Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Abu Ja’far Muhammad Basri narrates from that man who was called Salim that it is from the supplications of Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): O Allah! Make me among those whose deeds You are pleased with, whose hopes You have made small, whose lives You have lengthened, and to whom You will grant a pure life and pure sustenance after death. O Allah! I ask You for such a blessing that never ends, and such happiness that never returns, and the companionship of Your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and Ibrahim in the highest, everlasting ranks of Paradise. O Allah! Grant me such a corner in which my heart becomes enlightened, tears flow from my eyes, my body trembles, my side separates from the bed, and I find benefit in my heart from it. O Allah! Purify my heart from hypocrisy, my chest from malice, my deeds from showing off, my eyes from treachery, my tongue from lying, and grant blessing in my hearing and my heart. And accept my repentance. Surely, You are the Acceptor of repentance, the Most Merciful. O Allah! I seek refuge in the honor of Your Face, which has illuminated the seven heavens, by which darknesses have been removed, and by which the affairs of the first and the last have been set right, from Your wrath descending upon me, or Your displeasure befalling me, from turning away from Your guidance and following my desires, or from saying to the disbelievers that they are more rightly guided than the believers. O Allah! Be merciful, kind, and compassionate to me, and be my supporter in my need. O Allah! Forgive me, O Forgiver, accept my repentance, O Acceptor of repentance, have mercy on me, O Most Merciful, and pardon me, O Forbearing One. O my God! Grant me sustenance sufficient for my needs, grant me the ability to strive in worship, and inspire me to bear witness before You in such a way that its glad tidings surpass its hardship, and its joy surpasses its sorrow. O my Lord, grant me radiance, delight, and comfort at the time of death, and ease in death. O Allah! Make me steadfast in the grave. Show me the scene of my liking in my home. Brighten my face on the Day of Resurrection. Make my speech firm. Cool my eyes. Fulfill my wishes. Cast a merciful glance upon me on the Day of Resurrection. By Your blessing, good deeds are completed. O Allah! I am weak and You have created me in a state of weakness. The real desire is Yours, so guide me to the straight path of Your desire.
