٥ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ يَرْفَعُهُ قَالَ كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) إِذَا صَعِدَ الصَّفَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللهمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ قَطُّ فَإِنْ عُدْتُ فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ اللهمَّ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ تَرْحَمْنِي وَإِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي وَأَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ فَيَا مَنْ أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِهِ ارْحَمْنِي اللهمَّ لا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ تُعَذِّبْنِي وَلَمْ تَظْلِمْنِي أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَّقِي عَدْلَكَ وَلا أَخَافُ جَوْرَكَ فَيَا مَنْ هُوَ عَدْلٌ لا يَجُورُ ارْحَمْنِي.
5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn Hadid from Ali ibn al-Nu’man in a marfu‘ manner the following: “’Amir al-Mu’minin , when climbing on al-Safa’, would face the Ka‘bah, raise his hands and then say, ‘O Allah, forgive my every sin that I have committed. If I will return to sin, return to me with forgiveness, You are Forgiving and Merciful. O Allah, do for me what is worthy of You to do for me; if You do for me what is worthy of You to do for me, You will have mercy on me; but if You punish me, You do not need to do so. I however, need Your mercy. O the One whose mercy I need, grant me kindness and mercy. O Allah, do not do to me what is worthy of me; if You do for me what is worthy of me, You will punish me and in doing so You will not be doing any injustice to me. I am anxious of Your justice but I am not afraid of Your injustice. So, O the One who is just and never does injustice to anyone, be kind and merciful to me.’”
