SUPPLICATION FOR THE REAPPEARANCE OF IMAM MAHDI (A.S.) ON ZUHR OF ASHURA
Abdullah bin Sinaan says: “On the day of Ashura, I went to visit
my Master, Imam Sadiq (A.S.), and found his holiness in an extremely sorrowful condition. And I saw that teardrops were trickling from his holy eyes like pearls.
I said: O’ Prophet’s son, why are you weeping? May Allah never make your eyes weep!
His holiness said: “Are you ignorant? Don’t you know that Husain bin Ali (peace be upon him) was martyred on this day?
I said: “O’ my Master, what do you have to say about this day?
His holiness replied: Abstain from eating and drinking without the intention of fasting; then break your fast without having delicious meal. Do not keep fast for the entire day, but break it moments after the Asr prayer with some water. Indeed, on such a moment did the movements of the enemies halted and their battle and severe bloodshed of the Prophet’s household came to an end, and thirty of their martyrs fell on the ground along with the purified bodies of their friends and companions covered with dust and blood. This affliction is immensely great and difficult for the holy Prophet (peace be upon him). If his holiness would be alive today, he would mourn for them himself.
Abdullah says: His holiness wept in such a way that his holy beard became wet due to his tears. Then he said:
“Allah (S.W.T.) destined the creation of light on the day of Friday – the first day of the Holy month of Ramadan. And destined darkness on Wednesday, tenth of Muharram (the day of Ashura). And made ways and methods for every single day.
O’ Abdullah, the best of actions you can perform on this day is to wear clean clothes and do ‘Tasallub’.
I asked: What is ‘Tasallub’?
His holiness replied: Keep your collar open and fold your sleeves like a mourner, then go to a barren desert or a place where no one can see you, or chose an empty house for you, or travel towards another place of solitude while the sun rises; then offer four units of prayer with proper Rukoo’ and Sujood, and recite Salaam between every two unit. In the first unit, recite ‘Qul ya Ayyuhal Kafiroon’ after Suratul ‘Hamd’, and in the second unit, Suratul ‘Hamd’ and ‘Qul huwallaho Ahad’.
Then offer another two units prayer wherein recite Suratul Hamd and ‘Ahzab’ in the first unit and Suratul ‘Hamd’ and ‘Munafiqoon’ in the second. Or chose another chapters which you can recite. Then complete your prayer and face towards the grave of Imam Husain (A.S.), and bring the place of his martyrdom within you sight, then send blessing and Salawaat on his holiness and all the honourable men (his sons and household) who were martyrd along with him. Then curse his enemies and express disgust and estrangement towards their actions; with this deed, Allah will raise your grades in heaven and drop your sins. Then take a few steps ahead from whichever desert or lonely place you are, and say:
إِنَّا للَّهِِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ راجِعُونَ ، رِضاً بِقَضاءِ اللَّهِ وَتَسْليماً لِأَمْرِهِ .
“Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return, content with Allah’s will and surrendering before his order”.
In that condition, grief and sorrow should be evident on your face, and remember Allah as much as you can; recite the verse of ‘Isterjaa’ (Inna lillah…). After performing these deeds and walking this distance, return to the place where you had offered the prayer in the beginning. And recite in the following way:
أَللَّهُمَّ عَذِّبِ الْفَجَرَةَ ، اَلَّذينَ شاقُّوا رَسُولَكَ ، وَحارَبُوا أَوْلِيائَكَ ، وَعَبَدُوا غَيْرَكَ ، وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحارِمَكَ ، وَالْعَنِ الْقادَةَ وَالْأَتْباعَ ، وَمَنْ كانَ مِنْهُمْ ، فَخَبَّ وَأَوْضَعَ مَعَهُمْ ، أَوْ رَضِيَ بِفِعْلِهِمْ لَعْناً كَثيراً .
أَللَّهُمَّ وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَاجْعَلْ صَلَواتِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ ، وَاسْتَنْقِذْهُمْ مِنْ أَيْدِي الْمُنافِقينَ الْمُضِلّينَ ، وَالْكَفَرَةِ الْجاحِدينَ ، وَافْتَحْ لَهُمْ فَتْحاً يَسيراً ، وَأَتِحْ لَهُمْ رَوْحاً وَفَرَجاً قَريباً ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ عَلى عَدُوِّكَ وَعَدُوِّهِمْ سُلْطاناً نَصيراً .
O’ Allah, send your punishment upon the sinners and destroyers, the ones who envied Your Prophet and fought against Your friends, and worshipped other than You, and reckoned the acts forbidden by You as Halal. (O’ Allah) curse their leaders and followers, and all those accompanied them and were deceived, then were disgraced along with them, or were content with their behaviour, curse them immensely. O’ Allah, hasten in the relief of Mohammad’s Progeny (peace be upon them), and send Your peace upon him and them, and deliver them from the hands of the misguided hypocrites, and from the evil of the infidels and the deniers. And destine them with an easy relief, and bless them with a nearing relief and relaxation, and bestow upon them from You through them a powerful dominance and governance over Your enemies and their foes.
Then raise your hands and express humility by reciting this prayer; and while indicating towards the enemies of the Prophet’s holy Progeny (peace be upon them), supplicate in the following manner:
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ كَثيراً مِنَ الْاُمَّةِ ناصَبَتِ الْمُسْتَحْفَظينَ مِنَ الْأَئِمَّةِ ، وَكَفَرَتْ بِالْكَلِمَةِ ، وَعَكَفَتْ عَلَى الْقادَةِ الظَّلَمَةِ ، وَهَجَرَتِ الْكِتابَ وَالسُّنَّةَ ، وَعَدَلَتْ عَنِ الْحَبْلَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَمَرْتَ بِطاعَتِهِما ، وَالتَّمَسُّكِ بِهِما .
فَأَماتَتِ الْحَقَّ ، وَجارَتْ عَنِ الْقَصْدِ ، وَمالَأَتِ الْأَحْزابَ ، وَحَرَّفَتِ الْكِتابَ ، وَكَفَرَتْ بِالْحَقِّ لَمَّا جائَها ، وَتَمَسَّكَتْ بِالْباطِلِ لَمَّا اعْتَرَضَها ، وَضَيَّعَتْ حَقَّكَ ، وَأَضَلَّتْ خَلْقَكَ ، وَقَتَلَتْ أَوْلادَ نَبِيِّكَ ، وَخِيَرَةَ عِبادِكَ ، وَحَمَلَةَ عِلْمِكَ ، وَوَرَثَةَ حِكْمَتِكَ وَوَحْيِكَ .
أَللَّهُمَّ فَزَلْزِلْ أَقْدامَ أَعْدائِكَ وَأَعْداءِ رَسُولِكَ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِكَ . أَللَّهُمَّ وَأَخْرِبْ دِيارَهُمْ ، وَافْلُلْ سِلاحَهُمْ ، وَخالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمْ ، وَفُتَّ في أَعْضادِهِمْ وَأَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُمْ ، وَاضْرِبْهُمْ بِسَيْفِكَ الْقاطِعِ ، وَارْمِهِمْ بَحَجَرِكَ الدَّامِغِ ، وَطُمَّهُمْ بِالْبَلاءِ طَمّاً ، وَقُمَّهُمْ بِالْعَذابِ قَمّاً ، وَعَذِّبْهُمْ عَذاباً نُكْراً ، وَخُذْهُمْ بِالسِّنينَ وَالْمَثُلاتِ الَّتي أَهْلَكْتَ بِها أَعْدائَكَ ، إِنَّكَ ذُو نَقِمَةٍ مِنَ الْمُجْرِمينَ .
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ سُنَّتَكَ ضائِعَةٌ ، وَأَحْكامَكَ مُعَطَّلَةٌ ، وَعِتْرَةَ نَبِيِّكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ هائِمَةٌ . أَللَّهُمَّ فَأَعِنِ الْحَقَّ وَأَهْلَهُ ، وَاقْمَعِ الْباطِلَ وَأَهْلَهُ ، وَمُنَّ عَلَيْنا بِالنَّجاةِ ، وَاهْدِنا إِلَى الْإيمانِ ، وَعَجِّلْ فَرَجَنا ، وَانْظِمْهُ بِفَرَجِ أَوْلِيائِكَ ، وَاجْعَلْهُمْ لَنا وُدّاً ، وَاجْعَلْنا لَهُمْ وَفْداً .
أَللَّهُمَّ وَأَهْلِكْ مَنْ جَعَلَ يَوْمَ قَتْلِ ابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ وَخِيَرَتِكَ عيداً ، وَاسْتَهَلَّ بِهِ فَرَحاً وَمَرَحاً ، وَخُذْ آخِرَهُمْ كَما أَخَذْتَ أَوَّلَهُمْ ، وَأَضْعِفِ اللَّهُمَّ الْعَذابَ وَالتَّنْكيلَ عَلى ظالِمي أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ ، وَأَهْلِكْ أَشْياعَهُمْ وَقادَتَهُمْ ، وَأَبِرْ حُماتَهُمْ وَجَماعَتَهُمْ .
أَللَّهُمَّ وَضاعِفْ صَلَواتِكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ وَبَرَكاتِكَ عَلى عِتْرَةِ نَبِيِّكَ ، اَلْعِتْرَةِ الضَّائِعَةِ الْخائِفَةِ الْمُسْتَذَلَّةِ ، بَقِيَّةِ الشَّجَرَةِ الطَّيِّبَةِ الزَّاكِيَةِ الْمُبارَكَةِ . وَأَعْلِ اللَّهُمَّ كَلِمَتَهُمْ ، وَأَفْلِجْ حُجَّتَهُمْ ، وَاكْشِفِ الْبَلاءَ وَاللَّأْواءَ ، وَحَنادِسَ الْأَباطيلِ وَالْعَمى عَنْهُمْ ، وَثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَ شيعَتِهِمْ وَحِزْبِكَ عَلى طاعَتِهِمْ وَوِلايَتِهِمْ وَنُصْرَتِهِمْ وَمُوالاتِهِمْ ، وَأَعِنْهُمْ وَامْنَحْهُمُ الصَّبْرَ عَلَى الْأَذى فيكَ ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُمْ أَيَّاماً مَشْهُودَةً ، وَأَوْقاتاً مَحْمُودَةً مَسْعُودَةً ، يُوشِكُ فيها فَرَجُهُمْ ، وَتُوجِبُ فيها تَمْكينَهُمْ وَنَصْرَهُمْ ، كَما ضَمِنْتَ لِأَوْلِيائِكَ في كِتابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ . فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ «وَعَدَ اللَّهُ الَّذينَ آمَنُوا مِنْكُمْ وَعَمِلُوا الصَّالِحاتِ لَيَسْتَخْلِفَنَّهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ كَمَا اسْتَخْلَفَ الَّذينَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْ وَلَيُمَكِّنَنَّ لَهُمْ دينَهُمُ الَّذِي ارْتَضى لَهُمْ وَلَيُبَدِّلَنَّهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِمْ أَمْناً يَعْبُدُونَني لايُشْرِكُونَ بي شَيْئاً» .
أَللَّهُمَّ فَاكْشِفْ غُمَّتَهُمْ ، يا مَنْ لايَمْلِكُ كَشْفَ الضُّرِّ إِلّا هُوَ ، يا أَحَدُ يا حَيُّ يا قَيُّومُ ، وَأَنَا يا إِلهي عَبْدُكَ الْخائِفُ مِنْكَ ، وَالرَّاجِعُ إِلَيْكَ ، اَلسَّائِلُ لَكَ ، اَلْمُقْبِلُ عَلَيْكَ ، اَللّاجِئُ إِلى فِنائِكَ ، اَلْعالِمُ بِأَنَّهُ لا مَلْجَأَ مِنْكَ إِلّا إِلَيْكَ . أَللَّهُمَّ فَتَقَبَّلْ دُعائي ، وَاسْمَعْ يا إِلهي عَلانِيَتي وَنَجْوايَ ، وَاجْعَلْني مِمَّنْ رَضيتَ عَمَلَهُ، وَقَبِلْتَ نُسُكَهُ، وَنَجَّيْتَهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ، إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْعَزيزُ الْكَريمُ.
أَللَّهُمَّ وَصَلِّ أَوَّلاً وَآخِراً عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَبارِكْ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَارْحَمْ مُحَمَّداً وَآلَ مُحَمَّدٍ ، بِأَكْمَلِ وَأَفْضَلِ ما صَلَّيْتَ وَبارَكْتَ وَتَرَحَّمْتَ عَلى أَنْبِيائِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ ، وَمَلائِكَتِكَ وَحَمَلَةِ عَرْشِكَ بِلا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ.
أَللَّهُمَّ وَلاتُفَرِّقْ بَيْني وَبَيْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَيْهِمْ ، وَاجْعَلْني يا مَوْلايَ مِنْ شيعَةِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلِيٍّ وَفاطِمَةَ وَالْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ وَذُرِّيَّتِهِمُ الطَّاهِرَةِ الْمُنْتَجَبَةِ ، وَهَبْ لِيَ التَّمَسُّكَ بِحَبْلِهِمْ ، وَالرِّضا بِسَبيلِهِمْ ، وَالْأَخْذَ بِطَريقَتِهِمْ ، إِنَّكَ جَوادٌ كَريمٌ .
O’ Allah, a large group of men from Your nation has envied the Imams who are the Protectors of religion and Sharia; and disbelieved the Kalma (word of truth), they turned towards the transgressing leaders, distanced themselves from the Book of Allah and His Prophet’s tradition, and turned their faces away from the two strong ropes (i.e. Qur’an and the Prophet’s Holy Progeny) whose obedience was commanded. As a result, they put the truth to death, and deviated from the moderate path; the supported the parties; they made alteration in Your book, and disbelieved the truth and reality presented before them; and attached themselves to the evil when presented to them, and wasted Your rights, misguided Your slaves, and assassinated the Prophet’s sons, the best of all slaves, the bearers of Your knowledge and inheritors of revelation and wisdom. O’ Allah, tremble the foots of Your enemies and the enemies of Your Prophet and his Holy Progeny (peace be upon them); O’ Allah, ruin their lands and make their weapons inefficient, break their unity and create rift and conflict between their supporters, weaken their schemes and plots, and indulge them with Your sharp sword, and stone them with Your destroying stone, and drown them in extreme calamities, and overcome them with enveloping punishment. Make Your unbearable and dreadful punishment as their share, let them suffer with famines and calamities just as You have destroyed Your enemies previously. Indeed You will take severe revenge from the criminals. O’ Allah, Your tradition and path has been destroyed, Your life-giving rules have been abandoned, and the household of Your Prophet (peace be upon them) is forced to wander on earth. O’ Allah, help the truth and its followers, destroy the false and its followers, and shower Your grace upon us by delivering us from them, and guide us towards the path of Faith; hasten in our relief, and systemise it with the relief of Your friends, make them our friends and make us their messengers. O’ Allah, destroy anyone who celebrates the day of the martyrdom of Prophet’s son as Eid, and has expressed happiness and joy on that day, and hold their last accountable just like their first, and double the punishment and torment on those who oppressed Your Prophet’s household, and destroy their followers and leaders, and make their entire population extinct. And O’ Allah, double Your Peace, Mercy and blessings upon the Prophet’s household, the Progeny whose right was wasted and who remained frightened of their enemy’s evil, who were disgraced before the masses, the remnants of the good purified and blessed tree (Ash-Shajaratit Tayyiba). And O’ Allah, raise their word, dominate their proof, keep the calamities and sufferings and the evil’s darkness and injustice and blindness away from them, then strengthen and establish the hearts of their devotees and Your army on their obedience, friendship, support and love; support them and bestow them with forbearance and endurance against the difficulties they face in Your path; and allot historical days and good times for them so that their relief and peaceful time shall be extremely near, and it results in their achievement of power and arrival of their victory, as You have Yourself guaranteed this truth in Your book, and indeed You said and Your words are absolute truth, that: {Allah has promised, to those among you who believe and work righteous deeds, that He will, of a surety, grant them in the land, inheritance (of power), as He granted it to those before them; that He will establish in authority their religion - the one which He has chosen for them; and that He will change (their state), after the fear in which they (lived), to one of security and peace: 'They will worship Me (alone) and not associate aught with Me}[1]. O’ Allah, end their sorrows and miseries, O’ He save whom none can diminish the sorrows and helplessness, O’ He who is One, O’ Ever-living, O’ Sustainer of existence, and I am, O’ my Lord, Your slave who fears You, and returns to You, and demands from You, who faces You, and seek shelter in Your peaceful threshold, and I know that there is not shelter from Your fear but Your own self; O’ Allah, accept my supplication, and hear O’ Allah my apparent discourse and my hidden secret, and regard me one of those from whose character You are pleased, and whose deeds You accept, and whom You have delivered (from life’s sufferings) with Your grace, indeed You are the Undefeatable and the Beneficent. O’ Allah, in the beginning and at the end, bless Mohammad and his household (peace be upon them), and bestow abundance on Mohammad and his household, and have mercy upon Mohammad and his household, with the more complete greetings and better than the blessings, grace and mercy, send by you upon Your Prophets and Messengers, and upon the angels and bearers of Your throne, for the sake of the sanctity of this reality that there is no God but You. And make me, O’ my Master, a Shia of Mohammad and Ali and Fatima and Al-Hasan and Al-Husain and their purified and chosen Progeny (peace be upon them), and grant us the attachment with their rope, and satisfaction with their path, so that I follow their way; indeed You are the most Generous and Beneficent.
Then rub your face on the ground and say:
يا مَنْ يَحْكُمُ ما يَشاءُ وَيَفْعَلُ ما يُريدُ أَنْتَ حَكَمْتَ ، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَحْمُوداً مَشْكُوراً ، فَعَجِّلْ يا مَوْلايَ فَرَجَهُمْ ، وَفَرَجَنا بِهِمْ ، فَإِنَّكَ ضَمِنْتَ إِعْزازَهُمْ بَعْدَ الذِّلَّةِ ، وَتَكْثيرَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْقِلَّةِ ، وَ إِظْهارَهُمْ بَعْدَ الْخُمُولِ ، يا أَصْدَقَ الصَّادِقينَ ، وَيا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .
فَأَسْئَلُكَ يا إِلهي وَسَيِّدي ، مُتَضَرِّعاً إِلَيْكَ بِجُودِكَ وَكَرَمِكَ ، بَسْطَ أَمَلي وَالتَّجاوُزَ عَنّي ، وَقَبُولَ قَليلِ عَمَلي وَكَثيرِهِ ، وَالزِّيادَةَ في أَيَّامي وَتَبْليغي ذلِكَ الْمَشْهَدَ ، وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَني مِمَّنْ يُدْعى فَيُجيبُ إِلى طاعَتِهِمْ وَمُوالاتِهِمْ وَنَصْرِهِمْ ، وَتُرِيَني ذلِكَ قَريباً سَريعاً في عافِيَةٍ ، إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ.
O’ He who orders as He wishes and acts as per His will, You have commanded, thus praise be to You, while You are the Praised and the Gratified one; hasten O’ my Master their relief, and hasten our relief for their sake; indeed You have guaranteed their honor after disgrace, their increment after their reduction, their evidence after obscurity, O’ the most truthful and the most Merciful. Thus, I ask You, O’ my Lord and my Master, with humility towards Your threshold of grace and benevolence, that You fulfil my wishes and forgive my sins, and except my deeds with their shortage and excess, and increase the days of my life and my visits to that Holy shrine and noble threshold. And regard me one of those who if invited for their help, friendship and obedience, they respond immediately; and show me this time as soon as possible and with peace, indeed You have power over all things.
Then raise your head towards the sky and say:
أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنَ الَّذينَ لايَرْجُونَ أَيَّامَكَ، فَأَعِذْني يا إِلهي بِرَحْمَتِكَ مِنْ ذلِكَ .
I seek refuge in You from being one of those who have no hope in Your days; thus provide me shelter from this entanglement.
O’ son of Sinaan, this supplication is more virtuous than several recommended Hajj and Umrah for which you spend your wealth, tire your body and depart from your family. And beware that whoever offers this prayer on that day, recites this supplication with pure intention and performs this deed with certainty and confirmation (of Allah and the Infallibles), Allah (S.W.T.) grants him ten specialities:
He will save him from undesirable death.
He will protect him from poverty and sufferings.
Will not let his enemies overcome him till the end of his life.
Will deliver him and his sons up to the fourth generation from insanity, leprosy and alphosis.
Will not let Satan and his servants dominate him and his sons till his fourth generation.
Ibn e Sinaan says: I left Imam (A.S.) in such a state that I was saying:
“All praises are due to Allah who favoured upon me with your cognition and friendship, and I seek His support so that he makes me successful in your obedience (which He has made compulsory on us), with his grace and mercy”.[2]
