اَللَّهُمَّ يَا مُفَتِّحَ الْأَبْوَابِ، يَا مُسَبِّبَ الْأَسْبَابِ، يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ وَالْأَبْصَارِ، يَا دَلِيلَ الْمُتَحَيِّرِينَ، يَا غِيَاثَ الْمُسْتَغِيثِينَ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ، وَفَوَّضْتُ أَمْرِى إِلَيْكَ يَا رَبِّ، وَلَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِىِّ الْعَظِيمِ، وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ أَجْمَعِينَ الطَّيِّبِينَ
