This supplication, is reported from Imam `Ali Amir al-Mu'minin (peace be upon him) at the Night of Hijrah, is said each morning and evening.]

أَصْبَحْتُ ٱللَّهُمَّ مُعْتَصِماً بِذِمَامِكَ ٱلْمَنِيعِ

asbahtu allahumma mu`tasiman bidhimamika almani`i

O Allah, I have begun this morning seeking refuge with Your invulnerable security

ٱلَّذِي لاَ يُطَاوَلُ وَلاَ يُحَاوَلُ

alladhi la yutawalu wa la yuhawalu

that is neither touched nor caught

مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ غَاشِمٍ وَطَارِقٍ

min sharri kulli ghashimin wa tariqin

against the evil of all oppressive and domineering ones

مِنْ سَائِرِ مَنْ خَلَقْتَ وَمَا خَلَقْتَ

min sa'iri man khalaqta wa ma khalaqta

from among all Your animate and inanimate creatures

مِنْ خَلْقِكَ ٱلصَّامِتِ وَٱلنَّاطِقِ

min khalqika alssamiti walnnatiqi

both the silent and the speaking;

في جُنَّةٍ مِنْ كُلِّ مَخُوفٍ

fi junnatin min kulli makhufin

and being in protection against all terrifying things;

بِلِبَاسٍ سَابِغَةٍ

bilibasin sabighatin

and being in the complete garb

وَلاَءِ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ نَبِيِّكَ

wa la'i ahli bayti nabiyyika

of my loyalty to the Household of Your Prophet;

مُحْتَجِباً مِنْ كُلِّ قَاصِدٍ لِي إِلىٰ أَذِيَّةٍ

muhtajiban min kulli qasidin li ila adhiyyatin

and veiling myself against all those who intend harm to me,

بِجِدَارٍ حَصِينٍ

bijidarin hasinin

behind an impervious wall,

ٱلإِخْلاَصِ فِي ٱلإِعْتِرَافِ بِحَقِّهِمْ

al-ikhlasi fil-i`tirafi bihaqqihim

which is my sincerity in the profession of their (Divinely commissioned) right (of leadership)

وَٱلتَّمَسُّكِ بَحَبْلِهِمْ

walttamassuki bihablihim

and my adherence to their Rope,

مُوقِناً أَنَّ ٱلْحَقَّ لَهُمْ وَمَعَهُمْ

muqinan anna alhaqqa lahum wa ma`ahum

and bearing with certainty that the Right is theirs, with them,

وَفيهِمْ وَبِهِمْ

wa fihim wa bihim

in them, and amid them.

أُوَالِي مَنْ وَالَوْٱ

uwali man walaw

I thus accede to those whom they accept

وَأُجَانِبُ مَنْ جَانَبُوٱ

wa ujanibu man janabu

and depart those whom they depart.

فَأَعِذْنِي اَللَّهُمَّ بِهِمْ

fa-a`idhni allahumma bihim

O Allah, protect me, in the names of them,

مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ مَا أَتَّقيهِ يَا عَظِيمُ

min sharri kulli ma attaqihi ya `azimu

against the evil of all that which I fear, O All-great.

حَجَزْتُ ٱلأَعَادِيَ عَنِّي بِبَدِيعِ ٱلسَّمَاوَاتِ وَٱلأَرْضِ

hajaztu al-a`adiya `anni bibadi`i alssamawati wal-ardi

I am restraining the enemies against me through the Originator of the heavens and the earth;

وَجَعَلْنَا مِنْ بَيْنِ أَيْديهِمِ سَدّاً

inna ja`alna min bayni aydihim saddan

“And We have set a bar before them

وَمِنْ خَلْفِهِمْ سَدّاً

wa min khalfihim saddan

and a bar behind them,

فَأَغْشَيْنَاهُمْ فَهُمْ لاَ يُبْصِرُونَ

fa-aghshaynahum fahum la yubsiruna

and (thus) have covered them so that they see not.”
