2303.كمال الدين عن عبد اللَّه بن سنان : قال أبو عبد اللَّه عليه السلام : سَتُصيبُكُم شُبهَةٌ فَتَبقُونَ بِلا عَلَمٍ يُرى‏ ولا إمامٍ هدى‏ ، ولا يَنجُو مِنها إلّا مَن دَعا بدُعاءِ الغَريقِ. قلتُ : كيفَ دعاءُ الغَريقِ ؟ قالَ : يقولُ : «يا اللَّهُ يا رحمنُ يا رحيمُ يا مُقَلِّبَ القُلوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلبِي على‏ دِينِكَ» .¹

2303.Imam al-Sadiq (AS) said, 'You will be afflicted with an obscure matter that will leave you with no sign to indicate to the solution, nor a leader to guide the way. None shall be saved from it except the one who recites the 'Supplication of the Drowning Person'. [The narrator says] I asked the Imam, 'What is the Supplication of the Drowning Person?' The Imam replied, 'O Allah, O the Beneficent, O the Merciful, O He who causes the hearts to fluctuate, affirm my heart upon Your religion.' ²
