Dua e Nudba 1.1.2

The Al-Nudba Supplication (دعاء الندبة) stands as one of the most esteemed supplications within the Shi'a tradition, often recommended for recitation during four significant Eids (holidays). Its origins can be traced to Sayyid Radi al-Din 'Ali b. Tawus, who documented it in his authoritative work, Iqbal al-a'amal. Traditionally, this supplication, attributed to Imam al-Sadiq (a), is recited by devotees on Friday mornings prior to sunrise, serving as a poignant expression of lament for Imam al-Mahdi (a).
