دعاء آخر أيضاً يقرء في الغيبة

رواه الشيخ الكليني عن الإمام الصّادق عليه السلام ، ما هذا لفظه :

لابدّ للغلام من غيبة .

قلت : ممّا ؟

قال : يخاف - وأومئ بيده إلى بطنه - وهو المنتظر ، وهو الّذي يشكّ النّاس في ولادته ، فمنهم من يقول : حملٌ ، ومنهم من يقول : مات أبوه‏ ولم يخلف ، ومنهم من يقول : ولد قبل مدّة أبيه بسنتين .

   قال زرارة : فقلت : [و] ما تأمرني إذا أدركت ذلك الزّمان ؟

   فقال عليه السلام :

اُدع [اللَّه] بهذا الدّعاء :

   أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني نَفْسَكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني نَفْسَكَ لَمْ‏أَعْرِفْكَ . أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني نَبِيَّكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني نَبِيَّكَ لَمْ‏أَعْرِفْهُ [قَطُّ] . أَللَّهُمَّ عَرِّفْني حُجَّتَكَ ، فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ لَمْ تُعَرِّفْني ‏حُجَّتَكَ ضَلَلْتُ عَنْ ديني .(9)

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:

offer the following supplication:

O' Allah! Define Yourself 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]
