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.

ۚ وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجْعَل لَّهُۥ 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]

وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ

Wa yarzuqhu min haisu laa yahtasib;

and provide for him from whence he does not count upon.

وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ ۚ

wa many yatawakkal 'alal laahi fahuwa husbuh;

And whoever puts his trust in Allah, He will suffice him.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَـٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ 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.

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.

Praise be to Allah who covers my defects and shortcomings and does not disclose my infamy among the people. Praise be to Allah, the one and only.

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.

wa a-o’ozo beka menim ra-atin toshayyebonee qabla awaana masheebee wa a-o’ozo beka min waladin yakoono a’layya ribban wa a-o’ozo beka min maalin yakoono a’layya a’zaaban wa a-o’ozo beka min saahebe khadee-a’tin in ra-ay hasanatin da-fa-nahaa wa in ra-ay sayye-atan afshaahaa.

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.

[1] al-Faqeeh, vol. 1, p. 335; Behaar al-Anwaar, vol. 86, p. 186

In Tahdhib al-Ahkam (by Shaykh al-Tusi), it is reported that whoever repeats the following ten times after the Dawn Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from blindness, insanity, leprosy, poverty, and (house) demolition or dotage:

سُبْحَانَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

subhana allahi al`azimi wa bihamdihi

All glory be to Allah, the All-great and in praise of Him;

وَلاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَةَ إِلاَّ بِٱللَّهِ ٱلْعَلِيِّ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi al`aliyyi al`azimi

and there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.

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

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*

"And if Allah should touch you with affliction, none can remove it save He; and if He intends for you good, none can hold back His Bounty. He causes it to reach whomsoever He wills among His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (Yunus, 10:107)

*وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّـهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ*

"And there is no creature on earth but that its sustenance lies with Allah, and He knows its [enduring] abode and its temporary place of lodging. All is in a manifest Book."Hud, 11:6)

*وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّـهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ*

"And how many a creature bears not its own provision, yet God provides for it and for you? And He is the All-Hearing and 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*

"Whatever mercy Allah unfolds for mankind, none shall withhold. And whatever he withholds, none shall release thereafter. And He is the Almighty, the Wise."(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*

"And were you to ask them, 'Who created the heavens and the earth?' They would surely say, 'Allah.' Say, ‘Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah? Should Allah desire some harm for me, can they remove His Harm? Or, should He desire some mercy for me, can they withhold His Mercy?’ Say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me. In Him, let 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.'"

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 righ

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.”

t hand 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,

یَا عَزِیْزُ.

YAA A’ZEEZO.

O Mighty.

He said "whoever recites with complete humbleness and humility, paying full attention, in the presence of Almighty Allah, will never be indigent of any creature and will get honor and popularity among the people.”

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.

supplication after the morning prayers

اِلٰہِیْ ہٰذِہٖ صَلَاتِیْ صَلَّیْتُہَا لَا لِحَاجَۃٍ مِنْکَ اِلَیْہَا، وَ لَا رَغْبَۃٍ مِنْکَ فِیْہَا اِلَّا تَعْظِیْمًا وَ طَاعَۃً وَ اِجَابَۃً لَکَ اِلٰی مَا اَمَرْتَنِیْ بِہٖ. اِلٰہِیْ اِنْ کَانَ فِیْہَا خَلَلٌ اَوْ نَقْصٌ مِنْ رُکُوْعِہَا اَوْ سُجُوْدِہَا، فَلَا تُؤَاخِذْنِیْ وَ تَفَضَّلَ عَلَیَّ بِالْقُبُوْلِ وَ الْغُفْرَانِ بِرَحْمَتِکَ یَا اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِیْنَ.

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!

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

Imam Sadiq(as) said to recite this 10 times after Magrib and Fajr

أَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ اكْتُبَا رَحِمَكُمَا اللَّهُ

Astaghfirullahi minash-shaytanir-rajeem. Iktubaa rahimakumallah.'

"I seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Satan. Write (it), may Allah have mercy on you both."

Then say

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرّحمنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَمْسَيْتُ وَ أَصْبَحْتُ بِاللَّهِ مُؤْمِناً عَلَى دِينِ مُحَمَّدٍ (صلّى اللهُ عليه وآله) وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ عَلِيٍّ (عليه السَّلامُ) وَ سُنَّتِهِ وَ عَلَى دِينِ فَاطِمَةَ (عليها السَّلامُ) وَ سُنَّتِهَا وَ عَلَى دِينِ الْأَوْصِيَاءِ صَلَواتُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِمْ وَسُنَّتِهِمْ آمَنْتُ بِسِرِّهِمْ وَعَلَانِيَتِهِمْ وَبِغَيْبِهِمْ وَشَهَادَتِهِمْ وَأَسْتَعِيذُ بِاللَّهِ فِي لَيْلَتِي هَذِهِ وَيَوْمِي هَذَا مِمَّا اسْتَعَاذَ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدٌ وَعَلِيٌّ وَفَاطِمَةُ وَالْأَوْصِيَاءُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَرْغَبُ إِلَى اللَّهِ فِيمَا رَغِبُوا فِيهِ وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ.

Bismi Allāhi Ar-Raḥmāni Ar-Raḥīm. 'Amsaytu wa 'asbahtu billāhi mu'minan 'alā dīni Muḥammadin (ṣallá Allāhu ʿalayhi wa-ālihī wa-sallam) wa sunnatihi wa 'alā dīni 'Alīyyin (ʿalayhi as-salām) wa sunnatihi wa 'alā dīni Fāṭimata (ʿalayha as-salām) wa sunnatiha wa 'alā dīni al-'awṣiyā'i ṣalawātu Allāhi ʿalayhim was-sunnatihim.

In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Compassionate. I have become a believer in Allah, on the religion of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and his Sunnah, on the religion of Ali (peace be upon him) and his Sunnah, and on the religion of Fatima (peace be upon her) and her Sunnah, and the religion of the Awsiya (peace be upon them) and their Sunnah. I believe in their secrets and their public actions, and I seek refuge in Allah in this night of mine and in my day from what Muhammad, Ali, Fatima, and the Awsiya sought refuge from. I ask Allah for what they asked for, and there is no power or strength except in Allah.

Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) is also reported to have said that one who desires to enjoy both the worldly life and the Next World, and one who has eye ache, should say the following prayer after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers

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

O Allah, O He Who extended the morning's tongue in the speech of its dawning,

and knows what will be before it comes to be!

ya man arqadani fi mihadi amnihi wa amanihi

O He Who has put me at ease in the cradle of His security and sanctuary,

وَأَيْقَظَنِي إِلَىٰ مَا مَنَحَنِي بِهِ مِنْ مِنَنِهِ وَإِحْسَانِهِ

wa ayqazani ila ma manahani bihi min minanihi wa ihsanihi

وَكَفَّ أَكُفَّ السُّوءِ عَنِّي بِيَدِهِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ

wa kaffa akuffa alssu'i `anni biyadihi wa sultanihi

and held back from me the claws of evil with His hand and His authority!

Clothe me, O Allah, with the most excellent robes of guidance and righteousness!

ilahi in lam tabtadi'ni alrrahmatu minka bihusni alttawfiqi

My God, if mercy from You does not begin with fair success for me,

فَمَنِ ٱلسَّاِلكُ بِي إِلَيْكَ فِي وَاضِحِ ٱلطَّرِيقِ

faman alssaliku bi ilayka fi wadihi alttariqi

then who can take me to You upon the evident path?

wa in aslamatni anatuka liqa'idi al-amali walmuna

فَمَنِ ٱلْمُقِيلُ عَثَرَاتِي مِنْ كَبَوَاتِ ٱلْهَوَىٰ

faman almuqilu `atharati min kabawati alhawa

then who will annul my slips from the stumbles of caprice?

وَإِنْ خَذَلَنِي نَصْرُكَ عِنْدَ مُحَارَبَةِ ٱلنَّفْسِ وَٱلشَّيْطَانِ

wa in khadhalani nasruka `inda muharabati alnnafsi walshshaytani

ilahi atarani ma ataytuka illa min haythu al-amali

fawahan laha lima sawwalat laha zununuha wa munaha

Woe upon it for being seduced by its own opinions and wishes!

wa tabban laha lijur'atiha `ala sayyidiha wa mawlaha

Destruction be upon it for its audacity toward its Master and Protector!

ilahi qara`tu baba rahmatika biyadi raja'i

My God, I have knocked upon the door of Your mercy with the hand of my hope,

وَهَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ لاَجِئاً مِنْ فَرْطِ أَهْوَائِي

wa harabtu ilayka laji'an min farti ahwa'i

fled to You seeking refuge from my excessive caprice,

وَعَلَّقْتُ بِأَطْرَافِ حِبَاِلكَ أَنَامِلَ وَلائِي

wa `allaqtu bi-atrafi hibalika anamila wala'i

fasfah allahumma `amma kuntu ajramtuhu min zalali wa khata'i

So pardon, O Allah, the slips and errors I have committed,

وَأَقِلْنِي مِنْ صَرْعَةِ رِدَائِي

wa aqilni min sar`ati rida'i

and release me from the foot-tangling of my robe,

فَإِنَّكَ سَيِّدِي وَمَوْلايَ وَمُعْتَمَدِي وَرَجَائِي

fa'innaka sayyidi wa mawlaya wa mu`tamadi wa raja'i

for You are my Master, my Protector, my Support and my Hope,

وَأَنتَ غَايَةُ مَطْلُوبِي وَمُنَايَ فِي مُنْقَلَبِي وَمَثْوايَ

wa anta ghayatu matlubi wa munaya fi munqalabi wa mathwaya

and You are the object of my search and my desire in my ultimate end and stable abode.

إِلٰهِي كَيْفَ تَطْرُدُ مِسْكِيناً ٱلْتَجَأَ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ ٱلذُّنُوبِ هَارِباً

ilahi kayfa tatrudu miskinan iltaja'a ilayka mina aldhdhunubi hariban

My God, how could You drive away a poor beggar who seeks refuge in You from sins, fleeing?

am kayfa tukhayyibu mustarshidan qasada ila janabika sa`iyan

How could You disappoint one seeking guidance who repairs to Your threshold, running?

أَمْ كَيْفَ تَرُدُّ ظَمْآناً وَرَدَ إِلَىٰ حِيَاضِكَ شَارِباً

am kayfa taruddu zam'anan warada ila hiyadika shariban

How could You reject a thirsty man who comes to Your pools to drink?

كَلاَّ وَحِيَاضُكَ مُتْرَعَةٌ فِي ضَنْكِ ٱلْمُحُولِ

kalla wa hiyaduka mutra`atun fi danki almuhuli

Never! For Your pools are full in the hardship of drought,

وَبَابُكَ مَفْتُوحٌ لِلطَّلَبِ وَٱلْوُغُولِ

wa babuka maftuhun lilttalabi walwughuli

Your door is open for seeking and penetration,

وَأَنتَ غَايَةُ ٱلْمَسْؤُولِ وَنِهَايَةُ ٱلْمَأْمُولِ

wa anta ghayatu almas'uli wa nihayatu alma'muli

and You are the goal of requests and the object of hopes.

These are my misleading caprices I have referred to the threshold of Your gentleness and kindliness.

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.

THEN

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

بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ يَا مَاجِدُ يَا جَوَادُ يَا حَيّاً حِينَ لَا حَيَّ يَا فَرْدُ يَا مُنْفَرِداً بِالْوَحْدَانِيَّةِ يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْتَبِهُ عَلَيْهِ الْأَصْوَاتُ يَا مَنْ لَا يَخْفَى عَلَيْهِ اللُّغَاتُ يَا مَنْ‏ يَعْلَمُ ما تَحْمِلُ كُلُّ أُنْثى‏ وما تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحامُ وما تَزْدادُ يَا مَنْ‏ يَعْلَمُ خائِنَةَ الْأَعْيُنِ وما تُخْفِي الصُّدُورُ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِسَرِيرَتِي مِنِّي بِهَا يَا مَالِكَ الْأَشْيَاءِ قَبْلَ تَكْوِينِهَا أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ الَّذِي هُوَ نُورٌ مِنْ نُورٍ وأَسْأَلُكَ بِنُورِكَ السَّاطِعِ فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ وسُلْطَانِكَ الْغَالِبِ ومُلْكِكَ الْقَاهِرِ لِمَنْ دُونَكَ وبِقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي بِهَا تُذِلُّ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وبِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وأَنْ تُعِيذَنِي مِنْ جَمِيعِ مَضَلَّاتِ الْفِتَنِ ومِنْ شَرِّ جَمِيعِ مَا يَخَافُ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ‏ الدُّعَاءِ وأَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ الرَّاحِمِينَ‏.

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

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

In the Name of Allah.

“I confide my cause unto Allah.

إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَصيرٌ بِٱلْعِبَادِ

inna allaha basirun bil`ibadi

Surely, Allah is Seer of His slaves.

فَوَقَاهُ ٱللَّهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوا

فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَنَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلغَمِّ

Then, We heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish.

وَكَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي ٱلْمُؤْمِنينَ

wa kadhalika nunji almu'minina

Thus do We save the believers.”

فَٱنَقَلَبُوٱ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ

So, they returned with grace and favor from Allah,

لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ

and no harm touched them.”

Only that which Allah wills shall come to pass even if people detest it.

عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ

`alayhi tawakkaltu

In Him have I put my trust,

وَهُوَ رَبُّ ٱلْعَرْشِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ

wa huwa rabbu al`arshi al`azimi

and He is the Lord of the Tremendous Throne.''

اللّهُمَّ أَحْيِنِي عَلى ما أَحْيَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طالِبٍ

allahumma ahyini `ala ma ahiyayta `alayhi `aliyya bna abi talibin

O Allah, (please) make me live carrying the conducts on which You made `Ali the son of Abu-Talib live

إِنَّكَ تَهْدي مَنْ تَشَاءُ إِلَىٰ صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ
