And he^asws said: ‘The Prophet^saww missed a man from the Helpers so he^saww said to him: ‘What is the reason for your absence?’ He said, ‘The poverty, O Rasool^saww Allah^azwj, and the lengthy illness’. So he^saww said to him: ‘Shall I^saww teach you certain words, if you were to recite these, the poverty would go away from you, as well as the illness?’ He said, ‘Yes, O Rasool^saww Allah^azwj’. So he^saww said: ‘When it is the morning and evening, say: ‘There is no Power and no Might except by Allah^azwj, the High, the Magnificent. I hereby rely upon the Alive Who does not die, and Praise be to Allah^azwj Who never Took for Himself^azwj a son, and there never was for Him^azwj an associate in the Kingdom, and will not be for Him^azwj a guardian from the humiliation, and Great is His^azwj Greatness’. So the man said, ‘By Allah^azwj, I had not recited it except for three days, and the poverty and the illness went away from me’.
