What Al-Baqir عليه السلام Informed Regarding the Occurrence of the Occultation
50- وَ بِهَذَا الْإِسْنَادِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ وَجَدْتُ بِخَطِّ جَبْرَئِيلَ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ حَدَّثَنِي الْعُبَيْدِيُّ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع سَتُصِيبُكُمْ شُبْهَةٌ فَتَبْقَوْنَ بِلَا عَلَمٍ يُرَى وَ لَا إِمَامٍ هُدًى وَ لَا يَنْجُو مِنْهَا إِلَّا مَنْ دَعَا بِدُعَاءِ الْغَرِيقِ قُلْتُ كَيْفَ دُعَاءُ الْغَرِيقِ قَالَ يَقُولُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ فَقُلْتُ يَا اللَّهُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مُقَلِّبُ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْأَبْصَارِ وَ لَكِنْ قُلْ كَمَا أَقُولُ لَكَ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَ.
50 - And through the same chain of narrators from Muhammad bin Masud that he said: I saw in the handwriting of Jibraeel bin Ahmad: Narrated to me Ubaidi Muhammad bin Isa from Yunus bin Abdur Rahman from Abdullah bin Sinan that Abi Abdullah عليه السلام said:
“After this, a time will come when you will not be able to see the Imam of the time. In that period no one will be saved except the one who recites “Dua-e-Gareeq”. The narrator inquired as to what is Dua-e-Gareeq. Imam عليه السلام replied: “O Allah! O Beneficent! O Merciful! O the One Who transforms the hearts! Make my heart steadfast upon your religion!”
The narrator repeated the dua in this way: The narrator added “Moqallebal Quloob. Wal Absaar” Imam عليه السلام told him, “Indeed, Allah is Moqallebal Quloob Wal Absaar”, but you say only “Ya Muqallebal Quloob Sabbit Qalbee Ala Deenek!”
