Hadith record

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Uthman ibn ‘Isa from abu Hamza who has said the following: “Once I asked permission to see abu Ja’far (a.s.) and he came out while his lips were moving. I then asked him about it and he said, ‘Did you, O al-Thumali, notice it?’ I said, ‘Yes, may Allah keep my soul in service for your cause, I did.’ The Imam said, ‘By Allah, I spoke the words that no one before had ever spoken, but that Allah had sufficed him in things important to him of worldly matters or of hereafter.’ I (the narrator) then said, ‘Please tell me about it.’ The Imam said, ‘Whoever when coming out of his house says, “In the name of Allah, enough for me is Allah, I place my trust in Allah. O Lord, I ask You to grant me all good in my affairs. I seek protection with You against the humiliation in this world and of torment in the next life,” Allah will suffice him in all that is important to him of worldly or of hereafter.’”
