   *wa tafaddal \`alayya bilqabuli wal-ghufrani*\
   rather, confer upon me with Your acceptance (of it) and forgiveness (of me).

*The supplication the Prophet (s) taught Imam Ali (a) for a strong memory:*

   Truly, You have power over all things.

   (I seek for all these) the protection of Allah, the Single,

130. ٱلأَحَدِ ٱلصَّمَدِ\
   *al-ahadi alssamadi*\

132. وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ كُفُواً أَحَدٌ\

134. مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ\

*The Prophet (s) said: whoever wishes that Allah will not show him his misdeeds on the Day of Resurrection, nor open their record, should say this after every obligatory prayer:*

144. اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ مَغْفِرَتَكَ أَرْجَىٰ مِنْ عَمَلِي\
   *allahumma inna maghfirataka arja min \`amali*\

145. وَإِنَّ رَحْمَتِكَ أَوْسَعُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي\

   Your mercy is truly more expansive than my sin.

   O Allah, If my sin is grave in Your view,

147. فَعَفْوُكَ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ ذَنْبِي\
   *fa\`afwuka a\`zamu min dhanbi*\
   then Your pardon is greater than my sin.

148. اَللَّهُمَّ إِنْ لَمْ أَكُنْ أَهْلاً أَنْ أَبْلُغَ رَحْمَتَكَ\
   *allahumma in lam akun ahlan an ablugha rahmataka*\

   *farahmatuka ahlun an tablughani wa tasa\`ani*\
   then Your mercy is so liberal that it can reach and include me,

150. لِأَنَّهَا وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ\
   *li-annaha wasi\`at kulla shay'in*\
   because it has included all things;

151. بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمينَ\
   *birahmatika ya arhama alrrahimina*\
   \[Let it be\] by Your mercy; O most Merciful of all those who show mercy.

*Shaykh al-Saduq says to recite the following straight after the Tasbih of Fatima al-Zahra (a):*

152. اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ٱلسَّلاَمُ\
   *allahumma anta alssalamu*\
   O Allah, You are the \[source of\] peace,

153. وَمِنْكَ ٱلسَّلاَمُ\

   and wellbeing in this world as well as the Next World.

*Then recite Surah al-Fatiha and these verses of the Qur'an, beginning with Ayat al-Kursi (2:255–257):*

191. ٱللَّهُ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْحَىُّ ٱلْقَيُّومُ ۚ لَا تَأْخُذُهُۥ سِنَةٌ وَلَا نَوْمٌ ۚ لَّهُۥ مَا فِى ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَمَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ ۗ مَن ذَا ٱلَّذِى يَشْفَعُ عِندَهُۥٓ إِلَّا بِإِذْنِهِۦ ۚ يَعْلَمُ مَا بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَمَا خَلْفَهُمْ ۖ وَلَا يُحِيطُونَ بِشَىْءٍ مِّنْ عِلْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّا بِمَا شَآءَ ۚ وَسِعَ كُرْسِيُّهُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضَ ۖ وَلَا يَـُٔودُهُۥ حِفْظُهُمَا ۚ وَهُوَ ٱلْعَلِىُّ ٱلْعَظِيمُ\
   Allah—there is no god except Him—is the Living One, the All-sustainer. Neither drowsiness befalls Him nor sleep. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth. Who is it that may intercede with Him except with His permission? He knows what is before them and what is behind them, and they do not comprehend anything of His knowledge except what He wishes. His seat embraces the heavens and the earth and He is not wearied by their preservation, and He is the All-exalted, the All-supreme.Holy Quran 2:255

192. لَآ إِكْرَاهَ فِى ٱلدِّينِ ۖ قَد تَّبَيَّنَ ٱلرُّشْدُ مِنَ ٱلْغَىِّ ۚ فَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلطَّـٰغُوتِ وَيُؤْمِنۢ بِٱللَّهِ فَقَدِ ٱسْتَمْسَكَ بِٱلْعُرْوَةِ ٱلْوُثْقَىٰ لَا ٱنفِصَامَ لَهَا ۗ وَٱللَّهُ سَمِيعٌ عَلِيمٌ\
   There is no compulsion in religion: rectitude has become distinct from error. So one who disavows fake deities and has faith in Allah has held fast to the firmest handle for which there is no breaking; and Allah is all-hearing, all-knowing.Holy Quran 2:256

193. ٱللَّهُ وَلِىُّ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ يُخْرِجُهُم مِّنَ ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ إِلَى ٱلنُّورِ ۖ وَٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓا۟ أَوْلِيَآؤُهُمُ ٱلطَّـٰغُوتُ يُخْرِجُونَهُم مِّنَ ٱلنُّورِ إِلَى ٱلظُّلُمَـٰتِ ۗ أُو۟لَـٰٓئِكَ أَصْحَـٰبُ ٱلنَّارِ ۖ هُمْ فِيهَا خَـٰلِدُونَ\
   Allah is the wali of the faithful: He brings them out of darkness into light. As for the faithless, their awliya are the fake deities, who drive them out of light into darkness. They shall be the inmates of the Fire, and they will remain in it \[forever\]Holy Quran 2:257.

*The verses of bearing witness (3:18–19):*

194. شَهِدَ ٱللَّهُ أَنَّهُۥ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ وَٱلْمَلَـٰٓئِكَةُ وَأُو۟لُوا۟ ٱلْعِلْمِ قَآئِمًۢا بِٱلْقِسْطِ ۚ لَآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ ٱلْعَزِيزُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ\
   Allah, maintainer of justice, the Almighty and the All-wise, besides whom there is no god, bears witness that there is no god except Him, and \[so do\] the angels and those who possess knowledge.Holy Quran 3:18

195. إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَـٰمُ ۗ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَـٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ\
   Indeed, with Allah religion is Islam, and those who were given the Book did not differ except after knowledge had come to them, out of envy among themselves. And whoever denies Allah’s signs \[should know that\] Allah is swift at reckoning.Holy Quran 3:19

*The verses of sovereignty (3:26–27):*

196. قُلِ اللّٰهُمَّ مٰلِكَ الْمُلْكِ تُؤْتِى الْمُلْكَ مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتَنْزِعُ الْمُلْكَ مِمَّنْ تَشَآءُ وَتُعِزُّ مَنْ تَشَآءُ وَتُذِلُّ مَنْ تَشَآءُ‌ ؕ بِيَدِكَ الْخَيْرُ‌ؕ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ‏ تُوْلِجُ الَّيْلَ فِى النَّهَارِ وَتُوْلِجُ النَّهَارَ فِى الَّيْلِ‌ وَتُخْرِجُ الْحَىَّ مِنَ الْمَيِّتِ وَتُخْرِجُ الْمَيِّتَ مِنَ الْحَىِّ‌ وَتَرْزُقُ مَنْ تَشَآءُ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ‏

*The verses of subservience (7:54–56):*

197. اِنَّ رَبَّكُمُ اللّٰهُ الَّذِىْ خَلَقَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضَ فِىْ سِتَّةِ اَيَّامٍ ثُمَّ اسْتَوٰى عَلَى الْعَرْشِ يُغْشِى الَّيْلَ النَّهَارَ يَطْلُبُهٗ حَثِيْثًا ۙ وَّالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ وَالنُّجُوْمَ مُسَخَّرٰتٍۢ بِاَمْرِهٖ ؕ اَلَا لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالْاَمْرُ‌ ؕ تَبٰرَكَ اللّٰهُ رَبُّ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ‏ اُدْعُوْا رَبَّكُمْ تَضَرُّعًا وَّخُفْيَةً‌ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِيْنَ‌ ۚ‏ وَلَا تُفْسِدُوْا فِى الْاَرْضِ بَعْدَ اِصْلَاحِهَا وَادْعُوْهُ خَوْفًا وَّطَمَعًا‌ ؕ اِنَّ رَحْمَتَ اللّٰهِ قَرِيْبٌ مِّنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ‏

*Then say these verses (37:180–182) three times:*

198. سُبْحَانَ رَبِّكَ رَبِّ ٱلْعِزَّةِ عَمَّا يَصِفُونَ\
   *subhana rabbika rabbi al-\`izzati \`amma yasifuna*\
   Glory be to your Lord, the Lord of Honor, above what they describe.

   *wa salamun \`ala almursalina*\
   And peace be on the messengers.

200. وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ.\
   *walhamdu lillahi rabbi al\`alamina*\
   And all praise is due to Allah, the Lord of the worlds.

*From al-Sahifa al-Ridawiyya, a supplication for sustenance:*

201. يَا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ حَوَائِجَ السَّائِلِينَ، وَيَعْلَمُ ضَمِيرَ الصَّامِتِينَ\

   *Wa likulli sāmitin minka ‘ilmun bātinun muhīt*\
   And for every silent one You have a hidden, encompassing knowledge

204. أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَوَاعِيدِكَ الصَّادِقَةِ، وَأَيَادِيكَ الْفَاضِلَةِ، وَرَحْمَتِكَ الْوَاسِعَةِ\

   *Wa a‘tinī fīmā tarzuqunī al‘āfiyata, birahmatika yā arhama arrāhimīn*\

*Imam al-Ridha (a) taught this for times of weakness, trouble or weariness with misfortune. Go into prostration, put first your right cheek and then your left cheek on the ground, and each time say:*

209. يَا مُذِلَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيْدٍ يَا مُعِزَّ كُلِّ ذَلِيْلٍ قَدْ وَ حَقِّكَ بَلَغَ مَـجْهُوْدِيْ فَصَلِّ عَلٰى مُـحَمَّدٍ وَ اٰلِهٖ وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّيْ.\
   *yaa mozilla kulle jabbaarin a’needin yaa o-i’zza kulle zaleelin qad wa haqqeqa balagha majhoodee fa-salle a’laa mohammadin wa aalehi wa farrij a’nnee.*\
   O Humiliator of all tyrants! O Dignifier of all humble ones! I, swearing by You, have exerted all efforts; so, send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household and relieve me.

*Imam al-Ridha (a) narrated from the Prophet (s): whoever wants his deeds to weigh heavy on the scales should say this, in thanks for Allah's blessings:*

210. سُبْحَانَ اللهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلّٰهِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّٰهِ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلّٰهِ\
   *Subhāna-llāhi kamā yanbaghī lillāh, wa-l-hamdu lillāhi kamā yanbaghī lillāh*\

211. وَلَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللهُ كَمَا يَنْبَغِي لِلّٰهِ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ\
   *Wa lā ilāha illā-llāhu kamā yanbaghī lillāh, wa lā hawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh*\
   There is no god but Allah as is fitting for Allah, and there is no power nor strength except with Allah

   *Wa sallā-llāhu ‘alā jamī‘i al-mursalīna wa-n-nabiyyīna hattā yardhā-llāh*\
   And may Allah bless all the messengers and the prophets until Allah is pleased

*A supplication for difficult affairs, narrated from Imam al-Mahdi (a) in Tuhfat al-Ridawiyya, to be said after every obligatory prayer or at any time:*

214. يا مَنْ إِذا تَضايَقَتِ الْاُمُورُ فَتَحَ لَها باباً لَمْ تَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ الْأَوْهامُ ، صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ، وَافْتَحْ لِاُمُورِي الْمُتَضايِقَةِ باباً لَمْ يَذْهَبْ إِلَيْهِ وَهْمٌ يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ .\
   O' He when the affairs has become difficult He opens ways we didn't imagine, so send Your blessing on Muhammad and on the family of Muhammad, open ways out of my difficulties that I didn't imagine, O' the Most Merciful of the merciful.

*From Baqiyat al-Salihat: Allah said to the Prophet (s) that these words are the best means of seeking nearness to Him after the obligatory prayers:*

215. اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُمْسِ احَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ\

*Imam al-Sadiq (a) said: whoever says this ten times after the prayer, before moving his knees from their place, Allah erases many of his sins, and it is as if he had recited the whole Qur'an twelve times:*

242. اَشْهَدُ اَنْ لا اِلهَ اِلا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لا شَريكَ لَهُ اِلها واحِدا اَحَدا صَمَدا لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدا.\
   I bear witness that there is no god save Allah, One and Only and having no associate with Him (in Godhead); He is the One God,the Unique, the Besought of all, and He has taken to Himself neither a wife nor a son.

*Imam al-Sadiq (a) said the Archangel Gabriel taught this to the Prophet Yusuf (a) in prison, to say after each prayer:*

243. اَللّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ لى فَرَجا وَمَخْرَجا وَارْزُقْنى مِنْ حَيْثُ اَحْتَسِبُ وَمِنْ حَيْثُ لا اَحْتَسِبُ\
   O Allah, cause all my affairs to arrive at a relief and a way out and give me sustenance from whence I expect and from whence I do not expect.

*A man complained to the Prophet (s) of illness and poverty, and he taught him to say this after the obligatory prayers:*

244. تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَىِّ الَّذى لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلّهِ الَّذى لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَدا وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَريكٌ فِى الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِىُّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبيرا.\
   I put my trust in the Ever-living (Lord) Who never dies. All praise is due to Allah, Who has not taken a wife or a son and Who has not a partner in the kingdom, and Who has not a helper to save Him from disgrace; and magnify Him with all magnificence.

*Some narrations put this before it:*

245. لاحَوْلَ وَلاقُوَّةَ اِلاّ بِاللَّهِ.\
   There is neither might nor power except with Allah.

*Shaykh al-Mufid, in al-Muqni'a, gives this supplication for after every prayer:*

246. اَللّهُمَّ انْفَعْنا بِالْعِلْمِ وَزَيِّنّا بِالْحِلْمِ وَجَمِّلْنا بِالْعافِيَةِ وَكَرِّمْنا بِالتَّقْوى اِنَّ وَلِيِّىَ اللَّهُ الَّذى نَزَّلَ الْكِتابَ وَهُوَ يَتَوَلَّى الصّالِحينَ\
   O Allah, (please) make us benefit by knowledge, adorn us with forbearance, beautify us with wellbeing, and honor us with piety. Surely, my guardian is Allah, Who revealed the Book, and He guards the righteous ones.
