For Pressing Need to be Fulfilled

O, Muhammad! Whosoever has a wish [and keeps it hidden from everyone] should call and invoke Me in midnight, with a clean and purified body and say this Prayer: 

يَا اللهُ مَا أَجِدُ أَحَداً إِلاَّ وَ أَنْتَ رَجَاؤُهُ وَ مِنْ أَرْجَى خَلْقِكَ لَكَ أَنَا يَا اللهُ وَ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ إِلاَّ وَ هُوَ وَاثِقٌ وَ مِنْ أَوْثَقِ خَلْقِكَ بِكَ أَنَا يَا اللهُ وَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ إِلاَّ وَ هُوَ لَكَ فِي حَاجَتِهِ مُعْتَمَدٌ وَ فِي طَلِبَتِهِ سَائِلٌ وَ مِنْ أَلْحَفِهِمْ سُؤَالاً لَكَ أَنَا وَ مِنْ أَشَدِّهِمْ اعْتِمَاداً لَكَ أَنَا، لاَِنِّي أَمْسَيْتُ شَدِيداً ثِقَتِي فِي طَلِبَتِي إِلَيْكَ وَ هِيَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا وَ سَمِّهَا فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ قَضَيْتَهَا قُضِيَتْ وَ إِنْ لَمْ تَقْضِهَا لَمْ تُقْضَ أَبَداً وَ قَدْ لَزِمَنِي مِنَ الْاَمْرِ مَا لاَ بُدَّ لِي مِنْهَا، فَلِذَلِكَ طَلَبْتُ إِلَيْكَ يَا مُنْفِذَ أَحْكَامِهِ بِإِمْضَائِهَا، صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَ آلِ مُحَمَّد وَ امْضِ قَضَاءَ حَاجَتِي هَذِهِ بِإِثْبَاتِهَا فِي غُيُوبِ الاِْجَابَةِ حَتَّى تَقْلِبَنِي بِهَا مُنْجِحاً حَيْثُ كَانَتْ تَغْلِبُ لِي فِيهَا أَهْوَاءُ جَمِيعِ عِبَادِكَ وَ امْنُنْ عَلَيَّ بِإِمْضَائِهَا وَ تَيْسِيرِهَا وَ نَجَاحِهَا فَيَسِّرْهَا لِي، فَإِنِّي مُضْطَرٌّ إِلَى قَضَائِهَا وَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ ذَلِكَ، فَاكْشِفْ مَا بِي مِنَ الضُّرِّ بِحَقِّكَ الَّذِي تَقْضِي بِهِ مَا تُرِيدُ. 

O Extinguisher of lights by His light, and O Preventer of sights from seeing Him, and O Bewilderer of hearts in His affair! Verily, You are Pure, Purifier, purifying by Your purity whomever You have purified thereby, and there is none more in need of Your purification of him than I, for my religion, my body, and my heart. So, in whatever state I have been, deviating from You in obedience and desire, then oblige me, even if I dislike the love of obeying You, by the right of the station of Your Majesty from You, until I attain the virtue of purity from You for all my affairs. My Lord, bless Mohammad and the family of Mohammad, and make what has been purified by Your purity upon my body a purification of goodness, until by which You purify from me what I conceal in my chest and hide within myself. And keep me, whether I love it or dislike it, upon that, and make my love following Your love, and occupy me with myself to the exclusion of all besides You with an occupation in which the work of obedience to You is lasting, and distract others from me for my safety from myself and from all of the created beings.

For indeed, when he says that, I oblige him with the love of my beloveds and the dislike of my enemies, and I suffice him with all that which suffices my righteous servants.
