[Machine] Mu'tarif said, "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of the ruler and the evil that their pens produce. I seek refuge in You that I may say a word of obedience to You in which Your satisfaction is sought, seeking in it anything other than Your pleasure. I seek refuge in You that I may scheme anything that displeases You with regards to my affairs. I seek refuge in You that anyone should rejoice in what You have taught me from me. I seek refuge in You that I may become a lesson for others. I seek refuge in You that I may seek assistance in any of Your disobediences that afflict me."
