The Holy Prophet’s Prayer

Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s, may Allah have mercy on him, has narrated, through an authenticated chain of authority,

that when he was asked about Ja`far al-±ayy¡r’s Prayer, Imam al-Ri¤¡ (à) said, “Have you known about the

Holy Prophet’s Prayer? Perhaps, the Holy Prophet (¥) had never offered Ja`far al-±ayy¡r’s Prayer and Ja`far al-

±ayy¡r had never offered the Holy Prophet’s Prayer.” When the asker asked him to teach him that prayer, Imam

al-Ri¤¡ (à) said,

Offer a two-unit prayer reciting in each unit S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah (No. 1) once and S£rah al-Qadr (No. 97) fifteen

times. When you come to the Ruk£` (genuflection), repeat it (i.e. S£rah al-Qadr) fifteen times; when you raise

your body after the Ruk£`, recite it fifteen times; when you do the Suj£d (prostration), repeat it fifteen times;when you raise your head from the Suj£d, repeat it fifteen times; when you do the second prostration, repeat it

fifteen times; and when you raise your head from the second prostration, repeat it fifteen times. When you finish

your prayer, you will have all your sins forgiven by Almighty Allah and you will have all your requests granted for

you. The supplication that should be said thereafter is as follows:Mp3

Imam Àl

’s Prayer

Shaykh al-±£s¢ and Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s have recorded that Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (à) said: One who offers the

four-unit prayer of Imam Àl¢ Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (à) will be as free of sins as newborns and will have all his

requests granted. In the first unit, recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah (No. 1) once and repeat S£rah al-Taw¦¢d (No. 112)

fifty times. On accomplishment, say the following litany of Imam Àl¢, peace be upon him: MP3

The Imam (à) then added: One who offers this prayer and says this supplication will have all his sins

forgiven.

Numerous are the narrations that have mentioned splendid reward for those who offer this prayer on Fridays

Similarly, one who says the following supplicatory prayer after that prayer will have all his previous and coming

sins forgiven, will be given the reward of him who recites the holy Qur'¡n entirely twelve times, and will be saved

from thirst on the Resurrection Day:

O Allah, send blessings to the Arab Prophet and on hisHousehold.

Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡ ’s Prayer

It is narrated that Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡', peace be upon her, used to offer a two-unit prayer taught by

Archangel Gabriel. In the first unit, she used to recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and repeat S£rah al-Qadr one hundred

times. In the second unit, she used to recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d. After Tasl¢m (i.e. the

concluding part of a prayer), she would say the following :

Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s adds that it is better to say the famous Tasb¢¦ al-Zahr¡' after offering this prayer and then

invoke Almighty Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household.

However, in Mi¥b¡¦ al-Mutahajjid, Shaykh al-±£s¢ has recorded that Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡'’s prayer consists

of two units in the first of which S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah is recited once and S£rah al-Qadr is repeated one hundred

times; and in the second unit, S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah is recited once and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d is repeated one hundred

times. After the Tasl¢m, Tasb¢¦ al-Zahr¡' is said and then one’s knees and arms are uncovered so as to embrace

the ground with all organs of prostration without putting any barrier between the ground and the organs of

prostration. Such being the case, one should supplicate to Almighty Allah and pray for granting one’s requests

Being prostrating oneself, one should say the following prayer: MP3

Lady F ¡§imah al-Zahr¡ ’s Another Prayer

Shaykh al-±£s¢ and Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s have reported on the authority of ¯afw¡n that Mu¦ammad ibn Àl¢ al-

°alab¢, once, visited Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (à) one Friday and asked him to teach him the best deed to be

practiced on Fridays. The Imam (à) said: Listen, Mu¦ammad! I do not know any one who was more beloved and

more respected than Lady F¡§imah al-Zahr¡', peace be upon her, in the view of the Holy Prophet, peace be upon

him and his Household. Likewise, I do not know anything that was more valuable than that which he had taught

her to do on Fridays. In Friday morning, one should bathe oneself, stand upright, and offer a four-unit prayer

each two alone. In the first unit, recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah once and repeat S£rah al-Taw¦¢d fifty times. In the

second, recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah once and repeat S£rah al-`ªdiy¡t (No. 100) fifty times. In the third, recite S£rah

al-F¡ti¦ah once and repeat S£rah al-Zalzalah (No. 99) fifty times. In the fourth, recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah once and

repeat S£rah al-Na¥r (No. 110) fifty times. This S£rah was the concluding revelation. Upon accomplishment of

the prayer, pray Almighty Allah with the following prayer:

Imam al-°usayn’s Prayer on Fridays

This prayer consists of four units in each of which S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d are repeated twenty-

five times. While genuflecting, S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d are repeated ten times. So is done when

one raises his head after the genuflection and while prostrating oneself and between the two prostrations.

On accomplishment, the following prayer is said:

Alternate translation....

O My Allah! Thou art He Who heard the prayers of Adam and Hawwaa when they said: “O our Lord we did

not listen to the voice of our conscience. Now if Thou does not take a lenient view, and have mercy on us,

We shall always be among the losers.” And Nooh cried unto Thee, then Thou heard his prayer, and kept

him and his companions safe From the terrible catastrophe. Thou put out the fire set burning by Namrood,

for Ibraaheem, Thy friend, who came out from it hail and hearty. Thou art He Who heard the prayer of

Ayyoob, when he cried unto his Lord: “Truly, I am hard-pressed and concerned by losses and damages,

and Thou art Most Merciful of all who show mercy.” Then Thou dispersed hardships that were bothering

him gave him back his family, And the like thereof along with them, a mercy from Thy store, and a

remembrance for men of understanding. Thou art He Who heard the prayer of Noon (Younus). As soon as

he cried unto Thee in the darkness: “There is no god save Thee. Be Thou glorified. Surely I have been a

wrong-doer.” Then Thou saved him from anguish. Thou art He Who heard the prayers of Moosa andHaroon, When they called (unto Thee). Thou said, “Your prayer is heard. You two keep to the straight

path.” Firawn (Pharoah) and his people were drowned. Thou had forgiven mistakes committed by Dawood,

and relented towards him through Thy mercy and glory. Thou ransomed Ismaa-eel with a “Zibhin Azeem”

(great sacrifice), when they had both surrendered (to Allah), and he had flung him down upon his face.

Then he received the news of joy and relief. Thou art He unto Whom Zakariyya cried, A cry in secret.

Saying: “My Lord! Surely my bones are weak and unsteady, my head is full of grey hair, And I have never

been deprived of blessings whenever I prayed to Thee, O my Lord.” Thou said: “They cried unto Me in

longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Me.” Thou art He Who hears the prayers of those who

believe and do good deeds, Gives them more and more of Thy bounties. So count me not among the

unimportant (people) who call on and turn to Thee (in vain). Give answer to my prayer just as Thou heard

the prayers of those whom Thou found worthy of Thy attention So purify me with Thy purity, Listen to my

prayer and supplication, And kindly accept them Make what is left in my life pure and pleasant, and make

easy for me my death, Let me make amends and compensate for misdeeds. Protect me. O my Lord! I call

upon Thee. Make my children pure and chaste. Surround them with Thy reliable protection, To save them

from all that which degrade and humiliate; Children, every one of them to be among Thy close confidants

and obedient servants, through Thy mercy. O the Most Merciful, O He who watches over all things, And

gives answer to all those who cry unto Him; And is near to all those who make a request. I beseech Thee,

O “There is no god save Thou, The Everliving, the Everlasting, One, Independent, Who begets not nor was

begotten, and there is none comparable unto Him.” In the name of all (Thy) Names, Thou employed to

raise the sky, To spread out the earth, To set up the mountains, To make water run its course, To keep in

control the clouds, the sun, the moon, the stars, the nights, And the days, (so that they work as Thou

wills); And thus Thou brought into existence all creations. I beseech Thee, In the name of Thy Sublime

Glory which lighted up the heavens and the earth. Darkness spread far and wide over them, Unless

“Durood” was recited for Muhammad and the children of Muhammad.

Free me from the worries of life in this world and spare me in the other world. Make better all my affairs.Do not let me rely upon my “Nafs” (source of vain desires and passions) for a flash of an eye. Set my

affairs right, and affairs of my dependents. Keep away from me sorrows and poverty, Make me

independent. Give them from Thy unknown treasures. Multiply Thy favours that do not ever run out. Let

my mind know for certain. And stand firm so that it fills me with wisdom that makes me fit for the

company of Thy servants. Put me among the God fearing when Thou will send the Last Imam, Just as Thou

elected Ibraheem, the beloved one as the Imam, For certainly, with Thy consent and guidance, the chosen

successful attain their end; Turn repentant to Thee the penitent; Worship Thee the devotees; With the

help of Thy “True Path”, Remain upright the honest, praiseworthy and secluded worshippers, And take

refuge with Thee. On account of the direction in the right way, (Thou shows) the relieved save themselves

from the fire, and those who remain on guard against evil get mercy and forgiveness. When forsaken by

Thee the triers suffer losses, The (transgressing) oppressors are cast into Hell, The careless are neglected.

O my Allah! Give me peace of mind (a restful soul), For Thou controls the soul, and refines him who keeps


17/26


it pure. O my Allah! Render it clear and let it feel relieved, Overfill it with wisdom and piety, bless it with

inner satisfaction, Through Thy mercy, when Thou stimulates it, And let it take quarters in the pleasant

surroundings of the exalted sanctuary, Make it noble, Let it grow in substance, and develop, Be kind when

its turn comes to depart, And when it reaches the permanent abode, To live there for ever, allow it to

dwell in Paradise, Because Thou art its Friend, and its Master. O Allah! Send blessings on Muhammad and

on the children of Muhammad.
