Supplication of Alawi Misri For Imam Al-Mahdi (May Our Souls Be Sacrifice For Him) To Be Recited When On Difficulties

Supplication Of Nudbah

 

Sadr Al-Islam Hamdani (may Allah elevates his position) in the book " Takalifil Anam" said: among the virtues of supplication of Nudbah is that anywhere it is recited with full sincerity and tranquility with attention to its exalted meaning, it necessitates the attraction of the leader of the time's providence (may our souls be sacrifice for him) to that place and it may even prompt the presence of the Imam over there (may our souls be sacrifice for him) as it happens in some places.

 

Allamah Majlisi (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book "Zadal Ma'ad" said: with sound chain of collectors to Imam Sadiq (peace be on him): it is recommended to recite supplication of Nudbah in four festivals; on Fridays, on Eid Fitr, on Eid Adha and on Eid Ghadeer.

 

Allamah Majlisi also reported it in Al-Bihar quoting from Sayyid bn Taa'us (may Allah have mercy on him), on the authority of some of our companions: Muhammad bn Ali bn Abi Qurrah said: I have quoted from the book of Muhammad bn Al-Husein bn Sufyan Al-Bazufari (may Allah be pleased with him) about the supplication of Nudbah, he mentioned that the supplication is for the leader of the time (peace be on him), and it is recommended to be offered in four (Eid) festivals.

 

A great scholar Al-Muhadith Nuri (may Allah have mercy on him) has narrated this supplication in "Tahiyyatu Zza'ir" quoting from "Misbaahu Zza'ir" by Sayyid bn Taa'us and from "Mizir" by Muhammad bn Mash'hadi with same chain of collectors. It was quoted also from "Al-Mizaril Qadeem" but with addition of reciting it on Friday night as it was recommended in the four festivals. The supplication is as follows:
