Hamd hai Khuda ke liye jo buland hua to ghaalib raha
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ بَطَنَ فَخَبَرَ
Hamd hai Khuda ke liye jo posheedah hai to ba khabar hai
وَالْحَمْدُلِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ مَلَكَ فَقَدَرَ
Hamd hai Khuda ke liye jo Maalik hai to qudrat rakhta hai
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ يُحْيِىْ الْمَوْتىَ
Aur hamd hai Khuda ke liye jo murdon ko zindah karta hai
وَ يُمِيْتُ الْاَحْيَاۤءَ
Aur zindon ko maut deta hai
وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۔
Aur woh har cheez par qudrat rakhta hai.
woh gunāhoñ se is tarah paak ho jaaye ga jaise aaj hi baṭn-e-mādar se dunya meiñ aaya hai. Yeh riwaayat Shaykh Sadooq rahmatullahi 'alayhi aur Shaykh Ṭoosi rahmatullahi 'alayhi ne bhi naql ki hai.
'Uddat-ud-Daa'i meiñ Ḥazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq 'alayhissalaam se naql kiya hai ke yeh mukhtaṣar tareen cheez hai jis se ḥamd-e-Khuda ki jaa sakti hai.
Lekin is riwaayat meiñ doosri ḥamd teesri ḥamd teesri ḥamd ke ba'd hai.
2. Ḥazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq 'alayhissalaam se manqool hai ke Rasool-e-Khuda sallallahu 'alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam apne bistar par tashreef le jaate the to Aayat-ul-Kursi paṛh kar yeh kehte the:
بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ
Khuda ke naam se
اٰمَنْتُ بِاللّٰهِ
Main Khuda par Imaan laaya hoon
وَ كَفَرْتُ بِالطَّاغُوْتِ
Aur Taaghoot ka inkaar kiya hai
اَللّٰهُمَّ احْفَظْنِىْ فِىْ مَنَامِىْ وَ فِىْ يَقَظَتِىْ۔
Ay Ma'bood! Tu neend aur bedaari mein meri hifaazat farma.
3. Mufaḍḍal bin 'Umar se manqool hai ke Ḥazrat Imam Sadiq 'alayhissalaam ne mujh se farmaaya ke agar tumhaare liye mumkin ho to raat se pehle hi khud ko gyārah (11) ḥuroof se ta'weez kar lo. Maiñ ne 'arz ki ke woh kya hain? Farmaaya kaho:
اَعُوْذُ بِعِزَّةِ اللّٰهِ
Main panaah chahta hoon Allah ki izzat,
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِقُدْرَةِ اللّٰهِ
main panaah chahta hoon Allah ki qudrat,
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِجَلَالِ اللّٰهِ
main panaah chahta hoon Allah ke jalaal,
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِسُلْطَانِ اللّٰهِ
main panaah chahta hoon Allah ki saltanat,

main panaah chahta hoon Allah ki jama',

main panaah chahta hoon Allah ke mulk,
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِوَجْهِ اللّٰهِ
main panaah chahta hoon Allah ki azmat,
وَ اَعُوْذُ بِرَسُوْلِ اللّٰهِ
main panaah chahta hoon Allah ke Rasool (S.A.W.) ki,
صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ اٰلِهٖ
Durood o salaam ho un par aur unki Aal (A.S.) par
مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ وَ بَرَءَ وَ ذَرَءَ۔
tamaam makhlooqaat ke shar se.
4. Ḥazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq 'alayhissalaam se manqool hai ke jo shakhs apne bistar par jaate hu'e sau (100) martaba Qul Huwa Allāhu Aḥad paṛhe ga us ke pachchaas saal ke gunāh bakhsh diye jaayeñ ge.
Aur aap 'alayhissalaam hi se riwaayat hai ke jo shakhs apne bistar jaate hu'e Qul Yā Ayyuhal Kāfirūn aur Qul Huwa Allāh paṛhe Khuda-e-'Alam us ke liye shirk se bezaari likh de ga.
5. Ḥazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq 'alayhissalaam se manqool hai ke Ḥazrat Rasool-e-Akram sallallahu 'alayhi wa aalihi wa sallam ne farmaaya ke jo shakhs Namaaz-e-Shab ke liye bedaar hona chaahe. Bistar par laiṭne ke ba'd kahe:
اَللّٰهُمَّ لَاتُؤْمِنِّىْ مَكْرَكَ
Ay Ma'bood! Tu mujhe apni tadbeer se be-khauf na hone de
وَلَاتُنْسِنِىْ ذِكْرَكَ
apna zikr faraamosh na karaa
وَلَا تَجْعَلْنِىْ مِنَ الْغَافِلِيْنَ
aur mujhe ghaafilon mein se qaraar na de
اَقُوْمُ سَاعَةَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا۔
ke main falaan falaan waqt jaag uthoon.
To jab yeh kahe ga Khuda-e-'Alam ek farishtah mu'aiyyan kar de ga jo use 'ayn waqt par bedaar kar de ga.
6. Ḥazrat Imam Ja'far Sadiq 'alayhissalaam hi se marwi hai ke jab tum se koi raat ko neend se bedaar ho to yeh paṛhe: woh yeh alfāẓ kahe ga to beshak Khuda-e-'Alam farmaaye ga mere bande ne sach kaha hai aur shukr adaa kiya hai.
سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ رَبِّ النَّبِيْيِّنَ
Paak hai Allah jo Nabiyon ka Rabb hai
وَ اِلٰهِ الْمُرْسَلِيْنَ
Rasoolon ka Ma'bood
وَ رَبِّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِيْنَ
aur dabbe hue logon ka paalne wala,
وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ الَّذِىْ يُحْيِى الْمَوْتٰى
Hamd hai Khuda ke liye jo murdon ko zindah karta hai
وَ هُوَ عَلٰى كُلِّشَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ
aur woh har cheez par Qaadir hai
7. 'Abdur Raḥmān bin Ḥajjāj se riwaayat hai ke Ḥazrat Imam Sadiq 'alayhissalaam jab raat ke aakhiri ḥiṣṣah meiñ neend se bedaar hote the to aawaaz ko itna buland karte ke ghar waale sun lete aur farmaate the:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اَعِنِّىْ عَلٰى هَوْلِ الْمُطَّلَعِ
Ay Ma'bood! Pesh aaye hue khutaraat mein madad farma
وَ وَسِّعْ عَلَىَّ ضِيْقَ الْمَضْجَعِ
Meri qabr ki tangi ko kushaa'ish mein badal dena
وَارْزُقْنِىْ خَيْرَ مَا قَبْلَ الْمَوْتِ
Aur maut se pehle mujhe bhalaa'i ataa karna
وَارْزُقْنِىْ خَيْرَ مَا بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ۔
Aur maut ke baad bhi bhalaa'i naseeb farmana.
