THE NIGHT OF EID AL ADHA (QURBAN)

The tenth night of ZILHAJJ is a blessed night since it is one of the four nights that should be advisably spent with acts of worship. At this night, the doors of the heavens are opened. It is also highly recommended to visit the tomb of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.) at this night and to say the supplication that has been previously cited in this book within the rites of Friday nights.

يَا دَاۤئِمَ الْفَضْلِ عَلَى الْبَرِيَّةِ

O He Who is ever-Favorer on the beings!

يَا بَاسِطَ الْيَدَيْنِ بِالْعَطِيَّةِ

O He Who is openhandedly Bestower of gifts!

يَا صَاحِبَ الْمَوَاهِبِ السَّنِيَّةِ

O He Who is the Giver of sublime donations!

صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهِ

Bless Muhammad and his Household,

خَيْرِ الْوَرٰى سَجِيَّةً

the best of all creatures in traits,

وَ اغْفِرْ لَنَا يَا ذَا الْعُلٰى

and forgive us, O Lord of Highness,

فِي هٰذِهِ الْعَشِيَّةِ۔

at this evening.
