2ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا نَبِيَّ الله الْغَالِبُ عَلَيَّ الدَّيْنُ وَوَسْوَسَةُ الصَّدْرِ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) قُلْ تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى الْحَيِّ الَّذِي لا يَمُوتُ وَالْحَمْدُ لله الَّذِي لَمْ يَتَّخِذْ صَاحِبَةً وَلا وَلَداً وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ شَرِيكٌ فِي الْمُلْكِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ وَلِيٌّ مِنَ الذُّلِّ وَكَبِّرْهُ تَكْبِيراً قَالَ فَصَبَرَ الرَّجُلُ مَا شَاءَ الله ثُمَّ مَرَّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وآلِه) فَهَتَفَ بِهِ فَقَالَ مَا صَنَعْتَ فَقَالَ أَدْمَنْتُ مَا قُلْتَ لِي يَا رَسُولَ الله فَقَضَى الله دَيْنِي وَأَذْهَبَ وَسْوَسَةَ صَدْرِي.

2. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ari has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ from Hammad ibn ‘Uthman from Abu ‘Abdillah who has said the following: “Once a man came to the Holy Prophet and said, ‘O Prophet of Allah, debts and insinuation of the chest (mind) have overcome me.’ The Holy Prophet told him to say, ‘I place my trust in Allah, the Living, Who does not die, all praise belongs to Allah, Who has not taken any companions, or children. Who has no partner in His kingdom or supporter against defeat, and you must say that Allah is greater than can be described. ’ “The Imam said that he thereafter passed by the Holy Prophet who asked him how was he doing. He replied, ‘I continued practicing what you had preached, O the Messenger of Allah, Allah enabled me to pay my debts and removed the insinuation from my chest.’”
