C;�$ n�ع{ The Supplication of Kumail

Kumayl Ibn Ziyad Nakha'i was a confidant

amongst the companions of Amir al Muminin,

Imam Ali Ibn Abi Talib (A.S.) and this sublime

Du'a was first heard from the beautiful, though

anguished, voice of Imam Ali. According to Allama

Majlisi (on whom be Allah's Mercy) Kumayl had

attended an assembly in the Mosque at Basra

which was addressed by Imam Ali in the course of

which the night of the 15th of Shaban was

mentioned. Imam Ali said-"Whosoever keeps

awake in devoutness on this night and recites the

Du'a of Prophet Khizr, undoubtedly that person's

supplication will be responded to and granted.

When the assembly at the Mosque had dispersed,

Kumayl called at the house where Imam Ali was

staying, and requested him to acquaint him with

Prophet Khizr's "Du'a". Imam Ali asked Kumayl to

sit down, record and memorise the "Du'a" which

Imam Ali dictated to Kumayl. Imam Ali then

advised Kumayl to recite this "Du'a" on the eve of

(i.e. evening preceding) every Friday, or once a

month or at least once in every year so that,

added Imam Ali, "Allah may protect You from the

evils of the enemies and the plots contrived by

impostors. O' Kumayl! in consideration of Your

companionship and understanding, I grant You

this honour of entrusting this "Du'a" to You."

DUA'A E TAWASSUL

Shaykh Tusi says, in his book Misbah, that imam

Hassan bin Ali Al Askari wrote this dua'a for Abu

Muhammad who requested him to teach him the

proper way of reciting salawat. Allama Majlisi (a.r.)

has mentioned this dua'a on the authority of Ibn

babawayh who confidently says that there is no

difficulty or problem that this dua'a does not solve.

The merciful Allah is beseeched in the name of

and for the sake of the Holy prophet and his Ahl ul

Bayt. It is known as "quick-fulfillment-of-all-

legitimate-desires" dua'a.
