كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا صَعِدَ الصَّفَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ قَطُّ فَإِنْ عُدْتُ فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ تَرْحَمْنِي وَ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي وَ أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ فَيَا مَنْ أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِهِ ارْحَمْنِي اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ لَمْ تَظْلِمْنِي أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَّقِي عَدْلَكَ وَ لَا أَخَافُ جَوْرَكَ فَيَا مَنْ هُوَ عَدْلٌ لَا يَجُورُ ارْحَمْنِي .
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Hadeed, from Ali Bin Al Numan, raising it, said, ‘Amir Al-Momineen<sup>asws</sup>, whenever he<sup>asws</sup> ascended Al-Safa, faced the Kabah, then raised his<sup>asws</sup> hand, then he<sup>asws</sup> was saying: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Forgive me<sup>asws</sup>, every sin that I<sup>asws</sup> have sinned. So if I<sup>asws</sup> were to return (to sinning), then Return to me<sup>asws</sup> with the Forgiveness, for You<sup>azwj</sup> are the Forgiver, the Merciful. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Deal with me what You<sup>azwj</sup> are Rightful of, for if You<sup>azwj</sup> were to deal with me what You<sup>azwj</sup> are Rightful of, You<sup>azwj</sup> would be Merciful with me; and if You<sup>azwj</sup> were to Punish me, so You<sup>azwj</sup> are needless from Punishing me, and I am needy to Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy. So, since I am needy to Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mercy, be Merciful to me. O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Do not Deal with me<sup>asws</sup> what I<sup>asws</sup> am deserving of, for if You<sup>azwj</sup> were to Deal with me<sup>asws</sup> what I<sup>asws</sup> am deserving of, You<sup>azwj</sup> would Punish me, and would not be oppressing me<sup>asws</sup>. I<sup>asws</sup> have come to be fearful of Your<sup>azwj</sup> Justice, and I<sup>asws</sup> do not fear Your<sup>azwj</sup> Inequity, since the one who is Just would not be tyrannical. Be Merciful to me!’
