Muhammad al-Jazuli in his Dala'il al-Khayrat wrote:
Blessed are those who earn an honest living, whose hearts are pure, whose actions are noble, and from whom no one need fear any evil. [Sulus calligraphy]
God, protect me from the evil of discord and absolve me from all tests and purify me from within and cleanse my heart from hatred and envy and do not allow anyone to oppress me. Hearts were guided through him after having entered into discord and sin, and he gladdened with evident signs with enlightening laws and illuminating Islam. [Nesih calligraphy]
