|
( 2 ) وَ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بَعْدَ هَذَا التَّحْمِيدِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ

|
| to the exclusion of past communities and bygone generations,
|
دُونَ الْأُمَمِ الْمَاضِيَةِ وَ الْقُرُونِ السَّالِفَةِ ،
|
| displaying thereby His power, which nothing can render incapable,
|
بِقُدْرَتِهِ الَّتِي لَا تَعْجِزُ عَنْ شَيْءٍ وَ إِنْ عَظُمَ ،
|
| though it be great, and nothing can escape, though it be subtle.
