Merits of Dua’a Jaushan E Sagheer

As a footnote, al-Kafàmi, in al-Balad al-Amin,

says, this Dua’a was recited by Imam Musa

al-Kazim, (a.s) when al-Hadi, the Àbbasid

ruler, intended to assassinate him. Hence, the

Imam (a.s) saw in dream his grandfather, the

Holy Prophet (s), who foretold that “Allāh

(swt) would annihilate his enemy.” It is a very

effective supplication, having all the merits of

al Jawshan al Kabir.

It is also recorded in Sayyid Ibn Tawus’s book

of Muhaj al-Daàwat but with little difference.

However, this copy is quoted from al-Balad al-

Amin:

ؿ ص و ا م صو غل مرم

اللص مرم

O' Allāh send Your blessings on

Muhammad

and the family of Muhammad.

allahumma salli àla muhammadin wa ali

muhammadin
