و من ذلك دعاء وجدناه في كتب أصحابنا العتيقة و هو في الليلة الرابعة و العشرين ولْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ شَفْعاً وَ وَتْراً فِي الشَّفْعِ وَ الْوَتْرِ مِنْ هَذِهِ اللَّيَالِي الْمُبَارَكَاتِ وَ عَلَى مَا مَنَحَنِي وَ أَعْطَانِي فِيهِنَّ مِنَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَ تَصَدَّقَ بِهِ عَلَيَّ وَ وَهَبَهُ لِي مِنَ الْبَاقِيَاتِ الصَّالِحَاتِ
“Praise be to God evenly and oddly in the even and odd nights of these blessed nights for all the good things that He favored and bestowed upon me on them plus the good things that remain for me which He donated to me in charity.
الَّذِي صَوَّمَنِي لِيَأْجُرَنِي وَ فَطَرَنِي عَلَى مَا رَزَقَنِي فَكُلٌّ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ وَ بِمِنَّتِهِ وَ بِحُسْنِ اخْتِيَارِهِ وَ نَظَرِهِ لِعَبِيدِهِ
He made me fast and rewarded me for it, and He fed me with the sustenance He provided for me to break my fast with. This was all from Him due to His Favor due to His Kind Choice and attention to His Servants!
سُبْحَانَهُ سَيِّداً أَخَذَ بِيَدِي مِنَ الْوَرَطَاتِ وَ مَحَّصَ عَنِّي الْخَطِيئَاتِ
Glory be to Him – the Master who took my hand and saved me from the disastrous situations! He wiped off my wrongdoings and took care of my important needs.
وَ كَفَانِي الْمُهِمَّاتِ وَ أَغْنَانِي عَنِ الْمَخْلُوقِينَ وَ لَمْ يَجْعَلْ رِزْقِي إِلَى الْمَرْزُوقِينَ
He made us needless of the creatures and did not let my provisions be in the hands of those who are themselves provided for.
َ شَهَرَ ذِكْرِي فِي الْعَالَمِينَ وَ جَعَلَ اسْمِي فِي الْمَذْكُورِينَ وَ لَمْ يُشْقِنِي بِعُجْبٍ يَحُطُّنِي عَنْ دَرَجَاتٍ رَفِيعَةٍ فَيُهْوِي بِي إِلَى ظُلَمِ غَضَبِهِ وَ نِقْمَتِهِ
He made me reputable in the world, and recorded my name amongst those who are mentioned. He did not make me suffer from haughtiness that would lower my rank, and did not make me suffer from the darkness of His Wrath and Chastisements!
وَ لَا أَبْلَانِي بِاسْتِحْلَالٍ يَنْزِعُ عَنِّي مَلَابِسَ رَحْمَتِهِ وَ يُعَوِّضُنِي لِبُؤْسِ الذُّلِّ مِنْ سَخَطِهِ إِيَّاهُ
He did not make me suffer from considering what is forbidden to be legitimate that could strip off the robes of His Mercy from me and wear the robes of His Wrath instead!
أَشْكُرُ وَ لَهُ أَعْبُدُ وَ مِنْهُ أَرْجُو التَّمَامَ وَ الْمَزِيدَ
I thank Him alone and I worship Him only! I have hopes of increase and perfection from Him!
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ وَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ وَ آلِهِ وَ سَلَّمَ تَسْلِيماً.
There is no change nor any strength exept by God – the Sublime, the Supreme and may God bestow blessings on the Prophet Muhammad and his Progeny (as) and may His peace be on them plentifully.”
