@UALATAR | SHAYKH DR. USAMA AL-ATAR | USAMAALATAR.NET
In addition to adhering to all the health recommendations and guidelines issued by health professionals and governments, as well as the measures indicated by our respected Maraji’ Al-Taqlid, may Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) protect them all, such as social distancing, washing the hands, not touching the face, and other advices, reading the following Du’as and doing the actions below will inshallah help in protecting us from the harms of diseases such as COVID-19:

Try to pay Sadaqah every day as the hadith says, “Cure those who are sick through charity”, and “Surely Allah who there is no god but He, through Sadaqah, will indeed keep illness away,” and counted seventy different kinds of harms (Mustadrak Safīnat al-Biḥār, vol. 6, p. 237). Imam Ali (alaihi assalam) says, “Bring down the sustenance through Sadaqah” (Nahj al-Balāghah, Short Words of Wisdom, No. 134).
There are many ways of doing that, but one way that might be easy to implement at home without having to leave is getting the Al-Ayn Foundation blue boxes to put the Sadaqah in them daily, since his Eminence, Ayatullah Sayed Sistani (may Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala prolong his life) has indicated that the money put in the box is considered as “received” Sadaqah.

Do Istighfar as many times as you can, Try saying it at least 100 times in the morning and 100 at night.
Astaghfirullah rabbi wa atubu ilaih. I seek the forgiveness of Allah and I repent before Him.
أستغفر الله ربي وأتوب إليه
Imam Ali (alaihi assalam) says, “There are two matters that keep the people safe from punishment, one is gone, so hold on to the other. The one that is gone is the Messenger (salla Allahu alaihi wa aalihi wa sallam). The one remaining is Istighfar. Allah, the Exalted, says, “But Allah will not punish them while you are in their midst, nor will Allah punish them while they plead for forgiveness,” (Nahj al-Balāghah, Short Words of Wisdom, No. 85 – the verse is from 8:33).

Listening to Masa’ib of Imam Husain (alaihi assalam), the eulogies at the end of the Majlis, on a daily basis. You can play a video at home and listen to it alone or with your family.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
5
Do a daily Tawassul in al-Sayeda Fatimah al-Zahrah (alaiha assalam) as follows: Ya Sayedati, Ya Mawalati, Ya Fatimatu Agheetheeni.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
6
Praying to Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) to keep the harm away from all Mu’mineen and Mu’minat, as the hadith says, “Nothing turns God’s determination other than Du’a.” Moreover, the hadith says, “When a Mu’min prays for his brother without informing him then Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) will say, ‘My angels, accept his Du’a and grant him the same’.” Start your Du’a with اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ followed by بِسْمِ ٱللّٰهِ ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ and then ask for your need. Imam Ali (alaihi assalam) states in Nahj Al-Balaghah that when you start the Du’a with Salawat and end with Salawat then Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) will answer it, as He (subhanahu wa ta’ala) is too generous to answer the beginning and the end parts of the Du’a but not the middle part of it.

Read Surah al-Ikhlas/al-Tawhid six times as follows: point your index finger to your right and read it once, then point it to your left and read it once again, then point it in front of you and read it again, then point it to the back and read it, then point it up and read it, and, finally, point it down and read it once again, for a total of six times in all six directions. According to Imam Al-Kadhim (alaihi assalam), This will inshallah keep all harm away from you.

According to Sheikh Abbas Al-Qummi in Mafatih Al-Jinan, recite the following 7 times after Fajr prayers to keep harm and illnesses away:
بِسْمِ الله الرَّحْمن الرَّحيم لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیمِ
In the Name of Allah the All-compassionate, the All-merciful; there is neither might nor power save with Allah, the All-high and All-great.
One can also recite it three times several occasions during the day, as well.

[Sura Yaseen:58] “Peace,” a word from a Merciful Lord سَلَامٌ قَوْلًا مِنْ رَبٍّ رَحِيمٍ
In addition, in the book Ṭib al-A’immah by Sayed Abdullah Shubbar (p. 376) one can also recite it eight times to keep harm away.

Recite the following seven verses after Fajr prayers:
قُلْ لَنْ يُصِيبَنَا إِلَّا مَا كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَنَا هُوَ مَوْلَانَا ۚ وَعَلَى اللَّهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
[Sura Tawbah:51] Say, “Never will we be struck except by what Allah has decreed for us; He is our protector.” And upon Allah let the believers rely.
وَإِن يَمْسَسْكَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ فَلَا كَاشِفَ لَهُ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ وَإِن يُرِدْكَ بِخَيْرٍ فَلَا رَادَّ لِفَضْلِهِ ۚ يُصِيبُ بِهِ مَن يَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ
[Sura Yunus:107] And if Allah should touch you with adversity, there is no remover of it except Him; and if He intends for you good, then there is no repeller of His bounty. He causes it to reach whom He wills of His servants. And He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
وَمَا مِن دَابَّةٍ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى اللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِي كِتَابٍ مُّبِينٍ
[Sura Hud:6] And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register.
وَكَأَيِّن مِّن دَابَّةٍ لَّا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا اللَّهُ يَرْزُقُهَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ ۚ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
[Sura Ankabut:60] And how many a creature carries not its [own] provision. Allah provides for it and for you. And He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
مَّا يَفْتَحِ اللَّهُ لِلنَّاسِ مِن رَّحْمَةٍ فَلَا مُمْسِكَ لَهَا ۖ وَمَا يُمْسِكْ فَلَا مُرْسِلَ لَهُ مِن بَعْدِهِ ۚ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ
[Sura Fatir:2] Whatever Allah grants to people of mercy – none can withhold it; and whatever He withholds – none can release it thereafter. And He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.
وَلَئِن سَأَلْتَهُم مَّنْ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ لَيَقُولُنَّ اللَّهُ ۚ قُلْ أَفَرَأَيْتُم مَّا تَدْعُونَ مِن دُونِ اللَّهِ إِنْ أَرَادَنِيَ اللَّهُ بِضُرٍّ هَلْ هُنَّ كَاشِفَاتُ ضُرِّهِ أَوْ أَرَادَنِي بِرَحْمَةٍ هَلْ هُنَّ مُمْسِكَاتُ رَحْمَتِهِ ۚ قُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ ۖ عَلَيْهِ يَتَوَكَّلُ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَ
[Sura az-Zumar:38] And if you asked them, “Who created the heavens and the earth?” they would surely say, “ Allah .” Say, “Then have you considered what you invoke besides Allah ? If Allah intended me harm, are they removers of His harm; or if He intended me mercy, are they withholders of His mercy?” Say, “Sufficient for me is Allah ; upon Him [alone] rely the [wise] reliers.”
فَإِن تَوَلَّوْا فَقُلْ حَسْبِيَ اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ۖ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ ۖ وَهُوَ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ
[Sura Tawbah:129] But if they turn away, [O Muhammad], say, “Sufficient for me is Allah ; there is no deity except Him. On Him I have relied, and He is the Lord of the Great Throne.”

The Invocation of Al-Ridha’ for Every Illness and Fear
In the book Ṭib Al-A’immah by Sayed Abdullah Shubbar, it is narrated from Imam Al-Ridha (alaihi assalam) that at the time of disease say,
Muhammad b. Kathir at-Dimashqi narrated from al-Hasan b. ‘Ali b. Yaqtin from Al-Ridha’, peace be upon him, that he [al-Hasan] said: I took this invocation from Al-Ridha’. He mentioned that it was a comprehensive preventative and a safeguard and protection from every illness and fear:
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم، لا حَوْلَ وَ لا قُوَّةَ إلاّ بالله العَليِّ العَظيم، وَ لا يَنْفَعُ شَئٌ إِلاّ بِإِذْنِ الله، تَوَكّلتُ عَلى الله، وَ لا يَأْتي بالشِّفاءِ إلاّ بالله، ما شاءَ الله وَ لا يَصْرفُ السوء إلاّ الله، حَسْبيَ الله الذي خَلَقني فَهُوَ يَهدين، وَ الذّي هُوَ يُطْعِمُني وَ يَسْقينِ، وَ إذا مَرِضْتُّ فَهُوَ يَشْفين، وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ القُرآنِ ما هُوَ شِفاءٌ وَرَحْمَةً لِلْمؤْمِنين، اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنا العَافية، لا تُفرّق بيننا و بَيْنَ العافية، يا خالقَ العافية، بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أرْحَمَ الرّاحِمينَ.
‘“In the Name of Allah, the Merciful, the Compassionate, In the Name of Allah, slink you into it, and do not speak to me (23:108). I take refuge in the All-merciful from thee if thou fearest God (19:18) or do not fear God. I take hold, with the Hearing of Allah and His Sight, over your hearing and sight, and with the Might of Allah over your might. No authority have you over so-and-so, son of so-and-so, or over his progeny, or his wealth, or his family. I draw down between you and him the veil of Prophethood, by which they concealed themselves from the assault of the Pharoahs, with Jibra’il on your right, and Mika’il on your left, and Muhammad, blessings be on him and his Ahl al-Bayt before you, with Allah, the Exalted, overshadowing you. Allah guards him, his progeny, his wealth, and his family from the demons (al-shayatin). Whatever Allah has willed, there is no might or power except with Allah, the Most High, the Mighty. O Allah, his clemency will not attain Your patience as long as it does not attain the utmost degree of Your Power. You are the most excellent Master and the most excellent Helper. Allah guard you and your progeny, O so-and-so, by that with which He guarded his friends, blessings of Allah on Mohammad and his Ahl al-Bayt.” ‘Write the verse of the Throne (2:255) up to: And He is the Most High, the Mighty. Then write: “There is no might or power except with Allah, the Most High, the Mighty. There is no refuge from Allah except with him. Sufficient for us is Allah, the most excellent protector.”’
(Ṭib al-A’immah by Sayed Abdullah Shubbar, p. 373)
Ziyarat Ashura
The Du’a or supplication is a method in which one can invoke his Lord and speak to Allah while the Ziyarat or visitation is a method of saluting a representative of Allah such as an infallible Imam peace be upon him with etiquettes. They call humanity to the worship of Allah and to struggle against the inside and outside evils. The Ziyarat is a form of means to speak to Allah in order for the believers to reach to perfection.
The holy Quran states: “O you who believe! Be conscious of God, and seek the means of approach to Him, and strive in His cause, so that you may succeed.” (5:35)
The Source of Ziyarat Ashura and its Authenticity
This great Ziyarat is Narrated through authentic narrators from Imam Mohammad Al-Baqir peace be upon him. In the book of “The Sacred Effusion” by Sheikh Muhammad Khalfan, he quotes: “Ziyarat ‘Ashura` is a sacred tradition (Hadith Qudsi) which is authentic and veracious. Its main references are two fundamental works of authority:
1. Misbah al-Mutahajjid by Shaykh al-Tusi
2. Kamil al-Ziyarat by Ibn Qulawayh
All the traditions that narrate this ziyara are proven by scholars of hadith to be sound and veracious. In order to establish their authenticity, they have discussed all the chains of narration at length and proven the reliability of every narrator.”
Stories of Ziyarat Ashura recitation
1- The son of the Allama Amini, Dr Muhammad Hadi Amini writes: “4 years after the death of my father; Allama Amini, I saw him in the dream, on the eve of a Friday and before the dawn prayer. He was very happy and in a good state. I went forward and greeted him and asked: “Which of your deeds brought you this happiness? Was it the book of Al-Ghadeer or other books? Or the establishment of the Ameer Al-Momeneen library?” He said: My father remained silent for a few moments and then responded: “Only through Ziyarat of Imam Hussein peace be upon him!” Then he said again: “Hold and participate in the Majales of Imam Hussein peace be upon him, since it offers the reward of Ziyarah of Imam Hussein’s shrine peace be upon him.”
Then he said to me: “My son, I advised you a lot in the past and now I repeat and say to you to continue reciting the Ziyarah and never leave it whatever is the cause. Read it and consider it as part of your daily mandate, since this Ziyarah offers benefits and many blessings and it is your pathway towards the salvation in Donya and Akherah.”
2- Sheikh Abdul Jawad Al-Haeri narrates that a man came to the grand scholar, Sheikh Zain Al-Abedeen Al-Mazandarani and complained about his low income. The Sheikh told him that go to the shrine of Imam Hussein peace be upon him and recite Ziyarat Ashura there, your sustenance will come to you. If not, then come back to me and I will give you whatever you need. After a while, I met this man and asked him about his situation. He replied: “When I was busy in reciting Ziyarat Ashura in the shrine of Imam Hussein peace be upon him, a man came to me and gave me an amount of money and since then, the doors of sustenance were open to me.
3- Ayatollah Shaikh Abdul Kareem Yazdi Hayeri narrates, ‘I was residing in Samarra-Iraq to pursue religious studies. Once, the city was struck by a deadly plague. Scores of people were dying every day. During those days a group of religious scholars had gathered at the house of our teacher late Syed Mohammed Fesharki. At that time, Mirza Mohammed Taqi too came in that meeting. The talk turned towards the topic of plague and the devastation it was causing in terms of loss of lives. Marhum Mirza Taqi said, “If I command you to perform an action will all of you obey me?” Everyone replied “Yes, of course, we will obey whatever you say.”
Marhum Mirza then ordered “Tell every Shia of Samarra to recite Ziyarat-e-Ashura for the next ten days and to gift the reward of the Ziyarat to the soul of the mother of Imam-e-Zamana (a.t.f.), Nargis Khatoon (s.a) so that the people remain safe from this disease.” All those who were present in that gathering passed this information to the Shias of Samarra, who all began reciting Ziyarat-e Ashura. From the very next day, there was no news of any Shia death. Only the news of the death of the Ahle Sunnat was being reported.
Gradually the Ahle Sunnat realized this and asked some of their Shia friends as to the reason that why none from the Shias were dying of plague. The Shias said that they were reciting Ziyarat-e- Ashura.
On hearing this, the Ahle Sunnat too began reciting the Ziyarat. Consequently, they too were secured from the perilous effects of the plague.
Benefits of Ziyarat
It is understood from several narrations that whoever recites Ziyarat of Imam Hussein peace be upon him, will gain the following benefits:
1- An acceptable visitation of the Imam.
2- His Salam and Salutation to the Imam will reach him.
3- His efforts are appreciated and rewarded.
4- Allah would fulfil his needs and answers his call and will not return hopelessly from the mercy of Allah Almighty.
In one of the lines of Ziyarat Ashura we read:
اَللَّهُمَّ ٱجْعَلْ مَحْيَايَ مَحْيَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
وَمَمَاتِي مَمَاتَ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O Allah, make me live my lifetime in the same way as Muhammad and Muhammad’s Household lived, and make me die on the same principles on which Muhammad and Mu¦ammad’s Household died. This means that their life was an exemplar for our existing lives and their death was an exemplar for our death times.

Dua Al Mashlool
The Supplication of the Lame Man
This supplication is also called “the supplication of the young man punished for his sins.”
This supplication has been taught by Imam Ali Ameer Al-Momineen(peace be upon him) to a
young man who was paralyzed due to the wrongdoings and sins that he had committed
against his father. After he said this supplication, the young lame man slept and saw in dream
that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his family) came to him and passed his hand
over his body saying, “Hold on to the Greatest Name of Almighty Allah and your deeds will
be good.” When he woke up, he found himself healed from lameness.
Recite this dua’a after Isha salat. It brings countless blessings. All your
legitimate desires will be fulfilled. It drives away poverty and sickness.
Sins are for given. Debts are cleared. Enemies become friends. Domestic
affairs are set aright. Disputes are settled in your favour. Prisoners are
set free mental worries disappear. Prosperity, sound mind and healthy
body stand by you at all times.
Mercy and forgiveness of sins are the main advantages the almighty Allah
makes available if this dua’a is recited regularly.

Dua Al Yestersheer
The Supplication of Consulting.
Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said: “The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him & his family) taught me this supplication and ordered me to say it under all circumstances, sorrow and joy. He also instructed me to convey it to my heir and not to leave it as long as I am alive until I meet Almighty Allah.
Additionally, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him & his family) ordered me to say the supplication every morning and evening, for it is one of the treasures of the Divine Throne.” As ‘Abdullah ibn Ubayy begged the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him & his family) to tell more about the merits of the supplication, the Holy Prophet did.

Du’a’ Al-Amn
(Supplication for Security)
Du’a’ Al-Amn is one of the supplications of al-Sahifah al-Sajjadiyyah. It is considered to
achieve security against the ruling authorities, ordeals, overcoming of the enemies, fear of
poverty, and downheartedness.
Whenever you fear something harmful, you are highly recommended to say this
supplicatory prayer.
اؤُهُ فِي الْمُهِمَّاتِWhen Faced with a Worrisome Task 1 O He through whom the knots of detested things are untied! يَا مَنْ تُحَلُّ بِهِ عُقَدُ الْمَكَارِهِ ، 1 2 O He through whom the cutting edge of hardships is blunted! وَيَا مَنْ يُفْثَأُ بِهِ حَدُّ الشَّدَائِدِ، 2 3 O He from whom is begged the outlet to the freshness of relief! وَيَا مَنْ يُلْتَمَسُ مِنْهُ الْمَخْرَجُ إلَى رَوْحِ الْفَرَجِ ، 3 4 Intractable affairs yield to Thy power, ذَلَّتْ لِقُدْرَتِـكَ الصِّعَابُ 4 5 means are made ready by Thy gentleness, وَتَسَبَّبَتْ بِلُطْفِكَ الاسْبَابُ ، 5 6 the decree goes into effect through Thy power, وَجَرى بِقُدْرَتِكَ الْقَضَاءُ 6 7 and all things proceed according to Thy desire. وَمَضَتْ عَلَى إرَادَتِكَ الاشْياءُ ، 7 8 By Thy desire they follow Thy command without Thy word فَهْيَ بِمَشِيَّتِكَ دُونَ قَوْلِكَ مُؤْتَمِرَةٌ ، 8 9 and by Thy will they obey Thy bans without Thy prohibition. وَبِإرَادَتِكَ دُونَ نَهْيِكَ مُنْزَجِرَةٌ. 9 10 Thou art the supplicated in worries أَنْتَ الْمَدْعُوُّ لِلْمُهِمَّاتِ ، 10 11 and the place of flight in misfortunes; وَأَنْتَ الْمَفزَعُ فِي الْمُلِمَّاتِ ، 11 12 none of them is repelled unless Thou repellest, لاَيَنْدَفِعُ مِنْهَا إلاّ مَا دَفَعْتَ ، 12 13 and none is removed unless Thou removest. وَلا يَنْكَشِفُ مِنْهَا إلاّ مَا كَشَفْتَ. 13 14 Upon me has come down, My Lord, something whose weight burdens me وَقَدْ نَزَلَ بِي يا رَبِّ مَا قَدْ تَكَأدَنيَّ ثِقْلُهُ ، 14 15 and upon me has fallen something whose carrying oppresses me. وَأَلَمَّ بِي مَا قَدْ بَهَظَنِي حَمْلُهُ ، 15 16 Through Thy power Thou hast brought it down upon me وَبِقُدْرَتِكَ أَوْرَدْتَهُ عَلَيَّ 16 17 and through Thy authority Thou hast turned it toward me. وَبِسُلْطَانِكَ وَجَّهْتَهُ إليَّ. 17 18 None can send away what Thou hast brought, فَلاَ مُصْدِرَ لِمَا أوْرَدْتَ ، 18 19 none can deflect what Thou hast turned, وَلاَ صَارِفَ لِمَا وَجَّهْتَ ، 19 20 none can open what Thou hast closed, وَلاَ فَاتِحَ لِمَا أغْلَقْتَ ، 20 21 none can close what Thou hast opened, وَلاَ مُغْلِقَ لِمَا فَتَحْتَ ، 21 22 none can make easy what Thou hast made difficult, وَلاَ مُيَسِّرَ لِمَا عَسَّرْتَ، 22 23 none can help him whom Thou hast abandoned. وَلاَ نَاصِرَ لِمَنْ خَذَلْتَ 23 24 So bless Muhammad and his Household, فَصَلَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ ، 24 25 open for me, my Lord, the door of relief through Thy graciousness, وَافْتَحْ لِي يَا رَبِّ بَابَ الْفَرَجِ بِطَوْلِكَ ، 25 26 break from me the authority of worry by Thy strength, وَاكْسِرْ عَنِّيْ سُلْطَانَ الْهَمِّ بِحَوْلِكَ ، 26 27 confer the beauty of Thy gaze upon my complaint, وَأَنِلْيني حُسْنَ ألنَّظَرِ فِيمَا شَكَوْتُ ، 27 28 let me taste the sweetness of benefaction in what I ask, وَأذِقْنِي حَلاَوَةَ الصُّنْعِ فِيمَا سَاَلْتُ. 28 29 give me from Thyself mercy and wholesome relief, وَهَبْ لي مِنْ لَدُنْكَ رَحْمَةً وَفَرَجاً هَنِيئاً 29 30 and appoint for me from Thyself a quick way out! وَاجْعَلْ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ مَخْرَجاً وَحِيّاً. 30 31 Distract me not through worry from observing Thy obligations and acting in accordance with Thy prescriptions. وَلا تَشْغَلْنِي بالاهْتِمَامِ عَنْ تَعَاهُدِ فُرُوضِكَ وَاسْتِعْمَالِ سُنَّتِكَ. 31 32 My capacity has been straitened, my Lord, by what has come down on me, فَقَدْ ضِقْتُ لِمَا نَزَلَ بِي يَا رَبِّ ذَرْعاً ، 32 33 and I am filled with worry by carrying what has happened to me, وَامْتَلاتُ بِحَمْلِ مَا حَـدَثَ عَلَيَّ هَمّاً ، 33 34 while Thou hast power to remove what has afflicted me وَأنْتَ الْقَادِرُ عَلَى كَشْفِ مَا مُنِيتُ بِهِ ، 34 35 and to repel that into which I have fallen. وَدَفْعِ مَا وَقَعْتُ فِيهِ ، 35 36 So do that for me though I merit it not from Thee, فَافْعَلْ بِي ذلِـكَ وَإنْ لَمْ أَسْتَوْجِبْهُ مِنْكَ ، 36 37 O Possessor of the Mighty Throne! يَا ذَا العَرْشِ الْعَظِيمَ. 37 |
DUA AL-NOOR
The Supplication of the Light.
A narration quoting Salman as saying, “Lady Fatimah al-Zahra’(peace be upon her) conveyed
to me some words that she had learnt from the Holy Messenger (peace be upon him & his
family) and she used to repeat them each morning and evening. Moreover, she said that if
you would like not to be afflicted by the harm of fever as long as you live in this world, you
may say this supplicatory prayer regularly.
It is reported in Muhaj al Dawat by sayyid bin Tawus that bibi Fatimah Zahra taught this dua’a to Salman. The Holy Prophet had given this dua’a to his daughter with instruction that whoso recites it daily, in the morning and evening, remains safe from fever.
In the name of Allah, the O Allah, (please do) send (We seek fulfillment of our desires) |
