قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) ابْتِدَاءً مِنْهُ يَا مُعَاوِيَةُ أَ مَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( صلوات الله عليه )  فَشَكَا الْإِبْطَاءَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْجَوَابِ فِي دُعَائِهِ فَقَالَ لَهُ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ عَنِ الدُّعَاءِ السَّرِيعِ الْإِجَابَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ الرَّجُلُ مَا هُوَ قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْأَعْظَمِ الْأَجَلِّ الْأَكْرَمِ الْمَخْزُونِ الْمَكْنُونِ النُّورِ الْحَقِّ الْبُرْهَانِ الْمُبِينِ الَّذِي هُوَ نُورٌ مَعَ نُورٍ وَ نُورٌ مِنْ نُورٍ وَ نُورٌ فِي نُورٍ وَ نُورٌ عَلَى نُورٍ وَ نُورٌ فَوْقَ كُلِّ نُورٍ وَ نُورٌ يُضِي‏ءُ بِهِ كُلُّ ظُلْمَةٍ وَ يُكْسَرُ بِهِ كُلُّ شِدَّةٍ وَ كُلُّ شَيْطَانٍ مَرِيدٍ وَ كُلُّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ لَا تَقِرُّ بِهِ أَرْضٌ وَ لَا تَقُومُ بِهِ سَمَاءٌ وَ يَأْمَنُ بِهِ كُلُّ خَائِفٍ وَ يَبْطُلُ بِهِ سِحْرُ كُلِّ سَاحِرٍ وَ بَغْيُ كُلِّ بَاغٍ وَ حَسَدُ كُلِّ حَاسِدٍ وَ يَتَصَدَّعُ لِعَظَمَتِهِ الْبَرُّ وَ الْبَحْرُ وَ يَسْتَقِلُّ بِهِ الْفُلْكُ حِينَ يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِ الْمَلَكُ فَلَا يَكُونُ لِلْمَوْجِ عَلَيْهِ سَبِيلٌ وَ هُوَ اسْمُكَ الْأَعْظَمُ الْأَعْظَمُ الْأَجَلُّ الْأَجَلُّ النُّورُ الْأَكْبَرُ الَّذِي سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ وَ اسْتَوَيْتَ بِهِ عَلَى عَرْشِكَ وَ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ أَسْأَلُكَ بِكَ وَ بِهِمْ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ بِي كَذَا وَ كَذَا .


Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, form Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘Abu Abdullahh<sup>asws</sup> said to me, initiating from himself<sup>asws</sup>: ‘O Muawiya! Do you not know that a man came over to Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, so he complained of the slowness upon him regarding the Answer of his supplication. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Where are you from the supplication of the quick response?’ So the man said to him, ‘What is it?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> by Your<sup>azwj</sup> Magnificent Name, the most Magnificent, and most Majestic, the most Benevolent, the most Treasured, the Light, the Truth, the Manifest Proof which it is a Light with a Light, and a light from a Light, and a Light in a Light, and a Light upon a Light, and a Light above every Light, and a Light by which every darkness is illuminated, and by which everything is broken down, and every Expelled Satan<sup>la</sup>, and every tenacious tyrant. Neither can the earth bear it nor can the sky stand by it; and every fearful ones is secured by it; and there is invalidated by it the magic of every magician, and the rebellion of every rebel, and the envy of every envying one; and the land and the sea  crack up due to its Magnificence, and the ships sail by it when the Angels speak with it, so there does not happen to be a way for the waves upon it, and it is Your<sup>azwj</sup> most Magnificent Name and the most Majestic, the Great Light which You<sup>azwj</sup> Named Yourself<sup>azwj</sup> with and Established Yourself<sup>azwj</sup> upon the Throne with it. And I divert to You<sup>azwj</sup> by Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the People<sup>asws</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Household. I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> by You<sup>azwj</sup> and by them<sup>asws</sup> that You<sup>azwj</sup> Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and that You<sup>azwj</sup> (please) Resolve such and such with me’’.
