Hadith record

30. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Ya’qub ibn Shu’ayb from abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Say, ‘O my asset in my pain and suffering, O my companion in my severe hardships, O my benefactor, and O my abundant rain fall whenever I may desire.’ “The Imam said that of the supplications of Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) is the following: ‘O Lord, You have written down the consequences, know the news, have information about the secrets, You have taken over the place between us and (our) hearts, thus, secrets are public to You and the hearts have over flown (with desire to come to you). Your command upon a thing, whenever You will, is only Your saying, ‘Be,’ it then comes into existence, say through Your kindness to Your obedience to enter in all and every part of my parts and do not depart from me until I will meet You, and say through Your kindness to disobedience to You to move out of all and every part of my parts and do not ever approach me thereafter until I will meet You, provide me sustenance in this world but make me live with a reduced amount and do not isolate me whenever I desire it, (sustenance) O the Beneficent one.’”
