Al-Ḥazīn Supplication (Arabic:دعاء الحَزین) is a supplication attributed to Imam al-Sajjad (a), recommended to be recited after the night prayer.[1] In this supplication, messages such as regretting one's wrongdoing and sins against God's Forgiveness and Graciousness, fear of loneliness after death and asking for God's forgiveness are mentioned.[2] Some researchers believe that the messages in this supplication reflect some fundamental concepts in the Shi'a worldview, such as human sadness and suffering, loneliness and giving up hope in other people, and seeking refuge in God.[3]

According to al-Hasan b. al-Fadl al-Tabrisi, a hadith scholar of sixth/twelfth century, Imam al-Sajjad (a) recited this supplication after his night prayer,[4] but al-Shaykh al-Tusi (d. 460//1067) did not mention the attribution of this supplication to Imam al-Sajjad (a) in Misbah al-mutahajjid.[5] This supplication is not mentioned in Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, and according to some researchers, it is not mentioned in any of the mustardaks of Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya written before fourteenth/twentieth century.[6]

Shaykh al-Baha'i has explained parts of this supplication in Miftah al-falah in the instructions of Watr prayer.[7] Also, Sayyid Abbas Shushtari Lucknowi Hindi (d. 1306/1888-9) has mentioned a supplication adopted from the mentioned du'a in his poems.[8]
