orgPg1

The prayer of Imam al-usayn (`a), the Chief of Martyrs, on the `Araft Day is one of the famous prayers. Bishr
and Bashr, the sons of Ghlib al-Asad, narrated that they, once, accompanied Imam al-usayn (`a) at the `Araft
Night when he left his tent with submission and reverence. He walked slowly until he, accompanied by a group of his
household, sons, and servants, stopped at the left side of Mount `Araft and turned his face towards the Holy
Ka`bah. He then raised his hands (for supplication) to the level of his face, just like a poor man begging food, and
said:

Praise be to Allah Whose


determination cannot be
repelled by anything,

alamdu lillhi alladh laysa


liqa'ih dfi`un

Whose gifts cannot be stopped


by anything,

wa l li`a'ih mni`un

and Whose making cannot be


resembled by the making of
anyone.

wa l kaun`ih un`u ni`in

He is the All-magnanimous,
the All-liberal.

wa huwa aljawdu alwsi`u

He originated the genus of the


wonderfully created things

faara ajnsa albad'i`i

and He perfected the made


things by His wisdom.

wa atqana biikmatih alan'i`a

All growing things cannot be


hidden from Him

l takhf `alayhi alal'i`u

and all things deposited with


Him shall never be wasted.

wa l ta`u `indah alwad'i`u

He is the Repayer on every


deed,

jz kulli ni`in

the Enricher of every satisfied


one,

wa ryishu kulli qni`in

the Merciful toward every


suppliant,

wa rimu kulli ri`in

and the Revealer of the


benefits

wa munzilu almanfi`i

and the All-comprehensive


Book with the glaring light.

walkitbi aljmi`i bilnnri


alssi`i

He is also the Hearer of


prayers,

wa huwa lildda`awti smi`un

the Warder-off of anguishes,

wa lilkurubti dfi`un

the Raiser of ranks,

wa lilddarajti rfi`un

and the Suppressor of the


tyrants.

wa liljabbirati qmi`un

There is no god other than


Him

fal ilha ghayruh

and there is nothing


equivalent to Him

wa l shay'a ya`diluh

and nothing like a likeness of


Him,

wa laysa kamithlih shay'un

and He is the All-hearing, the


All-seeing,

wa huwa alssam`u albaru

ArafatDayImamHussain(as)Duawww.Duas.orgPg2

the All-gentle, the All-aware,

allafu alkhabru

and He has power over all


things.

O Allah, I willingly desire for


You

You had begun bestowing on


me

ibtada'tan bini`matika

before I was anything worth


mentioning,

madhkran

and You created me from


dust.

wa khalaqtan min altturbi

You then put me up in the


loins,

thumma askantan al-alba

(making me) saved from


vicissitudes of time,

minan liraybi almanni

and change of ages and years.

wakhtilfi aldduhri walssinna

I was moving from a loin to a


womb

falam azal `inan min ulbin


il raimin

throughout the passage of the


past days

f taqdumin min al-ayymi


almiyati

and the ancient ages;

walqurni alkhliyati

as You have not taken me out


(to this world)on account of
Your sympathy to me,

lam tukhrijn lira'fatika b

Your kindness to me,

wa lufika l

and Your compassion to me

wa isnika ilayya

in the government of the


heads of unbelief

f dawlati a'immati alkufri

who breached their covenant

Even before that, You had


compassion on me,

wa min qabli dhlika ra'ufta b

through Your excellent


conferral

bijamli un`ika

You have not made me

You then took me out on

att idh istahlaltu niqan

ArafatDayImamHussain(as)Duawww.Duas.orgPg4

with recognition of You

bi'an alhamtan ma`rifataka

and alarmed me by the


wonders of Your wisdom,

wa rawwa`tan bi`aj'ibi
ikmatika

and You aroused in me that


which You created in Your

wa razaqtan min anw`i

and from leading me to that

You.

wa waffaqtan lim yuzlifun

Imam al-usayn (`a) then repeated y-rabbi so frequently and effectively that he attracted the attentions of all
the others who, instead of praying for granting their needs, surrounded Imam al-usayn (`a) to listen to him and
pray for the response of his supplication. Then, they wept with him. At sunset, they left Mount `Araft with him.
This is the end of Imam al-usayns supplicatory prayer on the `Araft Day according to the narrations of alKaf`am in his book of al-Balad al-Amn and `Allmah al-Majlis in his book of Zd al-Ma`d. As for Sayyid Ibn
ws, he, in his book of Iqbl al-A`ml, adds the following statements to the supplicatory prayer:

O my God, I am needy despite


my richness;

ghinya

so, how can I not be needy in


my neediness?

f faqr

O my God, I am ignorant
despite my knowledge;

ilh an alfaqru f

ArafatDayImamHussain(as)Duawww.Duas.orgPg32
so, how can I not be ignorant in

O my God, the variety of Your

Your ordainments

have urged Your servants, who


recognize You,

not to stop at a certain gift

and not to despair of You in


tribulations.
