Published English translation

23. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Hammad al-Kufi from ‘Amr ibn Musa’B from Furat ibn al-Ahnaf from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “You may give up whatever you give up but do not give up to say every morning and in the evening the following: “O Lord, this morning I seek forgiveness from You on this day for the people of kindness and disavow the people subject to Your condemnation. “O Lord, this morning and on this day I disavow the pagans around us, and what they worship. They were an evil people. “O Lord, this morning and on this day make everything that You will send from the sky to earth a blessing for Your friends and a punishment for Your enemies. “O Lord, love those who love You and be the enemy of Your enemies. “O Lord, finish for me every sunset and sunrise with peace and belief. “O Lord, forgive my parents and me and be kind to them just as they were kind to me for bringing me up as a small person. “O Lord, forgive the believing male and female, Muslim male and female, their living and their dead. O Lord, You know their activities and their dwellings. “O Lord, protect the Imam of the Muslims with the protection of belief, grant him a powerful victory, easy conquest and assign for him and for us, from before You, a supportive authority. “O Lord, condemn so and so and the groups who deferred against Your Messenger, people possessing Authority from You after Your Messenger, the A’immah after him and their Shi’a (followers). I plead before You for more of Your generosity, to affirm whatever he (Your Messenger) has brought from You, submission to Your command, and to be protective of what You have commanded to follow. I do not want thereby any payment or to sell it for a little price. “O Lord, guide me along with those whom You have granted guidance, spare me from the evil of whatever You have decided; You decide and no one can judge against You and no one who loves You is humiliated. You are blessed and high, glory belongs to You, Lord of the House, accept my prayer. And the means through which I sought nearness to You, increase them for me several times and much more. Grant us, from before You, favors and great rewards. Lord, how good is the test that You placed me in, whatever great favors You have granted me and the long time that I enjoyed good health! How much is the cover with which You have covered up my faults! All praise belongs to You, O Lord, a great deal, fine and blessed to the fill of the heavens and earth, to the fill of what my Lord wills as He loves and consents, as it should be worthwhile of my Lord, the Possessor of glory and honor.’”
