Shaykh Tabarsi, a famous commentator of the Holy Quran, wrote about this supplication in his book Kunooz al-Najaah. He mentioned that our master, Imam Saaheb al-Zamaan (a.t.f.s.), taught this supplication to Abul Hasan Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Abi al-Lais in Baghdad at the Graves of Quraish (مقابر قريش). Abul Hasan had sought refuge there out of fear for his life, and by the blessings of this supplication, he was saved.
This supplication is connected to Imam Mehdi (a.t.f.s.) and is known to bring immediate help from him. Scholars recommend reciting it frequently. Kafami, in his book Baladul Amin, states that a wrongfully imprisoned person who recites this supplication will soon be released. It is also helpful for anyone facing difficulties, crises, or tight situations.
