In Arabic “Jaushan” means armor. In olden days people
used to wear metallic dress for protection while in battlefield. Kabeer is the
English word for Great. It was narrated by the Infallible Fourth Imam of the
Muslims, Imam Ali ibnal Hussayn, Zayn al-Abidin (a.s.) from his father, from
his grandfather the Noble Messenger (s.a.w.a.s.) who received it from Angel
Gabriel during one of the battles. The Prophet had a very heavy coat of armor
on to protect himself. The coat was hurting the Prophet. The Angel Gabriel came
to the Prophet and said, “O Muhammad! Your Lord sends salutations to you and
tells you to take out this coat of armor (Jaushan) and recite this Du’a
(instead), as it is a protection for you and your Ummah.” The Angel Gabriel
explained the greatness of this supplication.
Whoever writes this supplication on his burial shroud
(kafan), Allah will not send him to the Hellfire, and whoever recites this
Dua’a with pure intention in the beginning of the month of Ramadan, Allah will
create seventy thousand angels, who will continue praising and Glorifying Allah.
The reward will be given to the reciter.
In addition, whoever recites this supplication three
times during the month of Ramadan, Allah will make Hell fire forbidden to him
and certainly send him to Paradise. Allah will also appoint two angels to protect
him from all evils in this world.
The Du’a consists of one hundred sections, each containing ten
Names or Attributes of Allah. Each section is designated to beseech Allah for various
human needs like cure for different parts of body ailments, increase in
sustenance, overcome difficulties, love and long life, success, solution of
problems, forgiveness etc. At the end of each section, one has to recite a Du’a;
“Subhanaka Ya La Ilaha Illah Antal Ghauas alGhaus Khallisna Minan Nare Ya Rabb”which
means “Praise be to You, there is no God but You, the Grantor of all Succor,
Protect us from the Fire, O Lord”
For example, the Du’a number 7 is to supplicate to Disperse
Calamities: “Ya Ghaferal Khataya; Ya Kashfal Balaya; Ya Muntahar Rajaya; Ya
Mujzelal Ataya; Ya Wahebal Hadaya; Ya Razeqal Baraya; Ya Qazial Manaya; Ya
SameashShakaya; Ya Ba’esal Baraya; Ya Mutleqal Usara.” Which means:
O Forgiver of sins, O Dispeller of tribulations, O Aim of
hopes, O giver of abundant gifts, O Bestower of bounties, O Provider of
creatures, O Judge of destinies, O Hearer of complaints, O Resurrector of
creatures, O Freer of captives. Praise be to You, there is no God but You, the
Grantor of all Succor, Protect us from the Fire, O Lord.”
The complete Dua’a may be seen in any book of Supplications.
