Al-Kafi 7485

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Al Fazl Bin Shazaan, altogether from Safwan Bin Yahya, and Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘Whenever you enter the Sacred Masjid, so enter it bare-footed upon the tranquility, and the dignity, and the reverence’. And he^asws said: ‘And the one who enters it with reverence, Allah^azwj would Forgive him, Allah^azwj Willing’. I said, ‘What is the reverence?’ He^asws said: ‘The tranquility, not entering it with arrogance. So when you end up to the door of the Masjid, then stand and say, ‘Greetings be upon you^saww, O Prophet^saww, and Mercy of Allah^azwj, and His^azwj Blessings. In the Name of Allah^azwj, and by Allah^azwj, and from Allah^azwj, and whatever Allah^azwj so Desires. And greetings be upon the Prophets^saww of Allah^azwj and His^azwj Rasools^as. And the greetings be upon Rasool-Allah^saww, and the greetings be upon Ibrahim^as. And the Praise is for Allah^azwj Lord^azwj of the worlds’. So when you enter the Masjid, then raise your hands and face the House (Kaaba), and say, ‘O Allah^azwj! I ask You^azwj in this place of mine during the first of my rituals that You^azwj should Accept my repentance, and that You^azwj should Overlook my errors, and Place my burden away from me. The Praise is for Allah^azwj Who Made me reach His^azwj Sacred House (Kaaba). O Allah^azwj! I hereby testify that this is Your^azwj Sacred House, which You^azwj Made it as a refuge for the people, and a security, Blessed, and a Guidance for the worlds. O Allah^azwj! I am Your^azwj servant, and the city is Your^azwj city, and the House is Your^azwj House. I have come seeking Your^azwj Mercy, and intending to obey You^azwj, obedient to Your^azwj Command, being pleased with Your^azwj Ordainment. I ask You^azwj with the asking of the one desperate to You^azwj, the one fearful of Your^azwj Punishment. O Allah^azwj! Open for me the doors of Your^azwj Mercy, and Enable me with Your^azwj obedience and Your^azwj Pleasure’.
