This dua'a contains the articles of faith. Every faithful must recite this dua'a regularly to drive away
Shaytan, and to remain firm in the true faith. A dying faithful, in the last moments of life, should recite
this dua'a, or , if it is not possible, ask someone else to read it aloud for him or her, so as not to be misled
by doubts which may come into the mind, or not to be depressed emotionally, because these forces
together with the misleading suggestions of Shaytan, more often than not, in the last hour of life, make
man die a death of an infidel or hypocrite

In the Name of Allah, the Allbeneficent, the All-merciful.

Many authentically reported supplications have comprised the following statement:

DUAADEELAH
O Allah, I seek Your protection
against deviation at the hour of
death.

www.Duas.org

allhumma inn a`dhu bika mina

al`adlati `inda almawti

Pg7

Deviation at the hour of death stands for shifting from the right to the wrong at the hour of death. To explain,
Satan attends at the hour of death in order to deceive the moribund and suggest evil to him in order to make him
doubt about his religion. If Satan succeeds, he will pull out faith from the heart of the dying person. To avoid that,
many supplications have comprised statements of seeking Almighty Allahs protection against deviation at death.
Fakhr al-Muaqqiqn says, To escape deviation at the hour of death, one should bethink the proofs of creed in
which he believes, as well as the five principles of the religion with all of their irrefutable evidences, with absolute
sincerity and purity and should then trust them with Almighty Allah beseeching Him for giving them back at the
hour of dying. This can be done by saying the following prayer:

O Allah, O most Merciful of all

those who show mercy,

allhumma y arama alrrimna

I am depositing with You this

faith of mine and my firmness on
this belief;

inn qad awda`tuka yaqn

hdh wa thabta dn

and You are the ever-best of all

those who keep deposits.

wa anta khayru mustawda`in

You have commanded us to keep

safe deposits that are put with
us;

wa qad amartan biifi alwad'i`i

so, (please) keep for me this

deposit to give it back to me at
the time of my death

faruddah `alayya waqta uri

mawt

According to the view of Fakhr al-Muaqqiqn, Du`' al-`Adlah along with calling its contents in ones mind
grants security against the danger of deviation at the hour of death. The question whether this supplication has
been reported from the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, or has been composed by a certain scholar is
controversial. Concerning this, our master jj Mrz usayn al-Nr, a master adthist and well-versed in the
reports of the Holy Imams, peace be upon them, says that Du`' al-`Adlah has been composed by some scholars
since it cannot be found in the famous books of adth.
A similar prayer is Hifz emaan:It is also worth mentioning that Shaykh al-s has narrated that Muammad ibn Sulaymn al-Daylam said to
Imam Ja`far al-diq (`a) Your adherents say that Faith is of two sections; one is steady and the other
depository. So, please teach me a supplication that makes my faith perfect and saves it from removal.
Imam al-diq (`a) hence taught him to say the following prayer after each obligatory prayer:

I have submitted to Allah being

my Lord,
to Muammadmay Allah send
blessings to him and his
Householdbeing [my] Prophet,
