AN INVOCATION FOR ANXIETIES

Abu al-Qasim al-Taffisi narrated from Hamad b. Isa from Hariz b. Abd
Allah al-Sijistani from AbuAbd Allah al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that
Hariz said: 'I said: "O son of the Messenger of Allah, I experience
anxieties (al-baladi) in my breast and temptations (al-wasawis) in my
heart (al-fulad) so that I sometimes break off my prayer and become
confused in my recitation." Abu Abd Allah said: "And what about the
invocation of Amir al-Muminin, peace be upon him?" I replied: "O son
of the Messenger of Alla, teach [it to] me." He said: "When you
experience something of this, place your hand on it and say: 'In the
Name of Allah and by Allah. O Allah. You have blessed me with faith
and entrusted me with the QURAN, and bestowed on me fasting in the
month of Ramadan. Grant me mercy and acceptance and compassion and
forgiveness and all that You have conferred on me of blessings and
beneficence. O Compassionate, O Benefactor, O Everlasting,O Merciful,
Glory be to You,. I have no one but You, Glory be to You. I take
refuge in You after these expressions of esteem, from abasement. I ask
You to remove the sorrows from my heart.' Repeat this three times and
you will be cured of it, with the help of Allah, the Exalted. Then
bless the Prophet, blessings of Allah upon him, and mercy and
blessings upon his family."

the Prophet, blessings and peace be on him and his family, and said:
"O Messenger of Allah, I havea brother who has a complaint of the
belly." The Prophet replied: "Tellyour brother to take a drink of
honey with hot water." The man returned to him the next day and said:
"O Messenger of Allah, I gavehim the drink but he did not benefit from
it." The Messenger of Allah said: "Allah has said the truth, and the
belly of your brother has lied. Go, and give your brother the drink
of honey and invoke for him the sura al-Fatiha (1) seven times." When
the man is a hypocrite. Whosoever is such, the drink will not benefit
him."

belly. He instructed him to drink hot water and say: 'O Allah, O
Allah, O Allah, O Merciful, O Compassionate,O Lord of the lords, O God

Al-Sadiq told him: "Go, and put your hand on thepainful area and say
three times: Surely it is a Book Sublime. Falsehoodcomes not to it
from before it nor from behind it. A revelation from One All-wise,
All-laudable (41:41-2): You will be cured, Allah willing."
Abu Abd Allah, peace be upon him, said: 'There is not one among
sincere intention, while passing his hand over the area of the
illness, We send down of the QURAN, that which is a cure and a mercy

said: "When you complete your prayers, put your hand on the place of
prostration, stroke it, and say: What, did you think that We created
you only for sport, and that you would not be returned toUs? Then

Lord of the noble Throne. Whosoever calls upon another god with God,
whereof he no proof, his reckoning is with his Lord. Surely the
unbelievers shall not prosper. And say: My Lord, forgive and have
