Supplication of Imam Ali al Murtaza (as)

Bismillahirahmaniraheem

Allahuma Salli 'ala Muhammad wa 'ala Aali Muhammad

O Allah I am asking for your protection against the Day when nothing like wealth or children will be of use and only that person will benefit who will come with a pure heart.

And I am asking you for your protection against the Day when a wrongdoer will be biting the back of his hands in regret and will be saying, 'Oh, I wish I had chosen the way shown by the Prophet (of Allah),"

And I am asking for your protection against the Day when the sinners will be known by their faces, and will be taken by their hair and feet.

And I am asking for your protection against the Day when a father will not serve instead of his son nor will a son be punished instead of his father for anything, since Allah had promised thus and His promise is true.

And I am asking for your protection against the Day when a person will run away from his brother, his mother, his father, his wife, and children. That Day every person will have what he has earned for himself.

I am asking for your protection against the Day when the sinner would wish that he could ransom the wrath of Allah descending on him at that time with his children, his wife, his brother and relatives who gave him shelter and all those on earth, so that he be saved.
