Dua Kumayl

Source: Miṣbāḥ al-Mutahajjid by Shaykh al-Ṭūsī (d. 460 AH)
The author of Mafatih al-Jinan, Shaykh Abbas al-Qummi (d. 1941 CE) says about this supplication: “This is one of the famous supplications. ʿAllāma al-Majlisī says that it is the best of all supplications, which ʾAmīr al-Muʾminīn Ali (a.s) taught to Kumayl, who was one of his select disciples. It is recited during nights of the middle of Sha'ban and every Thursday evening. It is useful for protecting against the evil of enemies, opening the gate of one's daily bread, and forgiving sins.”

wa ḥabasanī ʿan nafʿī buʿdu āmālī
And my far-fetched hopes have held me back from my gain
57
وَخَدَعَتْنِي الدُّنْيَا بِغُرُورِهَا وَنَفْسِي بِجِنَايَتِهَا (بِخِيَانَتِهَا) وَمِطَاِلي

walā tafḍaḥnī bi-ḵafīyyi mā aṭṭalaʿta ʿalayhi min sirrī
And not to disgrace me through the hidden things You know of my secrets

My God and my Lord! Have I any but You from whom to ask removal of my affliction and regard for my affairs!
67
إِلَهِي وَمَوْلايَ أَجْرَيْتَ عَلَيَّ حُكْمًا اتَّبَعْتُ فِيهِ هَوَى نَفْسِي،
ilāhī wa mawlāy 'ajrayta 'alayya ḥukman ittabaʿtu fīhi hawā nafsī
My God and my Protector! You put into effect through me a decree in which I followed the caprice of my own soul
68
وَلَمْ أَحْتَرِسْ فِيهِ مِن تَزْيِيْنِ عَدُوِّي،
walam ahtaris feehi min tazyini ʿaduwwi
And did not remain wary of adorning my enemy.
69
فَغَرَّنِي بِمَا أَهْوَى وَأَسْعَدَهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ القَضَاءُ
fagharreni bima ahwā waasʿadahu ʿalā dhālika al-qadāʾ
So he deluded me through my soul's caprice and therein destiny favoured him

fatajaawaztu bimaa jaraa `alayya min dhaalika ba`da hudoodika
So, in what was put into effect through me in that situation, I transgressed some of Your statutes
71
وَخَالَفْتُ بَعْضَ أَوَامِرِكَ
wa-khalaf-tu baʿḍa awaamirika
And disobeyed some of Your commands.
72
فَلَكَ الْحُجَّةُ عَلَيَّ فِي جَمِيعِ ذَلِكَ
falaka al-ḥujjatu ʿalayya fī jamiʿi dhalika
So Yours is the argument against me in all of that
73
وَلا حُجَّةَ لِي فِيمَا جَرَى عَلَيَّ فِيهِ قَضَاؤُكَ،
wa lā ḥujjata lī fīmā jarā ʿalayya fīhi qaḍāʾuka
I have no argument in what Your destiny put into effect through me therein
74
وَأَلْزَمَنِي حُكْمُكَ وَبَلاؤُكَ
wa alzamani hukmuka wa balauka
nor in what Your decree and Your tribulation imposed upon me.
75
وَقَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ يَا إِلَهِي بَعْدَ تَقْصِيرِي وَإِسْرَافِي عَلَى نَفْسِي
waqad ataytuka ya ilahi baʿda taqṣīrī wa isrāfī ʿalā nafsī

wa lā mafzaʿan atawajjah ilayhi fī amrī
Nor any place of escape to which I may turn in my affairs,

habnī labtidāʾi karamika wa sāilfi birrika bī
Bestow upon me for the sake of Your having given rise [to me] with generosity and Your previous goodness to me!

wa baʿda ṣidqi iʿtirāfī wa duʿāʾī khāḍiʿan li rubūbiyyatika
And after the sincerity of my confession and my supplication, humble before Your lordship?

hayhāta ʾanta ʾakramu min ʾan tuḍayyaʿa man rabbaytahu

yā karīmu, yā rabbī
O All-generous! My Lord,
107
وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ ضَعْفِي عَنْ قَلِيلٍ مِّن بَلآءِ الدُّنْيَا وَعُقُوبَاتِهَا،
wa anta taʿlamu ḍaʿfī ʿan qalīlin min balāʾi ad-dunyā wa ʿuqūbātihā
And You know my weakness before a little of this world's tribulations and punishments,
108
وَمَا يَجْرِي فِيهَا مِنَ الْمَكَارِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا
wa mā yajrī fīhā min al-makārihi ʿalā ahlihā
And before those ordeals which befall its inhabitants,
109
عَلَى أَنَّ ذَلِكَ بَلآءٌ وَّمَكْرُوهٌ قَلِيلٌ مَّكْثُهُ، يَسِيرٌ بَقَآؤُهُ، قَصِيرٌ مُّدَّتُهُ
ʿalā anna dhālika balāʾun wa makrūhun qalīlun makhthuhu, yasīrun baqāʾuhu, qasīrun mudd
Even though it is a tribulation and ordeal whose stay is short, whose subsistence is but little and, whose period is but fleeting.
110
فَكَيْفَ احْتِمَاِلي لِبَلآءِ الآخِرَةِ وَجَلِيلِ وُقُوعِ الْمَكَارِهِ فِيهَا!
fakaifa ihtimālī libalāʾ al-ākhirah wa jalīl waqūʿi al-makārihi fīhā!
So how can I endure the tribulations of the next world and the great ordeals that occur within it?
111
وَهُوَ بَلآءٌ تَطُولُ مُدَّتُهُ، وَيَدُومُ مَقَامُهُ، وَلا يُخَفَّفُ عَنْ أَهْلِهِ
wa huwa balāʾun taṭūlu muddatuhu, wa yadūmu maqāmuhu, wa lā yukhaffafu ʿan ahlihi
For it is a tribulation whose period is long, whose station endures and whose sufferers are given no respite,
112
لِأَنَّهُ لا يَكُونُ إِلا عَنْ غَضَبِكَ وَانْتِقَامِكَ وَسَخَطِكَ
li'annahu la yakun illa 'an ghadabika wa intiqamika wa sakhatika
Since it only occurs as a result of Your wrath, Your vengeance and Your anger,
113
وَهَذَا مَا لا تَقُومُ لَهُ السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالأَرْضُ
wa-hādhā mā lā taqūmu lahū as-samāwātu wal-arḍu
And these cannot be withstood by the heavens and the earth.
114
يَا سَيِّدِي فَكَيْفَ بِي
yā sayyidī fakayfa bī
O Master, so what about me?!
115
وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ الضَّعِيفُ الذَّلِيلُ الْحَقِيرُ الْمِسْكِينُ الْمُسْتَكِينُ
wa ana ʿabduka al-ḍaʿīfu al-ẓalīlu al-ḥaqīru al-miskīnu al-mustakīnu.
For I am Your weak, lowly, base, wretched and miserable slave.
116
يَا إِلَهِي وَرَبِّي وَسَيِّدِي وَمَوْلايَ
yā ʾilāhī wa rabbī wa sayyidī wa mawlāya
My God! My Lord! My Master! My Protector!
117
لِأَيِّ الأُمُورِ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو
li-ayyi al-umoori ilayka ashku
For which things would I complain to You?
118
وَلِمَا مِنْهَا أَضِجُّ وَأَبْكِي
walimā minhā 'aḍijju wa'abkī
And for which of them would I lament and weep?
119
لِأَلِيمِ الْعَذَابِ وَشِدَّتِهِ!
li-alīmil-ʿaẓābi wa-shiddatih
For the pain and severity of chastisement?
120
أَمْ لِطُولِ الْبَلآءِ وَمُدَّتِهِ!
am litọ̄li al-balāʾi wamuddatihi!
Or for the length and period of tribulation?
121
فَلَئِن صَيَّرْتَنِي لِلْعُقُوبَاتِ مَعَ أَعْدَآئِكَ
fa-lain ṣayyartanī lilʿuqūbāt maʿa ʾaʿdāʾika
So if You take me to the punishments with Your enemies,
122
وَجَمَعْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَهْلِ بَلآئِكَ
wa-jamʿata bayni wa-bayna ahl-i balāʾika
And gather me with the people of Your tribulation
123
وَفَرَّقْتَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَ أَحِبَّائِكَ وَأَوْلِيَائِكَ
wa-farraqtu bayni wa bayna aḥibba'ika wa awliyā'ika
And separate me from Your friends and saints,
124
فَهَبْنِي يَا إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي وَمَوْلايَ وَرَبِّي صَبَرْتُ عَلَى عَذَابِكَ،
fahabnī yā ilāhī wa sayyidī wa mawlāy wa rabbī, ṣabartu ʿalā ʿadhābika
Then suppose, My God, my Master, my Protector and my Lord that I am able to endure Your chastisement,
125
فَكَيْفَ أَصْبِرُ عَلَى فِرَاقِكَ
fakayfa 'asbiru 'ala firaaqika
How can I endure separation from You?
126
وَهَبْنِي صَبَرْتُ عَلَى حَرِّ نَارِكَ،
wa habnī, ṣabartu ʿalá ḥarri nārik
And suppose that I am able to endure the heat of Your fire,
127
فَكَيْفَ أَصْبِرُ عَنِ النَّظَرِ إِلَى كَرَامَتِكَ
fakayfa 'asbiru 'ani an-nadhari 'ila karamatika
How can I endure not gazing upon Your generosity?
128
أَمْ كَيْفَ أَسْكُنُ فِي النَّارِ وَرَجَائِي عَفْوُكَ
am kayfa as-kunu fil-naar wa rajaa'i ʿafwuka
Or how can I dwell in the Fire while my hope is Your pardon?
129
فَبِعِزَّتِكَ يَا سَيِّدِي وَمَوْلايَ أُقْسِمُ صَادِقًا، لَئِنْ تَرَكْتَنِي نَاطِقًا
fabi'izzatika ya sayyidi wa mawlaya uqsimu saadiqan, la'in tarakatani naatiqan
So by Your might, my Master and my protector, I swear sincerely, if You leave me with speech,
130
لَأَضِجَّنَّ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ أَهْلِهَا ضَجِيجَ الآمِلِينَ
la 'adijjanna ilayka bayna ahliha dajiij al-amiliin
I will lament to You from the midst of the Fire's inhabitants with lamentation of the hopeful;
131
وَلأَصْرُخَنَّ إِلَيكَ صُرَاخَ المُسْتَصْرِخِينَ
wa la asrukhanna ilayka suraakha al-mustasrikheen
I will cry to You with the cry of those crying for help;
132
وَلَأَبْكِيَنَّ عَلَيْكَ بُكَاءَ الفَاقِدِينَ
walābakīyanna ʿalayka bukāʾa al-fāqideen
I will weep to You with the weeping of the bereft;
133
وَلَأُنَادِيَنَّكَ أَيْنَ كُنْتَ يَا وَلِيَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ
wa la'unadiyannaka ayna kuntaya waliyya al-mu'mineen
And I will call to You, Where art Thou, O Sponsor of the believers,
134
يَا غَايَةَ آمَاِل العَارِفِينَ
yā ghāyat āmāl al-ʿārifīn
O Goal of the hopes of Your knowers,
135
يَا غِيَاثَ المُسْتَغِيْثِينَ
yā ghīyath al-mustaghithīn
O Aid of those who seek assistance,
136
يَا حَبِيبَ قُلُوبِ الصَّادِقِينَ
yā ḥabība qulūbiṣ-ṣādiqīn
O Friend of the hearts of the sincere
137
وَيَا إِلَهَ العَالَمِينَ
wa yā ʾilāha al-ʿālamīn
And O God of all the world's inhabitants!
138
أَفَتُرَاكَ، سُبْحَانَكَ يَا إِلَهِي وَبِحَمْدِكَ، تَسْمَعُ فِيهَا صَوْتَ عَبْدٍ مُّسْلِمٍ
"ʾafaturāka, subḥānaka yā ilāhī wa biḥamdik, tasmaʿu fīhā ṣawta ʿabdin muslimin
Can You see Yourself — Glory be to You My God, and Yours is the praise — hearing within the Fire the voice of a slave surrendered to
139
سُجِنَ فِيهَا بِمُخَالَفَتِهِ
sujina fiha bimukhalafatihi
Imprisoned there because of his violations,
140
وَذَاقَ طَعْمَ عَذَابِهَا بِمَعْصِيَتِهِ
wa dhāqa ṭaʿma ʿadhābihā bi maʿṣiyatihī
Tasting the flavour of its torment because of his disobedience,
141
وَحُبِسَ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا بِجُرْمِهِ وَجَرِيرَتِهِ
wa ḥubisa bayna aṭbāqihā bi jurmihi wa jarīratihi
And confined within its levels because of his sin and crime,
142
وَهُوَ يَضِجُّ إلَيْكَ ضَجِيجَ مُؤَمِّلٍ لِّرَحْمَتِكَ
wa huwa yaḍijju ilayka ḍajīja mujammilin li-raḥmatika
While he laments to You with the lament of one hopeful for Your mercy,
143
وَيُنَادِيكَ بِلِسَانِ أَهْلِ تَوْحِيدِكَ
wa yunādīka bi lisāni ahlit-tawḥīdik
And calls to You with the tongue of those who profess Your Unity
144
وَيَتَوَسَّلُ إلَيْكَ بِرُبُوبِيَّتِكَ
wayatawassalu ilayka bi rububiyyatika
And entreats You by Your lordship!
145
يَا مَوْلايَ فَكَيْفَ يَبْقَى فِي الْعَذَابِ وَهُوَ يَرْجُو مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ حِلْمِكَ
yā mawlāy, fakaīfa yabqā fīl-'adhabi wahūwa yarjū mā salafa min ḥilmika
My Protector, so how should he remain in the chastisement, while he has hope for Your previous clemency?
146
أَمْ كَيْفَ تُؤْلِمُهُ النَّارُ وَهُوَ يَأْمَلُ فَضْلَكَ وَرَحْمَتَكَ
am kayfa tu'lamuhu alnnaru wahua ya'malu fadhlaka warahmatika
Or how should the Fire cause him pain while he expects Your bounty and mercy?
147
أَمْ كَيْفَ يُحْرِقُهُ لَهِيبُهَا وَأَنتَ تَسْمَعُ صَوْتَهُ وَتَرَى مَكَانَهُ
am kayfa yuhriquhu lahibuhā wa anta tasmaʿu ṣawtahu wa tara makānahu
Or how should its flames burn him, while You hear his voice and see his place?
148
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَشْتَمِلُ عَلَيْهِ زَفِيرُهَا وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ ضَعْفَهُ
am kayfa yashtamilu ʿalayhi zafīruhā wa anta taʿlamu ḍaʿfahu
Or how should its groaning encompass him, while You know his weakness?
149
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَتَقَلْقَلُ بَيْنَ أَطْبَاقِهَا وَأَنْتَ تَعْلَمُ صِدْقَهُ
am kayfa yataqallalu bayna aṭbāqihā wa anta taʿlamu ṣidqah
Or how should he be convulsed among its levels, while You know his sincerity?
150
أَمْ كَيْفَ تَزْجُرُهُ زَبَانِيَتُهَا وَهُوَ يُنَادِيكَ يَا رَبَّهُ
amma kayfa tazjuruhu zabaaniyatuhā wa huwa yunādīka yā rabbahu
Or how should its keepers torture him while he calls out to You, “O Lord”?
151
أَمْ كَيْفَ يَرْجُو فَضْلَكَ فِي عِتْقِهِ مِنْهَا فَتَتْرُكُهُ فِيهَا
am kayfa yarju fadlaka fi ʿitqihī minhā fatatrukuhū fīhā
Or how should he have hope of Your bounty in freeing him from it, while You abandon him within it?
152
هَيهَاتَ مَا ذَلِكَ الظَّنُّ بِكَ
hayhat mā dhālika al-ẓannu bika
Far be it from You! That is not what is expected of You,
153
وَلا الْمَعْرُوفُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ
wa lā al-maʿrūf min faḍlika
Nor what is well-known of Your bounty,
154
وَلا مُشْبِهٌ لِمَا عَامَلْتَ بِهِ الْمُوَحِّدِينَ مِنْ بِرِّكَ وَإِحْسَانِكَ
walā mushbihun limā ʿāmalta bihi al-muwahhidīna min birrika wa-iḥsānik
Nor it is similar to the goodness and kindness Thou hast shown to those who profess Your Unity.
155
فَبِالْيَقِينِ أَقْطَعُ لَوْلا مَا حَكَمْتَ بِهِ مِن تَعْذِيبِ جَاحِدِيكَ
fa bil-yaqīni aqṭaʿu lawlā mā ḥakamta bihī min taʿẓībi jāḥidīka
So I declare with certainty that were it not for what You have decreed concerning the chastisement of Your deniers
156
وَقَضَيْتَ بِهِ مِنْ إِخْلاَدِ مُعَانِدِيكَ
waqaḍayta bihi min ikhlādi muʿānidīka
And what You have foreordained concerning the everlasting home of those who stubbornly resist,
157
لَجَعَلْتَ النَّارَ كُلَّهَا بَرْدًا وَّسَلاَمًا،
lajʿaltan-naara kullaha bardan wa salaaman
You would make the Fire, all of it, coolness and safety,
158
وَمَا كَانَ لأَحَدٍ فِيهَا مَقَرًّا وَّلا مُقَامًا
wamā kāna li-aḥadin fīhā maqarran wallā muqāmān
And no one would have a place of rest or abode within it.
159
لَّكِنَّكَ تَقَدَّسَتْ أَسْمَاؤُكَ أَقْسَمْتَ أَنْ تَمْلَأَهَا مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ،
lākinna-ka taqaddasat asmā-uka, aqsamta an tamla'a-hā min al-kāfirīn
But You —holy are Your Names—hast sworn that You will fill it with the unbelievers,
160
مِنَ الْجِنَّةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ
min al-jinnati wa al-nāsi ajmaʿīna
Both Jinn and men together,
161
وَأَنْ تُخَلِّدَ فِيهَا الْمُعَانِدِينَ
wa ʾan tukhallida fīhā almuʿāndīn
And that You will place those who stubbornly resist therein forever.
162
وَأَنْتَ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُكَ قُلْتَ مُبْتَدِئًا، وَّتَطَوَّلْتَ بِالإِنْعَامِ مُتَكَرِّمًا:
wa anta jalla thana'uka qulta mubtadiaan, wa tatawwaltu bil-in'aami mutakarriman
And You — majestic is Your eulogy— said at the beginning and were gracious through kindness as a favour,
163
أَفَمَنْ كَانَ مُؤْمِنًا كَمَنْ كَانَ فَاسِقًا لَّا يَسْتَوُونَ
afaman kana mu'minan kaman kana fasiquan la yastawun
“What? Is he who has been believer like unto him who has been ungodly? They are not equal” (32:18)
164
إِلَهِي وَسَيِّدِي فَأَسْألُكَ بِالْقُدْرَةِ الَّتِي قَدَّرْتَهَا
ilāhī wa-sayyidī fa-as'aluka bial-qudrah allatī qaddartahā
My God and my Master! So I ask You by the power You have apportioned
165
وَبِالْقَضِيَّةِ الَّتِي حَتَمْتَهَا وَحَكَمْتَهَا وَغَلَبْتَ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرَيْتَهَا
wa bil-qadīyyah allatī ḥatamta-hā wa ḥakamta-hā wa ghalabta man ʿalay-hi ajraytahā
And by the decision which You have determined and imposed and through which You have overcome him toward whom it has been put into
166
أَن تَهَبَ لِي، فِي هذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ، وَفِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ
'an tahaba li, fī hādhīhi al-laylah, wa fī hādhīhi al-sā'ah
That You forgive me in this night and at this hour
167
كُلَّ جُرْمٍ أَجْرَمْتُهُ
kullu jurmin ajramtuhu
Every offence I have committed,
168
وَكُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ

And every sin I have performed,
169
وَكُلَّ قَبِيحٍ أَسْرَرْتُهُ

وَكُلَّ جَهْلٍ عَمِلْتُهُ،
wa kulla jahlin 'amiltuhu
And every folly I have enacted
171
كَتَمْتُهُ أَوْ أَعْلَنتُهُ،
katamtu-hu aw aʿlantu-hu
Whether I have hidden or announced it,
172
أَخفَيْتُهُ أَوْ أَظْهَرْتُهُ
akhfaytuhu aw athharthuhu
Or I have concealed it or manifested it
173
وَكُلَّ سَيِّئَةٍ أَمَرْتَ بِإِثْبَاتِهَا الْكِرَامَ الكَاتِبِينَ
wa kulla sayyiatin amarta bi'ithbatiha al-kirama al-katibin
And every evil act which You have commanded the Noble Writers to record,
174
الَّذِينَ وَكَّلْتَهُم بِحِفْظِ مَا يَكُونُ مِنِّي،
alladhina wakkaltahum bihifdhi ma yakuunu minni
Those whom You have appointed to watch over what appears from me
175
وَجَعَلْتَهُمْ شُهُودًا عَلَيَّ مَعَ جَوَارِحِي،
wa jaʿaltahum shuhūdan ʿalayya maʿa jawāriḥī
And whom You have made, along with my bodily members, witness against me.
176
وَكُنتَ أَنْتَ الرَّقِيبَ عَلَيَّ مِن وَّرَائِهِمْ،
wa kunta anta al-raqība ʿalayya min warāʾihim
And “You were Yourself the Watcher” (5:117) over me from behind them,
177
وَالشَّاهِدَ لِمَا خَفِيَ عَنْهُمْ،
wal-shāhida limā khafiya 'anhum،
And the Witness of what is hidden from them
178
وَبِرَحْمَتِكَ أَخْفَيْتَهُ،
wa bi-raḥmatika akhfaytahu
But through Your mercy You concealed it
179
وَبِفَضْلِكَ سَتَرْتَهُ
wa bifadlika satarthu
And through Your bounty You veiled it.
180
وَأَنْ تُوَفِّرَ حَظِّي مِن كُلِّ خَيْرٍ تُنْزِلُهُ،
wa an tuwaffira haẓẓī min kulli khayrin tunziluhu
[And I ask You] that You bestow upon me an abundant share of every good You send down,
181
أَوْ إِحْسَانٍ تُفْضِلُهُ
aw iḥsānin tufḍiluhu
Or kindness You confer,
182
أَوْ بِرٍّ تَنْشُرُهُ،
'aw birrin tanshuruhu
Or goodness You unfold,
183
أَوْ رِزْقٍ تَبْسُطُهُ
aw rizqin tabṣuṭuhu
Or provision You spread out,
184
أَوْ ذَنْبٍ تَغْفِرُهُ
ʾaw ẓanbin taghfiruhu
Or sin You forgive,
185
أَوْ خَطَأٍ تَسْتُرُهُ
aw khata'an tasturu-hu
Or error You cover.
186
