PRAYER FOR SEEKING HELP FROM IMAM MAHDI (A.S.)

ON THURSDAY AND FRIDAY NIGHTS

It has arrived in the book ‘Tohfatur Razawiya’ that: the great scholar, Syed Husain Hamadi Najafi, said to me:

            “Whoever has a demand, should offer two units of prayer barefooted and bareheaded beneath the sky on the nights of Thurdsday and Friday, after offering the prayer, he should raise his hand towards the sky and say: يا حُجَّةُ الْقائِم “Ya Hujjatul Qaa’em” 595 times.

            Then prostrate for Sajda and say: 

يا صاحِبَ الزَّمانِ أَغِثْني‏

“Ya Sahibaz Zamaan Aghithni” (O’ Master of Time help me) seventy times in Sajda, then his request will be fulfilled. 

            This prayer has been tested regarding the accomplishment of important demands, and if a person’s demand is not fulfilled in the first week, he should offer it again in the second week, and if it is not fulfilled in the second week as well, he should again offer this prayer in the third week as it will be certainly fulfilled thereupon.

            Syed Mohammad Ali Jawaheri Haeri said to me: I offered this prayer for the fulfillment of a demand and in the same night, I witnessed Imam Mahdi (A.S.) in the state of dream, I expressed my demand before him and Allah (s.w.t.) accomplished it due to the grace of his holiness (a.s.).

            He has also said that: “I have experienced this prayer for myself as well”.[1]
