1.In al-Ja’fariyyaat: In his narration from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) from his fathers (a.s.) from Imam Ali (a.s.):When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had prayed two rak’ahs before the Morning Prayer,After The Naafelah: he (s.a.w.a.) laid down on his right side and placed his right hand under his right cheek, then said:
اِسْتَمْسَكْتُ بِعُرْوَةِ اللهِ الْوُثْقٰى الَّتِيْ لَا انْفِصَامَ لَهَا وَ اسْتَعْصَمْتُ بِحَبْلِ اللهِ الْمَتِيْنِ. اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ فَوْرَةِ الْعَرَبِ وَ الْعَجَمِ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِيْنِ الْاِنْسِ وَ الْجِنِّ. ‏

I have laid hold of the firmest handle of Allah 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.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللهِ طَلَبْتُ حَاجَتِيْ مِنَ اللهِ حَسْبِيَ اللهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيْلُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيْمِ.
tawakkalto a’lal laahe talabto haajatee menal laahe hasbeyal laaho wa ne’mal wakeelo laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a’liyyil a’zeeme.
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.

9.Three Supplications taught by Sayyid Muhammad al-Sultanabadi to Shaykh Muhammad Sadiq al-`Iraqi (through Imam Mahdi - peace be upon him) that alleviated his extreme grief and poverty :-
(1) He taught him that he, after the Dawn Prayers, should put his hand on his chest and repeat seventy times the phrase of:
يَا فَتَّاحُ
Ya fattahu
O Greatest Judge
(2) He taught him to regularly say the following supplicatory prayer that, as is recorded in al-Kafi, the Holy Prophet (s) 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
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ
tawakkaltu `ala alhayyi alladhi la yamutu
I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.

وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً
walhamdu lillahi alladhi 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 lahu sharikun fi almulki
and Who has not have a partner in the kingdom,

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ
wa lam yakun lahu waliyyun min aldhdhulli
and Who has not have a helper to save Him from disgrace;

وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
wa kabbirhu takbiran
and magnify Him with all magnificence.
(3) He taught him to say the dua below. In `Uddat al-Da`i, Shaykh Ibn Fahad reports Imam `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (peace be upon him) to have said: Whoever says the following dua 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:

بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ
bismillahi
In the Name of Allah.

وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وآلِهِ
wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin wa alihi
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Household.

﴿وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ

Then, We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish.

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي ٱلْمُؤْمِنينَ﴾
wa kadhalika nunji almu'minina

مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ لاَ مَا شَاءَ ٱلنَّاسُ

Only that which Allah, but not people, wills shall come to pass.

مَا شَاءَ ٱللَّهُ وَإِنْ كَرِهَ ٱلنَّاسُ
ma sha'a allahu wa in kariha alnnasu
Only that which Allah wills shall come to pass even if people detest it.

حَسْبِيَ ٱلرَّبُّ مِنَ ٱلْمَرْبُوبِيـنَ

Background of 3 Duas : Our master scholar, Shaykh al-Nuri, in his book of Dar al-Salam, has recorded on the authority of his mentor Fath `Ali al-Sultanabadi that Shaykh Muhammad Sadiq 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-Sultanabadi 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.
Hajj Fath `Ali al-Sultanabadi used to praise the Sayyid so laudably.
For some time, he studied under him. The aforementioned three matters were taught by the Sayyid to that man.

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ‏ عَرَّفَنِيْ‏ نَفْسَهٗ‏ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِيْ عَمْيَانَ الْقَلْبِ
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee a'rrafnee nafsahoo wa lam yatruknee u'myaanal qalbi
All Praise to Allah who made Himself known to me & did not make me blind hearted

All Praise to Allah who included me among the followers of Muhammad (saws)

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ رِزْقِيْ فِيْ يَدَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِيْ فِي اَيْدِيْ النَّاسِ
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ja-a'la rizqee fee yadihee wa lam yaj-a'lhu fee aydin naasi

Praise be to Allah who has kept my sustenance in His (own) hand and did not give it to other people (like me) from whom I may have to seek it.
Praise be to Allah who covers my defects and shortcomings and does not disclose my infamy among the people. Praise be to Allah, the one and only.
11.Syeda Fatima Zehra (sa) supplication after the Morning Prayer]
لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ، لَہُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ، یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ، بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْرُ، وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ.
laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul mulko wa lahul hamdo, yohyee wa yomeeto, be-yadehil khayro, wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.
There is no god, except Allah, the one, there is no partner for Him. For Him is the kingdom and for Him is the praise. He enlivens and gives death, in His hands is the good. And He is powerful over everything.
Ten times after the Morning Prayer, and ten times after Maghrib Prayer; all these would earn ten rewards, and ten sins would be forgiven each of them being equal to freeing slave from the progeny of Ismail, and no sin would be there on anyone, except the polytheist. And it is protection for you from all Satans and all evils if you recite between morning and evening
12.This supplication, is reported from Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) at the Night of Hijrah, is said each morning and evening.]

Narrated from Abi Barzah al-Aslami from his father who said: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had offered the Fajr Prayer, he (s.a.w.a.) raised his voice until his companions could hear him say the foll three times each :
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِيْ دِيْنِيَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْتَهٗ لِيْ عِصْمَةً.
allaahumma asleh lee deeneyal lazee ja-a’ltahu lee i’smatan.
O Allah! Set right for me the religion that You have made a safeguard for me.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِيْ جَعَلْتَ فِيْهَا مَعَاشِيْ.
allaahumma asleh lee dunyaayal latee ja-a’lta feehaa ma-a’ashee.
O Allah! Set right for me this world that You have made me live in.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِيْ آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِيْ جَعَلْتَ اِلَيْهَا مَرْجَعِيْ.
allaahumma asleh lee aakherateyal latee ja-a’lta elayhaa marja-e’e.
O Allah! Set right for me my hereafter that you have made my place of return.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ نِقْمَتِكَ.
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo berezaaka min sakhateka wa a-o’ozo be-a’fweka min niqmateka.
O Allah! I seek refuge with Your pleasure from Your ire and I seek refuge with Your forgiveness from Your wrath.
THEN
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا اَعْطَيْتَ وَ لَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ.
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka laa maane-a’ lemaa a-a’tayta wa laa mo’teya lemaa mana’ta wa laa yanfa-o’ zal jadde minkaljaddo.
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.

From al-Qutb in his Da’waat: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had offered the Morning Prayer he (s.a.w.a.) said:
اَللّٰهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِيْ بِسَمْعِيْ وَ بَصَرِيْ وَ اجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّيْ وَ اَرِنِيْ ثَارِيْ مِنْ عَدُوِّيْ.
allaahumma matte’nee be-sam-e’e wa basaree waj a’lhomal waaresayne minnee wa arenee saaree min a’duwwee.
O Allah! 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.
[2]al-Majlisi quotes it from Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 130
From Sayyid Ibn Taaoos in al-Iqbaal: Narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) from his father (a.s.), who said in a hadees:
When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had completed his Morning Prayer, he (s.a.w.a.) would (continue to) face the Qiblah until sunrise, invoking Allah the Almighty (s.w.t.). At this time, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) would come forward and sit behind the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the people would come to seek permission to ask for their needs, and this is what the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) had instructed them to do.[3]Iqbaal al-Aamaal, p. 320; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 35, p. 289
14.In al-Faqeeh: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to say after the Fajr prayer:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحُزْنِ وَ الْعَجْزِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْجُبْنِ وَ ضَلْعِ الدَّيْنِ وَ غَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ وَ بَوَارِ الْاَيَّمِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ الْعَيْلَةِ وَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka menal hamme wal huzne wal a’jze wal kasale wal bukhle wal jubne wa zal-i’d dayne wa ghalabatir rejaale wa bawaaril ayyaame wal ghaflate waz zillate wal qaswate wal a’ylate wal maskanate
O 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.

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ (تُرْفَعُ)
wa a-o’ozo beka min nafsin laa tashba-o’ wa min qalbin laa yakhsha-o’ wa min a’ynin laa tadma-o’ wa min do-a’a-in laa yusma-o’ wa min salaatin laa tanfa-o’ (turfa-o’)
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.

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنِ امْرَاَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِيْ قَبْلَ اَوَانَ مَشِيْبِيْ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ رِبًّا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابًا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ خَدِيْعَةٍ اِنْ رَاَى حَسَنَةٍ دَفَنَهَا وَ اِنْ رَاَىْ سَيِّئَةً اَفْشَاهَا.
wa a-o’ozo beka menim ra-atin toshayyebonee qabla awaana masheebee wa a-o’ozo beka min waladin yakoono a’layya ribban wa a-o’ozo beka min maalin yakoono a’layya a’zaaban wa a-o’ozo beka min saahebe khadee-a’tin in ra-ay hasanatin da-fa-nahaa wa in ra-ay sayye-atan afshaahaa.
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.

اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ عَلَیَّ (عِنْدِيْ) يَدًا وَ لَا مِنَّةً.‏
allahumma laa taj-a’l le-faajerin a’layya (i’ndee) yadan wa laa minnatan.
O Allah! Do not let an insolent one ever do me a favor and do not make him expect anything from me.

15.Six verses to protect from Adversity Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever recites these six verses every morning, Allah will protect them from any adversity, even if they were already in danger.”
Bihar al-Anwar, Vol.83. Pg.337
*قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّـهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ*
"Say, ‘Nothing will befall us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Master, and in Allah let the faithful trust.'"(al-Tawbah, 9:51)

*وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ*
"And if Allah should touch you with affliction, none can remove it save He; and if He intends for you good, none can hold back His Bounty. He causes it to reach whomsoever He wills among His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Yunus, 10:107)

*وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ*
"And there is no creature on earth but that its sustenance lies with Allah, and He knows its [enduring] abode and its temporary place of lodging. All is in a manifest Book."Hud, 11:6)

*وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّـهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ*
"And how many a creature bears not its own provision, yet God provides for it and for you? And He is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing."(al-'Ankabut, 29:60)

*مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّـهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ*
"Whatever mercy Allah unfolds for mankind, none shall withhold. And whatever he withholds, none shall release thereafter. And He is the Almighty, the Wise."(al-Fatir, 35:2)

*وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّـهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ*
"And were you to ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would surely say, 'Allah.' Say, ‘Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? Should Allah desire some harm for me, can they remove His Harm? Or, should He desire some mercy for me, can they withhold His Mercy?’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. In Him, let the trusting put their trust.’" (al-Zumar, 39:38)

*After reciting above verses say:*
*حسْبِیَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَیْهِ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیمِ‏ وَأَمْتَنِعُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ وَقُوَّتِهِمْ وَأَسْتَشْفِعُ‏ بِرَبِّ‏ الْفَلَقِ‏ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ‏ وَأَعُوذُ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیمِ.*
"Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god except Him. In Him, I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne. I seek protection in Allah's Power and Strength from that of others, and I ask the intercession of the Lord of the Daybreak from the evil of what He has created. I seek refuge in what Allah wills; there is no power except with Allah, the Exalted, the Magnificent.'"
