Chapter on the Supplication upon the Appearance of the Crescent Moon
وَ عَنْهُ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ اَلنَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ اَلْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ اَلْمُخْتَارِ رَفَعَهُ قَالَ قَالَ أَمِيرُ اَلْمُؤْمِنِينَ:» إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اَلْهِلاَلَ فَلاَ تَبْرَحْ وَ قُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ هَذَا اَلشَّهْرِ وَ نُورَهُ وَنَصْرَهُ وَبَرَكَتَهُ وَطَهُورَهُ وَ رِزْقَهُ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ مَا فِيهِ وَ خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَهُ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا فِيهِ وَ شَرِّ مَا بَعْدَهُ اَللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْهُ عَلَيْنَا بِالْأَمْنِ وَ اَلْإِيمَانِ وَاَلسَّلاَمَةِ وَ اَلْإِسْلاَمِ وَاَلْبَرَكَةِ وَاَلتَّقْوَى وَ اَلتَّوْفِيقِ لِمَا تُحِبُّ وَتَرْضَى«.
And from him, from a number of our companions, from Sahl ibn Ziyad, from Yaqub ibn Yazid, from Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Nawfali, from al-Husayn ibn al-Mukhtar, raising it, who said:
The Commander of the Faithful عليه السلام, peace be upon him, said: “When you see the crescent, then do not depart (without saying), and say: ‘O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You سبحانه وتعالى for the good of this month, its light, its victory, its blessing, its purity, and its provision. And I ask You سبحانه وتعالى for the good of what is in it and the good of what is after it, And I seek refuge in You سبحانه وتعالى from the evil of what is in it and the evil of what is after it. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, bring it upon us with security, faith, safety, Islam, blessing, God-wariness, and success in what You سبحانه وتعالى love and are pleased with.”
