## Origin

Imam Zayn al-Abidin (a), al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya, supplication 45: bidding farewell to Ramadan. Transmitted through the chain given in the Sahifa's preface; standard printed editions.

## Preface

This supplication is one of the masterpieces of the Ṣaḥīfah al-Sajjādiyyah. It is a supplication bidding adieu to the blessed month of fasting and self-reformation, a month that is beloved by the friends of Allah. As such, the supplication is read with the sorrow and sadness, just as one would grieve when saying goodbye to an intimate companion or a near relative leaving for a year-long journey.

50. الَّذِي فِيهِ حَظُّهُمْ عَلَى مَا لَوْ سَتَرْتَهُ عَنْهُمْ\
   *lad'ee feehee h'az'-z'uhum a'laa maa law satar-tahoo a'n-hum*\

   *faqul-ta: (ud'-kurooneee ad'-kur-kum- wa ash-kuroo lee wa laa tak-furoon)*\
   for You have said, "Remember Me and I will remember you be thankful to Me, and be you not thankless towards Me" (2:152)!

54. وَقُلْتَ: (لَئِنْ شَكَـرْتُمْ لازِيدَنَّكمْ\
   *waqul-ta: (la-in shakar-tum laazeedan-nakum*\
   You have said, "If you are thankful, surely I will increase you,

55. وَلَئِنْ كَفَـرْتُمْ إنَّ عَذابِيْ لَشَدِيدٌ)\
   *wala-in kafar-tum in-na a'd'aabee lashadeed)*\
   but if you are thankless, My chastisement is surely terrible" (14:7);

56. وَقُلْتَ : (ادْعُونِيْ أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ\
   *wa qul-ta: (ud-u'wneee as-tajib lakum*\
   And You have said, "Supplicate Me and I will respond to you,

57. إنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي\
   *in-nal-lad'eena yas-tak-biroona a'n i'baadatee*\
   surely those who wax too proud to worship Me

58. سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ)\
   *sayad-khuloona jahan-nama daakhireen)*\
   shall enter Gehenna utterly abject" (40:60).

59. فَسَمَّيْتَ دُعَاءَكَ عِبَادَةً، وَتَرْكَهُ اسْتِكْبَاراً،\
   *fasam-may-ta dua'aa-aka i'baadah wa tar-kahoo as-tik-baaraa*\
   Hence You have named supplicating You 'worship' and refraining from it 'waxing proud',

60. وَتَوَعَّدْتَ عَلَى تَرْكِهِ دُخُولَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَ،\
   *wa tawaa'-a't-ta a'laa tar-kihee dukhoola jahan-nama daakhireen*\
   and You have threatened that the refraining from it would yield entrance into Gehenna in utter abjection.

61. فَذَكَرُوكَ بِمَنِّكَ وَشَكَرُوكَ بِفَضْلِكَ،\
   *fad'akarooka biman-nik wa shakarooka bifaz''-lik*\
   So they remember You for Your kindness, they thank You for Your bounty,

62. وَدَعَوْكَ بِأَمْرِكَ،\
   *wa daa'w-ka bi m-rik*\
   they supplicate You by Your command,

63. وَتَصَدَّقُوا لَكَ طَلَباً لِمَزِيدِكَ،\
   *wa tas'ad-daqoo laka t'alabal-limazeedik*\
   and they donate for You in order to seek Your increase;

64. وَفِيهَا كَانَتْ نَجَاتُهُمْ مِنْ غَضَبِكَ،\
   *wa feehaa kaanat najaatuhum min ghaz''abik*\
   in all this lies their deliverance from Your wrath

65. وَفَوْزُهُمْ بِرِضَاكَ،\
   *wa faw-zuhum biriz''aak*\
   and their triumph through Your good pleasure.

66. وَلَوْ دَلَّ مَخْلُوقٌ مَخْلُوقاً مِنْ نَفْسِهِ\
   *wa law dal-la makh-looqum-makh-looqam-min-naf-sihee*\
   Were any creature himself to direct another creature

67. عَلَى مِثْلِ الَّذِيْ دَلَلْتَ عَلَيْهِ عِبَادَكَ مِنْكَ\
   *a'laa mith-lil-lad'ee dalal-ta a'lay-hee i'baadaka minka*\
   to the like of that to which You Yourself have directed Your servants,

68. كَانَ مَوْصُوفاً بِالْإِحْسَانِ\
   *kaana maw-s'oofam-bil-ih'-saan*\
   he would be described by beneficence,

69. وَمَنْعُوتاً بِالِامْتِنَانِ ، وَمَحْمُوداً بِكُلِّ لِسَانٍ،\
   *wa man-u'wtam-biiam-tinaan wa mah'-moodam-bikul-li lisaan*\
   qualified by kindness, and praised by every tongue.

70. فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ مَا وُجِدَ فِي حَمْدِكَ مَذْهَبٌ،\
   *falakal-h'am-du maa wujida fee h'am-dika mad'-hab*\
   So to You belongs praise as long as there is found a way to praise You

71. وَمَا بَقِيَ لِلْحَمْدِ لَفْظٌ تُحْمَدُ بِهِ، وَ مَعْنًى يَنْصَرِفُ إِلَيْهِ.\
   *wa maa baqee lil-h'am-di laf-z'un tuh'-madu bihee wa maa'-nana yans'arifu ilay-h*\
   and as long as there remains for praising words by which You may be praised and meanings which may be spent in praise!

72. يَا مَنْ تَحَمَّدَ إِلَى عِبَادِهِ بِالْإِحْسَانِ وَالْفَضْلِ،\
   *yaa man tah'am-mada ilaa i'baadihee bil-ih'-saani wal-faz''-li*\
   O He who shows Himself praiseworthy to His servants through beneficence and bounty,

   *maaa af-shaa feenaa nia'-mataka? wa as-bagha a'lay-naa min-nataka*\
   How much Your favour has been spread about among us, Your kindness lavished upon us,

75. وَأَخَصَّنَا بِبِرِّكَ\
   *wa akhas'-s'anaa bibir-rika*\
   and Your goodness singled out for us!
