DUA OF COVENANT WITH ALMIGHTY ALLAH (S.W.T)
Eleventh: Al-Tusi, al-Kaf’ami, and other scholars have reported that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said to his companions, “Will you be too feeble to make a covenant with Almighty Allah every morning and evening?”
“How can we do that?” they asked.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) instructed, “You may say this supplicatory covenant. When you do so, the covenant will be sealed and put under the Divine Throne. On the Resurrection Day, a caller will call out at those who have made a covenant with the All-beneficent Lord. You will be then given that covenant and allowed to enter Paradise.”
Shaykh al-Tusi has mentioned this supplicatory covenant to be said after the dawn (fajr) Prayers:
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ
O Allah, Originator of the heavens and the earth,
عَالِمَ الْغَيْبِ وَ الشَّهَادَةِ
Knower of the unseen and the seen,
الرَّحْمٰنَ الرَّحِيْمَ
All-beneficent, and All-merciful;
اَعْهَدُ اِلَيْكَ فِىْ هٰذِهِ الدُّنْيَا
I make to You a covenant in this world
اَنَّكَ اَنْتَ اللّٰهُ لَاۤ اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اَنْتَ
that You are Allah; there is no god save You,
وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيْكَ لَكَ
One and Only and having no partner;
وَاَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ
and that Muhammad, may Allah bless him and his Household,
عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُوْلُكَ
is Your servant and messenger.
اَللّٰهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِهٖ
O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household
وَ لَا تَكِلْنِىْ اِلٰى نَفْسِىْ طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ اَبَدًا
and never relegate me to myself even for a winking of an eye
وَلَاۤ اِلىٰ اَحَدٍ مِّنْ خَلْقِكَ
or to any of Your creatures,
فَاِنَّكَ اِنْ وَكَلْتَنِىْ اِلَيْهَا
because if You relegate me to them,
تُبَاعِدْنِىْ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ
You will move me away from goodness
وَتُقَرِّبْنِىْ مِنَ الشَّرِّ
and draw me near to evil.
اَىْ رَبِّ لَاۤ اَثِقُ اِلَّا بِرَحْمَتِكَ
O my Lord, I trust in none but Your mercy;
فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِهِ الطَّيِّبِيْنَ
so, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household
وَاجْعَلْ لِىْ عِنْدَكَ عَهْدًا
and keep for me a covenant with You
تُؤَدِّيْهِ اِلَىَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ
that You will give it back to me on the Resurrection Day.
اِنَّكَ لَا تُخْلِفُ الْمِيْعَادَ۔
Verily, You never fail to fulfill Your promise.
Twelfth: In the book of ‘Uddat al-DAI, it is recorded that Imam al-Sadiq(a.s.) has said: He who invokes Almighty Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household using this form after the dawn (fajr) Prayers before speaking, Almighty Allah will save his face from being burnt with Hellfire:
رَبِّ صَلِّى عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِ مَحَمَّدٍ وَّ اَهْلِ بَيْتِ مُحَمَّدٍ۔
O my Lord, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad, Muhammad’s family, and Muhammad’s Household.
In his book of Thawab al-A’mal, Ibn Baabwayh has reported the following through a valid chain of authority: In order that Almighty Allah will save your face from being burnt with Hellfire, you may repeat the following invocation of blessings one hundred times after the dawn (fajr) Prayers:
اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ۔
O Allah, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.
According to another tradition, you may repeat the following invocation of blessing and supplicatory prayer one hundred times before you say any other word (after the accomplishment of a ritual prayer):
يَا رَبِّ صَلِّ عَلىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَّ اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ
O my Lord, (please) send blessings upon Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad
وَّ اَعْتِقْ رَقَبَتِىْ مِنَ النَّارِ۔
and set my neck free from Hellfire.
