NAMAZ FOR SEEKING ALLAH'S HELP IN THE NAME OF THE PROPHET (S) AND IMAM ALI (A)

The following is also quoted from this respectable book:

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said: Whoever of you intends to seek the aid of Almighty Allah (in the name of His Intimate Saints), may offer a two unit prayer and then prostrate himself and say the following:

يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا رَسُوْلَ اللّٰهِ يَا عَلِىُّ

O Muhammad, O Allah’s Messenger! O 'Ali!

يَا سَيِّدَىِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَات

O two masters of the believing men and women!

بِكُمَا اَسْتَغِيْثُ اِلَى اللّٰهِ تَعَالٰى

In your names do I seek aid from Allah the All-exalted.

يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِىُّ

O Muhammad! O 'Ali!

اَسْتَغِيْثُ بِكُمَا يَا غَوْثَاهُ

In your names do I seek aid! O my aid!

بِاللّٰهِ وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ

In the name of Allah, Muhammad,

وَّ عَلِيٍّ وَ فَاطِمَةَ۔

Ali, Fatimah,

You may then mention the names of the Holy Imams (a.s.). Following this, you may add the following:

بِكُمْ اَتَوَسَّلُ‏ اِلَى اللهِ تَعَالٰى۔

Once you do so, they will intercede for you to Almighty Allah to grant you His aid at that very moment, if He wills.
