Chapter 53 | Supplications for Sustenance

2ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ ابْنِ فَضَّالٍ عَنْ يُونُسَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) لَقَدِ اسْتَبْطَأْتُ الرِّزْقَ فَغَضِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنَّكَ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِرِزْقِي وَرِزْقِ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ يَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَيَا أَفْضَلَ مُرْتَجًى افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.

2. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ibn Faddal from Yunus Fadl ibn Shadhan abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah ‘Sustenance has been delayed.’ He became angry and then told me to say, ‘O Lord, You have undertaken to provide me sustenance and the sustenance of every walking being, O the best to beg from, O the best provider, O the best to plead to, O the best hope, do for me so and so’ . . . mention your wish in place of ellipsis.’”
