Hadith.1409 - It is narrated by Ma'ruf ibn Kharbudh from one of them, meaning Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir and Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq : "Recite in the Qunoot of Witr: 'There is no god but Allah , the Forbearing, the Generous. There is no god but Allah , the Most High, the Mighty. Glory be to Allah , the Lord of the seven heavens and the seven earths, and whatever is within them and between them, and the Lord of the Great Throne. O’ Allah , You are the Light of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah , the Ornament of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah , the Beauty of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah , the Pillar of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah , the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. You are Allah , the Helper of those who cry for help. You are Allah , the Reliever of the distressed. You are Allah , the One who answers the prayer of the distressed. You are Allah , the God of the worlds. You are Allah , the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate. You are Allah , the Remover of hardship. You are Allah ; with You every need is resolved. O’ Allah , nothing repels Your anger except Your forbearance. Nothing delivers from Your punishment except Your mercy, and nothing can rescue me from You except pleading with You. So grant me, O’ my God, mercy from You that suffices me from the mercy of any other than You, by the power through which You revived all in the lands and by which You revive the dead among Your servants. Do not destroy me with anguish until You forgive me, have mercy on me, and make known to me the response to my supplication. Grant me well-being until the end of my life. Overlook my missteps, do not let my enemies gloat over me, and do not grant them control over me. O’ Allah , if You elevate me, who can bring me down? If You bring me down, who can elevate me? If You destroy me, who can intervene between You and me or interfere in any matter of mine? I know that there is no injustice in Your rule and no haste in Your punishment. The one who rushes is he who fears loss, and only the weak resort to injustice. You are far above all of this, my God. So do not make me a target for affliction, nor a subject for Your wrath. Grant me respite, relieve me, forgive my faults, and do not follow one trial with another. You see my weakness and lack of resources. I seek refuge with You this night, so protect me. I seek Your protection from the Fire, so protect me. I ask You for Paradise, so do not deny it to me.' Then call upon Allah with whatever you wish and seek His forgiveness seventy times."
