12ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ رَفَعَهُ إِلَى أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ اللهمَّ إِنِّي وَهَذَا النَّهَارَ خَلْقَانِ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ اللهمَّ لا تَبْتَلِنِي بِهِ وَلا تَبْتَلِهِ بِي اللهمَّ وَلا تُرِهِ مِنِّي جُرْأَةً عَلَى مَعَاصِيكَ وَلا رُكُوباً لِمَحَارِمِكَ اللهمَّ اصْرِفْ عَنِّيَ الأزْلَ وَاللأوَاءَ وَالْبَلْوَى وَسُوءَ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةَ الأعْدَاءِ وَمَنْظَرَ السَّوْءِ فِي نَفْسِي وَمَالِي قَالَ وَمَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَقُولُ حِينَ يُمْسِي وَيُصْبِحُ رَضِيتُ بِالله رَبّاً وَبِالإسْلامِ دِيناً وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) نَبِيّاً وَبِالْقُرْآنِ بَلاغاً وَبِعَلِيٍّ إِمَاماً ثَلاثاً إِلا كَانَ حَقّاً عَلَى الله الْعَزِيزِ الْجَبَّارِ أَنْ يُرْضِيَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِذَا أَمْسَى أَصْبَحْنَا لله شَاكِرِينَ وَأَمْسَيْنَا لله حَامِدِينَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَمَا أَمْسَيْنَا لَكَ مُسْلِمِينَ سَالِمِينَ قَالَ وَإِذَا أَصْبَحَ قَالَ أَمْسَيْنَا لله شَاكِرِينَ وَأَصْبَحْنَا لله حَامِدِينَ وَالْحَمْدُ لله كَمَا أَصْبَحْنَا لَكَ مُسْلِمِينَ سَالِمِينَ.

Published English translation

12. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Ali in a marfu’ manner from Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) who has said the following: “O Lord, I and this day are two creatures of Your creatures. O Lord, do not make me suffer from it and do not make it suffer from me. O Lord, do not allow it see me bold in disobeying You or committing unlawful things. O Lord, remove from me constraint and poverty, affliction and evil determination, and expression of joy from the enemy for bad things in me, and from being placed on an evil position, my property or myself. “The Imam has said, ‘Any servant (of Allah) who says in the morning or evening three times, “I accept that Allah is my Lord, Islam is my religion, Muhammad (a.s.) is the Prophet, the Holy Quran is the text of Divine message and Ali (a.s.) is my Imam,” three times, it will be a right upon Allah, the Majestic, the Compeller to make him happy on the Day of Judgment. ’ “The Imam has said that he (Ali (a.s.)) would say in the evening, ‘We live in the morning thankful to Allah and we live in the evening praising Allah. All praise belongs to You as we live in the evening submitted to Y our will and in peace. ‘‘The Imam said, ‘He (Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.)) in the morning would say, “We live in the evening thankful to Allah and we live in the morning praising Allah, all praise belongs to Allah. We live in the morning submitted to Your will and in peace.’”
