| His Supplication in Yearning to Ask Forgiveness from God |
| In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful. |
| 1- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, |
| make us go to the repentance that Thou lovest |
| and make us leave the persistence that Thou hatest! |
| 2- O God, when we halt before two decreases, in religion or in this world, |
| let the decrease fall upon that which passes quickly |
| and relent in that which lasts the longer! |
| 3- When we set out after two concerns, one of which makes Thee pleased with us |
| and the other of which displeases Thee, |
| incline us toward that which makes Thee pleased |
| and weaken our strength in that which displeases Thee! |
| 4- Leave not our souls alone to choose in that, |
| for they choose falsehood except inasmuch as Thou givest success, |
| and they command to evil except inasmuch as Thou hast mercy! |
| 5- O God, thou created us from frailty, |
| built us up from feebleness, |
| and began us from a mean water; |
| we have no force except through Thy strength |
| and no strength except through Thy help. |
| 6- So confirm us by giving us success, point us the right way by Thy pointing, |
| blind the eyes of our hearts toward everything opposed to Thy love, |
| and set not in any of our limbs passage to disobeying Thee! |
| 7- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household |
| and assign the whisperings of our hearts, |
| the movements of our members, the glances of our eyes, |
| and the idioms of our tongues, |
| to that which makes incumbent Thy reward, |
| lest a good deed slip by us, through which we might deserve Thy repayment, |
| or an evil deed remain with us, by which we might merit Thy punishment! |
