Source & Authentication

Narrated by Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said: "O Allah's Messenger! I cannot afford to pay off my debts, so lend me assistance." He said: "O man! I will teach you words, by which, if you say them, Allah will help you pay your debts, though they be as heavy as the mountain of Sir (a mountain in Syria). Say: 'Allahumma akfini bihalalika 'an haramika, wa aghnini bifadlika 'amman siwaka' (O Allah, suffice me with what You have made lawful, and save me from what You have made unlawful, and enrich me by Your grace, so that I may not need the help of any other than You)."

Dua for Protection from a Bad Death Before Sleep

O Allah, I ask You for the life of the happy, the death of a martyr, the victory over enemies, the life of bliss, and companionship of the highest. And grant me help in obeying You, and contentment with Your decree, and gratitude after prosperity, and seizing the branches (of fruits), and a good end, and forgiveness after death, and abundant provision. And there is no life except the life of the Hereafter, with desire and fear, love and awe, and weeping and good deeds. So, O Lord, let us reach our desires, and do not punish us for what we have done, and give us what we ask for, then make us pleased with it, and say to us a word that is accepted. O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of all things, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Quran, Cleaver of the seed and the date-stone. I seek refuge in You from the evil of all things You are seizing the forelock of. O Allah, You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the Outwardly Apparent, so there is nothing above You; You are the Inwardly Hidden, so there is nothing nearer than You. Settle our debts for us and enrich us from poverty.

Take hold of my hand, forgive my shortcomings, and replace the constriction in my chest with relief. Help me with my debt and its payment. Obey me in my own affairs and do not give power over me to Your creation, nor give power over me to Satan, nor give me power over myself.
