Original Arabic text

10ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنْ شَرِيفِ بْنِ سَابِقٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ بْنِ أَبِي قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ ثَلاثٌ تَنَاسَخَهَا الأنْبِيَاءُ مِنْ آدَمَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) حَتَّى وَصَلْنَ إِلَى رَسُولِ الله (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) كَانَ إِذَا أَصْبَحَ يَقُولُ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَاناً تُبَاشِرُ بِهِ قَلْبِي وَيَقِيناً حَتَّى أَعْلَمَ أَنَّهُ لا يُصِيبُنِي إِلا مَا كَتَبْتَ لِي وَرَضِّنِي بِمَا قَسَمْتَ لِي. وَرَوَاهُ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا وَزَادَ فِيهِ حَتَّى لا أُحِبَّ تَعْجِيلَ مَا أَخَّرْتَ وَلا تَأْخِيرَ مَا عَجَّلْتَ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ أَسْتَغِيثُ أَصْلِحْ لِي شَأْنِي كُلَّهُ وَلا تَكِلْنِي إِلَى نَفْسِي طَرْفَةَ عَيْنٍ أَبَداً وَصَلَّى الله عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ.

Published English translation

10. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Sharif ibn Sabiq from al-Fadl ibn abu Qurrah from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “There are three things that the prophets inherited from Adam until they reached the Messenger of Allah. In the morning he would say, ‘O Lord, I request You to grant me a belief that accompany with my heart, a certainty in the fact that nothing can affect me except what You have written, make me happy with the share that You have assigned for me.’” Certain individuals of our people have narrated the above Hadith with this addition: “So I will not love hastening of what You have delayed, and the delay of what You have hastened, O Living, O Guardian, I plead for help through Your mercy, correct all of my affairs and do not leave me to my own soul not even for a blinking of an eye and grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family.”
