SUPPLICATION FOR RELEASE FROM PRISON
In Muhaj al-Da’awat, Sayyid Ibn Tawus has narrated that a man who had been imprisoned in Syria for a long time saw in dream Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’ teaching him to say the following supplicatory prayer. When the man did, he was set free and thus he could return home:
اَللّٰهُمَّ بِحَقِّ الْعَرْشِ وَمَنْ عَلَاهُ
O Allah, (I beseech You) in the name of the Throne and Him Who has ascended it,
وَبِحَقِّ الْوَحْىِ وَمَنْ اَوْحَاهُ
the Revelation and Him Who has revealed it,
وَبِحَقِّ النَّبِىِّ وَمَنْ نَبَّاَهُ
the Prophet and Him Who has chosen him for Prophethood,
وَبِحَقِّ الْبَيْتِ وَمَنْ بَنَاهُ
and the House and Him Who has built it.
يَا سَامِعَ كُلِّ صَوْتٍ
O Hearer of all sounds!
يَا جَامِعَ كُلِّ فَوْتٍ
O He Who takes precedence over everything that passes away!
يَا بارِئَ النُّفُوْسِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ
O He Who revives all souls after death!
صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَاَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
(Please do) send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of him
واٰتِنَا وَجَمِيْعَ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
and grant us, as well as all the believing men and women
فِىْ مَشَارِقِ الْاَرْضِ وَمَغَارِبِهَا
in the east and west of the earth,
فَرَجًا مِنْ عِنْدِكَ عَاجِلًا
a relief from You that is immediate,
بِشَهَادَةِ اَنْ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللهُ
by the creed that there is no god save Allah
وَاَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ
and that Muhammad is Your servant and Messenger-
صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهِ
may Allah’s blessings be upon him, his Household,
وَعَلٰى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ
and his progeny; the infallible and pure,
وَسَلَّمَ تَسْلِيْمًا كَثِيْرًا۔
and may His thorough peace be upon them.
