NAJMUS SAAQIB Incident Nineteen: Sayyid Ibne Taaoos heard the Munajaat of Imam (a.s.)

Reading Time: 3 minutes
It is mentioned in the addenda of the book of Aneesul Aabedeen:
It is narrated from Sayyid Ibne Taaoos that he heard at the time of dawn in the
holy Sardab that Imam Zamana (a.s.) was reciting as follows:
اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنَّ شِيْعَتَنَا
خُلِقَتْ مِنْ شُعَاعِ اَنْوَارِنَا وَ بَقِيَّةِ طِينَتِنَا وَ قَدْ فَعَلُوْا
ذُنُوبًا كَثِيرَةً اتِّكَالًا عَلٰى حُبِّنَا وَ وَلَايَتِنَا فَاِنْ كَانَتْ
ذُنُوبُهُمْ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَهُمْ فَاصْفَحْ عَنْهُمْ فَقَدْ رَضِيْنَا وَ مَا
كَانَ مِنْهَا فِيْمَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَاَصْلِحْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ قَاصَّ بِهَا عَنْ
خُمُسِنَا وَ اَدْخِلْهُمُ الْجَنَّةَ وَ زَحْزِحْهُمْ عَنِ النَّارِ وَ لَا
تَجْمَعْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَ بَيْنَ اَعْدَائِنَا فِي سَخَطِكِ
“O Allah, our Shia are created from the rays of our effulgence
and from the leftovers of our essence. And they have sinned excessively relying
on our love and Wilayat. Thus, if their sins are between You and them; erase
them as they have pleased us. And what is between them effect reconciliation
among them and make amends through our Khums! And admit them to Paradise! And deliver them from Hell fire and do not join
them with our enemies in Your fury.[1]

Doubt regarding the report of “Indeed our
Shia are from us”

The author says: The text of this supplication is
narrated differently in books of some later scholars; among them being Allamah
Majlisi. In my treatise of Jannatul Mawa, I have expressed doubt as it
is not present in the writings of the original reporter of this incident and
books of later scholars quoting directly from him and books of Allamah Majlisi
and traditions scholars contemporary to him. On the contrary, there, I have
suggested the possibility that it could have been derived from the statements
of Hafiz Shaykh Rajab Bursi in Mashaarequl Anwaar as after narrating the
above mentioned incident from Muhajj, he says: Our subjects; although
his Shia are from him only and they are blessed by him; as His Eminence says:
O Allah, indeed our Shia are from us and supplementary to
us. And they have made mistakes and had shortcomings and relying on their love (for
us) committed sins. But they referred only to us and relied only on us because
the slave refers to his master and servants seek refuge from the master. O
Allah, forgive the sins, which they committed relying on our love and being
emboldened by our Wilayat and relying on our intercession and do not expose
their sins to our enemies and make us guardians of their affairs in the
hereafter like You made us guardians of their affairs in the world and if their
sins lower their acts, raise up their balance of deeds through our Wilayat and
raise up their degrees.

These
words by the author of Mashaarequl Anwaar, are explanation of his
thoughts for that discourse of the Imam similar in meaning of the above words
and his age was near to the age of the Sayyid and since these lines are famous
from the Sayyid, he was the first to quote them due to more desire on this
meaning and his awareness for testimony on them, although this attribution is
not unlikely for the status of the Sayyid; as is known from the previous
incident and will be mentioned in some of his words in chapter eight; whoever
likes may refer to them
