| 47) His Supplication on the Day of ‘Arafa |
| In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. |
| 1- Praise belongs to God, Lord of the worlds! |

| Lord of lords! |

| He encompasses everything, and He is watchful over everything. |
| 3- Thou art God, there is no god but Thou, |
| the Unique, the Alone, the Single, the Isolated. |
| 4- Thou art God, there is no god but Thou, |
| the Generous, the Generously Bestowing, |
| the All-mighty, the Mightily Exalted, |
| the Magnificent, the Magnificently Magnified. |
| 5- Thou art God, there is no god but Thou, |
| the All-high, the Sublimely High, |

| 11- Thou art God, there is no god but Thou, |
| Possessor of radiance and glory, magnificence and praise. |
| 12- Thou art God, there is no god but Thou. |
| Thou hast brought forth the things without root, |
| formed what Thou hast formed without exemplar, |
| and originated the originated things without limitation |
| 13- It is Thou who hast ordained each thing with an ordination, |
| eased each thing with an easing, |
| and governed everything below Thyself with a governing. |
| 14- It is Thou whom no associate helps with Thy creation |
| and no vizier aids in Thy command. |
| Thou hast no witness and no equal. |
| 15- It is Thou who willed, and what Thou willed was unfailing, |
| who decreed, and what Thou decreed was just, |
| who decided, and what Thou decided was fair. |
| 16- It is Thou whom place does not contain, |
| before whose authority no authority stands up, |
| and whom no proof or explication can thwart. |
| 17- It is Thou who hast counted everything in numbers, |
| appointed for everything a term, |
| and ordained everything with an ordination. |
| 18- It is Thou before whose selfness imaginations fall short, |
| before whose howness understandings have no incapacity, |
| and the place of whose whereness eyes perceive not. |
| 19- It is Thou who hast no bounds, lest Thou be bounded, |
| who art not exemplified, lest Thou be found, |
| who dost not beget, lest Thou be begotten. |
| 20- It is Thou with whom there is no opposite, lest it contend with Thee, |
| who hast no equal, lest it vie with Thee, |
| who hast no rival, lest it resist Thee. |
| 21- It is Thou who art He who began, |
| devised, brought forth, |
| originated, and made well all that He made. |
| 22- Glory be to Thee! How majestic is Thy station! |
| How high Thy place among the places! |
| How cleanly Thy Separator cleaves with the truth! |
| 23- Glory be to Thee! The Gentle – how gentle Thou art! |
| The Clement – how clement Thou art! |
| The Wise – how knowing Thou art! |
| 24- Glory be to Thee! The King – how invincible Thou art! |
| The Munificent – how full of plenty Thou art! |
| The Elevated – how elevated Thou art! |
| Possessor of radiance and glory, magnificence and praise! |
| 25- Glory be to Thee! Thou hast stretched forth Thy hand with good things, |
| and from Thee guidance has come to be known, |
| so he who begs from Thee religion or this world will find Thee. |
| 26- Glory be to Thee! |
| Whatever passes in Thy knowledge is subjected to Thee, |
| all below Thy Throne are humbled before Thy mightiness, |
| and every one of Thy creatures follows Thee in submission. |
| 27- Glory be to Thee! Thou art not sensed, nor touched, |
| nor felt, nor beguiled, |
| nor held back, nor challenged, |
| nor kept up with, nor resisted, |
| nor deceived, nor circumvented. |
| 28- Glory be to Thee! Thy path is smooth ground, |
| Thy command right guidance, |
| and Thou art a living, eternal refuge. |
| 29- Glory be to Thee! Thy word is decisive, |
| Thy decree unfailing, |
| Thy will resolute. |
| 30- Glory be to Thee! None can reject Thy wish, |
| none can change Thy words. |
| 31- Glory be to Thee, Outdazzling in signs, |
| Creator of the heavens, Author of the spirits! |
| 32- To Thee belongs praise, a praise that will be permanent with Thy permanence! |
| 33- To Thee belongs praise, a praise everlasting through Thy favour! |
| 34- To Thee belongs praise, a praise that will parallel Thy benefaction! |
| 35- To Thee belongs praise, a praise that will increase Thy good pleasure! |
| 36- To Thee belongs praise, a praise along with the praise of every praiser |
| and a thanksgiving before which falls short the thanksgiving of every thanksgiver; |
| 37- a praise which is suitable for none but Thee |
| and through which nearness is sought to none but Thee; |
| 38- a praise which will make permanent the first [bounty] |
| and call forth the permanence of the last; |
| 39- a praise which will multiply through recurrence of times |
| and increase through successive doublings; |
| 40- a praise which the guardians will not be able to number |
| and which exceeds what the writers number in Thy Book; |
| 41- a praise which will counterbalance Thy glorious Throne |
| and equal Thy elevated Footstool; |
| 42- a praise whose reward with Thee will be complete |
| and whose recompense will comprise every recompense; |
| 43- a praise whose outward conforms to its inward, |
| and whose inward conforms to correct intention; |
| 44- a praise with whose like no creature has praised Thee |
| and whose excellence none knows but Thou; |
| 45- a praise in which he who strives to multiply Thy praise will be helped |
| and he who draws the bow to the utmost in fulfilling it will be confirmed; |
| 46- a praise which will gather all the praise which Thou hast created |
| and tie together all which Thou wilt afterwards create; |
| 47- a praise than which no praise is nearer to Thy word |
| and than which none is greater from any who praise Thee; |
| 48- a praise whose fullness will obligate increase through Thy generosity |
| and to which Thou wilt join increase after increase as graciousness from Thee; |
| 49- a praise that will befit the generosity of Thy face |
| and meet the might of Thy majesty! |
| 50- My Lord, bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, |
| the distinguished, the chosen, the honoured, the brought nigh, |
| with the most excellent of Thy blessings, |
| benedict him with the most complete of Thy benedictions, |
| and have mercy upon him with the most enjoyable of Thy mercies! |
| 51- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a fruitful blessing, |
| more fruitful than which there is no blessing! |
| Bless him with a growing blessing, |
| more growing than which there is no blessing! |
| And bless him with a pleasing blessing, |
| beyond which there is no blessing! |
| 52- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a blessing which will please him and increase his good pleasure! |
| Bless him with a blessing which will please Thee |
| and increase Thy good pleasure toward him! |
| And bless him with a blessing |
| through other than which Thou wilt not be pleased for him, |
| and for which Thou seest no one else worthy! |
| 53- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a blessing which will pass beyond Thy good pleasure, |
| be continuous in its continuity through Thy subsistence, |
| and never be spent, just as Thy words will never be spent! |
| 54- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a blessing which will tie together the blessings of |
| Thy angels, Thy prophets, Thy messengers, and those who obey Thee, |
| comprise the blessings of Thy servants, jinn or mankind, |
| and those worthy of Thy response, |
| and bring together the blessings of every one of the kinds of Thy creatures |
| which Thou hast sown and authored! |
| 55- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a blessing which will encompass every blessing, |
| bygone and new! |
| Bless him and his Household |
| with a blessing which is pleasing to Thee |
| and everyone below Thee |
| and will bring forth with all that a blessing |
| with which Thou wilt multiply those blessings |
| and increase them through the recurrence of days |
| with an increasing in multiples which none can count but Thou! |
| 56- My Lord, bless the best of his Household, |
| those whom Thou hast chosen for Thy command, |
| appointed the treasurers of Thy knowledge, |
| the guardians of Thy religion, |
| Thy vicegerents in Thy earth, |
| and Thy arguments against Thy servants, |
| purified from uncleanness and defilement through a purification by Thy desire, |
| and made the mediation to Thee |
| and the road to Thy Garden! |
| 57- My Lord, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| with a blessing which makes plentiful Thy gifts and generosity, |
| perfects for them Thy bestowals and awards, |
| and fills out their share of Thy kindly acts and benefits! |
| 58- My Lord, bless him and his Household |
| with a blessing whose first has no term, |
| whose term has no limit, and whose last has no utmost end! |
| 59- My Lord, bless them to the weight of Thy Throne and all below it, |
| the amount that fills the heavens and all above them, |
| the number of Thy earths and all below and between them, |
| a blessing that will bring them near to Thee in proximity, |
| please Thee and them, and be joined to its likes forever! |
| 60- O God, surely Thou hast confirmed Thy religion in all times |
| with an Imam whom Thou hast set up as a guidepost to Thy servants |
| and a lighthouse in Thy lands, |
| after his cord has been joined to Thy cord! |
| Thou hast appointed him the means to Thy good pleasure, |
| made obeying him obligatory, |
| cautioned against disobeying him, |
| and commanded following his commands, |
| abandoning his prohibitions, |
| and that no forward-goer go ahead of him |
| or back-keeper keep back from him! |
| So he is the preservation of the shelter-seekers, |
| the cave of the faithful, |
| the handhold of the adherents, and the radiance of the worlds! |
| 61- O God, so inspire Thy guardian to give thanks for that in which Thou hast favoured him, |
| inspire us with the like concerning him, |
| grant him an authority from Thee to help him, |
| open for him an easy opening, |
| aid him with Thy mightiest pillar, |
| brace up his back, |
| strengthen his arm, |
| guard him with Thy eye, defend him with Thy safeguarding, |
| help him with Thy angels, |
| and assist him with Thy most victorious troops! |
| 62- Through him establish Thy Book, Thy bounds, Thy laws, |
| and the norms of Thy Messenger’s Sunna |
| (Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household), |
| bring to life the guideposts of Thy religion, |
| deadened by the wrongdoers, burnish the rust of injustice from Thy way, |
| sift the adversity from Thy road, |
| eliminate those who deviate from Thy path, |
| and erase those who seek crookedness in Thy straightness! |
| 63- Make his side mild toward Thy friends, |
| stretch forth his hand over Thy enemies, |
| give us his clemency, his mercy, his tenderness, his sympathy, |
| and make us his hearers and obeyers, |
| strivers toward his good pleasure, |
| assistants in helping him and defending him, |
| and brought near through that to The and Thy Messenger (Thy blessings, O God, be upon him and his Household). |
| 64- O God, and bless the friends [of the Imams], the confessors of their station, |
| the keepers to their course, the pursuers of their tracks, |
| the clingers to their handhold, the adherents to their guardianship, |
| the followers of their imamate, |
| the submitters to their command, |
| the strivers to obey them, the awaiters of their days, |
| the directors of their eyes toward them, |
| with blessings blessed, pure, growing, fresh, and fragrant! |
| 65- Give them and their spirits peace, |
| bring together their affair in reverential fear, |
| set right their situations, turn toward them, |
| Surely Thou art Ever-turning, All-compassionate and the Best of forgivers, |
| and place us with them in the Abode of Peace, through Thy mercy, |
| O Most Merciful of the merciful! |
| 66- O God, this is the Day of ‘Arafa, |
| a day which Thou hast made noble, given honour, and magnified. |
| Within it Thou hast spread Thy mercy, showed kindness through Thy pardon, |
| and made plentiful Thy giving, and by it Thou hast been bounteous toward Thy servants. |
| 67- I am Thy servant whom Thou favoured before creating him and after creating him. |
| Thou madest him one of those whom Thou guided to Thy religion, |
| gavest success in fulfilling Thy right, preserved through Thy cord, |
| included within Thy party, |
| and directed aright to befriend Thy friends and show enmity to Thine enemies. |
| 68- Then Thou commanded him, but he did not follow Thy commands, |
| Thou restricted Him, but he did not heed Thy restrictions, |
| Thou prohibited him from disobedience toward Thee, |
| but he broke Thy command by doing what Thou hadst prohibited, |
| not in contention with Thee, nor to display pride toward Thee; |
| on the contrary, his caprice called him |
| to that which Thou hadst set apart and cautioned against, |
| and he was helped in that by Thy enemy and his enemy. |
| So he went ahead with it knowing Thy threat, |
| hoping for Thy pardon, |
| and relying upon Thy forbearance, |
| though he was the most obligated of Thy servants – given Thy kindness toward him – not to do so. |
| 69- Here I am, then, before Thee, |
| despised, lowly, humble, abject, fearful, |
| confessing the dreadful sins with which I am burdened |
| and the great offenses that I have committed, |
| seeking sanctuary in Thy forgiveness, |
| asking shelter in Thy mercy, |
| and certain that no sanctuary-giver will give me sanctuary from Thee |
| and no withholder will hold me back from Thee. |
| 70- So act kindly toward me, just as Thou actest kindly |
| by Thy shielding him who commits sins, |
| be munificent toward me, just as Thou art munificent |
| by pardoning him who throws himself before Thee, |
| and show kindness to me, just as it is nothing great for Thee to show kindness |
| by forgiving him who expectantly hopes in Thee! |
| 71- Appoint for me in this day an allotment through which I may attain |
| a share of Thy good pleasure, |
| and send me not back destitute |
| of that with which Thy worshipers return from among Thy servants! |
| 72- Though I have not forwarded |
| the righteous deeds which they have forwarded, |
| I have forwarded the profession of Thy Unity |
| and the negation from Thee of opposites, rivals, and likenesses, |
| I have come to Thee by the gateways |
| by which Thou hast commanded that people come, |
| and I have sought nearness to Thee through that without seeking nearness through which none gains nearness to Thee. |
| 73- Then I followed all this with repeated turning toward Thee, |
| lowliness and abasement before Thee, |
| good opinion of Thee, |
| and trust in what is with Thee; |
| and to that I coupled hope in Thee, |
| since the one who hopes in Thee is seldom disappointed! |
| 74- I asked Thee with the asking of one vile, lowly, |
| pitiful, poor, fearful, seeking sanctuary; |
| all that in fear and pleading |
| seeking refuge and asking shelter, |
| not presumptuous through the pride of the proud, |
| nor exalting myself with the boldness of the obedient, |
| nor presumptuous of the intercession of the interceders. |
| 75- For I am still the least of the least |
| and the lowliest of the lowly, |
| like a dust mote or less! |
| O He who does not hurry the evildoers |
| nor restrain those living in ease! |
| O He who shows kindness through releasing the stumblers |
| and gratuitous bounty through respiting the offenders! |
| 76- I am the evildoer, the confessor, the offender, the stumbler! |
| 77- I am he who was audacious toward Thee as one insolent! |
| 78- I am he who disobeyed Thee with forethought! |
| 79- I am he who hid myself from Thy servants and blatantly showed myself to Thee! |
| 80- I am he who was awed by Thy servants and felt secure from Thee! |
| 81- I am he who dreaded not Thy penalty and feared not Thy severity! |
| 82- I am the offender against himself! |
| 83- I am the hostage to his own affliction! |
| 84- I am short in shame! |
| 85- I am long in suffering! |
| 86- By the right of him whom Thou hast distinguished among Thy creation |
| and by him whom Thou hast chosen for Thyself! |
| By the right of him whom Thou hast selected from among Thy creatures |
| and by him whom Thou hast picked for Thy task! |
| By the right of him the obeying of whom Thou hast joined to obeying Thee, |
| and by him the disobeying of whom Thou hast made like disobeying Thee! |
| And by the right of him whose friendship Thou hast bound to Thy friendship |
| and by him whose enmity Thou hast linked to Thine enmity! |
| Shield me in this day of mine, |
| by that through which Thou shieldest |
| him who prays fervently to Thee while disavowing |
| and him who seeks refuge in Thy forgiveness while repenting! |
| 87- Attend to me with that through which Thou attendest to the people of |
| obedience toward Thee, proximity to Thee, |
| and rank with Thee! |
| 88. Single me out, as Thou singlest him out |
| who fulfils Thy covenant, |
| fatigues himself for Thy sake alone, |
| and exerts himself in Thy good pleasure! |
| 89- Take me not to task for my neglect in respect to Thee, |
| my transgressing the limit in Thy bounds, |
| and stepping outside Thy ordinances! |
| 90- Draw me not on little by little by granting me a respite, |
| like the drawing on little by little of him who withholds from me the good he has |
| by not sharing with Thee in letting favour down upon me! |
| 91- Arouse me from the sleep of the heedless, |
| the slumber of the prodigal, |
| and the dozing of the forsaken! |
| 92- Take my heart to that in which Thou hast |
| employed the devout, |
| enthralled the worshipers, and rescued the remiss! |
| 93- Give me refuge from that which will keep me far from Thee, |
| come between me and my share from Thee, |
| and bar me from that which I strive for in Thee! |
| 94- Make easy for me the road of good deeds toward Thee, |
| racing to them from where Thou hast commanded, |
| and coveting them as Thou desirest! |
| 95- Efface me not along with those whom Thou effacest for thinking lightly of what Thou hast promised! |
| 96- Destroy me not with those whom Thou destroyest for exposing themselves to Thy hate! |
| 97- Annihilate me not among those whom Thou annihilatest for deviating from Thy roads! |
| 98- Deliver me from the floods of trial, |
| save me from the gullets of affliction, |
| and grant me sanctuary from being seized by respite! |
| 99- Come between me and the enemy who misguides me, |
| the caprice which ruins me, |
| and the failing which overcomes me! |
| 100- Turn not away from me |
| with the turning away in wrath |
| 101- Let me not lose heart in expecting from Thee, |
| lest I be overcome by despair of Thy mercy! |
| 102- Grant me not that which I cannot endure, lest Thou weighest me down |
| with the surplus of Thy love which Thou loadest upon me! |
| 103- Send me not from Thy hand, the sending of him who possesses no good, |
| toward whom Thou hast no need, |
| and who turns not back [to Thee]! |
| 104- Cast me not with the casting of him who has fallen from the eye of Thy regard |
| and been wrapped in degradation from Thee! |
| Rather take my hand [and save me] from the falling of the stumblers, |
| the disquiet of the deviators, the slip of those deluded, |
| and the plight of the perishers! |
| 105- Release me from that with which Thou hast afflicted the ranks of Thy servants and handmaids |
| and make me reach the utmost degrees of him about whom Thou art concerned, |
| towards whom Thou showest favour, and with whom Thou art pleased, |
| so that Thou lettest him live as one praiseworthy and takest him to Thee as one felicitous! |
| 106- Collar me with the collar of abstaining from that which |
| makes good deeds fail |
| and takes away blessings! |
| 107- Impart to my heart restraint before ugly works of evil |
| and disgraceful misdeeds! |
| 108- Divert me not |
| by that which I cannot reach except through Thee from doing that which alone makes Thee pleased with me! |
| 109- Root out from my heart the love of this vile world, |
| which keeps from everything which is with Thee, |
| bars from seeking the mediation to Thee, |
| and distracts from striving for nearness to Thee! |
| 110- Embellish for me solitude |
| in prayer whispered to Thee by night and by day! |
| 111- Give me a preservation which will bring me close to dread of Thee, |
| cut me off from committing things made unlawful by Thee, |
| and spare me from captivation by dreadful sins! |
| 112- Give me purification from the defilement of disobedience, |
| take away from me the filth of offenses, |
| dress me in the dress of Thy well-being, |
| cloak me in the cloak of Thy release, |
| wrap me in Thy ample favours, |
| and clothe me in Thy bounty and Thy graciousness! |
| 113- Strengthen me with Thy giving success |
| and Thy pointing the right way, |
| help me toward righteous intention, pleasing words, and approved works, |
| and entrust me not to my force and my strength in place of Thy force and Thy strength! |
| 114- Degrade me not on the day Thou raisest me up to meet Thee, |
| disgrace me not before Thy friends, |
| make me not forget remembering Thee, |
| take not away from me thanking Thee, |
| but enjoin it upon me in states of inattention when the ignorant are heedless of Thy boons, |
| and inspire me to laud what Thou hast done for me |
| and confess to what Thou hast conferred upon me! |
| 115- Place my beseeching Thee above the beseeching of the beseechers |
| and my praise of Thee above the praise of the praisers! |
| 116- Abandon me not with my neediness for Thee, |
| destroy me not for what I have done for Thee, |
| and slap not my brow with that with which Thou slappest the brow of those who contend with Thee, |
| for I am submitted to Thee. |
| I know that the argument is Thine, |
| that Thou art closest to bounty, |
| most accustomed to beneficence, |
| worthy of reverent fear, and worthy of forgiveness, |
| that Thou art closer to pardoning than to punishing, |
| and that Thou art nearer to covering over than to making notorious! |
| 117- Let me live an agreeable life |
| that will tie together what I want |
| and reach what I love while I not bring what Thou dislikest |
| and not commit what Thou hast prohibited; |
| and make me die the death of him |
| whose light runs before him and on his right hand! |
| 118- Abase me before Thyself |
| and exalt me before Thy creatures, |
| lower me when I am alone with Thee |
| and raise me among Thy servants, |
| free me from need for him who has no need of me |
| and increase me in neediness and poverty toward Thee! |
| 119- Give me refuge from the gloating of enemies, |
| the arrival of affliction, |
| lowliness and suffering! |
| Shield me in what Thou seest from me, |
| the shielding of him who would have power over violence had he no clemency, |
| and would seize for misdeeds had he no lack of haste! |
| 120- When Thou desirest for a people a trial or an evil, |
| deliver me from it, for I seek Thy shelter; |
| and since Thou hast not stood me in the station of disgrace in this world of Thine, |
| stand me not in such a station in the next world of Thine! |
| 121- Couple for me the beginnings of Thy kindnesses with their ends |
| and the ancient of Thy benefits with the freshly risen! |
| Prolong not my term with a prolonging through which my heart will harden! |
| Strike me not with a striking that will take away my radiance! |
| Visit me not with a meanness that will diminish my worth |
| or a deficiency that will keep my rank unknown! |
| 122- Frighten me not with a fright by which I will despair |
| or a terror through which I will dread, |
| but make me stand in awe of Thy threat, |
| take precautions against Thy leaving no excuses and Thy warning, |
| and tremble at the recitation of Thy verses! |
| 123- Fill my night with life by keeping me awake therein for worshipping Thee, |
| solitude with vigil for Thee, |
| exclusive devotion to reliance upon Thee, |
| setting my needs before Thee, |
| and imploring that Thou wilt set my neck free from the Fire |
| and grant me sanctuary from Thy chastisement, within which its inhabitants dwell! |
| 124- Leave me not blindly wandering in my insolence |
| or inattentive in my perplexity for a time, |
| make me not an admonition to him who takes admonishment, |
| a punishment exemplary for him who takes heed, |
| a trial for him who observes, |
| devise not against me along with those against whom Thou devisest, |
| replace me not with another, |
| change not my name, |
| transform not my body, |
| appoint me not a mockery for Thy creatures, |
| a laughing-stock for Thyself, |
| a follower of anything but Thy good pleasure, |
| a menial servant for anything but avenging Thee! |
| 125- Let me find the coolness of Thy pardon and the sweetness of Thy mercy, |
| Thy repose, Thy ease, and the garden of Thy bliss! |
| Let me taste, through some of Thy boundless plenty, the flavour of being free for what Thou lovest |
| and striving in what brings about proximity |
| with Thee and to Thee, |
| and give me a gift from among Thy gifts! |
| 126- Make my commerce profitable |
| and my return without loss, |
| fill me with fear of Thy station, |
| make me yearn for the meeting with Thee, |
| and allow me to repent with an unswerving repentance |
| along with which Thou lettest no sins remain, |
| small or large, and leavest no wrongs, open or secret! |
| 127- Root out rancour toward the faithful from my breast, |
| bend my heart toward the humble, |
| be toward me as Thou art toward the righteous, |
| adorn me with the adornment of the godfearing, |
| appoint for me a goodly report among those yet to come |
| and a growing remembrance among the later folk, |
| and take me to the plain of those who came first! |
| 128- Complete the lavishness of Thy favour upon me, |
| clothe me in its repeated generosities, |
| fill my hand with Thy benefits, |
| drive Thy generous gifts to me, |
| make me the neighbour of the best of Thy friends |
| in the Gardens which Thou hast adorned for Thy chosen, |
| and wrap me in Thy noble presents in the stations prepared for Thy beloveds! |
| 129- Appoint for me a resting place with Thee |
| where I may seek haven in serenity, and a resort to which I may revert |
| and rest my eyes, weigh not against me my dreadful misdeeds, |
| destroy me not on the day the secrets are tried, |
| eliminate from me every doubt and uncertainty, |
| appoint for me a way in the truth from every mercy, |
| make plentiful for me the portions of gifts from Thy granting of awards |
| and fill out for me the shares of beneficence from Thy bestowal of bounty! |
| 130- Make my heart trust in what is with Thee |
| and my concern free for what is Thine, |
| employ me in that in which Thou employest Thy pure friends, |
| drench my heart with Thy obedience when intellects are distracted, |
| and combine within me independence, continence, ease, release, health, plenty, tranquillity, and well being! |
| 131- Make not fail my good deeds |
| through my disobedience that stains them |
| or my private times of worship through the instigations of Thy trial! |
| Safeguard my face from asking |
| from anyone in the world, |
| and drive me far from begging for that which is with the ungodly! |
| 132- Make me not an aid to the wrongdoers, |
| nor their hand and helper in erasing Thy Book! |
| Defend me whence I know not with a defense through which Thou protectest me! |
| Open toward me the gates of Thy repentance, Thy mercy, |
| Thy clemency, and Thy boundless provision! |
| Surely I am one of those who beseech Thee! |
| And complete Thy favour toward me! |
| Surely Thou art the best of those who show favour! |
| 133- Place the rest of my life in the hajj and the ‘umra |
| seeking Thy face, |
| O Lord of the worlds! |
| And may God bless Muhammad and his Household, the good, the pure, |
| and peace be upon him and them always and forever! |
