Prophet's  DUA AFTER THE 'NAFILAH' OF THE FAJR PRAYER. In al-Ja~fariyat: In his narration from Ja~far ibn Muhammad (saws)  from his fathers from ~Ali (saws)  that when the Noble Prophet (saws) "Holy Prophet"  had prayed two rak~ahs before the morning prayer, he laid down on his right side and placed his right hand under his right cheek, then said:

I have laid hold of the firmest handle of Allah (saws)   which shall not break off and I have clung to the strong rope of Allah. I seek refuge with Allah from the outbursts of the Arab and the non-Arab, and I seek refuge with Allah from the evil of the devils from the man and jinn. I trust in Allah. I seek the fulfillment of my needs from Allah. Allah is enough for me and He is the best Procurator, there is no power or might but by (the will of) Allah the Sublime, the Mighty.

إِسْتَمْسَكْتُ بِعُرْوَةِ اللّٰهِ الْوُثْقى الَّتِي لاَ انْفِصَامَ لَهَا، وَاسْتَعْصَمْتُ بِحَبْلِ اللّٰهِ الْمَتِينِ. أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ فَوْرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَالْعَجَمِ، وَأَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِ الإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلـى اللّٰهِ، طَلَبْتُ حَاجَتِي مِنَ اللّٰهِ، حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ ونِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ، لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.

 

 

1. Ibne Babawayah Qummi has reported from Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) has recommended to recite 70 times:-

اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ وَ اتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ

Astaghfirullaha rabbi wa atoobu ilayhi

I pray the forgiveness of Allah and I repent before Him.

2. It has been reported from Imam Jafar Sadiq (as) that whoever recites 100 times following will not encounter any unpleasantness during that day.

ماشاءَ الله كانَ ل حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله العَلي العَظيمِ 

Mashallaho kana la hawlava laquwato illa bilahil aliyul azim

 

3. Recite 11 times Sura Ikhlas, and 10 times Sura  Qadr.

4. Imam Muhammad Baqir (as) that whoever recites the following 10 times ,Allah(swt) will protect him from blindness, insanity, leprosy, distress,senility.

All Praise and Glory be to Allah, the Supreme And there is no power or power-acquiring Except through God, the High, and the Mighty”.

سُبْحانَ العَظيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ وَلاحَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلاّ بِالله العَلي العَظيمِ  

 (Subhanallahil azimi wabe hamdehiwa la hawla walaquwatailla billahil aliyul azim.)

5. Recite the following dua:In `Uddat al-D¡`¢, Shaykh Ibn Fahad reports Imam `Al¢ ibn M£s¡ al-Ri¤¡ (`a) to have said: Whoever says the following statement after the Dawn Prayer, will have all his requests made easy-to-gain for him and will be saved by Almighty Allah against every thing that aggrieves him:

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

By the Name of Allah and peace of Allah on Mohammed (saws) and His sacred progeny and I entrust my work unto Allah and verily Allah is all seeing for His creatures.

"There is no God But You, Glory to You, I was in the dark then We granted him his (Younus (s)) request and redeemed him from the panic and in like manner We redeem the believers".
Suffices Allah, how good and trustworthy and the prospective crusaders returned (as there has been no fight any longer) with grants and the grace of Allah, sins harm and injury.

Whatever Allah wishes and there be no might and force except by Allah. Whatever Allah wishes and not whatever the people wish. Suffices the Patron rather than the patronized. Suffices the Creator rather than the creatures. Suffices the Giver rather than the given. Suffices Allah the Patron of Worlds. Suffices the Sufficient from my inception, The Infinite Sufficient suffices Allah, There is no Allah but He. I trust Him and He is the Patron of the Great Arsh

11. PROPHET's DUAs AFTER THE FAJR PRAYER

From Mufid al-Dun in al-Majalis: Narrated from Abu Barzah al-Aslami from his father who said: When the Noble Prophet (saws) had offered the Fajr Prayer, he raised his voice until his companions could hear him, and said:

O Allah (saws) Set right for me the religion that You have made a safeguard for me [three times]. O Allah! Set right for me this world that You have made me live in [three times]. O Allah! Set right for me my hereafter that you have made my place of return [three times]. O Allah! I seek refuge with Your pleasure from Your ire and I seek refuge with Your forgiveness from Your wrath [three times]. O Allah! I seek refuge with You – nobody can deny to the one whom You have given, and nobody can give to the one whom You have denied, and nobody’s efforts come to fruition without You.

أَللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِيْـنِيَ الَّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لِي عِصْمَةً. أَللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْـيَايَ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَ فِيهَا مَعَاشِي. أَللّٰهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِي جَعَلْتَ إِلَيْهَا مَرْجَعِي. أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ، وَأَعُوذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ نِقْمَتِكَ. أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ لاَ مَانِعَ لِمَا أَعْطَـيْتَ وَلاَ مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَلاَ يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ.

 

 

From al-Qutb in his Da’awat: When the Noble Prophet (saws) "Holy Prophet"   had offered the morning prayer he said:

O Allah (saws) ! Grant me the use of my hearing and sight and let them stay with me till my death and show me the destruction of my enemies.

 أَللّٰهَمَّ مَتِّعْنِـي بِسَمْعِي وَ بَصَرِي وَاجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّي وَ أَرِنِـي ثَارِي مِنْ عَدُوِّي

 

From Sayyid Ibn ±aw£s in al-Iqbal: Narrated from Ja~far ibn Muhammad (saws) "Muhammad"  from his father who said in a haduth: When the Noble Prophet (saws) "Holy Prophet"   had completed his morning prayer, he would (continue to) face the Qiblah until sunrise, invoking Allah (saws) "Allah"  the Almighty i. At this time, ~Ali (saws) "~Ali"  ibn Abu ±alib would come forward and sit behind the Noble Prophet  and the people would come to seek permission to ask for their needs, and this is what the Prophet of Allah (saws) "Prophet of Allah"   had instructed them to do.

 In al-Faqih: The Noble Prophet (saws) used to say after the Fajr prayer:

O Allah (saws) "Allah" ! I seek protection with You from grief and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, turning away from the truth and idle talk of men, wasting time and negligence, vileness and cruelty, destitution and poverty. And I seek protection with You from the self that never gets satisfied, the heart that does not humble itself, the eye that does not shed tears, the supplication that is not heard, the prayer that does not benefit. And I seek protection with You from a woman who makes me old before my time, and I seek protection with You from a son who subjugates me, and I seek protection with You from wealth that is a torment for me, and I seek protection from the deceiver who conceals any good that he sees and propagates any evil that he sees. O Allah! Do not let an insolent one ever do me a favor and do not make him expect anything from me.[i]

أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحُزَنِ، وَالعَجْزِ وَالْكَسْلِ، وَالْبُخْلِ وَالْجُبْنِ، وَضَلْعِ الدِّينِ وَغَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ، وَبَوَارِ الأَيَّمِ وَالْغَفْلَةِ، وَالذِّلَّةِ وَالْقَسْوَةِ، وَالْعَيْلَةِ وَالْمَسْكَنَةِ. وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لاَ تَشْـبَعُ وَمِنْ قَلْبٍ لاَ يَخْشَعُ، وَمِنْ عَيْنٍ لاَ تَدْمَعُ، وَمِنْ دُعَاءٍ لاَ يُسْمَعُ، وَمِنْ صَلاَةٍ لاَ تَنْفَعُ (تُرْفَعُ)، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مَنْ إِمْرَأةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِي قَبْلَ أَوَانَ مَشِيبِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ رَباًّ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُونُ عَلَيَّ عَذَاباً، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ خَدِيعَةٍ، إِنْ رَأى حَسَنَةً دَفَنَهَا، وَإِنْ رَأى سَيِّئَةً أَفْشَاهَا. أَللّٰهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ عَلَيَّ (عِنْدِي) يَدْاً وَلاَ مِنَّةً.

 

 

12. It is also narrated from the Prophet of Allah (a.s.) that one who recites the following supplication before the sunrise, an angel will take it on its wings and go to the Firmament . When it arrives there, the other angels ask him what it was carrying. It says that it was carrying the supplication of a momin. The angels then pray to Allah for the acceptance of the momin’s supplication. Similarly all the angels and the people of the Firmament will pray on his behalf. This supplication is treasured with the record of the good deeds of the Momin.:-

Allaho akbar Allaho akbar kabeeran wa subhan allahi bukratan wa aseela walhamdulillahi rabbil aalameena kateeran la shareeka lahu wa salallaho ala Mohammedin wa aalehi.

and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.”

 

This supplication, which is reported from Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minun (`a) at the Night of Mabut,is said each morning and evening.

In Tahdhub al-Ahkam (by Shaykh al-±£si), it is reported that whoever repeats the following litany ten times after the Dawn Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from blindness, insanity, leprosy, poverty, and (house) demolition or dotage:

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

sub¦¡na all¡hi al`a¨¢mi wa bi¦amdih¢

All glory be to Allah, the All-great and in praise of Him;

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa l¡ ¦awla wa l¡ quwwata ill¡ bill¡hi al`aliyyi al`a¨¢mi

and there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.

Shaykh al-Kulayn¢ reports Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (`a) as saying: Whoever repeats the following seven times after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers, Almighty Allah will saved him from seventy kinds of misfortune the least of which are leprosy, and insanity; and his name will be erased from the list of the condemned ones, if it was llisted there, and will be added to the list of the happy ones:

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

bismi all¡hi alrra¦m¡ni alrra¦¢mi

In the Name of Allah the All-compassionate, the All-merciful;

لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

l¡ ¦awla wa l¡ quwwata ill¡ bill¡hi al`aliyyi al`a¨¢mi

there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.

Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (`a) is also reported to have said that one who desires to enjoy both the worldly life and the Next World, and one who has eye ache, should utter the following prayer after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers: Mp3

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد عَلَيْكَ

all¡humma inn¢ as'aluka bi¦aqqi mu¦ammadin wa ¡li mu¦ammadin `alayka

And (through them) grant me (also) The light in my eyes, the true understanding of my faith The (Divine) Certainty in my heart The sincerity in my actions and peace in my mind And spaciousness in the means of my living And gratitude unto You As long as you decide to keep me alive”.

Our master scholar, Shaykh al-N£ri, in his book of Dar al-Salam, has recorded on the authority of his mentor Fath `Ali al-Sul§anabadi that Shaykh Muhammad ¯adiq al-`Iraqi had lived in harsh poverty for a long time without finding any solution for his state until he saw, in dream, that he was in a valley where there was an enormous tent with a dome over it. As he asked about the lord of that tent, he was answered that it was owned by Imam al-Mahdi, the Awaited—the protecting shelter and the relief of the deprived ones—may Allah hasten his reappearance. He therefore hurried towards that tent and complained about his poverty, asking the Imam (`a) to teach him a supplication that would relieve him from his grief and save him from his misfortunes. The Imam, having heard his complaint, instructed him to visit the tent of one of his offspring. He therefore left the Imam’s tent and headed for the tent to which he was guided. When he reached there, he saw Sayyid Muhammad al-Sul§anabadi sitting in his prayer-place while he was engaged in uttering supplications and litanies. He greeted him and told him about his story with the Imam. The Sayyid therefore taught him a supplication that would relieve him from poverty and bring him good sustenance.

When the man woke up, he found that he had learnt that supplication by heart; therefore, he hurried to the house of the Sayyid and found him in the same state that he had seen in the dream. As if the Sayyid had already known about the dream, he welcomed the man and smiled in his face. The man hence asked the Sayyid about that supplication and the Sayyid answered him. Immediately after saying the supplication persistently, the man became so wealthy that fortune covered him from all sides.

°ajj Fath `Ali al-Sul§anabadi used to praise the Sayyid so laudably. For some time, he studied under him.
 

The following three matters were taught by the Sayyid to that man:

(1) He taught him that he, after the Dawn Prayers, should put his hand on his chest and repeat seventy times the phrase of:

O Greatest Judge

Ya fattahu

يَا فَتَّاحُ

 

(2) He taught him to regularly say the following  prayer that, as is recorded in al-Kafi, the Holy Prophet (¥) taught to one of his companions who had been afflicted by disease and poverty. Soon after that, the man recovered health and got rid of poverty. The supplication is this:

لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاََّ بِٱللَّهِ

l¡ ¦awla wa l¡ quwwata ill¡ bill¡hi

There is neither might nor power except with Allah.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ

tawakkaltu `al¡ al¦ayyi alladh¢ l¡ yam£tu

I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً

wal¦amdu lill¡hi alladh¢ lam yattakhidh waladan

All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ

wa lam yakun lah£ shar¢kun f¢ almulki

and Who has not have a partner in the kingdom,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ

wa lam yakun lah£ waliyyun min aldhdhulli

and Who has not have a helper to save Him from disgrace;

وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً

wa kabbirhu takb¢ran

and magnify Him with all magnificence.

 

 

(3) He taught him to say the abovementioned supplication, which is recorded by Ibn Fahad al-°illu in `Uddat al-Da`u, after the Dawn Prayers.

It is thus necessary to constantly say these supplications since great rewards will be given to those who do not neglect so.
