Namaz for the Removal of Difficulties

Text and Translation

Shaykh al-Kulayni, in his book Ta'bir al-Ru'ya, has reported on the authority of al-Washsha' that Imam al-Rida (a) said: In my sleep, I saw my father saying to me: Son, whenever you are in trouble, repeat this saying as many times as possible:

يَا رَؤُوْفُ يَا رَحِيْمُ۔

YAA RA-OOFU YAA RAHEEM.

O Most Compassionate, O Most Merciful.

Imam al-Rida (a) then commented, "There is no difference between what we (the Holy Infallibles) see in waking and what we see in sleep."
