Supplication of Imam Zayn al-Abideen (Radi Allahu Anhu)

The famous Taba’ee, Hadrat Ta’oos bin Kaisan (Radi Allahu Anhu) said:

“I heard Sayyiduna Ali bin Hussain (Radi Allahu Anhu) while he was in prostration in his room saying:

اللهم عبيدك بفنائك ، مسكينك بفنائك ، سائلك بفنائك ، فقيرك بفنائك

Allahumma Ubayduka bi fina'ika , Miskeenuka bi fina'ika , Saa'iluka bi fina'ika , Faqeeruka bi fina'ika.

‘Your servant in your court, your needy in your court, your seeker in your court, your destitute in your shelter.’

Sayyiduna Ta’oos (Radi Allahu Anhu) said: ‘Never did I supplicate with it in a calamity except it was removed from me’.”
