His Supplication Against Satan

ity away from us, cut off his hope from us, and keep him from craving for us! 10- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, and place our fathers, our mothers, our children, our wives, our siblings, our relatives, and the faithful among our neighbours, male and female, in a sanctuary impregnable to him, a guarding fortress, a defending cave! Clothe them in shields protective against himand give them arms that will cut him down! 11- O God, include in that everyone whowitnesses to Thee as Lord, devotes himself sincerely to Thy Unity, shows enmity toward himthrough the reality of servanthood, and seeks help from Thee against himthrough knowledge of the divine sciences! 12- O God, undo what he ties, unstitch what he sews up, dislocate what he devises, frustrate him when he makes up his mind, and destroy what he establishes! 13- O God, rout his troops, nullify his trickery, make his cave collapse, and rub his nose in the ground! 14- O God, place us in the ranks of his enemiesand remove us from the number of his friends, that we obey him not when he entices usand answer him not when he calls to us! We command everyone who obeys our commandto be his enemyand we admonish everyone who follows our prohibition not to follow him! 15- O God, bless Muhammad, the Seal of the prophets and lord of the emissaries, and the folk of his house, the good, the pure! Give refuge to us, our families, our brothers, and all the faithful, male and female, from that from which we seek refuge, and grant us sanctuary from that through fear of whichwe seek sanctuary in Thee! 16- Hear our supplication to Thee, bestow upon us that of which we have been heedless, and safeguard for us what we have forgotten! Through all this bring us into the ranks of the righteousand the degrees of the faithful! Amen, Lord of the worlds!
