Hadith record

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Once a man came to the Holy Prophet and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, debts and insinuation of the chest (mind) have overcome me.’ The Holy Prophet told him to say, ‘I place my trust in Allah, the Living, Who does not die, all praise belongs to Allah, Who has not taken any companions, or children. Who has no partner in His kingdom or supporter against defeat, and you must say that Allah is greater than can be described. ’ “The Imam said that he thereafter passed by the Holy Prophet who asked him how was he doing. He replied, ‘I continued practicing what you had preached, O the Messenger of Allah, Allah enabled me to pay my debts and removed the insinuation from my chest.’”
