This note precedes the original edition
of the litany in Arabic

This is our Noble Wird. For one who wishes it and seeks
it, it is a means to all goodness and a shield against all evil.
One who wishes to recite it regularly should do so with
permission from the Shaykh or from a muqaddim to whom the
Shaykh has given permission to convey this litany. May Allah
bring together in the servant the revealed law (al-sharϢa) and
Spiritual Truth (al-haqÏqah).
The formulas of blessing and seeking forgiveness
that follow called the Al-¢A·imiyya and Istighf¥r
al-KabÏr are attributed to SÏdÏ A^med Ibn IdrÏs,
may Allah be pleased with him, a Moroccan
shaykh in the lineage of SÏdÏ ¢Abd al ¢AzÏz
Dabbagh, who died in Yemen in /.
These were not part of the original Wird but
were added by the present Shaykh.
