ثُمَّ كَبِّرِ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هَلِّلْ مِائَةَ...
ثُمَّ كَبِّرِ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ هَلِّلْ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ احْمَدْ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ سَبِّحْ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَ تَقُولُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ أَنْجَزَ وَعْدَهُ وَ نَصَرَ عَبْدَهُ وَ غَلَبَ الْأَحْزَابَ وَحْدَهُ فَلَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَحْدَهُ وَحْدَهُ Then exclaim the Greatness of Allah -azwj one hundred times, and Extol His -azwj Holiness one hundred times, and Praise Him -azwj one hundred times, and Glorify Him -azwj one hundred times, and you should be saying, ‘There is no god except for Allah -azwj , Alone, being True to His -azwj Promise, and Helping His -azwj servants, and Overcomes all the ones allied (against Him -azwj ).
For Him -azwj is the Kingdom, and for Him -azwj is the Praise Alone, Alone’. اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِي الْمَوْتِ وَ فِي مَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ظُلْمَةِ الْقَبْرِ وَ وَحْشَتِهِ اللَّهُمَّ أَظِلَّنِي فِي ظِلِّ عَرْشِكَ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّكَ O Allah -azwj ! Bless me during the death, and in what is after the death. O Allah -azwj ! I seek Refuge with You -azwj from the darkness of the grave, and its loneliness. O Allah -azwj !
Shade me in the Shade of Your -azwj Throne on the Day in which there would be no shade except for Your -azwj Shade’.
وَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ أَنْ تَسْتَوْدِعَ رَبَّكَ دِينَكَ وَ نَفْسَكَ وَ أَهْلَكَ ثُمَّ تَقُولُ أَسْتَوْدِعُ اللَّهَ الرَّحْمَنَ الرَّحِيمَ الَّذِي لَا يَضِيعُ وَدَائِعُهُ نَفْسِي وَ دِينِي وَ أَهْلِي اللَّهُمَّ اسْتَعْمِلْنِي عَلَى كِتَابِكَ وَ سُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكَ وَ تَوَفَّنِي عَلَى مِلَّتِهِ وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنَ الْفِتْنَةِ And frequently entrust to your Lord -azwj for your Religion, and yourself, and your family.
Then you should be saying, ‘I entrust to Allah -azwj , the Beneficent, the Merciful Who does not Waste His -azwj Entrustments, myself and my Religion, and my family. O Allah -azwj ! Utilise me upon Your -azwj Book, and Sunnah of Your -azwj Prophet –saww , and Cause me to die upon his –saww Religion, and Shelter me from the strife’.
ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ ثَلَاثاً ثُمَّ تُعِيدُهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ ثُمَّ تُكَبِّرُ وَاحِدَةً ثُمَّ تُعِيدُهَا فَإِنْ لَمْ تَسْتَطِعْ هَذَا فَبَعْضَهُ Then exclaim Takbeer three times, then repeat it twice, then exclaim Takbeer once, then repeat it. So, if you are not able upon this, then (do) part of it. وَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) كَانَ يَقِفُ عَلَى الصَّفَا بِقَدْرِ مَا يُقْرَأُ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ مُتَرَتِّلًا .
