His Supplication for the Removal of Worries

1 O Reliever of worry!
          O Remover of grief!
          O Merciful in this world and the next
                    and Compassionate in both!
           Bless Muhammad and his Household,
           relieve my worry,
                     and remove my grief!
2 O One, O Unique, O Eternal Refuge!
           O He Who has not begotten,
                     nor has been begotten,
                     and equal to Him is not any one!272
           Preserve me,
                     purify me,
                     and take away my affliction!

HERE YOU SHOULD RECITE THE THRONE VERSE (2:255), THE TWO SURAS OF TAKING REFUGE (113-114), AND UNITY (112).
THEN SAY:

O God,
           I ask Thee
                     with the asking of him
                               whose neediness is intense,
                               whose strength is frail,
                               whose sins are many,
                     the asking of one who finds
                               no helper in his neediness,
                               no strengthener in his frailty,
                               no forgiver of his sin
                                         other than Thee,
                     O Possessor of majesty and munificence!
           I ask of Thee
                     a work through which Thou wilt love him who works it
                     and a certainty by which Thou wilt profit him who is certain
                               with the truth of certainty
                               concerning the execution of Thy command!

4 O God,
           bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad,
           take my soul while it is firm in sincerity,
           cut off my need for this world,
           make my desire for what is with Thee
                     become a yearning to meet Thee,
           and give me true confidence in Thee!
5 I ask of Thee
                     the good of the writ that has been made
           and I seek refuge with Thee
                     from the evil of the writ that has been made.273
           I ask of Thee
                     the fear of The worshipers,
                     the worship of those humbly fearful of Thee,
                     the certainty of those who have confidence in Thee,
                     and the confidence of those who have faith in Thee.
6 O God, make
           my desire in my asking
                               like the desire of Thy friends in their asking,
                     and my fear
                               like the fear of Thy friends!
           Employ me in Thy good pleasure through works
                     in which I will not leave aside anything of Thy religion
                     fearing any of Thy creatures!
7 O God,
           this is my need,
           so make my desire for it great,
                     within it make manifest my excuse,
                     through it instil me with my argument,
                     and by means of it make well my body!
8 O God,
           some rise in the morning
                     having trust or hope in other than Thee.
           I rise in the morning,
                     and Thou art my trust and my hope in all affairs,
           so decree for me those which are best in outcome
                     and deliver me from misguiding trials,
           O Most Merciful of the merciful!
9 And God bless our chief,
           Muhammad the Messenger of God, the chosen,
           and his Household, the pure!
