Du'a' Kumayl

The Du'a' Kumayl (Arabic: دعاء كميل, lit. 'supplication of Kumayl') is a supplication (du'a') attributed to Ali ibn Abi Talib (d. 661), the first Shia Imam, the fourth Rashidun caliph (r. 656–661), and the cousin and son-in-law of the Islamic prophet Muhammad. It has been transmitted on the authority of Kumayl ibn Ziyad (d. c. 708), a close associate of Ali. This du'a' contains esoteric teachings about divine mercy and repentance, and remains popular especially among Shia Muslims.
