Book of Companions – Night Dua 23rd

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ الشَّكَّ فِي أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِيهَا أَوْ فِيمَا تَقَدَّمَهَا وَاقِعٌ فَإِنَّهُ فِيكَ وَ فِي وَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ تَزْكِيَتِكَ الْأَعْمَالَ

 

“O‟ my God! Even though there is some doubt about whether this night or the previous one is the Night of Destiny, there is no doubt about Your being one and only and that You purify the deeds.

زَائِلٌ وَ فِي أَيِّ اللَّيَالِي تَقَرَّبَ مِنْكَ الْعَبْدُ

 

You would not push away Your servant on any night that he seeks closeness to You, and You accept him.

لَمْ تُبْعِدْهُ وَ قَبِلْتَهُ وَ أَخْلَصَ فِي سُؤَالِكَ لَمْ تَرُدَّهُ وَ أَجَبْتَهُ وَ عَمِلَ الصَّالِحَاتِ شَكَرْتَهُ وَ رَفَعَ إِلَيْكَ مَا يُرْضِيكَ ذَخَرْتَهُ

 

You do not reject him if he is sincere in what he asks and You would fulfill his request. You thank him if he does good deeds. And You would save any deeds he sends up that please You.

اللَّهُمَّ فَأَمِدَّنِي فِيهَا بِالْعَوْنِ عَلَى مَا يُزْلِفُ لَدَيْكَ

 

O‟ my God! Please give me assistance regarding what would bring me closer to You.

فِيهِ الْقُرْبَى إِلَيْكَ وَ أَسْبِغْ مِنَ الْعَمَلِ فِي الدَّارَيْنِ سَعْيِي

 

Please grab me and lead me towards what would bring me closer to You. And increase my efforts for both worlds.

وَ رَقِّ لِي مِنْ جُودِكَ بِخَيْرَاتِهَا عَطِيَّتِي وَ أَبْتِرْ عَيْلَتِي مِنْ ذُنُوبِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ

 

And make the goods You grant me in this month better for me. And cut me off from my sins by means of repentance.

وَ مِنْ خَطَايَايَ بِسَعَةِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَ اغْفِرْ لِي فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيْلَةِ وَ لِوَالِدَيَّ وَ لِجَمِيعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ غُفْرَانَ مُتَنَزِّهٍ عَنْ عُقُوبَةِ الضُّعَفَاءِ رَحِيمٍ بِذَوِي الْفَاقَةِ وَ الْفُقَرَاءِ جَادٍ عَلَى عَبِيدِهِ شَفِيقٍ بِخُضُوعِهِمْ وَ ذِلَّتِهِمْ

 

And cut me off from my mistakes by Your Extensive Mercy. And please forgive me, my parents, all the believing men and women on this night. Forgiveness of one who is free from the punishment of the weak, Merciful to the ones in privation and poverty- Forgiving to his servants- Most kind to their humbleness and debasement.

رَفِيقٍ لَا تَنْقُصُهُ الصَّدَقَةُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَ لَا يُفْقِرُهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِمْ مِنْ صَنِيعِهِ

 

Friend whose bounties do not diminish by bestowing on them, and whose wealthiness is not affected by His making them wealthy.

اللَّهُمَّ اقْضِ دَيْنِي وَ دَيْنَ كُلِّ مَدْيُونٍ

 

O‟ my God! Please pay back all my debts and that of all who are in debt.

وَ فَرِّجْ عَنِّي وَ عَنْ كُلِّ مَكْرُوبٍ وَ أَصْلِحْنِي وَ أَهْلِي وَ وُلْدِي

 

Please relieve my grief and that of all who are grief-stricken, improve my affairs as well as the affairs of my wife and children.

وَ أَصْلِحْ كُلَّ فَاسِدٍ وَ انْفَعْ مِنِّي وَ اجْعَلْ فِي الْحَلَالِ الطِّيبِ الْهَنِي‌ءِ الْكَثِيرِ السَّابِغِ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ عَيْشِي وَ مِنْهُ لِبَاسِي وَ فِيهِ مُنْقَلَبِي

 

And improve all mixed up affairs to benefit me. Also grant me legitimate, pure and delicious sustenance, clothes, and provisions for my afterlife.

وَ اقْبِضْ عَنِ الْمَحَارِمِ يَدِي مِنْ غَيْرِ قَطْعٍ وَ لَا شَلٍّ وَ لِسَانِي مِنْ غَيْرِ خَرَسٍ وَ أُذُنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ صَمَمٍ وَ عَيْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ عَمًى وَ رِجْلِي مِنْ غَيْرِ زَمَانَةٍ وَ فَرْجِي مِنْ غَيْرِ إِحْمَالٍ وَ بَطْنِي مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجَعٍ وَ سَائِرِ أَعْضَائِي مِنْ غَيْرِ خَلَلٍ

 

Cut my hands off of forbidden things without cutting them or making them crippled, or making me dumb, or making me deaf, or making me blind, or making me crippled, or making me impotent, or given me a stomach-ache, or making my other organs defective.

وَ أردني [أَوْرِدْنِي‌] عَلَيْكَ يَوْمَ وُقُوفِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْكَ خَالِصاً مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ نَقِيّاً مِنَ الْعُيُوبِ لَا أَسْتَحْيِي مِنْكَ بِكُفْرَانِ نِعْمَةٍ وَ لَا إِقْرَارٍ بِشَرِيكٍ لَكَ فِي الْقُدْرَةِ وَ لَا بِإِرْهَاجٍ فِي فِتْنَةٍ وَ لَا تَوَرُّطٍ فِي دِمَاءٍ مُحْرِمَةٍ وَ لَا بَيْعَةٍ أُطَوِّقُهَا عُنُقِي لِأَحَدٍ مِمَّنْ فَضَّلْتَهُ بِفَضِيلَةٍ وَ لَا وُقُوفٍ تَحْتَ رَايَةِ غُدَرَةٍ وَ لَا اسْوِدَادِ [أَسْوَدِ] الْوَجْهِ بِالْأَيْمَانِ الْفَاجِرَةِ وَ الْعُهُودِ الْخَائِنَةِ

 

Please let me enter to see You on the Day I shall stand in front of You while I am free of sins, free of faults, not ashamed of You, for having denied Your Blessings, having never confessed to anyone being a partner with You in Your Power, not having started any sedition, having never fallen into any ditch of unduly shed blood, not having placed anyone‟s yoke on my neck whom You have honored somehow, not having stood under any deceitful flags, and not having turned colors due to false oaths and betrayal of pledges.

وَ أَنِلْنِي مِنْ تَوْفِيقِكَ وَ هُدَاكَ مَا نَسْلُكُ بِهِ سُبُلَ طَاعَتِكَ وَ رِضَاكَ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ.

 

Please give me enough of Your success and guidance to be able to follow the path of Your Obedience and pleasure, O‟ the Most Compassionate, Most Merciful.”

اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ الشَّكَّ فِي أَنَّ لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِيهَا أَوْ فِيمَا تَقَدَّمَهَا وَاقِعٌ فَإِنَّهُ فِيكَ وَ فِي وَحْدَانِيَّتِكَ وَ تَزْكِيَتِكَ الْأَعْمَالَ
