Tawassul to Ahlulbayt (peace be upon them)
Another thing which a prudent wayfarer should not forget during the first night of this holy month is resorting(tawassul) to the impeccable ones (Ma'sumin)[33] in that night.
It is up to him to stretch his hand sincerely towards the threshold of those exalted saintly personalities, should present their blessed, glorious, and beautiful faces as intercessors for our unblessed and polluted (with sins), faces, thus, looking towards the Lord through their splendour and magnanimity because, it is not appropriate and desirable to look towards Him directly with a face blackened with sins, and cheeks rusted with transgressions. Instead, he should plead with them, should open his tongue full of grief and anxiety, should request them to act as intercessors for pleading his case.
It might be that their hearts would become soft with love for him, with their greatness they might accept him by acting as his intercessors as well as might request Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), that may He accept him and bestow upon him the grace and favour so that he would become the way his Lord desires him to be. Because, Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), being the most Compassionate and most Merciful, undoubtedly would accept the plea and intercession of those compassionate and exalted personalities, especially, those Sinless noble ones, to whom He himself has taught generosity and compassion as well as has allowed them to act as intercessors.
Yes! By resorting sincerely, truly and honestly to these noble exalted personalities one may attain such gains, prosperity, and salvation which can't even be attained through engaging in worship for one complete year. Therefore, it is up to us to make our best endeavours, by treating the time as our best available opportunity; we should extend our hands towards their threshold; by offering salutations and thanks should open our tongues for needs, and saying the following sincerely and honestly:

أَنْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ حَامِي الأُمَّةِ وَخَفِيرُهُمْ ،.

anta yā sayyidī fī hadhihi l-laylati ḥāmi l-ummati wa khafīruhum ,.

O' my masters! Tonight you are the support and shelter of everyone,

وَأَكْرَمُ الْخَلَائِقِ ، تُحِبُّ الضِّيَافَةَ وَمَأْمُورٌ مِنَ اللَّهِ جَلَّ جَلَالُهُ بِالْإِجَارَةِ ، عَبْدُكَ ضَيْفُ اللَّهِ وَضَيْفُكَ ، وَجَارُ اللَّهِ وَجَارُكَ فَأَجِرْ عَبْدَكَ وَأَضِفْهُ ،.

wa akramu l-khalā'iqi , tuḥibbu ḍ-ḍwiyāfata wa māmūrun mina l-lahi jalla jalāluhu bi l-ijārati , ʿabduka ḍayfu l-lahi wa ḍayfuka , wa jāru l-lahi wa jāruka fa ajir ʿabdaka wa aḍifhu ,.

you are the most exalted and generous among all exalted and generous ones, you like inviting guests and want to be generous towards them;Also Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has commanded you to provide refuge and shelter forthe wretched and unsheltered people;now here is one of the Allah's unsheltered servants who has came to attend your as well as Allah's feast; has attached his heart upon your support and well as Allah's support and hospitality;be hospitable and allow him to sit upon the table of your generosity and treat him in the following manner:

وَاجْعَلْ قِرَايَ مِنْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ أَنْ تُدْخِلَنِي فِي هَمِّكَ وَحِزْبِكَ ، وَدُعَائِكَ وَحِمَايَتِكَ ، وَشَفَاعَتِكَ وَوِلَايَتِكَ وَشِيعَتِكَ ..

wajʿal qirāya minka l-laylata an tudkhilanī fī hammika wa ḥizbikā , wa duʿā'ika wa ḥimāyatika , wa shafāʿatika wa wilāyatika wa shīʿatika ..

Consider him as your friend and supporter and do not deprive me from your best support and endeavours; do not deprive him from your prayer, backing, and intercession

وَارْغَبْ إِلَى اللَّهِ لِي فِي كَرَمِ عَفْوِهِ ، وَقَبُولِهِ ، وَرِضَاهُ ،.

warghab ila l-lahi lī fī karami ʿafwihi , wa qabūlihi , wa riḍāhu ,.

;ask Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), not to deprive me from His Forgiveness and Benevolence; His mercy and compassion;

وَأَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَيَّ نَظْرَةً رَحِيمَةً بِهَا عَنِّي رِضًا لَا سَخَطَ عَلَيَّ بَعْدَهُ أَبَدًا ، وَيُلْحِقُنِي بِشِيعَتِكُمُ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ ، وَأَوْلِيَائِكُمُ السَّابِقِينَ ، فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَرُدُّ شَفَاعَتَكَ ، فَإِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ شَأْنًا مِنَ الشَّأْنِ ، وَقَدْرًا مِنَ الْقَدْرِ ، فَبِحَقِّ هَذَا الشَّأْنِ الَّذِي جَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَكَ.

wa an yanẓura ilayya naẓratan raḥīmatan biha ʿannī riḍan lā sakhaṭa ʿalayya baʿdahu abadan , wa yulḥiqunī bi shīʿatikumu l-muqarrabīna , wa awliyā'ikumu s-sābiqīna , fa innahu lā yaruddu shafāʿataka , fa inna laka ʿinda l-lahi shānan mina sh-shāni , wa qadran mina l-qadri , fabiḥaqwi hadha sh-shāni l-ladhī jaʿala l-lahu laka.

then look at him with love and pleasure;becoming so happy and pleased with him that after that He should never become unhappy and angry with him, should regard him as His sincere friend and worthy servant....
O' my masters! Please beseech Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), to bestow upon me these things; He will accept your prayer and intercession, because your splendour and majesty, and your worth and prestige before Him is far greater than what could be perceived by the human mind and understanding

يَا مَوْلَايَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَسْمَحَ فِي حَقِّي بِمَا سَأَلْتُكَ ،

yā mawlāya asaluka an tasmaḥa fī ḥaqī bi mā sāltuka ,

I ask you by your splendour and majesty,which Allah (the Glorious, the Exalted), has bestowed upon you,

وَتَزِيدَنِي بِمِقْدَارِ كَرَامَتِكَ ،

wa tazīdanī bi miqdāri karāmatika ,

reward me more than whatever I have asked in accordance with your generosity;

وَلَا تَنْظُرْ يَا سَيِّدِي إِلَى حَقَارَتِي وَذُلَّ مَقَامِي وَسُوءَ حَالِي ،

wa lā tanẓur yā sayyidī ila ḥaqāratī wa dhulla maqāmī wa sū'a ḥālī ,

don't look upon my worthlessness, disobedience, and deviations,

فَإِنَّ الْكِرَامَ لَا يَعْظُمُ عَلَيْهِمْ فِي قِرَى ضَيْفِهِمْ شَيْءٌ مِنَ الْعَطَايَا ،

fa inna l-kirāma lā yaʿẓumu ʿalayhim fī qira ḍayfihim shay'un mina l-ʿaṭāyā

because the generosity of the generous ones and the hospitality shown by the exalted ones are in accordance with their generosity and exaltedness

وَلَا يُقَدِّرُونَ كَرَامَتَهُمْ وَعَطَايَاهُمْ بِقَدْرِ الضُّيُوفِ السَّائِلِينَ ،

wa lā yuqaddirūna karāmatahum wa ʿaṭāyāhum bi qadri ḍ-ḍuyūfi s-sā'ilīna ,

and not in proportion with the worth and merit of their requester.

فَإِنَّ الْعَطَاءَ بِقَدْرِ الْمُعْطِي ، وَالْقِرَى بِقَدْرِ الْمُضِيفِ..

fa inna l-ʿaṭā'a bi qadri l-muʿṭī , wa l-qira bi qadri l-muḍīfi..

You reward in proportion with the giver and not on the worth and merit of their recipients

سَادَتِي أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ عَلَّمْتُمُ الْكِرَامَ آدَابَ الْكَرَامَةِ ، وَالْأَجْوَادُ شِيمُ الْجُودِ وَالسَّمَاحَةِ ، إِنْ ذُكِرَ الْجُودُ كُنْتُمْ أَوَّلَهُ وَآخِرَهُ ، وَأَصْلَهُ وَفَرْعَهُ وَمُنْتَهَاهُ ، وَإِنْ قِيلَ الْكَرَمُ فَأَنْتُمْ مَعْدِنُهُ وَمَأْوَاهُ لَا يَرُدُّ سَائِلَكُمْ وَلَا يَخِيبُ آمِلَكُمْ ..

sādatī antumu l-ladhīna ʿallamtumu l-kirāma adāba l-karāmati , wa l-ajjadu shīmu l-jūdi wa s-samāḥati , in dhukira l-jūdu kuntum awwalahu wa akhirahu , wa aṣlahu wa farʿahu wa muntahāhu , wa in qīla l-karamu fa antum maʿdinuhu wa māwahu lā yaruddu sā'ilakum wa lā yakhību amilakum ..

O' my masters! You are the ones who have taught greatness to the exalted ones, generosity to the generous ones, and benevolence to the benevolent ones;
if there is a discussion about the benevolence you are the first and the last as well as the roots and the branches; if there is a discussion about the magnanimity and greatness you are their fountainhead; you are the ones who never returned any one hopeless and empty-handed, .

سَادَتِي أَنْتُمُ الَّذِينَ قُلْتُمْ : مَثَلُ الْمَعْرُوفِ مَثَلُ الْمَطَرِ ، يُصِيبُ الْبَرَّ وَالْفَاجِرَ ، فَلَا تَمْنَعُونِي سَحَائِبَ رَأفَتِكُمْ ، فَلْيُصِبْنِي أَمْطَارُ جُودِكُمْ ، فَإِنِّي مِنْ جُودِكُمْ جَائِعٌ ، وَمِنْ كَرَمِكُمْ ظَمْآنٌ ، لَا تَرْضُوا لِضَيْفِكُمْ أَنْ يَبِيتَ فِي حِمَاكُمْ جَائِعًا ضَمْآنًا..

sādatī antumu l-ladhīna qultum : mathalu l-maʿrūfi mathalu l-maṭari , yuṣību l-barra wa l-fājira , fa lā tamnaʿūnī saḥā'iba ra'afatikum , falyuṣibnī amṭāru jūdikum , fa'innī min jūdikum jā'iʿun , wa min karamikum ẓamānun , lā tarḍū li ḍayfikum an yabīta fī ḥimākum jā'iʿan ḍamānan..

as you yourself have proclaimed:"Your generosity and reward like rain water pour upon the righteous ones as well as upon the bad ones, likewise;" saturate me with the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the rain of your generosity, do not deprive me from the pouring of your love because I am thirsty for your generosity and hungry for your love and affection;you don't like that your guests who have taken shelter in your threshold and have tied their hopes upon your benevolence should remain thirsty and hungry.

فَأَنْتَ يَا مَوْلَايَ مَتَى مَا مَنَعْتَنِي قِرَاكَ ، بِتُّ طَاوِيًا فِي حِمَاكَ ، وَوَصَلْتُ إِلَى الْهَلَاكِ ، حَاشَاكَ مِنْ هَذِهِ الْمُعَامَلَةِ مَعَ ضَيْفِكَ ثُمَّ حَاشَاكَ ..

fa anta yā mawlāya mata mā manaʿtanī qirāka , bi tu ṭāwiyan fī ḥimāka , wa wa ṣaltu ila l-halāki , ḥāshāka min hadhihi l-muʿāmalati maʿa ḍayfika thumma ḥāshāka ..

O' my masters! If you will deprive me from your hospitality I will die with hunger under your shelter sitting upon the side of your tablecloth.
No! No! You wouldn't treat me in this manner; you are not the ones who would deprive the guests from your hospitality so that he would return heart-broken, hopeless and hungry. Never! Never!
