58) His Supplication in Calling down Blessings upon Adam

(58) و كان من دعائه ( عليه السلام ) في الصلاة على آدم عليه السلام

1ـ أَللَّهُمَّ وَآدَمُ

بَدِيعُ فِطْرَتِكَ،

وَأَوَّلُ مُعْتَرِف مِنَ الطِّينِ بِرُبوبِيَّتِكَ،

وَبَدْوُ حُجَّتِكَ عَلى عِبادِكَ وَبَرِيَّتِكَ،

وَالدَّلِيلُ عَلَى الاسْتِجَارَةِ بِعَفْوِكَ مِنْ عُقُوبَتِكَ،

وَالنَّاهِجُ سُبُلَ تَوْبَتِكَ،

وَالْمُوَسَّلُ بَيْنَ الْخَلْقِ وَبَيْنَ مَعْرِفَتِكَ.

2. وَالَّذِي لَقَّنْتَهُ مَا رَضَيْتَ بِهِ عَنْهُ،

بِمَنِّكَ عَلَيْهِ وَرَحْمَتِكَ.

3. وَالْمُنِيبُ الَّذِي لَمْ يُصِرَّ عَلَى مَعْصِيَتِكَ،

وَسآبِقُ الْمُتَذَلِّلِينَ

بِحَلْقِ رَأْسِهِ فِي حَرَمِكَ،

وَالْمُتَوَسِّلُ بَعْدَ الْمَعْصِيَةِ

بِالطَّاعَةِ إلى عَفْوِكَ،

وَأَبُو الاَنْبِيآءِ

الَّذِينَ أُوذُوا فِي جَنْبِكَ،

وَأَكْثَرُ سُكَّانِ الاَرْضِ سَعْياً فِي طاعَتِكَ.

4. فَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ أَنْتَ يا رَحْمنُ،

وَمَلائِكَتُكَ، وَسُكَّانُ سَمواتِكَ وَأَرْضِكَ

كَما عَظَّمَ حُرُماتِكَ،

وَدَلَّنا عَلى سَبِيلِ مَرْضَاتِكَ

يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

1- O God, as for Adam,

the marvel of Thy creation,

the first made of clay to confess Thy Lordship,

the beginning of Thy argument against Thy servants and creatures,

the guide to seeking sanctuary in Thy pardon

from Thy punishment,

the opener of the paths of repentance toward Thee,

the giver of the creatures access to knowledge of Thee,

2- the one concerning whom Thou hast conveyed Thy good pleasure

through Thy kindness and Thy mercy toward him,

3- the one who turned back and did not persist in disobeying Thee,

the forerunner among the self-abasers,

who shaved his head in Thy sacred precinct,

and among the seekers of access to Thy pardon,

through obedience after disobedience,

and the father of the prophets,

who were made to suffer for Thy sake

and who strove more than all the earth's inhabitants in obeying Thee –

4- bless him, Thou - O All-merciful -

Thy angels, and the inhabitants of Thy heavens

and Thy earth,

just as he magnified Thy inviolable commands

and guided us upon the path of Thy good pleasure,

O Most Merciful of the merciful!

59) His Supplication in Distress and Seeking Release

(59) وكان من دعائه ( عليه السلام ) في الكرب والاقالة

1. إلهِي لا تُشْمِتْ بِي عَدُوِّي،

وَلاَ تَفْجَعْ بِي حَمِيمِي وَصَدِيقِي.

2. إلهي هَبْ لِي لَحْظَةً مِنْ لَحَظاتِكَ

تَكْشِفُ عَنِّي مَا ابْتَلَيْتَنِي بِهِ،

وَتُعِيدُنِي إلَى أَحْسَنِ عَادَاتِكَ عِنْدِي،

وَاسْتَجِبْ دُعَائِي

وَدُعَاءَ مَنْ أَخْلَصَ لَكَ دُعآءَهُ،

فَقَدْ ضَعُفَتْ قُوَّتِي،

وَقَلَّتْ حِيلَتِي،

وَاشْتَدَّتْ حَالِي،

وَأَيِسْتُ مِمَّا عِنْدَ خَلْقِكَ

فَلَمْ يَبْقَ لِي إلاَّ رَجآؤُكَ عَلَيَّ.

3. إلهِي إنَّ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلَى كَشْفِ مَا أَنَا فِيهِ

كُقُدْرَتِكَ عَلى مَا ابْتَلَيْتَنِي بِهِ،

وَإنَّ ذِكْرَ عَوآئِدِكَ يُونِسُنِي،

وَالرَّجآءُ فِي إنْعَامِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ يُقَوِّينِي;

لاِنِّي لَمْ أَخْلُ مِنْ نِعْمَتِكَ

مُنْذُ خَلَقْتَنِي.

4. وَأَنْتَ إلهِي مَفْزَعِي وَمَلْجَأي،

وَالْحَافِظُ لِي وَالذَّآبُّ عَنِّي،

5. الْمُتَحَنِّنُ عَلَيَّ، الرَّحِيمُ بِيَ،

الْمُتَكَفِّلُ بِرِزْقِي

فِي قَضآئِكَ كَان ما حَلَّ بِي،

وَبِعِلْمِكَ مَا صِرْتُ إلَيْهِ.

6. فَاجْعَلْ يا وَلِيِّي وَسَيِّدِي

فِيما قَدَّرْتَ وَقَضَيْتَ عَلَيَّ، وَحَتَمْتَ

عافِيَتِي، وَما فِيهِ صَلاَحِي

وَخَلاصِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ;

7. فَإنِّي لا أَرْجُو لِدَفْعِ ذلِكَ غَيْرَكَ، وَلا أَعْتَمِدُ فِيهِ إلاَّ عَلَيْكَ.

8. فَكُنْ يا ذَا الْجَلاَلِ وَالاِكْرَامِ، عِنْدَ أَحْسَنِ ظَنِّي بِكَ.

9. وَارْحَمْ ضَعْفِي وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي،

وَاكْشِفْ كُرْبَتِي،

وَاسْتَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي،

وَأَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي،

وَامْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِذلِكَ،

وَعَلى كُلِّ داع لَكَ.

أَمَرْتَنِي يا سَيِّدِي بِالدُّعآءِ،

وَتَكَفَّلْتَ بِالاجابَةِ،

وَوَعْدُكَ الْحَقُّ الَّذِي لا خُلْفَ فِيهِ وَلا تَبْدِيلَ.

10. فَصَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّد نَبِيِّكَ وَعَبْدِكَ،

وَعَلَى الطَّاهِرِينَ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ،

وَأَغِثْنِي;

فَإنَّكَ غِياثُ مَنْ لا غِيَاثَ لَهُ،

وَحِرْزُ مَنْ لا حِرْزَ لَهُ،

وَأَنَا الْمُضْطَرُّ الَّذِي أَوْجَبْتَ إجابَتَهُ،

وَكَشْفَ ما بِهِ مِنَ السُّوءِ.

11. فَأَجِبْنِي، وَاكْشِفْ هَمِّي

وَفَرِّجْ غَمِّي،

وَأَعِدْ حالِي إلى أَحْسَنِ ما كانَتْ عَلَيْهِ

وَلا تُجازِنِي بِالاسْتِحْقاقِ،

وَلكِنْ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيْء

يا ذَا الْجَلالِ وَالإِكْرامِ،

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد،

وَاسْمَعْ وَأَجِبْ يا عَزِيزُ.

1- My God, let not my enemy gloat over me

and torment not my dear kinsman or friend through me!

2- My God,

of Thy glances, give me one glance,

and thereby remove from me that by which Thou hast afflicted me

and return me to the best of Thy customs with me!

Respond to my supplication

and the supplication of him who devotes his supplication sincerely to Thee,

for my power has become frail,

my stratagems few,

my situation severe,

and I despair of what is with Thy creatures,

so nothing remains for me but hope in Thee!

3- My God, surely Thy power to remove that in which I dwell

is like Thy power in that with which Thou hast afflicted me!

And surely the remembrance of Thy acts of kindliness comforts me

and hope in Thy showing favour and Thy bounty strengthens me,

for I have not been without Thy favour ever since Thou created me.

4- And Thou, my God, art my place of flight,

my asylum,

my protector, my defender,

5- the loving toward me, the compassionate,

and the guarantor of my provision.

In Thy decree lay what has settled upon me

and in Thy knowledge that to which I have come home.

6- So, my Patron and Master, place

within that which Thou hast ordained, decreed,

and made unavoidable for me,

my well-being and that wherein lies my soundness

and my deliverance from that in which I am!

7- I hope for none to repel this other than Thee,

and I rely in it only upon Thee.

8- O Possessor of majesty and munificence,

be with my best opinion of Thee!8

9- Have mercy upon my frailty and the paucity of my stratagems,

remove my distress,

grant my supplication,

ease me from my stumble,

and show kindness to me in that

and to everyone who supplicates Thee!

My Master, Thou hast commanded me to supplicate

and undertaken to respond,9

and Thy promise is the truth

in which there is no failing, nor any change.10

10- So bless Muhammad, Thy prophet and servant,

and the pure, the Folk of his House,

and help me,

surely Thou art the help of him who has no help

and the stronghold of him who has no stronghold,

while I am the distressed

the response to whom and the removal of evil from whom Thou hast made obligatory!11

11- So respond to me, remove my concern,

relieve my gloom,

return my state to the best it has been,

and repay me not according to what I deserve,

but according to Thy mercy which embracest all things,12

O Possessor of majesty and munificence!

Bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

hear, and respond,

O All-mighty!

60) His Supplication against that which he Feared and Dreaded

(60) وكان من دعائه ( عليه السلام ) ممّا يحذره ويخافه

60) His Supplication against that which he Feared and Dreaded13

1. إلهِي إنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَرُدُّ غَضَبَكَ إلاَّ حِلْمُكَ،

وَلاَ يُنْجِي مِنْ عِقَابِكَ إلاَّ عَفْوُكَ،

وَلاَ يُخَلِّصُ مِنْكَ إلاَّ رَحْمَتُكَ وَالتَّضَرُّعُ إلَيْكَ.

2 ـ فَهَبْ لِي يا إلهِي فَرَحاً بِالْقُدْرَةِ

الَّتِي بِهَا تُحْيِي مَيْتَ الْبِلادِ،

وَبِها تَنْشُرُ أَرْواحَ الْعِبادِ،

وَلا تُهْلِكْنِي،

وَعَرِّفْنِي الإجابَةَ يارَبِّ،

وَارْفَعْنِي وَلا تَضَعْنِي،

وَانْصُرْنِي، وَارْزُقْنِي،

وَعافِنِي مِنَ الآفاتِ.

3. يارَبِّ إنْ تَرْفَعْنِي فَمَنْ يَضَعُنِي؟

وَإنْ تَضَعْنِي فَمَنْ يَرْفَعُنِي؟

وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ يا إلهِي أَنْ لَيْسَ فِي حُكْمِكَ ظُلْمٌ،

وَلا فِي نَقِمَتِكَ عَجَلَةٌ،

إنَّما يَعْجَلُ مَنْ يَخافُ الْفَوْتَ،

وَيَحْتاجُ إلَى الظُّلْمِ الضَّعِيفُ،

وَقَدْ تَعالَيْتَ عَنْ ذلِكَ يا سَيِّدِي عُلُوَّاً كَبِيراً.

4. رَبِّ لا تَجْعَلْنِي لِلْبَلاءِ غَرَضَاً،

وَلا لِنَقِمَتِكَ نَصَباً،

وَمَهِّلْنِي وَنَفِّسْنِي،

وَأَقِلْنِي عَثْرَتِي،

وَلا تُتْبِعْنِي بِالْبَلاءِ،

فَقَدْ تَرى ضَعْفِي وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي،

فَصَبِّرْنِي، فَإنّي يارَبِّ ضَعِيفٌ

مُتَضَرِّعٌ إلَيْكَ يا رَبِّ.

5. وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْكَ، فَأَعِذْنِي.

6. وَأَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ بَلاء،

فَأَجِرْنِي.

7. وَأَسْتَتِرُ بِكَ،

فَاسْتُرْنِي يا سَيِّدِي مِمَّا أَخافُ وَأَحْذَرُ.

8. وَأَنْتَ الْعَظِيمُ أَعْظَمُ مِنْ كُلِّ عَظِيم.

9. بِكَ بِكَ بِكَ اسْتَتَرْتُ.

10. يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ

يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ

يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ يا أَللَّهُ

صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ.

1- My God,

nothing repels Thy wrath but Thy clemency,

nothing delivers from Thy punishment but Thy pardon,

nothing rescues from Thee but Thy mercy and pleading to Thee!14

2- So give me, my God, relief by means of the power

through which Thou bringest the dead lands to life

and revivest the spirits of the servants!15

Destroy me not,

and give me the knowledge of Thy response,

my Lord!

Raise me up and push me not down,

help me, provide for me,

and release me from every blight!

3- My Lord,

if Thou raisest me up, who will push me down?

If Thou pushest me down, who will raise me up?

But I know, my God, that there is no wrong in Thy decree,

and no hurry in Thy vengeance.

He alone hurries who fears to miss,

and only the weak needs to wrong.

But Thou art exalted, my Master,

high indeed above all that!

4- My Lord,

make me not the target of affliction

nor the object of Thy vengeance,

respite me, comfort me,

release me from my stumble,

and send not affliction after me,

for Thou hast seen my frailty, and the paucity of my stratagems.

So give me patience, for I, my Lord, am weak,

and I plead to Thee, my Lord!

5- I seek refuge in Thee from Thee,

so give me refuge!16

6- I seek sanctuary in Thee from every affliction,

so grant me sanctuary!

7- I cover myself through Thee,

so cover me, my Master,

from what I fear and dread!

8- Thou art the All-mighty,

mightier than every mighty thing!

9- Through Thee, through Thee, through Thee,

I cover myself.

10- O God, O God, O God,

O God, O God, O God,

O God, O God, O God, O God!

Bless Muhammad and his Household,

the good, the pure!

protect me with Thy eye, which never sleeps,

and seal my affiar by cutting me off from everything but Thee

and my life with forgiveness!

Surely Thou art the All-forgiving, the All-compassionate!

لَمْ يُشْهِدْ أَحَدَاً

حِينَ فَطَرَ السَّمواتِ وَالاَرْضَ،

وَلاَ اتَّخَذَ مُعِيناً حِينَ بَرَأَ النَّسَماتِ.

2. لَمْ يُشارَكْ فِي الالهِيَّةِ،

وَلَمْ يُظَاهَرْ فِي الْوَحْدانِيَّةِ.

3. كَلَّتِ الاَلْسُنُ عَنْ غايَةِ صِفَتِهِ،

وَ انْحَسَرَتِ الْعُقُولُ عَنْ كُنْهِ مَعْرِفَتِهِ،

وَتَوَاضَعَتِ الْجَبابِرَةُ لِهَيْبَتِهِ،

وَعَنَتِ الْوُجُوهُ لِخَشْيَتِهِ،

وَانْقَادَ كُلُّ عَظِيم لِعَظَمَتِهِ.

4. فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مُتَوَاتِراً مُتَّسِقاً،

وَمُتَوَالِياً مُسْتَوْسِقَاً.

5. وَصَلَواتُهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ أَبَدَاً،

وَسَلامُهُ دَآئِماً سَرْمَدَاً.

6. أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ أَوَّلَ يَوْمِي هذَا صَلاحَاً،

وَأَوْسَطَهُ فَلاحَاً،

وَآخِرَهُ نَجاحَاً،

وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ يَوْم أَوَّلُهُ فَزَعُ،

وَأَوْسَطُهُ جَزَعٌ، وَآخِرُهُ وَجَعٌ.

7. أَللَّهُمَّ إنِّي أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ

لِكُلِّ نَذْر نَذَرْتُهُ،

وَلِكُلِّ وَعْد وَعَدْتُهُ،

وَلِكُلِّ عَهْد عاهَدْتُهُ،

ثُمَّ لَمْ أَفِ لَكَ بِهِ.

8. وَأَسْأَلُكَ فِي مَظالِمِ عِبادِكَ عِنْدِي،

فَأَيُّما عَبْد مِنْ عَبِيدِكَ،

أَوْ أَمَة مِنْ إمآئِكَ،

كَانَتْ لَهُ قِبَلِي مَظْلَمَةٌ ظَلَمْتُها إيَّاهُ فِي نَفْسِهِ،

أَوْ فِي عِرْضِهِ، أَوْ فِي مالِهِ،

أَوْ فِي أَهْلِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ،

أَوْ غَيْبَةٌ اغْتَبْتَهُ بِها،

أَوْ تَحامُلٌ عَلَيْهِ بِمَيْل

أَوْ هَوَىً، أَوْ أَنَفَة، أَوْ حَمِيَّة، أَوْ رِيآء، أَوْ عَصَبِيَّة

غائِباً كانَ أَوْ شاهِداً، وَحَيّاً كانَ أَوْ مَيِّتاً،

فَقَصُرَتْ يَدِي، وَضاقَ وُسْعِي عَنْ رَدِّها إلَيْهِ،

وَالتَّحَلُّلِ مِنْهُ.

9. فَأَسْأَلُكَ يا مَنْ يَمْلِكُ الْحاجاتِ،

وَهِيَ مُسْتَجِيبَةٌ بِمَشِيَّتِهِ، وَمُسْرِعَةٌ إلى إرادَتِهِ،

أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد ،

وَأَنْ تُرْضِيَهُ عَنِّي بِما شِئْتَ،

وَتَهَبَ لِي مِنْ عِنْدِكَ رَحْمَةً،

إنَّهُ لا تَنْقُصُكَ الْمَغْفِرَةُ،

وَلا تَضُرُّكَ المَوْهِبَةُ

يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

10. أَللَّهُمَّ أَوْلِنِي فِي كُلِّ يَوْمِ اثْنَيْنِ نِعْمَتَيْنِ مِنْكَ ثِنْتَيْنِ:

سَعادَةً فِي أَوَّلِهِ بِطاعَتِكَ،

وَنِعْمَةً فِي آخِرِهِ بِمَغْفِرَتِكَ

يامَنْ هُوَ الاِلهُ،

وَلا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ سِواهُ.

In the Name of God, the All-Merciful,

the All-compassionate

1- Praise belongs to God,

who allowed none to witness

when He created the heavens and the earth,

and who took no helper when He authored the spirits!

2- He has no associate in Divinity

and no support in Unity.

3- Tongues fall silent before the limit of describing Him,

intellects fail before the core of knowing Him,

tyrants fall low in awe of Him,

faces are humbled in fear of Him,2

and everything mighty yields to His mightiness!

4- So to Thee belongs praise,

again and again, well-measured,

continually, methodically!

5- And may His blessings be upon His Messenger endlessly,

His salutation everlastingly, eternally!

6- O God, make

the beginning of this day of mine righteousness, its middle prosperity,

and its end success!

I seek refuge in Thee

from a day whose beginning is fright,

whose middle is anxiety,

and whose end is pain!

7- O God,

I pray forgiveness from Thee

for every vow I have vowed,

every promise I have promised,

and every pledge I have pledged

and then failed to keep for Thee.

8- I ask Thee concerning the complaints of Thy servants against me:

If there is a servant from among Thy servants

or a handmaid from among Thy handmaids,

who has against me

a complaint because I have wronged him in respect to himself,

his reputation, his property,

his wife or his child,

evil words I have spoken about him in his absence,

an imposition upon him through inclination,

caprice, scorn, zeal, false show, bigotry, whether he be absent or present, alive or dead,

such that my hand has fallen short

and my capacity has been too narrow to make restitution to him

or to annul my obligation to him,

9- I ask Thee,

O He who owns all objects of need

- which are granted by His will and hasten to His desire -

that Thou blessest Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,

makest [the one I have wronged] satisfied with me in the manner that Thou willest,

and givest me mercy from Thee!

Forgiveness decreases Thee not

and giving injures Thee not,

O Most Merciful of the merciful!

10- O God,

give me on every Monday two favours from Thee:

the felicity to obey Thee at its beginning

and the favour of Thy forgiveness at its end!

O He who is God

and none other than whom grants forgiveness for sins!

The Supplication for Tuesday

دعاء يوم الثلاثاء

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

1. أَلْحَمْدُ للّهِ

وَالْحَمْدُ حَقُّهُ كَما يَسْتَحِقُّهُ حَمْداً كَثِيراً.

2. وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ نَفْسِي،

إنَّ النَّفْسَ لاَمَّارَةٌ بِالسُّوءِ إلاَّ ما رَحِمَ رَبِّي،

3. وَأَعُوذُ بِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ

الَّذِي يَزِيدُنِي ذَنْباً إلَى ذَنْبِي،

4. وَأَحْتَرِزُ بِهِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَبَّار فاجِر،

وَسُلْطان جآئر، وَعَدُوٍّ قاهِر.

5. أَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِي مِنْ جُنْدِكَ

فَإنَّ جُنْدَكَ هُمُ الْغالِبُونَ،

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ حِزْبِكَ

فَإنَّ حِزْبَكَ هُمُ الْمُفْلِحُونَ،

وَاجْعَلْنِي مِنْ أَوْلِيآئِكَ;

فَإنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَكَ لا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ.

6. أَللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِيْنِي

فَإنَّهُ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي،

وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي فَإنَّهَا دارُ مَقَرِّي،

وَإلَيْها مِنْ مُجاوَرَةِ اللِّئامِ مَفَرِّي،

وَاجْعَلِ الْحَياةَ زِيادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْر،

وَالْوَفاةَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ.

7. أَللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد خاتَمِ النَّبِيِّينَ

وَتَمَامِ عِدَّةِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ

وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ، وَأَصْحَابِهِ الْمُنْتَجَبِينَ

وَهَبْ لِي فِي الثُلُثآءِ ثَلاثاً:

8. لا تَدَعْ لِي ذَنْباً إلاَّ غَفَرْتَهُ،

وَلا غَمّاً إلاَّ أَذْهَبْتَهُ،

وَلا عَدُوّاً إلاَّ دَفَعْتَهُ

.بِسْمِ اللهِ خَيْرِ الاَسْمآءِ،

بِسْمِ اللهِ رَبِّ الاَرْضِ وَالسَّمآءِ،

9. أَسْتَدْفِعُ كُلَّ مَكْرُوه أَوَّلُهُ سَخَطُهُ،

وَأَسْتَجْلِبُ كُلَّ مَحْبُوب أَوَّلُهُ رِضاهُ.

10. فَاخْتِمْ لِي مِنْكَ بِالْغُفْرانِ

يا وَلِيَّ الاِحْسانِ

In the Name of God, the All-merciful,

the All-compassionate

1- Praise belongs to God

- and praise is His right, since He deserves it -

abundant praise!

2- I seek refuge in Him from the evil of my soul,

for surely the soul commands to evil except as my Lord has mercy.3

3- I seek refuge in Him from the evil of Satan

who adds sins to my sin.

4- I seek protection with Him from every wicked tyrant,

unjust sovereign, and conquering enemy.

5- O God,

place me among Thy troops,

for Thy troops - they are the victors,4

place me in Thy party,

for Thy party - they are the ones who prosper,5

and place me among Thy friends,

for Thy friends - no fear shall be upon them,

nor shall they sorrow.6

6- O God, set right for me my religion,

for it is the preserving tie of my affair,

set right for me my hereafter,

for it is the abode of my permanent lodging

and to it I flee from the neighbourhood of the vile!

Make life an increase for me in every good

and death an ease for me from every evil!

7- O God, bless

Muhammad, the Seal of the Prophets

and the completion of the number of the envoys,

his Household, the good, the pure,

and his Companions, the distinguished,

and give me on the Tuesday three things:

8- Leave no sin for me unless Thou forgivest it,

no grief unless Thou takest it away,

and no enemy unless Thou repellest him!

By means of 'in the name of "God" ', the best of the Names,

in the name of God, Lord of earth and heaven,

9- I seek to repulse every hateful thing,

the first of which is His anger,

and I seek to attract every loveable thing,

the first of which is His good pleasure!

10- So seal me with forgiveness from Thee,

O Patron of beneficence!
