Fatimah came to the Prophet, asking him for a servant. So he said to her: “Say: ‘O Allah, Lord of the Seven Heavens and the Lord of the Magnificent Throne, our Lord, and the Lord of everything, Revealer of the Tawrah, the Injil, and the Quran, Splitter of the seed-grain and the date-stone: I seek refuge in You from the evil of everything that You are holding by the forelock, You are the First, for there is nothing above You, and you are Al-Batin, for there is nothing below You. Relieve me from debt, and enrich me from poverty (Allahumma Rabbas Samawati-Sab’I Wa Rabbal-Arshil Azim, Rabbana, Wa Rabba Kulli Shai’in, Munzilat-Tawrati Wal-Injili Wal-Quran, Faliqal-Habbi Wan-Nawa, A’udhu Bika Min Sharri Kulli Shai’un Anta Akhidun Binasiyatihi, Antal-Awwalu Falaisa Qablaka Shai’un, Wa Antal-Akhiru Falaisa Ba’daka Shai’un, Wa Antaz-Zahiru Falaisa Fawqaka Shai’un, Wa Antal-Batinu Falaisa Dunaka Shai’un, Iqdi Anni-daina Wa Aghnini Minal-Faqr).”

The Messenger of Allah used to say: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from a heart that does not humble itself, and from a supplication that is not heard, and from a soul that is never satisfied, and from knowledge that does not benefit, I seek refuge in You from these four (Allahumma! Inna A’udhu Bika Min Qalbin La Yakhsha’u, Wa Min Du’a’in La Yusma’u, Wa Min Nafsin La Tashba’u, Wa Min Ilmin La Yanfa’u, A’udhu Bika Min Ha’ula’il-Arba).”
