A FAMOUS DUA FOR SUSTENANCE
Five in number, the supplicatory prayers for sustenance are as follows:
First: Mu’awiyah ibn ‘Ammar has reported the following: I once asked Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) to teach me a supplicatory prayer for more sustenance. He therefore taught me a supplicatory prayer that I have never seen more effective than it. It is the following:
اَللّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنى مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْواسِعِ الْحَلالِ الطَّيِّبِ رِزْقاً واسِعاً حَلالاً طَيِّباً بَلاغاً لِلدُّنْيا وَالاْخِرَةِ صَبّاً صَبّاً هَنيَّئاً مَري ئاً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ وَلا مَنٍّ مِنْ اَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ اِلا سَعَةً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْواسِعِ فَاِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَاسْئَلُوا اللّٰهَ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَمِنْ فَضْلِكَ اَسْئَلُ وَ مِنْ عَطِيَّتِكَ اَسْئَلُ وَ مِنْ يَدِكَ الْمَلاْ اَسْئَلُ
Second: Imam al-Baqir (‘a) is reported to have said to Zayd al-Shahham: For sustenance, you may say the following supplicatory prayer in the obligatory prayer while you are in the position of prostration:
يا خَيْرَ الْمَسْئُولينَ وَ يا خَيْرَ الْمُعْطينَ اُرْزُقْنى وَارْزُقْ عِيالى مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فَاِنَّكَ ذُوالْفَضْلِ الْعَظيمِ
Third: Abu-Basir is reported to have said: I complained to Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) about poverty and asked him to teach me a supplicatory prayer for sustenance. He therefore taught me a supplicatory prayer after which I have never needed anything. Precisely, the Imam (‘a) instructed me to say the following supplicatory prayer in the Night Prayer while I am in the position of prostration:
يا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَ يا خَيْرَ مَسْئُولٍ وَ يا اَوْسَعَ مَنْ اَعْطى وَ يا خَيْرَ مُرْتَجىً اُرْزُقْنى وَ اَوسِعْ عَلَىَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ وَ سَبِّبْ لى رِزْقاً مِنْ قِبَلِكَ اِنَّكَ عَلى كُلِّ شَيْئٍ قَديرٌ
Referring to the same supplicatory prayer, Shaykh al-Tusi, in his book of Misbah al-Mutahajjid, has mentioned that this supplicatory prayer may be said in the second prostration of the eighth unit of the Night Prayer.
Fourth: The Holy Prophet (s) is reported to have instructed that this supplicatory prayer might be said for asking for sustenance:
يا رازِقَ الْمُقِلّينَ وَ يا راحِمَ الْمَساكينَ وَ يا وَلِىَّ الْمُؤْمِنينَ وَ يا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتينَ صَلِّ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَارْزُقْنى وَ عافِنى وَ اكْفِنى ما اَهَمَّنى
Fifth: Reporting this supplicatory prayer for seeking sustenance from Imam al-Sadiq (‘a), Abu-Basir added that Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) ascribed this prayer to Imam ‘Ali ibn al-Husayn (‘a):
اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَسْئَلُكَ حُسْنَ الْمَعيشَةِ مَعيشَةً اَتَقَوّى بِها عَلى جَميعِ حَوآئِجى وَ اَتَوَصَّلُ بِها فِى الْحَيوةِ اِلى آخِرَتى مِنْ غَيْرِ اَنْ تُتْرِفَنى فيها فَاَطْغى اَوْ تُقَتِّرَ بِها عَلَىَّ فَاَشْقى اَوْسِعْ عَلَىَّ مِنْ حَلالِ رِزْقِكَ وَ اَفْضِلْ عَلَىَّ مِنْ سَيْبِ فَضْلِكَ نِعْمَةً مِنْكَ سابِغَةً وَ عَطآءً غَيْرَ مَمْنُونٍ ثُمَّ لاتَشْغَلْنى عَنْ شُكْرِ نِعْمَتِكَ بِاِكْثارٍ مِنْها تُلْهينى بَهْجَتُهُ وَ تَفْتِنُنى زَهَراتُ زَهْوَتِهِ وَلا بِاِقْلالٍ عَلَىَّ مِنْها يَقْصُرُ بِعَمَلى كَدُّهُ وَ يَمْلاَُ صَدْرى هَمُّهُ اَعْطِنى مِنْ ذلِكَ يا اِلهى غِنىً عَنْ شِرارِ خَلْقِكَ وَ بَلاغاً اَنالُ بِهِ رِضْوانَكَ وَ اَعُوذُ بِكَ يا اِلهى مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيا وَ شَرِّ ما فيها وَ لاتَجْعَلْ عَلَىَّ الدُّنْيا سِجْناً وَلافِراقَها عَلَىَّ حُزْناً اَخْرِجْنى مِنْ فِتْنَتِها مَرْضِيّاً عَنّى مَقْبُولاً فيها عَمَلى اِلى دارِ الْحَيَوانِ وَ مَساكِنِ الاَْخْيارِ، وَ اَبْدِلْنى بِالدُّنْيَا الْفانِيَةِ نَعيمَ الدّارِ الْباقِيَةِ اَللّهُمَّ اِنّى اَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ اَزْلِها وَ زِلْزالِها وَ مِنْ سَطَواتِ شَياطينِها وَ سَلاطينِها وَ نَكالِها وَ مِنْ بَغْىِ مَنْ بَغى عَلَىَّ فيها اَللّهُمَّ مَنْ كادَنى فَكِدْهُ وَ مَنْ اَرادَنى فَاَرِدْهُ وَ فُلَّ عَنّى حَدَّ مَنْ نَصَبَ لى حَدَّهُ وَاَطْفِءْ عَنّى نارَ مَنْ شَبَّ لى وَ قُودَهُ وَاكْفِنى مَكْرَ الْمَكَرَةِ وَ افْقَاْعَنّى عُيُونَ الْكَفَرَةِ وَاكْفِنى هَمَّ مَنْ اَدْخَلَ عَلَىَّ هَمَّهُ وَادْفَعْ عَنّى شَرَّ الْحَسَدَةِ وَاعْصِمْنى مِنْ ذلِكَ بِالسَّكينَةِ وَاَلْبِسْنى دِرْعَكَ الْحَصينَةَ وَاَحْيِنى فى سِتْرِكَ الْواقى وَ اَصْلِحْ لى حالى وَ صَدِّقْ قَوْلى بِفِعالى وَ بارِكْ لى فى اَهْلى وَ مالى
