Ibna Tawus in Muhaj al-Dawat and Kafami in al-Misbah narrate this supplication on the
authority of Moula Ali (asws) who learnt it from the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be
upon him and his progeny). The Holy Prophet (saw) advised Him to recite this supplication
regularly, whether in prosperity or poverty, till death, because it unveils the secrets of creation
and divine strategy. This supplication is recommended for the removal of all troubles and
worries, and it is recommended that it be performed with ablution.
