It was narrated from Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that a makatib (a slave who had made a contract to free himself upon payment of a sum) came to him and said: "I am unable to pay off my freedom, so help me." He (Ali) said: "Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught me? If you had the equivalent of a mountain of debt, Allah would pay it off for you. He said: 'O Allah, suffice me with Your lawful provision instead of Your unlawful provision, and enrich me with Your bounty, so that I may not need anyone but You.'" (Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Book 24, Hadith 3563)
