نامه 15: راز و نیاز با خدا هنگام روبرو شدن با دشمن · Letter 15

و من دعاء له (عليه السلام)

كان (عليه السلام) يقول إذا لقي العدو محاربا

اللَّهُمَّ إِلَيْكَ أَفْضَتِ الْقُلُوبُ وَ مُدَّتِ الْأَعْنَاقُ وَ شَخَصَتِ الْأَبْصَارُ وَ نُقِلَتِ الْأَقْدَامُ وَ أُنْضِيَتِ الْأَبْدَانُ اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ صَرَّحَ مَكْنُونُ الشَّنَآنِ وَ جَاشَتْ مَرَاجِلُ الْأَضْغَانِ اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّا نَشْكُو إِلَيْكَ غَيْبَةَ نَبِيِّنَا وَ كَثْرَةَ عَدُوِّنَا وَ تَشَتُّتَ أَهْوَائِنَا رَبَّنَا افْتَحْ بَيْنَنا وَ بَيْنَ قَوْمِنا بِالْحَقِّ وَ أَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْفاتِحِينَ.

O My Allah! Hearts are getting drawn to You, necks are stretching (towards You), eyes are fixed (on You), steps are in motion and bodies have turned lean. O My Allah! Hidden animosity has become manifest and the pots of malice are boiling. O My Allah! We complain to You of the absence of our Prophet, the numerousness of our enemy and the diffusion of our passions. Our Lord! Decide between us and between our people with truth, and You are the Best of Deciders. (Qur'an, 7:89).
