Musnad Ahmad 1319 (Book 5, Hadith 721) #34947
The Power of Prayer for Independence

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the power of prayer and how it can help us to be independent of anyone other than Allah.

It was narrated that Abu Wa'il said: A man came to 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) and said: O Ameer al-Mu'mineen, I am unable to pay off my contract of manumission; help me, 'Ali (رضي الله عنه) said: Shall I not tell you some words that the Messenger of Allah taught me, then if you owe debts as great as Mount Seer in dinars, Allah will pay it off for you? He said: Yes indeed. He said: Say: O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted so that I have no need of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of anyone other than You by Your grace.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْد اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ الْقُرَشِيِّ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ أَبِي الْحَكَمِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، قَالَ أَتَى عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِنِّي عَجَزْتُ عَنْ مُكَاتَبَتِي فَأَعِنِّي فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِثْلُ جَبَلِ صِيرٍ دَنَانِيرَ لَأَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْكَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ قُلْ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the power of prayer and how it can help us to be independent from anyone other than Allah. It was narrated by Abu Wa'il that a man came to 'Ali and asked for help in paying off his contract of manumission. 'Ali then told him some words that the Messenger of Allah taught him, which if said with sincerity, would lead to Allah paying off any debts as great as Mount Seer in dinars. The words were "O Allah, suffice me with what You have permitted so that I have no need of what You have forbidden, and make me independent of anyone other than You by Your grace." These words are a powerful reminder that we should always turn to Allah in times when we feel helpless or overwhelmed by our circumstances. We should trust in His mercy and grace, knowing that He will provide us with whatever we need if we sincerely ask Him for it.
