His supplication when sustenance becomes
scarce
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
O Allah! So and so son of so and so does not have the strength to bear
the calamities nor to endure poverty. O Allah send blessing on
Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) and his progeny and do not cut down his
sustenance and do not curtail Your obligations on him. Do not make him
away from Your grace, do not make him unsuccessful from Your
uncountable bounties. Do not entrust him upon Your creatures nor leave
him upon himself because he would not be able to take care of himself.
On the contrary You Yourself ward off the troubles, which are
surrounding him. Only You guide him, be attentive on all his
transactions, because if You entrust him upon Your creatures, they
would not be able to benefit him, and if You leave him with his friends
then they will not give him his due and if they ever give, it will be very
less and if they do not give it would be nothing at all. And if they behave
miserly I would be affected. O Allah! Make so and so son of so and so
self-sufficient by Your grace and do not neglect him because he is
restless in Your presence, and he is fully dependent on the things,
which are in Your power, and are You unaware? You are fully aware
and knowing it. And whoever relies on Allah then it is sufficient for him
without any doubt Allah will fulfill his desires. Allah has appointed a fix
term for everyone. Surely every trouble is accompanied by ease. Surely
with every hardship there is ease, and whoever fears Allah, Allah makes
a way for him and he is bestowed from where he had least expected.
