Dua Abu Hamza al-Thumali
Reviewed by Sayed Ammar Mahdi — Al Zahra Learning Center
إِلَهِي لَا تُؤَدِّبْنِي بِعُقُوبَتِكَ
“My God, do not discipline me by Your punishment…”
This profound supplication was taught by Imam Ali Zayn al-Abidin al-Sajjad (a.s.) to his companion Abu Hamza al-Thumali. It is recited at sahar (the pre-dawn hours) during the month of Ramadan, and is treasured for its intimate tone of hope, repentance, and trust in Allah’s mercy.
