Translated by Abdur-Rahman ibn Yusuf and published by Whitethread Press (April, 2004) http://www.whitethreadpress.com/?p=135 The act of seeking forgiveness is what gives us the opening we need after feeling overwhelmed by the burden of sin. Forgiveness means a way out, a second chance, a feeling of hope with which to turn a new page in life. It is through the seeking of forgiveness that we begin to understand that there is no reason whatsoever to despair of the mercy of Allah. Islam encourages us to not run away in fear of Allah but rather to turn toward Allah the same way a baby would run into its mother’s lap. So lovingly does Allah, Most High, address His sinful servants: “Say: O My servants—those (of you) who have committed (sins in great) excess against their own souls—never despair of the mercy of Allah! For, indeed, Allah forgives sins, one and all. Indeed, it is He who is the All-Forgiving, the Mercy-Giving. So turn in penitence to your Lord. And submit yourselves to Him.” (Al-Qur’an 39:53–54) This collection of seventy prayers for forgiveness [istighfarat] are attributed to one of the greatest spiritual luminaries of the past, Imam Hasan al-Basri, and it has been presented to offer a way for us to navigate through the complications and pitfalls of this life. Set out in Arabic script, with adjoining translation in English. Below is the event that took place between Imam Hasan al-Basri and eight men he met in Arafat: Imam Hasan al Basri says: I had always wished to see a friend or dear servant of Allah, either while awake or in a dream, so that I could ask him of a need of mine, until one year, while I was standing in Arafat at noon, I suddenly noticed eight people by the Arak (trees) in the vicinity of the Valley of Numān facing the Mount of the Valley of Sakharāt. I resolved that they are the ones I was seeking, so I approached them and greeted them, to which they responded most cordially. Among them was elderly man whose face Allah had illuminated and its brilliance was ascending into the horizon. I sat with them and felt little in myself when I observed the calmness and tranquillity they possessed within them. Then one of them stood up, made call for prayer, and then made the call to commence. At this the elderly man proceeded forth and led them in prayer. I prayed with them, and I knew that there was no prayer - nor would there be any- recorded in my book of deeds with a value like this one. After the prayer, he faced in the direction of KĂ ba and then said: "For Allah is abundant praise" I did not hear him say anything other than that. I feared that my opportunity to be with them [and benefit from them] would pass, or that they would soon leave me, so I said to the one next to me "By Allah, the One Who has chosen you, how have you achieved this [great] status and [moral] excellence?” His face changed, and he opened his eyes [in surprise], upon which the elderly man said to him, "Whomever Allah guides, he is truly guided. Show him the way; may Allah have mercy on you." So the one beside me said to me, 'I used to recite the prayers of forgiveness that save from the Hellfire' during three nights." I asked as to exactly what these prayers were and in which nights they were recited? He said, "I recite them on the nights of the seventh, ninth, tenth of DhĆ«'l Hijja, and if the one reciting them really knows what he is reciting and what words he is uttering, it is incumbent upon Allah to provide him with security on the day of great grief [Judgement Day], and to distinguish him with [His] mercy and friendship." I said, “Teach me these prayers; may Allah Most High have mercy on you." So he said to me, they are
. About Imam Hasan al-Basri: The Narrator, Imam Hasan al-Basri, born in 21 AH and brought up in the house of Umm Salama (radhiallahu ‘anha), had the opportunity to live with many of the Companions (radhiallahu ‘anhum). With his knowledge of the Qur’an and Hadith he excelled many of the learned men of his time. Thabit ibn Qurra says, “In his learning and piety, forbearance and restraint, frankness and large-heartedness, insight and sound judgment, he resembled a bright star.” The reason Hasan al-Basri’s words carried weight with his audience was that he was not simply a preacher, but a man with a noble disposition and soul. His speeches had a magnetism that no other mentor or scholar of Basra or Kufa could attempt to surpass. Whenever he lectured on the hereafter or described the days of the Companions (radhiallahu ‘anhum), the eyes of his audience would be seen brimming with tears. When he passed away on Friday 5th of Rajab 110 AH, at the age 89, the entire population of Basra attended his funeral, so that for the first time in the history of Basra the Jami Masjid of the city remained empty at the hour of the Asr prayer.
