THE SUPPLICATION AFTER DAWN PRAYER (SUBH)

Honorable Sayyid Ali bin Taoos (R.A.) writes in his book “Misbah uz Zaaer”: This is a supplication that should be recited daily after the dawn prayer for visiting Imam Mahdi (peace be upon him)

أَللَّهُمَّ بَلِّغْ مَوْلايَ صاحِبَ الزَّمانِ صَلَواتُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ عَنْ جَميعِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَالْمُؤْمِناتِ، في مَشارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبِها، وَبَرِّها وَبَحْرِها ، وَسَهْلِها وَجَبَلِها ، حَيِّهِمْ وَمَيِّتِهِمْ ، وَعَنْ والِدَيَّ وَوُلْدي ، وَعَنّي مِنَ الصَّلَواتِ وَالتَّحِيَّاتِ ، زِنَةَ عَرْشِ اللَّهِ ، وَمِدادَ كَلِماتِهِ ، وَمُنْتَهى رِضاهُ ، وَعَدَدَ ما أَحْصاهُ كِتابُهُ ، وَأَحاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُهُ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي اُجَدِّدُ لَهُ في هذَا الْيَوْمِ ، وَفي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ ، عَهْداً وَعَقْداً وَبَيْعَةً ] لَهُ[ في رَقَبَتي . أَللَّهُمَّ كَما شَرَّفْتَني بِهذَا التَّشْريفِ ، وَفَضَّلْتَني بِهذِهِ الْفَضيلَةِ ، وَخَصَصْتَني بِهذِهِ النِّعْمَةِ ، فَصَلِّ عَلى مَوْلايَ وَسَيِّدي صاحِبِ الزَّمانِ ، وَاجْعَلْني مِنْ أَنْصارِهِ وَأَشْياعِهِ ، وَالذَّابّينَ عَنْهُ .

  وَاجْعَلْني مِنَ الْمُسْتَشْهَدينَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ ، طائِعاً غَيْرَ مُكْرَهٍ ، فِي الصَّفِّ الَّذي نَعَتَّ أَهْلَهُ في كِتابِكَ ، فَقُلْتَ « صَفّاً كَأَنَّهُمْ بُنْيانٌ مَرْصُوصٌ»  عَلى طاعَتِكَ وَطاعَةِ رَسُولِكَ وَآلِهِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلامُ . أَللَّهُمَّ هذِهِ بَيْعَةٌ لَهُ في عُنُقي إِلى يَوْمِ القِيامَةِ..

O' Allah deliver to my master the leader of the time peace be on him greeting and blessing from the entire believing men and women from the whole world including those on the land, sea, mountain, plain Earth, the living and the dead ones, also from my parents, my descendants, myself equivalent to the weight of Allah's Throne and the ink of His words, the utmost of His contentment and equivalent to the number which His Books has counted and the one His knowledge has encompassed, O' Allah! This morning and everyday I am renewing my covenant and allegiance on my neck.

O' Allah! As You have honoured me with this honour and favoured me with this favour and has specify this benefaction on me, so send blessing to my master, the leader of the time and make me among his followers and helpers, and those that will melt away for his sake, make me among those that will become martyr before him in obedience to him and not compelled, in the queue which You had described in Your Book, thus You said:

"… in ranks as though they were a building
well- compacted"[1]

based on obedience to You, Your Prophet and his household peace be on them, O' Allah! This is an allegiance on my neck till the Day of Judgment.[2]
