- Recitation of the Du'a: "Allāhumma innī as'alu-ka bi-ḥaqqi al-mawlūdi fī hādhā al-yawm":
- O Allah, I ask You by the right of the one born on this day, whose martyrdom was promised to him before his cry and birth. The heavens and everything within them, the earth and everything upon it, wept for him even before his feet touched the earth. He is the slain one of sorrow, the master of the family, supported by victory on the day of return, and compensated by his martyrdom. The Imams will come from his lineage, healing will be found in his soil, and he will achieve victory in his return. The successors from his progeny will come after their Qa’im and during his occultation, until they fulfill the vows, seek revenge, please the Almighty, and become the best supporters of the truth. Peace be upon them, with the alternation of night and day.
- Arabic: اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُکَ بِحَقِّ الْمَوْلُودِ فى هذَا الْیَوْمِ الْمَوْعُودِ بِشَهادَتِهِ قَبْلَ اْستِهْلالِهِ وَ وِلادَتِهِ بَکَتْهُ السَّماَّء ُوَ مَنْ فیها وَالاْرْضُ وَ مَنْ عَلَیْها وَ لَمّا یَُطَاْ لابَتَیْها قَتیلِ الْعَبْرَةِ وَ سَیِّدِ الاُْسْرَةِ الْمَمْدُودِ بِالنُّصْرَةِ یَوْمَ الْکَرَّةِ الْمُعَوَّضِ مِنْ قَتْلِهِ اَنَّ الاْئِمَّةَ مِنْ نَسْلِهِ وَالشِّفاَءَ فى تُرْبَتِهِ والْفَوْزَ مَعَهُ فى اَوْبَتِهِ والاْوصِیاَءَ مِنْ عِتْرَتِهِ بَعْدَ قاَئِمِهِمْ وَ غَیْبَتِهِ حَتّى یُدْرِکُوا الاْوْتارَ وَ یَثْاَروُا الثّارَ وَ یُرْضُوا الْجَبّارَ وَ یَکُونُوا خَیْرَ اَنْصارٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَیْهِمْ مَعَ اْختِلافِ اللیلِ وَالنَّهارِ.
- O Allah, by their right, I seek Your intercession and ask You as one who has sinned and acknowledges his wrongdoings, having fallen short in his duties of today and yesterday, seeking from You protection until the moment of his burial. O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, gather us with them in their group, and grant us a place of honor and abode with them in the house of dignity. O Allah, just as You have honored us with the recognition of him, honor us with closeness to him, grant us his companionship and his precedence, and make us among those who submit to his command and frequently send blessings upon him when his name is mentioned, and upon all of his successors and the purified members of his family, those who are sustained by You, the twelve bright stars and the proofs (Hujjat) to all of humanity.
- Arabic: اَللّهُمَّ فَبِحَقِّهِمْ اِلَیْکَ اَتَوَسَّلُ وَ اَسْئَلُ سُؤالَ مُقْتَرِفٍ مُعْتَرِفٍ مُسیَئٍ اِلى نَفْسِهِ مِمَّا فَرَّطَ فى یَوْمِهِ وَ اَمْسِهِ یَسْئَلُکَ الْعِصْمَةَ اِلى مَحَلِّ رَمْسِهِ. اَللّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عِتْرَتِهِ وَاحْشُرْنا فى زُمْرَتِهِ وَ بَوِّئْنا مَعَهُ دارَ الْکَرامَةِ وَ مَحَلَّ الاِقامَةِ. اَللّهُمَّ وَ کَما اَکْرَمْتَنا بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ فَاَکْرِمْنا بِزُلْفَتِهِ وَارْزُقْنا مُرافَقَتَهُ وَ سابِقَتَهُ وَاجْعَلْنا مِمَّنْ یُسَلِّمُ لاِمْرِهِ وَ یُکْثِرُ الصَّلوةَ عَلَیْهِ عِنْدَ ذِکْرِهِ وَ عَلى جَمیعِ اَوْصِیاَئِهِ وَ اَهْلِ اَصْفِیاَئِهِ الْمَمْدُودین مِنْکَ بِالْعَدَدِ الاِْثْنَىْ عَشَرَ النُّجُومِ الزُّهَرِ وَالْحُجَجِ عَلى جَمیعِ الْبَشَرِ. اَللّهُمَّ وَهَبْ لَنا فى هذَا الْیَوْمِ خَیْرَ مَوْهِبَةٍ وَ اَنْجِحْ لَنا فیهِ کُلَّ طَلِبَةٍ کَما وَ هَبْتَ الْحُسَیْنَ لِمُحَمَّدٍ جَدِّهِ وَ عاذَ فُطْرُسُ بِمَهْدِهِ فَنَحْنُ عائِذُونَ بِقَبْرِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ نَشْهَدُ تُرْبَتَهُ وَننْتَظِرُ اَوْبَتَهُ آمینَ رَبَّ الْعالَمینَ.
- Reading the Du'a: "Allāhumma anta muta‘ālī al-makān":[13]
- O Allah, You are exalted above all places, the Most Great in majesty, the Most Powerful in dominion, the Most Severe in control, independent of the creation, vast in Your grandeur, able to do whatever You will, near in mercy, true in Your promises, generous in blessings, excellent in trial, near when You are called upon, encompassing in Your creation, accepting of repentance from those who return to You, capable of what You will, able to reach what is sought, appreciative when thanked, remembered when remembered. I call upon You in my need and turn to You in my poverty, I seek refuge in You in my fear, and I cry to You in my distress, I seek Your help in my weakness, and I place my trust in You as sufficient. Judge between us and our people with truth, for they have deceived us, betrayed us, forsaken us, and wronged us. We are the progeny of Your Prophet and the children of Your Beloved Muhammad, son of Abdullah, whom You chose for the mission and entrusted with Your revelation. So grant us relief and a way out of our situation, through Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
- Arabic: اَللّهُمَّ اَنْتَ مُتَعالِى الْمَکانِ عَظیمُ الْجَبَرُوتِ شَدیدُ الِمحالِ غَنِىٌّ عنِ الْخَلایِقِ عَریضُ الْکِبْرِیاَءِ قادِرٌ عَلى ما تَشاَءُ قَریبُ الرَّحْمَةِ صادِقُ الْوَعْدِ سابِغُ النِّعْمَةِ حَسَنُ الْبَلاَّءِ قَریبٌ إذا دُعیتَ مُحیطٌ بِما خَلَقْتَ قابِلُ التَّوبَةِ لِمَنْ تابَ اِلَیْکَ قادِرٌ عَلى ما اَرَدْتَ وَ مُدْرِکٌ ما طَلَبْتَ وَ شَکُورٌ اِذا شُکِرْتَ وَ ذَکُورٌ اِذا ذُکِرْتَ اَدْعُوکَ مُحْتاجاً وَ اَرْغَبُ اِلَیْکَ فَقیراً وَ اَفْزَعُ اِلَیْکَ خاَئِفاً وَ اَبْکى اِلَیْکَ مَکْرُوباً وَ اَسْتَعینُ بِکَ ضَعیفاً وَ اَتوَکَّلُ عَلَیْکَ کافِیاً اُحْکُمْ بَیْنَنا وَ بَیْنَ قَوْمِنا (بِالْحَقِّ) فَاِنَّهُمْ غَرُّونا وَ خَدَعُونا وَ خَذَلُونا وَ غَدَرُوابِنا وَ قَتَلُونا و نَحْنُ عِتْرَةُ نَبِیِّکَ وَ وَُلَْدُ حَبیبِکَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِاللهِ الَّذِى اصطَفَیْتَهُ بِالرِّسالَةِ وَائْتَمَنْتَهُ عَلى وَحْیِکَ فَاجْعَلْ لَنا مِنْ اَمْرِنا فَرَجاً وَ مَخْرَجاً بِرَحْمَتِکَ یا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمینَ.

- O Allah, grant us from Your fear that which will prevent us from disobeying You, and from Your obedience that which will lead us to Your pleasure, and from certainty that which will make the hardships of this world easy for us to bear. O Allah, grant us the benefit of our hearing, sight, and strength as long as You keep us alive and make them the legacy we leave behind. And grant us victory over those who have wronged us, and support us against those who oppose us. Please do not make our trials in our faith, nor make this world our greatest concern or the limit of our knowledge. And do not place over us one who does not have mercy on us. Please have mercy on us, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
- Arabic: اَللَّهُمَّ اقْسِمْ لَنَا مِنْ خَشْيَتِكَ مَا يَحُولُ بَيْنَنَا وَ بَيْنَ مَعْصِيَتِكَ وَ مِنْ طَاعَتِكَ مَا تُبَلِّغُنَا بِهِ رِضْوَانَكَ وَ مِنَ الْيَقِينِ مَا يَهُونُ عَلَيْنَا بِهِ مُصِيبَاتُ الدُّنْيَا اللهُمَّ أَمْتِعْنَا بِأَسْمَاعِنَا وَ أَبْصَارِنَا وَ قُوَّتِنَا مَا أَحْيَيْتَنَا وَ اجْعَلْهُ الْوَارِثَ مِنَّا وَ اجْعَلْ ثَارَنَا عَلَى مَنْ ظَلَمَنَا وَ انْصُرْنَا عَلَى مَنْ عَادَانَا وَ لاتَجْعَلْ مُصِيبَتَنَا فِي دِينِنَا وَ لاتَجْعَلِ الدُّنْيَا أَكْبَرَ هَمِّنَا وَ لامَبْلَغَ عِلْمِنَا وَ لاتُسَلِّطْ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ لايَرْحَمُنَا بِرَحْمَتِكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

- Supplication of the last night of Sha'ban:
- O Allah, this blessed month in which the Qur’an was revealed, a guidance for the people, and clear signs of guidance and a distinction between truth and falsehood, has arrived. Please keep us safe in it and preserve it for us. Accept it from us in ease and complete safety. O You Who accepts little and appreciates much, accept from me the little I offer. O Allah, I ask You to guide me to every good, and to place a barrier between me and everything You disapprove of. O Most Merciful of the merciful, O You Who pardoned me for the hidden wrongdoings I committed, and did not rebuke me for my sins, I ask for Your forgiveness, Your forgiveness, Your forgiveness, O Generous One. O Allah, You admonished me, but I did not take heed. You warned me against Your forbidden things, yet I did not stop. So what excuse do I have? Forgive me, O Generous One. I ask for Your forgiveness, Your forgiveness.
- Arabic: اَللّهُمَّ اِنَّ هذَا الشَّهْرَ الْمُبارَکَ الَّذى اُنْزِلَ فیهِ الْقُرآنُ وَ جُعِلَ هُدىً لِلنّاسِ وَ بَیِّناتٍ مِنَ الْهُدى وَالْفُرْقانِ قَدْ حَضَرَ فَسَلِّمْنا فیهِ وَ سَلِّمْهُ لَنا وَ تَسَلَّمْهُ مِنّا فى یُسْرٍ مِنْکَ وَ عافِیَةٍ یا مَنْ اَخَذَ الْقَلیلَ وَ شَکَرَ الْکَثیرَ اِقْبَلْ مِنِّى الْیَسیرَ اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُکَ اَنْ تَجْعَلَ لى اِلى کُلِّ خَیْرٍ سَبیلاً وَ مِنْ کُلِّ ما لاتُحِبُّ مانِعاً یا اَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمینَ یا مَنْ عَفا عَنّى وَ عَمّا خَلَوْتُ بِهِ مِنَ السَّیِّئاتِ یا مَنْ لَمْ یُؤاخِذْنى بِارْتِکابِ الْمَعاصى عَفْوَکَ عَفْوَکَ عَفْوَکَ یاکَریمُ اِلهى وَ عَظْتَنى فَلَمْ اَتَّعِظْ وَ زَجَرْتَنى عَنْ مَحارِمِکَ فلَمْ اَنْزَجِرْ فَما عُذْرى فَاعْفُ عَنّى یا کَریمُ عَفْوَکَ عَفْوَکَ
- O Allah! I ask You for ease at the time of death and forgiveness during the reckoning. My sins have become great, so it is fitting that Your pardon be generous. O You Who are the most protective, and worthy of forgiveness, I ask for Your forgiveness, Your forgiveness. O Allah! I am Your servant, the son of Your servant, the son of Your maidservant. I am weak and in need of Your mercy. You are the one who brings wealth and blessings to Your servants, the Mighty and Able. You have counted the deeds of Your servants and distributed their provisions. You have made their tongues and colors different, a creation after another. Your servants do not know the extent of Your knowledge, and they cannot measure Your greatness. We are all in need of Your mercy. Turn not Your face away from me, and make me, in action, desire, fate, and destiny, among the deserving of Your servants.
- Arabic: اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُکَ الرّاحَةَ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَالْعَفْوَ عِنْدَ الْحِسابِ عَظُمَ الذَّنْبُ مِنْ عَبدِکَ فَلْیَحْسُنِ التَّجاوُزُ مِنْ عِنْدِکَ یااَهْلَ التَّقْوى وَ یا اَهْلَ الْمَغْفِرَةِ عَفْوَکَ عَفْوَکَ اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى عَبْدُکَ بْنُ عَبْدِکَ بْنُ اَمَتِکَ ضَعیْفٌ فَقیرٌ اِلى رَحْمَتِکَ وَ اَنْتَ مُنْزِلُ الْغِنى والْبَرَکَةِ عَلَى الْعِبادِ قاهِرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ اَحْصَیْتَ اَعمالَهُمْ وَ قَسَمْتَ اَرْزاقَهُمْ وَ جَعَلْتَهُمْ مُخْتَلِفَةً اَلْسِنَتُهُمْ وَ اَلْوانُهُمْ خَلْقاً مِنْ بَعْدِ خَلْقٍ وَ لایَعْلَمُ الْعِبادُ عِلْمَکَ وَ لایَقْدِرُ الْعِبادُ قَدْرَکَ وَکُلُّنا فَقیرٌ اِلى رَحْمَتِکَ فَلا تَصْرِفْ عَنّى وَجْهَکَ وَاجْعَلْنى مِنْ صالِحى خَلْقِکَ فِى الْعَمَلِ وَالاْمَلِ وَالْقَضاَءِ وَالْقَدَرِ
- O Allah, keep me alive in the best of states, and cause me to die the best of deaths, based on the love for Your friends, and enmity with Your enemies, a desire for You, and fear of Your presence, humility, loyalty, and submission at Your threshold, belief in Your Book, and following the way of Your Messenger. O Allah, whatever is in my heart—whether doubt, denial, despair, vain happiness, arrogance, rebellion, self-centeredness, hypocrisy, desire for fame, sowing discord, duplicity, disbelief, disobedience, sin, boastfulness, or anything that is displeasing to You—I ask You, my Lord, to transform them into faith in Your promise, fulfillment of Your covenant, contentment with Your decree, piety in this world, longing for what is with You, good choice, peace, and sincere repentance. I ask all of this from You, O Lord of all the worlds. O my God, by Your forbearance, disobedience occurs, and by Your generosity and kindness, obedience is achieved, as if You have never been disobeyed. I and those who do not disobey You are the inhabitants of Your earth. Be generous to us with Your grace and return to us with goodness, O Most Merciful of the merciful. And may the blessings of Allah be upon Muhammad and his family, a continuous prayer that cannot be counted, nor measured, and whose worth is known only to You, O Most Merciful of the merciful.

- The Du'a Ilahi ta'aradha laka fi hadha l-layl al-muta'aridhun:
- My Lord, in this night, those who are seeking Your mercy have turned to You, and those who are aiming for You have directed their hearts toward You. Those who hope for Your grace and goodness are eagerly asking from You. In this night, there are breaths of Your mercy, rewards, gifts, and blessings which You bestow upon whom You will from Your servants and withhold from whom Your attention has not reached. Here I am, Your humble servant, poor and in need of You, hoping for Your grace and kindness. If, O my Master, You have bestowed Your favor upon anyone of Your creation in this night and granted them the bounty of Your mercy, then send blessings upon Muhammad and his pure, righteous, and noble family, and bestow upon me Your grace and kindness, O Lord of all the worlds. May Allah’s peace and blessings be upon Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets, and his pure family. Indeed, Allah is Praiseworthy, Glorious. O Allah, I call upon You as You have commanded, so answer me as You have promised. Indeed, You do not break Your promise.
