Imam Hussain(as) Arafa Dua

The prayer of Imam al-°usayn (`a), the Chief of Martyrs, on the `Araf¡t Day is one of the famous prayers. Bishr and Bash¢r, the sons of Gh¡lib al-Asad¢, narrated that they, once, accompanied Imam al-°usayn (`a) at the `Araf¡t Night when he left his tent with submission and reverence. He walked slowly until he, accompanied by a group of his household, sons, and servants, stopped at the left side of Mount `Araf¡t and turned his face towards the Holy Ka`bah. He then raised his hands (for supplication) to the level of his face, just like a poor man begging food, and said:

Imam al-°usayn (`a) then raised his head and sight to the sky with teary eyes and said with an audible voice:

Imam al-°usayn (`a) then repeated y¡-rabbi so frequently and effectively that he attracted the attentions of all the others who, instead of praying for granting their needs, surrounded Imam al-°usayn (`a) to listen to him and pray for the response of his supplication. Then, they wept with him. At sunset, they left Mount `Araf¡t with him.

This is the end of Imam al-°usayn’s supplicatory prayer on the `Araf¡t Day according to the narrations of al-Kaf`am¢ in his book of al-Balad al-Am¢n and `All¡mah al-Majlis¢ in his book of Z¡d al-Ma`¡d.
