O He whose pardon is greater than His vengeance!
O He whose pardon is greater than His vengeance! O He whose good pleasure is more abundant than His anger![^1] 10- O He who seeks His creatures' praise with excellent forbearance! O He who has accustomed His servants to the acceptance of their repeated turningl![^2] O He who seeks to heal their corruption through repentance! O He who is pleased with the easy of their acts! O He who recompenses with the much their little !
O He who has made himself accountable to them to respond to supplication![^3] O He who pledged Himself by His gratuitous bounty to give them excellent repayment!
11- I am not the most disobedient of those who have disobeyed Thee and whom Thou hast forgiven, nor am I the most blameworthy to offer excuses which Thou hast accepted, nor am I the most wrongdoing of those who have repented to Thee, and to whom Thou hast returned 12- I repent to Thee in this my station, the repentance of one remorseful over what preceded from him hastily, apprehensive of what has gathered around him, pure in shame for that into which he has fallen, 13- knowing that pardoning great sins is nothing great for Thee.[^4] overlooking enormous misdeeds is not difficult for Thee, putting up with indecent crimes does not trouble Thee, and the most beloved of Thy servants to Thee is he who refrains from arrogance before Thee, pulls aside from persistence, and holds fast to praying forgiveness!
14- I am clear before Thee of arrogance, I seek refuge in Thee from persistence, I pray forgiveness from Thee for shortcomings, I seek help from Thee in incapacity! 15- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, dispense with what is incumbent upon me toward Thee, release me from what I merit from Thee, and grant me sanctuary from what the evildoers fear! For Thou art full of pardon, the hoped-for source of forgiveness, well known for Thy forbearance. My need has no object but Thee, .
my sin no forgiver other than Thee -could that be possible? 16- I have no fear for myself except from Thee; Thou art worthy of reverential fear, and worthy to forgive Bless Muhammad and his Household, grant my need, answer my request favourably, forgive my sin, and give me security from fear for myself! Thou art powerful over everything , ^6 and that is easy for Thee. Amen, Lord of the world!
