SERMON 223
Supplication
O' my Allah! preserve (the grace of) my face with
easiness of life and do not disgrace my countenance with destitution, lest I may have to
beg a livelihood from those who beg from Thee, try to seek the favour of Thy evil
creatures, engage myself in praising those who give to me, and be tempted in abusing those
who do not give to me, although behind all these Thou art the master of giving and
denying.
. . . Verily Thou over all things, art the
All-powerful. (Qur'an, 66:8)
