It has been narrated by Abdullah bin Abbas that one night I went to the Masjid-e-Nabbivi -saww to offer my late-night prayers and saw Amir-ul-Momineen -asws offering his supplications. I decided to sit in a corner and listen to Mola Ali -asws’ s recitation of Quran and prayers. After completing Salat ( late night prayers, shafa and witr) , Mola -asws recited supplications which I had never heard before.

Later, I approached Imam Ali -asws and said may I be your ransom; please tell me more about those prayers which I have never heard before.

Mola Ali -asws then replied, it was ‘Dua-e-Sanam-e-Quraish’ and added, I swear to Allah -azwj who owns the lives of Mohammad -saww and Ali -asws , whosoever would recite this prayer will get an extra-ordinary reward from the Lord; similar to assisting Prophet Mohammad -saww during the battles of ‘Ohad, Badar, Hunain and Tabuuq’ and would achieve the martyred status in the presence of the Prophet -saww .

And the reward of 100 Hajj and Umara as an associate of Prophet Mohammad -saww as well as ‘Sawab’ of 1000 months of fasting. In addition, one will be on the side of Rasool-Allah -saww and Aimah Masomeen -asws on the Day of Judgement and Allah will forgive all his/her sins, despite the fact if his/her had committed sins are equivalent to the stars in the sky, grains of sand in the wilderness and leaves of all trees.

Also the one who recites it will be saved from punishment in the grave, and a window from heaven will be installed in his/her grave. Insha-Allah, prayers will be rewarded, through the sanctity of the supplication, and Oh! Ibn e Abbas if any of our friends is, in particular, engulfed by hardship, he/she would surely find a refuge through recitation of this prayer.
