NAMAZ ON THE DAY OF GHADEER
Fifth: It is recommended to offer a two unit prayer. After accomplishment, one should prostrate oneself and thank Almighty Allah one hundred times. Then, one should raise the head from the prostration and say the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيۤ اَسْاَلُكَ بِاَنَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدَ
وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ
O Allah, I beseech You in the name of that all praise be to You, alone, without having any partner, and that You are One, One and Only, and eternally Besought of all; You beget not nor are You begotten, and there is none like You; and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger, Your blessings be upon him and his Household. O He Who is in a state every day! Just as You decided to confer upon me with Your favor when You included me with those to whom You responded, the company of Your religion, and the company of those who pray You, You had led me to this in the beginning of Your creation of me as a sign of Your favoring, generosity, and magnanimity. Then, You followed the favor with another favor, the magnanimity with another magnanimity, and the generosity with another generosity, on account of Your kindness and mercy, so You renewed all that for me over again after You renewed my creation while I was a thing quite forgotten, oblivious, unmindful, and heedless. So, You completed Your grace when You made me remember that, bestowed this favor upon me, and guided me to it. So, (please) may one of Your decisions, O my God, Master, and Sustainer, be that You perfect this for me and never deprive me of it until You cause me to die on this faith and You are pleased with me. For, verily, You are the worthiest Benefactor of perfecting Your grace for me. O Allah, we have listened, obeyed, and answered Your call on account of Your favor to us. So, all praise be to You. Your forgiveness, O our Lord, we seek and to You is the return. We believe in Allah, alone; there is no partner with Him, and (we believe) in His Messenger, Muhammad, may Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Household, we trust and respond to the caller of Allah, we followed the Messenger as regards the loyalty to our master, and the master of the believers, the commander of the believers, 'Ali, the son of Abu-Talib, Allah’s servant and His Messenger’s brother, the grandest veracious, the claim on His creation, by him, He supported His Prophet and His religion, the manifest true. (We believe in him as) the sign of Allah’s religion, the keeper of His knowledge, the container of Allah’s unseen affairs, the carrier of Allah’s secrets, the trustee of Allah on His creatures, and His witness on His created beings. O Allah, O our Lord, surely, we have heard a preacher calling to the faith, saying, “Believe in your Lord.” So, we did believe. Our Lord! Forgive us therefore our faults, cover our evil deeds, and make us die with the righteous ones. Our Lord! And grant us what You have promised us by Your messengers; and disgrace us not on the Day of Resurrection. Surely, You do not fail to perform the promise. Because we, O our Lord, on account of Your grace and kindness, responded to Your caller followed the Messenger, believed him, trusted the Master of the Believers, and denied the idols {Jibf) and false deities (Taghut). So, (please) join us with those whom we chose to join and put us in the group of our Imams, for we do believe in them with absolute belief, and to them we do submit. We believe in their secret and open affairs, their present and their absent ones, and their living and their dead ones. We consent to them as our imams, leaders, and chiefs. And we stop at them in all of our affairs with Allah, excluding all other creatures of Him. We do not seek any substitutes of them, and we do not betake ourselves any friends other than them. We, before Allah, disapprove all those who made war with them, from jinn and men, from the past and the coming generations. We deny the idols, the false deities, the four pagans, their partisans, their followers, and all those who support them from jinn and human beings from the first of time to the last of it. O Allah, we call You to witness that we profess all that professed by Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, Allah’s blessings be upon him and them. We say only that which they say and we believe in only that in which they believe. What they say is our saying, what they profess is what we profess, what they reject is what we reject, those to whom they adhere are they to whom we adhere, those whom they oppose are they whom we oppose, those whom they curse are they whom we curse, those whom they condemn are they whom we condemn, and those to whom they pray for mercy are they to whom we pray for mercy. We believe in, submit to, accept, and follow our masters, Allah’s blessings be upon them. O Allah, so, perfect this for us and do not deprive us of it. Make it well-established and fixed with us and do not make it temporal (belief). Make us live on it (no matter how long You will make us to live) and cause us to die on it (when You decide to terminate our lives). Muhammad’s Household are our Imams; so, we follow them and act loyally to them. We oppose their enemy, the enemy of Allah; so, (please) include us with them in this world and the Hereafter, and make us of those drawn near (to You), for we are satisfied with that. O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
وَ اَنَّكَ وَاحِدٌ اَحَدٌ صَمَدٌ
One may then prostrate oneself again and repeat each of the following prayers one hundred times:
لَمْ تَلِدْ وَ لَمْ تُوْلَدْ
All praise be to Allah. Thanks be to Allah.
وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَكَ كُفُوًا اَحَدٌ

يَا مَنْ هُوَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ فِي شَاْنٍ

وَ كُنْتُ نَسْيًا مَنْسِيًّا

بِاَنْ ذَكَّرْتَنِيْ ذٰلِكَ
يَاۤ اِلٰهِيْ وَ سَيِّدِيْ وَ مَوْلَايَ

فَاِنَّكَ اَحَقُّ الْمُنْعِمِيْنَ
اَنْ تُتِمَّ نِعْمَتَكَ عَلَيَّ۔

وَ اَمِيْنَ اللهِ عَلٰى خَلْقِهٖ
وَ شَاهِدَهُ فِيْ بَرِيَّتِهٖ۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ رَبَّنَا اِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا
يُنَادِيْ لِلْاِيْمَانِ اَنْ اٰمِنُوْا بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاٰمَنَّا

اَللّٰهُمَّ فَتَمِّمْ لَنَا ذٰلِكَ وَ لَا تَسْلُبْنَاهُ
وَ اجْعَلْهُ مُسْتَقِرًّا ثَابِتًا عِنْدَنَا
وَ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ مُسْتَعَارًا

فَاجْعَلْنَا مَعَهُمْ فِيْ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِ
فَاِنَّا بِذٰلِكَ رَاضُوْنَ
يَاۤ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ۔
One may then prostrate oneself again and repeat each of the following doxological prayers one hundred times:
According to a narration, to practice this act brings about the same reward of one who was present at that day and swore allegiance to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) as regards the divinely commissioned leadership (wilayah) of Imam Ali(a.s.). Besides, it is preferable to offer this prayer at midday (zohr), which is the very time when the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) declared the successorship and leadership of Imam Ali(a.s.) at Ghadir Khumm. It is also preferable to recite Surah al-Qadr at the first unit of the prayer and Surah al-Tawheed at the second (of course, after Surah al-Faatehah).
Sixth: It is recommended to bathe oneself and offer a two unit prayer half an hour before midday (zohr). At each unit, one should recite Surah al-Faatehah once, Surah al-Tawheed ten times, Ayah al-Kursi ten times, and Surah al-Qadr ten times. The reward of practicing this act is equal, in the sight of Almighty Allah, to the rewards of one hundred thousand times of Hajj and one hundred thousand times of ‘Umrah. Almighty Allah will also grant all the worldly and religious needs of the performer witheasiness and good health.
It is however worth mentioning that Sayyid Ibn Tawus, in Iqbal al-A’mal, referring to this prayer, has preceded Surah al-Qadr to Ayah al-Kursi. Also, ‘Allamah al-Majlisi, in Zad al-Ma’ad, mentioned that Surah al-Qadr should be preceded to Ayah al-Kursi. So have I done in my other books. But when I investigated the matter, I found out that the majority of scholars who have mentioned this prayer preceded Ayah al-Kursi to Surah al-Qadr. At any rate, there is probability that such confusion has occurred due to an error in writing by Sayyid Ibn Tawus himself or the copiers of the book, since Sayyid Ibn Tawus is too lofty to disagree with the consensus of the other scholars. Finally, Almighty Allah alone knows the most accurate form.
It is preferable to say the supplicatory prayer that begins with the following statement, after this prayer:
رَبَّنَاۤ اِنَّنَا سَمِعْنَا مُنَادِيًا۔۔۔
Seventh: It is recommended to say Dua al-Nudbah, which will be cited in this book.
Eighth: It is recommended to say the following supplicatory prayer, which is reported by Sayyid Ibn Tawus from Shaykh al-Mufid:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْۤ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ
وَ عَلِيٍّ وَلِيِّكَ
It is also recommended to say the short supplicatory prayer that are recorded by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in Iqbal al-A’mal.
وَ الشَّأْنِ وَ الْقَدْرِ الَّذِيْ خَصَصْتَهُمَا بِهِ دُوْنَ خَلْقِكَ
Ninth: It is recommended to congratulate the brethren-in-faith on this day by saying,
اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِيٍّ
Praise be to Allah Who has blessed us to be among those who cling and hold to the divinely commissioned leadership and authority of Amir al-Mu'minln and all the Imams, peace be upon them all.
وَ اَنْ تَبْدَاَ بِهِمَا فِيْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ عَاجِلٍ

اَهْلِ الذِّكْرِ الَّذِيْنَ اَمَرْتَ بِمَسْاَلَتِهِمْ
وَ ذَوِيْ الْقُرْبَى الَّذِيْنَ اَمَرْتَ بِمَوَدَّتِهِمْ
وَ جَعَلْتَ الْجَنَّةَ مَعَادَ مَنِ اقْتَصَّ اٰثَارَهُمْ
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
كَمَاۤ اَمَرُوْا بِطَاعَتِكَ
وَ نَهَوْا عَنْ مَعْصِيَتِكَ
وَ دَلُّوْا عِبَادَكَ عَلٰى وَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْۤ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ
وَ صَفْوَتِكَ وَ اَمِيْنِكَ
وَ رَسُوْلِكَ اِلٰى خَلْقِكَ

وَ قَاۤئِدِ الْغُرِّ الْمُحَجَّلِيْنَ
وَ الصِّدِّيْقِ الْاَكْبَرِ
وَ الْفَارُوْقِ بَيْنَ الْحَقِّ وَ الْبَاطِلِ
وَ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِيْ سَبِيْلِكَ
لَمْ تَأْخُذْهُ فِيْكَ لَوْمَةُ لَاۤئِمٍ
اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ،
وَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَنِيْ فِيْ هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ
الَّذِيْ عَقَدْتَ فِيْهِ لِوَلِيِّكَ الْعَهْدَ فِيْۤ اَعْنَاقِ خَلْقِكَ
وَ اَكْمَلْتَ لَهُمُ الدِّيْنَ
مِنَ الْعَارِفِيْنَ بِحُرْمَتِهِ
وَ الْمُقِرِّيْنَ بِفَضْلِهِ
مِنْ عُتَقَاۤئِكَ وَ طُلَقَاۤئِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ
وَ لَا تُشْمِتَ بِيْ حَاسِدِيْ النِّعَمِ
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَكَمَا جَعَلْتَهُ عِيْدَكَ الْاَكْبَرَ
وَ سَمَّيْتَهُ فِيْ السَّمَاۤءِ يَوْمَ الْعَهْدِ الْمَعْهُوْدِ
وَ فِي الْاَرْضِ يَوْمَ الْمِيْثَاقِ الْمَأْخُوْذِ وَ الْجَمْعِ الْمَسْئُوْلِ
صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
وَ اَقْرِرْ بِهِ عُيُوْنَنَا
وَ اجْمَعْ بِهِ شَمْلَنَا
وَ لَا تُضِلَّنَا بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدَيْتَنَا
وَ اجْعَلْنَا لِاَنْعُمِكَ مِنَ الشَّاكِرِيْنَ
يَاۤ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ عَرَّفَنَا فَضْلَ هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ
وَ شَرَّفَنَا بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ

وَ عَلٰى مُحِبِّيْكُمَا مِنِّيْۤ اَفْضَلُ السَّلَامِ
مَا بَقِيَ اللَّيْلُ وَ النَّهَارُ
وَ بِكُمَاۤ اَتَوَجَّهُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ رَبِّيْ وَ رَبِّكُمَا
وَ تَيْسِيْرِ اُمُوْرِيْۤ
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْۤ اَسْاَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
وَ اَنْ تَلْعَنَ مَنْ جَحَدَ حَقَّ هٰذَا الْيَوْمِ
فَصَدَّ عَنْ سَبِيْلِكَ لِاِطْفَاۤءِ نُوْرِكَ
فَاَبَى اللّٰهُ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ يُتِمَّ نُوْرَهُ
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَرِّجْ عَنْ اَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ
وَ اكْشِفْ عَنْهُمْ وَ بِهِمْ عَنِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ الْكُرُبَاتِ
اَللّٰهُمَّ امْلَأِ الْاَرْضَ بِهِمْ عَدْلًا
كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَ جَوْرًا
وَ اَنْجِزْ لَهُمْ مَا وَعَدْتَهُمْ
اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ۔
It is also recommended to say the short supplicatory prayer that are recorded by Sayyid Ibn Tawus in Iqbal al-A’mal.
Ninth: It is recommended to congratulate the brethren-in-faith on this day by saying,
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُتَمَسِّكِيْنَ
بِوِلَايَةِ اَمِيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَ الْاَئِمَّةِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ۔
It is also recommended to say the following:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ اَكْرَمَنَا بِهٰذَا الْيَوْمِ
وَ جَعَلَنَا مِنَ الْمُوْفِيْنَ بِعَهْدِهِ اِلَيْنَا
وَ مِيْثَاقِهِ الَّذِيْ وَاثَقَنَا بِهِ
مِنْ وِلَايَةِ وُلَاةِ اَمْرِهِ
وَ الْقُوَّامِ بِقِسْطِهِ
وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الْجَاحِدِيْنَ
وَ الْمُكَذِّبِيْنَ بِيَوْمِ الدِّيْنِ۔
Tenth: It is recommended to repeat this doxology (zikr) one hundred times:
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِيْ جَعَلَ كَمَالَ دِيْنِهِ
بِوِلَايَةِ اَمِيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ
عَلِيِّ بْنِ اَبِيْ طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ۔
It is worth mentioning that a great reward has been narrated to be the share of one who, on this day, puts on the best dress, adorns himself, imparts a sweet smell, shows delight and happiness, gives pleasure to the adherents of Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen(a.s.), pardons them, settles their needs, visits the relatives, confers upon the family members with gifts and whatever they need, offers food to the believers and the observers of fasting, shakes hands with, visits, smiles in the faces of, and presents gifts to the believers, thanks Almighty Allah for the grand bliss of recognizing the Divinely commissioned leadership of Imam Ali(a.s.), invokes blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, and practices acts of worship and obedience to Almighty Allah. One dirham that is given as alms on this day to a believer is equal to one thousand dirhams that are given on other days. Finally, to offer food to a believer on this day is equal, in reward, to offering food to all the prophets and the veracious people.
Addressing a sermon on the ‘Id al-Ghadir Day, Imam Ali(a.s.) said, “The reward of offering food to an observant of fasting on this day is equal to the reward of offering food to two hundred thousand prophets, veracious people, and martyrs multiplied by ten. As for one who provides for a number of believing men and women, I guarantee that Almighty Allah will secure him against atheism, poverty ...etc.”
