Isteghfar e Maujiz e Aasaa

Text and Translation

Imam al-Husayn (a) said: one day I was sitting with my father when an Arab man came and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I am a family man with no means to support them." Imam Ali (a) said, "O my Arab brother, why do you not seek forgiveness abundantly, that your condition may improve?" The man said, "O Commander of the Faithful, I have already sought much forgiveness, with no change in my situation." The Imam then recited to him the verses of Surah Nuh, 10-12:

اسْتَغْفِرُوا رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُ كَانَ غَفَّارًا

ISTAGHFIROO RABBAKUM INNAHU KAANA GHAFFAARAA

Ask forgiveness of your Lord; verily He is Ever-Forgiving,

يُرْسِلِ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًا

YURSILIS SAMAAA-A A'LAYKUM MIDRAARAA

He will send down abundant rain upon you from the sky,

وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَالٍ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّاتٍ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَارًا

WA YUMDIDKUM BI-AMWAALIW WA BANEENA WA YAJ-A'L LAKUM JANNAATIW WA YAJ-A'L LAKUM ANHAARAA

and aid you with wealth and children, and make for you gardens, and make for you rivers.

The Imam then said he would give him a form of istighfar to recite before sleeping, which would increase his sustenance if said every night. Imam al-Husayn (a) said his father wrote it down for the man and told him: whenever you go to bed to sleep, recite this weeping — and if tears will not come, at least make a weeping face. A year later the Arab man returned and said, "O Commander of the Faithful, you spoke the truth; I now have so many camels and cattle that I have no place left to tie them." Imam Ali (a) said: I swear by the One Who appointed the Prophet, whoever recites this istighfar seeking Allah's forgiveness will be forgiven, his legitimate desires fulfilled, and by its blessing he will be granted more children and wealth:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

BISMIL LAAHIR RAHMAANIR RAHEEM

In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in which I betrayed my trust, or by committing which I degraded myself, or burdened my own body, or in which I put my own pleasure first, or gave preference to my desire, or strove in which for someone else's sake, or led astray whoever followed me into it, or schemed in it against whoever restrained me, or overpowered whoever opposed me over it, or prevailed through the excellence of my own scheming, or referred the matter to You, my Master — yet You did not overpower me in my deed, since You disliked my disobedience and so were forbearing with me; but Your knowledge had already preceded regarding my committing it. You did not, my Lord, force me into it, nor compel me to it, nor wrong me in it in any way; so I seek Your forgiveness for it and for all my sins.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in whose commission I sought help through my own scheming, using something meant for Your sake, or something by which Your obedience is normally aided, or something by which nearness to You is normally sought — while I concealed it from people and disguised it, as if I sought You through my scheming when what was truly intended was disobedience to You, and my desire in it was directed to other than Your obedience.

(20) اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِكُلِّ ذَنْبٍ كَتَبْتَهٗ عَلَيَّ بِسَبَبِ عُجْبٍ، كَانَ بِنَفْسِيْ اَوْ رِيَاءٍ اَوْ سُمْعَةٍ، اَوْ خُيَلَاءَ اَوْ فَرَحٍ، اَوْ اَشَرٍ، اَوْ بَطَرٍ، اَوْ حِقْدٍ، اَوْ حَمِيَّةٍ، اَوْ غَضَبٍ، اَوْ رِضًي، اَوْ شُحٍّ، اَوْ بُخْلٍ، اَوْ ظُلْمٍ، اَوْ خِيَانَةٍ، اَوْ سِرْقَةٍ، اَوْ نَوْعٍ مِنْ اَنْوَاعِ مَا يُكْتَسَبُ بِمِثْلِهِ الذُّنُوْبُ وَيَكُوْنُ بِاجْتِرَاحِهِ الْعَطْبُ

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin You have recorded against me by reason of self-admiration, ostentation, seeking a name, arrogance, excessive joy, insolence, wantonness, malice, tribal partisanship, anger, undue approval, avarice, miserliness, oppression, betrayal, theft, or any other kind of deed by which sins of this sort are earned and ruin is brought about through committing them.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin which Your knowledge had already known I would commit, and which I entered into through my own desire, committed through my own will, and pursued through my own love, pleasure, and choice — I willed it because You willed that I should will it, and I intended it because You intended that I should intend it, and I did it because it was already in Your ancient decree and Your penetrating knowledge that I would do it. You did not force me into it, nor compel me to it, nor wrong me in it in any way; so I seek Your forgiveness for it and for every sin that Your knowledge has recorded upon me and within me until the end of my life.

O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness for every sin in which my displeasure turned away from Your pleasure, though my soul was inclined toward Your pleasure yet I was displeased with it; or in which I feared someone other than You; or in which I showed enmity toward Your friends, or allegiance toward Your enemies, or chose them over Your chosen ones; or in which I abandoned Your loved ones, or fell short of Your pleasure — O Best of forgivers.
