CHAPTER 85 – ACTS OF WORSHIP ON THE DAY OF AL GHADEER AND ITS NIGHT, AND THEIR SUPPLICATIONS
أقول: قد ذكرنا أكثر ما يناسب هذا الباب في كتاب الطهارة و الصلاة و الدعاء و كتاب الصيام و كتاب المزار و أوردنا أيضا جمل ما يتعلق بيوم الغدير في كتاب الفتن و كتاب أحوال مولانا أمير المؤمنين ع و غير ذلك أيضا.
I say, ‘We have mentioned most of what is related to this chapter in ‘Kitab Al-Tahara Wa Al-Salat Wa Al-Dua’, and ‘Kitab Al-Siyam’, and ‘Kitab Al-Mazaar’, and we are referring as well a summary of what is appropriate with the day of Al-Ghadeer in ‘Kitab Al-Fitan’, and ‘Kitab Ahwaal of our Master Amir Al-Momineen-asws’, and other than that as well’.
1- قل، إقبال الأعمال رَوَيْنَا بِالْأَسَانِيدِ الْمُتَّصِلَةِ مِمَّا ذَكَرَهُ وَ رَوَاهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الطِّرَازِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ عَنْ دَاوُدَ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ الرَّقِّيِّ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ جُوَيْنٍ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ وَ رَوَيْنَا بِأَسَانِيدِنَا أَيْضاً إِلَى الشَّيْخِ الْمُفِيدِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ جُوَيْنٍ أَبِي هَارُونَ الْعَبْدِيِّ أَيْضاً
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We are reporting by our chains connected from to what we mention, and it is reported by Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Tarrazy in his book, from Muhammad Bin Sinan, from Dawood Bin Kaseer Al-Raqy, from Umarah Bin Juweyn Abu Haroun Al-Abdy, and we are reporting by our chains also to the sheykh Al-Mufeed Muhammad Bin Al-Numan among what he reported from Umarah Bin Juweyn Abu Haroun Al Abdy as well.
قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فِي الْيَوْمِ الثَّامِنَ عَشَرَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ فَوَجَدْتُهُ صَائِماً فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمٌ عَظَّمَ اللَّهُ حُرْمَتَهُ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ أَكْمَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ فِيهِ الدِّينَ وَ تَمَّمَ عَلَيْهِمُ النِّعْمَةَ وَ جَدَّدَ لَهُمْ مَا أَخَذَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْمِيثَاقِ وَ الْعَهْدِ فِي الْخَلْقِ الْأَوَّلِ إِذْ أَنْسَاهُمُ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْقِفَ وَ وَفَّقَهُمْ لِلْقَبُولِ مِنْهُ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْهُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِنْكَارِ الَّذِينَ جَحَدُوا
He said, ‘I entered to see Abu Abdullah-asws during the 18th day of Zil Hijjah. I found him-asws fasting. He-asws said: ‘This day, is a day Allah-azwj had Magnified His-azwj Sanctity upon the believers when Allah-azwj Perfected the religion in it, and Completed the bounties upon them, and Renewed for them what Covenant and the Pact He-azwj had Taken upon them in the first creation when Allah-azwj Caused them to forget that Covenant and Harmonised them for the acceptance from Him-azwj, and did not Make them from the people of denial, those who rejected’.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا صَوَابُ صَوْمِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ
I said to him-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! What makes fasting this day correct?’
فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ وَ فَرَحٍ وَ سُرُورٍ وَ صَوْمٍ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّ صَوْمَهُ يَعْدِلُ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً مِنَ الْأَشْهُرِ الْحُرُمِ وَ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ أَيَّ وَقْتٍ شَاءَ وَ أَفْضَلُ ذَلِكَ قُرْبُ الزَّوَالِ وَ هِيَ السَّاعَةُ الَّتِي أُقِيمَ فِيهَا أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ عَلَماً لِلنَّاسِ وَ ذَلِكَ أَنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَرُبُوا مِنَ الْمَنْزِلِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْوَقْتِ
He-asws said: ‘It is a day of Eid, and happiness, and cheerfulness, and fasting in thanking Allah‑azwj Mighty and Majestic, for its Fast equates to sixty month from the Sacred months, and one who prays two units Salat in it, whichever time he so desires to, and the best of that is near the midday, and it is the time in which Amir Al-Momineen-saww was stood at Ghadeer Khumm as a flag for the people, and that they would be drawing closer to the status in that time.
فَمَنْ صَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَجَدَ وَ شَكَرَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ بَعْدَ رَفْعِ رَأْسِهِ مِنَ السُّجُودِ
The one who prays two units Salat, then performs Sajdah and thanks Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic one hundred times, and supplicates with this supplication after raising his head from the Sajdah (see end of the supplication for continuation).
الدُّعَاءُ- اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ أَنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ أَحَدٌ صَمَدٌ لَمْ تَلِدْ وَ لَمْ تُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ
The supplication – ‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj because for You-azwj is the Praise Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj, and You-azwj are One, First, Non-Hollow. You-azwj do not Beget and are not begotten and there is no one a match for You-azwj, and that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon him-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws!
يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ كَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ أَنْ تَفَضَّلْتَ عَلَيَّ بِأَنْ جَعَلْتَنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ إِجَابَتِكَ وَ أَهْلِ دِينِكَ وَ أَهْلِ دَعْوَتِكَ وَ وَفَّقْتَنِي لِذَلِكَ فِي مُبْتَدَإِ خَلْقِي تَفَضُّلًا مِنْكَ وَ كَرَماً وَ جُوداً
O the One-azwj Who during every day in a state of Splendour just as it was from Your-azwj Splendour! Grace upon me by Making me from people of Your-azwj Response, and people of Your-azwj religion, and people of Your-azwj Call, and Harmonise me for that in the beginning of my creation as Grace from You-azwj, and Benevolence and Generosity!
ثُمَّ أَرْدَفْتَ الْفَضْلَ فَضْلًا وَ الْجُودَ جُوداً وَ الْكَرْمَ كَرَماً رَأْفَةً مِنْكَ وَ رَحْمَةً إِلَى أَنْ جَدَّدْتَ ذَلِكَ الْعَهْدَ لِي تَجْدِيداً بَعْدَ تَجْدِيدِكَ خَلْقِي وَ كُنْتُ نَسْياً مَنْسِيّاً نَاسِياً سَاهِياً غَافِلًا فَأَتْمَمْتَ نِعْمَتَكَ بِأَنْ ذَكَّرْتَنِي ذَلِكَ وَ مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ هَدَيْتَنِي لَهُ
Then You-azwj Followed it with the Grace with Grace, and the Generosity with Generosity, and Benevolence with Benevolence as Kindness from You-azwj and Mercy until You-azwj Renewed that Pact for me with Renewal after Renewal of my creation, and I was forgetful, oblivious, neglectful, heedless. You-azwj Completed Your-azwj bounties by Reminded me and Conferred with upon me, and Guided me to it!
فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَ سَيِّدِي وَ مَوْلَايَ أَنْ تُتِمَّ لِي ذَلِكَ وَ لَا تَسْلُبَنِيهِ حَتَّى تَتَوَفَّانِي عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ أَنْتَ عَنِّي رَاضٍ فَإِنَّكَ أَحَقُّ الْمُنْعِمِينَ أَنْ تُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ
So, let it be from Your-azwj Splendour, O my God-azwj, and my Chief, and my Master that You‑azwj Complete that for me and do not Strip it until You-azwj Cause me to die upon that while You‑azwj are Pleased with me, for You-azwj are the most Rightful of the bestowers to Complete Your-azwj bounties upon me!
اللَّهُمَّ سَمِعْنَا وَ أَطَعْنَا وَ أَجَبْنَا دَاعِيَكَ بِمَنِّكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ غُفْرانَكَ رَبَّنا وَ إِلَيْكَ الْمَصِيرُ آمَنَّا بِاللَّهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَ بِرَسُولِهِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah-azwj! We heard and we obeyed, and we answered Your-azwj Call by Your-azwj Conferment! For You-azwj is the Praise! Your-azwj Forgiveness our Lord-azwj and to you-azwj is the destination! We believe in Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj, and in His-azwj Rasool-saww Muhammad-saww!
وَ صَدَّقْنَا وَ أَجَبْنَا دَاعِيَ اللَّهِ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ فِي مُوَالاةِ مَوْلَانَا وَ مَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ وَ أَخِي رَسُولِهِ وَ الصِّدِّيقِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَى بَرِيَّتِهِ الْمُؤَيَّدِ بِهِ نَبِيُّهُ وَ دِينُهُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ عَلَماً لِدِينِ اللَّهِ وَ خَازِناً لِعِلْمِهِ وَ عَيْبَةِ غَيْبِ اللَّهِ وَ مَوْضِعِ سِرِّ اللَّهِ وَ أَمِينِ اللَّهِ عَلَى خَلْقِهِ وَ شَاهِدِهِ فِي بَرِيَّتِهِ
And we ratified and answered the caller of Allah-azwj and we followed the Rasool-saww regarding wilayah of our master and master of the believers, Amir Al-Momineen Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib‑asws, servant of Allah-azwj and brother of His-azwj Rasool-saww, and the greatest truthful, and the Divine Authority upon His-azwj created beings, His-azwj Prophet-saww and His-azwj religion was supported by him-asws, the manifest truth, flag for the religion of Allah-azwj, and treasurer of His-azwj Knowledge, and receptacle of the unseen matters of Allah-azwj, and place of the Secrets of Allah-azwj, and trustee of Allah-azwj upon His-azwj creatures, and His-azwj witness among His-azwj created beings!
اللَّهُمَ إِنَّنا سَمِعْنا مُنادِياً يُنادِي لِلْإِيمانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ- رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ
O Allah-azwj! Our Lord! We heard a caller calling to the Eman: ‘Believe in your Lord!’ So we believed. Our Lord! Forgive our sins for us and Cover our evil deeds from us and Cause us to die with the righteous ones [3:193] Our Lord! And Grant us what You Promised us by Your Rasools and do not Disgrace on the Day of Resurrection; surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194].
فَإِنَّا يَا رَبَّنَا بِمَنِّكَ وَ لُطْفِكَ أَجَبْنَا دَاعِيَكَ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الرَّسُولَ وَ صَدَّقْنَاهُ وَ صَدَّقْنَا مَوْلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ كَفَرْنَا بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ فَوَلِّنَا مَا تَوَلَّيْنَا وَ احْشُرْنَا مَعَ أَئِمَّتِنَا فَإِنَّا بِهِمْ مُؤْمِنُونَ مُوقِنُونَ وَ لَهُمْ مُسَلِّمُونَ
O our Lord-azwj! By Your-azwj Conferment and Your-azwj Compassion we answered Your-azwj caller and we followed the Rasool-saww, and we ratified him-saww, and we ratified master of the believers and we disbelieved in the false gods and the tyrants. Make us to be led by the ones we want to be led by, and Resurrect us with our Imams-asws, for we are believing in them-asws, convinced, and are submitting to them-asws!
آمَنَّا بِسِرِّهِمْ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ شَاهِدِهِمْ وَ غَائِبِهِمْ وَ حَيِّهِمْ وَ مَيِّتِهِمْ وَ رَضِينَا بِهِمْ أَئِمَّةً وَ قَادَةً وَ سَادَةً وَ حَسْبُنَا بِهِمْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ اللَّهِ دُونَ خَلْقِهِ
We believe in their-asws secrets and their-asws announcements, and their-asws presence and their-asws absence, and their-asws lives and their-asws deaths, and we are satisfied with them-asws are Imams-asws, and guided, and chiefs, and we suffice with them-asws being between us and Allah-azwj, besides His-azwj creatures!
لَا نَبْتَغِي بِهِمْ بَدَلًا وَ لَا نَتَّخِذُ مِنْ دُونِهِمْ وَلِيجَةً وَ بَرِئْتُ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ كُلِّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُمْ حَرْباً مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ وَ كَفَرْنَا بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوتِ وَ الْأَوْثَانِ الْأَرْبَعَةِ وَ أَشْيَاعِهِمْ وَ أَتْبَاعِهِمْ وَ كُلِّ مَنْ وَالاهُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ الدَّهْرِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ
Neither do we seek a replacement with them-asws nor do we take a confidant besides them‑asws, and I disavow to Allah-azwj from every one who installs war to them-asws, whether from the Jinn and the humans, from the former ones and the latter ones, and we disbelieve in the rival gods and the tyrants, and the four idols, and their adherents and their followers, and every one who befriends them, from the Jinn and the humans, from the beginning of the time up to its end!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّا نَدِينُ بِمَا دَانَ بِهِ مُحَمَّدٌ وَ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمْ- وَ قَوْلُنَا مَا قَالُوا وَ دِينُنَا مَا دَانُوا بِهِ مَا قَالُوا بِهِ قُلْنَا وَ مَا دَانُوا بِهِ دِنَّا وَ مَا أَنْكَرُوا أَنْكَرْنَا وَ مَنْ وَالَوْا وَالَيْنَا وَ مَنْ عَادَوْا عَادَيْنَا وَ مَنْ لَعَنُوا لَعَنَّا وَ مَنْ تَبَرَّءُوا مِنْهُ تَبَرَّأْنَا مِنْهُ وَ مَنْ تَرَحَّمُوا عَلَيْهِ تَرَحَّمْنَا عَلَيْهِ آمَنَّا وَ سَلَّمْنَا وَ رَضِينَا وَ اتَّبَعْنَا مَوَالِيَنَا صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! We testify that we make it a religion with what was done my Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-saww and upon them-asws, and we say what they-asws said, and we make it a religion what they-asws had made a religion with. Whatever they-asws had said, we say, and whatever they-asws had made a religion with we make it a religion, and whatever they-asws denied we deny, and one they-asws befriended we befriend, and one they-asws were inimical to we are inimical to, and one they‑asws cursed we curse, and one they-asws disavowed from we disavow from him, and one they-asws were merciful to we are merciful upon him. We believe, and we submit, and we are satisfied, and we follow, and we befriend, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ فَتَمِّمْ لَنَا ذَلِكَ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَاهُ وَ اجْعَلْهُ مُسْتَقَرّاً ثَابِتاً عِنْدَنَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ مُسْتَعَاراً وَ أَحْيِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ أَمِتْنَا إِذَا أَمَتَّنَا عَلَيْهِ آلُ مُحَمَّدٍ أَئِمَّتُنَا فَبِهِمْ نَأْتَمُّ وَ إِيَّاهُمْ نُوَالِي وَ عَدُوَّهُمْ عَدُوَّ اللَّهِ نُعَادِي فَاجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ فَإِنَّا بِذَلِكَ رَاضُونَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Complete that for us and do not Strip us of it, and Make it firmly established and enduring with us, not something temporary or borrowed. Keep us alive as long as You-azwj Sustain us upon it, and let us die upon it when You-azwj Take us. (We seek this) through the family of Muhammad-saww, our Imams-asws whom we follow, and with whom we align, while their enemies are the enemies of Allah-azwj whom we oppose. So, place us with them in this world and the Hereafter and among those drawn near (to You-azwj). For in this, we are content, O the Most Merciful of the merciful ones!’
ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ وَ تَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَشْكُرُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ كَانَ كَمَنْ حَضَرَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ بَايَعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ كَانَتْ دَرَجَتُهُ مَعَ دَرَجَةِ الصَّادِقِينَ الَّذِينَ صَدَقُوا اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ فِي مُوَالاةِ مَوْلَاهُمْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ كَانَ كَمَنْ شَهِدَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ مَعَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع وَ كَمَنْ يَكُونُ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ الْقَائِمِ ع وَ فِي فُسْطَاطِهِ مِنَ النُّجَبَاءِ وَ النُّقَبَاءِ.
Then perform Sajdah and praise Allah-azwj one hundred times, and thank Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic one hundred times while you are in Sajdah, for the one who does that would be like the one who was present on that day (of Al-Ghadeer) and pledged to Rasool-Allah-saww upon that, and his rank would be with the rank of the righteous ones, those who had ratified Allah‑azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww regarding the master-ship (Wilayah) of their master on that day, and he would be like the one who attended with Rasool-Allah-saww and Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and with Al-Hassan-asws and Al-Husayn-asws, and like the one who would be under the flag of Al-Qaim-ajfj and in his-ajfj tent, from the chosen ones and the distinguished ones!’’[1]
وَ مِنَ الدَّعَوَاتِ فِي يَوْمِ عِيدِ الْغَدِيرِ مَا ذَكَرَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الطِّرَازِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْحِمْيَرِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ اللَّيْثِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمَنْ حَضَرَهُ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ وَ شِيعَتِهِ
And from the supplication during the day of Eid Al-Ghadeer what is mentioned by Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Tarazy in his book, we are reporting it by our chain to Abdullah Bin Ja’far Al-Himeyri who said, ‘We have been narrated to by Haroun Bin Muslim, from Abu Al-Hassan Al-Laysi, from Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad-asws having said to the ones from his-asws friends and his-asws Shias present.
أَ تَعْرِفُونَ يَوْماً شَيَّدَ اللَّهُ بِهِ الْإِسْلَامَ وَ أَظْهَرَ بِهِ مَنَارَ الدِّينِ وَ جَعَلَهُ عِيداً لَنَا وَ لِمَوَالِينَا وَ شِيعَتِنَا
‘Do you know a day Allah-azwj had Build Al-Islam with, and Manifested the minarets of religion by it, and Make it an Eid for us and for our-asws friends and our-asws Shias?’
فَقَالُوا اللَّهُ وَ رَسُولُهُ وَ ابْنُ رَسُولِهِ أَعْلَمُ أَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ هُوَ يَا سَيِّدَنَا
They said, ‘Allah-azwj and His-azwj Rasool-saww and son-asws of His-azwj Rasool-saww are more knowing! Is it the day of (Eid) Al-Fitr, O our chief?’
قَالَ لَا
He-asws said: ‘No!’
قَالُوا أَ فَيَوْمُ الْأَضْحَى هُوَ
They said, ‘Is it the day of (Eid) Al-Azha?’
قَالَ لَا وَ هَذَانِ يَوْمَانِ جَلِيلَانِ شَرِيفَانِ وَ يَوْمُ مَنَارِ الدِّينِ أَشْرَفُ مِنْهُمَا وَ هُوَ الْيَوْمُ الثَّامِنَ عَشَرَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ وَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص لَمَّا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ وَ صَارَ بِغَدِيرِ خُمٍّ أَمَرَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ جَبْرَئِيلَ ع أَنْ يَهْبِطَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ص وَقْتَ قِيَامِ الظُّهْرِ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَقُومَ بِوَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ أَنْ يَنْصِبَهُ عَلَماً لِلنَّاسِ بَعْدَهُ وَ أَنْ يَسْتَخْلِفَهُ فِي أُمَّتِهِ
He-asws said: ‘No, and these two are majestic days, noble, and the day of the minaret of religion is nobler than these, and it is the 18th day of Zil Hijjah, and when Rasool-Allah-saww left from the farewell Hajj and came to be at Ghadeer Khumm, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Commanded Jibraeel-as to descent unto the Prophet-saww and the times of standing (for Salat) of Al-Zohr of that day, and Commanded him-saww to stand with the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and install him-asws as a flag for the people after him-saww, and to make him-asws a caliph in his-saww community.
فَهَبَطَ إِلَيْهِ وَ قَالَ لَهُ حَبِيبِي مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُقْرِئُكَ السَّلَامَ وَ يَقُولُ لَكَ قُمْ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ بِوَلَايَةِ عَلِيٍّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ لِيَكُونَ عَلَماً لِأُمَّتِكَ بَعْدَكَ يَرْجِعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَ يَكُونُ لَهُمْ كَأَنْتَ
He-as descended to him-saww and said to him-saww: ‘My-as beloved Muhammad-saww! Allah-azwj Conveys the Greetings to you-saww and Says to You-azwj: “Stand in this day with the Wilayah of Ali-asws (may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws)! Let him-asws be a flag for your-saww community after you-saww! They should return (refer) to him-asws and he-asws would be for them like you-saww!”’
فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ص حَبِيبِي جَبْرَئِيلُ إِنِّي أَخَافُ تَغَيُّرَ أَصْحَابِي لِمَا قَدْ وَتَرُوهُ وَ أَنْ يَبْدُوا مَا يُضْمِرُونَ فِيهِ
The Prophet-saww said: ‘My-saww beloved Jibraeel-as! I-saww fear the changes (in the hearts) of my-saww companions due to what they have harboured and they would reveal what they had been harbouring regarding him-asws!’
فَعَرَجَ وَ مَا لَبِثَ أَنْ هَبَطَ بِأَمْرِ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ يا أَيُّهَا الرَّسُولُ بَلِّغْ ما أُنْزِلَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَما بَلَّغْتَ رِسالَتَهُ وَ اللَّهُ يَعْصِمُكَ مِنَ النَّاسِ
He-as ascended and it was not long before he-as came down with the Command of Allah-azwj. He-as said to him-saww: O you Rasool! Deliver what has been Revealed unto you from your Lord; and if you don’t do so, then you have not delivered His Message, and Allah will Protect you from the people. [5:67]!’
فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص ذَعِراً مَرْعُوباً خَائِفاً مِنْ شِدَّةِ الرَّمْضَاءِ وَ قَدَمَاهُ تُشْوَيَانِ وَ أَمَرَ بِأَنْ يُنَظَّفَ الْمَوْضِعُ وَ يُقَمَّ مَا تَحْتَ الدَّوْحِ مِنَ الشَّوْكِ وَ غَيْرِهِ فَفُعِلَ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ نَادَى بِ الصَّلَاةَ جَامِعَةً فَاجْتَمَعَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ وَ فِيمَنِ اجْتَمَعَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَ عُمَرُ وَ عُثْمَانُ وَ سَائِرُ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَ الْأَنْصَارِ
Rasool-Allah-saww stood up anxiously, alarmed and fearful in the in the severity of the heat and his-saww feet were being scorched, and he-saww instructed for the place to be cleaned and whatever thorns and other such which were beneath the tree to be swept away. That was done. Then he-saww called for the congregational Salat. So, the Muslims gathers, and among the ones gathered were Abu Bakr, and Umar, and Usman and rest of the Emigrants and the Helpers.
ثُمَّ قَامَ خَطِيباً وَ ذَكَرَ بَعْدَهُ الْوَلَايَةَ فَأَلْزَمَهَا لِلنَّاسِ جَمِيعاً فَأَعْلَمَهُمْ أَمْرَ اللَّهِ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ قَوْمٌ مَا قَالُوا وَ تَنَاجَوْا بِمَا أَسَرُّوا فَإِذَا كَانَ صَبِيحَةُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَجَبَ الْغُسْلُ فِي صَدْرِ نَهَارِهِ وَ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِهِ وَ أَفْخَرَهَا وَ يَتَطَيَّبَ إِمْكَانَهُ وَ انْبِسَاطَ يَدِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولَ-
Then he-saww stood to address and mentioned the Wilayah after it. He-saww necessitated it for all the people. He-saww let them know of the Command of Allah-azwj of that. A group said what they said and they whispered to each other with what they kept secret. When it was the morning of that day, he-saww obligated the ritual washing in the middle of its day and for the Momin to wear the cleanest of his clothes, and their most pride-worthy, and the best perfume possible, and should extend his hands, then he should say: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ شَرَّفْتَنَا فِيهِ بِوَلَايَةِ وَلِيِّكَ عَلِيٍّ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ أَمَرْتَنَا بِمُوَالاتِهِ وَ طَاعَتِهِ وَ أَنْ نَتَمَسَّكَ بِمَا يُقَرِّبُنَا إِلَيْكَ وَ يُزْلِفُنَا لَدَيْكَ أَمْرُهُ وَ نَهْيُهُ
‘O Allah-azwj! This day, You-azwj have Ennobled it for us in it with the Wilayah of Your-azwj Guardian, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj upon him-asws, and Made him-asws Emir of the Momineen and You-azwj Commanded us with his-asws Wilayah and obedience to him-asws, and we should adhere with what would draw us closer to You-azwj, and be near to You-azwj of His‑azwj Command and His-azwj Prohibition!
اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ قَبِلْنَا أَمْرَكَ وَ نَهْيَكَ وَ سَمِعْنَا وَ أَطَعْنَا لِنَبِيِّكَ وَ سَلَّمْنَا وَ رَضِينَا فَنَحْنُ مَوَالِي عَلِيٍّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ كَمَا أَمَرْتَ نُوَالِيهِ وَ نُعَادِي مَنْ يُعَادِيهِ وَ نَبْرَأُ مِمَّنْ تَبَرَّأَ مِنْهُ وَ نُبْغِضُ مَنْ أَبْغَضَهُ وَ نُحِبُّ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَ عَلِيٌّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَوْلَانَا كَمَا قُلْتَ وَ إِمَامُنَا بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا ص كَمَا أَمَرْتَ
O Allah-azwj! We accept Your-azwj Commands and Your-azwj Prohibitions, and we hear and we obey Your-azwj Prophet-saww, and we submit and are satisfied. We are friends of Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and his-asws friends, just as You-azwj have Commanded that we should befriend him-asws and be inimical to the one being inimical to him‑asws, and disavow from the ones disavowing from him-asws, and hate the ones hating him‑asws, and love the ones loving him-asws, and Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, is our master just as You-azwj Said, and our Imam-asws after our Prophet-saww just as You-azwj Command!’
فَإِذَا كَانَ وَقْتُ الزَّوَالِ أَخَذْتَ مَجْلِسَكَ بِهُدُوءٍ وَ سُكُونٍ وَ وَقَارٍ وَ هَيْبَةٍ وَ إِخْبَاتٍ وَ تَقُولُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ كَمَا فَضَّلَنَا فِي دِينِهِ عَلَى مَنْ جَحَدَ وَ عَنَدَ وَ فِي نَعِيمِ الدُّنْيَا عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ عَمَدَ وَ هَدَانَا بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّهِ ص وَ شَرَّفَنَا بِوَصِيِّهِ وَ خَلِيفَتِهِ فِي حَيَاتِهِ وَ بَعْدَ مَمَاتِهِ- أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
When it would be the time of midday, you should take your seat with limits, and calmness, and dignity, and reverence and humility, and you should say, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Lord‑azwj of the worlds just as He-azwj has Preferred us regarding His-azwj religion over the ones who rejected and are obstinate, and regarding bounties of the world over many of the ones who deviated, and Guided us through His-azwj Prophet-saww, and Ennobles us with his-saww successor and his-saww caliph during his-saww lifetime and after his-saww expiry, Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat be upon him-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مُحَمَّداً ص نَبِيُّنَا كَمَا أَمَرْتَ وَ عَلِيّاً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ مَوْلَانَا كَمَا أَقَمْتَ وَ نَحْنُ مَوَالِيهِ وَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُ-
O Allah-azwj! Muhammad-saww is our Prophet-saww just as You-azwj Commanded, and Ali-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, is our master just as he-asws was nominated, and we are his-asws slaves and his-asws friends!’
ثُمَّ تَقُومُ وَ تُصَلِّي شُكْراً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى الْحَمْدَ وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ كَمَا أُنْزِلَتَا لَا كَمَا نُقِصَتَا ثُمَّ تَقْنُتُ وَ تَرْكَعُ وَ تُتِمُّ الصَّلَاةَ وَ تُسَلِّمُ وَ تَخِرُّ سَاجِداً وَ تَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ-
Then you should stand and pray two units Salat thanking to Allah-azwj the Exalted reading in the first, (Surah) Al Hamd, and (Surah) Al Qadr and (Surah) Al Tawheed just they have been Revealed not like what they have been altered (reduced). Then performed Qunout and Ruk’u and complete the Salat, and perform Salaam and fall into Sajdah, and say in your Sajdah: –
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا إِلَيْكَ نُوَجِّهُ وُجُوهَنَا فِي يَوْمِ عِيدِنَا الَّذِي شَرَّفْتَنَا فِيهِ بِوَلَايَةِ مَوْلَانَا- أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَلَيْكَ نَتَوَكَّلُ وَ بِكَ نَسْتَعِينُ فِي أُمُورِنَا
‘O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj we divert our faces during the day of our Eid which You-azwj have Ennobled us in with the Wilayah of our master Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws, may Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon him-asws! We rely upon You-azwj and we seek Assistance with You‑azwj in our matters!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدَتْ وُجُوهُنَا وَ أَشْعَارُنَا وَ أَبْشَارُنَا وَ جُلُودُنَا وَ عُرُوقُنَا وَ أَعْظُمُنَا وَ أَعْصَابُنَا وَ لُحُومُنَا وَ دِمَاؤُنَا
O Allah-azwj! To You-azwj prostrate our faces, and our hair, and our flesh, and our skins, and our veins, and our bones, and our nerves, and our flesh, and our blood!

O Allah-azwj! You-azwj we worship and to You-azwj we humble, and to You-azwj we prostrate being upon the nation (religion) of Ibrahim-as and religion of Muhammad-saww and Wilayah of Ali-asws, may Your-azwj Salawaat be upon them-asws all, uprightly, as submitters, and we are not from the Polytheists nor are we from the rejectors!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْجَاحِدِينَ الْمُعَانِدِينَ الْمُخَالِفِينَ لِأَمْرِكَ وَ أَمْرِ رَسُولِكَ ص
O Allah-azwj! Curse the rejectors, the obstinate, the opponents to Your-azwj Command and orders of Your-azwj Rasool-saww!
اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْمُبْغِضِينَ لَهُمْ لَعْناً كَثِيراً- لَا يَنْقَطِعُ أَوَّلُهُ وَ لَا يَنْفَدُ آخِرُهُ
O Allah-azwj! Curse the ones hateful to them-asws, many curses, neither its beginning be cut off nor its ending depletes!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ ثَبِّتْنَا عَلَى مُوَالاتِكَ وَ مُوَالاةِ رَسُولِكَ وَ آلِ رَسُولِكَ وَ مُوَالاةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ صَلَوَاتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمْ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Affirm us upon Your-azwj Wilayah and Wilayah of Your-azwj Rasool-saww and Progeny-asws of Your-azwj Rasool‑saww and Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, may the Salawaat be upon them-asws!
اللَّهُمَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ أَحْسِنْ مُنْقَلَبَنَا يَا سَيِّدَنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا
O Allah-azwj! Give us goodness in the world and goodness in the Hereafter, and Make our transfer to be excellent, O our Chief and our Master!’
ثُمَّ كُلْ وَ اشْرَبْ وَ أَظْهِرِ السُّرُورَ وَ أَطْعِمْ إِخْوَانَكَ وَ أَكْثِرْ بِرَّهُمْ وَ اقْضِ حَوَائِجَ إِخْوَانِكَ إِعْظَاماً لِيَوْمِكَ وَ خِلَافاً عَلَى مَنْ أَظْهَرَ فِيهِ الِاغْتِمَامَ وَ الْحُزْنَ ضَاعَفَ اللَّهُ حُزْنَهُ وَ غَمَّهُ.
Then eat and drink, and manifest the cheerfulness, and feed your brethren, and frequent being righteous to them, and fulfil needs of their brethren in reverence for your day, and opposite to the one revealing during it the sadness and the grief. May Allah-azwj Multiply his grief and his sadness!’’[2]
2- قل، إقبال الأعمال مِنَ الدَّعَوَاتِ فِي يَوْمِ الْغَدِيرِ مَا نَقَلْنَاهُ مِنْ كِتَابِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الطِّرَازِيِّ أَيْضاً بِإِسْنَادٍ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَبْدِ الْقَاهِرِ بَوَّابِ مَوْلَانَا أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ع قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَسَّانَ الْوَاسِطِيُّ بِوَاسِطٍ فِي سَنَةِ ثَلَاثِمِائَةٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ الْعَبْدَلِيُّ قَالَ
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – ‘From the supplication during the day of Al-Ghadeer is what we are transmitting from the book of Muhammad Bin Ali Al-Zahra as well, by a chain to Abu Al-Hassan Abdul Qahir, doorman of our master Abu Ibrahim Musa-asws Bin Ja’far-asws and Abu Ja’far Muhammad-asws Bin Ali-asws. He said, ‘It is narrated to us by Abu Al-Hassan Ali Bin Hassan Al-Wasity at Wasit in the year three hundred. He said, ‘It is narrated to me by Ali Bin Al-Hassan Al-Ibdaly who said,
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَ السَّلَامُ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ وَ أَبْنَائِهِ يَقُولُ صَوْمُ يَوْمِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَعْدِلُ صِيَامَ عُمُرِ الدُّنْيَا لَوْ عَاشَ إِنْسَانٌ عُمُرَ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ لَوْ صَامَ مَا عُمِّرَتِ الدُّنْيَا لَكَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ ذَلِكَ وَ صِيَامُهُ يَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ عُمْرَةٍ
‘I heard Abu Abdullah Ja’far-asws Bin Muhammad Al-Sadiq-asws, upon him-asws be the Salawaat and the greeting, and upon his-asws forefathers-asws, and his-asws sons-asws, said: ‘Fasting on the day of Ghadeer Khumm equates to fasting the age of the world, if a person were to live the age of the world. Then if he were to fast, that would be a Reward for him for as long as the world lives (remains), and his fast would equate in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic to one hundred Hajj and a hundred Umrah!
وَ هُوَ عِيدُ اللَّهِ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ نَبِيّاً إِلَّا وَ تَعَيَّدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ عَرَّفَ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ اسْمُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمُ الْعَهْدِ الْمَعْهُودِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَوْمُ الْمِيثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوذِ وَ الْجَمْعِ الْمَشْهُودِ
And it is the greatest Eid of Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has not Sent any Prophet-saww except and he-as had made a festival in this day, and its sanctity its name is known in the sky as the day of the covenant and the covenanted, and in the earth as the Covenant taken and the witnessed gathering!
وَ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَزُولَ الشَّمْسُ بِنِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ عَشْراً وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ عَشْراً وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ عَشْراً عَدَلَتْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ
And the one who prays two units Salat during it from half an hour before the sun declines (midday) thanking Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and read in every unit Surah Al Hamd ten times, and Surah Al Qadr ten times, and Ayat Al Kursi ten times, equates in the Presence of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic to one hundred thousand Hajj and a hundred thousand Umrah!
وَ مَا سَأَلَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ كَائِنَةً مَا كَانَتْ إِلَّا أَتَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى قَضَائِهَا فِي يُسْرٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ وَ مَنْ فَطَّرَ مُؤْمِناً كَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ فِئَاماً وَ فِئَاماً فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَعُدُّ حَتَّى عَقَدَ عَشَرَةً
And he will not ask Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic for a need from needs of the world and the Hereafter, whatever it may be, except Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Grants its fulfilment in ease and well-being; and one who breaks the fast of a Momin, for him would be Rewards of feeing a ‘Fiyaam’, and ‘Fiyaam’!’ He-asws did not cease counting until he-asws had counted ten.
ثُمَّ قَالَ أَ تَدْرِي مَا الْفِئَامُ
Then he-asws said: ‘Do you know what is the ‘Fiyaam’?’
قُلْتُ لَا
I said, ‘No’.
قَالَ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ وَ كَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ بِعَدَدِهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ وَ الصَّالِحِينَ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَقَاهُمْ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ وَ الدِّرْهَمُ فِيهِ بِمِائَةِ أَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ
He-asws said: ‘One hundred thousand, and for him would be Rewards of the one feeding their number, from the Prophets-as, and the truthful, and the martyrs, and the righteous in the Sanctuary of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and quenched them during a day of destitution, and the Dirham (donated) during it (equates) to a thousand Dirhams’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تَرَى أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ يَوْماً أَعْظَمَ حُرْمَةً مِنْهُ- لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘Perhaps you view that Allah-azwj has Created any day of mightier sanctity than it? No, by Allah-azwj, no, by Allah-azwj, no, by Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ إِذَا لَقِيتَ أَخَاكَ الْمُؤْمِنَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ جَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ جَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُوفِينَ بِعَهْدِهِ الَّذِي عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَا وَ مِيثَاقِهِ الَّذِي وَاثَقَنَا بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِهِ وَ الْقُوَّامِ بِقِسْطِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Then he-asws said: ‘And let it be from your words, when you meet your Momin brother, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Honoured us with this day and Made us from the Momineen, and Made us from the ones loyal with His-azwj Pact which He-azwj Made to us, and His-azwj Covenant which He-azwj Covenanted us with of the Wilayah of the Masters of the Command, and the ones standing with His-azwj Fairness, and did not Make us from the rejectors and the beliers of the Day of religion (Reckoning)!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ دُعَائِكَ فِي دُبُرِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ أَنْ تَقُولَ- رَبَّنا إِنَّنا سَمِعْنا مُنادِياً يُنادِي لِلْإِيمانِ أَنْ آمِنُوا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَآمَنَّا رَبَّنا فَاغْفِرْ لَنا ذُنُوبَنا وَ كَفِّرْ عَنَّا سَيِّئاتِنا وَ تَوَفَّنا مَعَ الْأَبْرارِ- رَبَّنا وَ آتِنا ما وَعَدْتَنا عَلى رُسُلِكَ وَ لا تُخْزِنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ إِنَّكَ لا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيعادَ
Then he-asws said: ‘And let it be from your supplication at the end of the two units Salat that you should say, ‘Our Lord! We heard a caller calling to the Eman: ‘Believe in your Lord!’ So we believed. Our Lord! Forgive our sins for us and Cover our evil deeds from us and Cause us to die with the righteous ones [3:193] Our Lord! And Grant us what You Promised us by Your Messengers and do not Disgrace on the Day of Resurrection; surely You do not break the Promise’ [3:194]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَشْهَدُ وَ كَفَى بِكَ شَهِيداً وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَ سُكَّانَ سَمَاوَاتِكَ وَ أَرْضِكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَعْبُودُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ أَرْضِكَ مَعْبُودٌ يُعْبَدُ سِوَاكَ إِلَّا بَاطِلٌ مُضْمَحِلٌّ غَيْرَ وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ-
O Allah-azwj! I keep You-azwj as Witness and suffice with You-azwj as Witness, and I keep Your-azwj Angels as witnesses, and bearers of Your-azwj Throne, and dwellers of Your-azwj skies, and I am satisfied that surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj, the Deity Who there isn’t from Your-azwj Throne up to the bottom of Your-azwj earth any deity being worship besides You-azwj except falsehood! Nothing would perish apart from Your-azwj Honourable Face!
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ الْمَعْبُودُ لَا مَعْبُودَ سِوَاكَ تَعَالَيْتَ عَمَّا يَقُولُ الظَّالِمُونَ عُلُوّاً كَبِيراً- وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَلِيُّهُمْ وَ مَوْلَاهُمْ وَ مَوْلَايَ رَبَّنَا
There is no god except You-azwj the Deity, there is no deity besides you-azwj! You-azwj are Exalted from what the unjust ones are saying, Exalted, Great! And I testify that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servants and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and I testify that Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen and their guardian and their master and my master!
إِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا النِّدَاءَ وَ صَدَّقْنَا الْمُنَادِيَ- رَسُولَكَ ص إِذْ نَادَى نِدَاءً عَنْكَ بِالَّذِي أَمَرْتَهُ أَنْ يُبَلِّغَ عَنْكَ مَا أَنْزَلْتَ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ مُوَالاةِ وَلِيِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ حَذَّرْتَهُ وَ أَنْذَرْتَهُ إِنْ لَمْ يُبَلِّغْ أَنْ تَسْخَطَ عَلَيْهِ وَ أَنَّهُ إِذَا بَلَّغَ رِسَالاتِكَ عَصَمْتَهُ مِنَ النَّاسِ
We heard the call and ratified the caller, Your-azwj Rasool-saww, when he-saww called a call on Your-azwj behalf with that which You-azwj had Commanded him-saww to deliver on Your-azwj behalf what You-azwj had Revealed to him-saww of the Wilayah of guardian of the believers and Cautioned him-saww and Warned him-saww that if he-saww does not deliver, You-azwj will be Wrathful upon him-saww, and if he-saww were to deliver Your-azwj Message You-azwj will Protect him-saww from the people!
فَنَادَى مُبَلِّغاً وَحْيَكَ وَ رِسَالاتِكَ أَلَا مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلَاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلَاهُ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ وَلِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ وَلِيُّهُ وَ مَنْ كُنْتُ نَبِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُهُ
So, he-saww called out to deliver Your-azwj Message: ‘Indeed! One whose master I-saww was so Ali-asws is his master, and one I-saww was his guardian so Ali-azwj is his guardian, and one I was his Prophet-as so Ali-asws is his Emir!’
رَبَّنَا قَدْ أَجَبْنَا دَاعِيَكَ النَّذِيرَ الْمُنْذِرَ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدَكَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ مَثَلًا لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ
Our Lord-azwj! We responded to Your-azwj caller, the warning warner, Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant whom You-azwj Favour upon and Made him-saww an example for the children of Israel!
رَبَّنَا آمَنَّا وَ اتَّبَعْنَا مَوْلَانَا وَ وَلِيَّنَا وَ هَادِيَنَا وَ دَاعِيَنَا وَ دَاعِيَ الْأَنَامِ وَ صِرَاطَكَ السَّوِيَّ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ وَ حُجَّتَكَ الْبَيْضَاءَ وَ سَبِيلَكَ الدَّاعِيَ إِلَيْكَ عَلَى بَصِيرَةٍ هُوَ وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَهُ وَ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ وَ بِأَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ بِاتِّخَاذِ الْوَلَائِجِ مِنْ دُونِهِ

فَاشْهَدْ يَا إِلَهِي أَنَّ الْإِمَامَ الْهَادِيَ الْمُرْشِدَ الرَّشِيدَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الَّذِي ذَكَرْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ- وَ إِنَّهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتابِ لَدَيْنا لَعَلِيٌّ حَكِيمٌ
I testify, O my God-azwj, that the Imam-asws, the guide, the director to the rightful direction is Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib-asws, Emir of the Momineen whom You-azwj Mentioned in Your-azwj Book, so You-azwj Said: And surely it is in the Mother of the Book with Us for Ali, a Wise man [43:4]!
اللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّا نَشْهَدُ بِأَنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ الْهَادِي مِنْ بَعْدِ نَبِيِّكَ- النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ الصِّرَاطُ الْمُسْتَقِيمُ وَ إِمَامُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ قَائِدُ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِينَ وَ حُجَّتُكَ الْبَالِغَةُ وَ لِسَانُكَ الْمُعَبِّرُ عَنْكَ فِي خَلْقِكَ وَ الْقَائِمُ بِالْقِسْطِ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّكَ وَ دَيَّانُ دِينِكَ وَ خَازِنُ عِلْمِكَ وَ عَيْبَةُ وَحْيِكَ وَ عَبْدُكَ
O Allah-azwj!

وَ أَمِينُكَ الْمَأْمُونُ الْمَأْخُوذُ مِيثَاقُهُ مَعَ مِيثَاقِكَ وَ مِيثَاقِ رُسُلِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ وَ بَرِيَّتِكَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ وَ الْإِخْلَاصِ بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ عَلِيٌّ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
And Your-azwj trusted trustee, his-asws Covenanted was Taken along with Your-azwj Covenanted and Covenant of Your-azwj Messengers-as from Your-azwj creatures and Your-azwj created beings with the testimony and the sincerity with the Oneness with that You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Ali-asws is Emir of the Momineen!
وَ جَعَلْتَ الْإِقْرَارَ بِوَلَايَتِهِ تَمَامَ تَوْحِيدِكَ وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ لَكَ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ إِكْمَالَ دِينِكَ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ فَقُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ- الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ نِعْمَتِي وَ رَضِيتُ لَكُمُ الْإِسْلامَ دِيناً
And You-azwj Made the acceptance of his-asws Wilayah as completion of Your-azwj Tawheed, and the sincerity to You-azwj with Your-azwj Oneness, and perfection of Your-azwj religion, and completion of Your-azwj bounties upon Your-azwj entirety creatures. You-azwj Said and Your-azwj Word is the Truth: Today I Perfected your Religion for you and Completed My Favour upon you, and am Pleased with Al-Islam as a Religion for you [5:3]!
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى مَا مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَيْنَا مِنَ الْإِخْلَاصِ لَكَ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ جُدْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِمُوَالاةِ وَلِيِّكَ الْهَادِي مِنْ بَعْدِ نَبِيِّكَ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ رَضِيتَ لَنَا الْإِسْلَامَ دِيناً بِمَوْلَانَا وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ بِالَّذِي
For You-azwj is the Praise upon what You-azwj have Conferred with upon us, from the sincerity to You-azwj with Your-azwj Oneness, and Renewed upon us with Wilayah of Your-azwj Guardian, the Guide from after Your-azwj Prophet-saww, the warning warner, and You-azwj were Pleased for us with Al Islam as religion with our master, and Completed upon us Your-azwj bounties!
جَدَّدْتَ لَنَا عَهْدَكَ وَ مِيثَاقَكَ وَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا ذَلِكَ وَ جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ لِعَهْدِكَ وَ مِيثَاقِكَ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْوَفَاءِ بِذَلِكَ وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ النَّاكِثِينَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ وَ الْجَاحِدِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ وَ لَمْ تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ وَ الْمُبَدِّلِينَ وَ الْمُحَرِّفِينَ وَ الْمُبَتِّكِينَ آذَانَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ خَلْقَ اللَّهِ وَ مِنَ الَّذِينَ اسْتَحْوَذَ عَلَيْهِمُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَأَنْسَاهُمْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ وَ صَدَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّبِيلِ وَ الصِّرَاطِ الْمُسْتَقِيمِ
You-azwj Renewed Your-azwj Pact for us and Your-azwj Covenant, and You-azwj Reminded us of that and Made us from the people of sincerity, and the ratification with Your-azwj Pact and Your-azwj Covenanted, and from the people of loyalty with that, and You-azwj did not Make us from the breakers, the beliers, and the rejecters on the Day of religion (Reckoning), and did not Make us from the alterers, and the replacers, and the distorters, and the slitters of the ears of the livestock, and the changers of the nature of Allah-azwj, and from those the Satan-la had taken over, so he-la made them forget the Zikr of Allah-azwj and blocked them from the way and the straight path!’
وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ قَوْلِكَ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَنِ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْمُغَيِّرِينَ وَ الْمُبَدِّلِينَ الَّذِينَ يُكَذِّبُونَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ
And frequent from your words, ‘O Allah-azwj! Curse the rejecters, and the breakers, and the alterers, and the replacers, those who belie the Day of religion (Reckoning), from the former ones and the latter ones!’
ثُمَّ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلَى نِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيْنَا بِالَّذِي هَدَيْتَنَا إِلَى مُوَالاةِ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِكَ مِنْ بَعْدِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الْهَادِينَ الَّذِينَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ أَرْكَاناً لِتَوْحِيدِكَ وَ أَعْلَامَ الْهُدَى وَ مَنَارَ التَّقْوَى وَ الْعُرْوَةَ الْوُثْقَى وَ كَمَالَ دِينِكَ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ مَنْ بِهِمْ وَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ رَضِيتَ لَنَا الْإِسْلَامَ دِيناً
Then say, ‘O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise upon Your-azwj bounties which You-azwj Guided us to the Wilayah of the masters of Your-azwj Command from after Your-azwj Prophet-saww and the guiding Imams-asws, those You-azwj Made them-asws as pillars of Your-azwj religion of Your-azwj Tawheed, and the flags of guidance, and the minarets of piety, and the firmest handhold, and perfection of Your-azwj religion, and completion of Your-azwj Favours and the ones with them‑asws and with their-asws Master-ship and were Pleased for us with Al Islam as religion!
رَبَّنَا فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ آمَنَّا بِكَ وَ صَدَّقْنَا بِنَبِيِّكَ الرَّسُولِ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ اتَّبَعْنَا الْهَادِيَ مِنْ بَعْدِ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ وَالَيْنَا وَلِيَّهُمْ وَ عَادَيْنَا عَدُوَّهُمْ وَ بَرِئْنَا مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ النَّاكِثِينَ وَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Our Lord-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise! We believe in You-azwj and we ratify Your-azwj Prophet‑saww, the warning warner, and we followed the guidance from after the warning warner, and we befriended their-asws friends and are inimical to their-asws enemies, and we disavow from the rejecters, and the breakers, and the beliers of the Day of religion (Reckoning)!
اللَّهُمَّ فَكَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ يَا صَادِقَ الْوَعْدِ يَا مَنْ لَا يُخْلِفُ الْمِيعَادَ يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَأْنٍ إِنْ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ بِمُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْمَسْئُولِ عَنْهُمْ عِبَادُكَ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ- ثُمَّ لَتُسْئَلُنَّ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ وَ قُلْتَ وَ قِفُوهُمْ إِنَّهُمْ مَسْؤُلُونَ
O Allah-azwj! Just as it was from Your-azwj Splendour, O Truthful of the Promised, O the One-azwj Who does not Break the Promised, O the One-azwj Who is in Splendour every day, Complete Your-azwj bounties upon us through the Wilayah of Your-azwj Guardians which Your-azwj servants will be questioned about. You-azwj Said: Then you will be Questioned on that Day about the boons [102:8], and You-azwj Said: And stop them! They have to be Questioned [37:24]!
وَ مَنَنْتَ بِشَهَادَةِ الْإِخْلَاصِ لَكَ بِوَلَايَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْهُدَاةِ مِنْ بَعْدِ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ السِّرَاجِ الْمُنِيرِ وَ أَكْمَلْتَ لَنَا الدِّينَ بِمُوَالاتِهِمْ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِهِمْ وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا النِّعَمَ بِالَّذِي جَدَّدْتَ لَنَا عَهْدَكَ وَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا مِيثَاقَكَ الْمَأْخُوذَ مِنَّا فِي مُبْتَدَإِ خَلْقِكَ إِيَّانَا
And You-azwj Conferred with the sincere testimony to You-azwj through the Wilayah of Your-azwj Guardians, the guides from after the warning warner, the radiant lamp, and You-azwj Perfected the religion for us by their Wilayah and the disavowing from their-asws enemies, and You-azwj Completed the bounties which You-azwj Renewed the Your-azwj Pact for us, and You-azwj Reminded us of Your-azwj Covenant Taken from us in Your-azwj Beginning Your-azwj Creating us!
وَ جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِجَابَةِ وَ ذَكَّرْتَنَا الْعَهْدَ وَ الْمِيثَاقَ وَ لَمْ تُنْسِنَا ذِكْرَكَ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ- وَ إِذْ أَخَذَ رَبُّكَ مِنْ بَنِي آدَمَ مِنْ ظُهُورِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَ أَشْهَدَهُمْ عَلى أَنْفُسِهِمْ أَ لَسْتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ قالُوا بَلى
And You-azwj Made us from the people of (achieving) the Response, and You-azwj Reminded us of the Pact and the Covenant and did not let us Forget Your-azwj Zikr, for You-azwj Said: And when your Lord Seized from the Children of Adam, their offspring from their foreheads and Made them testify against their own selves: “Am I not your Lord?” They said, ‘Yes, we testify’. [7:172]!
شَهِدْنَا بِمَنِّكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ رَبُّنَا وَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ نَبِيُّنَا وَ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَلِيُّنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا وَ شَهِدْنَا بِالْوَلَايَةِ لِوَلِيِّنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ مِنْ صُلْبِ وَلِيِّنَا وَ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَبْدِكَ الَّذِي أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِ
We testify by Your-azwj Conferment that surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj, there is no god except You-azwj our Lord-azwj, and Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww is our Prophet-saww, and Ali-asws Amir Al-Momineen is our guardian and our master, and we testify for our guardians and our masters from the offspring of Your-azwj Prophet-saww, from the ‘Sulb’, and our master Ali-asws Bin Abu Talib Amir Al-Momineen-asws is Your-azwj servant whom You-azwj Favoured upon!
وَ جَعَلْتَهُ فِي أُمِّ الْكِتَابِ لَدَيْكَ عَلِيّاً حَكِيماً وَ جَعَلْتَهُ آيَةً لِنَبِيِّكَ وَ آيَةً مِنْ آيَاتِكَ الْكُبْرَى وَ النَّبَأَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ وَ النَّبَأَ الْعَظِيمَ الَّذِي هُمْ عَنْهُ مُعْرِضُونَ وَ عَنْهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَسْئُولُونَ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِكَ الَّتِي عَنْهَا يُسْأَلُ عِبَادُكَ إِذْ هُمْ مَوْقُوفُونَ وَ عَنِ النَّعِيمِ مَسْئُولُونَ
And You-azwj Made him-asws in Mother of the Book as ‘Ali-asws, a wise man’, and Made him-asws a sign for Your-azwj Prophet-saww and a sing from Your-azwj Great Signs, and the Great News regarding which they were differing, and the Great News which they were turning away from, and they will be questioned about on the Day of Qiyamah, and completion of Your-azwj bounties which Your-azwj servants will be questioned about when they are paused, and question about the boons!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ كَمَا كَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِالْهِدَايَةِ إِلَى مَعْرِفَتِهِمْ فَلْيَكُنْ مِنْ شَأْنِكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah-azwj, and just as it was from Your-azwj Splendour what You-azwj have Favoured upon us with the guidance to recognise them-asws, so let it be from Your-azwj Splendour to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww!
وَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لَنَا فِي يَوْمِنَا هَذَا الَّذِي ذَكَّرْتَنَا فِيهِ عَهْدَكَ وَ مِيثَاقَكَ وَ أَكْمَلْتَ لَنَا دِينَنَا وَ أَتْمَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَ جَعَلْتَنَا بِنِعْمَتِكَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِجَابَةِ وَ الْإِخْلَاصِ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِيمَانِ وَ التَّصْدِيقِ بِوَلَايَةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَاءِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ الْجَاحِدِينَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
And Bless for us in this day of ours which Your-azwj have Reminded us of Your-azwj Pact and Your-azwj Covenant, and Perfected our religion for us and Completed Your-azwj Favours upon us, and Made us, due to Your-azwj bounties, as being rightful of the Response, and the sincerity with Your-azwj Oneness, and from the people of Eman, and the ratification with the Wilayah of Your-azwj guardians, and the disavowing from Your-azwj enemies and enemies of Your-azwj guardians the rejectors, the belier with the day of religion (Reckoning)!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ تَمَامَ مَا أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْنَا وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُعَانِدِينَ وَ لَا تُلْحِقْنَا بِالْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ مَعَ الْمُتَّقِينَ وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً- وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَاماً إِلَى يَوْمِ الدِّينِ- يَوْمَ يُدْعَى كُلُّ أُنَاسٍ بِإِمَامِهِمْ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِي ظِلِّ الْقَوْمِ الْمُتَّقِينَ الْهُدَاةِ بَعْدَ النَّذِيرِ الْمُنْذِرِ وَ الْبَشِيرِ الْأَئِمَّةِ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى الْهُدَى وَ لَا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى النَّارِ وَ هُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ وَ أَوْلِيَاؤُهُمُ مِنَ الْمَقْبُوحِينَ
I ask You-azwj, O Lord-azwj, for completion of what You-azwj have Favoured upon us, and do not Make us from the obstinate ones nor Join us with the beliers of the day of religion (Reckoning), and Make for us a truthful footing with the pious, and Make for us Mercy from Yourself-azwj, and Make for us an Imam-asws from the pious up to the Day of religion (Reckoning), a Day every people will be called with their respective Imams, and Make us to be in the shad of the pious people, the guides after the warning warner and the giver of glad tidings, the Imams-asws, the callers to the guidance, and do not Make us from the beliers, the callers to the Hellfire, and they, on the Day of Qiyamah, and their friends would be from the uglified!
رَبَّنَا فَاحْشُرْنَا فِي زُمْرَةِ الْهَادِي الْمَهْدِيِّ وَ أَحْيِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا عَلَى الْوَفَاءِ بِعَهْدِكَ وَ مِيثَاقِكَ الْمَأْخُوذِ مِنَّا عَلَى مُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكِ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ وَ النَّاكِثِينَ بِمِيثَاقِكَ وَ تَوَفَّنَا عَلَى ذَلِكَ وَ اجْعَلْ لَنَا مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا وَ أَثْبِتْ لَنَا قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْهِجْرَةِ إِلَيْهِمْ
Our Lord-azwj! Resurrect us in the group of the guide, the Guided, and Make us live upon the loyalty with Your-azwj Pact and Your-azwj Covenant Taken from us upon the friendship of Your‑azwj guardians and the disavowing from Your-azwj enemies, the beliers of the Day of religion (Reckoning), and the breakers of Your-azwj Covenants, and Cause us to die upon that and Make for us a way with the Rasool-saww, and Affirm for us a truthful footing in the emigrating to them-asws!
وَ اجْعَلْ مَحْيَانَا خَيْرَ الْمَحْيَا وَ مَمَاتَنَا خَيْرَ الْمَمَاتِ وَ مُنْقَلَبَنَا خَيْرَ الْمُنْقَلَبِ عَلَى مُوَالاةِ أَوْلِيَائِكَ وَ الْبَرَاءَةِ مِنْ أَعْدَائِكَ حَتَّى تَوَفَّانَا وَ أَنْتَ عَنَّا رَاضٍ قَدْ أَوْجَبْتَ لَنَا الْخُلُودَ فِي جَنَّتِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ وَ الْمَثْوَى فِي جِوَارِكَ وَ الْإِنَابَةَ إِلَى دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ- لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا نَصَبٌ وَ لَا يَمَسُّنَا فِيهَا لُغُوبٌ
And Make our lives the best of the lives, and our death the best of the deaths, and our transfer best of the transfers, being upon the friendship of Your-azwj guardians and the disavowing from Your-azwj enemies until You-azwj Cause us to die while You-azwj are Pleased with us, and Obligate for us the eternal life in Your-azwj Paradise by Your-azwj Mercy, and the abode in Your-azwj Vicinity and the penitence to the house of staying from Your-azwj Grace! Neither will toil touch us therein nor will the vanity touch us!

5- وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ بَعْضِ الْأَفَاضِلِ نَقْلًا مِنْ خَطِّ الشَّهِيدِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَكِّيٍّ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُمَا قَالَ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّ مِنَ السُّنَنِ أَنْ يَقُولَ الْمُؤْمِنُ فِي يَوْمِ الْغَدِيرِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ كَمَالَ دِينِهِ وَ تَمَامَ نِعْمَتِهِ بِوَلَايَةِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ع.
I found in the handwriting of one of the meritorious ones copying from the handwriting of the martyr Muhammad Bin Makky, may Allah-azwj Sanctify their souls, who said,
‘It is reported from the Prophet-saww that it is from the Sunnah for the Momin to say during the day of Ghadeer one hundred times, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Made the perfection of His-azwj religion and completion of His-azwj bounties with the Wilayah of Amir Al-Momineen Ali Bin Abu Talib-asws!’’[8]
6- الْعُدَدُ الْقَوِيَّةُ، لِأَخِ الْعَلَّامَةِ قَدَّسَ اللَّهُ رُوحَهُ قَالَ مَوْلَانَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقُ ع صِيَامُ يَوْمِ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ يَعْدِلُ صِيَامَ عُمُرِ الدُّنْيَا لَوْ عَاشَ إِنْسَانٌ ثُمَّ صَامَ مَا عُمِّرَتِ الدُّنْيَا لَكَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ ذَلِكَ وَ صِيَامُهُ يَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِائَةَ حَجَّةٍ وَ مِائَةَ عُمْرَةٍ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ مَبْرُورَاتٍ مُتَقَبَّلَاتٍ
(The book) ‘Al Adad Al Qawiya’ of the brother of the Allamah, may Allah-azwj Sanctify his soul –
‘Fasting on the day of Ghadeer Khumm equates to fasting the age of the world, if a person were to live (so long), then he (again) fasts for as long as the age of the world, for him would be the Rewards of that and his fast would equate in the Presence of Allah-azwj to one hundred Hajj and a hundred Umrah during every year, accomplished, Accepted!
وَ هُوَ عِيدُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ اسْمُهُ الْأَكْبَرُ وَ مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيّاً إِلَّا وَ تَعَيَّدَ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ عَرَّفَهُ حُرْمَتَهُ وَ اسْمُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ يَوْمُ الْعِيدِ الْمَعْهُودِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَوْمُ الْمِيثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوذِ وَ الْجَمْعِ الْمَشْهُودِ
And it is an Eid of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Greatest Name, and Allah-azwj has not Sent any Prophet-saww except and he-as had made it a festival in this day, and recognised its sanctity; and its name in the sky is, ‘The day of the Entrusted Pact’, and in the earth, ‘The day of the Covenanted Covenant’, and ‘The Witnessed gathering’!
وَ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَغْتَسِلُ لَهُمَا قَبْلَ الزَّوَالِ بِنِصْفِ سَاعَةٍ ثُمَّ يُصَلِّيهِمَا مَعَ الزَّوَالِ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْهُمَا فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ سُورَةَ الْقَدْرِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ هِيَ تَعْدِلُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِائَةَ أَلْفِ عُمْرَةٍ وَ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى حَاجَةً مِنْ حَوَائِجِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ إِلَّا قَضَاهَا
And one who prays two units during it, bathing for them half an hour before the midday, then he prays these with the midday thanking Allah-azwj the Exalted, reading in every unit of these Surah Al Fatiha, and Surah Al Ikhlaas ten times, and Surah Al Qadr ten times, and Ayat Al Kursi ten times, these would equate in the Presence of Allah-azwj to a hundred thousand Umrah, and he will not ask Allah-azwj the Exalted for a need from needs of the world and the Hereafter except He-azwj would Fulfil it!
فَإِنْ فَاتَتْكَ الرَّكْعَتَانِ فَاقْضِهِمَا وَ مَنْ فَطَّرَ مُؤْمِناً كَانَ كَمَنْ أَطْعَمَ فِئَاماً وَ فِئَاماً وَ لَمْ يَزَلْ ص يَعُدُّ حَتَّى عَدَّ عَشْراً
If you miss out the two units, then fulfil these later, and one who breaks the fast of a Momin, it would be as if has fed a ‘Fiyaam’, and a ‘Fiyaam’ – and he-saww did not cease counting until he-saww counted ten’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ ع أَ تَدْرِي مَا الْفِئَامُ
Then he-asws said: ‘Do you know what is the ‘Fiyaam’?’
فَقُلْتُ لَا
I said, ‘No’.
قَالَ مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ وَ كَانَ لَهُ ثَوَابُ مَنْ أَطْعَمَ بِعَدَدِهِمْ- مِنَ النَّبِيِّينَ وَ الصِّدِّيقِينَ وَ الشُّهَداءِ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ سَقَاهُمْ فِي يَوْمٍ ذِي مَسْغَبَةٍ وَ الدِّرْهَمُ يُنْفَقُ بِأَلْفِ دِرْهَمٍ
He-asws said: ‘One hundred thousand, and for him would be Rewards of the one feeding their number, from the Prophets-as, and the truthful, and the martyrs in the Sanctuary of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic and quenched them during a day of starvation; and the Dirham spent (equates) with a thousand Dirhams’.
ثُمَّ قَالَ لَعَلَّكَ تَظُنُّ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ خَلَقَ يَوْماً أَعْظَمَ حُرْمَةً مِنْهُ- لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ لَا وَ اللَّهِ
Then he-asws said: ‘Perhaps you think that Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic has Created a day of mightier sanctity than it? No, by Allah-azwj! No, by Allah-azwj! No, by Allah-azwj!’
ثُمَّ قَالَ ع وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ قَوْلِكُمْ إِذَا لَقِيتُمْ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَكْرَمَنَا بِهَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ جَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُوفِينَ بِعَهْدِهِ إِلَيْنَا وَ مِيثَاقِهِ الَّذِي وَاثَقَنَا بِهِ مِنْ وَلَايَةِ وُلَاةِ أَمْرِهِ وَ الْقُوَّامِ بِقِسْطِهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْجَاحِدِينَ وَ الْمُكَذِّبِينَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّينِ
Then he-asws said: ‘And let it be from our words when you meet each other, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Honoured us with this day and Made us from the one loyal with His-azwj Pact to us and His-azwj Covenant which He-azwj Covenanted us with, of the Wilayah of the masters of His-azwj Command, and the ones standing with His-azwj Fairness, and did not Make us from the rejecters and the beliers of the Day of Religion (Reckoning)!’
ثُمَّ يَدْعُو فِي دُبُرِ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ بِالدُّعَاءِ الْمَعْرُوفِ.
Then he should supplicate at the end with the well-known supplication’’.[9]
وَ قَالَ الْفَيَّاضُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُمَرَ الطُّوسِيُ حَضَرْتُ مَجْلِسَ مَوْلَانَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع فِي يَوْمِ الْغَدِيرِ وَ بِحَضْرَتِهِ جَمَاعَةٌ مِنْ خَوَاصِّهِ قَدِ احْتَبَسَهُمْ عِنْدَهُ لِلْإِفْطَارِ مَعَهُ قَدْ قَدَّمَ إِلَى مَنَازِلِهِمْ الطَّعَامَ وَ الْبُرَّ وَ أَلْبَسَهُمُ الصِّلَاةَ وَ الْكِسْوَةَ حَتَّى الْخَوَاتِيمَ وَ النِّعَالَ.
And Al Fayyaz Bin Muhammad Bin Umar Al Tusi said,
‘I attended a gathering of our master Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws during the day of Al-Ghadeer, and in his-asws presence was a group of his-asws special ones he-asws had withheld them in his-asws presence for breaking the fast with him-asws. He-asws forwarded the food to their houses, and the gifts, and clothed them the cash and the clothing, even the rings and the footwear’’.[10]
وَ قَالَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ رَاشِدٍ قُلْتُ لِمَوْلَانَا أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ عِيدٌ غَيْرُ الْعِيدَيْنِ
And Al-Hassan Bin Rashid said, ‘I said to our master Abu Abdullah-asws, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws! Is there for the Muslims any Eid other than the two Eids (Al-Fitr and Al-Azha)?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا حَسَنُ أَعْظَمُهُمَا وَ أَشْرَفُهُمَا
He-asws said: ‘Yes, O Hassan, their mightiest and their noblest’.
قَالَ قُلْتُ وَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ
He said, ‘I said, ‘And which day is it?’
قَالَ يَوْمٌ نُصِبَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَماً لِلنَّاسِ
He-asws said: ‘Amir Al-Momineen-asws was installed as a flag for the people’.
قُلْتُ وَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ هُوَ
I said, ‘And which day is it?’
قَالَ يَوْمُ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ مِنْ ذِي الْحِجَّةِ
He-asws said: ‘The 18th day of Zil Hijjah’.
قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ وَ مَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ نَصْنَعَ فِيهِ
I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you-asws, and what is befitting for us do to during it?’
قَالَ تَصُومُهُ وَ تُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ تَبَرَّأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِمَّنْ ظَلَمَهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ ع كَانَتْ تَأْمُرُ الْأَوْصِيَاءَ بِالْيَوْمِ الَّذِي كَانَ يُقِيمُ الْوَصِيَّ فِيهِ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ عِيداً
He-asws said: ‘You should fast it and frequent the Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and People‑asws of his-saww Household, and disavow to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic from the ones who oppress them-asws of their-asws rights, for the Prophets-as used to instruct the successors-as with the day in which the successor-as was established in, to be taken as an Eid (festival)’.
قُلْتُ مَا لِمَنْ صَامَهُ
I said, ‘What is for the one who fasts it?’
قَالَ صِيَامُ سِتِّينَ شَهْراً.
He-asws said: ‘Fasting for sixty months’’.[11]
وَ عَنِ الْمُفَضَّلِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ الصَّادِقُ ع إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الْقِيَامَةِ زُفَّتْ أَرْبَعَةُ أَيَّامٍ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ كَمَا تُزَفُّ الْعَرُوسُ إِلَى خِدْرِهَا- يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ وَ يَوْمُ الْأَضْحَى وَ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَوْمُ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ وَ إِنَّ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ بَيْنَ الْفِطَرِ وَ الْأَضْحَى وَ الْجُمُعَةِ كَالْقَمَرِ بَيْنَ الْكَوَاكِبِ
And from Al-Mufazzal Bin Umar – ‘Al-Sadiq-asws said: ‘When it will be the Day of Qiyamah, four days will be escorted to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majesty just as the bride tends to be escorted to her chamber – the day of Al-Fitr, and the day of Al-Azha, and the day of Friday, and the day of Ghadeer Khumm, and the day of Ghadeer Khumm between Al-Fitr and Al-Azha and the Friday is like the moon between the planets!
وَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَيُوَكِّلُ يَوْمَ غَدِيرِ خُمٍّ مَلَائِكَتَهُ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ سَيِّدُهُمْ جَبْرَئِيلُ ع وَ أَنْبِيَاءَهُ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ سَيِّدُهُمْ مُحَمَّدٌ ص وَ أَوْصِيَاءَ اللَّهِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ وَ سَيِّدُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ عِبَادَ اللَّهِ الصَّالِحِينَ وَ سَيِّدُهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ سَلْمَانُ وَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ وَ الْمِقْدَادُ وَ عَمَّارٌ حَتَّى يُذَادُوا بِهَا الْجِنَانَ كَمَا يُذَادُ الرَّاعِي بِغَنَمِهِ الْمَاءَ وَ الْكَلَأَ
And on the day of Ghadeer Khumm Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Allocates His-azwj Angels of Proximity, and their chief is Jibraeel-as, and His-azwj Messenger Prophets-as, and their chief is Muhammad-saww, and the selected successors of Allah-azwj, and their chief on that day is Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and the righteous servants of Allah-azwj, and their chiefs on that day are Salman-ra, and Abu Zarr-ra, and Al-Miqdad-ra, and Ammar-ra until they-asws usher with it to the Gardens just as the shepherd ushers his sheep to the water and the fodder!
قَالَ الْمُفَضَّلُ قُلْتُ يَا سَيِّدِي تَأْمُرُنِي بِصِيَامِهِ قَالَ إِي وَ اللَّهِ إِي وَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي نَجَّى اللَّهُ فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ع مِنَ النَّارِ فَصَامَ شُكْراً لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ إِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي أَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص- أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع عَلَماً وَ أَبَانَ فَضْلَهُ وَ وَصِيَّتَهُ فَصَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ صِيَامٍ وَ قِيَامٍ وَ إِطْعَامِ الطَّعَامِ وَ صِلَةِ الْإِخْوَانِ وَ فِيهِ مَرْضَاةُ الرَّحْمَنِ وَ مَرْغَمَةُ الشَّيْطَانِ.
Al-Mufazzal said, ‘I said, ‘O my chief! Are you instructing me to fast it?’
He-asws said: ‘Yes, by Allah-azwj! Yes, by Allah-azwj! It is the day in which Allah-azwj had rescued Ibrahim-as from the fire, so he-as fasted that day for thanking to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and it is the day in which Rasool-Allah-saww stood installed Amir Al-Momineen-asws as a flag and manifested his-asws merit and his-asws successor-ship, so he-asws fasted that day, and that is a day of fasting and standing (for Salat) and feeding the good, and connecting the brethren, and in it is Pleasure of the Beneficent and rubbing the nose of Satan-la’’.[12]

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – ‘As for the acts of worship on the first night of Al Muharram, form that is what is mentioned by author of the book ‘Al Mukhtasar Min Al Muntakhab’, he said,
‘The supplication when you sight the crescent, exclaim Greatness of Allah-azwj the Exalted and say, ‘Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest! My Lord-azwj and your Lord-azwj is Allah-azwj! There is no god except He-azwj, Lord-azwj of the worlds!

The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who Created me and Created you (crescent), and Determined you to be in your stages and Made you-asws a sign for the worlds! Allah-azwj Boasts with you to the Angels!

O Allah-azwj! Make it (crescent) appear upon us with the security, and the Eman, and the safety, and Al-Islam, and the exultation, and the cheerfulness, and the splendour, and Affirm us upon obedience to You-azwj, and the swiftness in what Pleases You-azwj!

O Allah-azwj! Bless for us in this month of ours, and Provide us its goodness, and its Blessings, and its development, and its success, and Turn away from us its evil, and its afflictions, and its Fitna with Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[15]

The supplication at the crescent of Al-Muharram, and the first day of it. You should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj!

O the One-azwj Who is a Knower of my poverty (neediness) to His-azwj beautiful Consideration, and vastness of His-azwj Mercy! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Names, all of them, what I know from these and what I don’t know, and by Your-azwj Right upon Your-azwj creatures, and by Your-azwj Precedence, and Your-azwj Eternal prior Existence, and Your-azwj being worshipped, and Your‑azwj Eternality, and Your-azwj Continuousness, and Your-azwj Greatness, and Your-azwj Powerfulness, and Your-azwj Magnificent, and Your-azwj Splendour, and Your-azwj Desire!
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تُقَدِّسَنِي بِلَمَحَاتِ جِنَانِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ رِضْوَانِكَ وَ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنْ كُلِّ مَا نَهَيْتَنِي عَنْهُ وَ تُوَفِّقَنِي لِمَا يُرْضِيكَ عَنِّي وَ تُجْبِرَنِي عَلَى مَا أَمَرْتَنِي بِهِ وَ أَحْبَبْتَهُ مِنِّي-
Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws, and Mercy me, and Sanctify me with glimpses of Your-azwj Gardens, and Your-azwj Forgiveness, and Your-azwj Pleasure, and Protect me from all what You-azwj have Prohibited me from, and Cause me to die for what would Please You-azwj from me, and Compel me upon what You-azwj have Commanded me, and Love it from me!
اللَّهُمَّ امْلَأْ قَلْبِي وَقَارَ جَلَالِكَ وَ جَلَالِ عَظَمَتِكَ وَ كِبْرِيَائِكَ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى جَمِيعِ أَعْدَائِكَ وَ أَعْدَائِي يَا خَيْرَ الْمَالِكِينَ وَ أَوْسَعَ الرَّازِقِينَ وَ يَا مُكَوِّرَ الدُّهُورِ وَ يَا مُبَدِّلَ الْأَزْمَانِ وَ يَا مُولِجَ اللَّيْلِ فِي النَّهَارِ وَ مُولِجَ النَّهَارِ فِي اللَّيْلِ يَا مُدَبِّرَ الدُّوَلِ وَ الْأُمُورِ وَ الْأَيَّامِ أَنْتَ الْقَدِيمُ الَّذِي لَمْ تَزَلْ وَ الْمَالِكُ الَّذِي لَا يَزُولُ-
O Allah-azwj! Fill my heart with Dignity of Your-azwj Majesty, and Majesty of Your-azwj Magnificence, and Assist me against entirety of Your-azwj enemies and my enemies! O the Best of the owners, and the most Capacious of the providers, and O Turner of the times, and O Changers of the eras, and O Inserter of the night into the day and Inserter of the day into the night! O Manager of the times, and the matters, and the days! You-azwj are the Ancient Who did not cease to be, and the Owner Who will not cease to be!
سُبْحَانَكَ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ بِحَمْدِكَ وَ حَوْلِكَ عَلَى كُلِّ حَمْدٍ وَ حَوْلٍ دَائِماً مَعَ دَوَامِكَ وَ سَاطِعاً بِكِبْرِيَائِكَ أَنْتَ إِلَهِي وَلِيُّ الْحَامِدِينَ وَ مَوْلَى الشَّاكِرِينَ يَا مَنْ مَزِيدُهُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَ يَا مَنْ نِعَمُهُ لَا تُجَازَى وَ شُكْرُهُ لَا يُقْضَى وَ مُلْكُهُ لَا يَبِيدُ وَ أَيَّامُهُ لَا يُحْصَى
Glory be to You-azwj, and for You-azwj is the Praise with Your-azwj Praise, and Your-azwj Might upon every Praise, and permanent Might with Your-azwj Permanence, and shining with Your-azwj Greatness! You-azwj are my God-azwj, Guardian of the praising ones, and Master of the thankful! O the One-azwj Who Increases without measure, and O the One-azwj Whose bounties cannot be surpassed, and thanking Him-azwj cannot be fulfilled, and His-azwj Kingdom does not terminate, and its days cannot be counted!
صِلْ أَيَّامِي بِأَيَّامِكَ مَغْفُوراً لِي مُحَرَّماً لَحْمِي وَ دَمِي وَ مَا وَهَبْتَ لِي مِنَ الْخَلْقِ وَ الْحَيَاةِ وَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ عَلَى النَّارِ يَا جَارَ الْمُسْتَجِيرِينَ وَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ-
Connect my days with Your-azwj days having Forgiven for me, my flesh and my blood and whatever You-azwj have Bestowed to me from the physique, and the life, and the might and the strength being prohibited unto the Hellfire! O Shelter of the shelter-seekers, and O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ- مالِكِ يَوْمِ الدِّينِ إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ إِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِينُ لِنَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ سَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَ جَسَدِي وَ جَمِيعِ جَوَارِحِي وَ وَالِدَيَّ وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ أَوْلَادِي وَ جَمِيعِ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ وَ سَائِرِ مَا مَلَكَتْ يَمِينِي عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَنْ أَخَافُهُ وَ أَحْذَرُهُ بَرّاً وَ بَحْراً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَجْمَعِينَ
In the Name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful [1:1] All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2] The Beneficent, the Merciful [1:3] Master of the Day of Reckoning [1:4] (It is) You we worship and You do we seek Assistance (from) [1:5], for myself, and my religion, and my hearing, and my sight, and my body, and entirety of my limbs, and my parents, and my family, and my wealth, and my children, and entirety of the one whose matter concerns me and rest of what my rights hands possess against the ones I fear and am cautious of, in land and sea from Your-azwj creatures altogether!
اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ أَعَزُّ وَ أَجَلُّ وَ أَمْنَعُ مِمَّا أَخَافُ وَ أَحْذَرُ عَزَّ جَارُ اللَّهِ وَ جَلَّ ثَنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ
Allah-azwj is Greatest! Allah-azwj is Greatest, and the Mightiest, and the most Majestic, and the most Preventing from what I fear and am being cautious! Mighty is the Shelter of Allah-azwj and Majestic is the Laudation of Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِي جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ فِي حِمَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَبَاحُ وَ لَا يُذَلُّ وَ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُخْفَرُ وَ فِي مَنْعَتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُسْتَذَلُّ وَ لَا تُسْتَضَامُ وَ جَارُ اللَّهِ آمِنٌ مَحْفُوظٌ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
O Allah-azwj! Make me to be in Your-azwj Shelter which cannot be breached, and in Your-azwj Protection which cannot be violated or disgraced, and in Your-azwj Guarantee which cannot be broken, and in Your-azwj Defence which can neither be overcome or breached, and the Shelter of Allah-azwj Secure, Protected, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا كَافِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ يَا مَنْ لَيْسَ مِثْلَ كِفَايَتِهِ شَيْءٌ اكْفِنِي كُلَّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى لَا يَضُرَّنِي مَعَكَ شَيْءٌ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي الْهَمَّ وَ الْحُزْنَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ يَا اللَّهُ يَا كَرِيمُ
O Allah-azwj! O Sufficient from all things and nothing can suffice from Him-azwj! O the One-azwj nothing is like His-azwj Sufficing! Suffice me of all things until nothing would harm me along with it, and Turn away from me the worries and the grief, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent, O Allah-azwj, O Benevolent!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نُحُورِ أَعْدَائِي وَ كُلِّ مَنْ يُرِيدُ بِي سُوءاً وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِمْ وَ أَسْتَعِينُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاكْفِنِيهِمْ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ-
O Allah-azwj! I rotate through You-azwj into the necks of my enemies, and every one who intends evil with me, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from their evil, and I seek Your-azwj Assistance against them! Suffice them with whatever You-azwj Desire, and however You-azwj Desire, and from wherever You-azwj Desire, and whenever You-azwj Desire!
فَسَيَكْفِيكَهُمُ اللَّهُ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ- سَنَشُدُّ عَضُدَكَ بِأَخِيكَ وَ نَجْعَلُ لَكُما سُلْطاناً فَلا يَصِلُونَ إِلَيْكُما بِآياتِنا أَنْتُما وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَكُمَا الْغالِبُونَ-
So, Allah will Suffice you against them, and He is the Hearing, the Knowing [2:137] “We will Strengthen your arm with your brother, and We will Give you both an Authorisation, so that they would not get to you. With Our Signs, you and the ones who follow you two, would be victorious!” [28:35]!
إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ- لا تَخافا إِنَّنِي مَعَكُما أَسْمَعُ وَ أَرى- أَعُوذُ بِالرَّحْمنِ مِنْكَ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَقِيًّا- اخْسَؤُا فِيها وَ لا تُكَلِّمُونِ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
We are the Messengers of your Lord; they will never reach you. [11:81] He said: “Do not fear! I am with you both. I hear and I See” [20:46] ‘I seek Refuge with the Beneficent from you, if you were pious’ [19:18] “Go away into it and do not speak to Me!” [23:108]. I come to an evening and an evening by the Might of Allah-azwj Who, there isn’t anything like Him-azwj!
مُمْتَنِعاً وَ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ كُلِّهَا مُحْتَرِزاً وَ بِأَسْمَاءِ اللَّهِ الْحَسَنَةِ مُتَعَوِّذاً وَ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ مُوسَى وَ هَارُونَ وَ رَبِّ عِيسَى وَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي وَفَّى مِنْ شَرِّ الْمَرَدَةِ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ أَخَذْتُ سَمْعَ كُلِّ طَاغٍ وَ بَاغٍ وَ عَدُوٍّ وَ حَاسِدٍ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ أَوْلَادِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ مَالِي وَ جَمِيعِ مَنْ يَعْنِينِي أَمْرُهُ
I stand firm, seeking refuge with all of the Perfect Words of Allah-azwj and protection through His-azwj beautiful Names. I seek shelter with the Lord-azwj of Musa-as and Haroun-as, the Lord-azwj of Isa-as and Ibrahim-as who fulfilled His-azwj Covenant, from the evil of rebellious beings among jinn and humans, from the harm of every defiant devil, and from the tyranny of every obstinate tyrant. I take hold of the hearing of every tyrant, and rebel, and enemy, and envier from the Jinn and the humans, for me and from my children, and my family, and my wealth, and entirety of the ones whose matter concerns me!
وَ أَخَذْتُ سَمْعَ كُلِّ مُطَالِبٍ وَ بَصَرَهُ وَ قُوَّتَهُ وَ يَدَيْهِ وَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَ لِسَانَهُ وَ شَعْرَهُ وَ بَشَرَهُ وَ جَمِيعَ جَوَارِحِهِ بِسَمْعِ اللَّهِ وَ أَخَذْتُ أَبْصَارَهُمْ عَنِّي بِبَصَرِ اللَّهِ وَ كَسَرْتُ قُوَّتَهُمْ عَنِّي بِقُوَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ بِكَيْدِ اللَّهِ الْمَتِينِ
And I have seized the hearing of every claimant, and their sight, and their strength, and their hands, and their feet, and their tongue, and their hair, and their skin, and all their limbs with the hearing of Allah-azwj. I have veiled their sight from me with the sight of Allah-azwj and broken their strength against me with the strength of Allah-azwj and with the firm Stratagem of Allah‑azwj!
فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ عَلَيَّ سُلْطَانٌ وَ لَا سَبِيلٌ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ حِجَابٌ مَسْتُورٌ بِسَتْرِ اللَّهِ وَ سَتْرِ النُّبُوَّةِ الَّذِي احْتَجَبُوا بِهِ مِنْ سَطَوَاتِ الْفَرَاعِنَةِ فَسَتَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ بِهِ جَبْرَئِيلُ عَنْ أَيْمَانِكُمْ وَ مِيكَائِيلُ عَنْ شَمَائِلِكُمْ وَ مُحَمَّدٌ ص بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَكُمْ وَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَ عَزَّ عَالٍ عَلَيْكُمْ وَ مُحِيطٌ بِكُمْ مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ وَ آخِذٌ بِنَوَاصِيكُمْ وَ بِسَمْعِكُمْ وَ أَبْصَارِكُمْ وَ قُلُوبِكُمْ وَ أَلْسِنَتِكُمْ وَ قُوَاكُمْ وَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَ أَرْجُلِكُمْ يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ شُرُورِكُمْ
So, they have no authority over me, nor any path against me. Between us and them is a concealed veil of Protection of Allah-azwj and the veil of Prophethood, which shielded them from the assaults of Pharaohs. By it, Allah-azwj Protected them. Jibraeel-as is on your right, Mikaeel-as is on your left, Muhammad-saww is between us and you, and Allah-azwj Majestic and Mighty is Exalted above you and Encompassing you from before you and behind you. He-azwj Seizes your forelocks, and your hearing, and your sight, and your hearts, and your tongues, and your strength, and your hands, and your feet, and He-azwj Blocks the harm of your evils from reaching us!
وَ جَعَلْنا فِي أَعْناقِهِمْ أَغْلالًا فَهِيَ إِلَى الْأَذْقانِ فَهُمْ مُقْمَحُونَ- وَ جَعَلْنا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْدِيهِمْ سَدًّا وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدًّا فَأَغْشَيْناهُمْ فَهُمْ لا يُبْصِرُونَ شَاهَتِ الْوُجُوهُ صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ طه حم لَا يُنْصَرُونَ
Surely, We Made shackles to be in their necks, so these are up to their chins, so their heads are raised [36:8] And We Made a barrier to be from their front and a barrier from their back, and We Covered them, so they are not seeing [36:9], the faces will be pale, Deaf, dumb (and) blind, so they will not be returning [2:18] Ta Ha [20:1] Ha Meem [41:1], they will not be helped!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ سِتْرُهُ لَا يُرَامُ وَ يَا مَنْ عَيْنُهُ لَا تَنَامُ اسْتُرْنِي بِسِتْرِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ مِنَ الْآفَاتِ كُلِّهَا حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ جَمِيعِ خَلْقِهِ
O Allah-azwj! O the One, His-azwj Cover cannot be breached, and O the One, His-azwj Eyes do not sleep! Cover me with Your-azwj Covering which cannot be breached, and Protect me with Your‑azwj eye which do not sleep, from all of the afflictions! Allah-azwj Suffices me from entirety of His-azwj creatures!
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي يَكْفِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ حَسْبِيَ الْخَالِقُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمَرْبُوبِينَ حَسْبِي مَنْ لَا يَمُنُّ مِمَّنْ يَمُنُّ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ الْقَرِيبُ الْمُجِيبُ
Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj Who Suffices from all things and nothing suffices from Him-azwj! Sufficient for me is the Creator from the created beings! Sufficient for me is the Provider from the provided! Sufficient for me is the Nourisher from the nourished! Sufficient for me is the One-azwj Who does not depend on anyone who depends on others! Sufficient is Allah-azwj the Near, the Responding!
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ مِنْ كُلِّ أَحَدٍ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ وَ كَفَى سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ دَعَا لَيْسَ وَرَاءَ اللَّهِ مُنْتَهًى وَ لَا مِنَ اللَّهِ مَهْرَبٌ وَ لَا مَنْجًى حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj from every one! Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! Sufficient for me is Allah-azwj and Suffices! Allah-azwj Hears the one who supplicates! There is no ultimate beyond Allah-azwj nor is there any escape from Allah-azwj nor rescue! Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129]!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي فِي جِوَارِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ فِي حِمَاكَ الَّذِي لَا يُسْتَبَاحُ وَ فِي ذِمَّتِكَ الَّتِي لَا تُخْفَرُ وَ احْفَظْنِي بِعَيْنِكَ الَّتِي لَا تَنَامُ وَ اكْنُفْنِي بِرُكْنِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُرَامُ وَ أَدْخِلْنِي فِي عِزِّكَ الَّذِي لَا يُضَامُ وَ ارْحَمْنِي بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا رَحْمَانُ
O Allah-azwj! Make me to be in Your-azwj Shelter which cannot be breached, and in Your-azwj Safeguard that cannot be violated, and in Your-azwj Covenant that is never broken. Guard me with Your-azwj Watchful eye that never sleeps and Shelter me with Your-azwj unassailable Might! Admit me into Your-azwj Honour that cannot be diminished, and have Mercy on me by Your‑azwj Mercy, O Beneficent!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا اللَّهُ لَا تُهْلِكْنِي وَ أَنْتَ رَجَائِي يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ وَ أُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَى اللَّهِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبادِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ
O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj do not let me destroyed while You-azwj are my hope! O Beneficent, O Merciful, and I entrust my matters to Allah, surely Allah Sees the servants’ [40:44], and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent, and whatever Allah-azwj Desires, happens!
أَعُوذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللَّهِ وَ جَلَالِ وَجْهِهِ وَ مَا وَعَاهُ اللَّوْحُ مِنْ عِلْمِ اللَّهِ وَ مَا سَتَرَتِ الْحُجُبُ مِنْ نُورِ بَهَاءِ اللَّهِ
I seek Refuge with Allah-azwj and Majesty of His-azwj Face, and what the Tablet retains of the Knowledge of Allah-azwj, and what the veils cover the Noor of the Splendour of Allah-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي ضَعِيفٌ مُعِيلٌ فَقِيرٌ طَالِبُ حَوَائِجَ قَضَاؤُهُ بِيَدِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I am weak, destitute, poor, seeker of needs their fulfilment is in Your-azwj Hand (control)!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ الْوَاحِدِ الْأَحَدِ الْفَرْدِ الصَّمَدِ الْكَبِيرِ الْمُتَعَالِ الَّذِي مَلَأَ الْأَرْكَانَ كُلَّهَا حِفْظاً وَ عِلْماً أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ أَوَّلَ شَهْرِي هَذَا وَ أَوَّلَ سَنَتِي هَذِهِ صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ أَوْسَطَ شَهْرِي هَذَا وَ أَوْسَطَ سَنَتِي هَذِهِ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَ يَوْمِي هَذَا وَ آخِرَ شَهْرِي هَذَا وَ آخِرَ سَنَتِي هَذِهِ نَجَاحاً وَ أَنْ تَتُوبَ عَلَيَ إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ
I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, by Your-azwj Name the One, the First, the Individual, the Non-hollow, the Great, the Exalted Who fills the elements, all of them with Protection and Knowledge, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and to Make the beginning of this day of mine, and the beginning of this month of mine, and the beginning of this year of mine as righteous, and the middle of this day of this, and middle of this month of mine, and middle of this year of mine as successful, and end of this day of mine, and end of this month of mine, and last of this year of mine as gainful, and to Turn to me, surely You‑azwj are the most Oft-Turning, the most Merciful!
اللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْنِي بَرَكَةَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ هَذِهِ السَّنَةِ وَ يُمْنَهُمَا وَ بَرَكَتَهُمَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَهُمَا وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّهُمَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي فِيهِمَا الصِّحَّةَ وَ السَّلَامَةَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الِاسْتِقَامَةَ وَ السَّعَةَ وَ الدَّعَةَ وَ الْأَمْنَ وَ الْكِفَايَةَ وَ الْحِرَاسَةَ وَ الْكِلَاءَةَ
O Allah-azwj!

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ اعْتَصَمْتُ بِعُرْوَةِ اللَّهِ الْوُثْقَى الَّتِي- لَا انْفِصامَ لَها وَ اللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ
I have relied upon the Living Who does not die, and I have held one to the Firmest Handhold of Allah-azwj which there would be no breaking for it; and Allah is Hearing, Knowing [2:256]!

اللَّهُمَّ يَا دَلِيلَ الْمُتَحَيِّرِينَ وَ يَا مفرج [مُفَرِّجاً] عَنِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ وَ يَا مروح [مُرَوِّحاً] عَنِ الْمَغْمُومِينَ وَ يَا مؤدي [مُؤَدِّياً] عَنِ الْمَدْيُونِينَ وَ يَا إِلَهَ الْعَالَمِينَ فَرِّجْ كَرْبِي وَ هَمِّي وَ غَمِّي وَ أَدِّ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَدْيُونٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ مُنَايَ وَ افْتَحْ لِي مِنْكَ بِخَيْرٍ وَ اخْتِمْ لِي بِخَيْرٍ
O Allah-azwj! O Guide of the confused, and O Reliever from the distressed, and O Comforter from the saddened, and O Fulfiller from the indebted, and O God-azwj of the worlds! Relieve my distress, and my worries, and my sadness, and Fulfil on my behalf and on behalf of every indebted one, and Grant my request and my wishes, and Begin for me from You-azwj with goodness, and End for me with goodness!
اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَجَائِي وَ عُدَّتِي لَا تَقْطَعْ مِنْكَ رَجَائِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَ افْتَحْ لِي أَبْوَابَ الرِّزْقِ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَحْتَسِبُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَعْلَمُ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَرْجُو وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا أَرْجُو وَ ارْزُقْنِي السَّلَامَةَ وَ الْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْبَرَكَةَ فِي جَمِيعِ مَا رَزَقْتَنِي وَ خِرْ لِي فِي جَمِيعِ أُمُورِي خِيَرَةً فِي عَافِيَةٍ وَ كُنْ لِي وَلِيّاً وَ حَافِظاً وَ نَاصِراً وَ لَقِّنِّي حُجَّتِي
O Allah-azwj, O my Hope and my Weapon! Do not let my hopes be cut off from You-azwj and Rectify my affairs, all of them, and Open for me the doors of sustenance from where I anticipate and from when I do not anticipate, and from where I know and from where I don’t know, and from where I hope and from where I don’t hope, and Provide me the safety, and the well-being, and the Blessings in entirety of what You-azwj have Graced me, and Choose for me in entirety of my affairs the best in well-being, and Be for me a Guardian and a Protector, and a Helper, and Indoctrinate to me my argument!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ أَوْ أَمَةٍ مِنْ إِمَائِكَ كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي مَظْلِمَةٌ ظَلَمْتُهُ بِهَا فِي مَالِهِ أَوْ سَمْعِهِ أَوْ بَصَرِهِ أَوْ قُوَّتِهِ وَ لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ رَدَّهَا عَلَيْهِ وَ لَا تَحِلَّتَهَا مِنْهُ فَأَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْ تُرْضِيَهُ عَنِّي بِمَا شِئْتَ ثُمَّ تَهَبَ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً يَا وَهَّابَ الْعَطَايَا وَ الْخَيْرِ
O Allah-azwj, and whichever servant from Your-azwj servants, or maid from Your-azwj maid has a demand for him against me I had oppressed him with it whether regarding his wealth, or his reputation, or his sight, or his strength, and I am not capable of returning it to him and being released from it. I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, to Please him on my behalf with whatever You-azwj Desire, and Gift to me Mercy from You-azwj, O Bestower of the awards and the goodness!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ لَا تُخْرِجْنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَ لِأَحَدٍ فِي رَقَبَتِي تَبِعَةٌ وَ لَا ذَنْبٌ إِلَّا وَ قَدْ غَفَرْتَ ذَلِكَ لِي بِكَرَمِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj, and do not Exit me from the world and for someone, there is a liability in my neck, nor a sin (offence) except and You-azwj Forgive that for me by Your-azwj Benevolent and Your‑azwj Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الثَّبَاتَ فِي الْأَمْرِ وَ الْعَزِيمَةَ عَلَى الرُّشْدِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبِّ شُكْرَ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ حُسْنَ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ اللَّهُمَّ قَلْباً سَلِيماً وَ لِسَاناً صَادِقاً وَ يَقِيناً نَافِعاً وَ رِزْقاً دَارّاً هَنِيئاً وَ رَحْمَةً أَنَالُ بِهَا شَرَفَ كَرَامَتِكَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْعَافِيَةَ عَافِيَةً تَتْبَعُهَا عَافِيَةٌ شَافِيَةٌ كَافِيَةٌ عَافِيَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O my Chief and O my Master, for You-azwj to be a Support for me, and Reliance, and Pillar, and Store, and Reserve, and do not disappoint my hopes, and do not Cut off my hopes and do not Let my Trials exhaust me, nor Make Decrees for me as evil, not let my enemies gloat with me!

O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj O Allah-azwj, O Greater than all great ones, O the One-azwj there is no associate for Him-azwj nor a minister, O Creator of the sun and the radiant moon!

O Freer of the shackled captive, O Mender of the broken bones, O Breaker of every arrogant tyrant, O Reviver of the bones and they are dust! O the One-azwj having no rival for Him-azwj nor a resemblance!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي بِكُلِّ مَا دَعَوْتُكَ بِهِ مِنْ هَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَ بِجَمِيعِ أَسْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا وَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَ مُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَ بِجَدِّكَ الْأَعْلَى وَ بِكَ فَلَا شَيْءَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْكَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لَنَا وَ تَرْحَمَنَا فَإِنَّا إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ فُقَرَاءُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and I ask You-azwj, O my God-azwj, of all what I have supplicated with to You‑azwj from this supplication, and the entirety of Your-azwj Names, all of them, and by the Seat of Honour from Your-azwj Throne, and the ultimate Mercy from Your-azwj Book, and by Your-azwj Exalted Generosity, and by You-azwj because there is nothing Mightier than You-azwj, to Forgive for us and Mercy us, for we are needy to Your-azwj Mercy, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ وَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَ الْمُسْلِمَاتِ الْأَحْيَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَ الْأَمْوَاتِ وَ اجْمَعْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْخَيْرَاتِ
O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me and for my parents, and for the believing men and the believing women, and the Muslim men and the Muslim women, the living ones from them and the dead, and Gather between us and them with the goodness!
وَ اكْفِنِي اللَّهُمَّ يَا رَبِّ مَا لَا يَكْفِينِيهِ أَحَدٌ سِوَاكَ وَ اقْضِ لِي جَمِيعَ حَوَائِجِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَ سَهِّلْ لِي مَحَابِّي كُلَّهَا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَ عَافِيَةٍ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ كَانَ
And Suffice me, O Allah-azwj, O Lord-azwj, with what no one besides You-azwj can Suffice, and Fulfil for me the entirety of my needs, and Rectify my affairs for me, all of them, and Facilitate for me of my fears, all of them, in ease from You-azwj and well-being, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent!

وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا ذَكَرُهُ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ شَاذَانَ وَ رَوَاهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ لَيْلَةً شَرِيفَةً وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهَا مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ وَ يُسَلِّمُ فِي آخِرِ كُلِّ تَشَهُّدٍ وَ صَامَ صَبِيحَةَ الْيَوْمِ وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ كَانَ مِمَّنْ يَدُومُ عَلَيْهِ الْخَيْرُ سَنَتَهُ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَحْفُوظاً مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ إِلَى الْقَابِلِ وَ إِنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ صَارَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى.
And from that is what is mentioned by Ahmad Bin Ja’far Bin Shazan, and he reported it from the Prophet-saww as having said: ‘In Al-Muharram there is a noble night, and it is the first night. One who prays one hundred units of Salat during it, reading in every unit Surah Al Hamd and Surah Al Tawheed, and he performs Salaam at the end of every Tashahhud, and fasts in the morning of the day, and it is the first day of Al-Muharram, would be from the ones the goodness will be constantly upon him for his year, and he will not cease to be protected from the Fitna up to the following year, and if he were to die before that he would come to the Paradise, if Allah-azwj the Exalted so Desires!’’[17] (from a non-Shia source)
صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى أَوَّلَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ مِنْ طُرُقِهِمْ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: تُصَلِّي أَوَّلَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَقْرَأُ فِي الْأُولَى فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ الْأَنْعَامِ وَ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَ سُورَةَ يس.
Another Salat in the first night of Al-Muharram from their paths (chains of attributions), from the Prophet-saww, he-saww said: ‘You should pray two units Salat in the first night of Al-Muharram, reading in the first, Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Al Anaam, and in the second Surah Al Fatiha and Surah Yaseen’’.[18] (from a non-Shia source)
صَلَاةٌ أُخْرَى أَوَّلَ لَيْلَةٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَوَاهَا عَبْدُ الْقَادِرِ بْنُ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ الْأَشْتَرِيُّ فِي كِتَابِهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: إِنَّ فِي الْمُحَرَّمِ لَيْلَةً وَ هِيَ أَوَّلُ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْهُ مَنْ صَلَّى فِيهَا رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِيهَا سُورَةَ الْحَمْدِ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ إِحْدَى عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً وَ صَامَ صَبِيحَتَهَا وَ هُوَ أَوَّلُ يَوْمٍ مِنَ السَّنَةِ فَهُوَ كَمَنْ يَدُومُ عَلَى الْخَيْرِ سَنَتَهُ وَ لَا يَزَالُ مَحْفُوظاً مِنَ السَّنَةِ إِلَى قَابِلٍ فَإِنْ مَاتَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ صَارَ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ.
Another Salat in the first night of Al-Muharram reported by Abdul Qadir Bin Abu Al Qasim Al Ashtary in his book, by his chain from Rasool-Allah-saww, he-saww said: ‘In Al-Muharram there is a night, and it is the first night of it. One who prays during it two units Salat, reading it is Surah Al Hamd, and Surah Al Tawheed eleven times, and fasts its morning, and it is the first day of the year, he would be like the one being constantly upon the goodness in his year, and he will not cease to be protected from the year to the next. If he dies before that, he would come to the Paradise’’(from a non-Shia source).[19]
قل، إقبال الأعمال فليعمل في أول يوم من المحرم صلاة أول كل شهر و دعاءه و صدقاته كما مر في موضعه
(The book) Iqbal Al Amaal’ – Let him do in the first day of Al-Muharram Salat of the first of every months and its supplication, and its charities just as has already passed in its place.[20]
وَ رُوِيَ فِي الْفَقِيهِ فِي أَوَّلِ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ دَعَا زَكَرِيَّا رَبَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَمَنْ صَامَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَهُ كَمَا اسْتَجَابَ لِزَكَرِيَّا ع.
‘And it is reported in (the book) ‘Al-Faqeeh’ regarding the first day of Al-Muharram, a supplication by Zakariya-as to his-as Lord-azwj Mighty and Majestic. The one who fasts that day, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will respond to him just as He-azwj had Responded to Zakariya-as’(from a non-Shia source).[21]
و ذكر شيخنا المفيد ره في حدائق الرياض في أول يوم من المحرم استجاب الله تعالى ذكره دعوة زكريا فاستحب صيامه لمن أحب أن يجيب الله دعوته و ينبغي أن يدعو بما ذكرناه من الدعاء في عمل أول ليلة منه عند استهلال المحرم.
And it is mentioned by our Sheykh Al Mufeed in ‘Hadaaiq Al-Riyaaz’ regarding the first day of Al-Muharram, ‘Allah-azwj, Exalted is His-azwj Mention, Responded to the supplication of Zakariya-as, therefore it is recommended to fast it for the one who loves Allah-azwj to Respond to his supplication, and it is befitting if he were to supplicate with what we mention, from the supplication among acts of worship of the first night of it at the crescent of Al-Muharram’.[22]
وَ رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْمُطَّلِبِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ فُضَيْلٍ الصَّيْرَفِيِّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُوسَى الرِّضَا عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ جَدِّهِ عَنْ آبَائِهِ ع قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يُصَلِّي أَوَّلَ يَوْمٍ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ وَ دَعَا بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ-
And we are reporting by our chain to Muhammad Bin Abdullah Bin Al Muttalib Al Shaybani, by his chain to Muhammad Bin Fuzeyl Al Sayrafi who said,
‘It is narrated to us my Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws, from his-asws father-asws, from his-asws grandfather-asws, from his-asws forefathers-asws having said: ‘Rasool-Allah-saww used to pray two units Salat in the first day of Al-Muharram. When he-saww was free, he-saww raised his-saww hands and supplicated with this supplication three times: –
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْإِلَهُ الْقَدِيمُ وَ هَذِهِ سَنَةٌ جَدِيدَةٌ فَأَسْأَلُكَ فِيهَا الْعِصْمَةَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ الْقُوَّةَ عَلَى هَذِهِ النَّفْسِ الْأَمَّارَةِ بِالسُّوْءِ وَ الِاشْتِغَالَ بِمَا يُقَرِّبُنِي إِلَيْكَ
‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Ancient God-azwj, and this is a new month, so I ask You-azwj during it for the Protection from Satan-la, and the strength upon this soul instructing with the evil deeds and the pre-occupation with what would draw me closer to You-azwj!
يَا كَرِيمُ يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ يَا عِمَادَ مَنْ لَا عِمَادَ لَهُ يَا ذَخِيرَةَ مَنْ لَا ذَخِيرَةَ لَهُ يَا حِرْزَ مَنْ لَا حِرْزَ لَهُ يَا غِيَاثَ مَنْ لَا غِيَاثَ لَهُ يَا سَنَدَ مَنْ لَا سَنَدَ لَهُ يَا كَنْزَ مَنْ لَا كَنْزَ لَهُ
O Benevolent, O with the Majesty and the Benevolent, O Reliance of the one having no reliance for him, O Store of the one having not store for him, O Protector of the one having no protector for him, O Helper of the one having no helper for him, O Support of the one having no support for him, O Treasure of the one having not treasure for him!
يَا حَسَنَ الْبَلَاءِ يَا عَظِيمَ الرَّجَاءِ يَا عِزَّ الضُّعَفَاءِ يَا مُنْقِذَ الْغَرْقَى يَا مُنْجِيَ الْهَلْكَى يَا مُنْعِمُ يَا مُجْمِلُ يَا مُفْضِلُ يَا مُحْسِنُ أَنْتَ الَّذِي سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ وَ نُورُ النَّهَارِ وَ ضَوْءُ الْقَمَرِ وَ شُعَاعُ الشَّمْسِ وَ دَوِيُّ الْمَاءِ وَ حَفِيفُ الشَّجَرِ يَا اللَّهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ
O Excellent of the Trying, O Might of the hopes, O Might of the weak, O Rescuer of the drowning one, O Saviour of the destroyed, O Bestower, O Beautiful, O Gracious, O Favourer! You-azwj are the One-azwj, there prostrate to You-azwj darkness of the night and light of the day, and the illumination of the moon and rays of the sun, and the sound of water, and the rustle of the tree (leaves)! O Allah-azwj, there is no associate for You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنَا خَيْراً مِمَّا يَظُنُّونَ وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا لَا يَعْلَمُونَ وَ لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِمَا يَقُولُونَ- حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ- آمَنَّا بِهِ كُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِ رَبِّنا وَ ما يَذَّكَّرُ إِلَّا أُولُوا الْأَلْبابِ- رَبَّنا لا تُزِغْ قُلُوبَنا بَعْدَ إِذْ هَدَيْتَنا وَ هَبْ لَنا مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ.
O Allah-azwj! Make us better than what they are thinking, and Forgive for us what they are not knowing, nor Seize us for what they are saying! ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no God but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129] ‘We believe in it. It is all from the Presence of our Lord’. And none (would) mention except those with the understanding [3:7] ‘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]!’’[23]
فإن قيل قد قدمت في كتاب المضمار أن أول السنة شهر رمضان و قد ذكرت في هذا الدعاء أن أول السنة المحرم
If it is said that I have mentioned in the book ‘Al-Mizmar’ that the beginning of the year is the month of Ramazan, and here in this supplication I mentioned that the beginning of the year is Muharram.
فأقول قد قدمنا أنه يحتمل أن يكون شهر رمضان أول سنة فيما يختص بالعبادات و ترجيح الأوقات و المحرم أول سنة فيما يختص بالمعاملات و التواريخ و تدبير الناس في الحادثات الاختياريات و قد ذكرنا في أواخر خطبة هذا الجزء بعض الروايات و قد كنا ذكرنا في هذا الجزء في خطبة ما يتعلق بهذا المعنى من الروايات.
I say we have previously explained that it is possible for the Ramazan to be the beginning of the year with regard to acts of worship and prioritising times, while Muharram serves as the beginning of the year concerning transactions, historical records, and the management of people’s affairs in discretionary events. We also mentioned towards the end of the introduction of this section some narrations, and we had previously discussed in the preface to this section certain narrations related to this meaning.
3- قل، إقبال الأعمال رَوَيْنَا بِعِدَّةِ طُرُقٍ مِنْهَا إِلَى الْمُفِيدِ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ فِي كِتَابِ حَدَائِقِ الرِّيَاضِ وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِمَنْ أَمْكَنَهُ صَوْمُ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْصِمُ صَائِمَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سَيِّئَةٍ.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We are reporting by a number of sources from these to Al-Mufeed, may the Pleasure of Allah-azwj be upon him, in the book ‘Hadaaiq Al-Riyaaz; and it has been reported from Al-Sadiq-asws, he-asws said: ‘Whoever is able to fast during Muharram, it will protect his fasts from every evil deed’’.[24]
وَ ذَكَرَ يَحْيَى بْنُ حُسَيْنِ بْنِ هَارُونَ الْحُسَيْنِيُّ فِي أَمَالِيهِ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ الصَّلَاةُ فِي جَوْفِ اللَّيْلِ وَ إِنَّ أَفْضَلَ الصَّوْمِ بَعْدَ صَوْمِ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ صَوْمُ شَهْرِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي يَدْعُونَهُ الْمُحَرَّمَ.
And it is mentioned by Yahya Bin Husayn Bin Haroun Al Husayni in his (book) ‘Amaali’, by his chain to the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘The most superior Salat after the Prescribed Salat is the Salat in the middle of the night, and the most superior fast after fasts of a month of Ramazan, is fasting a month of Allah-azwj which they are calling as Al-Muharram’’.[25]
و روى المرزباني هذا الحديث عن النبي ص من طرق جماعة في المجلد السابع من كتاب الأزمنة و رواه محمد بن أبي بكر المديني عن النبي ص أيضا في كتاب دستور المذكرين.
And Al Marzabany reported this Hadeeth from the Prophet-saww from a way of a group in the seventh volume from ‘Kitab Al Azmana’, and it is reported by Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr Al-Madainy from the Prophet-saww also in ‘Kitab Dostour’, the mentioned.[26]
4- قل، إقبال الأعمال الْمُفِيدُ فِي الْحَدَائِقِ قَالَ: الْيَوْمُ الثَّالِثُ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ يَوْمٌ مُبَارَكٌ كَانَ فِيهِ خَلَاصُ يُوسُفَ ع مِنَ الْجُبِّ فَمَنْ صَامَهُ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الصَّعْبَ وَ فَرَّجَ عَنْهُ الْكَرْبَ.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – Al Mufeed in ‘Al Hadaaiq’, he said, ‘The third day of Al-Muharram is a Blessed day. During it, Yusuf-as was rescued from the well, so the one who fasts it, Allah‑azwj will Ease for him the difficulties and Relive the distress from him’’.[27]
وَ رَوَى صَاحِبُ دُسْتُورِ الْمُذَكِّرِينَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّ مَنْ صَامَ الْيَوْمَ الثَّالِثَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ اسْتُجِيبَتْ دَعْوَتُهُ.
And it is reported by author of ‘Dostour’, from the Prophet-saww: ‘The one who fasts the third day of Al-Muharram, his supplication will be Answered’’.[28]
5- قل، إقبال الأعمال فِي دُسْتُورِ الْمُذَكِّرِينَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: إِذَا رَأَيْتَ هِلَالَ الْمُحَرَّمِ فَاعْدُدْ فَإِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ مِنْ تَاسِعِهِ فَأَصْبِحْ صَائِماً
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – In (the book) ‘Dostour’, the mentioners from Ibn Abbas who said, ‘When you see the crescent of Al-Muharram, (begin) counting. When it is morning from its 9th, wake up in the morning fasting’.
فَقُلْتُ كَذَلِكَ كَانَ يَصُومُ مُحَمَّدٌ ص
I said, ‘Like that Muhammad-saww had fasted?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ.
He said, ‘Yes’’.[29] (Not a Hadeeth)
باب 89 الأعمال المتعلقة بليلة عاشوراء و يوم عاشوراء و ما يناسب ذلك من المطالب و الفوائد زائدا على الباب السابق
CHAPTER 89 – THE ACTS OF WORSHIP RELATED WITH THE NIGHT OF ASHURA AND THE DAY OF ASHURA, AND WHAT IS APPROPRIATE FOR THAT AND THE BENEFITS ADDITIONAL TO THE PREVIOUS CHAPTER
أقول: قد أوردنا ما يناسب هذا الباب في كتاب الطهارة و الصلاة و الدعاء و الصوم و المزار و أحوال مولانا الحسين صلوات الله عليه فليراجع إلى مواضعها.
I say we have referred what is appropriate to this chapter in the book of cleansing, and the Salat, and the supplication, and the fasting, and the shrine, and situation of our master Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, so refer to its place.
1 قل، إقبال الأعمال عمل ليلة عاشوراء و فضل إحيائها اعلم أن هذه الليلة أحياها مولانا الحسين صلوات الله عليه و أصحابه بالصلوات و الدعوات و قد أحاط بهم زنادقة الإسلام ليستبيحوا منهم النفوس المعظمات و ينتهكوا منهم الحرمات و يسبوا نساءهم المصونات
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – Act of worship on the night of Ashura and merit reviving it (holding vigil). Know that this night was revived by our master Al Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws, and his-asws companions, with the Salat(s) and the supplications while the atheists of Al Islam had surrounded them seeking to violate their sanctities, take their honoured lives, and capture their noble women.
فينبغي لمن أدرك هذه الليلة أن يكون مواسيا لبقايا أهل آية المباهلة و آية التطهير فيما كانوا عليه في ذلك المقام الكبير و على قدم الغضب مع الله جل جلاله و رسوله صلوات الله عليه و الموافقة لهما فيما جرت الحال عليه و يتقرب إلى الله جل جلاله بالإخلاص من موالاة أوليائه و معاداة أعدائه
It is fitting for those who witness this night to show solidarity with the remnants of the family of the Verse of Imprecation (Mubahila) and the Verse of Purification (Tat’heer), emulating their state in that momentous station. One should stand with anger for the sake of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, and His-azwj Rasool-saww, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww, aligning with them in the circumstances they endured. Let this be a means of drawing closer to Allah, the Almighty, through sincere devotion, by showing loyalty to his allies-asws and enmity towards his-asws enemies.
و أما فضل إحيائها فَقَدْ رَأَيْنَا فِي كِتَابِ دُسْتُورِ الْمُذَكِّرِينَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ أَحْيَا لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ فَكَأَنَّمَا عَبَدَ اللَّهَ عِبَادَةَ جَمِيعِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِ فِيهَا كَأَجْرِ سَبْعِينَ سَنَةً.
As for the virtue of reviving it, we have seen in the book ‘Dostour’, mentioning by his chain from the Prophet-saww. He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who revives the night of Ashura, it would be as if he has worshipped Allah-azwj worship of entirety of the Angels, and the Recompense of a worker in it is like Recompense of sixty years’.[30]
و أما تعيين الأعمال من صلاة أو ابتهال فمن ذلك الرواية عن النبي ص وَجَدْنَاهَا عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمَدِينِيِّ الْحَافِظِ مِنْ كِتَابِ دُسْتُورِ الْمُذَكِّرِينَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ الْمُتَّصِلِ عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَقَرَأَ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَ آيَةِ الْكُرْسِيِّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا سَلَّمَ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ بَنَى اللَّهُ تَعَالَى لَهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ
And as for specifying the acts of worship, whether from a Salat or pleading, from that is the report from the Prophet-saww we found, from Muhammad Bin Abu Bakr Al Madani, from the book ‘Dostour Al Muzakkareen’, by his chain connecting from Wahb Bin Munbah, from Ibn Abbas who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said; ‘One who prays four units Salat on the night of Ashura from end of the night, reading in every unit Surah Al Fatiha, and Ayat Al Kursi ten times, and Surah Al Tawheed ten times, and Surah Al Falaq ten times, and Surah Al Naas ten times, when he has performed Salaam he reads Surah Al Tawheed one hundred times, Allah-azwj will Build for him in the Paradise –
أَلْفِ أَلْفِ مَدِينَةٍ مِنْ نُورٍ فِي كُلِّ مَدِينَةٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ قَصْرٍ فِي كُلِّ قَصْرٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ بَيْتٍ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ سَرِيرٍ فِي كُلِّ سَرِيرٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ فِرَاشٍ فِي كُلِّ فِرَاشٍ زَوْجَةٌ مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ فِي كُلِّ بَيْتٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ مَائِدَةٍ فِي كُلِّ مَائِدَةٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ قَصْعَةٍ فِي كُلِّ قَصْعَةٍ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ لَوْنٍ وَ مِنَ الْخَدَمِ عَلَى كُلِّ مَائِدَةٍ أَلْفُ أَلْفِ وَصِيفٍ وَ مِائَةُ أَلْفِ أَلْفِ وَصِيفَةٍ عَلَى عَاتِقِ كُلِّ وَصِيفٍ وَ وَصِيفَةٍ مِنْدِيلٌ
A million cities of light, and in every city a million castles, in every castle a million rooms, and in every room a million thrones, in every throne a million beds, in every bed a spouse from the Maiden Houries, and in every house there will be a million tables, in every table a million baskets, in every basked one hundred million types (of meals), and from the servants there will be upon every table a million butlers, and one hundred million waitresses. Upon a shoulder of every butler and waitress will be a towel’.
قَالَ وَهْبُ بْنُ مُنَبِّهٍ صَمَتَ أُذُنَايَ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا مِنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ.
Wahb Bin Munabbah said, ‘May my ears be deafened if I have not heard this from Ibn Abbas’’.[31]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ أَيْضاً فِي كِتَابِ دُسْتُورِ الْمُذَكِّرِينَ بِإِسْنَادِهِ الْمُتَّصِلِ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ بِالْحَمْدِ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ يُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً
And from that is what we are reporting as well in the book ‘Dostour Al Muzakkireen’, by his chain connected from Abu Amama who said,
‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays one hundred units of Salat on the night of Ashura with Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Tawheed three times, and performs Salaat between every two units, when he is from entirety of his Salat, he should say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent’, seventy times’.
قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ وَ النِّسَاءِ مَلَأَ اللَّهُ قَبْرَهُ إِذَا مَاتَ مِسْكاً وَ عَنْبَراً وَ يَدْخُلُ إِلَى قَبْرِهِ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ نُورٌ إِلَى أَنْ يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ وَ تُوضَعَ لَهُ مَائِدَةٌ يَتَنَاعَمُ بِهِ أَهْلُ الدُّنْيَا مُنْذُ يَوْمَ خُلِقَ إِلَى أَنْ يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ وَ لَيْسَ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ إِذَا وُضِعَ فِي قَبْرِهِ إِلَّا يَتَسَاقَطُ شُعُورُهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ إِلَّا أَبْيَضَ الشَّعْرِ إِلَّا مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ
He said, ‘Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘One who prays this Salat, from the men and the women, when he dies Allah-azwj will Fill his grave with musk and ambergris, and a light will enter into his grave every day up to blowing of the Trumpet, and a table would be placed for him the people of the world had enjoyed with since the day it was created up to blowing of the Trumpet, and there isn’t anyone from the men, when he is placed in his grave, their hair will fall off except the one who prays this Salat, and there isn’t anyone emerging from his grave except he would be of white hair except the one who prays this Salat!
وَ الَّذِي بَعَثَنِي بِالْحَقِّ إِنَّهُ مَنْ صَلَّى هَذِهِ الصَّلَاةَ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فِي قَبْرِهِ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْعَرُوسِ فِي حِجْلَتِهِ إِلَى أَنْ يُنْفَخَ فِي الصُّورِ- فَإِذَا نُفِخَ فِي الصُّورِ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ قَبْرِهِ كَهَيْئَتِهِ إِلَى الْجِنَانِ كَمَا يُزَفُّ الْعَرُوسُ إِلَى زَوْجِهَا.
By the One Who Sent me with the truth! The one who prays this Salat, Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic will Look at him in his grave at the status of the bride in her chamber up to blowing of the Trumpet. When the Trumpet is blow into, he will emerge from his grave and his appearance to the Garden would be like what the bride getting escorted to her husband!’’[32]
ثم ذكر تمام الحديث في تعظيم يوم عاشوراء و عمل الخير فيه و عن قصدنا ما يتعلق بليلة العاشوراء و قد ذكرنا فيما تقدم من اعتمادنا في مثل هذه الأحاديث على مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ مَنْ بَلَغَهُ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَعَمِلَ كَانَ لَهُ ذَلِكَ وَ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنِ الْأَمْرُ كَمَا بَلَغَهُ.
Then he mentioned the complete Hadeeth in reverence of the day of Ashura, and the acts of goodness during it, and about our aim what is related with the night of Ashura, and we have mentioned among what has preceded from our relying in the likes of this Ahadeeth upon what we are reporting from Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The one whom reaches him anything from the Hadeeth, so he acts, that would be for him, and even if the matter does not happen to be just as it has reached him’’.[33]
وَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ فِي بَعْضِ كُتُبِ الْعِبَادَاتِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ صَلَّى مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ يُسَلِّمُ بَيْنَ كُلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ جَمِيعِ صَلَاتِهِ قَالَ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ اسْتَغْفَرَ اللَّهَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً.
And from that is what we are reporting in one of the books of worship, from the Prophet-saww, he-saww said: ‘One who prays one hundred units Salat on the night of Ashura, reading in every unit Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Tawheed three times, and he performs Salaat between every two units, so when he is free from his entire Salat, he should say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent, and I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’ – seventy times’’.[34]
و ذكر من الثواب و الأقبال ما يبلغه كثير من الآمال و الأعمال و يطول به شرح المقال
And he mentioned of the Rewards and Blessings what fulfils many hopes and deeds, extending beyond what words can fully describe.
و من الصلوات يوم عاشوراء في رواية أخرى عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ص أَنَّهُ قَالَ: يُصَلِّي لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ خمسون [خَمْسِينَ] مَرَّةً فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ مِنَ الرَّابِعَةِ فَأَكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ الصَّلَاةَ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَ اللَّعْنَ لِأَعْدَائِهِمْ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ.
And from the Salat(s) on the day of Ashura, in another report from the Prophet-saww, he-saww said: ‘He should pray on the night of Ashura four units of Salat, in each unit Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Tawheed fifty-one times. When he has performed Salaat from the fourth unity, frequent from Zikr of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and the Salawaat upon His-azwj Rasool-saww and curse their-asws enemies, whatever you are capable of’.[35]
و من الصلوات و الدعوات في ليلة عاشوراء ما ذكره صاحب المختصر من المنتخب فقال ما هذا لفظه الدعاء في ليلة عاشوراء أن يصلي عشر ركعات يقرأ في كل ركعة فاتحة الكتاب مرة واحدة و قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مائة مرة
And from the Salat(s) and the supplication during the night of Ashura is what is mentioned by the author of ‘Al Mukhtasar Min Al Muntakhab’. He said what is this wording, ‘The supplication during the night of Ashura is that he should pray ten units Salat, reading in every unit Surah Al Fatiha once, and Surah Al Tawheed one hundred times’.
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ مِائَةَ رَكْعَةٍ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ الْحَمْدَ مَرَّةً وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْهُنَّ وَ سَلَّمْتَ تَقُولُ- سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
And it is reported that you should pray one hundred units Salat, reading in each unit Surah Al Hamd once, and Surah Al Tawheed three times. When you are free from these and has performed Salaam, you should say, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Magnificent’ – one hundred times’’.[36]
وَ رُوِيَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
And it is reported – ‘Seventy times, and ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj’, a hundred times’.[37]
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
And it is reported – ‘Seventy times, and ‘May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww’ – a hundred times’.[38]
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً.
And it is reported – ‘Seventy times’.[39]
و تقول دعاء فيه فضل عظيم هو ثابت في كتاب الرياض اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ
And you should say during it a supplication of might merits. It is affirmed in ‘Kitab Al Riyaz’ –
‘O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent! O Allah-azwj, O Beneficent!

Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and Your-azwj trustee upon Your-azwj Revelation, and Forgive for me entirety of my sins, and Fulfil for me entirety of my needs, and Make me reach my wishes, and Facilitate for me my love, and Ease for me my purpose, and Make me arrive to my search quickly, hastily, and Provide me vast sustenance, and Relieve from me my worries, and my sadness, and my distress, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[40]
2- قل، إقبال الأعمال عَنْ شَيْخِ الطَّائِفَةِ فِيمَا رَوَاهُ عَنْ جَابِرٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: مَنْ بَاتَ عِنْدَ قَبْرِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع لَيْلَةَ عَاشُورَاءَ لَقِيَ اللَّهَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مُلَطَّخاً بِدَمِهِ وَ كَأَنَّمَا قُتِلَ مَعَهُ فِي عَرْصَةِ كَرْبَلَاءَ.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – From Sheykh Al Taaifa, among what he reported from Jabir Al Jufy,
‘From Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘One who dies by the grave of Al Husayn-asws on the night of Ashura will meet Allah-azwj on the Day of Qiyamah stained in his-asws blood, and it is as if he had been along with him-asws in the plains of Karbala’’.[41]
وَ قَالَ شَيْخُنَا الْمُفِيدُ فِي كِتَابِ التَّوَارِيخِ الشَّرْعِيَّةِ وَ رُوِيَ أَنَّ مَنْ زَارَهُ ع وَ بَاتَ عِنْدَهُ فِي لَيْلَةِ عَاشُورَاءَ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ حَشَرَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى مُلَطَّخاً بِدَمِ الْحُسَيْنِ ع فِي جُمْلَةِ الشُّهَدَاءِ مَعَهُ ع.
And our Sheykh Al-Mufeed said in ‘Kitab Al Tawareekh Al-Sharaie’, and he reported that the one visits him (Al-Husayn-asws), spending the night in his-asws presence during the night of Ashura until morning, Allah-azwj the Exalted will Resurrect him stained with the blood of Al-Husayn-asws among all the ones martyred with him-asws’’.[42]
3 قل، إقبال الأعمال اعلم أن الروايات وردت متظافرات في تحريم صوم يوم عاشوراء على وجه الشماتات و ذلك معلوم بين أهل الديانات و وردت أخبار كثيرة بالحث على صيامه
(The book) Iqbal Al Amaal’ – ‘Know that the reports have arrived numerously regarding the prohibition of fasting on the day of Ashura based upon the aspect of being gloated at, and that is known between the people of religions, and many Ahadeeth have arrived with urging upon fasting it’.
مِنْهَا مَا رَوَيْنَاهُ بِإِسْنَادِنَا عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ فَضَّالٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: اسْتَوَتِ السَّفِينَةُ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ فَأَمَرَ نُوحٌ مَنْ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْإِنْسِ أَنْ يَصُومُوا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ.
From these is was we are reporting by our chain from Ali Bin Fazzal by his chain from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘The ship (of Noah-as) stabilised on the day of Ashura upon the (mount) Al Judy. Noah-as instructed the ones with him-as, from the Jinn and the humans, that they should fast that day’’.[43]
وَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع أَ تَدْرُونَ مَا هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي تَابَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ عَلَى آدَمَ ع وَ حَوَّاءَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي فَلَقَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ الْبَحْرَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَأَغْرَقَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَ مَنْ مَعَهُ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي غَلَبَ فِيهِ مُوسَى فِرْعَوْنَ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ع وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي تَابَ اللَّهُ فِيهِ عَلَى قَوْمِ يُونُسَ وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي وُلِدَ فِيهِ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ع وَ هَذَا الْيَوْمُ يَقُومُ فِيهِ الْقَائِمُ ع.
And Abu Ja’far-asws said: ‘Do you know what is this day in which Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic Turned to Adam-as and Hawwa-as? This is the day in which Allah-azwj Split the sea for the children of Israel, so Pharaoh-la and the ones with him-la were drowned, and this is the day in which Musa-as prevailed over Pharaoh-la, and this is the day in which Ibrahim-as was born, and this is the day in which Allah-azwj Turned to the people of Yunus-as, and this is the day in which Isa Ibn Maryam-as was born, and this is the day in which Al Qaim-ajfj will rise!’’[44]
وَ مِنْهَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى هَارُونَ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ عَنْ مَسْعَدَةَ بْنِ صَدَقَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ عَلِيّاً ع قَالَ: صُومُوا مِنْ عَاشُورَاءَ التَّاسِعَ وَ الْعَاشِرَ فَإِنَّهُ يُكَفِّرُ ذُنُوبَ سَنَةٍ.
And from these is by our chain to Haroun Bin Muslim, from Mas’ada Bin Sadaqa, from Abu Abdullah-asws, from his-asws father-asws: ‘Ali-asws said: ‘Fast from Ashura (Muharram), the 9th and the 10th for it atones for sins of a year’’.[45]
أَقُولُ وَ رَأَيْتُ مِنْ طَرِيقِهِمْ فِي الْمُجَلَّدِ الثَّالِثِ مِنْ تَارِيخِ النَّيْشَابُورِيِّ لِلْحَاكِمِ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ نَصْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّيْشَابُورِيِّ بِإِسْنَادِهِ إِلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ص لَمْ يَصُمْ عَاشُورَاءَ.
I say, and I have seen from their paths (chains of attributions) in the 2rd volume of ‘Tareekh Al Neshapour’ of Al Hakim in a translation of Nasr Bin Abdullah Al Neshapuri by his chain to Saeed Bin Al Musayyab, from Sa’ad that the Prophet-as did not fast on Ashura’’.[46]
و أما الدعاء فيه فقد ذكر صاحب كتاب المختصر من المنتخب فقال ما هذا لفظه تصبح يوم عاشوراء صائما و تقول-
And as for the supplication during it, it has been mentioned by author of the book ‘Al Mukhtasar Min Al Muntakhab’. He said what is this wording, ‘Wake up in the morning of Ashura fasting and you should say –
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ آناءَ اللَّيْلِ وَ أَطْرافَ النَّهارِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ بِالْغُدُوِّ وَ الْآصالِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ-
‘Glory be to Allah-azwj, and the Praise is for Allah-azwj, and there is no god except Allah-azwj, and Allah-azwj is Greatest, and there is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Exalted, the Magnificent! Glory be to Allah-azwj in hours of the night and ends of the day! Glory be to Allah-azwj in the morning and the evening! Glory be to Allah-azwj when it is evening and when it is morning!
وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَشِيًّا وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ- يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ يُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ يُحْيِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها وَ كَذلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ- وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ-
And for Him is the Praise in the skies and the earth, and at sunset and when you come up to midday [30:18] He Extracts the living from the dead and Extracts the dead from the living, and Revives the earth after its death, and like that you would be coming out [30:19] Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Messengers [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182].
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً عَدَدَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ مِلْءَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ زِنَةَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ أَضْعَافَ ذَلِكَ مُضَاعَفَةً أَبَداً سَرْمَداً كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِعَظَمَتِهِ
And say: ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111] the number of all things, and filling of all things, and weight of all things, and a multiple of that multiplied forever, continuously just as is befitting for His-azwj Magnificence!
سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمُلْكِ وَ الْمَلَكُوتِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْعِزَّةِ وَ الْجَبَرُوتِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ سُبْحَانَ الْقَائِمِ الدَّائِمِ سُبْحَانَ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ سُبْحَانَ الْعَلِيِّ الْأَعْلَى سُبْحَانَهُ وَ تَعَالَى سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ سُبُّوحٌ قُدُّوسٌ رَبُّ الْمَلَائِكَةِ وَ الرُّوحِ
Glory be to Allah-azwj Possessor of the Kingdom and the Domains! Glory be to Possessor of the Might and the Force! Glory be to the Living Who does not die! Glory be to the King, the Holy! Glory be to the Established, the Permanent! Glory be to the Living the Eternal! Glory be to the Exalted, Glorious and Exalted! Glory be to Allah-azwj, Glorious, Holy, Lord-azwj of the Angels and the Spirit!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ فِي مِنَّةٍ وَ نِعْمَةٍ وَ عَافِيَةٍ فَأَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ نِعْمَتَكَ يَا اللَّهُ وَ مَنَّكَ وَ عَافِيَتَكَ وَ ارْزُقْنِي شُكْرَكَ
O Allah-azwj! I have come to a morning being in Conferment and bounties and well-being, so Complete Your-azwj bounties upon me, O Allah-azwj, and Your-azwj Conferment, and Your-azwj well-being, and Grace me to thank You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ اهْتَدَيْتُ وَ بِفَضْلِكَ اسْتَغْنَيْتُ وَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ أَصْبَحْتُ وَ أَمْسَيْتُ أَصْبَحْتُ أُشْهِدُكَ وَ كَفَى بِكَ شَهِيداً
O Allah-azwj! By the Noor of Your-azwj Face I have been guided, and by Your-azwj Grace I have become self-sufficient, and with Your-azwj bounties I come to morning and evening! I have come to a morning keeping You-azwj as Witness and suffice with You-azwj as Witness!
وَ أُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ حَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَ جَمِيعَ خَلْقِكَ وَ سَمَاءَكَ وَ أَرْضَكَ وَ جَنَّتَكَ وَ نَارَكَ بِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَ أَنَّ مَا دُونَ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ أَرْضِكَ مِنْ مَعْبُودٍ دُونَكَ بَاطِلٌ مُضْمَحِلٌّ وَ أَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُكَ وَ رَسُولُكَ وَ أَنَّ السَّاعَةَ آتِيَةٌ لا رَيْبَ فِيها وَ أَنَّكَ بَاعِثٌ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ
And I keep Your-azwj Angels as witnesses, and bearers of Your-azwj Throne, and entirety of Your-azwj creatures, and Your-azwj sky and Your-azwj earth, and Your-azwj Paradise and Your-azwj Hellfire that surely You-azwj are Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj Alone, there is no associate for You-azwj, and that whatever deity there is below Your-azwj Throne up to the bottom of Your-azwj earth besides You-azwj, is false, vanishing, and I testify that Muhammad-saww is Your-azwj servant and Your-azwj Rasool-saww, and that the Hour is coming, there is no doubt in it, and You-azwj will be Resurrecting ones in the graves!
اللَّهُمَّ فَاكْتُبْ شَهَادَتِي هَذِهِ عِنْدَكَ حَتَّى أَلْقَاكَ بِهَا وَ قَدْ رَضِيتَ عَنِّي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Write this testimony of mine in Your-azwj Presence until I meet You-azwj with it and You-azwj would be Pleased with me, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْداً تَضَعُ لَكَ السَّمَاءُ كَنَفَيْهَا وَ تُسَبِّحُ لَكَ الْأَرْضُ وَ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا حَمْداً يَصْعَدُ وَ لَا يَنْفَدُ حَمْداً يَزِيدُ وَ لَا يَبِيدُ حَمْداً سَرْمَداً لَا انْقِطَاعَ لَهُ وَ لَا نَفَادَ حَمْداً يَصْعَدُ أَوَّلُهُ وَ لَا يَفْنَى آخِرُهُ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, such Praise the sky humbles its shoulder to You-azwj, and the earth and the ones upon it glorify to You-azwj with Praise, and Praise not ceasing to increase nor terminating, continuous Praise having not termination for it nor depletion, Praise its beginning ascends and its end does not perish!

There is no god except Allah-azwj Alone, there is no associate for Him-azwj! For Him-azwj is the Kingdom and for Him-azwj is the Praise. He-azwj Causes to live and Causes to die, and He-azwj is Able upon all things!’
تَقُولُ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا اللَّهُ يَا اللَّهُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحْمَانُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَحِيمُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا حَنَّانُ يَا مَنَّانُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ آمِينَ آمِينَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ- بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ
You should say, ‘I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj!’ – ten times; ‘O Allah-azwj! O Allah-azwj!’ – ten times; ‘O Beneficent! O Beneficent!’ – ten times; ‘O Merciful! O Merciful!’ – ten times; O Affectionate! O Bestower!’ – ten times; ‘O there is no god except You-azwj!’ – ten times; and ‘There is neither might nor strength except with Allah-azwj the Magnificent!’ – ten times; ‘Ameen! Ameen!’ – ten times; ‘In the Name of Allah-azwj the Beneficent, the Merciful!’ – ten times; and ‘May Allah-azwj Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and abundant Greetings!’ – ten times.
ثُمَّ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كَرْبٍ وَ رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ شَدِيدَةٍ وَ أَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِي ثِقَةٌ وَ عُدَّةٌ
Then you should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are my Trust in every distress and my Hope in every adversity, and You-azwj are for a Trust for me in every matter befalling with me and a Weapon!
كَمْ مِنْ كَرْبٍ يَضْعُفُ فِيهِ الْفُؤَادُ وَ تَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ وَ يَخْذُلُ فِيهِ الْقَرِيبُ وَ يَشْمَتُ فِيهِ الْعَدُوُّ وَ أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ وَ شَكَوْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ رَغْبَةً فِيهِ إِلَيْكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَ كَشَفْتَهُ وَ كَفَيْتَهُ فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَ صَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَسَنَةٍ وَ مُنْتَهَى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلًا
How may a distress the heart was weak in it, and the means are lacking in it, and the near ones abandon during it, and the enemy gloats in it, and I have descended it with You-azwj and complained of it to You-azwj, desiring in it to You-azwj from the ones besides You-azwj! So Relieve it, and Remove it, and Suffice it, for You-azwj are Guardian of every bounty, and Companion of every good deed, and Ultimate of every desire! For You-azwj is abundant Praise and for You-azwj is the Gracious Conferment!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ سَهِّلْ لِي مِحْنَتِي وَ يَسِّرْ لِي إِرَادَتِي وَ بَلِّغْنِي أُمْنِيَّتِي وَ أَوْصِلْنِي إِلَى بُغْيَتِي سَرِيعاً عَاجِلًا وَ اقْضِ عَنِّي دَيْنِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon the Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Facilitate for me my Test, and Ease for me my wants, and Make me reach my wishes, and Make me arrive to my search swiftly, hastily, and Pay off my debts on my behalf, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[47]
4- قل، إقبال الأعمال رُوِيَ عَنِ الصَّادِقِ ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ أَلْفَ مَرَّةٍ- سُورَةَ الْإِخْلَاصِ نَظَرَ الرَّحْمَنُ إِلَيْهِ وَ مَنْ نَظَرَ الرَّحْمَنُ إِلَيْهِ لَمْ يُعَذِّبْهُ أَبَداً.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – ‘It is reported from Al Sadiq-asws having said: ‘One who reads Surah Al Ikhlaas a thousand times on the day of Ashura, the Beneficent will Look at (Consider) him, and one the Beneficent Looks at, He-azwj will not Punish him, ever!’’[48]
قال السيد ره لعل معنى نظر الرحمن إليه أراد به نظر الرحمة للعبد و الرضا عنه و الشفقة عليه.
Note – And the Seyyid said, ‘Perhaps the meaning of ‘The Beneficent will Look at him’, the intended is the Look of Mercy for the servant, and being Pleased with him, and the Compassion upon him’.
5- قل، إقبال الأعمال رَوَيْنَا بِإِسْنَادِنَا إِلَى مَوْلَانَا عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى الرِّضَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: مَنْ تَرَكَ السَّعْيَ فِي حَوَائِجِهِ يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ قَضَى اللَّهُ لَهُ حَوَائِجَ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ مَنْ كَانَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمَ مُصِيبَتِهِ وَ حُزْنِهِ وَ بُكَائِهِ جَعَلَ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَوْمَ فَرَحِهِ وَ سُرُورِهِ وَ قَرَّتْ بِنَا فِي الْجَنَّةِ عَيْنُهُ
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We are reporting by our chain to our master Ali-asws Bin Musa Al-Reza-asws, he-asws said: ‘One who neglects the striving regarding his needs on the day of Ashura, Allah-azwj will Fulfil for him needs of the world and the Hereafter, and one for whom the day of Ashura was a day of his difficulty (calamity), and his grief, and his crying, Allah-azwj will Make the Day of Qiyamah a day of his happiness and cheerfulness, and his eyes will be delighted by us-asws in the Paradise!
وَ مَنْ سَمَّى يَوْمَ عَاشُورَاءَ يَوْمَ بَرَكَةٍ وَ ادَّخَرَ لِمَنْزِلِهِ فِيهِ شَيْئاً لَمْ يُبَارَكْ لَهُ فِيمَا ادَّخَرَ وَ حُشِرَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَعَ يَزِيدَ وَ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عُمَرَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ لَعَنَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي أَسْفَلِ دَرْكٍ مِنَ النَّارِ.
And one who names the day of Ashura as a day of Blessings, and stores something for his dwelling during it, there will be no Blessings for him regarding what he had stored, and he will be Gathered on the Day of Qiyamah with Yazeed-la, and Ubeydullah Bin Ziyad-la, and Umar Bin Sa’ad-la. May Allah-azwj Curse them in the lowest level of the Hellfire!’’[49]
قال السيد ره و إذا عزمت على ما لا بد منه من الطعام و الشراب بعد انقضاء وقت المصاب فقل ما معناه اللهم إنك قلت وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً بَلْ أَحْياءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ فالحسين صلوات الله عليه و على أصحابه عندك الآن يأكلون و يشربون فنحن في هذا الطعام و الشراب بهم مقتدون.
The Seyyid said, ‘And when you have determine upon what there is no escape from it, from the food and the drink after passing of the time of mourning, then say what its meaning is, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj Said: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169]. Thus, Al-Husayn-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and upon his-asws companions, are in Your-azwj Presence right now, eating and drinking, so we are with them in this food and drink, as followers!’’[50]
قل، إقبال الأعمال فإذا كان أواخر نهار يوم عاشوراء فقم قائما و سلم على رسول الله ص و على مولانا أمير المؤمنين ع و على مولانا الحسن بن علي و على سيدتنا فاطمة الزهراء و عترتهم الطاهرين صلوات الله عليهم أجمعين و عزهم على هذه المصائب بقلب محزون و عين باكية و لسان ذليل بالنوائب
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al Amaal’ – ‘Whenever it would be end of the day of Ashura, arise standing and greet unto Rasool-Allah-azwj and upon our master Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and our master Al-Hassan-asws Bin Ali-asws, and upon our Chieftess Fatima Al-Zahra-asws and their-asws Pure offspring. May the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon them-asws all!’, and console them upon these calamities with a grieving heart, and crying eye, and humble tongue for the misfortunes!
ثم اعتذر إلى الله جل جلاله و إليهم من التقصير فيما يجب لهم عليك و أن يعفو عما لم تعمله مما كنت تعمله مع من يعز عليك فإنه من المستبعد أن يقام في هذا المصاب الهائل بقدر خطبة النازل
Then apologise to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic, and to them-asws of the deficiencies regarding what is obligated for them upon you, and excuse from what You-azwj did not do from what you have tended to do with the one who is dear to You-azwj, for it is from the remoteness that the one can stand in this tremendous calamity in accordance with the what has befallen!
و اجعل كلما يكون من الحركات و السكنات في الجزع عليه خدمة لله جل جلاله و متقربا بذلك إليه و اسأل من الله جل جلاله و منهم ما يريدون أن يسأله منهم و ما أنت محتاج إليه و إن لم تعرفه و لم تبلغ أملك إليه فإنهم أحق أن يعطوك على قدر إمكانهم و يعاملوك بما يقصر عنه سؤالك من إحسانهم
And make all what happens from the movement and the stillness in the panic upon him-asws as service to Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, and as drawing closer with that to Him-azwj, and ask from Allah-azwj, Majestic is His Majesty and from them-asws whatever you want to ask from them-asws, and what you are needy to, and even if you don’t know it and your wishes do not reach it, for they-asws are most rightful of granting you in accordance to their-asws abilities dealing with you with whatever you are deficient from your request, our of their-asws favours.
و لعل قائلا يقول هلا كان الحزن الذي يعملونه من أول عشر المحرم قبل وقوع القتل يعملونه بعد يوم عاشوراء لأجل تجدد القتل
And perhaps a speaker would say, ‘Why is the mourning they observe at the beginning of the ten days of Muharram, before the killing occurred, not observed after the day of Ashura to mark the renewal of the tragedy of the killing?’
فأقول إن أول العشر كان الحزن خوفا مما جرت الحال عليه فلما قتل صلوات الله عليه و آله دخل تحت قول الله تعالى وَ لا تَحْسَبَنَّ الَّذِينَ قُتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَمْواتاً بَلْ أَحْياءٌ عِنْدَ رَبِّهِمْ يُرْزَقُونَ- فَرِحِينَ بِما آتاهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ وَ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِالَّذِينَ لَمْ يَلْحَقُوا بِهِمْ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ أَلَّا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ
I say that the first ten days was the grief of fear from what situation had occurred upon him‑asws. When he-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-asws and his-asws Progeny-asws, it enters under the Words of Allah-azwj the Exalted: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169] Rejoicing in what Allah has Given them from His Grace and they are receiving glad tidings of those whom have yet to join them from the ones they left behind. There would neither be fear upon them nor would they be grieving [3:170].
فلما صاروا فرحين بسعادة الشهادة وجب المشاركة لهم في السرور بعد القتل لنظفر معهم بالسعادة
When they became rejoicing with the good fortune of martyrdom, it obligates the participation in their joy after the killing so we will be successful with them-asws with the good fortune.
فإن قيل فعلام تجددون قراءة المقتل و الحزن كل عام
If it is said, ‘Why are you renewing reading the killing (Maqtal) and the grief every year?’
فأقول لأن قراءته هو عوض قصة القتل على عدل الله جل جلاله ليأخذ بثأره كما وعد من العدل و أما تجدد الحزن كل عشر و الشهداء صاروا مسرورين فلأنه مواساة لهم في أيام العشر حيث كانوا فيها ممتحنين ففي كل سنة ينبغي لأهل الوفاء أن يكونوا وقت الحزن محزونين و وقت السرور مسرورين.
I say, because Its recitation serves as a substitute for the story of the killing, as an appeal to the justice of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, to Avenge as He-azwj has Promised in His-azwj Justice. As for the renewal of mourning every ten days, despite the martyrs now being in a state of joy, it is because it represents solidarity with them during those ten days when they were tested. Therefore, each year, it is fitting for people of loyalty to share in their sorrow during times of grief and in their joy during times of happiness’.[51]

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – By our chain to our Sheykh Al-Mufeed, may the Pleasure of Allah‑azwj be upon him, in the book ‘Hadaaiq Al-Riyaaz’, said, ‘The night of the 21st of Al-Muharram, and it was the night of Thursday the year 2 from the Hijrah, (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww was escorted to the house of Amir Al-Momineen-asws. It is recommended to fast it thanking Allah-azwj the Exalted due to what He-azwj Provided of the gathering of His-azwj Divine Authorities and His-azwj Elites’’.[52]

1- قل، إقبال الأعمال ذَكَرَ صَاحِبُ كِتَابِ الْمُنْتَخَبِ تَقُولُ عِنْدَ اسْتِهْلَالِ شَهْرِ صَفَرٍ اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْعَلِيمُ الْخَالِقُ الرَّازِقُ وَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْقَادِرُ الْمُقْتَدِرُ الْقَادِرُ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تُعَرِّفَنَا بَرَكَةَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ يُمْنَهُ وَ تَرْزُقَنَا خَيْرَهُ وَ تَصْرِفَ عَنَّا شَرَّهُ وَ تَجْعَلَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – It is mentioned by author of the book ‘Al-Muntakhab’ – ‘You should say at the crescent of a month of Safar, ‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are Allah-azwj the All-Knowing, the Creator, the Provider, and You-azwj are Allah-azwj the Able, the Powerful, the Able! I ask You-azwj to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon the Progeny-asws of Muhammad, and to Introduce us to Blessings of this month, and its Develop it, and Provide us its goodness, and Turn its evil away from us, and Make us in it from the successful ones, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي أَكْثَرَ الْعَالَمِينَ قَدْراً وَ أَبْسَطَهُمْ عِلْماً وَ أَعَزَّهُمُ عِنْدَكَ مَقَاماً وَ أَكْرَمَهُمُ لَدَيْكَ جَاهاً كَمَا خَلَقْتَ آدَمَ ع مِنْ تُرَابٍ وَ نَفَخْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوْحِكَ وَ أَسْجَدْتَ لَهُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَ عَلَّمْتَهُ الْأَسْمَاءَ كُلَّهَا وَ جَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيفَةً فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَخَّرْتَ لَهُ مَا فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً مِنْكَ وَ كَرَّمْتَ ذُرِّيَّتَهُ وَ فَضَّلْتَهُمْ عَلَى الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Make me of the most worth of the worlds, and their most extensive in knowledge, and their dearest one of position in Your-azwj Presence, and their most honourable of honour with You-azwj, just as You-azwj Created Adam-as from soil and Blew into him-as from Your-azwj Spirit, and Made Your-azwj Angels prostrate to him-as, and Taught him-saww the names, all of them, and Made him a caliph in Your-azwj earth, and Subdue to him-as whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth altogether from You-azwj, and Honoured his-as offspring and Merited them upon the worlds!
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ مِنْكَ النَّعْمَاءُ وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ دَائِماً يَا لَطِيفاً بِعِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا سَمِيعَ الدُّعَاءِ ارْحَمْ وَ اسْتَجِبْ فَإِنَّكَ تَعْلَمُ وَ لَا أَعْلَمُ وَ تَقْدِرُ وَ لَا أَقْدِرُ وَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ فَاجْعَلْ قَلْبِي وَ عَزْمِي وَ هِمَّتِي وَفْقَ مَشِيَّتِكَ وَ أَسِيرَ أَمْرِكَ
O Allah-azwj! For You-azwj is the Praise, and from are the bounties, and for You-azwj is the thanks, constantly, O Gentle with His-azwj believing servants! O Hearer of the supplication, Mercy and Respond, for You-azwj Know and I don’t know, and You-azwj are Able and I am not able, and You‑azwj are Knower of the unseen! Make my heart, and my determination, and my resolve be compatible to Your-azwj Desire and observe Your-azwj Command!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَكَ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِكَ وَ لَا أَقْدِرُ أَنْ لَا أَسْأَلَكَ بَعْدَ إِذْنِكَ خَوْفاً مِنْ إِعْرَاضِكَ وَ غَضَبِكَ فَكُنْ حَسْبِي يَا مَنْ هُوَ الْحَسْبُ وَ الْوَكِيلُ وَ النَّصِيرُ
O Allah-azwj! I am not Able to ask You-azwj except with Your-azwj Permission, nor am I able to ask You-azwj after Your-azwj Permission out of fear from Your-azwj Objection and Your-azwj Anger. So be my Sufficiency, O the One-azwj Who is the Sufficient, and the Disposer, and the Persistent Helper!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىمُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَلَائِكَتَكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon the Progeny-asws of Muhammad‑saww, and upon entirety of Your-azwj Angels of Proximity, and Your-azwj Messenger Prophets-as, and Your-azwj righteous servant, O most Merciful of the merciful ones!
يَا جَالِيَ الْأَحْزَانِ يَا مُوَسِّعَ الضِّيقِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِخَلْقِهِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ يَا فَاطِرَ تِلْكَ الْأَنْفُسِ أَنْفُساً وَ مُلْهِمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَ التَّقْوَى
O Remover of sorrows, O Expander of the narrowness, O the One-azwj Who is the Foremost with His-azwj creatures than their selves, and O Originator of those as souls, and their Inspirer of their immoralities and the piety!
نَزَلَ بِي يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ هَمٌّ ضِقْتُ بِهِ ذَرْعاً وَ صَدْراً حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَرَضَتْ فِتْنَةٌ يَا اللَّهُ وَ بِذِكْرِكَ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قَلِّبْ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْهُمُومِ إِلَى الرَّوْحِ وَ الدَّعَةِ وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ بِتَرْكِكَ مَا بِي مِنَ الْهُمُومِ إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ مُتَضَرِّعٌ
There has befallen with me, O Reliever of the worries, a worry so burdensome that it has constrained my patience and chest until I feared that a trial might have presented, and by Your-azwj Zikr the hearts are reassured! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Turn my heart away from the worries to the comfort and the happiness, and do not Pre-occupy me from Your-azwj Zikr by Leaving me worried. I am beseeching to You-azwj!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُوصَفُ إِلَّا بِالْمَعْنَى بِكِتْمَانِكَ فِي غُيُوبِكَ ذِي النُّورِ أَنْ تُجَلِّيَ بِحَقِّهِ أَحْزَانِي وَ تَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي بِكُشُوطِ الْهَمِّ يَا كَرِيمُ.
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Name which cannot be described except with the meaning of Your‑azwj Words in Your-azwj unseen, O Possessor of light, to Dispel my sorrows through its truth and to expand my chest by removing worry, O Benevolent!’’[53]

1- قل، إقبال الأعمال وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ الْمُنْتَخَبِ الدُّعَاءَ فِي غُرَّةِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ يَا ذَا الطَّوْلِ وَ الْقُوَّةِ وَ الْحَوْلِ وَ الْعِزَّةِ
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We found in the book ‘Al-Muntakhab’, the supplication in the beginning of Rabbi Al-Awwal. You should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! There is no god except You-azwj, O Possessor of the Leniency and the Strength, and the Mighty and the Honour!
سُبْحَانَكَ مَا أَعْظَمَ وَحْدَانِيَّتَكَ وَ أَقْدَمَ صَمَدِيَّتَكَ وَ أَوْحَدَ إِلَهِيَّتَكَ وَ أَبْيَنَ رُبُوبِيَّتَكَ وَ أَظْهَرَ جَلَالَكَ وَ أَشْرَفَ بَهَاءَ آلَائِكَ وَ أَبْهَى كَمَالَ صَنَائِعِكَ وَ أَعْظَمَكَ فِي كِبْرِيَائِكَ وَ أَقْدَمَكَ فِي سُلْطَانِكَ وَ أَنْوَرَكَ فِي أَرْضِكَ وَ سَمَائِكَ وَ أَقْدَمَ مُلْكَكَ وَ أَدْوَمَ عِزَّكَ وَ أَكْرَمَ عَفْوَكَ وَ أَوْسَعَ حِلْمَكَ وَ أَغْمَضَ عِلْمَكَ وَ أَنْفَذَ قُدْرَتَكَ وَ أَحْوَطَ قُرْبَكَ
Glory be to You-azwj! How Mighty is Your-azwj Oneness, and how Ancient is Your-azwj Permanence, and how One is Your-azwj Divinity, and how Clear is Your-azwj Lordship, and how Manifest is Your-azwj Permissible, and how Noble are Your-azwj Favours, and how Splendid is the Perfection of Your-azwj Making, and how Magnificent You-azwj are in Your-azwj Greatness, and how Ancient Your-azwj are in Your-azwj Authority, and how Radiant Your-azwj are in Your-azwj earth and Your-azwj sky, and how Ancient is Your-azwj Kingdom, and how Constant is Your-azwj Mighty, and how Benevolent is Your-azwj Pardon, and how Vast is Your-azwj Forbearance, and how Deep is Your-azwj Knowledge, and how Absolute is Your-azwj Power, and how Encompassing is Your-azwj Nearness!
أَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِكَ الْقَدِيمِ وَ أَسْمَائِكَ الَّتِي كَوَّنْتَ بِهَا كُلَّ شَيْءٍ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ وَ بَارَكْتَ وَ رَحِمْتَ وَ تَرَحَّمْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَ آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Ancient Noor, and Your-azwj Names by which Your-azwj Brought into being all things, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, just as You-azwj had Send, and Blessed, and Mercied, and were Compassionate upon Ibrahim‑as and Progeny-asws of Ibrahim-as, You-azwj are Praised, Glorified!
وَ أَنْ تَأْخُذَ بِنَاصِيَتِي إِلَى مُوَافَقَتِكَ وَ تَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ بِرَأْفَتِكَ وَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ تَرْزُقَنِي الْحَجَّ إِلَى بَيْتِكَ الْحَرَامِ وَ تَجْمَعَ بَيْنَ رُوحِي وَ أَرْوَاحِ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ تُوصِلَ الْمِنَّةَ بِالْمِنَّةِ وَ الْمَزِيدَ بِالْمَزِيدِ وَ الْخَيْرَ بِالْبَرَكَاتِ وَ الْإِحْسَانَ بِالْإِحْسَانِ كَمَا تَفَرَّدْتَ بِخَلْقِ مَا صَنَعْتَ وَ عَلَى مَا ابْتَدَعْتَ وَ حَكَمْتَ وَ رَحِمْتَ
And Seize me by my forelock to Your-azwj compatibilities, and Look at me with Your-azwj Kindness, and Grace me the Hajj to Your-azwj Sacred House, and Gather between my soul and souls of Your-azwj Prophets-as and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and Connect the Conferment with the Conferment, and the Increase with the Increase, and the good deeds with the Blessings, and the Favour with the Favour, just as You-azwj are Individualised with creation what You-azwj have Made, and what You-azwj Initiated, and Ruled, and Mercied.
فَأَنْتَ الَّذِي لَا تُنَازَعُ فِي الْمَقْدُورِ وَ أَنْتَ مَالِكُ الْعِزِّ وَ النُّورِ وَسِعْتَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ رَحْمَةً وَ عِلْماً وَ أَنْتَ الْقَائِمُ الدَّائِمُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْقَدِيرُ
You-azwj are the One there is no contention in the Determinations, and You-azwj are the Owner, the Mighty, and the Noor! You-azwj are Capacious of all things in Mercy and Knowledge, and You-azwj are the Established, the Permanent, the Dominant, the Able!
إِلَهِي لَمْ أَزَلْ سَائِلًا مِسْكِيناً فَقِيراً إِلَيْكَ فَاجْعَلْ جَمِيعَ أُمُورِي مَوْصُولَةً بِثِقَةِ الِاعْتِمَادِ عَلَيْكَ وَ حُسْنِ الرُّجُوعِ إِلَيْكَ وَ الرِّضَا بِقَدَرِكَ وَ الْيَقِينِ بِكَ وَ التَّفْوِيضِ إِلَيْكَ-
My God-azwj! I have not ceased to be a beggar, needy, poor to You-azwj, so Make entirety of my affairs connected with trust of reliance upon You-azwj, and the excellent return to You-azwj, and being satisfied with Your-azwj Determination, and the certainty with You-azwj and the inclination towards You-azwj!
سُبْحانَكَ لا عِلْمَ لَنا إِلَّا ما عَلَّمْتَنا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَلِيمُ الْحَكِيمُ سُبْحانَهُ بَلْ لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ كُلٌّ لَهُ قانِتُونَ- سُبْحانَكَ فَقِنا عَذابَ النَّارِ- سُبْحانَكَ تُبْتُ إِلَيْكَ وَ أَنَا أَوَّلُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ-
Glory be to You! There is no knowledge for us except what You Taught us; surely You are the Knowing, the Wise [2:31] Glory be to Him; But, for Him is whatever is in the skies and the earth; all are devoutly obedient to Him [2:116] Glory be to You; Save us then from Punishment of the Fire [3:191] ‘Glory be to You! I turn to You and I am the first of the Momineen’ [7:143]!
سُبْحانَكَ أَنْتَ وَلِيُّنا مِنْ دُونِهِمْ- سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ وَ ما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ- سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ- سُبْحانَ الَّذِي أَسْرى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرامِ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ الْأَقْصَى الَّذِي بارَكْنا حَوْلَهُ لِنُرِيَهُ مِنْ آياتِنا إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ
‘Glory be to You! You are our Guardian from besides them. [34:41] Glorious is Allah, Lord of the worlds! [27:8] Glorious is Allah, and I am not from of the Polytheists’ [12:108] Glorious is He Who Journeyed His Servant on a night from the Sacred Masjid to Masjid Al-Aqsa Which We have Blessed its precincts, in order to Show him from Our Signs. Surely, He is the Hearing, the Seeing [17:1].
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ حِينَ تُمْسُونَ وَ حِينَ تُصْبِحُونَ- وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ عَشِيًّا وَ حِينَ تُظْهِرُونَ- يُخْرِجُ الْحَيَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَ يُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَيِّ وَ يُحْيِ الْأَرْضَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِها وَ كَذلِكَ تُخْرَجُونَ-
Glorify Allah when you come up to the evening and when you come up to the morning [30:17] And for Him is the Praise in the skies and the earth, and at sunset and when you come up to midday [30:18] He Extracts the living from the dead and Extracts the dead from the living, and Revives the earth after its death, and like that you would be coming out [30:19].
سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ- سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى عَمَّا يَقُولُونَ عُلُوًّا كَبِيراً- سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولًا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ مَلَكُوتُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ-
Glory be to Him, and Exalted from what they are associating’ [10:18] Glorified is He, and Exalted from what they are saying, Exalted, Great! [17:43] And they are saying: Glorious is our Lord! Surely His Promise would always be Fulfilled [17:108] Glory be to Him in Whose Hand is the Dominion of all things, and to Him you shall be returning [36:83].
سُبْحانَهُ بَلْ عِبادٌ مُكْرَمُونَ- سُبْحانَهُ هُوَ اللَّهُ الْواحِدُ الْقَهَّارُ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنَّا كُنَّا ظالِمِينَ- سُبْحانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ- وَ سَلامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ
Glorious is He! But, they (Prophets) are honoured servants [21:26] Glory be to Him! He is Allah, the One, the Subduer [39:4] They said, Glory be to our Lord! Sure we were unjust’ [68:29] Glorious is your Lord, the Lord of Might, from what they are ascribing [37:180] And greetings be upon the Messengers [37:181] And the Praise is for Allah, Lord of the Worlds [37:182].
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَرِّفْنَا بَرَكَةَ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ وَ يُمْنَهُ وَ ارْزُقْنَا خَيْرَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا شَرَّهُ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.
O Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Introduce us to Blessings of this month, and its development, and Grace us its goodness, and Turn its evil away from us, and Make us in it from the successful ones by Your-azwj Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!’’[56]
2 قل، إقبال الأعمال روينا عن شيخنا المفيد رضوان الله عليه من كتاب حدائق الرياض عند ذكر شهر ربيع الأول ما هذا لفظه أول يوم منه هاجر النبي من مكة إلى المدينة- سنة ثلاث عشرة من مبعثه ص و كان ذلك يوم الخميس يستحب صيامه لما أظهر الله فيه من أمر نبيه و نجاه من عدوه
(The book) ‘Iqbal of Al-Amaal’ – ‘We are reporting from our sheykh Al-Mufeed, may the Pleasure of Allah-azwj be upon him from the book ‘Hadaaiq Al Riyaaz’ at the mention of the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal what is this wording for the first day of it. The Prophet-saww emigrated from Makkah to Al Medina in the year 13 from his-saww Prophet-hood, and was the day of Thursday. It is recommended to fast it due to what Allah-azwj Manifested during it from the matter of His-azwj Prophet-saww and Rescued him-saww from his-saww enemies’.
أقول و يحسن أن يصلي صلاة الشكر التي نذكرها في كتاب السعادات بالعبادات التي ليس لها أوقات معينات و يدعو بدعائها فإنه يوم عظيم السعادات
I say, ‘And it is good if one prays Salat of the appreciation which we mentioned in the book ‘Al Sa’daat Bin Ibadaat’ which there aren’t any timings specified for it, and he should supplicate with its supplications, for it is a day of mighty good fortunes.
و قال جدي في المصباح إن هجرته ص كانت ليلة الخميس أول شهر ربيع الأول و الظاهر أن توجهه من مكة إلى الغار كان ليلا و لم يكن بالنهار
And my grandfather said in ‘Al-Misbah’, ‘His-saww emigration happened on the night of Thursday the beginning of the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal’, and the apparent is that his-saww heading from Makkah to the cave happened at night and did not happen at daytime.
و قال المفيد في التواريخ الشرعية إن الهجرة كانت ليلة الخميس أول ربيع الأول و لعل ناسخ كتاب حدائق غلط في ذكره اليوم عوض الليلة أو قد حذف الليلة كما قال الله تعالى وَ سْئَلِ الْقَرْيَةَ أراد أهل القرية.
And Al-Mufeed said in ‘Al-Tawareekh Al-Sharia’ – ‘The emigration happened on the night of Thursday on the first of Rabbi Al-Awwal’, and perhaps it was copied in ‘Kitab Al-Hadaaiq’ wrongly regarding its mention of the day instead of the night, or the night has been deleted (omitted) just as Allah-azwj the Exalted Said: And ask the town (people) [12:82], meaning people of the town’’.[57]
باب 94 فضل اليوم التاسع من شهر ربيع الأول و أعماله
CHAPTER 94 – MERIT OF THE NINTH DAY OF THE MONTH OF RABBI AL-AWWAL AND ITS ACTS OF WORSHIP
أقول: قد أوردنا شطرا مما يتعلق بهذا الباب في أحوال الخلفاء الثلاث و غيرها.
I say, ‘We have referred to part of what is related to this chapter in situations of the three caliphs and elsewhere’.
1- قَالَ السَّيِّدُ بْنُ طَاوُسٍ ره فِي كِتَابِ زَوَائِدِ الْفَوَائِدِ رَوَى ابْنُ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ الْوَاسِطِيُّ وَ يَحْيَى بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حُوَيْجٍ الْبَغْدَادِيُّ قَالا تَنَازَعْنَا فِي ابْنِ الْخَطَّابِ وَ اشْتَبَهَ عَلَيْنَا أَمْرُهُ فَقَصَدْنَا جَمِيعاً أَحْمَدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُمِّيَّ صَاحِبَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع بِمَدِينَةِ قُمَّ فَقَرَعْنَا عَلَيْهِ الْبَابَ فَخَرَجَتْ عَلَيْنَا صَبِيَّةٌ عِرَاقِيَّةٌ فَسَأَلْنَاهَا عَنْهُ فَقَالَتْ هُوَ مَشْغُولٌ بِعِيدِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ
The Seyyid Bin Tawoos said in the book ‘Zawaaid Al Fawaaid’, ‘It is reported by Ibn Abu Al A’la Al-Hamdany Al-Wasity, and Yahya Bin Muhammad Bin Howeyj Al-Baghdadi, both said, ‘We disputed regarding Ibn Al-Khattab and his matter was confusing upon us so we all aimed to go to Is’haq Al-Qummi, companion of Abu Al-Hassan Al-Askari-asws at Medina. We knocked the door to him. An Iraqi girl child came out to us. We asked about him. She said, ‘He is busy far away, for it is a day of Eid’.
فَقُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا الْأَعْيَادُ أَرْبَعَةٌ لِلشِّيعَةِ- الْفِطْرُ وَ الْأَضْحَى وَ الْغَدِيرُ وَ الْجُمُعَةُ
I said, ‘Glory be to Allah-azwj! But rather the Eid(s) for the Shias are four – Al-Fitr, and Al-Azha, and Al-Ghadeer, and the Friday!’
قَالَتْ فَإِنَّ أَحْمَدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ يَرْوِي عَنْ سَيِّدِهِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْعَسْكَرِيِّ ع أَنَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمَ يَوْمُ عِيدٍ وَ هُوَ أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْيَادِ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع وَ عِنْدَ مَوَالِيهِمْ
She said, ‘Because Ahmad Bin Is’haq is reporting from his master Abu Al-Hassan Ali Al-Hassan‑asws Bin Muhammad Al-Askari-asws that this day is a day of Eid and it is most superior of the Eid(s) in the view of People-asws of the Household, and in the view of their-asws friends’.
قُلْنَا فَاسْتَأْذِنِي عَلَيْهِ وَ عَرِّفِيهِ مَكَانَنَا
We said, ‘Seek permission for us to see him and make him know of our positions!’
قَالا فَدَخَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ فَعَرَّفَتْهُ فَخَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا وَ هُوَ مَسْتُورٌ بِمِئْزَرٍ يَفُوحُ مِسْكاً وَ هُوَ يَمْسَحُ وَجْهَهُ فَأَنْكَرْنَا ذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لَا عَلَيْكُمَا فَإِنِّي اغْتَسَلْتُ لِلْعِيدِ
They both said, ‘We entered to see him and introduced ourselves to him. He came out to us and he was covered with a loincloth perfumed with musk and he was wiping his face. We disliked that upon him. He said, ‘It is not upon you both, for I have bathed for the Eid!’
قُلْنَا أَوَّلًا هَذَا يَوْمُ عِيدٍ
We said, ‘The beginning of this day is an Eid?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ وَ كَانَ يَوْمُ التَّاسِعِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ
He said, ‘Yes’, and it was the ninth day of Rabbi Al-Awwal.
قَالا فَأَدْخَلَنَا دَارَهُ وَ أَجْلَسَنَا ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنِّي قَصَدْتُ مَوْلَايَ أبي [أَبَا] الْحَسَنِ ع كَمَا قَصَدْتُمَانِي بِسُرَّمَنْرَأَى فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي فَدَخَلْتُ عَلَيْهِ ع فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ التَّاسِعِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ فَرَأَيْتُ سَيِّدَنَا عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَى آبَائِهِ السَّلَامُ قَدْ أَوْعَزَ إِلَى كُلِّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْ خَدَمِهِ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ مَا يُمْكِنُهُمْ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ الْجُدُدِ وَ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ مِجْمَرَةٌ يُحْرِقُ الْعُودَ فِيهَا بِنَفْسِهِ
They both said, ‘We entered his house and he seated us, then said, ‘I had gone to my master Abu Al-Hassan-asws just as you both have come to me, at Sur Man Ray. I sought permission to see him-asws. He permitted for me so I entered to see him-asws in the like of this day, and it was the ninth day of a month of Rabbi Al-Awwal. I saw our chief, upon him-asws and upon his-asws forefathers-asws be the greetings, advising to every one of his-asws servants to wear whatever was possible from the new clothes, and in front of him-asws was an incense burner burning the frankincense in it by himself-asws.
فَقُلْتُ لَهُ بِآبَائِنَا وَ أُمَّهَاتِنَا يَا ابْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ هَلْ تَجَدَّدَ لِأَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ فِي هَذَا الْيَوْمِ فَرَحٌ
I said to him-asws, ‘By our fathers and our mothers, O son-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww! Do you-asws find joy for People-asws of the Household in this day?’
فَقَالَ ع وَ أَيُّ يَوْمٍ أَعْظَمُ حُرْمَةً عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ مِنْ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ التَّاسِعِ مِنْ شَهْرِ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ لَقَدْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ع أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ دَخَلَ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ عَلَى جَدِّي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص
He-asws said: ‘And which day is of mightier sanctity for People-asws of the Household than this day, the 9th of a month of Rabbi Al-Awwal, and my-asws father-asws had narrated to me-asws that Huzeyfa Al-Yamani had entered during a day similar to this day to see my-asws grandfather-saww Rasool-Allah-saww.
قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ رَأَيْتُ أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ وَلَدَيْهِ ع يَأْكُلُونَ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص وَ هُوَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فِي وُجُوهِهِمْ وَ يَقُولُ لِوَلَدَيْهِ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع كُلَا هَنِيئاً لَكُمَا بَرَكَةُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ سَعَادَتُهُ فَإِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يُهْلِكُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ عَدُوَّهُ وَ عَدُوَّ جَدِّكُمَا
Huzeyfa said, ‘I saw Amir Al-Momineen-asws and his-asws two sons-asws eating with Rasool-Allah‑saww, and he-asws was smiling in their-asws faces and saying to his-asws two sons Al-Hassan‑asws and Al-Husayn-asws: ‘Eat pleasantly for there are Blessings for you-asws both of this day and its good fortune, for it is the day in which Allah-azwj Destroyed His-azwj enemy and enemy of your-asws grandfather-saww!
وَ إِنَّهُ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ أَعْمَالَ شِيعَتِكُمَا وَ مُحِبِّيكُمَا وَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يُصَدَّقُ فِيهِ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ- فَتِلْكَ بُيُوتُهُمْ خاوِيَةً بِما ظَلَمُوا وَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي نُسِفَ فِيهِ فِرْعَوْنُ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ وَ ظَالِمُهُمْ وَ غَاصِبُهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ وَ الْيَوْمُ الَّذِي يُقْدِمُ اللَّهُ إِلَى ما عَمِلُوا مِنْ عَمَلٍ فَجَعَلْناهُ هَباءً مَنْثُوراً
And it is the day in which Allah-azwj Accepts the deeds of your-asws Shias and ones loving you‑asws, and the day in which the Words of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty were ratified: So, those were their houses, having collapsed due to their injustices. [27:52], and the day in which Pharaoh-la against People-asws of the Household, and ones oppressing them of their-asws rights were destroyed, and the day which Allah-azwj will proceed to what they have done of a deed, so We shall Make it as scattered floating dust [25:23]!’
قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص وَ فِي أُمَّتِكَ وَ أَصْحَابِكَ مَنْ يَنْتَهِكَ هَذِهِ الْمَحَارِمَ
Huzeyfa said, ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww, and among your-saww community and your-saww companions there is someone who will violate these sanctities?’
قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا حُذَيْفَةُ جِبْتٌ مِنَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ يَرْتَاسُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ يَسْتَعْمِلُ فِي أُمَّتِي الرُّؤْيَا وَ يَحْمِلُ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ دِرَّةَ الْخِزْيِ وَ يَصُدُّ النَّاسَ عَنْ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ يُحَرِّفُ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَ يُغَيِّرُ سُنَّتِي
He-saww said: ‘Yes, O Huzeyfa! A tyrant from the hypocrites will rise against them-asws and manipulate the aspirations of my-saww community, and will beautify the shield of disgrace upon his shoulder, and block the people from the way of Allah-azwj altering the Book of Allah‑azwj and changing my-saww Sunnah.
وَ يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَى إِرْثِ وُلْدِي وَ يَنْصِبُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَماً وَ يَتَطَاوَلُ عَلَى إِمَامِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِي وَ يَسْتَخْلِبُ أَمْوَالَ النَّاسِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حِلِّهَا وَ يُنْفِقُهَا فِي غَيْرِ طَاعَةِ اللَّهِ وَ يُكَذِّبُنِي وَ يُكَذِّبُ أَخِي وَ وَزِيرِي وَ يَحْسُدُ ابْنَتِي عَنْ حَقِّهَا فَتَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَيْهِ فَيَسْتَجِيبُ دُعَاءَهَا فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ
And he will seize the inheritance of my-saww children and install himself as a flag, and prevail and assail upon his Imam-asws from after me-saww, and steal wealth of the people from without its permissibility in other than obedience to Allah-azwj, and he will belie me-as and belie my-saww brother (Ali-asws), and my Vizier, and he will envy my-saww daughter-asws about her-asws rights! She-asws will supplicate to Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic against him and her-asws supplication will be Answered in the likes of this day!’
قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ص فَادْعُ رَبَّكَ لِيُهْلِكَهُ فِي حَيَاتِكَ
Huzeyfa said, ‘I said, ‘O Rasool-Allah-saww! Supplicate to your-saww Lord-azwj to Destroy him during your-saww lifetime!’
فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ص يَا حُذَيْفَةُ لَا أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَجْتَرِئَ عَلَى قَضَاءِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لِمَا قَدْ سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِهِ لَكِنْ سَأَلْتُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَ لِلْيَوْمِ الَّذِي يُهْلِكُهُ فِيهِ فَضِيلَةً عَلَى سَائِرِ الْأَيَّامِ لِيَكُونَ ذَلِكَ سُنَّةً يَسْتَنُّ بِهَا أَحِبَّائِي وَ شِيعَةُ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي وَ محبيهم [مُحِبُّوهُمْ]
Rasool-Allah-saww said: ‘O Huzeyfa! I-saww don’t like to be audacious upon a Decree of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic due to what has already preceded in His-azwj Knowledge. But, I did ask Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic to Make merits for the day in which He-azwj Destroys him over rest of the days, for that to be a Sunnah conducted by my-saww loved ones and Shias of People‑asws of my-saww Household, and ones loving them-asws!
فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَيَّ جَلَّ مِنْ قَائِلٍ يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فِي سَابِقِ عِلْمِي أَنْ تَمَسَّكَ وَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِكَ مِحَنُ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَلَاؤُهَا وَ ظُلْمُ الْمُنَافِقِينَ وَ الْغَاصِبِينَ مِنْ عِبَادِي
So Allah-azwj the Majestic Revealed to me-saww from a speaker: “O Muhammad-saww! It has already preceded in the precedence of My-azwj Knowledge that you-saww and People-asws of your-saww Household will be touched by Trials of the worlds and its afflictions and oppression by the hypocrites and the usurpers from My-azwj servants!
مَنْ نَصَحْتَ لَهُمْ وَ خَانُوكَ وَ مَحَضْتَ لَهُمْ وَ غَشُّوكَ وَ صَافَيْتَهُمْ وَ كَشَحُوكَ وَ أَرْضَيْتَهُمْ وَ كَذَّبُوكَ وَ جَنَيْتَهُمْ وَ أَسْلَمُوكَ
(These are) one whom you-saww had advised to them and they betrayed you-saww, and you-saww were sincere to them and they deceived you-saww, and you-azwj were loyal to them and they turned against you-saww, and you-saww satisfied them and they belied you-asws, and you-saww shielded them and their yielded you-saww!
فَإِنِّي بِحَوْلِي وَ قُوَّتِي وَ سُلْطَانِي لَأَفْتَحَنَّ عَلَى مَنْ يَغْصِبُ بَعْدَكَ عَلِيّاً وَصِيَّكَ حَقّاً أَلْفَ بَابٍ مِنَ النِّيرَانِ مِنْ أَسْفَلِ الْفَيْلُوقِ وَ لَأُصْلِيَنَّهُ وَ أَصْحَابَهُ قَعْراً يُشْرِفُ عَلَيْهِ إِبْلِيسُ آدَمَ فَيَلْعَنُهُ
Therefore I-azwj, with My-azwj Might and My-azwj Strength and My-azwj Authority, I-azwj Open upon the ones who usurps Ali-asws, your-saww successor-asws after you-saww of his-asws rights, a thousand door of the fires from the lowest depths of the abyss, and I-azwj will Cast him and his companions into a pit over which Iblees-la, the enemy of Adam-as, will reside, and he-la will curse him!
وَ لَأَجْعَلَنَّ ذَلِكَ الْمُنَافِقَ عِبْرَةً فِي الْقِيَامَةِ كَفَرَاعِنَةِ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ وَ أَعْدَاءِ الدِّينِ فِي الْمَحْشَرِ وَ لَأَحْشُرَنَّهُمْ وَ أَوْلِيَاءَهُمْ وَ جَمِيعَ الظَّلَمَةِ وَ الْمُنَافِقِينَ إِلَى جَهَنَّمَ زُرْقاً كَالِحِينَ أَذِلَّةً حَيَارَى نَادِمِينَ وَ لَأُضِلَّنَّهُمْ فِيهَا أَبَدَ الْآبِدِينَ
I-azwj will Make that hypocrite a lesson on the Day of Resurrection, like the Pharaohs-la of the Prophets-as and the enemies of religion in the gathering place. I-azwj will Assemble him, and his allies, and all the oppressors, and hypocrites in Hell as blue-eyed, grim-faced, humiliated, lost, regretful, and I-azwj will let them wander astray in it for ever and ever!
يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنَّ مُرَافِقَكَ وَ وَصِيَّكَ فِي مَنْزِلَتِكَ يَمَسَّهُ الْبَلْوَى مِنْ فِرْعَوْنِهِ وَ غَاصِبِهِ الَّذِي يَجْتَرِئُ وَ يُبَدِّلُ كَلَامِي وَ يُشْرِكُ بِي وَ يَصُدُّ النَّاسَ عَنْ سَبِيلِي وَ يَنْصِبُ مِنْ نَفْسِهِ عِجْلًا لِأُمَّتِكَ وَ يَكْفُرُ بِي فِي عَرْشِي
O Muhammad-saww! Your-saww companion and your-saww successor-asws in your-saww rank, the Trials will touch him from his-asws Pharaoh-la and his-asws usurper who will dare to replace My‑azwj Speech and associate with Me-azwj, and block the people from My-azwj way, and will install a calf from himself for your-saww community and blaspheme with Me-azwj in My-azwj Throne!
إِنِّي قَدْ أَمَرْتُ مَلَائِكَتِي فِي سَبْعِ سَمَاوَاتِي وَ شِيعَتَكَ وَ مُحِبِّيكَ أَنْ يُعَيِّدُوا فِي الْيَوْمِ الَّذِي أَهْلَكْتُهُ فِيهِ وَ أَمَرْتُهُمْ أَنْ يَنْصِبُوا كُرْسِيَّ كَرَامَتِي بِإِزَاءِ الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ وَ يُثْنُوا عَلَيَّ وَ يَسْتَغْفِرُونَ لِشِيعَتِكَ وَ لِمُحِبِّيكَ مِنْ وُلْدِ آدَمَ
I-azwj have Commanded My-azwj Angels in my seven skies, and your-saww Shias and ones loving you-saww to make it a festival during the day in which I-azwj Destroy him, and I-azwj Command them to install My-azwj Chair parallel to Al-Bayt Al-Mamour and laud upon Me-azwj and seek Forgiveness for your-saww Shias and for ones loving you-saww from the children of Adam-as!
يَا مُحَمَّدُ وَ أَمَرْتُ الْكِرَامَ الْكَاتِبِينَ أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا الْقَلَمَ عَنِ الْخَلْقِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ وَ لَا يَكْتُبُونَ شَيْئاً مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ كَرَامَةً لَكَ وَ لِوَصِيِّكَ
O Muhammad-saww, and I-azwj have Commanded the honourable recorders to raise the pen from the creatures during that day and they will not be writing anything from their misdeeds in honour for you-saww and for your-asws successor-asws!
يَا مُحَمَّدُ إِنِّي قَدْ جَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ يَوْمَ عِيدٍ لَكَ وَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ لِمَنْ يَتْبَعُهُمْ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ شِيعَتِهِمْ
O Muhammad-saww! I-azwj have Made that day a day of Eid for you-saww, and for People-asws of your-saww Household, and for one from the Momineen and their-asws Shias following them-asws!
وَ آلَيْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي بِعِزَّتِي وَ جَلَالِي وَ عُلُوِّي فِي مَكَانِي لَأَحْبُوَنَّ مَنْ يُعَيِّدُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مُحْتَسِباً فِي ثَوَابِ الْحَافِّينَ وَ لَأُشَفِّعَنَّهُ فِي ذَوِي رَحِمِهِ وَ لَأَزِيدَنَّ فِي مَالِهِ إِنْ وَسَّعَ عَلَى نَفْسِهِ وَ عِيَالِهِ
And I-azwj have Sworn upon Myself-azwj by My-azwj Might and My Majesty, and My-azwj Exaltedness in My-azwj Position! I-azwj will Love the one making it an Eid during that day anticipating Rewards of the one who encircle (in devotion), and I-azwj shall Intercede regarding one with his-asws kinship and I-azwj shall Increase in his wealth and Expand upon himself and his dependants!
وَ لَأُعْتِقَنَّ مِنَ النَّارِ فِي كُلِّ حَوْلٍ فِي مِثْلِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ آلَافاً مِنْ شِيعَتِكُمْ وَ مُحِبِّيكُمْ وَ مَوَالِيكُمْ وَ لَأَجْعَلَنَّ سَعْيَهُمْ مَشْكُوراً وَ ذَنْبَهُمْ مَغْفُوراً وَ عَمَلَهُمْ مَقْبُولًا
And I-azwj shall Liberate from the Hellfire during every year in similar to that day, thousands of your-saww Shias, and ones loving you-asws all, and your-asws friends, and I-azwj shall Make their striving to be Appreciated, and their sins Forgiven, and their deeds Accepted!”’

And innovations of the ‘Sunnah’ and other such, and changing the creed, and displacement of the Sunnah, and rejecting the testimony of Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and belying (Syeda) Fatima-asws daughter-asws of Rasool-Allah-saww, and usurpation of Fadak from her-asws, and pleasing the Jews and the Christians and the Magians, and angering the delight of the eyes of Al-Mustafa-saww and not pleasing her-asws!

And changing the Sunnah, all of it, and conspiring to kill Amir Al-Momineen-asws, and appearance of the tyranny, and prohibiting what Allah-azwj had Prohibited, and permitting what Allah-azwj had Prohibited, and the people remained taking the cash (as currency) from the skins of camels, and slapping hard the pure face (of Syeda Fatima-asws), and ascending the pulpit of Rasool-Allah-saww unjustly and aggressively, and fabricating upon Amir Al-Momineen‑asws, and being inimical to him-asws and ridiculing his-asws views!’

Huzeyfa said, ‘I entered to see Amir Al-Momineen-asws when that hypocrite was killed in order to congratulate him-asws of his being killed and his destination to that disgrace and the revenge. Amir Al-Momineen-asws said: ‘O Huzeyfa! Do you remember the days during which you had entered to see Rasool-Allah-saww while I-asws and his-saww two grandsons-asws were eating with him-saww?

This is the day of comfort, and the day of relief from the worries and the distress, and the second Al-Ghadeer, and the day of offloading the burdens, and the day of goodwill, and the day the pen is raised, and the day of gifting, and the day of oblation, and the day of Al-Aqeeqa, and the day of Blessings, and the day of retaliation, and the greatest Eid of Allah-azwj, and the day in which supplications are Answered, and the day of the mightiest pausing!
وَ يَوْمُ التَّوْلِيَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الشَّرْطِ وَ يَوْمُ نَزْعِ الْأَسْوَارِ وَ يَوْمُ نَدَامَةِ الظَّالِمِينَ وَ يَوْمُ انْكِسَارِ الشيعة [الشَّوْكَةِ] وَ يَوْمُ نَفْيِ الْهُمُومِ وَ يَوْمُ الْفَتْحِ وَ يَوْمُ الْعَرْضِ وَ يَوْمُ الْقُدْرَةِ وَ يَوْمُ التَّصْفِيحِ وَ يَوْمُ فَرَحِ الشِّيعَةِ وَ يَوْمُ التَّرْوِيَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الْإِنَابَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الزَّكَاةِ الْعُظْمَى وَ يَوْمُ الْفِطْرِ الثَّانِي
And the day of inauguration, and the day of conditions, and the day of removal of shackles, and the day of regret for the oppressors, and day of breaking of the thorns from the Shias, and the day of negating the worries, and the day of victory, and the day of presentation, and the day of power, and the day of clarity, and the day of joy for the Shias, and the day of reflection, and the day of penitence, and the day of the mighty purification, and the day of the second Al-Fitr!
وَ يَوْمُ سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى وَ يَوْمُ التَّجَرُّعِ بِالرِّيقِ وَ يَوْمُ الرِّضَا وَ عِيدُ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع وَ يَوْمٌ ظَفِرَتْ بِهِ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ وَ يَوْمٌ قَبِلَ اللَّهُ أَعْمَالَ الشِّيعَةِ وَ يَوْمُ تَقْدِيمِ الصَّدَقَةِ وَ يَوْمُ طَلَبِ الزِّيَادَةِ وَ يَوْمُ قَتْلِ الْمُنَافِقِ وَ يَوْمُ الْوَقْتِ الْمَعْلُومِ وَ يَوْمُ سُرُورِ أَهْلِ الْبَيْتِ ع
And the day of the way of Allah-azwj the Exalted, and the day of swallowing the bitterness, and the day of contentment, and Eid of People-asws of the Household, and the day the children of Israel had triumphed in, and the day Allah-azwj Accepts deeds of the Shias, and the day of forwarding the charity, and the day of seeing the increase, and the day the hypocrite was killed, and the day of the known time, and the day of cheerfulness of People-asws of the Household!
وَ يَوْمُ الْمَشْهُودِ وَ يَوْمٌ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلَى يَدَيْهِ وَ يَوْمُ هَدْمِ الضَّلَالَةِ وَ يَوْمُ النَّيْلَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الشَّهَادَةِ وَ يَوْمُ التَّجَاوُزِ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ يَوْمُ الْمُسْتَطَابِ وَ يَوْمُ ذَهَابِ سُلْطَانِ الْمُنَافِقِ وَ يَوْمُ التَّسْدِيدِ وَ يَوْمٌ يَسْتَرِيحُ فِيهِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ وَ يَوْمُ الْمُبَاهَلَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الْمُفَاخَرَةِ
And the witnessed day, and the day the oppressor bites upon his hand, and the day the straying was demolished, and the day of achievement, and the day of the testimony, and the day of overlooking from the Momineen, and the most delicious day, and the day of the end of authority of the hypocrite, and the day of guidance, and the day in which the Momineen rested, and the day of imprecation, and the pride-worthy day!
وَ يَوْمُ قَبُولِ الْأَعْمَالِ وَ يَوْمُ النَّحِيلِ وَ يَوْمُ النَّحِيلَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الشُّكْرِ وَ يَوْمُ نُصْرَةِ الْمَظْلُومِ وَ يَوْمُ الزِّيَارَةِ وَ يَوْمُ التَّوَدُّدِ وَ يَوْمُ النَّحِيبِ وَ يَوْمُ الْوُصُولِ وَ يَوْمُ الْبَرَكَةِ وَ يَوْمُ كَشْفِ الْبِدَعِ وَ يَوْمُ الزُّهْدِ فِي الْكَبَائِرِ وَ يَوْمُ الْمُنَادِي وَ يَوْمُ الْمَوْعِظَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الْعِبَادَةِ وَ يَوْمُ الْإِسْلَامِ
And the day the deeds are Accepted, and the day of leanness, and the day of scarcity, and the day of appreciation, and the day of helping the oppressed, and the day of visitation, and the day of cordiality, and the day of lamentation, and the day of connecting, and the day of Blessings, and the day of removal of innovations, and the day of abstaining from the major sins, and the day of the caller, and the day of preaching, and the day of worship, and the day of Al Islam!’
قَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ فَقُمْتُ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع وَ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي لَوْ لَمْ أُدْرِكْ مِنْ أَفْعَالِ الْخَيْرِ مَا أَرْجُو بِهِ الثَّوَابَ إِلَّا حُبَّ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ لَكَانَ مُنَايَ
Huzeyfa said, ‘I said, ‘I arose from the presence of Amir Al-Momineen-asws and said within myself, ‘Even if I do not come across from the good actions what I am hoping for the Rewards with except the love for this day, it would be my wish!’
قَالَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ الْهَمْدَانِيُّ وَ يَحْيَى بْنُ جَرِيحٍ فَقَامَ كُلُّ وَاحِدٍ مِنَّا نُقَبِّلُ رَأْسَ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ وَ قُلْنَا الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي مَا قَبَضَنَا حَتَّى شَرَّفَنَا بِفَضْلِ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ انْصَرَفْنَا مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ عِيدُنَا فِيهِ فَهُوَ عِيدُ الشِّيعَةِ تَمَّ الْخَبَرُ.
Muhammad Bin Abu Al A’ala Al-Hamdany and Yahya Bin Jareeh. Each one of us faced the head of Ahmad Bin Is’haq and we said, ‘The Praise is for Allah-azwj Who did not Recall us until we were ennobled with the merits of this Blessed day!’, and we left from his presence and we celebrated our Eid during it, for it is an Eid of the Shias’ – completion of the Hadeeth’’.[58]
و الحمد لله وحده و صلى الله على محمد و آله و سلم من خط محمد بن علي بن محمد بن طي ره و وجدنا فيما تصفحنا من الكتب عدة روايات موافقة لها فاعتمدنا عليها فينبغي تعظيم هذا اليوم المشار إليه و إظهار السرور فيه مطلقا لسر يكون في مطاويه على الوجه الذي ظهر احتياطا للروايات فيستحب أن يسمي ذلك اليوم يوم العيد مجازا.
And the Praise is for Allah-azwj Alone, and may Allah-azwj send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and his-saww Progeny-asws, and Greetings! From the handwriting of Muhammad Bin Ali Bin Muhammad Bin Tayy, and we found among what we browsed from a books were a number of reports compatible to it, so we relied upon it. It is befitting to revere this day indicated to, and reveal the cheerfulness during it absolutely for a secret lies within its folds, as has become apparent from caution in the narrations. It is recommended to call this day a day of Eid metaphorically’.
2 قل، إقبال الأعمال يوم التاسع من ربيع الأول اعلم أن هذا اليوم وجدنا فيه رواية عظيمة الشأن و وجدنا جماعة من العجم و الإخوان يعظمون السرور فيه يذكرون أنه يوم هلاك بعض من كان يهون بالله جل جلاله و رسوله صلوات الله عليه و يعاديه
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ –The ninth day of Rabbi Al-Awwal, ‘Know that we have found a highly significant narration regarding this day, and we have also observed groups of Persians and brothers venerating it with joy, stating that it is the day marking the demise of someone who disrespected Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, and His-azwj Rasool-saww, and opposed him-saww.
و لم أجد فيما تصفحت من الكتب إلى الآن موافقة أعتمد عليها للرواية التي رويناها [عن] ابن بابويه تغمده الله بالرضوان فإن أراد أحد تعظيمه مطلقا لسر يكون في مطاويه عن غير الوجه الذي ظهر فيه احتياطا للرواية فكذا عادة ذوي الرعاية
However, in my review of various books, I have not found any agreement to rely upon for the narration that we transmitted from Ibn Babuwayh, may Allah-azwj Sheathe him with the Pleasure. If someone wishes to venerate this day unconditionally, recognising a hidden significance within its folds beyond what is apparent from the narration, this aligns with the practices of those who exercise religious caution.
أقول و إنما قد ذكرت في كتاب التعريف للمولد الشريف عن الشيخ الثقة محمد بن جرير بن رستم الطبري الإمامي في كتاب الدلائل في الإمامة أن وفاة مولانا الحسن العسكري صلوات الله عليه كانت لثمان ليال خلون من شهر ربيع الأول
I have mentioned in the book ‘Al-Ta’rif lil Mawlid Al-Sharif’ that the trustworthy Sheykh Muhammad Ibn Jarir ibn Rustam Al-Tabari Al-Imami stated in his book ‘Dalail Fi Al-Imama’ that the death of our master Hasan Al-Askari-asws, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him‑asws occurred eight nights into the month of Rabbi Al-Awwal.
و كذلك ذكر محمد بن يعقوب الكليني ره في كتاب الحجة و كذلك قال محمد بن هارون التلعكبري و كذلك ذكر حسين بن حمدان بن الخطيب و كذلك ذكر الشيخ المفيد في كتاب الإرشاد و كذلك قال المفيد أيضا في كتاب مولد النبي و الأوصياء و كذلك ذكر أبو جعفر الطوسي في كتاب تهذيب الأحكام و كذلك قال حسين بن خزيمة و كذلك قال نصر بن علي الجهضمي في كتاب المواليد و كذلك الخشاب في كتاب المواليد أيضا و كذلك قال ابن شهرآشوب في كتاب المواليد
The same was mentioned by Muhammad Ibn Yaqoub Al Kulayni in ‘Kitab Al Hujja’, by Muhammad Ibn Haroun Al Tal’ukbari by Husayn Ibn Hamdan Al Khatib, by Sheikh Al-Mufeed in ‘Kitab Al Irshad’, as well as in his book ‘Mawlid Al Nabi Wa Al Awsiya’, and by Abu Ja’far Al Tusi in Tahzeeb Al Ahkam. It was also mentioned by Husayn ibn Khuzaimah, Nasr ibn Ali al-Jahzami in ‘Kitab Al Mawaalid’, and Ibn Shahr Ashub in ‘Kitab Al Mawaalid’.
فإذا كانت وفاة مولانا الحسن العسكري ع كما ذكر هؤلاء لثمان خلون من ربيع الأول فيكون ابتداء ولاية المهدي ع على الأمة يوم تاسع ربيع الأول فلعل تعظيم هذا اليوم و هو يوم تاسع ربيع الأول لهذا الوقت المفضل و العناية لمولى المعظم المكمل فصل
Therefore, if the expiry of our master Hasan Al Askari-asws occurred as these scholars have stated, eight nights into Rabbi Al-Awwal, then the beginning of the Wilayah of Al Mahdi-ajfj upon the community would be on the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal. Thus, perhaps the veneration of this day, the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal, is due to its being the time of this honourable and distinguished occasion.
أقول و إن كان يمكن أن يكون تأويل ما رواه أبو جعفر بن بابويه في أن قتل من ذكر كان يوم تاسع ربيع الأول لعل معناه أن السبب الذي اقتضى عزم القاتل على قتل من قتل كان ذلك السبب يوم تاسع ربيع الأول فيكون اليوم الذي فيه سبب القتل أصل القتل و يمكن أن يسمى مجازا بالقتل
I say, ‘It is also possible to interpret what Abu Ja’far Ibn Babuwayh narrated, that the killing of the one mentioned occurred on the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal. Perhaps it means that the cause leading the killer to resolve to kill occurred on that day, making the day of the cause the origin of the act of killing. It could metaphorically be referred to as the day of killing.
و يمكن أن يتأول بتأويل آخر و هو أن يكون توجه القاتل من بلده إلى البلد الذي وقع القتل فيه يوم تاسع ربيع الأول أو يوم وصول القاتل إلى المدينة التي وقع فيها القتل كان يوم سابع ربيع الأول
And another possible interpretation is that the killer departed from his city toward the location of the killing on the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal, or that his arrival in the city where the killing took place was the seventh day of Rabbi Al-Awwal.
و أما تأويل من تأول أن الخبر بالقتل وصل إلى بلد أبي جعفر بن بابويه يوم تاسع ربيع الأول فلأنه لا يصح لأن الحديث الذي رواه ابن بابويه عن الصادق ع ضمن أن القتل كان في يوم تاسع ربيع الأول فكيف يصح تأويل أنه يوم بلغ الخبر إليهم.
And as for the interpretation that the news of the killing reached the city of Abu Ja’far Ibn Babuwayh on the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal, this cannot be accurate, as the narration Ibn Babuwayh transmitted from Al-Sadiq-asws explicitly states that the killing occurred on the ninth of Rabbi Al-Awwal. How, then, can it be interpreted as the day the news reached them?’’[59]
باب 95 أعمال بقية أيام هذا الشهر و لياليها سوى ما تقدم و يأتي في الأبواب
CHAPTER 95 – ACTS OF WORSHIP OF REMAINDER OF THIS MONTH AND ITS NIGHTS BESIDES WHAT HAS PRECEDED AND WILL BE COMING IN THE CHAPTERS
– 1 أقول قل، إقبال الأعمال بإسنادنا إلى المفيد ره قال في حدائق الرياض عند ذكر ربيع الأول- اليوم العاشر منه تزوج النبي ص- خديجة بنت خويلد أم المؤمنين رضي الله عنها و لها أربعون سنة و له ع خمس و عشرون سنة
I say, ‘In ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ by our chain to Al-Mufeed. He said in ‘Hadaaiq Al-Riyaaz’ at the mention of Rabbi Al-Awwal, ‘The tenth day from it was the marriage of the Prophet-saww to Khadeeja-as daughter of Khuweylid, Mother of the Believers, may Allah-azwj be Pleased with her-as, and for her-as were forty years and for him-saww were twenty-five years.
و يستحب صيامه شكرا لله تعالى على توفيقه بين رسوله و الصالحة الرضية التقية و قال في اليوم الثاني عشر منه كان قدوم رسول الله ص المدينة مع زوال الشمس و في مثله سنة اثنتين و ثمانين من الهجرة كان انقضاء دولة بني مروان فيستحب صومه شكرا لله تعالى على ما أهلك من أعداء رسوله ص أقول لأن فيه بويع السفاح أول خلفاء الدولة الهاشمية أما قتل مروان و زوال دولة بني أمية بالكلية فإنه كان يوم سابع عشر من ذي الحجة كما تقدم.
And it is recommended to fast it thanking Allah-azwj the Exalted for His-azwj bounties in uniting His-azwj Rasool-saww with the righteous, virtuous, and pious woman. It is also said that on the 12th of this month, Rasool-Allah-saww, arrived in Medina after the sun had passed its zenith. On a similar day in the year 82 AH was the downfall of the Umayyad dynasty occurred. Thus, fasting on this day is recommended in gratitude to Allah-azwj the Exalted, for destroying the enemies of His-azwj Rasool-saww. I say this is because on this day, Al-Saffah, the first caliph of the Abbasid dynasty, was pledged allegiance. As for the killing of Marwan and the complete fall of the Umayyad dynasty, that took place on the 17th of Zul Hijjah, as has preceded’’.[60]
2 قل، إقبال الأعمال قد روينا في كتاب التعريف للمولد الشريف عدة مقالات أن اليوم الثاني عشر من ربيع الأول كانت ولادة رسول الله ص فصومه مهم احتياطا للعبادة بما يبلغ الجهد إليه و وجدنا في كتب أصحابنا من العجم يستحب أن تصلي فيه ركعتين في الأولى- الحمد مرة و قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا الْكافِرُونَ ثلاثا و في الثانية الحمد مرة و قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ ثلاثا.
(Iqbal Al-Amaal) – We are reporting in ‘Kitab Al-Tareef Al-Mowlud Al-Shareef’ there are a number of words that the 12th day of Rabbi Al-Awwal was the birth of Rasool-Allah-saww, so fast it precautionary for the worship from whatever the effort reaches to, and we found in books of our Non-Arab companions it is recommended to pray two units Salat during it. In the first (Surah) Al Hamd, and (Surah) Al Kafiroun thrice, and in the second (Surah) Al Hamd, and Surah Al Tawheed thrice’’.[61]
3 قل، إقبال الأعمال ذكر شيخنا المفيد أن في اليوم الرابع عشر من ربيع الأول سنة أربع و ستين كان هلاك الملحد الملعون- يزيد بن معاوية لعنه الله أقول فهو حقيق بالصيام شكرا عليه.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – ‘Our Sheykh Al-Mufeed mentioned that during the fourteenth day of Rabbi Al-Awwal of the year 64 AH was the destruction of the atheist, the accursed Yazeed Bin Muawiya-la, may Allah-azwj Cure him-la. I say it is deserving to be fasted as thanking upon it’’.[62]
باب 96 أعمال خصوص يوم مولد النبي ص و هو على المشهور اليوم السابع عشر من هذا الشهر و ما يتعلق بذلك
CHAPTER 96 – ACTS OF WORSHIP SPECIFIC TO THE DAY OF BIRTH OF THE PROPHET-saww, AND IT IS UPON THE WELL-KNOWN AS 17TH OF THIS MONTH, AND WHAT IS RELATED TO THAT
أقول: قد أوردنا أخبار هذا الباب و أعماله في كتاب أحوال النبي ص و كتاب الطهارة و الصلاة و الصوم و المزار و غيرها.
I say, ‘We have referred to reports of this chapter and its acts of worship in ‘Kitab Ahwal Al Nabi-saww’, and ‘Kitab Al-Tahara, Wa Al-Salat, Wa Al-Sawn, Wa Al-Mazaar, and other such’.
1 قل، إقبال الأعمال وجدت في كتاب شفاء الصدور تأليف أبي بكر النقاش أسري بالنبي ص في ليلة سبع عشرة من ربيع الأول قبل الهجرة بسنة فإن صح ما ذكره فينبغي تعظيمها و مراعاة حقوقها.
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – ‘I found in the book ‘Shifa Al Sudour’ compiled by Abu Bakr Al-Naqqash, there was an ascension with the Prophet-saww during the night of 17th of Rabbi Al-Awwal a year before the Hijrah. If it is correct what he mentioned it is befitting to revere it and take care of its rights’’.[63]
2 قل، إقبال الأعمال اعلم أننا ذكرنا في كتاب التعريف للمولد الشريف ما عرفناه من اختلاف أعيان الإمامية في وقت هذه الولادة المعظمة النبوية و قلنا إن الذين أدركناهم من العلماء كان عملهم على أن ولادته المقدسة صلوات الله عليه و على الحافظين لأمره أشرقت أنوارها يوم الجمعة السابع عشر من شهر ربيع الأول في عام الفيل عند طلوع فجره
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – ‘Know that we have mentioned in the book Al Tareef Lil Mawlid Al Shareef what we have learned regarding the differing opinions among prominent Imamite scholars about the timing of this Holy birth, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww. We stated that the scholars we encountered held that his-saww sacred birth, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him and upon those who safeguard His-azwj Command, illuminated the world on Friday, the 17th of Rabbi Al-Awwal in the year of the Elephant at the emergence of dawn.
و إن صومه يعدل عند الله جل جلاله صيام سنة هكذا وجدت في بعض الروايات أن صومه يعدل هذا المقدار من الأوقات
It is reported that fasting on this day is equivalent, in the Presence of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His‑azwj Majesty, to fasting for an entire year. This is what I found in some narrations that fasting on this day carries a measurement of the timings.
فإن كان هذا الحديث ناشئا عن نقل عنه ص فربما يكون له تأويل يعتمد عليه و إلا فالعقل و النقل يقتضيان أن يكون فضل صوم هذا اليوم العظيم المشار إليه على قدر تعظيم الله جل جلاله لهذا اليوم المقدس و فوائد المولود فيه صلوات الله و سلامه عليه إلا أن يكون معنى قولهم ع يعدل عند الله جل جلاله صيام سنة فيكون تلك السنة لها من الوصف و الفضل ما لم يبلغ سائر السنين إليه فهذا تأويل محتمل ما يمنع العقل من الاعتماد عليه
If this narration originates from a reliable transmission traceable to him-saww, it might have an interpretation upon which it relies. Otherwise, reason and transmission both indicate that the merit of fasting on this great day aligns with the reverence of Allah-azwj, Majestic is His-azwj Majesty, of this sacred day and the immense blessings of the one born therein, may the Salawaat of Allah-azwj be upon him-saww. It could also mean that the statement “it is equivalent to fasting for a year” refers to a specific year distinguished by qualities and merits beyond other years. This interpretation is plausible and does not contradict the reason to be relying upon it.
و سوف نذكر من كلام شيوخنا في وظائف اليوم السابع عشر ما ذكره شيخنا المفيد رضوان الله عليه فقال في كتاب حدائق الرياض و زهرة المرتاض و نور المسترشد ما هذا لفظه السابع عشر منه مولد سيدنا رسول الله ص عند طلوع الفجر من يوم الجمعة عام الفيل- و هو يوم شريف عظيم البركة و لم تزل الشيعة على قديم الأوقات تعظمه و تعرف حقه و ترعى حرمته و تتطوع بصيامه
We will also mention what our senior scholars have said regarding the acts of worship on the 17th of Rabbi al-Awwal. For instance, our teacher Al-Mufeed, may Allah-azwj Mercy him, stated in his book Hadaiq Al Riyaz wa Zaharat Al-Murtaaz and Nur Al-Mustarshid the following: ‘The 17th of Rabi’ Al-Awwal is the birth of our master, Rasool-Allah-saww at dawn on a Friday in the Year of the Elephant. It is a noble and highly Blessed day. The Shia, since ancient times, have continued to venerate it, recognise its due significance, observe its sanctity, and voluntarily fast on this day.
وَ قَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ أَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى مِنْ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ع أَنَّهُمْ قَالُوا مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمَ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ مَوْلِدِ سَيِّدِنَا رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ص كُتِبَ لَهُ صِيَامُ سَنَةٍ.
And it is reported from the Imams-asws of guidance from Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, they‑asws said: ‘One who fasts the 17th day of Rabbi Al-Awwal, and it is a day of coming to the world of our chief Rasool-Allah-saww, it will be written for him as having fasted for a year’’.
و يستحب فيه الصدقة و الإلمام بمشاهد الأئمة ع و التطوع بالخيرات و إدخال السرور على أهل الإيمان و قال شيخنا المفيد في كتاب التواريخ الشرعية نحو هذه الألفاظ و المعاني المرضية.
And it is recommended to give the charity in it and the visiting the shrines of the Imams-asws, and volunteer with the good deeds, and enter the cheerfulness upon the people of Eman, and our sheykh Al-Mufeed said in ‘Kitab Al-Tawareekh Al-Sharia’ approximate to this wording, and the meaning is satisfactory.
أقول إن الذي ذكره شيخنا المفيد على سبيل الجملة دون التفصيل و الذي أقوله إنه ينبغي أن يكون تعظيم هذا اليوم الجميل على قدر تعظيم الرسول الجليل المقدم على كل موجود من الخلائق المكمل في السوابق و الطرائق فمهما عملت فيه من الخيرات و عرفت فيه من المبرات و المسرات فالأمر أعظم منه و هيهات أن تعرف قدر هذا اليوم و إن الظاهر العجز منه.
I say that what our teacher Al-Mufeed mentioned is a general statement without delving into specifics. What I assert is that the reverence for this beautiful day should correspond to the exalted status of the noble Rasool-saww, the foremost among all creation and the most perfect in past virtues and present paths. No matter how much goodness is performed on this day, how many acts of charity and joy are expressed, the occasion surpasses all efforts. Indeed, it is far beyond human ability to comprehend the true magnitude of this day, and apparent is our inability to fully grasp it’.[64]
3- قل، إقبال الأعمال وَجَدْنَا فِي كِتَابِ الْأَعْمَالِ الصَّالِحَاتِ أَنَّهُ يُصَلِّي عِنْدَ ارْتِفَاعِ نَهَارِ- يَوْمِ السَّابِعَ عَشَرَ مِنْ رَبِيعٍ الْأَوَّلِ رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَقْرَأُ فِي كُلِّ رَكْعَةٍ مِنْهُمَا الْفَاتِحَةَ مَرَّةً وَ إِنَّا أَنْزَلْنَاهُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تَجْلِسُ فِي مُصَلَّاكَ وَ تَقُولُ-
(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We found in ‘Kitab Al-Amaal Al-Salihaat’ – ‘You should pray two units Salat at rising of the day, the 17th day of Rabbi Al-Awwal. He should read in each unit from these Surah Al Fatiha once and Surah Al Qadr ten times, and Surah Al Ikhlas ten times. Then you should be seated in your prayer mat, and you should say –
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ حَيٌّ لَا تَمُوتُ وَ خَالِقٌ لَا تُغْلَبُ وَ بَدِيءٌ لَا تَنْفَدُ وَ قَرِيبٌ لَا تَبْعُدُ وَ قَادِرٌ لَا تُضَادُّ وَ غَافِرٌ لَا تَظْلِمُ وَ صَمَدٌ لَا تُطْعَمُ وَ قَيُّومٌ لَا تَنَامُ وَ عَالِمٌ لَا تُعَلَّمُ وَ قَوِيٌّ لَا تَضْعُفُ
‘O Allah-azwj! You-azwj are the Ever-Living who does not die, and the Creator who cannot be overcome, and the Originator whose essence never depletes, and the Near One who is never distant, and the Omnipotent who cannot be opposed, and the Forgiver who never oppresses, and the Self-Sufficient who needs no sustenance, and the Sustainer who never sleeps, and the All-Knowing who is not taught, and the Strong One who never weakens!
وَ عَظِيمٌ لَا تُوصَفُ وَ وَفِيٌّ لَا تُخْلِفُ وَ غَنِيٌّ لَا تَفْتَقِرُ وَ حَكِيمٌ لَا تَجُورُ وَ مَنِيعٌ لَا تُقْهَرُ وَ مَعْرُوفٌ لَا تُنْكَرُ وَ وَكِيلٌ لَا تُخْفَى وَ غَالِبٌ لَا تُغْلَبُ وَ فَرْدٌ لَا تَسْتَشِيرُ وَ وَهَّابٌ لَا تَمَلُّ وَ سَرِيعٌ لَا تَذْهَلُ
And the Great One who cannot be described, and the Faithful who never breaks promises, and the Independent who never becomes needy, and the Wise One who never wrongs, and the Invincible who cannot be subdued, and the Known One who is never denied, and the Trustee who never misses anything, and the Overpowering One who is never overpowered, and the Unique who needs no counsel, and the Bestower who is never weary, and the Swift One who is never inattentive!
وَ جَوَادٌ لَا تَبْخَلُ وَ عَزِيزٌ لَا تَذِلُّ وَ حَافِظٌ لَا تَغْفُلُ وَ قَائِمٌ لَا تَزُولُ وَ مُحْتَجِبٌ لَا تُرَى وَ دَائِمٌ لَا تَفْنَى وَ بَاقٍ لَا تَبْلَى وَ وَاحِدٌ لَا تَشْتَبِهُ وَ مُقْتَدِرٌ لَا تُنَازَعُ

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي دَعَاكَ بِهِ يَحْيَى فَجَعَلْتَهُ يَرِدُ الْقِيَامَةَ وَ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ مَعْصِيَةً وَ لَمْ يَهُمَّ بِهَا أَنْ تَعْصِمَنِي مِنِ اقْتِرَافِ الْمَعَاصِي حَتَّى نَلْقَاكَ طَاهِرِينَ لَيْسَ لَكَ قِبَلَنَا مَعْصِيَةٌ

وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي دَعَتْكَ بِهِ مَرْيَمُ فَنَطَقَ وَلَدُهَا بِحُجَّتِهَا أَنْ تُوَفِّقَنَا وَ تُخَلِّصَنَا بِحُجَّتِنَا عِنْدَكَ وَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ وَ مُسْلِمَةٍ حَتَّى تُظْهِرَ حُجَّتَنَا عَلَى ظَالِمِينَا

(The book) ‘Iqbal Al-Amaal’ – We found in the book ‘Mukhtasar Al-Muntakhab’ the supplication in the beginning of a month of Rabbi Al-Aakhar. You should say, ‘O Allah-azwj! You‑azwj God-azwj of all things and Creator of all things, and Lord-azwj of all things! I ask You-azwj with the Firmest Handhold, and the peak and the ultimate, and with what You-azwj Differentiated with between the lights and the darkness(es), and the Paradise and the Hellfire, and the world and the Hereafter!
وَ بِأَعْظَمِ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي اللَّوْحِ الْمَحْفُوظِ وَ أَتَمِّ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي التَّوْرَاةِ نُبْلًا وَ أَزْهَرِ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي الزَّبُورِ عِزّاً وَ أَجَلِّ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي الْإِنْجِيلِ قَدْراً وَ أَرْفَعِ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي الْقُرْآنِ ذِكْراً وَ أَعْظَمِ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي الْكُتُبِ الْمُنَزَّلَةِ وَ أَفْضَلِهَا وَ أَسَرِّ أَسْمَائِكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ الَّذِي لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْءٌ
And by Your-azwj Mighty Names in the Guarded Tablet, and Your-azwj complete Names in the Torah signifying nobility, and the most radiant of Your-azwj Names in the Psalms in Might, and the most Majestic of Your-azwj Names in the Evangel in worth, and the Loftiest of Your-azwj Names in the Quran in Zikr, and Mightiest of Your-azwj Names in the Revealed Books, and their most superior and most secretive of Your-azwj Names within Yourself-azwj which there isn’t anything like it!
وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِعِزَّتِكَ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ بِالْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مَا حَمَلَ وَ بِالْكُرْسِيِّ الْكَرِيمِ وَ مَا وَسِعَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُبِيحَ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ فَرَجَكَ الْقَرِيبَ الْعَظِيمَ الْأَعْظَمَ
And I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Might and Your-azwj Worth, and by the Magnificent Throne and what it carries, and by the Honourable Chair and what it extends, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Legalise for me from Your-azwj Presence, Your-azwj relief, the Near, the Magnificent, the most Magnificent!
اللَّهُمَّ أَتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ إِحْسَانَكَ الْقَدِيمَ الْأَقْدَمَ وَ تَابِعْ إِلَيَّ مَعْرُوفَكَ الدَّائِمَ الْأَدْوَمَ وَ أَنْعِشْنِي بِعِزِّ جَلَالِكَ الْكَرِيمِ الْأَكْرَمِ
O Allah-azwj! Complete upon me Your-azwj Ancient Favours, the most Ancient, and continue to me Your-azwj Acts of Kindness, the permanent, and constant, and Make me live by the Might of Your-azwj Majesty, the Benevolent, the most Benevolent!’
ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ وَ إِلهُكُمْ إِلهٌ واحِدٌ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ لا تَأْخُذُهُ سِنَةٌ وَ لا نَوْمٌ- الم اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ- هُوَ الَّذِي يُصَوِّرُكُمْ فِي الْأَرْحامِ كَيْفَ يَشاءُ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ-
Then read – And your God is one God! There is no god except Him; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [2:163] Allah, there is no god except He, the Living, the Eternal; neither does slumber seize Him nor does sleep [2:255] Alif Lam Meem [3:1] Allah, (there is) no god but He, the Living, the Eternal [3:2] He is the One Who Shapes you in the wombs however He so Desires to; there is no god except Him, the Mighty, the Wise [3:6]!
شَهِدَ اللَّهُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ الْمَلائِكَةُ وَ أُولُوا الْعِلْمِ قائِماً بِالْقِسْطِ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ-
Allah Testifies that there is no god except Him, and (so testify) the Angels and the ones with the knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice; there is no god except Him, the Mighty, the Wise [3:18].
اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَيَجْمَعَنَّكُمْ إِلى يَوْمِ الْقِيامَةِ لا رَيْبَ فِيهِ- ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ خالِقُ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ-فَاعْبُدُوهُ وَ هُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَكِيلٌ- اتَّبِعْ ما أُوحِيَ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ رَبِّكَ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ أَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ-
Allah, there is no god but He – He will Gather you to the Day of Judgement, there is no doubt in it; [4:87] That is Allah, your Lord. There is no god but He, the Creator of all things, therefore worship Him, and He is the Disposer of all things [6:102] Follow what is Revealed to you from your Lord; there is no god but He; and turn away from the associators [6:106].
قُلْ يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكُمْ جَمِيعاً الَّذِي لَهُ مُلْكُ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحيِي وَ يُمِيتُ فَآمِنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَ رَسُولِهِ النَّبِيِّ الْأُمِّيِّ الَّذِي يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَ كَلِماتِهِ وَ اتَّبِعُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمْ تَهْتَدُونَ-
Say: ‘O you people! I am a Rasool of Allah to you all, Who for Him is the Kingdom of the skies and the earth. There is no god except Him, He Causes to live and die. Therefore believe in Allah and His Rasool, the prophet, the Ummy (From Makkah) who believes in Allah and His Words, and follow him, so you may be rightly Guided’ [7:158].
وَ ما أُمِرُوا إِلَّا لِيَعْبُدُوا إِلهاً واحِداً لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ سُبْحانَهُ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ- فَإِنْ تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ-
and they were not Commanded except for worshipping One God. There is no god except Him. Glorious is He from what they are associating [9:31] But if they turn back, say: ‘Allah is Sufficient for me, there is no god but He; upon Him do I rely, and He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [9:129].
حَتَّى إِذا أَدْرَكَهُ الْغَرَقُ قالَ آمَنْتُ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا الَّذِي آمَنَتْ بِهِ بَنُوا إِسْرائِيلَ وَ أَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ- قُلْ هُوَ رَبِّي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ إِلَيْهِ مَتابِ-
until when the drowning faced him, he said, ‘I believe that there is no god except the One in Whom the Children of Israel believe in, and I am from the submitters’ [10:90] Say: ‘He is my Lord! There is no god except Him. Upon Him I rely and to Him is the return’ [13:30].
يُنَزِّلُ الْمَلائِكَةَ بِالرُّوحِ مِنْ أَمْرِهِ عَلى مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ أَنْ أَنْذِرُوا أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاتَّقُونِ- وَ إِنْ تَجْهَرْ بِالْقَوْلِ فَإِنَّهُ يَعْلَمُ السِّرَّ وَ أَخْفى- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الْأَسْماءُ الْحُسْنى-
He Sends down the Angels with the Spirit from His Command upon one He so Desires to from His servants that they should be warning, that there is no god except Me, therefore fear Me [16:2] And if you are loud with the speech, so He Knows the secret and the concealed (matters) [20:7] Allah, there is no god except Him. For Him are the most Beautiful Names [20:8].
وَ أَنَا اخْتَرْتُكَ فَاسْتَمِعْ لِما يُوحى- إِنَّنِي أَنَا اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدْنِي وَ أَقِمِ الصَّلاةَ لِذِكْرِي- إِنَّما إِلهُكُمُ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَسِعَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عِلْماً-
And I have Chosen you, so listen intently to what is Revealed [20:13] I am Allah! There is no god except Me. Therefore worship Me and establish the Salat to My Zikr [20:14] But rather, your God is Allah, Who, there is no god except Him He; He Embraces all things in (His) Knowledge [20:98].
وَ ما أَرْسَلْنا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ إِلَّا رِجالًا- نُوحِي إِلَيْهِ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنَا فَاعْبُدُونِ- وَ ذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنادى فِي الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ-
And We did not Send from before you, except men [12:109] We Revealed unto him that: “There is no god except Me, therefore worship Me!” [21:25] And the one with the whale (Yunus), when he went away in anger, so he thought that We will never be Able upon him, and he called out in the darkness that: ‘There is no god except Allah! Glorious are You, I was of the unjust ones!’ [21:87].
فَتَعالَى اللَّهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمِ- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ- وَ هُوَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْأُولى وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ-
Exalted is Allah, the True King. There is no god except Him, Lord of the Honourable Throne [23:116] Allah, there is no god except Him. He is Lord of the Magnificent Throne [27:26] And He is Allah. There is no god except Him. For Him is the Praise in the first (life) and the Hereafter, and for Him is the Decision, and to Him you shall be returning [28:70].
وَ لا تَدْعُ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلهاً آخَرَ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ كُلُّ شَيْءٍ هالِكٌ إِلَّا وَجْهَهُ لَهُ الْحُكْمُ وَ إِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ- يا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ هَلْ مِنْ خالِقٍ غَيْرُ اللَّهِ يَرْزُقُكُمْ مِنَ السَّماءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ-
And do not supplicate to another god along with Allah. There is no god except Him. All things will perish except for His Face. For Him is the Decision and to Him you will be Returning [28:88] O you people! Recall the Favour of Allah upon you. Is there a Creator other than Allah who Sustains you from the sky and the earth? There is no god except He, then why are you being deluded? [35:3].
ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُصْرَفُونَ- غافِرِ الذَّنْبِ وَ قابِلِ التَّوْبِ شَدِيدِ الْعِقابِ ذِي الطَّوْلِ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَيْهِ الْمَصِيرُ- ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ … لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَأَنَّى تُؤْفَكُونَ-
That is Allah, your Lord! For Him is the kingdom. There is no god except Him, so why are you turning away? [39:6] Forgiver of the sins, and Accepter of the repentance, Severe of the Punishment with Long Reach. There is no god but He. To Him is the destination [40:3] That is Allah, your Lord, the Creator of all things. There is no god except Him, so why are you deluded? [40:62].
ذلِكُمُ اللَّهُ رَبُّكُمْ فَتَبارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعالَمِينَ- هُوَ الْحَيُّ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ فَادْعُوهُ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ الدِّينَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ ما بَيْنَهُما إِنْ كُنْتُمْ مُوقِنِينَ- لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ رَبُّكُمْ وَ رَبُّ آبائِكُمُ الْأَوَّلِينَ-
That is Allah, your Lord. Blessed is Allah, Lord of the worlds [40:64] He is the Living. There is no god except Him, therefore supplicate to Him, being sincere to Him in Religion. The Praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds [40:65] Lord of the skies and the earth and what is between them, if you were certain [44:7] There is no god except Him. He Revives and Causes to die. Your Lord, and Lord of your fathers, the former ones [44:8].
فَأَنَّى لَهُمْ إِذا جاءَتْهُمْ ذِكْراهُمْ- فَاعْلَمْ أَنَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لِذَنْبِكَ وَ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِناتِ وَ هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهادَةِ هُوَ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحِيمُ
so how would it be for them when their Zikr comes to them? [47:18] So know that there is no god except Allah, and seek Forgiveness for your sin and for the believing men and the believing women [47:19].
هُوَ اللَّهُ الَّذِي لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْمَلِكُ الْقُدُّوسُ السَّلامُ الْمُؤْمِنُ الْمُهَيْمِنُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ الْمُتَكَبِّرُ سُبْحانَ اللَّهِ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ- اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَ عَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
He is Allah. There is no god except He; the Knower of the unseen and the seen; He is the Beneficent, the Merciful [59:22] He is Allah. There is no god except He; the King, the Holy, the Giver of peace, the Granter of security, Guardian, the Mighty, the Supreme, the One of every Greatness. Glorious is Allah from what they are associating [59:23] Allah, there is no god but He; and let the Momineen rely upon Allah [64:13]!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَفْواً لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ عُقُوبَةٌ وَ رِضًى لَيْسَ بَعْدَهُ سَخَطٌ وَ عَافِيَةً لَيْسَ بَعْدَهَا بَلَاءٌ وَ سَعَادَةً لَيْسَ بَعْدَهَا شَقَاءٌ وَ هُدًى لَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ ضَلَالَةٌ وَ إِيمَاناً لَا يُدَاخِلُهُ كُفْرٌ وَ قَلْباً لَا يُدَاخِلُهُ فِتْنَةٌ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for such a Pardon there wouldn’t be any Punishment after it, and such Pleasure there wouldn’t be any Annoyance after it, and such well-being there wouldn’t be any afflictions after it, and such good fortune there wouldn’t be any misery after it, and such guidance there would not be any straying after it, and such Eman Kufr will not enter it, and such a heart no Fitna would enter it!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ السَّعَةَ فِي الْقَبْرِ وَ الْحُجَّةَ الْبَالِغَةَ وَ الْقَوْلَ الثَّابِتَ وَ أَنْ تُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ الْأَمَانَ وَ الْفَرَجَ وَ السُّرُورَ وَ نَضْرَةَ النَّعِيمِ

For You-azwj are the excellent Names!
أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ بِحَقِّ هَذِهِ الْأَسْمَاءِ وَ بِحَقِّ أَسْمَائِكَ كُلِّهَا أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آتِنا فِي الدُّنْيا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ اخْتِمْ لَنَا بِالسَّعَادَةِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ فِي سَبِيلِكَ وَ عَرِّفْنَا بَرَكَةَ شَهْرِنَا هَذَا وَ يُمْنَهُ وَ ارْزُقْنَا خَيْرَهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنَّا شَرَّهُ وَ اجْعَلْنَا فِيهِ مِنَ الْفَائِزِينَ وَ قِنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ عَذَابَ النَّارِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
I ask You-azwj O Lord-azwj, by the right of these Names, all of them, to Send Salawaat upon Muhammad-saww and upon Progeny-asws Muhammad-saww, and Give us good in the world and good in the Hereafter, and End for us with the good fortune, and the martyrdom in Your-azwj way, and Introduce to us the Blessings of this month of ours, and Develop it, and Grace us its good, and Turn its evil away from us, and Make us in it from the successful ones, and Save us, by Your-azwj Mercy, from Punishment of the Fire, O most Merciful of the merciful ones, You‑azwj are Able upon all things!’
ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي خَلَقَ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضَ وَ جَعَلَ الظُّلُماتِ وَ النُّورَ ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا بِرَبِّهِمْ يَعْدِلُونَ هُوَ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ طِينٍ ثُمَّ قَضى أَجَلًا وَ أَجَلٌ مُسَمًّى عِنْدَهُ ثُمَّ أَنْتُمْ تَمْتَرُونَ-
Then read – All Praise is for Allah the Lord of the Worlds [1:2] The Praise is for Allah Who Created the skies and the earth, and Made the darkness and the Light; then (how come) those who are committing Kufr are setting up equals with their Lord [6:1] He is Who Created you from clay, then He Ordained a term; and there is a Specified term with Him; then (how come) you are doubting [6:2]!
وَ هُوَ اللَّهُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ فِي الْأَرْضِ يَعْلَمُ سِرَّكُمْ وَ جَهْرَكُمْ وَ يَعْلَمُ ما تَكْسِبُونَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلى عَبْدِهِ الْكِتابَ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ لَهُ عِوَجاً قَيِّماً لِيُنْذِرَ بَأْساً شَدِيداً مِنْ لَدُنْهُ-
And He is Allah in the skies and in the earth; He Knows your secrets (thoughts) and your open (spoken words), and He knows what you are earning [6:3] The Praise is for Allah, Who Revealed the Book unto His servant and did not Make any crookedness to be for it [18:1] Straight, for him to warn of a severe Punishment from Him, [18:2]!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَهُ ما فِي السَّماواتِ وَ ما فِي الْأَرْضِ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَ هُوَ الْحَكِيمُ الْخَبِيرُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فاطِرِ السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ جاعِلِ الْمَلائِكَةِ رُسُلًا أُولِي أَجْنِحَةٍ مَثْنى وَ ثُلاثَ وَ رُباعَ يَزِيدُ فِي الْخَلْقِ ما يَشاءُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ-
The Praise is for Allah Who, for Him is whatever is in the skies and whatever is in the earth, and for him is the Praise in the Hereafter, and He is the Wise, the Aware [34:1] The Praise is for Allah, Originator of the skies and the earth, Maker of the Angels as primary messengers, two-winged, and three, and four. He Increases in the creation whatever He so Desires to. Surely, Allah is Able upon all things [35:1]!
ما يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِنْ رَحْمَةٍ فَلا مُمْسِكَ لَها وَ ما يُمْسِكْ فَلا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدانا لِهذا وَ ما كُنَّا لِنَهْتَدِيَ لَوْ لا أَنْ هَدانَا اللَّهُ لَقَدْ جاءَتْ رُسُلُ رَبِّنا بِالْحَقِ-
Whatever Mercy Allah Opens to the people, so there is none to withhold it, and whatever He Withholds, there is no sender to him from after Him, and He is the Mighty, the Wise [35:2] ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Guided us to this, and we would not have been rightly Guided if Allah had not Guided us. Rasools of our Lord had come with the Truth’. [7:43]!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي وَهَبَ لِي عَلَى الْكِبَرِ إِسْماعِيلَ وَ إِسْحاقَ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَسَمِيعُ الدُّعاءِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لا يَعْلَمُونَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ-
The Praise is for Allah, Who Gifted to me in old age, Ismail and Is’haq; surely my Lord is the Hearer of the supplication [14:39] The Praise is for Allah! But, most of them do not know [16:75] ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who Rescued us from the unjust people’ [23:28]!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي فَضَّلَنا عَلى كَثِيرٍ مِنْ عِبادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ سَيُرِيكُمْ آياتِهِ فَتَعْرِفُونَها وَ ما رَبُّكَ بِغافِلٍ عَمَّا تَعْمَلُونَ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَذْهَبَ عَنَّا الْحَزَنَ إِنَّ رَبَّنا لَغَفُورٌ شَكُورٌ-
‘The Praise is for Allah Who Preferred us over many of His Momineen servants’ [27:15] ‘The Praise is for Allah. He will Show you His Signs, so you will recognise them, and your Lord is not heedless from what you are doing’ [27:93] ‘The Praise is for Allah Who Removed the grief from us. Surely our Lord is Forgiving, Appreciative [35:34]!
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي صَدَقَنا وَعْدَهُ وَ أَوْرَثَنَا الْأَرْضَ نَتَبَوَّأُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَيْثُ نَشاءُ فَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعامِلِينَ- وَ تَرَى الْمَلائِكَةَ حَافِّينَ مِنْ حَوْلِ الْعَرْشِ يُسَبِّحُونَ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّهِمْ وَ قُضِيَ بَيْنَهُمْ بِالْحَقِّ وَ قِيلَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ-
‘The Praise is for Allah who Made His Promise to be true to us and Made us inherit the land that we may settle in the Paradise wherever we so desire to, so best is the Recompense of the workers’ [39:74] And you shall see the Angels surrounding the Throne Glorifying with the Praise of their Lord, it shall be Judged between them with the Truth, and it shall be said: ‘The Praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds [39:75]!
فَلِلَّهِ الْحَمْدُ رَبِّ السَّماواتِ وَ رَبِّ الْأَرْضِ رَبِّ الْعالَمِينَ- وَ لَهُ الْكِبْرِياءُ فِي السَّماواتِ وَ الْأَرْضِ وَ هُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ- الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً-
So, for Allah is the Praise, Lord of the skies and Lord of the earth, Lord of the worlds [45:36] And for Allah is the Greatness in the skies and the earth, and He is the Mighty, the Wise [45:37] ‘The Praise is for Allah, Who did not Take a son, and there does not happen to be an associate for Him in the Kingdom, and there does not happen to be a Guardian for Him from the disgrace, and exclaim His Greatness with exclamations’ [17:111]!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ تَدَارَكْنِي فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي وَ قَوِّ ضَعْفِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقْتَنِي لَهُ وَ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ الْإِيمَانَ وَ زَيِّنْهُ فِي قَلْبِي وَ قَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَاسْتَجِبْ لِي كَمَا وَعَدْتَنِي
O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me what has passed from my sins and Guide me in what remains from my lifetime, and Strengthen my weakness for that which You-azwj have Created me for, and Cause the Eman to be beloved to me, and Adorn it in my heart, and I am supplicating to You‑azwj just as You-azwj have Commanded me, so Answer for me just as You-azwj has Promised me!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَصْبَحْتُ لَكَ عَبْداً لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ دَفْعَ مَا أَكْرَهُ وَ لَا أَمْلِكُ مَا أَرْجُو وَ أَصْبَحْتُ مُرْتَهَناً بِعَمَلِي فَلَا فَقِيرَ أَفْقَرُ مِنِّي يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! I have become a servant of Yours-azwj not being capable to repel what I dislike, nor can I control what I am hoping for, and I have become pledged with my deeds, so there is no poor one poorer than me, O Lord-azwj of the worlds!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَسْتَعْمِلَنِي عَمَلَ مَنِ اسْتَيْقَنَ حُضُورَ أَجَلِهِ- لَا بَلْ عَمَلَ مَنْ قَدْ مَاتَ فَرَأَى عَمَلَهُ وَ نَظَرَ إِلَى ثَوَابِ عَمَلِهِ إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
I ask You-azwj to Utilise me for deeds of the one who is certain of the presence of his death! No, but deeds of one who has already died and sees his deeds and looks at the Rewards of his deeds, You-azwj are Able upon all things!
اللَّهُمَّ هَذَا مَكَانُ الْعَائِذِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ عَذَابِكَ وَ هَذَا مَكَانُ الْعَائِذِ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ
O Allah-azwj! This is a place of the seeking refuge with Your-azwj Mercy from Your-azwj Punishment, and this is a place of the one seeking Refuge with Your-azwj Pardon from your Wrath!
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِمَّنْ دَعَاكَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ وَ سَأَلَكَ فَأَعْطَيْتَهُ وَ آمَنَ بِكَ فَهَدَيْتَهُ وَ تَوَكَّلَ عَلَيْكَ فَكَفَيْتَهُ وَ تَقَرَّبَ إِلَيْكَ فَأَدْنَيْتَهُ وَ افْتَقَرَ إِلَيْكَ فَأَغْنَيْتَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Make me from the ones who supplicated to You-azwj so You-azwj Answered him, and he requested You-azwj Granted him, and he believed in You-azwj so You-azwj Guided him, and he relied upon You-azwj so You-azwj Sufficed him, and he drew closer to You-azwj so You-azwj Drew him closer, and he was poor (needy) to You-azwj so You-azwj Enriched him!
وَ اسْتَغْفَرَكَ فَغَفَرْتَ لَهُ وَ رَضِيتَ عَنْهُ وَ أَرْضَيْتَهُ وَ هَدَيْتَهُ إِلَى مَرْضَاتِكَ وَ اسْتَعْمَلْتَهُ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ لِذَلِكَ فَرَّغْتَهُ أَبَداً مَا أَحْيَيْتَهُ فَتُبْ عَلَيَّ يَا رَبِّ وَ أَعْطِنِي سُؤْلِي وَ لَا تَحْرِمْنِي شَيْئاً مِمَّا سَأَلْتُكَ وَ اكْفِنِي شَرَّ مَا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
And he sought Your-azwj Forgiveness so You-azwj Forgave him and were Pleased with him and Satisfied him and Guided him to Your-azwj Satisfaction and Utilised him in obedience to You‑azwj, and for that (reason) You-azwj Freed him forever for as long as You-azwj Caused him to live. So, Turn to me, O Lord-azwj, and Grant me my request and do not Deprive me of anything from what I request You-azwj, and Suffice me of the evil of what the unjust ones are doing in the earth!
وَ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الَّذِي لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا هُوَ اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَ ارْزُقْنِي خَيْرَهَا وَ كَرِّهْ إِلَيَّ الْكُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوقَ وَ الْعِصْيَانَ وَ اجْعَلْنِي مِنَ الرَّاشِدِينَ
And I seek Forgiveness of Allah-azwj Who, there is no god except He-azwj Who no one forgives the sins except He-azwj Allah-azwj! Send Salawaat upon Muhammad saww and upon Progeny-asws of Muhammad-saww, and Assist me upon the world and Provide me its goodness, and Cause the Kufr to be abhorrent to me, and the corruption and the disobedience, and Make me from the ones rightfully guided!
اللَّهُمَّ قَوِّنِي لِعِبَادَتِكَ وَ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي فِي طَاعَتِكَ وَ بَلِّغْنِيَ الَّذِي أَرْجُو مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ
O Allah-azwj! Strengthen me for worshipping You-azwj and Utilise me in Your-azwj obedience, and Make me reach what I am hoping for from Your-azwj Mercy, O the most Merciful of the merciful ones!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الرِّيَّ يَوْمَ الظَّمَاءِ وَ النَّجَاةَ يَوْمَ الْفَزَعِ الْأَكْبَرِ وَ الْفَوْزَ يَوْمَ الْحِسَابِ وَ الْأَمْنَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْخَوْفِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ النَّظَرَ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ الْخُلُودَ فِي جَنَّتِكَ فِي دَارِ الْمُقَامَةِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَ السُّجُودَ يَوْمَ يُكْشَفُ عَنْ ساقٍ وَ الظِّلَّ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّكَ وَ مُرَافَقَةَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ وَ أَوْلِيَائِكَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for the saturation/satiety on the Day of thirst, and the salvation on the Day of the greatest panic, and for the success on the Day of Reckoning, and the security on the Day of fear; and I ask You-azwj for the looking at Your-azwj Benevolent Face and the eternality for me in Your-azwj Paradise in the house of residence, from Your-azwj Grace, and (I ask for) the Sajdah on the Day it shall be uncovered from the base, and the shade on the Day there will be no shade except Your-azwj Shade, and friendship of Your-azwj Prophets-as and Your-azwj Messengers-as, and Your-azwj Guardians-asws!
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا قَدَّمْتُ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي- وَ مَا أَخَّرْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَرْتُ وَ مَا أَعْلَنْتُ وَ مَا أَسْرَفْتُ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَ مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي وَ ارْزُقْنِي التُّقَى وَ الْهُدَى وَ الْعَفَافَ وَ الْغِنَى وَ وَفِّقْنِي لِلْعَمَلِ بِمَا تُحِبُّ وَ تَرْضَى
O Allah-azwj! Forgive for me what has preceded from my sins, and what I have delayed, and what I have kept secret, and what I have announced, and what I have been extravagant with upon myself, and what You-azwj are more Knowing with than me, and Grace me the piety, and the guidance, and the chastity, and the self-sufficiency, and Harmonise me for the deeds with what You-azwj and are Pleased with!
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي وَ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي إِلَيْهَا مُنْقَلَبِي وَ اجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَ اجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ
O Allah-azwj! Rectify for me my religion which is a protection of my affairs, and Rectify for me my world in which is my livelihood, and Rectify for me my Hereafter to which is my transfer, and Make the life to be increased to me in every goodness, and Make the death a comfort for me from every evil!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا رَبَّ الْأَرْبَابِ وَ يَا سَيِّدَ السَّادَاتِ وَ يَا مَالِكَ الْمُلُوكِ أَنْ تَرْحَمَنِي وَ تَسْتَجِيبَ لِي وَ تُصْلِحَنِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُصْلِحُ مَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِكَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj, O Lord-azwj of the lords, and O Chief of the chiefs, and O Owner of the kingdoms, to have Mercy upon me and Answer for me and Rectify me, for no one can Rectify one from Your-azwj servants who is rectified, except You-azwj!
فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ رَبِّي وَ ثِقَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَوْلَايَ وَ مَلْجَئِي وَ لَا رَاحِمَ لِي غَيْرُكَ وَ لَا مُغِيثَ لِي سِوَاكَ وَ لَا مَالِكَ سِوَاكَ وَ لَا مُجِيبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ الْخَاطِئُ الَّذِي وَسِعَتْهُ رَحْمَتُكَ وَ أَنْتَ الْعَالِمُ بِحَالِي وَ حَاجَتِي وَ كَثْرَةِ ذُنُوبِي وَ الْمُطَّلِعُ عَلَى أُمُورِي كُلِّهَا
Surely, You-azwj are my Lord-azwj, and my Trust, and my Hope, and my Master, and my Shelter, and there is no one showing mercy to me apart from You-azwj nor is there any Helper for me besides You-azwj, nor any owner besides You-azwj, nor any responder except You-azwj! I am Your‑azwj servant and son of Your-azwj servant and son of Your-azwj maid, the wrongdoer whom Your-azwj Mercy is capacious with, and You-azwj are the Knower of my state and my need, and abundance of my sins, and are Notified upon my affairs, all of them!
فَأَسْأَلُكَ يَا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِي وَ مَا تَأَخَّرَ
I ask You-azwj, O there is no god except You-azwj, to Forgive for me what has preceded from my sins and what has been delayed (not yet committed)!
اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْباً إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ وَ لَا هَمّاً إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَ لَا حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضًى إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا وَ لَا عَيْباً إِلَّا أَصْلَحْتَهُ
O Allah-azwj! Do not Leave out any sin of mine except Forgive it, nor any worry except Relieve it, nor any need which is a Pleasure for You-azwj except Fulfil it, nor any fault except Rectify it!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ آتِنِي فِي الدُّنْيَا حَسَنَةً وَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ حَسَنَةً وَ قِنِي عَذَابَ النَّارِ
O Allah-azwj, and Give me good in the world and good in the Hereafter and Save me from Punishment of the Fire!
اللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى أَهْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا وَ بَوَائِقِ الدُّهُورِ وَ مُصِيبَاتِ اللَّيَالِي وَ الْأَيَّامِ
O Allah-azwj! Assist me upon situations of the world and ruinations of the times, and difficulties of the nights and the days!
اللَّهُمَّ وَ احْرُسْنِي مِنْ شَرِّ مَا يَعْمَلُ الظَّالِمُونَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِكَ
O Allah-azwj, and Guard me from evil of what the oppressors are working in the earth, for there is neither might nor strength except through You-azwj!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً ثَابِتاً وَ عَمَلًا مَقْبُولًا وَ دُعَاءً مُسْتَجَاباً وَ يَقِيناً صَادِقاً وَ قَوْلًا طَيِّباً وَ قَلْباً شَاكِراً وَ بَدَناً صَابِراً وَ لِسَاناً ذَاكِراً
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj for firm Eman, and Accepted deed, and Answered supplication, and sincere conviction, and good word, and grateful heart, and patient body, and a tongue doing Zikr!
اللَّهُمَّ انْزِعْ حُبَّ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَعَاصِيهَا وَ ذِكْرَهَا وَ شَهْوَتَهَا مِنْ قَلْبِي
O Allah-azwj! Remove from my heart the love of the world and its acts of disobedience and its mention, and its lustful desires!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ بِكَرَمِكَ تَشْكُرُ الْيَسِيرَ مِنْ عَمَلِي فَاعْفُ لِيَ الْكَثِيرَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِي وَ كُنْ لِي وَلِيّاً وَ نَصِيراً وَ مُعِيناً وَ حَافِظاً
O Allah-azwj! You-azwj, due to Your-azwj Benevolence Thank for the little of my deeds, so Pardon the many of my sins for me, and Be a Guardian for me, and a persistent Helper and Supporter and Protector!
اللَّهُمَّ هَبْ لِي قَلْباً أَشَدَّ رَهْبَةً لَكَ مِنْ قَلْبِي وَ لِسَاناً أَدْوَمَ لَكَ ذِكْراً مِنْ لِسَانِي وَ جِسْماً أَقْوَى عَلَى طَاعَتِكَ وَ عِبَادَتِكَ مِنْ جِسْمِي
O Allah-azwj! Gift to me a heart of intense fearing to You-azwj from my heart, and a tongue constantly doing Zikr to You-azwj from my tongue, and a body strong upon obeying You-azwj and worshipping You-azwj from my body!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ مِنْ فَجْأَةِ نَقِمَتِكَ وَ مِنْ تَحَوُّلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ مِنْ هَوْلِ غَضَبِكَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَ دَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنْ شَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ وَ سُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ-
O Allah-azwj! I seek Refuge with You-azwj from decline of Your-azwj bounties, and from Your-azwj sudden Scourge, and from transformation of Your-azwj Granted well-being, and from horrors of Your-azwj Wrath, and I seek Refuge with You-azwj from exhaustive affliction, and realising the misery, and from gloating by the enemies, and evil of the Decree in the world and the Hereafter!
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ عَرْشِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيمِ يَا وَهَّابَ الْعَطَايَا وَ يَا مُطْلِقَ الْأُسَارَى وَ يَا فَكَّاكَ الرِّقَابِ وَ يَا كَاشِفَ الْعَذَابِ
O Allah-azwj! I ask You-azwj by Your-azwj Honourable Name, and Your-azwj Magnificent Throne, and Your-azwj Ancient Kingdom! O Bestower of the awards, and O Freer of the captives, and O Liberator of the necks, and O Remover of the Punishment!
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُخْرِجَنِي مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً غَانِماً وَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي الْجَنَّةَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ آمِناً وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ أَوَّلَ شَهْرِي هَذَا صَلَاحاً وَ أَوْسَطَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ نَجَاحاً إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ.
I ask You-azwj to Extract me from the world safely, gainfully, and to Admit me to the Paradise by Your-azwj Mercy in security, and to Make the beginning of this month of mine as righteous, and its middle successful, and its end gainful, surely, You-azwj are the Knower of the unseen!’’[68]
