[15] فَقَالَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ( عليه السلام ) الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ أَكُنْ عِنْدَهُ مَنْسِيّاً الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَثْبَتَنِي عِنْدَهُ فِي صَحِيفَةِ الْأَبْرَارِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ذِي الْجَلَالِ وَ الْإِكْرَامِ. So Amir Al-Momineen -asws said: ‘The Praise is for Allah -azwj in Whose Presence I -asws am not forgotten! The Praise is for Allah -azwj Who Affirmed me -asws in His -azwj Presence in a Parchment of the righteous!
