DUA'A-E-MASHLOOL
|
Dua’a-e-Mashlool
is also called
Dua’a-e-Khizr.
Mashlool is
derived from “Shal”
which means
“Frozen or
Paralyzed”. The
Commander of the
Faithful, the
Rescuer of the
troubled, the
Spiritual Father
of Muslims
(Hadith), came
to rescue to a
paralyzed young
man.
The King of
Martyrs, Imam
Husayn (a.s.)
narrates the
back ground:
“On a dark
wintry night, I
accompanied my
father, Imam Ali
(a.s.) to the
Sacred Mosque of
Ka’ba. While we
were praying, we
heard someone
reciting
supplication. My
father sent me
towards the man,
and I brought
him in the
presence of my
father, who
asked the man’s
name. He replied
“My name is
Manzil ibn Lahiq.
In my youth I
persisted in
sins, while my
father used to
guide me towards
repentance.
Instead of
listening, I
used to beat
him. One day, I
stole his hidden
money and was
running out when
he tried to stop
me. I twisted
his wrist and
ran away.
Thereupon, my
father kept fast
and went to the
Sacred Mosque of
Ka’ba and prayed
to Allah to
inflict upon me
the disease of
paralysis.
Before long I
was paralyzed.
I then besought
my father to
pray for my
recovery at the
same place where
he had prayed
for my
affliction. My
father in his
infinite love
and kindness
granted my
request and we
both set out for
Makkah. As my
bad luck would
have it, my
father’s camel
got frightened
and he was
thrown on the
ground and died.
Now I am left to
spend rest of my
life in this
condition.
On hearing this
sad tale,
Imam Ali (a.s.)
was moved by
pity and
compassion, and
taught him the
following prayer
and said:
“Perform the
ablutions and
recite this
prayer tonight.”
He did so, and
the effect was
miraculous! Next
morning when he
came to my
father, he was
perfectly cured
and said:
“Really this
prayer is
ISM-E-AZAM
because when I
prayed this
Dua’a several
times, a deep
sleep fell upon
me and I dreamt
that the Noble
Prophet
(s.a.w.a.s.)
came and
massaged my body
with his own
hands. When I
woke up, the
illness had
completely
departed from
me. May Allah
reward you O’
Amir-al-Momineen.”
Imam Husayn
(a.s.) continues
to state this
Dua’a contains
ISM-E-AZAM.
Whoever recites
it is relieved
of sorrows,
cured of
illness, his
debts will be
paid off, his
poverty will be
changed to
prosperity, his
sins forgiven,
his defects
hidden, and he
shall be granted
safety and
security from
all evil. If any
of the obedient
servants of
Allah recites
this prayer, the
mountains can be
moved from their
place, the dead
can be restored
to life, and
water can turn
into ice. Imam
Husayn (a.s.)
further directs
that this prayer
should never be
recited in a
state of
impurity and
pollution.

of Allah, the
Beneficent, the
Merciful
