كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ أُعْطِيَ دَعْوَةً وَاحِدَةً

Every prophet was given a single supplication,

مُسْتَجَابَةً لَا مَحَالَةَ

answered without doubt.

وَقَدِ اسْتَعْمَلَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ تِلْكَ الدَّعْوَةَ فِي حَيَاتِهِ

And every prophet has used that supplication in his lifetime.

فَقَدْ دَعَا سُلَيْمَانُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ

For Solomon, peace be upon him, prayed

بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ: "رَبِّ اغْفِرْ لِي"

with this supplication: "My Lord, forgive me"

"وَهَبْ لِي مُلْكًا لَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ مِنْ بَعْدِي"

"and grant me a kingdom that will not belong to anyone after me;"

"إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْوَهَّابُ"

"indeed, You are the Bestower."

فَاسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ، وَآتَاهُ مُلْكًا لَا نَظِيرَ لَهُ

So Allah answered him and gave him a kingdom without equal.

وَزَكَرِيَّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ

And Zechariah, peace be upon him,

فَقَدْ كَانَ قَلِقًا مِنَ الْمَوَالِي مِنْ بَعْدِهِ

was worried about the successors after him,
