THE NIYYAH (INTENTION)
The kitab begins with the following niyyah.
Allahumma innee nawaytu bi-Salaatee
'Alan Nabiyyi Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam
Imtithaalan Li-Amrika wa tasdeeqan li Nabiyyika
Muhammad-in Sallallahu 'alaihi wa Sallam
Wa mahabbatan feehi wa shawqan ilayhi
Wa ta'zeeman liqadrihi wa likawnihi ahlan lidhaalika
Fataqabbalhaa minnee Bi Fadhlika wa Ihsaanika
Wa azil hijaabal gaflati 'an qalbee
Waj'alnee min 'ibaadikas-saaliheen.
O Allah! I make the intention to invoke blessings
on the Prophet, may Allah's blessings and peace be upon him,
in compliance with Your Order and as an attestation of
the Prophet sent by You, our master Muhammad,
may Your blessings and peace be upon him;
in his love and in my yearning for him
and with the respect due to him as he merits it.
Accept it from me by Your Grace and Kindness
and remove the veil of negligence from my heart
and make me among one of Your righteous servants.
