"عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْن جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: لَمَّا تُوُفِّىَ أَبُو طَالِبٍ خَرَجَ النَّبىُّ ﷺ إِلَى الطَّائِفِ مَاشيًا عَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ، دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الإسْلامِ فَلَمْ يُجِيبُوُه، فَاَنْصرَفَ فَأَتَى ظِلَّ شَجَرةٍ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَشْكُو ضَعْفَ قُوَّتِى، وَقِلَّةَ حيلَتِى، وَهَوَانى عَلَى النَّاسِ، يا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمينَ أَنْتَ أَرْحَمُ بِى، إِلَى مَنْ تَكِلُنِى؟ إِلَى عَدُوٍّ تَجَهَمَنِى، أمْ إِلَى قَرِيبٍ مَلَّكْتَهُ أَمْرِى؟ إِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ غَضْبَانَ عَلَىَّ فَلا أُبَالِى، غَيْرَ أَنَّ عَاقبَتَكَ هِىَ أَوْسَعُ لِى، أَعُوذُ بِنُورِ وَجْهِكَ الَّذِى أَشْرَقَتْ لَهُ الظُّلُمَاتُ، وَصَلُحَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ أَنْ يَنْزِلَ بِى غَضَبُكَ، وَأَنْ تُحِلَّ عَلَىَّ سَخَطَكَ، لَكَ الْعُتْبَى حَتَّى تَرْضَى، وَلا حَوْلَ وَلا قُوَّةَ إِلا بِكَ".

"From ʿAbdullāh b. Jaʿfar, who said: When Abū Ṭālib died, the Prophet ﷺ went out to al-Ṭāʾif on foot. He called them to Islam but they did not respond to him. So he turned back and came to the shade of a tree, and prayed two rakʿahs. Then he said: O Allah, to You I complain of my weakness of strength, my lack of resourcefulness, and my lowliness before the people. O Most Merciful of the merciful, You are more merciful to me. To whom do You entrust me? To an enemy who scowls at me, or to a relative to whom You have given control over my affair? If You are not angry with me, then I do not mind; however, Your well-being is more spacious for me. I seek refuge in the light of Your Face, by which the darknesses were illuminated and by which the affairs of this world and the Hereafter were set right, from Your anger descending upon me, or Your wrath befalling me. To You belongs the right of reproach until You are pleased, and there is no power and no strength except through You."
