IMAM'S PRAYER (THE PROOF OF ALLAH)

(may our souls be sacrifice for him)

Sayyid bn Taa'us (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Imam has two units (Rak'at) of prayer, in every unit he recites Suratul Fatihah  till

ایاک نعبد و ایاک نستعین

 Thee do we serve and thee do we beseech for help” he would repeat the verse for (100) one hundred times, after that he completes the Surah and recites Suratul Ikhlas after it. After the prayer he would recite the following supplication:  

 أَللَّهُمَّ عَظُمَ الْبَلاءُ ، وَبَرِحَ الْخِفاءُ ، وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطاءُ ، وَضاقَتِ الْأَرْضُ بِما وَسِعَتِ السَّماءُ ، وَ إِلَيْكَ يا رَبِّ الْمُشْتَكى ، وَعَلَيْكَ الْمُعَوَّلُ فِي الشِّدَّةِ وَالرَّخاءِ . أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، اَلَّذينَ أَمَرْتَنا بِطاعَتِهِمْ .

 وَعَجِّلِ اللَّهُمَّ فَرَجَهُمْ بِقائِمِهِمْ ، وَأَظْهِرْ إِعْزازَهُ ، يا مُحَمَّدُ يا عَلِيُّ ، يا عَلِىُّ يا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِكْفِياني فَإِنَّكُما كافِيايَ ، يا مُحَمَّدُ يا عَلِيُّ ، يا عَلِيُّ يا مُحَمَّدُ ، اُنْصُراني فَإِنَّكُما ناصِرايَ ، يا مُحَمَّدُ يا عَلِيُّ ، يا عَلِيُّ يا مُحَمَّدُ ، إِحْفَظاني فَإِنَّكُما حافِظايَ ، يا مَوْلايَ يا صاحِبَ الزَّمانِ ، يا مَوْلايَ يا صاحِبَ الزَّمانِ ، يا مَوْلايَ يا صاحِبَ الزَّمانِ ، اَلْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ ، أَدْرِكْني أَدْرِكْني أَدْرِكْني ، اَلْأَمانَ الْأَمانَ الْأَمانَ .

O' Allah the affliction is much, concealment has departed, the wrapper is uncovered, the Earth has become narrow while the Heaven become widen, O' God unto You I laid complain, when in difficulties or comfort unto You I return, O' Allah send blessing on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad, those whom You have commanded me to obey.
O' Allah, hasten the coming of the riser among them and manifest his honour, O' Muhammad!
O' Ali! O' Ali! O' Muhammad! Suffice me, both of you are enough, O' Muhammad! O' Ali! O' Ali! O' Muhammad! Assist me (both) you (both) are enough as a helper, O' Muhammad! O' Ali! O' Ali! O' Muhammad! Protect me (both) because you (both) are enough as a protector, O' my master the leader of the time (three times), the reliever, the reliever, the reliever, attain me, attain me, and attain me, protection, protection, protection.ّ[1]
