دُعَاؤُهُ إِذَا قُتِّرَ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ
Imam Zainul Abideen(as) son of Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as)'s supplication 29 His Supplication when provision was stinted

أَللَّهُمَّ إنَّكَ ابْتَلَيْتَنَا فِي أَرْزَاقِنَا بِسُوءِ الظَّنِّ
al-laahum-ma in-naka abtalay-tanaa feee ar-zaaqinaa bisooo-iz'-z'an
1.O God, You hast tried us with distrust in our provisions

وَفِي آجَالِنَا بِطُولِ الأمَلِ
wa feee aaajaalinaa bit'oolil-amal
2.and the expectation of long lives,

حَتَّى الْتَمَسْنَا أَرْزَاقَكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ الْمَرْزُوقِينَ،
ha't-taal-tamas-naaa ar-zaaqaka min i'ndil-mar-zooqeen
3.until we begged for provisions from those who are provided

وَطَمِعْنَا بِآمَالِنَا فِي أَعْمَارِ الْمُعَمَّرِينَ.
wa t'amia'-naa biaamaalinaa feee aa'-maaril-mua'm-mareen
4.and craved in our expectations the life-spans of the long-lived!

فَصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّد وَآلِهِ،
fas'al-li a'laa muh'am-madiw-wa aaalih
5.So bless Muhammad and his Household,

وَهَبْ لَنَا يَقِيناً صَادِقاً تَكْفِينا بِهِ مِنْ مَؤونَةِ الطَّلَبِ،
wa hab lanaa yaqeenana s'aadiqana tak-feenaa bihee mim-ma-oonatit'-t'alab
6.give us a true certainty that will suffice us the burden of seeking,

وَأَلْهِمْنَا ثِقَةً خَالِصَةً تُعْفِينَا بِهَا مِنْ شِدَّةِ النَّصَبِ،
wa al-him-naa thiqatan khaalis'atan tua'-feenaa bihaa min shid-datin-nas'ab
7.and inspire us with a sincere trust that will release us from the hardship of exertion!

وَاجْعَلْ مَا صَرَّحتَ بِهِ مِنْ عِدَتِكَ فِي وَحْيِكَ،
waj-a'l maa s'ar-rah'-ta bihee min i'datika fee wah'-yika
8.Let Your clear promise in Your Revelation

وَأَتْبَعْتَهُ مِنْ قَسَمِكَ فِي كِتَابِكَ
wa at-baa'-tahoo min qasamika fee kitaabik
9.which You hast followed in Your Book with Your oath

قَاطِعاً لاهْتِمَامِنَا بِالرِّزْقِ الَّـذِيْ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِهِ
qaat'ia'l-liah-timaaminaa bir-riz-qil-lad'ee takaf-fal-ta bih
10.cut off our worry about the provision for which You hast made Yourself responsible

وَحَسْمَاً لِلاشْتِغَالِ بِمَا ضَمِنْتَ الْكِفَايَةَ لَهُ،
wa h'as-mal-liliash-tighaali bimaa z''amintal-kifaayata lah
11.and sever our occupation with everything whose sufficiency You hast guaranteed!

فَقُلْتَ وَقَوْلُكَ الْحَقُّ الاصْـدَقُ
faqul-ta wa qaw-lukal-h'aq-qul-as'-daq
12.For You hast said - and Your word is the most truthful truth

وَأَقْسَمْتَ وَقَسَمُكَ الأَبَرُّ الأَوْفى:
wa aq-sam-ta waqasamukal-abar-rul-aw-faa:
13.and You hast sworn - and Your oath is the most kept and fulfilled

( وَفِي السَّمَاءِ رِزْقُكُمْ وَمَا تُوعَدُونَ )
(wafees-samaaa-i riz-qukum wa maa tooa'doon).
14."In the heaven are your provision and everything you are promised" (51:22)!

ثُمَّ قُلْتَ: ( فَوَرَبِّ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ إنَّهُ لَحَقٌّ مِثْلَ مَا أَنَّكُمْ تَنْطِقُوْنَ ).
thum-ma qul-ta: (fawarab-bis-samaaa-i wal-ar-z''i in-nahoo lah'aq-qu mith-la maaa an-nakum tant'iqoon)
15.And then You hast said, "So by the Lord of heaven and earth, it is as surely true as that you have speech" (51:23)!
