Dua for World and Hereafter

Reading Time: 2 minutes

It has been reported on the authority of Imam Baqer (AS): A man known as Chabih Hazli went to Holy Prophet (SAW) saying: O Messenger of Allah! I am an old man having no power of work.  I am use to prayer, fast, Hajj and Jihad.  Teach me a word whereby God gives me a benefit and it is easy to do too O Messenger of Allah!  The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: Say it again.  That man repeated it three times.  The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: There is no tree or rock around you unless they have wept for you out of mercy.  Whenever you have completed the morning prayer, say: Glory be to Allah, the Great, and praise is due to Him, there is neither might or power save with God, the Exalted, the Great, whereby God will protect you against blindness, insanity, leprosy, destitution and weakness.   That man said: O Messenger of Allah! This is good for the world.  What is good for the Hereafter?  The Holy Prophet said: After every prayer, say: *       * “O God! Guide me on Your side and bestow upon me Your special Grace and spread Your Mercy over me and send down Your blessings on me.”     That man received the order and kept on reciting it.  A man said to Aboo Abbass: How seriously your friend recited the Dua.  The Holy Prophet (SAW) said: If this man can bring this act with him on the Day of Judgment, and does not abandon it intentionally, eight gates of paradise will be opened to him and from every gate he can enter it.”   Reference : Oddatud Daee
