The '''supplication of 'Arafa by Imam al-Hussain''' (Arabic: '''دعاء الإمام الحسین یوم عرفة''') is one of [[Shiʿa|Shi'a]] supplications first recorded by [[Hussain ibn Ali|Imam Hussain]]. He recited this [[du’a]]-one of the most famous in Shi'ite annals- one year during the pilgrimage to Mecca on the Day of Arafah (the ninth of Dhu-l-hijjah), and it has been recited by pious Shi'ites ever since. On that day pilgrims pass the time at Mount Arafat occupying themselves with canonical prayer, reciting the Quran, litanies, invocations and supplications. The spirit of the day is well represented in the Imam's prayer, which is full of love and enthusiasm. Although Shi'a scholars consider the supplication as being reported from Imam Hussain, there is doubt regarding its ending part and some deny its attribution to Imam Hussain.
