یوشع بن نون کا مکتوب
Through a valid chain of authority, Imam al-Rida(a.s.) is reported to have related the following story:
A man found a sheet of paper with an inscription and brought it to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) who, once he read it, called out at people to gather for a congregational prayer. As everybody came, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) ascended the minbar (i.e. a pulpit in the mosque) and said: This is the scripture of Yusha’, the son of Nun (Prophet Joshua), the successor of Prophet Moses (a.s.). The inscription reads the following: In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. Your Lord is certainly Kind and Merciful. The best of Allah’s servants are the pious, pure, and affectionate; while the most wicked of Allah’s servants are so identified that fingers can point at them. He who wishes to have his deeds measured by the fairest balance and to carry out his duties towards the graces that Almighty Allah has bestowed upon him, must say the following litany every day:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
.
خدا کے نام سے جو بڑا رحم کرنے والا مہربان ہے
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ
All glory be to Allah as it should be for Allah.
اللہ کی تسبیح اسی طرح جس کا سزاوار ہے
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ
All praise be to Allah as it should be for Allah.
اس کی حمد اسی شان سے جو اس کے لائق ہے۔
وَ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِىْ لِلّٰهِ
There is no god save Allah as it should be for Allah.
اس کی وحدانیت کا اقرار اسی طرح ہے جس طرح سزاوار ہے۔
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَاقُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ
There is neither might nor power except with Allah.
اس کے علاوہ کسی کے پاس کوئی طاقت نہیں ہے۔
وَ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ النَّبِىِّ الْاُمِّىِّ
May Allah send blessings upon Muhammad, and his Household, the Meccan Prophet,
اللہ محمدؐ و آل محمدؐ پر رحمت نازل کرے
وَ عَلٰى جَمِيْعِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ وَالنَّبِيِّيْنَ
and upon all the Messengers and Prophets
اور تمام مرسلین اور انبیاء پر رحمت نازل کرے
حَتّٰى يَرْضَى اللّٰهُ۔
until Allah is pleased.
یہاں تک کہ اللہ راضی ہوجائے۔
In the book of al-Balad al-Amin, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) is quoted to have said: He who repeats the following statement ten times every day, will be released from his sins as if he is on the day when his mother gave birth to him, and Almighty Allah will fend off from him seventy categories of tribulation, including lunacy, mycobacterium, leprosy, and paralysis, and Almighty Allah will appoint seventy angels to pray Him to forgive that person:
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
خدا کے نام سے جو بڑا رحم کرنے والا مہربان ہے
لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيْمِ۔
There is neither might nor power except with Allah, the All-high, the All-great.
نہیں کوئی طاقت و قوت مگر وہ جو بلند و بزرگ خدا سے ہے۔
لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ اِلَّا بِاللهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيْمِ۔
Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) is reported to have said: He who repeats the following litany one hundred times every day, will not be afflicted by poverty:
نہیں کوئی طاقت و قوت مگر وہ جو بلند و بزرگ خدا سے ہے۔
Whoever repeats the following statements one hundred times every day, Almighty Allah will prohibit Hellfire to consume his body:
سُبْحَانَ اللهِ
All glory be to Allah,
پاک و پاکیزہ ہے وہ خدا
وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ
all praise be to Allah,
اور حمد اسی کے لیے ہے۔
وَ لَاۤ اِلٰهِ اِلَّا اللهُ
there is no god save Allah,
اس کے علاوہ کوئی خدا نہیں ہے۔
