4- Blessing upon the Attesters to the Messengers

اللهم و اتباع الرسل و مصدقوهم من اهل الارض بالغيب عند معارضة المعاندين لهم بالتكذيب و الاشتياق الي المرسلين بحقائق الايمان .في كل دهر و زمان ارسلت فيه رسولا و اقمت لاهله دليلا من لدن ادم الي محمد - صلي الله عليه و اله - من أئمة الهدي ، و قادة اهل التقي ، علي جميعهم السلام ، فاذكرهم منك بمغفرة و رضوان .اللهم و اصحاب محمد خاصة الذين احسنوا الصحابة و الذين ابلوا البلاء الحسن في نصره ، و كانفوه ، و اسرعوا الي وفادته ، و سابقوا الي دعوته ، و استجابوا له حيث اسمعهم حجة رسالاته .و فارقوا الازواج و الاولاد في اظهار كلمته ، و قاتلوا الاباء و الابناء في تثبيت نبوته ، و انتصروا به .و من كانوا منطوين علي محبته يرجون تجارة لن تبور في مودته .و الذين هجرتهم العشائر اذ تعلقوا بعروته ، و انتفت منهم القرابات اذ سكنوا في ظل قرابته .فلا تنس لهم اللهم ما تركوا لك و فيك ، و ارضهم من رضوانك ، و بما حاشوا الخلق عليك ، و كانوا مع رسولك دعاة لك اليك .و اشكرهم علي هجرهم فيك ديار قومهم ، و خروجهم من سعة المعاش الي ضيقه ، و من كثرت في اعزاز دينك من مظلومهم .اللهم و اوصل الي التابعين لهم باحسان ، الذين يقولون : ربنا اغفر لنا و لاخواننا الذين سبقونا بالايمان خير جزائك .الذين قصدوا سمتهم ، و تحروا وجهتهم ، و مضوا علي شاكلتهم .لم يثنهم ريب في بصيرتهم ، و لم يختلجهم شك في قفو اثارهم ، و الايتمام بهداية منارهم .مكانفين و موازرين لهم ، يدينون بدينهم ، و يهتدون بهديهم ، يتفقون عليهم ، و لا يتهمونهم فيما ادوا اليهم .اللهم و صل علي التابعين من يومنا هذا الي يوم الدين و علي ازواجهم و علي ذرياتهم و علي من اطاعك منهم .صلوة تعصمهم بها من معصيتك ، و تفسح لهم في رياض جنتك ، و تمنعهم بها من كيد الشيطان ، و تعينهم بها علي ما استعانوك عليه من بر ، و تقيهم طوارق الليل و النهار إلا طارقا يطرق بخير .و تبعثهم بها علي اعتقاد حسن الرجاء لك ، و الطمع فيما عندك ، و ترك التهمة فيما تحويه ايدي العباد .لتردهم الي الرغبة اليك و الرهبة منك ، و تزهدهم في سعة العاجل ، و تحبب اليهم العمل للاجل ، و الاستعداد لما بعد الموت .و تهون عليهم كل كرب يحل بهم يوم خروج الانفس من ابدانها .و تعافيهم مما تقع به الفتنة من محذوراتها ، و كبة النار و طول الخلود فيها .و تصيرهم الي امن من مقيل المتقين

4 - His Supplication in Calling down Blessings upon the Followers of , and Attesters to , the Messengers O God , as for the followers of the messengers and those of the people of the earth who attested to them unseen ( while the obstinate resisted them through crying lies ) - they yearned for the emissaries through the realities of faith , in every era and time in which Thou didst send a messenger and set up for the people a director from the period of Adam down to Muhammad ( God bless him and his Household ) from among the imams of guidance and the leaders of the godfearing ( upon them all be peace ) - remember them with forgiveness and good pleasure ! O God , and as for the Companions of Muhammad specifically , those who did well in companionship , who stood the good test in helping him , responded to him when he made them hear his messages' argument , separated from mates and children in manifesting his word , fought against fathers and sons in strengthening his prophecy , and through him gained victory ; those who were wrapped in affection for him , 'hoping for a commerce that comes not to naught' in love for him ; those who were left by their clans when they clung to his handhold and denied by their kinsfolk when they rested in the shadow of his kinship ; forget not , O God , what they abandoned for Thee and in Thee , and make them pleased with Thy good pleasure for the sake of the creatures they drove to Thee while they were with Thy Messenger , summoners to Thee for Thee . Show gratitude to them for leaving the abodes of their people for Thy sake and going out from a plentiful livelihood to a narrow one , and ( show gratitude to ) those of them who became objects of wrongdoing and whom Thou multiplied in exalting Thy religion . O God , and give to those who have done well in following the Companions , who say , 'Our Lord , forgive us and our brothers who went before us in faith' , Thy best reward ; those who went straight to the Companion's road , sought out their course , and proceeded in their manner . No doubt concerning their sure insight diverted them and no uncertainty shook them from following in their tracks and being led by the guidance of their light . As their asistants and supporters , they professed their religion , gained guidance through their guidance , came to agreement with them , and never accused them in what they passed on to them . O God , and bless the Followers , from this day of ours to the Day of Doom , their wives , their offspring , and those among them who obey Thee , with a blessing through which Thou wilt preserve them from disobeying Thee , make room for them in the plots of Thy Garden , defend them from the trickery of Satan , help them in the piety in which they seek help from Thee , protect them from sudden events that come by night and day - except the events which come with good - and incite them to tie firmly the knot of good hope in Thee , what is with Thee , and refrain from ill thoughts ( toward Thee ) because of what the hands of Thy servants' hold . Thus Thou mayest restore them to beseeching Thee and fearing Thee , induce them to renounce the plenty of the immediate , make them love to work for the sake of the deferred and prepare for what comes after death , make easy for them every distress that comes to them on the day when souls take leave from bodies , release them from that which brings about the perils of temptation and being thrown down in the Fire and staying forever within it , and take them to security , the resting place of the godfearing.
