كَانَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ع إِذَا صَعِدَ الصَّفَا اسْتَقْبَلَ الْكَعْبَةَ ثُمَّ رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ- اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي كُلَّ ذَنْبٍ أَذْنَبْتُهُ قَطُّ[1] فَإِنْ عُدْتُ فَعُدْ عَلَيَّ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِيمُ اللَّهُمَّ افْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنْتَ أَهْلُهُ تَرْحَمْنِي وَ إِنْ تُعَذِّبْنِي فَأَنْتَ غَنِيٌّ عَنْ عَذَابِي وَ أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِكَ فَيَا مَنْ أَنَا مُحْتَاجٌ إِلَى رَحْمَتِهِ ارْحَمْنِي اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْعَلْ بِي مَا أَنَا أَهْلُهُ تُعَذِّبْنِي وَ لَمْ تَظْلِمْنِي أَصْبَحْتُ أَتَّقِي عَدْلَكَ وَ لَا أَخَافُ جَوْرَكَ فَيَا مَنْ هُوَ عَدْلٌ لَا يَجُورُ ارْحَمْنِي.

5. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ali ibn Hadid from Ali ibn al-Nu’man in a marfu‘ manner the following: “’Amir al-Mu’minin (a.s.), when climbing on al-Safa’, would face the Ka‘bah, raise his hands and then say, ‘O Allah, forgive my every sin that I have committed. If I will return to sin, return to me with forgiveness, You are Forgiving and Merciful. O Allah, do for me what is worthy of You to do for me; if You do for me what is worthy of You to do for me, You will have mercy on me; but if You punish me, You do not need to do so. I however, need Your mercy. O the One whose mercy I need, grant me kindness and mercy. O Allah, do not do to me what is worthy of me; if You do for me what is worthy of me, You will punish me and in doing so You will not be doing any injustice to me. I am anxious of Your justice but I am not afraid of Your injustice. So, O the One who is just and never does injustice to anyone, be kind and merciful to me.’”
