Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Alqamah bin Murtad says that when someone became a close companion of Imam Sha’bi, he would teach him this supplication: O Allah! Lord of Jibreel, Mika’eel, and Israfeel, and Lord of Ibrahim, Isma’eel, and Ishaaq! Grant me well-being, and do not impose upon me anyone from among Your creation whom I do not have the strength to face. Hazrat Alqamah says that a man was brought before the ruler, so he recited these words, and the ruler set him free.
