A Prayer That Came From Jesus
Ibn Tawus said: I have followed my own documents on the narration of this tradition up to Sa’ad ibn Hebbatollah Rawandi and he has mentioned his own documents on the narration (of this prayer) in the book “Ghesasul Anbia” (the stories of the prophets) that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (A.S) narrated this tradition from his father to the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and said: When the Jewish community came together and decided to kill Jesus Christ (peace be upon Muhammad and his Household and him), Gabriel came down and covered him (Jesus) with his own wings. Then, when Jesus looked up, he saw this prayer written under the wings of Gabriel and this is the prayer:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ بِاسْمِكَ الْوَاحِدِ الاَعَزِّ وَأَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ الصَّمَدِ وَأَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ الْعَظِيمِ الْوَتْرِ وَأَدْعُوكَ اللَّهُمَّ بِاسْمِكَ الْكَبِيرِ الْمُتَعَالِ الَّذِي ثَبَتَتْ بِهِ أَرْكَانُكَ كُلُّهَا أَنْ تَكْشِفَ عَنِّي مَا أَصْبَحْتُ وَأَمْسَيْتُ فِيهِ.
O’ Lord! Verily, I call You by Your name which is the One Dearest and I call You O’ Lord by Your name the Impenetrable and I call You by Your name the Great Single and I call You by Your name the Great Most High because of which all Your pillars are fixed, to remove what I enter upon morning and I enter upon evening in.
Then, when you pray this way, God the Almighty sends Revelation to Gabriel that “bring this person to me”. Then, the Holy Prophet added: “O’ the sons of Abdul Mutalib, call Your God with these names. Thus, I swear to God who has my life in his hands, no servant recites this prayer with pure intentions unless the Throne moves because of these words and God says to His angels that: witness that I accepted their prayers and bestowed their worldly and the hereafter requests”. Then the Prophet (PBUH) said to his followers: “use these words and do not worry about its acceptance.”
