ANOTHER SUPPLICATION

ON THE THIRTEENTH DAY OF RAMADAN

Sayyid Ali bn Taaos narrates another supplication for this day:

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ الظَّلَمَةَ جَحَدُوا آياتِكَ ، وَكَفَرُوا بِكِتابِكَ ، وَكَذَّبُوا رُسُلَكَ ، وَاسْتَنْكَفُوا عَنْ عِبادَتِكَ ، وَرَغِبُوا عَنْ مِلَّةِ خَليلِكَ ، وَبَدَّلُوا ما جاءَ بِهِ رَسُولُكَ ، وَشَرَّعُوا غَيْرَ دينِكَ ، وَاقْتَدَوْا بِغَيْرِ هُداكَ ، وَاسْتَنُّوا بِغَيْرِ سُنَّتِكَ ، وَتَعَدَّوْا حُدُودَكَ ، وَسَعَوْا مُعاجِزينَ في آياتِكَ .

  وَتَعاوَنُوا عَلى إِطْفاءِ نُورِكَ ، وَصَدُّوا عَنْ سَبيلِكَ ، وَكَفَرُوا نَعْماءَكَ ، وَشاقُّوا وُلاةَ أَمْرِكَ ، وَوالَوْا أَعْداءَكَ ، وَعادَوْا أَوْلِيائَكَ ، وَعَرَفُوا ثُمَّ أَنْكَرُوا نِعْمَتَكَ ، وَلَمْ يَذْكُرُوا آلاءَكَ ، وَأَمِنُوا مَكْرَكَ ، وَقَسَتْ قُلُوبُهُمْ عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ ، وَاسْتَحَلُّوا حَرامَكَ وَحَرَّمُوا حَلالَكَ ، وَاجْتَرَأُوا عَلى مَعْصِيَتِكَ ، وَلَمْ يَخافُوا مَقْتَكَ ، وَنَسُوا نِقْمَتَكَ وَلَمْ يَحْذَرُوا بَأْسَكَ ، وَاغْتَرُّوا بِنِعْمَتِكَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ فَاصْبُبْ مِنْهُمْ ، وَاصْبُبْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذابَكَ ، وَاسْتَأْصِلْ شافَتَهُمْ ، وَاقْطَعْ دابِرَهُمْ ، وَ ضَعْ عِزَّهُمْ وَجَبَرُوتَهُمْ ، وَانْزَعْ أَوْتارَهُمْ ، وَزَلْزِلْ أَقْدامَهُمْ ، وَأَرْعِبْ قُلُوبَهُمْ . أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ اتَّخَذُوا دينَكَ دَغَلاً ، وَمالَكَ دُوَلاً وَعِبادَكَ خَوَلاً .

  أَللَّهُمَّ اكْفُفْهُمْ بَأْسَهُمْ ، وَافْلُلْ حَدَّهُمْ ، وَأَوْهِنْ كَيْدَهُمْ ، وَأَشْمِتْ عَدُوَّهُمْ وَاشْفِ صُدُورَ الْمُؤْمِنينَ . أَللَّهُمَّ افْتُتْ أَعْضادَهُمْ ، وَاقْهَرْ جَبابِرَتَهُمْ ، وَاجْعَلِ الدَّائِرَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، وَاقْضُضْ بُنْيانَهُمْ ، وَخالِفْ بَيْنَ كَلِمَتِهِمْ ، وَفَرِّقْ جَمْعَهُمْ ، وَشَتِّتْ أَمْرَهُمْ ، وَاجْعَلْ بَأْسَهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ ، وَابْعَثْ عَلَيْهِمْ عَذاباً مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ ، وَمِنْ تَحْتِ أَرْجُلِهِمْ ، وَاسْفِكْ بِأَيْدِي الْمُؤْمِنينَ دِمائَهُمْ ، وَأَوْرِثِ الْمُؤْمِنينَ أَرْضَهُمْ وَدِيارَهُمْ وَأَمْوالَهُمْ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ أَضِلَّ أَعْمالَهُمْ ، وَاقْطَعْ رَجاءَهُمْ ، وَأَدْحِضْ حُجَّتَهُمْ ، وَاسْتَدْرِجْهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ لايَعْلَمُونَ ، وَائْتِهِمْ بِالْعَذابِ مِنْ حَيْثُ لايَشْعُرُونَ ، وَأَنْزِلْ بِساحَتِهِمْ ما يَحْذَرُونَ ، وَحاسِبْهُمْ حِساباً شَديداً ، وَعَذِّبْهُمْ عَذاباً نُكْراً ، وَاجْعَلْ عاقِبَةَ أَمْرِهِمْ خُسْراً .

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُمُ اشْتَرَوْا بِآياتِكَ ثَمَناً قَليلاً ، وَعَتَوْا عُتُوّاً كَبيراً . أَللَّهُمَّ فَخُذْهُمْ أَخْذاً وَبيلاً ، وَدَمِّرْهُمْ تَدْميراً ، وَتَبِّرْهُمْ تَتْبيراً ، وَلاتَجْعَلْ لَهُمْ فِي الْأَرْضِ ناصِراً ، وَلا فِي السَّماءِ عاذِراً ، وَالْعَنْهُمْ لَعْناً كَبيراً . أَللَّهُمَّ فَخُذْهُمْ أَخْذاً وَبيلاً .

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُمْ أَضاعُوا الصَّلاةَ ، وَاتَّبَعُوا الشَّهَواتِ ، وعَمِلُوا السَّيِّئاتِ . أَللَّهُمَّ فَخُذْهُمْ بِالْبَلِيَّاتِ ، وَاحْلُلْ بِهِمُ الْوَيْلاتِ ، وَأَرِهِمُ الْحَسَراتِ ، يا اَللَّهُ إِلهَ الْأَرَضينَ وَالسَّماواتِ . أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَارْحَمْنا بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَدينُكَ يا رَبِّ بِطاعَتِكَ ، وَلانُنْكِرُ وِلايَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِكَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَوِلايَةَ أَميرِالْمُؤْمِنينَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبي طالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ ، وَوِلايَةَ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ ، سِبْطَيْ نَبِيِّكَ وَوَلَدَيْ رَسُولِكَ عَلَيْهِمَا السَّلامُ، وَوِلايَةَ الطَّاهِرينَ الْمَعْصُومينَ مِنْ ذُرِّيَّةِ الْحُسَيْنِ ، عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَمُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسى وَمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ وَعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ سَلامُ اللَّهِ وَبَرَكاتُهُ عَلَيْهِمْ أَجْمَعينَ ، وَوِلايَةَ الْقائِمِ ، اَلسَّابِقِ مِنْهُمْ بِالْخَيْراتِ ، اَلْمُفْتَرَضِ الطَّاعَةِ ، صاحِبِ الزَّمانِ سَلامُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ .

  أَدينُكَ يا رَبِّ بِطاعَتِهِمْ وَوِلايَتِهِمْ ، وَالتَّسْليمِ لِفَرْضِهِمْ ، راضِياً غَيْرَ مُنْكِرٍ وَلا مُسْتَكْبِرٍ وَلا مُسْتَنْكِفٍ ، عَلى مَعْنى ما أَنْزَلْتَ في كِتابِكَ ، عَلى مَوْجُودِ ما أَتانا فيهِ ، راضِياً ما رَضيتَ بِهِ ، مُسَلِّماً مُقِرّاً بِذلِكَ يا رَبِّ ، راهِباً لَكَ ، راغِباً فيما لَدَيْكَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ ادْفَعْ عَنْ وَلِيِّكَ وَابْنِ نَبِيِّكَ ، وَخَليفَتِكَ وَحُجَّتِكَ عَلى خَلْقِكَ ، وَالشَّاهِدِ عَلى عِبادِكَ ، اَلْمُجاهِدِ الْمُجْتَهِدِ في طاعَتِكَ ، وَوَلِيِّكَ وَأَمينِكَ في أَرْضِكَ ، فَأَعِذْهُ مِنْ شَرِّ ما خَلَقْتَ وَبَرَأْتَ ، وَاجْعَلْهُ في وَدائِعِكَ الَّتي لايَضيعُ مَنْ كانَ فيها ، وَفي جِوارِكَ الَّذي لايُقْهَرُ ، وَآمِنْهُ بِأَمانِكَ ، وَاجْعَلْهُ في كَنَفِكَ ، وَانْصُرْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ الْعَزيزِ ، يا إِلهَ الْعالَمينَ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ اعْصِمْهُ بِالسَّكينَةِ ، وَأَلْبِسْهُ دِرْعَكَ الْحَصينَةَ ، وَأَعِنْهُ وَانْصُرْهُ بِنَصْرِكَ الْعَزيزِ نَصْراً عَزيزاً ، وَافْتَحْ لَهُ فَتْحاً يَسيراً ، وَاجْعَلْ لَهُ مِنْ لَدُنْكَ سُلْطاناً نَصيراً . أَللَّهُمَّ والِ مَنْ والاهُ ، وَعادِ مَنْ عاداهُ ، وَانْصُرْ مَنْ نَصَرَهُ ، وَاخْذُلْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ اشْعَبْ بِهِ صَدْعَنا ، وَارْتُقْ بِهِ فَتْقَنا ، وَالْمُمْ بِهِ شَعَثَنا ، وَكَثِّرْ بِهِ قِلَّتَنا، وَأَعْزِزْ بِهِ ذِلَّتَنا ، وَاقْضِ بِهِ عَنْ مَغْرَمِنا ، وَاجْبُرْ بِهِ فَقْرَنا ، وَسُدَّ بِهِ خَلَّتَنا ، وَأَغْنِ بِهِ فاقَتَنا ، وَيَسِّرْ بِهِ عُسْرَتَنا ، وَكُفَّ بِهِ وُجُوهَنا ، وَأَنْجِحْ بِهِ طَلِبَتَنا، وَاسْتَجِبْ بِهِ دُعائَنا، وَأَعْطِنا بِهِ فَوْقَ رَغْبَتِنا، وَاشْفِ بِهِ صُدُورَنا ، وَاهْدِنا لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ يا رَبِّ ، إِنَّكَ تَهْدي مَنْ تَشاءُ إِلى صِراطٍ مُسْتَقيمٍ .

  أَللَّهُمَّ أَمِتْ بِهِ الْجَوْرَ ، وَأَظْهِرْ بِهِ الْعَدْلَ ، وَقَوِّ ناصِرَهُ ، وَاخْذُلْ خاذِلَهُ ، وَدَمِّرْ مَنْ نَصَبَ لَهُ ، وَأَهْلِكْ مَنْ غَشَّهُ ، وَاقْتُلْ بِهِ جَبابِرَةَ الْكُفْرِ ، وَاقْصِمْ رُؤُوسَ الضَّلالَةِ ، وَسائِرَ أَهْلِ الْبِدَعِ ، وَمُقَوِّيَةَ الْباطِلِ ، وَذَلِّلْ بِهِ الْجَبابِرَةَ ، وَأَبِرْ بِهِ الْكافِرينَ وَالْمُنافِقينَ وَجَميعَ الْمُلْحِدينَ ، في مَشارِقِ الْأَرْضِ وَمَغارِبِها ، بَرِّها وَبَحْرِها ، وَسَهْلِها وَجَبَلِها ، لاتَذَرْ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنْهُمْ دَيَّاراً ، وَلاتُبْقِ لَهُمْ آثاراً .

  أَللَّهُمَّ أَظْهِرْهُ ، وَافْتَحْ عَلى يَدَيْهِ الْخَيْراتِ ، وَاجْعَلْ فَرَجَنا مَعَهُ وَبِهِ . أَللَّهُمَّ أَعِنَّا عَلى سُلُوكِ الْمَناهِجِ ، مِنْهاجِ الْهُدى ، وَالْمَحَجَّةِ الْعُظْمى ، وَالطَّريقَةِ الْوُسْطى ، اَلَّتي يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ الْغالي ، وَيَلْحَقُ بِهِ التَّالي ، وَوَفِّقْنا لِمُتابَعَتِهِ ، وَأَداءِ حَقِّهِ .

  وَامْنُنْ عَلَيْنا بِمُتابَعَتِهِ فِي الْبَأْساءِ وَالضَّرَّاءِ ، وَاجْعَلْنا مِنَ الطَّالِبينَ رِضاكَ بِمُناصَحَتِهِ ، حَتَّى تَحْشُرَنا يَوْمَ الْقِيامَةِ في أَعْوانِهِ وَأَنْصارِهِ ، وَمَعُونَةِ سُلْطانِهِ ، وَاجْعَلْ ذلِكَ لَنا خالِصاً مِنْ كُلِّ شَكٍّ وَشُبْهَةٍ ، وَرِياءٍ وَسُمْعَةٍ ، لانَطْلُبُ بِهِ غَيْرَكَ ، وَلانُريدُ بِهِ سِواكَ ، وَتُحِلَّنا مَحَلَّهُ ، وَتَجْعَلَنا فِي الْخَيْرِ مَعَهُ .

  وَاصْرِفْ عَنَّا في أَمْرِهِ السَّامَةَ وَالْكَسَلَ وَالْفَتْرَةَ ، وَلاتَسْتَبْدِلْ بِنا غَيْرَنا ، فَإِنَّ اسْتِبْدالَكَ بِنا غَيْرَنا عَلَيْكَ يَسيرٌ وَعَلَيْنا عَسيرٌ ، وَقَدْ عَلِمْنا بِفَضْلِكَ وَ إِحْسانِكَ يا كَريمُ ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلى سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ .

“O’ Allah, indeed the transgressors have denied Your proofs, and disbelieved Your book, and falsified Your Prophets, and refused to worship You, and turned away from the nation of Your Friend, and altered all that Your Prophet had brought, and followed other than Your religion, and led other than the path of Your Guidance, and acted upon a tradition other than Your tradition, and trespassed Your boundaries, and strived to weaken Your proofs, and cooperated with each other to put off Your Light, and prevented from Your path, and denied Your bounties, and envied the Governors of Your issues, and befriended Your enemies, and resented Your friends, they recognized Your bounties then denied them, and never mentioned Your rewards, and considered themselves protected from Your schemes, their hearts hardened from Your remembrance, they reckoned Your Haram as Halal, and reckoned Your Halal as Haram, and were audacious on sinning You, they never feared Your enmity, and ignored Your revenge, they did not protect themselves from Your punishment, and exhibited pride over Your bounties. O’ Allah, deprive them of Your bounties, and send down Your punishment on them, and uproot them, and end their lineage, turn their dignity and majesty into humility and disgrace, put an end to their oppression, quake their footsteps, and horrify their hearts. O’ Allah, they made Your religion a means of deception and fraud, and used Your wealth as means of dominance, and took Your slaves as their own slaves. O’ Allah, protect Your slaves from their tyranny and entanglements, and break their sharp swords, and weaken their schemes and plots, make their enemies happy, and cure the chest of the faithful. O’ Allah, make their friends and supporters powerless, and overcome their Power and dignity, and siege them in a circle, demolish their roots and foundations, loosen the strings of their unity, scatter their gatherings, disorient their issues, place their sufferings and calamities between themselves, and send a punishment upon them from above them, and from under their feet, and shed their bloods by the hands of the believers, and make the believers inherit their lands and houses. O’ Allah, destroy their deeds, cut off their hopes, nullify their proofs, and entangle them gradually from a place they are not aware of, and send punishment over them such that they don’t understand where it came from, and descend upon them that which they fear, and hold them severely accountable of their deeds, and punish them with a dreadful punishment, and make their fate a certain loss. O’ Allah, they sold Your Proofs at a low rate, and committed great mischiefs. O’ Allah, entangle them dreadfully, and suppress them severely, and destroy them completely; and do not leave any supporter for them on earth, nor any excuser in the sky, and curse them enormously, O’ Allah, entangle them dreadfully. O’ Allah, indeed they have wasted and destroyed the prayers, and worshipped their lusts, and committed sins. O’ Allah, thus entangle them with calamities and descend destruction upon them, and overcome them with remorse and regret. O’ Allah, O’ sustainer of the earths and the heavens. O’ Allah, bless Mohammad and his Holy Progeny, and have mercy upon us O’ the most merciful one. O’ Allah, I am indebted to You O’ Lord with Your obedience, and do not deny the Guardianship of Mohammad, Your Prophet, peace be upon him and his household, and the Guardianship of the Commander of the faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib, peace be upon him, and the Guardianship of Hasan and Husain, peace be upon them, the two sons of Your Prophet, peace be upon them, and the Guardianship of the Pure Infallibles from the lineage of Husain (A.S.), Ali bin Husain, Mohammad bin Ali, Jafar bin Mohammad, Musa bin Jafar, Ali bin Musa, Mohammad bin Ali, Ali bin Mohammad, Al-Hasan bin Ali, peace and blessings of Allah (S.W.T.) be upon all of them; and the Guardianship of Al-Qaaem (the Riser), the one who precedes amongst them towards good deeds, whose obedience is obligatory, the Master of Time, peace be upon him. I am indebted to their obedience and their guardianship, and indebted to surrender before their commands, while I am content with this without any refusal, I do not exhibit arrogance nor reckon it as disgrace, as per the meanings revealed by You in Your book, and according to the existent that reached me, content with what You are content, surrendering and confirming to it O’ Lord, while I fear You, I am attracted towards all that is near You. O’ Allah, keep all the calamities away from Your guardian, Your Prophet’s son, Your Vicegerent, and Your proof upon Your creation, and the witness upon Your slaves, the one who strives meticulously for Your obedience, and Your guardian and trustee on earth, thus protect him from the evil of that which You created and brought into existence, and place him among Your deposits which are never wasted, and in Your vicinity which is not dominated, and protect him with Your protection, and keep him under Your supervision, and support him with Your powerful assistance, O’ Lord of the worlds. O’ Allah, secure him with peace and dignity, and cover him with Your strong armour, and support him with Your powerful aid by the most capable form of support, and bless him with the easiest victory. And allot a dominating supporter for him from Your threshold. O’ Allah, befriend his friends, and envy his enemies, and back his supporters, and humiliate those who wish to humiliate him. O’ Allah, decrease the distances between us through him, and tighten our loose strings, and give order to our disorientation, and increase our reduced numbers, and dignify us from disgrace through him, and pay our debts through him, and compensate our deprivation and poverty through him, and put an end to our needs through him, and make our difficulties easy with his help, and maintain our respect through him, and fulfil our demands through him, accept our prayers, grant us more than our desire, cure our chests, guide us in our difference about the truth O’ Lord, indeed You guide whom You wish towards the straight path. O’ Allah, put the oppressions to death through him, and make the justice apparent, and strengthen his supporters, and humiliate those who wish to humiliate him, and destroy those who openly envy him, and execute those who committed treachery against him, and kill the chiefs of disbelievers through him, and put an end to all the heads of misguidance and heresy, and those who strengthen the evil, and humiliate the tyrants through him, and destroy through him all the infidels and the hypocrites, and all those who deviated from the religion in the east and the west of the earth, living on the land and in the sea, in the fields and on the mountains, and do not leave anyone of them on earth, nor their traces and impressions. O’ Allah, make him apparent, and open the doors of good-deeds by his hands, and make our relief through him and along with him. O’ Allah, help us to walk through the bright and evident paths, the path of guidance, and the greater path of moderation and temperance, which does not have any deviation, towards which returns the exaggerator, and with which joins the arreared, and succeed us in his obedience, and in giving his rights. And oblige us for his obedience in difficulties and sorrows, and place us among the seekers of Your satisfaction with well-wishes for his holiness, until you resurrect us on the Day of Judgment among his supporters and devotees, and the campaigners of his government. And make all our demands devoid of any sort of scepticism and doubt, and without any hypocrisy and fame, we do not demand through him anything except You, and we do not need anyone apart from You, place us near his vicinity, and keep us along with him in all good, and keep all kind of laziness, irresponsibility and frailty away from us in performing his orders, and do not exchange us with others, as this exchange will be easy for You but extremely difficult for us, and we are aware of Your grace and favour, O’ beneficent, and may Allah bless our Master, Mohammad, the Prophet, and his household.
