Sermon (76): Supplicatory Words of the Commander of the Faithful

O Allah! Forgive those things which You know better than I. If I turn to sin, then turn to me with Your forgiveness. O Lord! That good deed which I promised myself to perform, but You did not find it fulfilled, forgive that too. My Allah! Those words that came from my tongue with which I sought Your nearness, but my heart did not agree with them, overlook those too. O Sustainer! Forgive the mocking glances of the eyes, improper words, evil desires of the heart, and the idle talk of the tongue.
