NAMAZ FOR SETTLING THE DEBTS AND SAVING FROM DESPOTIC RULERS
Al-Tusi has reported that a man came to Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) and complained, “My master, I complain to you about the debt in which I am involved and the ruler who has oppressed me. I thus want you to teach me a supplication by which I can win a treasure so that I will settle my debts and protect myself against the oppression of the ruling authorities.”
The Imam (a.s.) thus said: When night befalls you, you should offer a two-unit prayer. In the first unit, recite Surah al-Faatehah and Ayah al-Kursi. In the second unit, recite Surah al-Faatehah and the last four verses of Surah al-Hashr (No. 59):
You should then carry the book of the Holy Qur’an, put it on your head, and say the following supplication:
اَللّٰهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنِ
O Allah, in the name of this (Holy) Qur'an,
وَ بِحَقِّ مَنْ اَرْسَلْتَهُ بِهِ
in the name of him with whom You have sent it,
وَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَدَحْتَهُ فِيْهِ
in the name of every believer whom You have praised therein,
وَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَيْهِمْ
and in the name of their duty towards You,
فَلَاۤ اَحَدَ اَعْرَفُ بِحَقِّكَ مِنْكَ۔
for no one is aware of Your right more than You are.
You should then repeat each of the following words ten times:
بِكَ يَا اللّٰهُ
In Your name, O Allah!
يَا عَلِىَّ بْنَ الْحُسَيْنِ
O 'Ali the son of Husayn!
يَا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ
O Muhammad the son of 'Ali!
يَا جَعْفَرَ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Ja'far the son of Muhammad!
يَا مُوْسَى بْنَ جَعْفَر
O Müsä the son of Ja'far!
،يَا عَلِىَّ بْنَ مُوْسٰ
O 'Ali the son of Müsä!
، يا مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ عَلِيّ
O Muhammad the son of 'Ali!
، يَا عَلِىَّ بْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ،
O 'Ali the son of Muhammad!
يَا حَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيّ
O Hasan the son of 'Ali!
، بِالْحُجَّةِ۔
O Argument (of Allah)
You may then ask for what you need.
The reporter added: After some time, the man returned to Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) after he had settled his debt, built good relations with the ruling authorities, and become financially well-appointed.
It seems this supplication must be said after the prayer.
