65. Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al-Nawfaly, from Al-Sakuny, who has narrated the following
Abu Abdullah (asws) has said that the Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj) said; ‘For whom the Blessings appear should frequently mention ‘الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ’ ‘Praise be to Allah (azwj)’, and the one who has numerous worries so for him is ‘بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ’ to seek Forgiveness, and the one who is pressed by the poverty should frequently say ‘لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ’ ‘There is no Power and no Might except by Allah (azwj) the High the Magnificent, the poverty would be negated from him’. And he (asws) said: ‘The Prophet (saww) missed a man from the Helpers so he (saww) said to him: ‘What is the reason for your absence?’ He said, ‘The poverty, O Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj), and the lengthy illness’. So he (saww) said to him: ‘Shall I (saww) teach you certain words, if you were to recite these, the poverty would go away from you, as well as the illness?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool (saww) Allah (azwj)’. So he (saww) said: ‘When it is the morning and evening, say: ‘There is no Power and no Might except by Allah (azwj), the High, the Magnificent. I hereby rely upon the Alive Who does not die, and Praise be to Allah (azwj) Who never Took for Himself (azwj) a son, and there never was for Him (azwj) an associate in the Kingdom, and will not be for Him (azwj) a guardian from the humiliation, and Great is His (azwj) Greatness’. So the man said, ‘By Allah (azwj), I had not recited it except for three days, and the poverty and the illness went away from me’.
عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنِ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (عليه السلام) قَالَ
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) مَنْ ظَهَرَتْ عَلَيْهِ النِّعْمَةُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ ذِكْرَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَ مَنْ كَثُرَتْ هُمُومُهُ فَعَلَيْهِ بِالِاسْتِغْفَارِ وَ مَنْ أَلَحَّ عَلَيْهِ الْفَقْرُ فَلْيُكْثِرْ مِنْ قَوْلِ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ يَنْفِي عَنْهُ الْفَقْرَ وَ قَالَ فَقَدَ النَّبِيُّ (صلى الله عليه وآله) رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَقَالَ مَا غَيَّبَكَ عَنَّا فَقَالَ الْفَقْرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ طُولُ السُّقْمِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ (صلى الله عليه وآله) أَ لَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلَاماً إِذَا قُلْتَهُ ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ الْفَقْرُ وَ السُّقْمُ فَقَالَ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ إِذَا أَصْبَحْتَ وَ أَمْسَيْتَ فَقُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ [الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ] تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قُلْتُهُ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةَ أَيَّامٍ حَتَّى ذَهَبَ عَنِّي الْفَقْرُ وَ السُّقْمُ. لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ [الْعَلِيِّ الْعَظِيمِ] تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لَا يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ فَوَ اللَّهِ مَا قُلْتُهُ
