ANOTHER NAMAZ FOR SETTLING THE NEEDS

This prayer has been reported by a big number of scholars, such as Shaykh al-Mufid, al-Tusi, Sayyid Ibn Tawus, and many others, from Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.). However, according to the report of Sayyid Ibn Tawus, the way of offering this prayer is as follows:

When you have an urgent need and you wish Almighty Allah to grant it for you, you may observe fasting on three successive days; Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. On Friday, you may bathe yourself, dress yourself with a new, clean costume, go up to the highest point in your house, and offer a two-unit prayer. Then, you may raise your hands towards the sky and say the following supplication:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّىْ حَلَلْتُ بِسَاحَتِكَ

لِمَعْرِفَتِىْ بِوَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ صَمَدَا نِيَّتِكَ

وَ اَنَّهُ لَا قَادِرًا عَلٰى قَضَاۤءِ حَاجَتِىْ غَيْرُكَ

وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ يَا رَبِّ

اَنَّهُ كُلَّمَا تَظَاهَرَتْ نِعْمَتُكَ عَلَىَّ

اشْتَدَّتْ فَاقَتِىْ اِلَيْكَ

وَ قَدْ طَرَقَنِىْ هَمُّ كَذَا وَ كَذَا۔

You should now mention your problem and then keep on, saying:

وَ اَنْتَ بِكَشْفِهِ عَالِمٌ غَيْرُ مُعَلَّمٍ

وَاسِعٌ غَيْرُ مُتَكَلِّفٍ

فَاَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِىْ وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى الْجِبَالِ فَنُسِفَتْ

وَ وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَى السَّمٰوَاتِ فَانْشَقَّتْ

وَ عَلَى النُّجُوْمِ فَانْتَثَرَتْ

وَ عَلَى الْاَرْضِ فَسُطِحَتْ

وَ اَسْئَلُكَ بِالْحَقِّ الَّذِىْ جَعَلْتَهُ عِنْدَ مُحَمَّدٍ

صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهٖ

وَ عِنْدَ عَلِىٍّ وَّ الْحَسَنِ وَالْحُسَيْنِ

وَ عَلِىٍّ وَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ جَعْفَرٍ

وَّ مُوْسٰى وَ عَلِىٍّ وَّ مُحَمَّدٍ

وَّ عَلِىٍّ وَّالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ

اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ

وَ اَنْ تَقْضِىَ لِىْ حَاجَتِىْ

وَ تُيَسِّرَلِىْ عَسِيْرَهَا

وَ تَكْفِيَنِىْ مُهِمَّهَا

فَاِنْ فَعَلْتَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

وَ اِنْ لَمْ تَفْعَلْ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ

غَيْرُ جَاۤئِرٍ فِىْ حُكْمِكَ

وَلَا مُتَّهَمٍ فِىْ قَضَاۤئِكَ

وَلَاحَاۤئِفٍ فِىْ عَدْلِكَ۔

You may then put your face on the ground and say the following supplication:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّ يُوْنُسَ بْنَ مَتّٰى عَبْدُكَ

O Allah, Jonah the son of Amittai, Your servant,

دَعَاكَ فِىْ بَطْنِ الْحُوْتِ

prayed to You from the belly of the big fish

وَ هُوَ عَبْدُكَ فَاسْتَجَبْتَ لَهُ

and he is Your servant, and You responded to him;

وَ اَنَا عَبْدُكَ اَدْعُوْكَ فَاسْتَجِبْ لِىْ۔

and I am Your servant too; so, (please) respond to me.

Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) said, “Many times, I had many needs to be settled by Almighty Allah. I therefore said this supplication and came back having my need settled for me.”
