O All¡h XE "All¡h"  - the Transformer of hearts! Make my heart steadfast on Your religion.

I said: “O Prophet of All¡h XE "All¡h" ! And are hearts transformed?” He said: “Yes. All¡h did not create any human being but that his heart was between two fingers from the fingers of All¡h, so if He willed he would make it upright and if He willed he would make it deviate.”[3]

118. In Majma~ al-Bay¡n: And when he 9 heard the sound of thunder he said:

أَللّٰهُمَّ لاَ تَقْـتُلْنَا بِغَضَبِكَ، وَلاَ تُهْلِكْنَا بِعَذَابِكَ، وَعَافِنَا قَبْلَ ذٰلِكَ.

O All¡h XE "All¡h" ! Do not kill us with Your wrath, and do not destroy us with Your punishment, and grant us amnesty before that.[5]

O All¡h XE "All¡h" ! I seek Your protection from any evil that is in it.

And if it passed he would praise All¡h XE "All¡h" , and if it rained he would say:

أَللّٰهُمَّ نَاشِئاً نَافِعاً.

أَللّٰهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَرى وَلاَ تُرى، وَأَنْتَ بِالْمَنْظَرِ الأَعَلـى، وَأَنَّ إِلَيْكَ الْمُنْـتَهى وَالرُّجْعى، وَأَنَّ لَكَ الآخِرَةَ وَالأُولـى، وَأَنَّ لَكَ الْمَمَاتَ وَالْمَحْـيَا، رَبِّ أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أَذِلَّ وَأَخْزى.

O All¡h XE "All¡h" ! You see but cannot be seen, and You are at the highest viewpoint, and to You is the final destination and return, and Yours are the end and the beginning, and Yours are the place of death and life. O Lord! I seek Your protection from being disrespected and disgraced.”[8]
