SUPPLICATION FOR HIM(peace be upon him)AFTER(ASR)AFTERNOON PRAYER

It was stated in "Falaahi Ssa'il" among the important supplication to be observed after (Asr) afternoon prayer by imitating our master Musa ibn Ja'afar Al-Kazim (peace be upon him) in his dedicated supplication to our master Al-Mahdi (peace and blessing of Allah be on his grand father Muhammad and same to him) as it was narrated by Yahya bn Al-Fadl Naufali, he said: I entered to Abu Al-Hasan, Musa bn Ja'afar after (Asr) afternoon prayer in Baghdad, thus I met him raising his hand to the Heaven and I heard him reciting the following:

أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، اَلْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْباطِنُ ، وَأَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، إِلَيْكَ زِيادَةُ الْأَشْياءِ وَنُقْصانُها ، وَأَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، خَلَقْتَ الْخَلْقَ بِغَيْرِ مَعُونَةٍ مِنْ غَيْرِكَ ، وَلا حاجَةٍ إِلَيْهِمْ ، أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، مِنْكَ الْمَشِيَّةُ وَ إِلَيْكَ الْبَدْءُ.

  أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، قَبْلَ الْقَبْلِ وَخالِقُ الْقَبْلِ ، أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، بَعْدَ الْبَعْدِ وَخالِقُ الْبَعْدِ ، أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، تَمْحُو ما تَشاءُ وَتُثْبِتُ وَعِنْدَكَ اُمُّ الْكِتابِ .

  أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، غايَةُ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ وَوارِثُهُ ، أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، لايَعْزُبُ عَنْكَ الدَّقيقُ وَلَا الْجَليلُ ، أَنْتَ اللَّهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ ، لايَخْفى عَلَيْكَ اللُّغاتُ ، وَلاتَتَشابَهُ عَلَيْكَ الْأَصْواتُ .

  كُلَّ يَوْمٍ أَنْتَ في شَأْنٍ ، لايَشْغَلُكَ شَأْنٌ عَنْ شَأْنٍ ، عالِمُ الْغَيْبِ وَأَخْفى ، دَيَّانُ الدّينِ ، مُدَبِّرُ الْاُمُورِ ، باعِثُ مَنْ فِي الْقُبُورِ ، مُحْيِ الْعِظامِ وَهِيَ رَميمٌ .

  أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ ، اَلْحَيِّ الْقَيُّومِ ، اَلَّذي لايَخيبُ مَنْ سَأَلَكَ بِهِ ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ، وَأَنْ تُعَجِّلَ فَرَجَ الْمُنْتَقِمِ لَكَ مِنْ أَعْدائِكَ ، وَأَنْجِزْ لَهُ ما وَعَدْتَهُ ، يا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالْإِكْرامِ .

You are God, there is no any other deity except You, the first and the last, the apparent, the Inward, You are God, there is no any other deity except You, unto You the increase and decrease of all things, You are God, there is no any other deity except You, You create the creations without helping hand from other than You and You are not in need of them; You are God, there is no any other deity except You, all wishes from You and unto You all the initiation.

You are God there is no any other deity except You, before the previous and the creator of the previous, You are God there is no any deity except You, after afterward  the creator of afterward, You are God there is no any deity except You, You erase and establish what ever You wishes and with You the essence  of the Book, You are God there is no any other deity except You, the Goal and the Inheritor of every thing, You are God there is no any other deity except You, both small and mighty are not far away from You, You are God there is no any other deity except You, there is no any language hidden to You and voices are not similar to You. Every day You are at Your duty and a duty did not disturb You from another, the Knower of all hidden and concealed things, the owner of Religion, the director of all things, He who raises those in the graves, He who gave life to bone after they have became decayed.

I requested from You by Your sheltered Name, the Eternal the Everlasting, who did not disappoint who ever call Him by His name, to send blessing on Muhammad and his family and hasten the reappearance of Your retaliator from Your enemies and execute for him all You have promised him, O' the possessor of Magnificence and Honour.

I said to him, whom did you prayed for? He said: to Al-Mahdi of the Prophet's household (peace be on them).

He continue saying: may my father be sacrifice for him, he is having big stomach, his eyebrow are very close, his legs are very energetic, his shoulder is wide, brown in colour and close to be yellowish, may my father be sacrifice for him, his night shall guard the stars by his bowing down and prostration to Allah, may my father be sacrifice for him, he who the blames of those that blame shall not affect before Allah, he is the luminous lamp, may my father be sacrifice for him, he shall rise with the command of Allah.

I said to him, when will he come out? He said: when you saw armies from the city of Anbar in Iraq at the beach of Furat, sirah and Dajlah, and the arch of Kufah is destroy, and burning of some houses in Kufah, when you see all this, verily Allah will act according to His wish, no one can subdue the commandment of Allah and no one can delay His judgment.[1]
