In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

الْحَمْدُ للهِ الَّذِي تَلَطَّفَ بِعِبَادِهِ فَتَعَبَّدَهُمْ بِالنَّظَافَةِ،

Praise be to Allah, Who is kind to His servants and has commanded them to worship Him through cleanliness,

وَأَفَاضَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ تَزْكِيَةً لِسَرَائِرِهِمْ أَنْوَارَهُ وَأَلْطَافَهُ،

And Who has poured upon their hearts, as a purification for their inner selves, His lights and His graces,

وَأَعَدَّ لِظَوَاهِرِهِمْ تَطْهِيرًا لَهَا الْمَاءَ الْمَخْصُوصَ بِالرِّقَّةِ وَاللَّطَافَةِ،

And Who has prepared for their outward selves, as a purification for them, water specially endowed with delicacy and gentleness,

وَصَلَّى اللهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمُسْتَغْرِقِ بِنُورِ الْهُدَى أَطْرَافَ الْعَالَمِ وَأَكْنَافَهُ،

And may Allah send blessings upon the Prophet Muhammad, who immersed the corners and reaches of the world with the light of guidance,

وَعَلَى آلِهِ الطَّيِّبِينَ الطَّاهِرِينَ صَلَاةً تُنَجِّينَا بَرَكَاتُهَا يَوْمَ الْمَخَافَةِ، وَتَنْتَصِبُ جُنَّةً بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَ كُلِّ آفَةٍ.

And upon his good and pure family, a prayer whose blessings save us on the Day of Fear and stand as a shield between us and every affliction.
