Remembrance 1 from Chapter 91

Allāhumma-kfinī bi-ḥalālika ‘an ḥarāmik, wa aghninī bi-faḍlika ‘amman siwāk.

WE RELATE FROM the book of at-Tirmidhī from ‘Alī , who narrated that a slave who was buying his freedom came to him and said: “I am unable to pay the price for my freedom, so help me.” He said: “Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah taught me? Were your debts like mountains Allah would settle them for you. Say: O Allah, make what You have made lawful sufficient for me so that I need not what You have made unlawful; and make me independent of all but You by Your Generosity.” ^[1].At-Tirmidhī states that this is a ḥasan hadith.
