْتَشْهَداً لَهُ بِالْبَلَاغِ وَ النَّصِيحَةِ

Brighten our faces by allowing us to behold him^-saww in Your^-azwj Gardens and Delight our eyes and let us attain from his^-saww Fountain such a saturation there will be no thirst after it, nor wretchedness, and Deliver to him^-saww Salutation from You^-azwj and greetings from us as a testimony for him^-saww of having delivered and advised!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ بَلِّغْ أَرْوَاحَهُمْ مِنَّا السَّلَامَ وَ شَهَادَتَنَا لَهُمْ بِالنَّصِيحَةِ وَ الْبَلَاغِ وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مَلَائِكَتِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ وَ اجْزِ نَبِيَّنَا عَنَّا أَفْضَلَ الْجَزَاءِ

O Allah^-azwj, and Send Salawaat upon entirety of Your^-azwj Prophets^-as and Your^-azwj Rasool(s)^‑as, and Deliver to their^-as souls the greetings and our testimonies with the advising and the delivering, and Send Salawaat upon all Your^-azwj Angels, and Reward our Prophet^-saww from our behalf, the best Rewards!

اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا وَ لِمَنْ وَلَدَنَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَ أَدْخِلْ عَلَى أَسْلَافِنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ الرَّوْحَ وَ الرَّحْمَةَ وَ الضِّيَاءَ وَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ

O Allah^-azwj! Forgive for us and for the ones from the believing men and the believing women who begot us, the living from them and the deceased, and upon our ancestors from the people of Eman, Enter upon them the comfort and the mercy, and the illumination, and the Forgiveness!

اللَّهُمَّ انْصُرْ جُيُوشَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ اسْتَنْقِذْ أُسَارَاهُمْ وَ اجْعَلْ جَائِزَتَكَ لَهُمْ جَنَّاتِ النَّعِيمِ

O Allah^-azwj! Help the armies of Muslims, and Rescue their captives, and Make Your^-azwj Rewards for them be the Gardens of Bliss!

اللَّهُمَّ اطْوِ لِحُجَّاجِ بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ وَ عُمَّارِهِ الْبُعْدَ وَ سَهِّلْ لَهُمُ الْحَزْنَ وَ ارْجِعْهُمْ غَانِمِينَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ مَغْفُوراً لَهُمْ كُلُّ ذَنْبٍ وَ مَنْ أَوْجَبْتَ عَلَيْهِ الْحَجَّ مِنْ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ص فَيَسِّرْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ اقْضِ عَنْهُ فَرِيضَتَكَ وَ تَقَبَّلْهَا مِنْهُ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O Allah^-azwj! Shorten the distance to pilgrims of Your^-azwj Sacred House and Umrah, and Ease for them the grief, and Return them as gainers of every good, all their sins having been Forgiven for them, and one if the Hajj is obligated upon the ones from community of Muhammad^-saww, Facilitate that for him and Fulfil his obligation on His^-azwj behalf, and Accept it from him! Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنْ مَكْرُوبِي أُمَّةِ أَحْمَدَ وَ مَنْ كَانَ مِنْهُمْ فِي غَمٍّ أَوْ هَمٍّ أَوْ ضَنْكٍ أَوْ مَرَضٍ فَفَرِّجْ عَنْهُ وَ أَعْظِمْ أَجْرَهُ

O Allah^-azwj, and Relieve from the distresses of the community of Ahmad^-saww, and the ones from them who was in sadness, or worries, or constriction, or sickness, so Relieve from him and Enlarge his Rewards!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا سَأَلْتُكَ فَافْعَلْ ذَلِكَ بِنَا وَ بِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ أَشْرِكْنَا فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِهِمْ وَ أَشْرِكْهُمْ فِي صَالِحِ دُعَائِنَا

O Allah^-azwj, and just as I have requested You^-azwj, so Do that with us and with entirety of the believing men and the believing women, and Participate us in their righteous supplications and Participate them in our righteous supplications!

اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ بَعْضَنَا عَلَى بَعْضٍ بَرَكَةً اللَّهُمَّ وَ مَا سَأَلْنَاكَ أَوْ لَمْ نَسْأَلْكَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الْخَيْرِ كُلِّهِ فَأَعْطِنَاهُ وَ مَا نَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْهُ أَوْ لَمْ نَعُذْ مِنْ جَمِيعِ الشَّرِّ كُلِّهِ فَأَعِذْنَا مِنْهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ

O Allah^-azwj! Make some of us be a Blessing upon others! O Allah^-azwj, and whatever we request You^-azwj or do not request You^-azwj from entirety of the goodness, all of it, so Grant it to us, and whatever we seek Refuge from or do not seek Refuge from, from entirety of the evil, all of it, Refuge us from it by Your^-azwj Mercy, and Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save us from Punishment of the Hellfire!

اللَّهُمَّ وَ اجْمَعْ لَنَا خَيْرَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ أَعِذْنَا مِنْ شَرِّهِمَا يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

O Allah^-azwj, and Gather for us goodness of the Hereafter and the world, and Refuge us from their evils, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[115]

وَدَاعٌ آخَرُ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي نُسْخَةٍ عَتِيقَةٍ بِخَطِّ الرَّضِيِّ الْمُوسَوِيِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَحَبِّ مَا دُعِيتَ بِهِ وَ أَرْضَى مَا رَضِيتَ بِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

Another supplication of a month of Ramazan we found in an ancient copy in the handwriting of Al-Razi Al-Musawy – ‘I ask You^-azwj the most beloved of what You^-azwj have been called with, and most Pleasing of what You^-azwj have been Pleased from Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of the Household of Muhammad^-saww, upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings!

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ آخِرَ وَدَاعِ شَهْرِي هَذَا وَدَاعَ خُرُوجِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لَا وَدَاعَ آخِرِ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ وَفِّقْنِي فِيهِ لِلَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ اجْعَلْهَا لِي خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ مَعَ تَضَاعُفِ الْأَجْرِ وَ الْإِجَابَةِ وَ الْعَفْوِ عَنِ الذَّنْبِ بِرِضَا الرَّبِّ.

Send Salawaat upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws and do not let this farewell be last farewell of this month of mine be my exit from the world, nor last act of worshipping You^-azwj, and Harmonise me in it for Laylat Al-Qadr, and Make it better for me than a thousand months with the multiple Rewards, and the Response, and the Pardon from the sins with Satisfaction of the Lord^-azwj!’’[116]

دُعَاءٌ آخَرُ وُجِدَ فِي عَقِيبِ هَذَا الْوَدَاعِ‏ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا مُبْدِئَ الْبَدَايَا- وَ يَا مُصَوِّرَ الْبَرَايَا وَ يَا خَالِقَ السَّمَاءِ وَ يَا إِلَهَ مَنْ بَقِيَ وَ مَنْ مَضَى وَ يَا مَنْ رَفَعَ السَّمَاءَ وَ سَطَحَ الْأَرْضَ

Another supplication found in follow-up of this farewell – ‘O Allah^-azwj! I ask you^-azwj, O Beginner of the beginnings, and O Fashioner of the persons, and O Creator of the sky, and O God^-azwj of the ones who remains and ones of the past, and O the One^-azwj Who Raised the sky and Spread the earth!

وَ بِأَنَّكَ تَبْعَثُ أَرْوَاحَ أَهْلِ الْبَلَاءِ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَ سُلْطَانِكَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ وَ إِمَائِكَ الْأَذِلَّاءِ وَ بِأَنَّكَ تَبْعَثُ الْمَوْتَى وَ تُمِيتُ الْأَحْيَاءَ وَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى

And by that You^-azwj will Resurrect the souls of the people of affliction by Your^-azwj Power, and Your^-azwj Authority upon Your^-azwj servants and Your^-azwj maids, the humiliated, and by that You^-azwj will Resurrect the dead and Cause the living ones to dies, and You^-azwj Revive the death!

وَ أَنْتَ‏ رَبُّ الشِّعْرى‏ وَ مَنَاةَ الثَّالِثَةِ الْأُخْرَى صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَاةً تَكُونُ لَكَ رِضًا وَ ارْزُقْنِي بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ وَ مَنْزِلَتِهِمْ فِي هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ النُّهَى وَ التُّقَى وَ الصَّبْرَ عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ وَ الْعَوْنَ عَلَى الْقَضَاءِ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعَافِيَةِ وَ الْمُعَافَاةِ وَ هَبْ لِي يَقِينَ أَهْلِ التُّقَى وَ أَعْمَالَ أَهْلِ النُّهَى

And You^-azwj are the Lord^-azwj of Sirius and the other three (stars being worshipped)! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon People^-asws of the Household of Muhammad^-saww, a Salawaat which would be Pleasing to You^-azwj, and Grace me his^-saww status and their^-asws status, during this Blessed month, the insight, and the piety, and the patience at the afflictions, and the Assistance upon the Decree, and Make me from the people of well-being, and the good health, and Gift to me conviction of the pious people, and deeds of the people insight!

فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ يَا إِلَهِي ضَعْفِي عِنْدَ الْبَلَاءِ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي فِي شَهْرِكَ الَّذِي عَظَّمْتَ بَرَكَتَهُ الدُّعَاءَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي إِلَهِي فِي الدِّينِ وَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مَعَ مَنْ أَتَوَلَّى وَ لَا تُلْحِقْنِي بِمَنْ مَضَى مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجُحُودِ فِي هَذِهِ الدُّنْيَا

O my God^-azwj! You^-azwj Know my weakness during the afflictions, so Respond to me in Your^‑azwj month in which Blessings of the supplication, and my God^-azwj, Make me in the religion and the world and the Hereafter along with the one I befriend, and do not Join me with the ones of the past from the people of rejection in this world!

وَ اجْعَلْنِي مَعَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ فِي كُلِّ عَافِيَةٍ وَ بَلَاءٍ وَ كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ وَ رَخَاءٍ احْشُرْنِي مَعَهُمْ يَوْمَ يُحْشَرُ النَّاسُ ضُحًى وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي بِمَنْزِلَتِهِ وَ مَنْزِلَتِهِمْ عَذَابَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ خِزْيَ الدُّنْيَا وَ فَقْرَهَا وَ فَاقَتَهَا وَ الْبَلَاءَ يَا مَوْلَايَاهْ يَا وَلِيَّ نِعْمَتَاهْ آمِينَ آمِينَ يَا رَبَّاهْ

And Make me to be with Muhammad^-saww and People^-asws of his^-saww Household, upon him^‑saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings in every well-being, and affliction, and every adversity and prosperity, and my Resurrection be with them^-asws on the Day of Resurrection of the people at noon, and turn away from me, due to his^-saww status and their^-asws status, Punishment of the Hereafter, and disgrace of the world and its poverty and its destitution, and the affliction, O Master, O Guardian of bounties! Ameen, Ameen, O Lord^-azwj!’

ثُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ وَ سَلْ حَوَائِجَكَ تُقْضَى إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ.

Then send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and upon People^-asws of his^-saww Household, and upon him^-saww and upon them^-asws be the greetings, and ask your needs, these will be Fulfilled, if Allah^-azwj so Desires!’’[117]

وَدَاعٌ آخَرُ لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَجَدْنَاهُ فِي كُتُبِ الدَّعَوَاتِ‏ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى نِعَمِهِ الْمُتَظَاهِرَةِ وَ أَيَادِيهِ الْحَسَنَةِ الْجَمِيلَةِ عَلَى مَا أَوْلَانَا وَ خَصَّنَا بِكَرَامَتِهِ إِيَّانَا وَ فَضْلِهِ وَ عَلَى مَا أَنْعَمَ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا وَ تَصَرُّمِ شَهْرِنَا الْمُبَارَكِ مَقْضِيّاً عَنَّا مَا افْتَرَضَ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ صِيَامِهِ وَ قِيَامِهِ

Farewell at end of Ramazan we found in the books of supplications – ‘The Praise is for Allah^‑azwj upon His^-azwj apparent bounties, and His^-azwj excellent beautiful Favours upon what He^-azwj Bestowed us, and Specialised us with its honour us, and its Grace, and what He^-azwj Favoured with upon us, and our Blessed month has departed, fulfilled from us had been obligated upon us from its fasting, and its standings (for Salat)!

أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ الطَّاهِرِينَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الَّذِينَ أَذْهَبْتَ عَنْهُمُ الرِّجْسَ وَ طَهَّرْتَهُمْ تَطْهِيراً وَ أَنْ تَتَقَبَّلَ مِنَّا وَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنَا مَا تُؤْتِينَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ وَ تُعْطِيَنَا مَا أَمَّلْنَا وَ رَجَوْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الثَّوَابِ وَ أَنْ تُزَكِّيَ أَعْمَالَنَا وَ تَتَقَبَّلَ إِحْسَانَنَا فَإِنَّكَ وَلِيُّ النِّعْمَةِ كُلِّهَا وَ إِلَيْكَ الرَّغْبَةُ بِجُودِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ.

I ask You^-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad^-saww and his^-saww pure Progeny^-asws, the goodly, those You^-azwj Kept away the uncleanness from them^-asws and Purified them^-asws a Purification, and to Accept from us, and to Provide us what You^-azwj Give us in it from the Recompense, and to Grant us what we are wishing for and hoping in it of the Rewards, and to Purify our deeds, and Accept our good needs, for You^-azwj Guardian of the bounties, all of them, and to You^-azwj is the desire by Your^-azwj Generous and Your^-azwj Benevolence, Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds!’’[118]

فصل و اعلم أنك تدعي في بعض هذه الوداعات أن شهر رمضان أحزنك فراقه و فقده و أوجعك لما فاتك من فضله و رفده فيراد منك تصديق هذه الدعوى بأن يكون على وجهك أثر الحزن و البلوى و لا تختم آخر يوم منه بالكذب في‏ المقال و الخلل في الفعال

Know that in some of these farewells, you claim that the month of Ramazan has saddened you by its departure and absence, and that you are grieved over what you have missed of its Blessings and bounties. It is required of you to confirm this claim by showing on your face signs of sorrow and hardship. Do not end the last day of this month with false statements and flawed actions.

و من وظائف الشيعة الإمامية بل من وظائف الأمة المحمدية أن يستوحشوا في هذه الأوقات و يتأسفوا عند أمثال هذه المقامات على ما فاتهم من أيام المهدي الذي بشرهم و وعدهم به جده محمد عليهما أفضل الصلوات على قدومه ما لو كان حاضرا ظفروا به من السعادات ليراهم الله جل جلاله على قدم الصفا و الوفاء لملوكهم الذين كانوا سبب سعادتهم في الدنيا و يوم الوعيد و ليقولوا ما معناه.

Among the obligations of the Shia Imams^-asws, and indeed of the entire community of Muhammad^-saww is to feel estrangement in these times and to lament in moments like these over what they have missed of the days of Al Mahdi^-ajfj, whose coming was foretold and promised by his grandfather Muhammad^-saww, may the best Salawaat be upon them^-asws both, upon his^-ajfj advent, what were this to happen, they would win with the happiness of Allah^-azwj Mighty and Majestic would See them standing firm in sincerity and loyalty to their (true) kings (Imams^-asws), those who were the cause of their happiness in the world and the Promised Day, and let them be saying what its meaning is (in a couplet) –

أردد طرفي في الديار فلا أرى‏

وجوه أحبائي الذين أريد.

I wanted to gaze into the houses but I cannot see faces of my loved ones, those I had intended.

فالمصيبة بفقده على أهل الأديان أعظم من المصيبة بفقد شهر رمضان فلو كانوا قد فقدوا والدا شفيقا أو أخا معاضدا شقيقا أو ولدا بارا رفيقا أ ما كانوا يستوحشون لفقده و يتوجعون لبعده و أين الانتفاع بهؤلاء من الانتفاع بالمهدي خليفة خاتم الأنبياء و إمام عيسى ابن مريم في الصلاة و الولاء و مزيل أنواع البلاء و مصلح أمور جميع من تحت السماء

The difficulty of missing him^-ajfj is a greater calamity for the people of faith than the loss of the month of Ramazan. If they were to lose a compassionate parent, a supportive brother, or a kind and dutiful child, would they not feel estranged by their absence and grieved by their loss? How, then, does such loss compare to the benefit of Al-Mahdi^-ajfj, the successor^-ajfj of the Seal of the Prophets^-as, the one who will lead Isa^-as Ibn Maryam^-as in Salat and allegiance, the remover of all forms of tribulation, and the reformer of the affairs of all beneath the skies?

ذكر ما يحسن أن يكون أواخر ملاطفته لمالك نعمته و استدعاء رحمته

This reflects the beauty of what should be included in the final acts of gratitude to the Owner of bounties and in seeking His^-azwj Mercy.

و هو مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى الشَّيْخِ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ هَارُونَ بْنِ مُوسَى التَّلَّعُكْبَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَجْلَانَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع يَقُولُ‏ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ ع إِذَا دَخَلَ شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ لَا يَضْرِبُ عَبْداً لَهُ وَ لَا أَمَةً وَ كَانَ إِذَا أَذْنَبَ الْعَبْدُ وَ الْأَمَةُ يَكْتُبُ عِنْدَهُ أَذْنَبَ فُلَانٌ أَذْنَبَتْ فُلَانَةُ يَوْمَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ لَمْ يُعَاقِبْهُ

And it is what we are reporting by our chain to the sheykh Abu Muhammad Haroun Bin Musa Al Tal’ukbari, may Allah^-azwj be Pleased with him, by his chain to Muhammad Bin Ajlan who said,

‘I heard Abu Abdullah^-asws saying: ‘Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws was such, whenever a month of Ramazan enters, he^-asws neither struck a slave nor a maid, and whenever the slave and the maid offended, he^-asws would write it with him^-asws: ‘So and so slave committed an offence’, So and so maid committed an offence’, on such and such day and did not punish him.

فَيَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْأَدَبُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ دَعَاهُمْ وَ جَمَعَهُمْ حَوْلَهُ ثُمَّ أَظْهَرَ الْكِتَابَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا فُلَانُ فَعَلْتَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ لَمْ أُؤَدِّبْكَ أَ تَذْكُرُ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ عَلَى آخِرِهِمْ وَ يُقَرِّرُهُمْ جَمِيعاً

He^-asws would collect the disciplines against them until when it would be the last night of a month of Ramazan, he^-asws would call them and gather them around him^-asws. Then he^-asws revealed the writing then said: ‘O so and so, you did such and such and I^-asws did not discipline! Do you remember that?’ He would say, ‘Yes, O son^-asws of Rasool-Allah^-saww!’ – until he^-asws would come to their last one and draw them all closer.

ثُمَّ يَقُومُ وَسْطَهُمْ وَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ ارْفَعُوا أَصْوَاتَكُمْ وَ قُولُوا يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ إِنَّ رَبَّكَ قَدْ أَحْصَى عَلَيْكَ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلْتَ كَمَا أَحْصَيْتَ عَلَيْنَا كُلَّ مَا عَمِلْنَا وَ لَدَيْهِ كِتَابٌ يَنْطِقُ عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ- لا يُغادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَ لا كَبِيرَةً مِمَّا أَتَيْتَ‏ إِلَّا أَحْصاها

Then he^-asws would stand in their midst and say to them: ‘Raise your voices and say, ‘O Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws! Your^-asws Lord^-azwj has Counted upon you^-asws all what You^-azwj done just as He^‑azwj has Counted them upon us all what we have done and with Him^-azwj is a Book speaking upon you^-asws with the truth neither leaving (anything) small or large except it numbers it?’ [18:49].

وَ تَجِدُ كُلَّ مَا عَمِلْتَ لَدَيْهِ حَاضِراً كَمَا وَجَدْنَا كُلَّ مَا عَمِلْنَا لَدَيْكَ حَاضِراً فَاعْفُ وَ اصْفَحْ كَمَا تَرْجُو مِنَ الْمَلِيكِ‏ الْعَفْوَ وَ كَمَا تُحِبُّ أَنْ يَعْفُوَ عَنْكَ فَاعْفُ عَنَّا تَجِدْهُ عَفُوّاً وَ بِكَ رَحِيماً وَ لَكَ غَفُوراً- وَ لا يَظْلِمُ رَبُّكَ أَحَداً

And you^-asws will find what you^-asws have done present with Him^-azwj just as we will find all what we have done present in front of you^-asws, therefor pardon and excuse just as you^-asws are hoping for the Pardon from the King, and just as you^-asws love to be pardoned! Pardon us, you^‑asws will find Pardon, and Him^-azwj being Merciful with you^-asws, and Forgiving to you^-asws, and your^-asws Lord^-azwj will not be unjust to anyone!

كَمَا لَدَيْكَ كِتَابٌ يَنْطِقُ بِالْحَقِّ عَلَيْنَا لا يُغادِرُ صَغِيرَةً وَ لا كَبِيرَةً مِمَّا أَتَيْنَاهَا إِلَّا أَحْصاها فَاذْكُرْ يَا عَلِيَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ ذُلَّ مَقَامِكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَبِّكَ الْحَكَمِ الْعَدْلِ الَّذِي لَا يَظْلِمُ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ وَ يَأْتِي بِهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَ كَفى‏ بِاللَّهِ حَسِيباً وَ شَهِيداً

Just as in front of you^-asws is a book speaking with the truth against us, neither leaving out small nor big from what we have committed, except it counts it, so recall, O Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws, humbleness of your^-asws position in front of your^-asws Wise Lord^-azwj, the Just Who does not do injustice the weight of a seed of mustard, and He^-azwj shall Bring it on the Day of Qiyamah, and suffice with Allah^-azwj as a Reckoner and a Witness!

فَاعْفُ وَ اصْفَحْ يَعْفُ عَنْكَ الْمَلِيكُ وَ يَصْفَحْ فَإِنَّهُ يَقُولُ‏ وَ لْيَعْفُوا وَ لْيَصْفَحُوا أَ لا تُحِبُّونَ أَنْ يَغْفِرَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ‏ وَ هُوَ يُنَادِي بِذَلِكَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ يُلَقِّنُهُمْ وَ هُمْ يُنَادُونَ مَعَهُ وَ هُوَ وَاقِفٌ بَيْنَهُمْ يَبْكِي وَ يَنُوحُ

So, pardon and excuse, the King will Pardon you^-asws, and excuse for He^-azwj Says: and let them be pardoning and let them be excusing. Do you not love that Allah should Forgive you? [24:22]’ – and he^-asws would call out with that upon himself^-asws and indoctrinating them and they would call out along with him^-asws, and he^-asws would stand between them crying and wailing.

وَ يَقُولُ رَبِّ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ نَعْفُوَ عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَنَا فَقَدْ ظَلَمْنَا أَنْفُسَنَا فَنَحْنُ قَدْ عَفَوْنَا عَمَّنْ ظَلَمَنَا كَمَا أَمَرْتَ فَاعْفُ عَنَّا فَإِنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنَّا وَ مِنَ الْمَأْمُورِينَ

And he^-asws said: ‘Lord^-azwj! You^-azwj have Commanded us to pardon the ones being unjust to us, so we have been unjust to ourselves. We are pardoning from the ones having been unjust to us just as You^-azwj have Commanded, therefore Pardon us for You^-azwj are Foremost with that than we are and from the ones Commanded!

وَ أَمَرْتَنَا أَنْ لَا نَرُدَّ سَائِلًا عَنْ أَبْوَابِنَا وَ قَدْ أَتَيْنَاكَ سُؤَّالًا وَ مَسَاكِينَ وَ قَدْ أَنَخْنَا بِفِنَائِكَ وَ بِبَابِكَ نَطْلُبُ نَائِلَكَ وَ مَعْرُوفَكَ وَ عَطَاءَكَ فَامْنُنْ بِذَلِكَ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَا تُخَيِّبْنَا فَإِنَّكَ أَوْلَى بِذَلِكَ مِنَّا وَ مِنَ الْمَأْمُورِينَ

And You^-azwj Commanded us not to return any beggar from our doors, and we have come to You^-azwj as beggars and needy, and are whining (humming) at Your^-azwj courtyard and at Your^-azwj door seeking Your^-azwj Giving and Your^-azwj Act of Kindness, and Your^-azwj awards, so Confer with that upon us and do not Disappoint us, for Your^-azwj are Foremost with that than we are, and from the Commanded ones!

إِلَهِي كَرُمْتَ فَأَكْرِمْنِي إِذْ كُنْتُ مِنْ سُؤَّالِكَ وَ جُدْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ فَاخْلِطْنِي بِأَهْلِ نَوَالِكَ يَا كَرِيمُ

My God^-azwj! I have honoured, so Honour me when I have been from Your^-azwj beggars, and be Generous with the Acts of Kindness and Mingle me with the people of Your^-azwj awards, O Benevolent!’

ثُمَّ يُقْبِلُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ يَقُولُ قَدْ عَفَوْتُ عَنْكُمْ فَهَلْ عَفَوْتُمْ عَنِّي وَ مِمَّا كَانَ مِنِّي إِلَيْكُمْ مِنْ سُوءِ مَلَكَةٍ فَإِنِّي مَلِيكُ سَوْءٍ لَئِيمٌ ظَالِمٌ مَمْلُوكٌ لِمَلِيكٍ كَرِيمٍ جَوَادٍ عَادِلٍ مُحْسِنٍ مُتَفَضِّلٍ

Then he^-asws faced towards them and say, ‘I have forgiven you all, so have you forgiven me^‑asws, and from what has happened from me^-asws to you of any evil in my^-asws control, for I^-asws were to be from evil king, blameworthy, unjust slave to the Benevolent King, Generous, Just, Good Doer, Gracious!’

فَيَقُولُونَ قَدْ عَفَوْنَا عَنْكَ يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَ مَا أَسَأْتَ

They keep saying, ‘We have forgiven you^-asws, O our master, and you^-asws did not do evil!’

فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ قُولُوا اللَّهُمَّ اعْفُ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ كَمَا عَفَا عَنَّا فَأَعْتِقْهُ مِنَ النَّارِ كَمَا أَعْتَقَ رِقَابَنَا مِنَ الرِّقِّ

He^-asws would say to them: ‘Say, ‘O Allah^-azwj! Pardon Ali^-asws Bin Al-Husayn^-asws just as he^-asws has pardoned us, so Liberate him^-asws from the Hellfire just as he^-asws has liberated our necks from the servitude!’

فَيَقُولُونَ ذَلِكَ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ اذْهَبُوا فَقَدْ عَفَوْتُ عَنْكُمْ وَ أَعْتَقْتُ رِقَابَكُمْ رَجَاءً لِلْعَفْوِ عَنِّي وَ عِتْقِ رَقَبَتِي فَيُعْتِقُهُمْ

They would be saying that, so he^-asws would say: ‘O Allah^-azwj, Ameen, Lord^-azwj of the worlds! Go, for I^-asws have pardoned you all and have liberated your necks hope for the Pardoning from me^-asws and Liberation of my neck!’ Thus, he^-asws would free them all.

فَإِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ أَجَازَهُمْ بِجَوَائِزَ تَصُونُهُمْ وَ تُغْنِيهِمْ عَمَّا فِي أَيْدِي النَّاسِ وَ مَا مِنْ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا وَ كَانَ يُعْتِقُ فِيهَا فِي آخِرِ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ مَا بَيْنَ الْعِشْرِينَ رَأْساً إِلَى أَقَلَّ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ وَ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى فِي كُلِّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ عِنْدَ الْإِفْطَارِ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفَ أَلْفِ عَتِيقٍ مِنَ النَّارِ كُلًّا قَدِ اسْتَوْجَبَ النَّارَ

When it would be the day of Al-Fitr (Eid), he^-asws would reward them with rewards protecting them and enriching them from what is in the hands of the people, and there is none from a year except and he^-asws would free during it in the last night of a month of Ramazan, what is between twenty heads up to less or more, and he^-asws say: ‘For Allah^-azwj the Exalted, during every night of a month of Ramazan at the time of breaking the fast, there are seventy million Liberations from the Hellfire, all of them having been obligated the Hellfire!’

فَإِذَا كَانَ آخِرُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ أَعْتَقَ فِيهَا مِثْلَ مَا أَعْتَقَ فِي جَمِيعِهِ وَ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ أَنْ يَرَانِيَ اللَّهُ- وَ قَدْ أَعْتَقْتُ رِقَاباً فِي مِلْكِي فِي دَارِ الدُّنْيَا رَجَاءَ أَنْ يُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ

When it would be the last night of a month of Ramazan, He^-azwj Liberates during it similar to what He^-azwj had Liberated in its whole month, and I^-asws love it if Allah^-azwj would See me and I^-asws have liberated necks in my possession in the house of the world hoping that He^-azwj would Liberate me^-asws from the Hellfire!’

وَ مَا اسْتَخْدَمَ خَادِماً فَوْقَ حَوْلٍ كَانَ إِذَا مَلَكَ عَبْداً فِي أَوَّلِ السَّنَةِ أَوْ فِي وَسَطِ السَّنَةِ إِذَا كَانَ لَيْلَةُ الْفِطْرِ أَعْتَقَ وَ اسْتَبْدَلَ سِوَاهُمْ فِي الْحَوْلِ الثَّانِي ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَفْعَلُ حَتَّى لَحِقَ بِاللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ لَقَدْ كَانَ يَشْتَرِي السُّودَانَ وَ مَا بِهِ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ يَأْتِي بِهِمْ عَرَفَاتٍ فَيَسُدُّ بِهِمْ تِلْكَ الْفُرَجَ وَ الْخِلَالَ فَإِذَا أَفَاضَ أَمَرَ بِعِتْقِ رِقَابِهِمْ وَ جَوَائِزَ لَهُمْ مِنَ الْمَالِ.

And servant had served him^-asws more than a year, whether he^-asws had owned a slave in the beginning of the year or in the middle of the year. Whenever it would be the night of Al-Fitr (Eid), he^-asws would liberate and replace other in the second year. Then he^-asws would liberate like that. He^-asws kept doing that until he^-asws met Allah^-azwj the Exalted; and he^-asws had bought slave and there was no need for him^-asws to them. He would come with them at Arafaat and close the gaps and the spaces with them. When he^-asws have accomplished the matter, he^-asws would liberate their necks and rewarded them from the wealth’’.[119]

أقول و من وظائف هذه الليلة أن يختم عملها على الوجه الذي قدمناه في أول ليلة منه فإياك أن تهون به أو تعرض عنه.

I am saying, ‘And from the duties of this night is that its deeds should be ended upon the aspect which we have forwarded regarding the first night of it, so beware of taking lightly with it or turning away from it’.
