PRAYER FOR SEEKING HELP (IN A DIFFERENT MANNER)

This same prayer has been mentioned by Sadr ul Islam Hamadani in his invaluable book ‘Takaleef ul Anaam fi Ghaibatil Imam’ with a different method:

            He narrates from the authentic Syed, the teacher and Godly cleric, the sage of Samadan, the absolute jurisprudent, Syed Mohammad Hindi Najafi, who narrates from the great cleric Syed Hasan Qazweeni, who narrates from Syed Hasan Shustari - the Imam of congregational prayer – who narrates with his authority from Syed Alikhan, the commentator of Sahifa e Sajjadiyya, that:

            On Thursday night or Friday night, offer two units of prayer beneath the sky and above the roof with bare head and foot, and after offering the prayer bareheaded, say: “  يا حُجَّةُ الْقائِم“ Ya Hujjatul Qaa’em” 595 times (as per its alphabetical numerology).

            Know that its numerological number is derived by the following method: ( (ی10 + ( (ا1 + (ح)8 + (ج) 3 + (ۃ) 400 + (ا) 1 + (ل) 30 + (ق) 100 + (ا) 1 + (ء) 1+ (م) 40, the sum of which is equal to 595.

He has said: Keep this act hidden from those who are not worthy of it, because it is one of the secrets which I have tested several times. [1]
