اللهم صل على محمد و آله، و اكفنا طول الْأَمل، و قصره عنا بصدق العمل حتى لَا نؤمل استتمام ساعة بعد ساعة، و لَا استيفاء يوم بعد يوم و لَا اتصال نفس بنفس، و لَا لحوق قدم بقدم و سلمنا من غروره، و آمنا من شروره، و انصب الموت بين أيدينا نصبا، و لَا تجعل ذكرنا له غبا و اجعل لنا من صالح الْأَعمال عملًا نستبطئ معه المصير إليك
O God, Bless Muhammad and his Household, spare us drawn out expectations and cut them short in us through sincerity of works, that we may not hope expectantly for completing an hour after an hour, closing a day after a day, joining a breath to a breath, or overtaking a step with a step! Keep us safe from the delusions of expectations, make us secure from their evils, set up death before us in display. and let not our remembering of it come and go! Appoint for us from among the righteous works a work through which we will feel the homecoming to Thee as slow. part of supplication No. 40, al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya by Imam Sajjad (as).
