DUA FOR REPAYING THE DEBTS

The following are two supplicatory prayers for settling the debts:

First: Imam al-Sadiq (‘a) is reported to have advised of saying this supplicatory prayer:

O Allah, (please grant me) one of Your looks

by which You may make it easy for my debtors to settle their debts

and for me to recover my loans.

You verily have power over all things.

Second: This supplicatory prayer is reported from Imam Musa ibn Ja’far al-Kazim (‘a):

O Allah, (please) help me pay back to all of Your creatures

their dues for which I am liable,

both the insignificant and the large,

witheasiness and wellbeing from Your Presence.

As for the dues that I am too weak to settle,

I am too poor to make up,

and my physique, certitude, and self are too short to satisfy,

(please) settle them on behalf of me out of the abundant favor You own.

Then, (please) do not cut off any amount of it from my good deeds.

O most merciful of all those who show mercy!

I bear witness that there is no god but Allah,

One and Only and having no associate with Him.

I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger,

the religion is as exactly as He has legislated,

Islam is as exactly as He has described,

the Book is as exactly as He has revealed,

the truth is as exactly as He has said, and Allah is the manifest truth.

May Allah make good mention of Muhammad and his Household

and may He greet Muhammad and his Household with peace.
