مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية المعتبرة.
Seventeenth: Al-Tusi, Ibn Baabwayh, and others have reported through valid chains of authority that Imam Ali Ameer al-Momineen(a.s.) said, 'Whoever wishes that he leaves this worldly life as pure of sins as untainted gold and none will demand him to be sued for a wrongdoing, must recite twelve times after each of the five obligatory prayers the Chapter that describes Almighty Allah, namely, Surah al-Tawheed. He may then stretch his hand and pray Almighty Allah with this supplicatory prayer, which is one of the redeeming matters that Allah's Messenger (s.a.w.a.) taught and ordered me to convey to al-Hasan and al-Husayn (a.s.):'
اَللّهُمّ إِنَّى اَسْتَلُكَ بِاسمِكَ الْمَكْنُوْنِ الْمَخْزُوْنِ
O Allah, I beseech You by Your Name: the well-guarded, the stored,
الطَاهِرِ الطُهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ
The pure, the immaculate, and the blessed;
وَاَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيْمِ
and I beseech You by Your Great Name
وَسُلْطَانِكَ الْقَدِيْمِ
and by Your eternal power!
يَا وَاهِبَ العَطَايَا
O Donor of gifts!
يَا مُطْلِقَ الْأُسَارِى
O Releaser of captives!
يَا فَكَّاكَ الرِّقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ
O Deliverer of slaves from the Fire!
صَلَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَالِ مُحَمَّدٍ
(Please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَفَكَّ رَقَبَتِنْ مِنَ النَّارِ
set my neck free from the Fire,
وَاَخْرِجْنِى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِمَا
make me leave this world free from liabilities,
وَاَدْخِلْنِى الْجَنَّةَ أمِنَا
allow me to enter Paradise with security,
وَاجْعَل دُعَآئِى اَوَّلَهُ فَلَاحًا
and make the beginning of my prayer successful,
وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجَاحًا
the middle of it a gain,
وَاَخِرَهُ صَلَاحًا
and the end of it a prosperity.
إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَامُ الْغُيُوْبِ.
Verily, You are the Knower of all unseen things.
Instructions
The same supplicatory prayer in other validly reported copies of the tradition is as follows:
يَا فَكَّاكَ الرِّقَابِ مِنَ النَّارِ
O Deliverer of slaves from the Fire,
آَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأل مُحَمَّدٍ
I beseech You to send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
وَاَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقْبَتِىْ مِنَ النَّارِ
deliver me from the Fire,
وَاَنْ تُخْرِجَنِى مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِمًا
cause me to leave this world free (from liabilities),
وَتُدْخِلَنِى الْجَنَّةَ أمِنَّا
allow me to enter Paradise with security,
وَاَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعَائِن اَوَّلَهُ فَلَاحًا
and make the beginning of my prayer successful,
وَاَوْسَطَهُ نَجَاحًا
the middle of it a gain,
وَاخِرَهُ صَلَاحًا
and the end of it a prosperity.
اِنَّكَ أَنْتَ عَلَامُ الْغُيُوْبِ.
Verily, You are the Knower of all unseen things.
