Duas from Mafatih / Baqiyatus salehat -Brief prayers for this world & next world
& prayer for Settling the Needs
1) In al-Rawand¢’s book of al-Daàwat, it is reported that Imam Zayn al-Aideen (à) passed by a man
sitting at the doorstep of another man’s house. “What for are you sitting at the door of this lavish tyrant?”
the Imam (à) asked.“It is because of ordeal,” the man answered “Stand up, “ the Imam (à) said, “I will
guide you to a door better than this tyrant’s door and to a Lord who is better than this man.” Hence, the
Imam (à) took the man from the hand to the Holy Prophet’s Mosque where he instructed him to turn his
face towards the kiblah direction, offer a two-unit prayer, raise the hands towards Almighty Allah to praise
Him, invoke His blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, & recite the last verses of Surah al-
°ashr (No. 59), the first six verses of Surah al-°ad¢d (No. 57), and the two verses in Surah ªl-Ìmran
(either verses 81-19 according to al-Rawand¢, or 26-27 according to al-Majlis¢), and then ask for the
personal needs. Any prayer that is said in this situation will be definitely granted.
2)Imam Àl¢ Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (à) said, “If you need something to be settled, you may go for seeking it
on early Thursdays and you may recite the last verses of Surah ªl-Ìmran, ªyah al-Kurs¢, Surah al-Qadr,
and Surah al-Fatihah before you leave your house, because these holy verses and Surahs contribute to
solving all the needs for this life and the life to come.”
3)A Prayer for Settling Urgent Needs
You may offer a four-unit prayer with precise Qunut and other pillars (i.e. genuflection, prostration, and the other parts of
prayers). In the first unit, you may recite Surah al-Fatihah one time and repeat the following verses seventy times:

the first unit, you may recite Surah al-Fatihah, Surah al-Tawhid, and the first three verses of Surah al-Fath (No. 48):

In the second unit, you may recite Surah al-Fatihah, Surah al-Tawhid, and Surah al-Inshirah (or al-Sharh No. 94).This
prayer has been personally experienced.
5.Prayer for Settling the Needs
The following is quoted from the book of Makarim al-Akhlaq:
At midnight, you may bathe yourself and offer a two-unit prayer. In both units, you should recite Surah al-Fatihah once
and repeat Surah al-Tawhid five hundred times. After repeating this Surah in the second unit, you may recite the last
verses of Surah al-Hashr:
Had We sent down this Qur'an on a law anzalna hadha al-qur'ana

ٰ‫ﻥ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰ‬

You may then recite the first six verses of Surah al-hadid. While standing up, you may then repeat the following holy
verse one thousand times:
You do we serve and You do we iyyaka na`budu wa iyyaka

beseech for help. nasta`¢nu

ْ ‫ﻙ ﹶﻧ‬
َ ‫ﺪ َﻭﹺﺇﻳﱠﺎ‬

You may then accomplish your prayer and praise Almighty Allah.
If your need is not settled, you may repeat this prayer. If it is still not settled, you may repeat it once more and your need
will be settled, Allah willing.
6.Another Prayer for Settling the Needs
The trustworthy Shaykh al-Kulayni, may Allah have mercy upon him, reports in his book of al-Kafi that Àbd al-Rahim al-
Qasim said: I once visited Imam al-Sadiq (à) and said, “May Allah accept me as ransom for you! I have invented a
formula of supplicatory prayer.”The Imam (à) answered, “Save me from your inventions! Whenever a disaster befalls you,
you should have recourse to the Messenger of Allah and offer a two-unit prayer and dedicate it to him, peace be upon him
and his Household.”
“How can I do that?” I asked.The Imam (à) answered, “You should bathe yourself and offer a two-unit prayer, beginning it
with the prefatory part of obligatory prayers and say the tashahhud statement of obligatory prayers. When you finish
saying thetashahhud and tasl¢m statements, you should say the following:
O Allah, You are the (source of)

Sayyid Ibn Tawus, may Allah have mercy upon him, has reported the following: At Friday nights and the night before the
`«d al-A¤ha Day (i.e. the tenth of Dhu’l-°ijjah), you may offer a two-unit prayer. In each unit, recite Surah al-Fatihah, but
when you reach the following verse, you should repeated it one hundred times:

You may then recite the next verses of Surah al-Fatihah and then recite Surah al-Tawh¢d two hundred times. Upon
accomplishment of the prayer, you may repeat the following statement seventy times:

You may then prostrate and repeat the following word of supplication two hundred times:
O my Lord! ya rabbi ‫ﻳَﺎ َﺭﺏﱢ‬
Then, you may pray Almighty Allah for whatever you want, and all your requests will be granted, Allah willing.
This prayer has been reported by a big number of scholars, such as Shaykh al-Muf¢d, al-Tus¢, Sayyid Ibn Tawus, and
many others, from Imam al-Sadiq (à). However, according to the report of Sayyid Ibn Tawus, the way of offering this
prayer is as follows:
When you have an urgent need and you wish Almighty Allah to grant it for you, you may observe fasting on three
successive days; Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Friday, you may bathe yourself, dress yourself with a new, clean
costume, go up to the highest point in your house, and offer a two-unit prayer. Then, you may raise your hands towards
the sky and say the following supplication:

Imam al-Sadiq (à) said, “Many times, I had many needs to be settled by Almighty Allah. I therefore said this supplication
and came back having my need settled for me.”
Etiquettes of Praying for Settling the Needs
In Jamal al-Usbu`, Sayyid Ibn Tawus has mentioned an essay regarding the etiquettes of praying for granting one’s
requests, which can be summed up as follows:
While trying to beseech the All-knowing Lord to grant you your request, you must be at the most modest manner. When
you intend to present yourself before a human king to ask him for granting you a request, you naturally try to attain his
pleasure through all possible means and efforts. Likewise, you must exert all possible efforts to attain the pleasure of the
Almighty and All-majestic Lord when you want Him to grant you your request. Thus, do not beseech Him in a way less
earnest than appealing from human kings; lest, you will fail to win your request because you have been of the scoffers.
How is it then reasonable that you care for the pleasure of the All-majestic Lord less than your care for winning the
pleasure of human kings who are no more than slaves of the Master of the Worlds? Such being the case, you will be
regarded as belittling, scoffing, disdaining, and deriding the grandeur of the All-majestic Lord, and, as a result, you will
never win your request no matter how many prayers you would offer and how many days you would fast.
Moreover, when you fast on a day or offer a prayer for purpose of winning your request from Almighty God, you must not
behave as if you are testing Him; rather, you must have full confidence of His response. As a rule, we, human beings, try
others only when we are suspicious about their ability to do what they are tried to do. About those who suspect Him,
Almighty Allah says, “…the entertainers of evil thoughts about Allah. On them is the evil turn. (48/6)”
Significantly, when you beseech the Lord for granting your request, you must have full confidence in His all-encompassing
mercy, His all-inclusive magnanimity, and His fulfillment of all of His promises.
When you turn your face towards the most generous of all human beings to ask him for an insignificant thing, you will
most certainly be sure that he will grant you that thing after you have asked it from him in the most appropriate way.
Similarly, you must be surer that Almighty Allah Who is the All-generous and the most generous of all those who act
generously that He will grant you your request, which is, in His sight and as compared to His omnipotence, less
insignificant than all insignificant things. Hence, beware that you put confidence in any mortal more than you do with
Almighty Allah.
It is also advisable that when you offer a prayer and fast on a day for purpose of winning your request from God, you must
arrange your worldly requests according to their importance. In fact, the most important of all your requests, no matter
how urgent they be, are the requests of the one under whose shade you are living and whose hospitality you are
experiencing; namely, the Patron of the Age, Imam al-Mahd¢, may Allah’s blessings be upon him.
Then come your requests with regard to your religious faith. Only then do come your personal requests involved.
To explain, when you intend to beseech Almighty Allah to save you from perdition, you may observe fasting with the
intention of praying Him to grant you this very request. In fact, you should have known that winning Almighty Allah’s
amnesty, pleasure, acceptance, and approval is more important than being saved from perdition, because you will
eventually perish whether you like it or not, but if you miss Almighty Allah’s majesty, pleasure, and acceptance, you will
lose this worldly life and the eternal life thus exposing yourself to unbearable and unimaginable misfortunes.
Similarly, as I have advised you to give the requests of the Patron of the Age priority to your personal requests, I only
meant to inform you that the survival of this world and the survival of its inhabitants are contingent upon the existence of
the Patron in this world. Hence, how is it reasonable to give precedence to your personal requests over the requests of
the one without whom you do not live a single moment?
Let it be known to you that the Patron of the Age is in no need for your implorations for him; rather, if you do what I have
just advised you to do, you will then have fulfilled your pledge towards him.
Finally, it is highly recommended to commence your supplicatory prayers with invoking Almighty Allah’s blessings upon
the Holy Infallibles (à).

This is the supplicatory prayer the Holy Prophet (¥) said on the days of the Battle of Badr and the Battle of the Allies (i.e.
al-Ahzab). The chief of martyrs; namely, Imam al-°usayn (à), also said this supplicatory prayer in Karbala' on the `ªshura'
Day.
Furthermore, two more supplicatory prayers were said by Imam al-°usayn (à) on that day. The first one is the supplicatory
prayer he taught to his son Imam Zayn al-`ªbid¢n (à) when he embraced him to his chest while blood was gushing from
his body. Used in urgent cases, intense grief, harsh times, and difficult matters, the supplicatory prayer intended is as
follows:

Eighth: Fa¤l ibn Yunus has reported that Imam al-Kaïm (à) advised him to repeat this supplicatory prayer very much:
O Allah, (please) do not make me allahumma la tajàln¢ min

of the unfixed-hearted almuàr¢na
‫ﻦ‬
َ ‫ﻦ ﭐﹾﻟ ُﻤﻌَﺎﺭﹺﻳ‬
َ ‫ﺠ َﻌ ﹾﻠﻨﹺﻲ ِﻣ‬

‫ﻢ ﹶ‬
and do not make me feel not
negligent.
wa la tukhrijn¢ min alttaq¥¢ri ‫ﻦ ﭐﻟ ﱠﺘ ﹾﻘﺼِﻴ ﹺﺮ‬
ْ ‫ﺨ ﹺﺮ‬
‫َﻭ ﹶ‬
To explain, the first statement is a prayer for not including with those whose faith is as irregular as loans, which means
that faith is not fixed in their hearts. However, the statement may also stand for a prayer for not including with those whom
are relegated to themselves and Allah the Almighty has no interference in their affairs, just like a horse whose rein is
thrown freely on its wither and is left to graze uncontrollably.
The second statement is a prayer for not including with those who feel themselves to have carried out their duties towards
their Lord flawlessly. In fact, one must always feel that he cannot carry out his duties towards his Lord fully whatever
efforts he would exert.
Ninth: Imam al-Baqir (à) is reported to have said: Almighty Allah has forgiven a Bedouin man for two words he said in his
supplicatory prayer. These two words are as follows:
O Allah, if You punish me, then allahumma in tuàdhdhibn¢

this befits me, fa'ahlun lidhalika ana ‫ﻚ ﺍ ﻧﹶﭑ‬
َ ‫ﻞ ِﻟﺬِٰﻟ‬
‫ﺬْﺑﻨﹺﻲ ﻓﹶﺎ ْﻫ ﹲ‬

but if You forgive me, then it befits wa in taghfir l¢ fa'ahlun lidhalika

‫ﻚ ﺍ ﹾﻧ ﹶ‬
َ ‫ﻞ ِﻟﺬِٰﻟ‬
‫ﻥ ﹶﺗ ﹾﻐ ِﻔ ْﺮ ﻟِﻲ ﻓﹶﺎ ْﻫ ﹲ‬
Tenth: Dawud al-Raqq¢ has said: Whenever he insisted in prayers, Imam al-Sadiq (à) would pray Almighty Allah in the
name of the Five Persons: the Holy Prophet, Imam Àl¢, Lady Fa§imah, Imam al-°asan, and Imam al-°usayn, peace be
upon them.
Eleventh: Yaz¢d al-Sa'igh is reported to have said: I asked Imam al-Sadiq (à) to pray Almighty Allah for our good. He
therefore said:
O Allah, (please) endue them with allahumma irzuqhum ¥idqa

Shaykh al-Tus¢, in Mi¥bah al-Mutahajjid, has referred to the above-mentioned supplicatory prayer to be said immediately
after the fourth unit of the Night Prayer. As for al-Majlis¢ (the compiler of Bihar al-Anwar), he reported Imam al-Sadiq (à)
to have recommended saying this prayer in the one-unit al-Witr Prayer (which is performed after the eight-unit Night
Prayer and the two-unit al-Shaf` Prayer at the early dawn).
Twenty-first: The following supplicatory prayer is reportedly ascribed to Abu-Dharr. About it, Archangel Gabriel is
reported to have said to the Holy Prophet (¥), “This supplicatory prayer is well known by the inhabitants of the heavens:”

In fact, this supplicatory prayer comprises highly considerable contents. Its reporter is Àbd al-Rahman in Sayyabah whom
was given a noteworthy advice by Imam al-Sadiq (à). Let us now refer to this event:
Àbd al-Rahman ibn Sayyabah: When my father died, one of his friends came to us and knocked the door. When I opened
the door, he expressed his sympathy to me and then asked whether my father had left any financial inheritance with us.
When I answered in the negative, the man handed me over a bag of one thousand dirhams and advised me to keep them
up, use them in commerce, and gain my living from their profits. Rejoicing at this, I hurried to my mother and informed her
about what had just happened. Later on, I went to one of my father’s friends and asked him to teach me what kind of
business I would do with the money. He therefore advised me to trade in a sort of fine cloth. He also purchased a quantity
of this cloth and I chose a shop to work in. In fact, Almighty Allah provided me with very much profit in this business. In the
season of the hajj pilgrimage, I intended to go on hajj. I therefore informed my mother about this intention of mine and she
advised me to give back the amount of money to its owner. When I did, the man became very happy as if I would donate
him the money for nothing. Nevertheless, he offered to me more money, but I thanked him and informed that I would go
on the hajj pilgrimage. I then left for Makkah and then returned to al-Mad¢nah. With a group of people, I intended to visit
Imam al-Sadiq (à) who used to permit all people to visit him at that time. Within the group that visited the Imam (à), I sat
in the last raw, since I was young. People began to ask the Imam (à), he would answer them all, and they would then
leave. When a few people only remained, the Imam (à) pointed to me to come close to him. “Do you need anything?”
asked the Imam (à). “May Allah accept me as ransom for you! I am Àbd al-Rahman the son of Sayyabah,” answered I.
The Imam (à) asked about my father and I told him that he had died. Expressing sympathy to me, the Imam (à) asked,
“Did he leave any financial inheritance with you?” “No, he did not,” answered I. “How could you then afford this journey of
hajj pilgrimage?” asked the Imam (à). I then told him about the story of these dirhams. Interrupting me, the Imam (à)
asked, “What have you done with these dirhams before you came on hajj pilgrimage?” I answered that I had given back
the amount to its owner. “Well done,” said the Imam (à), “May I advise you of something?” “Yes, you may,” answered I.
He thus said, “If you adhere to telling the truth and fulfilling your trusts, you will have a binding share in the properties of all
people.”
To explain, the Imam (à) advised this man to keep up telling the truth in all of his words, to avoid telling lies, to fulfill his
promises, to give back the debts to their owners in their limited times, to avoid devouring the others’ dues wrongfully. If
one does all that to people, they will give him whenever you ask. If he does so, he will be as if he has a share in their
properties.
Back to the event, Àbd al-Rahman added: As I committed myself with this advice of Imam al-Sadiq (à), I gained so many
profits that the religious tax of which was three hundred thousand dirhams one year.
According to another tradition, the aforementioned supplicatory prayer is ascribed to Imam Àl¢ ibn al-°usayn Zayn al-
`ªbid¢n (à). However, it ends up with this sentence:
(Please) respond, O Lord of the

worlds.
