Eight Supplications for Deliverance from Mischief of a Tyrant
(1) Supplication Against the Enemy
“When any of you pray against the other person he should say,
اَللّٰهُمَّ اطْرُقْهُ بِلَيْلَةٍ لَا اُخْتَ لَهَا، وَ اَبِحْ حَرِيْـمَهٗ.
allaahummat ruqho be-laylatin laa ukhta lahaa, wa abeh hareemahu.
O Lord, strike him with peerless misfortune in the night and allow his defenses to be ransacked.[1]
Makaarem al-Akhlaaq, vol. 2, p. 149; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 95, p. 222
(2) Supplication for Overcoming Enemy and Other Difficulties
When Ma’moon was enraged over Imam Reza (a.s.) he (a.s.) recited this dua and his anger subsided:
بِاللهِ اَسْتَفْتِحُ وَ بِاللهِ اَسْتَنْجِحُ وَ بِـمُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهٖ) اَتَوَجَّهُ. اَللّٰهُمَّ سَهِّلْ لِيْ حُزُوْنَةَ اَمْرِيْ كُلَّهٗ، وَ يَسِّرْ لِيْ صُعُوْبَتَهٗ؛ اِنَّكَ تَـمْحُوْ مَا تَشَآءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ، وَ عِنْدَكَ اُمُّ الْكِتَابِ.
billaahe astafteho wa billaahe astanjeho wa be-mohammadin (sallal laaho a’layhe wa aalehi) atawajjaho. allaahumma sahhil lee hozoonata amree kullahu, wa yassir lee so-o’obatahu, innaka tamhoo maa tashaaa-o wa tusbeto, wa i’ndaka ummul ketaab.
By the help of Allah, I seek conquest, by the power of Allah, I will achieve success and through Muhammad (s.a.w.a.), I turn to (Allah). O Lord, soften for his hardheartedness all of it, and comfort me from his difficult attitue; You delete what You will, and establish. And with You there is the original book.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) narrated:
“I never got enraged for any matter, never got entangled in any financial and martial difficulties whenever I recited this dua, the Almighty Allah subsided my rage, faciliated my problems, control over my enemy and success in my matters.”[2]
Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 94, p. 315
(3) Supplication for Safety from Enemy and his Mischief
Imam Reza (a.s.) recommended to recite this dua for safety from the mischief of enemies:
اِسْتَسْلَمْتُ مَوْلَىٰيَ لَكَ
Istaslamtu mawlayya laka
I have surrendered, my Lord, to You
وَ اَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِيْ اِلَيْكَ
Wa aslamtu nafsi ilayka
And I have submitted my soul to You
وَ تَوَكَّلْتُ فِي كُلِّ أُمُورِي عَلَيْكَ

وَ أَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدَيْكَ
Wa ana 'abdaka wa ibn 'abdik
And I am Your servant, and the son of Your servant
أَخْبَرَنِيْ أَللَّهُمَّ فِي سِتْرِكَ
Akhbarni Allahumma fi sitrika

(4) Supplication for Safety from Visiting Mischevious Person Imam Ali Reza (a.s.) advised:
“Whenever you visit a person whose mischief you fear, recite this supplication:
اَللّٰهُمَّ يَدُكَ فَوْقَ يَدِهِ
Allāhumma yaduka fawqa yadihi
O Allah, Your hand is above his hand
وَ سُلْطَانُكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ سُلْطَانِهِ
Wa sulṭānuka a'ẓamu min sulṭānihi
And Your authority is greater than his authority
اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْرَأُ بِكَ فِي نَحْرِهِ
Allāhumma innī adra'u bika fī naḥrihi
O Allah, I seek refuge in You from him
وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ

And I seek refuge in You from his evil
وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِكَ عَلَيْهِ
Wa ast'aīnū bika 'alayhi

Wa al-jā'u ilayka mimmā ashfaqtu 'ala nafsī minhu
And I turn to You for refuge in what I fear for myself from him
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَكُنْ عِندَ ظَنِّي بِكَ فِي مَا لَمْ أَجِدْ فِيهِ مَفْزَعًا غَيْرُكَ
Allāhumma fakun 'inda ẓannī bika fī mā lam ajid fīhi mafza'an ghayruka
O Allah, be for me according to my expectation of You in that from which I found no refuge other than You
وَلَا مَلْجَأً سِوَاكَ
Wa lā malja'an siwāka
And no sanctuary besides You
فَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَدْلَكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ جَوْرِ الْجَائِرِينَ
Faqad 'alimta anna 'adhlaka awsa'u min jawri al-jā'irīn
For You know that Your justice is wider than the oppression of the oppressors
وَ إِنْصَافَكَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ الظَّالِمِينَ
Wa inṣāfuka min warā' al-ẓālimīn
And Your fairness from behind the wrongdoers

So protect me from him, O Lord of the worlds

(5) Supplication for Safety from Mischief of Tyrant
Imam Reza (a.s.) on the authority of his father (a.s.) says:
“Abu Ja’far al-Dawaaneqi (l.a.) sent for Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) in order to kill him. He prepared the sword and a piece of special leather (which was used to put on the floor for executing people on). al-Dawaaneqi told al-Rabee’, “Chop off his head when I clap my hands after I speak with him.”
Then when Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) entered, the Imam (a.s.) looked at al-Dawaaneqi from a distance and the Imam’s lips were moving. Abu Ja’far (al-Dawaaneqi) was sitting in his place and was saying, ‘O Aba Abdullah! Welcome. We only sent for you to pay off your debts.’
He then gently asked about his household and added,
‘Allah (s.w.t.) has paid off your debts and has determined your reward. O Rabee’, do not do any thing until Ja’far returns to his family.’
When al-Dawaaneqi left, al-Rabee’ told the Imam (a.s.), ‘O Aba Abdullah! Did you see the sword and the leather that was prepared for you? What were you saying when you were moving your lips?’
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) said, ‘When I noticed the wickedness in his eyes I said,
حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمَرْبُوبِينَ
Hasbi al-Rabb min al-marboobin
My Lord is sufficient for me among those who are created
وَ حَسْبِيَ الْخَالِقُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ
Wa hasbi al-Khaliq min al-makhluqin
And the Creator is sufficient for me among the created
وَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ
Wa hasbi al-Raziq min al-marzuqin
And the Provider is sufficient for me among those who are provided for
وَ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ
Wa hasbi Allah Rabb al-'alameen
And Allah is sufficient for me, Lord of the worlds
حَسْبِيَ مَنْ هُوَ حَسْبِي
Hasbi man huwa hasbi
Sufficient is He who is my sufficiency
حَسْبِيَ مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ
Hasbi man lam yazal
Sufficient is He who has always been
حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ
Hasbi Allah
Allah is sufficient for me
لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ
La ilaha illa huwa
There is no deity except Him
عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ
Alayhi tawakkaltu
Upon Him I have placed my trust
وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
Wa huwa Rabb al-'arsh al-'azim
And He is the Lord of the mighty Throne

(6) Another Supplication for Safety from Mischief of Tyrant
Sayed Ibn Taaoos narrated in his book ‘Mohijj al-Da’waat’ on the authority of Imam Reza (a.s.) that he (a.s.) said:
“A person came to Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) and complained to him about the tyranny inflicted upon him.
Imam (a.s.) said to him: ‘Why do not you recite Dua-e-Mazloom (Supplication of the Oppressed) which the Messenger (s.a.w.a.) had taught to Imam Ali ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.)? There is not a single aggrieved person who recites this supplication and has not got deliverance from the mischief of the tyrant:
اَللّٰهُمَّ طُمَّهُ بِالْبَلَاءِ طُمًّا
Allahumma tummahu bil-bala'i tumma
O Allah, overwhelm him with affliction greatly
وَ غُمَّهُ بِالْبَلَاءِ غَمًّا
Wa ghummahu bil-bala'i ghamma
And envelop him in distress profoundly
وَ قُمَّهُ بِالْأَذَى قَمًّا
Wa qummahu bil-adha qamma
And raise him with harm greatly
وَ ارْمِه بِيَوْمٍ لَا مَعَادَ لَهُ
Wa irmih biyawmin la ma'ada lahu
And cast him on a day that has no returns
وَ سَاعَةٍ لَا مَرَدَّ لَهَا
Wa sa'atin la marda laha
And at an hour that cannot be reversed
وَ أَبِحْ حَرِيمَهُ
Wa abih harimahu
And grant me access to his sanctuary
وَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
Wa salli 'ala Muhammad wa ahl baytihi
And send blessings upon Muhammad and his family
(عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ)
(‘Alayhi wa 'alayhim al-salam)
(peace be upon him and them)
وَ قِنِي شَرَّهُ
Wa qini sharrah
And protect me from his evil
وَ اكْفِنِي أَمْرَهُ
Wa kfini amrah
And suffice me regarding his matter
وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي كَيْدَهُ
Wa asrif 'anni kaydah
And turn away his plot from me
وَ أَحْرِجْ قَلْبَهُ
Wa ahrij qalbah
And embarrass his heart
وَ سُدَّ فَاهُ عَنِّي
Wa sudda fa'hu 'anni
And seal his mouth against me
"وَ خَشَعَتِ الْأَصْوَاتُ لِلرَّحْمَٰنِ"
"Wa khash'at al-aswat lil-Rahman"
"And the voices are humbled before the Most Merciful"
"فَلَا تَسْمَعُ إِلَّا هَمْسًا"
"Fala tasma'u illa hamsan"
"So you will not hear anything but whispers"
"وَ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ"
"Wa 'anatil wujuhu lil-Hayy al-Qayyum"
"And the faces will be humbled before the Ever-Living, the Sustainer"
"وَ قَدْ خَابَ مَنْ حَمَلَ ظُلْمًا"
"Wa qad khaba man hamala dhulmā"
"And severely failed is he who carries oppression"
"اِخْسَئُوْا فِيْهَا وَ لَا تُكَلِّمُونِ"
"Ikhsa'u fiha wa la tukallimun"
"Be humiliated therein, and do not speak"

(7) Supplication for Defeating the Enemy and Resolving Problems
Imam Reza (a.s.) narrated:
One of the companions of Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) found a paper which he presented to him (s.a.w.a.). The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), at the time of prayer, went on the pulpit and read what was written on that paper. It was an invocation written by Hazrat Yusha Ibn Noon the successor of Prophet Moosa (a.s.):
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُوفٌ رَحِيمٌ
Inna Rabbakum lar'ūfun raḥīm
Indeed, your Lord is Most Kind, Most Merciful
أَلَا إِنَّ خَيْرَ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ التَّقِيُّ الْـخَفِيُّ
Alā inna khayra 'ibādi Allāh at-taqīyu al-khafī
Indeed, the best of Allah's servants is the God-fearing, the hidden (who acts with sincerity)
وَ إِنَّ شَرَّ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ الْمُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ
Wa inna sharra 'ibādi Allāh al-mushāru ilayhi bil-aṣābi'a
And indeed, the worst of Allah's servants is the one pointed at with fingers (for his wrongdoing).
Alternate translation
‘In the name of Allah the Beneficent, the Merciful. No doubt your Lord is Compassionate and Kind. Beware, the best servant of Allah (s.w.t.) is he who guards himself against evil and is concealed and the worst is one who is being pointed i.e. he is famous.’
So whoever wants to fill up his bowl and wants to discharge his duties for the sake of the blessings, awarded to him by the Almighty Allah, should recite this dua everyday:
وَ الْـحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلهِ
Wa al-ḥamdu lillāhi kamā yanbaghī lillāh
And all praise is due to Allah as is befitting for Him
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
Wa lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh
And there is no power and no strength except with Allah
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
Wa ṣallā Allāhu 'ala Muḥammadin wa ahl baytihi
And may Allah send blessings upon Muhammad and his household
النَّبِيِّ الْعَرَبِيِّ الْهَاشِمِيِّ
An-Nabiyy al-'Arabiyy al-Hāshimī
The Arab Prophet, the Hashemite
وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى جَمِيعِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ
Wa ṣallā Allāhu 'ala jamī' al-mursalīn wa an-Nabiyyīn
And may Allah send blessings upon all the Messengers and the Prophets
حَتَّى يَرْضَى اللَّهُ
Ḥattā yarḍā Allāh
Until Allah is pleased.
Then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) came down from the pulpit. As people were insisting him about this invocation the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) again went on the pulpit and said:
Whoever wants that he should be praised and glorified more than the Mujaahedin (Fighters in the way of Allah) he should recite this supplicaton each day. His needs will surely be fulfilled, his enemies will be destroyed, his loans will be cleared, all his problems will be solved, his invocation will be fixed on Divine Tablet (Lauh-e-Mehfooz) after taking round of the sky.”

Yaa Haseebo
O Reckoner.
80 times having pure intention and humility taking care of its meaning. It is to be started from Thursday. Surely his enemy will be overpowered.”
It is also written in the same book that there is no other invocation stronger than this for waiving out the tyranny of an enemy.

(2) Supplication for Overcoming Enemy and Other Difficulties
When Ma’moon was enraged over Imam Reza (a.s.) he (a.s.) recited this dua and his anger subsided:
Imam Ali ibn Abi Taalib (a.s.) narrated:
“I never got enraged for any matter, never got entangled in any financial and martial difficulties whenever I recited this dua, the Almighty Allah subsided my rage, faciliated my problems, control over my enemy and success in my matters.”[2]

SAHIFA MAHDI (ajtfs) Protection from Enemy
Recite this supplication for deliverance from difficulties and protection from the evil of thieves:
:Late Ayatullah Sheikh Ali Akbar Nahavandi writes: “Sheikh Ali Akbar Tehrani, who lives in Mashhad, narrated an incident for us saying:
The pious cleric, Sheikh Mohammad Taqi Turbati, who was one of the great scholars and clerics of Islamic Ethics and a student of Allama Mirza Habibullah Rashti and had is permission of jurisprudence, said: One of my religious god-fearing students, who were among the Sayyids of the city of Turbat, narrated for me that:
“On returning from the Ziyarat of the holy shrines, I left ‘Khaniqeen’ along with a student and went walking behind a caravan towards the ‘Qasr e Shireen’. We were weakened as a result of immense thirst and hunger, and with great difficulty, we managed to reach the caravan. We saw that the caravan was looted by bandits and all their wealth was robbed, their men were injured and were found lying in the desert, their carriers were broken and fallen on the ground.
We moved towards a corner out of fear and went on top of a hill. All of a sudden, we saw a dignified Sayyid standing next to us. He greeted us with Salam, then gave us seven dates of Zahidi and said: eat four dates and give the remaining three to the Sheikh.
Then he said: Recite this supplication for deliverance from difficulties and protection from the evil of thieves:
When we eat the dates, our thirst vanished. Thereafter, we walked a short distance with that honorable Sayyid; suddenly, he indicated towards a place and said: this is your house. When we looked, we found our house situated below that hill. On entering the house, we felt very sleepy out of extreme tiredness. We slept without paying attention to the incident that occurred to us. After waking up, we understood that that noble man was the master of time, Imam Mahdi (A.S.).
PRESERVATION OF AL-YAMANI
SOURCE Al Monji
In the book ‘Darus Salaam’ mentions I found the Manuscript of Allama Majlisi saying
" Sayyid Ameer Mohammad Hashim asked me to give him the permission of the Yamani Amulet which is associated with Imam Ali(as).Therefore, I am giving him the permission of narrating this supplication; Narrated from Ameer Ishaque Astarabadi (who is buried in Karbala ), who narrated from Imam Mahdi (A.S.).
Supplication of HIJAB (CONCEALMENT), from Enemy SAHIFA MAHDI
Honorable Sayyid Ali bin Taoos (R.A.) states in his book ‘Muhaj ud Da’waat’, after mentioning the supplication of concealment and other concealments, that: These concealments are among those things whose recitation has been revealed upon us when a flood arrived and resulted in the drowning of a number of people, and water had spread everywhere. It was extremely difficult to save one’s life in such a condition. The intensity of the flood resulted in the devastation of several flood-prone areas.

His supplication for protection from every affliction, hardship, and fear From al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) who said:
Gabriel (peace be upon him) brought down this supplication as a gift to Ali (peace be upon him) on the night of the Confederates,To repel the devil, the tyrant, drowning, and burning,And collapse, the lion, and the thief And it is a guard against every affliction, hardship, and fear.And this is the supplication

From Tafseer Imam Hassan (as) book
The Prophet(saws) told Zaid (r.a.): If you desire to be protected from their harmful plots, recite the following Du’a everyday early in the morning:
The Imam Hassan Al Askari(as) ’s Amulet from this book
Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) suffered different kinds of oppression and cruelty during the reign of al-Mutawakkil and other Abbasid kings whom the imam was contemporary with. Therefore, he resorted to Allah to protect him from their plots and save him from their evils. He armed himself with this du’a:
“I have charmed myself with the charm of Allah; the light by which He has hidden from eyes, and taken precaution for my self, family, children, properties, and all that under my charge by the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful, and sought refuge for myself and all that from what I fear and beware of with Allah Who (there is no god but Him, the Everliving, the Eternal.
Slumber does not overtake Him nor sleep; whatever is in the heavens and whatever is in the earth is His, who is he that can intercede with Him but by His permission?
He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they cannot comprehend anything out of His knowledge except what He pleases, His knowledge extends over the heavens and the earth, and the preservation of them both tires Him not, and He is the Most High, the Great),[1]
(And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, then he turns away from them and forgets what his two hands have sent before? Surely We have placed veils over their hearts lest they should understand it and a heaviness in their ears; and if you call them to the guidance, they will not ever follow the right course in that case),[2]
(Have you seen him who makes his desire his god, and Allah sends him astray purposely, and seals up his hearing and his heart, and sets on his sight a covering? Then who will lead him after Allah (has condemned him)? Will ye not then heed?),[3]
(These are they on whose hearts and their hearing and their eyes Allah has set a seal, and these are the heedless ones),[4]
(And when you recite the Qur’an, We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter a hidden barrier. And We have placed coverings on their hearts and a heaviness in their ears lest they understand it, and when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur’an they turn their backs in aversion),[5]
and may Allah have blessings on Muhammad and on his pure progeny…”[6]
This du’a shows the extent of the fears the imam (a.s.) faced from the Abbasids, and therefore, he resorted to Allah to save him and his family from their (the Abbasid’s) oppression and plotting.

[6] Muhaj ad-Da’awat, p.44-45.
He also protected himself from the Abbasids by this du’a:
“O You, my means at my distress, O You, my succor at my grief, O You, my relief at my loneliness, guard me by Your eye that does not sleep, and shield me by Your shelter that is unreachable.’[1]
[1] Muhaj ad-Da’awat, p.45.
Persecuting The People Of Qum
The Abbasids persecuted the people of Qum and treated them with oppression and terror. They appointed Musa bin Yahya, who was wicked and unjust, as wali over them. He was impolite, immoral, and inhuman that people desisted from him. He treated people in a very bad way and exaggerated in oppressing them until the notables of Qum resorted to Imam Abu Muhammad (a.s.) complaining to him at what that tyrant did to them.
The imam prayed to Allah the Almighty to save them from the evil of that mean, oppressive wali, and taught them this du’a and asked them to recite it in the qunut of their prayers so that Allah might relieve them from this calamity:
“Praise be to Allah as gratefulness to his blessings, calling for His more, imploring His livelihood, being loyal to Him and not to other than Him, and refraining from disbelieving in Him and denying His might and exaltedness, a praise of one who knows that all the blessings he has are from his Lord, and the punishments that afflict him are for the wrongs his hands have committed, and the blessings of Allah be on Muhammad His slave and messenger, and the best of His creation, and the means of believers towards His mercy, and (blessings be) on his pure progeny who are his guardians.
O Allah, You have called (Your people) for Your favor, and ordered (them) to supplicate You, and You have insured response to Your people. You have not disappointed whoever resorted to You with a wish and turned to You with a need.
You have not let any asking hand come back empty from Your gift or desperate of Your donation. Was there any traveler who traveled to You and did not find You near, or a comer who came to You and You put obstacles between You and him?! Was there any insister on asking You that the flow of Your favor did not include him…?
O Allah, I come to You with my wish, the hand of my request knocks at the door of Your favor, my heart invokes You with the reverence of submission, and I found You the best intercessor for me with You. You know my request before it comes to my mind or gets in my imagination. O Allah, so complete my du’a by Your response to me and meet my request by the satisfying of my wish!
O Allah, the aberration of seditions has included us, the haze of confusion has overcome us, meanness and lowness have fought with us, the untrustworthy on Your religion have ruled over us, the wicked, who have annulled Your rule, have extorted our affairs and tried to damage Your people and corrupt Your land.
O Allah, our wealth is appropriated after it was distributed (among all), and our rule has become domination after it was shura (consultation) and monarchy after it was the nation’s option; amusements and musicals have been bought by the shares of orphans and widows, non-Muslims rule over the believers, and sinners have been entrusted with their (people’s) affairs, and no protector protected them from a danger, and no guardian looked at them with the eye of mercifulness, and no kind one satisfied the thirsty hearts from a famine, and so they are weak and hungry in a home of loss, captives of wretchedness, inheritors of melancholy, meanness…
O Allah, the plant of falseness has come to harvest, reached its full, its stick has become firm…its branches have gone high and fixed.
O Allah, bring, from the truth, its reaper to reap it, break its stock, smash its branches, cut off its hump, and amputate its extents, so that falseness, with its ugly picture, disappears, and truth, with its beautiful dress, appears.
O Allah, let no pillar of oppression, but You tear it down, no shield, but You expose it, no unity, but You separate it, no heavy force, but You slight it, no high rank, but You make it low, no post of a banner, but You turn it over, and no lively thing, but You perish it.
O Allah, cover his[1] sun, put out his light, efface his mention, hit, by the truth, his head, scatter his armies, and frighten the hearts of his people!
O Allah, do not let a remainder of him, unless it is annihilated, nor a structure unless it is torn down, nor a unity unless it is broken, nor an arm unless it is disabled, nor a boundary unless it is violated, nor a flagpole unless it is overthrown!
O Allah, show us his supporters scattered after affinity, separate after unity, and disgraced after their domination over the nation!
O Allah, bring us the day of justice, and show it to us eternal with no darkness in it, and pure light with no mix with it, and make its goodness fall down on us, and its blessing come down on us, and avenge on his[2]opponent, and support him over his enemy!
O Allah, show the truth,[3] and make it shine in the dusk of darkness, and ambiguity of confusion!
O Allah, enliven by it the dead hearts, unite by it the separate desires and different opinions, establish by it the annulled penalties and neglected rulings, satiate by it the hungry stomachs, relieve by it the weak and tired bodies, as You made us mention it, and put into our mind Your supplicating, made us successful in calling for it, and keeping the people of ignorance away from it, house in our hearts its love, and eagerness to it, and expecting it to establish its ceremonies!
O Allah, give us best certainty on it, O You, the Achiever of good wills, the Attainer of delayed hopes. O Allah, refute the fabricators who fabricate against You in it, and confute the suspicions of the desperate of Your mercy and desperate of it!
O Allah, make us a means of its means, a figure of its figures, a fort of its forts, and brighten our faces with its bright, honor us by its support, and make our intention good…
O Allah, You have made us know our selves, and see our defects that we fear not to be able to respond to You, while You favor those who do not deserve, and bestow on requesters before they request, so give us due to Your generosity and favor, for You do what You like, and determine as You want, and we have resorted to You, and repented of our sins.
O Allah,…and the caller for You, the doer of justice from Your people, the poor to Your mercy, and the needy to Your help on Your obedience…You have given him your blessing, dressed him with the dresses of Your honor, thrown on him the love of Your obedience, fixed his love in the hearts, made him successful to do Your command that the people of his time are indifferent of, made him a resort to the wronged of Your people, and a support to those who do not find a supporter save You, and a restorer of what has been annulled of the verdicts of Your Book, and a builder of what has been ruined of the laws of Your religion, and the rulings of Your Prophet, Your blessing, peace, and mercy be on him and on his progeny. O Allah, make him safe from the plotting of enemies…and take him to the best that You have taken the doers of Your justice from among the successors of prophets. O Allah, degrade by him whoever does not turn back to Your love, and whoever bears enmity against him, and shoot by Your deadly stone whoever incites against Your religion by degrading him and scattering his power…
O Allah, as he has made himself as a target to the far for the sake of You, and sacrificed his soul to defend the believers, and resist the evil of suspicious apostates until he shall remove spread disobediences, and show what ulama have left behind their backs whereas they have covenanted to declare it for people and not to conceal it, and he shall call for the obedience of You alone, without making a partner to You from Your creation that his command may be over Yours…O Allah, assist him by Your victory, enable him in what he is unable in, increase his power from Your assistance…
O Allah, honor him with the doing of Your command to see the standing of Reckoning as it is, delight Your Prophet (Your blessings be on him) by seeing him and whoever follows him in his mission, reward him with the best for doing Your command, take him closer to You in his life, and pity our wretchedness…O Allah, make him safe from what is feared for him, drive away from him the arrows of plotting that the people of grudge throw at him and at the participant in his matter and his assistants on the obedience of Allah Whom You have made as his fort, resort, and comfort and who leave their families and children and country, give up comfortable beds and ease, stop their trades, harm their livings…and rejected the transient pleasures of this world. O Allah, keep them in Your safety and protection, defend them against whoever has enmity against them from Your people, suffice them and provide them with Your help, assistance, and victory, defeat, by their right, the falseness of whoever wants to put out Your light. O Allah, fill by them every horizon and every country with justice, fairness, mercifulness, and virtue, and thank them due to Your generosity and bounty with what You have bestowed on the doers of justice from Your people, and saved for them from Your reward that might raise in degrees, You do whatever You like, and determine whatever You want…’[1]
