Dua BACKGROUND from AN Najmuth Saaqib

Incident Twenty-eight: Supplication recited by Imam (a.s.) in Masjid Saasa during Rajab
The venerable Sayyid, Ali bin Taaoos has narrated in the book of Iqbal from Muhammad bin Abil Ruwad Rawasi that he said:
He went out with Muhammad bin Ja’far Dahhaan towards Masjid Sahla on one of the days of the month of Rajab.
He said: Take me to Masjid Saasa as it is a blessed Masjid and Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) has prayed over there and the holy proofs have stepped on those blessed precincts.
So I became inclined to that Masjid. I was praying there when I saw a man alight from his camel and tie it under the shade. Then he entered and offered two units of prayer and prolonged those two units. Then he raised his hands and recited as follows: “Allaahumma Yaa zal manna…” Till the end… then he arose and went to his camel and mounted it.
Ibne Ja’far Dahhaan asked me: Should I not get up and approach him? Should I not ask him who he is? So we arose and went to him. Then we asked him: We adjure you by Allah, to tell us who you are?
He replied: I adjure you by the Almighty Allah, who do you think I am?
Ibne Ja’far Dahhaan replied: I think that you are Khizr. Then he asked: Have you also thought so?
I replied: I thought that you are Khizr.
He said: By Allah, I am indeed one that Khizr is needful of seeing. Return as I am the Imam of your time.

Shaykh Muhammad bin Mashadi in his Mazaar Kabeer (pp. 144-146)and Shaykh Shaheed Awwal has narrated in Mazaar (pp. 264-266) from Ali bin Muhammad bin Abdur Rahman Shustari that he said: I passed by the Bani Rawas clan.
Some brothers said: If only you take us to Masjid Saasa so that we can pray over there, because it is the month of Rajab and it is recommended to perform the Ziyarat of that place in this month as the Imams have passed over these places during these times and prayed there and Masjid Saasa is one of those places. Thus, we became inclined to him towards the Masjid when suddenly we saw a camel whose legs were tied and was sleeping at the gate of the Masjid. We entered and suddenly decried a man in Hijazi clothes having a headgear resembling the people of Hijaz. He was seated and reciting the following supplication, which I and my friend memorized; it is as follows:
“Allaahumma yaa zal menanis saabegha…and so on”
Then he prolonged the prostration. After that he arose, mounted his camel and went away. My friend said: I think that he was Khizr. Then what happened to us that we did not speak to him? As our tongue was tied up.
We came out and met Ibne Abil Rawad Rawasi; he asked: Where are you coming from?
We replied: From Masjid Saasa and we narrated the report. He said: This camel rider visits Masjid Saasa every two or three days and he does not speak.
We asked: Who is he?
He asked: Who do you think it is?
We said: We thought that he is Khizr.
Then he said: By Allah, I don’t know of anyone to see whom Khizr is needful of. Return with guidance and direction.
My friend said to me: He, by Allah, is the Master of the Age (a.s.).
The author says: Apparently these are two incidents and twice this supplication was heard from the Imam in that Masjid during Rajab especially by Ali bin Muhammad Shushtari in a way that His Eminence spoke to him and he also interacted with the Imam.
The famous scholars have included this supplication among the famous devotions of Masjid Saasa in books of supplications and rituals of the month of Rajab
It seems that Imam’s reciting of this supplication was for a specific place; the masjid sasaa and time; Rajab
However it seems that it is from the absolute supplications and has no restriction of time and place

5. Shaykh al-Tusi has narrated that the following holy Signature (Tawqee) – Signed Letter of Imam Mahdi (atfs) was conveyed to his representative Shaykh Abu-Ja`far Muhammad ibn `Uthman ibn Sa`eed:
On each day in Rajab, you may say the following prayer:

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

-there being no difference between You and them except that they are Your servants and creation.

and in each unit of the prayer he recites the Sura Fatiha once, the Ayat al-Kursi seven times, “Sura Ikhlas" five times, and
then say the following ten times,
اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ وَاسْالُهُ ٱلتَّوْبَةَ

I implore for Allah’s forgiveness and I pray to Him for accepting of my repentance.
