مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية المعتبرة.
The Supplication of the Tens, some paragraphs of the supplication are repeated ten times each. This supplication is excellently significant. Although there is some difference in the original copies of it, I am quoting this version from Shaykh al-Tusi's Misbah al-Mutahajjid. It is advisable to say this supplication each morning and evening. Yet, its best time is Friday afternoon:
Dua ya Makumi, baadhi ya aya za dua hii hurudiwa mara kumi kila moja. Dua hii ina umuhimu mkubwa. Ingawa kuna tofauti kidogo katika nakala zake asili, nimeinukuu toleo hili kutoka katika kitabu cha Shaykh al-Tusi, Misbah al-Mutahajjid. Inashauriwa kuisoma dua hii kila asubuhi na jioni. Hata hivyo, wakati wake bora ni Alasiri ya Ijumaa:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Bismi Allāhi ar-Raḥmāni ar-raḥīmi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
Kwa Jina la Mwenyezi Mungu, Mwingi wa Rehema, Mwenye Kurehemu.
