5) Supplication Enhances Longevity
Among the deeds that are stressed upon, is to pray for the early reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory prayer. The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim has supported this idea with the help of the following tradition which says, “Whoever recites the following invocation after every obligatory prayer, his life will be prolonged till he sees Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).” The invocation is as follows:

6) Another Invocation for Longevity
Allama Majlisi, in Kitab al-Salaat of Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from “Falaah al-Saael” of the renowned scholar, Sayed Ibn Tawoos, who writes, “Abu Muhammad Haroon Ibn Musa relates from Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Yaqub al-Ajali al-Kesaai, from Ali Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Fazaalah, from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hakeem, from Jameel Ibn Darraaj, who recounts, “ A man came to the presence of Imam Sadeq (a.s.) and said, “O Master! I have become old and my relatives have died. I am afraid that I too may become a victim of the clutches of death while I don’t have anybody with whom I am acquainted and can refer to him.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Surely among your believing brothers, there is somebody who is very close to you in relation. Your closeness with him is to the extent of intimacy. Yet, it is necessary that after every prayer, you recite the following supplication: If you want name them one by one, if you wish, name them separately or if you so desire, name them together.” The man said, “By Allah! I lived my life to the fullest.”

Supplication of Imam Mahdi (a.s.)

supplication Muhajjut Dawat, Pg. 182, Quoted from Mujarribat al-Imamiya, Pg. 390

FROM An NAJMUTH SAAAQIB

Incident Twenty-six: Supplication of the Imam for Dawn, Morning and Evening
The honorary Sayyid, Sayyid Ali Khan Madani Shirazi, author of Sharh Saheefah and Samadia etc., in his book of Kalimatut Tayyab wal Ghaythus Sayyab says: I saw in the writing of some of my associates from the respected Sayyids and his condition was that I heard during the month of Rajab in the year 1093 from a reliable brother, Amir Ismail bin Husain Bayak bin Ali bin Sulaiman Jabiri Ansari – may Allah display his proof – he said: I heard the noble and pious Shaykh Haji Aliya Makki say:I was involved in hard financial conditions and extreme poverty to such an extent that I feared that I might starve to death. Then I found the following supplication in my pocket although apparently no had given it to me. I was highly amazed at this.
After that I saw in dream a man in garments of worshipers and he was saying: We have gifted so and so supplication to you. Recite it and you will get rid of your poverty and hardships. But I could not make out who the speaker was. Hence, my astonishment increased.
The next time I saw the Awaited Imam (a.t.f.s.) that he was telling me: Recite the supplication, which I gave to you and teach it to all those you like.
The Shaykh says: Indeed, I have experienced the effectiveness of that supplication a number of times. After some time I lost that supplication and could not find it for some days. I was very aggrieved at it and I sought divine forgiveness for the lapse. A person came to me and said: This supplication you have missed is at such and such place. I had never thought of looking over there. So I took it and thanked the Almighty for the same. The supplication is as follows:

Source :Behaarul Anwaar, vol. 53, pp. 225-226 It should be recited for warding off sorcery; three time; if possible: three times in the morning and three times in the evening.
When a task becomes tough for one, who recites this supplication; he should after reciting it, say thirty times:

Incident Twenty-seven: Supplication Attributed to Imam (a.s.)
The great scholar, Mirza Abdullah Isfahani, alias Afandi; in the fifth volume of his book, Riyazul Ulama Hayaazul Fadhla has said in the account of Shaykh Ibne Jawad Nomani: He had seen the Qaaem and has narrated from the Imam.
I saw in some writings of Shaykh Zainul Aabedeen Ali bin Hasan bin Muhammad, caretaker of the tomb of Imam Husain (a.s.): Ibne Abi Jawad Nomani was blessed with the audience of Imam Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) and he said to His Eminence: O my master, there is a place associated with you in Nomaniyah and one in Hilla; which of them do you honor by your presence?
His Eminence (a.s.) said: In Nomaniyah on the eve of Tuesday and Tuesday; and Friday and Friday eve in Hilla, but the people of Hilla do not accord the respect it deserves.
One, who enters a place associated with me, should recite Salawat twelve times as a mark of respect for me and the Holy Imams (a.s.).
Then he should recite two rakats prayer with two Surahs and supplicate the Almighty Allah and He will give what he likes. I said: O my master, teach me that supplication. He said:

I took on a duty from Abu Mansoor Ibne Salihan and then something happened between me and him that caused me going into hiding. He asked for me and threatened me. I waited in hiding with fear and then went to the graveyard of Quraish in Baghdad on a Friday eve. I intended to spend the night there, praying and supplicating It was a windy, rainy night. I asked Abu Ja’far, the custodian, to lock the doors and make sure there remains no one, so I may pray and supplicate in solitude and be safe from the entrance of anyone, because I was fearful and did not feel safe. He did that and locked the doors. Half past the night, the winds and rains were so powerful that they made sure no one came to the place, I stayed praying and reciting Ziyarat, and worshipping. As I was like that, I heard footsteps there before the tomb of our Master Moosa (a.s.); there was a man reciting Ziyarat. He greeted Adam, and the other great prophets, peace be with them, and then the Imams, one after the other until he reached the Master of the Age (a.s.), he did not mention him. I much wondered and said perhaps he has forgotten or he does not know or maybe this is his belief.
When he finished his Ziyarat, he offered two rakats of prayers. I was fearful of him, since I did not know him. He seemed a full young man, appareled in white clothes, wearing a turban with its end coming down under his chin and going over his shoulder, with braided hair, and had a cloak with long threads at its margins on his shoulder. He said: “O Abu Husain Ibne Abul Baghal, why are you not reading the supplication of Faraj?” “And which supplication is that, my master?” I asked. He said: “Pray two rakats, and say:
This Ya Man Azhar Jammel Dua
Slightly diff version:-
Then say ten times:
Then say:

And then you ask for your desire and ask your wish and then you put your right cheek on the earth and say one hundred times
in your Sajdah:
Place your left cheek on the earth and say one hundred times: …and repeat it over and over and you say: …until you run out of breath and then raise your head. Allah will fulfil your wish through His generosity.”
As I applied myself to the prayers and supplications, he left. When I was finished, I decided to go out to Abu Ja’far to ask him about the man and how he had entered. I saw all the doors had been locked the way they were. I was perplexed much and said perhaps he had spent the night there and I had not realized. I found Abu Ja’far, the custodian. He came out to me from his room. I asked him about the gentleman and his entrance. He said: “The doors are locked as you see them. I have not opened them.” I told him about the incident. He said: “This is our master, the Master of the Age, (a.s.). I have seen him many times in the nights like this when there was no one in the shrine.” I became very sad for the opportunity I had missed. I exited near dawn and went to Karkh towards the place where I was hiding. It was but the daybreak when men of Ibne Salihan were begging to meet me and asking my friends about me.
They were carrying a written pledge of protection from the minister and a slip in his handwriting having every pleasant thing. I went to him with a trustworthy friend of mine. He rose and embraced me and treated me in a way that I had never seen from him before. He said: “Have things worsened so much for you that you had to complain about me to the Master of the Age (a.s.)? I said: “I simply prayed and supplicated.” “I saw my master the Master of the Age,” he replied, “in my dream last night.” He meant the Friday eve. “He was ordering me to do every good deed and expressed a dislike to me that frightened me.”
I said: “La ilaaha illa Allah! I bear witness that they are the truth and the pinnacle of righteousness. Last night I saw our master, while I was awake. And he asked me to do such and such things.” I explained to him what I had seen in the shrine. He was astounded. Great favors he did to me with this respect and reached a level I did not anticipate; all of this being from the blessings of our master, the Master of the Age.

Dua Faraj, which the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) taught to Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) The author says: There are many supplications, which are named as Dua Faraj:
First: The supplication mentioned in this incident. Second: Supplication, which is narrated in the book of Ja’fariyat1 from Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) when he came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) and complained to him about some need.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: Did I not teach you the words, which Jibraeel had brought as gift for me? They are nineteen words, which are written on the forehead of Jibraeel (a.s.). From them four and four are written on the forehead of Mikaeel; four are written on the forehead of Israfeel (a.s.); four are inscribed around the Kursi and three are inscribed around the circle of the Arsh. No one in distress prays through those words, and no deprived person worships through those words, and no distressed man invokes through them, and no one is fearful of a tyrant ruler or a satan, but that the Almighty Allah suffices him against everything. The supplication is as follows:





















Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) named this supplication as Dua Faraj. Dua Faraj, which the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) taught to a person for removing sorrow and poverty

---

Third: Shaykh Ibrahim Kafami has narrated in Jannatul Waqiya that a man came to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and said: O Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.), indeed, I was rich, after that I became poor; I was in health; after that I became sick; I was accepted by the people after that I became unpopular; and I was light upon their hearts; thus I became serious and previously I was happy; I fell into hardships; the earth became narrow for me due to that and I was waiting for happy times again for seeking sustenance. I did not find anything with which to gain strength; as if my name was erased from the register of sustenance.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) told him: O man, perhaps you will use the inheritance of sorrow? He asked: What is the inheritance of sorrow? He replied: May be you tie the turban on the head in the seated position and wear the lower garment in the standing position or chew at your nails or wipe your cheek with are skirt or urinate in stagnant water or sleep in the head down position.
I asked: I commit these acts.
His Eminence said: Adopt the path of sincerity and purify your conscience and recite the following supplication and it is Dua Faraj:

Fifth: Dua Faraj narrated in the book of Mafatihun Najaah of Mohaqqiq Sabzawari and its initial words being:

Third: Praying for the protection of Imam Asr (a.s.) It is an important duty to pray for the protection of Imam Asr (a.s.) from the mischief of satans from humans and jinns and seeking help, success and victory over the infidels, apostates and hypocrites for His Eminence as it is an expression of servitude and obedience of what the Almighty Allah has promised that such a precious gem, which He has nurtured in divine treasure and His power and veiled his greatness and majesty till that day, which he has considered expedient to reveal that precious gem and show the world that luminosity and included such promise in supplication; except fulfillment of servitude and expression of fondness, love, reward and satisfaction to this great divine bestowal, no effect will be seen. For sake of emphasis and eagerness, he said in supplication for His Eminence on most occasions.
The venerable Sayyid, Ali bin Taaoos in part eight of Falaahus Saael1 says: After encouragement for praying for the brothers is the excellence of praying for your ruler who is the cause of your existence and you believe that if the Imam had not been there the Almighty Allah would have created neither you or anyone of the duty-bound in his time and your time and that the grace of his existence is the cause of everything you and other than you are in and is the cause for benefits received from it. So be careful at that time beware of preferring yourself or someone else in love and supplication for His Eminence as far as possible. Maintain presence of mind and tongue in supplication for this great ruler and beware of thinking that you are saying this because His Eminence is needful of your supplication. Far from it! If you harbor such a belief, you are having a deficient faith; on the contrary what I have said was from the great right of His Eminence on you and his stupendous favor towards you and from the aspect that whenever you pray for him before praying for yourself and because he is dear to you. He will be nearer as the Almighty Allah opens the doors of acceptance before you, O the servant who is tied up due to sins.
So, when you pray for this special master before the Lord of life and death, it is hoped that through the being of that sacred existence, the Almighty Allah will open the doors of acceptance. So you would enter supplicating for self and for what you are praying in the ambit of persons blessed by Him and divine favors will surround your affairs and you would be blessed by Him. Because through supplication you hold His rope or don’t say you have not seen so and so who follows him from his teachers who act on what I say and I did not find him but that he was oblivious of our master as I have hinted. So I tell you to act on what I say that he is the manifest truth and whoever deserts our master and is oblivious as you will remember after that is a manifest mistake…and so on.
Also, in the book of Muzamir during the rituals of the holy month of Ramazan it is mentioned after supplications of pre-dawn meal from the recitations of every night: The servant in every devotional prayer ends every act of thankfulness, by the mention that he has faith that Imam (a.s.) is the deputy of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime between His servants and His lands, because he is provider of what they are needful of, for this keeper of fast, from his aims from the causes, which are related to His Eminence being the deputy of the Lord of the lords and that they supplicated and brought faith in the favor of God and His deputy (a.s.) whom he regards as worthy for this position and elevated his rank to this level.
(1Iqbaalul Aamaal, vol. 1, p. 191)
It is concluded from these words that cause of supplication for His Eminence is a ritual of servitude and fulfillment of the right of greatness and majesty and the next is removal of obstacles of acceptance and opening of the doors of kindness and bestowal.

Some of the supplications are for all times and some are for special times; a few of them are mentioned as follows:
Supplications related to Imam Asr (a.s.)
Supplication One Sayyid Raziuddin Ali bin Taaoos (r.a.) in the above book, after the about statement, says: Among the traditional reports, emphasizing praying for His Eminence is a report, which our scholars have narrated from Ibne Abi Qurra from his chains of narrators from Ali bin Hasan bin Ali bin Faddal from Muhammad bin Isa bin Ubaid from the Holy Imams (a.s.) that: Repeatedly recite on the eve of 23rd of the month of Ramazan in a standing and seated position and in every condition you are throughout that month and in every period of time possible for you. First recite divine praise of the Almighty Allah, then invoke blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (a.s.) and then recite this dua no 3 on qadr night tab
1 Iqbaalul Aamaal, vol. 1, pp. 191-192

---

In Al-Kaafi, Thiqatul Islam has narrated from Muhammad bin Isa through his chains of narrators from some righteous scholars that they said after the above explanation with slight differences that he said after praise of Allah, the Mighty and the High and Salawat on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as follows:
O Allah You be for so and so, at this hour and at every hour a guardian, a protector, a leader, a helper, a guide and a protector, so that he is at ease and lives on your earth for a long time.-Al-Kaafi, vol. 4, p. 162

---

In Misbaah, Shaykh Ibrahim Kafami after the above explanation has quoted the following supplication:
O Allah You be for Muhammad bin Hasan Al-Mahdi, at this hour and at every hour a Guardian, a protector, a leader, a helper, a guide and a protector, so that he is at ease and lives on your earth for a long time.

---

Supplication Two
Many scholars, including Shaykh Toosi (r.a.) in Misbaahul Motahajjid, pp. 409-4111 and Sayyid Ibne Taaoos in Jamaalul Usboo’,2 have through reliable and authentic chains of narrators and others than them have narrated from Yunus bin Abdur Rahman that Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) ordered to supplicate for the Master of the Age through
This supplication idfa waliyak

---

Supplication Three Also, the venerable Sayyid, Ali Ibne Taaoos (r.a.) in Falaahus Saael,1 has said that among the important post prayer litanies is to emulate Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) in praying for the Mahdi (a.s.); about whom Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) gave glad tidings to his nation in authentic traditional reports and promised that he will reappear in the last period of time.
It is thus narrated by Abu Muhammad Harun Ardbeli from Abu Ali Muhammad bin Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jamhur, uncle of his father and he has narrated from his father, Muhammad bin Jamhur from Ahmad bin Husain Sikri from Ibad bin Muhammad Madaini that he said: I came to Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) in Medina when he had just concluded the noon prayer and he had raised his hands to the heavens and said this zuhr dua no 8 under 'Dhur more'.. tab

---

I asked: Did you not pray for your own self, may I be sacrificed on you? He replied: Indeed, I prayed for the effulgence of Aale Muhammad (a.s.) and the one with precedence, the revenger by the command of the Almighty Allah from His enemies. I asked: When will his reappearance take place, may I be sacrificed on you?
He replied: Every period in which He intends, as all power and command belongs to Him.
I asked: Are there signs preceding his reappearance?
He replied: Yes, there are many signs for him. I asked: Like?
He replied: Coming out of a standard from the east and a standard from the west; and a mischief, which will descend on the people of Zora and the advent of the cousins from Zaid in Yemen and plunder of the covering of the Kaaba and whatever the Almighty Allah does what He wants. Shaykh Toosi 1 and Kafami 2 have narrated this supplication and in all places instead of have used the term:
1 Misbaahul Motahajjid, pp. 60-61
2 Al-Misbaah Kaf ’ami, p. 32

---

Supplication Four Also, the venerable Sayyid has said in that blessed book: Among the important acts to be performed after the Asr Prayer is to follow our master, Moosa bin Ja’far Kazim (a.s.) in supplicating for our Maula, Mahdi (a.s.).
Thus, Muhammad bin Bashir Azdi has narrated it from Ahmad bin Umar Katib from Hasan bin Muhammad bin Jamhur Ammi from his father, Muhammad bin Jamhur from Yahya bin Fazl Naufili that he said: I came to Abul Hasan Moosa Ibne Ja’far in Baghdad, when he had just concluded the Asr Prayer. He raised his hands to the sky and I heard him in tone:this dua 13 in 'Asr more' tab

Ref:1 Falaahus Saael, pp. 199-200

---

Supplication Five In the book of Mizmaar, Sayyid Ali Ibne Taaoos has mentioned this Dua among the supplications of the dua 3 on thirteenth of the month of Ramazan:

---

Supplication Six Shaykh Toosi has narrated in his Ghaibah pp. 273-280, from Husain bin Muhammad bin Aamir Ashari that he said: Narrated to me Yaqub bin Yusuf Zarrab Ghassani on his return from Isfahan that:
“I performed Hajj with some Sunni persons of my town in 281 A.H. When we reached Mecca, one of our companions took for us a house on rent in the Sauqul Lail Street. It was a fortunate chance that the house was a property of Ummul Momineen Lady Khadija (s.a.w.a.) and which was now known as Darul Reza and was occupied an old lady. When I came to know that the house was called Darul Reza, I asked that old lady how she was related to the owner of the house and why it was called Darul Reza? She said: I am one of the slave girls of the owner of the house and this house belongs to Ali Ibne Moosa Reza (a.s.). Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) has accommodated me in it, because I had been in his service. I was impressed by that old lady, but I did not disclose it to my Sunni friends. Whenever I returned from Tawaf at night, I slept in the verandah with them. We used to close the door and also place a huge stone behind it.
One night, I saw a lamp in the verandah where we slept. Then I saw the door being opened automatically and a medium stature, wheat complexion and physically fit young man having a mark of prostration, wearing a shirt, a wrap and wearing shoes without socks, enter and ascend to the attic occupied by the old lady. She had told us not to go up, as her daughter lived there.
When the man went to the attic, I noticed that the light present in the verandah had now reached the attic. My friends also noted this and they thought that the man was visiting the daughter of that old lady and it seemed as if he had done a Mutah marriage with her; and that this Alawite lady considered it lawful, ‘although it was not so’. Thus, we saw that man regularly, but when we checked the door, we found it closed and the stone was also intact. I became curious and I decided to ask the old lady about him. One day I said: O so-and-so, I want to ask you something in private, but I don’t get a chance as others are also present. So when you notice that I am alone, you should come down from the attic. She also said: I also want to speak to you in private, but I don’t get a chance.
I asked: What do you want to talk to me about?
She said: See, don’t mention this to anyone; he has told you not to fight with your companions and associates.
I asked: Who has told this?
She replied: I say it.
Since I was suspicious from before, I did not dare to ask anything else. I just asked what she meant by companions? (I was thinking that she was implying my present companions.). But she said: People who live with you in your house in town (and the fact was that I had regular controversies with them about religious matters).
So they complained about me and I ran away from there and went into hiding and now I understood that she was talking about them. I asked: What is your concern with Imam Ali Reza (a.s.)?
She said: I am the maid of Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.).
When I became certain that she was connected to that family, I asked her about the hidden Imam and said: I adjure you; please tell me if you have really seen him yourself. She said:
Though I have never seen him myself, because when I had left that place, my sister was pregnant, but Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.) had given me the glad tiding that I will see him at the end of my life and that I will be to him same as I was to Imam Hasan Askari (a.s.). Then she said: At present I live in Egypt, and I have come here, because he sent a letter and thirty dinars to me with a Khurasani man unfamiliar with Arabic and asked me to perform the Hajj. I came here hoping to see him as well.
Now, I became sure that the man who frequented the attic was the Imam of the time. I took out the ten dirhams from which six were reserved for Imam Zamana (a.s.). I had initially vowed to put them at Maqam Ibrahim, but later I thought that it was best to spend them on the descendants of Lady Fatima (s.a.w.a.).
So I gave the ten dirhams to that lady and said: Give them to one, who in your view is most deserving from the descendants of Lady Fatima (s.a.w.a.). I was expecting that she would give to the man, who visited her place regularly.
She took the money to the attic and returned after sometime and said: I am not entitled to take it, you may put it where you had vowed to, although you can take change it from dirham Razavia into another currency and put it there (I did that and said to myself that whatever you are ordered was from that gentleman only).
Then I also had a copy of an epistle, which came from Qasim bin Alaa in Azerbaijan. I said to that lady: Show this copy to him, he definitely would be familiar with the writings of Imam Zamana (a.s.). She said: Give it, I am familiar with it. I showed it her and was thinking that perhaps she will be able to read it. She said: I cannot read it here.
Then she took it upstairs and then came down after sometime and said: Yes, it is correct. And I also have some good news to you, which is beneficial to you and others as well. After that she said: He is asking how you invoke blessings on your Prophet?
I replied: I do it as follows:
O Allah, bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and sanctify Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad with the best of the blessings with which You bless and sanctify Ibrahim and the progeny of Ibrahim. Indeed You are the praised one and the majestic.
She said: No, when you invoke blessings, you should mention each name separately.
I said: All right. The next day when she came down, she had a paper with her. She said: He says: When you invoke blessings on your Prophet, you should do so according to this formula.
I accepted the paper and began to act accordingly. Then on many nights I saw him descend from the attic and the light accompanied him. I used to open the door and follow the light, but I could only see a light and that person did not become visible to me, till he reached the courtyard of the Kaaba.
I also saw people of various countries visit the house and hand over their requests to that old lady. I also saw her returning them to the applicants along with their replies and spoke to them in a language, which I could not understand. I also met some of them on way back home till I reached Baghdad.

The Durood supplication, which was written by Imam Zamana (a.s.) for me is at:
Salwaat Zarrab Isphani pg
This blessed report is mentioned in some other reliable books1; it is narrated from the past scholars through numerous chains of narrators and in some of them in all the places it is mentioned: O Allah, bless…and so on. And in no report is time fixed for recitation of this supplication, except that Sayyid Raziuddin Ali bin Taaoos in Jamaalul Usboo’, Pg. 301 after the mention of effective supplication after the Asr Prayer on Friday has said:
If you leave the post prayer litanies of Asr Prayer in Friday due to some excuse, you must never omit these Salawat in any case from the aspect that the Almighty Allah has informed us about it. It can be concluded from this blessed statements that nothing is impossible from his lofty rank; as clarified in the previous chapter that the gate of His Eminence is open.

He will supplicate and say in his invocations:

There is no god but Allah, really truly; there is no god but Allah, in faith and truth; there is no god but truth devotedly and gently. O Allah! (You are) the Helper of every lone believer and the disgracer of every arrogant despot. You are my refuge when all the paths are rendered powerless and the earth straitened for me from its earlier vastness. O Allah! You created me while You were Needless of my creation. But for Your help to me, I would have been overpowered. O He Who spreads mercy from its places, O Bringer of blessings from its mines, O the One Who has specified Himself with lofty elevation due to which His friends gain respect with His respect. O the One for Whom kings become lowly, the yoke of disgrace, upon their necks and they are fearful of His dominance; I ask You with Your Name from which Your creatures fall short, thus all are submissive to You. I ask You that You send Your blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and that You fulfill for me my affair, hasten for me the salvation (through reappearance), suffice for me, grant me safety and fulfill my needs. Now! Now! Now! This night! This night! Surely, You have power over all things.”

: He said: A supplication taught by the Saaheb al-Zamaan – may the salutations of Allah, the King, the Obliger, be on him – to Abu al-Hasan Muhammd Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi al-Lais (r.a.) in the city of Baghdad in Maqaaber-e-Quraish. Abu alHasan had fled to Maqaaber-e-Quraish and sought refuge in it from being killed. He was saved from being killed due to the blessings of this supplication.
The aforementioned Abu al-Hasan chronicles: He (a.t.f.s.) taught me that I should say,

“O Allah! Calamities have developed, the matter has become known, all hopes are severed, the curtain has been raised, the earth has straitened, the sky has become prohibited; and to You, O God, is the complaint, and upon You is the reliance in difficulties and comfort. O God! Send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, the possessors of authority whose obedience You have made compulsory upon us and introduced unto us their position. So grant salvation unto us, for their sake, a quick salvation like the batting of an eyelid or even faster. O Muhammad, O Ali! Both of you suffice for me because surely you two suffice for me. Both of you help me because surely you two are my helpers. O my master! O Saaheb al- Zamaan! Refuge, refuge, refuge! Help me, help me, help me!” The narrator says: When he (a.t.f.s.) uttered “O Saaheb al-Zamaan”, he was indicating towards his (a.t.f.s.) holy chest.

: From our master al-Mahdi (a.s.): “One who writes this supplication in new utensil with the soil of al-Husain (a.s.), then washes it and drinks it, will be cured from his illness:

In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. In the Name of Allah is a medicine; All Praise is for Allah is cure; There is no god but Allah is adequate; He is the Curer is a cure; He is the Sufficer is sufficient; misery is dispelled by the Lord of the people, a cure which illness never betrays; and Allah’s blessings be on Muhammad and his chosen progeny.”
I saw in the manuscript of al-Sayyed Zain al-Deen Ali Ibn al-Husain al-Husaini (r.a.) that a man who lived in Karbala, learnt this supplication from Imam al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) in his dream. He was very ill and had complained to the Qaem (a.t.f.s.), who ordered him to write on a utensil, wash it and drink it. He followed the instructions and was cured from his ailment.

1280. Al-Kalem al-Tayyeb2
: I saw in the handwriting of some of our companions from amongst the majestic, righteous and reliable Sādāt (i.e. descendntsfrom the holy Prophet and Imams) the form of which was as follows: In Rajab (circa 1093 A.H.)I heard a brother in Allah’s way, who was a truthful master, a practicing scholar, a collection of all human qualities and holy attributes, the chief Ismaaeel Ibn Husain Baik Ibn Ali Ibn Sulaiman al-Jaaberi al-Ansari – may Allah illuminate his argument – say, “I heard the righteous, pious, Shaikh al-Haaj Ali al-Makki say, ‘I was afflicted with a problem and severity inflicted on me by an opponent so much so that I feared being killed and annihilated when I found in my pocket a supplication without anyone giving it to me. I was amazed and perplexed at it. I dreamt that a speaker in the costume of the righteous and the pious say,
‘Surely, we have granted you this supplication; you invoke through it and you will be saved from your difficulty and problem. It was not clear for me who was the speaker, which increased my perplexity. Another time, I saw [Imam] al-Hujjah al-Muntazar (a.t.f.s.) who said to me, ‘Invoke with the supplication that I have given to you. You may teach to whosoever you intend.”
Indeed, I have experienced it a number of times, and found it to provide instant salvation.
After this, I lost the supplication for quite some time, was quite upset about it and seeking divine forgiveness for my misdeeds. At this juncture, a person approached me and said,
‘This supplication fell from you at so and so place.” I could not think in my wildest of thoughts that I could misplace the supplication at that place. Immediately, (I went there), found the supplication and performed the prostration of thanksgiving. This supplication was as follows:

In the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful. O Lord! I ask Your spiritual help through which I gain strength, in whole and in part till I subdue with the premises of my soul every subduing self. So, I receive the indications of its minutes, a receiving, by which its strengths fall down, till no possessor of soul remains in the universe except the fire of my anger burns his appearance. O Powerful! O Powerful! O Possessor of Severe Strength! O Subduer! O Tremendous Subduer! I ask You of Your subduing Names that You have vested with (angel) Izraaeel due to which all the souls are subdued in front of him that You vest with me this secret right now. So that through it I make every difficult thing soft, downgrade every lofty one, for the sake of Your Strength, O Possessor of Powerful Strength!” If possible, it should be read three times before the morning prayers, three times at the time of morning prayers and three times in the evening. When the affair becomes tough upon the one who recites it, he should say thirty times after reciting it: O Beneficent! O Merciful! O the Most Merciful of all merciful ones! I ask You the grace through which destinies flow.”

: This is a great supplication from Saaheb al-Amr (a.t.f.s.) for one who has lost something or is in some need. It has a strange incident quite similar to the occurrence of the previous supplication. Hence, the invoker must recite it excessively for seeking his needs. It is as follows:

In the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful. You are Allah Who there is no god but You, the Initiator of Creation and the One Who causes their return; and You are Allah Who there is no god but You, Regulator of Affairs and the Raiser of those in graves; and You are Allah Who there is no god but You, the One Who straitens and amplifies; and You are Allah Who there is no god but You, the Inheritor of the earth and whoever is on it; and I ask You by Your Name Which when I pray through it, You answer and when I ask through it, You grant; and I ask You for the sake of Muhammad and his Ahle Bait (a.s.) and their right which You have made obligatory upon Yourself that You send blessings on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and that You fulfill My needs, right now, right now; O my Sayyed, O my Master, O my Refuge; I ask You for the sake of every Name that You have Named Yourself and You have concealed it in Your knowledge of the Unseen with You that You send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and that You hasten our liberation from this severity, O Changer of hearts and sights, O Hearer of supplications, surely You are having power over all things, for the sake of Your Mercy, O Most Merciful of all merciful ones!

O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad. Honor Your friends by fulfilling Your promise, convey them to reach whatever they expect from Your Mercy, restrain from them the evil of the one who has raised a conflict against You, revolted against Your loftiness upon the mount of Your opposition, sought help with Your support to weaken You and intended against Your plan with Your hand. But You displayed expansive forbearance so that You may punish him openly and uproot him unexpectedly. For surely, O Allah, You have said and Your word is truth, “…until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.4
“ And You said, “Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted retribution on them…5
“ Surely, according to us, the end has reached, we are angry for Your anger, enthusiastic for helping the Truth, desirous of the advent of Your affair, anticipating the fulfillment of Your promise and expecting Your threat to fall on Your enemies. O Allah! Grant permission for that, open his ways, facilitate his reappearance, smoothen his paths, expand his roads, support his armies and supporters, hasten Your evil to the unjust nation, open the sword of Your punishment upon Your arrogant enemies and seize (them) with fire. Surely, You are the Generous, the Planner.

1285. Kunooz al-Najaah2
: Narrated Ahmad Ibn al-Darbi from Khazaanah from Abu Abdillah al-Husain Ibn Muhammad al-Bazoofari who reports, “It has come from the holy presence (of Imam-e-Zamaan a.t.f.s.), ‘Whoever desires a need from Allah, he must have a ceremonial bath on the eve of Friday after midnight, come to his prayer-niche, perform two units of prayers, recite Surah al-Hamd in the first unit, when he reaches to “We worship only You and we seek help only from You”, he must repeat it a hundred times, proceed to complete it, follow it with Surah al-Tauheed once, bow, prostrate and say, ‘Sub’haanallah’ seven times in them. Thereafter, he must recite the second unit in exactly the same manner as the first unit and invoke with this supplication, for surely, Allah – the High – will fulfill his need whatever it may be except for breaking relations with his relatives. The supplication is as follows:

O Allah! If I obey You, then praise is for You and if I disobey You, then the argument stands in Your favor. From You is hope and salvation is from You. Purified is the One Who has bestowed bounties and multiplied rewards. Purified is the One Who destined and forgave. O God! If I have disobeyed You, then surely I have also obeyed You in the most beloved things unto You and that is, to believe in You. I have neither taken a son unto You nor did I invoke a partner with You, (of course) an obligation from Your side upon me and not an obligation from me upon You. And I did not disobey You, O my God, on account of treating You with disdain nor did I consider myself out of Your servitude nor on account of denial of Your Lordship. But I only obeyed my carnal desires and the Satan caused me to slip. So, the Proof and Explanation is in Your favor against me. If You punish me, it will be on account of my sin and You will not be an oppressor. If You forgive me and have mercy on me, then surely You are Generous, Noble. O Noble! O Noble!...(Keep repeating it till your breath breaks). Then say: O Security from all things and all things are fearful and afraid of You, I ask You for the sake of Your security from all things and the fear of all things from You that You send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and that You grant me security for myself, my family, my children and all those things that You have bestowed on me till I don’t fear anyone and am not scared of anything ever. Surely, You have power over all things. And Allah suffices for us and He is the best upon whom one relies. O the One Who sufficed Ibraheem against Namrood, O the One Who sufficed Moses against Pharao, O the One Who sufficed Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) against the allies, I ask You that You send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and suffice me from the evil of so and so.” Soon, you will be sufficed from the evil of the one whose evil you fear because surely, He will suffice you from his evil, if Allah – the High – wills. Then, he should prostrate and ask (Allah) for his needs and beseech to Allah – the High – because no believer, man and woman, has performed this prayer and invoked with this supplication with sincerity but that the doors of the sky have been opened for him for response and his prayers have been accepted in his time and his night, whatever it may be, and that is on account of Allah’s grace upon us and upon the people’.”

First: I have narrated it from the book Mohaj al-Da’waat and,
Second: From the book al-Adeeyah al-Mustajaabaat (accepted supplications). Thereafter, he mentions the supplications: O Owner of slaves…till its end. Then, he mentions the second supplication from the book al-Adeeyah alMustajaabaat, which is as follows:

O my God! For the sake of these who You have saved, and for the sake of these who call You in the ocean and the land, bless Muhammad and his progeny, and confer grace upon the destitute of the believers – men and women – through wealth and affluence, and upon the sick of the believers – men and women – through cure, health and comfort, and upon the living believers – men and women – through kindness and generosity, and upon the dead believers – men and women –through forgiveness and mercy, and upon the travelers of the believers – men and women –by returning them to their native places, safe and sound, for the sake of Muhammad and his progeny (p.b.u.t.).

Fifth Tab dua
O Allah! Grant us the grace of obedience, of being far from disobedience, of truthfulness in intention, of recognizing the prohibitions,honor us with guidance and steadfastness, guide our tongues to speak the right things and wisdom, fill our hearts with knowledge and cognition, purify our stomachs from the prohibited and doubtful things, restrain our hands from injustice and stealing, lower our eyes from sins and breach of trust, seal our ears from vain things and back-biting,confer grace upon our scholars with piety and admonishment, upon our students with hard-work and inclination (towards studies), upon our audiences with following and advices, upon the sick Muslims with cure and comfort, upon their dead with kindness and mercy, upon our teachers with dignity and tranquility, upon the youth with humility and repentance, and upon the women with shame and modesty, and upon the rich with humility and affluence, and upon the needy with patience and contentment, and upon the soldiers with (divine) help and victory, and upon the prisoners with freedom and ease, and upon the rulers with justice and compassion, and upon the subjects with fairness and good behavior, and bless the Hajj pilgrims and visitors to the graves of the infallible guides with provision and expenses, and fulfill whatever You have made obligatory upon them from the Hajj pilgrimage and Umrah, for the sake of Your Grace and Your Mercy, O Most Merciful of all merciful ones.

I say: The liability for mentioning the supplications narrated from him (a.t.f.s.) rests on the books of supplications. So, whoever seeks more details must refer to them and whatever has been narrated from him in al-Ghaibah of al-Shaikh al-Toosi, pp. 273 -280, Misbaah alMutahajjid, p. 284, Misbaah al-Mutahajjid of Shaikh al-Kaf’ami (r.a.),p. 406, Jamaal al-Usboo’, p. 500, etc. Blessings upon the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the infallible Imams (a.s.) and these are famous & mentioned in books of supplication prevalent amongst its followers.
Sayyed Ibn Taawoos (r.a.) writes in Jamaal al-Usboo’: “If you leave the post-prayers supplications on Friday for any excuse whatsoever, don’t leave this supplication at all for an affair which Allah – Majestic be his Majesty – has made known to us.”

SUPPLICATION FOR PROTECTION FROM DAJJAL’S EVIL It has been narrated from Ma’aaz bin Jabal that he said: One day, the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) sent me to Abdullah bin Salaam while his holiness was surrounded by a group of his companions. Abullah bin Salaam came near the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.), his holiness said:
“O’ Abdullah, inform me about those ten words which were taught by Allah (S.W.T.) to Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) on the day when he was to be thrown in fire. Have you found those words written in your Torah?”
Abdullah said: “O’ Messenger of Allah, my parents be sacrificed upon you, has anything about those ten words revealed upon you? Certainly I have seen the reward of reciting those them in Torah but haven’t come across those ten supplications which have the ‘Ism- e-Aazam’ of Allah in each one of them.”
Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Did Allah teach those words to Prophet Musa (A.S.)?”
Abdullah said: “Allah did not teach them to anyone except Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him).”
Holy Prophet said: “What have you seen regarding its reward in Torah”?
Abdullah said: O’ Allah’s Messenger, who has the power to attain such a reward”? I saw in Torah that it was written:
There is no slave upon whom the Lord has bestowed His grace by placing these words in his heart but that his eyes have been illuminated and certainty has been placed in his heart, and his chest is broadened for the acceptance of faith, and a light is allotted for him which rises from where he sits towards the sky; and the Lord praises him twice a day before the angels and grants wisdom in his tongue and blesses him with the memorization of the book, even though he might not be greedy for this reward; and he makes him a jurisprudent and scholar of the religion, and places his love in the hearts of His slaves, and protects him from the punishments of the grave, and the schemes of Dajjal, and from the great fear of the Day of Resurrection.
And God may resurrect him among the group of martyrs; honor him and bless him with the dignity and greatness which is has been bestowed by Him upon his Prophets, and such a person will remain fearless on the day when all humans will be filled with fear, and they will not be sorrowful on the day when all the people will be sorrowful, and his name will be written as ‘Siddeeq’ (the truthful) near Allah, and he will resurrect on the Day of Resurrection while his heart will be peaceful and satisfied, and he will be under the shadow of the dignified men along with Prophet Ibrahim (A.S.).
By the grace of this supplication, a worshipper will be bestowed with whatever he desires from God; and if he adjures God, God will act upon his vow, and he will be situated on the majestic position (heaven) in the vicinity of the Merciful God, and all the rewards of the martyrs from the beginning of world’s creation will be written for him.
Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.) asked: “What is meant by the majestic position?”
Abdullah says: “It means the Eden gardens and it is the place of the Almighty God and His Holy Threshold”.
Ibn e Salaam said: “O Messenger of Allah, teach us that supplication and be gracious upon us just as God has bestowed His grace upon you”.
Prophet (P.B.U.H.) said: “Prostrate before the God Almighty”.
Ma’aaz bin Jabal said: All of them prostrated, and when they lifted their heads from prostration, the holy Prophet said: “recite:
Ibn e Salaam asked: “O’ Messenger of Allah, what is the reward of he who recites these verses”?
His holiness said: “Alas! Alas! It is not possible to write down its rewards. If the angles of the seven heavens and earth come together and wish to describe it till the day of Resurrection, they would fail to mention even one part out of the thousand parts of its reward.
Then Prophet (P.B.U.H.) stated numerous rewards and attributes of these words which cannot be mentioned here due to the conciseness of this book and conclude this discussion here. [1]

THE NARRATED SUPPLICATION FROM HIM (peace be on him) FOR RESCUE FROM NARROWNESS AND DIFFICULTIES
It was said in Al-Kalamu Ttayyib: I have seen the hand writing of some of our companions among the pious and trustworthy ones: I heard in Rajab in the year 1093 A.H. from a brother in Islam, the maid of Suduq who has obtained perfection in humanity and holy attributes, he is by name Al-Ameer Ismail bn Husein beek bn ali bn Suleiman Al-Jaabiri Al-Ansari (may Allah brighten his proves) saying: I heard Sheikh Hajj Ali Al-Makki saying: I was afflicted with narrowness and difficulties and I fear the destruction of myself, later I came across a wrapped supplication in my pocket that was not given to me by any one, I was then surprise and became confused, after that I saw a pious man in my dream saying:I have given the supplication to you, so offer it you will be saved from your narrowness and difficulties, though it was not obvious to me who speaks to me in my dream, the scene that increases my surprise. Another time I saw the awaiting proof (peace be on him) and said to me: offer the supplication I have given it to you and you should teach those that are in need of it.

SUPPLICATION FOR THE RELIEF ON THE DAY OF HIS REAPPEARANCE Sheikh No’maani narrates this supplication in his book ‘Al Ghaybah’ from Yunus bin Zibyaan that Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:
When the eve of Friday arrives, Allah sends an angel towards the Heaven of this world. That blowing the dawn, that angel sits on the Throne situating himself above the ‘Bait ul Ma’moor’. Then he arranges pulpits of light for Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), Ali (A.S.), Imam Hasan and Imam Husain (peace be upon them), they ascend the pulpit, then the angles and the prophets and the believers gather around them and the doors of the Heaven opens wide.
When the time of Zuhr arrives, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) says: “O’ Lord, when will the time of the fulfillment of promises made by You in Quran come?”
(And that promise is the following verse). Thereafter, the angels and prophets recite the same supplication; then Mohammad, Ali, Hasan and Husain (peace be upon them) go in the state of prostration, and say: Allah will accept their supplication and the ‘Yaum ul Ma’loom’ is that same day.[2]

1284. Mohajal-Da’waat Muntakhabul Athar
: (In a lengthy tradition in which he (r.a.) has recorded the qunoot of the infallible Imams (a.s.), he (r.a.) says): The qunoot of our master, al-Hujjah Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan (a.s.):
Arabic ?
O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad. Honor Your friends by fulfilling Your promise, convey them to reach whatever they expect from Your Mercy, restrain from them the evil of the one who has raised a conflict against You, revolted against Your loftiness upon the mount of Your opposition, sought help with Your support to weaken You and intended against Your plan with Your hand. But You displayed expansive forbearance so that You may punish him openly and uproot him unexpectedly. For surely, O Allah, You have said and Your word is truth, “…until when the earth puts on its golden raiment and it becomes garnished, and its people think that they have power over it, Our command comes to it, by night or by day, so We render it as reaped seed; produce, as though it had not been in existence yesterday; thus do We make clear the communications for a people who reflect.4 “ And You said, “Then when they displeased Us, We inflicted retribution on them…5 “ Surely, according to us, the end has reached, we are angry for Your anger, enthusiastic for helping the Truth, desirous of the advent of Your affair, anticipating the fulfillment of Your promise and expecting Your threat to fall on Your enemies. O Allah! Grant permission for that, open his ways, facilitate his reappearance, smoothen his paths, expand his roads, support his armies and supporters, hasten Your evil to the unjust nation, open the sword of Your punishment upon Your arrogant enemies and seize (them) with fire. Surely, You are the Generous, the Planner.

1274. Misbaah al-Mutahajjid1 : Informed us a group from our companions from Abu al-Mufazzal al-Shaybaani who said, “Narrated unto us Abu Muhammad Abdullah Ibn Muhammad al-Aabed at the water-wheel the following words, ‘I asked our master [Imam] Abu Muhammad al-Hasan Ibn Ali [al-Askari] (a.s.) in his house at Saamerraa circa 255, to dictate me a blessing upon the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and his successors (a.s.) and I had with me a long sheet of paper. So, he (a.s.) dictated to me words without (seeing from) any book. {He (a.s.) said: Write}Blessings upon the Prophet (s.a.w.a.)…Thereafter, he (a.s.) mentioned the blessings upon him (s.a.w.a.) and the Imams (a.s.), one after the other, till our master, Saaheb al-Zamaan (a.s.). He said the following words (sic),

“Blessings upon the Master of the Affair, the Awaited, the Owner of the Era, Muhammad Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Ali (peace be on them all). O Allah! Send blessings upon Your friend and the son of Your friends, whose obedience You have made obligatory, made their right compulsory, kept away from them all uncleanness and made them pure as is the right of purification. O Allah! Help him and grant him victory for Your religion and help him through Your friends, his friends, his followers and his helpers and make us from them. O Allah! Protect him from the evil of every rebel and insurgent person and from the evil of all Your creatures. Protect him from the front and behind, and from the right and left. Guard him and prevent any evil reaching him. Protect Your Messenger and the progeny of Your Messenger through him. Manifest justice through him, assist him through help, help his helpers, forsake those who forsake him, destroy through him the unbelieving despots, kill through him the disbelievers, the hypocrites, and all the apostates however they may be and wherever they may be in the East of the earth and its West, its land and its ocean. Fill the earth through him with justice and dominate through him the religion of Your Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and make me, O God, from his helpers, his aides, his followers and his adherents. Show me concerning the Progeny of Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) whatever they hope and (show me) concerning their enemies of whatever they are wary. O God of Truth, Amen!”

1275. Al-Ehtejaaj1 : From Muhammad Ibn Abdullah Ibn Ja’far alHimyari who reports, “A signed letter (tawqee’) came from the holy side – may Allah guard him (i.e. from Imam Mahdi)– after a few queries: “In the Name of Allah the Beneficent the Merciful. You don’t think about His affairs. Consummate wisdom — but warnings do not avail2 the nation that does not believe. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. When you intend to turn to Allah through us and to us, then say as Allah – the High – has said, ‘Peace be upon the progeny of Yaaseen’ Peace be on you, O the caller of Allah and the nurturer of His signs…till the end of the Ziyaarah (Aale Yaaseen) and the supplication subsequent to it. Refer to the book alEhtejaaj and books of supplications and ziyaaraat. Recite his ziyaarat through it and other ziyaaraat that havecome through the Imams (a.s.) and other than them. Never leave attention to him especially in places and times in which emphasis has been laid to remember him. Also, don’t forget me in your righteous supplications, if Allah – the High – wishes.
