العديلة عند الموت تعني التحول من الحق إلى الباطل في ساعة الموت، وذلك أن الشيطان يحضر عند الموت ليخدع المحتضر ويوسوس له ليشككه في دينه، ولتجنب ذلك وردت أدعية كثيرة لطلب الحفظ من العديلة عند الموت. ويقول فخر المحققين: من أراد السلامة من العديلة فليستحضر أدلة عقائده وأصول الدين الخمسة بصفاء و خلوص نية ويودعها عند الله تعالى ليردها عليه عند موته، وذلك بقراءة هذا الدعاء:
Deviation at the hour of death stands for shifting from the right to the wrong at the hour of death. To explain, Satan attends at the hour of death in order to deceive the moribund and suggest evil to him in order to make him doubt about his religion. If Satan succeeds, he will pull out faith from the heart of the dying person. To avoid that, many supplications have comprised statements of seeking Almighty Allah's protection against deviation at death. Fakhr al-Muhaqqigin says, 'To escape deviation at the hour of death, one should bethink the proofs of creed in which he believes, as well as the five principles of the religion with all of their irrefutable evidences, with absolute sincerity and purity and should then trust them with Almighty Allah beseeching Him for giving them back at the hour of dying. This can be done by saying the following supplicatory prayer:'
Kupotoka katika saa ya kufa (kushuka imani) maana yake ni kuhama kutoka kwenye haki kwenda kwenye batili katika saa ya mauti. Shetani huhudhuria katika saa ya mauti ili kumdanganya mtu anayekufa na kumtia wasiwasi ili amtilie shaka dini yake. Ili kuepuka hilo, kuna dua nyingi za kuomba ulinzi dhidi ya kupotoka wakati wa mauti. Fakhr al-Muhaqqigin anasema: 'Ili kuepuka kupotoka katika saa ya mauti, mtu anapaswa kufikiria ushahidi wa itikadi anayoamini, pamoja na misingi mitano ya dini kwa usafi na nia ya dhati kabisa na kisha amwekee amana Mwenyezi Mungu akimwomba amrudishie wakati wa kufa. Hili linaweza kufanyika kwa kusoma dua ifuatayo:'
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. "Allah bears witness that there is no god but He, and (so do) the angels and those possessed of knowledge, maintaining His creation with justice; there is no god but He, the Mighty, the Wise. Surely, the (true) religion with Allah is Islam." I am the slave—feeble, sinful, disobedient, needy, and ignoble—I testify to my Benefactor, Creator, Provider of me with my sustenance, and my Honorer, as same as He has testified to Himself and the angels have testified to Him so have those possessed with knowledge amongst His servants that there is no god save Him the Lord of bounties, favors, generosity, and kindness.
Kwa jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwingi wa rehema, Mwenye kurehemu. Mwenyezi Mungu anashuhudia kwamba hakuna mungu ila Yeye, na (vivyo hivyo) malaika na wenye elimu, wakisimamia uumbaji Wake kwa uadilifu; hakuna mungu ila Yeye, Mwenye nguvu, Mwenye hekima. Hakika, dini (ya kweli) mbele ya Mwenyezi Mungu ni Uislamu. Mimi ni mja—mnyonge, mwenye dhambi, muasi, mhitaji, na duni—ninamshuhudia Mfadhili wangu, Muumba wangu, Mpaji wangu wa riziki yangu, na Mwenye kuniheshimu, kama vile Yeye Mwenyewe alivyojishuhudia na malaika walivyomshuhudia Yeye na vivyo hivyo wenye elimu miongoni mwa waja Wake kwamba hakuna mungu isipokuwa Yeye Mola wa neema, fadhila, ukarimu, na wema.
He is Omnipotent, Eternal, All-knowing, Everlasting, Ever-living, One and Only, Self-existent, Endless, All-hearing, All-Seeing, Willing, Discriminating, All-aware, and eternally Besought of all. He is worthy of all these attributes, and He, characterized by all these sublime attributes, was All-powerful prior to the existence of might and power, and All-knowing before the origination of knowledge and reason. He has been always Authority when there was neither sovereignty nor wealth. He has been always Glorious under all circumstances.
Yeye ni Mwenye uwezo wote, wa Milele, Mjuzi wa kila kitu, Asiye na mwisho, Aliye hai daima, Mmoja na wa Pekee, Mwenye kujitegemea, Asiye na kikomo, Mwenye kusikia yote, Mwenye kuona yote, Mwenye nia, Mwenye kupambanua, Mjuzi wa yote, na anayeombwa na wote daima. Yeye anastahili sifa hizi zote, na Yeye, mwenye sifa hizi zote tukufu, alikuwa Mwenye nguvu zote kabla ya kuwepo kwa nguvu na uwezo, na Mjuzi wa yote kabla ya kuanza kwa elimu na akili. Amekuwa daima Mamlaka wakati hakukuwa na utawala wala utajiri. Amekuwa Mtukufu daima chini ya mazingira yote.
His Being is before all precedence in the preeternity of sempiternity. His Remaining will be after all endings without any extinction or disappearance. He is self-Sufficient at the beginning and at the end and All-independent inwardly and outwardly. There is no injustice in His Judgement, nor is there unfairness in His management, nor is there unfairness in His administration, nor is there any escape from His sovereignty, nor is there any shelter against His firm grip, nor is there any salvation from His punishment. His mercy overtakes His Wrath. None can escape Him when He summons.
Kuwepo Kwake ni kabla ya kila kitu katika umilele wa tangu kale na kale. Kubakia Kwake kutakuwa baada ya kila mwisho bila kutoweka au kupotea. Yeye anajitosheleza mwanzoni na mwishoni na Yeye hajitegemei kwa lolote kwa ndani na kwa nje. Hakuna udhalimu katika Hukumu Yake, wala hakuna upendeleo katika usimamizi Wake, wala hakuna dhuluma katika maamuzi Wake, wala hakuna kukimbia utawala Wake, wala hakuna kimbilio dhidi ya mtego Wake imara, wala hakuna wokovu kutoka kwenye adhabu Yake. Rehema Yake inatangulia Ghadhabu Yake. Hakuna anayeweza kumkimbia Yeye Anapoita.
He covers all logics for His obligatory decrees, treats absolutely equally the weak and the noble, makes capable to carry out His commands, and makes easy to abstain from His prohibitions. He does not make obedience a burden but according to one's real capacity. All glory be to Him! How manifest His generosity is! How sublime His standing is! All glory be to Him! How magnificent to seek Him is! How splendid His favors are! He has sent the Prophets in order to show His justice, and appointed successors [for the Prophets] in order to make known His munificence and grace.
Yeye anaondoa vikwazo vyote katika utekelezaji wa wajibu, na Anagawa taufiki kwa usawa kati ya mnyonge na mtukufu, Anawezesha utekelezaji wa yale yaliyoamrishwa, na Anafanya iwe rahisi kujiepusha na yaliyokatazwa. Hatoi wajibu wa utiifu isipokuwa kwa kadiri ya uwezo na nguvu ya mtu. Utakatifu ni Wake! Jinsi gani ukarimu Wake ulivyo wazi! Na cheo Chake kilivyo juu! Utakatifu ni Wake! Jinsi gani ilivyo tukufu kumtafuta Yeye! Jinsi gani fadhila Zake zilivyo bora! Amewatuma Mitume ili kuonyesha uadilifu Wake, na akateua wasimamizi (makhulafa wa Mitume) ili kudhihirisha ukarimu Wake na fadhila Zake.
He has made us of the community of the Chief of Prophets, the most favorable of His saints, the best of His elite ones, and the most sublime of the pure ones; that is Muhammad, may Allah send blessings and benedictions upon him and his Household. We thus believe in him, in all that to which he has called us, in the Qur'an which He revealed to him, and in his Successor whom he appointed on the Ghadir Day and to whom he referred by saying, "This is 'Ali."
Ametufanya tuwe miongoni mwa umma wa Bwana wa Mitume, mbora wa mawalii Wake, mbora wa wateule Wake, na mtukufu wa waliotakasika; ambaye ni Muhammad, Mwenyezi Mungu amshushie rehema na amani yeye na Ahlul-Bayt wake. Hivyo basi, tunamwamini yeye, na yote aliyotuita kwayo, na Qur'an aliyoteremshiwa yeye, na Makamu wake aliyemteua siku ya Ghadir na ambaye alimashiria kwa kusema, 'Huyu hapa ni Ali.'
I also bear witness that the Imams—the pious and benign vicegerents [of Allah] after the Chosen Prophet are: 'Ali, the subduer of the infidels. Following him is the chief of his sons, al-Hasan, the son of 'Ali. Then comes his brother, the grandson and seeker of Allah's pleasure; al-Husayn. Then comes 'Ali, the [distinctive] worshipper [of Allah]. Then comes the Cleaver (of knowledge), Muhammad. Then comes the veracious Ja'far. Then comes the suppressor of rage, Musa. Then comes the pleased, 'Ali. Then comes the pious, Muhammad. Then comes the refined, 'Ali. Then comes the pure resident of 'Askar, al-Hasan. Then comes the Argument, Successor, Assumer, Awaited, Well-guided, and Expected on account of whose existence, this world is kept in existence, on account of whose blessing, the created beings are provided sustenance, and on account of whose existence, the earth and the sky are kept in firmness.
Pia ninashuhudia kwamba Maimamu—makamu wema na wachamungu (wa Mwenyezi Mungu) baada ya Mtume Mteule ni: Ali, mshindi wa makafiri. Anayefuata baada yake ni mbora wa wanawe, al-Hasan, mtoto wa Ali. Kisha anafuata ndugu yake, mjukuu na mtafutaji wa radhi za Mwenyezi Mungu, al-Husayn. Kisha anafuata Ali, mja maalum (wa Mwenyezi Mungu). Kisha anafuata mpambanuzi wa elimu, Muhammad. Kisha anafuata mkweli Ja'far. Kisha anafuata mzuia ghadhabu, Musa. Kisha anafuata aliyeridhika, Ali. Kisha anafuata mchamungu, Muhammad. Kisha anafuata aliyetakasika, Ali. Kisha anafuata mkazi mtukufu wa Askar, al-Hasan. Kisha anafuata Hujjah, Makamu, Msimamizi, Mngojewa, Mwongofu, na Anayetarajiwa ambaye kwa kubaki kwake dunia inabaki kuwepo, na kwa baraka zake viumbe wanapewa riziki, na kwa kuwepo kwake ardhi na mbingu zinaimarika.
Through him, Allah shall fill the earth with equity and justice after it will be filled with inequity and injustice. I also bear witness that their words are decisive arguments, to comply with their orders is obligatory, the obedience to them is commissioned [by Allah], to love them is necessary and preordained, and to pattern after them will definitely achieve salvation, but to oppose them will definitely bring about destruction. They are, moreover, the chiefs of all the inhabitants of Paradise, the interceders on the Judgement Day, and, undoubtedly, the leaders of the inhabitants of the earth, and the best of the satisfied Successors [of the Prophets].
Na kwa kupitia yelle, Mwenyezi Mungu atajaza ardhi uadilifu na usawa baada ya kuwa imejaa dhuluma na uonevu. Pia ninashuhudia kwamba maneno yao ni hoja madhubuti, kutii amri zao ni wajibu, kuwatii wao kumeamrishwa (na Mwenyezi Mungu), kuwapenda wao ni lazima na kumeamuliwa tangu awali, na kufuata mfano wao hakika kunaleta wokovu, lakini kuwapinga wao hakika kunaleta maangamizi. Wao, zaidi ya hayo, ni viongozi wa wakazi wote wa Peponi, waombezi Siku ya Kiyama, na bila shaka, viongozi wa wakazi wa ardhi, na wabora wa Makamu walioridhiwa (wa Mitume).
I also bear witness that death is certain, the interrogation by Munkar and Nakir in the grave is certain, the raising of the dead is certain, the final assemblage is certain, the Discriminating Bridge is certain, the Scales [of deeds] is certain, the calling into account is certain, the record book [of deeds] is certain, Paradise is certain, Hellfire is certain, and the Hour will certainly come, without any dispute, and Allah shall raise up those who are in graves.
Pia ninashuhudia kwamba mauti ni kweli, na maswali ya kaburini ni kweli, na kufufuliwa ni kweli, na kukusanywa ni kweli, na Njia (Sirat) ni kweli, na Mizani ni kweli, na Hesabu ni kweli, na Kitabu (cha amali) ni kweli, na Pepo ni kweli, na Moto ni kweli, na kwamba Saa (ya Kiyama) itafika bila shaka yoyote, na kwamba Mwenyezi Mungu atawafufua waliomo makaburini.
O Allah, in Your favor do I put my hope, Your generosity and mercy do I expect confidently. I have no single deed by which I deserve Paradise, nor do I have any act of obedience [to You] due to which I deserve Your pleasure; except that I believe in Your Oneness and Your Justice and I hope for Your benevolence and Your favor. I thus seek the Prophet and his Household, Your most-beloved ones, to intercede for me before You; and You are verily the most Genereless (Generous) of all those who treat generously and the most Merciful of all those who show mercy. May Allah send blessings to Our Prophet, Muhammad and upon all of his Household, the pure and immaculate, and send upon them many many benedictions. There is no might and no power except with Allah, the All-high, the All-great.
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, fadhila Zako ndizo tumaini langu, na ukarimu Wako na rehema Yako ndiyo matarajio yangu. Sina tendo hata moja ambalo kwalo ninastahili Pepo, wala utiifu ambao kwayo ninastahili radhi Zako; isipokuwa kwamba ninaamini Umoja Wako na Uadilifu Wako na ninatarajia wema Wako na fadhila Zako. Basi najikurubisha Kwako kupitia Mtume na Ahlul-Bayt wake, vipenzi Vyako, ili waniombee mbele Yako; na Wewe hakika ni Mbora wa wakarimu wote na Mwingi wa rehema kuliko wote wanaorehemu. Mwenyezi Mungu amshushie rehema Mtume wetu Muhammad na Ahlul-Bayt wake wote, wema na waliotakasika, na awashushie amani nyingi mno. Hakika hakuna uwezo wala nguvu isipokuwa kwa Msaada wa Mwenyezi Mungu Aliye juu, Mkuu.
O Allah, O most Merciful of all those who show mercy, I am depositing with You this faith of mine and my firmness on this belief; and You are the ever-best of all those who keep deposits. You have commanded us to keep safe deposits that are put with us; so, (please) keep for me this deposit to give it back to me at the time of my death and at the time of the interrogation of Munkar and Nakir; [I beseech You] in the name of Your mercy; O most Merciful of all those who show mercy.
Ee Mwenyezi Mungu, Ewe Mwingi wa rehema kuliko wote wanaorehemu, hakika mimi ninaweka Kwako amana hii ya yakini yangu na uimara wa dini yangu; na Wewe ni Mbora wa wote wanaotunza amana. Umetuamuru tutunze amana salama zinazowekwa kwetu; basi tafadhali nitunzie amana hii na unirejeshee wakati wa kufika mauti yangu na wakati wa maswali ya Munkar na Nakir; nakuomba kwa jina la rehema Yako; Ewe Mwingi wa rehema kuliko wote wanaorehemu.
