SUPPLICATION OF ILHAAH FROM IMAM SADIQ (A.S.)
NARRATED FROM IMAM MAHDI (A.S.)
Abu Naeem Ansari says: I was living on rent in Mecca near the Rukn and a group of men from the tribe Muqassira were also present. Mahmoodi, Allaan e Kulayni, Abu Haysum Dinari and Abu Ja’far Ahwal Hamdani were present amongst them and totally there were about thirty men. I didn’t know of any other pure-hearted Shia from their group except Mohammad bin Qasim Alavi Aqeeqi.
It was the sixth day of Zil Hijjah, 293 Hijrah, when suddenly a young man who was busy in circumambulation wearing two clothes of Ahraam and holding his shoes in his hand, came towards us. His reverence was overwhelming and we stood up involuntarily; all of us stood up from their positions without any exception and greeted him with Salaam. Then he sat down and looked towards his right and left, then said:
Do you people know what Imam Sadiq (A.S.) used to say in the supplication of Il’haah?
We asked: What was it?
He said: He used to say:
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذي بِهِ تَقُومُ السَّماءَ ، وَبِهِ تَقُومُ الْأَرْضَ، وَبِهِ تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَالْباطِلِ ، وَبِهِ تَجْمَعُ بَيْنَ الْمُتَفَرِّقِ ، وَبِهِ تُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ الْمُجْتَمَعِ ، وَبِهِ أَحْصَيْتَ عَدَدَ الرِّمالِ ، وَزِنَةَ الْجِبالِ ، وَكَيْلَ الْبِحارِ ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ لي مِنْ أَمْري فَرَجاً وَمَخْرَجاً .
“O’ Allah! Indeed I beseech You in You name with which the sky is upright, and with which the earth is upright, and with which we differentiate between truth and evil, and with which we join the separated ones, and with which we segregate the joined ones, and with which we count the number of pebbles, and the weight of the mountains, and the measurement of the Oceans, to bless Mohammad and his holy Progeny, and to give me relief and a point of exit for my affair.[1]
It is reported in the book ‘Al Junnatul Waqiya’ that Imam Mahdi (A.S.) said: Imam Sadiq (A.S.) used to recite this supplication every morning. [2]

[2] Al Junnatul Waqiya: This book is associated with Mir Damad. It is worth mentioning that some say that this books is from the works of Late Kaf’ami (R.A.), but Allama Majlisi (R.A.) expresses his doubts in associating this book to Kaf’ami. He says in Biharul Anwaar: (1/17) the book ‘Al Junnatul Waqiya’ is written by some of the new age scholars, and it is very often associated to Sheikh Kaf’ami (R.A.). And Maula Aafandi has also expressed his doubts in his book ‘Ar-Riyad’ with regards to associating this book with Kaf’ami (R.A.). (Al Maqam ul Asni: p. 13)
