مروي عن الأئمة المعصومين عليهم السلام في كتب الأدعية والزيارات المعتبرة.
Virtues, description, and recitation method of ETIQUETTES OF TAKIBAAT as recorded in Shia traditions.
ETIQUETTES OF TAKIBAAT
'Allamah al-Majlisi, may Allah have mercy upon him, says:
"As is inferred from the expression itself, ta'qib (post-prayer
utterance) includes recitation of the Holy Qur'an, supplicating
Almighty Allah, and reference to Him with statements of
glorifying and praising Him that are conventionally
connected (in time) to the obligatory prayer.
It is favorable that a post-prayer utterance be under the state
of ritual ablution and while directing the face towards the
kiblah direction. It is also better to sit in the position of
uttering the tashahhud statement and not to speak while
saying these post-prayer utterances, especially after the Isha'
(evening) Prayer.
Although some scholars have decided that all conditions of
obligatory prayers must be met while saying the post-prayer
utterances, it seems that the reward of doing the post-prayer
(recommended) rites is given no matter what position the
supplicant may take as long as he is engaged in reciting
parts of the Holy Qur'an and saying supplications, even
walking."
The Infallible Imams (a.s.) are reported to have mentioned
many supplications for the good of one's worldly life and the
Hereafter to be said after obligatory prayers. Actually, the
obligatory prayers are the most honorable physical acts of
worship; therefore, the utterances that follow them play a
vital role in the perfection and completion of these prayers.
They also raise the ranks, erase the punishments for
evildoings, and contribute to winning one's grants and needs.
In view of all that, I am encouraged to mention some of these
post-prayer utterances in this book, as quoted, mostly, from
the two books of Bihar al-Anwar and al-Miqbas by 'Allamah al-
Majlisi, may Allah odorize his holy tomb.
Post-prayer utterances are of two categories; general and
specific.
