4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Musa ibn Bakr who has said the following: “Abu Ibrahim (a.s.) had written the following for me on a piece of paper: ‘O Lord, return to all of such of Your creatures whose usurped belongings may exist with me, in small or large amounts, with ease and good health and for whatever of such items that my ability, body, certainty, my soul and belongings are not sufficient, enough and able, pay and fulfill them on my behalf from the abundance with You, through Your generosity. Do not leave on me anything (debts) that You will pay off from my good deeds, O the Most Beneficent, of the beneficent ones. I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, Who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger that religion is as He has sanctioned that Islam is as He has described that the book is as He has revealed, that the word is as He has spoken, that Allah is the clear Truth. Allah has mentioned Muhammad and his family with words of goodness and has greeted Muhammad and his family with the greeting of peace.’”

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma’Il ibn Bazi’ from abu Isma’Il al-Sarraj from ibn Muskan from abu Hamza who has said the following: “O abu Hamza, if you will face something that frightens you, go to a comer of your home, face the Qiblah and perform two Rak’at (a prayer consisting of two times bowing on one’s knees) prayer then say, ‘O the most sharp-sighted of the on-lookers, O the most kind of hearing of the hearers, O the quickest to judge and O the most Beneficent of the benefactors,’ seventy times, each time ask for your wish.’”

2. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from ‘Abd al- Rahman ibn abu Najran from ‘Asim ibn Hamid from Thabit from Asma’ who has said the following: “The Messenger of Allah has said, ‘Whoever suffers from sorrow, pain, misfortune or poverty should say, “Allah is My Lord and I do not associate any partner with Him, I place my trust in the Living One who does not die.’”

3ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا نَزَلَتْ بِرَجُلٍ نَازِلَةٌ أَوْ شَدِيدَةٌ أَوْ كَرَبَهُ أَمْرٌ فَلْيَكْشِفْ عَنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَذِرَاعَيْهِ وَلْيُلْصِقْهُمَا بِالأرْضِ وَلْيُلْزِقْ جُؤْجُؤَهُ بِالأرْضِ ثُمَّ لْيَدْعُ بِحَاجَتِهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ.

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hisham ibn Salim from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “If one suffers from a misfortune, a hardship, or something causes him pain he should uncover his knees, and elbows and touch the ground with his chest then plead before Allah for help, in a prostrating position.’”

4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ الدَّهَّانِ عَنْ مِسْمَعٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ لَمَّا طَرَحَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ يُوسُفَ فِي الْجُبِّ أَتَاهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا غُلامُ مَا تَصْنَعُ هَاهُنَا فَقَالَ إِنَّ إِخْوَتِي أَلْقَوْنِي فِي الْجُبِّ قَالَ فَتُحِبُّ أَنْ تَخْرُجَ مِنْهُ قَالَ ذَاكَ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِنْ شَاءَ أَخْرَجَنِي قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ إِنَّ الله تَعَالَى يَقُولُ لَكَ ادْعُنِي بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ حَتَّى أُخْرِجَكَ مِنَ الْجُبِّ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَمَا الدُّعَاءُ فَقَالَ قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ لا إِلَهَ إِلا أَنْتَ الْمَنَّانُ بَدِيعُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأرْضِ ذُو الْجَلالِ وَالإكْرَامِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ فَرَجاً وَمَخْرَجاً قَالَ ثُمَّ كَانَ مِنْ قِصَّتِهِ مَا ذَكَرَ الله فِي كِتَابِهِ.

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from al-Hassan ibn ‘Ammar al-Dahhan from Misma’ from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When Joseph’s brothers threw him in the well, Jibril (Gabriel) came to him and asked, ‘O young man, what are you doing here?’ He replied, ‘My brothers have thrown me in the well.’ Jibril (Gabriel) asked, ‘Would you like to get out of the well?’ He said, ‘That is up to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, if He wills. He will take me out.’ Jibril (Gabriel) said, ‘Allah, the Most High, says you should plead before Him for help with this supplication so He takes you out of the well.’ He then asked, ‘What is that supplication?’ Jibril (Gabriel) told him to say, ‘O Lord, I plead before You, acknowledging that all praise belongs to You, no one deserves to be worshipped except You, Who confers favors, the Inventor of the heavens and earth. Possessor of glory and magnanimity, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, find a way out of the condition in which I am.’ The Imam said, ‘What happened to Joseph thereafter is what Allah has mentioned in His book, the Holy Quran.’” (See Chapter 12 of the Holy Quran)

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Isma’Il from abu Isma’Il al-Sarraj from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The supplication of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) against Dawud ibn Ali when he murdered Mu’alla ibn Khunays and seized the property of Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) was this supplication: ‘O Lord, I plead before You through Your light that does not extinguish, through Your determination that is not hidden, through Your majesty that never ends, through Your bounties that are beyond enumeration and through Your authority with which You prevented the Pharaoh from harming Moses.’”

6ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ جَابِرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) فِي الْهَمِّ قَالَ تَغْتَسِلُ وَتُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَتَقُولُ يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ وَيَا كَاشِفَ الْغَمِّ يَا رَحْمَانَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَرَحِيمَهُمَا فَرِّجْ هَمِّي وَاكْشِفْ غَمِّي يَا الله الْوَاحِدُ الأحَدُ الصَّمَدُ الَّذِي لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ اعْصِمْنِي وَطَهِّرْنِي وَاذْهَبْ بِبَلِيَّتِي وَاقْرَأْ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ وَالْمُعَوِّذَتَيْنِ.

6. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from certain individuals of his people from Isma’Il ibn Jabir from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When you are concerned about something, take a shower and perform two Rak’at (a prayer consisting of two times bowing down on one’s knees) prayer and say, ‘O the One who clears up concerns, removes sorrow, O the Beneficent for this world and the next and the Merciful for both, change my concern to happiness, remove my sorrow, O Allah, the One and only Self- sufficient, who is not born from anyone nor has given birth to anyone, the like of whom there is no one, protect me, cleanse me and remove my misfortune,’ then read verse 255 of Chapter 2, Chapter 1 14 and 1 13 of the Holy Quran.”

7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from Sama’a from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “When you are afraid of something say, ‘O Lord, no one is an alternative for You and You are the alternative for everyone of Your creatures, suffice me in such and such matters.’” “In another Hadith the Imam (a.s.) has instructed to say this, ‘O the One who suffices in everything and nothing is sufficient for Him in the heavens and earth, suffice me in what is important to me of worldly and the hereafter and bestow al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.’ “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) has also said, ‘If anyone feels apprehensive in the presence of a ruler, he should say, “By the help of Allah, I seek conquest, by the power of Allah I will achieve success and through Muhammad (a.s.) I turn to (Allah). O Lord, ease up his difficult attitude for me, and soften for me his hardheartedness; You delete what You will, and establish. With You there is the original book.” Also say, ‘Allah is sufficient for me, no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah and I place my trust in Allah. He is the Lord of the Great Throne, through the means of Allah and His power I seek (from Allah) to prevent their means and power (from harming me), I seek prevention by the Lord, who opens up the dawn, against the evil of what He has created, there are no means and no power without Allah.’”

8. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from A number of our people have narrated in a marfu’ manner from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Of the supplications of my father (a.s.) in an event was this: ‘O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, forgive me, have mercy upon me, purify my deeds, make my return easy, guide my heart, bestow upon me security against my fear, good health during all of my life, establish firmly basic proofs of my belief, forgive my sins, whiten my face, safeguard me in my religion, accept with ease my request, expand my sustenance; I am weak, overlook my evil deeds with the virtue before You, do not cause me pain in myself, or my good friends, grant me an opportunity of Your opportunities with which You will take away all such matters with which You have placed me in trial and in return for it (trials) confer upon me with the best of Your habits with me. My power has become weak, my patience is thinning out, my hope in Your creatures is lost, no hope is left except You and 1 have placed my trust before You. Your power over me, O Lord, to have mercy upon me and bestow upon me good health is just like Your power over me to punish and afflict me with misfortunes. O Lord, speaking of Your kindness comforts me; the hope in Your reward strengthens me. I have never been without Your bounties from the time You created me. You are my Lord, my master, my source of help, my refuge, my protector, my defender, my benevolent, and the undertaker of my sustenance. In Your determinations and decisions whatever is about me, O my Lord, my master, in whatever way You are to determine or decide or finalize make it to be a quick relief for me from all of my sufferings, and good health for me; I do not find anyone to remove it from me except You and no one to rely on except You. O Possessor of glory and magnanimity be with the best of my hopes in You and my wishes, have mercy upon me as I plead, upon my desperation, upon the weakness of my foundation (body), and oblige me with such kindness and all supplicants to You, O the Most Beneficent of the benefactors, and bestow al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.’”
