NAMAZ HADIYAH MASOOMEEN (A)

The Infallible Imams (a.s.) are reported to have said that a servant (of Allah) may offer eight units of prayer on Friday, separating each couple of units with the Taslim statement. Four of these units may be dedicated to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) while the other four units to Lady Fatimah (a.s.).

On Saturday, other four units of prayer are offered and dedicated to Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen(a.s.). Likewise, four units of prayer may be offered every day and dedicated to one of the Holy Imams respectively. Thus, on Thursday, four units are offered and dedicated to Imam Ja’far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq(a.s.). On Friday, eight units of prayer are offered; four of them are dedicated to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and four to Lady Fatimah (a.s.). On Saturday, four units of prayer are offered and dedicated to Imam Musa ibn Ja’far al-Kazim (a.s.). Likewise, four units of prayer may be offered every day and dedicated to one of the Holy Imams respectively. Hence, on Thursday, the four units of prayer are dedicated to Imam al-Mahdi the Patron of the Age, may Allah hasten his reappearance. The supplicatory prayer to be said between each couple of units is the following:

اَللّهُمَّ اَنْتَ السَّلامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلامُ وَ اِلَيْكَ يَعُودُ السَّلامُ حَيِّنا رَبَّنا مِنْكَ بِالسَّلامِ اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّ هذِهِ الرَّكَعاتِ هَدِيَّةٌ مِنّا اِلى وَلِيِّكَ

You should mention the name of the Imam to whom these units are dedicated.

فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ بَلِّغْهُ اِيّاها وَاَعْطِنى اَفْضَلَ اَمَلى وَ رَجآئى فيكَ وَ فى رَسُولِكَ صَلَواتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ فيهِ

You may now pray Almighty Allah for any thing you wish.
