Sahifa Sajjadiya 45: Farewell to the Month of Ramadan

أللَّهُمَّ يَا مَنْ لا يَرْغَبُ فِي الْجَزَاءِ، وَلاَ يَنْدَمُ عَلَى الْعَطَآءِ، وَيَا مَنْ لاَ يُكَافِئُ عَبْدَهُ عَلَى السَّوآءِ، مِنَّتُكَ ابْتِدَاءٌ، وَعَفْوُكَ تَفَضُّلٌ، وَعُقُوبَتُكَ عَـدْلٌ، وَقَضَاؤُكَ خِيَرَةٌ، إنْ أَعْطَيْتَ لَمْ تَشُبْ عَطَآءَكَ بِمَنٍّ، وَإنْ مَنَعْتَ لَمْ يَكُنْ مَنْعُكَ تَعَدِّيا تَشْكُرُ مَنْ شَكَرَكَ وَأَنْتَ أَلْهَمْتَهُ شُكْرَكَ، وَتُكَافِئُ مَنْ حَمِدَكَ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّمْتَهُ حَمْدَكَ، تَسْتُرُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ شِئْتَ فَضَحْتَهُ وَتَجُودُ عَلَى مَنْ لَوْ شِئْتَ مَنَعْتَهُ، وَكِلاَهُمَا أَهْلٌ مِنْكَ لِلْفَضِيحَةِ وَالْمَنْعِ، غَيْرَ أَنَّكَ بَنَيْتَ أَفْعَالَكَ عَلَى التَّفَضُّلِ، وَأَجْرَيْتَ قُدْرَتَكَ عَلَى التَّجَاوُزِ، وَتَلَقَّيْتَ مَنْ عَصَاكَ بِالحِلْمِ، وَأمْهَلْتَ مَنْ قَصَدَ لِنَفْسِهِ بِالظُّلْمِ تَسْتَنْظِرُهُمْ بِأناتِكَ إلى الإنَابَةِ وَتَتْرُكُ مُعَاجَلَتَهُمْ إلَى التَّوْبَةِ لِكَيْلاَ يَهْلِكَ عَلَيْكَ هَالِكُهُمْ، وَلا يَشْقَى بِنِعْمَتِكَ شَقِيُّهُمْ إلاَّ عَنْ طُولِ الإِعْذَارِ إلَيْهِ، وَبَعْدَ تَرَادُفِ الْحُجَّةِ عَلَيْهِ كَرَماً مِنْ عَفْوِكَ يَا كَرِيْمُ، وَعَائِدَةً مِنْ عَطْفِكَ يَا حَلِيمُ. أَنْتَ الَّذِيْ فَتَحْتَ لِعِبَادِكَ بَاباً إلَى عَفْوِكَ وَسَمَّيْتَهُ التَّوْبَـةَ، وَجَعَلْتَ عَلَى ذلِكَ البَابِ دَلِيلاً مِنْ وَحْيِكَ لِئَلاَّ يَضِلُّوا عَنْهُ فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ : (تُوبُوا إلَى الله تَوْبَةً نَصُوحاً عَسَى رَبُّكُمْ أَنْ يُكَفِّـرَ عَنْكُمْ سَيِّئاتِكُمْ وَيُدْخِلَكُمْ جَنَّات تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الأنْهَارُ يَوْمَ لاَ يُخْزِي اللهُ النَّبِيَّ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ نُورُهُمْ يَسْعَى بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَبِأَيْمَانِهِمْ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا أَتْمِمْ لَنا نُورَنَا وَاغْفِرْ لَنَا إنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء قَدِيرٌ) فَمَا عُذْرُ مَنْ أَغْفَلَ دُخُولَ ذلِكَ الْمَنْزِلِ بَعْدَ فَتْحِ الْبَابِ وَإقَامَةِ الدَّلِيْلِ، وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي زِدْتَ فِي السَّوْمِ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ لِعِبَادِكَ تُرِيدُ رِبْحَهُمْ فِي مُتَاجَرَتِهِمْ لَكَ، وَفَوْزَهُمْ بِالْوِفَادَةِ عَلَيْكَ وَالزِّيادَةِ مِنْكَ فَقُلْتَ تَبَارَكَ اسْمُكَ وَتَعَالَيْتَ: (مَنْ جَاءَ بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَهُ عَشْرُ أَمْثَالِهَا وَمَنْ جَاءَ بِالسَّيِّئَةِ فَلاَ يُجْزى إلاّ مِثْلَهَا) وَقُلْتَ: (مَثَلُ الَّذِينَ يُنْفِقُونَ أَمْوَالَهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ الله كَمَثَلِ حَبَّة أَنْبَتَتْ سَبْعَ سَنَابِلَ فِي كُلِّ سُنْبُلَة مَائَةُ حَبَّة وَالله يُضَاعِفُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ) وَقُلْتَ: (مَنْ ذَا الَّذِيْ يُقْرِضُ الله قَرْضاً حَسَنَاً فَيُضَاعِفَهُ لَهُ أضْعَافاً كَثِيرَةً) وَمَا أَنْزَلْتَ مِنْ نَظَائِرِهِنَّ فِي الْقُرْآنِ مِنْ تَضَاعِيفِ الْحَسَنَاتِ، وَأَنْتَ الَّذِي دَلَلْتَهُمْ بِقَوْلِكَ مِنْ غَيْبِكَ وَتَرْغِيْبِكَ الَّذِي فِيهِ حَظُّهُمْ عَلَى مَا لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ عَنْهُمْ لَمْ تُدْرِكْهُ أَبْصَارُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَعِـهِ أَسْمَاعُهُمْ وَلَمْ تَلْحَقْـهُ أَوْهَامُهُمْ فَقُلْتَ: (اذْكُرُونِي أَذْكُرْكُمْ وَاشْكُرُوا لِيْ وَلا تَكْفُرُونِ) وَقُلْتَ: (لَئِنْ شَكَـرْتُمْ لازِيدَنَّكمْ وَلَئِنْ كَفَـرْتُمْ إنَّ عَذابِيْ لَشَدِيدٌ) وَقُلْتَ : (ادْعُونِيْ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ) فَسَمَّيْتَ دُعَاءَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَتَرْكَهُ اسْتِكْبَاراً، وَتَوَعَّدْتَ عَلَى تَرْكِهِ دُخُولَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ، فَذَكَرُوكَ بِمَنِّكَ وَشَكَرُوكَ بِفَضْلِكَ، وَدَعَوْكَ بِأَمْرِكَ، وَتَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ، وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ، وَفَوْزُهُمْ بِرِضَاكَ، وَلَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِيْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ كَانَ مَوْصُوْفَاً بالإحْسَان وَمَنْعُوتاً بِالامْتِثَال ومحمُوداً بكلِّ لِسَان، فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ، وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ وَمَعْنىً يَنْصَرفُ إلَيْهِ يَـا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إلَى عِبَـادِهِ بِالإِحْسَـانِ وَالْفَضْل، وَغَمَرَهُمْ بِالْمَنِّ وَالطَّوْلِ، مَا أَفْشَى فِيْنَا نِعْمَتَكَ وَأَسْبَغَ عَلَيْنَا مِنَّتَكَ، وَأَخَصَّنَا بِبِرِّكَ هَدْيَتَنَا لِدِيْنِكَ الَّـذِي اصْطَفَيْتَ، وَمِلَّتِـكَ الَّتِي ارْتَضَيْتَ، وَسَبِيلِكَ الَّذِي سَهَّلْتَ، وَبَصَّرْتَنَا الزُّلْفَةَ لَدَيْكَ وَالوُصُولَ إلَى كَـرَامَتِكَ. أللَّهُمَّ وَأَنْتَ جَعَلْتَ مِنْ صَفَـايَـا تِلْكَ الْوَظَائِفِ وَخَصَائِصِ تِلْكَ الْفُرُوضِ شَهْرَ رَمَضَانَ الَّذِي اخْتَصَصْتَهُ مِنْ سَائِرِ الشُّهُورِ، وَتَخَيَّرْتَهُ مِن جَمِيعِ الأزْمِنَةِ وَالدُّهُورِ، وَآثَرْتَهُ عَلَى كُلِّ أَوْقَاتِ السَّنَةِ بِمَا أَنْزَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالنُّورِ، وَضَاعَفْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ الإيْمَانِ، وَفَرَضْتَ فِيْهِ مِنَ الصِّيَامِ، وَرَغَّبْتَ فِيهِ مِنَ القِيَامِ، وَأَجْلَلْتَ فِيهِ مِنْ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْر، ثُمَّ آثَرْتَنَا بِهِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الأُمَمِ وَاصْطَفَيْتَنَا بِفَضْلِهِ دُوْنَ أَهْلِ الْمِلَلِ، فَصُمْنَا بِأَمْرِكَ نَهَارَهُ، وَقُمْنَا بِعَوْنِكَ لَيْلَهُ مُتَعَرِّضِينَ بِصِيَامِهِ وَقِيَامِهِ لِمَا عَرَّضْتَنَا لَهُ مِنْ رَحْمَتِكَ، وَتَسَبَّبْنَا إلَيْـهِ مِنْ مَثُوبَتِكَ، وَأَنْتَ الْمَليءُ بِمَا رُغِبَ فِيهِ إلَيْكَ، الْجَوَادُ بِمـا سُئِلْتَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ، الْقَـرِيبُ إلَى مَنْ حَـاوَلَ قُرْبَكَ، وَقَدْ أَقَامَ فِينَا هَذَا الشَّهْرُ مَقَامَ حَمْد وَصَحِبَنَا صُحْبَةَ مَبْرُور، وَأَرْبَحَنَا أَفْضَلَ أَرْبَاحِ الْعَالَمِينَ، ثُمَّ قَدْ فَارَقَنَا عِنْدَ تَمَامِ وَقْتِهِ وَانْقِطَاعِ مُدَّتِهِ وَوَفَاءِ عَدَدِهِ، فَنَحْنُ مُوَدِّعُوهُ وِدَاعَ مَنْ عَزَّ فِرَاقُهُ عَلَيْنَا وَغَمَّنَا وَأَوْحَشَنَا انْصِرَافُهُ عَنَّا وَلَزِمَنَا لَهُ الذِّمَامُ الْمَحْفُوظُ، وَالْحُرْمَةُ الْمَرْعِيَّةُ، وَالْحَقُّ الْمَقْضِيُّ، فَنَحْنُ قَائِلُونَ: السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَا شَهْرَ اللهِ الأكْبَرَ، وَيَا عِيْدَ أَوْلِيَائِهِ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ يَـا أكْرَمَ مَصْحُـوب مِنَ الأوْقَاتِ، وَيَا خَيْرَ شَهْر فِي الأيَّامِ وَالسَّاعَاتِ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهْر قَرُبَتْ فِيهِ الآمالُ وَنُشِرَتْ فِيهِ الأَعْمَالُ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ قَرِين جَلَّ قَدْرُهُ مَوْجُوداً، وَأَفْجَعَ فَقْدُهُ مَفْقُوداً، وَمَرْجُوٍّ آلَمَ فِرَاقُهُ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ أَلِيف آنَسَ مُقْبِلاً فَسَرَّ وَأَوْحَشَ مُنْقَضِياً فَمَضَّ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ مُجَاوِر رَقَّتْ فِيهِ الْقُلُوبُ، وَقَلَّتْ فِيهِ الذُّنُوبُ. السَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نَاصِر أَعَانَ عَلَى الشَّيْطَانِ وَصَاحِب سَهَّلَ سُبُلَ الإحْسَانِ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مَا أكْثَرَ عُتَقَاءَ اللهِ فِيكَ وَمَا أَسْعَدَ مَنْ رَعَى حُرْمَتَكَ بكَ!. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ أَمْحَاكَ لِلذُّنُوبِ، وَأَسْتَرَكَ لِأنْوَاعِ الْعُيُوبِ! أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مَا كَانَ أَطْوَلَكَ عَلَى الْمُجْرِمِينَ، وَأَهْيَبَكَ فِي صُدُورِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ! أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهْر لا تُنَافِسُهُ الأيَّامُ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ شَهْر هُوَ مِنْ كُلِّ أَمْر سَلاَمٌ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ غَيْرَ كَرِيهِ الْمُصَاحَبَةِ وَلاَ ذَمِيمِ الْمُلاَبَسَةِ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ كَمَا وَفَدْتَ عَلَيْنَا بِالْبَرَكَاتِ، وَغَسَلْتَ عَنَّا دَنَسَ الْخَطِيئاتِ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ غَيْرَ مُوَدَّع بَرَماً وَلاَ مَتْرُوك صِيَامُهُ سَأَماً. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ مَطْلُوبِ قَبْلَ وَقْتِهِ وَمَحْزُون عَلَيْهِ قَبْلَ فَوْتِهِ. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ كَمْ مِنْ سُوء صُرِفَ بِكَ عَنَّا وَكَمْ مِنْ خَيْر أُفِيضَ بِكَ عَلَيْنَا. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْـكَ وَعَلَى لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ الَّتِي هِيَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ شَهْر. أَلسَّلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ ما كَانَ أَحْرَصَنَا بِالأمْسِ عَلَيْكَ وَأَشَدَّ شَوْقَنَا غَدَاً إلَيْكَ. أَلسَلاَمُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى فَضْلِكَ الَّذِي حُرِمْنَاهُ ، وَعَلَى مَاض مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ سُلِبْنَاهُ. أَللَّهُمَّ إنَّا أَهْلُ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ الِّذِي شَرَّفْتَنَا بِهِ وَوَفّقتَنَا بِمَنِّكَ لَهُ حِينَ جَهِلَ الاَشْقِيَا وَقْتَهُ وَحُرِمُوا لِشَقَائِهِم فَضْلَهُ، أَنْتَ وَلِيُّ مَا اثَرْتَنَا بِهِ مِنْ مَعْرِفَتِهِ، وَهَدَيْتَنَا مِنْ سُنَّتِهِ، وَقَدْ تَوَلَّيْنَا بِتَوْفِيقِكَ صِيَامَهُ وَقِيَامَهُ عَلى تَقْصِير، وَأَدَّيْنَا فِيهِ قَلِيلاً مِنْ كَثِيـر. اللَّهُمَّ فَلَكَ الْحمدُ إقْـرَاراً بِـالإسَاءَةَ وَاعْتِرَافاً بِالإضَاعَةِ، وَلَك مِنْ قُلُوبِنَا عَقْدُ النَّدَمِ، وَمِنْ أَلْسِنَتِنَا صِدْقُ الاعْتِذَارِ، فَاْجُرْنَا عَلَى مَا أَصَابَنَا فِيهِ مِنَ التَّفْرِيطِ أَجْرَاً نَسْتَدْركُ بِهِ الْفَضْلَ الْمَرْغُوبَ فِيهِ، وَنَعْتَاضُ بِهِ مِنْ أَنْوَاعِ الذُّخْرِ الْمَحْرُوصِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَوْجِبْ لَنَا عُذْرَكَ عَلَى مَا قَصَّرْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ حَقِّكَ، وَابْلُغْ بِأَعْمَارِنَا مَا بَيْنَ أَيْديْنَا مِنْ شَهْرِ رَمَضَانَ الْمُقْبِلِ، فَإذَا بَلَّغْتَنَاهُ فَأَعِنَّا عَلَى تَنَاوُلِ مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادَةِ وَأَدِّنَا إلَى الْقِيَامِ بِمَا يَسْتَحِقُّهُ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَأجْرِ لنا مِنْ صَالِحِ العَمَلِ مَا يَكون دَرَكاً لِحَقِّكَ فِي الشَّهْرَيْنِ مِنْ شُهُورِ الدَّهْرِ. أللَّهُمَّ وَمَا أَلْمَمْنَا بِهِ فِي شَهْرِنَا هَذَا مِنْ لَمَم أَوْ إثْم، أَوْ وَاقَعْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ ذَنْبِ وَاكْتَسَبْنَا فِيهِ مِنْ خَطِيئَة عَلَى تَعَمُّد مِنَّا أو عَلى نِسيانٍ ظَلَمنا فيه أنفُسَنا أَوِ انْتَهَكْنَا بِهِ حُرْمَةً مِنْ غَيْرِنَا فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَاسْتُرْنَا بِسِتْرِكَ، وَاعْفُ عَنَّا بِعَفْوِكَ، وَلاَ تَنْصِبْنَا فِيهِ لاِعْيُنِ الشَّامِتِينَ، وَلاَ تَبْسُطْ عَلَيْنَا فِيهِ أَلْسُنَ الطَّاعِنينَ، وَاسْتَعْمِلْنَا بِمَا يَكُونُ حِطَّةً وَكَفَّارَةً لِمَا أَنْكَرْتَ مِنَّا فِيهِ بِرَأْفَتِكَ الَّتِي لاَ تَنْفَدُ، وَفَضْلِكَ الَّذِي لا يَنْقُصُ. أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَاجْبُرْ مُصِيبَتنَا بِشَهْرِنَا وَبَارِكْ فِي يَوْمِ عِيْدِنَا وَفِطْرِنَا وَاجْعَلْهُ مِنْ خَيْرِ يَوْم مَرَّ عَلَيْنَا أَجْلَبِهِ لِعَفْو، وَأَمْحَاهُ لِذَنْبِ، وَاغْفِرْ لَنا ما خَفِيَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِنَا وَمَا عَلَنَ. أللَّهُمَّ اسلَخْنَا بِانْسِلاَخِ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ مِنْ خَطَايَانَا وَأَخْرِجْنَا بُخُرُوجِهِ مِنْ سَيِّئاتِنَا وَاجْعَلْنَا مِنْ أَسْعَدِ أَهْلِهِ بِهِ وَأَجْزَلِهِمْ قِسَمَاً فِيـهِ وَأَوْفَـرِهِمْ حَظّاً مِنْـهُ. أللّهُمَّ وَمَنْ رَعَى حَقّ هَذَا الشَّهْرِ حَقَّ رِعَايَتِهِ وَحَفِظَ حُرْمَتَهُ حَقَّ حِفْظِهَا وَقَامَ بِحُدُودِهِ حَقَّ قِيَامِهَا، وَأتَّقَى ذُنُوبَهُ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهَا أَوْ تَقَرَّبَ إلَيْكَ بِقُرْبَة أَوْجَبَتْ رِضَاكَ لَهُ وَعَطَفَتْ رَحْمَتَكَ عَلَيْهِ، فَهَبْ لَنَا مِثْلَهُ مِنْ وُجْدِكَ وَأَعْطِنَا أَضْعَافَهُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فَإنَّ فَضْلَكَ، لا يَغِيْضُ وَإنَّ خَـزَائِنَكَ لا تَنْقُصُ، بَـلْ تَفِيضُ وَإنَّ مَعَـادِنَ إحْسَانِكَ لا تَفْنَى، وَإنَّ عَطَاءَكَ لَلْعَطَآءُ الْمُهَنَّا، أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ وَاكْتُبْ لَنَا مِثْلَ أجُورِ مَنْ صَامَهُ أَوْ تَعَبَّدَ لَكَ فِيْهِ إلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. أللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نَتُوبُ إلَيْكَ فِي يَوْمِ فِطْرِنَا الّذِي جَعَلْتَهُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ عِيداً وَسُـرُوراً. وَلأِهْلِ مِلَّتِكَ مَجْمَعاً وَمُحْتشداً مِنْ كُلِّ ذَنْب أَذْنَبْنَاهُ، أَوْ سُوْء أَسْلَفْنَاهُ، أَوْ خَاطِرِ شَرٍّ أَضْمَرْنَاهُ، تَوْبَةَ مَنْ لاَ يَنْطَوِيْ عَلَى رُجُوع إلَى ذَنْب وَلا يَعُودُ بَعْدَهَا فِي خَطِيئَة، تَوْبَةً نَصوحاً خَلَصَتْ مِنَ الشَّكِّ وَالارْتِيَابِ، فَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنَّا وَارْضَ عَنَّا وَثَبِّتنَا عَلَيْهَا. أللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا خَوْفَ عِقَابِ الْوَعِيدِ، وَشَوْقَ ثَوَابِ الْمَوْعُودِ حَتّى نَجِدَ لَذَّةَ مَا نَدْعُوكَ بِهِ، وكَأْبَةَ مَا نَسْتَجِيْرُكَ مِنْهُ، وَاجْعَلْنَا عِنْدَكَ مِنَ التَّوَّابِيْنَ الَّذِينَ أَوْجَبْتَ لَهُمْ مَحَبَّتَكَ، وَقَبِلْتَ مِنْهُمْ مُرَاجَعَةَ طَاعَتِكَ، يَا أَعْدَلَ الْعَادِلِينَ. أللَّهُمَّ تَجَاوَزْ عَنْ آبآئِنَا وَأُمَّهَاتِنَا وَأَهْلِ دِيْنِنَا جَمِيعاً مَنْ سَلَفَ مِنْهُمْ وَمَنْ غَبَرَ إلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ. أللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد نَبِيِّنَا وَآلِهِ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى مَلائِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِينَ. وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِكَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ، وَصَلِّ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى عِبَادِكَ الصَّالِحِينَ، وَأَفْضَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ يَا رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ، صَلاَةً تَبْلُغُنَا بَرَكَتُهَا، وَيَنَالُنَا نَفْعُهَا، وَيُسْتَجَابُ لَهَا دُعَاؤُنَا، إنَّكَ أكْرَمُ مَنْ رُغِبَ إلَيْهِ وَأكْفَى مَنْ تُوُكِّلَ عَلَيْهِ وَأَعْطَى مَنْ سُئِلَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْء قَدِيرٌ.

1.O God, O He who desires no repayment! 2.O He who shows no remorse at bestowal! 3.O He who rewards not His servant tit for tat! 4.Your kindness is a new beginning, Your pardon gratuitous bounty, 5.Your punishment justice, Your decree a choice for the best! 6.If You bestowest, You stainest not Your bestowal with obligation, 7.and if You withholdest, You withholdest not in transgression. 8.You showest gratitude to him who thanks You, while You hast inspired him to thank You. 9.You rewardest him who praises You, while though You hast taught him Your praise. 10.You coverest him whom, if You willed, You wouldst expose, 11.and You art generous toward him from whom, if You willed, You wouldst withhold. 12.Both are worthy of Your exposure and withholding, 13.but You hast founded Your acts upon gratuitous bounty, 14.channelled Your power into forbearance, 15.received him who disobeyed You with clemency, 16.and disregarded him who intended wrongdoing against himself. 17.You awaitest their turning back without haste and refrainest from rushing them toward repentance, 18.so that the perisher among them may not perish because of You 19.and the wretched may not be wretched through Your favour, 20.but only after Your prolonged excusing him 21.and successive arguments against him, 22.as an act of generosity through Your pardon, O Generous, 23.and an act of kindliness through Your tenderness, O Clement! 24.It is You who hast opened for Your servants a door 25.to Your pardon, which You hast named 'repentance'. 26.You hast placed upon that door a pointer from Your revelation, 27.lest they stray from it: You hast said (blessed is Your Name), 28."Repent toward God with unswerving repentance! It may be that Your Lord 29.will acquit of your evil deeds and will admit you into 30.gardens beneath which rivers flow, 31.upon the day when God will not degrade the Prophet 32.and those who have faith along with him, their light running before them and on their right hands, 33.and they say: 'Our Lord, complete for us our light, and forgive us! 34.Surely You art powerful over everything" (66:8). 35.What is the excuse of him who remains heedless of entering that house 36.after the opening of the door and the setting up of the pointer? 37.It is You who hast raised the price against Yourself to the advantage of Your servants, 38.desiring their profit in their trade with You, 39.their triumph through reaching You, and their increase on account of You, 40.for You hast said (blessed is Your Name and high art You exalted), 41."Whoso brings a good deed shall have ten the like of it, 42.and whoso brings an evil deed shall only be recompensed the like of it" (6:160). 43.You hast said, "The likeness of those who expend their wealth in the way of God is as the likeness of a grain of corn 44.that sprouts seven ears, in every ear a hundred grains; 45.so God multiplies unto whom He wills" (2:261). 46.You hast said, "Who is he that will lend to God a good loan, 47.and He will multiply it for him manifold" (2:245)? 48.And You hast sent down in the Qur'an similar verses on the multiplying of good deeds. 49.It is You who hast pointed them through Your speech from Your Unseen and Your encouragement 50.in which lies their good fortune toward that which - hadst You covered it from them 51.their eyes would not have perceived, their ears would not have heard, 52.and their imaginations would not have grasped, 53.for You hast said, "Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me" (2:152)! 54.You hast said, "If you are thankful, surely I will increase you, 55.but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible" (14:7); 56.And You hast said, "Supplicate Me and I will respond to you, 57.surely those who wax too proud to worship Me 58.shall enter Gehenna utterly abject" (40:60). 59.Hence You hast named supplicating You 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud', 60.and You hast threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection. 61.So they remember You for Your kindness, they thank You for Your bounty, 62.they supplicate You by Your command, 63.and they donate for You in order to seek Your increase; 64.in all this lies their deliverance from Your wrath 65.and their triumph through Your good pleasure. 66.Were any creature himself to direct another creature 67.to the like of that to which You Yourself hast directed Your servants, 68.he would be described by beneficence, 69.qualified by kindness, and praised by every tongue. 70.So to You belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise You 71.and as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise! 72.O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty, 73.flooding them with kindness and graciousness! 74.How much Your favour has been spread about among us, Your kindness lavished upon us, 75.and Your goodness singled out for us! 76.You hast guided us to Your religion which You hast chosen, 77.Your creed with which You art pleased, 78.and Your path which You hast made smooth, 79.and You hast shown us proximity to You and arrival at Your generosity! 80.O God, You hast appointed among the choicest of those duties 81.and the most special of those obligations 82.the month of Ramadan, which You hast singled out from other months, 83.chosen from among all periods and eras, 84.and preferred over all times of the year 85.through the Qur'an and the Light which You sent down within it, 86.the faith which You multiplied by means of it, 87.the fasting which You obligated therein, 88.the standing in prayer which You encouraged at its time, 89.and the Night of Decree which You magnified therein, 90.the night which is "better than a thousand months" (97:3). 91.Through it You hast preferred us over the other communities 92.and through its excellence You hast chosen us to the exclusion of the people of the creeds. 93.We fasted by Your command in its daylight, 94.we stood in prayer with Your help in its night, 95.presenting ourselves by its fasting and its standing to the mercy which You hast held up before us, 96.and we found through it the means to Your reward. 97.And You art full of what is sought from You, 98.munificent with what is asked of Your bounty, 99.and near to him who strives for Your nearness. 100.This month stood among us in a standing place of praise, 101.accompanied us with the companionship of one approved, 102.and profited us with the most excellent profit of the world's creatures. 103.Then it parted from us at the completion of its time, the end of its term, and the fulfilment of its number. 104.So we bid farewell to it with the farewell of one whose parting pains us, 105.whose leaving fills us with gloom and loneliness, 106.and to whom we have come to owe a safeguarded claim, 107.an observed inviolability, and a discharged right. 108.We say: Peace be upon You, 109.O greatest month of God! O festival of His friends! 110.Peace be upon You, O most noble of accompanying times! 111.O best of months in days and hours! 112.Peace be upon You, month in which expectations come near 113.and good works are scattered about! 114.Peace be upon You, comrade who is great in worth when found 115.and who torments through absence when lost, anticipated friend whose parting gives pain! 116.Peace be upon You, familiar who brought comfort in coming, thus making happy, 117.who left loneliness in going, thus giving anguish! 118.Peace be upon You, neighbour in whom hearts became tender and sins became few! 119.Peace be upon You, helper who aided against Satan, 120.companion who made easy the paths of good-doing! 121.Peace be upon You - How many became freedmen of God within You! 122.How happy those who observed the respect due to You! 123.Peace be upon You - How many the sins You erased! 124.How many the kinds of faults You covered over! 125.Peace be upon You - How drawn out wert You for the sinners! 126.How awesome wert You in the hearts of the faithful! 127.Peace be upon You, month with which no days compete! 128.Peace be upon You, month which is peace in all affairs! 129.Peace be upon You, You whose companionship is not disliked, 130.You whose friendly mixing is not blamed! 131.Peace be upon You, just as You hast entered upon us with blessings 132.and cleansed us of the defilement of offenses! 133.Peace be upon You - You art not bid farewell in annoyance 134.nor is Your fasting left in weariness! 135.Peace be upon You, object of seeking before Your time, 136.object of sorrow before Your passing! 137.Peace be upon You - How much evil was turned away from us through You! 138.How much good flowed upon us because of You! 139.Peace be upon You and upon the Night of Decree 140.which is "better than a thousand months" (97:3)! 141.Peace be upon You - How much we craved You yesterday! 142.How intensely we shall yearn for You tomorrow! 143.Peace be upon You and upon Your bounty which has now been made unlawful to us 144.and upon Your blessings gone by which have now been stripped away from us! 145.O God, we are the people of this month. Through it You hast ennobled us 146.and given us success because of Your kindness, while the wretched are ignorant of its time. 147.Made unlawful to them is its bounty because of their wretchedness. 148.You art the patron of the knowledge of it by which You hast preferred us, 149.and its prescribed practices to which You hast guided us. 150.We have undertaken, through Your giving success, its fasting and its standing in prayer, but with shortcomings, 151.and we have performed little of much. 152.O God, so to You belongs praise, in admission of evil doing 153.and confession of negligence, and to You belongs remorse firmly knitted in our hearts 154.and seeking of pardon sincerely uttered by our tongues. 155.Reward us, in spite of the neglect that befell us in this month, 156.with a reward through which we may reach the bounty desired from it 157.and win the varieties of its craved stores! 158.Make incumbent upon us Your pardon for our falling short of Your right in this month 159.and make our lives which lie before us reach the coming month of Ramadan! 160.Once You hast made us reach it, help us perform 161.the worship of which You art worthy, 162.cause us to undertake the obedience which You deservest, 163.and grant us righteous works 164.that we may fulfil Your right in these two months of the months of time. 165.O God, as for the small and large sins which we have committed in this our month, 166.the misdeeds into which we have fallen, and the offenses which we have earned 167.purposefully or in forgetfulness, wronging ourselves thereby or violating the respect due to others, 168.bless Muhammad and his Household, cover us over with Your covering, 169.pardon us through Your pardoning, 170.place us not before the eyes of the gloaters because of that, 171.stretch not toward us the tongues of the defamers, 172.and employ us in that which will alleviate and expiate 173.whatever You disapprovest from us within it through Your clemency which does not run out, 174.and Your bounty which does not diminish! 175.O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, 176.redress our being afflicted by our month, 177.bless us in this day of our festival and our fast-breaking, 178.make it one of the best of days that have passed over us, the greatest in attracting Your pardon, and the most effacing toward sins, 179.and forgive us our sins, both the concealed and the public! 180.O God, with the passing of this month make us pass forth from our offenses, 181.with its departure make us depart from our evil deeds, 182.and appoint us thereby among its most felicitous people, 183.the most plentiful of them in portion, and the fullest of them in share! 184.O God, when any person observes this month as it should be observed, 185.safeguards its inviolability as it should be safeguarded, attends to its bounds as they should be attended to, 186.fears its misdeeds as they should be feared, or seeks nearness to You with any act of nearness-seeking 187.which makes incumbent upon him Your good pleasure and bends toward him Your mercy, 188.give to us the like [of that] from Your wealth 189.and bestow it upon us in multiples through Your bounty, 190.for Your bounty does not diminish, Your treasuries do not decrease but overflow, 191.the mines of Your beneficence are not exhausted, 192.and Your bestowal is the bestowal full of delight! 193.O God, bless Muhammad and his Household 194.and write for us the like of the wages of him who fasted in it 195.or worshipped You within it until the Day of Resurrection! 196.O God, we repent to You in our day of fast-breaking, 197.which You hast appointed for the faithful a festival and a joy 198.and for the people of Your creed a time of assembly and gathering, from every misdeed we did, 199.ill work we sent ahead, or evil thought we secretly conceived, 200.the repentance of one who does not harbour a return to sin 201.and who afterwards will not go back to offense, 202.an unswerving repentance rid of doubt and wavering. 203.So accept it from us, be pleased with us, and fix us within it! 204.God, provide us with fear of the threatened punishment 205.and yearning for the promised reward, so that we may find the pleasure of that for which we supplicate You 206.and the sorrow of that from which we seek sanctuary in You! 207.And place us with You among the repenters, those upon whom You hast made Your love obligatory 208.and from whom You hast accepted the return to obeying You! O Most Just of the just! 209.O God, show forbearance toward our fathers and our mothers and all the people of our religion, 210.those who have gone and those who will pass by, until the Day of Resurrection! 211.O God, bless our prophet Muhammad and his Household, 212.as You hast blessed Your angels brought nigh, 213.bless him and his Household, 214.as You hast blessed Your prophets sent out, 215.bless him and his Household, as You hast blessed Your righteous servants 216.- and better than that, O Lord of the worlds! 217.a blessing whose benediction will reach us, whose benefit will attain to us, 218.and through which our supplication may be granted! 219.You art the most generous of those who are beseeched, 220.the most sufficient of those in whom confidence is had, 221.the most bestowing of those from whom bounty is asked, 222.and You art powerful over everything!
