42- His Supplication upon Completing a Reading of the Qur'an
اللهم إنك اعنتني علي ختم كتابك الذي انزلته نورا ، و جعلته مهيمنا علي كل كتاب انزلته ، و فضلته علي كل حديث قصصته .و فرقانا فرقت به بين حلالك و حرامك ، و قرآنا اعربت به عن شرائع احكامك ، و كتابا فصلته لعبادك تفصيلا ، و وحيا انزلته علي نبيك محمد - صلواتك عليه و آله - تنزيلا .و جعلته نورا نهتدي من ظلم الضلالة و الجهالة باتباعه ، و شفاء لمن انصت بفهم التصديق الي استماعه ، و ميزان قسط لا يحيف عن الحق لسانه ، و نور هدي لا يطفأ عن الشاهدين برهانه ، و علم نجاة لا يضل من أم قصد سنته ، و لا تنال ايدي الهلكات من تعلق بعروة عصمته .اللهم فإذ افدتنا المعونة علي تلاوته ، و سهلت جواسي السنتنا بحسن عبارته ، فاجعلنا ممن يرعاه حق رعايته ، و يدين لك باعتقاد التسليم المحكم اياته ، و يفزع الي الاقرار بمبشابهه و موضحات بيناته .اللهم إنك انزلته علي نبيك محمد - صلي الله عليه و آله - مجملا ، و الهمته علم عجائبه مكملا ، و ورثتنا علمه مفسرا ، وفضلتنا علي من جهل علمه ، و قويتنا عليه لترفعنا فوق من لم يطق حمله .اللهم فكما جعلت قلوبنا له حملة ، و عرفتنا برحمتك شرفه و فضله ، فصل علي محمد الخطيب به ، و علي آله الخزان له ، و اجعلنا ممن يعترف بأنه من عندك حتي لا يعارضنا الشك في تصديقه ، و لا يختلجنا الزيغ عن قصد طريقه .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعلنا ممن يعتصم بحبله ، و يأوي من المتشابهات الي حرز معقله ، و يسكن في ظل جناحه ، و يهتدي بضوء صباحه ، و يقتدي بتبلج اسفاره ، و يستصبح بمصباحه ، و لا يلتمس الهدي في غيره .اللهم و كما نصبت به محمدا علما للدلالة عليك ، و انهجت باله سبل الرضا اليك ، فصل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعل القرآن وسيلة لنا الي اشرف منازل الكرامة ، و سلما نعرج فيه الي محل السلامة ، و سببا نجزي به النجاة في عرصة القيمة ، و ذريعة نقدم بها علي نعيم دار المقامة .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و احطط بالقرآن عنا ثقل الاوزار ، و هب لنا حسن شمائل الابرار ، واقف بنا اثار الذين قاموا لك به اناء الليل و اطراف النهار حتي تطهرنا من كل دنس بتطهيره ، و تقفو بنا آثار الذين استضاؤا بنوره ، و لم يلههم الامل عن العمل فيقطعهم بخدع غروره .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجعل القرآن لنا في ظلم الليالي مونسا ، و من نزغات الشيطان و خطرات الوساوس حارسا ، و لاقدامنا عن نقلها الي المعاصي حابسا ، و لالسنتنا عن الخوض في الباطل من غير ما آفة مخرسا ، و لجوارحنا عن اقتراف الاثام زاجرا ، و لما طوت الغفلة عنا من تصفح الاعتبار ناشرا ، حتي توصل الي قلوبنا فهم عجائبه ، و زواجر امثاله التي ضعفت الجبال الرواسي علي صلابتها عن احتماله .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، وادم بالقرآن صلاح ظاهرنا ، و احجب به خطرات الوساوس عن صحة ضمائرنا ، و اغسل به درن قلوبنا و علائق اوزارنا ، و اجمع به منتشر امورنا ، و ارو به في موقف العرض عليك ظما هواجرنا ، و اكسنا به حلل الامان يوم الفزع الاكبر في نشورنا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و اجبر بالقرآن خلتنا من عدم الاملاق ، و سق الينا به رغد العيش و خصب سعة الارزاق ، و جنبنا به الضرائب المذمومة و مداني الاخلاق ، و اعصمنا به من هوة الكفر و دواعي النفاق حتي يكون لنا في القيمة الي رضوانك و جنانك قائدا، و لنا في الدنيا عن سخطك و تعدي حدودك ذائدا ، و لما عندك بتحليل حلاله و تحريم حرامه شاهدا .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و هون بالقرآن عند الموت علي انفسنا كرب السياق ، و جهد الانين ، و ترادف الحشارج إذا بلغت النفوس التراقي ، و قيل من راق ؟ و تجلي ملك الموت لقبضها من حجب الغيوب ، و رماها عن قوس المنايا باسهم وحشة الفراق ، و داف لها من ذعاف الموت كأسا مسمومة المذاق ، و دنا منا الي الاخرة رحيل و انطلاق ، و صارت الاعمال قلائد في الاعناق ، و كانت القبور هي المأوي الي ميقات يوم التلاق .اللهم صل علي محمد و آله ، و بارك لنا في حول دار البلي ، و طول المقامة بين اطباق الثري ، و اجعل القبور بعد فراق الدنيا خير منازلنا ، و افسح لنا برحمتك في ضيق ملاحدنا ، و لا تفضحنا في حاضري القيمة بموبقات اثامنا .و ارحم بالقرآن في موقف العرض عليك ذل مقامنا ، و ثبت به عند اضطراب جسر جهنم يوم المجاز عليها زلل اقدامنا ، و نور به قبل البعث سدف قبورنا ، و نجنا به من كل كرب يوم القيمة و شدائد اهوال يوم الطامة .و بيض وجوهنا يوم تسود وجوه الظلمة في يوم الحسرة و الندامة ، و اجعل لنا في صدور المؤمنين ودا ، و لا تجعل الحيوة علينا نكدا .اللهم صل علي محمد عبدك و رسولك كما بلغ رسالتك ، و صدع بامرك ، و نصح لعبادك .اللهم اجعل نبينا - صلواتك عليه و علي آله - يوم القيمة اقرب النبيين منك مجلسا ، و امكنهم منك شفاعة ، و اجلهم عندك قدرا ، و اوجههم عندك جاها .اللهم صل علي محمد و آل محمد ، و شرف بنيانه ، و عظم برهانه ، و ثقل ميزانه ، و تقبل شفاعته ، و قرب وسيلته ، و بيض وجهه ، و اتم نوره ، و ارفع درجته .و احينا علي سنته ، و توفنا علي ملته و خذ بنا منهاجه ، و اسلك بنا سبيله ، و اجعلنا من اهل طاعته ، و احشرنا في زمرته ، و اوردنا حوضه ، و اسقنا بكأسه .و صل اللهم علي محمد و آله ، صلوة تبلغه بها افضل ما يأمل من خيرك و فضلك و كرامتك ، إنك ذو رحمة واسعة ، و فضل كريم .اللهم اجزه بما بلغ من رسالاتك ، و ادي من اياتك ، و نصح لعبادك ، و جاهد في سبيلك ، أفضل ما جزيت احدا من ملائكتك المقربين ، و أنبيائك المرسلين المصطفين ، و السلام عليه و علي آله الطيبين الطاهرين و رحمة الله و بركاته .


42 - His Supplication upon Completing a Reading of the Qur'an O God , Thou hast helped me complete Thy Book , which Thou sent down as a light and appointed as a guardian over every book Thou hast sent down , preferring it over every narrative which Thou hast recounted , a separator , through which Thou hast separated Thy lawful from Thy unlawful , a Qur'an , through which Thou hast made plain the approaches to Thy ordinances , a book , which Thou hast distinguished very distinctly for Thy servants , a revelation , which Thou hast sent down , a sending down , upon Thy prophet Muhammad ( Thy blessings be upon him and his Household ) . Thou appointed it a light through following which we may be guided from the shadows of error and ignorance , a healing for him who turns ear toward hearing it with the understanding of attestation , a just balance whose tongue does not incline away from truth , a light of guidance whose proof is not extinguished before the witnesses , and a guidepost of deliverance , so that he who repairs straightway to its prescription will not go astray and he who clings to its preservation's handhold will not be touched by the hands of disasters . O God , since Thou hast given us help to recite it and made smooth the roughness of our tongues through the beauty of its expression , place us among those who observe it as it should be observed , serve Thee by adhering in submission to the firm text of its verses , and seek refuge in admitting both its ambiguous parts and the elucidations of its clear signs ! O God , Thou sent it down upon Thy prophet Muhammad ( God bless him and his Household ) in summary form , Thou inspired him with the science of its wonders to complement it , Thou made us the heirs of its knowledge as interpreters , Thou made us to surpass him who is ignorant of its knowledge , and Thou gave us strength over it to raise us above those not able to carry it . O God , just as Thou hast appointed our hearts as its carriers and made known to us through Thy mercy its nobility and excellence , so also bless Muhammad , its preacher , and his Household , its guardians , and place us among those who confess that it has come from Thee , lest doubt about attesting to it assail us , or deviation from its straightforward path shake us ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and make us one of those who hold fast to its cord , seek haven from its ambiguities in its fortified stronghold , rest in the shadow of its wing , find guidance in the brightness of its morning , follow the shining of its disclosure , acquire light from its lamp , and beg not guidance from any other ! O God , just as through it Thou hast set up Muhammad as a guidepost to point to Thee and through his Household Thou hast made clear Thy good pleasure's roads to Thee , so also bless Muhammad and his Household and make the Qur'an our mediation to the noblest stations of Thy honour , a ladder by which we may climb to the place of safety , a cause for our being repaid with deliverance at the Plain of Resurrection , and a means whereby we may reach the bliss of the House of Permanence ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , lessen for us through the Qur'an the weight of heavy sins , give to us the excellent qualities of the pious , and make us follow the tracks of those who stood before Thee in the watches of the night and the ends of the day , such that Thou purifiest us from every defilement through its purification and makest us to follow the tracks of those who have taken illumination from its light and whom expectation has not distracted from works , cutting them off through its delusions' deceptions ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and appoint the Qur'an for us an intimate in the shadows of nights and a guardian against the instigations of Satan and confusing thoughts , for our feet an obstruction from passing to acts of disobedience , for our tongues a silencer without blight preventing a plunge into falsehood , for our limbs a restrainer from committing sins , and for the scrutiny of heedfulness rolled up in heedlessness an unroller , such that Thou attachest to our hearts the understanding of the Qur'an's wonders and its restraining similitudes which immovable mountains in all their solidity were too weak to carry ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an make permanent the rightness of our outward selves , veil the ideas of confusing thoughts from the soundness of our innermost minds , wash away the dirt of our hearts and the ties of our heavy sins , gather our scattered affairs , quench the thirst of our burning heat in the standing place of the presentation to Thee , and clothe us in the robes of security on the Day of the Greatest Terror at our uprising ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an redress our lack - our destitution in poverty - drive toward us the comforts of life and an abundance of plentiful provisions , turn aside blameworthy character traits and base moral qualities , and preserve us from the pit of unbelief and the motives for hypocrisy , such that the Qur'an may be for us at the resurrection a leader to Thy good pleasure and Thy gardens , for us in this world a protector against Thy displeasure and transgressing Thy bounds , and for what is with Thee a witness by its declaring lawful the lawful and its declaring unlawful the unlawful ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household and through the Qur'an make easy for our souls at death the distress of the driving , the effort of the moaning , and the succession of the rattling , when souls 'reach the throats and it is said , "Where is the enchanter ?"' ; when the angel of death discloses himself to seize them from behind the veils of unseen things , letting loose at them from the bow of destinies the arrows of the terror of lonesome separation , and mixing for them from sudden death a cup poisoned to the taste ; and when departure and release for the hereafter come close to us , works become collars around the necks , and the graves become the haven until the appointed time of the Day of Encounter ! O God , bless Muhammad and his Household , make blessed for us the arrival at the house of decay and the drawn out residence between the layers of the earth , appoint the graves , after separation from this world , the best of our waystations , make roomy for us through Thy mercy the narrowness of our tombs , and disgrace us not among those present at the Resurrection through our ruinous sins ! Through the Qur'an have mercy upon the lowliness of our station at the standing place of presentation to Thee , make firm the slips of our feet during the shaking of the bridge across hell on the day of passage over it , illuminate the darkness of our graves before the Uprising , and deliver us from every distress on the Day of Resurrection and from the hardships of terrors on the Day of Disaster ! Whiten our faces on the day when the faces of wrongdoers are blackened during the Day of Regret and Remorse , appoint love for us in the breasts of the faithful , and make not life for us troublesome ! O God , bless Muhammad , Thy servant and Thy messenger , just as he delivered Thy message , executed Thy command , and counselled Thy servants ! O God , on the Day of Resurrection make our Prophet ( Thy blessings be upon him and his Household ) the nearest of the prophets to Thee in seat , the ablest of them before Thee with intercession , the greatest of them with Thee in measure , and the most eminent of them with Thee in rank ! O God , bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad , ennoble his edifice , magnify his proof , make weighty his balance , accept his intercession , bring near his mediation , whiten his face , complete his light , and raise his degree ! Make us live according to his 'Sunna' , make us die in his creed , take us on his road , make us travel his path , place us among the people who obey him , muster us in his band , lead us to up his pool , and give us to drink of his cup ! And bless Muhammad and his Household , with a blessing through which Thou wilt take him to the most excellent of Thy good , Thy bounty , and Thy generosity for which he hopes ! Thou art Possessor of boundless mercy and generous bounty . O God , repay him for Thy messages which he delivered , Thy signs which he passed on , the good counsel he gave to Thy servants , and the struggle he undertook in Thy way , with the best Thou hast repaid any of Thy angels brought nigh and Thy prophets sent out and chosen ! And upon him and his Household , the good , the pure , be peace , God's mercy , and His blessings !
