Ali ibn Hatim, from Muhammad ibn Abi Abdillah, from Sa’ad ibn Abdillah, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abd al-Malik al-Qummi, from his brother Idris ibn Abdillah, who said: I heard Aba Abdillah عليه السلام, say: “When you finish the prayer, then say this supplication: ‘O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I submit to You عز وجل through obedience to You عز وجل, And through allegiance to You عز وجل, And through allegiance to Your Messenger, And the allegiance to the Imams عليه السلام, peace be upon them, from the first of them to the last of them.’” (And name the Imams عليه السلام, peace be upon them) (Imam عليه السلام then continued) “Then say: ‘Ameen’. I submit to You through obedience to them. And (I submit to You عز وجل through) their allegiance, And acceptance of what You عز وجل have favored them with, without denial and without arrogance toward the meaning of what You عز وجل revealed in Your Book, according to the boundaries of what has come to us concerning it and what has not come to us. I am a believer, acknowledging that before You عز وجل, submitting, And content with what You عز وجل have been pleased with, O’ Lord عز وجل. I seek through it Your countenance and the Abode of the Hereafter, in fear and in hope toward You عز وجل. So keep me alive upon it as long as You عز وجل give me life, And cause me to die upon it when You عز وجل cause me to die, And resurrect me upon it when You عز وجل resurrect me. And if there has been from me any shortcoming in what has passed, then I repent to You عز وجل from it, and I turn eagerly to what is with You عز وجل. And I ask You عز وجل to protect me from disobeying You عز وجل, And not to leave me to myself for the blink of an eye ever as long as You عز وجل keep me alive, not for less than that and not for more. “Indeed, the soul is ever-inclined to evil,” (Surah Yusuf 12:53) except for whom You عز وجل have mercy, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful. And I ask You عز وجل to protect me through Your obedience until You عز وجل cause me to die upon it while You عز وجل are pleased with me, And that You عز وجل seal (my life) for me with happiness, And never turn me away from it ever. And there is no power except through You عز وجل.” Then supplicate with whatever you wish. When you finish the supplication, go into prostration and say in your prostration: “My worn-out, bleak face has prostrated before Your everlasting, magnificent Face. My humbled face has prostrated before Your Mighty Face. My needy face has prostrated before Your Rich, Generous Face. My Lord عز وجل, Indeed, I seek Your forgiveness for what has passed, And I seek Your forgiveness for what is to come. My Lord عز وجل, do not make my trials overwhelming. My Lord عز وجل, do not make Your decree concerning me evil. My Lord عز وجل, do not make my enemies rejoice over me. My Lord عز وجل, there is no repeller and no preventer except You عز وجل. My Lord عز وجل, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with the best of Your blessings, and bless (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم with the finest of Your blessings. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I seek refuge in You عز وجل from Your overwhelming might, And I seek refuge in You عز وجل from Your punishments, And I seek refuge in You عز وجل from all of Your wrath and displeasure. Glory be to You عز وجل. You عز وجل are Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord of the worlds.”
