O Allah! You are the most Noble One Who is approached, the most Magnanimous Who is visited,

In Falaah al-Saael: In his narration from Faatemah bint al-Hasan (s.a.), from her father al-Hasan ibn Ali (a.s.) who said:
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) used to recite this dua between every two rak’ahs of the naafelah of Zohr

وَ خَيْرُ مَنْ طُلِبَتْ اِلَيْهِ الْحَاجَاتُ

wa khayro man tolebat elayhil haajaato

the best One from Whom fulfillment of desires is sought

وَ اَجْوَدُ مَنْ اَعْطٰى وَ اَرْحَمُ مَنِ اسْتُرْحَمَ

the most Generous in giving, the most Merciful of those Who show mercy,

وَ اَرْاَفُ مَنْ عَفَا وَ اَعَزُّ مَنِ اعْتُمِدَ عَلَیْہِ

wa ar-afo man a’faa wa a-a’zzo mane’ tomeda a’layhe.

the most Compassionate of those Who forgive and the most Glorious of those Who are relied upon.

اَللّٰهُمَّ بِيْاِلَيْكَ فَاقَۃٌ وَ لِیْ اِلَیْكَ حَاجَاتٌ

allaahumma bee elayka faktaw wa li elayl haajaatun

O Allah! I am needy of You, I have desires that I wish You to fulfill
