4. Supplication Recited Everyday Between Iqamah And Salaat
Abdul Rahman Ibn Najraan narrates on the authority of Imam Reza (a.s.) that he (a.s.) advised to recite this supplication :
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّ هٰذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّآمَّةِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ الْقَآئِمَةِ بَلِّغْ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّي اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ الدَّرَجَةَ وَ الْوَسِيْلَةَ وَ الْفَضْلَ وَ الْفَضِيلَةَ
allaahumma rabba haazehid da’watit taam-mate was salaatil qaaa-emate balligh mohammadan sallal laaho a’layhe wa aalehid darajata wal waseelata wal fazla wal fazeelata
O Allah! Lord of this perfect supplication and established prayer, assign to Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his progeny, the rank, right of mediation, excellence, and advantage.

بِاللهِ اَسْتَفْتِحُ وَ بِاللهِ اَسْتَنْجِحُ وَ بِـمُحَمَّدٍ رَسُوْلِ اللهِ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَتَوَجَّهُ.

With Allah do I commence, from Allah do I seek success, and in the name of Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his progeny, do I turn my face (towards Allah).

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ عِنْدَكَ وَجِيْهًا فِيْ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ.‏

O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, and, in their names, make me worthy of regard in this world and in the Hereafter, and of those drawn near to You.0

5. Supplication Seeking Forgiveness – While Listening Azan of Morning and Maghrib -Sahifa Radhvia. Abbas (servant of Imam Reza -as) says: I heard my master saying:
“Whoever listens the azan of Morning and Maghrib should recite this supplication then if he dies that night he would depart this world penitenced and would enter paradise.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ‏ اَسْاَلُكَ بِاِقْبَالِ نَهَارِكَ وَ اِدْبَارِ لَيْلِكَ وَ حُضُوْرِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ اَصْوَاتِ دُعَآئِكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تَتُوْبَ عَلَيَّ اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيْمُ.
allaahumma innee as-aloka be-iqbaale nahaareka wa idbaare layleka wa hozoore salawaateka wa aswaate do-a’aa-eka an tosalleya a’laa mohammadin wa aale mohammadin wa an tatooba a’layya innaka antat tawwaabur raheem.
O Allah! I ask You on behalf of Your morning and Your night, and the voice of Your callers that You send Blessings upon Muhammad and his Household and that You forgive me as You are the Forgiver, the Merciful.

Sayyid Humairi (R.A.), in context of a letter addressed to the holy threshold of Imam Mahdi (A.S.), asked his holiness: Is it permissible to recite the line: “علی ملۃ ابراھیم و دین محمد" in the beginning of prayer with the purpose of attention?
While explaining this question, he also mentioned that a few clerics consider the act of saying: علی دین محمد as Bid’at (innovation) giving the reason that just one Hadith has arrived in the related books, and that too in the book of Qasim bin Mohammad who narrated from his grandfather Hasan bin Rashid that Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said to him:
“How do you begin your prayer?”
He said: “I say: لبیک و سعدیک” (O’ Allah, I accept Your invitation and I am fortunate due to this).
Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said: “This wasn’t my question; my question is that how do you recite this verse in the beginning of your prayer:
وجھت وجھی للذی فطر السماوات و الارض حنیفا مسلما (I have turned towards one who created the heavens and the Earth while I surrender before him and worship him)
Hasan bin Rashid said: "I say it in the same way".
Imam said: “Read this line in this manner:
«على ملّة إبراهيم ودين محمّد صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ومنهاج عليّ بن أبي طالب عليه السلام والإيتمام بآل محمّد حنيفاً مسلماً وما أنا من المشركين» .
(I have faith upon the nation of Ibrahim and the religion of Mohammad and the path of Ali bin Abi Talib, and I offer my prayers accepting the leadership of Mohammad’s Progeny, while I worship and surrender before Allah, without ascribing any partner to Him).


13. Imam Mahdi (A.S.) wrote in reply to Humairi that:
“Paying attention to this supplication is not compulsory but the recommended precaution regarding it, which is also in accordance to the consensus of all the clerics, is the following:
وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذي فَطَرَ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ حَنيفاً مُسْلِماً عَلى مِلَّةِ إِبْراهيمَ وَدينِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَهُدى أَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ وَما أَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكينَ ، إِنَّ صَلاتي وَنُسُكي وَمَحْيايَ وَمَماتي للَّهِِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ، لا شَريكَ لَهُ وَبِذلِكَ اُمِرْتُ وَأَنَا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمينَ . أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْني مِنَ الْمُسْلِمينَ ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ السَّميعِ الْعَليمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطانِ الرَّجيمِ ، بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ .
“I have directed my face towards the one who created the Heavens and the Earth while I am a worshipper who surrenders before Him, I have faith upon the nation of Ibrahim and the religion of Mohammad and the guidance of the Commander of the faithful, indeed my prayer, my rites of sacrifice, my living and my death are for Allah, the Lord of the worlds. No partner has He, and this I have been commanded, and I am the first (among You) of the Muslims. O’ Allah, regard me among the Muslims, I seek refuge in Allah, the Hearer, the Knower, from Satan, the expelled, in the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.”
And recite Suratul Hamd after it.[1]
[1] Biharul Anwaar: 84/359, as per the narration of Al Ihtejaaj: 2/307 .

--Duas during Salah--

Before you begin with the recitation (qira'ah: reciting certain Qur'anic chapters in the prayers), you may say the statement of seeking protection (isti`adhah) in a low tone:
اعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ مِنَ ٱلشَّيْطَانِ ٱلرَّجِيمِ
a`udhu bilalshshaytani alrrajimi
I pray Allah’s protection from Satan, the accursed.

And [it is recommended that] in the first and second rakʿahs of ẓuhr and ʿaṣr prayers, one recites ‘bismillāh’ aloud, and recites Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah distinctly, and pauses at the end of every verse – i.e. he does not join it with the next verse – and while reciting Sūrat al-Ḥamd and the other surah, [it is recommended that] he pays attention to the meaning of the verses. While performing prayers on his own/jamat, after he/imam has completed the recitation of Sūrat al-Ḥamd, [it is recommended that] he says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ‏ الْعَالَمِينَ
alḥamdu lillāhi rabbil ʿālamīn
All praise is for Allah, Lord of the worlds.
…and after completing the recitation of Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ, [it is recommended that] he either says:
كَذٰلِكَ اللهُ رَبِّي
kadhālikal lāhu rabbi
Such is Allah my Lord, or.
كَذٰلِكَ اللهُ رَبُّـنَا
kadhālikal lāhu rabbunā
Such is Allah our Lord.

Upon finishing reciting the second Surah, you may also pause for a while that is as much as one breath. You may then raise your hands up to the lower part of your ears while uttering the Takbir statement. You may then genuflect(rukoo), putting your right hand on your right knee and then your left hand on your left knee, opening up your fingers as if you are holding fast to your knees. You may also bow your back and stretch your neck at the level of your back, casting your sight on the space between your two feet and saying the following 3,5 or 7 times :
سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
subhana rabbiya al`azimi wa bihamdihi
All glory be to my Lord, the All-great, and in praiseof Him.
You may now raise your head from genuflection, stand erect, and say the following:
سَمِعَ ٱللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ
sami`a allahu liman hamidahu
May Allah listen to him who praises Him.
You may now say the prostration statement. Then, you may raise your head from the position of prostration and sit down. While doing this, it is recommended to utter the Takbir statement and to sit on your hip, saying the following:
اسْتَغْفِرُ ٱللَّهَ رَبِّي وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
astaghfiru allahu rabbi wa atubu ilayhi
I implore Allah, my Lord, for forgiveness and I repent to Him.
You may then say Takbir and prostrate again, doing the same as what you have done in the first prostration. You may then raise your head and sit for rest. You may then stand up saying,
بِحَوْلِ ٱللَّهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ اقُومُ وَاقْعُدُ
bihawli allah wa quwwatihi aqumu wa aq`udu
With the might of Allah and with His power, I stand up and sit down.
When you stand erect, you should recite Surah al-Fatihah and another Surah, preferably Surah al-Tawhid, after which you may say the following three times:
كَذٰلِكَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّي
kadhalika allahu rabbi
Such is Allah, my Lord.
You may then say the Takbir statement and raise your hands to the level of your face turning the inner surface (i.e. palm) of your hands towards the sky and combining all your fingers, except the thumb, together and say any of the Qunut supplications,( See qunoot Tab)

Ruling 1089. It is recommended that while saying tashahhud, one should sit with his weight placed on his left thigh, and place the front of his right foot on the sole of his left; and before tashahhud, he should say:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ
alḥamdu lillāh
…or he should say:
بِسْمِ اللهِ وَ بِاللهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ وَ خَیْـرُ الْأَسْمَاءِ لِلّٰهِ
bismil lāhi wa billāhi wal ḥamdu lillāhi wa khayrul asmāʾi lillāh
In the name of Allah and by Allah. All praise is for Allah and the best names belong to Allah.
It is also recommended that one places his hands on his thighs, closes his fingers together, looks at his lap, and says after reciting ṣalawāt in tashahhud:
وَ تَـقَبَّلْ شَفَاعَتَهُ وَ ارْفَعْ دَرَجَتَهُ
wa taqabbal shafāʿatahu war faʿ darajatah<
And accept his intercession* and elevate his rank (referring the Holy Prophet)
Ruling 1000. In the third and fourth rakʿahs, it is recommended that after al-tasbīḥāt al-arbaʿah one seeks forgiveness by saying, for example:
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ رَبِّي وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَیْهِ
astaghfirul lāha rabbī wa atūbu ilayh ..or..
اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي
allāhummagh fir lī
O Allah! Forgive me. In the  Third & Fourth Rakat qiyam it is mustahab to recite after reciting Tasbihat Arba / S Hamd  :-

I seek forgiveness of Allah my Lord and I turn to Him 


In the Ruku, of the last rakaat, after Zikr recite salawat in this way: “Allahumma Sali Ala Muhammadin wa aali Muhammad wa Taraham ala Aajizna wa Aghisna Bihakkihim.”

یَا خَیْـرَ الْمَسْـــــــئُولِینَ وَ یَا خـَـــیْـرَ الْمُعْطِینَ، اُرْزُقْنِي وَ ارْزُقْ عِیَاِلي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، فَإِنَّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِیمِ
yā khayral masʾūlīn wa yā khayral muʿṭīn, urzuqnī war zuq ʿiyālī min faḍlik, faʾinnaka dhūl faḍlil ʿaẓīm
O the Best of those who are Asked, and O the Best Giver! Grant me sustenance and grant my family sustenance with Your grace, for indeed, You are the Possessor of Great Grace;


Upon completing the two prostrations (of the last unit of prayer), you may sit down to utter the statements of tashahhud and taslim. It is recommended to sit on your hips and to say the following before the tashahhud statement:

In the Name of Allah (I begin) and in Allah (I trust).

ashhadu an la ilaha illa allahu
I bear witness that there is no god save Allah.

وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ

And You are my Lord.

خَشَعَ لَكَ سَمْعِي وَبَصَرِي

my brain, my nerve, my bones,

وَمَا اقَلَّتْهُ قَدَمَايَ
wa ma aqallat-hu qadamaya
and whatever is borne by my two feet.

ghayra mustankifin wa la mustakbirin wa la mustahsir
I am neither disdaining, nor arrogant, nor regretful.

Before Sujood longer dua-
You then stretch your palms and put them on the ground before you put your knees on the ground. You may prostrate on a prostration-clay made of the soil taken from Imam al-Husayn’s tomb. While prostrating yourself, you should utter the statement of prostration once although it is better to repeat it seven, five, or three times. Before that, you may say the following:
اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ سَجَدْتُ
allahumma laka sajadtu
O Allah, to You (alone) do I prostrate,

وَبِكَ آمَنْتُ

وَانْتَ رَبِّي

سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ
sajada wajhi lilladhi khalaqahu
My face is prostrating the One Who has created it

وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ

and split its hearing and sight.
