Description

Al-Ṣaḥīfa al-Sajjādiyya (Arabicٱلصَّحِيفَة ٱلسَّجَّادِيَّةlit.‘The Scripture of al-Sajjad’)[a] is a book of supplications attributed to Ali ibn Husayn Zayn al-Abidin (c. 659–713), the great-grandson of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, the fourth Twelver Shi’a Imam and the third Ismaili Shi’a Imam. A seminal work in early Islamic spirituality, the book is considered to be the oldest prayer manual in Islamic sources.[1] Shia tradition regards the book with great respect, ranking it behind the Quran and Ali’s Nahj al-Balagha.[1] Fifty-four supplications form the main body of Al-Sahifa, which often also includes an addenda of fourteen supplications and fifteen munajats (lit. ’whispered prayers’). Al-Sahifa is often regarded as authentic by the specialists in the science of hadith.[2] Chittick describes the book as “one of the deepest veins of Islamic spirituality,”[3] while Husain Mohammad Jafri posits that the supplications in Al-Sahifa embody the answers to many of the spiritual questions faced by the man of our age.
