His Supplication on the Day of Sacrifice and on Friday

hou raisest me up, who is there to push me down? If Thou pushest me down, who is there to raise me up? If Thou honourest me, who is there to humiliate me? If Thou humiliatest me, who is there to honour me? If Thou chastisest me, who is there to have mercy upon me? If Thou destroyest me, who is there to stand up for Thy servant against Theeor ask Thee about his affair? But I know that there is no wrong in Thy decreeand no hurry in Thy vengeance. He alone hurries who fears to miss, and only the weak needs to wrong. But Thou art exalted, my God, high indeed above all that! 16- O God, bless Muhammad and the Household of Muhammad, make me not the target of afflictionnor the object of Thy vengeance, respite me, comfort me, release me from my stumble, and afflict me not with an affliction in the wake of an affliction, for Thou hast seen my frailty, the paucity of my stratagems, and my pleading to Thee! 17- I seek refuge in Thee today, my God, from Thy wrath, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand give me refuge! 18- I seek sanctuary in Thee today from Thy displeasure, so bless Muhammad and his Household, and give me sanctuary! 19- I ask Thee security from Thy chastisement, so bless Muhammad and his Household, and give me security! 20- I seek guidance from Thee, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand guide me! 21- I seek help from Thee, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand help me! 22- I ask Thee for mercy, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand have mercy upon me! 23- I seek sufficiency from Thee, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand suffice me! 24- I seek provision from Thee, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand provide for me! 25- I seek assistance from Thee, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand assist me! 26- I pray forgiveness for my past sins, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand forgive me! 27- I ask Thee to preserve me from sin, so bless Muhammad and his Householdand preserve me, for I will not return to anything Thou dislikest from me, if Thou willest that! 28- My Lord! My Lord! O All-loving! O All-kind! O Possessor of majesty and munificence! Bless Muhammad and his Household, and grant me everything that I ask from Thee, seek from Thee, and beseech from Thee! Will it, ordain it, decree it, and accomplish it! Give me good in that of it which Thou decreest! Bless me in that, be gratuitously bountiful toward me through it, make me happy in that of it which Thou givest to me, and increase me in Thy bountyand the plenty of what is with Thee, for Thou art Boundless, Generous! And link that to the good and the bliss of the next world, O Most Merciful of the merciful! Then you supplicate as seems proper to you and you call down blessings on Muhammad and his Household one thousand times. this is what he used to do (peace be upon him)
