Hadith 21:223

Muhammad ibn Abi Ubaydah narrated to us, he said: Al-A’mash narrated to us, from Abu Salih, from Abu Hurayrah, who said: Fatimah came to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, asking him for a servant. He said to her, "I do not have what I can give you." So she returned. After that, he came to her and said, "Is that which you asked for more beloved to you, or that which is better than it?" Ali said to her, "Say: 'Nay, rather that which is better than it.'" So she said that. He then said, "Say: 'O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Great Throne, our Lord and Lord of everything, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Great Qur'an. You are the First, so there is nothing before You; and You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; and You are the Manifest (Al-Zahir), so there is nothing above You; and You are the Hidden (Al-Batin), so there is nothing beneath You. Discharge the debt for us and enrich us from poverty.'"

حدثنا محمد بن أبي عبيدة قال حدثنا الأعمش عن أبي صالح عن أبي هريرة قال أتت فاطمة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تسأله خادما فقال لها ما عندي ما أعطيك فرجعت فأتاها بعد ذلك فقال الذي سألت أحب إليك أم ما هو خير منه فقال لها علي قولي لا بل ما هو خير منه فقالت فقال قولي اللهم رب السماوات السبع ورب العرش العظيم ربنا ورب كل شيء منزل التوراة والإنجيل والقرآن العظيم أنت الأول فليس قبلك شيء وأنت الآخر فليس بعدك شيء وأنت الظاهر فليس فوقك شيء وأنت الباطن فليس دونك شيء اقض عنا الدين وأغننا من الفقر
