In one narration, these words appear: "Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: A man had a claim due from me, and I was apprehensive about him, so I stayed at home for two days without going out. Then, when I went out and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: 'O Mu'adh! Where were you?' I replied: 'A man had a claim due from me, and I was so apprehensive about him that I felt ashamed and did not like him to meet me.' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Shall I not direct you to some words such that, if you owed a debt as large as mountains, Allah Almighty would have it paid off?' I replied: 'Yes!' The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Recite this: 'O Allah! O Owner of sovereignty!'" After this, the narrator reported the narration in brief as before, and added these words at its end:
'Allahumma aghnini min al-faqr, waqdi anni al-dayn, wa tawaffani fi ibadatik, wa jihadin fi sabilik'
(O Allah! Free me from poverty, have my debt paid off, and grant me death while I am in Your worship and in jihad in Your path.)
Al-Tabarani recorded all of these narrations. The first narration contains a narrator, Nasr bin Marzuq, whom I do not know, and the rest of its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy), except that Sa'id bin al-Musayyib did not hear from Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him). The second narration contains a narrator whom I do not know.
