The Post-Evening ('Isha) Prayer Litanies as quoted from Misbah al-Mutahajjid

This supplication reported from Imam Ja'far Sadiq (peace be upon him) , is one of the supplications highly recommended for seeking sustenance.(Rizq)

اَللَّهُمَّ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لِي عِلْمٌ بِمَوْضِعِ رِزْقِي

allahumma innahu laysa li `ilmun bimawadi`i rizqi

O Allah! verily, I lack acquaintance with the place of my sustenance;

وَإِنَّمَا أَطْلُبُهُ بِخَطَرَاتٍ تَخْطُرُ عَلَىٰ قَلْبِي

wa innma atlubuhu bikhataratin takhturu `ala qalbi

rather, I am seeking it owing to ideas that come upon my mind.

فَأَجُولُ فِي طَلَبِهِ ٱلْبُلْدَانَ

fa-ajulu fi talabihu albuldana

I consequently wander in countries searching for it.

فَأَنَا فِيمَا أَنَا طَالِبٌ كَٱلْحَيْرَانِ

fa-ana fima ana talibun kalhayrani

By doing such, I am as confused as the confounded,

لاَ أَدْرِي أَفِي سَهْلٍ هَوُ أَمْ فِي جَبَلٍ

la adri afi sahlin huwa am fi jabalin

since I do not know whether my sustenance lies in a plain, on a mountain,

أَمْ في أَرْضٍ أَمْ في سَمَاءٍ

am fi ardin am fi sama'in

on the ground, in the air,

أَمْ فِي بَرٍّ أَمْ فِي بَحْرٍ

am fi barrin am fi bahrin

on lands, in seas,

وَعَلَىٰ يَدَيْ مَنْ

wa `ala yaday man

at whose hands,

وَمِنْ قِبَلِ مَنْ

wa min qibali man

or who the source of it is.

وَقَدْ عَلِمْتُ أَنَّ عِلْمَهُ عِنْدَكَ

wa qad `alimtu anna `ilmahu `indaka

I have full knowledge that You know all these,

وَ أَسْبَابَهُ بِيَدِكَ

wa asbabahu biyadika

the causes of them are in Your Hands,

وَ أَنْتَ ٱلَّذي تَقْسِمُهُ بِلُطْفِكَ

wa anta alladhi taqsimuhu bilutfika

and it is You Who distribute it out of Your compassion

وَتُسَبِّبُهُ بِرَحْمَتِكَ

wa tusabbibuhu birahmatika

and cause it out of Your mercy.

اَللَّهُمَّ فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

allahumma fasalli `ala muhammadin wa alihi

O Allah, please send blessings to Muhammad and his Household

وَٱجْعَلْ يَا رَبِّ رِزْقَكَ لِي وَاسِعاً

waj`al ya rabbi rizqaka li wasi`an

and make, O Lord, Your sustenance that is provided (by You) to me expansive,

وَمَطْلَبَهُ سَهْلاً

wa matlabahu sahlan

my seeking for it easy for me,

وَمَاْخَذَهُ قَرِيباً

wa ma'khadhahu qariban

and its source close to me.

وَلاَ تُعَنِّنِي بِطَلَبِ مَا لَمْ تُقَدِّرْ لِي فيهِ رِزْقاً

wa la tu`annini bitalbi ma lam tuqaddiru li fihi rizqan

Please, do not fatigue me by seeking that which You have not decided for me to take,

فَإِنَّكَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي

fa'innaka ghaniyyun `an `adhabi

because You are certainly in no need for tormenting me

وَ أَنَا فَقِيـرٌ إِلَىٰ رَحْمَتِكَ

wa ana faqirun ila rahmatika

while I am in full need for Your mercy.

فَصَلِّ عَلَىٰ مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ

fasalli `ala muhammadin wa alihi

(Please) Send blessings upon Muhammad and his Household

وَجُدْ عَلَىٰ عَبْدِكَ بِفَضْلِكَ

wa jud `ala `abdika bifadlika

and confer liberally upon me, Your slave, out of Your graciousness.

إِنَّكَ ذُو فَضْلٍ عَظيم

innaka dhu fadlin `azimin

You are surely the Lord of great favor.
