وَعَن عليّ: أَنَّهُ جَاءَهُ مُكَاتَبٌ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي عَجَزْتُ عَنْ كتابي فَأَعِنِّي قَالَ: أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ عَلَّمَنِيهِنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لَوْ كَانَ عَلَيْكَ مِثْلُ جَبَلٍ كَبِيرٍ دَيْنًا أَدَّاهُ اللَّهُ عَنْكَ. قُلْ: «اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ» . رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَالْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي الدَّعَوَاتِ الْكَبِيرِ وَسَنَذْكُرُ حَدِيثَ جَابِرٍ: «إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ الْكِلَابِ» فِي بَابِ «تَغْطِيَةِ الْأَوَانِي» إِن شَاءَ الله تَعَالَى

‘Ali reported: A man bound by a contract of manumission came to him and said, “I cannot pay my contract. Help me.” He said, “Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me? If you owed a debt as great as a huge mountain, Allah would pay it off for you. Say: ‘O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful instead of what You have forbidden, and enrich me by Your bounty so that I need no one besides You.’” Reported by al-Tirmidhi and al-Bayhaqi in al-Da‘awat al-Kabir. We will mention the hadith of Jabir, “When you hear dogs barking,” in the chapter on covering vessels, if Allah, Most High, wills. The hadith was not studied by al-Albani.
