قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ هَذَا الَّذِي قَدْ ظَهَرَ بِوَجْهِي يَزْعُمُ النَّاسُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَمْ يَبْتَلِ بِهِ عَبْداً لَهُ فِيهِ حَاجَةٌ فَقَالَ لِي لَا لَقَدْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنُ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ مُكَنَّعَ الْأَصَابِعِ فَكَانَ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا وَ يَمُدُّ يَدَهُ وَ يَقُولُ يا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ قَالَ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِذَا كَانَ الثُّلُثُ الْأَخِيرُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي أَوَّلِهِ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَ قُمْ إِلَى صَلَاتِكَ الَّتِي تُصَلِّيهَا فَإِذَا كُنْتَ فِي السَّجْدَةِ الْأَخِيرَةِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ فَقُلْ وَ أَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ يَا عَلِيُّ يَا عَظِيمُ يَا رَحْمَانُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا سَامِعَ الدَّعَوَاتِ وَ يَا مُعْطِيَ الْخَيْرَاتِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَعْطِنِي مِنْ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ اصْرِفْ عَنِّي مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ وَ أَذْهِبْ عَنِّي هَذَا الْوَجَعَ وَ سَمِّهِ فَإِنَّهُ قَدْ غَاظَنِي وَ أَحْزَنَنِي وَ أَلِحَّ فِي الدُّعَاءِ قَالَ فَمَا وَصَلْتُ إِلَى الْكُوفَةِ حَتَّى أَذْهَبَ اللَّهُ بِهِ عَنِّي كُلَّهُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Malik Bin Atiyya, from Yunus Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! This (illness) which has appeared in my face, the people are alleging that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic does not Afflict any servant with it for whom He<sup>azwj</sup> has a need for’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘No! It was so that a Momin of the people of the Pharaoh<sup>la</sup> was paralysed of the fingers, so he was saying (gesturing) like this’ – and he<sup>asws</sup> extended his<sup>asws</sup> hand, and he was saying: ‘<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:36#h20"><a href="/books/quran:36#h20">[36:20]</a></a> O people! Follow the Rasools</span>’. He (the narrator) said, ‘Then he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When it is the last third of the night, during its beginning, perform ablution and stand to your <span class="iTxt">Sal</span>ā<span class="iTxt">t</span> which you tend to pray. So when you are in the last Sajdah of the first two Cycles, so say while you are in Sajdah, ‘O Exalted! O Magnificent! O Beneficent! O Merciful! O Hearer of the supplications and O Giver of the goodness! Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and Give me from the goodness of the world and the Hereafter, what You<sup>azwj</sup> are Rightful of it, and Exchange from me from the evil of the world and the Hereafter what You<sup>azwj</sup> are Rightful of it, and Remove from me this pain’ – and specify it – ‘for it has infuriated me and grieved me’, and be insistent in the supplication’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I had not (even) arrive at Al-Kufa until Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Removed it from me, all of it’.
