Muhammad ibn Ya‘qub, from al-Husayn ibn Muhammad, from Ahmad ibn Ishaq al-Qummi, from Sa’adan ibn Muslim, from Abu Basir, from Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: Imam al-Sadiq عليه السلام said in the farewell of the Month of Ramadan: “O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, indeed You عز وجل have said in Your revealed Book, upon the tongue of Your sent Prophet صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, Your blessings be upon him and his family, and Your word is truth: ‘The Month of Ramadan in which was revealed the Qur’an’ (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:185); and now this Month of Ramadan has passed by. So I ask You عز وجل by Your Noble Face and by Your complete words; if there remains upon me any sin which You عز وجل have not yet forgiven me for, or that You عز وجل will punish me for, or take me to account for (I ask You عز وجل) that the dawn of this night not rise, nor this month come to a close, except that You عز وجل have forgiven it for me, O’ Most Merciful of the merciful. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, to You عز وجل belongs all praise with all forms of praise, its first and its last, what You عز وجل have praised Yourself with, and what the praising creatures have said for You عز وجل those who strive, enumerate, and devote themselves in Your remembrance and gratitude; those whom You عز وجل have assisted in fulfilling Your due, right from among the various ranks of Your creation of the angels brought near, and the prophets and the messengers, and the various ranks of those who speak and glorify You عز وجل from among all the worlds. For the fact that You عز وجل caused us to reach the Month of Ramadan, And (that) upon us was from Your blessings, And in our possession from Your allotment, And Your beneficence, And the manifestation of Your generosity for that, to You عز وجل belongs the utmost praise; everlasting, enduring, settled, perpetual praise that never comes to an end, throughout all eternity. Exalted is Your praise. You عز وجل assisted us in it until You عز وجل enabled us, to fulfill its fasting and its nightly standing in prayer and devotion. And whatever acts of righteousness, or gratitude, or remembrance that we performed in it, O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, accept it from us with the best of Your acceptance, And through Your overlooking, Your pardon, Your forgiveness, Your clemency, and the reality of Your pleasure until You عز وجل grant us therein every desired good, and abundant granted gifts, and grant us safety from every feared matter and acquired sin. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل by the greatest of what any of Your creation has ever asked You عز وجل, by the nobility of Your Names, the abundance of Your praise, and the specificity of Your invocation, to send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, And to make this month of ours the greatest Month of Ramadan to pass over us since You عز وجل placed us in this world, Both in blessings upon the protection of my religion, And the salvation of my soul, And the fulfillment of my needs, And the acceptance of my supplications, And the completion of Your bounty upon me, And the repelling of evil from me, And the clothing of well-being for me. And that You عز وجل make me, by Your mercy, among those for whom You عز وجل secured the Night of al-Qadr, and made it for him better than ‘a thousand months’ (Surah Al Qadr) in the greatest reward, the most noble reserves, the longest life, the best gratitude, and the continuity of ease. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I also ask You عز وجل by Your mercy, and Your bounty, and Your pardon, and Your blessings, and Your majesty, and Your ancient kindness and generosity, that You عز وجل do not make this our last encounter with the Month of Ramadan, until You عز وجل allow us to reach it again in the coming year in the best of states, and that You عز وجل show me its crescent moon together with those who behold it and recognize it, in the fullest of Your well-being, the most gracious of Your blessings, the vastest of Your mercy, and the most abundant of Your allotment. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, O’ my Lord عز وجل, there is no Lord عز وجل for me other than You عز وجل, do not make this farewell of mine a farewell of separation and extinction. And not the last of the covenant of encounter, until You عز وجل show it to me again in the fullness of blessings and the best of hopes, while I remain in the finest state of loyalty to You عز وجل, ‘indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication’ (Surah Al Imran 3:38). O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, hear my supplication, my humble entreaty, my submissiveness before You عز وجل, my brokenness, and my reliance upon You عز وجل. I am in full submission to You عز وجل, I seek no success, no well-being, no honor, and no attainment except through You عز وجل, and from You عز وجل. So bestow it upon me, Exalted is Your praise, and sanctified are Your names by allowing me to reach the Month of Ramadan again while I am safe from every disliked and feared thing, and from all calamities. All praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, who aided us in the fasting of this month and its nightly standing, until He عز وجل brought us to its final night.”
