Another supplication of Imam Mahdi in the month of Rajab
Shekh al-Ṭūsi has narrated that a document signed by Imam al-Mahdi was received by Shaykh Abu’l-Qāsim, Ḥusayn b. Rūḥ (the third special deputy of the Imam), mentioning that the following supplication is recommended to be recited in the month of Rajab:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحیم
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.
اللّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِالْمَوْلُودَيْنِ فِي رَجَبٍ
O Allah: I beseech You in the name of those who were born in Rajab,
مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الثَّانِي وَابْنِهِ عَلِيٍّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُنْتَجَبِ،
Muhammad ibn `Ali II and his son `Ali ibn Muhammad, the divinely selected.
وَأَتَقَرَّبُ بِهِمَا إلَيْكَ خَيْرَ الْقُرَبِ،
And I seek nearness to You through both of them for they are the best means of nearness to You.
يَا مَنْ إلَيْهِ الْمَعْرُوفُ طُلِبَ،
O He from Whom favors are sought,
وَفِيمَا لَدَيْهِ رُغِبَ،
and what He possesses is desired;
أَسْأَلُكَ سُؤَالَ مُقْتَرِفٍ مُذْنِبٍ قَدْ أَوْبَقَتْهُ ذُنُوبُهُ،
I beseech You with the entreaty of him whom is enchained by his sins
وَأَوْثَقَتْهُ عُيُوبُهُ،
and is bound by his defects;
فَطَالَ عَلَى الْخَطَايَا دُؤُوبُهُ،
therefore, he devoted himself to offenses
وَمِنَ الرَّزَايَا خُطُوبُهُ،
and disasters have attacked him heavily.
يَسْأَلُكَ التَّوْبَةَ،
He is now begging You for accepting his repentance;
وَحُسْنَ الأوْبَةِ،
and for good return from You;
وَالنُّزُوعَ عَنِ الْحَوْبَةِ،
and for redeeming from punishment;
وَمِنَ النَّارِ فَكَاكَ رَقَبَتِهِ،
and for releasing from Hellfire;
وَالْعَفْوَ عَمَّا فِي رِبْقَتِهِ،
and for overlooking the sins that are hanged to him.
فَأَنْتَ مَوْلايَ أَعْظَمُ أَمَلِهِ وَثِقَتِهِ.
Certainly, You, O my Master, the greatest hope and desire that He has.
اللّهُمَّ وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِمَسَائِلِكَ الشَّرِيفَةِ،
And, O Allah, I beg You by all the holy means that You admit
وَوَسَائِلِكَ الْمُنِيفَةِ أَنْ تَتَغَمَّدَنِي فِي هذَا الشَّهْرِ بِرَحْمَةٍ مِنْكَ وَاسِعَةٍ،
and by all the elevated courses that take to You, that You, in this month, encompass me with vast mercy of You,
وَنِعْمَةٍ وَازِعَةٍ،
with abundant favors,
وَنَفْسٍ بِمَا رَزَقْتَهَا قَانِعَةٍ،
and with satisfaction with what You have decided for myself
إلَى نُزُولِ الْحَافِرَةِ،
until I am put in my final hole,
وَمَحَلِّ الآخِرَةِ،
which is my abode to the Hereafter
. وَمَا هِيَ إلَيْهِ صَائِرَةٌ
and the Final Fate.
