Supplication for those with small provision
قال الإمام الطبراني رحمه الله في معجمه الكبير :
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ بن أَحْمَدَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بن زِيَادٍ الْبُرْجُمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بن مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ، عَنْ زُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ: ضَافَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَزْوَاجِهِ يَبْتَغِي عِنْدَهُنَّ طَعَامًا، فَلَمْ يَجِدْ عِنْدَ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ، فَقَالَ:اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ وَرَحْمَتِكَ، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَمْلِكُهَا إِلا أَنْتَ، فَأُهْدِيَتْ إِلَيْهِ شَاةٌ مَصْلِيَّةٌ، فَقَالَ:هَذِهِ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللَّهِ، وَنَحْنُ نَنْتَظِرُ الرَّحْمَةَ.
From Murra, from Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud (he said), “The Messenger of Allah got a visitor one day. He sent a man to his wives to check whether one of them have some food to serve, but in fact none of his wives got a food that could be served to his guest. Then the Prophet recited a du’a, which means, “O Allah, I beg from You some of Your bounty and Your mercy, because indeed, none has it but You.”
Not long after that, he got a roasted mutton. Then the Prophet commented, “This is a part of His bounty. We are waiting for His mercy.”
This hadith was narrated by Abu Nu’aim in his work “al Hilyah” and Thabrani in “al Mu’jam al Kabir”.
Al Haitami said, “It is narrated by Thabrani and the narrators are the narrators of the valid book, beside Muhammad Ibn Ziyad al Burjumi and he is a trusted narrator.” Al Albani in “Silsilah Shahihah”, hadith no 1543, said, “According to me, the narration is valid.” In his other work, “Shahih al Jami'”, hadith no 1278, Al Albani also commented. “It is valid.”
In “al Mushannaf”, Ibn Abi Syaiba gave a chapter title for this hadith with the words:
الرَّجُلُ يُصِيبُهُ الْجُوعُ أَوْ يَضِيقُ عَلَيْهِ الرِّزْقُ مَا يَدْعُو بِهِ .
“When someone is starving or enduring a hardship in earning his living, this supplication is what he should say.”
