- views2 min read

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.
