Jami at-Tirmidhi 3563 (Book 48, Hadith 194) #29212
The Power of Prayer

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of prayer and how it can help us to be independent from all those besides Allah.

Ali may Allah be pleased with him narrated: that a Mukatib came to him and said: "Indeed I am not capable of my Kitabah so aid me". He said: "Should I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah taught me? If you had a debt upon you similar to the mountain of Sir, Allah would fulfill it for you. He said: 'Say: O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful against Your prohibited, and make me independent of all those besides You (Allahummakfini biḥalalika 'an ḥaramika, wa aghnini bi faḍlika 'amman siwaka).’"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَسَّانَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، رضى الله عنه أَنَّ مُكَاتَبًا، جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي قَدْ عَجَزْتُ عَنْ كِتَابَتِي فَأَعِنِّي ‏.‏ قَالَ أَلاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِثْلُ جَبَلِ صِيرٍ دَيْنًا أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْكَ قَالَ ‏ "‏ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلاَلِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of prayer and how it can help us to become independent from all those besides Allah. Ali [may Allah be pleased with him] narrated that a Mukatib came to him asking for help in his Kitabah, so he taught him words that the Messenger of Allah taught him. He said if one has a debt similar to the mountain of Sir, then they should say “O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful against Your prohibited, and make me independent of all those besides You”. Through this prayer we are asking for guidance on what is lawful and prohibited according to Islam as well as independence from anyone else other than God. This teaches us that through our faith in God we can achieve anything no matter how difficult it may seem.
