مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية المعتبرة.

DUA FOR GLORIFYING ALLAH (S.W.T.) Fortieth: Shaykh Ibn Fahad has reported Imam al-Sadiq ('a) as saying, "Any supplication that is not commenced with a statement of glorification of the Lord is imperfect. Glorification may always precedes praise." The reporter asked the Imam ('a), "What is the least acceptable statement of glorification?" The Imam ('a) taught him to say this supplicatory prayer: DUA FOR GLORIFYING ALLAH (S.W.T.)

اَللَّهُمَّ اَنْتَ الْاَوَّلُ

O Allah, You are the First.

فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْئٌ

There is nothing before You.

وَ أَنْتَ الْاَخِرُ

And You are the Last.

فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْئٌ

There is nothing after You.

وَ اَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ

And You are the Manifest (the Evident).

فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْئٌ

There is nothing above You.

وَاَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ

And You are the Hidden (the Inner).

فَلَيْسَ دُوْنَكَ شَيْئٌ

There is nothing beneath You.

وَ أَنْتَ الْعَزِيْزُ الْحَكِيمُ.

And You are the Almighty, the All-Wise.
