SUPPLICATION FOR THE RELIEF

ON THE DAY OF HIS REAPPEARANCE

Sheikh No’maani narrates this supplication in his book ‘Al Ghaybah’ from Yunus bin Zibyaan that Imam Sadiq (A.S.) said:

            When the eve of Friday arrives, Allah sends an angel towards the Heaven of this world. That blowing the dawn, that angel sits on the Throne situating himself above the ‘Bait ul Ma’moor’. Then he arranges pulpits of light for Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him), Ali (A.S.), Imam Hasan and Imam Husain (peace be upon them), they ascend the pulpit, then the angles and the prophets and the believers gather around them and the doors of the Heaven opens wide.

            When the time of Zuhr arrives, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) says: “O’ Lord, when will the time of the fulfillment of promises made by You in Quran come?”

            (And that promise is the following verse).

«وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً»[1]

(Allah has promised those who have believed among you and done righteous deeds that He will surely grant them succession [to authority] upon the earth just as He granted it to those before them and that He will surely establish for them [therein] their religion which He has preferred for them and that He will surely substitute for them, after their fear, security, [for] they worship Me, not associating anything with Me. But whoever disbelieves after that - then those are the defiantly disobedient).

Thereafter, the angels and prophets recite the same supplication; then Mohammad, Ali, Hasan and Husain (peace be upon them) go in the state of prostration, and say:

 يا رَبِّ إِغْضَبْ ، فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ هُتِكَ حَريمُكَ ، وَقُتِلَ أَصْفِياؤُكَ ، وَاُذِلَّ عِبادُكَ الصَّالِحُونَ .

            “O’ Lord, be angry, as Your sanctity has been violated, Your chosen ones have been killed, Your nobles servants have been humiliated”

Allah will accept their supplication and the ‘Yaum ul Ma’loom’ is that same day.^[2]
