اللّهُمّ صَلّ عَلى مُحَمّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمّدٍ الفـُـلـْـكِ الجَارِيَةِ فِي
اللُّجَجِ الغَامِرَةِ يَأمَنُ مَن رَكِبَهَا وَيَغــْرَقُ مَن تَـرَكَهَا
المـُـتـَـقـَدِمُ لَهُمْ مَارِقٌ وَالمُـتـَـأخِرُ عَنـْهُم زَاهِقٌ
واللاّزِمُ لَهُمْ لاحِقٌ
اَللّـهُمَّ الْعَنْ اَوَّلَ ظالِم ظَلَمَ حَقَّ مُحَمَّد وَآلِ مُحَمَّد
وَآخِرَ تابِع لَهُ عَلى ذلِكَ
قال علي (ع ) نْسُبَنَّ الاْسْلاَمَ نِسْبَةً لَمْ يَنسُبْهَا أَحَدٌ قَبْلِي:
الاْسْلاَمُ هُوَ التَّسْلِيمُ، وَالتَّسْلِيمُ هُوَ الْيَقِينُ، وَالْيَقِينُ
هُوَ التَّصْدِيقُ، وَالتَّصْدِيقُ هُوَ الاْقْرَارُ، وَالاْقْرَارُ هُوَ
الاْدَاءُ، وَالاْدَاءُ هَوَ الْعَمَلُ
ان أمرنا صعب مستصعب, لايحمله الا عبد مؤمن امتحن الله قلبه للايمان, ولايعي
حديثنا الا صدور أمينة و أحلام رزينة
