HadeethTextAr: عن علي - رضي الله عنه-: أن مُكَاتَبًا جاءه فقال: إني عَجَزْتُ عن كتابتي فَأَعِنِّي، قال: ألا أعلمك كلمات عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ رسولُ الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لو كان عليك مثلَ جبلٍ دَيْنًا أَدَّاهُ الله عنك؟ قل: «اللهم اكْفِنِي بحلالك عن حرامك، وأَغْنِنِي بفضلك عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ». ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that a slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom, came to him and said: "I am unable to fulfill my obligation (of paying for my freedom to my master), so help me." ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Shall I not teach you some words which the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) taught me, (it will surely prove so useful) that if you have a debt as large as a mountain, Allah will surely pay it on your behalf? Say: O Allah, Grant me enough of what You make lawful so that I may cast aside what You make unlawful, and bestow upon me Your favor so that I may dispense with all but You)."
