8. From Usul Kafi
- 303
الْحَمْدُ لَِّ الَّذِي يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ وَ لَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ غَيْرُهُ الَْمْدُ لَِّ كَمَا يُِبُّ اللَُّ أَنْ يُْمَدَ الَْمْدُ لَِّ كَمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ اللَّهُمَّ أَدْخِلْنِ فِ كُلِّ خَيٍْ أَدْخَلْتَ فِيهِ مَُمَّداً وَ آلَ مَُمَّدٍ وَ أَخْرِجْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ سُوءٍ أَخْرَجْتَ مِنْهُ مَُمَّداً وَ آلَ مَُمَّدٍ وَ صَلَّى اللَُّ عَلَى مَُمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مَُمَّدٍ.
"All praise belongs to Allāh Who does as He wishes and no one other than Him can do as he wishes. All praise be to Allāh, the way Allāh loves to be praised. All praise be to Allāh, just as He is deserving of it. O Allāh, make me enter upon every good that you made Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad enter, and take me out of every evil that you took Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad out of it, and the blessing of Allāh be upon Muḥammad and the Household of Muḥammad."'"
- 304
لَ إِلَهَ إِلَّ اللَُّ وَحْدَهُ لَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَ لَ ه الَْمْدُ يُْيِي وَ يُِيتُ وَ يُِيتُ وَ يُْيِي وَ هُوَ حَيٌّ لَ يَُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الَْيْرُ وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَ يءٍ قَدِيرٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ تَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِللَِّ السَّمِيعِ الْعَلِيمِ مِنْ هَزَاتِ الشَّيَاطِينِ وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ رَبِّ أَنْ يَْضُرُونِ إِنَّ اللََّ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
'There is no deity but Allāh, alone, without any partner. His is the Kingdom and all praise belongs to Him. He gives life and causes death, He causes death and gives life, and He is ever-living and does not die. In His hand is all good and He has power over all things.' Then he should say ten times: 'I seek refuge with Allāh,the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing, from the whisperings of the devils and I seek Your refuge, O Lord, from their presence near me, indeed Allāh is All-Hearing, All-Knowing,'
- 305
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْنِ فِ دِرْعِكَ الَْصِينَةِ الَّتِ تَْعَلُ فِيهَا مَنْ تُرِيدُ
'O Allāh, place me in your protective shield wherein You place those whom You wish.'
- 306
أَصْبَحْتُ وَ رَبِّ مَْمُودٌ أَصْبَحْتُ لَ أُشْرِكُ بِللَِّ شَيْئاً وَ لَ أَدْعُو مَعَهُ إِلَاً وَ لَ أَتَِّذُ مِنْ دُونِهِ وَلِيّاً
"I awake and my Lord be praised. I awake without ascribing anything as a partner to Allāh, and I do not call upon any other god with Him, nor do I take any guardian besides Him."
- 307
