Ibn Maqatil reported that Abu Al-Hasan Rida (peace be upon him) said: what do you say in your Qunut on Friday prayers? What the people normally say I replied, he said: don’t say what the people normally say rather recite the following
اَللّهُمَ أصْلِحْ عَبدَكَ وَ خَليفَتَكَ بِما أَصْلَحْتَ بِهِ أنبياءَكَ و رُسُلَكَ!
O Allah! Reform conditions of Your servant and caliph with those means by which You have reformed conditions of Your messengers and prophets.
وَ حُفَّهُ بِمَلائِكَتِكَ وَ أَيَّدْهُ بِروُحِ القُدُسِ مِنْ عِنْدِكَ،
Surround him with the angels and support him with the Holy Spirit.
وَ اسْلُكْهُ مِن بَيْنِ يَدَيْهِ و مِنْ خَلْفِهِ رَصَداً،يَحْفظُونَهُ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ!
Appoint protectors from the front and behind him, (those) who would guard him from all troubles and calamities.
وَ أبْدِلَهُ مِنْ بَعْدِ خَوْفِهِ أمْنَاً يَعْبُدُكَ لا يُشرِكَ بِكَ شَيئاً،
Convert his fear into security, (as) he worships only You and doesn’t associate anybody with You.
وَ لا تَجْعَلْ لِأحَدِ مِنْ خَلقِكَ عَلي وَليِّكَ سُلطاناً!
Do not make any of Your creatures an authority over Your vicegerent.
وَ أْذَنْ لَه في جِهَادِ عَدُوِّكَ وَ عَدوِّه!
Permit him to fight against Your enemies and his enemies
وَ اجْعَلني مِنْ انصارِهِ،
and include me among his helpers.
إِنَّكَ عَلي كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَديرٌ
Surely You possess power over everything.
