In ‘al-Kafi’, Shaykh al-Kulayniy has reported Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) to recite:


أَعُوذُ بِجَلالِ وَجْهِكَ الكَرِيمِ
a`udhu bijalali wajhika alkarimi
I seek the protection of the Majesty of Your Honorable Face

أَنْ يَنْقَضِيَ عَنّي شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ
an yanqadhiya `anni shahru ramadhana
against that the month of Ramadhan elapses

أَوْ يَطْلُعَ الفَجْرُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِي هذِهِ
aw yathlu`a alfajru min laylaty hadhihi
Or dawn puts an end to this night

وَلَكَ قِبَلِي تَبِعَةٌ أَوْ ذَنْبٌ تُعَذّبُنِي عَلَيْهِ.
wa laka qibaly tabi`atun aw dhanbun tu`adhdhibuny `alayhi
but there is still an offense or a sin for which I am still liable and for which You will punish me.





In ’al-Balad al-Amin’, al-Kaf`amiy has mentioned that Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) used to say the following after Salat:



اللّهُمّ أَدّ عَنَّا حَقّ مَا مَضَى مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ،
allahumma addi `anna haqqa ma madha min shahri ramadhana
O Allah: (please) help us fulfill the right of the past days of the month of Ramadhan,

وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا تَقْصِيرَنَا فِيهِ
waghfir lana taqsirana fihi
And forgive us our shortcoming during it,

وَتَسَلّمْهُ مِنَّا مَقْبُولاً،
wa tasallmhu minna maqbulan
And receive it from us with acceptance,

وَلا تُؤَاخِذْنَا بِإِسْرَافِنَا عَلَى أَنْفُسِنَا،
wa la tu´akhidhna bi-israfina `ala anfusina
And do not blame us for our extravagance in our affairs,

وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنَ المَرْحُومِينَ
waj`alna mina almarhumina
And include us with those upon whom mercy is had,

وَلا تَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ المَحْرُومِينَ.
wa la taj`alna mina almahrumina
And do not include us with those deprived (of the awards of Ramadhan).





In ‘Iqbal al-A`mal’ Sayyid Ibn Tawus has narrated on the authority of Ibn Abi-`Umayr on the authority of Murazim that Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s) used to say the following at each of the last ten nights of Ramadhan



اللّهُمّ إِنّكَ قُلْتَ فِي كِتَابِكَ المُنْزَلِ:
allahumma innaka qulta fi kitabika almunzali:
O Allah: You have said in Your revealed Book:

(شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ الّذِي أُنْزِلَ فِيهِ القُرْآنُ
(shahru ramadhana alladhy ‘unzila fihi alqur’anu
“The month of Ramadhan is that in which the Qur'an was revealed,

هُدَىً لِلنَّاسِ وَبَيّنَاتٍ مِنَ الهُدَى وَالفُرْقَانِ)
hudan lilnnasi wa bayyinatin mina alhuda wal-furqani)
a guidance to men and clear proofs of the guidance and the distinction.”

فَعَظّمْتَ حُرْمَةَ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ
fa-`azzamta hurmata shahri ramadhana
You have thus rendered great the sanctity of this month of Ramadhan,

بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ القُرْآنِ
bima anzalta fihi mina alqur’ani
Because You revealed the Qur'an in it,

وَخَصَصْتَهُ بِلَيْلَةِ القَدْرِ
wa khasastahu bilaylati alqadri
And You decided the Grand Night to be in this month exclusively,

وَجَعَلْتَهَا خَيْراً مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْرٍ.
wa ja`altaha khayran min alfi shahrin
And You made it better than one thousand months.

اللّهُمّ وَهذِهِ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ قَدِ انْقَضَتْ،
allahumma wa hadhihi aiyyamu shahri ramadhana slat a’ukhra qadi anqadhat
O Allah: the days of the month of Ramadhan are elapsing,

وَلَيَالِيهِ قَدْ تَصَرّمَتْ،
wa layalihi qad tasarramat
And its nights are also elapsing,

وَقَدْ صِرْتُ يَا إِلهِي مِنْهُ إِلَى مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنّي
wa qad sirtu ya ilahy minhu ila ma anta a`lamu bihi minny
While I have become in the state that You, O my God, know better than I do,

وَأَحْصَى لِعَدَدِهِ مِنَ الخَلْقِ أَجْمَعِينَ،
wa ahsa li`adadihi mina alkhalqi ajma`ina
And You can count it more precisely than all the created beings.

فَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا سَأَلَكَ بِهِ مَلائِكَتُكَ المُقَرّبُونَ،
fa-as’aluka bima salaka bihi mala’ikatuka almuqarrabuna
So, I beseech You in the name of that by which Your favorite angels,

وَأَنْبِيَاؤُكَ المُرْسَلُونَ،
wa anbiya’uka almursaluna
And Your missioned Prophets,

وَعِبَادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ
wa `ibaduka alssalihuna
And Your righteous servants have besought You,

أَنْ تُصَلّيَ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ
an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
That You may bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

وَأَنْ تَفُكّ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ النَّارِ،
wa an tafukka raqabaty mina alnnari
And You may release me from Hellfire,

وَتُدْخِلَنِي الجَنّةَ برَحْمَتِكَ،
wa tudkhilany aljannata brahmatika
And allow me to enter Paradise, by Your mercy,

وَأَنْ تَتَفَضّلَ عَلَيّ بِعَفْوِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ،
wa an tatafadhdhala `alayya bi`afwika wa karamika
And confer upon me with Your pardon and Your generosity,

وَتَتَقَبّلَ تَقَرّبِي،
wa tataqabbala taqarrubi
And accept my seeking of nearness to You,

وَتَسْتَجِيبَ دُعَائِي،
wa tastajiba du`a’y
And respond to my prayer,

وَتَمُنّ عَلَيّ بِالأَمْنِ يَوْمَ الخَوْفِ
wa tamunna `alayya bil-amni yawma alkhawfi
And bestow upon me with security on the Day of Dread

مِنْ كُلّ هَوْلٍ أَعْدَدْتَهُ لِيَوْمِ القِيَامَةِ.
min kulli hawlin a`dadtahu liyawmi alqiyamati
Against all the horrors that You have prepared for the Resurrection Day.

إِلهِي وَأَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الكَرِيمِ،
ilahy wa a`udhu biwajhika alkarimi
O my God: I seek the protection of Your Noble Face,

وَبِجَلالِكَ العَظِيمِ
wa bijalalika al`azimi
And Your Great Majesty,

أَنْ تَنْقَضِيَ أَيَّامُ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ وَلَيَالِيهِ

Against that the days and nights of the month of Ramadhan elapse,

wa laka qibaly tabi`atun aw dhanbun tu´akhidhuny bihi
While there is still a sin or an offense for which You may punish me,

أَوْ خَطِيئَةٌ تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَقْتَصّهَا مِنّي لَمْ تَغْفِرْهَا لِي،
aw khathyiatun turidu an taqtassaha minny lam taghfirha li
Or a wrongdoing for which You want to chastise me; and You have not yet forgiven them for me,

سَيّدِي سَيّدِي سَيّدِي،

O my Master; O my Master; O my Master;

أَسْأَلُكَ يَا لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ
as’aluka ya la ilaha illa anta
I beseech You, O He save Whom there is no god,

إِذْ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ

Sayyid Ibn Tawus and Shaykh al-Saduq have both narrated the following on the authority of Jabir ibn `Abdullah al-Ansari:I visited the Messenger of Allah (a.s) on the last Friday of Ramazan. As he saw me, he said, “Jabir: This is the last Friday of Ramazan. You should thus bid it farewell by saying the following

اللّهُمّ لا تَجْعَلهُ آخِرَ العَهْدِ مِنْ صِيَامِنَا إِيَّاهُ
allahumma la taj`alhu akhira al`ahdi min siyamina iyyahu
O Allah: (please) do not make it the last of our fasting in this month;

فَإِنْ جَعَلْتَهُ فَاجْعَلْنِي مَرْحُوماً وَلا تَجْعَلْنِي مَحْرُوماً.
fa-in ja`altahu faj`alny marhuman wa la taj`alny mahruman
but if You decide so, then (please) make me enjoy (Your) mercy and do not make me deprived (of it)

Verily, anyone who says this supplication will win one of the two good things; either attaining the next Ramazan or having the forgiveness and mercy of Almighty Allah.”
