O my Allah for the sake of this night we are now in, for the sake of he who was born tonight, Thy decisive argument, Thy “promise”, that Thou joined with it as a favour to keep alive its superiority, so Thou fulfilled Thy words truly and justly; no one can change Thy words, nor obscure Thy signs, Thy Light soft, pleasant and caressing, Thy splendour, had come in view bright and brillant, for the “Bright sign”, (so for) invisible and hidden in the obscurity of the darkness, the covering had been taken off, his arrival in this world was the basis of all kindness, the Angels stood witness. Almighty Allah will help him and support him when the promise (the event of the beginning of his reign) come true , the Angels will be among his troops, (he will be ) a fatal blow from Allah that will never miss the aim, a light from Him that will never grow dim , a gentle matured disposition that will never jeopardize the truth, the motive and the reason of the course of events , the honour and estimation of time , the “Ulil-Amr “ (in charge of Allah’s affairs ). Accompany that which comes down in the “Grand Night” the controllers of the Day of Judgement and resurrection , interpretors of the “Revelations”, and those who make known what to do and what not to do.
O Alllah send his blessings on their seal and representative, unseeable to their people , make his days , his return , his time , reach maturity , (let us be with him ), as his helpers , let us be his ataacking comrades to hunt up and eliminate the beasts (in human shape ) , register our names as his supporters and his sincere friends , bring us to life again in his reign , gentle and loving , happy and satisfied in his company, and steadfast in his cause , free from sins , O the Most Merciful !! (All) praise is for Allah , the Lord of the Worlds ! His blessings be on our Chief , Mohammad , the Last Prophet and Messenger , and on his dependable “Ahlul Bayt” , his truth-revealing children, and condemn all the oppressors , and keep back from evil the unleash at us , O the Best Ruler ! -
Imam Muhammad Al Baaqir and Imaam Jaa’far As Saadiq (A.S.) used to pray a 4 Rak-a’t Namaz

O my Allah! I am, before Thee, a needy , afraid of thy displeasure, but hopeful of receiving Thy protection.
O my Allah do not substitute my name (from the list of the faithfuls), nor let my body (material aspects ) undergo a change, nor put me to severe test and trial, nor subject me to the enemy’s ridicule. I take refuge with Thy forgiveness to avoid Thy retribution, I take refuge with Thy mercy to avoid Thy punishment, I take refuge with Thy indulgence to avoid Thy displeasure, I take refuge with Thee from Thee, Glorious and sublime is Thy praise as Thou praises Thyself , but beyond that which the best orators say.
- The Holy Prophet (S.A.) used to recite the following in Sajdah tonight after the Tahajjud prayers:
( This dua’a can also be recited tonight after praying a 10 Rak-a’t Namaaz in 5 sets of 2 Rak-a’t each; in each Rak-a’t recite Soorah Al Faatih’ah once, and Soorah Al Ikhlaas 10 times) :
(1) SAJADA LAKA SAWAADEE WA KHAYAALEE WA AAMANA BIKA FUW-AADEE HAAD’IHI YADAAYA WA MAA JANAYTUHU A’LAA NAFSEE YAA A’Z’EEM TURJAA LIKULLI A’Z’EEMIN IGHFIR LIYAL A’Z’EEMA FA-INNAHU LAA YAGHFIRUD’ D’ANBAL A’Z’EEMA ILLAR RABBUL A’Z’EEM
I prostrate my self in adoration before Thee, my thoughts and feelings in close attention, putting faith in Thee from the bottom of my heart. These are my two hands that which they pluck and gather for me, O the Great, (to do) every noble deed reliance is upon Thee, forgive my serious offences because, beyond a shadow of doubt, no one can forgive the grave trangression except the Great Lord.
(2) A-O’OD’U BINOORI WAJHIKALLAD’EE AZ”AAA-AT LAHUS SAMAAWAATU WAS ARZ”OONA WAN-KASHAFAT LAHUZ’ Z’ULUMAATU WA S’ALAH’A A’LAYHI AMRUL AWWALEENA WAL AAKHIREEN MIN FUJAA-ATI NAQIMATIKA WA MIN TAH’WEELI A’AFIYATIKA WA MIN ZAWAALI NIA’-MATIKA ALLAAHUMMAR-ZUQNEE QALBAN TAQIYYAN NAQIYYAN WA MINASH SHIRKI BAREE-AN LAA KAAFIRAN WA LAA SHAQIYYAA.
I adhere close to the Light of Thy Being that had illuminated the heavens and the earths, removed and exposed the darkness, put in order the “operation”, from the beginning to the end, at all times free from violent and unexpected changes to the worse, absence of recovery and adjustment and discontinuation of the supply of natural resources. O Allah give me a knowing fearing, clean conscience, free from hypocrisy, which is neither renegade nor villainous.
Put each side of the face on the earth and say ] :
A’FFARTU WAJHEE FIT TURAABI WA H’UQQA LEE AN ASJUDA LAKA
I put my face on the earth and roll in the dust because it is imposed as a duty that I prostrate myself in adoration before Thee.
