اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْسًا بِكَ مُطْمَئِنَّةً، تُؤْمِنُ بِلِقَائِكَ، وَتَرْضَى بِقَضَائِكَ، وَتَقْنَعُ بِعَطَائِكَ.
O Allah, I ask You for a soul at ease, which believes in meeting You, is content with Your decree, and accepts Your giving.
Allahumma inni as'aluka nafsan bika mutma'innah, tu'minu biliqa'ika, wa tardha bi qada'ika, wa taqna'u bi 'ata'ika.
