The Prophet said to the sick man: “Say thus:––‘O Thou that makest easy that which is hard,
آتنا فی دار دنیانا حسن ** آتنا فی دار عقبانا حسن

راه را بر ما چو بستان کن لطیف ** منزل ما خود تو باشی ای شریف
Make the way agreeable to us as a garden: Thou indeed, O Glorious One, art our goal.’”

مومن و کافر بر او یابد گذار ** ما ندیدیم اندر این ره دود و نار2555
