Du’a: #43 O LORD of Abiding Blessings

Imām al-Bukhārī reports from the narration of Rifā‘ah ibn Rāfi‘ raḍiya Allāhu ‘anhu, that the Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam used to say among his supplications:

Text

اللَّهُمَّ لَكَ الـحمْدُ كُلُّهُ.. اللَّهُمَّ لَا قَابِضَ لِـمَا بَسَطْتَ، وَلَا بَاسِطَ لِـمَا قَبَضْتَ، وَلَا هَادِيَ لِـمَا أَضْلَلْتَ، وَلَا مُضِلَّ لـِمَنْ هَدَيْتَ، وَلَا مُعْطِيَ لِـمَا مَنَعْتَ، وَلَا مَانِعَ لِـمَا أَعْطَيْتَ، وَلَا مُقَرِّبَ لِـمَا بَاعَدْتَ، وَلَا مُبَاعِدَ لِـمَا قَرَّبْتَ. اللَّهُمَّ ابْسُطْ عَلَيْنَا مِنْ بَرَكَاتِكَ وَرَحْـمَتِكَ وَفَضْلِكَ وَرِزْقِكَ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْأَلُكَ النَّعِيمَ الـْمُقِيمَ الَّذِي لَا يَـحُولُ وَلَا يَزُولُ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّـي أَسْأَلُكَ النَّعِيمَ يَوْمَ الْعَيْلَةِ، وَالْأَمْنَ يَوْمَ الْـخَوْفِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّـي عَائِذٌ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَعْطَيْتَنَا وَشَرِّ مَا مَنَعْتَنَا.ـ

“O Allah, all praise is due to You. O Allah, none can contract what You expand nor expand what you contract. And none can guide what You have misguided, nor misguide whom You have guided. None can give what You withhold nor withhold what You give. None brings near what you put far away nor puts far away what You bring near. O Allah, expand to us some of Your blessings, mercy and favour and give us provision! O Allah, I ask You for the abiding blessing which is neither changed nor removed. O Allah, I ask You for blessing on the Day of Utter Poverty and security on the Day of Fear. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from the evil of what You give us, and from the evil of what You give us not.”
