PRAYER OF IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) ON THE EVE OF FRIDAY

Sayyid bn Taa'us (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I saw in "Kanuzu nnajaah" written by Jurist Abu Ali Al-Fadl bn Al-Hasan Tabrasi (may Allah have mercy on him). From Imam Al-Hujja (peace be upon him), Ahmad bn Darbi reported from Khazamah, on the authority of Abu Abdullah, Al-Husein bn Muhammad Al-Bazufari, he said: It came from Imam that whoever has a demand from Allah should take a bath on Friday night after midnight and observe two units (Raka'at) of prayer in his normal place of prayer, he recite in every unit Surah Alhamd till he reach«إِيَّاكَ نَعْبُدُ وَإِيَّاكَ نَسْتَعينُ» he repeat it for (100) one hundred times, he then concludes the remaining part of the Surah including one Surah Al-Ikhlas, he then bow down and prostrate and read the glorification for (7)seven time, the second unit (Raka'at) is as same as the first one. On conclusion, he recites the following supplication, verily Allah will grant his request except break of relations.

The supplication is as follows:

أَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ أَطَعْتُكَ فَالْمَحْمَدَةُ لَكَ ، وَ إِنْ عَصَيْتُكَ فَالْحُجَّةُ لَكَ ، مِنْكَ الرَّوْحُ وَمِنْكَ الْفَرَجُ ، سُبْحانَ مَنْ أَنْعَمَ وَشَكَرَ ، سُبْحانَ مَنْ قَدَرَ وغَفَرَ.

 أَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ ، فَإِنّي قَدْ أَطَعْتُكَ في أَحَبِّ الْأَشْياءِ إِلَيْكَ وَهُوَ الْإيمانُ بِكَ ، لَمْ أَتَّخِذْ لَكَ وَلَداً ، وَلَمْ أَدْعُ لَكَ شَريكاً ، مَنّاً مِنْكَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ لا مَنّاً مِنّي بِهِ عَلَيْكَ ، وَقَدْ عَصَيْتُكَ يا إِلهي عَلى غَيْرِ وَجْهِ الْمُكابَرَةِ ، وَلَا الْخُرُوجِ عَنْ عُبُودِيَّتِكَ ، وَلَا الْجُحُودِ لِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ ، وَلكِنْ أَطَعْتُ هَوايَ ، وَأَزَلَّنِي الشَّيْطانُ.

 فَلَكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيَّ وَالْبَيانُ ، فَإِنْ تُعَذِّبْني فَبِذُنُوبي غَيْرَ ظالِمٍ ، وَ إِنْ تَغْفِرْ لي وَتَرْحَمْني ، فَإِنَّكَ جَوادٌ كَريمٌ ، يا كَريمُ يا كَريمُ 

(recite it till your last breath, then say:)

يا آمِناً مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ، وَكُلُّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْكَ خائِفٌ حَذِرٌ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَمْنِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ ، وَخَوْفِ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ مِنْكَ ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَنْ تُعْطِيَني أَماناً لِنَفْسي وَأَهْلي وَوَلَدي ، وَسائِرِ ما أَنْعَمْتَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ ، حَتَّى لا أَخافَ أَحَداً ، وَلا أَحْذَرَ مِنْ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَبَداً ، إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَديرٌ ، وَحَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكيلُ .

 يا كافِيَ إِبْراهيمَ نُمْرُودَ ، يا كافِيَ مُوسى فِرْعَوْنَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَأَنْ تَكْفِيَني شَرَّ فُلانِ بْنِ فُلانٍ .

O' Allah, if I obey You, You worth commendation, and if I offended You, You have proof against me, all ease and relief are from You, Glory be to He who bestowed and was gratified, Glory be to He who possess the power but forgives.

O' Allah, even though I have offended You, but I have obeyed You among the thing You love most which is believing in You, I have not ascribe offspring to You and I have not ascribe partner to You. Youhavebestowed on me and I have not bestowed anything upon You, O' my God verily I have offended You but not as a result of stubbornness nor to depart from your service and not denial of Your Divinity but I have obeyed my desire and Satan has stumble on me,You possess the proof against me, You did not oppressed me if You punish me due to my sin, but if You forgives and have mercy on me, verily You are Openhanded and Generous. O' the Generous,

O' the Generous  (recite it till your last breath, then say)

O' He who is secured from everything, O' He who everything are afraid and caution of, I requested You of Your security from everything and the fear of everything of You, to send Your blessing on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, and to grant security for me, my family, offspring and other privileges You have bestowed on me till I was not frighten by anyone and will not caution of anything forever, verily You have the power over all thing. Allah Suffice us an excellent trustee. O' He who suffices Ibrahim against Namrud, O' He who suffices Musa against Fir'aun, I requested from You to bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad and to suffice me from the evils of so and so person son of so and so person.

(You will be sufficed from the evil of whoever you are frightened of by the grace of God).

Then you prostrate in honour to Allah and tender your request, there is no any believing men or women that has observe this prayer and supplication with sincerity except the doors of Heaven opens for him for the acceptance of his prayer at that very particular time, base on the favour of Almighty Allah on us.[1]
