أَكْرَمَكَ بِكَرَامَاتٍ ثَلَاثٍ جَعَلَكَ ذَاكِرًا لَهُ وَلَوْلَا فَضْلُهُ لَمْ تَكُنْ أَهْلًا لِجَرَيَانِ ذِكْرِهِ عَلَيْكَ وَجَعَلَكَ مَذْكُورًا بِهِ اِذْ حَقَّقَ نِسْبَتَهُ لَدَيْكَ وَجَعَلَكَ مَذْكُورًا عِنْدَهُ فَتَمَّمَ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ

He has honoured you with three honours. He made you one who remembers Him; and were it not for His bounty, you would not have been worthy to have His remembrance flow upon you. He made you one remembered through Him, since He confirmed His relation to you. And He made you one remembered in His presence, and so He completed His blessing upon you.
