ANOTHER PRAYER FOR FORGIVENESS

Within the devotional rites on Friday, Shaykh al-Tusi, in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has quoted the following:

‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud is reported to have quoted the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as saying: Whoever offers a two unit prayer on Fridays after the ‘Asr (afternoon) prayer, in the first unit of which he recites Surah al-Faatehah and Ayah al-Kursi and repeats Surah al-Falaq twenty-five times, and in the second unit, he recites Surah al-Faatehah and Surah al-Tawheed and repeats Surah al-Nas twenty-five times and repeats after accomplishment the following statement twenty-five times, will not depart this world before Almighty Allah shows him Paradise in dreams and shows him his place therein:

لا حول و لا قوة الاّ باللّه العلّى العظيم

Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in Jamal al-Usbu’, Chapter: 33, has mentioned a form of prayer for forgiveness. About this prayer, he added, “This is a great and noble prayer that is known well by the bearers of the divine secrets. Hence, beware of belittling this prayer.”
