 SERMON 77

O’ my Alláh! Forgive me what Thou knows about me more than I do. If I return (to the sins) Thou return to forgiveness. My Alláh forgive me what I had promised to myself but Thou didst not find its fulfillment with me. My Alláh forgive me that with what I sought nearness to Thee with my tongue but my heart opposed and did not perform it. My Alláh forgive me winking of the eye, vile utterances, desires of the heart and errors of speech.
