1407 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَللَّهِ بْنُ سِنَانٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «تَدْعُو فِي اَلْوَتْرِ عَلَى اَلْعَدُوِّ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ سَمَّيْتَهُمْ وَ تَسْتَغْفِرُ وَ تَرْفَعُ يَدَيْكَ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ حِيَالَ وَجْهِكَ وَ إِنْ شِئْتَ فَتَحْتَ ثَوْبَكَ.

Hadith.1407 - It is narrated from ‘Abdullah ibn Sinan that Abu ‘Abdullah (Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "You may supplicate against the enemy during the Witr prayer, and if you wish, you may name them specifically. You should seek forgiveness, raising your hands during the Witr prayer level with your face, or, if you wish, you may open your cloak (covering) while doing so”.

1408 - وَ كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ سَيِّدُ اَلْعَابِدِينَ يَقُولُ: «اَلْعَفْوَ اَلْعَفْوَ» ثَلاَثَمِائَةِ مَرَّةٍ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ فِي اَلسَّحَرِ.

Hadith.1408 - It is narrated that Imam Ali ibn al-Hussain (as), the Master of Worshippers (Zain al-Abidin), used to say, "Al-‘Afw, Al-‘Afw (Pardon, Pardon)" three hundred times during the Witr prayer at the time of Suhoor (the pre-dawn hours).

Hadith.1409 - It is narrated by Ma'ruf ibn Kharbudh from one of them, meaning Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) and Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Recite in the Qunoot of Witr: 'There is no god but Allah (swt), the Forbearing, the Generous. There is no god but Allah (swt), the Most High, the Mighty. Glory be to Allah (swt), the Lord (azj) of the seven heavens and the seven earths, and whatever is within them and between them, and the Lord (azj) of the Great Throne. O’ Allah (swt), You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah (swt), the Ornament of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah (swt), the Beauty of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah (swt), the Pillar of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah (swt), the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah (swt), the Helper of those who cry for help. You are Allah (swt), the Reliever of the distressed. You are Allah (swt), the One who answers the prayer of the distressed. You are Allah (swt), the God of the worlds. You are Allah (swt), the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. You are Allah (swt), the Remover of hardship. You are Allah (swt); with You every need is resolved. O’ Allah (swt), nothing repels Your anger except Your forbearance. Nothing delivers from Your punishment except Your mercy, and nothing can rescue me from You except pleading with You. So grant me, O’ my God, mercy from You that suffices me from the mercy of any other than You, by the power through which You revived all in the lands and by which You revive the dead among Your servants. Do not destroy me with anguish until You forgive me, have mercy on me, and make known to me the response to my supplication. Grant me well-being until the end of my life. Overlook my missteps, do not let my enemies gloat over me, and do not grant them control over me. O’ Allah (swt), if You elevate me, who can bring me down? If You bring me down, who can elevate me? If You destroy me, who can intervene between You and me or interfere in any matter of mine? I know that there is no injustice in Your rule and no haste in Your punishment. The one who rushes is he who fears loss, and only the weak resort to injustice. You are far above all of this, my God. So do not make me a target for affliction, nor a subject for Your wrath. Grant me respite, relieve me, forgive my faults, and do not follow one trial with another. You see my weakness and lack of resources. I seek refuge with You this night, so protect me. I seek Your protection from the Fire, so protect me. I ask You for Paradise, so do not deny it to me.' Then call upon Allah (swt) with whatever you wish and seek His forgiveness seventy times."

1410 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ اَلثُّمَالِيِّ قَالَ: كَانَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَلْحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ فِي آخِرِ وَتْرِهِ وَ هُوَ قَائِمٌ « رَبِّ أَسَأْتُ وَ ظَلَمْتُ نَفْسِي وَ بِئْسَ مَا صَنَعْتُ وَ هَذِهِ يَدَايَ جَزَاءً بِمَا صَنَعَتَا » قَالَ ثُمَّ يَبْسُطُ يَدَيْهِ جَمِيعاً قُدَّامَ وَجْهِهِ وَ يَقُولُ: « وَ هَذِهِ رَقَبَتِي خَاضِعَةٌ لَكَ لِمَا أَتَتْ » قَالَ ثُمَّ يُطَأْطِئُ رَأْسَهُ وَ يَخْضَعُ بِرَقَبَتِهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ: « وَ هَا أَنَا ذَا بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ فَخُذْ لِنَفْسِكَ اَلرِّضَا مِنْ نَفْسِي حَتَّى تَرْضَى لَكَ اَلْعُتْبَى لاَ أَعُودُ لاَ أَعُودُ لاَ أَعُودُ » قَالَ وَ كَانَ وَ اَللَّهِ إِذَا قَالَ «لاَ أَعُودُ» لَمْ يَعُدْ.

Hadith.1410 - It is narrated by Abu Hamzah al-Thumali that Imam Ali ibn al-Hussain (as) would say in the last part of his Witr prayer while standing: Rabbi as’atu wa zhalamtu nafsi wa bi’sa ma sana‘tu wa hadhihi yadayya jaza’an bima sana‘ata "My Lord (azj), I have committed wrongs and wronged myself, and what a terrible thing I have done. Here are my hands as recompense for what they have done." Then he would raise both his hands before his face and say: Wa hadhihi raqabati khadi‘atun laka lima atat "And here is my neck, humbled before You for what it has done." He would then bow his head and humble his neck and continue: Wa ha ana dha bayna yadayka fakhudh linafsika ar-rida min nafsi hatta tarda. Laka al-‘utba, la a‘ood, la a‘ood, la a‘ood "Here I am before You; take from my soul the satisfaction that pleases You until You are content. To You belongs all repentance. I will not return, I will not return, I will not return [to sin]." It is reported that by Allah (swt), when He said: "I will not return," he never returned [to the sin].

1411 - وَ رَوَى عَبْدُ اَلرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَنِ اَلصَّادِقِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «اَلْقُنُوتُ فِي اَلْوَتْرِ اِسْتِغْفَارٌ وَ فِي اَلْفَرِيضَةِ اَلدُّعَاءُ.

Hadith.1411 - It is narrated by Abdur-Rahman ibn Abi Abdullah from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that He said: "The Qunoot (supplication) in the Witr prayer is for seeking forgiveness, while in the obligatory (prayers) it is for supplication (general prayers)”.

1412 - وَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَدْعُو فِي قُنُوتِ اَلْوَتْرِ بِهَذَا اَلدُّعَاءِ « اَللَّهُمَّ خَلَقْتَنِي بِتَقْدِيرٍ وَ تَدْبِيرٍ وَ تَبْصِيرٍ بِغَيْرِ تَقْصِيرٍ وَ أَخْرَجْتَنِي مِنْ «ظُلُمٰاتٍ ثَلاٰثٍ » بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ أُحَاوِلُ اَلدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ أُزَاوِلُهَا ثُمَّ أُزَايِلُهَا وَ آتَيْتَنِي فِيهَا اَلْكَلَأَ وَ اَلْمَرْعَى وَ بَصَّرْتَنِي فِيهَا اَلْهُدَى فَنِعْمَ اَلرَّبُّ أَنْتَ وَ نِعْمَ اَلْمَوْلَى فَيَا مَنْ كَرَّمَنِي وَ شَرَّفَنِي وَ نَعَّمَنِي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ اَلزَّقُّومِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ اَلْحَمِيمِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ مَقِيلٍ فِي اَلنَّارِ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِ اَلنَّارِ فِي ظِلاَلِ اَلنَّارِ يَوْمَ اَلنَّارِ يَا رَبَّ اَلنَّارِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مَقِيلاً فِي اَلْجَنَّةِ بَيْنَ أَنْهَارِهَا وَ أَشْجَارِهَا وَ ثِمَارِهَا وَ رَيْحَانِهَا وَ خَدَمِهَا وَ أَزْوَاجِهَا اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ اَلْخَيْرِ رِضْوَانَكَ وَ اَلْجَنَّةَ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ اَلشَّرِّ سَخَطِكَ وَ اَلنَّارِ هَذَا مَقَامُ اَلْعَائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ اَللَّهُمَّ اِجْعَلْ خَوْفَكَ فِي جَسَدِي كُلِّهِ وَ اِجْعَلْ قَلْبِي أَشَدَّ مَخَافَةً لَكَ مِمَّا هُوَ وَ اِجْعَلْ لِي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ وَ لَيْلَةٍ حَظّاً وَ نَصِيباً مِنْ عَمَلٍ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَ اِتِّبَاعِ مَرْضَاتِكَ اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ مُنْتَهَى غَايَتِي وَ رَجَائِي وَ مَسْأَلَتِي وَ طَلِبَتِي أَسْأَلُكَ يَا إِلَهِي كَمَالَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَ تَمَامَ اَلْيَقِينِ وَ صِدْقَ اَلتَّوَكُّلِ عَلَيْكَ وَ حُسْنَ اَلظَّنِّ بِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي اِجْعَلْ إِحْسَانِي مُضَاعَفاً وَ صَلاَتِي تَضَرُّعاً وَ دُعَائِي مُسْتَجَاباً وَ عَمَلِي مَقْبُولاً وَ سَعْيِي مَشْكُوراً وَ ذَنْبِي مَغْفُوراً وَ لَقِّنِي مِنْكَ «نَضْرَةً وَ سُرُوراً» وَ صَلَّى اَللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ.

Hadith.1412 - The Commander of the Faithful Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (as) would supplicate in the Qunoot of Witr with this supplication: "O’ Allah (swt), You created me with precise measurement, arrangement, and foresight without any negligence. You brought me out of 'three layers of darkness' by Your strength and power. I attempt to engage with this world, then I turn away from it, and then I leave it behind. You provided me with sustenance and care in it and guided me within it, so blessed is the Lord (azj) and excellent is the Master. O’ the One who honored and elevated me and bestowed upon me Your bounties, I seek refuge in You from the tree of Zaqqum, I seek refuge in You from boiling water (al-Hameem), and I seek refuge in You from a resting place in the Fire, amidst the layers of the Fire, under the shadows of the Fire on the Day of Fire. O’ Lord (azj) of the Fire! O’ Allah (swt), I ask You for a place to rest in Paradise among its rivers, trees, fruits, sweet scents, attendants, and spouses. O’ Allah (swt), I ask You for the best of all good—Your pleasure and Paradise, and I seek refuge in You from the worst of all evil—Your wrath and the Fire. This is the station of one seeking refuge in You from the Fire." (He would repeat this three times). "O’ Allah (swt), place Your fear throughout my body and make my heart fear You more intensely than it does now. Grant me, in every day and night, a share and portion of deeds dedicated to Your obedience and seeking Your pleasure. O’ Allah (swt), You are the ultimate aim of my efforts, my hope, my requests, and my needs. I ask You, O’ my God, for perfect faith, complete certainty, sincere reliance upon You, and a good opinion of You, my Master. Multiply my good deeds, make my prayers an expression of humility, accept my supplications, approve of my actions, thank my efforts, forgive my sins, and grant me 'radiance and joy' from You. May Allah (swt) bless Muhammad and his family."

1414 - وروى عنه زرارة أنه قال: " القنوت في كل الصلوات.

Hadith.1414 - Zurarah narrated from Him (Imam Abu Ja'far (as)) that He said: "Qunoot (a supplication) is to be recited in all prayers."

1415 - وَ رَوَى أَبَانُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ عَنِ اَلْحَلَبِيِّ: أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ أُسَمِّي اَلْأَئِمَّةَ عَلَيهِمُ اَلسَّلاَمُ فِي اَلصَّلاَةِ فَقَالَ «أَجْمِلْهُمْ.

Hadith.1415 - Aban ibn Uthman narrated from Al-Halabi that he said to Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as): "Shall I mention the names of the Imams (as) during the prayer?" Imam (as) replied: "Summarize them”.

1416 - وقال عليه السلام: " كل ما ناجيت به ربك في الصلاة فليس بكلام.

Hadith.1416 - Imam (as) said: "Whatever you whisper to your Lord (azj) in prayer is not considered speech”.

1417 - وَ رُوِيَ عَنْ أَبِي وَلاَّدٍ حَفْصِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ اَلْحَنَّاطِ أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ يَقُولُ: «لاَ بَأْسَ بِأَنْ يُصَلِّيَ اَلرَّجُلُ رَكْعَتَيْنِ مِنَ اَلْوَتْرِ ثُمَّ يَنْصَرِفَ فَيَقْضِيَ حَاجَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعَ فَيُصَلِّيَ رَكْعَةً.

Hadith.1417 - It is narrated from Abu Walad Hafs bin Salim Al-Hannat that He said: "I heard Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) say, 'There is no harm if a person prays two units (rak‘ahs) of Witr prayer, then turns away to fulfil a need, and then returns to pray one unit (rak‘ah).'".
