O Allah, spread out upon us of Your blessings, and Your mercy, and Your bounty, and Your provision. O Allah, I ask You for the abiding bliss that does not change nor pass away. O Allah, I ask You for bliss on the day of poverty and security on the day of fear. O Allah, I take refuge in You from the evil of what You have given us and from the evil of what You have withheld from us. O Allah, make faith beloved to us and adorn it in our hearts, and make disbelief and wickedness hateful to us, and make us among the rightly guided. O Allah, take us in death as Muslims, and give us life as Muslims, and join us with the righteous, neither disgraced nor put to trial. O Allah, fight the disbelievers who belie Your messengers and turn (people) away from Your path, and lay upon them Your torment and Your punishment. O Allah, fight the disbelievers who were given the Scripture, O Allah of truth», the wording of the two of them is the same.
