Ziyarat Imam Husain(as) on Qadr / Eid

7

Imam Zainul-Abideen (a.s) used to recite this dua very frequently at the Qadr nights while sitting, standing, in rukuu’, and prostrating as narrated in Al-Kaf`amiy:

اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي امْسَيْتُ لَكَ عَبْداً دَاخِراً
allahumma inni amsaytu laka `abdan dakhiran
I have passed the evening as a very humble servant of Yours

لاَ امْلِكُ لِنَفْسِي نَفْعاً وَلاَ ضَرّاً
la amliku linafsi naf`an wa la darran
I have no control over the gains and losses for my self

وَلاَ اصْرِفُ عَنْهَا سُوءً
wa la asrifu `anha su’an
and I cannot drive back any evil from myself.

اشْهَدُ بِذٰلِكَ عَلَىٰ نَفْسِي
ashhadu bidhalika `ala nafsi
I testify to this against myself.

وَاعْتَرِفُ لَكَ بِضَعْفِ قُوَّتِي وَقِلَّةِ حِيلَتِي
wa a`tarifu laka bida`fi quwwati wa qillati hilati
To You do I confess of my powerlessness and my feebleness.

فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
fasalli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin
So, (please do) send blessings to Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad

وَانْجِزْ لِي مَا وَعَدْتَنِي
wa anjiz li ma wa`adtani
and fulfill what You have promised me,

وَجَمِيعَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٱلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ
wa jami`a almu’minina walmu’minati
as well as all the believing men and women;

مِنَ ٱلْمَغْفِرَةِ فِي هٰذِهِ ٱللَّيْلَةِ
min almaghfirati fi hadhihi allaylati
that is Your forgiveness at this night,

وَاتْمِمْ عَلَيَّ مَا آتَيْتَنِي
wa atmim `alayya ma ataytani
and accomplish that which You have conferred upon me,

فَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ ٱلْمِسكِينُ ٱلْمُسْتَكِينُ
fa’inni `abduka almiskinu almustakinu
for I am Your slave—the poor, the humble,

ٱلضَّعِيفُ ٱلْفَقِيرُ ٱلْمَهِينُ
aldda`ifu alfaqiru almahinu
the weak, the needy, and the humiliated.

اللَّهُمَّ لاَ تَجْعَلْنِي نَاسِياً لِذِكْرِكَ فِيمَا اوْلَيْتَنِي
allahumma la taj`alni nasiyan lidhikrika fima awlaytani
O Allah, (please) do not make me negligent of Your mention as regards that which You have bestowed upon me,

وَلاَ غَافِلاً لإِحْسَانِكَ فِيمَا اعْطَيْتَنِي
wa la ghafilan li’ihsanika fima a`taytani
do not make me inadvertent to Your favors to me as regards that which You have given me,

وَلاَ آيِساً مِنْ إِجَابَتِكَ وَإِنْ اَبْطَاتْ عَنِّي
wa la ayisan min ijabatika wa in abta’at `anni
do not make me despair of Your responding to me, even if such response is postponed,

فِي سَرَّاءَ اوْ ضَرَّاءَ
fi sarra’a aw darra’a
whether I be in prosperity, adversity,

اوْ شِدَّةٍ اوْ رَخَاءٍ
aw shiddatin aw rakha’in
hardship, comfort,

اوْ عَافِيَةٍ اوْ بَلاءٍ
aw `afiyatin aw bala’in
wellbeing, ordeal,

اوْ بُؤْسٍ اوْ نَعْمَاءَ
aw bu’sin aw na`ma’a
misery, or bliss.

إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ ٱلدُّعَاءِ
innaka sami`u alddu`a’i
Verily, You are the Hearer of prayers.
