Within the recommended rites on Fridays, Shaykh al-Tusi, in his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has mentioned the following from Imam Hasan Askari (peace be upon him):
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ أَبِي ﭐلأَئِمَّةِ وَخَلِيلِ ﭐلنُّبُوَّةِ
Peace be upon the father of the Imams, the friend of the Prophethood,
وَﭐلْمَخْصُوصِ بِٱلأُخُوَّةِ
and the one exclusively granted the fraternity (of the Holy Prophet).
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ يَعْسُوبِ ﭐلإِيـمَانِ
Peace be upon the chief of true faith,
وَميزَانِ ﭐلأَعْمَالِ
the Scale of the deeds
وَسَيْفِ ذِي ﭐلْجَلاَلِ
and the sword of the Lord of Majesty.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ صَالِحِ ﭐلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Peace be upon the most righteous of the believers,
وَوَارِثِ عِلْمِ ﭐلنَّبِيِّينَ
the inheritor of the knowledge of the Prophets,
ﭐلْحَاكِمِ فِي يَوْمِ ﭐلدِّينِ
and the judge on the Judgment Day.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ شَجَرَةِ ﭐلتَّقْوَىٰ
Peace be upon the Tree of Piety.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ حُجَّةِ ﭐللَّهِ ﭐلْبَالِغَةِ
Peace be upon Allah’s conclusive argument,
وَنِعْمَتِهِ ﭐلسَّابِغَةِ
His flowing boon,
وَنِقْمَتِهِ ﭐلدَّامِغَةِ
and His forceful punishment.
اَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَىٰ ﭐلصِّرَاطِ ﭐلوَاضِحِ
Peace be upon the clear-cut path,
وَﭐلنَّجْمِ ﭐللاَّئِحِ
the patent star,
وَﭐلإِمَامِ ﭐلنَّاصِحِ
and the advising leader.
وَرَحْمَةُ ﭐللَّهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ
May Allah’s mercy and blessings be upon him.
My father (peace be upon him) then added the following:
أَنْتَ وَسيلَتِي إِلَىٰ ﭐللَّهِ وَذَريعَتِي
You are verily my means and my course to Allah.
وَلِي حَقُّ مُوَالاَتِي وَتَأْمِيلِي
And I enjoy the right of my loyalty to you and my hoping for you.
فَكُنْ لِي شَفيعِي إِلَىٰ ﭐللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ
So, (please) be my intercessor before Allah—the Almighty and All-majestic—
فِي ﭐلْوُقُوفِ عَلَىٰ قَضَاءِ حَاجَتِي
as regards the settlement of my request,
وَهِيَ فَكَاكُ رَقَبَتِي مِنَ ﭐلنَّارِ
which is the release of my neck from Hellfire.
وَﭐصْرِفْنِي فِي مَوْقِفِي هٰذَا بِٱلنُّجْحِ
And (please) seal my current situation with success
وَبِمَا سَأَلْتُهُ كُلَّهِ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ
and with response to all that which I have asked for, out of His mercy and power.
اَللَّهُمَّ ﭐرْزُقْنِي عَقْلاً كَامِلاً
O Allah, (please do) grant me a complete intellect,
وَلُبَّا رَاجِحاً
sharp aptitude,
وَقَلْباً زَكِيّاً
pure heart,
وَعَمَلاً كَثيراً
much deed,
وَأَدَباً بَارِعاً
and fabulous courtesy,
وَﭐجْعَلْ ذٰلِكَ كُلَّهُ لِي
and make all that for my good
وَلاَ تَجْعَلْهُ عَلَيَّ
and do not make it against me,
بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ ﭐلرَّاحِمينَ
[I beseech You] in the name of Your mercy, O most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
