Remembrance [1]

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. And may Allah bless our master and lord Muhammad and his family. If you are in distress and constrained in bearing it, and you become sorrowful in the morning and in difficulty in the evening, then send abundant blessings upon the Chosen One from the family of Hashim ¹, for Allah will bring you relief.

And praise be to Allah who chose him from the noblest of tribes, supported him with miracles and proofs, and elevated him to a station that imaginations cannot reach. And praise be to Allah who manifested his most upright religion and his exalted law, and made every letter of the alphabet bear witness to his lofty station. And praise be to Allah who straightened the thousand of his stature ³, so it shone with the splendor of suns and moons, and darkness was dispelled by the radiance of his noble face. And praise be to Allah who guarded him with the letter Ta of support and protected him from every rebellious devil, in both wakefulness and sleep. And praise be to Allah who established him with the letter Tha of steadfastness in the secrets of movements and stillness, so he was just and did not deviate in judgments. And praise be to Allah who crowned him with the letter Jim of beauty and majesty, and adorned him with the letter Ha of goodness and perfection, and singled him out with the letter Kha of special distinction, and protected him with the letter Ha of reverence and respect.

And praise be to Allah who sent him with the letter Ra of mercy, and adorned him with the garment of asceticism, and caused abundant favors to flow at his hands. And praise be to Allah who opened for him, through the letter Ta of obedience, the path of happiness, so he rescued his community from the letter Za of oppression and led them along the paths of peace. And praise be to Allah who sufficed him with the letter Kaf of sufficiency, and dealt with him with the letter Lam of gentleness, and manifested through his hands great miracles. And praise be to Allah who gifted him with the letter Mim of sovereignty, and supported him with the letter Nun of victory, and adorned him with the letter Sad of truthfulness, so he fulfilled what he was commanded for Islam. And praise be to Allah by whose letter Dad the universe was illuminated, and through the letter 'Ayn of His knowledge He revealed to him the symbols of His hidden mysteries, and gave him the keys of the ambiguous. (198) And praise be to Allah who fulfilled his desire with the letter 'Ayn of forgiveness, and elevated his insight with the letter Fa of victory, and protected him from the vicissitudes of doubts and illusions. And praise be to Allah who magnified his sanctity with the letter Qaf of proximity, and raised his rank to the highest stations, and preserved him from every deficiency, and exalted him above superfluous speech. And praise be to Allah who honored his station with the letter Sin of uprightness, and manifested his excellence with the letter Shin of witnessing, and raised him to a place where the scratching of pens is heard. And praise be to Allah who guided him with the letter Ha of His guidance, and singled him out with the letter Waw of His guardianship, and advanced him in the procession of the near ones, the noble. And praise be to Allah who granted him with the letter Lam-Alif ⁵ that which has no end of the gifts of His unseen, and repelled with the Hamza the whisperings of devils from his protected heart, and surrounded his side with the letter Ya of blessing and happiness, and seated him upon the platform of exaltation and honor. So, O Allah, send blessings upon him and upon his family, the leading guides, and his companions, the noble scholars, as long as a dove coos in the thicket and a longing one yearns for the Corner and the Station ⁶, and a visitor kisses his soil and greets his shrine with peace, and grant abundant and precious peace. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. My success and my prosperity in praising Muhammad * I hope thereby for gardens of Eden adorned. Take him as the foremost of every nation * And it is right for us to rise in pride and honor. For among them there is none like the Messenger we have * A Messenger who is honored upon the Throne and the Footstool ⁷. His virtues were famous before his mission * And he was described in the books of the ancients. Blessed are they, and you will not find the like of Muhammad * Nor is his equal known among the prophets. For who else has the angels as a marked army * And Gabriel draws near to the armies and advances? (199) No messenger has attained what Ahmad attained * So count what you will, Ahmad is the most noble. Moses, Jesus, the Friend ⁸, Adam * Noah, and Idris ⁹ are honored through him. The Messenger of Allah has excelled every near one * So you are the one who follows behind the messengers. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of clear signs, miracles, and wonders, whose rank You magnified and whose mention You exalted by Your words: "Those messengers We favored some of them over others; among them were those to whom Allah spoke, and He raised some of them in degrees" ¹⁰. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the beloved chosen one and the best of those whom Allah honored with the station of might and contentment, about whose righteousness, honor, and granting of what pleases him You swore by Your words: "By the forenoon and the night when it covers, your Lord has not forsaken you nor hated you, and the Hereafter is better for you than the first, and your Lord will give you so that you will be pleased" ¹¹. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of the straight path and the right guidance, about whom You swore concerning what You specially granted him in Your clear, wise Book by Your words: "Nun. By the pen and what they write, you are not, by the grace of your Lord, a madman. And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted, and indeed, you are of a great moral character" ¹². O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of comprehensive goodness and immense reward, about whose mission's truth You swore by Your words: "Ya Sin. By the wise Quran, indeed you are among the messengers on a straight path" ¹³. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those who bowed and prostrated to You and relied upon You in his affairs and depended, about whose upbringing You swore in Your words: "I swear by this city, and you are free in this city" ¹⁴. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those who alighted in the heaven of glory and dwelt, and (200) tied his loincloth upon the Sharia and twisted, about whom You swore by Your words:

Your affirmation of him by Your saying: "By the star when it descends, your companion has not strayed, nor has he erred, nor does he speak from [his own] desire." ¹⁵ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the noble Prophet, the kind, the merciful, whom You swore to affirm his words, and You extolled the perfection of his merit by Your saying: "So I swear by the retreating stars, those that run [their courses] and disappear, and by the night as it departs, and by the dawn as it breathes, indeed, it is the word of a noble messenger, possessed of strength, established with the Lord of the Throne, obeyed and trustworthy. And your companion is not mad. And he certainly saw him in the clear horizon. And he is not witholding [knowledge] of the unseen. And it is not the word of an accursed devil." ¹⁶ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the great master, possessor of immense dignity, whom You extolled in Your saying: "So I swear by what you see and what you do not see, indeed, it is the word of a noble messenger." ¹⁷ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those through whom blessings are sought, and the most excellent of those through whom intercession is made, for whom You swore in Your saying: "So I swear by the positions of the stars, and indeed, it is a mighty oath, if you only knew. Indeed, it is a noble Qur'an in a preserved book; none touch it except the purified." ¹⁸ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best refuge for sinners, and the most generous one whose sandals' dust the near ones [to Allah] kiss, for whom You swore by the duration of his life in Your saying: "By your life, indeed they were in their intoxication wandering blindly." ¹⁹ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those whom You chose for Your presence, selected, adorned with Your beautiful attributes, chosen, made worthy of goodness, and pleased with, and addressed with Your saying: "Indeed, those who pledge allegiance to you are pledging allegiance to Allah." ²⁰ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, possessor of the hidden secret and the preserved knowledge, whom You addressed with Your saying: "You are not, by the grace of your Lord, mad. And indeed, for you is a reward uninterrupted." ²¹ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the beloved brought near to Allah, and the most honorable of people in station with Allah, whom You addressed with Your saying: "Say, 'If you love Allah, then follow me, [and] Allah will love you.'" ²² O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, possessor of great virtue and noble qualities, and the one by whose light the East and West are illuminated, for whom You swore in Your saying: "By the sky and the night comer, and what can make you know what the night comer is? It is the piercing star." ²³ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the greatest of people in intercession with Allah, and the highest in station with Allah, whom You honored with Your saying: "Whoever obeys the Messenger has obeyed Allah." ²⁴ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the spirit of acceptance, the ultimate goal and desire, whom You did not call as You called the prophets, but rather You called him with Your saying: "O Prophet," "O Messenger." ²⁵ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, possessor of the most pious heart and the purest religion, whom You addressed with Your saying: "Ta Ha. We have not sent down the Qur'an upon you to cause you distress." ²⁶ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the master of worshippers and the sultan of ascetics, for whom You took the covenant from the prophets before him that if he were sent, they would surely support him, in Your saying: "And [mention] when Allah took the covenant of the prophets, [saying], 'Whatever I give you of the Scripture and wisdom, and then there comes to you a messenger confirming what is with you, you [must] believe in him and support him.' He said, 'Do you affirm and accept My commitment on that?' They said, 'We affirm.' He said, 'Then bear witness, and I am with you among the witnesses.'" ²⁷ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of servants collectively and individually, and the highest of them in the plains of the Resurrection in abode and resting place, whom You addressed with Your saying: "And if We had not strengthened you, you would have almost inclined to them a little." ²⁸ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best to whom the emigrants emigrated and the seekers of refuge sought refuge, whom You informed of his great rank, majestic station, and lofty aspiration in Your saying: "But Allah would not punish them while you are among them, and Allah would not punish them while they seek forgiveness." ²⁹ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the light of hearts and the opener of the secrets of the unseen, to whom You gave immense status, great honor, eternal might, and vast reward, and You manifested his virtue and excellence by Your blessing upon him and the blessing of Your angels, so You said: "Indeed, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet. O you who have believed, bless him and grant him peace." ³⁰ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the adornment of the beginning and the end, the mine of generosity and nobility, the most excellent of messengers in antiquity, the most honorable of creation as a child and as an adult, whom You distinguished with the most praiseworthy character and traits, honored with the highest ranks and aspirations, illuminated by the light of his mission the darkness of ignorance, preferred his noble community over all other communities, praised him with the great character in Surah Nun and the Pen, and commanded all to send blessings upon him.

of Arabs and non-Arabs. I said, in recognition of the loftiness of his station, and in magnification, honor, and veneration of his lordship, and specifically for Your servants and generally: "Indeed, Allah and His angels send blessings upon the Prophet. O you who have believed, send blessings upon him and greet him with a worthy greeting." O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the lamp of bestowed lights ³¹ and the key of unseen mysteries ³², who was taken by night to the most noble station in the presence of Lordship ³³, until he plunged into the seas of Eternity ³⁴, without the form by which he ascended, which is the worldly form. So the carpet of intellectuality ³⁵ was spread for him, and he was called with the call of Divinity ³⁶, without incarnation ³⁷ or temporality ³⁸: "Here you are and your Lord without similarity ³⁹." You seated him not with a generic seating ⁴⁰, and spoke to him not with human speech ⁴¹. You placed the palm of Your wisdom between his shoulder blades, and he found the coolness of its gnosis ⁴² between his breasts. You said to him: "Here you are and your Lord upon this carpet." So no one attained what he attained of expansiveness ⁴³. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the city of Your stored knowledge and the alchemy ⁴⁴ of Your preserved treasure, whom You taught what was and what will be, and unveiled to him the hidden secret ⁴⁵, and entrusted him with the keys of lights ⁴⁶ to open the treasures of secrets, and covenanted with him not to divulge the treasure of his secrets except to one who bears the keys of his lights and who is compliant with the command and decree, on condition of carrying his Muhammadan banner ⁴⁷. You commanded him to address people according to their intellects and to distinguish between the excellent and the inferior. You gave him the counsel of the learner, while he witnessed the Advisor and the Speaker. Then You bade him farewell with the farewell of courtesy, like the farewell of a beloved at departure, but it was not the farewell of persons, rather the farewell of distinction and specification, mingled with drawing near and sincerity. So send blessings, O Allah, upon him and upon his family, the people of care and specification, a blessing by which I ascend the stations of sincerity and become among Your near and special servants, by Your bounty and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the delight of Islam and its lamp, the glory of the religion and its fruit, who was described among the earlier ones and sent among the later ones, the choicest of the world and the most noble of those by whom Adam was honored, whose essence originated a spiritual origin, then prepared it as a gnostic origin ⁴⁸, and established it as a demonstrative establishment ⁴⁹, gathering in him the qualities and deeds of the prophets and messengers, their miracles and morals. He was brilliant in advance, mighty in honor, abundant in grace, great in beneficence, sublime in favor. His attributes are bright and clear, and all of him is signs and miracles. His law is guidance, his religion saves from perdition. His guidance is righteousness, following him is success, his path is triumph. He is cheerful of countenance, smiling; his saliva is a cure for ailments; he is bountiful to Islam; bright of teeth; noble of qualities; a light for those who see him; an intercessor for those who hope for him; his watering-place is sweet; love of him is nearness; his fingers are clouds; meeting him is spacious; mercy for creation; caller to the Truth; his countenance is sun and moon; his scent is musk and amber. So send blessings, O Allah, upon him and upon his family, as long as water flowed from between his fingers and poured forth, and his dawn shone in the horizon of lordship and spread, a blessing by which You fulfill our desire, and by which You grant us might and victory, and which is for us with You the best acquisition and the noblest treasure, by Your bounty and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the adornment of traits and remembrance, the source of virtues and pride, the qibla ⁵⁰ of means in secret and public, who was broad of chest, great of thought, keeper of secrets, ever virgin ⁵¹, long in fear, abundant in hope, copious in giving, little in harm, gentle in disposition, noble in brotherhood, the adornment of the world, severer of desires, pardoner of slips, forgiver of lapses, concealer of calamities, performer of night prayers, faster in hot noons, lofty in glories, pure in virtues, noble in elements, humble and penitent, loving and beloved, high of aspiration, great of sanctity, guide of the community, beloved to the poor, physician to the rich, affectionate, forbearing, kind, merciful, compassionate, generous, standing by Allah's command, successful by Allah's promise, victorious for Allah's religion, sincere to Allah's servants, keeper of Allah's covenants, submitter to Allah's judgments, entrusting to Allah's affair, fruitful in Allah's worship, seeking Allah's pleasure, honoring the elder for his great dignity, and having mercy on the young for his intense weakness, and thanking for little despite its slight consideration, and pitying the weak by seeing his need, easy in dealing. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the master of every speaking and silent being, and the model of every worshiper and devotee, to whom Gabriel descended and said: "Indeed, Allah sends you greetings and says: 'Do you wish that I make these mountains gold and they be under your dominion?'" He lowered his head for a moment, then said: "O Gabriel, this world is the abode of one who has no abode, and wealth of one who has no wealth. It is gathered by one who has no intellect." Gabriel said to him: "Allah has made you firm, O Muhammad, with the firm word." O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best beloved who remained in vigilance of the Truth, his wakefulness and his effacement ⁵², and the dearest intimate who attained a station unattainable in high degrees, who liked good omens and the good word, and when he went out for his need, he liked 'O successful, O complete, O perfect' and the like. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those who ascended the ranks of might and rose, and fortified himself with You from the misgivings of trials and guarded, who did not take omens from anything, and if he disliked something, his dislike appeared on his face, and he joked but said only the truth. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the master of every bowing and prostrating, and the imam of every pious and ascetic, who went out to the market and came behind a man named Zahir ⁵³, whom he loved, and placed his hands over his eyes, and he did not know that he was the Messenger of Allah, until he said: "Who will buy this slave?" So he began to wipe his back with the Messenger of Allah, saying: "You will find me unsalable, O Messenger of Allah." He said to him: "But with your Lord, you are not unsalable." So send blessings, O Allah, upon him and upon his family, the noble chiefs, and his Companions, those of noble traits and praiseworthy qualities, a blessing by which You give us to drink from the watering-places of Your generosity the sweetest sources, and by which You make us attain from Your pleasure and his pleasure the utmost desire and the highest goals, by Your bounty and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. My God, by Your pleasure this great distinction was for my master Zahir from Your Prophet, until he was pleased with him, and by Your regard for him, You brought him near and drew him close. So I ask You, O my Master, by Your merciful regard which

I looked with it upon the beloved of Your beloved, my master Zahir, and thereby his radiant star shone in the sky of high stations, and thereby his flourishing branch bore fruit in the garden of glory, and by Your love which You specially bestowed upon him, he came to be called the beloved of the Beloved in the deserts and the settled lands—[I ask] that You grant me a share in that freshness with which You looked upon him, so that the fragrant breeze of his garden wafted through the realms of dominion and the celestial kingdom, and that You make me happy with that happiness with which You made him happy, until he attained, through the love of Your Prophet (may God bless him and grant him peace), the most exalted stations and the highest honors, and that You bestow upon me the gift of the Eternal (al-Ṣamadāniyya) and its noble luminous gifts, by which his virtue became renowned among the notables and the great, and that You pour forth, O God, upon me from the sea of Your generosity and the generosity of Your Prophet, our master Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace), the pole of the mosques and the imam of the pulpits, and that You illuminate my heart with Your light and his brilliant, dazzling light, and that You supply me with Your secret and his secret, both hidden and manifest, and that You gird me with Your sword and his sword that subdues and overcomes Your enemies, and that You grant me refuge through Your care and his care from the assault of every assailant and the tyranny of every tyrant, and that You thereby remove from me every harm that troubles the sources and resources, and that You thereby clothe me in an Aḥmadī robe, with which I may boast before the first and the last, and that You intercede through Your beloved, our master Muhammad (may God bless him and grant him peace), with an intercession that leaves no sin in my record that blackens the face on the day when truths are realized and secrets are revealed. O God, grant his intercession for me, O my Master, by his rank with You, and grant my intercession for myself, my family, my parents, my children, my spouses, my loved ones, and my companions, for every absent and present one, by Your grace and generosity, O Most Holy, O Pure, O Omnipotent, O Powerful, O Most Generous of the generous, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. My intercessor to the Lord is the Prophet Muhammad; * indeed, he triumphs whose intercessor is he tomorrow (208). O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, who suckled the breast of revelation and drank it, and subdued the religion of disbelief and repelled it—he to whom was brought a vessel containing honey and milk, but he refused to drink it and said: "Two drinks in one drink, and two vessels in one vessel." Then he said: "I have no command, but I leave pride and the reckoning of worldly superfluities for tomorrow, and I love humility before God; and whoever humbles himself before God, God raises him." O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those whose company and speech expand the breasts, and to whose hearing the ears incline when listening to his noble traditions and his Book—he who, during one of his journeys, ordered the preparation of a sheep. A man said: "O Messenger of God, I will slaughter it." Another said: "I will skin it." Another said: "I will cook it." So the Messenger of God (may God bless him and grant him peace) said: "And I will gather the firewood." They said: "O Messenger of God, we will suffice you." He said: "I know that you will suffice me, but I dislike to be distinguished above you, for God Almighty dislikes to see His servant distinguished among his companions." O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of the staff and the turban, and the best of those who gathered the unity of Islam and perfected its system—he who, when he ate meat and bread specifically, washed his hands thoroughly, then wiped and poured water over his face. He loved pomegranates, and one day he entered the mosque with a palm branch in his hand and scraped his phlegm with it. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the most honorable one to whom journeys are undertaken, who knots and protects the gray hair before him—he whose handkerchief was inside his feet, and who honored the one entering upon him, to the extent that he would sometimes spread his garment for one with whom he had no kinship or foster relationship, seating him upon it. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those to whose fortress the fearful clings, and to whose lofty station and great significance the worlds testify—he who would give preference to the one entering upon him with the cushion that was beneath him; and if he refused to accept it, he would insist until he did so. He never hosted anyone without that person thinking he was the most honored of people, (209) until he gave everyone who sat with him his share of his attention. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those through whose blessings provisions grow and through the secret of whose prayer the dead revive—he who was the farthest of people from anger and the quickest to be pleased, the most compassionate of people to people, the best of people and the most beneficial of people to people, and voices were not raised in his assembly. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of eloquent sayings and the praiseworthy, pleasant conduct—he who would turn away from one who spoke without grace, and would allude to what speech compelled him to mention of what he disliked; and when he was silent, his companions would speak, and they would not dispute over conversation in his presence, and he would admonish with seriousness and sincere advice. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, sweet in character and speech, the locus of tenderness, compassion, and gentleness—he who said: "Do not strike the Qur'an against each other, for it was revealed in various aspects." He would not speak without need, nor utter evil, nor say anything in anger or pleasure except the truth. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the unique jewel of beauty and the best of those who confide in You in the solitude of intimacy and seclusion—he upon whom a man entered and was seized by trembling from his awe, so he said to him: "Take it easy, for I am not a king; I am only the son of a woman from Quraysh who eats dried meat." O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those whom God honored and favored, and the pure one for drinkers of his Salsabil and his spring—he who was the most smiling and laughing of people in the faces of his companions, and the most amazed at what they spoke of, and generous. He laughed until his molars showed, as long as no Qur'an was revealed to him, or the Hour was mentioned, or he delivered a sermon of admonition. And the laughter of his companions in his presence was a smile, out of emulation and reverence for him. O God, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the possessor of the exalted station and the great rank, and the best of those whom You praised in Your clear, wise Book—he who, when a matter befell him, would entrust it [to God] and disavow all power and strength, and would seek down guidance.

Then he says: "O Allah, show us truth as truth and grant us its following, and show us falsehood as falsehood and grant us its avoidance, and help me that it may not become ambiguous to me, and that I may not follow my desire without guidance from You, and make my desire follow Your obedience, and the best pleasure of Your self from my self, in well-being, and decree for me the truth concerning which there is disagreement by Your permission, for You guide to the straight path, and do not take me to task for the evil I have committed, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds." ⁵⁴ O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whose structure You founded upon piety and raised high, and with the light of his countenance You cleared the religion of disbelief and magnified it. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, to whom You granted the rare gems of wisdom and benefits, and through whose hand You manifested brilliant miracles and the breaking of norms. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whose tree You planted in the garden of glory and honor, lofty, and watered its growing roots with the water of knowledge and forbearance. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, before whom the spirits prostrated in care, and Adam between water and clay, and You wrote his name upon the Throne, the palaces, and upon the necks of the eye. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, to whom You gave the ranks of precedence in processions and witnessed assemblies, and honored him with the deliciousness of Your address in sources and resources. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whom You mentioned in the enclosures of Your holiness, and preferred him over all Your jinn and mankind. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, with whom You boasted to the angels and kings, and made him a lamp from whose light the people of attraction and wayfaring kindle. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, through whom the darkness of the cosmos was illuminated, and with the light of his most sublime secret the veil of concealment was rent. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad ⁵⁵, from whose gold of truths You fashioned his precious jewel, and from the house of glory You produced his lofty honor. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, upon whom in the cradle the signs of might and nobility shone, and goodness overflowed through the blessing of his answered supplications. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whom You crowned with the crown of sovereignty and sainthood, and seated upon the throne of might and care. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whose radiant star shone in the sky of high stations, and the spirits of lovers were veiled in the light of his dazzling beauty. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, whose musk diffused in the gardens of Your obedience and was fragrant, and whose branch ripened in the orchard of Your pleasure and preceded. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, upon whom in the carpet of might the lights of felicity shone, and over whom in the stations of proximity the banners of lordship fluttered. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, who mounted the backs of high stations and truths, and encompassed the subtleties of meanings and the secrets of intricacies. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, through whom entities and manifest things were made apparent, and his love, with the elixir of his love, rent the inner and outer. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad ⁵⁶, upon whose love the principles and divisions were gathered, and with the breeze of his comfort bodies and minds were moved.

Blessings and peace upon the best of messengers, a blessing from the All-Merciful, for he is worthy of it. It is love, so be safe in the heart, for passion is not easy; the one afflicted by it has no reason. And live free, for love's comfort is far from me; its beginning is sickness and its end is death. But for me, death in it out of longing is a life for the one I love, by which grace is bestowed upon me. I advise you knowingly of passion, but what I see is my own opposition; so choose for yourself what is sweet. If you wish to live happily, die in it as a martyr; otherwise, passion has its own people. Whoever does not die in his love does not live by it; without the bee's gathering, what the bee gathers is not obtained. Cling to the skirts of passion and cast off modesty; leave the path of the ascetics, however great they may be. And say to the slain of love: "You have fulfilled his right"; but to the pretender: "Far from it! Kohl is not kohl." Beloved of my heart, and love is an intercessor with you; if you wish, the rope ³⁰¹ is connected through it. You have taken my heart, which is part of me; so what harm would it do you if the whole were with you? My people feign madness when they see me infatuated, and they say: "With whom is this young man possessed?" They say: "The women of the tribe are distracted from me by mentioning one who has shunned us, and after honor, humiliation has become sweet to him." If she bestows a favor upon me with a glance, then may Su'da ³⁰² not be blessed, nor Juml ³⁰³ be beautiful. My tale is old in her love, and it has no beginning, as she later knew, and it has no end. I have no equal in my passion for her, just as she has become a temptation in her beauty with no equal. Whoever does not find in the love of Nu'ma ³⁰⁴ his own self, even if he gives the world, his stinginess ends. So compete in sacrificing your soul for her, O brother of passion; if she accepts it from you, how excellent is the sacrifice! I incline toward the blamers out of love for mentioning her, as if they were messengers between us in passion. If they speak of her, I am all ears; and if I speak to them, I am all reciting tongues. Promise me union and delay its fulfillment; for with me, when passion is true, delay is good. They are the apple of my eye outwardly wherever they travel, and they are in my heart inwardly wherever they alight. They have from me everlasting tenderness even if they are harsh, and I have everlasting inclination toward them even if they tire.

You possess all beauty and virtue, found ❖ In one whose face is beautiful and lovely. What is the light of day when a face ❖ From You appears, or a smooth cheek from You? What is darkness and stars when a smile ❖ From You appears, or a kohl-rimmed eye from You? What are garden branches when a stature ❖ From You bends to the Truth, not to other? Allah has adorned You for mankind, so no ❖ Likeness to Your sight is found among people. Understanding falls short of the meanings of ❖ Your attributes, and in some minds are bewildered. Every praise I see is less than what ❖ You deserve, so what can I say?

So bless him, O Allah, and his family, the houses of glory and suns of highness, and his Companions, the lions of battle who erased with their swords the traces of the people of polytheism and misguidance, and grant abundant and precious peace. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the Name ⁶⁵⁰ written on leaves, fruits, and grapes, and the one who approved the saying—whoever seeks intercession through him to Allah, his need is fulfilled and he attains the desired goal and purpose. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the Name—whoever writes it in a line, Allah will crown him on the Day of Resurrection with the crown of splendor and light. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the Name—whoever writes it in veneration and love for him, Allah will bring him near to Him on the Day of Resurrection and love him. (359) O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the Name—whoever writes it and magnifies it, Allah will keep his body away from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection and forbid it to him.

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the Name—at the sight of whose beauties eyes are bewildered, and the ruby of beauty whose like is rare in deserts and settled lands.

And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds.

O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the ornament of the noble Name, and mercy for the strong and weak, and the station of security—whoever enters it is safe from the accidents of bewilderment and fear. May Allah bless him and his family, the people of elevation and honor, a blessing that places us under his lush shade, protects us from the pitfalls of idleness and procrastination, preserves us from deviating from the path of truth and from crookedness and distortion, and lightens for us the burden of sins we have borne in the time of youth and obligation, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, O He who is kind to His servants, and O He to whom belongs creation and command, and in whose hand is judgment and disposal, I ask You by the secret of Your Name al-Latif ⁶⁵², and by the sanctity of the possessor of this noble Name, who drew souls by the secret of his spirituality and filled hearts with pure love for him, dazzled minds with the beauties of his countenance, and illuminated the worlds with the beauty of his radiance; and by the sanctity of his manifest signs, the honor of his apparent lineage, his special qualities and his inward and outward miracles, his station, his high rank, and his lofty and excellent status, that You illuminate my face among the radiant faces that look upon Your noble Face on the Day of Resurrection, and that You pour upon me from the secrets of his overflowing seas, and cause me to stroll in the gardens of his flourishing tree, and make me inhale the fragrant breezes of his perfume, and bestow upon me from the abundant gifts of his grants, whereby my eye is comforted in this world and the Hereafter; and that You carry me, O Allah, on the wing of longing for him, and fold the distance of the journey between me and him, so that I may be among those who arrive at him, standing before his noble presence, behaving with etiquette in his presence; and make me, O Allah, among those who love for his sake and are beloved to him (362) by Your grace and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. My master, O Messenger of Allah, how long have I been devoted to your praise and eulogy, my heart enraptured by the sight of your countenance and meeting you? What shall I do with poverty and hope, turning to the ocean of your generosity and giving, when I have been overwhelmed by what you have granted of gifts to those who praise you and extol your rank among the elite of your beloved ones? Am I deprived, or wretched, denied your union and gift and dwelling in your precinct? If that veils me from you, then my good opinion of you leads me to you, and the strength of my hope in you brings me to you, and the vastness of your forbearance and generosity makes me covet what is with you. And how can I fear, when I am of your blessed community, honored above all other communities, mentioned in the Book of Allah, distinguished, bearing witness to Allah Almighty of Oneness and Majesty, and to you of prophethood and messengerhood? And you are the greatest of prophets in compassion for your community, the most tender-hearted toward the servants of your service, and the most generous in gifts to the people of your praise and love, especially given what Allah has distinguished you with of beautiful character, and what He has created you upon of pardon, forgiveness, and beneficence, and what He has manifested at your hands of gifts of grace and favor, and named you "Kind and Merciful" ⁶⁵³, and praised you.

By the great creation, and You are more merciful to Your community than a mother to her child, and more compassionate toward them than any friend or close one. And the Exalted said concerning You: "There has certainly come to you a Messenger from among yourselves. Grievous to him is what you suffer; [he is] concerned over you and to the believers is kind and merciful." (Qur’an 9:128) And how [could it be otherwise] when Allah has spread Your magnificent station (jāh), and You said, seeking intercession through my station, "For my station (jāh) with Allah is great." And there is no greater distinction with Allah than what He has specially granted You of the sublimity of rank, the abundance of reward, and the coupling of Your name with His name in the call to prayer (adhān) and remembrance (dhikr), and the Great Intercession (al-shafā‘ah al-kubrā) on that Day when the intellect is bewildered and thought is confounded. And the Throne (‘Arsh), despite its grandeur and its encompassing of all the created things in the cosmos and its establishment above the seven heavens, clung to the hem of Your forbearance until it settled and became tranquil through the blessing of Your name (363). And it said to You: "You were the greatest of Allah’s creation, and you were the most bewildered among them regarding it, and the most intense in fear and awe of it." So it wrote upon its pillars: "There is no god but Allah (Lā ilāha illā Allāh)," and I increased in awe and trembling. Then when it wrote upon its pillars: "Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (Muhammadun Rasūl Allāh)," my terror subsided, my anxiety vanished, and my distress calmed. Thus Your name became a calming for my affair and a reassurance for my secret. My master, O Prophet of Mercy, if the Throne, despite its grandeur, attained success through the blessing of Your noble name, and achieved what it intended of the greatest divine pleasure and sublime honor, then I am more in need of that than it, O Mercy of the strong and the weak. And I have come seeking intercession through Your noble name to Allah, the Most High, the Magnificent, hoping for aid and reinforcement from the flood of His abundant bounty. And You are the Supreme Mediator (al-wāsiṭah al-‘uẓmā), and to You belongs the vast station (al-jāh al-fasīḥ) and the protected precinct (al-janāb al-aḥmā). Through You is deliverance from the bonds of constrictors, the obstruction of obstacles, the cutting off of cutters, the prevention of preventers, the commission of sins, and the dominance of delusion. For none who were saved were saved except through Your mediation and Your means, and none who reached Allah reached Him except by entering through Your door. And You are Allah’s most noble door, and His greatest veil. So bestow upon me nearness to You, that I may draw near to Allah through You, and make Yourself known to me with the most complete recognitions toward You, that I may know the Truth as it ought to be known. And extend to me from You the divine light that is not veiled, the divine secret that is not stripped away, the beneficial knowledge from His presence (al-‘ilm al-ladunnī) against doubts and suspicions, and the merciful descent (al-tanazzul al-raḥmānī) with mercy upon all worlds, that we may stand in the station of servitude with proper etiquette. Amen, amen, amen. And praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. No mercy does the Most Merciful send or will send, * ascending or descending in His dominion, By Allah, or in His kingdom, * from all that is specific or comprehensive, Except that Ṭāhā (Muhammad), the Chosen, His servant, * His Prophet, His Elect, the Messenger (364), Is a mediator in it and a source for it, * This knows everyone who reasons. So seek intercession through him in all that you hope for, * For he is an intercessor, ever accepting. And seek refuge through him from all that you fear, * For he is the sanctuary and the fortress. And lay down the burdens of hope before him, * For he is the return and the refuge. And call upon him when a crisis sinks * Its claws, and the dilemma becomes severe. O most noble of creation to his Lord, * O best of those through whom one asks, Distress has touched me, and how many times * Have you relieved a distress, part of which confounds the mind? And you will see none more helpless than me, for I * Am neither strong enough for hardship nor able to bear it. So by Him who singled you out among mankind * With a rank from which the highest descends, Hasten to remove that which I complain of, * And if you delay, whom shall I ask? For my resource is lost, my patience is exhausted, * And I know not what to do. And you are Allah’s door: no person * Approaches Him from other than you and enters. May Allah bless you as long as the north wind * Touches the flowers of the hills with a breeze, In peace, as long as the fragrance of the sanctuary wafts, * And from it the musk and aloeswood are sweet. And [bless] the Family and Companions, as long as a warbling bird * Sings, its tender branch dripping with dew. Ended. (365) O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your guide, whose proofs of truth explain His judgments. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your light, by the appearance of whose countenance the worlds rejoice. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your servant, whose beautiful attributes tongues praise.

O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your pious one, whose birds of divine gifts sing in the gardens of fear. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your envoy, whose forerunners race in the seas of divine knowledge. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your secret, whose cups overflow with kinds of divine reinforcement. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your generosity, whose hand bestows abundant favors. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your trustee, whose worlds roam in the gardens of Your dominion. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your intimate friend, whose thoughts swim in the presences of Your holiness.

O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your interlocutor, whose mounts roam in the land of Your beauty. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your lamp, whose sun rises and sets in the horizon of Your guidance. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your treasure, whose merchants profit in the markets of Your obedience. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your bringer of glad tidings, whose mounts incline toward the carpet of Your holy presence. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your warner, whose proofs combat the armies of the people of falsehood. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your proof, whose swords slay the people of polytheism. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your orator, whose exhortations pierce the hearts of the heedless. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, Your chosen one, whose supplications open the treasuries of the unseen. May Allah bless him and his family with a blessing by which the fruits of our deeds are preserved from every affliction and calamity, and by which You forgive us every sin, and by which You grant us success in righteous deeds, by Your favor and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. O Allah, You have commanded us to invoke blessings and peace upon Your Prophet, our master Muhammad, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, so we have complied with Your command and honored Your decree. So, O Allah, by his rank with You, grant us security from our fear, preserve us in our minds, hearts, and religion, grant us well-being in our hearing, sight, and bodies, and make that our lasting legacy. Avert from us, through its blessings, the hardships of journeys, the crises of adversities, and the distressing calamities; and if we are afflicted with distress, relieve it; or a calamity, remove it; or a punishment, repel it, by Your favor, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. Make us happy, O Allah, through our blessings and peace upon him, with a happiness after which there is no misery, and with which there is no separation. Grant us lasting health that aids in Your obedience, lasting well-being that aids in following Your pleasure, contentment that leads to stopping at Your limits, and righteous deeds that bequeath success and salvation in the abode of Your eternity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. I stood at the exalted door, hoping, seeking pardon from my God and my Merciful. Great are the sins of my soul in my sight, but when I remembered pardon, my sins became light. And cause us to die, O Allah, upon his creed, and make us in this world and the Hereafter among the people of his love, and deprive us not of the favor of his intercession, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. O best of those whose courtyard seekers of well-being approach, a people from your illustrious community, distressed by grief. Through you we seek aid, O Messenger of Allah; you are for us an excellent succor and an excellent refuge. Through you we seek protection, O Messenger of Allah; you are for us an impregnable fortress, and from you we attain our desires. Through you we seek victory, O Messenger of Allah, against harm that afflicts our religion and our world with turmoil. O mercy to the worlds, intercede for a group that has been touched by harm, earthquake, and fatigue. You are our refuge in every calamity; its evil has touched us, and destruction has come upon us. So intercede for us, O Messenger of Allah; indeed, for us through you is the divine care that the scriptures have brought. O our Lord, the community of the Guide, Your Beloved, has been afflicted with harm; so have mercy on them, for they are exhausted. My Master, bless and grant peace, pure and eternal, upon the Beloved, for he is a mother and father to us, as many times as the number of events, multiplied manifold, and the count of what the Master has bestowed and will bestow. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the means of means, the source of sciences and virtues, who said: "Whoever learns knowledge, humbles himself in it, and teaches it to the servants of Allah, seeking what is with Allah, there will be no one in Paradise with a better reward than him, nor a greater station, nor a lofty, precious degree, except that he will have the fullest share and the most honorable abodes." O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the imam of imams, the scholars, and the commander of the army of the pious and happy, who said: "O company of scholars, I did not place my knowledge among you while desiring to honor you or that you should be made immortal in Paradise for what you have done. Three will intercede on the Day of Resurrection: the prophets, then the scholars, then the martyrs." O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the garden of the most beautiful virtues, the best whose mention is sweet to the ears and never tires, who said: "Allah informed me of the most generous of the generous. They said: 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah.' Allah Almighty said: 'The most generous of the generous, and I am the most generous of the children of Adam, and the most generous after me is a scholar who spreads his knowledge, so he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection as a single nation, and a man who strives in the path of Allah until he is killed.'" O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the desire of tranquil souls, the best of those You sent as a mercy to the weak and a paradise, who said: "When the Day of Resurrection comes, pulpits of gold will be arranged, upon which are domes of silver adorned with pearls, rubies, and emeralds; their garments are silk and brocade. Then a caller from the Most Merciful will call out: 'Where are those who worked for a community, teaching knowledge, seeking thereby the face of Allah? Sit on these pulpits; no fear shall be upon you until you enter Paradise.'" O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best through whom You repel harm and injury, and through whom You ease the path of journeying for those who love You, who said: "When the son of Adam dies, his deeds cease except for three: ongoing charity, knowledge from which benefit is derived in the hearts of men, or a righteous child who prays for him for good." O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad and to the family of our master Muhammad, the best toward whom journeys are undertaken and men are blessed by his sight, who said: "The seven heavens and those in them and those above them remain; mighty or rich has become poor, or a scholar with whom the ignorant play."

O Allah, I ask You by Your names and all Your attributes, and by the majesty of majesty and the perfection of perfection, and by the eternity of eternity, and by the firstness that has no beginning, and by the everlastingness that has no interruption, and by power and strength and bounty and favor and domination and might and awe and grandeur, and by the Kursi ⁶⁵⁴ and the mighty Throne ⁶⁵⁵, and by the Tablet ⁶⁵⁶ and the Pen ⁶⁵⁷ and the ancient glory, and by the care of Your beloved, our master Muhammad (may Allah bless him and grant him peace), the chosen and noble one, and by Your light from which You fashioned his Ahmadī essence ⁶⁵⁸ and brought it forth, depositing it in the loins of the prophets and the purified ones, and by Your secret with which You singled him out before creation and honored him, and by Your speech with which You addressed him on the night of the Ascension ⁶⁵⁹ when You took him to the most honorable stations and chose him, and by the garment of Your good pleasure which You bestowed upon him on the carpet of nearness to You, and You comforted him, and by the majesty of Your awe which You cast upon him in the station of the supreme election, and by it You turned to him, and by the beauty of Your holy Essence, with which You brightened his face among the faces of the prophets and adorned him, and by Your love with which You raised his station above all the near ones and chose him, and by the pure elements and the clean wombs from which You selected him and chose him, and by Your revelation with which You praised him and sent it down upon his heart, and by Your might with which You raised his banner and spread it over all the prophets and messengers and the chosen ones and the near ones, and by Your upright religion with which You established the beacon of his Muhammadan path and set it straight, and by Your divine forbearance with which You beautified his great character and refined him, and by the perfection of Your lordly unity with which You supported him and strengthened his arm and fortified him, and by the sword of Your victory with which You girded him in the processions of the messengers and made it famous, and by the noble gifts and miracles with which You raised his rank above all ranks and magnified him, and by the divine sciences ⁶⁶⁰ and the bestowed gifts with which You presented him from the treasuries of Your unseen and honored him, and by the means ⁶⁶¹ and the lofty station and the great intercession with which You honored him above the prophets and messengers and preferred him, and by Your great, greatest, majestic, most majestic, holy, most holy name, which You have stored in the consciences of the unseen of the Self-Sufficient ⁶⁶² and concealed, that You send blessings upon him and upon his family, a blessing befitting You from You to him, and that You cause the springs of my heart to gush forth with the secrets of Your wisdom, and strengthen with Your divine support in Your side and his side the motives of my love, and illuminate with Your lights and his lights the niche of my insight and the depths of my unseen, and free from the Fire by Your pardon and generosity all my limbs and the protected parts of my old age, and conceal with the garment of Your forbearance and gentleness the openings of my deeds and the hidden faults of my defects, and make me, O Allah, among those whose locks have been opened by the blessing of blessings upon him, whose states have been rectified by service to his noble station, whose words and deeds have been purified by following his Muhammadan Sunna, and whose terrors and fears have vanished by the secret of his Ahmadī care. And enrich me by the blessing of Your most beautiful names and Your most holy and highest secret, with a succor by which the succor of my existence is strengthened and the mirror of my witnessing is polished, and a merciful drink after which there is no thirst, and inspire the essences of my being with a speech perfect in expression and complete in allusion, and in relation to the world and the composition of all languages, so that I may be described with the perfect, enduring, righteous words, and join the first rank of those who stand in rows, and be included in the glorifications of those who glorify and surround, so that I may be attracted to mercy on this day from this station, the attraction of the accepted fortunate one, so that the attributes of the angels may appear upon me through the hidden names, and the tongues of humanity may speak of the eternal distinctions. This is the station of the fulfillment of servitude. Grant me security from fear, security from deficiency, security from rejection, security from refusal, security from distance, security from the dominance of poverty, security from deceit, security from time, security from oppression, security from self-admiration, security from pride, security from envy, security from rancor, security from hypocrisy, security from showing off, security from loss, security from ignorance, security from stinginess, security from humiliation, security from disbelief, security from the dominance of desires, security from the plotting of evil deeds, security from overwhelming calamities, security from misery and abandonment and all afflictions, and security from You through You. Indeed, You are over all things competent. O Allah, establish me and support me with Your support, give me life and cause me to die upon Your unity, and make me among the special ones of Your presence and the people of Your witnessing and knowledge, and grant me on the day I meet You radiance and joy, and appoint for me from Yourself a protector and a helper, and do not disgrace me in this world nor on the Day of Presentation, and do not make me among those who are driven away from the Basin ⁶⁶³. And grant me the neighborhood of Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with his successful party in the gardens of Paradise and the Abode of Peace. For You are our Master, the Great, the Generous, the Forgiving, the Merciful. My God, You have never ceased to be good to me during the days of my life, so do not cut off Your goodness from me after my death. You have concealed in this world sins for which I am more in need of concealment in the Hereafter. You have done good to me by not exposing them, so complete Your goodness by forgiving them. O Allah, do not let my good opinion of You be overcome by the despair of the hopeless, and do not nullify my hope in You among those who hope. Sins have made me feel lonely from the beauties of Your gentleness, but certainty has made me feel intimate.

In You are the noble qualities of Your graciousness. O Allah, if heedlessness has made me sleep from preparing for meeting You, then knowledge of Your generous bounties has awakened me. O Allah, if my offense against You is great, then I have interceded for it with repentance to You. Had You not guided me to Islam, I would not have been guided; had You not granted me faith in You, I would not have believed; had You not released my tongue in supplication to You, I would not have called upon You; had You not inspired me to the perfection of Your tawhid ⁶⁶⁴, I would not have declared Your oneness; had You not made me taste the sweetness of knowing You, I would not have known You. And in what You have honored me with of these means that bring me near to You, there is an indication of attaining what my good opinion of You has guaranteed me from You. My God, the worshippers heard of Your abundant reward and humbled themselves; the ascetics heard of Your great recompense and submitted; the righteous heard of the gifts of Your secret and cut themselves off; the sinners heard of the vastness of Your mercy and became hopeful; those who turned away from the path heard of Your great recompense and returned. The groups of various disobedient servants of Yours crowded together and stood at Your door, and the clamor of cries and supplications from them ascended to You in all Your lands. So do not reject the supplication of one who hopes for none but You in his supplication, and do not disappoint the hope of one who intends none but You in his hope, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Most Generous of the generous, O Lord of the worlds. My God, to whom shall I complain when harm touches me, while You are the Near, the Beneficent, the Bestower, the Kind? My God, when I enter the evening and harm has touched me, my hope is that relief comes with the dawn. My God, my sins are like a flowing river without pause, but Your pardon is the sea. My God, You see my poverty towards You and my need, and all people are like me in their need for You. My God, have mercy on my lowliness and my supplication, and do not deprive me, O He to whom belongs creation and command. My God, suffice me what afflicts me and what worries me, of illness in my body, for from You comes restoration. My God, heal me from every disease and ailment, and my hardship, after which ease follows. My God, let me enjoy my hearing and my sight and the strength of my limbs until my life ends. My God, make all my actions in Your pleasure, and make me firm when the grave encloses me. My God, I am certain that You are my Creator; You cause death and give life; nothing is beyond Your power. My God, be for me on the day I am raised, terrified, while every creature is bewildered by the gathering. My God, be lenient in the reckoning, for I am weak, and my back cannot bear the burden of my sin. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those by whose appearance the worlds were blessed and by whose musk and fragrant blossoms the universes were perfumed; of whom it is reported in traditions that the earthly, heavenly, angelic, and Throne-related lights ⁶⁶⁵ only appeared to existence and shone from his light. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the pole of majesty ⁶⁶⁶, lofty in rank and station, the full moon of perfection ⁶⁶⁷ reaching the utmost in honor and completeness; who said: "I have been permitted to speak of an angel among the bearers of the Throne ⁶⁶⁸; his feet are in the lowest seventh earth, the Throne is on his shoulder, and between his earlobe and his shoulder is the fluttering of a swift bird for a distance of five hundred years." O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, possessor of exalted status and magnificent rank; of whose perfect grace and honor with his Lord it is reported in some traditions that an angel named Kharqiyail ⁶⁶⁹ flew for twenty thousand years but did not reach one of the pillars of the Throne, which was created from his light (may Allah bless him and grant him peace). O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those whom You chose for Yourself and accepted his deed and his merit over all Your creation, and fulfilled his request and his hope; of whose honor with You and perfect grace before You, You wrote his name on the leg of the Throne so that it might be established; and that an angel among the angels created from his light said to You: "O Lord, I want to see the Throne, so increase my strength that I may fly, perhaps I may reach the Throne." So You created for him thirty thousand wings, and he flew for thirty thousand years. Then You said to him—and You know best—"Have you reached the top of the Throne?" He said: "I have not passed one of the pillars of the Throne." So he asked Your permission to return to his place, and You permitted him. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those who revived hearts through the perfection of his gaze, and the noblest of those who clarified the landmarks of religion and supported it with mighty victory. Of whose honor with You and perfect grace before You, it is reported in some traditions that the Throne created from his light was carried by eight thousand [angels], and they marveled at their own strength, so their feet were shown to be in the void. They said: "Glory be to Him who carries the bearers of the Throne by His power." O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the delight of beauties and joys, the station of fame and manifestation; of whose honor with You and perfect grace before You, it is reported that the eight who carry the Throne created from his light have their feet in the depths and their heads at the Throne; they cannot raise their eyes due to the radiance of the light. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the best of those whom You granted eternal honor and joy, and the most generous of those for whom You raised chambers and palaces in the highest paradises; of whose honor with You and perfect grace before You, it is narrated that the Throne created from his light has eighty thousand canopies, and for each canopy eighty thousand battlements, and on each battlement eighty thousand moons that glorify You, praise You, and sanctify You. If one of those moons were to appear in the world, it would be worshipped besides You and would burn it with light. O Allah, send blessings and peace upon our master and lord Muhammad and upon the family of our master Muhammad, the essence of gifts and virtues, the noble of qualities and characteristics; of whose honor with You and perfect grace before You, it is narrated that on the Day of Resurrection You will seat him on Your noble Throne—due to the self-sufficiency of Your holy and great majesty from the worlds—and You will seat him in the place of lordship and grant him Your great kingdom, so that he will be overlooking all existence, thereby manifesting the perfection of his grace. For existence is from his light and from his beauty it became illuminated; every beauty and comeliness in existence is derived from his light, and the shining lights appear upon it. The honor of his special station and the greatness of his rank, which Allah has hidden for him in the treasuries of His unseen, will only appear in the Hereafter, for that is the day when Allah gathers the prophets, the messengers, the scholars of past nations, and all creatures together, from the first to the last—because he is the messenger sent as a mercy to the worlds. There, his all-encompassing mercy will appear, general for all creatures and specific for the believing servants of Allah. Through his mediation, the comprehensive blessings were bestowed; upon his leadership, the robes of glory and generosity were donned. Upon him his Lord Himself sent blessings, and His angels sent blessings in the presence of His holiness, and He commanded the believers to send blessings upon him and to greet him with peace.

And He distinguished him with the perfection of selection ⁶⁷⁰ and proximity ⁶⁷¹, and Allah's favor upon him was immense. He is the one taught ⁶⁷² the praises and excellent commendation in the Station of Praise ⁶⁷³, and he was given the comprehensive words ⁶⁷⁴ and the secrets of wisdom, the highest perfections, and the noblest stations. O Allah, bless and grant peace to our master and lord Muhammad, and to the family of our master Muhammad, the Pole ⁶⁷⁵ of excellence, who unveils his bride in the lofty sanctuaries of holiness, the pride of lordship adorned with the robes of might and perfection on the carpet of intimacy and familiarity. Among his honor before You and the perfection of his favor with You is what has been narrated: that the Throne ⁶⁷⁶, created from his light, has three hundred and sixty pillars, the width of each pillar being the width of the world seventy thousand times, and between each pillar are sixty thousand deserts, and in each desert are sixty thousand worlds, and in each world are beings like the two weighty ones ⁶⁷⁷ of jinn and humans. So it is incumbent upon every believer, when he hears that the Throne, which is of such magnitude and majesty, is created from the light of the sun of prophethood and the Pole of the message, and that everything, however perfect in itself, was created for his sake, and every world, however great in its kind, derives from his light and is immersed in his beneficence and favor, to magnify him with complete veneration in his heart, and to know the loftiness of his station and the greatness of his rank with his Lord, and what He has distinguished him with of His selection and honor with Him, and the perfection of his proximity, and to praise him with his tongue, his thought, and his intellect. So bless him, O Allah, and his family and his companions, a blessing by which we may become among those who are passionately devoted and infatuated with his love and affection, and by which You make us among his companions, arranged in the line of his followers and party, by Your grace and generosity, O Most Merciful of the merciful, O Lord of the worlds. How noble is the Chosen One ⁶⁷⁸ in rank and how great is his station in the lofty heights of 'Illiyin ⁶⁷⁹! 'Ali ⁶⁸⁰ has been singled out with the banner of praise; his Creator has distinguished him; the lion, the sun of the gnostics, 'Ali, carries it. On his right is Abu Bakr, his successor, his minister, the Chosen One ⁶⁸¹, adorned in robes. On his left is Abu Hafs ⁶⁸², their lamp, and before them is 'Uthman, the best of friends. He leads the caravan of the armies of the prophets upon noble mounts of holiness, beyond description. His companion is Moses, his chamberlain is Jesus, and his retinue is in a crowded army. He is the orator of all creation tomorrow when they come, and the jinn, humans, and angels are in awe. He will stand in the Station of Truth ⁶⁸³ when the noble masters of the messengers, the great ones, are unable.
