On Debt (134)

It is reported of 'Ali bin 'Abi Tãlib

that someone who was indebted came to him and said: I am unable to pay my debt so help me. He said: Shall I not teach you a few words the Messenger of Allah

taught me, if you had the like of a mountain (Seerin) of debt Allah would fulfill it on your behalf? Say: 'Allãhumma kfinee bihalãlika `an harãmika, wa 'aghninee bifadhlika `amman siwãka⁽¹⁵⁶⁾
