| 29) His Supplication when his Provision was Stinted
|
(29) وَ كَانَ مِنْ دُعَائِهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ إِذَا قُتِّرَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ
|
| In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
|
بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحيمِ
|
| 1- O God, Thou hast tried us with distrust in our provisions
|
1. اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ ابْتَلَيْتَنَا فِي أَرْزَاقِنَا بِسُوءِ الظَّنِّ ،
|
| and the expectation of long lives,
|
وَ فِي آجَالِنَا بِطُولِ الْأَمَلِ
|
| until we begged for provisions from those who are provided
|
حَتَّى الْتَمَسْنَا أَرْزَاقَكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ ،
|
| and craved in our expectations the life-spans of the long-lived!
|
وَ طَمِعْنَا بِآمَالِنَا فِي أَعْمَارِ الْمُعَمَّرِينَ .
|
| 2- So bless Muhammad and his Household,
|
2. فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِهِ ،
|
| give us a true certainty
|
وَ هَبْ لَنَا يَقِيناً صَادِقاً
|
| that will suffice us the burden of seeking,
|
تَكْفِينَا بِهِ مِنْ مَئُونَةِ الطَّلَبِ ،
|
| and inspire us with a sincere trust that will release us from the hardship of exertion!
|
وَ أَلْهِمْنَا ثِقَةً خَالِصَةً تُعْفِينَا بِهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ النَّصَبِ
|
| 3- Let Thy clear promise in Thy Revelation
|
3. وَ اجْعَلْ مَا صَرَّحْتَ بِهِ مِنْ عِدَتِكَ فِي وَحْيِكَ ،
|
| which Thou hast followed in Thy Book with Thy oath
|
وَ أَتْبَعْتَهُ مِنْ قَسَمِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ ،
|
| cut off our worry about the provision
|
قَاطِعاً لِاهْتِمَامِنَا بِالرِّزْقِ
|
| for which Thou hast made Thyself responsible
|
الَّذِي تَكَفَّلْتَ بِهِ ،
|
| and sever our occupation with everything whose sufficiency Thou hast guaranteed!
|
وَ حَسْماً لِلِاشْتِغَالِ بِمَا ضَمِنْتَ الْكِفَايَةَ لَهُ
|
| 4- For Thou hast said
|
4. فَقُلْتَ وَ قَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ الْأَصْدَقُ ،
|
| - and Thy word is the most truthful truth - and Thou hast sworn
|
وَ أَقْسَمْتَ
|
| - and Thy oath is the most kept and fulfilled -
|
وَ قَسَمُكَ الْأَبَرُّ الْأَوْفَى
|
| In the heaven are your provision and everything you are promised!
|
وَ فِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَ مَا تُوعَدُونَ .
|
| 5- And then Thou hast said,
|
5. ثُمَّ قُلْتَ
|
| So by the Lord of heaven and earth it is as surely true as that you have speech![1]
|
فَوَ رَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُونَ
|
