DUA FOR LONGEVITY Twenty-first: Sayyid Ibn Tawus, through a valid chain of authority, has reported the following incident from Jamil ibn Darraj: A man visited Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) and said, "My master, l have become old aged, my relatives have all died, and I fear lest death will come upon me while I have no one to entertain me and to whom I may refer." The Imam (a.s.) answered, "Some of your brothers-in-faith are closer to you than relatives and you can find with them
اَللَهُمَّ صَلَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَالِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad.
اَللَهُمَّ اِنَّ رَسُوْلَكَ الضَّادِقَ الْمُصَدَّقَ
O Allah, verily Your Messenger, the truthful and the verified,
صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَألِهِ
may Your blessings be upon him and his family,
قَالَ اِنَّكَ قُلْتَ
said that You have said:
مَا تَرَدَّدْتُ فِى شَءِ اَنَا فَاعِلُهُ
I have not hesitated in anything I do,
كَتَرَدُّدِي فِي قَبْضِ رُوْحِ عَبْدِىَ الْمُؤْمِنِ
as I hesitate in taking the soul of My believing servant,
يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَآَكْرَهُ مَسَآئَتَهُ
he dislikes death, and I dislike to distress him.
اَللَّهُمَّ فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَالِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah, so send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad,
وَعَجِّل لِوَلِيِّكَ الْفَرَجَ
and hasten the relief of Your Wali (Guardian),
وَالْعَافِيَةَ وَالنَّصْرَ
and well-being and victory,
وَلَا تَسُوْنِى فِى نَفْسِىٰ
and do not let me suffer regarding myself,
وَلَا فِيْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ اَحِبَّتِى.
nor regarding any of my loved ones.
