أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ

“O' God! You are the All-knowing, the Creator, the Provider! And You are God Who Destines, the Affluent! the Powerful! Therefore, I ask You to Bestow Blessings upon Muhammad and His Progeny (MGB).

O' my God! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (MGB) and let me be of the highest rank, the most knowledgeable, and the most honorable of the people of the world near You as You made Adam (MGB) out of clay, blew Your Spirit into him, ordered Your angels to prostrate to him, and taught him all the Names.
You established him as Your Caliph on Your earth.
You brought all that is in the heavens and on the earth under his control.
You honored his progeny and made them superior to all the people of the world.

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَ مِنْكَ النَّعْمَاءُ وَ لَكَ الشُّكْرُ دَائِماً يَا لَطِيفاً بِعِبَادِهِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَا سَمِيعَ الدُّعَاءِ ارْحَمْ وَ اسْتَجِبْ

O' He who is my caretaker and helper.

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى جَمِيعِ مَلَائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ وَ أَنْبِيَائِكَ [وَ] الْمُرْسَلِينَ وَ عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ

يَا جَالِيَ الْأَحْزَانِ يَا مُوَسِّعَ الضِّيقِ يَا مَنْ هُوَ أَوْلَى بِخَلْقِهِ مِنْ أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَ يَا فَاطِرَ تِلْكَ الْأَنْفُسِ أَنْفُساً وَ مُلْهِمَهَا فُجُورَهَا وَ التَّقْوَى نَزَلَ بِي يَا فَارِجَ الْهَمِّ هَمٌّ ضِقْتُ بِهِ ذَرْعاً وَ صَدْراً حَتَّى خَشِيتُ أَنْ يَكُونَ عَرَضَتْ فِتْنَةٌ
O‟ He who removes sorrow! O‟ He who removes restrictions! O' He who is closer to the creatures than themselves! O' Creator of souls and He who induces them about bad and good! O' He who removes grief! I have such grief that restricts my heart and I fear something has happened to me.

يَا اللَّهُ فَبِذِكْرِكَ‌ تَطْمَئِنُّ الْقُلُوبُ‌ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ قَلِّبْ قَلْبِي مِنَ الْهُمُومِ إِلَى الرَّوْحِ وَ الدَّعَةِ وَ لَا تَشْغَلْنِي عَنْ ذِكْرِكَ بِتَرْكِكَ مَا بِي مِنَ الْهُمُومِ إِنِّي إِلَيْكَ مُتَضَرِّعٌ
O‟ my God! The hearts are only consoled by Your Remembrance! Please bestow Your Blessings on Muhammad and his Progeny (MGB).
Please change the state of my heart from anxieties to spirit and gentleness.
Please do not abandon me with anxieties so that I forget Your Remembrance.
I cry to You.

أَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ الَّذِي لَا يُوصَفُ إِلَّا بِالْمَعْنَى بِكِتْمَانِكَ عن [فِي‌] غُيُوبِكَ ذِي النُّورِ وَ أَنْ تُجْلِيَ بِحَقِّهِ أَحْزَانِي وَ تَشْرَحَ بِهِ صَدْرِي بِكُشُوطِ الْهَمِّ يَا كَرِيمُ.
Therefore, I ask You by Your Name that can only be described but by the meaning, is hidden by You, and has Light.
I ask You to remove my grief for its sake and expand my breast with the removal of sorrow.
O' the All-Generous!"
