HADITH OF THE DAY

Burdened by debts and stress

Alī (may Allāh be pleased with him) narrated, that a mukatib (slave who had entered into a contract of manumission) came to him and said, “I am unable to pay off my manumission; please help me.” He said: “Shall I not teach you some words which Allāh’s Messenger (peace and blessings upon him) taught me? Recite the following prayer:
اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك وأغنني بفضلك عمن سواك
“O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted, so I have no need to take that which You have forbidden, and make me independent by means of Your bounty, so I do not depend on anyone besides You.”
“If you are burdened with debts which are equivalent to the mountain of Thabir, Allah will arrange means to pay them off for you.”
(Tirmidhi)
