بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الرَّحْمَٰنِ الرَّحِيمِ

اَللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أُقَدِّمُ إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ
كُلِّ نَفَسٍ وَلَمْحَةٍ وَلَحْظَةٍ وَخَطْرَةٍ
وَطَرْفَةٍ يَطْرِفُ بِهَا أَهْلُ السَّمَوَاتِ
وَالأَرْضِ، وَكُلِّ شَيْءٍ هُوَ فِي
عِلْمِكَ كَائِنٌ أَوْ قَدْ كَانَ أُقَدِّمُ
إِلَيْكَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ ذَلِكَ كُلِّهِ

In the name of Allah, the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful. O Allah I present to You in front of every breath, every second, every instant, every thought, every blinking of the eye of the peoples of the heavens and the earth, and everything which is existent in Your knowledge or was existent, I present to You in front of all of this(*):

وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِه

In every instant forever equal to the number of His created things, to His satisfaction, to the weight of His throne and the amount of ink used by His words.

This prayer upon the Prophet ﷺ is also to be read ten times:

اَللّٰهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ مَا
اتَّصَلَتِ العُيُونُ بِالنَّظَرِ وَتَزَخْرَفَتِ
الأَرَضُنَ بِالْمَطَر، وَحَجَّ حَاجٌّ
وَاعْتَمَر وَلَبَّى وَحَلَقَ وَنَحَرَ وَطَافَ
بِالبَيْتِ العَتِيقِ وَقَبَّلَ الحَجَر وَعَلَى
آلِهِ وَصَحْبِهِ وَسَلِّمْ

O Allah, bestow prayers and peace upon our Master Muhammad as much as the eyes see, as much as the earth becomes verdant after rainfall, the number of people making Hajj and `Umrah, saying ‘labbayk’, and shaving their heads, making ṭawāf around the Ancient House and kissing the Stone and upon his Family and Companions.

Finish with:

فِي كُلِّ لَحْظَةٍ أَبَدًا مِثْلَ ذَلِك
عَدَدَ خَلْقِكَ وَرِضَى نَفْسِكَ
وَزِنَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَمِدَادَ كَلِمَاتِك

In every instant forever equal to the number of Your created things, to Your satisfaction, to the weight of Your throne and the amount of ink used by Your words.

(*) What is meant by this is: “I present this as a defence from the evil of any of the things mentioned and seeking all the good that is contained in them,” and Allah knows best. This is only read at the beginning of the żikr, what is after it is to be read ten times.
