اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ السَّائِلِينَ عَلَيْكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ بِحَقِّ مَمْشَايَ هَذَا فَإِنِّي لَمْ أَخْرُجْ أَشَرًا وَلَا بَطَرًا وَلَا رِيَاءً وَلَا سُمْعَةً وَخَرَجْتُ اتِّقَاءَ سَخَطِكَ وَابْتِغَاءَ مَرْضَاتِكَ فَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تُعِيذَنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي ذُنُوبِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allah ! I beg You, through the intermediary of those who
turn to You in dua, and I beg You, through the intermediary of this
walking of mine – for indeed I have neither come out due to pride,
nor boastfulness, nor to show off, nor to impress people. I have come
out fearing Your anger and seeking Your pleasure. Thus, I beg You
to save me from the fire (of Jahannum) and to forgive my sins,
indeed only You can forgive sins. (Ibn Majah)
