The night of 19 Ramadhan 40 A.H. marked the beginning of one of the greatest losses to humanity.
A man who had given everything to others, who had been oppressed but never thought of revenge, who forgave his enemies, who helped the weak and fathered the orphans was preparing to meet his Lord.
On this night, a wicked and impure man was going to besmear his hands with the blood of the Commander of the Faithful so that it might serve as a dowry for a wicked and impure woman.
When it was dawn, Imam Ali (AS) proceeded to the mosque slowly.
He stopped at the gate for a short while and looked at the mourning ducks.
Imam arrived at the Kufa mosque and prostrated himself before Almighty Allah .
At that time, ibne Muljim (May the curse of Allah and all his creatures befall him) dealt such a blow on his head, everything in this world became heartbroken except the face of Ali who cried out: “By the Lord of the Kabah, I have been successful!”
First: Repeat the following invocation one hundred times
أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللّهَ رَبِّی وَأَتُوبُ إلَیْهِ.
astaghfiru allaha rabby wa atubu ilayhi
I seek the forgiveness of Allah, my Lord, and I repent before Him.
Second: Repeat the following invocation one hundred times
اللّهُمّ الْعَنْ قَتَلَةَ أَمِیرِ الْمُؤْمِنِینَ.
allahumma al`an qatalata ameeri almu´mineena
O Allah: (please do) curse the killers of the Commander of the Believers (Ameer al-Mu'mineen Imam `Ali).
Third: It is recommended to recite the following supplication :
یَا ذَا الّذِی کَانَ قَبْلَ کُلّ شَیْءٍ،
ya dhalladhy kana qabla kulli shay‘in
O He Who has been always there before all things,
ثُمّ خَلَقَ کُلّ شَیْءٍ
thumma khalaqa kulla shay‘in
And He then created all things,
ثُمّ یَبْقَى وَیَفْنَى کُلّ شَیْءٍ،،
thumm yabqa wa yafna kullu shay‘in
And He then stays while all things vanish.
یَا ذَا الّذِی لَیْسَ کَمِثْلِهِ شَیْءٌ،
ya dhalladhy laysa kamithlihi shay‘un
O He Whose like in not found at all
وَیَا ذَا الّذِی لَیْسَ فِی السّمَاوَاتِ العُلَى،
wa ya dhalladhy laysa fi alssamawati al`ula
O He; neither in the highest heavens,
وَلا فِی الأَرَضِینَ السّفْلَى
wa la fi alaradhina alssufla
Nor in the lowest layers of the earth
وَلا فَوْقَهُنّ وَلا تَحْتَهُنّ وَلا بَیْنَهُنّ إلهٌ یُعْبَدُ غَیْرُهُ،
wa la fawqahunna wa la tahtahunna wa la baynahunna ilhun yu`badu ghayruhu
،
Nor above them, nor beneath them, nor there is between them any god that is worshipped save Him.
لَکَ الحَمْدُ حَمْداً لا یَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهِ إلاَّ أَنْتَ،
laka alhamdu hamdan la yaqwa `ala ihsa’ihi illa anta
To You be the praise that none can count save You,
فَصَلّ عَلَى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ صَلاةً لا یَقْوَى عَلَى إحْصَائِهَا إلاَّ أَنْتَ.
fasalli `ala muhammadin wa ali muhammadin salatan
So, please bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad with the blessings that none can count save You.
Fourth : Recite this Supplication.
َاللّهُمَّ اْجْعَلْ فیما تَقْضى وَتُقَدِّرُ مِنَ الاْمْرِ الْمَحْتُومِ
allaahummaj-a’l feema taqz”ee wa tuqaddiru minal amril mah’toom
O Allah, while taking decisions and rendering possible things and events decisively
وَفیما تَفْرُقُ مِنَ الاْمْرِ الحَکیمِ فى لَیْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ وَفِى الْقَضاَّءِ الَّذى لا یُرَدُّ وَلا یُبَدَّلُ
wa feemaa tafruqu minal amril h’akeem fee laylatil qadr wa fil qaz”aaa-il lad’ee laa yuraddu wa la yubaddal
and determining a rational and sensible course of affairs in the Night of Qadr (which cannot be changed or bypassed),
اَنْ تَکْتُبَنى مِنْ حُجّاجِ بَیْتِکَ الْحَرامِ الْمَبْرُورِ حَجُّهُمُ
An taktubani min h’ujjaaji baytikal h’araamil mabroor h’ajjuhum
write my name in the list of those pilgrims of Thy Sacred House whose pilgrimage receive Thy approval,
الْمَشْکُورِ سَعْیُهُمُ الْمَغْفُورِ ذُنُوبُهُمُ الْمُکَفَّرِ عَنْهُمْ سَیِّئاتُهُمْ
almashkoor saa’-yuhumul maghfoor d’unoobuhumul mukaffari a’nhum sayyi-aatuhum
whose efforts are appreciated, whose sins are forgiven, whose wrongdoings are overlooked;
وَاجْعَلْ فیما تَقْضى وَتُقَدِّرُ اَنْ تُطیلَ عُمْرى وَتُوَسِّعَ عَلَىَّ فى رِزْقى وَتَفْعَلَ
waj-a’l feemaa taqz”ee wa tuqaddiru an tut’eela u’mree wa tuwassi-a’ a’layya fee rizqee wa taf-a’la
and, while taking decisions and rendering possible things and events, make possible for me a long life and enough means of livelihood, and fulfill… (mention your legitimate desires)
