According to the view of Fakhr al-Muhaqqiqin, Dua al-’Adilah along with calling its contents in one’s mind grants security against the danger of deviation at the hour of death. The question whether this supplication has been reported from the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, or has been composed by a certain scholar is controversial. Concerning this, our master Hajj MirzaHusayn al-Nuri, a master Hadithist and well-versed in the reports of the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, says that Dua al-’Adilah has been composed by some scholars since it cannot be found in the famous books of Hadith. It is also worth mentioning that Shaykh al-Tusi has narrated that Muhammad ibn Sulayman al-Daylami said to Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) “Your adherents say that Faith is of two sections; one is steady and the other depository. So, please teach me a supplication that makes my faith perfect and saves it from removal.” Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) hence taught him to say the following supplicatory prayer after each obligatory prayer:
رَضِيْتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبًّا
I have submitted to Allah being my Lord,
وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ نَبِيًّا
to Muhammad—may Allah send blessings to him and his Household—being [my] Prophet,
وَ بِالْاِسْلَامِ دِيْنًا
to Islam being my religion,
وَ بِالْقُرْاٰنِ كِتَابًا
to the Qur'an being my book,
وَ بِالْكَعْبَةِ قِبْلَةً
to the Ka'bah being my direction,
وَ بِعَلِيٍّ وَلِيًّا وَ اِمَامًا
to 'Ali being my guardian and leader,
وَ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ
to al-Hasan, al-Husayn,
وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
Ali ibn al-Husayn, Muhammad ibn 'Ali,
وَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ مُوْسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ
Ja'far ibn Muhammad, Musa ibn Ja'far,
وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوْسٰى وَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
Ali ibn Musa,Muhammad ibn 'Ali,
وَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ
Ali ibn Muhammad, al-Hasan ibn 'Ali,
وَ الْحُجَّةِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ
and the Argument [of Allah] and the son of al-Hasan,
صَلَوَاتُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِمْ اَئِمَّةً
Allah’s blessings be upon them, being my leaders.
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ رَضِيْتُ بِهِمْ اَئِمَّةً
O Allah, I submit to them as my leaders;
فَارْضَنِيْ لَهُمْ
so, make me accepted in their sight.
اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۔
