[دعاء الموقف] رَوَى زُرْعَةُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ قَالَ: «إِذَا أَتَيْتَ اَلْمَوْقِفَ فَاسْتَقْبِلِ اَلْبَيْتَ وَ سَبِّحِ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ كَبِّرِ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَقُولُ «مٰا شٰاءَ اَللّٰهُ لاٰ قُوَّةَ إِلاّٰ بِاللّٰهِ» مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اَللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ «لاٰ شَرِيكَ لَهُ» «لَهُ اَلْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ اَلْحَمْدُ» «يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ» وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي بِيَدِهِ اَلْخَيْرُ «وَ هُوَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ عَشْرَ آيَاتٍ مِنْ أَوَّلِ سُورَةِ اَلْبَقَرَةِ ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ «قُلْ هُوَ اَللّٰهُ أَحَدٌ» ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ اَلْكُرْسِيِّ حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ آيَةَ اَلسُّخْرَةِ «إِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اَللّٰهُ اَلَّذِي خَلَقَ اَلسَّمٰاوٰاتِ وَ اَلْأَرْضَ فِي سِتَّةِ أَيّٰامٍ ثُمَّ اِسْتَوىٰ عَلَى اَلْعَرْشِ يُغْشِي اَللَّيْلَ اَلنَّهٰارَ يَطْلُبُهُ حَثِيثاً» إِلَى آخِرِهَا ثُمَّ تَقْرَأُ «قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ اَلْفَلَقِ» وَ «قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ اَلنّٰاسِ» حَتَّى تَفْرُغَ مِنْهُمَا ثُمَّ تَحْمَدُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْكَ وَ تَذْكُرُ أَنْعُمَهُ وَاحِدَةً وَاحِدَةً مَا أَحْصَيْتَ مِنْهَا وَ تَحْمَدُهُ عَلَى مَا أَنْعَمَ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَهْلٍ أَوْ مَالٍ وَ تَحْمَدُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَلَى مَا أَبْلاَكَ وَ تَقُولُ اَللَّهُمَّ لَكَ اَلْحَمْدُ عَلَى نَعْمَائِكَ اَلَّتِي لاَ تُحْصَى بِعَدَدٍ وَ لاَ تُكَافَى بِعَمَلٍ وَ تَحْمَدُهُ بِكُلِّ آيَةٍ ذَكَرَ فِيهَا اَلْحَمْدَ لِنَفْسِهِ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ تُسَبِّحُهُ بِكُلِّ تَسْبِيحٍ ذَكَرَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ تُكَبِّرُهُ بِكُلِّ تَكْبِيرٍ كَبَّرَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ تُهَلِّلُهُ بِكُلِّ تَهْلِيلٍ هَلَّلَ بِهِ نَفْسَهُ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ تُكْثِرُ مِنْهُ وَ تَجْتَهِدُ فِيهِ وَ تَدْعُو اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ بِكُلِّ اِسْمٍ سَمَّى بِهِ نَفْسَهُ فِي اَلْقُرْآنِ وَ بِكُلِّ اِسْمٍ تُحْسِنُهُ وَ تَدْعُوهُ بِأَسْمَائِهِ اَلَّتِي فِي آخِرِ اَلْحَشْرِ وَ تَقُولُ أَسْأَلُكَ يَا اَللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ بِكُلِّ اِسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ بِقُوَّتِكَ وَ قُدْرَتِكَ وَ عِزَّتِكَ وَ بِجَمِيعِ مَا أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ وَ بِجَمْعِكَ وَ بِأَرْكَانِكَ كُلِّهَا وَ بِحَقِّ رَسُولِكَ صَلَوَاتُكَ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ وَ بِاسْمِكَ اَلْأَكْبَرِ اَلْأَكْبَرِ وَ بِاسْمِكَ اَلْعَظِيمِ اَلَّذِي مَنْ دَعَاكَ بِهِ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَيْكَ أَنْ تُجِيبَهُ وَ بِاسْمِكَ اَلْأَعْظَمِ اَلْأَعْظَمِ اَلْأَعْظَمِ اَلَّذِي مَنْ دَعَاكَ بِهِ كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَيْكَ أَنْ لاَ تَرُدَّهُ وَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَهُ مَا سَأَلَ أَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي جَمِيعَ ذُنُوبِي فِي جَمِيعِ عِلْمِكَ فِيَّ وَ تَسْأَلُ اَللَّهَ تَعَالَى حَاجَتَكَ كُلَّهَا مِنْ أَمْرِ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ اَلدُّنْيَا وَ تَرْغَبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي اَلْوِفَادَةِ فِي اَلْمُسْتَقْبَلِ وَ فِي كُلِّ عَامٍ وَ تَسْأَلُ اَللَّهَ اَلْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ تَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً وَ لْيَكُنْ مِنْ دُعَائِكَ: اَللَّهُمَّ فُكَّنِي مِنَ اَلنَّارِ وَ أَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ اَلْحَلاَلِ اَلطَّيِّبِ وَ اِدْرَأْ عَنِّي شَرَّ فَسَقَةِ اَلْجِنِّ وَ اَلْإِنْسِ وَ شَرَّ فَسَقَةِ اَلْعَرَبِ وَ اَلْعَجَمِ فَإِنْ نَفِدَ هَذَا اَلدُّعَاءُ وَ لَمْ تَغْرُبِ اَلشَّمْسُ فَأَعِدْهُ مِنْ أَوَّلِهِ إِلَى آخِرِهِ وَ لاَ تَمَلَّ مِنَ اَلدُّعَاءِ وَ اَلتَّضَرُّعِ وَ اَلْمَسْأَلَةِ».
Supplication at Arafat: When you reach the standing place (al-Mawqif), face the Kaaba and recite the following: - Glorify Allah سبحانه وتعالى (Tasbih) 100 times. - Exalt Allah سبحانه وتعالى (Takbir) 100 times. - Say: "Ma sha Allah سبحانه وتعالى, la quwwata illa billah" (Whatever Allah سبحانه وتعالى wills happens; there is no power except by Allah سبحانه وتعالى) 100 times. - Say: "Ashhadu an la ilaha illa Allah سبحانه وتعالى wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamd, yuhyi wa yumit, wa yumit wa yuhyi, biyadihi al-khayr, wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir" (I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and the praise. He gives life and causes death, and He causes death and gives life. In His hand is all goodness, and He is capable of all things) 100 times. Then recite: 1. The first ten verses of Surah Al-Baqarah. 2. Surah Al-Ikhlas (Qul Huwa Allahu Ahad) three times. 3. Ayat Al-Kursi (Allah سبحانه وتعالى! There is no deity except Him...) until its completion. 4. The verse of subjugation (Ayat Al-Sukhra): "Indeed, your Lord عز وجل is Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then established Himself above the Throne..." until the end of the verse. 5. Surah Al-Falaq (Qul A’udhu Bi-Rabbi Al-Falaq). 6. Surah An-Nas (Qul A’udhu Bi-Rabbi An-Nas). [Praising Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Acknowledging His Blessings] Praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى for every blessing He has bestowed upon you. Mention His favors one by one, as much as you can recall, and thank Him for all that He has granted you of family and wealth. Praise Him for all the trials and afflictions He has allowed you to endure, saying: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You belongs all praise for Your innumerable blessings that cannot be counted and cannot be repaid by any deed. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, all praise is Yours for every verse in which You praised Yourself in the Quran. Glory be to You for every glorification by which You glorified Yourself in the Quran. Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the Greatest for every declaration of greatness You attributed to Yourself in the Quran. And there is no deity except You for every declaration of Your oneness You made in the Quran." [Supplication at Arafat - Continued] Invoke blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad abundantly, striving in this supplication. Call upon Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Mighty and Majestic, with every name He has called Himself in the Quran, with every name you know of Him, and with His names mentioned at the end of Surah Al-Hashr. Say: "I ask You, O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, O Merciful, by every name that is Yours. I ask You by Your power, might, and majesty, and by all that Your knowledge encompasses. I ask You by Your assembly and by all of Your supports. I ask You by the right of Your Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, and by Your Greatest Name—Your greatest, greatest Name, which, when invoked, it is Your duty to respond, and by which You do not reject those who call upon You and grant them their requests—to forgive all my sins known to You about me." Ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for all your needs in matters of the Hereafter and this world. Long for His reception in the future and in every year. Ask Him for Paradise seventy times and repent to Him seventy times. [Additional Supplication] Include in your supplications: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, free me from the Fire. Grant me expansive, lawful, and pure sustenance, and protect me from the harm of the wicked among jinn and humankind, and the harm of the corrupt among Arabs and non-Arabs." If you finish this supplication before the sun sets, repeat it from the beginning to the end. Do not tire of supplication, humility, and asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى.

Mu'awiyah ibn Ammar narrated from Abu Abdullah عليه السلام that he said: The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace be upon him and his family) said to Imam Ali عليه السلام: "Shall I teach you the supplication of the Day of Arafah, which is the supplication of the Prophets who came before me?" Imam Ali عليه السلام replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: "Say: 'There is no god but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and causes death, and He causes death and gives life. He is the Ever-Living who does not die. In His hand is all goodness, and He is capable of all things. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You belongs all praise; You are as You say, and better than what anyone can say. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You belongs my prayer, my religion, my life, my death, and to You belongs my inheritance. By You is my strength, and from You is my power. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I seek refuge in You from poverty, from the whispers of the heart, from disorder in affairs, from the punishment of the Fire, and from the torment of the grave. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You for the good that the winds bring, and I seek refuge in You from the evil that the winds bring. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You for the goodness of the night and the goodness of the day.'"

In the narration of Abdullah ibn Sinan: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, place light in my heart, light in my hearing, light in my sight, light in my flesh, light in my blood, light in my bones, light in my veins, light in my joints, light in my sitting place, light in my standing place, light in my entrance, and light in my exit. O Lord عز وجل, magnify light for me on the day I meet You. Indeed, You are capable of all things."

Zur'ah narrated from Abu Basir, who said that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said: "When the sun sets on the Day of Arafah, say: 'O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not make this the last occasion for me at this standing place. Grant it to me repeatedly as long as You keep me alive. Let me return today successful, triumphant, with my supplications answered, showered with Your mercy and forgiveness, with the best outcome any of Your pilgrims or visitors to Your Sacred House may return with. Make me today among the most honored of Your guests, and grant me the best of what You give to any of them—of goodness, blessings, well-being, mercy, satisfaction, and forgiveness. Bless for me what I return to—be it family, wealth, little, or much—and bless them in me.' Then, as you depart, proceed calmly and with composure. Avoid the hasty rushing (wajif) that many people engage in while descending through the mountains and valleys, for indeed The Messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) would hold back his she-camel until its head would touch its hindquarters and would command calmness. His practice is the Sunnah to be followed. When you reach the red hill to the right of the road, say: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, have mercy on my standing here, bless my deeds, preserve my faith for me, and accept my rites." When you arrive at Muzdalifah, also known as Jam’, descend into the valley to the right of the road near the Sacred Monument (Al-Mash'ar Al-Haram). If you cannot find a place there, do not go beyond the pools near the valley of Muhassir, as it marks the boundary between Jam’ and Mina. Pray Maghrib and Isha with one adhan and two iqamah. After Isha, perform the recommended prayers of Maghrib. Do not pray Maghrib on the night of sacrifice except at Muzdalifah, even if a quarter or a third of the night has passed. Stay overnight at Muzdalifah and include in your supplications: "O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, this is Jam’. Gather for me here all that is good. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, do not deprive me of the goodness that I have asked You to gather in my heart. Make me aware of what You have made Your allies aware of at this station. Grant me all that is good and ease in every aspect." If you can stay awake the entire night, do so, for the gates of heaven remain open to the voices of believers, which rise like the hum of bees. Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "I am your Lord عز وجل, and you are My servants. You have fulfilled My right, and it is upon Me to answer you." On this night, Allah سبحانه وتعالى removes the sins of those He wishes to remove and forgives the sins of those He chooses to forgive.
