Ali ibn Hatim from Muhammad ibn Amr from Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ziyad from Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Ubaydullah from Abdillah ibn Maymun from his father from Abu Ja’far عليه السلام, peace be upon him, who said: Imam al-Baqir عليه السلام said: “There is no God but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Forbearing, the Generous. There is no God but Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Most High, the Most Great. Glory be to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Lord عز وجل of the seven heavens and the Lord عز وجل of the seven earths and the Lord عز وجل of the Great Throne. ‘And all praise is due to Allah سبحانه وتعالى, Lord of the worlds’. (Surah As-Saffat 37:182) O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل by Your impenetrable armor, by Your power, Your greatness, and Your authority, to protect me from the accursed Satan and from the evil of every obstinate tyrant. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I ask You عز وجل by my love for You عز وجل, and by my love for Your Messenger may Allah سبحانه وتعالى bless him and his family, And by my love for the family of Your Messenger صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, may Your blessings be upon him and upon all of them. O’ One who is better for me than my father and my mother and all people, Ordain for me better than what I would ordain for myself, and better than what my father and my mother would ordain for me. You عز وجل are Generous and do not withhold, Forbearing and not ignorant, Mighty and never humiliated. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, for the one whose trust and hope is in the people, You عز وجل are my trust and my hope. Ordain for me the best of outcomes, with well-being, and make me content with what You عز وجل have decreed for me. O’ Allah سبحانه وتعالى, send blessings upon (Prophet) Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم and the family of Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم, and clothe me in Your protective well-being. And if You عز وجل try me with affliction, then grant me patience, though well-being is more beloved to me.”
