Saturday Dua of Imam Zainul Abideen (as)
بِسْمِ ٱللَّه ٱلرَّحْمٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
bismillahi alrrahmani alrrahimi
In the Name of Allah, the All-beneficent, the All-merciful.
بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ كَلِمَةِ ٱلْمُعْتَصِمِينَ
bismillahi kalimati almu`tasimina
“In the name of Allah,” the word of those who hold fast to Him,
وَمَقَالَةِ ٱلْمُتَحَرِّزِينَ
wa maqalati almutaharrizina
the speech of those who seek His protection
وَ أَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ تَعَالَىٰ مِنْ جَوْرِ ٱلْجَائِرِينَ
wa a`udhu billahi ta`ala min jawri alja’irina
I seek refuge in Allah, high exalted is He, from the injustice of the unjust,
وَكَيْدِ ٱلْحَاسِدِينَ
wa kaydi alhasidina
the trickery of the enviers,
وَبَغْيِ ٱلظَّالِمِينَ
wa baghyi alzzalimina
and the oppression of the wrongdoers,
وَ أَحْمَدُهُ فَوْقَ حَمْدِ ٱلْحَامِدِينَ
wa ahmaduhu fawqa hamdi alhamidina
and I praise Him beyond the praise of the praisers!
اَللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ ٱلْوَاحِدُ بِلا شَرِيكٍ
allahumma anta alwahidu bila sharikin
O Allah, You are the One without partner,
وَٱلْمَلِكُ بِلا تَمْلِيكٍ
wa almaliku bila tamlikin
and the King without having been made sovereign;
لاَ تُضَادُّ فِي حُكْمِكَ
la tudaddu fi hukmika
no one opposes You in Your decree
وَلاَ تُنَازَعُ فِي مُلْكِكَ
wa la tunaza`u fi mulkika
and no one contests You in Your kingdom.
أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ
as’aluka an tusalliya `ala muhammadin
I beseech You to bless Muhammad
عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ
`abdika wa rasulika
Your servant and Your messenger,
وَأَنْ تُوْزِعَنِي مِنْ شُكْرِ نَعْمَاكَ
wa an tuzi`ani min shukri na`maka
inspire me with a thanksgiving for Your favors
مَا تَبْلُغُ بِي غَايَةَ رِضَاكَ
ma tablughu bi ghayata ridaka
that You take to the utmost limit of Your good pleasure,
وَأَنْ تُعِينَنِي عَلَىٰ طَاعَتِكَ
wa an tu`inani `ala ta`atika
help me to obey You,
وَلُزُومِ عِبَادَتِكَ
wa luzumi `ibadatika
hold fast to worshiping You,
وَٱسْتِحْقَاقِ مَثُوبَتِكَ
wastihqaqi mathubatika
and deserve Your reward,
بِلُطْفِ عِنَايَتِكَ
bilutfi `inayatika
through the gentleness of Your solicitude
وَتَرْحَمَنِي وَتَصُدَّنِي عَنْ مَعَاصِيكَ مَا أَحْيَيْتَنِي
wa tarhamani wa tasuddani `an ma`asika ma ahyaytani
have mercy upon me, bar me from acts of disobedience to You as long as You keep me alive,
وَتُوَفِّقَنِي لِمَا يَنْفَعُنِي مَا أَبْقَيْتَنِي
wa tuwaffiqani lima yanfa`uni ma abqaytani
give me success in what profits me as long as You spare me,
وَأَنْ تَشْرَحَ بِكِتَابِكَ صَدْرِي
wa an tashraha bikitabika sadri
expand my breast through Your Book,
وَتَحُطَّ بِتِلاوَتِهِ وِزْرِي
wa tahutta bitilawatihi wizri
lessen my burden through its recitation,
وَتَمْنَحَنِي ٱلسَّلامَةَ فِي دِينِي وَنَفْسِي
wa tamnahani alssalamata fi dini wa nafsi
bestow upon me health in my religion and my soul,
وَلاَ تُوحِشْ بِي أَهلَ أُنْسِي
wa la tuhisha bi ahla unsi
estrange not my intimates from me,
وَتُتِمَّ إِحْسَانَكَ فِيمَا بَقِيَ مِنْ عُمُرِي
wa tutimma ihsanaka fima baqiya min `umri
and complete Your beneficence in what is left of my lifetime,
كَمَا أَحْسَنْتَ فِيمَا مَضَىٰ مِنْهُ
kama ahsanta fima mada minhu
just as You have shown beneficence in that of it which has passed!
يَا ارْحَمَ ٱلرَّاحِمِينَ
ya arhama arrahimina
O Most Merciful of all those who show mercy!
