   أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ ، اَلْأَعَزِّ الأَجَلِّ الْأَكْرَمِ ، اَلَّذي إِذا دُعيتَ بِهِ عَلى مَغالِقِ أَبْوابِ السَّماءِ لِلْفَتْحِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ انْفَتَحَتْ ، وَ إِذا دُعيتَ بِهِ عَلى مَضائِقِ أَبْوابِ الْأَرْضِ لِلْفَرَجِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ انْفَرَجَتْ ، وَ إِذَا دُعيتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْعُسْرِ لِلْيُسْرِ تَيَسَّرَت[1]  ، وَ إِذا دُعيتَ بِهِ عَلَى الْأَمْواتِ لِلنُّشُورِ انْتَشَرَتْ ، وَ إِذا دُعيتَ بِهِ عَلى كَشْفِ الْبَأْساءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ انْكَشَفَتْ .

    وَبِجَلالِ نُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْكَريمِ أَكْرَمِ الْوُجُوهِ ، وَأَعَزِّ الْوُجُوهِ ، اَلَّذي عَنَتْ لَهُ الْوُجُوهُ ، وَخَضَعَتْ لَهُ الرِّقابُ ، وَخَشَعَتْ لَهُ الْأَصْواتُ ، وَوَجِلَتْ لَهُ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ مَخافَتِكَ ، وَبِقُوَّتِكَ الَّتي بِها تُمْسِكُ السَّماءَ أَنْ تَقَعَ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ إِلّا بِإِذْنِكَ وَتُمْسِكُ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ أَنْ تَزُولا .

    وَبِمَشيَّتِكَ الَّتي دانَ لَهَا الْعالَمُونَ، وَبِكَلِمَتِكَ الَّتي خَلَقْتَ بِهَا السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضَ ، وَبِحِكْمَتِكَ الَّتي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجائِبَ ، وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا الظُّلْمَةَ وَجَعَلْتَها لَيْلاً ، وَجَعَلْتَ اللَّيْلَ سَكَناً ، وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا النُّورَ وَجَعَلْتَهُ نَهاراً ، وَجَعَلْتَ النَّهارَ نُشُوراً مُبْصِراً ، وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا الشَّمْسَ وَجَعَلْتَ الشَّمْسَ ضِياءً ، وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْقَمَرَ وَجَعَلْتَ الْقَمَرَ نُوراً ، وَخَلَقْتَ بِهَا الْكَواكِبَ وَجَعَلْتَها نُجُوماً وَبُرُوجاً ، وَمَصابيحَ وَزينَةً وَرُجُوماً لِلشَّياطينِ .

    وَجَعَلْتَ لَها مَشارِقَ وَمَغارِبَ ، وَجَعَلْتَ لَها مَطالِعَ وَمَجارِيَ ، وَجَعَلْتَ لَها فَلَكاً وَمَسابِحَ ، وَقَدَّرْتَها فِي السَّماءِ مَنازِلَ فَأَحْسَنْتَ تَقْديرَها ، وَصَوَّرْتَها فَأَحْسَنْتَ تَصْويرَها ، وَأَحْصَيْتَها بِأَسْمائِكَ إِحْصاءً ، وَدَبَّرْتَها بِحِكْمَتِكَ تَدْبيراً فَأَحْسَنْتَ تَدْبيرَها ، وَسَخَّرْتَها بِسُلْطانِ اللَّيْلِ وَسُلْطانِ النَّهارِ وَالسَّاعاتِ ، وَعَدَدِ السِّنينَ وَالْحِسابِ ، وَجَعَلْتَ رُؤْيَتَها لِجَميعِ النَّاسِ مَرْأًى واحِداً .

    وَأَسْألُكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي كَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ وَرَسُولَكَ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ فِي الْمُقَدَّسينَ ، فَوْقَ إِحْساسِ الْكَرُّوبِييّنَ ، فَوْقَ غَمائِمِ النُّورِ ، فَوْقَ تابُوتِ الشَّهادَةِ في عَمُودِ النَّارِ ، وَفي طُورِ سَيْناءَ ، وَفي جَبَلِ حُوريثَ فِي الْوادِ الْمُقَدَّسِ ، فِي الْبُقْعَةِ الْمُبارَكَةِ مِنْ جانِبِ الطُّورِ الْأَيْمَنِ مِنَ الشَّجَرَةِ ، وَفي أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِتِسْعِ آياتٍ بَيِّناتٍ .

    وَيَوْمَ فَرَقْتَ لِبَني إِسْرائيلَ الْبَحْرَ ، وَفِي الْمُنْبَجِساتِ الَّتي صَنَعْتَ بِهَا الْعَجائِبَ في بَحْرِ سُوفٍ ، وَعَقَدْتَ ماءَ الْبَحْرِ في قَلْبِ الْغَمْرِ كَالْحِجارَةِ ، وَجَاوَزْتَ بِبَني إِسْرائيلَ الْبَحْرَ ، وَتَمَّتْ كَلِمَتُكَ الْحُسْنى عَلَيْهِمْ بِما صَبَرُوا ، وَأَوْرَثْتَهُمْ مَشارِقَ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبَهَا الَّتي بارَكْتَ فيها لِلْعالَمينَ ، وَأَغْرَقْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَجُنُودَهُ وَمَراكِبَهُ فِي الْيَمِّ .

    وَبِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَعْظَمِ ، اَلْأَعَزِّ الْأَجَلِّ الْأَكْرَمِ ، وَبِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي تَجَلَّيْتَ بِهِ لِمُوسى كَليمِكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ في طُورِ سَيْناءَ ، وَلِإِبْراهيمَ خَليلِكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ مِنْ قَبْلُ في مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ .

    وَلِإِسْحاقَ صَفِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ في بِئْرِ شِيَعٍ ، وَلِيَعْقُوبَ نَبِيِّكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ في بَيْتِ إيلٍ ، وَأَوْفَيْتَ لِإِبْراهيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِميثاقِكَ ، وَلِإِسْحاقَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ بِحَلْفِكَ ، وَلِيَعْقُوبَ بَشَهادَتِكَ ، وَلِلْمُؤْمِنينَ بِوَعْدِكَ ، وَلِلدَّاعينَ بِأَسْمائِكَ فَأَجَبْتَ .

    وَبِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي ظَهَرَ لِمُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرانَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ عَلى قُبَّةِ الرُّمَّانِ وَبِآياتِكَ الَّتي وَقَعَتْ عَلى أَرْضِ مِصْرَ بِمَجْدِ الْعِزَّةِ وَالْغَلَبَةِ ، بِآياتٍ عَزيزَةٍ ، وَبِسُلطانِ الْقُوَّةِ ، وَبِعِزَّةِ الْقُدْرَةِ ، وَبِشَأْنِ الْكَلِمَةِ التَّامَّةِ .

    وَبِكَلِماتِكَ الَّتي تَفَضَّلْتَ بِها عَلى أَهْلِ السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرْضِ ، وَأَهْلِ الدُّنْيا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتي مَنَنْتَ بِها عَلى جَميعِ خَلْقِكَ ، وَبِاسْتِطاعَتِكَ الَّتي أَقَمْتَ بِها عَلَى الْعالَمينَ .

    وَبِنُورِكَ الَّذي قَدْ خَرَّ مِنْ فَزَعِهِ طُورُ سَيْناءَ، وَبِعِلْمِكَ وَجَلالِكَ وَكِبْرِيائِكَ وَعِزَّتِكَ وَجَبَرُوتِكَ الَّتي لَمْ تَسْتَقِلَّهَا الْأَرْضُ، وَانْخَفَضَتْ لَهَا السَّماواتُ، وَانْزَجَرَ لَهَا الْعُمْقُ الْأَكْبَرُ ، وَرَكَدَتْ لَهَا الْبِحارُ وَالْأَنْهارُ ، وَخَضَعَتْ لَهَا الْجِبالُ ، وَسَكَنَتْ لَهَا الْأَرْضُ بِمَناكِبِها ، وَاسْتَسْلَمَتْ لَهَا الْخَلائِقُ كُلُّها ، وَخَفَقَتْ لَهَا الرِّياحُ في جَرَيانِها ، وَخَمَدَتْ لَهَا النّيرانُ في أَوْطانِها .

    وَبِسُلْطانِكَ الَّذي عُرِفَتْ لَكَ بِهِ الْغَلَبَةُ دَهْرَ الدُّهُورِ ، وَحُمِدْتَ بِهِ فِي السَّماواتِ وَالْأَرَضينَ ، وَبِكَلِمَتِكَ كَلِمَةِ الصِّدْقِ الَّتي سَبَقَتْ لِأَبينا آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ بِالرَّحْمَةِ .

    وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِكَلِمَتِكَ الَّتي غَلَبَتْ كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ، وَبِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذي تَجَلَّيْتَ بِهِ لِلْجَبَلِ فَجَعَلْتَهُ دَكّاً وَخَرَّ مُوسى صَعِقاً ، وَبِمَجْدِكَ الَّذي ظَهَرَ عَلى طُورِ سَيْناءَ فَكَلَّمْتَ بِهِ عَبْدَكَ وَرَسُولَكَ مُوسَى بْنَ عِمْرانَ.

    وَبِطَلْعَتِكَ في ساعيرَ ، وَظُهُورِكَ في جَبَلِ فارانَ بِرَبَواتِ الْمُقَدَّسينَ ، وَجُنُودِ الْمَلائِكَةِ الصَّافّينَ ، وَخُشُوعِ الْمَلائِكَةِ الْمُسَبِّحينَ ، وَبِبَرَكاتِكَ الَّتي بارَكْتَ فيها عَلى إِبْراهيمَ خَليلِكَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ في اُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ .

    وَبارَكْتَ لِإِسْحاقَ صَفِيِّكَ في اُمَّةِ عيسى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ ، وَبارَكْتَ لِيَعْقُوبَ إِسْرائيلِكَ في اُمَّةِ مُوسى عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ ، وَبارَكْتَ لِحَبيبِكَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ في عِتْرَتِهِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ وَاُمَّتِهِ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ وَكَما غِبْنا عَنْ ذلِكَ وَلَمْ نَشْهَدْهُ ، وَآمَنَّا بِهِ وَلَمْ نَرَهُ صِدْقاً وَعَدْلاً، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَنْ تُبارِكَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَتَرَحَّمَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَأَفْضَلِ ما صَلَّيْتَ وَبارَكْتَ وَتَرَحَّمْتَ عَلى إِبْراهيمَ وَآلِ إِبْراهيمَ ، إِنَّكَ حَميدٌ مَجيدٌ ، فَعَّالٌ لِما تُريدُ ، وَأَنْتَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ .

Then you say the following:

أَللَّهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هذَا الدُّعاءِ تَفَضَّلْ عَلى فُقَراءِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِالْغِناءِ وَالثَّرْوَةِ ، وَعَلى مَرْضَى الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِالشِّفاءِ وَالصِّحَّةِ، وَعَلى أَحْياءِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِاللُّطْفِ وَالْكَرامَةِ، وَعَلى أَمْواتِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ وَالرَّحْمَةِ ، وَعَلى مُسافِرِى الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ بِالرَّدِّ إِلى أَوْطانِهِمْ سالِمينَ غانِمينَ ، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ خاتَمِ النَّبِيّينَ وَعِتْرَتِهِ الطَّاهِرينَ، وَسَلَّمَ تَسْليماً كَثيراً.

The following supplication was mentioned in JamaalilSsaliheen:

أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحُرْمَةِ هذَا الدُّعاءِ ، وَبِما فاتَ مِنْهُ مِنَ الْأَسْماءِ ، وَبِما يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ التَّفْسيرِ وَالتَّدْبيرِ الَّذي لايُحيطُ بِهِ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَنْ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَهُمْ في عافِيَةٍ ، وَتُهْلِكَ أَعْدائَهُمْ فِي الدُّنْيا وَالْآخِرَةِ ، وَأَنْ تَرْزُقَنا بِهِمْ خَيْرَ ما نَرْجُو ، وَخَيْرَ ما لانَرْجُو ، وَتَصْرِفَ بِهِمْ عَنَّا شَرَّ ما نَحْذَرُ، وَشَرَّ ما لانَحْذَرُ، إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ، وَأَنْتَ أَكْرَمُ الْأَكْرَمينَ.

O' Allah! I requested from You by the sanctity of this supplication and Your missing holy names in it and what it encompasses among the explanation and the measures that no one can encompasses except You, to send blessing on Muhammad and on the holy  family of Muhammad and hastentheir relief in good health and destroy their enemies in this world and in the world Hereafter.

Make provision for us through them the best of our aspiration and the best of what we did not aspired, and divert from us through them the scared and the unscarred evils, verily You possess power over all thing and You are the Most Noble of the noble ones.^[5]

The honourable scholar, Sayyid bin Taoos (R.A.) says: between the commentaries written regarding the words of this supplication, I found that the ‘Mt. Horaith’ or ‘Horaitha’ is the same mountain upon which the Almighty Allah spoke to Prophet Musa (A.S.) and addressed him, and the casket of Prophet Yusuf (A.S.) was also shifted from one of the low lying sections of this mountain and was placed in the Mt. Sinai.

            The ‘Soof’ sea is called ‘Yawmsoof’ in Hebrew language and it means a deep sea. And ‘Sa’eer’- which is also known as the Mt. Sarraa- is the mountain whereupon Prophet Isa (A.S.) used to supplicate.

            And Mt. ‘Faran’ is that same mountain upon which Prophet Mohammad (P.B.U.H.) used to supplicate with the Almighty, and is situated near Mecca.^[6]

            Mohammad bin Ali Rashidi says: I haven’t recited this supplication in any of my afflictions and sorrows but it has been quickly accepted. Whoever recites this supplication for a goal he aims or a motive he intends, or recites it before leaving towards an enemy from whom he fears, or a powerful person from whom he is frightened, his demand will be met and he will not fear anyone anymore. In fact, if he cannot recite it, he should write it and keep it with him.

            Allama Sheikh Mohammad Baqir Beerjundi (R.A.) writes in his book ‘Fakihatuz Zakireen’ that: this supplication is exception in terms of acceptance of desire and accomplishment of demand.

            Late Sayyid Mohammad Khamenei Tabrizi, writes in one of his books that: the recitation of the supplication of Samaa’at is successfully tested in the last hours of Friday for the accomplishment of demands, especially for dispersing an enemy; and this point is applicable certainly specially if the recitation is continued for forty Fridays.^[7]
