Protection from enemies/oppressors

Dua'a 137 Keep surah al Bara-at on the body to remain safe from the plots of enemies.

To ward off the evil designs of enemies recite surah al fil in the first rakat of Fajr salat (after recitation of al Fatihah) daily till the danger disappears.

Dua'a 138 To destroy your enemy recite the following du-a-a 500 times for 3 days.

Dua'a 142 The following du-a'a is so effective to defeat the designs of the enemies that Imam Husayn bin Ali Zayn al Abidin, according to Imam Jafar bin Muhammad as Sadiq, used to recite this regularly.

Dua'a 150 As reported by Ibn Babawayh al Qummi, Imam Ali abi Talib said : whosoever recited al Ikhlas, al Qadr (see selected Soorahas volume one) and Ayat at Kursi (see dua'a 39) 11 times each, before sunrise, inshallah his or her property will remain safe from any type of loss. In addition all efforts of Shaytan to lure him or her to sinning will go waste.

Dua'a 151 Surah al Ma-idah protects property from loss and theft. Keep the written surah in the house or in the safe or in the box wherein cash, valuables and documents are kept.

Dua'a 152 Keep written surah al Ba-rat (Tawbah) on the body to remain safe from thieves. It also protects property from destruction.

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:

اَعُوۡذُ بِاللہِ مِنَ الشَّیۡطَانِ الرَّجِیۡمِ

By the blessing of these words, Almighty Allah will protect you from their evil. No doubt, these hypocrites are like devils, who talk flatteringly to deceive. But if you want to be protected from drowning, fire and loss of property, recite this supplication every morning:

بِسۡمِ اللہِ مَا شَا ءَاللہُ ۔ لَا یَصۡرِ فُ السُّوۡ ءَ اِلآَ اللہُ بِسۡمِ اللہِ مِا شَاءَ اللہُ لَا یَسُوۡقُ الۡخَیۡرَ اِلَّا اللہُ بِسۡمِ اللہِ مَا شاءَاللہُ، مَا یَکُوۡنُ مِنۡ نِعۡمۃٍ فَمِنَ اللہِ، بِسۡمِ اللہِ مَا شاءَاللہُ ۔ لا حوۡ لَ وَلَا قُوَّۃَ اِلآَ بِا للہِ الۡعَلیِّ الۡعَظِیۡمِ بِسۡمِ اللہِ مَا شاءَ اللہُ وَ صَلّی اللہُ عٰلٰی مُحمَّدٍ وَ آلِہِ الطَّیِّبِیۡنَ۔

In the name of Allah, as Allah willed � None removes the troubles except Allah. In the Name of Allah, as Allah willed. None sends any good except Allah. In the Name of Allah, as Allah willed, there is no power and strength except with Allah, the High and Mighty. In the Name of Allah, as Allah willed, and may Allah bless Muhammad and his pure progeny.

One, who recites this prayer thrice in the morning, will be protected from drowning, burning and theft, until the evening, and if one recites it in the evening, he will be safe from these calamities until the morning next. Then the Holy prophet (s.aw.a.s) said: every year during the Hajj, Al-Khidhr and Ilyas (a.s) meet one another, and when they depart.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ. وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ اِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِيْمِ اَللَّهُمَّ اِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَ اِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعِيْنُ يَا اَللهُ يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحِيْمُ يَا اَحَدُ يَا صَمَدُ يَا اِلٰهَ مُحَمَّدٍ اِلَيْك نُقِلَتِ اْلاَقْدَامُ وَ اَفَضَتِ الْقُلُوْبُ وَ شَخَصَتِ اْلاَبْصَارُ وَ مُدَّتِ اْلاَعْنَاقُ وَ طُلِبَتِ الْحَوَآئِجُ وَ رُفِعَتِ اْلاَيْدِیْ اَللَّهُمَّ افْتَحْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِنَا بِالْحَقِّ وَ اَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفَاتِحِيْنَ.

Bismillaahir rah�maanir rah�eem. Wa laa h�aula wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a�leeyil a�z�eem. Allaahumma iyyaaka na�budu wa iyyaaka nastae�e�n. yaa allaahu yaa rah�maanu yaa rah�eemu yaa ah�adu yaa s�amadu yaa ilaaha muh�ammadin ilaika nuqilatil aqdaamu wa afaz�atil quloobu wa shakhas�atil abs�aaru wa muddatil aa�naaqu wa t�ulbatil h�awaa-iju wa rufia�til aidee allaahummaftah� bainanaa wa baina qauminaa bil h�aqqi wa anta khairul faatih�een.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. And there is no strength or power except with Allah, the Great and High. O Allah we worship You and from You only we seek help. O Allah! O Merciful! O Compassionate! O the one! O the self-sufficient! O God of Muhammad! (Peace of Allah be on him and his progeny). In Your domain feet are moving ahead and with the presence of heart, eyes are awaiting, necks are stretched high, where desires are asked and hands are lifted. O Allah! You judge between us and our nation with truth, as You are the best of the judges.

لاَ اِلٰهَ اِلاَّ اللهُ وَ اللهُ اَكْبَرُ.

It is quoted from the elders and Shaykhs: One who is involved in difficulties and problems and wishes to find a way out, should recite the following, nineteen times after every prayer:

نَجَاةٌ مِّنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِىْ الْكَرِيْمِ، نَجِّنَا وَ خَلِّصْنَا بِحَقِّ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ.

Najaatum minka yaa sayyidil kareem. Najjinaa wa khallis�naa bih�aqqi bismillaahir rah�maanir rah�eem.

Success is from You O my kind Chief. Give us success and make us sincere by the right of �in the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful�.

If he repeats these words 786 times it would be perfect and complete. Also for escaping the unjust and for achieving important objectives, it is necessary for him that he recite these words 73 times in a single sitting, then he should recite them facing the Qibla in a state of ritual purity, and after completing it, he should recite Salawat 3 times and mention his needs. They shall be fulfilled, if Allah wills.

It is narrated in a tradition from Imam Zainul Abideen (a.s.) that he said: One who recites this supplication, if all the jinns and men come together to cause harm to him, they could not harm him. It is as follows:

بِسْمِ اللهِ وَ بِاللهِ وَ مِنَ اللهِ وَ إِلَی اللهِ وَ فِىْ سَبِيْلِ اللهِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْك اَسْلَمْتُ نَفْسِىْ، وَ إِلَيْكَ وجَّهْتُ وَجْهِىْ، وَ إلَيْكَ فَوَّضْتُ اَمرِىْ، وَ احْفَظْنِيْ بِحِفْظِ اْلإِيْمَانِ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَىَّ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِىْ وَ عَنْ يَّمِيْنَِيْ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِىْ وَ مِنْ فَوْقِىْ وَ مِنْ تَحْتِیْ وَ ادْفَعْ عَنِّيْ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ لاَ حَوْلَ وَ لاَ قُوَّةَ اِلاَّ بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيْمِ.

Bismillaahi wa billaahi wa minallaahi wa ilallaahi wa fee sabeelillaahi allaahumma ilaika aslamtu nafsee, wa ilaika wajjahtu wajhee, wa ilaika fawwaz�tu amree, wah�faz�nee bih�ifz�il eemaani mim baini yadayya wa min khalfee wa a�yn yameenee wa a�n shimaalee wa min fauqee wa min tah�tee wadfa� a�nnee bih�aulika wa quwwatika wa laa h�aula wa laa quwwata illaa billaahil a�leeyil a�z�eem.

In the name of Allah and by Allah and from Allah and for the sake of Allah. O Allah I submit my self to Thee, and towards You I have turned my face, and towards You I have entrusted my affair. And protect me by the safety of faith from before me and from behind me, and from my right and from my left and from above me and from below me. And ward off from me by Your power and Your strength; and there is no power and might except by Allah, the Exalted and the Mighty.[1]

اَللَّهُمَّ اَذْهِبْ عَنِّيْ غَيْظَ قَلْبِىْ، و اغْفِرْ لِىْ ذَنْبِىْ، وَ اَجِرْنِيْ مِنْ مُضِلاَّتِ الْفِتَنِ، اَساَلُكَ رِضَاكَ، وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ اَسْاَلُكَ جَنَّتِكَ، وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَارِكَ، وَ اَسْاَلُكَ الْخَيْرَ كُلُّهُ، وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الشَّرِّكُلُّهُ، اَللَّهُمَّ ثَبِّتْنِيْ عَلٰی الْهُدٰی وَ الصَّوَابِ، وَ اجْعَلْنِيْ رَاضِيًا مَرْضِيًّا غَيْرَ ضَالٍّ وَ لاَ مُضِلٍّ.

Allaahumma adh-hib a�nnee ghaiz�a qalbee. Waghfirlee dhambee wa ajirnee mim maz�allaatil fitani as-aluka riz�aaka. Wa ao�o�dhubika min sakhat�ika as-aluka jannatik. Wa ao�o�dhubika min naarika. Wa as-alukal khaira kulluh. Wa ao�o�dhubika minash sharri kulluh. Allaahumma thabbitnee a�lal hudaa was� s�awaab. Waj-a�lnee raaz�iyam marz�iyan ghaira z�aallinw wa laa muz�il.

O Allah take away from me the anger of my heart, and forgive me my sins, and take me away from mischief and deviations. I ask You Your pleasure, and I seek refuge of Your displeasure. I ask You Your Paradise and seek refuge by You from Your Fire (Hell). And I ask You for all the good and seek refuge from all evils. O Allah, make me firm on guidance and the correct way, and make me satisfied and able to satisfy You, and not a deviant and deviator.[1]

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْم.ِ تَذْرُوْ هُ الرِّيٰحُ، وَ كَانَ اللهُ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ مُّقْتَدِرًا.

Bismillaahir rah�maanir rah�eem. �Tadhroohur riyaah�u wa kaanallaahu a�laa kulli shai-im muqtadiraa.�

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent the Merciful. Which the winds scatter; and Allah is the holder of power over all things.[2]

رَبَّنَا اكْشِفْ عَنَّا الْعَذَابَ اِنَّا مُوْمِنُوْنَ

يَوْمَئِذٍ يَّصْدُرُ النَّاسُ اَشْتَاتًا

Read them softly (to yourself) then say: By the right of these blessed verses separate them from me.

Shaykh Kamaluddin ad-Damiri has mentioned in his book, Hayatul Haiwan: One who recites Surah Feel a thousand times every day for ten days continuously and makes an intention of what he desires and on the tenth day he should sit on flowing water and say:

اَللَّهُمَّ اَنْتَ الْحَاضِرُ بِمَكْنُوْنَاتِ السَّرَائِرِ، وَ الضَّمَائِرِ. اَللَّهُمَّ عَزَّ الظَّالِمُ، وَ قَلَّ النَّاصِرُ، وَ اَنْتَ الْمُطَّلِعُ الْعَالِمُ، اَنَّ فُلاَنًا ظَلَمَنِيْ وَ آذَانِيْ، وَ لاَ يَشْهَدُ بِذٰلِكَ غَيْرَكَ، اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ مَالِكُهُ، اَللَّهُمَّ سَرْبَلُهُ سِرْبَالُ الْهَوَانِ، وَ قَمَّصَهُ بِقَمِيْصِ الرَّدٰی.

Allaahumma antal h�aaz�iru bimaknoonaatis saraa-iri, waz� z�amaa-ir. Allaahumma a�zzaz� z�aalimu, wa qallan naas�iru, wa antal mut�t�aliu�l a�a�lim. Anna fulaanan z�alamanee wa aadhaanee, wa laa yash-hadu bidhaalika ghairak. Allaahumma innaka maalikuh. Allaahumma sarbaluhu sirbaalul hawaani, wa qammas�ahu biqamees�ir radaa.

O Allah, You are cognizant of all the hidden things of the secrets and intentions. O Allah, the oppressors are more and the helpers are less. And You are the informed One, the Knowing, that so and so has oppressed me and hurt me and except for You, none is a witness upon that. O Allah indeed You are the owner. O Allah, degrade him absolutely and strip him off his oppressions.

فَاَخَذَهُمُ اللهُ بِذُنُوْبِهِمْ وَ مَا كَانَ لَهُمْ مِنَ اللهِ مِنْ وَّاقٍ.

But Allah destroyed them for their sins; and there was not for them any defender against Allah.[6]

Zamakhshari has mentioned in Rabiul Abrar that a man complained to al-Hasan (a.s.) that a person had oppressed him. The Imam said: When you pray two units of prayer after the evening (Maghrib) prayer, go into prostration and say:

يَا شَدِيْدَ الْمِحَالِ، يَا عَزِيْزُ اَذللّتَ بِعِزَّتِكَ جَمِيْعَ مِنْ خَلَقْتَ، فَصَلِّ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ وَ اكْفِنِيْ مَؤْنَةَ فُلاَنٍ بِمَا شِئْتَ.

Yaa shadeedal mih�aali, yaa a�zeezu adhlillata bi-i�zzatika jameea� min khalaqta fas�alli a�laa muh�ammadinw wa aalihi wakfinee mau-nata fulaanim bimaa shi-t.

O One most difficult to comprehend, O Powerful One, by Your power You suppress all those You have created. Then bless Muhammad and his progeny and save me from the evil of so and so by whatever You wish.

Before he even realizes it, there would be a scream in the house of the oppressor. Shaykh Mufid has also mentioned this narration with the following words:

يَا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْقَوِيَّةِ، وَ يَا ذَا الْعِزَّةِ الَّتِىْ كُلُّ خَلْقِكَ لَهَا ذَلِيْلٌ، اِكْفِنِيْ هٰذَا الطَّاغِيَةِ وَانْتَقِمْ لِىْ مِنْهُ.

Yaa dhal quwwatil qaweeyati, yaa dhal i�zzatillatee kullu khalqika lahaa dhaleel. ikfinee haadhat� t�aaghiyati wan taqim lee minhu.

O One with a strong might, and O one with might with which everything that You created is debased. Save me from this tyrant and take my revenge from him.[8]

[1] Hilyat al-Muttaqeen, Ash-Shaykh al-Majlisi, Pg. 448

It is quoted from some scholars that one who is involved in problems and calamities and desires to escape from them, he should recite 19 times after every ritual prayer:

نَجَاةٌ مِنْكَ يَا سَيِّدِى الْكَرِيْمِ، نَجِّنَا وَ خَلِّصْنَا بِحَقِّ بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ.

Najaatum minka yaa sayyidil kareem. Najjinaa wa khallis�naa bih�aqqi bismillaahir rah�maanir rah�eem.

Salvation is from You, O Kind Chief, save us and release us by the right of: In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

For release from the oppressor and achieving important objects recite the following 73 times in a single sitting facing the Qibla and having ritual purity, and after completing it, he should recite Salawat three times and then ask for ones needs; they would be fulfilled soon, if Allah wills. (It is of the proven remedies).[1]

Recite Ayatul Kursi for seven days, at sunrise, facing the Qibla before speaking to anyone 21 times. When you reach �ya�lamu maa baina� point in the direction of the enemy, and there is no doubt that he will be destroyed. And when you reach �yashfa-u� I�ndahu� make intention of gaining the affection of that person, and there is no doubt that he would obtain his affection. It is acknowledged to be effective with the condition that it should be strictly for permissible matters.[2]

اَللَّهُمَّ يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ وَ مُنَفِّسَ الْغَمِّ وَ مُذْهِبَ اْلاَحْزَانِ وَ مُجِيْبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّيْنَ يَا رَحْمٰنُ الدُّنْيَا وَ اْلآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيْمَهُمَا اَنْتَ رَحْمَانِيْ وَ رَحْمٰنُ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ فَارْحَمْنِیْ رَحْمَةً تُغْنِيْنِیْ بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ مِنْ سِوَاكَ وَ تَقْضِیْ بِهَا دَيْنِيْ.

Allaahumma yaa faarijal hammi, wa munaffisal ghammee. Wa mudh-hibal ah�zaani wa mujeeba da�watil muz�t�arreen. Yaa rah�maanud dunyaa wal aakhirati wa rah�eemahumaa. Anta rah�maanee wa rah�maanu kulli shai-in farh�amnee rah�matan tughneenee bihaa a�nr rah�mati mIn siwaaka wa taqz�ee bihaa dainee.

O Allah, O remover of sorrow, and the dispeller of sadness, and the curer of griefs and the answerer of prayers of the troubled ones, O Beneficent one of the world and the hereafter and the forgiver of the two. You are Beneficent for me and Beneficent for everything. Then give me such a mercy that I become needless of all mercy from others than You. And through it liquidate my debts.

اَللَّهُمَّ اَغْنِنِيْ بِحَلاَلِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَ بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ.

Allaahumma aghninee bih�alaalika a�n h�araamika bifaz�lika a�mman siwaaka yaa arh�amar raah�imeen.

O Allah, make me self-sufficient by Your permissible from Your prohibited and through Your grace from those other than You. O the best of the merciful ones.[3]

If he is able to, he must accompany it by the word:حمعسق (H�aa Meem A�in Seen Qaaf) and recite both the words in a single sitting 2500 time then recite the prayer for needs and it is proven effective.

The writer: Recite the letters of the words separately ك هـ ي ع ص Kaaf � Haa � Yaa � A�in � S�aad.[4]

يَا مَنْ هُوَ لَيْسَ بِنَائِمٍ فَاَوْقِظُهُ، وَ لاَ بِغَافِلٍ فَاَذْكِرُهُ، وَ لاَ بِغَائِبٍ فَاَنْتَظِرُهُ، يَا مَنْ هُوَ هُوَ، يَا مَنْ لاَ يَعْلَمُ مَا هُوَ إِلاَّ هُوَ، يَا مَنْ لاَ يَعْلَمُ كَيْفَ هُوَ اِلاَّ هُوَ، يَا خَالِقَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَ اْلاَرْضِ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا، حُلْ بَيْنِيْ وَ بَيْنَ مَنْ يُؤْذِيْنِيْ وَ يَنْتَقِمَ مِنِّيْ، إِنَّكَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ.

O One Who is not asleep that he should be awakened, and One Who is never forgetful that he should be reminded, One Who is not absent that he should be waited for. O One Who is what He is. O One Who does not know what He is but that He is. O one Who does not know how He is but that He is. O Creator of the heavens and the earth and what is between them. Become a barrier between me and the one who is causing harm to me or wants to take revenge from me. Indeed You are powerful over everything.

Remember that it is a great supplication, and well known for being effective for that which you are afraid of.[5]

It is narrated from the Prophet (s.a.w.s.) that he said: One who encounters a problem in the worldly matters or those of the Hereafter, should recite three times:

اَلَيْسَ اللهُ بِكَافٍ عَبْدَهُ، وَ مَا لَنَا اَنْ لاَ نَتَوَكَلُّ عَلَی اللهِ وَ قَدْ هَدَانَا سُبُلَنَا، وَلَنَصْبِرَنَّ عَلٰی مَا آذَيْتُمُوْنَا وَ عَلَی اللهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ، اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّيْ اَنَخْتُ بِبَابِكَ وَ اَوَيْتُ إِلٰى فِنَائِكَ، فَافْعَلْ لِىْ مَا هُوَ اَوْلٰى بِكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ.

Alaisallaahu bikaafin a�badu wa maa lanaa allaa natawakkalu a�lallaahi wa qad hadaanaa subulanaa wa lanas�biranna a�laa maa aadhaitumoonaa wa a�lallaahi fal yatawakkalil mutawakkiloon. Allaahumma innee anakhtu bibaabika wa awaitu ilaa fanaa-ik. Faf-a�l lee maa huwa oolaa bika birah�matika yaa arh�amar raah�imeen.

Is not Allah sufficient for His servant? And are we not supposed to rely on Allah while He has guided us on our paths, and indeed we would be patient when subjected to hardships. And upon Allah should rely the reliant ones. O Allah, I have halted at Your door and approached Your court. Then do for me what is the best of You by Your mercy, O the best of the merciful ones.

It is narrated from Amirul Momineen (a.s.) that one who is being oppressed should perform ablution and pray 2 units of prayers and prolong the bowings and after concluding the prayer say:

اَللَّهُمَّ اِنِّىْ مَغْلُوْبٌ فَانْتَصِرْ.

Sayyid Ali bin Tawus (t.s.) has mentioned in Kitabul Daroo�: One who intends to suffice his enemy should undertake on the first night of the month to look at the crescent moon and point towards the house of one from whose mischief he wants to remain safe, and say:

أَيَوَدُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَنْ تَكُوْنَ لَهُ جَنَّةٌ مِّنْ نَّخِيْلٍ وَ أَعْنَابٍ تَجْرِيْ مِنْ تَحْتِهَا اْلأَنْهَارُ لَهُ فِيْهَا مِنْ كُلِّ الثَّمَرَاتِ وَ أَصَابَهُ الْكِبَرُ وَ لَهُ ذُرِّيَّةٌ ضُعَفَآءَ فَأَصَابَهَا إِعْصَارٌ فِيْهِ نَارٌ فَاحْتَرَقَتْ.

ayawaddu ah�adukum antakoona lahu jannatum minan nakheelinw wa aa�naabin tajreemin tah�tihal anhaaru lahu feehaa min kullith thamaraati wa as�aabahul kibaru wa lahu dhurreeyatun z�ua�faaa-A fa-as�aabahaa ii�s�aarun feehi naarun fah�taraqat�

Does one of you like that he should have a garden of palms and vines with streams flowing beneath it; he has in it all kinds of fruits; and old age has overtaken him and he has weak offspring, when, (lo!) a whirlwind with fire in it smites it so it becomes blasted.[6]

اَللَّهُمَّ طَمِّهُ بِالبَلاَءِ طَمًّا، وَ عَمِّهُ بِالْبَلاَءِ عَمًّا، اِرْمِهِ بِحِجَارَةٍ مِنْ سِجِّيْلٍ، وَ طَيْرٍ اَبَابِيلٍ، يَا عَلِىُّ يَا عَظِيْمُ.

allaahumma t�ammIhu bil balaa-i t�ammanW wa a�mmahu bil balaa-i a�mmaN. IrMihi bih�ijaaratiM min sijjeelinw wa t�airin abaabeel. Yaa a�leeyU yaa a�z�eem.

O Allah, push him in the earth and bury him, make him blind by the calamities so that he becomes blind, throw at him from pebbles of baked clay and send down (to prey) upon them birds in flocks. O the High and the Great!

Then he should make intention towards him for two days, he would suffice for his mischief, if Allah the High, wills. Do this at the time of new moon.

It is narrated from the Prophet (s.a.w.s.): Then say in the second and the third night, then you would succeed. If not, repeat it in the second month and if you are still not successful, repeat it in the third month, and if Allah, the Exalted wills, you will indeed succeed this time. [7]

It is narrated from Abi Abdullah (a.s.) that he said: If you are surrounded by afflictions do not (invoke curse) pray against your companion, for even if one is oppressed, one curses and himself becomes an oppressor. Thus if you are oppressed, perform the ritual bath (Ghusl) and pray two units of prayer under open sky then recite:

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ فُلاَنَ ابْنَ فُلاَنٍ ظَلَمَنِيْ وَ لَيْسَ لِىْ اَحَدٌ اُصُوْلُ بِهِ غَيْرُكَ، فَاسْتَوَفَّ لِىْ ظُلاَمَتِىْ، السَّاعَةَ، السَّاعَةَ، بِاْلاِسْمِ الَّذِىْ سَاَلَكَ بِهِ الْمُضْطَرُّ فَكَشَفْتَ مَا بِهِ مِنْ ضُرٍّ، وَ مَكَّنْتَ لَهُ فِىْ اْلاَرْضِ وَ جَعَلْتَهُ خَلِيْفَتَكَ عَلٰی خَلْقِكَ، فَاَسْاَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰی مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَ اَنْ تَسْتَوْفِىَ لِىْ ظُلامَتِىْ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ.

AllaahummA inna fulaanabna fulaanIN z�alamanee wa laisa lee ah�adun us�oolu bihi ghairuka fastawaffa lee z�ulaamatee as saaa�ta as-saaa�ta, bil ismilladhee sa-alaka bihil muz�t�arru fakashafta maa bihi min z�urrinw wa makkanta lahu fil arz�i wa ja-a�ltahu khaleefataka a�laa khalqika fas-aluka an tus�allee a�laa muh�ammadinw wa aali muh�ammadinw wa an tastau fee lee z�ulaamatis saaa�tas saaa�h.

O Allah, so and so son of so and so has oppressed me and there is no resort for me except You. Then remove his oppression from me. Right now, right now, right now. By the name the distressed one asks You and You remove harm from him. And You settle him in the earth and appoints Him as Your Caliph on Your creatures. Then I am also asking You to bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad that You remove for me my oppression, this moment, this moment.

It is narrated from as-Sadiq (a.s.) that he said: Perform the Wudhu properly, at any time you like, then pray two units of prayers, complete the two bowings. When you conclude it, rub your cheek on the ground while reciting:يَا رَبَّاهُ yaa rabbaahU O Lord!

يَا مَنْ اَهْلَكَ عَادًا اْلاَوْلٰی، وَ ثَمُوْدَ فَمَا اَبْقٰی، وَ قَوْمَ نُوْحٍ مِنْ قَبْلِ، إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا هُمْ اَظْلَمُ و اَطْغٰی، وَ الْمُؤْتَفِكَةُ اَهُوٰی، فَغَشَّاهَا مَا غَشّٰی، إِنْ كَانَ فُلاَنَ بْنَ فُلاَنٍ ظَالِمًا فِيْمَا ارْتَكَبَنِيْ بِهِ، فَاجْعَلْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْكَ وَعْدًا، وَ لاَ تَجْعَلَ لَهُ فِىْ حِلْمِكَ نَصِيْبًا يَا اَقْرَبَ اْلاَقْرَبِيْنَ.

Yaa man ahlaka a�a�dal AUlaa, wa thamooda famaa abqaa, wa qauma nooh�im min qabli innahum kaanu hum az�lamu wa at�ghaa wal mu-tafikatu ahwaa faghAshaahaa maa ghAshshaa inkaana fulaanabna fulaaniN z�aaliman feemaa artakabAnee bih. Faj-a�l a�laihi minka wa�danw wa laa taj-a�la lahu fee h�ilmika nas�eebaYn yaa aqrabal aqrabeen.

O One Who destroyed the Ad first and then the Thamud and they did not survive, and the people of Nuh previously. They were of those most unjust and rebellious. They followed the passions. Then they were covered with what covers. That so and so son of so and so is unjust in what he has done to me. Then appoint on him Your promise and do not appoint for him Your forbearance, O the most proximate of the proximate ones.

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.

يَا مُذَلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيْلٍ، قَدْ وَحَقِّكَ اَعْيَا صَبْرِىْ فَفَرِّجْ عَنِّيْ.

yaa mudhalla kulli jabbaarin yaa mui�zza kulli dhaleelin, qad wa h�aqqIka aa�yaa s�abrEE fafarrij a�nnEE.

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.

Recite this also three times, 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.

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،

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.

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.

Recite two units of prayer and recite whichever chapter of Quran you like and invoke blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad as much as you can. Then say:

اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ يَوْمًا تَنْتَقِمُ فِيْهِ لِلْمَظْلُوْمِ مِنَ الظَّالِمِ لٰكِنَّ هَلَعِىْ وَ جَزَعِىْ لاَ يَبْغِيَانِ بِىَ الصَّبَرَ عَلٰى اَنَاتِكَ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتَ اَنَّ فُلاَنًا ظَلَمَنِيْ وَ اعْتَدٰی عَلَىَّ بِقُوَّتِهِ عَلٰی ضَعْفِىْ فَاَسْاَلُكَ يَا رَبِّ الْعَزَّةِ (وَ قَاسِمِ اْلاَرْزَاقِ) وَ قَاصِمَ الْجَبَابِرَةِ وَ نَاصِرَ الْمَظْلُوْمِيْنَ اَنْ تُرِيْهِ قُدْرَتِكَ اَقْسَمْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ السَّاعَةِ السَّاعَةِ.

An tureehi qudratika aqsamtu a�laika yaa rabbil i�zzatis saaa�tas saaa�h.

O Allah, for You is the day when You will take revenge from the oppressors for the oppressed one. But my sorrow and distress overpower my patience due to delay from Your side while You indeed know that so and so has oppressed me and had been unjust to me by his power upon my weakness. Then I ask You, O Lord of Majesty (and the distributor of sustenance) and the slayer of the tyrants and the helper of the oppressed ones, that You show him Your power. I swear by You, O Lord of the Might, right now, just now.

Eight Supplications for Deliverance from Mischief of a Tyrant

In this chapter eight supplications for deliverance from the mischief of a tyrant shall be mentioned.

(1) Supplication Against the 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:

�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]

(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:

(4) Supplication for Safety from Visiting Mischevious Person

�Whenever you visit a person whose mischief you fear, recite this supplication:

(5) Supplication for Safety from Mischief of Tyrant

�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.�

�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,

(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:

(7) Supplication for Defeating the Enemy and Resolving Problems

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 اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ اِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ لَرَؤُفٌ رَحِيْمٌ اَلَا اِنَّ خَيْرَ عِبَادِ اللهِ التَّقِيُّ الْـخَفِيُّ وَ اِنَّ شَرَّ عِبَادِ اللهِ الْمُشَارُ اِلَيْهِ بِالْاَصَابِعِ.

�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:

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.�[10]

(8) Supplication to Overcome the Enemy

It is narrated in the book �Khawaass-e-Aayaat-e-Quran-e-Kareem� by Imam Reza (a.s.):

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.[11]

ANOTHER SUPPLICATION FROM IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) FOR RESCUE FROM DIFFICULTIES AND PROTECTION FROM BANDITS - SAHIFA MAHDI

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.

When we eat the dates, our thirst vanished. Then he said: Recite this supplication for deliverance from difficulties and protection from the evil of thieves:

أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَخافُكَ ، وَأَخافُ مِمَّنْ يَخافُكَ ، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِمَّنْ لايَخافُكَ .

O� Allah, indeed I fear You and fear those who fear You, and I seek refuge in You from those who do not fear You.

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.). ^{^[1]}

أَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الَّذي لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسي ، وَاعْتَرَفْتُ بِذَنْبي ، وَلايَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، فَاغْفِرْ لي يا غَفُورُ يا شَكُورُ .

أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَحْمَدُكَ ، وَأَنْتَ لِلْحَمْدِ أَهْلٌ ، عَلى ما خَصَصْتَني بِهِ مِنْ مَواهِبِ الرَّغائِبِ ، وَما وَصَلَ إِلَيَّ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ السَّابِغِ ، وَما أَوْلَيْتَني بِهِ مِنْ إِحْسانِكَ إِلَيَّ ، وَبَوَّأْتَني بِهِ مِنْ مَظَنَّةِ الْعَدْلِ ، وَأَنَلْتَني مِنْ مَنِّكَ الْواصِلِ إِلَيَّ ، وَمِنَ الدِّفاعِ عَنّي ، وَالتَّوْفيقِ لي ، وَالْإِجابَةِ لِدُعائي حَيْنَ اُناجيكَ داعِياً .

وَأَدْعُوكَ مُضاماً ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ فَأَجِدُكَ فِي الْمَواطِنِ كُلِّها لي جابِراً ، وَفِي الْاُمُورِ ناظِراً ، وَلِذُنُوبي غافِراً ، وَلِعَوْراتي ساتِراً ، لَمْ أَعْدَمْ خَيْرَكَ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ مُنْذُ أَنْزَلْتَني دارَ الْإِخْتِيارِ [1] ، لِتَنْظُرَ ما اُقَدِّمُ لِدارِ الْقَرارِ ، فَأَنَا عَتيقُكَ مِنْ جَميعِ الْآفاتِ وَالْمَصائِبِ ، فِي اللَّوازِبِ وَالْغُمُومِ الَّتي ساوَرَتْني فيهَا الْهُمُومُ ، بِمَعاريضِ أَصْنافِ الْبَلاءِ ، وَمَصْرُوفِ جُهْدِ الْقَضاءِ ، لا أَذْكُرُ مِنْكَ إِلّاَ الْجَميلَ ، وَلا أَرى مِنْكَ غَيْرَ التَّفْضيلِ .

خَيْرُكَ لي شامِلٌ ، وَفَضْلُكَ عَلَيَّ مُتَواتِرٌ ، وَنِعْمَتُكَ عِنْدي مُتَّصِلَةٌ ، وَسَوابِقُ لَمْ تُحَقِّقْ حِذاري ، بَلْ صَدَّقْتَ رَجائي ، وَصاحَبْتَ أَسْفاري ، وَأَكْرَمْتَ أَحْضاري ، وَشَفَيْتَ أَمْراضي وَأَوْهاني ، وَعافَيْتَ مُنْقَلَبي وَمَثْوايَ ، وَلَمْ تُشْمِتْ بي أَعْدائي ، وَرَمَيْتَ مَنْ رَماني ، وَكَفَيْتَني مَؤُونَةَ مَنْ عاداني .

فَحَمْدي لَكَ واصِلٌ، وَثَنائي عَلَيْكَ دائِمٌ ، مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلَى الدَّهْرِ ، بِأَلْوانِ التَّسْبيحِ ، خالِصاً لِذِكْرِكَ ، وَمَرْضِيّاً لَكَ بِناصِعِ التَّوْحيدِ ، وَإِمْحاضِ التَّمْجيدِ بِطُوْلِ التَّعْديدِ ، وَمَزِيَّةِ أَهْلِ الْمَزيدِ ، لَمْ تُعَنْ في قُدْرَتِكَ ، وَلَمْ تُشارَكَ في إِلهِيَّتِكَ ، وَلَمْ تُعْلَمْ لَكَ مائِيَّةً فَتَكُونَ لِلْأَشْياءِ الْمُخْتَلِفَةِ مُجانِساً ، وَلَمْ تُعايَنْ إِذْ حَبَسْتَ الْأَشْياءَ عَلَى الْغَرائِزِ ، وَلا خَرَقَتِ الْأَوْهامُ حُجُبَ الغُيُوبِ ، فَتَعْتَقِدُ فيكَ مَحْدُوداً في عَظَمَتِكَ ، فَلا يَبْلُغُكَ بُعْدُ الْهِمَمِ ، وَلايَنالُكَ غَوْصُ الْفِكَرِ ، وَلايَنْتَهي إِلَيْكَ نَظَرُ ناظِرٍ في مَجْدِ جَبَرُوتِكَ .

اِرْتَفَعَتْ عِنْ صِفَةِ الْمَخْلُوقينَ صِفاتُ قُدْرَتِكَ ، وَعَلا عَنْ ذلِكَ كِبْرِياءُ عَظَمَتِكَ ، لايَنْقُصُ ما أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يَزْدادَ ، وَلايَزْدادُ ما أَرَدْتَ أَنْ يَنْقُصَ ، لا أَحَدَ حَضَرَكَ حينَ بَرَأْتَ النُّفُوسَ ، كَلَّتِ الْأَوْهامُ عَنْ تَفْسيرِ صِفَتِكَ ، وَانْحَسَرَتِ الْعُقُولُ عَنْ كُنْهِ عَظَمَتِكَ ، وَكَيْفَ تُوْصَفُ وَأَنْتَ الْجَبَّارُ الْقُدُّوسُ ، اَلَّذي لَمْ تَزَلْ أَزَلِيّاً دائِماً فِي الْغُيُوبِ وَحْدَكَ لَيْسَ فيها غَيْرُكَ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَها سِواكَ .

حارَ في مَلَكُوتِكَ عَميقاتُ مَذاهِبِ التَّفْكيرِ ، فَتَواضَعَتِ الْمُلُوكُ لِهَيْبَتِكَ ، وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ بِذُلِّ الْإِسْتِكانَةِ لَكَ ، وَانْقادَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لِعَظَمَتِكَ ، وَاسْتَسْلَمَ كُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ لِقُدْرَتِكَ ، وَخَضَعَتْ لَكَ الرِّقابُ ، وَ كَلَّ دُونَ ذلِكَ تَحْبيرُ اللُّغاتِ ، وَضَلَّ هُنالِكَ التَّدْبيرُ في تَصاريفِ الصِّفاتِ ، فَمَنْ تَفَكَّرَ في ذلِكَ رَجَعَ طَرْفُهُ إِلَيْهِ حَسيراً ، وَعَقْلُهُ مَبْهُوراً ، وَتَفَكُّرُهُ مُتَحَيِّراً .

أَللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مُتَواتِراً مُتَوالِياً مُتَّسِقاً مُسْتَوْثِقاً ، يَدُومُ وَلايَبيدُ غَيْرَ مَفْقُودٍ فِي الْمَلَكُوتِ، وَلا مَطْمُوسٍ فِي الْمَعالِمِ، وَلا مُنْتَقِصٍ فِي الْعِرْفانِ ، وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ ما لاتُحْصى مَكارِمُهُ فِي اللَّيْلِ إِذا أَدْبَرَ، وَالصُّبْحِ إِذا أَسْفَرَ، وَفِي الْبَراري وَالْبِحارِ ، وَالْغُدُوِّ وَالْآصالِ ، وَالْعَشِيِّ وَالْإِبْكارِ ، وَفِي الظَّهائِرِ وَالْأَسْحارِ .

أَللَّهُمَّ بِتَوْفيقِكَ قَدْ أَحْضَرْتَنِي الرَّغْبَةَ، وَجَعَلْتَني مِنْكَ في وِلايَةِ الْعِصْمَةِ لَمْ أَبْرَحْ في سُبُوغِ نَعْمائِكَ ، وَتَتابُعِ آلائِكَ مَحْفُوظاً لَكَ فِي الْمَنْعَةِ وَالدِّفاعِ مَحُوطاً بِكَ في مَثْوايَ وَمُنْقَلَبي، وَلَمْ تُكَلِّفْني فَوْقَ طاقَتي .

إِذْ لَمْ تَرْضَ مِنّي إِلّا طاعَتي ، وَلَيْسَ شُكْري وَإِنْ أَبْلَغْتُ فِي الْمَقالِ وَبالَغْتُ فِي الْفِعالِ بِبالِغِ أَداءِ حَقِّكَ ، وَلا مُكافِياً لِفَضْلِكَ ، لِأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الَّذي لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، لَمْ تَغِبْ وَلا تَغيبُ عَنْكَ غائِبَةٌ ، وَلاتَخْفى عَلَيْكَ خافِيَةٌ ، وَلَمْ تَضِلَّ لَكَ في ظُلَمِ الْخَفِيَّاتِ ضالَّةٌ ، إِنَّما أَمْرُكَ إِذا أَرَدْتَ شَيْئاً أَنْ تَقُولَ لَهُ كُنْ فَيَكُونُ .

أَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ مِثْلَ ما حَمِدْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ ، وَحَمِدَكَ بِهِ الْحامِدُونَ ، وَمَجَّدَكَ بِهِ الْمُمَجِّدُونَ ، وَكَبَّرَكَ بِهِ الْمُكَبِّرُونَ ، وَعَظَّمَكَ بِهِ الْمُعَظِّمُونَ ، حَتَّى يَكُونَ لَكَ مِنّي وَحْدي بِكُلِّ طَرْفَةِ عَيْنٍ ، وَأَقَلَّ مِنْ ذلِكَ مِثْلُ حَمْدِ الْحامِدينَ ، وَتَوْحيدِ أَصْنافِ الْمُخْلِصينَ ، وَتَقْديسِ أَجْناسِ الْعارِفينَ ، وَثَناءِ جَميعِ الْمُهَلِّلينَ ، وَمِثْلُ ما أَنْتَ بِهِ عارِفٌ مِنْ جَميعِ خَلْقِكَ مِنَ الْحَيَوانِ ، وَأَرْغَبُ إِلَيْكَ في رَغْبَةِ ما أَنْطَقْتَني بِهِ مِنْ حَمْدِكَ ، فَما أَيْسَرَ ما كَلَّفْتَني بِهِ مِنْ حَقِّكَ ، وَأَعْظَمَ ما وَعَدْتَني عَلى شُكْرِكَ .

اِبْتَدَأْتَني بِالنِّعَمِ فَضْلاً وَطَوْلاً ، وَأَمَرْتَني بِالشُّكْرِ حَقّاً وَعَدْلاً ، وَوَعَدْتَني عَلَيْهِ أَضْعافاً وَمَزيداً ، وَأَعْطَيْتَني مِنْ رِزْقِكَ اعْتِباراً وَفَضْلاً ، وَسَأَلْتَني مِنْهُ يَسيراً صَغيراً ، وَأَعْفَيْتَني مِنْ جُهْدِ الْبَلاءِ وَلَمْ تُسْلِمْني لِلسُّوءِ مِنْ بَلاءِكَ مَعَ ما أَوْلَيْتَني مِنَ الْعافِيَةِ ، وَسَوَّغْتَ مِنْ كَرائِمِ النَّحْلِ ، وَضاعَفْتَ لِيَ الْفَضْلَ مَعَ ما أَوْدَعْتَني مِنَ الْمَحَجَّةِ الشَّريفَةِ ، وَيَسَّرْتَ لي مِنَ الدَّرَجَةِ الْعالِيَةِ الرَّفيعَةِ ، وَاصْطَفَيْتَني بِأَعْظَمِ النَّبِيّينَ دَعْوَةً ، وَأَفْضَلِهِمْ شَفاعَةً ، مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ.

أَللَّهُمَّ فَاغْفِرْ لي ما لايَسَعُهُ إِلّا مَغْفِرَتُكَ ، وَلا يَمْحَقُهُ إِلّا عَفْوُكَ ، وَلا يُكَفِّرُهُ إِلّا فَضْلُكَ، وَهَبْ لي في يَوْمي يَقيناً تُهَوِّنُ عَلَيَّ بِهِ مُصيباتِ الدُّنْيا وَأَحْزانَها بِشَوْقٍ إِلَيْكَ ، وَرَغْبَةٍ فيما عِنْدَكَ ، وَاكْتُبْ لي عِنْدَكَ الْمَغْفِرَةَ ، وَبَلِّغْنِي الْكَرامَةَ، وَارْزُقْني شُكْرَ ما أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ، فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللَّهُ الْواحِدُ الرَّفيعُ الْبَدي‏ءُ الْبَديعُ السَّميعُ الْعَليمُ، اَلَّذي لَيْسَ لِأَمْرِكَ مَدْفَعٌ ، وَلا عَنْ قَضائِكَ مُمْتَنِعٌ ، أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ رَبّي وَرَبُّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ، فاطِرُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهادَةِ ، اَلْعَلِيُّ الْكَبيرُ .

O' Allah! You are the real King, there is no god except You, I am Your servant who has oppressed himself, I am confessing my sins and no one pardon sin except You, so pardon me, O' the Forgiver, the Praise worthy.

O' Allah! I appreciates Your bounty on me, really You deserve appreciation for what You have specialize for me in endowment and aspirations, and what reaches me among Your abundant favour and Your benefactions, You dwell me in justice and Your favour which has also reach me, among the favour You bestowed on me was Your defending me at all condition, You have also granted me success and answering of my call at any time I call upon You.

I call You connectively and I ask You but I met You to have comforted me in every aspect, and You look over all my affairs, You have pardon all my sins, You have covered all my nakedness, I am not lack of Your benefaction since I descend to this house of choice,^{^[2]} then what shall I present to You on the Day of Judgment? I am Your freeman in every lost and misfortunes, in grief and dejections for which anxiety and different categories of afflictions has overcome me, and remove all the pains decided on me, I don't remind anything from you except courtesy and I did not envisage in You except favour.

Your benefaction encompasses me, Your favour is continuously pouring on me, Your blessing on me is connected, the antecedent didn't establish my caution rather You confirm my hope and accompany my journeys and You honoured my present and cured my sickness and feebleness, You also pardon my recourse and my dwellings, and my enemies were not able to rejoice upon me, You should afflict those that desired to afflict me, and You suffice me the burden of those in enmity with me.

My praise on You is continuous and my commendation on You is everlasting from time to time, with varieties of glorification and sincere remembrance, pleasing with Your obvious Oneness^{^[3]} and Your sincere exaltation in multitude, which increase peoples merit, which did not toil your strength and it didn't associate with Your divineness, You are not known to be hydrology till various things possess similarity, You are not seen with eye when You hold thing from their instinct, and imagination can never go beyond hidden covers, belief in You is limited to Your tremendousness, deep imagination cannot perceive You, deep thought cannot accomplish You and vision can't reach You in the glory of Your omnipotence.

The attribution of Your strength is more exalted than that of Your creatures, and Your tremendousness is more exalted than that, no one decreases what You desired to increases and no one increases whatYou desired to decreases, no one made You punctual when creating the souls, the imaginations is too weary to describe Your attributes, the senses is are too abate to give the true nature of Your sublimity, how could You be described while You are the Omnipotent and the most Holy, Who did not seize to be everlasting in Your oneness which there is none beside You and there is none like You.

Different profound of creeds and thoughts are perplexed in Your kingdom, the entire kings are humble due to Your solemnity, every face yield in humbleness due to submissiveness to You, and every thing comply to Your tremendousness, and all thing surrender to Your Mightiness, and all head succumb to Your Will, thought of any thing beside that is just a language composition, and some went astray due to direction in vicissitude of attributes, whoever ponder on that shows that his shortsightedness, and dazzle of his sense and puzzle in his thought.

O' Allah! You owned continuous, consecutive, consistent and firm thanks, one who is not missing can't perish in the kingdom, and there is no obliteration on the milestones and no debase in cognition, You own commendation which its exaltedness is not known in the night when it turns back and in the morning when it is beaming And in the land and sea, in the early morning and before sun set, in the evening and early morning, and in the noon and early dawn.

O' Allah! With Your prosperity You have granted me inclination and having putting me among the allegiance of the infallible ones, yet I have not accomplished Your bounties and Your sequence preserved favour, Your inaccessibility and defense in You and You have granted it to me in my dwelling and recourse, You have not charged me more than my capability, hence You are not pleased with me except my obedience.

Not my thanksgiving even though I culminate in my sayings and actions can give Your right to You, and there is no any equivalent to Your favour, because You are Allah and there is no god except You. You are not absent and nothing is absent to You, and all things that are hiding are not hidden to You , and nothing can be hidden to You in the hidden darkness, it is Your command that if You wish anything to be You say be and it become.

O' Allah! You own the praise which You praised Yourself, and those that praise You, and those that commend You, and those that proclaim Your greatness and tremendousness, may commendation to You be equivalent to every twinkling of eyes, the least of that is the praise of those that praise You, and the Monotheism of different categories of the sincere ones, and the dedication of all the categories of the cognizant ones, and commendation of every one that glorifies You, equivalent to Your knowledge of all the creatures among the animal, I desired the opportunity You have granted me to converse Your glorification, how little the responsibility You made incumbent out of Your Right on me! And it is so great what You promise me for giving thanks to You.You commence bestowing upon me with bounty, favour and strength and commanded me to give thanks for the right and Justice that was bestowed on me, and You promise to give double and additional return of that to me, You granted me favour out of Your provision and requested little out of that from me, You take afflictions away from me and You didn't surrendered me to Your tribulations due to the good health granted to me, and You have permitted honour from the bees, and has double favour on me from my deposited noble destination and has made easy an exalted rank for me, and has chosen for me the great out of the Prophets, the best of them in intercession, Muhammad, may the blessing of Allah be upon him and upon his progeny.

O' Allah! Pardon me in all that is not encompassed except Your forgiveness, and the sin that cannot be wiped out except with Your pardon, and the sin that cannot be remitted except by Your grace, grant me on this very day the certainty that shall facilitates for me the calamities of this world and its sorrow due to my yearning in You, and my desire in You, O' Allah write forgiveness for my sins with You, and grant me favour, grant me the opportunity to give thanks for what You have bestowed on me, verily You are Allah, the Only, the Exalted one, the Beginner, the Magnificent, the All-seeing, the All-knowing whose command cannot be rejected and no one can abstain from Your judgment, I bear witness that verily You are my Lord and the Lord of everything, the Creator of the Heaven and the Earth, who has the knowledge of every obvious and hidden things, He who is the Great and the Exalted one.O' Allah I requested firmness in my affairs from You, and determinations in guidance, and appreciation of Your bounty on me, I seek refuge in You from the evils of the evil doers and the oppression of the oppressors, and the envy of the envious ones, through You I gained power over my enemies and through You I hope for the allegiance of the uncountable well-wishers, Your branches of favour and provision cannot be counted, and the variety of Your assistance that You has bestowed on me, surely You are Allah, there is no god except You, You spread Your assistance among the creations who is openhanded in generosity, and no one contradict Your judgment and no one disputed with Your commandment, You possess what ever You desired among Your creatures, and no possessions except what You wishes

{say, O' God, master of the kingdom, Thou givest the kingdom to whom Thou wilt, and seizest the kingdom from whom Thou wilt, Thou exaltest whom Thou wilt, and Thou abasest whom Thou wilt, in Thy hand is the good; Thou art powerful over every thing. Thou makest the night to enter in to the day and Thou makest the day to enter into night, Thou bringest forth the living from the dead and Thou bringest forth the dead from the living, and Thou providest whomsoever Thou wilt without reckoning}.^{^[4]}

You are the Benefactor, the Generous, the Creator, the Originator, the Most Powerful, the Mighty, the Holy one in the light of sanctity, You are covered with Glory and prestige,You are being glorified with pride and covered with light of Magnificence, and glorified with dignity and sublimity, You owned the pre-existent favour, and the high kingdom, You are vast in generosity and competent in power, You made me among the best of Adam's children by making me to hear and see, excellent, sound and healthy. You did not engage me with defects in my body; hence Your honour did not deprive me of that. How excellent work You have done to me! And how excellent Your good bounties on me! You have broaden things for me in this world and has honoured me with a lot of things in it, You have given ears to me for hearing Your verses and mind to think over Your Mightiness, I am very grateful for Your favour and I am grateful for my certainty in You, and I have witness Your Right.

Verily You exist before any existence, and shall exist after every existence, the Existed one who did not benefits from other existence, at any time Your bounties did not stop falling on me even a twinkle of eye, and Your resentment punishment did not fell on me, and Your protection on me never change, even though I did not remember Your benefactions save Your pardon and acceptance of my prayers when I raise my head in Your commendation and glorification, and portion of the provisions when You evaluated it. Praise be upon You equivalent to the encompassed number in Your knowledge and equivalent to the number of things encompassed by Your strength and equivalent to the number covered by Your Mercifulness.

O' Allah! Perfect Your bounties on me for the rest part of my life as You have done for the past, verily I am seeking means to You through Your Oneness, Your glorification, Your commendation, Your praise,Your greatness, Your exaltedness, Your light, Your clemency, Your mercy, Your highness, Your gracefulness, Your majesty, Your magnificence, Your kingdom, Your power, and for the sake of Muhammad and his holy and pure progeny not to deprive me of Your favour and benefits, because too much request that outflow you did not make you to become miser, and not giving appreciation for Your favour did not decrease Your generosity, and Your store never exhausted due to Your gift, You don't fear of poverty talk much of becoming stinging, You don't fear of exhaustation so that You decrease Your favour on us.

O' Allah! Grant me a submissive mind, true certainty, tongue for Your remembrance, don't grant me tranquility from Your punishment and don't uncover Your veil from me, don't let me abandon Your remembrance, don't distance me from Your vicinity, don't cut me from Your mercy, don�t let me loose hope in You, be my companion in every frighten circumstances, protect me from every destruction and rescued me from every tribulation, surely You never fail Your covenant.

O' Allah! Raise me and don't let me down, increase Your bounties on me and don't decrease it, have mercy on me and don't punish me, help me and don't disappoint me, favour me and don't affect me, may Allah's blessing and abundant peace be on Muhammad and on the pure and purified family of Muhammad.

Ibn e Abbas (R.A.) narrates the continuation of Imam�s word in the following manner:

�Make sure you memorize it, and the entire supplication should be recited in one day. Verily, I am hopeful that while you will reach your land, Allah will have destroyed your enemy completely.

Indeed, I heard from the Messenger of Allah that he said: If a man recites this supplication with a rightful intention and humble heart, then command the mountains to walk along with him, they will surely walk behind him, and if he commands the seas, he will be able to walk over them�.

That man went back towards his land, and after forty days, his letter reached Imam Ali (A.S.) in which he said: the truth is that Allah has destroyed my enemy, such that not even a single man from their land has remained.

�I already knew about it. And this truth was taught to me by the Holy Prophet (P.B.U.H.); there is no difficult affair that does not become easy for me with the help of this supplication�.^{^[5]}

[2]- In Al-Bihar 95: 242 this statement was written as house of examination and not house of choice.

[3]- This was written in different words in various books but what we have mentioned is more acqurate.

[5] Bihar ul Anwaar: 95/240; Muhaj ud Da�waat: 137 (with slight difference).

It has been narrated in the book �Darus Salaam� that: I found the Manuscript of Allama Majlisi, the First, behind a supplication famously known as the Yamani Amulet, in the following way:

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. All Praises are due to Allah, Who is the Lord of the worlds. And Peace be upon the noblest of all the Prophets, Mohammad (peace be upon him) and his holy Progeny.

The honourable Sayyid Ameer Mohammad Hashim � May Allah support him and bless him with continuous success � asked me to give him the permission of the Yamani Amulet which is associated with the Commander of the Faithful, the Imam of the Pious, and the best creation after the Chief of Prophets (peace be upon them).

Therefore, I am giving him the permission of narrating this supplication; with my authority chain wherein I have narrated from Ameer Ishaque Astarabadi (who is buried in Karbala near the grave of the Master of all the dwellers of heaven), who narrated from Imam Mahdi (A.S.).

Respected Sayyid said: I was on my way to Mecca when I was left behind my caravan, until I lost all hope of living and began to utter the �Shahadatayn� like a person who is nearing his death. Suddenly, I witnessed that our Master, Imam Mahdi (A.S.), was standing near me.

His holiness said: O� Ishaque! Rise. I stood up while I was thirsty, he quenched my thirst and made me sit behind him on his ride. Then I began to recite this Amulet and his holiness corrected my mistakes until the supplication reached its end. At that point, I found myself in �Abtah�. We descended the ride and his holiness couldn�t be seen anymore, and my caravan reached that place after nine days.

It became famous between the people of Mecca that I have reached there by �Tayy ul Ard� (traveling miraculously in the shortest of time). Therefore, after performing the rituals of pilgrimage, I went into hiding.

Late Majlisi the first says: He (Ameer Ishaque Astarabadi) had gone forty times for pilgrimage on his feet. When I met him in Isfahan, he had arrived from Karbala with the intention of visiting Imam Reza (A.S.) in Mashhad. He owed 7 Toman to his wife as her �Mehr�, and was liable to pay this same amount to one of the residents of Mashhad.

On the other hand, he had witnessed in his dream that he is nearing his death. Sayyid said: I resided in Karbala for fifty years hoping to die there, and now I fear that I will die on some land other than Karbala.

When a friend of mine became aware of this incident, he gave 7 Toman to Sayyid and sent one of the religious brothers along with him.

That man says: When Sayyid reached Karbala and paid off his debts (to his wife), he fell sick and passed away on the ninth day of his illness, and buried in his own house. Many such miracles were witnessed of him even when he lived in Isfahan.

I have several permissions for this holy narration but will suffice with this permission itself. I request him (Ameer Mohammad Hashim) to remember me on the places where the possibility of the supplications being accepted is higher. And I want him to recite this supplication only for the Pleasure of Allah, and never for the destruction of his enemy if his enemy is from the believers, even if he is a sinner or tyrant. And he should not recite this prayer for collecting the pleasure of this lowly world, but it should be recited only to attain nearness to Allah and to repel the evils of all the devils, both human and Jinn, from himself and from all the believers. He should have such an intention if it may be possible for him, and if not, it is better to stay away from any intention except for the nearness of Allah.

These points are written by someone who needs the divine mercy the most, i.e. Mohammad Taqi Majlisi son of Majlisi Isfahani, while I exalt the Almighty and ask Him to bless the Chief of the Prophets (peace be upon him). This is the end of his word. May Allah elevate his grade in heaven eternally!

His son, Late Majlisi (R.A.), has mentioned this incident regarding the visitation of Imam Mahdi (A.S.) by Ameer Ishaque in the thirteenth volume of his book �Bihar ul Anwaar�, but it is quite different from the incident we mentioned here.^{^[1]}

Allama Majlisi (R.A.) says: the Yamani Amulet, which is also known as the supplication of Saifi, is one amongst the well-known supplications. It has been mentioned in several ways and by different narrations but we will mention the best narration here (by Allah�s will):

Abu Abdullah, Hussain bin Ibrahim bin Ali Fatti, better known as Ibn e Khayyat, reports for us saying: Abu Mohammad Haroon bin Moosa Tal�akbari told me:

Abul Qasim Abdul Wahid (Abdullah) bin Yunus Musili narrated for me in Halab that Ali bin Mohammad bin Ahmad, better known as Mustanjid, reported to me that: Abul Hasan Katib narrated for me that Abdur Rahman bin Ali bin Ziyad said: Abdullah bin Abbas and Abdullah bin Ja�far said:

One day, while we were in the company of our Master, Imam Ali (A.S.), Hasan bin Ali (A.S.) arrived and said:

O� Commander of the Faithful! A man has arrived and he seeks permission to visit you. He has the smell of Musk.

A good looking man with a nice built and deep face, formal accent and royal clothes, appeared and said:

Peace be upon You O� Ameer ul Momineen! I have come from one of the farthest places of Yemen and I belong to one of the senior Arabs from your devotees. I had a great kingdom and possessed enormous bounties of life, was living a peaceful and happy life with growing wealth. I had gained sufficient experiences in life and it has examined me thoroughly. I had a ferocious enemy who attacked me with his huge army and the great powers he had gathered, and achieved victory over me. The ways of deceits and escape from him left me helpless and wandering.

One night, I had slept off when a person called me: O� man! Rise and go towards the best creation of Allah after His Messenger (P.B.U.H.), i.e. Ali bin Abi Talib (A.S.), and request him to teach you the supplication which was taught to him by Allah�s special friend, Mohammad (P.B.U.H.); because that supplication is the exclusive Name of Allah. Call Allah by reciting that supplication and curse your enemy who defeated you in the fight.

O� Commander of the Faithful! I woke up quickly and came to you with a group of four hundred men. And I hold Allah, His Messenger and You, as witnesses that I have released all of them and I am here to performed this act only for the sake of Allah. Now, I have come to you with a thin and aggrieved body from an uneven path and a far way land. Have mercy over me and with your grace and dignity, and also for the sake of your fatherhood and relationship with me, teach me the supplication regarding which I was informed in my sleep and was commanded to seek it from your holy threshold.

SUPPLICATION OF HIJAB (CONCEALMENT), from Enemy SAHIFA MAHDI

أَللَّهُمَّ احْجُبْني عَنْ عُيُونِ أَعْدائي ، وَاجْمَعْ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ أَوْلِيائي ، وَأَنْجِزْ لي ما وَعَدْتَني ، وَاحْفَظْني في غَيْبَتي إِلى أَنْ تَأْذَنَ لي في ظُهُوري ، وَأَحْيِ بي ما دَرَسَ مِنْ فُرُوضِكَ وَسُنَنِكَ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجي ، وَسَهِّلْ مَخْرَجي .

وَاجْعَلْ لي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصيراً ، وَافْتَحْ لي فَتْحاً مُبيناً ، وَاهْدِني صِراطاً مُسْتَقيماً ، وَقِني جَميعَ ما اُحاذِرُهُ مِنَ الظَّالِمينَ ، وَاحْجُبْني عَنْ أَعْيُنِ الْباغِضينَ ، اَلنَّاصِبينَ الْعَداوَةَ لِأَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ ، وَلايَصِلْ مِنْهُمْ إِلَيَّ أَحَدٌ بِسُوءٍ .

فَإِذا أَذِنْتَ في ظُهُوري فَأَيِّدْني بِجُنُودِكَ ، وَاجْعَلْ مَنْ يَتَّبِعُني لِنُصْرَةِ دينِكَ مُؤَيَّدينَ، وَفي سَبيلِكَ مُجاهِدينَ، وَعَلى مَنْ أَرادَني وَأَرادَهُمْ بِسُوءٍ مَنْصُورينَ، وَوَفِّقْني لِإِقامَةِ حُدُودِكَ، وَانْصُرْني عَلى مَنْ تَعَدَّى مَحْدُودَكَ.

وَانْصُرِ الْحَقَّ ، وَأَزْهِقِ الْباطِلَ ، إِنَّ الْباطِلَ كانَ زَهُوقاً ، وَأَوْرِدْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ شيعَتي وَأَنْصاري مَنْ تَقَِرُّ بِهِمُ الْعَيْنُ ، وَيَشُدُّ بِهِمُ الْأَزْرُ ، وَاجْعَلْهُمْ في حِرْزِكَ وَأَمْنِكَ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .

O� Allah, hide me from the eyes of my enemies, and gather me with my friends, and fulfill that which You have promised me, and protect me in my occultation until You permit me for reappearance, and revive through me those obligations and recommendations which have turned old, and hasten in my relief, and ease my exit, and allocate a dominating support for me from Your threshold, and help me succeed with an apparent victory, and guide me to the straight path, and protect me from all those transgressors I fear, and conceal me from the eyes of those who have grudge against me, those who hold enmity against the household of Your Prophet, and do not let anyone reach me with their wickedness; thus when you permit my reappearance, strengthen me with Your army, and support those who follow me for supporting Your religion, and those who fight in Your path, and make them victorious over those who have wicked intentions for me and for them, and help me succeed in the establishment of Your regulations, and support me against those who trespass Your boundaries, and help the truth, and defeat the evil, indeed evil is ending, and bring near me those Shias and companions whose vision cools my eyes, and strengthen my back, and regard them in Your protection and safety, with Your mercy, O� the most Merciful of the merciful. ^{^[1]}

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. The acceptance of these supplications made it possible for us to live there and repel all the difficulties, becoming the guarantor of our safety from these happenings. We thank God for it.^{^[2]}

The Imam Hassan Al Askari(as) �s Amulet

https://www.duas.org/Sahraz/hasanaskariashtml/Imamaskariduas.htm

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.) felt from the Abbasids, and therefore, he resorted to Allah to save him and his family from their (the Abbasid�s) oppression and plotting.

He also charmed 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]

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 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!

[1] The unjust ruler.
[2] The awaited savior.
[3] He meant by �the truth� the savior who would rule with justice, and remove all kinds of oppression.

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]
