ভূমিকা
Imam Ali(as) advised Kumayl Ibn Ziyad Nakha'i to recite this "Du'a" on the eve of (i.e. evening preceding) every Friday, or once a month or at least once in every year so that, added Imam Ali(AS), "Allah may protect thee from the evils of the enemies and the plots contrived by impostors. O' Kumayl! in consideration of thy companionship and understanding, I grant thee this honour of entrusting this "Du'a" to thee."
اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْألُكَ بِرَحْمَتِكَ الَّتِي وَسِعَتْ كُلَّ شَيٍْء
allahumma in-ni as-aluka bi-rah-matikal-lati wasi`at kul-la shay
O Allah, I ask You by Your mercy, which embraces all things;
وَبِقُوَّتِكَ الَّتِي قَهَرْتَ بِهَا كُلَّ شَيٍْء
wa bi-qu-watikal-lati qahar-ta biha kul-la shay
And by Your strength, through which You dominatest all things,
And toward which all things are humble
And before which all things are lowly;
وَبِجَبرُوتِكَ الَّتِي غَلَبْتَ بِهَا كُلَّ شَيٍْء
wa bi-jabarutikal-lati ghalab-ta biha kul-la shay
And by Your invincibility through which You overwhelmest all things,
وَبِعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لا يَقُومُ لَهَا شَيْءٌ
wa bi`izzatikal-lati la yaqumu laha shay
And by Your might, which nothing can resist;
وَبِعَظَمَتِكَ الَّتِي مَلأَتْ كُلَّ شَيٍْء
wa bi`azamatikal-lati mala-at kul-la shay
And by Your tremendousness, which has filled all things;
وَبِسُلْطَانِكَ الَّذِي عَلاَ كُلَّ شَيٍْء
wa bisul-tanikal-ladhi `ala kul-la shay
by Your force, which towers over all things;
وَبِوَجْهِكَ الْبَاقِي بَعْدَ فَنَاءِ كُلِّ شَيٍْء
wa bi-waj-hikal-baqi ba`da fana-i kul-li shay
And by Your face, which subsists after the annihilation of all things,
وَبِأَسْمَائِكَ الَّتِي مَلأَتْ أَرْكَانَ كُلِّ شَيٍْء
wa bi-as-ma-ikal-lati malat ar-kana kul-li shay
And by Your Names, which have filled the foundations of all things;
وَبِعِلْمِكَ الَّذِي أَحَاطَ بِكُلِّ شَيٍْء
wa bi`il-mikal-ladhi ahata bikul-li shay
And by Your knowledge, which encompasses all things;
وَبِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَضَاءَ لَهُ كُلُّ شَيٍْء
wa bi-nuri waj-hikal-ladhi ada-a lahu kul-lu shay
And by the light of Your face, through which all things are illumined! And O Last of those who are last! اللَّهُمَ اغْفِرْ لِي الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تَهتِكُ الْعِصَمَ
allahumma-igh-fir liyadh-dhunubal-lati tah-tikul`isam
O Allah, forgive me those sins which tear apart safeguards! اللَّهُمَ اغْفِرْ لِي الذُّنُوبَ الَّتِي تُنْزِلُ النِّقَمَ
allahumma-igh-fir liyadh-dhunubal-lati tunzilun-niqam
O Allah, forgive me those sins which draw down adversities!
