Devotional Acts At Imām al-Ṣādiq’s Bench
You may then walk to Imām al-Ṣādiq’s place (Maqām al-Ṣādiq), which is near to the tomb of Muslim b. ʿAqīl. You may offer there a two-unit prayer; and when you finish and say the Tasbīḥ statements, you may then say the following supplicatory prayer:
يَا صَانِعَ كُلِّ مَصْنُوعٍ وَيَا جَابِرَ كُلِّ كَسِيرٍ وَيَا حَاضِرَ كُلِّ مَلَإٍ وَيَا شَاهِدَ كُلِّ نَجْوَى |
yā ¥āni`a kulli ma¥n£`in wa yā jābira kulli kas¢rin wa yā ¦ā¤ira kulli malan wa yā shāhida kulli najwā |
O He who makes all things made! O He who sets all things broken! O He who is present in all sessions held! O He who witnesses all confidential meetings! |
وَيَا عَالِمَ كُلِّ خَفِيِّةٍ وَيَا شَاهِداً غَيْرَ غَائِبٍ وَيَا غَالِباً غَيْرَ مَغْلُوبٍ وَيَا قَرِيباً غَيْرَ بَعِيدٍ |
wa yā `ālima kulli khafiyyatin wa yā shāhidan ghayra ghā’ibin wa yā ghāliban ghayra maghl£bin wa yā qar¢ban ghatra ba`¢din |
O He who knows about all things hidden! O He who is always nearby and is never absent! O He who always overcomes and is never defeated! O He who is always nigh and is never far off! |
وَيَا مُؤْنِسَ كُلِّ وَحِيدٍ وَيَا حَيّاً حِينَ لاَ حَيَّ غَيْرُهُ يَا مُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتَى وَمُمِيتَ الأحْيَاءِ |
wa yā mu'nisa kulli wa¦¢din wa yā ¦ayyan ¦¢na lā ¦ayya ghayruh£ yā mu¦yiya almawtā wa mum¢ta al-a¦yā'i |
O He who entertains each and every lonely one! O He who existed when there was no other being exists! O He who restores lives to the dead and causes the alive to die! |
الْقَائِمُ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفْسٍ بِمَا كَسَبَتْ لاَ إِلهَ إِلاَّ أنْتَ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ… |
alqā'imu `alā kulli nafsin bimā kasabat lā ilāha illā anta ¥alli `alā muḥammadin wa āli muḥammadin… |
O He who watches every soul as to what it earns! There is no god save You. (Please do) send blessings upon Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad and… |
You may then mention your needs.
