Du'a Nudba (

The Four Deputies of Imam Mahdi that Imam Mahdi said to read the prayer.[2] However there is a significant school of thought that claims inauthenticity of the Dua.[3]

Reference in Baha'i texts

The Du'a Nudba is referred to in the Kitáb-i-Íqán, written by Baháʼu'lláh, as a testament to the undisputed authority of the manifestation of God to renew the religious code of laws - abrogating old ones and confirming new ones - to ultimately create a new religion.

These lines are specified to illustrate the point: "Where is He Who is preserved to renew the ordinances and laws? Where is He who hath the authority to transform the Faith and the followers thereof?"[4][5]

Baháʼu'lláh comments:

"Behold, how, notwithstanding these and similar traditions, they [those who deny the new manifestation] idly contend that the laws formerly revealed must in no wise be altered. And yet, is not the object of every Revelation to effect a transformation in the whole character of mankind, a transformation that shall manifest itself, both outwardly and inwardly, that shall affect both its inner life and external conditions? For if the character of mankind be not changed, the futility of God’s universal Manifestation would be apparent."[4]
