Sirat Ibn Hisham 492
His ﷺ turning to his Lord in complaint
[ تَوَجُّهُهُ ﷺ إلَى رَبِّهِ بِالشَّكْوَى ] فَلَمَّا اطْمَأَنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ - فِيمَا ذُكِرَ لِي -: اللَّهُمَّ إلَيْكَ أَشْكُو ضَعْفَ قُوَّتِي، وَقِلَّةَ حِيلَتِي، وَهَوَانِي عَلَى النَّاسِ، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ، أَنْتَ رَبُّ الْمُسْتَضْعَفِينَ، وَأَنْتَ رَبِّي، إلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِي ؟ إلَى بَعِيدٍ يَتَجَهَّمُنِي ؟ أَمْ إلَى عَدُوٍّ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِي ؟ إنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِكَ عَلَيَّ غَضَبٌ فَلَا أُبَالِي، وَلَكِنَّ عَافِيَتَكَ هِيَ أَوْسَعُ لِي، أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِي أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ وَصَلُحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ مِنْ أَنْ تُنْزِلَ بِي غَضَبَكَ، أَوْ يَحِلَّ عَلَيَّ سُخْطُكَ، لَكَ الْعُتْبَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إلَّا بِكَ
Translation
✧ [His ﷺ turning to his Lord with complaint] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was at ease, he said—as it has been related to me—: “O Allah, to You I complain of my weakness of strength, the littleness of my stratagem, and my abasement before the people, O Most Merciful of the merciful. You are the Lord of the weak, and You are my Lord; to whom will You entrust me? To a distant one who will receive me with a frowning face, or to an enemy whom You have given mastery over my affair? If there is no anger from You upon me, I care not; yet Your forgiveness is wider for me. I seek refuge in the light of Your face by which the darknesses are illuminated and upon which the affair of this world and the Hereafter is set aright, from Your sending down Your wrath upon me, or Your displeasure alighting upon me. To You belongs the right to be satisfied until You are pleased; and there is no power and no strength except in You.”
