Pearl of Wisdom

'Asceticism is the key to the door of the Hereafter and immunity from the Fire, and it is to abandon all those things that preoccupy you from Allah, neither experiencing regret upon their loss, nor self admiration for having abandoned them, nor awaiting deliverance from them, nor seeking praise on account of them, and nor anything else in exchange for them. Rather you see their loss as a source of comfort and their presence as a source of misfortune, such that you consistently run away from misfortune and seek refuge in comfort.'

Imam Ja'far ibn Muhammad al-Sadiq [as]
Ibid. p. 315, no. 20

Question : #134 Category: Dua / Supplications
Subject: Dua Faraj and Imam Mahdi
Question: Is it true that Dua Faraj was narrated by Imam Mahdi initially?
Answer: Salaam,

There is a supplication called dua faraj which starts by Allahumah kun li-waliyik. This dua is probably narrated from Imam Ali bin Muhammad (a), although the name of the Imam is not mentioned in Bihar al-Anwar.

There is another dua called dua faraj of Imam Zaman (a) in Mafatih al-Jinan which starts by Allahuma azuma al-Bala'. This supplication, according to Shaykh Abbas Qumi, is narrated from Imam Mahdi (a).
