In his book of Jamal al-Usbu', Sayyid Ibn Tawus has recorded a special prayer and supplication for each of the Holy Imams (a.s.), to be offered on Fridays.

Imam al-Baqir (a.s.)'s prayer consists of two units. In each unit, recite [Surah al-Fatihah](A5) once and then repeat the following litany one hundred times.

Text and Translation

سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَلَا اِلٰهَ اِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَاللّٰهُ اَكْبَرُ

SUBHAANALLAAHI WAL HAMDU LILLAAHI WA LAA ILAAHA ILLALLAAHU WALLAAHU AKBAR

All glory be to Allah, all praise be to Allah, there is no god save Allah, and Allah is the Greatest.

Upon concluding the prayer, say the following supplication:

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّيْ اَسْاَلُكَ

O Allah, I beseech You,

يَا حَلِيْمُ ذُوْ اَنَاةٍ
