This du’a known as “The Supplication of the Paralytic Man,” is quoted from the work of Kaf-ami and from Muhaj al Da-wat by Sayyid ibn Tawus from Imam Ali ibn abi Talib(as) who wrote his du’a and gave it to a paralyzed man instruction to recite after Isha salat.
This du'a known as "supplication of the youth stricken for his sin," is quoted from the work of Kaf-ami and from Muhaj al Da-wat by Sayyid ibn Tawus.
Through Imam Hussain (as), it is reported that one day he and his father, after performing Hajj, caught sight of a paralyzed young man crying his eyes out in repentance. They went near to console him and find out the reason of his sorry plight. He was a habitual sinner, always teased his father, disobeyed him and treated him with contempt. One day, disgusted, the father invoked curse upon him. So he was affected with paralysis.
Then and there Imam Ali ibn abi Talib (as) wrote his du'a and gave it to him with instruction to recite after Isha salat. Next day fully cured, he came to Imam Ali and said that he had recited the du'a as told and went to sleep. He saw the Holy Prophet (pbuh) in the dream. The Holy Prophet, gently touched his body with his hand and asked him to remember this du'a as it contain ismi azam (the great name of Allah).
Recite this du'a after Isha salat. It brings countless blessings. All your legitimate desires will be fulfilled. It drives away poverty and sickness. Sins are for given. Debts are cleared. Enemies become friends. Domestic affairs are set aright. Disputes are settled in your favor. Prisoners are set free mental worries disappear. Prosperity, sound mind and healthy body stand by you at all times.
Mercy and forgiveness of sins are the main advantages the almighty Allah makes available if this du'a is recited regularly.

O Allah! O Allah! O Allah!
يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحْمٰنُ يَا رَحْمٰنُ
O All-merciful! O All-merciful! O All-merciful!
يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَحِيمُ يَا رَحِيمُ
O All-compassionate! O All-compassionate! O All-compassionate!
يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَ لِ وَٱلإِكْرَامِ
O Lord of majesty and honor!
يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَ لِ وَٱلإِكْرَامِ
O Lord of majesty and honor!
يَا ذَا ٱلْجَلاَلِ وَٱلإِكْرَامِ
O Lord of majesty and honor!
بِهِ بِهِ بِهِ بِهِ بِهِ بِهِ بِهِ
By Him! By Him! By Him! By Him! By Him! By Him! By Him!
اسْالُكَ بِكُلِّ ٱسْمٍ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ
I beseech You by every Name with which You have named Yourself
اوْ انْزَلْتَهُ فِي شَيْءٍ مِنْ كُتُبِكَ
or which You have sent down in one of Your scriptures
اوِ ٱسْتَاثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ ٱلْغَيْبِ ٱلَّذِي عِنْدَكَ
or kept for Yourself in the knowledge of the Unseen with You,
وَبِمَعَاِقدِ ٱلْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ
by the junctures of might for Your Throne,
وَبِمُنْتَهَىٰ ٱلرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ
by the utmost limit of mercy from Your Book,
وَبِمَا ﴿وَلَوْ انّ َمَا فِي ٱلارْضِ مِنْ شَجَرَةٍ اقْلاَمٌ
by the fact that, “though all the trees in the earth were pens
وَٱلْبَحْرُ يَمُدُّهُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ سَبْعَةُ ابْحُرٍ
and the sea – seven seas after it to replenish it,
مَا نَفِدَتْ كَلِمَاتُ ٱللَّهِ
yet the words of Allah not be spent.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَزِيزٌ حَكِيمٌ﴾
Allah is All-mighty, All-wise.”
وَاسْالُكَ بِاسْمَائِكَ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ
And I beseech You by Your Most Excellent Names
ٱلَّتِي نَعَتَّهَا فِي كِتَابِكَ فَقُلْتَ:
that You have described in Your book thus saying,
﴿وَلِلَّهِ ٱلاسْمَاءُ ٱلْحُسْنَىٰ فَٱدْعُوهُ بِهَا﴾
“To Allah belong the Most Excellent Names, so call Him by them!”
وَقُلْتَ: ﴿ادْعُونِي اسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ﴾
And You said: “Call upon Me and I will answer you.”
وَقُلْتَ: ﴿وَإِذَا سَالَكَ عِبَادِي عَنِّي فَإِنِّي قَرِيبٌ
And You said: “And when My servants ask you concerning Me, then surely I am very near;
اجِيبُ دَعْوَةَ ٱلدَّاعِي إِذَا دَعَانِي﴾
I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls on Me.”
وَقُلْتَ: ﴿قُلْ يَا عِبَادِي ٱلَّذِينَ اسْرَفُوا عَلَىٰ انْفُسِهِمْ
And You said: “Say: O My servants who have been prodigal against yourselves;
لاَ تَقْنَطُوا مِنْ رَحْمَةِ ٱللَّهِ
do not despair of Allah’s mercy.
إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَغْفِرُ ٱلذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعاً
Surely, Allah forgives all sins.
إِنَّهُ هُوَ ٱلْغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ﴾
Surely, He is the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate.”
وَانَا اسْالُكَ يَا إِلٰهِي
And I ask You, O my God,
وَادْعُوكَ يَا رَبِّ
I call You, O my Lord,
وَارْجَوكَ يَا سَيِّدِي
I please You, O my Master,
وَاطْمَعُ فِي إِجَابَتِي يَا مَوْلايَ كَمَا وَعَدتَّنِي
and I desire for You to respond to me, O my Protector, just as You have promised me—
وَقَدْ دَعَوْتُكَ كَمَا امَرْتَنِي
for I have called You just as You have commanded me.
فَٱفْعَلْ بِي مَا انتَ اهْلُهُ يَا كَرِيمُ
So, do to me what is worthy of You, O All-generous!
وَٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ ٱلْعَالَمِينَ
All praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds.
وَصَلَّىٰ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ اجْمَعِينَ
May Allah bless Muhammad and his entire Household.
