ومن كلمات له (عليه السلام) كان يدعوبها
Supplications of Amīr al-mu’minin.
2
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا أَنْتَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِ مِنِّي، فَإِنْ عُدْتُ فَعُدْ لي بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ.
O my Allāh! Forgive me what Thou knowest about me more than I do. If I return (to the sins) Thou return to forgiveness.
3
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا وَأَيْتُ مِنْ نَفْسِي، وَلَمْ تَجِدْ لَهُ وَفَاءً عِنْدي.
My Allah forgive me what I had promised to myself but Thou didst not find its fulfilment with me.
4
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي مَا تَقَرَّبْتُ بِهِ إِلَيْكَ بِلِسَانِي ثُمَّ خَالَفَهُ قَلْبِي.
My Allah forgive me that with what I sought nearness to Thee with my tongue but my heart opposed and did not perform it.
5
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي رَمَزَاتِ الاْلْحَاظِ وَسَقَطَاتِ الاْلْفَاظِ وَشَهَوَاتِ الْجَنَانِ ، وَهَفَوَاتِ اللِّسَانِ.
My Allah forgive me winking of the eye, vile utterances, desires of the heart and errors of speech.
