Is the chain of narration for "Allahumma Kun Li-Waliyyik" dua authentic? From which infallible Imam (AS) has this dua been narrated?
The dua Allahumma Kun Li-Waliyyik, known as the dua of relief and well-being for Imam al-Zaman (AS), is a dua that has been narrated in some reliable Shia sources, such as Al-Kafi and Tahdhib al-Ahkam. In this dua, Allah is asked to be the guardian, protector, helper, and guide of Imam Mahdi (AS).
In these sources, this narration has been transmitted from an infallible (AS), but it is not clear which of the infallibles (AS) is the original source of this dua. There is disagreement among scholars of biographical evaluation regarding the reliability of one of the narrators in the chain of transmission. Some consider him trustworthy and reliable, while others count him as weak and unreliable.
Text and Translation of the Dua
Chain of Narration Analysis
Template:نوشتار اصلی The dua Allahumma Kun Li-Waliyyik, with some variations in its phrases, appears in Al-Kafi[1] and Tahdhib al-Ahkam[2], two of the four primary Shia books, as one of the recommended acts for the 23rd night of Ramadan. This dua is also recommended for recitation on other days.
In the chain of narration mentioned in these two books, Muhammad ibn Isa ibn Ubayd ibn Yaqtin appears as one of the transmitters. Some Shia scholars of biographical evaluation consider him weak.[3] However, Sayyid Abul-Qasim al-Khoei, a Shia religious authority and scholar of biographical evaluation, considered him reliable and trustworthy, and has criticized the opinions that deemed him weak.[4]
In this chain of narration, the name of the Imam from whom the hadith was narrated is not specified. Instead, Al-Kafi refers to "al-Salihin"[1] and Tahdhib al-Ahkam refers to "al-Sadiqin".[2] According to hadith scholars, these terms are exclusively used for the Imams (AS) in narrations; however, it remains unclear which specific Imam is the source.
Sayyid ibn Tawus in his book Iqbal al-A'mal states that this dua has multiple chains of narration. He includes in his book the same chain of narration that appears in Al-Kafi and Tahdhib al-Ahkam.[5]
