قُلْتُ لِأَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَدْخُلُنِيَ الْغَمُّ فَقَالَ أَكْثِرْ مِنْ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً فَإِذَا خِفْتَ وَسْوَسَةً أَوْ حَدِيثَ نَفْسٍ فَقُلِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَ ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَ ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ عَدْلٌ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ مَاضٍ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَداً مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ نُورَ بَصَرِي وَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَ جِلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَ ذَهَابَ هَمِّي اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئاً .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from a cousing of Saeed from Saeed Bin Yasaar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘The sadness has entered into me’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘Frequent from saying, ‘Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is my Lord<sup>azwj</sup>! There is nothing associated with Him<sup>azwj</sup>’. So when you fear the Satanic insinuations or self-discussions, so say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I am Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, and a son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> servant, and a son of Your<sup>azwj</sup> maid. My forelock is in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Hands. You<sup>azwj</sup> were Just in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Decisions of the past regarding me in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Judgment. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> with every Name which is for You<sup>azwj</sup>, Revealed in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Book, or You<sup>azwj</sup> Taught anyone from Your<sup>azwj</sup> creatures, or You<sup>azwj</sup> Accounted within the Knowledge of the unseen in Your<sup>azwj</sup> Presence, that You<sup>azwj</sup> should Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup>, and that You<sup>azwj</sup> should Make the Quran to be a Light of my vision, and a spring of my heart, and Evacuate my sorrow and Remove my worries. Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Allah<sup>azwj</sup> is my Lord<sup>azwj</sup>. I do not associate anything with Him<sup>azwj</sup>’’.
