Dala'il al-Khayrat

O God! Bless him for whom the palm trunk wept and longed for when parted.

O God! Bless him whom the desert birds implored.

O God! Bless him from whose hand the pebbles glorified.

O God! Bless him from whom the gazelle sought intercession with the most eloquent speech.

O God! Bless him with whom the lizard spoke while in assembly with his distinguished companions.

O God! Bless him whom the stones greeted.

O God! Bless him to whom the trees prostrated.

O God! Bless him whose light brought forth the flowers.

O God! Bless him by whose baraka the fruits ripened.

O God! Bless him by whose wudu’ water the trees flourished green.

O God! Bless him to whose cloak the wild animals would cling when he walked the arid desert.

Imam al-Jazuli, Dala’il al-Khayrat
