ANOTHER SUPPLICATION TO
BE RECITED DURING THE OCCULTATION
Sheikh Kulaini has narrated it from Imam Sadiq (peace be on him) how excellent the expression.
It is incumbent for the man to be in occultation, I said for what? He said pointing to his stomach, he is scared, that is the awaiting one. He who people shall be in doubt of his birth day, some people shall say he is not pregnant, some shall say his father died without leaving behind a successor while some shall say he was born two years before the advent of his father.
Zurarah said: I said to Imam; what will you command me to do if I reach that time? He (peace be on him) said: recite the following supplication:
أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني نَفْسَكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني نَفْسَكَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْكَ . أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني نَبِيَّكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني نَبِيَّكَ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ [قَطُّ] . أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني حُجَّتَكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني حُجَّتَكَ ضَلَلْتُ عَنْ ديني .
O' Allah! Make Yourself known to me, indeed if You did not define Yourself to me I wouldn't know You, O' Allah define Your Prophet to me, indeed if You did not define Your Prophet to me, I wouldn't know him, O' Allah! Define Your proof to me, indeed if You did not define Your proof to me, I would be misguided from my Religion.[1]
