Two Quranic Ayats, Sura 65 Talaq Ayat 2(last part)and Ayt 3 recited after the fajr prayer,
These are recited for relief from an apparently hopeless situation (especially economic)
Background: The story of precious pearl broken into 2 pieces by negligence of a king’s servant, turning out to be a blessing in disguise, by reciting this dua taught by Imam Ali علیه السلام. Dua can be used in the difficult economic situation, which may sometimes be self-inflicted.
وَمَنْ يَّتَّقِ اللّٰهَ يَجْعَلْ لَّهٗ مَخْرَجًا
wa maiyn yattaqil laaha yaj'al lahoo makhrajaa
Whoever is wary of Allah, He shall make for him a way out [of the adversities of the world and the Hereafter]
وَّيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ
Wa yarzuqhu min haisu laa yahtasib;
and provide for him from whence he does not count upon.
وَمَنْ يَّتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهٗ
wa many yatawakkal 'alal laahi fahuwa husbuh;
And whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him.
اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَالِغُ اَمْرِهٖ ؕ قَدْ جَعَلَ اللّٰهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدْرًا
innal laaha baalighu amrih; qad ja'alal laahu likulli shai'in qadraa
Indeed Allah carries through His commands. Certainly, Allah has ordained a measure [and extent] for everything.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever recites these six verses every morning, Allah will protect them from any adversity, even if they were already in danger.”
*قُل لَّن يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّـهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّـهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ*
"Say, ‘Nothing will befall us except what Allah has ordained for us. He is our Master, and in Allah let the faithful trust.'"(al-Tawbah, 9:51)
*وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ*
"Should Allah visit you with some distress, there is no one to remove it except Him; and should He desire any good for you, none can stand in the way of His grace: He grants it to whomever He wishes of His servants, and He is the All-forgiving, the All-merciful.." (Yunus, 10:107)
*وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ*
"There is no moving creature on earth but its sustenance dependeth on Allah: He knoweth the time and place of its definite abode and its temporary deposit: All is in a clear Record".( Hud, 11:6 )
*وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّـهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ*
"How many an animal there is that does not carry its own provision. Allah provides them and you, and He is the All-hearing, the All-knowing."(al-'Ankabut, 29:60)
*مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّـهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ*
"What Allah out of his Mercy doth bestow on mankind there is none can withhold: what He doth withhold, there is none can grant, apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, full of Wisdom."(al-Fatir, 35:2)
*وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّـهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّـهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّـهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّـهُ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ*
"If you ask them, ‘Who created the heavens and the earth?’ they will surely say, ‘Allah.’ Say, ‘Have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? Should Allah desire some distress for me, can they remove the distress visited by Him? Or should He desire some mercy for me, can they withhold His mercy?’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. In Him let all the trusting put their trust.’.’" (al-Zumar, 39:38)
*After reciting above verses say:*
*حسْبِیَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَیْهِ تَوَکَّلْتُ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِیمِ وَأَمْتَنِعُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ مِنْ حَوْلِهِمْ وَقُوَّتِهِمْ وَأَسْتَشْفِعُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقَ وَأَعُوذُ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ لَا قُوَّهَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیمِ.*
"Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. There is no god except Him. In Him, I put my trust, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne. I seek protection in Allah's Power and Strength from that of others, and I ask the intercession of the Lord of the Daybreak from the evil of what He has created. I seek refuge in what Allah wills; there is no power except with Allah, the Exalted, the Magnificent.'"

O Allah! This is my prayer that I have just offered on account of neither a need that You may have for it nor a desire that You may have for it; rather, it is only glorification of You, obedience to You, and response to You to carry out what You have ordered me to do. O my God: If there is a defect or a deficiency in my prayer, whether in the genuflection or the prostration; then do not reproach me for it; rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me) by Your Mercy, O the Most Merciful!

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Oh Majid, Oh Jawad, Oh He who is alive when there is no life, Oh Unique, Oh Solitary in His Oneness, Oh He who is not confused by sounds, Oh He who is not hidden from languages, Oh He who knows what every female carries and what wombs dislike and what increases. Oh He who knows the treachery of the eyes and what the chests conceal, Oh He who knows my secrets more than I do. Oh Owner of all things before they are created.
I ask you in the name of your hidden, preserved, living and sustaining name, who is a light from light. I ask you in the name of your brilliant light in darkness, your dominant authority, and your conquering kingdom over all else. I ask you in the name of your power, by which you humiliate everything, and your mercy, which encompasses all things. I ask you to send blessings upon Muhammad and his household, and to protect me from all misguidance and the evil of all that is feared by any of your creation. Surely, you are the hearer of supplication and the most merciful of the merciful
Importance of a ring of Aqeeq and looking at it in the morning and while praying.
Thirty-eighth: Sayyid Ibn Tawus has reported Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (‘a) as saying that whoever begins his morning wearing a ring of an agate stone in the right hand, turns the stone of the ring to the side of the palm of the hand before looking at anything else, looks at the stone, recites Surah al-Qadr, and says this devotional statement, Almighty Allah will safeguard him on that day from whatever descends from the heavens, whatever ascends to it, whatever comes into the earth, and whatever comes out of it, and he will be under the protection of Almighty Allah and one of his beloved servants up to the night:
اٰمَنْتُ بِاللهِ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَهُ وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالْجِبْتِ وَ الطَّاغُوْتِ وَ اٰمَنْتُ بِسِرِّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَ ظَاهِرِهِمْ وَ بَاطِنِهِمْ وَ اَوَّلِهِمْ وَ اٰخِرِهِمْ۔
"Amantu billahi waḥdahu lā sharīka lahū wa kafartu bil-jibt wa al-ṭāghūt, wa amantu bi-sirri āli Muḥammadin wa ʿalāniyatihim, wa ẓāhirihim wa bāṭinihim wa awwalihim wa ākhirihim.
I believe in Allah alone, with no partners, and I reject idols and false deities. I believe in the secrets and manifestations of the family of Muhammad, their outward and inward qualities, their beginning and their end
In al-Faqeeh: The Holy Prophet (s.a.w) used to say after the Fajr prayer
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَ الْحُزْنِ وَ الْعَجْزِ وَ الْكَسَلِ وَ الْبُخْلِ وَ الْجُبْنِ وَ ضَلْعِ الدَّيْنِ وَ غَلَبَةِ الرِّجَالِ وَ بَوَارِ الْاَيَّمِ وَ الْغَفْلَةِ وَ الذِّلَّةِ وَ الْقَسْوَةِ وَ الْعَيْلَةِ وَ الْمَسْكَنَةِ
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka menal hamme wal huzne wal a’jze wal kasale wal bukhle wal jubne wa zal-i’d dayne wa ghalabatir rejaale wa bawaaril ayyaame wal ghaflate waz zillate wal qaswate wal a’ylate wal maskanate
O Allah! I seek protection with You from grief and sorrow, weakness and laziness, miserliness and cowardice, turning away from the truth and idle talk of men, wasting time and negligence, vileness and cruelty, destitution and poverty.
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عَيْنٍ لَا تَدْمَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تَنْفَعُ (تُرْفَعُ)
wa a-o’ozo beka min nafsin laa tashba-o’ wa min qalbin laa yakhsha-o’ wa min a’ynin laa tadma-o’ wa min do-a’a-in laa yusma-o’ wa min salaatin laa tanfa-o’ (turfa-o’)
And I seek protection with You from the self that never gets satisfied, the heart that does not humble itself, the eye that does not shed tears, the supplication that is not heard, the prayer that does not benefit.
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنِ امْرَاَةٍ تُشَيِّبُنِيْ قَبْلَ اَوَانَ مَشِيْبِيْ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ وَلَدٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ رِبًّا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَالٍ يَكُوْنُ عَلَيَّ عَذَابًا وَ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ خَدِيْعَةٍ اِنْ رَاَى حَسَنَةٍ دَفَنَهَا وَ اِنْ رَاَىْ سَيِّئَةً اَفْشَاهَا.

And I seek protection with You from a woman who makes me old before my time, and I seek protection with You from a son who subjugates me, and I seek protection with You from wealth that is a torment for me, and I seek protection from the deceiver who conceals any good that he sees and propagates any evil that he sees.
اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِفَاجِرٍ عَلَیَّ (عِنْدِيْ) يَدًا وَ لَا مِنَّةً.
allahumma laa taj-a’l le-faajerin a’layya (i’ndee) yadan wa laa minnatan.
O Allah! Do not let an insolent one ever do me a favor and do not make him expect anything from me.

Dua From Holy Prophet (s.a.w) From Mufeed al-Deen in al-Majaalis
Narrated from Abi Barzah al-Aslami from his father who said: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) had offered the Fajr Prayer, he (s.a.w) raised his voice until his companions could hear him say the foll three times each
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِيْ دِيْنِيَ الَّذِيْ جَعَلْتَهٗ لِيْ عِصْمَةً.
allaahumma asleh lee deeneyal lazee ja-a’ltahu lee i’smatan.
O Allah! Set right for me the religion that You have made a safeguard for me.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَايَ الَّتِيْ جَعَلْتَ فِيْهَا مَعَاشِيْ.
allaahumma asleh lee dunyaayal latee ja-a’lta feehaa ma-a’ashee.
O Allah! Set right for me this world that You have made me live in.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَصْلِحْ لِيْ آخِرَتِيَ الَّتِيْ جَعَلْتَ اِلَيْهَا مَرْجَعِيْ.
allaahumma asleh lee aakherateyal latee ja-a’lta elayhaa marja-e’e.
O Allah! Set right for me my hereafter that you have made my place of return.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ سَخَطِكَ وَ اَعُوْذُ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ نِقْمَتِكَ.
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo berezaaka min sakhateka wa a-o’ozo be-a’fweka min niqmateka.
O Allah! I seek refuge with Your pleasure from Your ire and I seek refuge with Your forgiveness from Your wrath.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَعُوْذُ بِكَ لَا مَانِعَ لِمَا اَعْطَيْتَ وَ لَا مُعْطِيَ لِمَا مَنَعْتَ وَ لَا يَنْفَعُ ذَا الْجَدِّ مِنْكَ الْجَدُّ.
allaahumma innee a-o’ozo beka laa maane-a’ lemaa a-a’tayta wa laa mo’teya lemaa mana’ta wa laa yanfa-o’ zal jadde minkaljaddo.
O Allah! I seek refuge with You – nobody can deny to the one whom You have given, and nobody can give to the one whom You have denied and nobody’s efforts come to fruition without You.
[1]Amaali al-Toosi,, vol. 1, p. 158; Behaar al-Anwaar,, vol. 86, p. 134 From al-Qutb in his Da’waat: When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had offered the Morning Prayer he (s.a.w.a.) said:
اَللّٰهُمَّ مَتِّعْنِيْ بِسَمْعِيْ وَ بَصَرِيْ وَ اجْعَلْهُمَا الْوَارِثَيْنِ مِنِّيْ وَ اَرِنِيْ ثَارِيْ مِنْ عَدُوِّيْ.
allaahumma matte’nee be-sam-e’e wa basaree waj a’lhomal waaresayne minnee wa arenee saaree min a’duwwee.
O Allah! Grant me the use of my hearing and sight and let them stay with me till my death and show me the destruction of my enemies.
[2]al-Majlisi quotes it from Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 130 From Sayyid Ibn Taaoos in al-Iqbaal: Narrated from Ja’far ibn Muhammad (a.s.) from his father (a.s.), who said in a hadees:
When the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had completed his Morning Prayer, he (s.a.w.a.) would (continue to) face the Qiblah until sunrise, invoking Allah the Almighty (s.w.t.). At this time, Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) would come forward and sit behind the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and the people would come to seek permission to ask for their needs, and this is what the Prophet of Allah (s.a.w.a.) had instructed them to do.[3]Iqbaal al-Aamaal, p. 320; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 35, p. 289
Syeda Fatima Zehra (s.a) supplication after the Morning Prayer
لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا اللہُ وَحْدَہٗ لَا شَرِیْكَ لَہٗ، لَہُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَہُ الْحَمْدُ، یُحْیِیْ وَ یُمِیْتُ، بِیَدِہِ الْخَیْرُ، وَ ہُوَ عَلٰی كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِیْرٌ.
laa elaaha illal laaho wahdahu laa shareeka lahu, lahul mulko wa lahul hamdo, yohyee wa yomeeto, be-yadehil khayro, wa howa a’laa kulle shay-in qadeer.
There is no god, except Allah, the one, there is no partner for Him. For Him is the kingdom and for Him is the praise. He enlivens and gives death, in His hands is the good. And He is powerful over everything.
Ten times after the Morning Prayer, and ten times after Maghrib Prayer; all these would earn ten rewards, and ten sins would be forgiven each of them being equal to freeing slave from the progeny of Ismail, and no sin would be there on anyone, except the polytheist. And it is protection for you from all Satans and all evils if you recite between morning and evening
Qutub Rawandi reported from Imam Ali (as) that the Holy Prophet (saws) has stated, that he was afraid for him who does not remember the 4 blessings at dawn & as a result , may be snatched away from him
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ عَرَّفَنِيْ نَفْسَهٗ وَ لَمْ يَتْرُكْنِيْ عَمْيَانَ الْقَلْبِ
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee a'rrafnee nafsahoo wa lam yatruknee u'myaanal qalbi
All Praise to Allah who made Himself known to me & did not make me blind hearted
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَنِيْ مِنْ اُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہِ وَ اٰلِہ
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ja-a'lanee min ummati muh'ammadin s'allallaahu a'layji wa aalihee wa sallam
All Praise to Allah who included me among the followers of Muhammad (saws)
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ رِزْقِيْ فِيْ يَدَيْهِ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِيْ فِي اَيْدِيْ النَّاسِ
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee ja-a'la rizqee fee yadihee wa lam yaj-a'lhu fee aydin naasi
All Praise to Allah who has ordained my sustenance to be in HIS own hands & not in the hands of human beings
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِيْ سَتَرَ ذُنُوْبِيْ وَ عُيُوْبِيْ وَ لَمْ يَفْضَحْنِيْ بَيْنَ الْخَلَایِقِ.
alh'amdu lillaahil lad'ee satara u'yoobee wa lam yafz'ah'nee baynan naasi
All Praise to Allah who has covered my sins & shortcomings & did not degrade me in the eyes of Human beings
Alternate translation
Praise be to Allah who made me aware of His nafs (reality) and did not forsake me to be one of those whose hearts do not perceive.
Praise to be Allah who gave me (wisdom) to follow and obey Muhammad, blessings of Allah be on him and on his children, and also peace.
Praise be to Allah who has kept my sustenance in His (own) hand and did not give it to other people (like me) from whom I may have to seek it.

Three Supplications(i,ii,iii below) taught by Sayyid Muhammad al-Sultanabadi to Shaykh Muhammad Sadiq al-`Iraqi (through Imam Mahdi - peace be upon him) that alleviated his extreme grief and poverty,
(i) He taught him that he, after the Dawn Prayers, should put his hand on his chest and repeat seventy times the phrase of:
يَا فَتَّاحُ
Ya fattahu
O Opener
(ii) He taught him to regularly say the following supplicatory prayer that, as is recorded in al-Kafi, the Holy Prophet (s) taught to one of his companions who had been afflicted by disease and poverty. Soon after that, the man recovered health and got rid of poverty. The supplication is this:
لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاََّ بِٱللَّهِ
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَىٰ ٱلْحَيِّ ٱلَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ
tawakkaltu `ala alhayyi alladhi la yamutu
I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies.
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ٱلَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً
walhamdu lillahi alladhi lam yattakhidh waladan
All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي ٱلْمُلْكِ
wa lam yakun lahu sharikun fi almulki
and Who has not have a partner in the kingdom,
وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ ٱلذُّلِّ
wa lam yakun lahu waliyyun min aldhdhulli
and Who has not have a helper to save Him from disgrace;
وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً
wa kabbirhu takbiran
and magnify Him with all magnificence.
(iii) He taught him to say the dua below. In `Uddat al-Da`i, Shaykh Ibn Fahad reports Imam `Ali ibn Musa al-Rida (peace be upon him) to have said: Whoever says the following dua after the Dawn Prayer, will have all his requests made easy-to-gain for him and will be saved by Almighty Allah against every thing that aggrieves him
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ
bismillahi
In the Name of Allah.
وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وآلِهِ
wa salla allahu `ala muhammadin wa alihi
May Allah bless Muhammad and his Household.
وَأُفَوِّضُ أَمْرِي إِلَىٰ ٱللَّهِ

Sheikh Bahaayi writes regarding the supplications to be recited after the dawn prayer Ref :Miftah ul Falah: p. 206; Misbah ul Muta’hajjid: p. 53 :
While holding your beard with your right hand
يا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ .
“O’ Lord of Mohammad and his Holy Progeny, send mercy upon Mohammad and his Holy Progeny, and show haste in the relief of Mohammad and his Holy Progeny.”
and raising your left hand towards the sky, repeat seven times:
Majlisi (may Allah have mercy on him) in "Al-maqbaas" reported under the topic "The supplication after dawn prayer" that one should recite the following before he talks to any one:
يا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَعْتِقْ رَقَبَتي مِنَ النَّارِ.
O' my Lord! Send blessing to Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and quicken the relief of Muhammad's family and let me free from Hell fire.
Ch6 - 5 -Imam Reza (a.s.) advised to recite forty one (41) times,

Praise is for Allah who is pleased with the one who invokes Him and who supplicate to Him and in realizing his stubbornness His wrath is concealed. Pure is Allah who is aware of every whisper due to His knowledge and is different from all the creatures possessing body. There is no Lord except Allah. He cannot be seen by imagination or with eyes, and cannot be denied due to intellect and reason. Nor he can be created by the heart.
وَ یَعْلَمُ خَآئِنَۃَ الْاَعْیَنِ وَمَا تَخْفِی الصُّدُوْرِ وَاﷲُ اَکْبَرُ الْمُتَجَلِّلُ عَنْ صِفَاتِ الْمَخْلُوْقِیْنَ الْمُطِّعُ عَلٰی مَافِیْ قُلُوْبِ الْخَلَآئِقِ اَجْمَعِیْنَ
He is aware of the indication of eyes and the secrets of the hearts and Allah is too great and Majestic who is aware of the Qualities of the creation and is aware of the secrets of the entire Universe.
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ سُؤَالَ مَنْ لاَ یَمِلُّ دُعَآءَ رَبِّہٖ وَ اَتَضَرَّعُ اِلَیْکَ تَضَرَّعُ غَرِیْقٍ یَرْجُوْا کَشْفَ کُرْبِہٖ وَ اَبْتَہِلُ اِلَیْکَ اِبْتِہَالِ تَآئِبٍ مِنْ ذُنُوْبِہٖ وَ خَطَایَاہُ
O Allah! I seek from You like the one who does not fear his lord while asking from Him, and I beseech You like the one who is drowned in calamities and desires to come out of it. And I call upon You, so restlessly as the one who is repenting on his sins and errors.
وَ اَنْتَ الرَّئُوْفُ الَّذِیْ مَلَکْتَ الْخَلَآئِقَ کَلُّہُمْ وَفَطَرْتَہُمْ اَجْنَاسًا مُخْتَلِفَاتِ الْاَلْوَانِ وَالْاَقْدَارِ عَلٰی مَشِیَّتِکَ وَ قَدَّرْتَ اٰجَالَہُمْ وَ اَرْزَاقَہُمْ فَلَمْ یَتَعَاظَمَکَ خَلْقُ خَلْقٍ حَتّٰی کَوَّنْتَہٗ کَمَا شِئْتَ مُخْتَلِفًا مِمَّا شِئْتَ فَتَعَالَیْتَ وَ تَجَبَّرْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ وَزِیْرٍ وَ تَعَزَّزْتَ عَنْ مُوَازَرَۃٍ شَرِیْکٍ وَ تَنَزَّہْتَ عَنِ اتِّخَاذِ الْاَبْنَآءِ وَ تَقَدَّسْتَ عَنْ مَلاَمَسَۃِ النِّسَآءِ۔
And You are the most merciful, lord of the entire creation, creating various creatures by Your Will. You have fixed their life span and their sustenance creating of a creature is not difficult for You and designed them as You desired. You are above everything so as to be dependent of anything, or that a partner be ascribed to You.
فَلَیْسَتِ الْاَبْصَارُ بِمُدْرِکَۃٍ لَکَ وَ لَیْسَتِ الْاَوْہَامُ بِوَاقِعَۃٍ عَلَیْکَ وَ لَیْسَ لَکَ شَرِیْکٌ وَلاَ نِدٌّ وَلاَ عَدِیْلٌ وَلاَ نَظِیْرٌ وَ اَنْتَ الْفَرْدُ الْوَاحِدُ الدَّآئِمُ الْاَوَّلُ الْاٰخِرُ وَالْعَالِمُ الْاَحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الْقَآئِمُ الَّذِیْ لَمْ تَلِدْ وَلَمْ تُوْلَدْ وَلَمْ یَکُنْ لَکَ کَفُوًا اَحَدٌ-
We cannot see You with eyes, no false belief can reach up to You, and You have no partners, no opposite and no equal. You are one, alone and eternal. You are the first, the last, the Knower, unconcerned and the everlasting, You are not a son of anyone and no one is Your son.
لاَ تَنَالُ بِوَصْفٍ وَلاَ تُدْرَکُ بِوَہْمٍ وَلاَ تُغَیِّرُکَ فِیْ مَرِّ الدُّہُوْرِ صَرْفٌ کَنْتَ اَزَلِیًّا لَمْ تَزَلْ وَلاَ تَزَالُ وَ عِلْمُکَ بِالْاَشْیَآءِ فِی الْخِفَآءِ کَعِلْمِکَ بِہَا فِی الْاِجْہَادِ وَالْاِعْلاَنِ۔
None is like you and no one can understand you by praising or by hallucination. No time, no rotation of the earth can change You. You were Eternal and will remain everlasting till end. You know what is concealed. Your knowledge is same as it was before.
فَیَامَنْ ذَلَّتْ لِعَظَمَتِہٖ الْعُظَمَآءُ وَخَضَعَتْ لِعِزَّتِہِ الرُّءَ وسَآءُ
O the one! O the one in comparsion of Whose greatness the greatest personalities are nothing.And beforeWhose might the mighty people are helpless.
وَ مَنْ کَلَّتْ عَنْ بُلُوْغِ ذَاتِہٖ اَلْسُنُ الْبُلَغَآءِ وَمَنْ اَحْکَمَ تَدْبِیْرَ الْاَشْیَآءِ وَاسْتَعْجَمَتْ عَنْ اِدْرَاکِہٖ عِبَارَۃِ عُلُوْمِ الْعُلَمَآء
The words of the litterateurs fail to reach His Being. The One Who has fixed the course of action of everything. And the writings of the eloquent ones fail to express His realities.
یَا سَیِّدِیْ اَتُعَذِّبُنِیْ بِالنَّارِ وَ اَنْتَ اَمَلِیْ اَوْ تُسَلِّطُہَا عَلَیَّ بَعْدَ اِقْرَارِیْ لَکَ بِالتَّوْحِیْدِ
My Lord! Will you inmate me in the fire? Though You are my wish or you'll subdue the fire of hell on me! as I confess your oneness

( يَا سَامِعَ كُلّ صَوْتٍ ) after Dhuhr prayers:'for reappearance of Imam ajtfs It was said in Falaahis Sa'il that the most important supplication after (Zuhr)noon prayer is to imitate Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) in his supplication for Imam Al-Mahdi (peace be upon him).
On the authority of Ibad bn Muhammad Mada'in, he said: I arrived near Abu Abdullah in Medina when he finished his noon prayer and I met him raising his hands to the Heaven offering the following supplication:
يا سامِعَ كُلِّ صَوْتٍ ، يا جامِعَ (كُلِّ فَوْتٍ) ، يا بارِئَ كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ ،
O' He who hear all voice, O' He who gathered every thing, O' He who created soul after death,
يا باعِثُ ، يا وارِثُ ، يا سَيِّدَ السَّادَةِ ، يا إِلهَ الْآلِهَةِ ،
O' the causer, O' the Inheritor, O' master of the masters, O' God of gods,
يا جَبَّارَ الْجَبابِرَةِ ، يا مَلِكَ الدُّنْيا وَالْآخِرَةِ ،
O' The Mighty over the oppressors, O' The king of this world and the Hereafter,
يا رَبَّ الْأَرْبابِ ، يا مَلِكَ الْمُلُوكِ
O' the Lord of the lords, O' the King of the kings,
يا بَطَّاشُ ، يا ذَا الْبَطْشِ الشَّديدِ ، يا فَعَّالاً لِما يُريدُ ،
O' the vigorous, O' He who attain extreme vigorous, O' He who did what He wishes,
يا مُحْصِيَ عَدَدِ الْأَنْفاسِ وَنَقْلِ الْأَقْدامِ ،
O' He who knows the number of breaths and movement of feet,
يا مَنِ السِّرُّ عِنْدَهُ عَلانِيَةٌ ، يا مُبْدِئُ ، يا مُعيدُ .
O' He who to Him all secrets are visible, O' the starter, O' He who returns every thing.
أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلى خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَبِحَقِّهِمُ الَّذي أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ عَلى نَفْسِكَ ،
I requested from You by the sake of your right over the best among Your creatures and for the sake of their right you have made incumbent on Yourself
أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ ، وَأَنْ تَمُنَّ عَلَيَّ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ بِفِكاكِ رَقَبَتي مِنَ النَّارِ ، وَأَنْجِزْ لِوَلِيِّكَ وَابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ الدَّاعي إِلَيْكَ بِإِذْنِكَ ،
to send Your blessing on Muhammad and members of his house and to grant me the rescue of my neck from the Hell fire, execute for Your good friends from the descendant of Your Prophet, the callers to Your course with Your permission,
وَأَمينِكَ في خَلْقِكَ ، وَعَيْنِكَ في عِبادِكَ ، وَحُجَّتِكَ عَلى خَلْقِكَ ، عَلَيْهِ صَلَواتُكَ وَبَرَكاتُكَ وَعْدَهُ .
Your trustee among Your creatures, Your sight among Your servants, Your proof among Your creatures, may Your peace and blessing be upon him.
أَللَّهُمَّ أَيِّدْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ ، وَانْصُرْ عَبْدَكَ ، وَقَوِّ أَصْحابَهُ وَصَبِّرْهُمْ ،
O' Allah! Support him with Your assistance and assist Your servant, empowered his companions and grant them patience
وَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصيراً ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ ، وَأَمْكِنْهُ مِنْ أَعْدائِكَ وَأَعْداءِ رَسُولِكَ ، يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .
Open for them a protected authority and hasten his relief, let him prevail over Yours and Your Prophet's enemies, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.
1 Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 77; Mustadrak al-Wasaael, vol. 5, p. 96, Jamaal al-Saaleheen I said to Imam: May my soul be sacrificed for you, isn't you have prayed for yourself? He said: I have prayed to the light of the progeny of Muhammad (peace be on them) who shall retaliate against their enemies with the command of Almighty Allah. I said: when will he be coming out? When the owner of creations and command wishes, Imam replied. I said: what are the signs before then? He said: the signs are many and different. I said: like what? Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: A banner shall come out from the east and west, sedition will persist and a man shall come out from Yemen among the descendant of my uncle Zaid, and there shall be plunding of the house properties[1] then Allah will act according to his wishes.[2] It is in the book ‘Mikyaal ul Makarim’ that this supplication can be recited for the following benefits: First: It is recommended to pray for his holiness (A.T.F.S.) and to request for hastening his reappearance after the ‘Zuhr’ prayer. Second: It is recommended to lift hands while praying for his holiness (A.S.). Third: It is recommended to regard the Holy Progeny (A.S.) as intercessors and to request in their favour before making a wish. Fourth: It is recommended to praise and glorify Allah (S.W.T.) before beginning a supplication. Fifth: It is recommended to send ‘Salawaat’ on Mohammad and his Holy Progeny (P.B.U.T.) before demanding a wish. Sixth: Purifying ones soul from sins through repentance and the likes of it; so that the soul becomes purified and prepared for acceptance. The proof of this word is the request for forgiveness and freedom from hellfire requested by Imam (A.S.). Seven: In the words of the Infallibles (A.S.) and their supplications, if the word ‘Wali’ is used singly, without any additions, then its implied on our Master, Imam Mahdi (A.S.). Eighth: It is recommended to supplicate in the favour of the supporters and companions of his holiness (A.S.). Ninth: Imam witnesses the actions of the followers in every condition, he watches them and their behaviour, towards which the line ‘Your eyes between your slaves’ indicates and implies. Tenth: One of the nicknames of his holiness (A.S.) is the ‘Light of Mohammad’s Holy Progeny’. Its proof can also be witnessed in the narrations; ‘Muhaqqiq e Noori’ (R.A.) mentions a few of them in his book ‘Najm us Saqib’. Eleventh: His holiness is superior and greater than all the Imams (A.S.) except Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Hasan (A.S.) and Imam Husain (A.S.). This point is approved by other narrations as well. Twelfth: Almighty Allah (S.W.T.) has treasured his holiness and has delayed his advent to avenge his enemies and the enemies of Prophet (P.B.U.H.). There are several narrations regarding this topic. Thirteenth: The time of his Advent is amongst the concealed issues necessitated by the divine policy. It is also mentioned in several narrations. Fourteenth: The signs mentioned in the narrations are not certain and indispensable; due to the line mentioned in the end, ‘Allah performs as per His own will’. [3] [1]- Al-Bihar 86: 62; Falaahu Ssa'il : 170; Almisbaah: 48; Al-Baladul Ameen: 27. [2]- Mikyaalil Makarim 2: 11 . [3] Mikyaal ul Makarim 2 : 11 .

O the worthiest of being feared and the Lord of forgiveness! O most Merciful! You are my Master and my Lord, provide me sustenance as You are to me better than my father and my mother and all the people. To You I have poverty and need, and You are Rich than me. I ask You by the name of Your generous face, and I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and upon his brothers, the Prophets, and the pure Imams, and to accept my prayers, and have mercy upon my acquiescence, and take away from me all sorts of tribulations, O Beneficent!
Post Dhuhr Prayers is among the most recommended times for invoking the early reappearance of our master, Imam-e-Asr (a.s.) Imam Sadiq (a.s.)says,“One who says the following after the morning and noon prayers will not die till he reaches to the Qaem (a.t.f.s.) of Ale Muhammad (s.a.w.a.).”,
اََللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلٰی مُحَمّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمّدٍ وَ عَجّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ.
allahumma salli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
O Allah: (please do) bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

Deem death to be the best of the unseen, which I may await. And make it the best scene, which is to come before me;
وَ ارْزُقْنِيْ - عِنْدَ حُضُوْرِ الْمَوْتِ، وَ عِنْدَ نُزُوْلِهٖ، وَ فِيْ غَمَرَاتِهٖ وَ حِيْنَ تَنْزِلُ النَّفْسُ مِنْ بَيْنِ التَّرَاقِيْ، وَ حِيْنَ تَبْلُغُ الْحُلْقُوْمُ، وَ فِيْ حَالِ خُرُوْجِيْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا، وَ تِلْكَ السَّاعَةِ الَّتِيْ لَا اَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِيْ فِيْهَا ضَرًّا وَ لَا نَفْعًا، وَ لَا شِدَّةً وَ لَا رَخَاءً -

O God, there is only your glad tiding and there is nothing other than that, which can provide tranquility to my breast, pleasure to my soul, coolness to my eyes, joy to my face, shine to my complexion and peace to my heart. And the effect of its tranquility can become apparent on my complete being.

Therefore, through this, You ease the hardships of death and remove its pain and sorrow and lighten its severity;

Oh one! Who are like this, I ask Thee to Shower unbounded blessing on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and do for me such and such (in the place of ‘such and such’ ask for you need).
Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 87, p. 85-Raja’ Ibn Abi Zahhaak narrates: ‘On his journey to Khorasan, Imam Reza (a.s.) while sitting on his prayer-mat, after Asr prayer, would recite Tasbeeh (Glorification of Allah), Tamjeed (Praise be to Allah), Takbeer (Allah is the greatest) and Tahleel (there is no god but Allah) as many times as he wished. Then he would offer prostration of gratitude while he would recite one hundred times
حَمْدًا لِلهِ.
hamdan lillaahe.
Praise is for Allah.
Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is reported as saying: Anyone who implores Almighty Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. astaghfirullaha) seventy times after the `Asr Prayer will have seven hundred of his sins forgiven.
You may then say the following supplicatory prayer

allahumma inni a`udhu bika min nafsin la tashba`u

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد عَلَيْ كَ
allahumma inni as'aluka bihaqqi muhammadin wa ali muhammadin `alayka
O Allah, I do beseech You, in the name of the right of Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad that is incumbent upon You
صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد

to send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَٱجْعَلِ ٱلنُّورَ فِي بَصَرِي

Shaykh al-Kulayni reports Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) as saying: Whoever repeats the following seven times after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from seventy kinds of misfortune the least of which are , leprosy, and insanity; and his name will be erased from the list of the condemned ones, if it was listed there
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismi allahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah the All-compassionate, the All-merciful;
لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al`aliyyi al`azimi
there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.
It is highly advisable to engage yourself in glorification of Almighty Allah and implorations for His forgiveness, because this hour is as important as the pre-sunrise hour, as Almighty Allah has said in the Holy Quran:
وَسَبِّحْ بِحَمْدِ رَبِّكَ قَبْلَ طُلُوعِ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَقَبْلَ ٱلْغُرُوبِ.
And sing the praise of your Lord before the rising of the sun and before the setting.
Imam al-Sadiq (`a) is reported to have said, “When the color of the sun changes (i.e. the sun is about to set), you must remember Allah the Almighty and Majestic. If you are at that hour with one who preoccupies you from this, you must leave him and supplicate.

The Post-Evening ('Isha) Prayer Litanies as quoted from Misbah al-Mutahajjid
This supplication reported from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (peace be upon him) , is one of the supplications highly recommended for seeking sustenance.(Rizq)
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِيْ عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِيْ
allahumma innahu laysa li `ilmun bimawadi`i rizqi
O Allah! verily, I lack acquaintance with the place of my sustenance;
وَ اِنَّمَا اَطْلُبُهُ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلٰى قَلْبِيْ
wa innma atlubuhu bikhataratin takhturu `ala qalbi
rather, I am seeking it owing to ideas that come upon my mind.
فَأَجُولُ فِي طَلَبِهِ ٱلْبُلْدَانَ
fa-ajulu fi talabihu albuldana
I consequently wander in countries searching for it.
فَاَنَا فِيْمَا اَنَا طَالِبٌ كَالْحَيْرَانِ

By doing such, I am as confused as the confounded,
لَاۤ اَدْرِيْ اَ فِي سَهْلٍ هُوَ اَمْ فِيْ جَبَلٍ
la adri afi sahlin huwa am fi jabalin
since I do not know whether my sustenance lies in a plain, on a mountain,
أَمْ في أَرْضٍ أَمْ في سَمَاءٍ
am fi ardin am fi sama'in
on the ground, in the air,
اَمْ فِي بَرٍّ اَمْ فِي بَحْرٍ
am fi barrin am fi bahrin
on lands, in seas,
وَ عَلٰى يَدَيْ مَنْ
wa `ala yaday man
at whose hands,

وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ اَنَّ عِلْمَهُ عِنْدَكَ
wa qad `alimtu anna `ilmahu `indaka
I have full knowledge that You know all these,
وَ اَسْبَابَهُ بِيَدِكَ
wa asbabahu biyadika
the causes of them are in Your Hands,
وَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذي تَقْسِمُهُ بِلُطْفِكَ
wa anta alladhi taqsimuhu bilutfika
and it is You Who distribute it out of Your compassion
وَ تُسَبِّبُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ
wa tusabbibuhu birahmatika
and cause it out of Your mercy.
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ
allahumma fasalli `ala muhammadin wa alihi
O Allah, please send blessings to Muhammad and his Household
وَٱجْعَلْ يَا رَبِّ رِزْقَكَ لِي وَاسِعاً

my seeking for it easy for me,
وَ مَأْخَذَهُ قَرِيْبًا

wa la tu`annini bitalbi ma lam tuqaddiru li fihi rizqan
Please, do not fatigue me by seeking that which You have not decided for me to take,
فَاِنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِيْ [عَنَاۤئِي]

because You are certainly in no need for tormenting me
وَ اَنَا فَقِيْرٌ اِلٰى رَحْمَتِكَ
wa ana faqirun ila rahmatika
while I am in full need for Your mercy.
فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
fasalli `ala muhammadin wa alihi
(Please) Send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household
وَ جُدْ عَلٰى عَبْدِكَ بِفَضْلِكَ
wa jud `ala `abdika bifadlika
and confer liberally upon me, Your slave, out of Your graciousness.
اِنَّكَ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَظِيْمٍ

"فَنَادٰى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ"

يا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، يا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ إِحْفَظْ غَيْبَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، يا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ إِنْتَقِمْ لِابْنَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ عليهما السلام .
