Original Arabic text

5 مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيى، عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسى، عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الْبَرْقِيِّ وَأَبِي طَالِبٍ، عَنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ : عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ (عليه‌السلام) قَالَ : " اللهُمَّ أَنْتَ ثِقَتِي فِي كُلِّ كَرْبٍ وَأَنْتَ رَجَائِي فِي كُلِّ شِدَّةٍ وَأَنْتَ لِي فِي كُلِّ أَمْرٍ نَزَلَ بِي ثِقَةٌ وَعُدَّةٌ، كَمْ مِنْ كَرْبٍ يَضْعُفُ عَنْهُ الْفُؤَادُ وَتَقِلُّ فِيهِ الْحِيلَةُ وَيَخْذُلُ عَنْهُ‌ الْقَرِيبُ وَيَشْمَتُ بِهِ الْعَدُوُّ وَتَعْنِينِي فِيهِ الْأُمُورُ أَنْزَلْتُهُ بِكَ وَشَكَوْتُهُ إِلَيْكَ، رَاغِباً فِيهِ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ فَفَرَّجْتَهُ وَكَشَفْتَهُ وَكَفَيْتَنِيهِ فَأَنْتَ وَلِيُّ كُلِّ نِعْمَةٍ وَصَاحِبُ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ وَمُنْتَهى كُلِّ رَغْبَةٍ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ كَثِيراً وَلَكَ الْمَنُّ فَاضِلاً"

Published English translation

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from abu ‘Abd Allah al-Barqi and abu Talib from Bakr ibn Muhammad from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “O Lord, You are my trustee in every distressful condition. You are my hope in all suffering, You are for me in all of my problems, (You are) my trustee and my resources. How many were the distressful conditions wherein the heart weakened, patience ran thin, people near left out and the enemies rejoiced all matters were exhausted? You assisted me in the matters that I had brought before You and complained about them to You, turning away from everyone besides You and You changed it into happiness, removed the hardships and sufficed it (in its removal). You are the patron of all blessings, the provider of all help, the end of all interests, all praise belongs to You a great deal and thanks to You in addition.”
