THE SUPPLICATION OF (GAREEQ) A SUNK PERSON

     Sayyid Ali bn Taaus in Mahju Dda'waah said while narrating from Abdullah bn Sannan; Abu Abdullah (peace be on him) said: you shall be afflicted by suspicion, where you shall remain without a banner and no guided leader, and no one shall be rescued except those that recite the supplication of (Gareeq) sunk person. I said: how is the supplication of Gareeq? He said: say the following

 يا اَللَّهُ يا رَحْمانُ يا رَحيمُ، يا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبي عَلى دينِكَ.

"O' Allah! O' the Beneficent, O' the Merciful, O' He who changes minds, make my mind firm in Your Religion".

I said:

يا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَالْأَبْصارِ ، ثَبِّتْ قَلْبي عَلى دينِكَ .

O' He who changes hearts and sights make firm my mind in Your Religion,

He said: surely Allah changes hearts and sights but say as I have said to you:

يا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبي عَلى دينِكَ

O' He who changes heart, make my mind firm in Your Religion.

I said: may be the meaning of his saying (the sight) is because changing of mind and sight shall be on the Day of Judgment, due to the intensiveness of its terror, and in occultation the only fair is changing of mind and not the sight.^[1]
