وَ هَبْ لِيَ الْغَدَاةَ رِضَاكَ وَ اَسْكِنْ قَلْبِيْ خَوْفَكَ وَ اقطَعَهُ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ حَثَّى لَا آَرْجُو وَ لَا آَخَافَ اِلَّا إِيَاكَ اَللَّهُمَّ صَلَّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الهِ وَ هَبْ لِيْ ثَبَاتَ الْيَقِيْنِ وَ مَخْضَ الْإِخْلَاصِ وَ شَرَفَ التَّوْحِيْدِ وَدَوَامَ الْإِسْتِقَامَةِ وَ مَعْدِنَ الصَّبْرِ وَ الرِّضَا بِالْقَضَآءِ وَ الْقَدَرِ يَا قَاضِيَ حَوَائِجِ السَّائِلِيْنَ يَا مَنْ يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي ضَمِيْرِ الصَامِتِيْنَ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِهِ، وَ اسْتَجِبْ دُعَآئِي وَ اغْفِزْ ذَنْبِيْ وَ اَوْسِع رِزْقِيْ وَ اقْضِ حَوَائِجِي فِي نَفْسِيْ وَ إِخْوَانِي فِيْ دِيْنِيْ وَ اَهْلِيْ اِلْهِي ظُمُوحُ الْأمَالِ قَدْ خَابَثْ إِلَّا لَدَيْكَ وَ مَعَاكِفُ الْهِمَمِ قَدْ تَعَطَلَتْ إِلَّا عَلَيْكَ وَ مَذَاهِبُ الْعُقُوْلِ قَدْ سَمَتْ اِلَّا اِلَيْكَ فَاَنْتَ الرَّجَآءُ وَ اِلَيْكَ الْمُلْتَجَأُ يَآ أَكْرَمَ مَقْصُوْدٍ وَ اَجْوَدَ مَسْئُوْلٍ هَرَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَفْسِيْ يَا مَلْجَاَ الْهَارِبِيْنَ، بِاَثْقَالِ الذَّنُوْبِ اَحْمِلُهَا عَلَى ظَهْرِيْ لَا آَجِدُ لِي اِلَيْكَ شَافِعًا سِوى مَعْرِفَتِيْ بِآَنَّكَ اَقْرَبُ مَنْ رَجَاهُ الطَّالِبُوْنَ وَ آَمَّلَ مَا لَدَيْهِ الرَّاغِبُوْنَ يَا مَنْ فَتَقَ الْعُقُوْلَ بِمَعْرِفَتِهِ وَ اَظَلَقَ الْاَلْسُنَ بِحَمْدِهِ وَ جَعَلَ مَا امْتَنَّ بِهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِي كِفَاءِ لِتَأْدِيَةِ حَقَّهِ [آنَالَ بِهِ حَقَّهُ] صَلَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ الِهِ وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لَلشَّيْطَانِ عَلَى عَقْلِيْ سَبِيْلًا وَ لَا لِلْبَاطِلِ عَلَى عَمَلِيْ دَلِيْلًا.
Twelfth: Shaykh al-Tusi, Sayyid Ibn Tawus, and others have mentioned the following supplicatory prayer confirming that it is recommended to say it at Friday nights just before dawn (fajr): O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and his Household, grant me Your satisfaction this very early morning, place fear of You in my heart, and separate it from (leaning to) anyone other than You, so that I will hope for and fear none save You. O Allah, send blessings to Muhammad and his Household and grant me resolute faith, pure sincerity (to You), honorable belief in (Your) oneness, persistent straightness, essential tolerance, and satisfaction with (Your) predetermination and decrees. O He Who settles the needs of His beseechers; O He Who knows what is in the innermost of the silent; send blessings to Muhammad and his Household, respond to my prayers, forgive my sins, expand my means of livelihood, and settle the needs of myself and my brethren-in-faith and my family members. O Allah, all ambitions of expectations are disappointed except those addressed to You, all resolute determinations are paralyzed except those relied upon You, and all reason-based tendencies are wasted except those directed to You. So, You are the ultimate hope and to You is the resort. He Who is the noblest objective and the most magnanimous desired, i am fleeing to You from myself. O shelter of those who flee overburdened with the heavy loads of sins, carrying my sins on my back, I cannot find any interceder for me except that | know for sure that You are the nearest of all those who are hoped by beseechers and of all those whose donations are expected by the desirous. O He Who has split the intellects on the recognition of Him, made tongues articulate with the praising of Him and made that which He has conferred upon His servants enough means for the fulfillment of their duties towards Him; (please) send blessings to Muhammad and his Household, do not give Satan any way (of success) over my reason, and do not give wrongness a way to reach my deeds.
