This supplication is narrated from Imam Sajjad (A.S.), who narrates from his forefathers (peace be upon them), narrates from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), from Almighty Allah; and the section that has been added upon it is by our master, Imam Mahdi (A.S.)
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَصْبَحْتُ اُشْهِدُكَ وَكَفى بِكَ شَهِيداً
Allahumma inni asbahtu ushhiduka wa kafa bika shahida,
O Allah! I have dawned while I hold You witness and You are sufficient for me as a Witness,
وَاُشْهِدُ مَلائِكَتَكَ وَحَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ
wa ushhidu mala'ikataka wa hamalata 'arshika,
and I hold as witnesses for me all the angels and the bearers of Your Throne
وَسُكَّانَ سَبْعِ سَماواتِكَ وَأَرَضيكَ
wa sukkana sab'i samawatika wa aradika,
and the dwellers of the Seven Heavens and Your Earths
وَأَنْبِياءَكَ وَرُسُلَكَ
wa ambiya'aka wa rusulaka,
and Your Prophets and Your Messengers
وَوَرَثَةَ أَنْبِياءِكَ وَرُسُلِكَ
wa warathata ambiya'ika wa rusulika,
and the Successors of Your Prophets and Messengers
وَالصَّالِحينَ مِنْ عِبادِكَ وَجَميعَ خَلْقِكَ
was-salihina min 'ibadika wa jami'a khalqika,
and the noblemen from Your servants and all the creation.
فَاشْهَدْ لي وَكَفى بِكَ شَهيداً
fash-had li wa kafa bika shahida,
Thus bear witness for me and suffice me as a Witness
أَنّي أَشْهَدُ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ
anni ash-hadu annaka antal-lahu la ilaha illa anta,
that I bear witness that verily You are Allah, there is no God except You,
الْمَعْبُودُ وَحْدَكَ لا شَريكَ لَكَ
al-ma'budu wahdaka la sharika lak,
You alone are worshipped, and You don’t have a partner,
وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّداً صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ
wa anna Muhammadan salla-llahu 'alayhi wa alih,
and that Mohammad (peace be upon him and his progeny)
عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ
'abduka wa rasuluk,
is Your Servant and Messenger,
وَأَنَّ كُلَّ مَعْبُودٍ مِمَّا دُونَ عَرْشِكَ إِلى قَرارِ أَرْضِكَ السَّابِعَةِ
wa anna kulla ma'budin mimma duna 'arshika ila qarari ardikas-sabi'ati
and that all those who are worshipped between Your Throne and the surface of Your seven Earths,
السُّفْلى باطِلٌ مُضْمَحِلٌّ ما خَلا وَجْهَكَ الْكَريمَ
as-sufla batilun mudmahillun ma khala wajhakal-karim,
are all invalid and void except for Your Self.
فَإِنَّهُ أَعَزُّ وَأَكْرَمُ وَأَجَلُّ وَأَعْظَمُ
fa'innahu a'azzu wa akramu wa ajallu wa a'zam,
Indeed He is much glorious, mightier, and greater
مِنْ أَنْ يَصِفَ الْواصِفُونَ كُنْهَ جَلالِهِ
min an yasifal-wasifuna kunha jalalih,
than what the describers describe as His True Glory
أَوْ تَهْتَدِيَ الْقُلُوبُ إِلى كُنْهِ عَظَمَتِهِ
aw tahtadiyal-qulubu ila kunhi 'azamatih,

وَعَدا وَصْفَ الْواصِفينَ مَآثِرُ حَمْدِهِ
wa 'ada wasfal-wasifina ma'athiru hamdih,
and His true appraisal has surpassed the description of the describers,
وَجَلَّ عَنْ مَقالَةِ النَّاطِقينَ تَعْظيمُ شَأْنِهِ
wa jalla 'an maqolatin-natiqina ta'zimu sha'nih,
and the Honour of His Magnificence is higher than the speech of the speakers,
صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
salli 'ala Muhammadin wa ali Muhammad,
bless Mohammad and his holy progeny,
وَافْعَلْ بِنا ما أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ

hatever He wishes takes place, there is no Power except Allah,
هُوَ الْأَوَّلُ وَالْآخِرُ وَالظَّاهِرُ وَالْباطِنُ
huwal-awwalu wal-akhiru waz-zahiru wal-batin,
He is the First and the Apparent and the Hidden,
لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ
lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamd,
the Kingdom belongs to Him alone and all Praises are due to Him,
يُحْيي وَيُميتُ وَيُميتُ وَيُحْيي
yuhyi wa yumitu wa yumitu wa yuhyi,
He gives life and death, and gives death and life,
وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لايَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ
wa huwa hayyun la yamutu biyadihil-khayr,
He is the Living who never dies, in His hands is all Good,
وَهُوَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ
wa huwa 'ala kulli shay'in qadir.

al-halimil-karimil-'aliyyil-'azim,

the Beneficent, the Merciful, the Ruler, the Sanctified, the Truth, the Apparent,
عَدَدَ خَلْقِهِ وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِهِ

this praise is as many as His creations and as much as the weight of His Throne
وَمِلْأَ سَماواتِهِ وَأَرَضيهِ

wal-ambiya'il-mursalin.
You are worshipped in the sky and You are the Lord of those who live on Earth,
أَنْتَ إِلهُ مَنْ فِي السَّماءِ وَ إِلهُ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ

O’ Allah, I beseech You in Your Noble Face,
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَريمِ
Allahumma inni as'aluka bi-wajhikal-karim,

wa bismikal-ladhi yasluhu bihil-awwaluna wal-akhirun,
O’ He who has been always alive before the existence of all living things, O’ He who shall be alive after the extinction of all living things,
يا حَيّاً قَبْلَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ وَيا حَيّاً بَعْدَ كُلِّ حَيٍّ
ya hayyan qabla kulli hayy, wa ya hayyan ba'da kulli hayy,
O’ He who revives the dead ones and causes the living ones to die!
وَيا حَيّاً حينَ لا حَيَّ وَيا مُحْيِيَ الْمَوْتى
wa ya hayyan hina la hayy, wa ya muhyiyal-mawta,
O’ Ever-Living! There is no God save You, O’ Ever-Living, O’ Self-Subsistent.
وَيا حَيُّ لا إِلهَ إِلّا أَنْتَ يا حَيُّ يا قَيُّومُ
wa ya hayyu la ilaha illa anta ya Hayyu ya Qayyum.
I beseech You to bless Mohammad and his household,
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

wa min haythu la ahtasib,
an extensive, Halal and healthy sustenance,
رِزْقاً واسِعاً حَلالاً طَيِّباً

wa an tufarrija 'anni kulla ghammin wa hamm,
and to grant me all that I hope for and desire,
وَأَنْ تُعْطِيَني ما أَرْجُوهُ وَآمُلُهُ
wa an tu'tiyani ma arjuhu wa amiluh,
indeed You have Power over all things.
إِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَديرٌ
innaka 'ala kulli shay'in qadir.
Signifance / Reference
Shaykh Nomani (r.a.) has narrated through his chains of narrators from Abdullah bin Sinan that he said: My father and I went to Abu Abdullah as-Sadiq (a.s.). He said: “What will you do if you at a time that you do not find an Imam of guidance nor any sign and then no one will be saved from that confusion except one, who will pray Allah with the prayer of the burner.
My father said: “By Allah, this is a great calamity. May I die for you! What will we do then?” He said: “If that occurs - and you will not attain it - then keep to what you have, until the matter becomes clear.1 That is during that period you must not waver in your faith and you must not be confused in your act and you must remain attached to what you have received from the past Imams regarding the principles and branches of religion; and you must not forgo acting on their commands and you must not apostatize and you must not believe what the claimants of Imamate and Qaaemiyat say till the matter of their Imamate becomes clear to you from the display of clear miracles and the not asking of Sinan, father of Abdullah about the supplication of Hareeq that what Dua it is, it is clear that it was well known among the companions of the Imam. And what is concluded is that it is the popular Dua, which some scholars have mentioned among the devotions to be recited in the morning and at night. Shaykh Tabarsi, the author of Majmaul Bayaan has in the book of Iddatus Safar,2 said that among the supplications having great importance and which have gathered in themselves all the perfections and whose recitation is emphasized during the morning and evening is the supplication famous as Dua Hareeq; and it is narrated from Imam Zainul Aabedeen (a.s.) and it is as follows:A lengthy supplication at the end of which he said that an epistle arrived from Imam Zamana (a.s.) to Muhammad bin Sult Qummi (r.a.) that the following addition should be made to this supplication: Allaahumma rabban nooril az’eem…and so on and that is also well known.
In other words, since we were not satisfied that it implies that same supplication and since it was also very lengthy and it is present in many books of supplication like Misbaah1 of Shaykh, Kafami,2 Maqbas and Behaarul Anwaar3, so we have not mentioned it here.
