صلاة بر الوالدين بعد موتهما

---

On the authority of Imam al-Baqir (peace be upon him), he said:
A servant may be dutiful to his parents while they are alive, but when they die, he does not settle their debts or seek forgiveness for them; Allah then records him as disobedient. And it may also happen that a person is disobedient to his parents while they are alive, but when they die, he settles their debts and seeks forgiveness for them; Allah then records him as dutiful.

Thus, a person can make up for what he neglected toward his parents. This is one of the greatest blessings for a person: to please his parents and please his Lord. By doing so, a person can transform from being disobedient to being dutiful, from being one who incurs divine displeasure to one who earns divine pleasure.

Among the acts of dutifulness to parents are the following prayers, which have extraordinary effects according to the noble narrations. The child prays them for their parents, and each is two rak‘ahs:

First rak‘ah:
Recite Al-Fatiha and then ten times:
"O Lord, forgive me and my parents and the believers on the Day of Judgment."

Second rak‘ah:
Recite Al-Fatiha and then ten times:
"O Lord, forgive me and my parents, and whoever enters my house as a believer, and the believing men and women."

After completing the prayer, say ten times:
"O Lord, have mercy on them as they raised me when I was small, reward them with goodness for their good deeds, and forgive them for their sins. Indeed, You are the Forgiving, the Merciful."

Then say:
"My Lord, I have prayed, bowed, and prostrated to You alone, with no partner. For prayer, bowing, and prostration are only for You. So accept it from me, and send its reward to the grave of my parents (mention your parents’ names)."

On the authority of Imam al-Sadiq (peace be upon him), he said:
"Nothing prevents any of you from being dutiful to your parents, whether they are alive or dead: praying for them, giving charity on their behalf, performing Hajj on their behalf, or fasting on their behalf. Whatever a person does for them, Allah grants the same reward for them and increases them in goodness and blessings."

Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha (peace be upon him) said:
"Allah the Almighty commanded three things paired with three others: He commanded prayer and charity; whoever prays but does not give charity, his prayer is not accepted. He commanded gratitude to Him and to parents; whoever does not thank their parents, has not thanked Allah. He commanded fearing Allah and maintaining kinship ties; whoever does not maintain kinship has not truly feared Allah the Almighty."

عن الإمام الباقر عليه السلام قال: إن العبد ليكون باراً بوالديه في حياتهما ثم يموتان فلا يقضي عنهما دينهما ولا يستغفر لهما فيكتبه اللَّه عاقاً وإنه ليكون عاقاً بهما في حياتهما غير بار بهما فإذا ماتا قضى دينهما واستغفر لهما فيكتبه اللَّه تعالى باراً .
إذن يستطيع الإنسان أن يتدارك ما فرط أتجاه والديه وهذا من أكبر النعم على الإنسان أن يرضي والديه ويرضي ربه وبيديه يتحول من عاق الى بار من مغضوب عليه الى مرضي

ومن أعمال البر بالوالدين هذه الصلوات التي لها أثار عجيبه كما في الروايات الشريفة ، يصليها الولد لوالديه وهي ركعتان

الأولى : الفاتحة و ( 10 ) مرات ( رب اغفر لي ولوالدي وللمؤمنين يوم يقوم الحساب ) .

الثانية : الفاتحة و ( 10 ) مرات ( رب اغفر لي ولوالدي ولمن دخل بيتي مؤمناً وللمؤمنين والمؤمنات ) .

فإذا سلمت فقل ( 10 ) مرات : (( رب ارحمهما كما ربياني صغيراً واجزهما بالاحسان إحساناً وبالسيئات غفراناً ، إنك أنت الغفور الرحيم )) .

ثم تقول : ربي إني صليت وركعت وسجدت لك وحدك ، لا شريك لك ، لأن الصلاة والركوع والسجود لا تكون إلا لك ، فتقبلها مني ، وابعث بثوابها لقبر والديّ ( واذكر اسم والديك ) .

وعن الإمام الصادق عليه السلام قال: (ما يمنع الرجل منكم أن يبر والديه حيين أو ميتين يصلي عنهما و يتصدق عنهما و يحج عنهما ويصوم عنهما فيكون الذي صنع لهما وله مثل ذلك فيزيده اللَّه عزوجل ببره وصلته خيراً كثيراً) .

يقول الاِمام علي بن موسى الرِّضا عليه السلام :
( إن الله عزوجل أمر بثلاثة مقرون بها ثلاثة اخرى : أمر بالصلاة
والزكاة فمن صلى ولم يزك لم تقبل منه صلاته ، وأمر بالشكر له وللوالدين ،
فمن لم يشكر والديه لم يشكر الله ، وأمر باتقاء الله وصلة الرحم ، فمن لم يصل
رحمه لم يتق الله عزوجل )
