	The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya was initially a collection of 75 supplications and invocations that Imam al-Sajjad (a) dictated to his two sons, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a) and Zayd b. Ali. For this reason, the original version was written in two copies. [24] Yahya b. Zayd provided the copy written by his father, Zayd, to Mutawakkil b. Harun al-Balkhi (the first narrator of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya). Mutawakkil then took this copy to Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a) and compared it with the copy that had been preserved from Imam al-Baqir (a), finding no discrepancies between the two. Imam al-Sadiq (a) dictated the book to Mutawakkil b. Harun, who wrote it down. However, Mutawakkil lost 11 supplications, leaving only 64 supplications. [25] Some of these 64 supplications were not transmitted to later periods, which is why the existing versions of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya contain only 54 supplications.

			==The Chain of Transmission (Sanad) of the Sahifa Sajjadiyya==
			The most well-known chain of transmission (sanad) of the Sahifa Sajjadiyya, which is mentioned at the beginning of the text, is as follows (though other chains of transmission also exist, some of which share common narrators in parts of the chain):

			Narrated by the noble master, the distinguished star of the faith, the pride of honor, Abu l-Hasan: Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. Ali b. Muhammad b. Umar b. Yahya al-Alawi al-Husayni (may Allah have mercy on him). He said: We were informed by the virtuous Sheikh, Abu Abdullah: Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Shahriyar, the custodian of the treasury of our master, the Commander of the Faithful, Ali b. Abi Talib (peace be upon him), in the month of Rabi' al-Awwal in the year 516 AH (1122 CE), by reading it to him while I was listening. He said: I heard it from the truthful Sheikh, Abu Mansur: Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Abdul'aziz al-'Ukbari al-Mu'adil (may Allah have mercy on him), from Abu l-Mufaddal: Muhammad b. Abdullah b. al-Muttalib al-Shaybani. He said: Narrated to us by the noble, Abu 'Abdullah: Ja'far b. Muhammad b. Ja'far b. al-Hasan b. Ja'far b. al-Hasan b. al-Hasan b. Amir al-Mu'minin Ali b. Abi Talib (peace be upon him). He said: Narrated to us by Abdullah b. Umar b. Khattab al-Zayyat in the year 265 AH (879 CE). He said: Narrated to me by my maternal uncle: Ali b. al-Nu'man al-A'lam. He said:
			Narrated to me by Umayr ibn Mutawakkil al-Thaqafi al-Balkhi, from his father: Mutawakkil b. Harun. He said: I met Yahya b. Zayd b. Ali (peace be upon him).

			These narrators are:

			#Najm al-Din Abu al-Hasan Muhammad b. al-Hasan b. Ahmad b. Ali b. Muhammad b. Umar b. Yahya al-Alawi al-Husayni.
			#Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Shahriyar.
			#Muhammad b. Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Abdulaziz al-Ukbari.
			#Muhammad b. Abdullah b. al-Muttalib al-Shaybani.
			#Abu Abdullah Ja'far b. Muhammad b. Ja'far b. al-Hasan b. Ja'far b. al-Hasan b. al-Hasan b. Amir al-Mu'minin Ali b. Abi Talib.
			#Abdullah b. Umar ibn Khattab al-Zayyat.
			#Ali b. al-Nu'man al-A'lam.
			#'Umayr b. Mutawakkil al-Thaqafi.
			#Mutawakkil b. Harun.

			Umayr b. Mutawakkil al-Thaqafi is the only one who narrated the Sahifa Sajjadiya from his father, Mutawakkil b. Harun, and other narrators (1. Ahmad b. Muslim al-Mutahhari, 2. Ali b. al-Nu'man al-A'lam, 3. Muhammad b. Salih, 4. Husayn b. Ashkib al-Marwazi, 5. Ubaydullah b. Fadl al-Nabhani, 6. Ali b. Hammad b. 'Ala) have also narrated from him. The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya has multiple narrations, with the narration of Baha al-Sharaf being the most famous among them.

			The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya is one of the few books written in the first century of Hijri and has been widely circulated among Shiites from the very beginning. Shaykh al-Mufid (d. 413 AH) in his book al-Irshad; al-Khazzaz al-Qummi in Kifayat al-Athar; Shaykh al-Tusi in his two books al-Fihrist and al-Rijal; and al-Najashi in Rijal al-Najashi have all referred to this book. In addition, Shaykh al-Tusi, in his prayer book Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has included eight supplications from the Sahifa. Qutb al-Rawandi (d. 573 AH); Sayyid ibn Tawus (d. 664 AH); al-Shahid al-Awwal, al-Kaf'ami in Al-Misbah, and others have also included the supplications of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya in their works.

	#Tantawi Jawhari: In the year 1353 AH, the late Shi'a Marja', His Eminence Ayatollah al-Uzma Mar'ashi Najafi (may he rest in peace), sent a copy of the noble book al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiya to the contemporary scholar and author of the Tafsir Tantawi (the Mufti of Alexandria) in Cairo. In response, he wrote the following:"Your esteemed letter arrived some time ago, accompanied by the book al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiya, containing the words of the ascetic Imam of Islam, Ali Zain al-Abidin, son of Imam Husayn, the martyr, the beloved of Mustafa (peace be upon them). I received the book with great reverence and found it to be a unique work, encompassing sciences, knowledge, and wisdom that cannot be found elsewhere. Truly, it is a misfortune for us (the Sunni community) that we have not, until now, come across this precious and eternal masterpiece from the heritage of prophethood and the Ahl al-Bayt.

			#Mr. Andrzej Kowalski, a Christian scholar from Poland: I am deeply impressed by the thoughts of the Imam of Muslims, Imam al-Sajjad (a), whose lofty and sublime ideas are crystallized in the pages of al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya. Studying this precious work and delving into the rich themes and knowledge contained within this book has profoundly affected my soul, captivated me, and bestowed upon me a sense of divinity.
			==Content==
			The content of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya is not merely limited to supplications and expressing needs before God. It has been described as a comprehensive collection of Islamic sciences and knowledge, addressing theological, cultural, social, and even certain natural laws and religious rulings within the framework of prayer.

			Imam al-Sajjad (a) articulated educational, personal, social, and ideological issues through the medium of prayer. By reflecting deeply on its teachings, one can access a treasure trove of divine knowledge. Imam al-Sajjad (a) presents a clear picture of Islamic teachings and the Islamic society of his time in an innovative and unique manner, outlining the duties of Muslims.

			===Harmony with the Quran in Beginning with Praise and Glorification of God===
			The Holy Quran begins with "Alhamdulillah" (All praise is due to God) after "Bismillah al-Rahman al-Rahim." Similarly, the Sahifa Sajjadiyya starts with "Alhamdulillah": "Alhamdu lillahi al-awwali bilā awwalin kāna qablahu; Praise be to God, the First, without any beginning before Him." [9]

			In this prayer, Imam al-Sajjad (a) praises God for His countless blessings and seeks a form of praise that elevates one to the highest ranks, allowing companionship with angels and prophets (peace be upon them). By contemplating God's supremacy over creation—the Absolute and Infinite Being—we gain insight into the Imam's divine perspective. The prayer concludes with a request for what all divine saints aspire to, and it revives the memory of the martyrs: "And through it, we join the ranks of the martyrs, those who were slain by the swords of His enemies. Indeed, He is the Praiseworthy Protector." [10]

			===Precise Analysis of Virtuous Traits===
			The Sahifa Sajjadiyya highlights human vulnerabilities. Some praiseworthy traits have fine boundaries with blameworthy ones, urging individuals to recognize these limits to avoid excess. This is delicately expressed in the Imam's prayers, such as in the "Dua Makarim al-Akhlaq" (Prayer for Noble Morals).

			'''Arrogance''': "Grant me dignity, but do not afflict me with arrogance."* [11] After seeking self-respect, Imam al-Sajjad (a) warns against crossing into arrogance, which can lead to self-importance.

			'''Self-Admiration''': "Make me devoted to You, and do not corrupt my devotion with self-admiration." [11] Worship, despite its importance, is perilously close to self-conceit.

			'''Boasting''' "Let good flow through my hands to others, and do not nullify it by boasting." [11] The danger of good deeds lies in boasting, aligning with the Quranic verse: "O you who believe, do not nullify your charities with reminders of your generosity or injury."* (Quran 2:264)

			===Emulating the Righteous and Divine Saints===
			Humans naturally seek role models to follow. Imam al-Sajjad (a) beautifully addresses this aspect of human nature: "I ask You for the fear of those who worship You, the worship of those who are humble before You, the certainty of those who rely on You, and the reliance of the believers on You. O God, make my desire in my requests like the desire of Your saints, and my fear like their fear. Employ me in Your pleasure in such a way that I do not neglect any part of Your religion out of fear of any of Your creation."

			===The Issue of Imamate and Leadership of the Community===
			Imam al-Sajjad (a) addresses political issues, particularly the concept of "Imamate" and the leadership of the Islamic community, within his prayers. In the 47th prayer of the Sahifa Sajjadiyya, he introduces the rightful Imams through their attributes, guiding truth-seekers to recognize genuine leaders and avoid false claimants.

			Imam al-Sajjad (a) prays for blessings upon the Imams: "O Lord, send blessings upon the pure ones of his household, whom You have chosen for Your command." He then enumerates their qualities:

			#Divinely Chosen: "Those whom You have chosen for Your command."
			#Guardians of Divine Knowledge: "And made them the treasurers of Your knowledge."
			#Protectors of Religion: "And the guardians of Your religion."
			#Divine Representatives on Earth: "And Your vicegerents on earth."
			#Divine Proofs to Humanity: "And Your proofs over Your servants."
			#Endowed with Infallibility: "And purified them from all impurity and defilement by Your will."
			#Means of Approaching God: "And made them the means to reach You."
			#Path to Paradise: "And the way to Your paradise." [13]

			===Theological Issues===
			#Theology: In the 47th prayer, it is stated: "Praise be to You, O Creator of the heavens and the earth, O Possessor of majesty and perfect grace, O Master of all masters, O God of every worshipper, O Creator of every creation, O Heir of all things. Nothing is like Him, and nothing is hidden from Him. He encompasses all things and is the Guardian over all things. You are God; there is no god but You, the One, the Unique, the Peerless."
			#Justice: In the 48th prayer: "I know that Your decree is not unjust, and in Your retribution, there is no haste. O God, if You forgive us, it is out of Your grace, and if You punish us, it is out of Your justice."
			#Prophethood and Imamate: In the 48th prayer: "O God, I seek nearness to You through the high status of Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the noble rank of Ali (peace be upon him). I turn to You through them, seeking refuge from the evil of so-and-so."
			#Resurrection: In the 14th prayer: "O God, if my goodness with You lies in delaying my rights and not punishing the oppressor until the Day of Resurrection, then send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and grant me sincere intention and steadfast patience."

			===Branches of Religion===
			#Prayer: In the 44th prayer, Imam al-Sajjad (a) says: "O God, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and grant us success in this month—the month of Ramadan—to observe the five daily prayers at their appointed times, as You have decreed, and to fulfill their obligations and conditions as You have specified."*
			#Fasting: In the 44th prayer: "Praise be to God, who made one of the paths of His grace the month of Ramadan, the month of fasting, the month of Islam... He prohibited what He had made lawful in other months, and He set a clear time for it."
			#Zakat: In the 44th prayer: "Grant us success in this month to purify our wealth from the rights of others and to cleanse it by giving zakat."
			#Hajj: In the 23rd prayer: "O God, bestow upon me the grace to perform Hajj and Umrah and to visit the grave of Your Prophet, upon whom be peace and blessings."
			#Jihad: In the 27th prayer: *"O God, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, and strengthen the borders of the Muslims with Your might. Fortify their defenders with Your power, and increase their provisions from Your bounty. O God, send blessings upon Muhammad and his family, increase their numbers, sharpen their weapons, protect their territories, and secure their vulnerable points."
			#Enjoining Good and Forbidding Evil: In the 6th prayer: *"Grant us success on this day and night, and all our days, to perform good deeds and to enjoin what is right and forbid what is wrong."
			#Allegiance and Disavowal: In the 6th prayer: "O Lord, I am a friend to those who love You, and through You, I disavow Your enemies. Through the proof, love, and obedience to them, I seek nearness to You." In the 25th prayer: *"Let me die while I am a friend to Your friends and an enemy to Your enemies."

	In addition to the well-known and widely circulated Sahifa, referred to as the Sahifa al-Kamila (the Complete Sahifa), Islamic scholars have compiled five other collections of supplications by Imam Zain al-Abidin (peace be upon him). These have been published under the titles: Al-Sahifa al-Thaniya (the Second Sahifa), Al-Sahifa al-Thalitha (the Third Sahifa), Al-Sahifa al-Rabi'a (the Fourth Sahifa), and Al-Sahifa al-Khamisa (the Fifth Sahifa). [23]		In addition to the well-known and widely circulated Sahifa, referred to as the Sahifa al-Kamila (the Complete Sahifa), Islamic scholars have compiled five other collections of supplications by Imam Zain al-Abidin (peace be upon him). These have been published under the titles: Al-Sahifa al-Thaniya (the Second Sahifa), Al-Sahifa al-Thalitha (the Third Sahifa), Al-Sahifa al-Rabi'a (the Fourth Sahifa), and Al-Sahifa al-Khamisa (the Fifth Sahifa). [23]
			Translation to English:

			==List of Supplications in the *Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya==
			The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya was initially a collection of 75 supplications and invocations that Imam al-Sajjad (a) dictated to his two sons, Imam Muhammad al-Baqir (a) and Zayd b. Ali. For this reason, the original version was written in two copies. [24] Yahya b. Zayd provided the copy written by his father, Zayd, to Mutawakkil b. Harun al-Balkhi (the first narrator of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya). Mutawakkil then took this copy to Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a) and compared it with the copy that had been preserved from Imam al-Baqir (a), finding no discrepancies between the two. Imam al-Sadiq (a) dictated the book to Mutawakkil b. Harun, who wrote it down. However, Mutawakkil lost 11 supplications, leaving only 64 supplications. [25] Some of these 64 supplications were not transmitted to later periods, which is why the existing versions of the Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya contain only 54 supplications. [26]

			Some of the supplications in the Sahifa are specific to particular days (such as the Supplication of Arafah, the Supplication of Farewell to the Month of Ramadan, and the Supplication upon Sighting the Crescent Moon), while others are not tied to a specific day. [27] The Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya contains 54 supplications, and the list of their titles is as follows:
