بِسْمِ اللَّهِ وَلَجْنَا، وَبِسْمِ اللَّهِ خَرَجْنَا، وَعَلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّنَا تَوَكَّلْنَا. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ خَيْرَ الْمَدْخَلِ، وَخَيْرَ الْمَخْرَجِ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ رِزْقًا وَاسِعًا، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لِي فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي، وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ ضِيقِ الْمَعِيشَةِ وَسُوءِ الْحَيَاةِ وَالْمَمَاتِ.
