Sahifa Mohammed (sawa) Prayers of the Final Prophet

1. General Supplications

From Anas ibn Malik who said: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) intended to travel, he would say when departing:

اَللّٰهُمَ بِكَ انْتَشَرْتُ وَ اِلَيْكَ تَوَجَّهْت

Allaahumma beka intasharto wa elayka tawajjahto

O Allah! by Your Will (and Mercy) have I embarked on this journey, and to You have I turned,

وَ بِكَ اعْتَصَمْتُ اَنْتَ ثِقَتِيْ وَ رَجَائِ

wa beka e-a’tasamto anta seqatee wa rajaaee.

and with You do I seek refuge. You are my Confidant and my Hope.

اَللّٰهُمَّ اكْفِنِيْ مَا اَهَمَّنِي

allaahummak fenee maa ahammanee

O Allah! Suffice for me that which is important for me

وَ مَا لَا اَهْتَمَّ لَهٗ وَ مَا اَنْتَ اَعْلَمُ بِهٖ مِنِّي

wa maa laa ahtamma lahu wa maa anta a-a’lamo behi minnee.

and that which I do not give importance to but You know more of than me.

اَللّٰهُمَّ زَوِّدْنِي التَّقْوٰى وَ اغْفِرْ لِيْ

allaahumma zawwidnit taqwaa wagh fir lee

O Allah! Endow me with taqwa and forgive me,

وَ وَجِّهْنِيْ اِلَى الْخَيْرِ حَيْثُمَا تَوَجَّهْتُ

wa wajjehnee elal khayre haysomaa tawajjahto.

and turn me towards good wherever I turn.

2. It has been narrated that when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) would return home from a battle or from the Hajj, (on his way) he would recite the takbeer (ALLAAHO AKBAR) thrice on every elevation on the land and then say:

لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ

laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu laashareeka lahu

There is no god but Allah. He is one – without any partner.

لَہُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْر

lahul mulko wa lahul hamdo wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer

His is the kingdom and for Him is all praise and He has power over all things.

آئِبُوْنَ عَابِدُوْنَ سَاجِدُوْنَ

aaa-eboona a’abedoona saajedoona

(We come to Him) returning, worshipping, prostrating

رَبَّنَا حَامِدُوْنَ صَدَقَ اللہُ وَعْدَہٗ

rabbanaa haamedoona sadaqal laaho wa’dahu

and praising our Lord. Allah has made true His promise

وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَہٗ وَ ہَزَمَ الْاَحْزَابَ وَحْدَہٗ

wa nasara a’bdahu wa hazamal ahzaaba wahdahu

and helped His servant and vanquished the (enemy) factions.

When he dressed, he started dressing from his right side saying:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ كَسَانِيْ مَا اُوَارِيْ بِهٖ

alhamdo lillaahil lazee kasaanee maa owaaree behi

Praise be to Allah who clothed me with that which I conceal

عَوْرَتِیْ وَ اَتَجَمَّلُ بِهٖ فِیْ النَّاسِ.

a’wratee wa atajammalo behi

my nakedness with and by which I adorn myself amongst the people.

3. In al-Kaafi: In his narration from Ibn al-Qaddah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) went to bed he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ بِسْمِكَ اَحْیَا وَ بِسْمِكَ اَمُوْتُ

allaahumma bismeka ahyaa wa bismeka amooto

O Allah! By Your name do I live and by Your name do I die.

and when he (s.a.w.a.) awoke he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ اَحْيَانِيْ بَعْدَ مَا اَمَاتَنِيْ وَ اِلَيْهِ النُّشُوْرِ

alhamdo lillaahil lazee ahyaanee ba’da maa amaatanee wa elayhin noshoor.

bismil laah. aamanto billaae wa kafarto bit-taaghoote.

In the name of Allah, I believe in Allah and disbelieve in the false gods.

اِيْمَانًا وَ تَصْدِيْقًا بِبَعْثِكَ

eemaanan was tasdeeqan be-ba'seka

wajaht wajhi liladhi fatar alsamawat w alaard

When the (day of) eid came, Ma’mun sent for al-Reza (a.s.) asking him to ride to the eid prayer and give the sermon ... and when Ma’mun insisted, he (a.s.) said: O Ameer al-Moameneen , if you excuse me from this it will be more pleasing to me, and if you do not excuse me then I will come out for the eid prayer as the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) came out and as Ameer al-Moameneen Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) came out ... so at sunrise al-Reza (a.s.) performed ghusl and wore a white turban made of cotton, placing one end of it on his chest and another end between his shoulders and said to all his slaves: “Do as I have done.” Then he took a short staff in his hand and came out and we were with him. He (a.s.) was barefoot, having rolled-up his trousers up to half the shank. When he stood and we walked in front of him, he raised his head toward the heavens and recited the takbeer four times ... and when he came to the door he stopped briefly and said:

اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ

Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest

عَلٰىمَا هَدَانَا اَللهُ اَكْبَرُ عَلٰى مَا رَزَقَنَا

for that which He has guided us to. Allah is the Greatest for what He has granted us of sustenance

min bahimat alaaneam w alhamd lilh eala ma aablana.

from the livestock, and all praise is due to Allah for what He has destined for us.

He recited this loudly and we also recited it loudly... and he said this three times... and Abu al-Hasan (a.s.) would walk and stop briefly after every ten steps, reciting the takbeer four times.
21. In al-Faqeeh: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) supplicated for rain he (s.a.w.a.) would recite:

The one who prays on the last night of the month of Ramazan ten rak’ahs, reciting in every rak’ah ‘Faatehat al-Kitaab’ (Surah al-Hamd) once and ‘Qul Howal laaho Ahad’ (Surah al-Ikhlas) ten times and reciting in his ruku and his sujud ten times tasbeehaat al-Arba’ (Subhaanal laahe wal hamdo lillaahe wa laa elaaha Illal laaho wal laaho akbar) and recites the tashahhud and salam after every two rak’ahs. And when he completes the last of the ten rak’ahs, after the salam he recites: ‘Astaghferul laah’ one thousand times after which he goes into sajdah and says:

Thirty two:32. His Dua On The Night Of Fifteenth Of Sha’ban

69. From Sayyid ibn Taaoos in al-Iqbaal: Among the actions to be performed on the eve of the fifteenth of Sha’ban are... and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to supplicate on this night and say:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِك

allaahummaq sim lanaa min khasyateka

O Allah! Grant us as much fear of You

وَ بَيْنَ مَعْصِيَتِكَ ما يَحُوْلُ بَيْنَنَا

maa yahoolo baynanaa wa bayna ma’seyate ka

as would prevent us from your disobedience,and as much obedience

wa min ta-a’teka maa toballeghonaa behi rizwaanaka

wa menal yaqeene maa yahoono a’laynaa behi mosee-baatid dunyaa.

as would make bearable for us the tribulations of this world.

اَللّٰهُمَّ مَتِّعْنَا بِاَسْمَاعِنَاوَ اَبْصَارِنَا وَ قُوَّتِنَا

allaahumma matte’naa be-asmaa-e’naa wa absaarenaa wa quwwatenaa

O Allah! Grant us the use of our hearing, sight and strength

وَ اجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا مَا اَحْيَيْتَنَا

maa ahyaytanaa waj a’lahul waaresa minnaa

in the life You have given us, and let it remain with us until we die,

مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَ انْصُرْنَا وَ اجْعَلْ ثَارَنَا عَلٰى

waj a’l saaranaa a’laa man zalamanaa wan surnaa

and avenge those who have oppressed us, and help us against those

وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ عَلٰى مَنْ عَادَانَا

who have become our enemies, and do not keep

O Most Merciful of mercifuls.

70. In al-Iqbaal: In the narration from his grandfather Abi Ja’far al-Toosi, from one of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)’s wives who said: “On the night when the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) was with me, he (s.a.w.a.) gently withdrew from my bedcover (so as not to wake me) but I noticed it. I began feeling the jealousy that is felt by women and thought that he (s.a.w.a.) was in the room of another one of his wives but when I came upon him, he (s.a.w.a.) was like a garment that had fallen on the ground, prostrating, with the tip of his toes (placed on the ground), and saying:

اَصْبَحْتُ اِلَيْكَ فَقِيْرًا خَائِفًا مُسْتَجِيْرًا

asbahto elayka faqeeran khaa-efan mustajeeran

I come to You as a beggar, fearful, seeking refuge,

فَلَا تُبَدِّلْ اِسْمِيْ وَ لَا تُغَيِّرْ جِسْمِيْ

falaa tobaddil ismee wa laa toghayyir jismee

so do not change my status, and do not alter my body

وَ لَا تَجْتَهِدْ بَلَائِيْ وَ اغْفِرْلِيْ

wa laa tajtahid balaa-ee wagh fir lee.

and do not make severe my tribulations, and forgive me.

Then he (s.a.w.a.) raised his head and then prostrated again and I heard him say:

سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادِيْ وَ خَيَالِيْوَ آمَنَ بِذٰلِكَ فُؤَادِيْ

sajada laka sawaadi wa khayaalee wa aamana bezaaleka fo-aadee.

My body and mind have prostrated to you, and by this has my heart gained faith.

وَ هٰذِهٖ يَدَايَ بِمَا جَنَيْتُ

wa Haazehi yadaaya bemaa janayto

These are my hands with which i have oppressed

عَلٰى نَفْسِيْ يَا عَظِيْمُ

a’laa nafsee yaa a’zeemo

my soul, O Greatest

يُرْجٰى لِكُلِّ عَظِيْمٍ اِغْفِرْ لِيْ ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيْمَ فَاِنَّهٗ

Yurjaa lekulle a’zeemin ighfir lee zanbeyal a’zeema fa-innahu

upon whom is the greatest hope, forgive my greatest sin,

لَا يَغْفِرُ الذَّنْبَ الْعَظِيْمَ اِلَّا الْعَظِيْمُ

laa yaghferuz zambal a’zeema illal a’zeemo.

for none forgives the greatest sin but the greatest.

Then he (s.a.w.a.) raised his head and prostrated for the third time and I heard him say:

اَعُوْذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عِقَابِكَ

a-o’ozo be-a’fweka min e’qaabeka

I seek refuge in Your forgiveness

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ

wa a-o’ozo be-rezaaka min sakhateka

from Your chastisement,

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِمُعَافَاتِكَ مِنْ عُقُوْبَتِكَ

wa a-o’ozo be-mo-a’afaateka min o’qoobateka

and I seek refuge in Your grace from Your punishment,

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ اَنْتَ

wa a-o’ozo beka minka anta

and I seek refuge in You from You;

كَمَا اَثْنَيْتَ عَلٰى نَفْسِكَ

kamaa asnayta a’laa nafseka

You are as You have described Yourself

وَ فَوْقَ مَا يَقُوْلُ الْقَائِلُوْنَ

wa fawqa maa yaqoolul qaaeloon.

and above what the speakers speak.

Then he (s.a.w.a.) raised his head and prostrated once more for the fourth time and said:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِنُوْرِ

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo be-noore

O Allah! I seek refuge with the light

وَجْهِكَ الَّذِيْ اَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ

wajhekal lazee ash-raqat lahus samaawaato

of Your presence by which the heavens

وَ الْاَرْضُ وَ قَشَعَتْ بِهِ الظُّلُمَاتُ

wal arzo wa qasha-a’t behiz zolomaato

and the earth radiate, and by which the darkness dispels,

وَ صَلُحَ بِهٖ اَمْرُ الْاَوَّلِيْنَ

wa saloha behi amrul awwaleena

and through which the affairs of the first and last improve;

وَ الْآخِرِيْنَ اَنْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيّ

wal aakhereena an yahilla a’layya

and (I seek refuge) from Your anger covering me

غَضَبُكَ اَوْ يُنْزِلَ عَلَيَّ سَخَطُكَ

ghazaboka aw yunzela a’layya sakhatoka.

and Your wrath coming upon me.

اَعُوْذُ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَ فَجْأَةِ نِقْمَتِكَ

a-o’ozo min zawaale ne’mateka wa faj-ate niqmateka

I seek refuge from the reduction of Your bounties,

وَ تَحْوِيْلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَ جَمِيْعِ سَخَطِكَ

wa tahweele a’afeyateka wa jamee-e’ sakhateka.

and the suddenness of Your retribution, and the cessation of the well-being You have granted, and all Your displeasure.

لَكَ الْعُتْبٰى فِيْمَا اسْتَطَعْتُ

lakal u’tbaa feemas ta-ta’to

You admonish me for what I have the ability to perform

وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِكَ

wa laa hawla wa laa quwwata illaa beka.

and there is no power or might but by Your will.

She continued: “When I saw this from him, I left him and proceeded towards home as a feeling of restlessness came upon me. Then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) followed me and said: “Why are you uneasy?” I said: “I was with you O Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.).” He (s.a.w.a.) said:
“Do you know what night this is? This is the night of the middle of Sha’baan. In it are the actions determined, and the sustenance divided, and the life spans fixed; and Allah forgives all but the polytheist or the open enemy, or one who has severed ties with his close family, or the one who consumes intoxicants, or the one who insists on sinning, or the (frolicsome) poet or fortune-teller.”

Thirty three: 33. His Dua Upon Seeing The New-Moon

71. From Shaykh Toosi in al-Amaali: Narrated from Muhammad ibn Hanafiyyah from Imam Ali (a.s.), who said:
When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) looked at the new-moon, he (s.a.w.a.) would raise his hands and say:

بِسْمِ اللهِ اَللّٰهُمَّ اَهِلَّهٗ عَلَيْنَا ِ

bismil laahe allaahumma ahillahu a’laynaa

In the name of Allah. O Allah! Make it come upon us

بِالْاَمْن وَ الْاِيْمَانِ وَ السَّلَامَةِ

bil-amne wal eemaane was salaamate

with harmony and faith, peace and submission (to You)

وَ الْاِسْلَامِ رَبِّيْ وَ رَبُّكَ الله

wal islaame rabbee wa rabbokal laah.

My Lord and your Lord is Allah.

Thirty four:34. His Dua Upon Seeing The New-Moon Of The Month Of Ramazan

72. From Sayyid ibn Taaoos in the section on the actions to be performed in the month of Ramazan: From Muhammad ibn Hanafiyyah from Ameer al-Moameneen (a.s.) who said
When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) saw the new-moon of the month of Ramazan, he (s.a.w.a.) turned his face towards the Qiblah and said:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اَهِلَّهٗ عَلَيْنَا بِالْاَمْنِ

allaahumma ahillahu a’laynaa bil-amne

O Allah! Make it come upon us with harmony

وَ الْاِيْمَانِ وَ السَّلَامَةِ

wal eemaane was salaamate

وَ الْاِسْلَامِ وَ الْعَافِيَةِ الْمُجَلَّلَةِ

and protection from maladies, and help in prayer

وَ الصِّيَامِ وَ تِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ

was seyaame wa telaawatil quraane.

and fasting and reciting the Qur’an.

اَللّٰهُمَّ سَلِّمْنَا لِشَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ

allaahumma sallimnaa le-shahre ramazaaana

O Allah! Make us turn to the month of Ramazan

وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنَّا وَ سَلِّمْنَا فِيْهِ

wa tasallamho minnaa wa sallimnaa feehe

and make it receive us, and make us submissive in it,

حَتّٰى يَنْقَضِيَ عَنَّا شَهْرُ رَمَضَانَ

hattaa yanqazeya a’nnaa shahro ramazaana

until the month of Ramazan ends

وَ قَدْ عَفَوْتَ عَنَّا وَ غَفَرْتَ لَنَا وَ رَحِمْتَنَا

wa qad a’fawta a’nnnaa wa ghafarta lanaa wa rahimtanaa.

while You have pardoned and forgiven us and had mercy on us.

Thirty five 35. His Daily Zikr

73. In al-Kaafi: Narrated from Abi al-Hasan al-Anbari from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said:
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to praise Allah three hundred and sixty times a day, the (same as the) number of canals in the body, saying
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

alhamdo lillaahe rabbil a’alameena

Many praises be to Allah – Lord of the Universe –

كَثِيْرًا عَلٰی كُلِّ حَالٍ

kaseeran a’laa kulle haal.

in all conditions.
74. Also: Narrated from Ya’qub ibn Sho’aib who said: I heard Aba Abdillah (a.s.) saying: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: Verily there are three hundred and sixty canals in the human body, out of which a hundred and eighty are flowing and a hundred and eighty are stationary. If the flowing canal becomes stationary, it does not grow and it the stationary canal begins to flow, it does not grow. And the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ كَثِيْرًا عَلٰی كُلِّ حَالٍ

alhamdo lillaahe kaseeran a’laa kulle haal.

Many praises be to Allah in all conditions.
...three hundred and sixty times when he (s.a.w.a.) woke up in the morning and (again) when night fell. 75. From Shaykh Toosi in al-Majaalis and al-Akhbaar: Narrated from Sabrah ibn Ya’qub from his father, from al-Sadiq (a.s.), from his fathers (a.s.) in a hadees:
When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) woke up in the morning, as the sun rose, he (s.a.w.a.) would say:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ

alhamdo lillaahe rabbil a’alameena

Many good praises be to Allah – Lord of the Universe,

كَثِيْرًا طَيِّبًا عَلٰی كُلِّ حَالٍ

kaseeran tayyeban a’laa kulle haal.

in all conditions.
And he (s.a.w.a.) would express his gratitude (to Him) three hundred and sixty times.

Thirty six 36 His Zikr In The Morning And Evening

76. From al-Qutb al-Raawandi: It is narrated that when Ali ibn al-Husain (a.s.) was taken to Yazid (l.a.), he (l.a.) wanted to kill him so he (l.a.) made the Imam (a.s.) stand in front of him and spoke to him, trying to get a response that would give him an excuse to kill him. And the Imam (a.s.) would answer him, and while he (a.s.) spoke he (a.s.) had small prayer-beads in his hand which he (a.s.) was turning with his fingers as he (l.a.) was speaking. So Yazid (l.a.) said to him: “I am speaking to you and you are replying me while turning the prayer-beads in your hand with your fingers, so how is that permissible?” He (a.s.) said:
“My father narrated to me from my grandfather (s.a.w.a.) that when he (s.a.w.a.) had finished praying the Morning Prayer he (s.a.w.a.) would not talk until he (s.a.w.a.) had taken his prayer-beads in his hand and said:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَصْبَحْتُ اُسَبِّحُكَ

allaahumma innee asbahto osabbehoka

O Allah! I start my day by praising

وَ اُمَجِّدُكَ وَ اُحَمِّدُكَ

wa omajjedoka wa ohammedoka

and glorifying You

وَ اُهَلِّلُكَ بِعَدَدِ مَا اُدِيْرُ بِهٖ سُبْحَتِيْ

wa ohalleloka be-a’dade maa odeero behi subhatee.

as many times as I have turned my prayer-beads.
...and he (s.a.w.a.) would take the prayer-beads and start to turn them as he (s.a.w.a.) spoke whatever he (s.a.w.a.) wished to speak, other than reciting Zikr, and he (s.a.w.a.) said that turning the prayer-beads would be counted (as recitation of Zikr) and would act as a protection until he (s.a.w.a.) retired to his bed (at night) and when he (s.a.w.a.) retired to his bed, he (s.a.w.a.) would say something similar to what he (s.a.w.a.) had said (in the morning) and would place his prayer-beads under his pillow and it would thus be counted (as Zikr) from one time to another – so I did this to follow in the footsteps of my grandfather (s.a.w.a.).”
Yazid (l.a.) said – repeating time and again: “None from among you do I address but that he replies me with that by which his success is seen,” and he withdrew from his intention to kill him and ordered that he be unshackled.

Thirty seven 37. His Remedy For Headache

77. In Tibb al-Aimmah: From Ahmad ibn Ziyad from Fazalah from Isma’il ibn Ziyad from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said: Whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was afflicted with sluggishness or a headache, he (s.a.w.a.) would extend his hands and recite Surah al-Faatehah and the Mao’ozatayn and he (s.a.w.a.) would be relieved from that which afflicted him.

Thirty eight 38 Seeking Protection From Fever And Other Ailments

78. In Da’waat al-Raawandi: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) would seek protection from fever and pains by saying:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka

O Allah! I seek refuge with You

مِنْ شَرِّ عِرْقٍ نَعَّارٍ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حَرِّ النَّارِ

min sharre i’rqin na’-a’arin wa min sharre harrin naare.

from the harm of a gushing blood-vessel and from the evil of the fire of hell.

Thirty nine 39. His Invocation For Protection From Fever

79. From Tibb al-A’immah: Narrated from Amr Zi Qurrah and Sa’labah al-Jammaal who said: We heard Ameer al-Moameneen (a.s.) saying:
A severe fever came upon the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) so Jibraeel came to him and recited the following invocation
بِسْمِ اللهِ اَرْقِيْكَ بِسْمِ اللهِ اَشْفِيْكَ

bismil laahe arqeeka bismil laahe ashfeeka

In the name of Allah – I invoke (for) you. In the name of Allah – I cure you

مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ يُؤْذِيْكَ

min kulle daa-in yoazeeka

of every ailment that afflicts you

وَ اللهُ شَافِيْكَ بِسْمِ اللهِ خُذْهَا فَلْتُهَنِّيْكَ

wal laaho shaafeeka bismil laahe khuzhaa faltohanneeka

and Allah is your Healer. In the name of Allah – take it as it brings you well-being.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

bismil laahir rahmaanir raheem.

In the name of Allah the Compassionate the Merciful.

وَ لَا اُقْسِمُ بِمَواقِعِ النُّجُوْمِ

wa laa uqsemo be-mawaa-qe-i’n nojoome

I swear by the setting of the stars.

وَ اِنَّهٗ لَقَسَمٌ لَوْ تَعْلَمُوْنَ عَظِيْمٌ

wa innahu laqasamun law ta’lamoona a’zeemun

And that is indeed a mighty adjuration if you but knew.

لَتَبَرَّاَنَّ بِاِذْنِ اللہِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ

la-tabarra-anna be-iznil laahe a’zza wa jalla.

You will surely recover by the will of Allah the Almighty.
Then the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) stood up (cured) from that which had tied him down and he (s.a.w.a.) said: “O Jibrail! This is indeed a great invocation!” He replied: “It is from a treasure in the seven heavens.

Forty 40. His Invocation For Protection From Magic

80. In al-Behaar: From Ibn Abbas who said: Lubaid ibn Aa’sam cast a spell on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and then put it in the well belonging to Bani Zurayq. So the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) fell ill and while he (s.a.w.a.) was asleep two angels came to him, one sat next to his head while the other next to his legs and they informed him of this (magic) and said: “The spell is in the well of Zarwan, inside a spadix of a palm tree under a rock at the bottom of the well.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) woke up and sent Imam Ali (a.s.), Zubayr and Ammar (to remove the spell). They removed the water from the well and raised the rock and removed the spadix. In it were a few hairs of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) along with some broken teeth from his comb, which had been tied in eleven knots with a needle. Then these two Surahs (Surah al-Falaq and al-Nas) were revealed. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) started reciting the two Surahs and with the recitation of each ayah, one of the knots opened up, and after all the knots were undone, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) looked like someone who had just had a huge burden lifted from him, and Jibraeel started saying:
بِسْمِ اللهِ اَرْقِيْكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ يُؤْذِيْكَ

bismil laahe arqeeka min kulle shay-in yoazeeka

In the name of Allah I protect you from all things that harm you

مِنْ حَاسِدٍ وَ عَيْنٍ وَ اللهُ يَشْفِيْكَ

min haasedin wa a’ynin wal laaho yashfeeka.

from the jealous one and the evil eye – and may Allah cure you.

Forty one 41. Another One Of His Invocations

81. In al-Behaar from the Tafseer of the Imam: The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) placed his hand on the poisoned (meat of the) arm-bone and said:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الشَّافِیْ بِسْمِ اللهِ الْكَافِيْ

bismil laahish shaafee bismil laahil kaafee

In the name of Allah the Healer, in the name of Allah the Sufficient

بِسْمِ اللهِ الْمُعَافِيْ بِسْمِ اللهِ الَّذِيْ

bismil laahil mo-a’afee bismil laahil lazee

in the name of Allah the Nourisher, in the name of Allah with Whose name

لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهٖ شَيْءٌ فِي الْاَرْضِ

laa yazurro ma-a’s me-hi shay-un fil arze

nothing in the earth

وَ لَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيْمُ

wa laa fis samaa-e wa howas samee-u’l a’leemo.

or heaven can cause (us) harm and He is All-hearing All- seeing.
Then he (s.a.w.a.) said: “Eat in the name of Allah,” and the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) ate and they all ate until they were satisfied, and it (the poisoned meat) did not harm them in the least

Forty two 42. His Dua When Distressed Or Troubled

82. From Shaykh Toosi in al-Amaali: Narrated from Zayd, from his fathers, from Imam Ali (a.s.), who said:
Whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was distressed or troubled he (s.a.w.a.) would recite the following dua:

يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّوْمُ يَا حَيًّا لَا يَمُوْتُ

yaa hayyo yaa qayyoomo yaa hayyan laa yamooto

O Ever-living! O Ever-lasting! O Ever-living Who never dies!

يَا حَيُّ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ كَاشِفُ الْہَمِّ

yaa hayyo laa elaaha illaa anta kaasheful hamme

O Ever-living there is no god but You. Remover of the troubles!

مُجِيْبُ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّيْنَ

mojeebo da’watil muztarreen.

Answerer of the calls of the desperate!

اَسْاَلُكَ بِاَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا

as-aloka be-anna lakal hamda laa elaaha illaa

I ask You, as all praise is due to You – there is no god but

اَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيْعُ السَّمٰوَاتِوَ الْاَرْضِ

antal mannaano badee-u’s samaawaate wal arze

You – O Bestower of favors! Originator of the heavens and the earth!

ذُو الْجَلَالِوَ الْإِكْرَامِ رَحْمٰنَ الدُّنْيَا

zul jalaale wal ikraame rahmaanad dunyaa

Lord of Might and Glory! The Beneficent in this world

وَ الْآخِرَةِ وَ رَحِيْمَهُمَا رَبِّ

wal aakherate wa raheemahomaa rabbe

and the next and the Merciful in them both! O Lord! Bless me with the mercy

اِرْحَمْنِيْ رَحْمَةً تُغْنِيَنِيْ بِهَا عَنْ رَحْمَةِ

irhamnee rahmatan tughneyanee behaa a’n rahmate

that would make me free from needing mercy

مَنْ سِوَاكَ يَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ

man sewaaka yaa arhamar raahemeen.

from other than You, O Most Merciful of the mercifuls.

The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: “Whoever, from among the Muslims, recites this dua three times is guaranteed to get what he asks for except if it (what he asks for) is a sin or if he has broken off ties with his close relatives.”

Forty43. His Dua For Memorizing The Noble Qur’an

83. In Qurb al-Asnaad: From Mas’adah ibn Sadaqah: I was told by Imam Ja’far Sadiq (a.s.) from his fathers (a.s.) that the following was one of the supplications of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.):

اَللّٰهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِيْ بِتَرْكِ مَعَاصِيْكَ مَا اَبْقَيْتَنِيْ

allaahummar hamnee betarke ma-a’aseeka maa abqaytanee

O Allah! Bless me with the ability to keep away from Your disobedience for the rest of my life;

and enable me to recite it in the way that pleases You.

O Allah! Illuminate my sight by Your book, and expand by it my chest,

وَ فَرِّحْ بِهٖ قَلْبِيْ وَ اَطْلِقْ بِهٖ لِسَانِيْ

wa farreh behi qalbee wa atliq behi lesaanee

and gratify by it my heart, and make eloquent my speech by it,

وَ اسْتَعْمِلْ بِهٖ بَدَنِيْ وَ قَوِّنِيْ عَلٰى ذٰلِكَ فَاِنَّهٗ

was ta’mil behi badani wa qawwenee a’laa zaaleka fa-innahu

there is no might and no power but (by) You.

Forty four44. His Covering

84. In al-Mohajj: The ‘Hijab’ (covering) of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was:

وَ جَعَلْنَا عَلٰى قُلُوْبِهِمْ اَكِنَّةً اَنْ يَفْقَهُوْهُ

Wa ja-a’lnaa a’laa qoloobehim akinnatan an yafqahooho

yaa shadeedal batshe baynee wa BAYNA

Guard me from the one who has taken aim at me with his arrows

against their enemy and they became the ones who prevailed.’

Forty five.45. His Dua In The Morning

85. In al-Kaafi: In his narration from al-Fazl ibn Abi Qurrah from Abi Abdillah (a.s.) who said:
Three sentences were recited by all the prophets, one after the other, from Adam (a.s.) until they came down to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.). Every morning he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْ اَسْئَلُكَ اِيْمَانًا تُبَاشِرُ بِهٖ قَلْبِىْ

allaahumma innee as-aloka eemaanan tobaashero behi qalbee

O Allah! I ask You for faith which gives joy to my heart,

وَيَقيْنًاًحَتّٰى اَعْلَمُ اَنَّهٗ لَا يُصِيْبُنِىْ

wa yaqeenan hattaa a-a’lamo annahu laa yoseebonee

and certitude so that I may know that nothing befalls me

اِلَّا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِىْ وَرَضِّنِىْ بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِىْ

illaa maa katabta lee wa razzenee bemaa qasamta lee.

except that which You have destined for me, and make me pleased with that which you have apportioned for me.

86. In al-Khesaal: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) taught Imam Ali (a.s.) the dua which Jibrail brought from Allah (s.w.t.) and instructed the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to recite in times of hardships and troubles:

يَا عِمَادَ مَنْ لَا عِمَادَ لَهٗ

O Supporter of the one with no supporter!

وَ يَا حِرْزَ مَنْ لَا حِرْزَ لَهٗ

O Hearer of the unheard appeal!

وَ يَا كَرِيْمَ الْعَفْوِ وَ يَا حَسَنَ الْبَلَاءِ

wa yaa kareemal a’fwe wa yaa hasanal balaa-e

O Munificent in forgiving! O One Whose trials are good!

وَ يَا عَظِيْمَ الرَّجَاءِ وَ يَا عَوْنَالضُّعَفَاءِ

wa yaa a’zeemar rajaa-e wa yaa a’wnaz zo-a’faa-e

O Giver of great hope! O Helper of the weak!

وَ يَا مُنْقِذَ الْغَرْقٰى

O Creator of beauty! O Granter of blessings! O Bestower of good!

الَّذِيْ سَجَدَ لَكَ سَوَادُ اللَّيْلِ

You are the One to whom prostrate the darkness of night,

وَ نُوْرُ النَّهَارِ وَ ضَوْءُ الْقَمَرِ

wa noorun nahaare wa zaw-ul qamare

the light of day, the illumination of the moon,

وَ شُعَاعُ الشَّمْسِ وَ دَوِيُّ الْمَاء

wa sho-a’a-u’sh shamse wa dawiyyul maa-e

the rays of the sun, the sound of (running) water

وَ حَفِيْفُ الشَّجَرِ يَا اَللهُ يَا اَللهُ

wa hafeefush shajare yaa allaaho yaa allaaho

and the rattling of trees. O Allah! O Allah!

يَا اَللهُ اَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ

yaa allaaho ant wahdaka la sharik laka

O Allah! You are One and have no partner.

Then you say: “O Allah! Grant me such and such,” and you will not stand up from where you are sitting but that your supplication will be answered if Allah wills.

103. Also in Mohajj al-Da’wat: From Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Saffaar: In his narration from Imam al-Sadiq (a.s.) who said:
The Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) used to supplicate in his dua:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اجْعَلْنِیْ صَبُوْرًا وَ اجْعَلْنِیْ شَكُوْرًا

O Allah! Make me patient, and make me thankful,

وَ اجْعَلْنِیْ فِیْ اَمَانِكَ

and keep me in Your protection.

104. In al-Irshaad of al-Daylami: He (s.a.w.a.) would supplicate and say:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ

O Allah apportion for us from Your fear

وَ مِنَ الْيَقِيْنِ مَا يُهَوِّنُ عَلَيْنَا

wa menal yaqeene maa yohawweno a’laynaa

and from certitude that which would ease

مِنْ مَصَائِبِ الدُّنْيَا وَ مَتِّعْنَا بِاَسْمَاعِنَا

and do not make this world our greatest concern,

وَ لَا تُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنمَنْ لَا يَرْحَمُنَا.َا

and do not give mastery over us to those who have no mercy on us.

wa laa narghabo illaa elayka anta maw-ze-o’ shakwaanaa

and we do not desire anything but closeness to You. You are the One to whom we complain,

وَ مُنْتَهٰى رَغْبَتِنَا وَ اِلٰهُنَا وَ مَلِيْكُنَا.

wa muntahaa raghbatenaa wa elaahonaa wa maleekonaa.

and You are the goal of our desires, and our Lord and our Master.”

109. In al-Ja’fariyyaat: In his narration from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) from his fathers (a.s.) from Imam Ali (a.s.) who said:
When the tablecloth was laid in front of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اجْعَلْہَا نِعْمَۃ

allaahummaj a’lhaa ne’matan

O Allah! Make it a blessingً

مَحْصُوْرَۃً مَشْكُوْرَۃً مَوْصُوْلَۃً بِالْجَنَّۃِ.

mahsooratan mashkooratan mawsoolatan bil-jannate.

that is limited, appreciated and linked to paradise.

110. In Awaarif al-Ma’arif: From al-Irbaas ibn Saareyah who said: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to supplicate:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اجْعَلْ حُبَّكَ اَحَبُّ اِلَیَّ

allaahummaj a’l hubbaka ahabbo elayya

O Allah! Make Your love more beloved to me

مِنْ نَفْسِیْ وَ سَمْعِیْ وَ بَصَرِیْ وَ اَہْلِیْ

than my self, my hearing, my sight, my family

وَ مَالِیْ وَ مِنَ الْمَاءِ الْبَارِدِ

wa maalee wa menal maa-il baared

my wealth and cool water

111. In al-Faqeeh: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to say in his dua:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ رَبًّا

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka min waladin yakoono a’layya rabban

O Allah! I seek Your protection from a son who subjugates me,,

وَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ ضِيَاعًا

wa min maalin yakoono a’layya zeyaa-a’n

and from wealth that is the cause of my ruin

وَ مِنْ زَوْجَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِيْ قَبْلَ اَوَانِ مَشِيْبَتِيْ

wa min zawjatin toshayyebonee qabla awaanE masheebatee

and from the wife who makes me old before my time,

وَ مِنْ خَلِيْلٍ مَاكِرٍ عَيْنَاهُ تَرَانِيْ

wa min khaleelin maakerin a’ynaaho taraanee

and from the conspiring friend whose eyes see me

وَ قَلْبُهٗ يَرْعَانِيْ اِنْ رَاٰى خَيْرًا دَفَنَهٗ

wa qalbohu yar-a’anee in ra-aa khayran dafanahu

but his heart envies me if he sees any good (action from me) he conceals it

وَ اِنْ رَاٰى شَرًّا اَذَاعَهٗ

wa in ra-aa sharran a-zaa-a’hu

and if he sees any bad he spreads it;

وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَجْعِ الْبَطْنِ

wa a-o’ozo beka min waj-i’l batne.

and I seek Your protection from the pain of the stomach.

112. In al-Mohajj: From the supplications of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.):

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَنْ اَفْتَقِر

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka an aftaqeraَ

O Allah! I seek Your protection from becoming poor

فِيْ غِنَاكَ اَوْ اَضِلَّ فِيْ هُدَاكَ اَوْ اَذِلَّ

fee ghenaaka aw azilla fee hodaaka aw azilla

in Your Wealth, or going astray in Your Guidance, or becoming abased

اَوْ اَكُوْنَ بِكَ مَغْرُوْ

or being arrogant in front of You.

Fifty 58. His Veil

113. In al-Behaar from al-Kharaajj: It is narrated that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to pray in front of the Hajar al-Aswad, facing the Ka’bah and facing Bayt al-Maqdis; and he (s.a.w.a.) would not be seen until he (s.a.w.a.) had completed his prayer, and would be veiled by the verse:

وَاِذَا قَرَاْتَ الْقُرْاٰنَ جَعَلْنَا بَيْنَكَ

wa ezaa qaraatal qur-aana ja-a’lnaa baynaka

And when you recite the Qur’an we place between you

وَبَيْنَ الَّذِيْنَ لَا يُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِالْاٰخِرَۃِ حِجَابًا مَّسْتُوْرًاۙ

wa baynal lazeena laa yoamenoona bil-aakherate hejaabam mastooraa.

and those who do not believe a hidden barrier

and the verse:

اُولٰۗىِٕكَ الَّذِيْنَ طَبَعَ اللہُ عَلٰي قُلُوْبِہِم

oolaa-ekal lazeena ta-ba-a’l laaho a’laa qoloobehim.ْ

These are they on whose hearts Allah has set a seal

and the verse:

وَجَعَلْنَا عَلٰي قُلُوْبِہِمْ

wa ja-a’lnaa a’laa qoloobehim

And We have put coverings on their hearts

اَكِنَّۃً اَنْ يَّفْقَہُوْہُ وَفِيْٓ اٰذَانِہِمْ وَقْرًا

akinnatan any yafqahooho wa fee aazaanehim waqraa.

and deafness in their ears lest they understand

and :

اَفَرَءَيْتَ مَنِ اتَّخَذَ اِلٰــہَہٗ ہَوٰىہُ وَاَضَلَّہُ اللہُ

afara-a’yta manit takhaza elaahahu hawaaho wa azallahul laaho

Have you then considered him who takes his lowly desire for his god

عَلٰي عِلْمٍ وَّخَتَمَ عَلٰي سَمْعِہٖ وَقَلْبِہٖ

a’laa i’lminw wa khatama a’laa sam-e’hi wa qalbehi

Allah has left him astray having knowledge and has set a seal on his hearing and his heart

وَجَعَلَ عَلٰي بَصَرِہٖ غِشٰوَۃًۭ

wa ja-a’la a’laa basarehi gheshaawah,

and has put a cover on his sight

فَمَنْ يَّہْدِيْہِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اللہِۭ اَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُوْنَ

famany yahdeehe mim ba’dil laah, afalaa tazakkaroon.

So who will guide you besides Allah? Will you not remember?

114. Also: In his narration from Abbas ibn Mujaahid from his father who said: Ali ibn al-Husain (a.s.) used to recite the following at noon every day in the month of Sha’ban and on the eve of the fifteenth of the month; and he would send salutations on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) thus:

اَللّٰھُمَّ صَلِّ عَلی مُحَمَّدٍ

allaahumma salle a’laa mohammadin

O Allah! Bless Muhammad

وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ شَجَرَةِ النُّبُوَّةِ

wa aale mohammadin shajaratin nobuwwate

and the progeny of Muhammad, the evergreen tree of prophethood,

وَمَوضِعِ الرِّسالَةِ وَ ھٰذَا شَھْرُ نَبِیِّکَ سَیِّدِ

wa maw-ze-i’r resaalate wa haazaa shahro nabiyyeka sayyede

the destination of the Divine Message... and this is the month of Your prophet, master of

رُسُلِکَ شَعْبَانُ الَّذِیْ حَفَفْتَہٗ مِنْکَ بِالرَّحْمَةِ

rosoleka sha’baanul lazee hafaftahu minka bir-rahmate

Your messengers– Sha’ban, (the month) that You have surrounded with mercy

وَ الرِّضْوَانِ الَّذِیْ کَانَ رَسُوْلُ اللهِ صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَیْہِ

war-rizwaanil lazee kaana rasoolul laahe sallal laaho a’layhe

and pleasure; in which your messenger salutations be upon him

وَ آلِہٖ وَ سَلَّمَ یَدْاَبُ فِیْ صِیَامِہٖ

wa aalehi wa sallama yad-abo fee seyaamehi

and his progeny would be untiring in his fasting

وَ قِیَامِہٖ فِیْ لَیَالِیْہِ

wa qeyaamehi fee layaaleehe

and prayers, in its nights

وَ اَیَّامِہٖ بُـخُوْعًا لَکَ فِیْ اِکْرَامِہٖ

wa ayyaamehi bokhoo-a’n laka fee ikraamehi

and days, subjugating himself in front of You in his glorification

وَ اِعْظَامِہٖ اِلٰی مَحَلِّ حِمَامِہٖ اَللّٰھُمَّ فَاَعِنَّا

wa e-a’zaamehi elaa mahalle hemaamehi allaahumma fa-a-i’nna

and extolment until he passed away. O Allah! Help us to

عَلَیالْاِسْتِنَانِ بِسُنَّتِہٖ فِیْہِ

a’lal istenaane besunnatehi feehe

act upon his sunnah in

وَ نَیْلِ الشَّفَاعَةِ لَدَیْہِ

wa naylish shafaa-a’te ladayhe

and to receive his intercession.

115. In the Kashkol of Shaykh Bahai: In the writing of my father, may he be blessed: Ataa was questioned about the meaning of the saying of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.): “The best dua is my dua and the dua of the prophets before me” and it is:

لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ وَ حْدَہٗ وَحْدَہ

laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu wahdahu wahdahu

There is no god but Allah, alone, alone, alone,

لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ لَہُ الْمُلْكُ

laa shareeka lahu lahul mulko

having no partners, His is the kingdom

وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ

wa lahul hamdo yohyee wa yomeeto

and for Him is all praise, He gives life and death;

وَ ہُوَ حَیٌّ لَا یَمُوْتُ بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْر

wa howa hayyun laa yamooto be-yadehil khayroُ

He is living and will not die, by His hand is all good

وَ ہُوَعَلٰی كُلِّ شَیْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ.

wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.

and He has power over all things.

Then he said: This is not a dua (as such), rather it is glorification and praise

Fifty 59. His Dua When Burning Insence

116. In al-Behaar, from Amaan al-Akhtar: It is narrated that when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) would burn incense he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ بِنِعْمَتِهٖتَتِمُّ الصَّالِحَاتُ.

al-hamdo lillaahil lazee be-ne’matehitatimmus saalehaat.

All praise is due to Allah, the One by Whose blessing all virtues are complete.

طَيِّبْ عُرْفَنَا وَ ذَكِّ رَوَائِـحَنَا

allahumma tayyib u’rfanaa wa zakke rawaa-ehanaa

O Allah! Make our scent pleasant, and increase our fragrance,

وَ اَحْسِنْ مُنْقَلَبَنَا وَ اجْعَلِ التَّقْوٰى زَادَنَا

wa ahsin munqalabanaa waj a’lit taqwaa zaadanaa

and make good the place of our return, and make piety our provision,

وَ الْجَنَّةَ مَعَادَنَا وَ لَا تُفَرِّقْ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ عَافِيَتِنَا اِيَّانَا

wal jannata ma-a’danaa wa laa tofarriq baynanaa wa bayna a’afeyatenaa iyyaanaa

and paradise our final destination, and do not separate from us our well-being and

وَ كَرَامَتِكَ لَنَا اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ

wa karaamateka lanaa innaka a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.

Your bounties, surely You have power over all things.

Sixty 60. His Daily Zikr

117. When he (s.a.w.a.) had completed his talk and wanted to stand up from where he (s.a.w.a.) was sitting, he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا مَا اَخْطَاْنَا

allaahummagh fir lanaa maa akhtaanaa

O Allah! Forgive us for what we did by mistake

وَ مَا تَعَمَّدْنَا وَ مَا اَسْرَرْنَا

wa maa ta-a’mmadnaa wa maa asrarnaa

and what we did on purpose, and what we concealed

وَ مَا اَنْتَ اَعْلَمُ بِہٖ مِنَّا اَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّمُ

wa maa anta a-a’lamo behi minnaa antal moqaddemo

and what You know more of than us, You are the Foremost

وَ اَنْتَ الْمُؤَخِّرُ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اَنْت

wa antal mo-akhkhero laa elaaha illaa anta.َ

and You are the Last, there is no god but You.

118. In al-Durr al-Mansoor: From Umm Salamah that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) would frequently say in his Dua:

اَللّٰہُمَّ مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوْبِ

allaahumma moqallebal qoloobe

O Allah – the Transformer of hearts!

ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِیْ عَلٰی دِیْنِكَ

sabbit qalbee a’laa deenaka.

Make my heart steadfast on Your religion.

I said: “O Prophet of Allah! And are hearts transformed?” He (s.a.w.a.) said:
“Yes. Allah did not create any human being but that his heart was between two fingers from the fingers of Allah, so if He willed He would make it upright and if He willed He would make it deviate.”

سُبْحَانَهٗ مِنْہُ یُسَبِّحُ الرَّعْدَ بِحَمْدِہٖ

subhaanahu minho yosabbehur ra’da be-hamdehi.

Praise be to Him – the thunder declares His glory

120. Saalim ibn Abdullah narrates from his father who said: Whenever the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) heard thunder and thunderbolts he (s.a.w.a.) said:

اَللّٰہُمَّ لَا تَقْتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ

allaahumma laa taqtulnaa be-ghazabeka

O Allah! Do not kill us with Your wrath

وَ لَا تُہْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ

wa laa tohliknaa be-a’zaabeka

and do not destroy us with Your punishment,

وَ عَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذٰلِكَ

wa a’afenaa qabla zaaleka.

and grant us amnesty before that.

121. In the Amaali of Shaykh Toosi: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) saw a dark cloud, he (s.a.w.a.) would leave everything and say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِیْہ

allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka min sharre maa feehe.

O Allah! I seek Your protection from any evil that is in it.

And if it passed he (s.a.w.a.) would praise Allah, and if it rained he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ نَاشِئًا نَافِعًا

allaahumma naashe-an naafe-a’n.

O Allah! Make it a beneficial cloud.

122. In al-Behaar: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) saw that the wind had become strong he (s.a.w.a.) would say:

اَللّٰہُمَّ اجْعَلْہَا رِیَاحًا

allaahummaj a’lha reyaahan

O Allah! Make it (from the other) winds

وَ لَا تَجْعَلْہَا رِیْحًا

wa laa taj-a’lhaa reehan

and do not make it the destructive wind.

123. In Mohaaj al-Da’waat: From Jaabir, from Abi Ja’far (a.s.) who said:
Jibraeel said: “O Prophet of Allah! Know that I have not loved any prophet as much as I love you, so say frequently:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّكَ تَرٰى وَ لَا تُرٰى

allaahumma innaka taraa wa laa toraa

O Allah! You see but cannot be seen

وَ اَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الْاَعْلٰى

wa anta bil-manzaril a-a’laa

and You are at the highest viewpoint,

وَ اَنَّ اِلَيْكَ الْمُنْتَهٰى وَ الرُّجْعٰى

wa annae laykal muntaha wa rukh-a

and to You is the final destination and return,

وَ اَنَّ لَكَ الْآخِرَةَ وَ الْاُوْلٰى

wa anna lakal aakherata wal oolaa

and Yours are the end and the beginning

وَ اَنَّ لَكَ الْمَمَاتَ وَ الْمَحْيَا رَبِّ

wa anna lakal mamaata wal mahyaa rabbe

and Yours are the place of death and life. O Lord!ْ

اَعُوْذُ بِكَ اَناَذِلّ وَ اَخْزٰى

a-o’ozo beka an azilla wa akhzaa.

I seek Your protection from being disrespected and disgraced.
