Merits
According to books Minhaj-un-Da’vaat and Misbah it is narrated by Hazrat Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) who said: Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) taught me this Dua and told me to recite it in the time of prosperity as well as adversity. He also told me that I should teach it to my successor and recite regularly until I go before God. He also told me that I should recite this Dua every morning and evening because this Dua is one of the treasure from the treasures of divine knowledge.
Abi Bine Ka’ab once requested the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) to describe the excellence of this Dua The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: ‘This Dua is so excellent that even a learned man cannot describe it, but I shall narrate something about it. Whenever anyone beings to recite this Dua heavenly mercy and blessings descend upon him. God bestows upon him peace and divine mercy surrounds him. The destination of this Dua is only Divine Throne. The sound of this Dua encircles the Divine Throne with a humming sound like that of the bees and God looks upon the reciter with mercy. He who recites this Dua three times shall (Insha Allah) get his any worldly or hereafter wish fulfilled. God will free him from the punishment of the grave and remove the narrowness of his mind. He will come on the day of resurrection riding a white pearly dromedary. He will stand before God and the Lord will confer on him great honour and respect and order him to stay in paradise wherever he likes. In paradise he will be given such miraculous gifts which nobody has seen, heard or imagined.’
Hearing this Janab Salmane Farsi (r.a.) requested to describe still more. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) continued: ‘By God! Who has conferred on me prophethood, if this Dua is recited on a mad person, his insanity will go. If a pregnant woman feels extreme difficulty during delivery, this Dua should be recited before her and the child will be born with ease. O Salman! By Him Who sent me rightfully, if anybody recites this Dua for forty Friday nights with intention to please God, his every sin will be forgiven. If anybody recites this Dua with a clean mind his worldly sorrows and internal sicknesses shall be removed and he shall recover, O Salman! If anybody recites this Dua and goes to sleep hoping for a divine reward. God will send one thousand most respected angels whose faces are brighter than the sun and the moon for every word of this Dua, to pray for the reciter.
Janab Salman said: ‘O Hazrat is there so much divine reward for this Dua?’ The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) replied, ‘O Salman please don’t propagate the Divine reward of this Dua among ordinary people.’ Janab Salman (r.a.) asked: ‘O Holy one why do you command it to be concealed?’ The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) replied: ‘O Salman! I fear that people will depend wholly upon this Dua and give up other forms of prayer. He then concluded saying that if anybody recites this Dua and dies on the very night or day he shall get the reward of a martyr. The Lord shall pardon all his sins even if he has not repented for them.’
It has been narrated by Sayyed Ibne Ta’oos (a.r.) in book named Mahjid Davaat from Hazrat Ameerul Momineen (a.s.) that Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) taught this Dua to him for removal of all troubles and worries. This Dua is recommended to be recited with ablution and may be recited every morning and evening. It is the one of the treasures of Arsh of Almighty God. Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) when requested to define the merits of this Dua. It was told by him that the merits of this Dua are many and can be seen in the above noted book.
