Mashlool Supplication

Mashlool Supplication

This supplication known as "supplication of the youth stricken for his sin," is quoted from the work of Kaf-ami and from Muhaj al Da-wat by Sayyid ibn tawus. Through Imam Hussein (pbuh) it is reported that one day He and His Father, after performing Hajj, caught sight of a paralyzed young man crying his eyes out in repentance. They went near to console him and find out the reason for his sorry plight. He was a habitual sinner, always teased his father, disobeyed him and treated him with contempt. One day, disgusted, the father invoked a curse upon him. So he was affected with paralysis. Then and there Imam Ali (pbuh) ibn abi Talib (as) wrote his Supplication and gave it to him with instruction to recite after Isha prayer. Next day fully cured, he came to Imam Ali (pbuh) and said that he had recited the Supplication as told and went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the dream. Rasool Allah (pbuh), gently touched his body with His hand and asked him to remember this Supplication as it contains the great name of Allah.

Recite this Supplication after Isha prayer. It brings countless blessings. All your legitimate desires will be fulfilled. It drives away poverty and sickness. Sins are forgiven. Debts are cleared. Enemies become friends. Domestic affairs are set right. Disputes are settled in your favor. Prisoners are set free and mental worries disappear. Prosperity, a sound mind and healthy body stand by you at all times. Mercy and forgiveness of sins are the main advantages the almighty Allah makes available if this Supplication is recited regularly.
