Hadith 5:750
'Abdullah narrated to us, 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Umar narrated to me, Abu Mu'awiyah narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Ishaq al-Qurashi, from Sayyar Abu al-Hakam, from Abu Wa'il, who said: A man came to 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, and said: "O Commander of the Faithful, I have become unable to fulfill my *kitabah* (contract of manumission), so help me." 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, taught me? If you had a debt like the mountain of Sir in gold, Allah would pay it off for you." I said: "Yes." He said: "Say: 'O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful against Your prohibited, and enrich me by Your bounty over those other than You.'"
حدثنا عبد الله، حدثني أبو عبد الرحمن عبد الله بن عمر، حدثنا أبو معاوية، عن عبد الرحمن بن إسحاق القرشي، عن سيار أبي الحكم، عن أبي وائل، قال: أتى عليا رضي الله عنه رجل، فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين، إني عجزت عن مكاتبتي فأعني. فقال علي رضي الله عنه: ألا أعلمك كلمات علمنيهن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، لو كان عليك مثل جبل صير دنانير لاداه الله عنك، قلت: بلى. قال: قل: " اللهم اكفني بحلالك عن حرامك، وأغنني بفضلك عمن سواك "
