Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 1 Merits of al-K£fah city Be it known to you that al-K£fah city is one of the four cities chosen by Almighty Allah exclusively. It is narrated that the word §£r-s¢n¢n (Holy Qur'¡n, 95/2) mentioned in the Holy Qur'¡n is an indication of this city. According to another narration, this city is the sanctuary of Almighty Allah, the Holy Prophet (¥), and Imam `Al¢ (‘a), and to give one dirham as alms in this city is equal in rewarding to giving one hundred dirhams at other places, and to offer a two-unit prayer there is equal in rewarding to offering a hundred-unit prayer at other places. Merits of masjid al-K£fah To mention all the merits of Masjid al-K£fah (the K£fah Mosque) cannot be covered in this book, because they are too many to be contained by one book. The least to mention in this respect is that this honorable mosque is one of the four mosques that are worthy of being visited so that the merits of such visit may be attained. It is also one of the four places where a traveler is free to perform the obligatory prayers either in the complete form (itm¡m) or in the shortened form (qa¥r). The reward of performing one obligatory prayer at Masjid al-K£fah is equal to the reward of going on one acceptable ¦ajj and equal to the reward of performing one thousand prayers at other places. In Masjid al-K£fah, according to narrations, all Prophets offered prayers, and the Awaited Imam—peace be upon him—will also offer prayer therein. In this connection, a ¦ad¢th reads that one thousand Prophets and one thousand successors of Prophets offered prayers in Masjid al-K£fah. Moreover, some narrations may hint that this mosque is preferred in merits to the Holy Mosque in Jerusalem (al-masjid al-aq¥¡). Ibn Qawlawayh has reported Imam Mu¦ammad al-B¡qir (‘a) as saying, “If people were to realize the favors that they may attain when they visit Masjid al-K£fah, they should certainly travel to it from remote countries… One obligatory prayer in this mosque is equal in reward to (the reward of) one time of admitted ¦ajj, and to offer a supererogatory prayer in this mosque is equal in reward to (the reward of) one admitted `umrah.” However, according to another narration, the reward of one obligatory prayer and one supererogatory prayer that are performed in Masjid al-K£fah is equal to the reward of one ¦ajj and one `umrah practiced with the Holy Prophet (¥). Shaykh al-Kulayn¢, as well as other scholars, has reported on the authority of our master reporters that Imam Ja`far al-¯¡diq (‘a) asked H¡r£n ibn Kh¡rijah, “What is the distance between your house and Masjid al-K£fah? Is it one mile?” “No,” answered H¡r£n, “It is less than that.” The Imam (‘a) asked, “Do you then perform all your prayers there?” “No, in fact” answered H¡r£n. The Imam (‘a) commented, “Had I been present in the precinct of that mosque, I would have never missed any prayer that I can perform there. Do you know the merits of that place? All Prophets and virtuous saints offered prayers in Masjid alK£fah, including the Holy Prophet Mu¦ammad (¥). When he was taken to the heavens, Archangel Gabriel said to him, ‘Mu¦ammad, do you know where you are now? You are Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 2 now opposite to the mosque of k£f¡n.’ The Holy Prophet (¥) thus asked permission from his Lord to visit the mosque and offer a two-unit prayer. He was thus permitted. Verily, the right side of this mosque is a garden of Paradise, the middle of it is a garden of Paradise, and the back of it is also a garden of Paradise. To perform an obligatory prayer there is equal in reward to performing one thousand prayers (at other places). To offer a supererogatory prayer therein is equal in reward to offering five hundred prayers. To sit there without reciting or saying any devotional statement is considered worship. If people were to realize the merits of visiting this place, they would certainly come to it, even crawling.” According to another narration, the reward of one obligatory prayer that is performed in Masjid al-K£fah is equal to the reward of going on ¦ajj, and the reward of one supererogatory prayer that is offered there is equal to the reward of one `umrah. At the end of the previously mentioned seventh untimed form of ziy¡rah of Imam `Al¢ (‘a), I have also referred to some merits of Masjid al-K£fah. Finally, in the word of some narrations, the right side of this mosque is more favorable than its left side. Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 3 devotional Acts at Masjid al-K£fah As is mentioned in the book of Mi¥b¡¦ al-Z¡'ir and other books, the recommended devotional acts at Masjid al-K£fah are as follows: You may begin with the following words when you enter the city of al-K£fah: In the Name of Allah (I begin), bismi all¡hi in Allah (I trust), wa bill¡hi on the way of Allah (I proceed), and the course of Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him and his Household, (I follow).

Next to this place, there was a short column on which the following holy verse was written: “Surely, Allah enjoins the doing of justice and the doing of good to others and the giving to the kindred, and He forbids indecency and evil and rebellion; He admonishes you that you may be mindful.” ﻥ ِ ﺣﺴَـﺎ ْﻹ ِ ﻝ ﻭَﺍ ﺪﹺ ْ »ﺇﹺﻥﱠ ﺍﻟ ﱠﻠ َﻪ ﻳَﺎ ُﻣﺮُ ﺑﹺﭑﻟﹾﻌَـ ﻦ َﻭﺇﹺﻳﺘﹶــﺎ ِﺀ ﺫِﻱ ﺍﹾﻟ ﹸﻘ ْﺮﺑَــﻰٰ َﻭَﻳ ﹾﻨﻬَــﻰٰ ﻋَــ ﹺ ﻢ ْ ﻈﻜﹸـ ﻲ َﻳ ِﻌ ﹸ ﻜ ﹺﺮ َﻭﭐﹾﻟ َﺒﻐﹾـ ﹺ ﺤﺸﹶﺎ ِﺀ َﻭﭐﹾﻟﻤُﻨ ﹶ ْ ﭐﹾﻟ ﹶﻔ «.ﻥ َ ﺬ ﱠﻛﺮُﻭ ﻢ ﹶﺗ ﹶ ْﻜ ﹶﻟ َﻌ ﱠﻠ ﹸ The place of the washtub (bayt al-§ast) is the place where one of the miracles of Imam `Al¢ (‘a) was shown: While an unmarried girl was swimming in a pool, a leech could penetrate into her body to settle in her womb. This leech fed on the blood of that girl and thus grew up. Hence, the girl’s belly began to grow bigger and bigger that her brothers though that she was illegally pregnant. As they intended to kill their sister, they first provided the case before Imam `Al¢ (‘a) to decide about her. The Imam (‘a) ordered that a thick curtain should be erected in one of the sides of the mosque (Masjid al-K£fah) behind which the girl would sit. The Imam (‘a) then asked a famous midwife in al-K£fah city to check the girl. The answer of the midwife came as follows: “O Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n, this girl is pregnant. She carries a fetus in her womb.” However, the Imam (‘a) ordered them to bring a washtub made of clay and he asked them to make that girl sit there. When the leech felt the stench of the clay, it sneaked out from where it had entered and it fell in the washtub. Thus, the innocence of the girl was proved. According to other narrations, Imam `Al¢ (‘a) extended his hand and brought a piece of ice from the mountains of Syria and put it in the washtub, causing the leech to come out. Order of devotional Acts in Masjid al-K£fah Be it known to you that the order of doing the recommended acts in Masjid alK£fah according to the opinion of the majority of scholars is that the acts to be done in the center of the mosque come directly after the acts at the fourth column. Hence, the acts of the seat of judgment and the place of washtub should be the last of all, which means that they are done after the accomplishment of the acts at the seat of Imam al-¯¡diq (‘a) (dakkat al-¥¡diq). In this book, I imitate the order followed by Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s, in his book of Mi¥b¡¦ al-Z¡'ir, `All¡mah al-Majlis¢, in his book of Bi¦¡r al-Anw¡r, and Shaykh Kha¤ir, in his book of al-Maz¡r. In conclusion, one who desires to follow the opinion of the majority of scholars Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 12 may do the acts at the seat of judgment (dakkat al-qa¤¡') and the place of washtub (bayt al-§ast) after accomplishing all the other acts of Masjid al-K£fah. Back to the acts of dakkat al-qa¤¡' and bayt al-§ast, after finishing from the fourth column, you may walk to dakkat al-qa¤¡' and offer there a two-unit prayer, reciting in each unit S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and any other S£rah you like to recite. After accomplishment, you may say the famous Tasb¢¦ al-Zahr¡' litany and then say the following supplicatory words: Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 13 O He Who possesses me, He Who endows me with possessions, and He Who encompasses me with enormous bounties albeit that I do not deserve them. y¡ m¡lik¢ wa mumallik¢ wa mutaghammid¢ bilnni`ami aljis¡mi min ghayri isti¦q¡qin My face is humble to what is overtopped by feet wajh¢ kh¡¤i`un lim¡ ta`l£hu al-aqd¡mu due to the majesty of Your Noble Face. lijal¡li wajhika alkar¢mi (Please) do not make this hardship and this ordeal l¡ taj`al h¡dhih¢ alshshiddata wa l¡ h¡dhih¢ almi¦nata to be continual until they lead to the extirpation of the root.

Apparently, when the Holy Prophet (¥), at the night of his Ascension, asked permission from Almighty Allah to visit this mosque, he offered his prayer at this place. Previously, I have mentioned the narration involving this incident. Devotional Acts at the Seventh Column The seventh column is the place where Almighty Allah guided Prophet Adam to ask for repentance. Hence, you may walk to this place, stop there, face the kiblah direction, and say the following words: In the Name of Allah (I begin), in Allah (I trust), and the course of Allah’s Messenger, peace be upon him and his Household, (I follow). There is no god but Allah. Mu¦ammad is Allah’s messenger. bismi all¡hi wa bill¡hi wa `al¡ millati ras£li all¡hi ¥all¡ all¡hu `alayhi wa ¡lih¢ ﻢ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ َﻭﹺﺑﭑﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺴﹺ ْ ﹺﺑ ﻝ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ َﻭ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ِﻣ ﱠﻠ ِﺔ َﺭﺳُﻮ ﹺ ﺻ ﱠﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ُﻪ َﻋ ﹶﻠ ْﻴ ِﻪ ﻭَﺁِﻟ ِﻪ ﹶ wa l¡ il¡ha ill¡ all¡hu ﻻ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ُﻪ ﻻ ﺇﹺﻟ َﻪ ﹺﺇ ﱠ َﻭ ﹶ mu¦ammadun ras£lu all¡hi ﻝ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺪ َﺭﺳُﻮ ﹸ ٌ ﺤ ﱠﻤ َ ُﻣ Peace be upon our father Adam and our mother Eve. alssal¡mu `al¡ ab¢n¡ ¡dama wa ummin¡ ¦aww¡'a Peace be upon Abel who was killed wrongly and aggressively, alssal¡mu `al¡ h¡b¢la almaqt£li ¨ulman wa `udw¡nan because he was envied for Allah’s favors and pleasure. `al¡ maw¡hibi all¡hi wa ri¤w¡nih¢ Peace be upon Sheeth, the select of Allah, alssal¡mu `al¡ shaythin ¥afwati all¡hi ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﺍ ﺑﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺁ َﺩ َﻡ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﺣﻮﱠﺍ َﺀ َ َﻭﺍ ﱢﻣﻨﹶﺎ ﻞ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﻫَﺎﺑﹺﻴ ﹶ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﺪﻭَﺍﻧ ﹰﺎ ْ ﻝ ﹸﻇﻠﹾﻤ ﹰﺎ َﻭ ُﻋ ﭐﹾﻟ َﻤ ﹾﻘﺘﹸﻮ ﹺ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ َﻣﻮَﺍ ِﻫ ﹺ ﺐ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺿﻮَﺍﹺﻧ ِﻪ َﻭ ﹺﺭ ﹾ ﺻ ﹾﻔ َﻮ ِﺓ ﺚ ﹶ ٍ ﺷ ْﻴ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﹶ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 17 ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ the chosen and trustee, almukht¡ri al-am¢ni and upon the veracious, select ones from his immaculate progeny, wa `al¡ al¥¥afwati al¥¥¡diq¢na min dhurriyyatih¢ al§§ayyib¢na from the first to the last. awwalihim wa ¡khirihim Peace be upon Abraham, Ishmael, alssal¡mu `al¡ ibr¡h¢ma wa ism¡`¢la Isaac, and Jacob, wa is¦¡qa wa ya`q£ba and upon their chosen descendants. wa `al¡ dhurriyyatihimu almukht¡r¢na Peace be upon Moses the spoken by Allah. alssal¡mu `al¡ m£s¡ kal¢mi all¡hi Peace be upon Jesus the spirit of Allah. alssal¡mu `al¡ `¢s¡ r£¦i all¡hi Peace be upon Mu¦ammad the son of `Abdull¡h, the seal of the Prophets. alssal¡mu `al¡ mu¦ammadin ibni `abdill¡hi kh¡timi alnnabiyy¢na Peace be upon the Commander of the Faithful and upon his immaculate progeny. alssal¡mu `al¡ am¢ri almu'min¢na wa dhurriyyatih¢ al§§ayyib¢na Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon them. wa ra¦matu all¡hi wa barak¡tuh£ Peace be upon you among the ancient generations. alssal¡mu `alaykum f¢ alawwal¢na ﻦ ﺨﺘﹶﺎ ﹺﺭ ﭐﻻ ﻣِﻴ ﹺ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ﹾ ﻦ َ َﻭ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻟﺼﱠ ﹾﻔ َﻮ ِﺓ ﭐﻟﺼﱠﺎ ِﺩﻗِﻴ ﻦ َ ﻄ ﱢﻴﺒﹺﻴ ﻦ ﹸﺫ ﱢﺭﱠﻳ ِﺘ ِﻪ ﭐﻟ ﱠ ْ ِﻣ ﻢ ْ ﺧ ﹺﺮ ِﻫ ِ ﻢ ﻭَﺁ ْ ﺍ ﻭﱠِﻟ ﹺﻬ ﻢ َ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﹺﺇْﺑﺮَﺍﻫِﻴ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻞ ﺳﻤَﺎﻋِﻴ ﹶ ْ َﻭﹺﺇ ﺏ َ ﻕ َﻭَﻳ ْﻌﻘﹸﻮ َ ﺳﺤَﺎ ْ َﻭﹺﺇ ﻢ ُ َﻭ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﹸﺫﺭﱢﻳﱠ ِﺘ ﹺﻬ ﻦ َ ﺨﺘﹶﺎﺭﹺﻳ ﭐﹾﻟ ُﻤ ﹾ ﻢ ﺳﻰٰ ﹶﻛﻠِﻴ ﹺ َ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﻣُﻮ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺡ ﺴﻰٰ ﺭُﻭ ﹺ َ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﻋِﻴ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﻦ ﺪ ْﺑ ﹺ ٍ ﺤ ﱠﻤ َ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ُﻣ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻦ َ ﻢ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻨ ﹺﺒﻴﱢﻴ ﺪ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺧﹶﺎِﺗ ﹺ ِ َﻋ ْﺒ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﺍ ﻣِﻴ ﹺﺮ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻦ َﻭ ﹸﺫ ﱢﺭﱠﻳ ِﺘ ِﻪ َ ﭐﹾﻟ ُﻤ ْﺆ ِﻣﻨﹺﻴ ﻦ َ ﻄ ﱢﻴﺒﹺﻴ ﭐﻟ ﱠ ﺣ َﻤ ﹸﺔ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ َﻭَﺑ َﺮﻛﹶﺎﹸﺗ ُﻪ ْ َﻭ َﺭ ﻢ ﻓِﻲ ْﻜ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠ ْﻴ ﹸ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻦ َ ﭐﻻ ﱠﻭﻟِﻴ Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 18 Peace be upon you among the coming generations. alssal¡mu `alaykum f¢ al¡khir¢ni Peace be upon F¡§imah al-Zahr¡' (the Luminous Lady). alssal¡mu `al¡ f¡§imata alzzahr¡'i Peace be upon the guiding Imams: alssal¡mu `al¡ ala'immati alh¡d¢na the witnesses of Allah upon His created beings. shuhad¡'i all¡hi `al¡ khalqih¢ Peace be upon the supervisor: the witness on the nations for Allah the Lord of the worlds. alssal¡mu `al¡ alrraq¢bi alshsh¡hidi `al¡ al-umami lill¡hi rabbi al`¡lam¢na ﻢ ﻓِﻲ ْﻜ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠ ْﻴ ﹸ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻦ ﭐﻵﺧِﺮﻳ ﹺ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﻓﹶﺎ ِﻃ َﻤ ﹶﺔ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﭐﻟ ﱠﺰ ْﻫﺮَﺍ ِﺀ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻻ ِﺋ ﱠﻤ ِﺔ ﻦ َ ﭐﹾﻟﻬَﺎﺩِﻳ ﺧ ﹾﻠ ِﻘ ِﻪ ﺷ َﻬﺪَﺍ ِﺀ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﹶ ﹸ ﺐ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻟﺮﱠﻗِﻴ ﹺ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ ﻢ ِﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﺪ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻻ َﻣ ﹺ ِ ﭐﻟﺸﱠﺎ ِﻫ ﻦ َ ﺏ ﭐﹾﻟﻌَﺎﹶﻟﻤِﻴ َﺭ ﱢ At the same place, you may offer a four unit prayer reciting in the first unit S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Qadr and reciting in the second unit S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d and repeat the same in the third and fourth units.

For instance, al-Kulayn¢ has reported through an authoritative chain of authority that Imam `Al¢ Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (‘a) used to offer prayers next to the seventh column and the distance between him and this column was so close that one could hardly pass from there. According to another validly reported narration, each night sixty thousand angels descend from the heavens to offer prayer at the seventh column and none of them returns until the Resurrection Day. According to another validly reported tradition, Imam al-¯¡diq (`a) has said, “The seventh column is the standing-place of Prophet Abraham (‘a).” In his book of al-K¡f¢, Shaykh al-Kulayn¢ has also narrated that Ab£-Ism¡`¢l alSarr¡j reported that Mu`¡wiyah ibn Wahab took him from the arm to the seventh column and said that Ab£-°amzah al-Thum¡l¢ had taken him from the arm to this seventh column and said that al-A¥bagh ibn Nub¡tah had taken him from the arm to this seventh column and said, “This is the place where Imam `Al¢ Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (‘a) used to be. Imam al-°asan (‘a) used to offer prayers at the fifth column, but when Imam `Al¢ (‘a) would be absent, al-°asan (‘a) would take his place at the seventh column, which is at b¡b kindah (the Gate of Kindah).” In conclusion, the narrations reporting the merits of the seventh column at Masjid al-K£fah are numerous; but because my course in this book is to sum up as much as possible, I will mention no more. devotional Acts at the Fifth Column The fifth column in al-K£fah Mosque is one of the peculiar places; therefore, it is advised not to miss offering a prayer there and not to miss supplicating Almighty Allah for granting the personal requests. According to an authoritative narration, Prophet Abraham (‘a) offered a prayer at this place. As other narrations have mentioned that Prophet Abraham (‘a) offered prayers at Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 26 other places in this mosque, this does not bring about contradiction between such narrations; rather, it means that Prophet Abraham (‘a) offered prayers at different places in this mosque. According to another authoritative narration, Imam al-¯¡diq (‘a) has said, “The fifth column is the standing-place of Archangel Gabriel (‘a). It is also understood from an aforementioned narration that Imam al-°asan (‘a) used to offer prayers at this place. In conclusion, narrations have confirmed that the seventh and the fifth columns in Masjid al-K£fah are the most blessed places. Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s says: At the fifth column, you may offer a two-unit prayer reciting any S£rah you want after S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah.

The Imam (‘a) then taught him to say there, while facing the kiblah direction, the aforementioned form of ziy¡rah that comprises the following statements: Peace be upon our father Adam and our mother Eve… ab¢n¡ alssal¡mu `al¡ ¡dama wa ummin¡ ¦aww¡'a… ﻼ ُﻡ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﺍ ﺑﹺﻴﻨﹶﺎ ﺁ َﺩ َﻡ ﺴﹶ ﺍﹶﻟ ﱠ …ﺣﻮﱠﺍ َﺀ َ َﻭﺍ ﱢﻣﻨﹶﺎ Devotional Acts at the Third Column You may then walk to the seat of Imam `Al¢ ibn al-°usayn Zayn al-`ªbid¢n (‘a) that is situated near the third column from the direction of b¡b kindah (the Gate of Kindah). Opposite to this place from the kiblah direction is the seat of Imam `Al¢ Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (‘a) and from the west side is b¡b kindah, which is now blocked. It has been also said that one who wants to offer prayers there must stand five arms far from the column, since the actual place of the seat of Imam Zayn al-`ªbid¢n (‘a) was there. Anyhow, you may offer there a two-unit prayer reciting S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and any other S£rah you like. When you finish the prayer and say the Tasb¢¦ statements, you may say the following: In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

However, this instruction is as follows: It is narrated that Imam al-¯¡diq (‘a) said to one of his companions: If you pass by the grand mosque of al-K£fah in the early morning, you may offer there a fourunit prayer and then say the following supplicatory prayer: O Allah, if I have disobeyed you, il¡h¢ in kuntu qad `a¥aytuka I have also obeyed you in the things that You most like. fa'inn¢ qad a§a`tuka f¢ a¦abbi al-ashy¡'i ilayka I have not claimed that You have child and I have not associated any one with You. lam attakhidh laka waladan Yet, I have disobeyed You in many things wa qad `a¥aytuka f¢ ashy¡'a kath¢ratin on account of neither defiance, `al¡ ghayri wajhi almuk¡barati laka nor my being too arrogant to serve You, wa l¡ alistikb¡ri `an `ib¡datika nor denial of Your Godhead, wa l¡ alju¦£di lirub£biyyatika nor mutiny against my servitude to You; wa l¡ alkhur£ji `an al`ub£diyyati laka rather, I only followed my lusts and Satan caused me to slip although You have clear argument against wa lam ad`u laka shar¢kan wa l¡kin ittba`tu haw¡ya wa azallaniya alshshay§¡nu ba`da al¦ujjati walbay¡ni ﺪ ْ ﺖ ﹶﻗ ﻥ ﹸﻛ ﹾﻨ ﹸ ْ ﺇﹺﻟٰﻬﹺﻲ ﹺﺇ ﻚ َ ﺼ ْﻴ ﹸﺘ َﻋ ﹶ ﻚ ﻓِﻲ َ ﺪ ﺍ ﹶﻃ ْﻌ ﹸﺘ ْ ﹶﻓ ﹺﺈﱢﻧﻲ ﹶﻗ ﻚ َ ﺷﻴَﺎ ِﺀ ﹺﺇﹶﻟ ْﻴ ﺐ ﭐﻻ ﹾ ﺣ ﱢ َ ﺍ ﻚ َﻭﻟﹶﺪﹰﺍ َ ﺬ ﹶﻟ ﺨﹾ ِ ﻢ ﺍ ﱠﺗ ْ ﹶﻟ ْ َﻭﹶﻟ ﺷﺮﹺﻳﻜ ﹰﺎ ﻚ ﹶ َ ﻉ ﹶﻟ ُ ﻢ ﺍ ْﺩ ﺷﻴَﺎ َﺀ ﻚ ﻓِﻲ ﺍ ﹾ َ ﺼ ْﻴ ﹸﺘ ﺪ َﻋ ﹶ ْ َﻭ ﹶﻗ ﹶﻛﺜِﻴ َﺮ ٍﺓ ْ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰٰ ﹶﻏ ْﻴ ﹺﺮ َﻭ ﺟ ِﻪ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤﻜﹶﺎَﺑ َﺮ ِﺓ ﻚ َ ﹶﻟ ﻦ ْ ﻜﺒَﺎ ﹺﺭ َﻋ ﺳ ِﺘ ﹾ ْ ﻻ ﭐِﻟﭑ َﻭ ﹶ ﻚ َ ِﻋﺒَﺎ َﺩِﺗ ﻚ َ ﺠﺤُﻮ ِﺩ ِﻟ ُﺮﺑُﻮﹺﺑ ﱠﻴ ِﺘ ُ ﻻ ﭐﹾﻟ َﻭ ﹶ ﻦ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻌﺒُﻮ ِﺩﱠﻳ ِﺔ ﺝ َﻋ ﹺ ﺨﺮُﻭ ﹺ ﻻ ﭐﻟﹾ ﹸ َﻭ ﹶ ﻚ َ ﹶﻟ ﻱ َ ﺖ َﻫﻮَﺍ ﻦ ﭐﱠﺗ َﺒ ْﻌ ﹸ ﻜ ﹺ ِ َﻭﹶﻟ ﺪ َ ﻥ َﺑ ْﻌ ُ ﺸ ْﻴﻄﹶﺎ ﻲ ﭐﻟ ﱠ َ ﻭَﺍ ﹶﺯﱠﻟ ﹺﻨ Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 34 me.

They have added that one may offer a four-unit prayer in the first two units of which one may recite S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and S£rah al-Taw¦¢d and the last two units one may recite S£rah alF¡ti¦ah and the S£rah al-Qadr. After accomplishment, one may say the Tasb¢¦ alZahr¡' litany… etc. Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 35 According to an authoritative narration, Ab£-°amzah al-Thum¡l¢ reported that he was one day sitting in the grand mosque of al-K£fah when a man entered from b¡b kindah. His face was indeed the prettiest, he smelt the nicest perfume, and he put on the cleanest dress. He also put a turban, a shirt, and a jubbah (a type of long open cloth coat with wide sleeves). As he was also wearing Arabian slippers, he took them off when he entered the mosque. He then stopped near the sixth column of the mosque, raised his hands to the level of his ears and uttered a takb¢r statement (i.e. saying all¡hu-akbar) that was so reverent that my entire body shivered. He then offered a four-unit prayer with excellent genuflection and prostration. At accomplishment, he uttered the supplicatory prayer that begins with this statement: ﺪ ْ ﺖ ﹶﻗ ﻥ ﹸﻛ ﹾﻨ ﹸ ْ ﺇﹺﻟٰﻬﹺﻲ ﹺﺇ O my God, if I have disobeyed You, I have indeed obeyed You in the nearest thing to You… il¡h¢ in kuntu qad `a¥aytuka fa'inn¢ qad a§a`tuka f¢ a¦abbi alashy¡'i ilayka… ﺪ ْ ﻚ ﹶﻓ ﹺﺈﱢﻧﻲ ﹶﻗ َ ﺼ ْﻴ ﹸﺘ َﻋ ﹶ ﺐ ﺣ ﱢ َ ﻚ ﻓِﻲ ﺍ َ ﺍ ﹶﻃ ْﻌ ﹸﺘ …ﻚ َ ﺷﻴَﺎ ِﺀ ﹺﺇﹶﻟ ْﻴ ﭐﻻ ﹾ When he reached at the statement: O All-generous!

He then said while prostrating: O He Who has full power over granting the requests of the beseechers… y¡ man yaqdiru `al¡ ¦aw¡'iji alss¡'il¢na… ﺞ ﺣﻮَﺍِﺋ ﹺ َ ٰﺪ ُﺭ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰ ِ ﻦ َﻳ ﹾﻘ ْ ﻳَﺎ َﻣ …ﻦ َ ﭐﻟﺴﱠﺎِﺋﻠِﻴ He then repeated the following word seventy times: O my Master. y¡ sayyid¢ ﺳﻴﱢﺪِﻱ َ ﻳَﺎ When he raised his head, I looked at him closely and could conclude that he was Zayn al-`ªbid¢n (‘a). I thus kissed his hand and asked him what had caused him to come to the mosque. The Imam (‘a) answered, “As you have seen.” (i.e. I came here to offer prayers the al-K£fah Mosque)… etc. At the end of the seventh form of the untimed ziy¡rah of Imam `Al¢ (‘a), we have mentioned this story but with a little difference due to the difference of the reports. We have also mentioned that the Imam (`a) suggested to Ab£-°amzah al-Thum¡l¢ that he would accompany him to visiting the holy tomb of Imam `Al¢ (‘a) and the man agreed… etc. devotional Acts at B¡b al-Faraj The b¡b al-faraj (The Gate of Relief) is also called maq¡m n£¦ (the standing-place of Prophet Noah). When you accomplish the acts at the third column, you may walk to Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 36 the Seat of Am¢r al-Mu'min¢n (‘a), which is the bench located next to the gate of the mosque from the side of Imam `Al¢’s house. You may offer there a four-unit prayer, reciting S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah and any other S£rahs you want. When you finish the prayer and say the Tasb¢¦ statements, you may say the following: O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Mu¦ammad and the Household of Mu¦ammad and grant my request. O Allah!

It is worth mentioning to repeat what I have already mentioned about the order of the acts at Masjid al-K£fah: Be it known to you that the order of doing the recommended acts in Masjid alK£fah according to the opinion of the majority and according to the book of al-Maz¡r al-Qad¢m is that the acts to be done in the center of the mosque come directly after the acts at the fourth column. Hence, the acts of the seat of judgment and the place of washtub should be the last of all, which means that they are done after the accomplishment of the acts at the seat of Imam al-¯¡diq (‘a) (dakkat al-¥¡diq). In this book, I imitate the order followed by Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s, in his book of Mi¥b¡¦ al-Z¡'ir, `All¡mah al-Majlis¢, in his book of Bi¦¡r al-Anw¡r, and Shaykh Kha¤ir, in his book of al-Maz¡r. In conclusion, one who desires to follow the opinion of the majority may do the acts at the seat of judgments (dakkat al-qa¤¡') and the place of washtub (bayt al§ast) after accomplishing all the other acts at Masjid al-K£fah. Prayer for Settling the Needs at al-K£fah Mosque Imam al-¯¡diq (‘a) is reported to have said that one who offers the following prayer at Masjid al-K£fah will have all his requests settled: One may offer a two-unit prayer reciting at each unit S£rahs al-F¡ti¦ah, al-Falaq (No. 113), al-N¡s (No. 114), al-Taw¦¢d (No. 112), al-K¡fir£n (No. 109), al-Na¥r (No. 110), al-Qadr (No. 97), and al-A`l¡ (No. 87). After accomplishment, one may say the Tasb¢¦ al-Zahr¡' litany and then beseech Almighty Allah for settling his needs. This order of S£rahs is corresponding with the order adopted by Sayyid Ibn ±¡w£s in his book of al-Mi¥b¡¦, while according to the narration of Shaykh al-±£s¢ in his book of al-Am¡l¢, S£rah al-Qadr follows S£rah al-A`l¡. Possibly, the commitment to the order of the S£rahs is not obligatory; therefore, it is acceptable to recite these seven S£rahs in any order as long as S£rah al-F¡ti¦ah precedes the others. Finally, Almighty Allah knows best. Ziy¡rah of Muslim ibn `Aq¢l When you accomplish all the acts at Masjid al-K£fah, you may walk to the tomb of Muslim ibn `Aq¢l—may Allah sanctify his soul, light up his tomb, and be pleased to him. When you stop at the tomb, you may say the following: All praise be to Allah: the Lord and the evident Truth. al¦amdu lill¡hi almaliki al¦aqqi almub¢ni All the tyrannical oppressors are subservient to His almightiness. almuta¥¡ghiri li`a¨amatih¢ jab¡biratu al§§¡gh¢na ﻖ ﺤ ﱢ َ ﻚ ﭐﹾﻟ ِ ﺪ ِﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﭐﻟﹾ َﻤ ِﻠ ُ ﺤ ْﻤ َ ﺍﹾﻟ ﻦ ﭐﹾﻟ ُﻤﺒﹺﻴ ﹺ ﺟﺒَﺎﹺﺑ َﺮ ﹸﺓ َ ﻈ َﻤ ِﺘ ِﻪ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ﹶﺘﺼﹶﺎ ِﻏ ﹺﺮ ِﻟ َﻌ ﹶ ﻦ َ ﭐﻟﻄﱠﺎﻏِﻴ Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 48 All the inhabitants of the heavens and the layers of the earth admit His Godhead. almu`tarifi birub£biyyatih¢ jam¢`u ahli alssam¡w¡ti walara¤¢na All the created beings confess of His Oneness. almuqirri bitaw¦¢dih¢ s¡'iru alkhalqi ajma`¢na May Allah send blessings upon the master of all created beings wa ¥all¡ all¡hu `al¡ sayyidi al-an¡mi and upon the members of his Household; the noble ones, such blessings that delight them and humiliate all those who antagonize them wa ahli baytih¢ alkir¡mi ¥al¡tan taqarru bih¡ a`yunuhum wa yarghamu bih¡ anfu sh¡ni'ihim ﻊ ُ ﺟﻤِﻴ َ ﻑ ﹺﺑ ُﺮﺑُﻮﹺﺑﻴﱠ ِﺘ ِﻪ ِ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ْﻌ ﹶﺘ ﹺﺮ ﺕ ِ ﺴﻤَﺎﻭَﺍ ﻞ ﭐﻟ ﱠ ﺍ ْﻫ ﹺ ﻦ َ َﻭﭐﻻ َﺭﺿِﻴ ﺪ ِﻩ ﺳَﺎِﺋ ُﺮ ِ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ِﻘﺮﱢ ﹺﺑ ﹶﺘ ْﻮﺣِﻴ ﻦ َ ﺟ َﻤﻌِﻴ ْ ﻖﺍ ﺨ ﹾﻠ ﹺ ﭐﹾﻟ ﹶ ِﺳ ﱢﻴـﺪ َ ٰﺻ ﱠﻠﻰٰ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ُﻪ َﻋ ﹶﻠﻰ َﻭ ﹶ ﭐﻻ ﻧﹶﺎ ﹺﻡ ﻜﺮَﺍ ﹺﻡ ِ ﻞ َﺑ ْﻴ ِﺘ ِﻪ ﭐﹾﻟ ﻭَﺍ ْﻫ ﹺ ﻢ ْ ﺻﹶﻼ ﹰﺓ ﹶﺗ ﹶﻘ ﱡﺮ ﹺﺑﻬَﺎ ﺍ ْﻋ ُﻴ ﹸﻨ ُﻬ ﻢ ْ ﻒ ﺷﹶﺎﹺﻧ ِﺌ ﹺﻬ ُ ﻢ ﹺﺑﻬَﺎ ﺍ ﹾﻧ ُ َﻭَﻳ ْﺮ ﹶﻏ ﺲ ﻹﻧﹾ ﹺ ِ ﺠﻦﱢ َﻭﭐ ﻦ ﭐﻟﹾ ﹺ َ ِﻣ from all jinn and mankind. min aljinni wal-insi ajma`¢na Peace of Allah the Allhigh and All-great, and peace of His favorite angels, sal¡mu all¡hi al`aliyyi al`a¨¢mi ﻢ ﻲ ﭐﹾﻟ َﻌﻈِﻴ ﹺ ﺳَﻼ ُﻡ ﭐﻟ ﱠﻠ ِﻪ ﭐﹾﻟ َﻌ ِﻠ ﱢ wa sal¡mu mal¡'ikatih¢ almuqarrab¢na ﻦ َ ﻜ ِﺘ ِﻪ ﭐﹾﻟ ُﻤ ﹶﻘ ﱠﺮﺑﹺﻴ ﻼِﺋ ﹶ ﻼ ُﻡ َﻣ ﹶ ﺳﹶ َ َﻭ His missioned Prophets, wa anbiy¡'ih¢ almursal¢na ﻦ َ ﺳﻠِﻴ َ ﻭَﺍ ﻧﹾ ﹺﺒﻴَﺎِﺋ ِﻪ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ْﺮ His choice Imams, wa a'immatih¢ almuntajab¢na ﻦ َ ﺠﺒﹺﻴ َ ﻭَﺍ ِﺋﻤﱠ ِﺘ ِﻪ ﭐﻟﹾ ُﻤ ﹾﻨ ﹶﺘ His righteous servants, wa `ib¡dih¢ al¥¥¡li¦¢na and all the martyrs and veracious ones, wa jam¢`i alshshuhad¡'i wal¥¥idd¢q¢na and all blessings that are pure and delightful, that are coming and going, be upon you, Muslim the son of `Aq¢l the son of Ab£-±¡lib. ﻦ َ ﺟ َﻤﻌِﻴ ْ ﺍ ﻦ َ َﻭ ِﻋﺒَﺎ ِﺩ ِﻩ ﭐﻟﺼﱠﺎِﻟﺤِﻴ ﺟﻤِﻴ ﹺ َ َﻭ ﻊ ﭐﻟﺸﱡﻬَﺪَﺍ ِﺀ ﻦ َ ﺼﺪﱢﻳﻘِﻴ َﻭﭐﻟ ﱢ walzz¡kiy¡tu al§§ayyib¡tu ﺕ ﻄ ﱢﻴﺒَﺎ ﹸ ﺕ ﭐﻟ ﱠ َﻭﭐﻟﺰﱠﺍ ِﻛﻴَﺎ ﹸ f¢m¡ taghtad¢ wa tar£¦u ﺡ ُ ﻓِﻴﻤَﺎ ﹶﺗ ﹾﻐ ﹶﺘﺪِﻱ َﻭﹶﺗﺮُﻭ `alayka y¡ muslimu bna `aq¢li bni ab¢ §¡libin ﻞ ﻦ َﻋﻘِﻴ ﹺ َ ﺴ ِﻠﻢُ ْﺑ ْ ﻚ ﻳَﺎ ُﻣ َ َﻋ ﹶﻠ ْﻴ ْﺑ ﹺ ﺐ ﻦ ﺍ ﺑﹺﻲ ﻃﹶﺎِﻟ ﹴ Masjid Kufa –Iraq Aamal www.Duas.org Pg 49 Allah’s mercy and benedictions be upon you. wa ra¦matu all¡hi wa barak¡tuh£ I bear witness that you performed the prayers, ashhadu annaka aqamta al¥¥al¡ta defrayed the zak¡t, wa ¡tayta alzzak¡ta enjoined the right, wa amarta bilma`r£fi forbade the wrong, wa nahayta `an almunkari strove in the way of Allah in the best manner of striving, wa j¡hadta f¢ all¡hi ¦aqqa jih¡dih¢ and you were slain following the course of those who strive in Allah’s way until you met Allah, to Whom belong all might and majesty, while He is pleased with you.
