"Aliyat al-Madamin supplication" is a title Shaykh Abbas Qummi gave it in his Mafatih al-jinan and since it contains "excellent messages", it has become famous with this title. It begins with the sentence "O God, I visited this Imam (a), acknowledging his imamate, believing in the obligation of his obedience." It contains messages about the position of Imams (a) and mentions the requests of their visitors.
