Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 31314 — What is preserved of what the Prophet

Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to ask for a servant. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: "I have nothing at this time to give you." So she went back. After that he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself went to her and said: "Shall I give you what you asked for, which was dear to you, or something even better than it?" Hearing this, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her): "Say: No, rather grant something even better than it." Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) said so, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Recite this supplication: 'O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and the Lord of all things, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel and the Mighty Qur'an. You alone are the First; there was nothing before You. You alone are the Last; there will be nothing after You. You are the Manifest; there is nothing above You. You alone are the Hidden; there is nothing beneath You. Remove debt from us and free us from poverty.'"
