23RD NIGHT OF RAMADHAN

The twenty-third night of Ramaḍān, the last of the Qadr Nights, is more meritorious than the two previous ones; namely, the nineteenth and the twenty-first. Many narrations confirm that it is the Qadr Night at which all wise affairs are decided.

General Amaal of Shab -e- Qadr

Take a bath
It is recommended to bathe oneself on each of the Qadr Nights. According to ‘Allamah al-Majlisi, it is preferable to perform the bathing (ghusl) at sunset so as to be ready for the Isha’ Prayer.
2 rakaat prayer
It is recommended to offer a two unit prayer reciting at each unit Surah al-Fatehah once and repeating Surah al-Tawheed seven times. After the completion of the prayer, the following supplication should be repeated seventy times:
اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰه وَ اَتُوْبُ اِلَيْه
According to a hadith reported from the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.), Almighty Allah will forgive one who offers this prayer and will forgive his parents before he leaves his place.
Holy Qur'an amaal
It is recommended to open a copy of the Holy Qur’an between one’s hands and recite the following:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْاَلُكَ بِكِتَابِكَ الْمُنْزَلِ وَ مَا فِيْهِ وَ فِيْهِ اسْمُكَ الْاَكْبَرُ وَ اَسْمَاؤُكَ الْحُسْنَى وَ مَا يُخَافُ وَ يُرْجَى اَنْ تَجْعَلَنِي مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ.
Then, one may pray to God to fulfill one’s desires.

It is recommended to put a copy of the Holy Qur’an on the head and say the following:

اَللّٰهُمَّ بِحَقِّ هٰذَا الْقُرْآنِ وَ بِحَقِّ مَنْ اَرْسَلْتَهُ بِهِ وَ بِحَقِّ كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ مَدَحْتَهُ فِيهِ وَ بِحَقِّكَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَلَا اَحَدَ اَعْرَفُ بِحَقِّكَ مِنْكَ
Then, one should repeat each of the following ten times:
بِكَ يَا اللّٰهُ بِمُحَمَّدٍ بِعَلِيٍّ بِفَاطِمَةَ بِالْحَسَنِ بِالْحُسَيْنِ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بِجَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِمُوسَى بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُوسَى بِمُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بِعَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ بِالْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ بِالْحُجَّةِ
One should then pray Almighty Allah to fulfill one’s desires.
Visit tomb of Imam Husain (a)
It is advisable to visit the holy tomb of Imam al-Husayn (a) at these nights.

al-Kaf’ami has narrated that Imam Zayn al-’Abidin [as] used to recite this supplication frequently during the Qadr Nights while sitting, standing, genuflecting, and prostrating.
Ask for forgiveness
‘Allamah al-Majlisi has mentioned that the most favorable rite during the Qadr Nights is to implore for Almighty Allah’s forgiveness, to mention Him, to pray for the settlement of one’s worldly and religious affairs as well as for one’s parents, relatives, and brethren-in-faith; the dead and the alive, and to invoke blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household.
Dua Jawshan al-Kabir
It is recommended to say the famous supplication known as Dua al-Jawshan al-Kabir, on the three Qadr Nights.
Pray for good health

It is recommended to recite the following supplication that is mentioned in the book of Iqbal al-A’mal:
يَا بَاطِنا فِي ظُهُورِهِ وَ يَا ظَاهِرا فِي بُطُونِهِ وَ يَا بَاطِنا لَيْسَ يَخْفَى وَ يَا ظَاهِرا لَيْسَ يُرَى يَا مَوْصُوفا لا يَبْلُغُ بِكَيْنُونَتِهِ مَوْصُوفٌ وَ لا حَدٌّ مَحْدُودٌ وَ يَا غَائِبا [غَائِبُ‏] غَيْرَ مَفْقُودٍ وَ يَا شَاهِدا [شَاهِدُ] غَيْرَ مَشْهُودٍ يُطْلَبُ فَيُصَابُ وَ لا يَخْلُو [لَمْ يَخْلُ‏] مِنْهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَ الْاَرْضُ وَ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا طُرْفَةَ [طَرْفَةَ] عَيْنٍ لا يُدْرَكُ بِكَيْفٍ [بِكَيْفَ‏] وَ لا يُؤَيَّنُ بِاَيْنٍ [بِاَيْنَ‏] وَ لا بِحَيْثٍ [بِحَيْثُ‏] اَنْتَ نُورُ النُّورِ وَ رَبُّ الْاَرْبَابِ اَحَطْتَ بِجَمِيعِ الْاُمُورِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَيْسَ كَمِثْلِهِ شَيْ‏ءٌ وَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْبَصِيرُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ هُوَ هَكَذَا وَ لا هَكَذَا غَيْرُهُ
Then, one may pray for settling his needs.
Take a bath
It is recommended to do a new bathing, other than the first one, at the last hours of night. In fact, to bathe oneself, to spend the whole night with acts of worship, to visit the holy tomb of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.), and to offer the one hundred unit prayer at this night - all these deeds have been confirmed by narrations to be done at the twenty-third night of Ramaḍān.
100 rakaat prayer
In Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Shaykh al-Tusi has narrated that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) instructed Abu-Basir to offer at the night that is expected to be the Qadr Night a prayer of one hundred units reciting at each unit Surah al-Faatehah once and repeating Surah al-Tawheed ten times. “If I fail to do all the movements of this prayer, what will I do?” asked Abu-Basir. “You may then offer it while sitting,” said Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.). “What if I, too, fail to offer it while sitting?” asked Abu-Basir. “You may then offer it while lying on your bed,” said Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.).
Recitation of Holy Qur'an
‘Allamah al-Majlisi has confirmed that one should recite the Holy Qur'an as much as possible on this night and should also pray to Almighty Allah by reading the supplications from al-Sahifah al-Kamilah al-Sajjadiyyah in general and specifically supplications known as Makarim al-Akhlaq and al-Tawbah.
Misc
In the book of Da’a’im al-Islam, it is mentioned that the Holy Prophet [pbuh] used to roll up his bed and tie his garment so as to dedicate all his time to acts of worship at the last ten nights of Ramaḍān. He also used to awaken his family members at the twenty-third night of Ramaḍān (so as to practice acts of worship) by splashing water on their faces. Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’ [as], too, used to prevent her family members from sleeping at the twenty-third night of Ramaḍān by reducing the amount of food that she usually gave to them and by making them sleep at day so as not to be overcome by sleepiness at night. She then used to say, “The actual deprived one is he who is deprived of the good of this night.”

It has been also narrated that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq [as], at the twenty-third night of Ramaḍān, ordered his servants to carry him to the mosque because he was ailed. He spent that night in the mosque up to the next morning.

The sanctity of the Qadr Days should be considered by engaging oneself with acts of worship, recitation of the Holy Qur’an, and praying Almighty Allah. Through a considerable chain of authority, it has been narrated that the Qadr Days are as holy as the Qadr Nights.

Translation
In the Name of Allah, the All-Beneficent, the All-Merciful.

All praise be to Allah Who has taken away the shadowy night by His power and brought the sight-giving day through His mercy.
He has clothed me in its brightness and given me its favor.

O Allah, just as You have spared me for this day, so also spare me for its likes, bless the Prophet Muhammad and his Household, torment me not in it and in other nights and days by my commitment of unlawful acts and clothing myself in sins; provide me with its good, the good of all within it, and the good of everything after it; and turn away from me its evil, the evil of all within it, and the evil of everything after it!

O Allah, by the protective compact of Islam, I seek mediation with You! By the inviolability of the Quran, I rely upon You!
By Muhammad the chosen, Allah bless him and his Household, I seek intercession with You. So, recognize my protective compact
by which I hope my need will be granted, O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

O Allah, decree for me on Thursday five things,
which none embraces but Your generosity
and none supports but Your favors:
health through which I may have the strength to obey You,
worship by which I may deserve Your plentiful reward,
plenty in my state through lawful provision,
and that You make me secure in the places of fear through Your security,
and place me in Your fortress against the striking of worries and sorrows!

Bless Muhammad and his Household, and make my seeking his mediation as an intercessor give profit on the Day of Resurrection!
Surely, You are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!

This day is dedicated to Imam al-Hasan ibn Ali al-’Askari, peace be upon him. So, when you visit him on Thursdays, you are recommended to say the following:
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَلِيَّ اللّٰهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا حُجَّةَ اللّٰهِ وَ خَالِصَتَهُ اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا اِمَامَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ وَارِثَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ حُجَّةَ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ وَ عَلَىٰ آلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ يَا مَوْلَايَ يَا اَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ عَلِيٍّ اَنَا مَوْلًى لَكَ وَ لِآلِ بَيْتِكَ وَ هٰذَا يَوْمُكَ وَ هُوَ يَوْمُ الْخَمِيسِ وَ اَنَا ضَيْفُكَ فِيهِ وَ مُسْتَجِيرٌ بِكَ فِيهِ فَاَحْسِنْ ضِيَافَتِي وَ اِجَارَتِي بِحَقِّ آلِ بَيْتِكَ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

Glorification of Allah (swt)
Repeat very often the following invocation:
سبحان اللّه،و اللّه اكبر،و لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّاا اللّه اَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
It has been narrated that because Friday nights are illustrious and daytimes are brilliant, you may repeat very often the invocation of subhanallah, Allahu-akbar, and la-Ilaha-illallah.
Salawat on the Prophet (s) and his family
You may also invoke Almighty Allah’s blessings upon Muhammad and his Household very frequently at this night.

According to another narration, one may repeat the invocation of blessings upon Muhammad and his Household one hundred times at least at Friday nights. Yet, the more the better.

Imam al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) is reported as saying, “To invoke Almighty Allah’s blessings upon Muhammad and his Household at Friday nights is equal to winning one thousand rewards, having one thousand evildoings erased, and having one thousand ranks raised.”

It is recommended to start these invocations immediately after the Asr Prayer on Thursday up to the end of Friday daytime. In this regard, it has been authentically narrated that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) said, “On Thursday afternoons, angels from the heavens descend to the lowest space carrying golden pens and silver papers on which they record nothing except the invocations of blessings upon Muhammad and his Household."

Shaykh al-Tusi says it recommended, on Thursdays, to repeat the invocations of blessings upon Muhammad and his Household one thousand times in the following form:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُمْ وَ اَهْلِكْ عَدُوَّهُمْ مِنَ الْجِنِّ وَ الْاِنْسِ مِنَ الْاَوَّلِينَ وَ الْآخِرِينَ.
Great reward will be the share of him who utters this invocation from Thursday afternoons up to the last hour of Fridays.
Isteghfar
Shaykh al-Tusi has also recorded that it is recommended to say the following prayer of forgiveness at the last hour of Thursdays:
اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّاا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْهِ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ خَاضِعٍ مِسْكِينٍ مُسْتَكِينٍ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ لِنَفْسِهِ صَرْفاً وَ لَا عَدْلًا وَ لَا نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا مَوْتاً وَ لَا نُشُوراً وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ الْاَخْيَارِ الْاَبْرَارِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيما .
Recommended Surahs to be recited
At Friday nights, it is recommended to recite the following chapters (Surah) of the Holy Qur’an: (1) Surah al-Isra’ (Bani-Isra’il; No. 17), (2) Surah al-Kahf (No. 18), (3) the three Surahs beginning with Ya-Sin, i.e. Surah al-Shu’ara’ (No. 26), Surah al-Naml (No. 27), and Surah al-Qasas (No. 28), (4) Surah al-Sajdah (No. 32), (5) Surah Yasin (No. 36), (6) SurahSad (No. 38), (7) Surah al-Ahqaf (No. 46), (8) Surah al-Waqiah (No. 56), (9) Surah Fussilat (No. 41), (10) Surah al-Dukhan (No. 44), (11) Surah al-Tur (No. 52), (12) Surah al-Qamar (No. 54), and (13) Surah al-Jumu’ah (No. 62).

If there is not enough time to recite all these Surahs, one may choose Surah al-Waqiah and those preceding it [in the aforesaid list].
Imam al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) is reported to have said that one who recites Surah al-Isra’ each Friday night will join Imam al-Mahdi(عليه السلام) as one of his companions.

He (عليه السلام) is also reported as saying that one who recites Surah al-Kahf at Friday nights will die as martyr and will be resurrected with and in the line of the martyrs (on the Resurrection Day).

He (عليه السلام) is also reported as saying that one who recites the three Surahs beginning with Ya-Sin at Friday nights will be included with the intimate saints of Almighty Allah, will be made in the vicinity and under the protection of Him, will never be inflicted with misery in his worldly life, and will be given beyond his pleasure on the Resurrection Day.

He (عليه السلام) is also reported as saying that one who recites Surah al-Sajdah at Friday nights will be given his Record of Deeds in his right hand, will not be interrogated about his evildoings, and will be included with the companions of Muhammad and his Household - peace be upon them all.
Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (عليه السلام) is authentically reported to have said that one who recites Surah Sad at Friday nights will be granted the welfare of this world as well as the Next World in such an excellent way that none would deserve except Prophets and archangels and will be allowed to Paradise as well as all those whom he loves among his household including the servants.

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) is reported to have said that one who recites on Fridays or at Friday nights Surah al-Ahqaf will be saved, by Almighty Allah, from terrors in the worldly life and will be secured from the horror of the Resurrection Day.

He (عليه السلام) is also reported as saying that one who recites Surah al-Waqiah at Friday nights will be loved by Almighty Allah, all people will be made to love him, will be saved from all miseries, poverty, neediness, and misfortunes in this worldly life, and will be joined to the companions of Imam Ali Ameer al-Momineen (عليه السلام) because this Surah is ascribed to him.

It has been also narrated that to recite Surah al-Jumu’ah at Friday nights is decided as expiation (forgiving the sins) for the evildoings committed throughout the week. A similar merit has been narrated for reciting Surah al-Kahf at Friday nights or after the two obligatory Dhuhr and Asr Prayers on Fridays.

Recommended salaat
It is worth mentioning that it is highly recommended to offer many mustahab prayers at Friday nights such as Imam Ali’s Prayer, known as (Salat Ameer al-Momineen) and the two-unit prayer in each of which one should recite Surah al-Fātiḥah once and repeat Surah al-Zalzalah (No. 99) fifteen times. It has been narrated that one who offers this prayer will be saved, by Almighty Allah, from the grave torment and the horrors on the Resurrection Day.
Recommended Surahs to be recited during obligatory salaat
It is recommended to recite Surah al-Jumu’ah (No. 62) in the first unit of the Maghrib and Isha’ obligatory Prayers, and to recite Surah al-Tawḥīd (No. 112) in the second unit of the Maghrib Prayer and Surah al-A’la (No. 87) in the second unit of the Isha’ Prayer.
Avoid poetry
It is highly recommended to avoid reciting poetry at Friday nights. Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) is authentically reported to have said that it is abominable to say poetry for one observing fasting (sawm), the Muhrim (entering into Ihram: putting the pilgrimage uniform and entering the state of being performing the obligatory rites of the ritual Hajj), and on Fridays and at Friday nights. When he was asked whether this instruction is effective on the religiously acceptable poetry too, the Imam (عليه السلام) answered affirmatively.

It has been also authentically narrated on the authority of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said, “One who utters even one verse of poetry on Fridays and at Friday nights will have nothing of the rewards except that of uttering that poetry.”

According to another narration, the prayers of those who recite poetry on Fridays will not be accepted.

Pray for others
It is highly recommended to pray Almighty Allah for the good of one’s brethren-in-faith very frequently so as to copy the deed of Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’. According to a Hadith, one who prays for ten deceased individuals will be unquestionably allowed to enter Paradise.
Recommended supplications
It is also recommended to say the supplications dedicated to Fridays. Actually, these supplications are too numerous to be cited in this chapter; therefore, a few of them will be hereinafter mentioned:

Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) is authentically reported as saying that one who says the following supplication in the last prostration of the Isha’ supererogatory prayer at Friday nights and repeats it seven times will have all his sins forgiven as soon as he accomplishes that prayer. Yet, it is desirable to repeat this deed each night:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ .
The Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) is reported to have said that one who repeats the following supplication seven times at Friday night will be allowed Paradise if he departs life at that night; and one who repeats it seven times on Friday will be also allowed Paradise if he departs life on that day:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَ اَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ اَمَتِكَ وَ فِي قَبْضَتِكَ وَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ اَمْسَيْتُ عَلَىٰ عَهْدِكَ وَ وَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ اَعُوذُ بِرِضَاكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ اَبُوءُ بِنِعْمَتِكَ [بِعَمَلِي‏] وَ اَبُوءُ بِذَنْبِي [بِذُنُوبِي‏] فَاغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي اِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ .
Shaykh al-Tusi, Sayyid Ibn Tawus, al-Kaf’ami, and Sayyid Ibn Baqi have recorded that it is recommended to say the following supplication on Fridays and at Friday nights and on the day and night of ‘Arafat (the ninth of Dhu’l-Hijjah). However, the supplication will be hereinafter cited as quoted from Shaykh al-Tusi’s book of al-Misbah:

    This supplication was taught by Archangel Gabriel to Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) - peace be upon him - when he was in prison. Then, hold your beard with your right hand, raise your left hand towards the sky, and repeat the following supplication seven times:
    يَا رَبَّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
    Keeping on the same situation, recite the following supplication three times:
    يَا ذَا الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ ارْحَمْنِىْ وَ اَجِرْنِىْ مِنَ النّٰارِ.
    After repeating Surah al-Ikhlaas (or al-Tawḥīd; No. 112) twelve times, recite the following supplication:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْمَكْنُونِ الْمَخْزُونِ الطَّاهِرِ الطُّهْرِ الْمُبَارَكِ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظيْمِ وَ سُلْطَانِكَ الْقَدِيْمِ يَا وَاهِبَ الْعَطَايَا وَ يَا مُطْلِقَ الْاُسَارَى وَ يَا فَكَّاكَ الرِّقَابِ مِنَ النّٰارِ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تُعْتِقَ رَقَبَتِىْ مِنَ النّٰارِ وَ اَنْ تُخْرِجَنِىْ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا سَالِماً وَ [اَنْ] تُدْخِلَنِى الْجَنَّةَ آمِناً وَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ دُعاَئِىْ اَوَّلَهُ فَلَاحاً وَ اَوْسَطَهُ نَجَاحاً وَ آخِرَهُ صَلَاحاً اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ عَلاَّمُ الْغُيُوبِ
    According to al-Sahifah al-Alawiyyah (a collection of Imam Ali’s supplications), the following supplication is recommended to be recited after the obligatory prayers:
    يَا مَنْ لَا يَشْغَلُهُ سَمْعٌ عَنْ سَمْعٍ وَ يَا مَنْ لَا يُغَلِّطُهُ السَّائِلُوْنَ وَ يَا مَنْ لَايُبْرِمُهُ اِلْحاحُ المُلِحِّينَ اَذِقْنِىْ بَرْدَ عَفْوِكَ وَ حَلَاوَةَ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ
    You may also recite the following supplication:
    اِلٰهِىْ هٰذِهِ صَلَوٰتِىْ صَلَّيْتُهَا لَا لِحَاجَةٍ مِنْكَ اِلَيْهَا وَ لَا رَغْبَةٍ مِنْكَ فِيْهَا إِلَّا تَعْظِيْماً وَ طَاعَةً وَاِجَابَةً لَكَ اِلٰى مَا اَمَرْتَنِىْ بِهِ اِلٰهِىْ اِنْ كَانَ فِيْهَا خَلَلٌ اَوْ نَقْصٌ مِنْ رُكُوْعِهَا اَوْ سُجُوْدِهَا فَلَا تُؤَ اخِذْنِى وَ تَفَضَّلْ عَلَىَّ بِالْقَبُوْلِ وَ الْغُفْرَانِ .
    After completion of the ritual prayers, you may also recite the following supplication, which the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) taught to Imam Ali Ameer al-Momineen(عليه السلام) for good memory:
    سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَايَعْتَدِىْ عَلٰى اَهْلِ مَمْلَكَتِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَا يَاْخُذُ اَهْلَ الْاَرْضِ بِاَلْوَانِ الْعَذَابِ سُبْحَانَ الرَّؤُفِ الرَّحِيْمِ اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لِىْ فِى قَلْبِى نُوْراً وَ بَصَراً وَ فَهْماً وَ عِلْماً اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْ ءٍ قَديرٌ .
    Al-Kaf’ami, in his book of al-Misbah, cites that it is recommended to repeat the following supplication three times after obligatory prayers:
    اُعِيْذُ نَفْسِىْ وَ دِيْنِى وَ اَهْلِى وَ مَالِىْ وَ وَلَدِىْ وَ اِخْوَانِى فىِ دِيْنِى وَ مَا رَزَقَنِى رَبِّى وَ خَوَاتِيْمَ عَمَلِى وَ مَنْ يَعْنِيْنِى اَمْرُهُ بِاللّهِ الْوَاحِدِ الْاَحَدِ الصَّمَدِ الَّذِىْ لَمْ يَلِدْ وَ لَمْ يُولَدْ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً اَحَدٌ وَ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ اِذَا وَقَبَ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّفَّاثٰاتِ فِى الْعُقَدِ وَ مِنْ شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ اِذَا حَسَدَ وَ بِرَبِّ النّٰاسِ مَلِكِ النّٰاسِ اِلٰهِ النّٰاسِ مِنْ شَرِّ الْوَسْوَاسِ الْخَنّٰاسِ الَّذِىْ يُوَسْوِسُ فِى صُدُوْرِ النّٰاسِ مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَ النّٰاسِ.
    It is narrated in an inscription handwritten by Shaykh al-Shahid that the Holy Prophet (صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم) said: Whoever desires that Almighty Allah will not show him his evildoings (that he did in this world) on the Resurrection Day and will not open the record of his evildoings, should recite the following supplication after each obligatory prayer:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ اَرْجِى مِنْ عَمَلِى وَ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَكَ اَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبِى اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ كَانَ ذَنْبِى عِنْدَكَ عَظِيْماً فَعَفْوُكَ اَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِىْ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ لَمْ اَكُنْ اَهْلاً اَنْ اَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ فَرَحْمَتُكَ اَهْلٌ اَنْ تَبْلُغَنِى وَ تَسَعَنِى لِاَنَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَااَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ
    Ibn Baabwayh (i.e. Shaykh al-Saduq) holds that one should say the following immediately after reciting Tasbih al-Zahra’:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اَنْتَ السَّلَامُ وَ مِنْكَ السَّلَامُ وَ لَكَ السَّلَامُ وَ اِلَيْكَ يَعُودُ السَّلَامُ سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ الْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُوْنَ وَ سَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ اَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَى الْاَئِمَّةِ الْهَادِيْنَ الْمَهْدِيِّينَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى جَمِيْعِ اَنْبِياَءِ اللّٰهِ وَ رُسُلِهِ وَ مَلاَئِكَتِهِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَ عَلٰى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى عَلِىٍّ اَمِيْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِيْنَ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ سَيِّدَىْ شَبابِ اَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ اَجْمَعِيْنَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى عَلِىِّ بْنِ الْحُسَيْنِ زَيْنِ الْعَابِدِيْنَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ بَاقِرِ عِلْمِ النَّبِيّينَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الصَّادِقِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى مُوْسَىٰ بْنِ جَعْفَرٍ الْكَاظِمِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى عَلِىِّ بْنِ مُوْسَىٰ الرِّضَا اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِىٍّ الْجَوَادِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلٰى عَلِىٍّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَادِىْ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِي الزَّكِىِّ الْعَسْكَرِىِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَى الْحُجَّةِ بْنِ الْحَسَنِ الْقَائِمِ الْمَهْدِىِّ صَلَوَاتُ اللّٰهِ عَلَيْهِمْ اَجْمَعِينَ.
    After reciting this, one may pray to Almighty Allah to grant him all his personal desires. Shaykh al-Kaf’ami has also said that one should recite the following after the completion of the obligatory prayers:
    رَضِيْتُ بِاللّٰهِ رَبّاً وبِالْاِسْلَامِ دِيْناً وَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِهِ نَبِيّاً وَ بِعَلِىٍّ اِمَاماً وَ بِالْحَسَنِ وَ الْحُسَيْنِ وَ عَلِىٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ جَعْفَرٍ وَ مُوسَىٰ وَ عَلِىٍّ وَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلِىٍّ وَ الْحَسَنِ وَ الْخَلَفِ الصَّالِحِ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ اَئِمَّةً وَ سَادَةً وَ قَادَةً بِهِمْ اَتَوَلّٰى وَ مِنْ اَعْدَائِهِمْ اَتَبَرَّءُ
    Then repeat the following supplication three times:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّى اَسْئَلُكَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ وَ الْمُعَافَاةَ فِى الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ .
    Fajr

    Taqibaat -e- Salat Fajr

    After the dawn (fajr) prayer, recite the following supplication, as quoted from Misbah al-Mutahajjid:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اهْدِنِي لِمَا اخْتُلِفَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحَقِّ بِاِذْنِكَ اِنَّكَ تَهْدِي مَنْ تَشَاءُ اِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ.
    Then, recite the following 10 times:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْاَوْصِيَاءِ الرَّاضِينَ الْمَرْضِيِّينَ بِاَفْضَلِ صَلَوَاتِكَ وَ بَارِكْ عَلَيْهِمْ بِاَفْضَلِ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ عَلٰى اَرْوَاحِهِمْ وَ اَجْسَادِهِمْ وَ رَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَ بَرَكَاتُهُ .
    This invocation of God’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household has also been reported to be recited on Fridays with a great reward. Also, recite the following:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اَحْيِنِي عَلٰى مَا اَحْيَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيَّ بْنَ اَبِي طَالِبٍ وَ اَمِتْنِي عَلٰى مَا مَاتَ عَلَيْهِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ اَبِي طَالِبٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامْ.
    Also, repeat each of the following statements one hundred times:
    اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْهِاَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَاَسْتَجِيرُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ النَّارِوَ اَسْأَلُهُ الْجَنَّةَاَسْأَلُ اللهَ الْحُورَ الْعِينَ .لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْمَلِكُ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُصَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍسُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِمَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ كَانَ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
    You may then recite the following:
    اَصْبَحْتُ اللّٰهُمَّ مُعْتَصِمًا بِذِمَامِكَ الْمَنِيعِ الَّذِي لَا يُطَاوَلُ وَ لَا يُحَاوَلُ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ غَاشِمٍ وَ طَارِقٍ مِنْ سَائِرِ مَنْ خَلَقْتَ وَ مَا خَلَقْتَ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ الصَّامِتِ وَ النَّاطِقِ فِي جُنَّةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ مَخُوفٍ بِلِبَاسٍ سَابِغَةٍ وَلَاءِ اَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ مُحْتَجِبًا مِنْ كُلِّ قَاصِدٍ لِي اِلَىٰ اَذِيَّةٍ بِجِدَارٍ حَصِينٍ الْاِخْلَاصِ فِي الْاِعْتِرَافِ بِحَقِّهِمْ وَ التَّمَسُّكِ بِحَبْلِهِمْ مُوْقِناً اَنَّ الْحَقَّ لَهُمْ وَ مَعَهُمْ وَ فِيهِمْ وَ بِهِمْ اُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَوْا وَ اُجَانِبُ مَنْ جَانَبُوا فَاَعِذْنِي اَللّٰهُمَّ بِهِمْ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا اَتَّقِيهِ يَا عَظِيمُ حَجَزْتُ الْاَعَادِيَ عَنِّي بِبَدِيعِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ اِنَّا جَعَلْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ اَيْدِيهِمْ سَدّاً وَ مِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدّاً فَاَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لَا يُبْصِرُونَ .
    This supplication, which is reported from Imam AliAmeer al-Momineen(عليه السلام) at the Night of Mabit, is advisably said each morning and evening. In Tahdhib al-Ahkam (by Shaykh al-Tusi), it is reported that whoever repeats the following ten times after the Dawn Prayers, Almighty Allah will save him from blindness, insanity, leprosy, poverty, and (house) demolition or dotage:
    سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
    Shaykh al-Kulayni reports Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) as saying: Whoever repeats the following seven times after the Dawn and Sunset Prayers, Almighty Allah will saved him from seventy kinds of misfortune the least of which are flatulence, leprosy, and insanity; and his name will be erased from the list of the condemned ones, if it was listed there, and will be added to the list of the successful ones:
    بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ
    Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) is also reported to have said that one who desires to enjoy both the worldly life and the next world, and one who has eye ache, should utter the following supplication after the dawn and sunset prayers:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْكَ صَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اجْعَلِ النُّوْرَ فِي بَصَرِيْ وَ الْبَصِيرَةَ فِي دِينِي وَ الْيَقِينَ فِي قَلْبِي وَ الْاِخْلَاصَ فِي عَمَلِي وَ السَّلَامَةَ فِي نَفْسِي وَ السَّعَةَ فِي رِزْقِي وَ الشُّكْرَ لَكَ اَبَداً مَا اَبْقَيْتَنِي
    In ‘Uddat al-Dai, Shaykh Ibn Fahad reports Imam Alī ibn Mūsā ar-Riḍā (عليه السلام) to have said: Whoever recites the following after the Dawn Prayer, will have all his requests made easy-to-gain for him and will be saved by Almighty Allah against every thing that aggrieves him:
    بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اُفَوِّضُ اَمْرِي اِلَى اللّٰهِ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ بَصِيرٌ بِالْعِبَادِ فَوَقَاهُ اللّٰهُ سَيِّئَاتِ مَا مَكَرُوْا لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ حَسْبُنَا اللّٰهُ وَ نِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ فَانْقَلَبُوا بِنِعْمَةٍ مِنَ اللّٰهِ وَ فَضْلٍ لَمْ يَمْسَسْهُمْ سُوءٌ مَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ مَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ لَا مَا شَاءَ النَّاسُ،مَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ وَ اِنْ كَرِهَ النَّاسُ حَسْبِيَ الرَّبُّ مِنَ الْمَرْبُوبِينَ حَسْبِيَ الْخَالِقُ مِنَ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ الرَّازِقُ مِنَ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ حَسْبِي مَنْ هُوَ حَسْبِي حَسْبِي مَنْ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي حَسْبِي مَنْ كَانَ مُذْ كُنْتُ لَمْ يَزَلْ حَسْبِي حَسْبِيَ اللّٰهُ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَ هُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ.
    Dhuhr

    Taqibaat -e- Salat Dhuhr

    Subsequent to the noon (Dhuhr) prayer, recite the following supplication, which is quoted from Misbah al-Mutahajjid:
    لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ الْعَظِيمُ الْحَلِيمُ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْكَرِيمُ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ مُوْجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ الْغَنِيمَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ بِرٍّ وَ السَّلَامَةَ مِنْ كُلِّ اِثْمٍ اَللّٰهُمَّ لَا تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْباً إِلَّا غَفَرْتَهُ وَ لَا هَمّاً إِلَّا فَرَّجْتَهُ وَ لَا سُقْماً إِلَّا شَفَيْتَهُ وَ لَا عَيْباً إِلَّا سَتَرْتَهُ وَ لَا رِزْقاً إِلَّا بَسَطْتَهُ وَ لَا خَوْفاً إِلَّا آمَنْتَهُ وَ لَا سُوْءاً إِلَّا صَرَفْتَهُ وَ لَا حَاجَةً هِيَ لَكَ رِضاً وَ لِيَ فِيهَا صَلَاحٌ إِلَّا قَضَيْتَهَا يَااَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ
    You may then repeat the following 10 times:
    بِاللّٰهِ اعْتَصَمْتُ وَ بِاللّٰهِ اَثِقُ وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ اَتَوَكَّلُ
    You may then recite the following supplication:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ عَظُمَتْ ذُنُوبِي فَاَنْتَ اَعْظَمُ وَ اِنْ كَبُرَ [كَثُرَ] تَفْرِيْطِي فَاَنْتَ اَكْبَرُ وَ اِنْ دَامَ بُخْلِي فَاَنْتَ اَجْوَدُ اَللّٰهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي عَظِيمَ ذُنُوبِي بِعَظِيمِ عَفْوِكَ وَ كَثِيرَ تَفْرِيطِي بِظَاهِرِ كَرَمِكَ وَ اقْمَعْ بُخْلِي بِفَضْلِ جُودِكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْكَ
    Asr

    Taqibaat -e- Salat Asr

    As mentioned in Misbah al-Mutahajjid, after the afternoon (Asr) prayers, recite the following supplication:
    اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ الَّذِي لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ الرَّحْمٰنُ الرَّحِيمُ ذُو [ذَا] الْجَلَالِ وَ الْاِكْرَامِ وَ اَسْأَلُهُ اَنْ يَتُوبَ عَلَيَّ تَوْبَةَ عَبْدٍ ذَلِيلٍ خَاضِعٍ فَقِيرٍ بَائِسٍ مِسْكِينٍ مُسْتَكِينٍ مُسْتَجِيرٍ لَا يَمْلِكُ لِنَفْسِهِ نَفْعاً وَ لَا ضَرّاً وَ لَا مَوْتاً وَ لَا حَيَاةً وَ لَا نُشُوراً
    You may then recite the following supplication:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ نَفْسٍ لَا تَشْبَعُ وَ مِنْ قَلْبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ، وَ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ لَا تُرْفَعُ وَ مِنْ دُعَاءٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ الْيُسْرَ بَعْدَ الْعُسْرِ وَ الْفَرَجَ بَعْدَ الْكَرْبِ وَ الرَّخَاءَ بَعْدَ الشِّدَّةِ اَللّٰهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْكَ.
    Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) is reported as saying: Anyone who implores Almighty Allah for forgiveness (i.e. astaghfirullah) seventy times after the Asr prayer will have seven hundred of his sins forgiven.   Imam Muhammad al-Taqi (al-Jawad) (عليه السلام) is also reported as saying: Anyone who recites Surah al-Qadr (No. 97) ten times after the Asr prayer will be granted the reward of the deeds of all creatures on that day.   It is also recommended to recite Dua al-Ashraat every morning and evening. Yet, the best time for this supplication is the time after the Asr prayers on Fridays.
    Maghrib

    Taqibaat -e- Salat Maghrib

    After completion of Tasbih al-Zahra’, it is recommended to recite the following invocation of blessings:
    اِنَّ اللّٰهَ وَ مَلَائِكَتَهُ يُصَلُّوْنَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ يَا اَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا صَلُّوا عَلَيْهِ وَ سَلِّمُوا تَسْلِيماً اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ عَلٰى ذُرِّيَّتِهِ وَ عَلٰى اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ
    Then, repeat the following seven times:
    بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ.
    Then, repeat the following three times:
    اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ
    Then, recite the following supplication:
    سُبْحَانَكَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ اغْفِرْ لِي ذُنُوبِي كُلَّهَا جَمِيعًا فَاِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ كُلَّهَا جَمِيعاً إِلَّا اَنْتَ:
    You may then offer the sunset supererogatory (nafilah) prayer, which consists of four units of prayer (of 2 rakat each). You should not utter any word between the two parts of the prayer. According to the Shaykh, it has been narrated that Surah al-Kafirun (No. 109) should be recited in the first unit and Surah al-Tawḥīd in the second. In the third and fourth units, it is optional to recite any other Surah desired. It has been also narrated that Imam Ali al-Naqi (al-Hadi) (عليه السلام) used to recite, in the third unit (Rak’ah) of this prayer, Surah al-Fātiḥah and the first six verses (Ayahs) of Surah al-Hadid, and in the fourth unit, Surah al-Fātiḥah and the last four verses of Surah al-Hashr. It is also recommended to repeat the following supplication seven times in the last prostration (sajdah) of all supererogatory prayers each night, especially at Friday nights (i.e. the night before Friday):
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَ اسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ وَ مُلْكِكَ الْقَدِيمِ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذَنْبِيَ الْعَظِيمَ اِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الْعَظِيمَ إِلَّا الْعَظِيم
    When you accomplish the supererogatory prayer, you may recite any supplication you like. You may then repeat the following ten times:
    مَا شَاءَ اللّٰهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللّٰهِ اَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ
    You may then add the following:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ مُوْجِبَاتِ رَحْمَتِكَ وَ عَزَائِمَ مَغْفِرَتِكَ وَ النَّجَاةَ مِنَ النَّارِ وَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلِيَّةٍ وَ الْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّةِ وَ الرِّضْوَانَ [الرِّضْوَانِ‏] فِي دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَ جِوَارَ [جِوَارِ] نَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ السَّلَامُ اَللّٰهُمَّ مَا بِنَا مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ فَمِنْكَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَ اَتُوبُ اِلَيْكَ
    THE GHUFAYLAH PRAYER
    You may then offer the Ghufaylah Prayer in the period between the sunset (maghrib) and the evening (Isha’) Prayers. This prayer consists of two units in the first of which you should recite, after Surah al-Fātiḥah, the following verses (Surah al-Anbiya’ 21:87-88):
    وَ ذَا النُّونِ اِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغَاضِباً فَظَنَّ اَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَى فِي الظُّلُمَاتِ اَنْ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ اِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَ نَجَّيْنَاهُ مِنَ الْغَمِّ وَ كَذٰلِكَ نُنْجِي الْمُؤْمِنِينَ .
    In the second unit, you should recite, after Surah al-Fātiḥah, the following verse (6:59):
    وَ عِنْدَهُ مَفَاتِحُ الْغَيْبِ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا هُوَ وَ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الْبَرِّ وَ الْبَحْرِ وَ مَا تَسْقُطُ مِنْ وَرَقَةٍ إِلَّا يَعْلَمُهَا وَ لَا حَبَّةٍ فِي ظُلُمَاتِ الْاَرْضِ وَ لَا رَطْبٍ وَ لَا يَابِسٍ إِلَّا فِي كِتَابٍ مُبِينٍ
    After that, you should raise your both hands for Qunut, saying:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَسْأَلُكَ بِمَفَاتِحِ الْغَيْبِ الَّتِي لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اَنْتَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا.
    You may then mention your needs. Then, recite the following:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اَنْتَ وَلِيُّ نِعْمَتِي وَ الْقَادِرُ عَلٰى طَلِبَتِي تَعْلَمُ حَاجَتِي فَاَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ عَلَيْهِ وَ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّلَامُ لَمَّا قَضَيْتَهَا لِي.
    You may then pray to Him for your personal needs, for it has been narrated that anyone who offers this prayer and supplicates Almighty Allah will have his requests granted.
    Isha

    Taqibaat -e- Salat Isha

    After the evening Prayer, you are recommended to recite the following supplication, as is quoted from Misbah al-Mutahajjid:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِي وَ اِنَّمَا اَطْلُبُهُ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلٰى قَلْبِي فَاَجُولُ فِي طَلَبِهِ الْبُلْدَانَ فَاَنَا فِيمَا اَنَا طَالِبٌ كَالْحَيْرَانِ لَا اَدْرِي اَ فِي سَهْلٍ هُوَ اَمْ فِي جَبَلٍ اَمْ فِي اَرْضٍ اَمْ فِي سَمَاءٍ اَمْ فِي بَرٍّ اَمْ فِي بَحْرٍ وَ عَلٰى يَدَيْ مَنْ وَ مِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ وَ قَدْ عَلِمْتُ اَنَّ عِلْمَهُ عِنْدَكَ وَ اَسْبَابَهُ بِيَدِكَ وَ اَنْتَ الَّذِي تَقْسِمُهُ بِلُطْفِكَ وَ تُسَبِّبُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ اجْعَلْ يَا رَبِّ رِزْقَكَ لِي وَاسِعاً وَ مَطْلَبَهُ سَهْلاً وَ مَأْخَذَهُ قَرِيباً وَ لَا تُعَنِّنِي بِطَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِي فِيهِ رِزْقًا فَاِنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي [عَنَائِي‏] وَ اَنَا فَقِيرٌ اِلٰى رَحْمَتِكَ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ وَ جُدْ عَلٰى عَبْدِكَ بِفَضْلِكَ اِنَّكَ ذُوْ فَضْلٍ عَظِيمٍ.
    It is worth mentioning that the above mentioned supplication is one of the supplications restricted to seeking sustenance.
    THE WUTAYRAH PRAYER
    Upon completion of the evening Prayer, it is recommended to recite Surah al-Qadr (No. 97) seven times and offer the Wutayrah supererogatory prayer, which consists of two units and should be offered in the position of sitting by reciting one hundred verses of the Holy Qur’an in both the units. Hence, it is recommended to recite Surah al-Waqiah (No. 56) in the first unit and Surah al-Tawḥīd in the second.
    Supplications at Sunrise & Sunrise
    Too many are the supplications that have been reported from the Holy Prophet and the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, to be recited at the time of sunrise and sunset. Besides, verses from the Holy Qur’an and traditions of the Infallibles, peace be upon them, have urged on and awakened desires for the persistence on reciting such supplications at these two times of the day. However, let us mention a few number of these authenticated supplications:
    Supplication 1
    Master Hadithists have narrated, through authenticated chain of authority (sanad), that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(عليه السلام) said: It is incumbent upon each and every Muslim to recite the following supplication ten times before sunrise and ten times before sunset:
    لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُمِيتُ وَ يُحْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ .
    According to some narrations, this supplication should be made up if it is missed because it is obligatory.
    Supplication 2
    Through trustworthy chains of authority too, Imam al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) is reported to have said: Before sunrise and sunset, repeat ten times the following supplication:
    اَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنْ هَمَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ اَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ اَنْ يَحْضُرُونِ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ.
    Supplication 3
    Imam al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) is also reported to have said: Nothing should divert you from reciting the following supplication three times each morning and evening:
    اَللّٰهُمَّ مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَ الْاَبْصَارِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلٰى دِينِكَ وَ لَا تُزِغْ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ اِذْ هَدَيْتَنِي وَ هَبْ لِي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً اِنَّكَ اَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ وَ اَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ اَللّٰهُمَّ امْدُدْ لِي فِي عُمْرِيْ وَ اَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ فِي رِزْقِي وَ انْشُرْ عَلَيَّ رَحْمَتَكَ وَ اِنْ كُنْتُ عِنْدَكَ فِي اُمِّ الْكِتَابِ شَقِيًّا فَاجْعَلْنِي سَعِيْدًا فَاِنَّكَ تَمْحُو مَا تَشَاءُ وَ تُثْبِتُ وَ عِنْدَكَ اُمُّ الْكِتَابِ.
    Supplication 4
    Imam al-Sadiq (عليه السلام) is also reported to have instructed to recite the following supplication every morning and evening:
    اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَا يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا يُحِبُّ اللّٰهُ اَنْ يُحْمَدَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَمَا هُوَ اَهْلُهُ اَللَّهُمَّ اَدْخِلْنِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ اَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مُحَمَّدًا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَخْرِجْنِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ اَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ مُحَمَّدًا وَ آلَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
    Supplication 5
    Repeat the following 10 times each morning and evening:
    سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ لَا اِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَ اللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ .
    Supplication 6
    Dua al-Asharat is one of the recommended supplications to be recited every morning and evening.
