SUPPLICATION FOR THE PERIOD OF OCCULTATION BY ANOTHER NARRATION

The Honorable Sayyid Ali bin Taoos writes: Yunus bin Abdur Rahman narrates from Imam Reza (A.S.) that his holiness always recommended us to recite supplication for Imam Mahdi (A.S.), and one of his supplication for Imam Mahdi (A.S.) is the following one:

  أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَادْفَعْ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَخَليفَتِكَ وَحُجَّتِكَ عَلى خَلْقِكَ ، وَلِسانِكَ الْمُعَبِّرِ عَنْكَ بِإِذْنِكَ ، اَلنَّاطِقِ بِحِكْمَتِكَ ، وَعَيْنِكَ النَّاظِرَةِ في بَرِيَّتِكَ ، اَلشَّاهِدِ عَلى عِبادِكَ ، اَلْجَحْجاحِ الْمُجاهِدِ الْمُجْتَهِدِ ، عَبْدِكَ الْعائِذِ بِكَ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقْتَ وَذَرَأْتَ ، وَبَرَأْتَ وَأَنْشَأْتَ وَصَوَّرْتَ ، وَاحْفَظْهُ مِنْ بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِ ، وَعَنْ يَمينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمالِهِ ، وَمِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَمِنْ تَحْتِهِ ، بِحِفْظِكَ الَّذي لايَضيعُ مَنْ حَفِظْتَهُ بِهِ ، وَاحْفَظْ فيهِ رَسُولَكَ وَوَصِيَّ رَسُولِكَ وَآبائَهُ ، أَئِمَّتَكَ وَدَعائِمَ دينِكَ ، صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعينَ ، وَاجْعَلْهُ في وَديعَتِكَ الَّتي لاتَضيعُ ، وَفي جِوارِكَ الَّذي لايُحْتَقَرُ ، وَفي مَنْعِكَ وَعِزِّكَ الَّذي لايُقْهَرُ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَآمِنْهُ بِأَمانِكَ الْوَثيقِ الَّذي لايُخْذَلُ مَنْ آمَنْتَهُ بِهِ ، وَاجْعَلْهُ في كَنَفِكَ الَّذي لايُضامُ مَنْ كانَ فيهِ ، وَانْصُرْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ الْعَزيزِ ، وَأَيِّدْهُ بِجُنْدِكَ الْغالِبِ ، وَقَوِّهِ بِقُوَّتِكَ ، وَأَرْدِفْهُ بِمَلائِكَتِكَ . أَللَّهُمَّ والِ مَنْ والاهُ ، وَعادِ مَنْ عاداهُ ، وَأَلْبِسْهُ دِرْعَكَ الْحَصينَةَ ، وَحُفَّهُ بِمَلائِكَتِكَ حَفّاً .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَبَلِّغْهُ أَفْضَلَ ما بَلَّغْتَ الْقائِمينَ بِقِسْطِكَ مِنْ أَتْباعِ النَّبِيّينَ . أَللَّهُمَّ اشْعَبْ بِهِ الصَّدْعَ ، وَارْتُقْ بِهِ الْفَتْقَ ، وَأَمِتْ بِهِ الْجَوْرَ ، وَأَظْهِرْ بِهِ الْعَدْلَ ، وَزَيِّنْ بِطُولِ بَقائِهِ الْأَرْضَ ، وَأَيِّدْهُ بِالنَّصْرِ ، وَانْصُرْهُ بِالرُّعْبِ ، وَافْتَحْ لَهُ فَتْحاً يَسيراً ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ عَلى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّهِ سُلْطاناً نَصيراً .

    أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْهُ الْقائِمَ الْمُنْتَظَرَ ، وَالْإِمامَ الَّذي بِهِ تَنْتَصِرُ ، وَأَيِّدْهُ بِنَصْرٍ عَزيزٍ وَفَتْحٍ قَريبٍ، وَوَرِّثْهُ مَشارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبَهَا اللّاتي بارَكْتَ فيها ، وَأَحْيِ بِهِ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّكَ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ ، حَتَّى لايَسْتَخْفِيَ بِشَيْ‏ءٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ مَخافَةَ أَحَدٍ مِنَ الْخَلْقِ ، وَقَوِّ ناصِرَهُ ، وَاخْذُلْ خاذِلَهُ ، وَدَمْدِمْ عَلى مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ ، وَدَمِّرْ عَلى مَنْ غَشَّهُ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَاقْتُلْ بِهِ جَبابِرَةَ الْكُفْرِ وَعُمُدَهُ ، وَدَعائِمَهُ وَالقُوَّامَ بِهِ ، وَاقْصِمْ بِهِ رُؤُوسَ الضَّلالَةِ ، وَشارِعَةَ الْبِدْعَةِ ، وَمُميتَةَ السُّنَّةِ ، وَمُقَوِّيَةَ الْباطِلِ ، وَأَذْلِلْ بِهِ الْجَبَّارينَ ، وَأَبِرْ بِهِ الْكافِرينَ وَالْمُنافِقينَ ، وَجَميعَ الْمُلْحِدينَ ، حَيْثُ كانُوا وَأَيْنَ كانُوا مِنْ مَشارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبِها ، وَبَرِّها وَبَحْرِها ، وَسَهْلِها وَجَبَلِها ، حَتَّى لاتَدَعَ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً ، وَلاتُبْقِيَ لَهُمْ آثاراً .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَطَهِّرْ مِنْهُمْ بِلادَكَ ، وَاشْفِ مِنْهُمْ عِبادَكَ ، وَأَعِزَّ بِهِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ ، وَأَحْيِ بِهِ سُنَنَ الْمُرْسَلينَ ، وَدارِسَ حِكَمِ النَّبِيّينَ ، وَجَدِّدْ بِهِ ما مُحِيَ مِنْ دينِكَ ، وَبُدِّلَ مِنْ حُكْمِكَ ، حَتَّى تُعيدَ دينَكَ بِهِ وَعَلى يَدَيْهِ غَضّاً جَديداً صَحيحاً مَحْضاً ، لا عِوَجَ فيهِ ، وَلا بِدْعَةَ مَعَهُ ، حَتَّى تُنيرَ بِعَدْلِهِ ظُلَمَ الْجَوْرِ ، وَتُطْفِئَ بِهِ نيرانَ الْكُفْرِ ، وَتُظْهِرَ بِهِ مَعاقِدَ الْحَقِّ ، وَمَجْهُولَ الْعَدْلِ ، وَتُوضِحَ بِهِ مُشْكِلاتِ الْحُكْمِ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَإِنَّهُ عَبْدُكَ الَّذِي اسْتَخْلَصْتَهُ لِنَفْسِكَ ، وَاصْطَفَيْتَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَاصْطَفَيْتَهُ عَلى عِبادِكَ ، وَائْتَمَنْتَهُ عَلى غَيْبِكَ ، وَعَصَمْتَهُ مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ ، وَبَرَّأْتَهُ مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ ، وَطَهَّرْتَهُ ] مِنَ الرِّجْسِ[ ، وَصَرَّفْتَهُ عَنِ الدَّنَسِ ، وَسَلَّمْتَهُ مِنَ الرَّيْبِ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّا نَشْهَدُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ ، وَيَوْمَ حُلُولِ الطَّامَّةِ ، أَنَّهُ لَمْ يُذْنِبْ وَلَمْ يَأْتِ حَوْباً ، وَلَمْ يَرْتَكِبْ لَكَ مَعْصِيَةً ، وَلَمْ يُضَيِّعْ لَكَ طاعَةً ، وَلَمْ يَهْتِكْ لَكَ حُرْمَةً ، وَلَمْ يُبَدِّلْ لَكَ فَريضَةً ، وَلَمْ يُغَيِّرْ لَكَ شَريعَةً ، وَأَنَّهُ الْإِمامُ التَّقِيُّ الْهادِى الْمَهْدِيُّ الطَّاهِرُ التَّقِيُّ الْوَفِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلى آبائِهِ ، وَأَعْطِهِ في نَفْسِهِ وَوُلْدِهِ ، وَأَهْلِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَاُمَّتِهِ وَجَميعِ رَعِيَّتِهِ ، ما تُقِرُّ بِهِ عَيْنَهُ ، وَتَسُرُّ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ ، وَتَجْمَعُ لَهُ مُلْكَ الْمُمْلَكاتِ كُلِّها ، قَريبِها وَبَعيدِها ، وَعَزيزِها وَذَليلِها ، حَتَّى يَجْرِيَ حُكْمُهُ عَلى كُلِّ حُكْمٍ ، وَيَغْلِبَ بِحَقِّهِ عَلى كُلِّ باطِلٍ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَاسْلُكْ بِنا عَلى يَدَيْهِ مِنْهاجَ الْهُدى ، وَالْمَحَجَّةَ الْعُظْمى ، وَالطَّريقَةَ الْوُسْطى ، اَلَّتي يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهَا الْغالي ، وَيَلْحَقُ بِهَا التَّالي .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَقَوِّنا عَلى طاعَتِهِ، وَثَبِّتْنا عَلى مُشايَعَتِهِ، وَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنا بِمُتابَعَتِهِ، وَاجْعَلْنا في حِزْبِهِ الْقَوَّامينَ بِأَمْرِهِ ، اَلصَّابِرينَ مَعَهُ ، اَلطَّالِبينَ رِضاكَ بِمُناصَحَتِهِ ، حَتَّى تَحْشُرَنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ في أَنْصارِهِ وَأَعْوانِهِ ، وَمُقَوِّيَةِ سُلْطانِهِ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَاجْعَلْ ذلِكَ كُلَّهُ مِنَّا لَكَ خالِصاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَكٍّ وَشُبْهَةٍ وَرِياءٍ وَسُمْعَةٍ ، حَتَّى لانَعْتَمِدَ بِهِ غَيْرَكَ ، وَلانَطْلُبَ بِهِ إِلّا وَجْهَكَ ، وَحَتَّى تُحِلَّنا مَحَلَّهُ ، وَتَجْعَلَنا فِي الْجَنَّةِ مَعَهُ ، وَلاتَبْتَلِنا في أَمْرِهِ بِالسَّآمَةِ وَالْكَسَلِ وَالْفَتْرَةِ وَالْفَشَلِ .

    وَاجْعَلْنا مِمَّنْ تَنْتَصِرُ بِهِ لِدينِكَ ، وَتُعِزُّ بِهِ نَصْرَ وَلِيِّكَ ، وَلاتَسْتَبْدِلْ بِنا غَيْرَنا ، فَإِنَّ اسْتِبْدالَكَ بِنا غَيْرَناعَلَيْكَ يَسيرٌ ، وَهُوَ عَلَيْنا كَبيرٌ ، إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَصَلِّ عَلى وُلاةِ عُهُودِهِ ، وَبَلِّغْهُمْ آمالَهُمْ ، وَزِدْ في آجالِهِمْ وَانْصُرْهُمْ وَتَمِّمْ لَهُمْ ما أَسْنَدْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِ دينِكَ ، وَاجْعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَعْواناً وَعَلى دينِكَ أَنْصاراً ، وَصَلِّ عَلى آبائِهِ الطَّاهِرينَ الْأَئِمَّةِ الرَّاشِدينَ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ فَإِنَّهُمْ مَعادِنُ كَلِماتِكَ ، وَخُزَّانُ عِلْمِكَ ، وَوُلاةُ أَمْرِكَ ، وَخالِصَتُكَ مِنْ عِبادِكَ، وَخِيَرَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَأَوْلِيائُكَ وَسَلائِلُ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، وَصَفْوَتُكَ وَأَوْلادُ أَصْفِيائِكَ ، صَلَواتُكَ وَرَحْمَتُكَ وَبَرَكاتُكَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعينَ .

    أَللَّهُمَّ وَشُرَكاؤُهُ في أَمْرِهِ ، وَمُعاوِنُوهُ عَلى طاعَتِكَ ، اَلَّذينَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ حِصْنَهُ وَسِلاحَهُ وَمَفْزَعَهُ وَاُنْسَهُ ، اَلَّذينَ سَلَوْا عَنِ الْأَهْلِ وَالْأَوْلادِ ، وَتَجافُوا الْوَطَنَ ، وَعَطَّلُوا الْوَثيرَ مِنَ الْمِهادِ ، قَدْ رَفَضُوا تِجاراتِهِمْ ، وَأَضَرُّوا بِمَعايِشِهِمْ ، وَفُقِدُوا في أَنْدِيَتِهِمْ بِغَيْرِ غَيْبَةٍ عَنْ مِصْرِهِمْ ، وَحالَفُوا الْبَعيدَ مِمَّنْ عاضَدَهُمْ عَلى أَمْرِهِمْ ، وَخالَفُوا الْقَريبَ مِمَّنْ صَدَّ عَنْ وِجْهَتِهِمْ ، وَائْتَلَفُوا بَعْدَ التَّدابُرِ وَالتَّقاطُعِ في دَهْرِهِمْ ، وَقَطَعُوا الْأَسْبابَ الْمُتَّصِلَةَ بِعاجِلِ حُطامٍ مِنَ الدُّنْيا .

    فَاجْعَلْهُمُ اللَّهُمَّ في حِرْزِكَ وَفي ظِلِّ كَنَفِكَ ، وَرُدَّ عَنْهُمْ بَأْسَ مَنْ قَصَدَ إِلَيْهِمْ بِالْعَداوَةِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَأَجْزِلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ دَعْوَتِكَ مِنْ كِفايَتِكَ وَمَعُونَتِكَ لَهُمْ ، وَتَأْييدِكَ وَنَصْرِكَ إِيَّاهُمْ ، ما تُعينُهُمْ بِهِ عَلى طاعَتِكَ ، وَأَزْهِقْ بِحَقِّهِمْ باطِلَ مَنْ أَرادَ إِطْفاءَ نُورِكَ ، وَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ .

    وَامْلَأْ بِهِمْ كُلَّ اُفُقٍ مِنَ الْآفاقِ ، وَقُطْرٍ مِنَ الْأَقْطارِ قِسْطاً وَعَدْلاً وَرَحْمَةً وَفَضْلاً ، وَاشْكُرْ لَهُمْ عَلى حَسَبِ كَرَمِكَ وَجُودِكَ ، وَما مَنَنْتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْقائِمينَ بِالْقِسْطِ مِنْ عِبادِكَ ، وَاذْخَرْ لَهُمْ مِنْ ثَوابِكَ ما تَرْفَعُ لَهُمْ بِهِ الدَّرَجاتِ ، إِنَّكَ تَفْعَلُ ما تَشاءُ وَتَحْكُمُ ما تُريدُ ، آمينَ رَبَّ الْعالَمينَ .

            O’ Allah, bless Mohammad and his household, and keep all the calamities away from Your Guardian, Vicegerent and Proof for the creation, and Your tongue which speaks the truth with Your permission, which utters Your wisdom, who is Your gazing eyes for the creation, the witness over Your slaves, the effortful striver who seeks refuge in You. O’ Allah, protect him from the evil of what You created and brought into being, invented, initiated and shaped, and protect him from the front and behind his back, from his right and his left, from above him and below him, with Your protection which saves the protected from destruction. And protect Your Prophet, and the successor of Your Prophet and his fathers, Your Imams and the pillars of Your religion, peace be upon all of them, and regard him as Your deposit which cannot be wasted, place him in Your vicinity which does not degrade, and in Your support and dignity wich cannot be dominated. O’ Allah, protect him through Your firm protection which saves the protected from being dominated, and place him in Your surrounding and under Your shadow of grace wherein whoever is placed does not get oppressed, and support him with Your powerful support, and help him with Your overcoming army, and strengthen him with Your strength, and accompany him with Your angels. O’ Allah, befriend all those who befriend him, and envy all those who envy him, and cover him with Your firm armor, and gather Your angels in his surroundings. O’ Allah, send to him the best of what You have sent towards the establishers of justice among the followers of Prophets. O’ Allah, end all the differences through his noble existence, and put an end to all the disorientations and conflicts through him, and put oppression to death by his help, and let justice prevail, and adorn the earth which his prolong stay, and assist him with divine support, and make him victorious by creating his fear upon hearts, and provide him an easy victory. O’ Allah, make him the Riser, the Anticipated, the Imam through whom You will support us, and assist him with your powerful help and a nearing victory, and help him inherit the easts and wests of earth which are blessed by You, and revive Your prophet’s tradition through him, peace be upon him and his Progeny, until anything from the truth is not concealed due to the fear of anyone from the creation, and strengthen his supporter, and humiliate those who humiliate him, send Your wrath upon those who apparently envy him, and destroy those who plot against him. O’ Allah, put the infidel tyrants and their bases to death through him, and destroy its foundations and establishers, destroy with his divine power all the heads of misguidance, sources of changes, finishers of traditions, enhancers of evil; humiliate all the tyrants, infidels, hypocrites and all the disbelievers through him, `wherever and whenever they might exist in the easts and wests of earth, in the lands and the seas, in the deserts and on the mountains, until there remains none from them and no sign of them is left. O’ Allah, purify Your cities off them, and cure Your slaves with their destruction, and honor the believers with his holiness, and revive the traditions of the prophets and the wisdom of Your messenger (which was forgotten), and bring back through him all that was abolished from the religion, and altered from Your commands, until Your true religion returns through him in a fresh, pure, unaltered, and correct form, without any deviation or changes; so that the darkness of oppressions is illuminated by his light of justice, and extinguish the fire of infidelity through him, and solve the knots and webs of truth through him, and make the unknown justice evident through him, and clear the difficulties of the rulings through him. O’ Allah, indeed he is Your slave whom You have purified for Yourself, and have chosen from Your creations, who is trustworthy for knowing the unseen, whom You have protected from sins, and kept away from flaws, and purified from filths, and cleaned from all impurities, and secured from all doubts and skepticisms. O’ Allah, indeed we bear witness for him on the day of Resurrection, the day of the occurrence of a great incident, that he has never sinned, nor committed any crime or wrongdoing, and he did not ignore Your obedience, nor did he break any sanctity, he hasn’t altered any obligation, nor did he change the Sharia, and that he is the Imam, the pious, the guide, the guided one, the purified, the god-fearing, the loyal, the desirable and the good-natured one. O’ Allah, send mercy upon him and his forefathers, and grant him along with his children, family, his nation, and all his people, that which brightens his eyes, and which rejoices him, and gather all the governments for him, both the near and far ones, the dignified and the disgraced ones, until his command is established upon all the orders, and he dominates with his truth over all the evil. O’ Allah, guide us with his hands through the path of guidance, and the bright way of moderation, the path of temperance, towards which returns the exaggerators, and which is joined by the arrears. O’ Allah, strengthen us for his obedience, and make us firm for his support, and shower Your grace upon us for his imitation, and regard us amongst his army, the establishers of his command, those who endure with him, those who seek Your satisfaction by wishing his good, until You raise us on the Day of Resurrection among his supporters and companions, the establishers of his governance. O’ Allah, bless Mohammad and his household, and regard all this from us purely for Yourself without any doubt or skepticism or hypocrisy and self-portrayal, so that we do not depend upon anyone for this act except You, and do not seek with it anything but You, until You place us on his threshold, and along with him in heaven, and do not indulge us in any laziness, weakness, lethargy or tiredness regarding his obedience, and regard us among those through whom You will aid Your religion, and strengthen the support of Your Guardian, and do not exchange us for others, because this exchange will be easy for You but great upon us, indeed You are powerful over all things. O’ Allah, bless the governors of his times, and help them reach their desires, and increase their lives, and complete that which is related to them from the issues of Your religion, and regard us as their supporters and the supporters of Your religion, and bless his holy forefathers, the Guiding Imams. O’ Allah, indeed the are the sources of Your word, the treasures of Your knowledge, the Guardians of Your order, the purified ones amongst Your slaves, the selected ones amongst Your creations, Your friends and the Progeny of Your friends, the chosen ones and their descendants, send Your blessings, grace and bounties upon all of them. O’ Allah, those who are his partners in his case, his supporters in Your obedience, those whom You have regarded his fort, his arms, his shelter and the source of his relief, those who disconnected themselves from their relatives and sons, and left their nations, who have forsaken their beds of relaxation, set aside their trade, faced loss in their sustenance, who went into solitude even before exiting their cities, who joined hands with all those who supported them in their cause, though they were not closely related to each other, and they opposed those near and dear ones who were obstacles in their motives, they came together after their differences and separations forsaking all the worldly means of pleasure. Thus, O’ Allah, place them in Your protection and under the shadow of Your support, and repel the evil of all those who intend any evil against them, and increase Your sufficiency and support and approval and aid for them, which will help them in Your obedience, and through their righteousness extinguish the evil of all those who wish to put off Your light, and bless Mohammad and his household. And fill all the horizons of the world with justice, equality, mercy and grace by their means. And thank them as per Your grace and generosity, like You have gratified those who are the establishers of justice from Your slaves, and store such reward for them which may elevate their grades, indeed You act as per Your will and order as per Your decision. Amen, O’ Lord of the worlds. ^[1]

The honorable Sayyid Razi ud Deen, Ali bin Taoos, states: This narration comprises of a section of supplication which was not included in the supplication mentioned in the pervious narration.

«أللّهمّ ادفع عن وليّك وخليفتك ...»

 ‘O Allah, defend Your Guardian and Vicegerent…’ he continued the supplication as per the aforementioned narration, until the line«وهو علينا كبير», then narrated the following section:

أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى وُلاةِ عَهْدِهِ وَالْأَئِمَّةِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ ، وَبَلِّغْهُمْ آمالَهُمْ ، وَ زِدْ في آجالِهِمْ ، وَأَعِزَّ نَصْرَهُمْ ، وَتَمِّمْ لَهُمْ ما أَسْنَدْتَ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ أَمْرِكَ لَهُمْ ، وَثَبِّتْ دَعائِمَهُمْ ، وَاجْعَلْنا لَهُمْ أَعْواناً ، وَعَلى دينِكَ أَنْصاراً .

    فَإِنَّهُمْ مَعادِنُ كَلِماتِكَ، وَخُزَّانُ عِلْمِكَ، وَأَرْكانُ تَوْحيدِكَ، وَدَعائِمُ دينِكَ ، وَوُلاةُ أَمْرِكَ ، وَخالِصَتُكَ مِنْ عِبادِكَ ، وَصَفْوَتُكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَأَوْلِياؤُكَ وَسَلائِلُ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، وَصَفْوَةُ أَوْلادِ نَبِيِّكَ ، وَالسَّلامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ .

            “O’Allah, bless the Guardians of his era and the Imams after him, and help the achieve their desires, and increase their lives, and strengthen their support, and complete that which is related to them from Your religion, and establish their foundations, and make us their supporters, and the devotees of Your religion, as they are the sources of Your word, and the treasures of Your knowledge, and the pillars of Your oneness, and the foundations of Your religion, and the Guardians of Your order, and the Purified ones form your slaves, and the chosen ones from Your creation, and Your devotees and their sons, the selected ones from the Progeny of Your Prophet, and Allah’s peace, mercy and grace be upon them. ^[3]
