SUPPLICATION OF NUDBAH

Allamah Majlisi (may Allah have mercy on him) in his book "Zadal Ma'ad" said: with sound chain of collectors to Imam Sadiq (peace be on him): it is recommended to recite supplication of Nudbah in four festivals; on Fridays, on Eid Fitr, on Eid Adha and on Eid Ghadeer.[1]

Allamah Majlisi also reported it in Al-Bihar quoting from Sayyid bn Taa'us (may Allah have mercy on him), on the authority of some of our companions: Muhammad bn Ali bn Abi Qurrah said: I have quoted from the book of Muhammad bn Al-Husein bn Sufyan Al-Bazufari (may Allah be pleased with him) about the supplication of Nudbah, he mentioned that the supplication is for the leader of the time (peace be on him), and it is recommended to be offered in four (Eid) festivals.

A great scholar Al-Muhadith Nuri (may Allah have mercy on him) has narrated this supplication in "Tahiyyatu Zza'ir" quoting from "Misbaahu Zza'ir" by Sayyid bn Taa'us and from "Mizir" by Muhammad bn Mash'hadi with same chain of collectors. It was quoted also from "Al-Mizaril Qadeem" but with addition of reciting it on Friday night as it was recommended in the four festivals.[2] The supplication is as follows:

  اَلْحَمْدُ للَّهِِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّهِ وَآلِهِ ، وَسَلَّمَ تَسْليماً .

  أَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ عَلى ما جَرى بِهِ قَضاؤُكَ في أَوْلِيائِكَ ، اَلَّذينَ اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُمْ لِنَفْسِكَ وَدينِكَ ، إِذِ اخْتَرْتَ لَهُمْ جَزيلَ ما عِنْدَكَ ، مِنَ النَّعيمِ الْمُقيمِ ، اَلَّذي لا زَوالَ لَهُ وَلَا اضْمِحْلالَ ، بَعْدَ أَنْ شَرَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمُ الزُّهْدَ في دَرَجاتِ هذِهِ الدُّنْيَا الدَّنِيَّةِ ، وَزُخْرُفِها وَزِبْرِجِها ، فَشَرَطُوا لَكَ ذلِكَ ، وَعَلِمْتَ مِنْهُمُ الْوَفاءَ بِهِ . فَقَبِلْتَهُمْ وَقَرَّبْتَهُمْ ، وَقَدَّمْتَ لَهُمُ الذِّكْرَ الْعَلِيَّ ، وَالثَّناءَ الْجَلِيَّ ، وَأَهْبَطْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مَلائِكَتَكَ ، وَكَرَّمْتَهُمْ بِوَحْيِكَ ، وَرَفَدْتَهُمْ بِعِلْمِكَ ، وَجَعَلْتَهُمُ الذَّريعَةَ إِلَيْكَ ، وَالْوَسيلَةَ إِلى رِضْوانِكَ .

  فَبَعْضٌ أَسْكَنْتَهُ جَنَّتَكَ ، إِلى أَنْ أَخْرَجْتَهُ مِنْها ، وَبَعْضٌ حَمَلْتَهُ في فُلْكِكَ وَنَجَّيْتَهُ وَمَنْ آمَنَ مَعَهُ مِنَ الْهَلَكَةِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ ، وَبَعْضُ‏نِ اتَّخَذْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ خَليلاً ، وَسَأَلَكَ لِسانَ صِدْقٍ فِي الْآخِرينَ فَأَجَبْتَهُ ، وَجَعَلْتَ ذلِكَ عَلِيّاً ، وَبَعْضٌ كَلَّمْتَهُ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ تَكْليماً ، وَجَعَلْتَ لَهُ مِنْ أَخيهِ رِدْءاً وَوَزيراً ، وَبَعْضٌ أَوْلَدْتَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَبٍ وَآتَيْتَهُ الْبَيِّناتِ ، وَأَيَّدْتَهُ بِرُوحِ الْقُدُسِ .

  وَكُلٌّ شَرَعْتَ لَهُ شَريعَةً ، وَنَهَجْتَ لَهُ مِنْهاجاً ، وَتَخَيَّرْتَ لَهُ أَوْصِياءَ مُسْتَحْفِظاً بَعْدَ مُسْتَحْفِظٍ ، مِنْ مُدَّةٍ إِلى مُدَّةٍ ، إِقامَةً لِدينِكَ ، وَحُجَّةً عَلى عِبادِكَ ، وَلِئَلّا يَزُولَ الْحَقُّ عَنْ مَقَرِّهِ ، وَيَغْلِبَ الْباطِلُ عَلى أَهْلِهِ ، وَلا يَقُولَ أَحَدٌ لَوْلا أَرْسَلْتَ إِلَيْنا رَسُولاً مُنْذِراً ، وَأَقَمْتَ لَنا عَلَماً هادِياً ، فَنَتَّبِعَ آياتِكَ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَذِلَّ وَنَخْزى .

  إِلى أَنِ انْتَهَيْتَ بِالْأَمْرِ إِلى حَبيبِكَ وَنَجيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فَكانَ كَمَا انْتَجَبْتَهُ سَيِّدَ مَنْ خَلَقْتَهُ ، وَصَفْوَةَ مَنِ اصْطَفَيْتَهُ ، وَأَفْضَلَ مَنِ اجْتَبَيْتَهُ ، وَأَكْرَمَ مَنِ اعْتَمَدْتَهُ ، قَدَّمْتَهُ عَلى أَنْبِيائِكَ ، وَبَعَثْتَهُ إِلَى الثَّقَلَيْنِ مِنْ عِبادِكَ ، وَأَوْطَأْتَهُ مَشارِقَكَ وَمَغارِبَكَ ، وَسَخَّرْتَ لَهُ الْبُراقَ ، وَعَرَجْتَ بِهِ إِلى سَمائِكَ ، وَأَوْدَعْتَهُ عِلْمَ ما كانَ وَما يَكُونُ ، إِلَى انْقِضاءِ خَلْقِكَ، ثُمَّ نَصَرْتَهُ بِالرُّعْبِ، وَحَفَفْتَهُ بِجَبْرَئيلَ وَميكائيلَ وَالْمُسَوِّمينَ مِنْ مَلائِكَتِكَ ، وَوَعَدْتَهُ أَنْ تُظْهِرَ دينَهُ عَلَى الدّينِ كُلِّهِ ، وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ .

  وَذلِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ بَوَّأْتَهُ مُبَوَّأَ صِدْقٍ مِنْ أَهْلِهِ ، وَجَعَلْتَ لَهُ وَلَهُمْ «أَوَّلَ بَيْتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذي بِبَكَّةَ مُبارَكاً وَهُدًى لِلْعالَمينَ × فيهِ آياتٌ بَيِّناتٌ مَقامُ إِبْراهيمَ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ كانَ آمِناً» ، وَقُلْتَ «إِنَّما يُريدُ اللَّهُ لِيُذْهِبَ عَنْكُمُ الرِّجْسَ أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَيُطَهِّرَكُمْ تَطْهيراً»  .

  ثُمَّ جَعَلْتَ أَجْرَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ مَوَدَّتَهُمْ في كِتابِكَ فَقُلْتَ «قُلْ لا أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْراً إِلَّا الْمَوَدَّةَ فِي الْقُرْبى» ، وَقُلْتَ «ما سَأَلْتُكُمْ مِنْ أَجْرٍ فَهُوَ لَكُمْ»، وَقُلْتَ «ما أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِلّا مَنْ شاءَ أَنْ يَتَّخِذَ إِلى رَبِّهِ سَبيلاً» ، فَكانُوا هُمُ السَّبيلَ إِلَيْكَ ، وَالْمَسْلَكَ إِلى رِضْوانِكَ .  فَلَمَّا انْقَضَتْ أَيَّامُهُ أَقامَ وَلِيَّهُ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبي طالِبٍ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِما وَآلِهِما هادِياً ، إِذْ كانَ هُوَ الْمُنْذِرَ وَلِكُلِّ قَوْمٍ هادٍ ، فَقالَ وَالْمَلَأُ أَمامَهُ مَنْ كُنْتُ مَوْلاهُ فَعَلِيٌّ مَوْلاهُ ، أَللَّهُمَّ والِ مَنْ والاهُ ، وَعادِ مَنْ عاداهُ ، وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ ، وَاخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ .

  وَقالَ مَنْ كُنْتُ أَنَا نَبِيَّهُ فَعَلِيٌّ أَميرُهُ . وَقالَ أَنَا وَعَلِيٌّ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ واحِدَةٍ وَسائِرُ النَّاسِ مِنْ شَجَرٍ شَتَّى ، وَأَحَلَّهُ مَحَلَّ هارُونَ مِنْ مُوسى ، فَقالَ لَهُ أَنْتَ مِنّي بِمَنْزِلَةِ هارُونَ مِنْ مُوسى إِلّا أَنَّهُ لا نَبِيَّ بَعْدي ، وَزَوَّجَهُ ابْنَتَهُ سَيِّدَةَ نِساءِ الْعالَمينَ ، وَأَحَلَّ لَهُ مِنْ مَسْجِدِهِ ما حَلَّ لَهُ ، وَسَدَّ الْأَبْوابَ إِلّا بابَهُ .

  ثُمَّ أَوْدَعَهُ عِلْمَهُ وَحِكْمَتَهُ فَقالَ أَنَا مَدينَةُ الْعِلْمِ وَعَلِيٌّ بابُها ، فَمَنْ أَرادَ الْمَدينَةَ وَالْحِكْمَةَ فَلْيَأْتِها مِنْ بابِها ، ثُمَّ قالَ أَنْتَ أَخي وَوَصِيّي وَوارِثي ، لَحْمُكَ مِنْ لَحْمي ، وَدَمُكَ مِنْ دَمي ، وَسِلْمُكَ سِلْمي ، وَحَرْبُكَ حَرْبي ، وَالْإيمانُ مُخالِطٌ لَحْمَكَ وَدَمَكَ ، كَما خالَطَ لَحْمي وَدَمي .

  وَأَنْتَ غَداً عَلَى الْحَوْضِ خَليفَتي ، وَأَنْتَ تَقْضي دَيْني ، وَتُنْجِزُ عِداتي ، وَشيعَتُكَ عَلى مَنابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ مُبْيَضَّةً وُجُوهُهُمْ حَوْلي فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَهُمْ جيراني .  وَلَوْلا أَنْتَ يا عَلِيُّ لَمْ يُعْرَفِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بَعْدي ، وَكانَ بَعْدَهُ هُدًى مِنَ الضَّلالِ ، وَنُوراً مِنَ الْعَمى ، وَحَبْلَ اللَّهِ الْمَتينَ ، وَصِراطَهُ الْمُسْتَقيمَ ، لايُسْبَقُ بِقَرابَةٍ في رَحِمٍ ، وَلا بِسابِقَةٍ في دينٍ ، وَلا يُلْحَقُ في مَنْقَبَةٍ مِنْ مَناقِبِهِ يَحْذُو حَذْوَ الرَّسُولِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِما وَآلِهِما .

  وَيُقاتِلُ عَلَى التَّأْويلِ ، وَلا تَأْخُذُهُ فِي اللَّهِ لَوْمَةُ لائِمٍ ، قَدْ وَتَرَ فيهِ صَناديدَ الْعَرَبِ ، وَقَتَلَ أَبْطالَهُمْ ، وَناوَشَ ذُؤْبانَهُمْ ، فَأَوْدَعَ قُلُوبَهُمْ أَحْقاداً بَدْرِيَّةً وَخَيْبَرِيَّةً وَحُنَيْنِيَّةً وَغَيْرَهُنَّ ، فَأَضَبَّتْ عَلى عَداوَتِهِ ، وَأَكَبَّتْ عَلى مُنابَذَتِهِ حَتَّى قَتَلَ النَّاكِثينَ وَالْقاسِطينَ وَالْمارِقينَ .

  وَلَمَّا قَضى نَحْبَهُ وَقَتَلَهُ أَشْقَى الْآخِرينَ ، يَتْبَعُ أَشْقَى الْأَوَّلينَ ، لَمْ يُمْتَثَلْ أَمْرُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ فِي الْهادينَ بَعْدَ الْهادينَ ، وَالْاُمَّةُ مُصِرَّةٌ عَلى مَقْتِهِ ، مُجْتَمِعَةٌ عَلى قَطيعَةِ رَحِمِهِ ، وَ إِقْصاءِ وُلْدِهِ إِلَّا الْقَليلَ مِمَّنْ وَفى لِرِعايَةِ الْحَقِّ فيهِمْ .

  فَقُتِلَ مَنْ قُتِلَ ، وَسُبِيَ مَنْ سُبِيَ ، وَاُقْصِيَ مَنْ اُقْصِيَ ، وَجَرَى الْقَضاءُ لَهُمْ بِما يُرْجى لَهُ حُسْنُ الْمَثُوبَةِ ، إِذْ كانَتِ الْأَرْضُ للَّهِِ يُورِثُها مَنْ يَشاءُ مِنْ عِبادِهِ ، وَالْعاقِبَةُ لِلْمُتَّقينَ ، وَسُبْحانَ رَبِّنا إِنْ كانَ وَعْدُ رَبِّنا لَمَفْعُولاً ، وَلَنْ يُخْلِفَ اللَّهُ وَعْدَهُ ، وَهُوَ الْعَزيزُ الْحَكيمُ .

  فَعَلَى الْأَطائِبِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيٍّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِما وَآلِهِما فَلْيَبْكِ الْباكُونَ ، وَ إِيَّاهُمْ فَلْيَنْدُبِ النَّادِبُونَ ، وَلِمِثْلِهِمْ فَلْتُذْرَفِ الدُّمُوعُ ، وَلْيَصْرُخِ الصَّارِخُونَ ، وَيَضِجَّ الضَّاجُّونَ ، وَيَعِجَّ الْعاجُّونَ ، أَيْنَ الْحَسَنُ أَيْنَ الْحُسَيْنُ، أَيْنَ أَبْناءُ الْحُسَيْنِ، صالِحٌ بَعْدَ صالِحٍ، وَصادِقٌ بَعْدَ صادِقٍ، أَيْنَ السَّبيلُ بَعْدَ السَّبيلِ ، أَيْنَ الْخِيَرَةُ بَعْدَ الْخِيَرَةِ ، أَيْنَ الشُّمُوسُ الطَّالِعَةُ ، أَيْنَ الْأَقْمارُ الْمُنيرَةُ ، أَيْنَ الْأَنْجُمُ الزَّاهِرَةُ ، أَيْنَ أَعْلامُ الدّينِ وَقَواعِدُ الْعِلْمِ .

  لَيْتَ شِعْري أَيْنَ اسْتَقَرَّتْ بِكَ النَّوى ، بَلْ أَيُّ أَرْضٍ تُقِلُّكَ أَوْ ثَرى ، أَبِرَضْوى أَوْ غَيْرِها أَمْ ذي طُوى ، عَزيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ أَرَى الْخَلْقَ وَلاتُرى ، وَلا أَسْمَعَ لَكَ حَسيساً وَلا نَجْوى ، عَزيزٌ عَلَيَّ أَنْ تُحيطَ بِكَ دُونِيَ الْبَلْوى وَلايَنالَكَ مِنّي ضَجيجٌ وَلا شَكْوى .

  هَلْ مِنْ مُعينٍ فَاُطيلَ مَعَهُ الْعَويلَ وَالْبُكاءَ ، هَلْ مِنْ جَزُوعٍ فَاُساعِدَ جَزَعَهُ إِذا خَلا ، هَلْ قَذِيَتْ عَيْنٌ فَساعَدَتْها عَيْني عَلَى الْقَذى ، هَلْ إِلَيْكَ يَابْنَ أَحْمَدَ سَبيلٌ فَتُلْقى ، هَلْ يَتَّصِلُ يَوْمُنا مِنْكَ بِغَدِهِ بِعِدَةٍ فَنَحْظى .

  مَتى نَرِدُ مَناهِلَكَ الرَّوِيَّةَ فَنَرْوى ، مَتى نَنْتَقِعُ مِنْ عَذْبِ مائِكَ فَقَدْ طالَ الصَّدى ، مَتى نُغاديكَ وَنُراوِحُكَ فَنُقِرَّ عَيْناً ، مَتى تَرانا وَنَراكَ وَقدْ نَشَرْتَ لِواءَ النَّصْرِ تُرى .  أَتَرانا نَحُفُّ بِكَ وَأَنْتَ تَاُمُّ الْمَلَأَ وَقَدْ مَلَأْتَ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلاً ، وَأَذَقْتَ أَعْدائَكَ هَواناً وَعِقاباً ، وَأَبَرْتَ الْعُتاةَ وَجَحَدَةَ الْحَقِّ ، وَقَطَعْتَ دابِرَ الْمُتَكَبِّرينَ ، وَاجْتَثَثْتَ اُصُولَ الظَّالِمينَ ، وَنَحْنُ نَقُولُ الْحَمْدُ للَّهِِ رَبِّ الْعالَمينَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ كَشَّافُ الْكُرَبِ وَالْبَلْوى ، وَ إِلَيْكَ أَسْتَعْدي فَعِنْدَكَ الْعَدْوى ، وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْآخِرَةِ وَالدُّنْيا ، فَأَغِثْ يا غِياثَ الْمُسْتَغيثينَ عُبَيْدَكَ الْمُبْتَلى ، وَأَرِهِ سَيِّدَهُ يا شَديدَ الْقُوى ، وَأَزِلْ عَنْهُ بِهِ الْأَسى وَالْجَوى ، وَبَرِّدْ غَليلَهُ يا مَنْ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ اسْتَوى ، وَمَنْ إِلَيْهِ الرُّجْعى وَالْمُنْتَهى .

  أَللَّهُمَّ وَنَحْنُ عَبيدُكُ التَّائِقُونَ إِلى وَلِيِّكَ الْمُذَكِّرِ بِكَ وَبِنَبِيِّكَ ، خَلَقْتَهُ لَنا عِصْمَةً وَمَلاذاً ، وَأَقَمْتَهُ لَنا قِواماً وَمَعاذاً ، وَجَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنينَ مِنَّا إِماماً ، فَبَلِّغْهُ مِنَّا تَحِيَّةً وَسَلاماً ، وَزِدْنا بِذلِكَ يا رَبِّ إِكْراماً ، وَاجْعَلْ مُسْتَقَرَّهُ لَنا مُسْتَقَرّاً وَمُقاماً ، وَأَتْمِمْ نِعْمَتَكَ بِتَقْديمِكَ إِيَّاهُ أَمامَنا ، حَتَّى تُورِدَنا جِنانَكَ وَمُرافَقَةَ الشُّهَداءِ مِنْ خُلَصائِكَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى حُجَّتِكَ وَوَلِيِّ أَمْرِكَ ، وَصَلِّ عَلى جَدِّهِ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِكَ السَّيِّدِ الْأَكْبَرِ ، وَصَلِّ عَلى أَبيهِ السَّيِّدِ الْقَسْوَرِ ، وَحامِلِ اللِّواءِ فِي الْمَحْشَرِ ، وَساقي أَوْلِيائِهِ مِنْ نَهْرِ الْكَوْثَرِ ، وَالْأَميرِ عَلى سائِرِ الْبَشَرِ ، اَلَّذي مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ فَقَدْ ظَفَرَ وَشَكَرَ ، وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِهِ فَقَدْ خَطَرَ وَكَفَرَ ، صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلى أَخيهِ وَعَلى نَجْلِهِمَا الْمَيامينِ الْغُرَرِ ، ما طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ وَما أَضاءَ قَمَرٌ .

  وَاقْبَلْ تَقَرُّبَنا إِلَيْكَ ، وَانْظُرْ إِلَيْنا نَظْرَةً رَحيمَةً نَسْتَكْمِلُ بِهَا الْكَرامَةَ عِنْدَكَ ، ثُمَّ لاتَصْرِفْها عَنَّا بِجُودِكَ ، وَاسْقِنا مِنْ حَوْضِ جَدِّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، بِكَأْسِهِ وَبِيَدِهِ رَيّاً رَوِيّاً ، هَنيئاً سائِغاً ، لا ظَمَأَ بَعْدَهُ ، يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .

All praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds, and may the peace and blessing of Allah be upon our master, Muhammad, His Prophet and upon his holy family.

O' Allah! All praise are due for You for what You have decided and resolved upon in the issue of Your good friends; whom You have chosen for Yourself and Your Religion, when You choose from Yourself to them a great felicity and rank which did not decline nor terminated, after You have stipulated for them piety and righteousness in this despicable world and it's embellishments and ornaments, then they precondition that for You, and You are sure they will fulfill all the condition.

Then You accepted that from them and take them near Yourself, You bestowed on them elevated remembrance, and praise them in a clear terms, You descend the Angels on the Earth to fall down in prostration to them, and honoured them with Your revelations, You support them with Your knowledge, and You make them as a medium to reach You and access to Your pleasure. One of them dwelled in the Paradise until You sent him out for Your message, one of them bear the Ark and rescued him together with those who believe along with him from destruction for the sake of Your blessing, one of them was taken for Yourself as an intimate friend, he requested good in the later generation and You answered him and You make that very exalted, You spoke to one of them through the tree, and appointed his brother as his successor and helper, one of them was brought into existence without father, and bestowed upon him with a clear proof, and was supported by the Holy Spirit.

You have prescribe a divine law to all of them, and created a path for them, and You have chosen for them an executor to execute the duty after being safe and protected from one time to the other, for the establishment of Your Religion and proof over Your servants, so that the truth will not be embellish from its foundation, and falsehood to subdue the inhabitant of truth, so that a single man might not say: if You had sent a Messenger as a Warner to us in order to establish wisdom and guidance so that we might have followed Your revelation before this our disgrace and humiliation.

      Till the advent of Your beloved and noble one, Muhammad peace be upon him and upon his family, as You have chosen him as the master among Your creatures and make him the best among the selected ones, the best among the chosen ones, the most generous among those You relied upon, and You made him the foremost of Your Prophets, and sent him to the entire mankind and the Jinn among Your servants, and lowered Your east and west before him, and put the (Burraq) the flying horse under his control, and ascended him[3] to Your Heaven, and bestowed on him the knowledge of what took place and what shall take place till the end of Your creation, then You assist him from panic, the Jibrael and Mikael and other distinguished Angels gathered round him, and You promise him that his Religion shall prevail over other Religions even though the idolater may be averse.

There after You have inaugurated him and provided goods and perfections for him and  his holy family, and accord him and his family

{the first sanctuary established for mankind at Becca (Mecca) a blessed place and guidance to the people, therein are clear signs, the standing place of Ibrahim, he is safe whoso ever enters it}[4]

And You said: {Allah wish is but to remove uncleanness far from you O "people of the House" and purify you with a thorough purification}[5]

Then You have made the reward of Muhammad, may Your peace and blessing be on him and his holy family, love for them in Your Book. And You said:

{say (O' Muhammad): I ask of you no fee (recompense) there of, save love of my kinsfolk}[6] and You said: {what ever recompense (return) I have asked of you it is only for yourself}[7] and You said:

{I ask of you no reward for this, save that, who so will, chooses a way unto his Lord}[8]

Therefore they are the only means to gain access to You, the only medium to attain Your contentment.

When his days elapses, you gave the authority to his successor, Ali bn Abitalib (may Your blessing be upon them both and upon their children), as a guide, when he (Muhammad) was made a Warner and every nation has a guide, he (the Prophet) said in the presence of overflowing people, "whom so ever I am his master Ali is his master, O' Allah be a friend of him who is a friend to him (Ali) and an enemy to him who is an enemy to him, help who so ever help him and forsake who so ever forsake him"

And he said: "whom so ever I am his Prophet Ali is his chief", and he said: "I and Ali are from the same tree while the rest of mankind are from diverse tree" he legalize for him the position of Huran to Musa, he therefore told him: you are to me like the rank of Harun to Musa but certainly there will be no Prophet after me, he married to him his only daughter the mistress of the women of the two worlds, he made lawful to him (Ali) in the mosque what was made lawful to him (Muhammad) and closes all the doors (that link to the mosque) except the door of Ali.

He  (Muhammad) deposited his knowledge and wisdom to him (Ali) and said: "I am the city of knowledge and Ali is it's gate, whosoever desire the city and the knowledge should come through it's gate, there after he said to Ali : you are my brother, successor and inheritor, your flesh is my flesh, your blood is my blood your peace is my peace and your war is my war, the faith mixed with your flesh and blood just as it mixed with my flesh and blood, you shall take responsibility of the reservoir of my inheritance, you will pay back all my debts, and execute all my assignment, your followers shall be on the pulpit of gleam, their faces shall be brightening while surrounding me as my neighbour in the Paradise"

If not you, O' Ali the believer wouldn't have been known after me, he (Ali) is the guide after him (Muhammad) for the entire world from going astray, he is an illumination for the blind in the darkness, and strong rope of Allah and His straight path, no one preceded him regards to his close kinship, and no one preceded him in Religion, no one catch up with him in terms of virtues and in Excellency, he follow the foot step of the Messenger may the blessing of Allah be on both of them and on their family.

He shall fight against the misinterpretation of the Qur'an, during the cause of Allah the censure of the censurer will not subdued him, he had put to fright the valiant Arabs. And kill their heroes, he attacked and disperses their Calvary, he incited malice in their heart due to the battles of Badr, Khaibar and Hunain, they became foggy in their opposition to him, they dedicated themselves wholeheartedly in fighting him, till he destroyed those who break their loyalty to him and the renegades.

When his life span elapse and martyred by the malicious criminal imitating the earlier malicious criminals that did not execute the orders of the Prophet (bless be upon him and upon his family) concerning the guides one after the other, and the nation insist in their detestation, they all flocked together to cut off his kinship, putting aside his documents, except few faithful ones that fulfill their covenant towards the rights of his descendants.

           They slain some of them, and some were held as prisoners of war, some were exiled and the destiny occurred to them with the expected best recompense, since the Earth belongs to Allah, and He gives its inheritance to whom He want among His good servants, and good ending is for those who preserve their faith.

Glory be to our Lord, surely the promise of our Lord must be fulfilled, and Allah never fails his promise, He is Almighty, the Wise. So may purity be on to the house of Muhammad and Ali, blessing of Allah be upon both of them and upon their children, so let those who cry to cry and those who lament to lament, and for their types should shed tears, let the shouters shout, and the clamorous clamored and let those who roared to roar.

O' my master! How long my respond will be in you, which way I will address you confidentially? It is unbearable for me to get reply from other than you and to be cheated in the end. It is very painful for me to make you weep and the entire mankind to betray you.
