Prophetic Supplications: For Paying Off Debt and Being Relieved of Satanic Whispers

For Paying Off Debt and Being Relieved of Satanic Whispers

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: A man came to the Prophet Mohammad (peace be upon him and his family) and said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Debt and the whispers of my heart have overcome me. Do you have any advice for me to relieve this?' The Prophet replied: 'Say:

تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لاَ يَمُوتُ وَ الْحَمْدُ للَّهِِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَ لاَ وَلَداً وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَ كَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً .

I place my trust in the Ever-Living who does not die, and “All praise is due to Allah, the One Who has Not taken to Him a son and Who has No partner in the sovereignty over the existence nor has he any protector [Since He has no weakness to be in Need of support] and [O, Messenger] Celebrate His Greatness repeatedly: [Say: Allah is the Absolute Great]”.

Imam Sadiq (peace be upon him) said: Some time passed since this incident, and one day the man passed by the Prophet. The Prophet called him and said: 'What happened?' He replied: 'O Messenger of Allah, I continued what you advised me, and Allah settled my debt and removed the whispers/temptations from my heart.
