O Allah: (please do) send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household
And send blessings upon Muhammad ibn `Ali¢—
The pure, the pious, the devout, the loyal, the respectful, the immaculate,
The guide of this nation, the inheritor of the Imams,
The trust of mercy, the spring of wisdom
The guide to blessings, the match of the Qur'¡n in respect with (obligatory) obedience
The equal of the Successors in sincerity and worshipfulness
Your supreme Argument, Your ultimate example, Your Excellent Word
The caller to You, the guide to You
Whom You have assigned as symbol to Your servants, as interpreter of Your Book
as declarer of Your commands, as supporter of Your religion
as argument against Your creatures, as light by whom You penetrate murk
as pattern through whom true guidance is attained, and as interceder by whom Paradise is gained.
O Allah: Because he showed piety to You at the furthest
and took his due of fear of You,
(please do) bless him many times as much as You have blessed any of Your servants whose obedience (to You) has been admitted by You
And whose servitude to You has been accepted by you. And (please do) convey to him our greetings and salutations
And confer upon us, through our loyalty to him, with favors, benevolence, forgiveness, and satisfaction of You
You are verily the Lord of Eternal Favors and Benevolent Pardon |
