اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي مِكْيَالِهِمْ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي صَاعِهِمْ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي مُدِّهِمْ، اللَّهُمَّ ابْسُطْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ، وَاِكْفِهِمْ مَجَاعَةً، اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَهُمْ فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، وَارْزُقْهُمْ مِنْ ثَمَرِهَا، اللَّهُمَّ حَبِّبْ إِلَى أَحَدِهِمْ الْمَدِينَةَ كَحُبِّهِمْ أَوْ أَشَدَّ، وَاجْعَلْهَا لَهُمْ نَاصِرًا، وَاقْهَرْ لَهُمْ أَعْدَاءَهَا، وَتَوَفَّهُمْ فِي سَبِيلِكَ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ كَانَ عَبْدَكَ وَخَلِيلَكَ، وَنَبِيَّكَ، وَإِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ، وَإِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لِي فِي الْمَدِينَةِ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ لِإِبْرَاهِيمَ فِي مَكَّةَ، وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لَهُمْ مَعِي، اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُبَارِكَ لَهُمْ فِي صَاعِهِمْ وَمُدِّهِمْ، وَفِي ثَمَرِهِمْ، وَفِي ثِيَابِهِمْ، وَفِي جَمِيعِ مَشَارِقِ الأَرْضِ، وَحَوَالَيْهَا، وَأَنْ تَكْفِيَهُمْ شَرَّ كُلِّ جَبَّارٍ عَنِيدٍ، وَشَرَّ السَّقَمِ، وَشَرَّ الْفِتْنَةِ، وَشَرَّ الْحَسَدِ، وَأَنْ تُخْرِجَهُمْ إِلَى أَنْ يَأْتُوكَ يَطْلُبُونَ طَلَبَكَ.
O Allah, bless their measures and bless their Sa' and their Mudd (units of measure). O Allah, expand for them from Your provision and suffice them from famine. O Allah, bless them in Madinah, and provide for them from its fruits. O Allah, make Madinah as beloved to one of them as (or more beloved than) their own selves. Make it their helper, and overcome their enemies for them, and cause them to die in Your cause. O Allah, Ibrahim was Your servant and Your close friend and Your prophet, and I am Your servant and Your messenger. I ask You to bless me in Madinah as You blessed Ibrahim in Makkah. And I ask You to bless them with me. O Allah, I ask You to bless them in their Sa' and their Mudd, and in their fruits, and in their clothes, and in all the east and west of the earth, and to suffice them from the evil of every stubborn tyrant, and from the evil of disease, and the evil of trials, and the evil of envy, and to bring them out (from their homes) to You seeking what You have.
Allahumma barik lahum fi mikyalihim, wa barik lahum fi sa'ihim, wa barik lahum fi muddihim. Allahumma-b-sut 'alayhim min rizqik, wakfihim majaa'ah. Allahumma barik lahum fil-Madinah, warzuqhum min thimariha. Allahumma habbib ila ahadihimul-Madinah, ka hubbihim aw ashadd, waj'alha lahum nasiran, w-aqhar lahum a'daa'aha, wa tawaffahum fi sabilik. Allahumma inna Ibrahim kana 'abdaka wa khaleelaka, wa nabiyyaka, wa inni 'abdaka wa rasuluka, wa inni as'aluka an tubarika li fil-Madinah, kama barakta li Ibrahim fi Makkah. Wa as'aluka an tubarika lahum ma'i. Allahumma inni as'aluka an tubarika lahum fi sa'ihim wa muddihim, wa fi thimarihim, wa fi thiyabihim, wa fi jamee' mashariqil-ardi, wa hawalayha, wa an takfiyahum sharra kulli jabbarin 'aneed, wa sharra-s-saqam, wa sharra-l-fitnah, wa sharra-l-hasad, wa an tukhrijahum ila an ya'tuka yatlubuna talabak.

Narrated Anas: The Prophet ﷺ said, 'O Allah, bless their measures, and bless their Sa' and their Mudd, and bless their fruit. O Allah, make Madinah as beloved to them as Makkah or more so, and make it a healthy (place), and move its fever to al-Juhfah.' He was asked: 'O Messenger of Allah, when you were in Makkah, you prayed for its blessing, and we have a similar thing like it in Madinah.' So he said, 'O Allah, bless their measures, and bless their Sa' and their Mudd, and bless their fruit.' Anas said: 'And he said: 'O Allah, make Madinah as beloved to them as Makkah or more so, and make it a healthy (place), and move its fever to al-Juhfah.'
