فَأَسْأَلُكَ یَا اللَّهُ، یَا اللَّهُ، یَا اللَّهُ، یَا حَيُّ یَا قَیُّومُ یَا ذَا الجَلَالِ وَالإِکْرَامِ،
﴿
لَّآ إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَـٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّـٰلِمِينَ
﴾.
أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَا حَمَلَ کُرْسِیُّكَ مِنْ عَظَمَتِكَ، وَجَلَالِكَ وَبَهَائِكَ، وَقُدْرَتِكَ وَسُلْطَانِكَ، وَبِحَقِّ أَسْمَائِكَ المَخْزُونَةِ المَکْنُونَةِ المُطَهَّرَةِ الَّتِي لَمْ یَطَّلِعْ عَلَیْهَا أَحَدٌ مِّنْ خَلْقِكَ، وَبِحَقِّ الِاسْمِ الَّذِي وَضَعْتَهُ عَلَی اللَّیْلِ فَأَظْلَمَ، وَعَلَی النَّهَارِ فَاسْتَنَارَ، وَعَلَی السَّمَاوَاتِ فَاسْتَقَلَّتْ، وَعَلَی الأَرْضِ فَاسْتَقَرَّتْ، وَعَلَی البِحَارِ فَانْفَجَرَتْ، وَعَلَی العُیُونِ فَنَبَعَتْ، وَعَلَی السَّحَابِ فَأَمْطَرَتْ.
وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِالأَسْمَاءِ المَکْتُوبَةِ فِي جَبْهَةِ سَيِّدِنَا جِبْرِیلَ عَلَیْهِ السَّلَامُ.

وَبِالأَسْمَاءِ المَکْتُوبَةِ حَوْلَ الکُرْسِي.
وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِاسْمِكَ العَظِیمِ الأَعْظَمِ الَّذِي سَمَّیْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ.

وَبِالأَسْمَاءِ الَّتِي دَعَاكَ بِهَا سَیِّدُنَا مُحَمَّدٌ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَبِیُّكَ وَرَسُولُكَ وَحَبِیبُكَ وَصَفِیُّكَ، یَا مَنْ قَالَ وَقَوْلُهُ الحَقُّ: ﴿
وَاللَّهُ خَلَقَكُمْ وَمَا تَعْمَلُونَ
﴾، وَلَا یَصْدُرُ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ عَبِیدِهِ قَوْلٌ وَلَا فِعْلٌ وَلَا حَرَکَةٌ وَلَا سُکُونٌ، إِلَّا وَقَدْ سَبَقَ فِي عِلْمِهِ وَقَضَائِهِ وَقَدَرِهِ کَیْفَ یَکُونُ، کَمَا أَلْهَمْتَنِي وَقَضَیْتَ لِي بِجَمْعِ هَذَا الکِتَابِ، وَیَسَّرْتَ عَلَيَّ فِيهِ الطَّرِیقَ والأَسْبَابَ، وَنَفَیْتَ عَنْ قَلْبِي فِي هَذَا النَّبِيِّ الکَرِیمِ الشَّكَّ وَالارْتِیَابَ، وَغَلَّبْتَ حُبَّهُ عِنْدِي عَلَی حُبِّ جَمِیعِ الأَقْرِبَاءِ وَالأحِبَّاءِ.
أَسْأَلُكَ یَا اللَّهُ، یَا اللَّهُ، یَا اللَّهُ، أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي وَکُلَّ مَنْ أَحَبَّهُ وَاتَّبَعَهُ، شَفَاعَتَهُ وَمُرَافَقَتَهُ یَوْمَ الحِسَابِ، مِنْ غَیْرِ مُنَاقَشَةٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ، وَلَا تَوْبِیخٍ وَلَا عِتَابٍ، وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي، وَتَسْتُرَ عُیُوبِي یَا وَهَّابُ یَا غَفَّارُ، وَأَنْ تُنَعِّمَنِي بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجْهِكَ الکَرِیمِ فِي جُمْلَةِ الأَحْبَابِ، یَوْمَ المَزِیدِ وَالثَّوَابِ، وَأَنْ تَتَقَبَّلَ مِنِّي عَمَلِي، وَأَنْ تَعْفُوَ عَمَّا أَحَاطَ عِلْمُكَ بِهِ مِنْ خَطِيئَتِي وَنِسْیَانِي وَزَلَلِي، وَأَنْ تُبَلِّغَنِي مِنْ زِیَارَةِ قَبْرِهِ وَالتَّسْلِیمِ عَلَيْهِ وَعَلَی صَاحِبَیْهِ غَایَةَ أَمَلِي بِمَنِّكَ وَفَضْلِكَ وَجُودِكَ وَکَرَمِكَ، یَا رَؤُوفُ یَا رَحِیمُ یَا وَلِيُّ، وَأَنْ تُجَازِیَهُ عَنِّي وَعَنْ کُلِّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِهِ وَاتَّبَعَهُ، مِنَ المُسْلِمِینَ وَالمُسْلِمَاتِ، الأَحْیَاءِ مِنْهُمْ وَالأَمْوَاتِ، أَفْضَلَ وَأَتَمَّ وَأَعَمَّ مَا جَازَیْتَ بِهِ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، یَا قَوِيُّ یَا عَزِیزُ یَا عَلِيُّ.
So I beseech You, O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, O Living One, O Self-Sustaining One, O Lord of Majesty and Generosity. There is no divinity except You. Glory be to You. I am indeed one of the wrongdoers. I ask You for the sake of what Your Throne carries of Your Sublimity, Majesty, Radiance, Might and Power, by the truth of Your hidden, protected, pure Names, which are unattainable to Your creation. And by the right of the name which You placed on the night so that it darkens, on the day so that it gives light, on the heavens so that they are raised up, on the earth so that it is spread out, on the seas so that they flow forth, on the springs so that they gush forth and on the clouds so that they give rain. I ask You by the Names which are written on the brow of Sayyiduna Jibril, alayhis salam, and by the Names which are written on the brow of Sayyiduna Israfil, alayhis salam, and on all the angels. I ask You by the names which are written around the Throne and by the names which are written around the Footstool. I ask You by Your most mighty sublime Name by which You named Yourself, and I ask You by the right of all Your Names, what I know of them, and what I do not know. I ask You by the Names by which Sayyiduna Adam, alayhis salam, called You. I ask You by the Names by which Sayyiduna Nuh, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Salih, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Yunus, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Musa, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Harun, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Shu'ayb, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Ibrahim, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Isma'il, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Dawud, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Sulayman, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Zakariyya, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Yahya, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Yusha', alayhis salam, called You, And by the names with which Sayyiduna Al-Khadir, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Ilyas, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Alyasa', alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Dhu'l-Kifl, alayhis salam, called You, And by the names with which Sayyiduna 'Isa, alayhis salam, called You. And by the names with which Sayyiduna Muhammad sallAllahu alayhi wasallam, Your Prophet and Messenger, beloved and pure friend, called You, O You whose speech is true who said, "Allah created you and that which you do." (37:96)
No word, deed, or movement or non-movement issues from any of His slaves but that His knowledge, decree and decision has already ordained it. Just as You inspired me and decreed that I would compile this book, and made the method and reasons in it easy for me. You removed doubt and uncertainty about this noble Prophet from my heart, and You made my love for him overcome love for all relatives and loved ones. O Allah, O Allah, O Allah, I ask You to provide me, and everyone who loves him and follows him, his intercession and friendship on the Day of Reckoning without any disputation, punishment, rebuke or censure. I ask You to forgive my sins and veil my faults, O Supreme Bestower, O Most-Forgiving One. I ask You to grant me the blessing of looking at Your noble Face among the company of lovers on the Day of Increase and Recompense. Accept my deeds, forgive me for what Your knowledge encompasses of my errors, my forgetfulness and my missteps. And let me visit his tomb and greet him and his two companions, to fulfil my hope by Your grace, favour, generosity and magnanimity, O Most-Compassionate One, O Merciful One, O Protector. I ask You to reward him on my behalf, and on behalf of all who believe in him and follow him among the Muslim men and women, living and passed, with the best, most complete and universal of what You have recompensed any of Your creation, O Strong One, O Most-Mighty, O Most-High One.
