3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from Ali ibn Ri’ab from ‘Abd al-Salih, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, who has said the following: “Say the following prayer in the month of Ramadan to welcome the year. Whoever says this prayer, expecting reward for it (from Allah), and with sincerity, no illness or crisis will affect his religion or his body and Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, will protect him against all evil that may come in that year. ‘O Lord, I plead before You for help through Your name to which all things are close. I plead before You for help through Your kindness, which encompasses all things, through Your majesty with which You have subdued all things, through Your greatness before which all things express humbleness. I plead before You for help through Your power, before which all things are submissive, through the compelling power with which You are dominant over all things, and I plead before You for help through Your knowledge, which encompasses all things. O Light, O Holy, O the First before all things, O Ever Living after all things, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause and forgive my sins that change bounties. Forgive my sins, which bring upon me misfortune. Forgive my sins, which cutoff hope. Forgive my sins, which help enemies to dominate me. Forgive my sins because of which my prayers are rejected. Forgive my sins because of which I deserve to suffer by (heavenly) descending afflictions. Forgive my sins, which stop the rain from coming down from the sky. Forgive my sins, which uncover my privacy. Forgive my sins, which hasten the coming of destruction upon me. Forgive my sins, which make me regret; forgive my sins, which destroy innocence; and dress me with Your invincible shield at which no one is able to aim. Grant me protection against things of which I am afraid in the nights and days of the coming year. “0 Allah, Lord of the seven skies and seven earths and all that are between them, and Lord of the great Throne, Lord of seven (verses) read twice, Lord of the great Quran, Lord of Israfil, Michael, Gabriel and Lord of Muhammad and his family, master of the messengers, the seal of the prophets. I plead before you through Yourself and through that which is Your name. O the Great One who grants great favors and repels all difficulties, gives all appreciable matters, increases the virtuous matters because of very little deeds and a great many things, You do whatever You like. O powerful One, O Allah, O Beneficent, O Merciful, I plead before You to grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause). Dress me during the remaining days of this year with Your covering. Dress my face with Your light, make me loveable through Your love, make me reach a status that will please You and Your honor and grace, Your appreciable favors of the best things with You and of the best rewards You bestow upon anyone of Your creatures. Dress me with good health from You. O the One before whom complaints are presented, I plead before You; O the One who is present during all secret conversations, I plead before You; O the One who has knowledge of all secret matters. O the One, who (has the power which) repels everything of the misfortune that You want to repel. I plead before You, O the One who forgives with grace. I plead before You, O the One who ignores shortcomings with goodness. Make me die as followers of the religion of Ibrahim and his discipline and in the religion of Muhammad following his noble tradition. Make me die in the best form of death. Make me die loving Your friends and as an enemy of Your enemies. “0 Allah, make me to stay away, during this year, from every deed, word or action that takes me away from You. O Allah, attract me toward every deed, word or action that takes me closer to You during this year. O Merciful, the Beneficent, stop me from doing every deed, act or saying any word whereby I fear harmful consequences and Your disliking, thereby turning Your face from me, and thereby I suffer a decrease in favors I can receive from You, O compassionate and merciful. “0 Allah, make me in the remaining days of this year to live in Your protection, neighborhood and shelter. Dress me with good health from You. Make Your grace to encompass me. Your neighborhood is valuable. Praise of Your face is glorious and no one besides You deserves worship. “ 0 Allah, make me a follower of the righteous people who lived before, of Your friends, and join me with them. Make me submissive to those who spoke the truth about You. I seek refuge with You, O my Lord, against being encompassed by my sins, my injustice, my excessive behavior against my soul, my following my desires and my lustful behavior which become a barrier between me and Your kindness, Your pleasure and thus I become forgotten in Your sight, exposed to Your displeasure and being despised. “ 0 Allah, grant me the opportunity to do such virtuous deeds with which You will be pleased and lead me closer to You in salvation. “ 0 Allah, just as you protected Your prophet, Muhammad, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, against fear from Your enemy, provided him ease, relieved him of his sadness, made your promise to come true for him, and Your appointment to take place. O Allah, in the same way protect me against frightening matters in this year and the misfortunes, illnesses, crisis, evils, sadness and financial constraints therein. Make me reach and enjoy through Your kindness perfect health, complete and continuous good health and bounties before me up to the time of my death. I appeal before You as one who has done injustice to himself and confessed his sins, and I appeal before You to forgive my sins in the past that Your keepers have listed and Your honorable scribes have counted against me. O Allah, grant me safety against sins in the remaining time of my life up to the time of my death. O Allah, O Beneficent, grant salawat (favors and compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause), and grant me my appeals for which I have expressed great hope before You. You have commanded me to appeal before You and have promised to grant my wishes.”’
IsnādAli ibn Ibrahim a rapporté de son père, de Ibn Mahboub, de Ali ibn Ri'ab, de l'homme pieux (que la paix soit sur lui) qui a dit:
"Récite cette invocation pendant le mois de Ramadan avant l'entrée de la nouvelle année. Celui qui la récite avec sincérité et conviction, aucune épreuve ni calamité ne l'atteindra cette année-là, préservant ainsi sa religion et sa santé. Ô Allah, je Te demande par Ton nom auquel tout obéit, par Ta miséricorde qui englobe toute chose, par Ta puissance par laquelle Tu domines tout, par Ta grandeur devant laquelle tout s'incline, par Ta force à laquelle tout se soumet, par Ta toute-puissance qui surpasse tout, par Ta connaissance qui enveloppe toute chose. Ô Lumière, ô Saint, ô Premier avant toute chose, ô Dernier après toute chose, ô Allah, ô Miséricordieux, ô Allah, accorde des bénédictions à Muhammad et à la famille de Muhammad. Pardonne-moi les péchés qui altèrent les bienfaits, les péchés qui attirent les châtiments, les péchés qui brisent l'espoir, les péchés qui attisent les ennemis, les péchés qui repoussent les invocations, les péchés qui méritent l'envoi des épreuves, les péchés qui retiennent la pluie du ciel, les péchés qui dévoilent les couvertures, les péchés qui hâtent la fin, les péchés qui engendrent le regret, les péchés qui brisent les protections. Revêts-moi de Ton armure invincible, protège-moi du mal que je crains de jour comme de nuit en cette nouvelle année. Ô Allah, Seigneur des sept cieux et des sept terres, de tout ce qu'ils contiennent, de tout ce qui est entre eux, Seigneur du Trône immense, Seigneur des sept répétés, du Noble Coran, Seigneur d'Israfil, de Mikail, de Jibril, Seigneur de Muhammad (que la paix soit sur lui) et de sa noble famille, le maître des messagers, le sceau des prophètes. Je Te demande par Ton nom, ô Grand, Toi qui accorde la grandeur, qui éloigne tout danger, qui donne généreusement, qui multiplie les bonnes actions, peu importe leur quantité, qui fait ce qu'Il veut, ô Tout-Puissant, ô Allah, ô Miséricordieux, ô Compatissant, accorde des bénédictions à Muhammad et à sa famille. Revêts-moi de Ta protection en cette nouvelle année, entoure-moi de Ta proximité, de Ta couverture, magnifie-moi avec Ta protection, accorde-moi Ta dignité, ô Noble Voisin, ô Celui dont la louange est éminente. Il n'y a de divinité que Toi. Ô Allah, fais de moi un suiveur des pieux qui ont précédé parmi Tes alliés, associe-moi à eux, fais de moi un musulman qui proclame la vérité sur Toi parmi eux. Je cherche refuge en Toi, ô mon Dieu, contre mes erreurs, mes injustices, mes excès envers moi-même, ma poursuite de mes désirs et de mes passions, qui pourraient m'éloigner de Ta miséricorde et de Ton agrément, me laissant oublié de Toi, exposé à Ta colère et à Ta vengeance. Ô Allah, accorde-moi la réussite dans toute action vertueuse qui Te satisfait et qui me rapproche de Toi, ô Miséricordieux, comme Tu as suffi à Ton Prophète Muhammad contre ses ennemis, Tu as dissipé ses soucis, Tu as levé ses chagrins, Tu as confirmé Tes promesses envers lui, Tu as accompli Tes engagements envers lui. Ô Allah, fais de même pour moi en cette année, écarte de moi les difficultés, les maladies, les épreuves, les maux, les tristesses, les difficultés de subs
