As-Sahifa Al-Kamilah Al-Sajjadiyya
- His Supplication for Help in Repaying Debts ===============================================
(30) وَ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فِي الْمَعُونَةِ
عَلَى قَضَاءِ الدَّيْنِ
- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ،
وَ هَبْ لِيَ الْعَافِيَةَ مِنْ دَيْنٍ تُخْلِقُ بِهِ وَجْهِي ،
وَ يَحَارُ فِيهِ ذِهْنِي ،
وَ يَتَشَعَّبُ لَهُ فِكْرِي ،
وَ يَطُولُ بِمُمَارَسَتِهِ شُغْلِي ،
- وَ أَعُوذُ بِكَ يَا رَبِّ
مِنْ هَمِّ الدَّيْنِ وَ فِكْرِهِ ،
وَ شُغْلِ الدَّيْنِ وَ سَهَرِهِ ،
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ، وَ أَعِذْنِي مِنْهُ ،
وَ أَسْتَجِيرُ بِكَ ، يَا رَبِّ ،
مِنْ ذِلَّتِهِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ ،
وَ مِنْ تَبِعَتِهِ بَعْدَ الْوَفَاةِ ،
فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ،
وَ أَجِرْني مِنْهُ بِوُسْعٍ فَاضِلٍ أَوْ كَفَافٍ وَاصِلٍ .
- اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ،
وَ احْجُبْنِي عَنِ السَّرَفِ وَ الِازْدِيَادِ ،
وَ قَوِّمْنِي بِالْبَذْلِ وَ الِاقْتِصَادِ ،
وَ عَلِّمْنِي حُسْنَ التَّقْدِيرِ ،
وَ اقْبِضْنِي بِلُطْفِكَ عَنِ التَّبْذِيرِ ،
وَ أَجْرِ مِنْ أَسْبَابِ الْحَلَالِ أَرْزَاقِي ،
وَ وَجِّهْ فِي أَبْوَابِ الْبِرِّ إِنْفَاقِي ،
وَ ازْوِ عَنِّي مِنَ الْمَالِ
مَا يُحْدِثُ لِي مَخِيلَةً أَوْ تَأَدِّياً إِلَى بَغْيٍ
أَوْ مَا أَتَعَقَّبُ مِنْهُ طُغْيَاناً .
- اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَيَّ صُحْبَةَ الْفُقَرَاءِ ،
وَ أَعِنِّي عَلَى صُحْبَتِهِمْ بِحُسْنِ الصَّبْرِ
- وَ مَا زَوَيْتَ عَنِّي مِنْ مَتَاعِ الدُّنْيَا الْفَانِيَةِ
فَاذْخَرْهُ لِي فِي خَزَائِنِكَ الْبَاقِيَةِ
- وَ اجْعَلْ مَا خَوَّلْتَنِي مِنْ حُطَامِهَا ،
وَ عَجَّلْتَ لِي مِنْ مَتَاعِهَا
بُلْغَةً إِلَى جِوَارِكَ
وَ وُصْلَةً إِلَى قُرْبِكَ وَ ذَرِيعَةً إِلَى جَنَّتِكَ ،
إِنَّكَ ذُو الْفَضْلِ الْعَظِيمِ ،
وَ أَنْتَ الْجَوَادُ الْكَرِيمُ .
1- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household
and release me from a debt
which makes me lose face,
confuses my mind,
disrupts my thinking,
and prolongs my occupation with attending to it!
2- I seek refuge in Thee, my Lord,
from worry and thought about debt,
from the distraction and sleeplessness of debt;
so bless Muhammad and his Household and give me refuge from it!
I seek sanctuary in Thee, my Lord, from
debt's abasement in life
and its ill effects after death,
so bless Muhammad and his Household
and give me sanctuary from it through
a bountiful plenty
or a continually arriving sufficiency!
3- O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household
prevent me from extravagance and excess,
put me on the course of generous spending and moderation,
teach me excellent distribution,
hold me back through Thy gentleness from squandering,
allow me to attain my provisions through lawful means,
direct my spending toward the gateways of devotion,
and take away from me any possession
which will bring forth pride in me,
lead to insolence,
or drag me in its heels to rebellion!
4- O God,
make me love the companionship of the poor
and help me be their companion with excellent patience!
5- Whenever Thou takest away from me
the goods of this perishing world,
store them for me in Thy abiding treasuries!
6- Make this world's broken pieces which Thou hast conferred upon me
and its goods which Thou hast quickly granted to me
a way to reach Thy neighbourhood,
a link to Thy nearness, and a means to Thy Garden!
Verily Thou art Possessor of bounty abounding,
and Thou art the Munificent, the Generous.
