Fourth: Shaykh al-Tusi has also mentioned that the following supplicatory prayer is advisedly repeated each day in Rajab:

اَللّٰهُمَّ يَا ذَا الْمِنَنِ السَّابِغَةِ

O Allah, the Lord of the complete favors,

وَ الْآلَاءِ الْوَازِعَةِ

the utter bounties,

وَ الرَّحْمَةِ الْوَاسِعَةِ

the immense mercy,

وَ الْقُدْرَةِ الْجَامِعَةِ

the all-embracing power,

وَ النِّعَمِ الْجَسِيْمَةِ

the vast graces,

وَ الْمَوَاهِبِ الْعَظِيْمَةِ

the great bestowals,

وَ الْاَيَادِي الْجَمِيْلَةِ

the nice gifts,

وَ الْعَطَايَا الْجَزِيْلَةِ

and the abundant donations!

يَا مَنْ لَا يُنْعَتُ بِتَمْثِيْلٍ

O He Who is not resembled to anything,

وَ لَا يُمَثَّلُ بِنَظِيْرٍ

is not likened to any match,

وَ لَا يُغْلَبُ بِظَهِيْرٍ

and is not overcome by any supported one!

يَا مَنْ خَلَقَ فَرَزَقَ

O He Who has created and then granted sustenance,

وَ اَلْهَمَ فَاَنْطَقَ

has inspired to understand and then made speech,

وَ ابْتَدَعَ فَشَرَعَ

has made and then enacted laws,

وَ عَلَا فَارْتَفَعَ

has risen high and then elevated,

وَ قَدَّرَ فَاَحْسَنَ

has estimated so perfectly,

وَ صَوَّرَ فَاَتْقَنَ

has shaped so excellently,

وَ احْتَجَّ فَاَبْلَغَ

has provided arguments so conclusively,

وَ اَنْعَمَ فَاَسْبَغَ

has bestowed so completely,

وَ اَعْطَىٰ فَاَجْزَلَ

has granted so abundantly,

وَ مَنَحَ فَاَفْضَلَ

and has conferred so favorably!

يَا مَنْ سَمَا فِي الْعِزِّ

O He Who has elevated so honorably

فَفَاتَ نَوَاظِرَ [خَوَاطِرَ] الْاَبْصَارِ

that all sights have missed Him,

وَ دَنَا فِي اللُّطْفِ

and has approached so gently

فَجَازَ هَوَاجِسَ الْاَفْكَارِ

that He has passed all apprehensions!

يَا مَنْ تَوَحَّدَ بِالْمُلْكِ

O He Who has possessed so incomparably

فَلَا نِدَّ لَهُ فِي مَلَكُوْتِ سُلْطَانِهِ

that no peer can ever be found for Him in the domination of His power

وَ تَفَرَّدَ بِالْآلَاءِ وَ الْكِبْرِيَاءِ

and has been so matchless in bounties and pride

فَلَا ضِدَّ لَهُ فِي جَبَرُوْتِ شَاْنِهِ

that nothing can oppose Him in the omnipotence of His situation!

يَا مَنْ حَارَتْ فِي كِبْرِيَاءِ هَيْبَتِهِ دَقَاۤئِقُ لَطَاۤئِفِ الْاَوْهَامِ

O He, the pride of Whose dignity has perplexed even the finest allusions

وَ انْحَسَرَتْ دُوْنَ اِدْرَاكِ عَظَمَتِهِ خَطَاۤئِفُ اَبْصَارِ الْاَنَامِ

and Whose greatness cannot be recognized by even the twinkling of the people’s sights!

يَا مَنْ عَنَتِ الْوُجُوْهُ لِهَيْبَتِهِ،

O He before Whose dignity all faces have humbled themselves,

وَ خَضَعَتِ الرِّقَابُ لِعَظَمَتِهِ

to Whose greatness all necks submitted,

وَ وَجِلَتِ الْقُلُوبُ مِنْ خِيفَتِهِ

and Whom is feared by all hearts!

اَسْاَلُكَ بِهٰذِهِ الْمِدْحَةِ الَّتِيْ لَا تَنْبَغِيْ اِلَّا لَكَ

I pray to You in the name of this piece of praise that none deserves save You,

وَ بِمَا وَاَيْتَ بِهِ عَلٰى نَفْسِكَ لِدَاعِيْكَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ

in the name of that which You have made incumbent upon Yourself for the believers who pray to You,

وَ بِمَا ضَمِنْتَ الْاِجَابَةَ فِيهِ عَلٰى نَفْسِكَ لِلدَّاعِيْنَ

and in the name of Your guaranteeing response for those who supplicate to You.

يَا اَسْمَعَ السَّامِعِيْنَ

O best hearer of all those who can hear!

وَ اَبْصَرَ النَّاظِرِيْنَ

O best seer of all those who can see!

وَ اَسْرَعَ الْحَاسِبِيْنَ

O swiftest in calling to account!

يَا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِيْنَ

O Lord of Power, O Strong!

صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ خَاتَمِ النَّبِيِّيْنَ وَ عَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ

(Please do) bless Muhammad, the seal of the Prophets, and his Household,

وَ اقْسِمْ لِي فِي شَهْرِنَا هٰذَا خَيْرَ مَا قَسَمْتَ

and grant us a portion of the best of that which You decide in this month,

وَ احْتِمْ لِي فِي قَضَاۤئِكَ خَيْرَ مَا حَتَمْتَ

choose for me the best act that You decide,

وَ اخْتِمْ لِي بِالسَّعَادَةِ فِيْمَنْ خَتَمْتَ

seal my life with happiness with which You seal the lives of others,

وَ اَحْيِنِيْ مَا اَحْيَيْتَنِيْ مَوْفُوْرًا

adorn my whole life with abundant wealth,

وَ اَمِتْنِيْ مَسْرُوْرًا وَ مَغْفُوْرًا

grasp my soul with happiness and forgiveness of my sins,

وَ تَوَلَّ اَنْتَ نَجَاتِي مِنْ مُسَاءَلَةِ الْبَرْزَخِ

be my Redeemer as regards the Interrogation of the Grave,

وَ ادْرَاْ عَنِّي مُنْكَرًا وَ نَكِيْرًا

protect me against Munkar and Nakir,

وَ اَرِ عَيْنِيْ مُبَشِّرًا وَ بَشِيْرًا

let my eyes see Mubashshir and Bashir,

وَ اجْعَلْ لِيْ اِلٰى رِضْوَانِكَ وَ جِنَانِكَ [جَنَّاتِكَ‏] مَصِيْرًا

cause the end of my march to be towards Your pleasure and Paradises,

وَ عَيْشًا قَرِيْرًا

decide for me delightful living

وَ مُلْكًا كَبِيْرًا

and big kingdom,

وَ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ كَثِيرًا۔

and bless Muhammad and his Household very much.

This supplicatory prayer is also advisably said in Masjid Sa’sa’ah.
