“Whosoever gives a loan to a mu’min, expecting his ease thereby, his wealth would increase and the angels would invoke blessings on him until he is paid.” Shaykh Bahā’ī and the Du‘ā’ of Relief From Debt In his well-known masterpiece of commentary of 40 traditions ( al-Arba‘ūna Hadīthan ), Shaykh Bahā’ī relates an interesting incident that he had experienced after quoting the following tradition: The esteemed Shaykh al-Sadūq Muhammad bin Bābaway al-Qummī has narrated with his chain of narrators from Imām Muhammad al-Bāqir (as) who narrated the same from his fathers (as), who narrated from Amīru’l Mu’minīn (as) who said: I complained to the Prophet (s) about a loan that I had on my shoulders, and he (s) said: O ‘Alī say: أَللٌّهُمَّ أَغْنِنِي بِحَلاَلِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ، وَبِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ.
