19. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al- Husayn who has said the following
“Once I asked abu al-Hassan (a.s.) to instruct me with a supplication while I was behind him. The Imam said, ‘O Lord, I plead before You, through Your magnanimous face, Your great name, Your majesty beyond reach, through Your power beyond control, to facilitate for me such and such.’ The narrator has said that the Imam wrote for me a note in his own handwriting, ‘O the One Who is High, thus, has subdued (all things), the unseen Who has knowledge (of all things), O the One who owns (all things), thus, has measured (all things), O the One who gives life to the dead and has power over all things, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, and provide me such and such needs.” Then the Imam said, ‘O the One beside whom no one deserves to be worshipped, grant me favors. ’ He wrote for me in another note instructing me to say, ‘O Lord, defend me by Your means and power. O Lord, I plead before You this day, this month, in this year for Your blessings and if any trouble, misfortune or punishment that may take place therein, keep them away from me and my children by Your means and power; You have power over all things. O Lord, I seek protection with You against the loss of bounties, change in good health, sudden misfortune, and the evil of the past record of deeds. O Lord, I seek protection with You against the evil of my soul, the evil of every walking creature that You control by their forehead You have power over all things. Allah’s knowledge encompasses all things and has enumerated all things.’”
19ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ قَالَ
سَأَلْتُ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) دُعَاءً وَأَنَا خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لا تُرَامُ وَبِقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي لا يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ وَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ رُقْعَةً بِخَطِّهِ قُلْ يَا مَنْ عَلا فَقَهَرَ وَبَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ يَا مَنْ مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ وَيَا مَنْ يُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَافْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا ثُمَّ قُلْ يَا لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله ارْحَمْنِي بِحَقِّ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله ارْحَمْنِي وَكَتَبَ إِلَيَّ فِي رُقْعَةٍ أُخْرَى يَأْمُرُنِي أَنْ أَقُولَ اللهمَّ ادْفَعْ عَنِّي بِحَوْلِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِي يَوْمِي هَذَا وَشَهْرِي هَذَا وَعَامِي هَذَا بَرَكَاتِكَ فِيهَا وَمَا يَنْزِلُ فِيهَا مِنْ عُقُوبَةٍ أَوْ مَكْرُوهٍ أَوْ بَلاءٍ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَعَنْ وُلْدِي بِحَوْلِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ زَوَالِ نِعْمَتِكَ وَتَحْوِيلِ عَافِيَتِكَ وَمِنْ فَجْأَةِ نَقِمَتِكَ وَمِنْ شَرِّ كِتَابٍ قَدْ سَبَقَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي وَمِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَإِنَّ الله قَدْ أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عِلْماً وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عَدَداً.
