بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَـٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ. اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَرَبَّ الأَرْضِ، رَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ، فَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى، وَمُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ، أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ أَنْتَ آخِذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهَا، اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ الأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ، وَأَنْتَ البَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ، اقْضِ عَنِّي الدَّيْنَ وَأَغْنِنِي مِنَ الْفَقْرِ. اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of all things. The One who causes the grain and the date-stone to split and sprout, the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every moving creature, the forelock of which You are seizing. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You. You are the Last, so there is nothing after You. You are the Most显 (Manifest), so there is nothing above You. You are the Most Hidden (Unmanifest), so there is nothing nearer than You. Pay off my debt and make me free from want. O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted, so that I have no need of what You have forbidden; and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need assistance from anyone besides You.
Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm. Allāhumma Rabba as-samāwāti wa Rabba al-arḍi, Rabba kulli shay', fāliqal-ḥabbi wan-nawā, wa munzilat-tawrāti wal-injīli wal-furqān, a'ūdhu bika min sharri kulli dābbatin anta ākhidun bināṣiyatihā. Allāhumma anta al-awwalu falaysa qablaka shay', wa anta al-ākhiru falaysa ba'daka shay', wa anta aẓ-ẓāhiru falaysa fawqaka shay', wa anta al-bāṭinu falaysa dūnaka shay'. Iqḍi 'annid-dayna wa aghninī minal-faqr. Allāhumma ikfinī biḥalālika 'an ḥarāmika, wa aghninī bifadlika 'amman siwāk.

It was narrated from 'Abdullah bin Ja'far that his father said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying: "O Allah, Lord of the heavens and Lord of the earth, Lord of all things. The One who causes the grain and the date-stone to split and sprout, the Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Furqan. I seek refuge in You from the evil of every moving creature, the forelock of which You are seizing. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You. You are the Last, so there is nothing after You. You are the Most显 (Manifest), so there is nothing above You. You are the Most Hidden (Unmanifest), so there is nothing nearer than You. Pay off my debt and make me free from want. O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted, so that I have no need of what You have forbidden; and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need assistance from anyone besides You."
