10- His Supplication in Seeking Asylum with God 

 

اللهم إن تشأ تعف عنا فبفضلك ، و إن تشأ تعذبنا فبعدلك .فسهل لنا عفوك بمنك ، و اجرنا من عذابك بتجاوزك ، فانه لا طاقة لنا بعدلك ، و لا نجاة لاحد منا دون عفوك .يا غني الاغنياء ، ها ، نحن عبادك بين يديك و أنا افقر الفقراء اليك ، فاجبر فاقتنا بوسعك ، و لا تقطع رجاءنا بمنعك ، فتكون قد اشقيت من استسعد بك ، و حرمت من استرفد فضلك .فالي من حينئذ منقلبنا عنك ، و الي اين مذهبنا عن بابك ، سبحانك نحن المضطرون الذين اوجبت اجابتهم ، و اهل السوء الذين وعدت الكشف عنهم .واشبه الاشياء بمشيتك ، و اولي الامور بك في عظمتك رحمة من استرحمك ، و غوث من استغاث بك ، فارحم تضرعنا اليك ، و اغننا إذ طرحنا انفسنا بين يديك .اللهم إن الشيطان قد شمت بنا إذ شايعناه علي معصيتك ، فصل علي محمد و اله ، و لا تشمته بنا بعد تركنا اياه لك ، و رغبتنا عنه اليك  

 

10 - His Supplication in Seeking Asylum with God O God , if Thou willest , Thou wilt pardon us through Thy bounty and if Thou willest , Thou wilt chastise us through Thy justice . So make our ways smooth to Thy pardon through Thy kindness and grant us sanctuary from Thy chastisement through Thy forbearance , for none of us has the endurance for Thy justice and none of us can reach deliverance without Thy pardon ! O Richest of the rich ! Here we are , Thy servants , before Thee . I am the neediest of the needy toward Thee , so redress our neediness through Thy plenty and cut us not off from our hopes through Thy withholding , lest Thou makest wretched him who seeks felicity through Thee and deprivest him who seeks help from Thy bounty ! Then to whom would we return after Thee? where would we go from Thy gate? Glory be to Thee ! We are the distressed , the response to whom Thou hast made incumbent , the people from whom Thou hast promised to remove the evil . That thing most resembling Thy will and that affair most worthy for Thee in Thy mightiness is showing mercy to him who asks Thee for mercy and helping him who seeks help from Thee . So show mercy upon our pleading with Thee and free us from need when we throw ourselves before Thee ! O God , Satan will gloat over us if we follow him in disobeying thee , so bless Muhammad and his Household and let him not gloat over us after we have renounced him for Thee and beseeched Thee against him
