bless him and grant him peace) intercession and high rank, I ask You to forgive
me my sins, veil all my faults for me, protect me from the Fire, grant me Your
pleasure, protection, pardon, and benevolence, and to let me enjoy Your Garden
with those on whom You have bestowed blessings among the Prophets, the true, the
martyrs, and the righteous. You have power over all things. And may Allah bless
our master Mohammed and his family as long as the winds move the piled up clouds
and everyone with a soul tastes death, and may He send peace to the people of
peace in the abode of peace with greetings and peace.
O Allah, set me aside for what You created me for and
do not preoccupy me with what You hold me answerable for and do not deprive me
when I ask of You. Do not punish me when I ask Your forgiveness.

the Garden of Bliss without trouble, difficulty or discussion of the account,

I ask You by what Your Footstool supports of Your
Sublimity, Majesty, Radiance, Might and Power, by the right of Your pure,
hidden, protected, pure Names which none of Your creation is informed of, and by
the right of the Name which You placed on the night so that it darkens, on the
day so that it gives light, on the heavens so that they are raised up, on the
earth so that it is spread out, on the seas so that they flow forth, on the
fountains so that they gush forth and on the clouds so that they give rain.

and pure friend, called upon You, O You whose speech is true who said,
"Allah created you and what you do." (37:96) No word, deed, or
movement or non-movement issues from any of His slaves but that prior His
knowledge, decree and decision already decided how it would be. That is even as
You inspired me and decreed that I would compile this book, and made the method
and reasons in it easy for me. You removed doubt and uncertainty about this
noble Prophet from my heart, and You made my love for him overcome love for all
relatives and loved ones.
O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, I ask You to provide me and
everyone who loves him and follows with his intercession and friendship on the
Day of Reckoning without any disputation, punishment, rebuke or censure. I ask
You to forgive my sins and veil my faults, O Giving, O Forgiving.

noble Face among the company of lovers on the Day of Increase and Recompense,
accept my deeds from me, forgive me for what Your knowledge encompasses of my
errors, forgetfulness and slips, and let me visit his tomb and greet him and his
two companions, to achieve my hope by Your grace, favour, generosity and
magnanimity, O Compassionate, O Merciful, O Protector!
I ask You to recompense him from me and from all who
believe in him and follow him among the Muslims, men and women, living and dead,
with the best, most complete and universal of what You have recompensed any of
Your creation with, O Strong, O Mighty, O High.
O Allah, I ask You by the right of what I swear by to
You to bless our master Mohammed and the family of our master Mohammed in
quantity as great as what You created before the sky was set up, the earth laid
out, the mountains raised, the fountains gushed forth, the seas subjected, the
rivers poured forth, the sun shone, the moon gave light and the stars
illuminated when no one knows where You were except You.
