Namaz e Haajat

The author of Mafaateehul Jenaan says: In some unauthentic books which are known among the people, it is narrated that at this place one should perform that act which Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) has taught to some of his companion. But this act does not have any preference at this place. It is narrated from Imam Jafar Sadiq (a.s.) that he told one of his companions:

اِلٰھِیْ اِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَصَیْتُكَ فَاِنِّیْ قَدْ اَطَعْتُكَ فِیْ اَحَبِّ الْاَشْیَآءِ اِلَیْكَ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ لَكَ وَلَدًا وَّ لَمْ اَدْعُ لَكَ شَرِیْكًا وَ قَدْ عَصَیْتُكَ فِیْ اَشْیَآءَ كَثِیْرَۃٍ عَلٰی غَیْرِ وَجْهِ الْمُكَابَرَۃِ لَكَ وَ لَا الْاِسْتِكْبَارِ عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ لَا الْحُجُوْدِ لِرُبُوْبِیَّتِكَ وَ لَا الْخُرُوْجِ عَنِ الْعُبُوْدِیَّۃِ لَكَ وَ لٰكِِنِ اتَّبَعْتُ ھَوَایَ وَ اَزَلَّنِیَ الشَّیْطَانُ بَعْدَ الْحُجَّۃِ وَ الْبَیَانِ فَاِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِیْ فَبِذُنُوْبِیْ غَیْرَ ظَالِمٍ اَنْتَ لِیْ وَ اِنْ تَعْفُ عَنِّیْ وَ تَرْحَمْنِیْ فَبِجُوْدِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ یَا كَرِیْمُ۔

غَدَوْتُ بِحَوْلِ اللهِ وَ قُوَّتِهٖ غَدَوْتُ بِغَیْرِ حَوْلِ مِنِّیْ وَ لَا قُوَّۃٍ وَّ لٰكِنْ بِحَوْلِ اللهِ وَ قُوَّتِهٖ یَا رَبِّ اَسْئَلُكَ بَرَكَۃَ ھٰذَا الْبَیْتِ وَ بَرَكَۃَ اَھْلِهٖ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ اَنْ تَرْزُقَنِیْ رِزْقًا حَلَالًا طَیِّبًا تَسُوْقُهٗ اِلَیَّ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ اَنَا خَائِضٌ فِیْ عَافِیَتِكَ۔

However, the Shaykh Shaheed (r.a.) and Mohammad Mashhadi (r.a.) has related this Aamal after the Aamal of the fourth pillar for the courtyard of the Masjid. In 2 rakats recite surah Hamd and surah Tawheed and in the next 2 rakats recite surah Hamd and surah Qadr and after the Salaam, the Tasbeeh of Fatemah Zahra (s.a.) is mentioned.

اِلٰھِیْ اِنْ كُنْتُ قَدْ عَصَیْتُكَ فَاِنِّیْ قَدْ اَطَعْتُكَ فِیْ اَحَبِّ الْاَشْیَآءِ اِلَیْكَ لَمْ اَتَّخِذْ لَكَ وَلَدًا وَّ لَمْ اَدْعُ لَكَ شَرِیْكًا وَ قَدْ عَصَیْتُكَ فِیْ اَشْیَآءَ كَثِیْرَۃٍ عَلٰی غَیْرِ وَجْهِ الْمُكَابَرَۃِ لَكَ وَ لَا الْاِسْتِكْبَارِ عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ لَا الْحُجُوْدِ لِرُبُوْبِیَّتِكَ وَ لَا الْخُرُوْجِ عَنِ الْعُبُوْدِیَّۃِ لَكَ وَ لٰكِِنِ اتَّبَعْتُ ھَوَایَ وَ اَزَلَّنِیَ الشَّیْطَانُ بَعْدَ الْحُجَّۃِ وَ الْبَیَانِ فَاِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِیْ فَبِذُنُوْبِیْ غَیْرَ ظَالِمٍ اَنْتَ لِیْ وَ اِنْ تَعْفُ عَنِّیْ وَ تَرْحَمْنِیْ فَبِجُوْدِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ یَا كَرِیْمُ۔

یا كریم

یا من یقدر علی حوائج السائلین

and then recited YAA SAYYEDEE 70 times as mentioned in the Aamals of the seventh pillar. When he raised his head from the Sajdah, I saw that he was Imam Zainul Aabedeen (a.s.). I kissed his blessed hand and said: Why have you come here?

For the thing that you saw, that is to pray in the Kufa Masjid.

The narration we have quoted for the Seventh Ziarat says that he took Abu Hamza Sumali for the Ziarat of Ameerul Momineen (a.s.).
