HIRZ E IMAM ZAIN AL ABEDEEN (A)

Third: This evil-repelling prayer is ascribed to Imam ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn Zayn al-’Abidin (‘a):

In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

In the Name of Allah (I begin) and in Allah (I put my trust).

I shut the mouths of jinn, human beings,

devils, sorcerers, demons,

both jinn and human beings,

rulers, and their protégés

in the name of Allah the Almighty and Mightiest,

in the name of Allah the Great and Greatest,

and in the name of Allah that is evident, immanent,

hoarded, and stored,

and by which Allah has established the heavens and the earth

and then prevailed on the Throne.

“In the Name of Allah; the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.

And the word shall come to pass against them because they were unjust,

so they shall not speak.”

“He shall say: Go away into it and speak not to Me.”

“And the faces shall be humbled before the Living, the Self-subsistent Allah,

and he who bears iniquity is indeed in a failure.”

“And the voices shall be low before the Beneficent Allah

so that you shall not hear aught but a soft sound.”

“And We have cast veils over their hearts lest they understand it

and a heaviness into their ears.”

“And when you mention your Lord alone in the Qur'an

they turn their backs in aversion.”

“And when you recite the Qur'an,

We place between you and those who do not believe in the hereafter

a hidden barrier.”

“And We have made before them a barrier

and a barrier behind them,

then We have covered them over so that they do not see.”

“On that day, We will set a seal upon their mouths,

and their hands shall speak to Us.”

“So, they shall not speak.”

“Had you spent all that is in the earth,

you could not have united their hearts,

but Allah united them.

Surely, He is Mighty, Wise.”

May Allah bless Muhammad and his immaculate Household.
