Al-Kafi 3466

Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad Bin Khalid, from his father, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Ammar who said, ‘I said to Abu Abdullah^asws, ‘Can you^asws specialise me with a supplication?’ He^asws said: ‘Yes’. He^asws said: ‘Say, ‘O the One, O Glorified, O the First, O the Last, O the One Who does not beget and is not begotten and there does not happen anyone to be a match for Him^azwj! O the Mighty, O the Benevolent, O the Affectionate, O the Benefactor, O the Hearer of the supplications, O the most Generous of the asked ones, and O the Best of the ones who give. O Allah^azwj! O Allah^azwj!’. I said, ‘<span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:37#h75"><a href="/books/quran:37#h75">[37:75]</a></a> And Nuh did call upon Us, so the most excellent Responders are We</span>’. Then Abu Abdullah^asws said: ‘Rasool-Allah^saww was saying: ‘Yes, You^azwj are the Best of the Responders, and the best of the ones supplicated to, and best of the ones asked from’. (Say), ‘I ask You^azwj by the Light of Your^azwj Face, and I ask You^azwj by Your^azwj Might, and Your^azwj Power, and Your^azwj Compulsion, and I ask You^azwj by Your^azwj Kingdom, and Your^azwj Fortified Shield, and by Your^azwj Grip, and Your^azwj Elements, all of them, and by the right of Muhammad^saww, and by the right of the successors^as after Muhammad^saww, that You^azwj should Send <span class="iTxt">Salawāt</span> upon Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and that You^azwj should Do such and such with me’’.
