Description

Literary. A Shīʿī prayer written in Arabic script. There are some lines in red ink. The literariness of the verses is such that bounties aren't directly sought, rather they are attributed to the creator and sought passively. Ignoring the order of the verses, most of them resemble the verses of Duʿā al-Jawshan (for Saturday) attributed to ʿAlī b. Abī Ṭālib or other verses of supplication attributed to him and quoted in the book Biḥār al-Anwār by Majlesi (d. 1698). The variant in Biḥār al-Anwār is as follows: يا من لا يشغله سمع عن سمع يا من لا يمنعه فعل عن فعل يا من لا يلهيه قول عن قول يا من لا يغلطه سؤال عن سؤال يا من لا يحجبه شئ عن شئ يا من لا يبرمه إلحاح الملحين يا من هو غاية مراد المريدين يا من هو منتهى همم العارفين، يا من هو منتهى طلب الطالبين، يا من لا يخفى عليه ذرة في العالمين.
