The best prayers on the night of the middle of Sha’ban according to the narration of Imam Sadiq (AS)

According to the cultural reporter of Tasnim news agency, the night of the middle of Sha’ban is considered one of the most virtuous nights of the year along with nights like Qadr night. Its importance is so much that sometimes in the hadiths it is placed on par with or rather complementing what happens on the night of Qadr. The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “… But the choice is between the two nights of Friday, and the half-night of Sha’baan, and the night of Qadr, and the night of Eid “; That is, the chosen nights of the year are Friday, the night of the middle of Sha’ban, Lailat al-Qadr and the two nights of Eid (Fitr and Qurban). (Al-Tafseer al-Mansoob to Imam al-Hasan al-Askari, peace be upon him, p.: 662) Ahl al-Bayt is revelation, peace be upon him; Among the useful supplications on this blessed night is the one narrated by Sheikh Kafami in Misbah on the authority of Abu Yahya about the virtue of the night of the middle of Sha’ban. He says that I asked my master, Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him), what are the best prayers in this night? He said: After you perform the Isha prayer, perform two rak’ahs of prayer, in the first rak’ah of praise and Surah Qul Ya Yayah Al-Kafiroon and In the second rakat, Hamad and Surah Tawheed should be recited. After the salam, the praises of Hazrat Zahra, peace be upon him, should be recited. And then he said that after that this prayer should be recited, which we will recite parts of in the following.

O God, there is no god but you, make me this night one of those who looked at him and showed him your mercy, heard his prayer and answered him, and knew his regret, so you accepted him and removed from his past mistakes and his great sin in the past. /p>

If we pay attention to this verse from the prayer of Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) on the night of the middle of Sha’ban, perhaps the whole day of this night will be granted to a believer. Sometimes when people are faced with many prayers, they may utter something that is not in their heart or they do not have the knowledge of that prayer, but sometimes a part of a prayer that is recited with knowledge and from the bottom of the heart can lead to good paths. Man opens.

• In this part of the prayer, the Imam makes several requests for the night of the middle of Sha’ban: O God
  1. Make me this night one of those whom you looked towards and gave to your mercy; 2. And you heard his prayer and answered it, and you heard his prayer and answered it.
  /> 4. And from his past mistakes and his great sin, “and transgressed against his predecessor’s sin and greatness”

in the first paragraph We ask God to look at us with mercy on the first night of the month of Sha’ban, and mercy is from the root of “mercy” which has two branches of mercy and mercy, and it is for a time when a person does not deserve a gift from God, but God gives him his blessings. provides This attribute of God is eternal and rather He has filled all the worlds, as it says in verse 156 of Surah Al-A’raf “… And my mercy is all-powerful >“; It means that my mercy encompasses all things. Or in Kamil’s prayer we read from the words of Amir al-Mu’minin, peace be upon him: That is, God, I am asking you through the mercy that encompasses everything. Now we ask God to deal with His mercy on this night.

Next, we ask God to hear and answer our prayers. Of course, it doesn’t mean that God needs an ear to hear, but it is an interpretation for divine seekers that God refers to them and since He is All-Hearing, He will answer the prayer of His servant, which is what God commanded in verse 60 of Surah Ghafir, which said:And your Lord said to me, I will answer you…”; That is, your Lord says call me, I will answer you.
