IMPORTANT SUPPLICATION
Which has been regarded extremely precious and invaluable by Mohammad bin Othman (R.A.)
This supplication used to be recited by Imam Ali (A.S.), Imam Baqir (A.S.) and Imam Sadiq (A.S.). This supplication was presented before Abu Ja’far Mohammad bin Othman (R.A.), he said: there is no supplication like this one, and its recitation is one of the most invaluable acts of worship.
The supplication is as follows:
أَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبّي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ ، آمَنْتُ بِكَ مُخْلِصاً لَكَ عَلى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ ، أَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ سُوءِ عَمَلي ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِذُنُوبِيَ الَّتي لايَغْفِرُها غَيْرُكَ ، أَصْبَحَ ذُلّي مُسْتَجيراً بِعِزَّتِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ فَقْري مُسْتَجيراً بِغِناكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ جَهْلي مُسْتَجيراً بِحِلْمِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَتْ قِلَّةُ حيلَتي مُسْتَجيرَةً بِقُدْرَتِكَ .
وَأَصْبَحَ خَوْفي مُسْتَجيراً بِأَمانِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ دائي مُسْتَجيراً بِدَوائِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ سُقْمي مُسْتَجيراً بِشِفائِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ حَيْني مُسْتَجيراً بِقَضائِكَ . وَأَصْبَحَ ضَعْفي مُسْتَجيراً بِقُوَّتِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ ذَنْبي مُسْتَجيراً بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ ، وَأَصْبَحَ وَجْهِيَ الْفانِيَ الْبالِيَ مُسْتَجيراً بِوَجْهِكَ الْباقِي الدَّائِمِ الَّذي لايَبْلى وَلايَفْنى .
يا مَنْ لايُواريهِ لَيْلٌ داجٍ ، وَلا سَمْاءٌ ذاتُ أَبْراجٍ ، وَلا حُجُبٌ ذاتُ ارْتِجاجٍ (أَتْراجٍ) ، وَلا ماءٌ ثَجَّاجٌ في قَعْرِ بَحْرٍ عَجاجٍ ، يا دافِعَ السَّطَواتِ ، يا كاشِفَ الْكُرُباتِ ، يا مُنْزِلَ الْبَرَكاتِ مِنْ فَوْقِ سَبْعِ سَماواتٍ .
أَسْأَلُكَ يا فَتَّاحُ يا نَفَّاحُ يا مُرْتاحُ ، يا مَنْ بِيَدِهِ خَزائِنُ كُلِّ مِفْتاحٍ ، أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّاهِرينَ الطَّيِّبينَ ، وَأَنْ تَفْتَحَ لي مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيا وَالْآخِرَةِ .
وَأَنْ تَحْجُبَ عَنّي فِتْنَةَ الْمُوَكَّلِ بي ، وَلاتُسَلِّطْهُ عَلَيَّ فَيُهْلِكُني ، وَلاتَكِلْني إِلى أَحَدٍ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ فَيَعْجِزَ عَنّي ، وَلاتَحْرِمْنِي الْجَنَّةَ ، وَارْحَمْني وَتَوَفَّني مُسْلِماً ، وَأَلْحِقْني بِالصَّالِحينَ ، وَاكْفِني بِالْحَلالِ عَنِ الْحَرامِ ، وَبِالطَّيِّبِ عَنِ الْخَبيثِ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .
أَللَّهُمَّ خَلَقْتَ الْقُلُوبَ عَلى إِرادَتِكَ ، وَفَطَرْتَ الْعُقُولَ عَلى مَعْرِفَتِكَ ، فَتَمَلْمَلَتِ الْأَفْئِدَةُ مِنْ مَخافَتِكَ ، وَصَرَخَتِ الْقُلُوبُ بِالْوَلَهِ ، وَتَقاصَرَ وُسْعُ قَدْرِ الْعُقُولِ عَنِ الثَّناءِ عَلَيْكَ ، وَانْقَطَعَتِ الْأَلْفاظُ عَنْ مِقْدارِ مَحاسِنِكَ ، وَ كَلَّتِ الْأَلْسُنُ عَنْ إِحْصاءِ نِعَمِكَ ، فَإِذا وَلَجَتْ بِطُرُقِ الْبَحْثِ عَنْ نَعْتِكَ بَهَرَتْها حَيْرَةُ الْعَجْزِ عَنْ إِدْراكِ وَصْفِكَ .
فَهِيَ تَتَرَدَّدُ فِي التَّقْصيرِ عَنْ مُجاوَزَةِ ما حَدَّدْتَ لَها ، إِذْ لَيْسَ لَها أَنْ تَتَجاوَزَ ما أَمَرْتَها ، فَهِيَ بِالْإِقْتِدارِ عَلى ما مَكَّنْتَها تَحْمَدُكَ بِما أَنْهَيْتَ إِلَيْها ، وَالْأَلْسُنُ مُنْبَسِطَةٌ بِما تُمْلي عَلَيْها ، وَلَكَ عَلى كُلِّ مَنِ اسْتَعْبَدْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَلّا يَمُلُّوا مِنْ حَمْدِكَ ، وَ إِنْ قَصُرَتِ الْمَحامِدُ عَنْ شُكْرِكَ عَلى ما أَسْدَيْتَ إِلَيْها مِنْ نِعَمِكَ .
فَحَمِدَكَ بِمَبْلَغِ طاقَةِ جُهْدِهِمُ (حَمْدِهِمُ) الْحامِدُونَ ، وَاعْتَصَمَ بِرَجاءِ عَفْوِكَ الْمُقَصِّرُونَ ، وَأَوْجَسَ بِالرُّبُوبِيَّةِ لَكَ الْخائِفُونَ ، وَقَصَدَ بِالرَّغْبَةِ إِلَيْكَ الطَّالِبُونَ ، وَانْتَسَبَ إِلى فَضْلِكَ الْمُحْسِنُونَ ، وَكُلٌّ يَتَفَيَّأُ في ظِلالِ تَأْميلِ عَفْوِكَ ، وَيَتَضائَلُ بِالذُّلِّ لِخَوْفِكَ ، وَيَعْتَرِفُ بِالتَّقْصيرِ في شُكْرِكَ .
فَلَمْ يَمْنَعْكَ صُدُوفُ مَنْ صَدَفَ عَنْ طاعَتِكَ ، وَلا عُكُوفُ مَنْ عَكَفَ عَلى مَعْصِيَتِكَ إِنْ أَسْبَغْتَ عَلَيْهِمُ النِّعَمَ ، وَأَجْزَلْتَ لَهُمُ الْقِسَمَ ، وَصَرَفْتَ عَنْهُمُ النِّقَمَ ، وَخَوَّفْتَهُمْ عَواقِبَ النَّدَمِ ، وَضاعَفْتَ لِمَنْ أَحْسَنَ ، وَأَوْجَبْتَ عَلَى الْمُحْسِنينَ شُكْرَ تَوْفيقِكَ لِلْإِحْسانِ ، وَعَلَى الْمُسيءِ شُكْرَ تَعَطُّفِكَ بِالْإِمْتِنانِ ، وَوَعَدْتَ مُحْسِنَهُمْ بِالزِّيادَةِ فِي الْإِحْسانِ مِنْكَ . فَسُبْحانَكَ تُثيبُ عَلى ما بَدْؤُهُ مِنْكَ ، وَانْتِسابُهُ إِلَيْكَ ، وَالْقُوَّةُ عَلَيْهِ بِكَ ، وَالْإِحْسانُ فيهِ مِنْكَ ، وَالتَّوَكُّلُ فِي التَّوْفيقِ لَهُ عَلَيْكَ .
فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ حَمْدَ مَنْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ الْحَمْدَ لَكَ ، وَأَنَّ بَدْأَهُ مِنْكَ ، وَمَعادَهُ إِلَيْكَ حَمْداً لايَقْصُرُ عَنْ بُلُوغِ الرِّضا مِنْكَ ، حَمْدَ مَنْ قَصَدَكَ بِحَمْدِهِ ، وَاسْتَحَقَّ الْمَزيدَ لَهُ مِنْكَ في نِعَمِهِ ، وَلَكَ مُؤَيِّداتٌ مِنْ عَوْنِكَ ، وَرَحْمَةٌ تَخُصُّ بِها مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ .
فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ ، وَاخْصُصْنا مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ وَمُؤَيِّداتِ لُطْفِكَ ، بِأَوْجَبِها لِلْإِقالاتِ ، وَأَعْصَمِها مِنَ الْإِضاعاتِ ، وَأَنْجاها مِنَ الْهَلَكاتِ ، وَأَرْشَدِها إِلَى الْهِداياتِ ، وَأَوْقاها مِنَ الْآفاتِ ، وَأَوْفَرِها مِنَ الْحَسَناتِ ، وَأَنْزَلِها بِالْبَرَكاتِ ، وَأَزْيَدِها فِي الْقِسَمِ ، وَأَسْبَغِها لِلنِّعَمِ ، وَأَسْتَرِها لِلْعُيُوبِ ، وَأَغْفَرِها لِلذُّنُوبِ ، إِنَّكَ قَريبٌ مُجيبٌ .
فَصَلِّ عَلى خِيَرَتِكَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ، وَصَفْوَتِكَ مِنْ بَرِيَّتِكَ ، وَأَمينِكَ عَلى وَحْيِكَ بِأَفْضَلِ الصَّلَواتِ ، وَبارِكْ عَلَيْهِ بَأَفْضَلِ الْبَرَكاتِ ، بِما بَلَّغَ عَنْكَ مِنَ الرِّسالاتِ ، وَصَدَعَ بِأَمْرِكَ ، وَدَعا إِلَيْكَ ، وَأَفْصَحَ بِالدَّلائِلِ عَلَيْكَ بِالْحَقِّ الْمُبينِ ، حَتَّى أَتاهُ الْيَقينُ ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْأَوَّلينَ ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرينَ ، وَعَلى آلِهِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ الطَّاهِرينَ ، وَاخْلُفْهُ فيهِمْ بِأَحْسَنِ ما خَلَّفْتَ بِهِ أَحَداً مِنَ الْمُرْسَلينَ بِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .
أَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ إِراداتٌ لاتُعارِضُ دُونَ بُلُوغِهَا الْغاياتُ ، قَدِ انْقَطَعَ مُعارَضَتُها بِعَجْزِ الْإِسْتِطاعاتِ عَنِ الرَّدِّ لَها دُونَ النِّهاياتِ ، فَأَيَّةُ إِرادَةٍ جَعَلْتَها إِرادَةً لِعَفْوِكَ ، وَسَبَباً لِنَيْلِ فَضْلِكَ ، وَاسْتِنْزالاً لِخَيْرِكَ .
فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَ صِلْهَا اللَّهُمَّ بِدَوامٍ ، وَابْدَأْها بِتَمامٍ ، إِنَّكَ واسِعُ الْحِباءِ ، كَريمُ الْعَطاءِ ، مُجيبُ النِّداءِ سَميعُ الدُّعاءِ .
O’ Allah! You are my Lord and I am Your servant, I have faith in You with pure intention for You and I have fulfilled my oath and promise concerning You with the best of my capability, I return towards You from my bad deeds, and I seek forgiveness for my sins which cannot be pardoned by anyone save You, my disgrace seeks refuge in Your dignity, my poverty seeks refuge in Your needlessness, my ignorance seeks refuge in Your Forbearance, I eliminate my helplessness by seeking refuge in Your Power. My fear seeks refuge in Your Safety, my pain seeks refuge in Your medicine, my illness seeks refuge in Your cure, my destruction seeks refuge in Your destiny, and my weakness seeks refuge in Your strength, and my sins seek refuge in Your forgiveness, and my old and destroyable face seeks refuge in Your Eternal and Remaining Existence, which cannot grow old or be destroyed. O’ He from whom the dark night cannot hide anything, nor the sky containing great stars, nor the continuous veils, nor the water falling in the depth of oceans, O’ Eliminator of the dominance of enemies, O’ Disperser of the sorrows, O’ sender of the blessings from above the seven heavens. I ask You, O’ All-Reliever, O’ Bountiful, O’ Ease, O’ He in Whose hands lies the treasure of all the keys, to bless Mohammad and his holy purified Progeny, and to open wide the good (things) of this world and the hereafter for me, and end the temptation that has entangled me, and don’t dominate him over me so that he destroys me, and do not give me over to anyone even for the blink of an eye as he will be incapable for my affair, and do not deprive me of Heaven, and have mercy upon me, and help me die as a Muslim, and join me with the noblemen, and suffice me with Halal from Haram, and with clean from filthy, O’ most Merciful of all merciful ones. O’ Allah, You have created the hearts by Your will, and the intellect upon Your cognition, thus hearts became impatient out of Your fear, and they cried out of astonishment from You, and the ability of the intellect decreased against Your Praise, and the words fell short of the extent of Your goodness, and the tongues showed weariness in the calculation of Your bounties, whenever they wished to describe You in whichever way, they became astonished due to their incapability of attaining Your description; thus it became suspicious in falling short of the permitted limit defined by You, because it doesn’t have a right to go ahead of what You have ordered, it has the ability to praise You as per the Power You have bestowed upon it, and the tongues can speak until where You have dictated, thus You have the right upon all Your creatures that they do not feel tired of Your appraisal, such that how much ever they praise You, even then the Praises will be minimal compare to Your bounties. Thus the appraisers praised You as per their ability and effort, and the culpable have held on to Your forgiveness, and the frightened ones are shivering before the status of Your divinity, and Your seekers hasten towards Your Threshold in Your search, and the noblemen are associated with Your Grace, and all of them sit under the shadow of the hope of Your Forgiveness, and are frightened from You, and confess their shortcomings in praising You. Those who have turned away from Your obedience, or have engaged themselves in Your disobedience, couldn’t stop You from showering these bounties upon them, and from making their share abundant, and to disperse miseries from them, and to frighten them of the remorseful fate, and to multiply the good deeds of the noblemen, and You made obligatory upon the good-doers to thank You for granting the opportunity of good-doings, and upon the evil-doers to thank for Your blessing and generosity, and promised their good-doers to increase Your Favour for them. Thus, You are Glorious, the reward You give is in exchange of what has begun from You, and is associated to You, and You have granted the ability to perform it, and this favour is from You, and the success of performing it was also achieved by reliance in You, thus Praise be to You, a praise of someone who knows that all praises are for You, and its beginning is from You, and its return is towards You, such a praise that will definitely help me attain Your pleasure, a praise of someone who intends You with his praise, and has become deserving of the abundance in bounties, and you the approvers from the way of Your support, and such Mercy which is specifically for someone whom You love from Your creation. Thus, bless Mohammad and his holy Progeny, and make us exclusive for Your Mercy and the approvers of Your Grace, which will result in further forgiveness of sins, protection from destruction, deliverance from devastation, and guidance towards the paths of guidance, and safety from afflictions, and abundance of good (things), and showering of blessings, and increase of share and benefits, and abundance in the bounties, and concealment of flaws, and forgiveness of sins, indeed You are Near and responder. Thus, bless the best of Your creation, and the chosen one from Your creatures, and Your trusted one for You revelation, with the best of salutations, and bless them with the best of blessings, just like he delivered Your messages, and displayed Your Command, and invited towards You, and gave evidences for that which is true in the eloquent and bright manner, until death reached him. May Allah bless him in the beginners, and may He bless him in the future, and bless his Progeny and his pure household, and replace him among them with the best of Your replacements for any other Prophet, O’ most Merciful of all the merciful. O’ Allah! Your decisions cannot be contradicted until they reach their final target, and if they come for the contradiction and opposition of Your decision, they will remain incapable, thus whichever decision You made for pardoning, and whichever cause You have regarded for reaching virtue, and whichever thing You have caused for the revealing of blessings, bless Mohammad and the household of Mohammad, and connect them with eternity, and begin completely, indeed You are an extensive Rewarder, a generous bestower, the Responder of voices, and the Hearer of Supplication.[1]
