(9) اللَّهُمَ‏ إِنَ‏ هَذَا الْمَقَامَ‏ لِخُلَفَائِكَ‏ وَ أَصْفِيَائِكَ وَ مَوَاضِعَ أُمَنَائِكَ فِي الدَّرَجَةِ الرَّفِيعَةِ الَّتِي اخْتَصَصْتَهُمْ بِهَا قَدِ ابْتَزُّوهَا، وَ أَنْتَ الْمُقَدِّرُ لِذَلِكَ، لَا يُغَالَبُ أَمْرُكَ، وَ لَا يُجَاوَزُ الْمَحْتُومُ مِنْ تَدْبِيرِكَ‏ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ، وَ لِمَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ غَيْرُ مُتَّهَمٍ عَلَى خَلْقِكَ وَ لَا لِإِرَادَتِكَ حَتَّى عَادَ صِفْوَتُكَ وَ خُلَفَاؤُكَ مَغْلُوبِينَ مَقْهُورِينَ مُبْتَزِّينَ، يَرَوْنَ حُكْمَكَ مُبَدَّلًا، وَ كِتَابَكَ مَنْبُوذاً، وَ فَرَائِضَكَ مُحَرَّفَةً عَنْ جِهَاتِ أَشْرَاعِكَ، وَ سُنَنَ نَبِيِّكَ مَتْرُوكَةً.
