Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 3641 — Surah al-Ra'd

It is narrated from Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he used to supplicate to Allah Almighty in this way: 'Allahumma in kunta katabtana 'indaka ashqiya'a famhuna waktubna su'ada'a, wa in kunta katabtana su'ada'a fa-athbitna, fa-innaka tamhu ma tasha'u wa tuthbitu wa 'indaka ummul-kitab' (O Allah! If You have written us with You (in the Preserved Tablet) among the wretched, then erase us from there and write us among the fortunate; and if You have written us among the fortunate, then keep it fixed and established; for You erase what You will and keep (remaining and) established what You will, and with You is the Mother of the Book (the Preserved Tablet)), as is said in the Noble Qur'an: "Allah erases what He wills and establishes, and with Him is the Mother of the Book" [Surah al-Ra'd: 39].
Imam Abdullah bin Ahmad narrated it in Kitab al-Zuhd.
