Hadith record

3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Isma’Il ibn ‘Abd al-Khaliq who has said the following: “Once one of the companions of the Holy Prophet delayed and when he came, the Messenger of Allah asked, ‘What caused you to delay?’ He replied, ‘Illness and poverty.’ He then said, ‘Should I teach you a supplication with which Allah will remove illness and poverty from you?’ He said, ‘Yes, O the Messenger of Allah, please do so.’ The Messenger of Allah told him to say, ‘There are no means and no power without Allah, the Most High, the Most Great, I place my trust before the living One Who does not die, all praise belongs to Allah Who has not taken anyone as His companion or a child, Who has no partner in His kingdom, and there has never been any supporter for Him against humiliation, and speak of His greatness a great deal.’ “The narrator has said that very shortly thereafter the man came to the Holy Prophet saying, ‘O Messenger of Allah, He has removed from me illness and poverty.’”
