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).

==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: | |||
