Chapter 53 | Supplications for Sustenance

12ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَمِيدِ الْعَطَّارِ عَنْ يُونُسَ بْنِ يَعْقُوبَ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ لأبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) إِنَّا قَدِ اسْتَبْطَأْنَا الرِّزْقَ فَغَضِبَ ثُمَّ قَالَ قُلِ اللهمَّ إِنَّكَ تَكَفَّلْتَ بِرِزْقِي وَرِزْقِ كُلِّ دَابَّةٍ فَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ دُعِيَ وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ سُئِلَ وَيَا خَيْرَ مَنْ أَعْطَى وَيَا أَفْضَلَ مُرْتَجًى افْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.

12. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid al-‘Attar from Yunus ibn Ya’qub from abu Basir who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah ‘Our sustenance has been delayed.’ The Imam was angered and told me to say, ‘O Lord, You have undertaken to provide me sustenance, and to all walking beings, O the best to call for help, O the best to plead with, O the best of charity providers, O the best of hope bestow upon me such and such, . . . mention your wish in place of ‘such and such’.’”
