32. Ibn Mahbub has said that Nuh ibn Yaqdan has narrated from abu ’ Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Say this prayer, ‘O Lord, I plead before You for Your favor that cannot be achieved except with Your happiness, for (Your help to) come out of all disobedience that cannot happen without Your approval, for (Your help to) enter into all that makes You happy, for safety from all dangers, for departure from all major sins that have happened from me, willingly or have slipped out mistakenly, or have passed in my mind due to satanic induction. “I plead before You to place fear in me that can keep me within the limits of Your approval, shatter away from me all lustful evil thoughts that have passed in my desires, that have made my opinion slip away to crossover Your lawful limits. I plead before You, O Lord, to take the best that You know, and ignore all the evil that You find or mistakes that I had no knowledge of or did have the knowledge thereof. “I plead before You for increased sustenance, restraining to suffice with basic needs, coming out of confusing conditions with clearly stated instructions, correctness in evidence, truth in all circumstances, yielding to justice for people against or for my soul, dealing humbly in yielding to justice in all circumstances of anger and contentment, avoiding small or greater degrees of transgression in my words or deeds, completion of Your bounties in all things, and thankfulness to You for it so You are content with happiness. “I plead before You for guidance in all the good choices wherein choices exist and are easy to achieve not that which is hard to achieve. O Magnanimous, O Magnanimous, O Magnanimous, open for me the door to the fact in which there is well being (of the body and spirit) and relief, open for me its door and ease it off to leave. If You may determine for any of Y our creatures to overpower me then hold and seize him by his hearing, his eyes, tongue, and hand, seize him from his right, left, behind, front and before him and prevent him from reaching me with evil. Your neighbor is well protected, glorious is the praise of Your face, and no one deserves to be worshipped except You. You are my Lord, and I am Your slave and servant. O Lord, You are my hope in all pains. You are my hope in all hardships, in all troubles that befall me, on You I depend and Y ou are my resources. How many are the pains that weaken the heart, diminish in it the means, bring rejoice for the enemy, and exhaust the resources. I present them before You, complain to You against it, come to You of all things so You provide me relief and suffice me against it (such pains), thus, You are my benefactor of all the bounties with me, the appropriator of all of my needs, and the end of all of my desires. All praise belongs to You a great deal and (I am) thankful to You in addition.’”
