Text:Supplication of Imam 'Ali (a) in the Mosque of Kufa

From wikishia
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. بِسْمِ اللَّـهِ الرَّ‌حْمَـٰنِ الرَّ‌حِيمِ
O Allah, I ask You for protection on the day when property will not avail, nor sons except he who comes with a heart free (from evil) (Qur'an 26:88) And I ask You for protection on the day when the unjust one will bite his hands saying: O would that I had taken a way with the messenger(Qur'an 25:27)


اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ لا يَنْفَعُ مالٌ وَ لا بَنُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَتَى اللَّهَ بِقَلْبٍ سَلِيمٍ، وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ يَعَضُّ الظَّالِمُ عَلى‏ يَدَيْهِ يَقُولُ يا لَيْتَنِي اتَّخَذْتُ مَعَ الرَّسُولِ سَبِيلًا.
And I ask You for protection on the day when the guilty shall be recognized by their marks so they shall be seized by the forelocks and the feet (Qur'an 55:41). And I ask You for protection on the day when a father shall not give any satisfaction for his son nor shall the child give any satisfaction for his father, Surely the promise of Allah is true (Qur'an 31:33)


وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ يُعْرَفُ الْمُجْرِمُونَ بِسِيماهُمْ فَيُؤْخَذُ بِالنَّواصِي وَ الْأَقْدامِ، وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ لا يَجْزِي والِدٌ عَنْ وَلَدِهِ وَ لا مَوْلُودٌ هُوَ جازٍ عَنْ والِدِهِ شَيْئاً، إِنَّ وَعْدَ اللَّهِ حَقٌّ
And I ask You for protection on the day when the unjust shall not benefit from their excuse and for them is curse and for them is the evil abode (Qur'an 40:52) And I ask You for protection on the day when no soul shall control anything for (another) soul and the command on that day shall be entirely Allah's (Qur'an 82:19)


وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ لا يَنْفَعُ الظَّالِمِينَ مَعْذِرَتُهُمْ وَ لَهُمُ اللَّعْنَةُ وَ لَهُمْ سُوءُ الدَّارِ، وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ لا تَمْلِكُ نَفْسٌ لِنَفْسٍ شَيْئاً وَ الْأَمْرُ يَوْمَئِذٍ لِلَّهِ
And I ask You for protection on the day when a man shall flee from his brother, and his mother, his father, his spouse, and his children, each one of them on that day will have a concern which will occupy him (Qur'an 80:34) And I ask You for protection on the day when the guilty will wish to redeem himself from the chastisement of that day by (sacrificing) his children, and the near of kin who gave him shelter and all those that are in the earth (wising) that this might deliver him by no means!


وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ يَفِرُّ الْمَرْءُ مِنْ أَخِيهِ، وَ أُمِّهِ وَ أَبِيهِ، وَ صاحِبَتِهِ وَ بَنِيهِ، لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ شَأْنٌ يُغْنِيهِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ الْأَمَانَ يَوْمَ يَوَدُّ الْمُجْرِمُ لَوْ يَفْتَدِي مِنْ عَذابِ يَوْمِئِذٍ بِبَنِيهِ، وَ صاحِبَتِهِ وَ أَخِيهِ، وَ فَصِيلَتِهِ الَّتِي تُؤْوِيهِ، وَ مَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ جَمِيعاً ثُمَّ يُنْجِيهِ، كَلَّا إِنَّها لَظى‏، نَزَّاعَةً لِلشَّوى‏.
