HIRZ E HAZRAT FATIMAH (S)

BRIEF SUPPLICATORY AND EVIL-REPELLING PRAYERS

This section comprises a number of brief supplicatory and evil-repelling prayers that I have selected from the two books entitled Muhaj al-Da’awat and al-Mujtana compiled by Sayyid Razi al-Din Ibn Tawus.

First: Imam Musa ibn Ja’far (‘a) is reported to have quoted the Holy Prophet (s) as instructing Imam ‘Ali (‘a) to say this supplicatory prayer whenever a hardship would bother him:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدِ وَ اَنْ تُنْجِيَنى مِنْ هذَا الْغَمِّ

LADY FATIMAH’S EVIL-REPELLING PRAYER

Second: This evil-repelling prayer is ascribed to Lady Fatimah (‘a):

بِسْمِ اللَّه الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ يا حَىُّ يا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اَسْتَغيثُ فَاَغِثْنى وَلا تَكِلْنى اِلى نَفْسى طَرْفَةَ عَيْنِ اَبَداً وَ اَصْلِحْ لى شَاْنى كُلَّهُ
