PRAYER FOR MORE SUSTENANCE

It is reported that a man came to the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and said, “I have many dependants and I am suffering too much because of debts. Therefore, instruct me a supplication by which Almighty Allah will provide me sustenance so that I can settle my debts and cover the needs of my dependants.” The Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) taught him to do the following: You may do the ritual ablution very accurately and then offer a two unit prayer with accurate genuflection and prostration. Upon accomplishment, you may say the following supplication:

يا ماجِدُ يا واحِدُ يا كَريمُ اَتَوَجَّهُ اِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ نَبِىِّ الرَّحْمَةِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَ آلِهِ يا مُحَمَّدُ يا رَسُولَاللّٰهِ اِنّى اَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ اِلَى اللّٰهِ رَبّى وَ رَبِّكَ وَ رَبِّ كُلِّ شَيْئٍ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ اللّهُمَّ اَنْ تُصَلِّىَ عَلى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ اَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَ اَسْئَلُكَ نَفْحَةً كَريمَةً مِنْ نَفَحاتِكَ وَ فَتْحاً يَسيراً وَ رِزْقاً واسِعاً اَلُمُّ بِهِ شَعَثى وَ اَقْضى بِهِ دَيْنى وَاَسْتَعينُ بِهِ عَلى عِيالى
