Significance of Du`a Abu Hamza Thumali

In Misbah al-Mutahajjid, it has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hamzah Thumali that Imam Ali ibn
al-Husayn Zayn al-Abidin (as) used to offer prayers the whole nights of Ramadan. At the last hour of the
Month of Ramadan nights, he used to recite this supplication.

The Supplication of Abu Hamza al-Thumali is narrated from Imam Sajjad (as) and is one of the most precious
and well-known of prayers, enjoying a high status amongst great scholars. Abi Hamza al-Thumali, the
narrator of this beautiful du'a, was one of the prominent students of Imam Zayn al-'Abidin (a) and this du'a
has been named after him. We should acknowledge and appreciate the great role of the narrators of hadiths
and du'as from the Prophet Muhammad (s) and his household (as) such as Abu Hamza al-Thumali, Kumayl
al-Nakha'i and so on and ask God, the Almighty, to cover them with His mercy. According to Islamic hadiths, a
person should pass on their knowledge and understanding to future generations who may indeed then take
more benefit from the knowledge they have thus received and have a better and more complete
understanding of it.

One of the most precious pieces of supplication that we have received from the Ahl al-Bayt (as) is the
well-known Supplication that Abi Hamza has narrated from the fourth Imam (as).
