أَخْبَرَنِي هِلَالُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حُسَيْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
أَتَتْ فَاطِمَةُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ تَسْأَلُهُ خَادِمًا فَقَالَ «الَّذِي جِئْتِ تَطْلُبِينَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكِ أَوْ خَيْرًا مِنْهُ؟» قَالَ فَحَسِبْتُ أَنَّهَا سَأَلَتْ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ قَوْلِي مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَتْ مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ «فَقُولِي اللهُمَّ رَبَّ السَّمَوَاتِ السَّبْعِ وَرَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ رَبَّنَا وَرَبَّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ مُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةِ وَالْإِنْجِيلِ وَالْفُرْقَانِ وَفَالِقَ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ أَنْتَ آخُذٌ بِنَاصِيَتِهِ أَنْتَ الْأَوَّلُ فَلَيْسَ قَبْلَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْآخِرُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الظَّاهِرُ فَلَيْسَ فَوْقَكَ شَيْءٌ وَأَنْتَ الْبَاطِنُ فَلَيْسَ دُونَكَ شَيْءٌ اقْضِ عَنَّا الدِّينَ وَأَغْنِنَا مِنَ الْفَقْرِ»

✧ Fatimah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asking him for a servant. He said: 'Is what you have come to ask for dearer to you, or something better than it?' He said: 'I thought she asked Ali.' He said: 'Say: what is better?' She said: 'What is better?' He said: 'Say: O Allah, Lord of the seven heavens and Lord of the Mighty Throne, our Lord and Lord of everything, Revealer of the Torah, the Gospel, and the Criterion, Splitter of the grain and date-stone, I seek refuge in You from the evil of every thing—You seize it by its forelock. You are the First, so there is nothing before You; You are the Last, so there is nothing after You; You are the Manifest, so there is nothing above You; You are the Hidden, so there is nothing below You. Settle our debt and make us free from poverty.'
