21. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “O Lord, all praise belongs to You. I praise You, beg assistance from You. You are my Lord, and I am Your servant. This morning I am with Your covenant and promise. I believe in Your promise and I am truthful to Your covenant as much as I can. There are no means and no power without the help of Allah, alone. Who has no partner. I testify that Muhammad is His servant and Messenger. This morning I follow the original religion of submission (Islam), and the word of sincerity, the tradition of Ibrahim and the religion of Muhammad. With this I live and will die, if Allah so wills. O Lord, grant me life, as long as You want, on this (belief) and cause me to die when You will cause me to die with this (belief), and raise me when you will with this (belief). Through this I seek Your happiness, and follow Your way. From You I beg support and to You I leave my affairs. Ale (family of) Muhammad, are my ‘A’immah (plural of Imam) and no one else is my Imam. I follow them, it is they whom I love and their footsteps I follow. O Lord, allow them to be my guardians in this world and in the hereafter and make me love their friends and be the enemy of their enemies in this world and in the next life. Join me with the virtuous people and my anscestors with them.’”
