أَللَّهُمَّ إنَّكَ ابْتَلَيْتَنَا فِي أَرْزَاقِنَا بِسُوءِ الظَّنِّ

allāhumma innaka ibtalaītana fī arzāqinā bisū'i aẓ-ẓanni

O God, Thou hast tried us with distrust in our provisions

---

وَفِي آجَالِنَا بِطُولِ الأمَلِ

wa fī ajālinā biṭūli al-amal

and the expectation of long lives,

---

حَتَّى الْتَمَسْنَا أَرْزَاقَكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ،

ḥattá al-tamasnā ʾarzāqaka min ʿindi al-marzūqīn

until we begged for provisions from those who are provided

---

وَطَمِعْنَا بِآمَالِنَا فِي أَعْمَارِ الْمُعَمَّرِينَ.

wa ṭamʿinā bi-āmālinā fī aʿmār al-muʿammarīn

and craved in our expectations the life-spans of the long-lived!

---

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ،

faṣalli ʿalā muḥammad wa ālih

So bless Muhammad and his Household,

---

وَهَبْ لَنَا يَقِيناً صَادِقاً تَكْفِينا بِهِ مِنْ مَؤونَةِ الطَّلَبِ،

wa hab lana yaqeenan saadiqan takfeena bihi min ma'oonati at-talab

give us a true certainty that will suffice us the burden of seeking,

---

وَأَلْهِمْنَا ثِقَةً خَالِصَةً تُعْفِينَا بِهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ النَّصَبِ،

wa alhimna thiqatan khalisatan tuʿfeena biha min shiddati al-nasab

and inspire us with a sincere trust that will release us from the hardship of exertion!

---

وَاجْعَلْ مَا صَرَّحتَ بِهِ مِنْ عِدَتِكَ فِي وَحْيِكَ،

wajʿal mā ṣarraḥta bihī min ʿidaditika fī wahyika

Let Thy clear promise in Thy Revelation

---

وَأَتْبَعْتَهُ مِنْ قَسَمِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ

wa ʾatbaʿtahu min qasamika fī kitabika

which Thou hast followed in Thy Book with Thy oath

---

قَاطِعاً لاهْتِمَامِنَا بِالرِّزْقِ الَّـذِيْ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِهِ

qaṭiʿan lahtimāmīnā bir-rizqi alladhī takaffalt bihi

cut off our worry about the provision for which Thou hast made Thyself responsible

---

وَحَسْمَاً لِلاشْتِغَالِ بِمَا ضَمِنْتَ الْكِفَايَةَ لَهُ،

wa ḥasmān li-lash-tiġāli bi-mā ḍamin-tal-kifāya lahu

and sever our occupation with everything whose sufficiency Thou hast guaranteed!

---

فَقُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ الاصْـدَقُ

faqultu waqawluka al-haqqul-asdaq

For Thou hast said - and Thy word is the most truthful truth

---

وَأَقْسَمْتَ وَقَسَمُكَ الأَبَرُّ الأَوْفى:

wa'aqsamta waqasamuka al-abarru al-awfa

and Thou hast sworn - and Thy oath is the most kept and fulfilled

---

( وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ )

wa fī al-samāʾi rizqukum wa mā tuʿadoon

In the heaven are your provision and everything you are promised (51:22)!

---

ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: ( فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ إنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُوْنَ ).

thumma qult: (fawarabbi alssama'i wal-ardi innahu lahaqqun mithla ma annakum tantiquun)

And then Thou hast said, So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech (51:23)!
