Prophetic Supplications: For Paying Off Debt

For Paying Off Debt

Imam Baqhir (peace be upon him) had said: A man came to the Holy Prophet (PBUH&HF) and said: O Prophet of Allah I am a large family and I’m in debt. My situation has become very bad. Teach me a supplication that I may call out to Allah with, so that I receive sufficient means to pay off my debt and meet the needs of my family. The Holy Prophet (peace be upon him and his family) said: O servant of Allah get complete and proper wudhu (ablution) and with full attention perform a two-unit prayer with the best of bowing and prostrations and after prayer say:

يَا مَاجِدُ يَا وَاحِدُ يَا كَرِيمُ أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّكَ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ، يَا  مُحَمَّدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إِلَى اللَّهِ رَبِّكَ وَ رَبِّ كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ أَنْ  تُصَلِّيَ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ، وَ أَسْأَلُكَ نَفْحَةً مِنْ نَفَحَاتِكَ وَ فَتْحاً يَسِيراً وَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً، أَلُمُّ بِهِ شَعْثِي وَ أَقْضِي بِهِ دَيْنِي وَ أَسْتَعِينُ بِهِ عَلَى عِيَالِي.

O Glorious, O One [Unique], O Generous, I turn to You through Your Prophet Mohammad, the Prophet of Mercy. O Mohammad, O Messenger of Allah, I turn by you (with your intercession) to Allah, your Lord and the Lord of everything, to send blessings upon Mohammad and his Household. And I ask You for a breath of Your breaths, and an easy victory, and abundant provision, which I will use to settle my debts and seek help for my family.
