Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Ismail bin Abi Khalid narrates that before the Battle of Jamajim, one of the people of the mosque told me that it has been reported to me that Isa ibn Maryam i used to supplicate as follows: O Allah! I have entered the morning in such a state that I do not possess for myself that which I desire, nor do I have the power to repel that which I dislike, and goodness and well-being have entered the morning in the possession of someone other than me. And I have entered the morning in such a state that whatever I have eaten is held as collateral, so there is no poor person more afflicted by poverty than me. So do not afflict me with calamity in the matter of my religion, and do not make the world my greatest concern. And do not impose over me one who will not have mercy on me.
