اللَّهُمَّ وَأَيُّمَا مُسْلِمٍ أَهَمَّهُ أَمْرُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَحْزَنَهُ تَحَزُّبُ أَهْلِ الشِّرْكِ عَلَيْهِمْ فَنَوَى غَزْواً، أَوْ هَمَّ بِجِهَادٍ فَقَعَدَ بِهِ ضَعْفٌ، أَوْ أَبْطَأَتْ بِهِ فَاقَةٌ، أَوْ أَخَّرَهُ عَنْهُ حَادِثٌ، أَوْ عَرَضَ لَهُ دُونَ إِرَادَتِهِ مَانِعٌ فَاكْتُبِ اسْمَهُ فِي الْعَابِدِينَ، وَأَوْجِبْ لَهُ ثَوَابَ الْمُجَاهِدِينَ، وَاجْعَلْهُ فِي نِظَامِ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ

O God, and if the affair of Islam should worry a Muslim and the alliance of the idolaters' against Islam should grieve him, so that he has the intention to go to war and is about to enter the struggle, but frailty keeps him seated, neediness keeps him waiting, a mishap delays him, or an obstruction prevents him from his wish, write his name among the worshipers, make incumbent for him the reward of the strugglers, and place him among the ranks of the martyrs and the righteous!

Sahifa Sajjadiyyah, Prayer 27: His Supplication for the People of the Frontiers, Verse 18
