Supplication for Saturday by Imām ʻali Zayn-al-ʻābidīn ^{-Peace be upon him-} 

In the name of God, the word of those who hold fast to Him, the speech of those who seek His protection! I seek refuge in God ^{(high exalted is He)} from the injustice of the unjust, the trickery of the enviers, and the oppression of the wrongdoers, and I praise Him beyond the praise of the praisers!

O God, Thou art the One without partner, and the King without having been made sovereign; no one opposes Thee in Thy decree and no one contests Thee in Thy kingdom!

I ask Thee to bless Muẖammad and his Household, Thy servant and Thy messenger,

• inspire me with a thanksgiving for Thy favours which will take me to the utmost limit of Thy good pleasure,
• help me through the gentleness of Thy solitude to obey Thee, hold fast to worshipping Thee, and deserve Thy reward, have mercy upon me, 
• bar me from acts of disobedience toward Thee as long as Thou keepest me alive, give me success in what profits me as long as Thou sparest me,
• expand my breast through Thy Book, lessen my burden through its recitation,
• bestow upon me health in my religion and my soul, estrange not my intimates from me,
• and complete Thy beneficence in what is left of my lifetime, just as Thou hast shown beneficence in that of it which has passed! O Most Merciful of the merciful!
