SUPPLICATION FOR HIS REAPPEARANCE

(peace be upon him)IN FRIDAY PRAYER'S QUNUT

Ibn Maqatil reported that Abu Al-Hasan Rida (peace be upon him) said: what do you say in your Qunut on Friday prayers? What the people normally say I replied, he said: don't say what the people normally say rather recite the following:

أَللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ عَبْدَكَ وَخَليفَتَكَ بِما أَصْلَحْتَ بِهِ أَنْبِياءَكَ وَرُسُلَكَ ، وَحُفَّهُ بِمَلائِكَتِكَ ، وَأَيِّدْهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ ، وَاسْلُكْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَداً يَحْفَظُونَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ .

    وَأَبْدِلْهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِ أَمْناً ، يَعْبُدُكَ لايُشْرِكُ بِكَ شَيْئاً ، وَلاتَجْعَلْ لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ عَلى وَلِيِّكَ سُلْطاناً ، وَأْذَنْ لَهُ في جِهادِ عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّهِ ، وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ أَنْصارِهِ ، إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ .

O' Allah reform Thy servant and Thy ambassador as Thee reform Thy Prophets and Messengers and encircle them with Thy Angels and support him with the Holy Spirit from Thee, and send survey to his front and back that will save guard him from every thing, and exchange his condition after his scare with peace, to worship Thee without associating any thing with Thee and don't grant any of Thy creature an authority over Thy good friends and permit him to fight in Your course against Yours and his enemy and make me among his helper, verily You attained power over every thing.[1]
