Gleanings — Paragraph 268

Source (Arabic)

ي وصفت نفسک بالغنآء وعبادک بالفقر بقولک یا أیّها الّذین آمنوا أنتم الفقرآء إلی الله والله هو الغنيّ الحمید فلمّا اعترفت بفقري وغنائک ینبغي أن لا تجعلني محرومًا عنه إنّک أنت المهیمن العلیم الحکیم

Translation

Thou art He, O God, Who hath proclaimed Himself as the Lord of Wealth, and characterized all that serve Him as poor and needy. Even as Thou hast written: “O ye that believe! Ye are but paupers in need of God; but God is the All-Possessing, the All-Praised.” Having acknowledged my poverty, and recognized Thy wealth, suffer me not to be deprived of the glory of Thy riches. Thou art, verily, the Supreme Protector, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.
