Chapter on Supplication Between the Units of Prayer (Rak‘at)
عَلِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ اَلزُّرَارِيِّ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سَعْدَانَ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ :«اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ اَلْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ جَهْدِ اَلْبَلاَءِ وَ شَمَاتَةِ اَلْأَعْدَاءِ وَ سُوءِ اَلْقَضَاءِ وَ دَرَكِ اَلشَّقَاءِ وَ مِنَ اَلضَّرَرِ فِي اَلْمَعِيشَةِ وَأَنْ تَبْتَلِيَنِي بِبَلاَءٍ لاَ طَاقَةَ لِي بِهِ أَوْ تُسَلِّطَ عَلَيَّ طَاغِياً أَوْ تَهْتِكَ لِي سِتْراً أَوْ تُبْدِيَ لِي عَوْرَةً أَوْ تُحَاسِبَنِي يَوْمَ اَلْقِيَامَةِ مُنَاقِشاً أَحْوَجَ مَا أَكُونُ إِلَى عَفْوِكَ وَ تَجَاوُزِكَ عَنِّي فِيمَا سَلَفَ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ اَلْكَرِيمِ وَ كَلِمَاتِكَ اَلتَّامَّةِ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ وَ طُلَقَائِكَ مِنَ اَلنَّارِ»
Ali ibn Hatim, from Ali ibn Sulayman al-Zurari, from Ahmad ibn Ishaq, from Sa’adan, who raised it (in isnad) to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him:
Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said: “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل for well-being from the severity of affliction, and from the gloating of enemies, and from an evil decree, and from reaching misery, and from harm in livelihood, And that You عز وجل not test me with a trial for which I have no strength, Or that You عز وجل give power over me to a tyrant, Or that You عز وجل tear away from me a covering, Or expose a private fault of mine, Or call me to account on the Day of Resurrection with thorough interrogation at the very time I am most in need of Your pardon and Your overlooking of what has passed. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل by Your Noble Name and Your perfect words to send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, And to make me among Your freed and released ones from the Fire.”
