A supplication of Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq (a), recited during the month of Rajab — including after the daily obligatory prayers. It is a plea for all good in this world and the next.
يا مَنْ اَرْجُوهُ لِكُلِّ خَيْر
Yā man arjūhu li-kulli khayr
O He from whom I hope for every good,
وَآمَنُ سَخَطَهُ عِنْدَ كُلِّ شَرّ
wa āmanu sakhaṭahu ʿinda kulli sharr
and from whose wrath I feel secure at (the time of) every evil,
يا مَنْ يُعْطِي الْكَثيرَ بِالْقَليلِ
yā man yuʿṭi al-kathīra bi-al-qalīl
O He who gives much in return for little,
يا مَنْ يُعْطي مَنْ سَاَلَهُ
yā man yuʿṭi man saʾalah
O He who gives to whoever asks Him,
يا مَنْ يُعْطي مَنْ لَمْ يَسْاَلْهُ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَعْرِفْهُ تَحَنُّناً مِنْهُ وَرَحْمَةً
yā man yuʿṭi man lam yasʾalhu wa man lam yaʿrifhu taḥannunan minhu wa raḥmah
O He who gives even to the one who does not ask Him and the one who does not know Him, out of His tenderness and mercy —
اَعْطِني بِمَسْاَلَتي اِيّاكَ جَميعَ خَيْرِ الدُّنْيا وَجَميعَ خَيْرِ الاْخِرَةِ
aʿṭinī bi-masʾalatī iyyāka jamīʿa khayri al-dunyā wa jamīʿa khayri al-ākhirah
grant me, for my asking of You, all the good of this world and all the good of the Hereafter,
وَاصْرِفْ عَنّي بِمَسْاَلَتي اِيّاكَ جَميعَ شَرِّ الدُّنْيا وَشَرِّ الاْخِرَةِ
wa-ṣrif ʿannī bi-masʾalatī iyyāka jamīʿa sharri al-dunyā wa sharri al-ākhirah
and turn away from me, for my asking of You, all the evil of this world and the evil of the Hereafter,
فَاِنَّهُ غَيْرُ مَنْقُوص ما اَعْطَيْتَ
fa-innahu ghayru manqūṣin mā aʿṭayt
for what You give is never diminished.
وَزِدْني مِنْ فَضْلِكَ يا كَريمُ
wa zidnī min faḍlika yā Karīm
And increase me out of Your bounty, O Most Generous.
