Yaa Man Arjoho Le Kulle Khair

Rajab Month Duas Index

The following du`a is recommended after the daily obligatory prayers in the month of
Rajab. The du`a, according to Shaykh `Abbas Qummi in MafateeHul Jinaan has been
taught by Imam Ja`far as-Sadiq (a). Sayyid Ibn Tawus has narrated that

Muhammad ibn Dhakwnknown as al-Sajjd due to his remarkable,

long prostration during which he used to weep so heavily that he lost
his sightasked Imam Ja`far al-Sadiq (a.s), saying, May Allah accept
me as ransom for you! We are now in Rajab; I therefore please you to
teach me a supplication due to which Almighty Allah may help me.
Hence, the Imam (a.s) asked him to write down the
following:

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 of
the beard from the fire
(of Hell).

The dua

:-

( 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
doesnt 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

( 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.
Same Dua in another format:-

O He Whom alone I hope for

all good things;
and Whose wrath I do not
expect when I do wrong;

y man arjhu likulli

khayrin,
wa manu sakhaahu `inda
kulli sharrin,

O He Who recompenses the

little deed with very much
reward;

y man yu`y alkathra

bilqalli,

O He Who answers him who

begs Him;

y man yu`y man salahu,

O He Who gives those who do

y man yu`y man lam
not ask Him and do not even
yasalhu wa man lam
recognize Him out of His
ya`rifhu taannnan minhu
kindness and mercifulness:
wa ramatan,
