His Supplication in Seeking Needs from God

beseech the destitute? 18- So I went straight to Thee, my God, in beseeching, and I sent Thee my hope with trust in Thee. 19- I came to know thatthe many I request from Thee are few before Thy wealth, the weighty I ask from Thee is vile before Thy plenty; Thy generosity is not constrained by anyone's asking, Thy hand is higher in bestowing gifts than every hand! 20- O God, so bless Muhammad and his Household, take me through Thy generosity to Thy gratuitous bountyand take me not through Thy justiceto what I deserve! I am not the first beseecher to beseech Theeand Thou bestowed upon himwhile he deserved withholding, nor am I the first to ask from Theeand Thou wast bounteous toward himwhile he merited deprivation. 21- O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, respond to my supplication, come near my call, have mercy on my pleading, listen to my voice, 22- cut not short my hope for Thee, sever not my thread to Thee, turn not my face in this my need, and other needs, away from Thee, 23- attend for my sake tothe fulfillment of my request, the granting of my need, and the attainment of what I have askedbefore I leave this placethrough Thy making easy for me the difficultand Thy excellent ordainment for me in all affairs! 24- Bless Muhammad and his Householdwith a permanent, ever-growing blessing, whose perpetuity has no cutting offand whose term knows no limit, and make that a help to meand a cause for the granting of my request! Thou art Boundless, Generous! 25- And of my needs, My Lord, are such and such. HERE YOU SHOULD STATE YOUR NEEDS, THEN PROSTRATE YOURSELF, AND SAY IN YOUR PROSTRATIONThy bounty has comforted meand Thy beneficence has shown the way, So I ask Thee by Theeand by Muhammad and his Household(Thy blessings be upon them)that Thou sendest me not back in disappointment!
