5ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ شَكَوْتُ إِلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) الْحَاجَةَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي دُعَاءً فِي طَلَبِ الرِّزْقِ فَعَلَّمَنِي دُعَاءً مَا احْتَجْتُ مُنْذُ دَعَوْتُ بِهِ قَالَ قُلْ فِي دُبُر صَلاةِ اللَّيْلِ وَأَنْتَ سَاجِدٌ يَا خَيْرَ مَدْعُوٍّ وَيَا خَيْرَ مَسْئُولٍ وَيَا أَوْسَعَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَيَا خَيْرَ مُرْتَجًى ارْزُقْنِي وَأَوْسِعْ عَلَيَّ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ وَسَبِّبْ لِي رِزْقاً مِنْ قِبَلِكَ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ.

5. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa’Id from Muhammad ibn Khalid from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwah from abu Jamilah from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I complained to Abu ‘Abdillah for (lack of) help and asked him to instruct me with a supplication to plead for sustenance and he instructed me with a supplication and thereafter I did not grow to be needy again. The Imam told me to, after the night prayer while in prostration say, ‘O the best to call for help and the best to plead to, O provider of vastest charity, O the best hope, grant me sustenance vastly from Your sustenance and find the means of sustenance for me, You have power over all things.’”
