Invoking Allah’s Curse Upon the Lying Party
On the twenty-forth of Zilhajj, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) invited the Christians of Najran that each party would invoke Almighty Allah’s curse upon the liars among them so that the truthful party would be distinguished and the lying party would be cursed. The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) put on a cloak and embraced Imam Ali, Lady Fatemah al-Zahra, Imam al-Hasan, and Imam al-Husayn - peace be upon them all - and prayed Almighty Allah, saying, “O Allah, verily, each Prophet had a family members whom were the nearest to him. O Allah, these are my Household; so, remove uncleanness from them and purify them with thorough purification.” Immediately after that, Archangel Jibraeel descended carrying the Verse of Purification. Then, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) accompanied his family members as his partners in the process of invoking Almighty Allah’s curse upon the lying party. As soon as the Christians’ eyes fell on the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.)’s household, they realized that those individuals were the most truthful and that chastisement would be the share of anyone who would oppose them. They therefore did not dare to participate in that invocation of curse and, instead, they agreed to pay a tribute (jizyah) to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.).
On the twenty-fourth of Zilhajj too, Imam Ali Ameer al-Momineen (a.s.), while he was offering a prayer and, more precisely, while he was in the genuflection (ruku') of that prayer, gave his ring as alms to a poor who was begging in the mosque. Therefore, Almighty Allah revealed the holy verses (5:55-56): “Only Allah is your walee (master) and His Messenger and those who believe, those who keep up prayers and pay the poor-rate while they bow. And whoever takes Allah and His messenger and those who believe for a guardian, then surely the party of Allah are they that shall be triumphant.”
Text and Translation
Various Zikrs
The recommended acts on this day are as follows:
First: It is recommended to bathe oneself on this day.
Second: It is recommended to observe fasting.
Third: It is recommended to offer a two unit prayer that should be similar to the two unit prayer that is offered on the Eid al-Ghadeer Day in form, time, and even reward. The only difference is that Ayah al-Kursi should be recited with the two verses following it.
Fourth: It is recommended to say the supplicatory prayer that Shaykh al-Tusi and Sayyid Ibn Taaoos reported to be said after offering a two unit prayer and imploring for forgiveness seventy times. This supplicatory prayer begins with the following: اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِيْنَ اَلْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْاَرْضِ
In order to imitate the Commander of the Believers, Imam Ali (a.s.), each believing man and woman is required to give alms on this day. It is also advisable to visit the holy tomb of Imam Ali (a.s.) and it is proper to say [al-Ziyarah al-Jaame’ah](G13) (the Comprehensive Ziyarah).
Dua al-Mubaahalah
Fifth: It is recommended to say Dua al-Mubahalah, which is similar to the famous supplicatory prayer known as Dua al-Baha’ that is said at the last hours of Ramazan nights (i.e. sahar). Nevertheless, a little difference in this supplication is noticed between the version of Shaykh al-Tusi and the version of Sayyid Ibn Taaoos. I will thus choose the earlier one that is recorded in Shaykh al-Tusi’s book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid and reported from Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.):
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُكَ مِنْ بِهَآئِكَ بِاَبْهَاهُ وَکُلُّ بَهَآئِكَ بَہِیٌّ
