In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

 

O Allah, bless Muhammad and his household.
O He from whom I can hope for all goodness And I am safe from His anger at every evil.

O He who gives a lot in exchange of a little.
O He who gives to one who asks Him.
O He who gives to one who does not ask Him and does not know Him,
Out of His affection and mercy.

Give me, for my request is only to You alone, All the good of this world and all the good of the Hereafter.
Keep away from me, for my request is only to You alone, All the evil of this world and the evil of the Hereafter. For indeed it is not diminishing what is given by You. Increase (for) me from Your bounty, O The Generous.

(Then the 6th Imam held his beard in his left hand and gave a movement to the index finger in his right hand saying :)

O The Sublime and The Distinguished,
O The Bountiful and The Magnanimous,
O the Gracious and the Mighty,
Save my grey hairs from the fire (of Hell).

Allahumma Swalli `alaa muHammadinw wa-aali muHammad.

(Then the 6th Imam held his beard in his left hand and gave a movement to the index finger in his right hand saying :)

Yaa dhaljalaali walikraam

Key to understanding the transliteration:

 

Double a, e, and o indicate the long vowels.

 

Letter Haa (from the throat) represented by capital H, e.g. muHammad.

 

The sound of `ayn is indicated by `, e.g. `Abbas.

 

Letter Saad indicated by capital S. However, the sound of Saad is tranliterated as Sw in the salawat.

 

Letter Dhaad (which follows Saad in the Arabic alphabet) indicated by Dh.

 

Letter Taa (which follows Dhaad in the alphabet) is indicated as capital T.

 

Tajweed rules of recitation have been considered here and there

The dua “يا من ارجوه لكل خير” (yaa man arjoohu li kulli khayr) is commonly recited after prayers during this month. Many people have unknowingly misinterpreted the tradition accompanying the dua and make these common mistakes:

- The tradition says to hold your beard in your left hand while moving the index finger of your right hand. It doesn't say to move your hand or your arm. Swinging your arm around left and right doesn’t fit with what the tradition says. Instead, keep your arm and hand steady and still and move only your pointing finger back and forth.

- The narration actually says that the Imam (a) held his beard and moved his finger throughout the whole dua

- not just the part that begins with يا ذا الجلال و الاكرام (ya dhal jalaali wal ikraam). This can be proven by carefully examining the whole tradition.

- Women are exempted from the accompany rites and can simply recite the dua while lifting their hands towards the sky as is typical when asking from Allah.
