Merits
Dua at midday: It is narrated by Muhammad ibn Muslim on the authority of Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq, peace be upon him, that one may say this supplicatory prayer at midday (zohr) on Fridays. This form of the supplication has been quoted from Shaykh al-Tusi’s famous book entitled Misbah al-Mutahajjid.
Surahs in Friday prayers: Shaykh al-Saduq has narrated that Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) said: It is obligatory upon all believers who claim being adherents (Shi’ah) to us (i.e. to the Ahl al-Bayt) to recite [Surah al-Jumu’ah](A66) and Surah al-A’la (No. 78) in the obligatory prayers at Friday nights and to recite [Surah al-Jumu’ah](A66) and [Surah al-Munafiqun](A67) in the Zohr Prayer on Fridays. One who does so will be regarded as following the example of the Holy Messenger, peace be upon him and his Household, and Almighty Allah will award him Paradise.
Shaykh al-Kulayni has narrated in a semi-authentic narration that al-Halabi asked Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) whether one should recite the Zohr Prayer audibly on Fridays (in case one cannot attend the congregational Friday Prayer). The Imam (a.s.) answered on the affirmative and confirmed that one should recite [Surah al-Jumu’ah](A66) and al-Munafiqun in the Zohr Prayer on Fridays.
Surahs for protection: With reference to the post-prayer litanies in general and the supplications to be said after the Friday Zohr Prayer, Shaykh al-Tusi has quoted Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) as saying: Whoever recites on Friday after the concluding part of the Zohr Prayer these parts of the Holy Qur’an will be under the divine protection all over the week.
Salawat after Fajr or Zuhr: Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq (a.s.) is also reported to have said: If one says the first supplicatory prayer after the Fajr Prayer or the Zohr Prayer, no sin will be recorded against him for a whole year.
Imam Ja’far al-Sadiq(a.s.) is also reported to have said: If one says the second supplicatory prayer after the Fajr Prayer or the Zohr Prayer (on Fridays), he will not die before he catches the age of Imam al-Mahdi, peace be upon him.
The second supplication also brings about security from misfortunes up to the next Friday if it is repeated three times after the Friday Zohr Prayer.
It has been also narrated that one who invokes Almighty Allah’s blessings upon the Holy Prophet and his Household, peace be upon them, between the two obligatory Zohr and Asr prayers will have the reward of offering a seventy-unit prayer.
Text and Translation
Two units after Zuhr: In his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, Shaykh al-Tusi says that the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, are reported to have said: When one offers, after the obligatory Zohr Prayer on Fridays, a two-unit prayer and after accomplishment says this supplicatory prayer, one will be saved against all misfortunes and seditious matters up to the next Friday, and will be joined with Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his Household, and Prophet Abraham, peace be upon him.
Sahifah duas: Thus was Imam Zayn al-’Abidin (a.s.) used to do.
