Al-Ahd Duaa
Al-'Ahd Duaa (Arabic:دعاء العهد) is a supplication narrated from Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq (peace be upon him) and there, re-allegiance with Hujjat Allah ibn al-Hasan Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef) and praying for his return are mentioned. Recitation of this supplication during the occultation of Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef) has been greatly emphasized. It is said that anyone who recites this supplication forty successive mornings will be among the companions of Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef).
anyone, who recites this supplication in forty (successive) mornings, will be among the companions of Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef) in the uprising and if he dies before Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef) reappearance, Allah Almighty will resurrect him to fight for Imam al-Mahdi (Ajal allahu ta'ala farajaho shareef), and for every word of the supplication, a thousand rewards will be recorded for him and a thousand bad deeds of his profile will be wiped out.Majlisi, Bihar al-anwar, vol. 83, p. 284

O Allah, convey to our master Imam al-Mahdi, the guide who is to undertake Your orders, may Allah’s blessings be upon him and upon his immaculate fathers,عَنْ جَمٖیعِ ا لْمُو ْٔمِنٖینَ وَ ا لْمُو ْٔمِناٰتِ فٖى مَشاٰرِقِ ا لْاَرْضِ وَ مَغاٰرِبِهاٰ ، سَهْلِهاٰ وَ جَبَلِهاٰ ، وَ بَرِّهاٰ وَ بَحْرِهاٰ ،
on behalf of all of the believing men and women in the east and west of the earth and in plains, mountains, lands, and seas,وَ عَنّٖى وَ عَنْ وٰالِدَىَّ مِنَ ال صَّلَواٰتِ زِنَةَ عَرْشِ ا للهِ ، وَ مِداٰدَ کَلِماٰتِهِ ، وَ ماٰ اَحْصاٰهُ عِلْمُهُ [كِتَاٰبُهُ] ، وَ اَحاٰطَ بِهِ کِتاٰبُهُ [عِلْمُهُ] ،
And on behalf of my parents (convey to him) blessings that are as weighty as Allah’s Throne, as much as the ink of His Words, and as many as that which is counted by His knowledge and encompassed by His Book.اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنّٖى اُجَدِّدُ لَهُ فٖى صَبٖیحَةِ یَوْمٖى هٰذاٰ وَ ماٰ عِشْتُ مِنْ اَیّاٰمٖى ،
O Allah, I update to him in the beginning of this day and throughout the days of lifetime a pledge, a covenant,عَهْدًا وَ عَقْدًا وَ بَیْعَةً لَهُ فٖى عُنُقٖى ، لاٰ اَحُولُ عَنْهاٰ وَ لاٰ اَزُولُ اَبَداً ،
And allegiance to which I commit myself and from which I neither convert nor change.اَللّٰهُمَّ ا جْعَلْنٖى مِنْ اَنْصاٰرِهِ وَ اَعْواٰنِهِ ، وَ ال ذّآٰبّٖینَ عَنْهُ ، وَ ا لْمُساٰرِعٖینَ اِلَیْهِ فٖى قَضآٰءِ حَوآٰئِجِهِ ،
O Allah, (please do) make me of his supporters, sponsors, defenders, and those who hurry in carrying out his instructions,وَ ا لْمُمْتَثِلٖینَ لِاَواٰمِرِهِ ، وَ ا لْمُحاٰمٖینَ عَنْهُ ، وَ ال سّاٰبِقٖینَ اِلٰی اِراٰدَتِهِ ، وَ ا لْمُسْتَشْهَدٖینَ بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ؛
those who comply with his orders,those who uphold him, those who precede others to implementing his will, and those who will be martyred before him;اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنْ حاٰلَ بَیْنٖى وَ بَیْنَهُ ا لْمَوْتُ ا لَّذٖى جَعَلْتَهُ عَلٰی عِباٰدِکَ حَتْماً مَقْضِیّاً ،
O Allah, if death that You have made inevitably and certainly incumbent upon Your servants stands between me and him,فَاَخْرِجْنٖى مِنْ قَبْرٖى مُو ْٔتَزِرًا کَفَنٖى ،
Then (please do) take me out of my grave using my shroud as dress,شاٰهِرًا سَیْفٖى ، مُجَرِّدًا قَناٰتٖى ، مُلَبِّیًا دَعْوَةَ ال دّاٰعٖى فِی ا لْحاٰضِرِ وَ ا لْباٰدٖى ،
Unsheathing my sword, holding my lance in my hand, and responding to the call of the Caller who shall announce (his advent) in urban areas and deserts.اَللّٰهُمَّ اَرِنِی ال طَّلْعَةَ ال رَّشٖیدَةَ ، وَ ا لْغُرَّةَ ا لْحَمٖیدَةَ ، وَ ا کْحُلْ [وَ ا كْحَلْ] ناٰظِرٖى بِنَظْرَةٍ مِنّٖى اِلَیْهِ ، وَ عَجِّلْ فَرَجَهُ ،
O Allah, (please do) show me his magnificent mien and his praiseworthy forehead, delight my eyes by letting me have a look at him. And (please) expedite his relief, وَ سَهِّلْ مَخْرَجَهُ ، وَ اَوْسِعْ مَنْهَجَهُ ، وَ ا سْلُکْ بٖى مَحَجَّتَهُ ، وَ اَنْفِذْ اَمْرَهُ ، وَ ا شْدُدْ اَزْرَهُ ،
make his reappearance easy, clear a spacious space for him, guide me to follow his course, give success to his issues, and confirm his strength,وَ ا عْمُرِ اَللّٰهُمَّ بِهِ بِلاٰدَکَ ، وَ اَحْىِ بِهِ عِباٰدَکَ ، فَاِنَّکَ قُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُکَ ا لْحَقُّ :
O Allah, construct Your lands through him and refresh Your servants through him, For You have said, and true are Your words:"ظَهَرَ ا لْفَساٰدُ فِی ا لْبَرِّ وَ ا لْبَحْرِ بِماٰ کَسَبَتْ اَیْدِی ال نّاٰسِ" ،
“Corruption has appeared in the land and the sea on account of what the hands of men have wrought.”فَاَظْهِرِ اَللّٰهُمَّ لَناٰ وَلِیَّکَ وَ ا بْنَ بِنْتِ نَبِیِّکَ ا لْمُسَمّٰى بِا سْمِ رَسُولِکَ ،
So, O Allah, (please) show us Your vicegerent, the son of Your Prophet, and the namesake of Your Messenger (peace be upon him),and his Household,حَتّٰی لاٰ یَظْفَرَ بِشَىْءٍ مِنَ ا لْباٰطِلِ اِلّاٰ مَزَّقَهُ ، وَ یُحِقَّ ا لْحَقَّ وَ یُحَقِّقَهُ ،وَ ا جْعَلْهُ
So that he shall tear up any wrong item that he will face and shall confirm and approve of the truth.اَللّٰهُمَّ مَفْزَعاً لِمَظْلُومِ عِباٰدِکَ ، وَ ناٰصِرًا لِمَنْ لاٰ یَجِدُ لَهُ ناٰصِرًا غَیْرَکَ ،
O Allah, (please) make him the shelter to whom Your wronged servants shall resort, the supporter of those who cannot find any supporter save You,وَ مُجَدِّدًا لِماٰ عُطِّلَ مِنْ اَحْکاٰمِ کِتاٰبِکَ ،
And the reviver of the laws of Your Book that have been suspended,وَ مُشَیِّدًا لِماٰ وَرَدَ مِنْ اَعْلاٰمِ دٖینِکَ ،وَ سُنَنِ نَبِیِّکَ صَلَّی ا للهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ ،
And the constructor of all signs of Your religion and instructions of Your Messenger, peace be upon him and his Household,وَ ا جْعَلْهُ اَللّٰهُمَّ مِمَّنْ حَصَّنْتَهُ مِنْ بَاْسِ ا لْمُعْتَدٖینَ ،
And that he will see. O Allah, (please) include him with those whom You protect from the domination of the aggressors.اَللّٰهُمَّ وَ سُرَّ نَبِیَّکَ مُحَمَّدًا صَلَّی ا للهُ عَلَیْهِ وَ اٰلِهِ بِرُو ْٔیَتِهِ ،وَ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ عَلٰی دَعْوَتِهِ ، وَ ا رْحَمِ ا سْتِکاٰنَتَناٰ بَعْدَهُ ،
O Allah, (please) delight Your Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his Household, as well as all those who followed him in his promulgation by making (us) see him, and (please) have mercy upon our humiliation after him.اَللّٰهُمَّ ا کْشِفْ هٰذِهِ ا لْغُمَّةَ عَنْ هٰذِهِ ا لْاُمَّةِ بِحُضُورِهِ ،
O Allah, (please) relieve this community from the (current) grief through presenting himوَ عَجِّلْ لَناٰ ظُهُورَهُ ، اِنَّهُمْ یَرَوْنَهُ بَعٖیدًا وَ نَرٰى هُ قَرٖیباً ،
and expedite his advent for us: “Surely, they think it to be far off, and We see it nigh.”بِرَحْمَتِکَ یاٰ اَرْحَمَ ال رّٰاحِمٖینَ.
[do all that] In the name of Your mercy; O most merciful of all those who show mercy.You may then slap your right thigh with your hand three times and, at each time, say the following:اَلْعَجَلَ ا لْعَجَلَ یاٰ مَوْلاٰىَ یاٰ صاٰحِبَ ال زَّماٰنِ
(We pray for Your) earliest advent, earliest advent, O Patron of the Age.
