Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 The Letter Daal (D) Dua (Supplication) Of His Eminence For The Believers In the epistle ( Tawqee ) received from His Eminence, quoted at the end of the book of Ihtijaaj it is mentioned: “Since we are continuously guarding them, with a prayer that is not concealed from the angels of the earth and the heavens, thus by this matter the hearts of our devotees and friends rest in peace.”[^1] The prominent Sayyid Ali Ibne Tawus, may Allah have mercy on him writes in his book, Muhajjud Dawaat : “I was in Surre-man-raa-ahu when I heard the supplication of that exalted personality early in the morning, in such a quantity that it refers to the alive and the dead; that from it a reminder came to remain with me: And keep them alive in our days of power, dominance and rulership.

This incident occurred on the eve of Wednesday, the 13th of the month of Zilqad of the year 638.” In Kafi through the author’s own chain of narrators it is narrated from His Eminence, Abu Abdillah Sadiq (as) from the Holy Prophet (S) that he said in his sermon delivered in Masjid Kheef: “There are three things that the heart of every Muslim is not dishonest about them: Sincerity of deeds for Allah Well-wishing for Imams and leaders of the Muslims Following their congregation, because their call is widespread for all those who are in its pursuit.”[^2] I say: It means the call (supplication) of the Imams (as).

In Kafi also from his chain of reporters it is narrated from a man of Quraish from the people of Mecca that: Sufyan Thawri said to him, “Take me to Ja’far bin Muhammad (as).” He says that I went with him to the Imam but when we reached there, he was mounted on his beast. Sufyan said: “O Aba Abdillah please repeat for us the sermon that the Messenger of Allah (S) delivered at Masjid Kheef.” He replied: “Leave it for the time being.

I am going out for some work and I will narrate it after I return, as I am already mounted.” He said: “I ask you for the sake of your relationship with the Messenger of Allah, tell us about it.” So His Eminence dismounted and Sufyan said: “Please call for pen and paper for me so that I may note it down from you directly.” So His Eminence called for ink and paper and said: “Write: Bismillaahir Rah’maanir Rah’eem.
