The supplication on SaturdaysThis dua from Imam Zainul Abideen is to be recited on Saturdays
بِسْمِ ٱللَّه ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ كَلِمَةِ ٱلْمُعْتَصِمِينَ
“In the name of Allah,” the word of those who hold fast to Him,
وَمَقَالَةِ ٱلْمُتَحَرِّزِينَ
the speech of those who seek His protection
وَ اعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ مِنْ جَوْرِ ٱلْجَائِرِينَ
I seek refuge in Allah, high exalted is He, from the injustice of the unjust,
وَكَيْدِ ٱلْحَاسِدِينَ
the trickery of the enviers,
وَبَغْيِ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
and the oppression of the wrongdoers,
وَ احْمَدُهُ فَوْقَ حَمْدِ ٱلْحَامِدِينَ
and I praise Him beyond the praise of the praisers!
اَللَّهُمَّ انْتَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ بِلا شَرِيكٍ
O Allah, You are the One without partner,
وَٱلْمَلِكُ بِلا تَمْلِيكٍ
and the King without having been made sovereign;
لاَ تُضَادُّ فِي حُكْمِكَ
no one opposes You in Your decree
وَلاَ تُنَازَعُ فِي مُلْكِكَ
and no one contests You in Your kingdom.
اسْالُكَ انْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ
I beseech You to bless Muhammad and his Household,
عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ
Your servant and Your messenger,
وَانْ تُوْزِعَنِي مِنْ شُكْرِ نَعْمَاكَ
inspire me with a thanksgiving for Your favors
مَا تَبْلُغُ بِي غَايَةَ رِضَاكَ
that You take to the utmost limit of Your good pleasure,
وَانْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ
help me to obey You,
وَلُزُومِ عِبَادَتِكَ
hold fast to worshiping You,
وَٱسْتِحْقَاقِ مَثُوبَتِكَ
and deserve Your reward,
بِلُطْفِ عِنَايَتِكَ
through the gentleness of Your solicitude
وَتَرْحَمَنِي وَتَصُدَّنِي عَنْ مَعَاصِيكَ مَا احْيَيْتَنِي
have mercy upon me, bar me from acts of disobedience to You as long as You keep me alive,
وَتُوَفِّقَنِي لِمَا يَنْفَعُنِي مَا ابْقَيْتَنِي
give me success in what profits me as long as You spare me,
وَانْ تَشْرَحَ بِكِتَابِكَ صَدْرِي
expand my breast through Your Book,
وَتَحُطَّ بِتِلاوَتِهِ وِزْرِي
lessen my burden through its recitation,
وَتَمْنَحَنِي ٱلسَّلامَةَ فِي دِينِي وَنَفْسِي
bestow upon me health in my religion and my soul,
وَلاَ تُوحِشْ بِي اهلَ انْسِي
estrange not my intimates from me,
وَتُتِمَّ إِحْسَانَكَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي
and complete Your beneficence in what is left of my lifetime,
كَمَا احْسَنْتَ فِيمَا مَضَىٰ مِنْهُ
just as You have shown beneficence in that of it which has passed!
يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
