O God, and if the affair of Islam should worry a Muslim and the alliance of the idolaters' against Islam should grieve him, so that he has the intention to go to war and is about to enter the struggle, but frailty keeps him seated, neediness keeps him waiting, a mishap delays him, or an obstruction prevents him from his wish, write his name among the worshipers, make incumbent for him the reward of the strugglers, and place him among the ranks of the martyrs and the righteous!

اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ عَبْدِكَ وَرَسُولِكَ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، صَلَاةً عَالِيَةً عَلَى الصَّلَوَاتِ، مُشْرِفَةً فَوْقَ التَّحِيَّاتِ، صَلَاةً لَا يَنْتَهِي اَمَدُهَا، وَلَا يَنْقَطِعُ عَدَدُهَا كَاَتَمِّ مَا مَضَى مِنْ صَلَوَاتِكَ عَلَى اَحَدٍ مِنْ اَوْلِيَائِكَ، اِنَّكَ الْمَنَّانُ الْحَمِيدُ الْمُبْدِئُ الْمُعِيدُ الْفَعَّالُ لِمَا تُرِيدُ

O God, bless Muhammad, Thy slave and Thy messenger, and the Household of Muhammad, with a blessing high above all other blessings, towering beyond all other salutations, a blessing whose end is never reached and whose number is never cut off, like the most perfect of Thy blessings that has passed to any one of Thy friends! Thou art All-kind, Praiseworthy, the Originator who takes back again, Accomplisher of what Thou desirest.
