Salawat with Allah’s Beautiful Names: Ya Halim (the Forbearing)

This prayer is taken from Sayyidi Habib Umar bin Hafiz’s collection of prayers using Allah’s beautiful names in which he calls upon Allah by His beautiful names and then asks Him to bestow prayers upon His Beloved by those names. Finally, he asks Allah for a portion of those attributes which belong to Allah and which He has bestowed upon His Messenger ﷺ.

اللَّهُمَّ يا اللهُ يا حَلِيمُ صَلِّ على عَبْدِكَ و حَبِيبِكَ سَيِّدِنا مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الحَلِيم و على آلِهِ و صَحْبِهِ و سَلِّمْ تَسْلِيماً وارْزُقْنِي بِهِ حِلْماً و عِلْماً و إِيماناً و يَقِيناً

Allāhumma yā Allāhu yā Ḥalīmu ṣalli `alā `abdika wa ḥabībika sayyidinā Muḥammad an-Nabī al-ḥalīm wa `alā ālihi wa ṣaḥbihi wa sallim taslīman w’arzuqnī bihi ḥilman wa `ilman wa īmānan wa yaqīnā

O Allah, O Forbearing One, bestow abundant prayers and peace upon Your slave and beloved, our Master Muhammad, the forbearing Prophet and upon his Family and Companions, and through Him bless me with forbearance, knowledge, faith and certainty.
