Shaykh Tabarsi (a.r.), the renowned commentator of the Holy Quran, has recorded this supplication in his book ‘Kunooz al-Najaah’ and says, ‘This supplication was taught by our master Saaheb al-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.) to Abul Hasan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi al-Lais in the city of Baghdad at the Graves of Quraish ( مقابر قريش ), where the latter had taken refuge, due to fear of death. On account of the blessings of this supplication, he was saved. This dua’a is attributed to the living Imam Mehdi (atfs). It brings immediate help from our living imam. It is recommended to be recited often by Ulama .Kafami says in his book Baladul Amin that if a wrongfully confined prisoner recites this dua’a he will soon be set free.
If a person find himself surrounded by misfortunes or intrigues he must recite this dua’a to come through tight situations, deadlock and crises.
اِلٰهِيْ عَظُمَ الْبَلَاۤءُ، وَبَرِحَ الْخَفَاۤءُ، وَانْكَشَفَ الْغِطَاۤءُ، وَانْقَطَعَ الرَّجَاۤءُ، وَضَاقَتِ الْاَرْضُ، وَمُنِعَتِ السَّمَاۤءُ، وَاَنْتَ الْمُسْتَعَانُ، وَاِلَيْكَ الْمُشْتَكٰى، وَعَلَيْكَ الْمُعَوَّلُ فِي الشِّدَّةِ وَالرَّخَاۤءِ۔
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَاٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، اُوْلِى الْاَمْرِ الَّذِيْنَ فَرَضْتَ عَلَيْنَا طَاعَتَهُمْ، وَعَرَّفْتَنَا بِذٰلِكَ مَنْزِلَتَهُمْ، فَفَرِّجْ عَنَّا بِحَقِّهِمْ فَرَجًا عَاجِلًا قَرِيْبًا كَلَمْحِ الْبَصَرِ اَوْ هُوَ اَقْرَبُ، يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا عَلِيُّ، يَا عَلِيُّ يَا مُحَمَّدُ، اِكْفِيَانِيْ فَاِنَّكُمَا كَافِيَانِ، وَانْصُرَانِيْ فَاِنَّكُمَا نَاصِرَانِ، يَا مَوْلَانَا يَا صَاحِبَ الزَّمَانِ، اَلْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ الْغَوْثَ، اَدْرِكْنِيْ اَدْرِكْنِيْ اَدْرِكْنِيْ، اَلسَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ، اَلْعَجَلَ الْعَجَلَ الْعَجَلَ، يَاۤ اَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِيْنَ بِحَقِّ مُحَمَّدٍ وَاٰلِهِ الطَّاهِرِيْنَ۔
O Allah, terrible was the calamity, and its evil consequences are visible, the covering has been removed, (all) hopes have been cut off, the (plentiful) earth has shrunk (with very little to spare), the heavenly blessings have been withheld. You alone can help, we refer our grief and sorrow to You, we have full faith in You, in the time of distress, as well as in good fortune. O Allah, send blessings on Muhammad and on the children of Muhammad, whom we must obey as per Your command, through which we become aware of their rank and status, and let there be joy after sorrow for us, for their sake, right away, in the twinkle of an eye, more rapidly than that. O Muhammad, O Ali, O Ali, O Muhammad, Give me enough, because both of you provide sufficiently. Help me, because both of you help and protect.
O our master, O the living Imam, HELP! HELP! HELP! Reach me! Reach me! Reach me!
At once, in this hour. Be quick, be quick, be quick, O the most merciful, for the sake of Muhammad and his pure children.
