O my Companion in my hardship, O my Guardian in my blessing, O my God and the God of Abraham, Ishmael, Isaac, and Jacob, O Lord of Kaf-Ha-Ya-Ayn-Sad and Ya-Sin and the wise Qur'an! I beseech You — O Most Excellent of those besought, O Best of those called upon, O Most Generous of those who give, O Best of those hoped in — I beseech You to bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad.
