His Supplication in Satisfaction when he Looked upon the Companions of this World
Praise belongs to God
in satisfaction with God’s decision!
I bear witness that
God has apportioned the livelihoods of His servants with justice and undertaken bounty for all His creatures.
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household,
tempt me not with what You have given to Your creatures
and tempt them not with what You have withheld from me.
Lest I envy Your creatures
and despise Your decision!
O God,
bless Muhammad and his Household,
delight my soul through Your decree,
expand my breast through the instances of Your decision,
give to me a trust through which I may admit
that Your decree runs only to the best,
and let my gratitude to You
for what You have taken away from me
be more abundant than my gratitude to You
for what You have conferred upon me!
Preserve me from imagining any meanness
in someone who is destitute
or imagining any superiority
in someone who possesses wealth,
for the noble is he
whom obedience to You has ennobled
and the exalted is he
whom worship of You has exalted!
So bless Muhammad and his Household,
give us to enjoy a wealth
which does not run out,
confirm us with an exaltation
which will never be lost,
and let us roam freely
in the kingdom of everlastingness!
Surely You are the One, the Unique, the Eternal Refuge;
You have not begotten,
nor have You been begotten,
and equal to You is not any one
