Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim, Exalted Aphorisms And Pearls Of Speech Supplication And The Supplicant Supplication and the Supplicant الدُّعاءُ والداعي Supplication for a beggar is one of the two charities [that one can give]. 1ـ الدُّعاءُ لِلسّائِلِ أحَدُ الصَّدَقَتَيْنِ. The most piercing arrow is the supplication of the oppressed. 2ـ أنْفَذُ السِّهامِ دَعْوَةُ المَظْلُومِ. The most incapable of all people is the one who is unable to supplicate.

3ـ أعْجَزُ النَّاسِ مَنْ عَجَزَ عَنِ الدُّعاءِ. The kindness of Allah does not annul His wisdom; it is for this reason that not all supplications are answered. 4ـ إنَّ كَرَمَ اللّهِ سُبْحانَهُ لا يَنْقُضُ حِكْمَتَهُ، فَلِذلِكَ لا يَقَعُ الإجابَةُ في كُلِّ دَعْوَة. Verily Allah, the Glorified, has wraths and chastisements, so if [any of] it descends upon you, repel it with supplication; for indeed nothing can repel tribulation except supplication.

5ـ إنَّ لِلّهِ سُبْحانَهُ سَطَوات ونَقِمات، فَإذا نَزَلَتْ بِكُمْ فَادْفَعُوها بِالدُّعاءِ، فَإنَّهُ لايَدْفَعُ البَلاءَ إلاّ الدُّعاءُ. Supplication is the weapon of the close friends [of Allah]. 6ـ اَلدُّعاءُ سِلاحُ الأولياءِ. If any one of you wishes that he should never ask Allah, the Glorified, for anything but that He grants it to him, then he should lose hope in people and should not have hope in anyone other than Allah, the Glorified.

7ـ إذا أرادَ أحَدُكُمْ أنْ لا يَسْألَ اللّهَ سُبْحانَهُ شَيْئاً إلاّ أعْطاهُ فَلْيَيئَسْ مِنَ النَّاسِ، وَلايَكُونُ لَهُ رَجاءٌ إلاّ اللّهُ سُبْحانَهُ. When you have any need [that you wish for] from Allah, the Glorified, then start by sending salutations on the Prophet (s) and then ask Allah for your need, for Allah, the Most High, is too generous to fulfil one of the two supplications that are made to Him and refuse the other.

8ـ إذا كانَتْ لَكَ إلَى اللّهِ سُبْحانَهُ حاجَةٌ فَابْدأ بِالصَّلاةِ عَلَى النَّبيِّ صلَّى اللّه عليه وآله وسلَّم، ثُمَّ اسْألِ اللّهَ حاجَتَكَ، فإنَّ اللّهَ تعالى أكْرَمُ مِنْ أنْ يُسْألَ حاجَتَينِ فيَقْضِيَ إحديهُما وَيَمْنَعَ الأُخرى. Through supplication, tribulations are repelled. 9ـ بِالدُّعاءِ يُسْتَدْفَعُ البَلاءُ. Sometimes you may ask for something but you are not granted it, rather you are given [something] better than it.
