His Supplication when his Provision was Stinted

1- O God, Thou hast tried us withdistrust in our provisionsand the expectation of long lives, until we begged for provisions from those who are providedand craved in our expectationsthe life-spans of the long-lived! 2- So bless Muhammad and his Household, give us a true certaintythat will suffice us the burden of seeking, and inspire us with a sincere trustthat will release us from the hardship of exertion! 3- Let Thy clear promise in Thy Revelationwhich Thou hast followed in Thy Book with Thy oathcut off our worry about the provisionfor which Thou hast made Thyself responsibleand sever our occupation with everythingwhose sufficiency Thou hast guaranteed! 4- For Thou hast said- and Thy word is the most truthful truth -and Thou hast sworn- and Thy oath is the most kept and fulfilled -In the heaven are your provision and everything you are promised! 5- And then Thou hast said, So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech! 1
