Peace be on you, O Abal Hasan Ali, son of Musa al-Ridha and mercy of Allah and his blessings. O Allah! Send blessings upon Muhammad and on the progeny of Muhammad, and like You have honoured him with Muhammad, Your Prophet and appointed him as Your truthful guide, then he called towards Your path with wisdom and fair exhortation,

فَاَكْمِلْ لَهُ الْعَهْدَ وَ تَـمِّمْ لَهُ الْوَعْدَ وَ اَيِّدْهُ وَ ذُرِّيَّتَهٗ وَ اَوْلِيَآئَهٗ بِالنَّصْرِ وَ الْـجُنْدِ لِيُخَلِّصَ الدِّيْنَ بِالْـجِدِّ فَيَعْمَلَ فِيْ ذٰلِكَ بِالْـجَهْدِ وَ يُصَيِّرَ لَكَ الدِّيْنَ خَالِصًا وَ الْـحَمْدَ تَامًّا

then complete for him the promise, then complete for him the covenant and finish for him the promise, and support him and his progeny and his friends with victory and army to purify the religion with devotion, then act in it with exertion so he renders for Your pure religion and complete praise.

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَيْهِ حَيًّا وَ مَيِّتًا وَ عَـجِّلْ فَرَجَنَا بِهٖ وَ بِالْوَصِيِّ مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ وَ انْصُرْهُ عَلٰى اَهْلِ طَاعَةِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَ اَعْزِزْ بِهِ الْاِيْـمَانَ وَ اَذْلِلْ بِهِ الشَّيْطَانَ.‏

O Allah! Send blessings upon him when he is alive and when he dies, and expediate our relief by him and the vicegerent after him, and help him against the people of Satan, and through him honour the belief and degrade the Satan.
