Pearl of Wisdom

when Suma'a b. Mihran asked him about Allah's verse in the Qur'an: So be patient just as the resolute among the apostles were patient, said, 'Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Muhammad, peace be upon him, his progeny and them.' [Suma'a said,] I asked, 'How did they become the arch-prophets?' He said, 'Because Noah was sent with a divine book and law (shari'a), and all who came after him adopted Noah's book, law and teachings, until Abraham (AS) came with the Scriptures being commanded to leave Noah's book without disbelieving in it...'

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).
