goes. Therefore the wronged from among us seeks refuge in You. The vanquished from among us<br />

relies on You, resorts to You, seeks help from You when deserted by the aider, cries to You for<br />

help when neglected by the helper, seeks shelter in You<br />

[1] Usool al‐Kafi, vol. 2, p. 553.<br />

when banished by the courtyards, knocks on Your gate when doors with bolts are closed before<br />

him, reaches You when the heedless kings are veiled from him. You know what happens to him<br />

before he <strong>com</strong>plains of it to You; You know what sets him right before he supplicates You for it;<br />

therefore praise belongs to You, O Aware, Knowing, Most Kind!<br />

“O Allah, and that it certainly was in Your previous knowledge, Your firm decree, Your going on<br />

determination, and Your valid <strong>com</strong>mand. Your will is in process among all Your servants, happy<br />

and unhappy, pious and sinful. You have given so‐and‐so power over me, and he has wronged me<br />

with it, aggressed against me through his position, showed audaciousness and mighty through his<br />

authority with which You have invested him, showed tyranny and pride through his high state<br />

which You have given to him. Your giving respite to him has deluded him and Your clemency<br />

toward him has made him tyrannical, so he has aimed at me with detested things toward which I<br />

am impatient, intentionally performed to me evil (things) before which I am feeble. I cannot seek<br />

justice from him because of my frailty nor can I gain a victory over him because of the paucity (of<br />

my supporters); therefore I have entrusted his affair to You and I have relied on You in respect<br />

with his affair.<br />

You have threatened him with Your punishment, warned him through Your power, and frightened<br />

him with Your vengeance, but he has thought that Your clemency toward him is out of weakness,<br />

and Your giving respite to him is out of feebleness. None has prevented him from (doing) another,<br />

nor has he been prevented from a second by a first. However, he has gone too far in his error,<br />

continued doing wrong, persevered in his enmity, and increased his tyranny, out of audaciousness<br />

toward You. O my Master and Protector! Undertake Your wrath You do not withhold from the<br />

oppressors. So here I am, O my Master, wronged under his authority, abased in his courtyard,<br />

transgressed, apprehensive, fearful, terrified, and vanquished.<br />

My patience has be<strong>com</strong>e little; my strength has be<strong>com</strong>e narrow. The ways have been closed<br />

before me except (the one leading) to You; the directions have been blocked up all around me<br />

except a direction to Your. My affairs have be<strong>com</strong>e ambiguous in repelling his detested things.<br />

The opinions have be<strong>com</strong>e dubious to me in removing his oppression; the one from among Your<br />

creatures I have asked for help has deserted me; the one from among Your servants to whom I<br />

have clung has handed me over. So I had consulted my adviser and he advised me to beseech You.<br />

I had asked my guide to show me the right way and he showed me none except You. Therefore I<br />

have <strong>com</strong>e back to You, O my Protector, lowly, willingly, miserable, knowing that there is no relief<br />
