اللهم صل على محمد و آله، و ارزقني الرغبة في العمل لك لِآخرتي حتى أعرف صدق ذلك من قلبي و حتى يكون الغالب علي الزهد في دنياي، و حتى أعمل الحسنات شوقا، و آمن من السيئات فرقا و خوفا، و هب لي نورا أمشي به في الناس، و أهتدي به في الظلمات
O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and provide me with the desire to serve Thee for the sake of my state in the Hereafter, such that I know the truthfulness of that [desire] in my heart, that I be dominated by unwillingness to [be attached to] this world, that I do good deeds with yearning, and that I remain secure from evil deeds in fright and fear! And give me a light whereby I may walk among the people, and be guided in the shadows.
part of supplication No. 22, al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya by Imam Sajjad (as).
