6 - قال: حدثنا أبو علي أحمد بن محمد الصولي بمسجد براثا سنة اثنتين وخمسين وثلاثمائة قال: حدثنا عبد العزيز بن يحيى الجلودي قال: حدثني محمد بن زكريا الغلابي قال: حدثنا قيس بن حفص الدارمي قال: حدثنا الحسين الأشقر، عن عمر [و] بن عبد الغفار ، عن إسحاق بن الفضل الهاشمي قال: كان من دعاء أمير المؤمنين علي بن أبي طالب عليه السلام: " اللهم إني أعوذ بك أن أعادي لك وليا، أو أوالي لك عدوا، أو أرضى لك سخطا أبدا. اللهم من صليت عليه فصلواتنا عليه، ومن لعنته فلعنتنا عليه. اللهم من كان في موته فرح لنا ولجميع المسلمين فأرحنا منه، وأبدل لنا به من هو خير لنا منه حتى ترينا من علم الإجابة ما نتعرفه في أدياننا ومعايشنا يا أرحم الراحمين ". وصلى الله عليه سيدنا محمد النبي وآله وسلم.

6. He said: Abu ‘Ali Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Suliy reported to me in the mosque of Baratha, in the year 353, from Abul Aziz ibn Yahya al-Jaloodi, who reported from Muhammad ibn Zakariyya al-Ghalabiy, who reported from Qais ibn Hafs al-Daramiy, who reported from al-Husayn al-Ashqar, from Umar (or Amru) ibn Abdul Ghaffar, from Ishaq ibn al-Fadhl al-Hashimi, who said: "Among the supplications of Amirul Mu’mineen, ‘Ali ibn Abi Talib, peace be upon him, there was the following: "O Allah! I seek refuge with you from being hostile to a person who is Your saint; or from being friendly to one who is Your adversary, or to choose Your permanent wrath. O Allah! Our blessings be for those You have blessed, and our curse be upon those You have cursed; O Allah! relieve us by the demise of one whose death is a relief for us and for all the Muslims; and grant us in exchange one who is better for us than he; so that You may show us, by Your acceptance, that which we wish to realize in our faith and in our lives; O Most Merciful among the mercifuls." And may Allah bless our master Muhammad and his progeny.
