Duas by Imam Musa AL Kazim(as)-


Imam Musa al-Kazim’s supplicatory prayer for urgent response:
Shaykh al-Kaf`ami, in al-Balad al-Amin, has mentioned a supplicatory prayer that is reported from Imam Musa al-Kazim (`a), commenting that it of great importance and it achieves swiftness in response:
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اطَعْتُكَ فِي احَبِّ ٱلاشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ
allahumma inni ata`tuka fi ahabbi al-ashya'i ilayka
O Allah, I have certainly obeyed You in the most beloved thing to You,

وَهُوَ ٱلتَّوْحِيدُ
wa huwa alttawhidu
which is Your Oneness.

وَلَمْ اعْصِكَ فِي ابْغَضِ ٱلاشْيَاءِ إِلَيْكَ
wa lam a`sika fi abghadi al-ashya'i ilayka
I have not disobeyed you in the most hateful thing to You,

وَهُوَ ٱلْكُفْرُ
wa huwa alkufru
which is atheism.

فَٱغْفِرْ لِي مَا بَيْنَهُمَا
faghfir li ma baynahuma
So, (please do) forgive me all that which lies between these two.

يَا مَنْ إِلَيْهِ مَفَرِّي
ya man ilayhi mafarri
O He to Whom is my alternative,

آمِنِّي مِمَّا فَزِعْتُ مِنْه إِلَيْكَ
aminni mimma fazi`tu minhu ilayka
(please do) secure me against that from which I have escaped to You.

اَللَّهُمَّ ٱغْفِرْ لِيَ ٱلْكَثِيرَ مِنْ مَعَاصِيكَ
allahumma ighfir liya alkathira min ma`asika
O Allah, forgive me the many acts of disobedience to You that I have committed

وَٱقْبَلْ مِنِّيَ ٱلْيَسِيرَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ
waqbal minni alyasira min ta`atika
and accept from me the few acts of obedience to You that I have done.

يَا عُدَّتِي دُونَ ٱلْعُدَدِ
ya `uddati duna al`udadi
O my one and only expedient!

وَيَا رَجَائِي وَٱلْمُعْتَمَدُ
wa ya raja'i walmu`tamadu
O my Hope and my Reliance!

وَيَا كَهْفِي وَٱلسَّنَدُ
wa ya kahfi walssanadu
O my Shelter and my Support!

وَيَا وَاحِدُ يَا احَدُ
wa ya wahidu ya ahadu
O One! O One and Only!

يَا قُلْ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ احَدٌ
ya qul huwa allahu ahadun
O “Say: He, Allah, is One.

ٱللَّهُ ٱلصَّمَدُ
allahu alssamadu
Allah is He on Whom all depend.

لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
lam yalid wa lam yulad
He begets not, nor is He begotten.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً احَدٌ
wa lam yakun lahu kufwan ahadun
And none is like Him.”

اسْالُكَ بِحَقِّ مَنِ ٱصْطَفَيْتَهُمْ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ
as'aluka bihaqqi man istafaytahum min khalqika
I pray You, in the name of those whom You had selected from among Your beings

وَلَمْ تَجْعَلْ فِي خَلْقِكَ مِثْلَهُمْ احَداً
wa lam taj`al fi khalqika mithlahum ahadan
after You never created their examples amongst all of Your beings,

انْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
an tusalliya `ala muhammadin wa alihi
to bless Muhammad and his Household,

وَتَفْعَلَ بِي مَا انْتَ اهْلُهُ
wa taf`ala bi ma anta ahluhu
and to do to me all that which suits You.

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اسْالُكَ بِٱلْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ ٱلْكُبْرَىٰ
allahumma inni as'aluka bilwahdaniyyati alkubra
O Allah, I verily pray You in the name of the Grand Oneness,

وَٱلْمُحَمَّدِيَّةِ ٱلْبَيْضَاءِ
walmuhammadiyyati albayda'i
the White Mohammedanism,

وَٱلْعَلَوِيَّةِ ٱلْعُلْيَا
wal`alawiyyati al`ulya
the Elevated `Alawism,

وَبِجَميعِ مَا ٱحْتَجَجْتَ بِهِ عَلَىٰ عِبَادِكَ
wa bijami`i ma ihtajajta bihi `ala `ibadika
in the name of all that which You have used as arguments against Your servants,

وَبِٱلاِسْمِ ٱلَّذِي حَجَبْتَهُ عَنْ خَلْقِكَ
wa bilismi alladhi hajabtahu `an khalqika
and in the Name that You have concealed from Your creatures

فَلَمْ يَخْرُجْ مِنْكَ إِلاَّ إِلَيْكَ
falam yakhruj minka illa ilayka
and thus it has never left You save that under Your permission

صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمِّدٍ وَآلِهِ
salli `ala muhammadin wa alihi
(I pray You by all these) to send blessings to Muhammad and his Household,

وَٱجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ امْرِي فَرَجاً ومَخرَجاً
waj`al li min amri farajan wa makhrajan
make for me relief and exit as regarding my affair,

وَٱرْزُقْنِي مِنْ حَيْثُ احْتَسِبُ
warzuqni min haythu ahtasibu
and grant me sustenance from whence I expect

وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لاَ احْتَسِبُ
wa min haythu la ahtasibu
and from whence I do not expect.

إِنَّكَ تَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشَاءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَاب
innaka tarzuqu man tasha'u bighayri hisabin
Verily, You give sustenance to whom You please without measure.

You may then mentioned your needs.

Yaa U'ddatee I'nda Shiddatee Wa Yaa Ghawthee I'nda Kurbatee Uh'risnee Bi-Ay'nikallatee Laa Tanaamu Wakfinee Biruknikallad'ee Laa Yuraamu Yaa D'al Quwwatil Qawiyyati Wa Yaa D'al Jalaalish Shadeedi Wa Yaa D'al I'zzatillatee Kullu Khalqika Lahaa D'aleelun S'alli A'laa Muh'ammadin Wa Aali Muh'ammad Wakfinee Z'aalimee Wantaqim Lee Minhu
O He who equips me to cope with the hardships which have afflicted me, O He who helps me to take off the load of the sorrows which have burdened me, keeps an eye (which never sleeps) on me, make me competent to deal with (misfortunes) with the (help of) a strong reinforcement (from You) which cannot be knocked down. O He who owns the strongest strength, O He who owns the most majestic majesty, O He who owns the highest honour compared to which all that which has been created is low and humble, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, make me competent to deal with the oppressor, and punish him for what he did to me.



 According to Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim, to remove worries, recite any 100 verses of the holy Quran and at the end recite 3 times :O Allah, drive the misfortune away from me.
Allaahummad - Fa 'A'nnil Balaa -
6.According to Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim, if a man in trouble keeps with him written  BISMILLA'AHIR RAH'MAANIR RAH'EEM Allah saves him from the worries he is afflicted with. Allah did not destroy Firwan in his house because BISMILLAAAHIR RAH'MAANIR RAH'EEM was written on his door.

7.For removing worries According to Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) for disappearance of worries and poverty one should recite ten times after (namaz fajr) morning prayer, this Doa:-
  سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيْمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهٖ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهٗ مِنْ فَضْلِه
Sobhaanal-Lahil Azime Wa Be-Hamdehi Astaghfirool-Laha Wa As'alohoo Min Fazlehi
The Almighty God is pure and I begin with His praise.I Pray salvation from Him and Supplicate His Blessings.



8.Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s) narrates that when you have finished the evening ( Maghrib) prayer, then without talking to anyone, say the following a hundred times:

10.FOR PERSISTENT PAIN
Al-Hasan b. al-Husayn al-Damighani narrated from al-Hasan aAli b. Faddal from Ibrahim b. Abu al-Bilad, who attributed it to Musa b. Jafar al-Kazim, peace be upon him, that he [Ibrahim] said: aThe governor of Medina complained to him [Musa b. Jafar] of his sonas persistent pain. He [Musa b. Jafar] said: aWrite for him this invocation on parchment, put it in a silver container, and fasten it on to the boy. Allah will remove every illness through it:
In the Name of Allah, I take refuge in Your Exalted Face, and Your Power, which nothing can resist, from the evil of what I fear in the night and the day from all the pains, and from the evil of this world and the next, and from every illness, pain, sorrow, sickness, affliction, or tribulation, or that which Allah knows he created me for and which I do not know myself.
Protect me, O Lord, from the evil of al of that in my night until it is morning, and in my day until it is evening. By the Perfect Words of Allah, which neither the righteous nor the ungodly can pass over, and from the evil of what comes down from the heavens, and what ascends it, and what enters into the earth and what comes out of it. Peace be upon the Messenger and praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
aI ask you, O Lord, by that with which Muhammad blessings of Allah on him and his Ahl al-Bayt, asked you, God is enough for me; there is no god but He. In Him I have put my trust. He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne (9:129). Put a seal on that from You, O Good, O Compassionate, with Your Name, O Allah, the Single, the One, the Refuge. Allah bless Muhammad and his family and repel from me the evil that I suffer, by Your Power.


Salama b. Muhammad al-Ashaari narrated from aUthman b. Isa who said: aA man complained to Abu al-Hasan, the first [Musa al-Kazim], peace be upon him, and said: aI have a rumbling. It never subsides and I am ashamed of talking to the people for they will hear the sound of that rumbling in stomach. So pray for me to be cured of it.
He [Abu al-Hasan] replied: When you finish your night prayer, say:
O Allah, whatever I know of good , it is from you, there is no praise for me in it. Whatever I know of evil, You have warned me of it, so I have no excuse in it. O Allah, I take refuge in You from relying on that in which there is no praise for me, or trusting in that for which I have no excuse.

11. Duaaa 285
To cure any disease make a vow that if the ailing person gets well, 1400 or14000 salawaat will be recited for Imam Musa bin Jafar al Kazim.
Allaahumma Saalli Aalaa Muhaammadin Wa Aali Muhaammad
 O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad.

  AI-Kazim [the seventh Imam, Abu al-Hasan Musa b. Jafar (d. 183/799)], peace be upon him, said:
'Stay away from the treatment of physicians (al-atibba) as long as you are well, for it is similar to building-a little of it leads to much.' He also said: ' Abstaining from certain foods (al-lahmiyya) is the chief medication. The abdomen (al-maida) is the house of illness. Accustom [the body] to what you are used to.'

12 Our Imams (a.s.) used to make long prostrations of thanksgiving. Specially Imam Moosa Kazim (a.s.) used to do the sajda after completing his fajr prayer which stretched well into the sun up. When he was asked about his Sajda e Shukr, the Imam (a.s.) said, one should recite the following supplication while doing the Sajda:

13.Prayer of difficulties -Makarim al-Akhlaq, Pg. 338 Al-Kazim (a.s.) said: Pray as many rakats of Prayer as you like. When you conclude, put your cheeks and forehead on the earth and say:
يَا قُوَّةَ كُلِّ ضَعِيْفٍ يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ، قَدْ وَ حَقِّكَ بَلَغَ الْخَوْفُ مَجْهُوَدِىْ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّيْ
Yaa quwwata kulli z'ae'e'fin yaa mudhilla kulli jabbaarin qad wah'aqqika balaghal khaufu majhoodee fafarrij a'nnee'
O strength of all the weak ones. O One who debases all the oppressors. Indeed by Your right, the fear has affected my endeavor. So remove it from me.
Recite the above three times.
Then put the right cheek on the ground and say 3times:
يَا مُذَلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيْلٍ، قَدْ وَحَقِّكَ اَعْيَا صَبْرِىْ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّيْ.

O One Who debases all the tyrants and honors all the dishonored ones, indeed by Your right, my patience has reached its limit. So remove it from me.

then put the left cheek on the earth and say in the same way three times, then put your forehead on the earth and say:
اَشْهَدُ اَنَّ كُلَّ مَعْبُوْدٍ مِنْ تَحْتِ عَرْشِكَ إِلٰی قَرَارِ اَرضِكَ بَاطِلٌ اِلاَّ وَجْهَكَ، تَعْلَمُ كُرْبَتِىْ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّیْ
Ash-hadu anna kulla ma'boodim min tah'ti a'rshikA ilaa qaraari arz'ika baat'ilun illaa waj-haka ta'lamu kurbatee fafarrij a'nnee'
I testify that all the deities that are on the earth below Your sky are all false except Your face. You are aware of my grief. Then remove it from me.

Then sit down when your heart softens and say:
اَللَّهُمَّ اَنْتَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّوْمُ الْعَلِىُّ الْعَظِيْمُ، الْخَالِقُ الْبَارِئُ، الْمُحْيِىْ الْمُمِيْتُ، الْبَدِيْعُ لَكَ الْكَرَمُ وَ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ لَكَ الْمَنُّ وَ لَكَ الْجُوْدُ، وَحْدَكَ لاَ شَرِيْكَ لَكَ، يَا وَاحِدُ يَا اَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا مَنْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ كَذَالِكَ اللهُ رَبِّىْ،
Allaahumma antal h'ayyul qayyoomul a'leeyul a'z'eemul khaaliqul baari-ul muh'yil mumeetul badeeu' lakal h'amdu wa lakal mannu wa lakal jood. Wah'daka shareeka laka yaa waah'idu yaa ah'adu yaa s'amadu yaa man lam yalid wa lam yulad wa lam yakun lahu kufwan ah'ad. Kadhaalikallaahu rabbEE'
O Allah You are the Living, the Eternal, the High and the Great. The Creator of the living things. The giver of life and death. The Originator, for You is the kindness and for You is the praise and for you is the favor, and for You is the generosity. Your Oneness, there is no partner for You. O the One, O the Unique, O the Self-sufficient. O One Who does not beget and is not begotten. And there is none like Him. Such is Allah, my Lord.
then put your forehead on the earth and say:
صَلِّ (اَللَّهُمَّ) عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِيْنَ
S'alli (allaahumma) a'laa muh'ammadinw wa aali muh'ammadis' s'aadiqeen.
Invoke blessings (O Allah) on Muhammad and the Progeny of Muhammad, the truthful ones.

And do so and so for me.


13. Invocation of Imam Kazim (a.s.) after Asr prayers for the Reappearance of Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.)

It was stated in "Falaahi Ssa'il" among the important supplication to be observed after (Asr) afternoon prayer by imitating our master Musa ibn Ja'afar Al-Kazim (peace be upon him) in his dedicated supplication to our master Al-Mahdi (peace and blessing of Allah be on his grand father Muhammad and same to him) as it was narrated by Yahya bn Al-Fadl Naufali, he said: I entered to Abu Al-Hasan, Musa bn Ja'afar after (Asr) afternoon prayer in Baghdad, thus I met him raising his hand to the Heaven and I heard him reciting the following:

اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
اَلْاَوَّلُ وَالْاٰخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُالْبَاطِنُ،
وَاَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
اِلَيْكَ زِيَادَةُ الْاَشْيَاۤءِ وَنُقْصَانُهَا،
وَاَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
خَلَقْتَ الْخَلْقَ بِغَيْرِ مَعُوْنَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ،
وَلَاحَاجَةٍ اِلَيْهِمْ،
اَنْتَ اللهُ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
مِنْكَ الْمَشِيَّةُ وَاِلَيْكَ الْبَدْءُ۔

اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
قَبْلَ الْقَبْلِ وَخَالِقُ الْقَبْلِ،
اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤاِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
بَعْدَ الْبَعْدِ وَخَالِقُ الْبَعْدِ،
اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
تَمْحُوْ مَا تَشَاۤءُ وَتُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَكَ اُمُّ الْكِتَابِ،

اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
لَايَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ الدَّقِيْقُ وَلَا الْجَلِيْلُ،
اَنْتَ اللهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ،
لَايَخْفٰى عَلَيْكَ اللُّغَاتُ،
وَلَاتَتَشَابَهُ عَلَيْكَ الْاَصْوَاتُ۔
كُلَّ يَوْمٍ اَنْتَ فِيْ شَاْنٍ،
لَايَشْغَلُكَ شَاْنٌ عَنْ شَاْنٍ،
عَالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَاَخْفٰى،
دَيَّانُ الدِّيْنِ،
مُدَبِّرُ الْاُمُوْرِ،
بَاعِثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُوْرِ،
مُحْيِ الْعِظَامِ وَهِيَ رَمِيْمٌ،
You are God there is no any other deity except You, the Goal and the Inheritor of every thing, You are God there is no any other deity except You, both small and mighty are not far away from You, You are God there is no any other deity except You, there is no any language hidden to You and voices are not similar to You. Every day You are at Your duty and a duty did not disturb You from another, the Knower of all hidden and concealed things, the owner of Religion, the director of all things, He who raises those in the graves, He who gave life to bone after they have became decayed.


اَسْاَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُوْنِ الْمَخْزُوْنِ،
اَلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّوْمِ،
اَلَّذِيْ لَايَخِيْبُ مَنْ سَاَلَكَ بِهِ،
اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَاٰلِهِ،
وَاَنْ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَ الْمُنْتَقِمِ لَكَ مِنْ اَعْدَاۤئِكَ،
وَاَنْجِزْلَهُ مَا وَعَدْتَهُ،
يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَالْاِكْرَامِ۔
I requested from You by Your sheltered Name, the Eternal the Everlasting, who did not disappoint who ever call Him by His name, to send blessing on Muhammad and his family and hasten the reappearance of Your retaliator from Your enemies and execute for him all You have promised him, O' the possessor of Magnificence and Honour.


I said to him, whom did you prayed for? He said: to Al-Mahdi of the Prophet's household (peace be on them).
He continued saying: may my father be sacrifice for him, his eyebrow are very close, his legs are very energetic, his shoulder is wide, brown in colour and close to be yellowish, may my father be sacrifice for him, his night shall guard the stars by his bowing down and prostration to Allah, may my father be sacrifice for him, he who the blames of those that blame shall not affect before Allah, he is the luminous lamp, may my father be sacrifice for him, he shall rise with the command of Allah.
I said to him, when will he come out? He said: when you saw armies from the city of Anbar in Iraq at the beach of Furat, sirah and Dajlah, and the arch of Kufah is destroy, and burning of some houses in Kufah, when you see all this, verily Allah will act according to His wish, no one can subdue the commandment of Allah and no one can review His Judgement.[1]



His Supplications extract from Book By: Baqir Sharif al-Qarashi Imam Musa devoted himself to Allah; he mentioned Him, the Most High. He supplicated Him with the supplication of those who turn to Allah in repentance. Supplication books have many of his supplications. As for the advantage of supplication, he has talked about it through his statement: 'Adhere to supplication, for most surely supplication and request from Allah repel tribulation even if it is ordained and decreed and nothing has remained but carrying it out. When Allah, the Great and Almighty, is supplicated and asked, He turns away tribulation.'

He, peace be on him, has again talked about the advantages result from supplication, saying: 'When a tribulation befalls a believing servant and Allah, the Great and Almighty, inspires him with supplication, the tribulation is about to be removed. When a tribulation befalls a believing servant and he refrains from supplicating (Allah), the tribulation lasts for a long (time); therefore when tribulation comes down, adhere to supplication and imploring Allah, the Great and Almighty.'[361] We will briefly present some of his supplications:
His Supplication against Someone who wronged him source
He, peace be on him, supplicated with this holy supplication during his qunut against the 'Abbasid Caliph who was a contemporary of him and made him suffer from various kinds of pang and pain. We will present the full text of the supplication, that, through it, what the Imam met from the tyrants of his time may be clear:
'O Allah, surely I and so-and-so son of so-and-so are two of your servants! Our forelocks are in Your hand. You know our resting place, our depository, our return, our abode, our secret and open deeds. You know our intentions and encompass our minds. Your knowledge of what we show is just as Your knowledge of what we hide. Your knowledge of what we conceal is just as Your knowledge of what we make public. None of our affairs is hidden from You; none of our conditions is covered from You. No fortress protects us from You; no sanctuary guards us from You and no place to flee from You. The fortresses do not preserve the unjust from You. His fighters do not struggle for him against You. No overcomer attempts to overcome You through his standing by him; You catch up with him wherever he walks and have power over him wherever he goes. Therefore the wronged from among us seeks refuge in You. The vanquished from among us relies on You, resorts to You, seeks help from You when deserted by the aider, cries to You for help when neglected by the helper, seeks shelter in You when banished by the courtyards, knocks on Your gate when doors with bolts are closed before him, reaches You when the heedless kings are veiled from him. You know what happens to him before he complains of it to You; You know what sets him right before he supplicates You for it; therefore praise belongs to You, O Aware, Knowing, Most Kind!

'O Allah, and that it certainly was in Your previous knowledge, Your firm decree, Your going on determination, and Your valid command. Your will is in process among all Your servants, happy and unhappy, pious and sinful. You have given so-and-so power over me, and he has wronged me with it, aggressed against me through his position, showed audaciousness and mighty through his authority with which You have invested him, showed tyranny and pride through his high state which You have given to him. Your giving respite to him has deluded him and Your clemency toward him has made him tyrannical, so he has aimed at me with detested things toward which I am impatient, intentionally performed to me evil (things) before which I am feeble. I cannot seek justice from him because of my frailty nor can I gain a victory over him because of the paucity (of my supporters); therefore I have entrusted his affair to You and I have relied on You in respect with his affair. You have threatened him with Your punishment, warned him through Your power, and frightened him with Your vengeance, but he has thought that Your clemency toward him is out of weakness, and Your giving respite to him is out of feebleness. None has prevented him from (doing) another, nor has he been prevented from a second by a first.

However, he has gone too far in his error, continued doing wrong, persevered in his enmity, and increased his tyranny, out of audaciousness toward You. O my Master and Protector! Undertake Your wrath You do not withhold from the oppressors. So here I am, O my Master, wronged under his authority, abased in his courtyard, transgressed, apprehensive, fearful, terrified, and vanquished. My patience has become little; my strength has become narrow. The ways have been closed before me except (the one leading) to You; the directions have been blocked up all around me except a direction to Your. My affairs have become ambiguous in repelling his detested things. The opinions have become dubious to me in removing his oppression; the one from among Your creatures I have asked for help has deserted me; the one from among Your servants to whom I have clung has handed me over. So I had consulted my adviser and he advised me to beseech You. I had asked my guide to show me the right way and he showed me none except You.

Therefore I have come back to You, O my Protector, lowly, willingly, miserable, knowing that there is no relief for me except from You, and there is no salvation for me except through You. Fulfill Your promise in helping me and grant my supplication; that is because Your words are true and are not refuted and changed. Certainly You, Blessed and Most High You are, have said: and he who has been oppressed, Allah will most certainly aid him; and You, Majestic is Your eulogy and Holy are Your names, have said: Supplicate Me and I will respond to you. So I am going to do what You have commanded me not by making You feel obliged. How can I make you feel obliged and You have guided me to it; therefore, respond to me just as You had promised me, O You Who do not fail to perform the promise. I certainly know, my Master, that You will some day take vengeance on the oppressors for the oppressed; I am sure that some time You will punish the usurper for the usurped. That is because no obstinate precedes You; no opponent comes out of Your grasp. You do not fear the escape of a escaper, but my impatience and dismay do not reach the patience toward Your deliberateness and waiting for Your clemency. So Your power, my Master, is over all powers; Your force overcomes all forces. Every body will return to You even if You give them time; all oppressor will come back to You even if You respite them.

O My Master, certainly Your clemency toward so-and-so, Your long deliberateness toward him, and Your giving him time have harmed me. Despair is about to dominate me were it not for trust in You and certainty in Your promise. So if it is in Your valid decree and Your going on power that he will turn to You in repentance or repent or withhold from wronging me or refrain from the things I detest and leave the great (sins) he commits (through wronging) me, then bless Muhammed and his family and let that fall into his heart before You remove Your blessing You have bestowed upon him and before You muddy Your good You have done to him. If Your knowledge of him is other than that of his station through which he has wronged me, then I ask You, O Helper of the wronged and transgressed, grant my supplication. Bless Muhammed and his family and overtake him in his place of safety with the overtaking of a Mighty, Powerful One. Surprise him during his inattention with the surprise of a Victorious King. Deprive him of his blessing and his authority, disband his troops and his helpers. Completely tear apart his kingdom, thoroughly scatter his supporters, isolate him from Your blessing for which he has showed neither gratitude nor kindness. Strip him of the shirt of Your Exaltation toward which he has showed no good turn. Snap him, O Snapper of the tyrants. Destroy him, O Destroyer of the bygone generations. Ruin him, O Ruiner of the oppressive nations. Abandon him, O Abandoner of the rebellious groups. Cut off his lifetime; take his properties; efface his trace; cut off his news; put out his fire; make dark his house; ball his sun; make him give up the ghost; smash his legs; cut off his head; rub his nose in the ground; hasten his death. Leave neither shield for him unless you destroy it, nor support for him unless You snap it, nor a union unless You scatter it, nor a post of loftiness unless You lower it, nor a pillar unless You undermine it, nor a tie unless You cut it off. Show us his helpers and troops as slaves after the exaltation; make them disunited after their unity, bow their heads after their show-off before the community. Relieve, through the removal of his affair, the fearful souls, the grieved hearts, the perplexed community, and the lost mankind. Show, through his removal, the suspended, prescribed punishments, the effaced laws (sunan), the neglected precepts, the changed, principal features (of religion), the distorted verses, the deserted schools, the abandoned places of worship, and the demolished shrines. Through it (his removal) satisfy the hungry, hollow stomachs.

Water, through it, the exhausted palates and the thirsty livers. Through it give rest to the tired feet. Strike him with an affliction that has no sister (lit. no like), with an hour when there is no abode, with a misfortune with which there is no refreshment, and with a stumble from which there is no release. Make lawful his forbidden things; muddy his ease. Show him Your most violent seizing, Your ideal vengeance, Your power that is over all powers, Your force that is mightier than his. Overcome him for me through Your strong strength and Your severe punishment. Protect me from him through Your protection. Afflict him with poverty he cannot redress and with evil he cannot cover. Entrust him to himself in what You desire. Surely You do what You desire! Release him from Your force and power and entrust him to his force and power. Remove his scheming through Your scheming; repel his will through Your will. Sicken his body; orphan his children; decrease his fixed term; disappoint his hope; remove his state; prolong his wailing; make him busy with his own body. Do not set him free from his sadness. Turn his trickery into error, his affair into disappearance, his comfort into removal, his earnestness into lowness, his authority into vanishing, and his final result into the most wicked result. Make him die of his fury if You intended to make him die; let him remain in grief if You intended to let him remain. Protect me from his evil, his backbite, his slander, his influence, and his enmity. Glance at him with a glance through which You destroy him; for most surely You are strongest in prowess and strongest to give an exemplary punishment.'[1]

From this holy supplication we conclude that Imam Musa met heavy misfortunes and exhausting pain from his opponent, for he did not supplicate against him with this supplication unless he filled his heart with severe sadness and bitter pain.
His Supplication in Seeking Needs He, peace be on him, supplicated with this supplication when he was poverty or lack-stricken:
'O Allah, I ask You through him whose right against You is great to bless Muhammed and his family, to provide me with putting into practice the knowledge of Your right You have taught me, and to make easy to me Your provision of which You have deprived me.'[363]
His Supplication for Help in Repaying Debts
A Companion of the Imam's complained to him of his accumulated debts against him, and he, peace be on him, wrote him the following supplication and ordered him to supplicate (Allah) with it:
'O Allah, repay to all Your creatures their complaints against me, small and great, through ease and well-being from You, and that which my strength cannot reach, my own hand cannot embrace, my body, my certainty, and my soul cannot endure. So repay it on my behalf from the plentiful You have from Your favor. Then do not let anything of it remain behind me to settle it of my good deeds. O Most Merciful of the merciful! I testify that there is no god apart from Allah, Who is unique and without partners, that Muhammed is His servant and His Prophet, that the religion is just as He Has legislate, that Islam is just as He has described, that the Book is just as He has revealed, that the speech is just as He has related, and that Allah is the Clear Truth. Allah has mentioned Muhammad and his Household in a good way, and He has greeted Muhammed and his Household with (the greeting) salam.' [1]
His Supplication for Seeking Veil Imam Musa, peace be on him, sought veil through the following supplication and sought protection with it:
'I have trusted in the Living, Who does not die; I have fortified myself in the Possessor of the might and invincibility; I have sought help from the Possessor of the magnificence and kingdom. O My Protector! I have submitted to You, so do not hand me over. I have trusted in You, so do not desert me. I have sought refuge in Your easy protection, so do not dismiss me. You are the Object of requests and to You is the flight. You know what I conceal and make public; You know the stealthy looks and that which the breasts conceal; therefore withhold from me, O Allah, the hands of the oppressive from among all the jinn and the men; heal me and make me well, O Most Merciful of the merciful!'[1]

It is enough for us to mention this number of his holy supplication that indicates that he devoted himself to Allah and clang to Him. Many of his supplications have been mentioned in the books al-Iqbal, Muhajj al-Da'awat, and other than them have been written on this subject. [1] Muhajj al-Da'wat, pp. 67-72.
