O Allah, I ask You for the means that necessitate Your mercy, the firm resolves of Your forgiveness, the booty of every righteousness, and safety from every sin. O Allah, leave no sin of mine but You forgive it, no worry but You relieve it, no debt but You settle it, and no need among the needs of this world and the Hereafter but You fulfill it by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
