Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Mikyalul Makarim Fee Fawaaid ad-Duaa Lil Qai’m vol. 1 The Letter Meem (M) Marabata (Vigil) Of His Eminence In The Path Of God We shall, if Allah the High wills, would explain the meaning and excellence of Marabat in Part Eight. As for the merit of praying for the two Maratabas it is supported by reason as well as religious texts.

The logical proof is that: Those who are in vigil are in fact supporters of Islam and they are the sentries of the Muslims and reason and logic state that such persons deserve our best wishes and prayers. Textual proof: The supplication of our Imam and Master, His Eminence, the chief the worshippers (as) in Sahifa Sajjadiya – the twenty-seventh supplication – is sufficient for this matter.

And that which confirms that Hazrat Hujjat is in Marabata on the path of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime are some traditional reports.

Some of them are as follows: In a Tawqee to Shaykh Abu Abdillah Muhammad bin Muhammad an-Noman, alias Shaykh Mufeed he says: “From the slave of Allah who is in Marabata on His path, to the one inspired and guided to truth…”[^1] In the book of Ghaibat Shaykh Nomani through his own chain of narrators from His Eminence, Abu Ja’far Muhammad bin Ali Baqir (as) from his father His Eminence, Ali bin al-Husain (as) it is mentioned that he said: Ibne Abbas sent a person to His Eminence to ask him the interpretation of the verse: يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اصْبِرُوا وَصَابِرُوا وَرَابِطُوا وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ “O you who believe!
