A Gift from Imam Hussain (A.S) : Dua

On the 10^th day of Muharram, known as the day of 'Aashura, in the year 61 A.H. when Imam Abu ' Abdillahil Hussein (as) came into the tent to bid farewell to his family members, he held the hand of his sick son, Ali ibn al-Hussein (as) and pressed it against his chest. He (as) then said,

"O son ! I am teaching you a dua' which you should remember. It was taught by angel Jibrail to my grandfather the messenger of Allah who passed it to my mother Fatima. Whenever you have a special need or are faced with any calamity or crises, or are inflicted with any grief or hardship, then recite the following supplication":

بحَقِّ يس وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْحَكِيمِ وَ بِحَقِّ طه                                       وَ الْقُرْآنِ الْعَظِيمِ يَا مَنْ يَقْدِرُ عَلَى حَوَائِجِ                                      السَّائِلِينَ يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي الضَّمِيرِ                                      يَا مُنَفِّساً عَنِ الْمَكْرُوبِينَ يَا مُفَرِّجاً عَنِ                                      الْمَغْمُومِينَ يَا رَاحِمَ الشَّيْخِ الْكَبِيرِ يَا                                      رَازِقَ الطِّفْلِ الصَّغِيرِ يَا مَنْ لَا يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى                                      التَّفْسِير صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ افْعَلْ بِي...
