22.Supplications after Every Obligatory Prayers 82 Rabeeul Anaam Fi Adeea-e-Khairil Anaam
The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim writes, “There are times and occasions in which supplications for the hidden Imam, Hazrat Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) have been emphasized, asking Allah for his early reappearance, and these have been supported by Quranic verses, traditions and the intellect. There are numerous invocations, narrated on the authority of the infallible Imams (a.s.) in this regard. A few of them we shall mention hereunder:i)Supplications after Every Obligatory Prayer
Shaykh Saduq (a.r.), in “ مَنْ لَ يَحْضُرُهُ الْفَقِيهْ ” narrates from the ninth Imam, Muhammad al-Jawad (a.s.), the following supplication:
وَ آلِهكِ وَ سكَلّمْ نَبِي اَ وَ بِعَلٰى وَ لِي اَ،
وَ بِالْحَسكَنِ وَ الْحُسكَيْنِ وَ عَلٰى بْنكِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمّدِ بْنِ عَلٰى وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمّدٍ وَ مُوسَی بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَ عَلٰى وَ الْحُجّةِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلٰى عَلَيْهِمُ اَلسّلَمُ اَئِمّةً.
اََللّهُمّ وَلِيّكَ الْحُجّةُ،
فَاحْفَظْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ وَ عَنْ يَمِيْنِهِ وَ عَنْ شِمَالِ هِ وَ مِ نْ فَوْقِ هِ وَ مِ نْ تَحْتِ هِ،
وَ اُمْدُدْ لَ هُ فِ يْ عُمُرِ هِ،
وَ اجْعَلْ هُ الْقَائِ مَ بِاَمْرِ كَ الْمُنْتَصِرَ لِدِيْنِكَ،
وَ اَرِ هِ م اَ يُحِب وَ تَقَرّبِهِ عَيْنُهُ فِ يْ نَفْسِهِ وَ فِ يْ ذُرّيّتِهِ وَ اَهْلِهِ وَ مَالِهِ وَ فِيْ شِيْعَتِهِ وَ فِيْ عَدُوّهِ،
وَ اَرِهِمْ مِنْهُ مَا يَحْذَرُوْنَ،
وَ اَرِهِ فِيْهِمْ ماَ يُحِب و تَقَرّبِهِ عَيْنُهُ،
وَ اشْفِ بِهِ صُدُوْرَنَا وَ صُدُوْرَ قَوْمٍ مُؤْمِنِيْنَ.
ii)Invocation for the renewal of allegiance for Imam-e-zamaan (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory daily prayers: Allama Majlisi in Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from the book, “Al- Ikhteyaar” of Sayyed Ibn Baaqi, that Imam Sadeq (a.s.) said, “One who recites this supplication after every obligatory daily prayers, then he will certainly get the privilege of seeing Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), in sleep or otherwise.
اََللّهُمّ بَلّغْ مَوْلَنَا صَاحِبَ الزّمَانِ،
اَيْنَمَا كَانَ وَ حَيْثُمَا كَانَ،
مِنْ مَشَارِقِ اْلَرْضِ وَ مَغَارِبِهَا، سَهْلِهَا وَ جَبَلِهَا،

اََللّهُم اِنّىْ اُجَدّدُ لَ هُ فِ يْ صَبِيْحَةِ هٰذَا الْيَوْ مِ وَ م اَ عِشْتُ فِيْ هِ مِ نْ اَي اَ مِ حَيَاتِىْ،

لَ اَحُوْلُ عَنْهَا وَ لَ اَزُوْلُ اَبَدًا.
اََللّهُمّ اجْعَلْنِىْ مِنْ اَنْصَارِهِ وَ الذّابّيْنَ عَنْهُ،
وَ الْمُمْتَثِلِيْنَ لَوَ امِرِهِ وَ نَوَ اهِيْهِ فِيْ اَيَا مِهِ،
وَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدِينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ.
اََللّهُمّ اِنْ حَالَ بَيْنِىْ وَ بَيْنَهُ الْمَوْتُ الّذِىْ جَعَلْتَهُ عَلٰی عِبَادِكَ حَتْمًا مَقْضِيَا،
فَاَخْرِجْنِىْ مِنكْ قَبْرِىْ، مُؤْتَزِرًا كَفَنِىْ، شَاهِرًا سكَيْفِيْ،

اََللّهُمّ اشْدُدْ اَزْرَهُ وَ قَوَ ظَهْرَهُ وَ طَوَ لْ عُمْرَهُ،

فَاَظْهِرِ اللّهُمّ لَنَا وَلِيّكَ وَ ابْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِيّكَ،
الْمُسَمّیٰ بِاسْمِ رَسُولِكَ صَلّی ال عَلَيْ هِ وَ آلِ هِ،

اََللّهُمّ اکْشِفْ هٰذِهِ الْغُمّةَ عَنْ هٰذِهِ اْلُمّةِ بِظُهُوْرِهِ،
اِنّهُمْ يَرَوْنَهُ بَعِيْدًا وَ نَرَاهُقَرِيْبًا،
وَ صَلّی ال عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.
iii)Supplication Enhances Longevity
Among the deeds that are stressed upon, is to pray for the early reappearance of Imam al-Mahdi (a.t.f.s.) after every obligatory prayer. The author of Mikyaal al-Makaarim has supported this idea with the help of the following tradition which says, “Whoever recites the following invocation after every obligatory prayer, his life will be prolonged till he sees Imam-e-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.).”
اََللّهُم اِن رَسكُولَكَ الصكّادِقَ الْمُصَدّقَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ قَالَ اِنّكَ قُلْتُ: ’’مَا تَرَدّدْتُ فِيْ شَىْءٍ اَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدّدىِْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِىَ الْمُؤْمِنِ،
يَکْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ اَنا اَکْرَهُ مَسَائَتَهُ.‘‘
اََللّهُمّ فَصَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ،
وَ عَجّلْ لَوْلِيَائِكَ الْفَرْجَ وَ النّصْرَ وَ الْعَافِيْةَ،
وَ لَ تَسُوْنِىْ نَفْسِىْ وَ لَ فِيْ فُلنٍ.
قَالَ )عليه السلم(: وَ تَذْکُرُ مَنْ شِئْتَ.
1 Mikyaal al-Makaarim, vol. 2, p. 4; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 61 narrating from Ikhteyaar of Ibn al-Baaqee.
iv ) Another Invocation for Longevity
Allama Majlisi, in Kitab al-Salaat of Behaar al-Anwaar, narrates from “Falaah al-Saael” of the renowned scholar, Sayed Ibn Tawoos, who writes, “Abu Muhammad Haroon Ibn Musa relates from Abu al-Hasan Ali Ibn Yaqub al-Ajali al-Kesaai, from Ali Ibn al-Hasan Ibn Fazaalah, from Ja’far Ibn Muhammad Ibn Hakeem, from Jameel Ibn Darraaj, who recounts, “ A man came to the presence of Imam Sadeq (a.s.) and said, “O Master! I have become old and my relatives have died. I am afraid that I too may become a victim of the clutches of death while I don’t have anybody with whom I am acquainted and can refer to him.” Imam (a.s.) replied, “Surely among your believing brothers, there is somebody who is very close to you in relation. Your closeness with him is to the extent of intimacy. Yet, it is necessary that after every prayer, you recite the following supplication:
اََللّهُم اِن ال صّادِقَ عَلَيْ هِ اَل سّلَمُ قَالَ: اِنّكَ قُلْتُ:
’’مَا تَرَدّدْتُ فِيْ شَیْءٍ اَنَا فَاعِلُهُ كَتَرَدّدىِْ فِيْ قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِىَ الْمُؤْمِنِ، يَکْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَ اَکْرَهُ مَسَائَتَهُ.‘‘
اََللّهُمّ فَصَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ وَ عَجّلْ لِوَلِيّكَ الْفَرَجَ وَ الْعَافِيْةَ وَ النّصْرَ،
وَ لَ تَسُؤْنِىْ فِيْ نَفْسِىْ وَ لَ فِيْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ اَحِبّتِىْ.
v) Supplication of Revenge ( (النتقام
Imam Sadeq (a.s.) says, “Among our rights on our Shias is that they hold their beards and say after every obligatory prayer thrice,
اِحْفَظكْ غَيْبَةَ مُحَمّدٍ، يَا رَبّ مُحَمّدٍ،
اِنْتَقِمْ لِبْنَةِ مُحَمّدٍ صَلّی الُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلّمَ.

vi)Supplications During and After Prayers 87
اَ سْئَلَكَ بِحَقّكَ عَلٰى خِيَرَتِكَ مِ نْ خَلْقِكَ،
وَ بِحَقّهِ مُ الّذِىْ اَوْجَبْتَ لَهُ مْعَلٰی نَفْ سِكَ،
اَ نْ تُ صَلّىَ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ اَهْلِ بَيْتِ هِ،
وَ اَ نْ تَمُن عَلٰى السّاعَةَ بِفَكَاكِ رَقَبَتِىْ مِنَ النّارِ،
وَ اَنْجِزْ لِوَلِيّكَ وَ ابْنِ نَبِيّكَ،
الدّاعِىْ اِلَيْكَ بِاِذْنِكَ وَ اَمِيْنِكَ فِ يْ خَلْقِكَ وَ عَيْنِكَ فِ يْ عِبَادِ كَ وَ حُجّتِكَ عَلٰی خَلْقِكَ عَلَيْهِ صَلَوَاتُكَ وَ بَرَكَاتُكَ وَ عْدَهَ،
اََللّهُم اَيّدْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ،
وَ انْصُرْعَبْدَكَ وَ قَوّ اَصْحَابَهُ وَ صَبّرَهُمْ،
وَ افْتَحْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطانًا نَصِيْرًا،
وَ عَجّلْ فَرْجَهُ وَ اَمْكَنَهُ مِنْ اَعْدَائِكَ وَ اَعْدَاءِ رَسُولِكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِيْنَ.
vii)Supplications During and After Prayers 89
I asked, “Whom are you praying for?’ He (a.s.) replied,“It was for al-Mahdi from the progeny of Muhammad.”
Then he (a.s.) said,
اَحْمَشُ السّاقَيْنِ، بَعِيدُ مَا بَيْنَ الْمَنْكِبَيْنِ، اَسْمَرُ اللّوْنِ، يَعْتَوْرُهُ مَعَ سُمْرَتِهِ صُفْرَةٌ مِنْ سَهَرَ اللّيْلِ،
بِاَبِیْ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ يُرْعٰی النّجُوْمُ سَاجِدًا وَ رَاكِعًا.
بِاَبِیْ مَنْ لَ يَا خُذُهُ فِی الِ لَوْمَةُ لَئِمٍ، مِصْبَاحُ الدّجٰی. بِاَبِیْ الْقَائِمِ بِاَمْرِ الِ.

O Allah! I beseech You in Your Name: the well-guarded, stored, pure, immaculate, and blessed. And I beseech You in Your Great Name and Your mighty and eternal Kingdom. O Donor of gifts! O Releaser of captives! O Deliverer of necks from the Fire! I beseech You to send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, to deliver me from the Fire, to cause me leave this world with security (from liabilities), to allow me to Paradise with peace, and to make the beginning of my prayer successful, the middle of it a gain, and the end of it a prosperity. Verily, You are the Knower of all unseen things.

يَا كَرِيمُ
ya karimu
O All-generous!
This supplicatory prayer is one of the thirty-one secret supplications of sacredness (i.e. supplications that are reported from Almighty Allah directly) that are said for winning this-worldly and the otherworldly requests.
Our master scholars have quoted these supplicatory prayers through connected chains of authority, and some of them are quoted in Shaykh al-Tusi’s Misbah al-Mutahajjid and al-Kaf`ami’s al-Misbah. To see all these thirty-one supplications, it is advisable to refer to al-Balad al-Amin, the Book of Supplications in Bihar al-Anwar, and al-Jawahir al-Saniyyah.
Twelfth: Al-Barqi, through an authenticated narration, reported Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) as saying, “Whoever repeats ten times the following statement after accomplishing his prayer and before moving his knees from their position, Almighty Allah will erase many of his sins, record for him rewards, and he will be regarded as having recited the Holy Qur’an entirely twelve times.
اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلهَ اِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ
اِلها واحِدا اَحَدا صَمَدا لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدا.
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah,
One and Only and having no associate with Him (in Godhead);
He is the One God,the Unique, the Besought of all,
and He has taken to Himself neither a wife nor a son.
Very much more merits have been reported for uttering this statement of professing Almighty Allah being the One and Only God (i. e. Tahlil) , especially after the Dawn and Evening Prayers and at sunrise and sunset.
Thirteenth: Al-Kulayni, Ibn Baabwayh, and others have reported through authentic chains of authority that Imam al-Sadiq (a. s. ) said, “Archangel Gabriel came to Prophet Joseph (a. s. ) who was in the prison and taught him to say the following supplicatory prayer after each prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لى فَرَجا وَمَخْرَجا
وَارْزُقْنى مِنْ حَيْثُ اَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا اَحْتَسِبُ
O Allah, cause all my affairs to arrive at a relief and a way out
and give me sustenance from whence I expect
and from whence I do not expect.
Fifteenth: Al-Kaf’ami reports that a man complained to the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) about his ailment and poverty. The Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) therefore taught him to say the following statement after the obligatory prayers:تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذى لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً
وَلا وَلَدا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىُّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيرا.
I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.
All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son
and Who has not a partner in the kingdom,
and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace;
and magnify Him with all magnificence.
According to another report, the Holy Prophet (s. a. w. a. ) said, “Whenever a tribulation afflicted me, Archangel Gabriel would come to me and instruct me to say these words. ” According to other validly reported traditions, this doxology may be repeated for fending off evil inspirations, settling debts, and saving from poverty. According to other traditions, the following statement precedes the doxology involved:
لاحَوْلَ وَلاقُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللَّهِ.
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
Sixteenth: In his book of al-Muqni’ah, Shaykh al-Mufid has mentioned the following supplicatory prayer to be said after every prayer:
اَللّهُمَّ انْفَعْنا بِالْعِلْمِ وَزَيِّنّا بِالْحِلْمِ وَجَمِّلْنا بِالْعافِيَةِ وَكَرِّمْنا بِالتَّقْوى
اِنَّ وَلِيِّىَ اللَّهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ
O Allah, (please) make us benefit by knowledge,
adorn us with forbearance,
beautify us with wellbeing,
and honor us with piety.
Surely, my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book,
and He guards the righteous ones.
