Supplications After Eid's Prayer (Shawwāl)
Narrations have mentioned many supplicatory prayers to be said after the ‘Id Prayer; rather, the best of them may be the forty-sixth supplication of al-Sahifah al-Kamilah al-Sajjadiyyah
It is recommended to Recite the Ziarat of Imam al-Husayn (a.s.)
اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وَارِثَ آدَمَ صَفْوَةِ اللّهِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ نُوحٍ نَبِيِّ اللّهِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ إبْراھِيمَ خَلِيلِ اللّهِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ مُوسي كَلِيمِ اللّهِ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ عِيسي رُوحِ اللّهِ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ مُحَمَّدٍ حَبِيبِ اللّهِ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا وارِثَ ٲَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَابْنَ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُصْطَفي اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَابْنَ عَلِيٍّ الْمُرْتَضي، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَابْنَ فاطِمَةَ الزَّھْرائِ، اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَابْنَ خَدِيجَةَ الْكُبْري اَلسَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَا ثارَ اللّهِ وَابْنَ ثارِهِ وَالْوِتْرَ الْمَوْتُورَ، ٲَشْھَدُ ٲَنَّكَ قَدْ ٲَقَمْتَ الصَّلاةَ، وَآتَيْتَ الزَّكَاةَ، وَٲَمَرْتَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَھَيْتَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ وَٲَطَعْتَ اللّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ حَتَّي ٲَتَاكَ الْيَقِينُ، فَلَعَنَ اللّهُ ٲُمَّةً قَتَلَتْكَ، وَلَعَنَ اللّهُ ٲُمَّةً ظَلَمَتْكَ، وَلَعَنَ اللّهُ ٲُمَّةً سَمِعَتْ بِذلِكَ فَرَضِيَتْ بِهِ، يَا مَوْلايَ يَا ٲَبا عَبْدِ اللّهِ ٲَشْھَدُ ٲَنَّكَ كُنْتَ نُوراً فِي الْاَصْلَابِ الشَّامِخَةِ وَالْاََرْحامِ الْمُطَھَّرَةِ، لَمْ تُنَجِّسْكَ الْجَاھِلِيَّةُ بِٲَنْجَاسِھا وَلَمْ تُلْبِسْكَ مِنْ مُدْلَھِمَّاتِ ثِيَابِھا وَٲَشْھَدُ ٲَنَّكَ مِنْ دَعائِمِ الدِّينِ وَٲَرْكانِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَٲَشْھَدُ ٲَنَّكَ الْاِمامُ الْبَرُّ التَّقِيُّ الرَّضِيُّ الزَّكِيُّ الْھادِي الْمَھْدِيُّ، وَٲَشْھَدُ ٲَنَّ الْاََئِمَّةَ مِنْ وُلْدِكَ كَلِمَةُ التَّقْوي وَٲَعْلامُ الْھُدي وَالْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقي وَالْحُجَّةُ عَلَي ٲَھْلِ الدُّنْيا وَٲُشْھِدُ اللّهَ وَمَلائِكَتَهُ وَٲَنْبِيائَهُ وَرُسُلَه، ٲَنِّي بِكُمْ مُؤْمِنٌ وَبِ إيَابِكُمْ مُوقِنٌ، بِشَرائِعِ دِينِي، وَخَواتِيمِ عَمَلِي، وَقَلْبِي لِقَلْبِكُمْ سِلْمٌ، وَٲَمْرِي لِاَمْرِكُمْ مُتَّبِعٌ، صَلَواتُ اللّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ، وَعَلَي ٲَرْواحِكُمْ، وَعَلَي ٲَجْسادِكُمْ، وَعَلَي ٲَجْسامِكُمْ، وَعَلَي شاھِدِكُمْ، وَعَلَي غائِبكُمْ وَ عَلَي ظاھِرِكُمْ وَعَلَي باطِنِكُمْ.

It is recommended to say the famous supplicatory prayer known as Dua al-Nudbah, which will be cited later on in this book. Sayyid Ibn Tawus has instructed, saying: After saying Dua al-Nudbah, prostrate yourself and say the following:You may then put your right cheek on the ground and say the following:You may then put your right cheek on the ground and say the following:
ٲَعُوذُ بِکَ مِنْ نارٍ حَرُّھا لاَ یُطْفٲ وَجَدِیدُھا لاَ یَبْلی وَعَطْشانُھا لاَیُرْوی
You may then put your right cheek on the ground and say the following:
إلھِی لاَ تُقَلِّبْ وَجْھِی فِی النَّارِ بَعْدَ سُجُودِی وَتَعْفِیرِی لَکَ بِغَیْرِ مَنٍّ مِنِّی عَلَیْکَ بَلْ لَکَ الْمَنُّ عَلَیَّ
You may then put your left cheek on the ground and say the following:
اِرْحَمْ مَنْ ٲَسائَ وَاقْتَرَفَ وَاسْتَکانَ وَاعْتَرَفَ
You may then return to the (ordinary) prostration and say the following:
إنْ کُنْتُ بِئْسَ الْعَبْدُ فَٲَنْتَ نِعْمَ الرَّبُّ عَظُمَ الذَّنْبُ مِنْ عَبْدِکَ فَلْیَحْسُنِ الْعَفْوُ مِنْ عِنْدِکَ یَا کَرِیمُ
You may then repeat the following word one hundred times:
اَلْعَفْوُ اَلْعَفْوُ

Sayyid Ibn Tawus then adds, “Do not spend this day with entertainment and negligence while you do not know whether your deeds have been accepted or rejected. Rather, if you hope for acceptance of your deeds, you must show thanks; and if you anticipate rejection, you must be intensely sad.”
