اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَتَوَلَّنِي فِي جِيرَانِي وَمَوَالِيَّ الْعَارِفِينَ بِحَقِّنَا، وَالْمُنَابِذِينَ لِاَعْدَائِنَا بِاَفْضَلِ وَلَايَتِكَ

O God, bless Muhammad and his Household and attend to me with Thy best attending in my neighbours and friends who recognize our right and war against our enemies!
وَوَفِّقْهُمْ لِاِقَامَةِ سُنَّتِكَ، وَالْاَخْذِ بِمَحَاسِنِ اَدَبِكَ فِي اِرْفَاقِ ضَعِيفِهِمْ، وَسَدِّ خَلَّتِهِمْ، وَعِيَادَةِ مَرِيضِهِمْ، وَهِدَايَةِ مُسْتَرْشِدِهِمْ، وَمُنَاصَحَةِ مُسْتَشِيرِهِمْ، وَتَعَهُّدِ قَادِمِهِمْ، وَكِتْمَانِ اَسْرَارِهِمْ، وَسَتْرِ عَوْرَاتِهِمْ، وَنُصْرَةِ مَظْلُومِهِمْ، وَحُسْنِ مُوَاسَاتِهِمْ بِالْمَاعُونِ، وَالْعَوْدِ عَلَيْهِمْ بِالْجِدَةِ وَالْاِفْضَالِ، وَاِعْطَاءِ مَا يَجِبُ لَهُمْ قَبْلَ السُّؤَالِ

Give [my neighbours and friends] success in performing Thy prescriptions and taking on the beauties of Thy courtesy through acting gently with their weak, remedying their lacks, visiting their sick, guiding their seeker of right guidance, giving good counsel to their seeker of advice, attending to the one among them who returns from travel, hiding their secrets, covering over their shameful things, helping their wronged, sharing kindly with them in goods, turning toward them with wealth and bestowal of bounty, and giving what is due to them before they ask!
وَاجْعَلْنِي اللَّهُمَّ اَجْزِي بِالْاِحْسَانِ مُسِيئَهُمْ، وَاُعْرِضُ بِالتَّجَاوُزِ عَنْ ظَالِمِهِمْ، وَاَسْتَعْمِلُ حُسْنَ الظَّنِّ فِي كَافَّتِهِمْ، وَاَتَوَلَّى بِالْبِرِّ عَامَّتَهُمْ، وَاَغُضُّ بَصَرِي عَنْهُمْ عِفَّةً، وَاُلِينُ جَانِبِي لَهُمْ تَوَاضُعاً، وَاَرِقُّ عَلَى اَهْلِ الْبَلَاءِ مِنْهُمْ رَحْمَةً، وَاُسِرُّ لَهُمْ بِالْغَيْبِ مَوَدَّةً، وَاُحِبُّ بَقَاءَ النِّعْمَةِ عِنْدَهُمْ نُصْحاً، وَاُوجِبُ لَهُمْ مَا اُوجِبُ لِحَامَّتِي، وَاَرْعَى لَهُمْ مَا اَرْعَى لِخَاصَّتِي

Let me, O God, repay their evildoer with good-doing, turn away from their wrongdoer with forbearance, have a good opinion of every one of them, attend to all of them with devotion, lower my eyes before them in continence, make mild my side toward them in humility, be tender toward the afflicted among them in mercy, make them happy in absence through affection, love that they continue to receive favour through good will, grant them what I grant my next of kin, and observe for them what I observe for my special friends!
اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهٖ، وَارْزُقْنِي مِثْلَ ذٰلِكَ مِنْهُمْ، وَاجْعَلْ لِي اَوْفَى الْحُظُوظِ فِيمَا عِنْدَهُمْ، وَزِدْهُمْ بَصِيرَةً فِي حَقِّي، وَمَعْرِفَةً بِفَضْلِي حَتَّى يَسْعَدُوا بِي وَاَسْعَدَ بِهِمْ، آمِينَ رَبَّ الْعَالَمِينَ

O God, bless Muhammad and his Household, provide me the like of that from them, appoint for me the fullest share of what is with them, increase them in insight toward my right and knowledge of my excellence so that they will be fortunate through me and I fortunate through them! Amen, Lord of the worlds!
