It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that Fatimah came to the Prophet ﷺ asking him for a servant. He said to her, ‘I do not have anything to give you.’ She returned home. Later, he came to her and said, ‘Is what you asked for dearer to you, or something better than it?’ ‘Ali said to her, ‘Say, “No, rather something better than it.”’ She said that, and he said, ‘Say: “O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Mighty Qur’an. You are the First, and nothing precedes You; You are the Last, and nothing comes after You; You are the Manifest, and nothing is above You; You are the Hidden, and nothing is beyond You. Settle our debts for us and free us from poverty.”’
