عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُعْفِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ كُنْتُ كَثِيراً مَا أَشْتَكِي عَيْنِي فَشَكَوْتُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع فَقَالَ أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ دُعَاءً لِدُنْيَاكَ وَ آخِرَتِكَ وَ بَلَاغاً لِوَجَعِ عَيْنَيْكَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ تَقُولُ فِي دُبُرِ الْفَجْرِ وَ دُبُرِ الْمَغْرِبِ
Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father who from ibn abu Umayr, who from Muhammad al-Jufi, who from his father, who said:
‘I often complained about my eyes and once I mentioned it to Abu Abd Allah-asws (Imam Jafar-e-Sadiq-asws) and Imam-asws said: ‘Should I teach you a supplication that will be for the good for your worldly life as well as for the Hereafter and a cure for your eyes?’ I said, ‘Yes, please (enlighten me).’
‘Imam-asws said to recite after the Fajr and after the Maghrib (after offering prayers at these times), and say:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْكَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ النُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ الْإِخْلَاصَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ السَّلَامَةَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ السَّعَةَ فِي رِزْقِي وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ أَبَداً مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي
‘‘Ya Allah-azwj, I plead before You-azwj through the rights of Mohameed-saww and Alay Mohammed-asws with You-azwj to Give ‘النُّورَ’ (Light) to ‘بَصَرِي’ my eyes, and ‘الْبَصِيرَةَ’ brighten-up my heart with ‘Deen’ and ‘الْيَقِينَ’ certainty in my heart (with Eman) and give sincerity in my actions and protect my ‘Nafs’ (from indulgence in sins), and increase my sustenance. And bless me with the ability to thank You-azwj as long as I live.[1]
