Du'a Arafah

[1] Kaf'ami narrated the Arafah prayer in his al-Balad al-Amin, but in these works the last folio is missing.

[4] One Sunni scholar, Shadhili Sufi master Ibn Ata Allah, studied this prayer.

Although many Shia theologians and philosophers considered the second section as an "integral part" of the prayer, Allamah Majlesi, a theologian and jurisprudent of the Safavids period, suggests that the second part could have been added by one of the Sufi shaykhs on the basis of its being in accordance with the "taste of Sufis".

The steps of human creation until his death and the wonders of nature are described by explaining important issues in various branches of science.

He describes his neediness and asks Allah to help him to be patient in the face of adversity in the world and the hereafter.

Several Shia theologians and scholars of the hadiths have referred to this prayer in their works, including Mulla Sadra, Mohsen Fayz Kashani and Hajj Molla Hadi Sabzavari.

[1] Goodarzi, an ideologist and writer, wrote about the prayer in a book entitled "The Imam Hussein's good sermon".
