The litany
Ḥizb al-Baḥr, the Litany of the Sea, is attributed to Abū l-Ḥasan al-Shādhilī (d. 656/1258), the founder of the Shādhilī way. It asks for protection and for the sea to be subjected, as it was to Moses, and it moves between the author's own prayer and verses of the Qurʾān.
Its text was already circulating within two generations: the wording here comes from a question put to Ibn Taymiyya (d. 728/1328), who quotes it in full in order to answer it.
Also known as: the Litany of the Sea · Hizbul Bahr · Hizb al-Bahr · Hizib Bahr · حزب البحر.
The objections
Ibn Taymiyya's reply holds that no one should gather people on acts of worship not established in the law, least of all as a set habit, and goes on to object to the text's wording. IslamQA (no. 419237) advises keeping to the supplications reported from the Prophet and avoiding such litanies. It remains widely recited, as the recordings below show. We report these views and do not rule between them.

The Arabic is the text as quoted in Ibn Taymiyya's al-Radd ʿalā al-Shādhilī, on al-Maktaba al-Shāmila, which we read as text, without checking page images. We changed one phrase to match the recording; clause 47's note says which. Its editor notes that other copies run about half a page longer, so this is a shorter form than some you will hear.
