are acceptable to You, bless Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his Progeny

this world, save my face, hands, tongue and chastity so that I do not ask
from anyone other than You. Make ways in my dealings and make the
ways vast, as You are the Knower and I am ignorant. You are possessor
of Power and I am feeble and You have power over all things. By Your
mercy O most Merciful of all the mercifuls. And bless the leader of all the
Prophets, our leader Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the messenger and his
progeny (a.s.) the pure.
