Imam al-Hasan's supplication

Text and Translation

اَللّٰهُمَّ اِنِّي اَتَقَرَّبُ اِلَيْكَ بِجُوْدِكَ وَ كَرَمِكَ وَ اَتَقَرَّبُ اِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُوْلِكَ وَ اَتَقَرَّبُ اِلَيْكَ بِمَلَاۤئِكَتِكَ الْمُقَرَّبِيْنَ وَ اَنْبِيَاۤئِكَ وَ رُسُلِكَ اَنْ تُصَلِّيَ عَلٰى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَ رَسُوْلِكَ وَ عَلٰى اٰلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَنْ تُقِيْلَنِيْ عَثْرَتِيْ وَ تَسْتُرَ عَلَيَّ ذُنُوْبِيْ وَ تَغْفِرَهَا لِيْ وَ تَقْضِيَ لِيْ حَوَاۤئِجِيْ وَ لَا تُعَذِّبَنِيْ بِقَبِيْحٍ كَانَ مِنِّي فَاِنَّ عَفْوَكَ وَ جُوْدَكَ يَسَعُنِيْ اِنَّكَ عَلٰى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيْرٌ۔

O Allah, I seek nearness to You by Your generosity and nobility, and I seek nearness to You by Muhammad, Your servant and Messenger, and I seek nearness to You by Your favorite angels and Your prophets and messengers, that You bless Muhammad, Your servant and Messenger, and the Household of Muhammad, and that You overlook my slip, cover my sins and forgive them for me, settle my needs, and not punish me for any evildoing that has come from me — for Your pardon and Your generosity embrace me; surely You have power over all things.
