بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
اَلْحَمْدُ
ِللّٰهِ رَبِّ اْلعَالَمِينَ وَ الصَّلاَةُ وَ السَّلاَمُ عَلٰى
سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
وَ عَلٰى اٰلِهِ وَ صَحْبِهِ اَجْمَعِينَ
This is the prayer suggested by Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (r.a.)
to ask ALLAH (SWT) for protection against plague.
Imam Ali ibn Abi Talib (r.a.) named this prayer as “as-Sakina”.
According to his suggestion these are the things that
need to be considered:
1- To get rid of the disease (plague) before praying one
should make charity on behave of Rasulullah (saw)’s descendants.
2- For those who are rich could
make an animal sacrifice to offer to Allah for protection againts the disease
(plague).
3- It should be enough to read this pray once a day. But it is
best (recomended) to do after fajr prayer or after the sunrise or after isha
prayer. Read everyday until we get rid of the disease (plague).
The prayer is read as follows :
1- Make the niyyah (intention) before prayer.
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
2- Make istighfar (7 times) أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّٰهَ
3- Read
salawat for Prophet Muhammad (s.a.w.) (7 times) :
Read
it 6 times this way :
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلٰى اۤلِ
سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
And the
seventh time read it this way :
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلٰى اۤلِ
سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ
كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلٰى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَعَلٰى اۤلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ
إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ
4- Say Takbeer (10 times) اَللّٰهُ أكْبَرْ
5- Read Basmalah
and the 122th verse of Surah Al-An’am (19
times)
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ
فَرْدٌ حَىٌّ قَيُّومٌ حَكَمٌ عَدْلٌ قُدُّوسٌ
اَوَمَنْ كَانَ مَيْتاً فَاَحْيَيْنَاهُ
6- At the end of the
prayer, the following passage is read 3 times :
أُلْطُفْ بِناَ فِيماَ نَزَلَ ياَ مَنْ لَطِيفُ لَمْ يَزَلْ
عَنْ قَهْرِكَ يَوْمَ الْخلَلِ أَنْتَ الْقَوِيُّ نَجِّناَ
نَارَ الْوَبَٓاءِ الْحَاطِمَةَ ل۪ى خَمْسَةٌ اُطْف۪ى بِهَا
ألْمُصْطَفٰى وَ الْمُرْتَضٰى وَابْنَاهُمَا وَ الْفَاطِمَةُ
آمِين يَا مُعِينُ (جَلَّ جَلاَلُهُ)
