John Shaqi

إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ الْمُؤْمِنَ الْفَقِيرَ لَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ ارْزُقْنِي حَتَّى أَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا مِنَ الْبِرِّ وَ وُجُوهِ الْخَيْرِ فَإِذَا عَلِمَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ بِصِدْقِ نِيَّةٍ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلَ مَا يَكْتُبُ لَهُ لَوْ عَمِلَهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَاسِعٌ كَرِيمٌ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Abu Baseer, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The poor believing servant, let him be saying, ‘O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! Grace me until I can do such and such from the righteousness, and in the righteous direction’. So when Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Knows that from him by the sincerity of his intention, Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Write for him, from the Recompense, the like of what He<sup>azwj</sup> would have Written from him, if he had done it. Surely Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is Capacious, Benevolent’.
