DUA FOR SEEKING FORGIVENESS WHICH LEADS TO MORE KNOWLEDGE & MORE FORTUNE

Another tradition reported from Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) holds: He who says the following imploration for Almighty Allah’s forgiveness four hundred times each day for two successive months, will be granted much knowledge or much fortune:

اَسْتَغْفِرُاللّٰهَ الَّذى لا اِلهَ اِلاّ هُوَ الْحَىُّ الْقَيُّومُ الرَّحْمنُ الرَّحيمُ بَديعُ السَّمواتِ وَالاَْرْضِ مِنْ جَميعِ ظُلْمى وَ جُرْمى وَ اِسْرافى عَلى نَفْسى وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْهِ

Al-Tusi and other scholars have stated that it is a highly recommended tradition to say the following supplicatory prayer every day:

اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْمُشْرِقِ الْحَىِّ الْباقىِ الْكَريمِ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الْقُدُّوسِ الَّذى اَشْرَقَتْ بِهِ السَّمواتُ وَانْكَشَفَتْ بِهِ الظُّلُماتُ وَ صَلُحَ عَلَيْهِ اَمْرُ الاَْوَّلينَ وَالاْ خِرينَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اَنْ تُصْلِحَ لى شَاْنى كُلَّهُ

Al-Kaf’ami has reported Imam al-Baqir (a.s.) as saying: He who says the following supplication every day, Almighty Allah will suffice him from the troubles of his two abodes (i.e. the worldly life and the Next Life):

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ حَسْبِىَ اللّٰهُ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ خَيْرَ اُمُورى كُلِّها وَ اَعُوذُبِكَ مِنْ خِزْىِ الدُّنْيا وَ عَذابِ الاْخِرَةِ

It is also reported that whoever repeats the following litany seven times every day, Almighty Allah will suffice him from the troubles of his two abodes:

حَسْبِىَ اللّٰهُ رَبِّىَ اللّٰهُ لا اِلهَ اِلاّ هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظيمِ

It has been also reported that whoever says the following words of glorification every day for a whole year, will not die before he sees (in dream) his place in Paradise:

سُبْحانَ الدّآئِمِ الْقآئِمِ سُبْحانَالْقآئِمِ الدّآئِمِ سُبْحانَالْواحِدِ الاَْحَدِ سُبْحانَ الْفَرْدِ الصَّمَدِ سُبْحانَ الْحَىِّ الْقَيُّومِ سُبْحانَ اللّٰهِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحانَ الْحَىِّ الَّذى لايَمُوتُ سُبْحانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ سُبْحانَ رَبِّ الْمَلائِكَةِ وَالرُّوحِ سُبْحانَ الْعَلِىِّ الاَْعْلى سُبْحانَهُ وَ تَعالى
