كُنْتُ عِنْدَ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ الْعَلَاءُ بْنُ كَامِلٍ إِنَّ فُلَاناً يَفْعَلُ بِي وَ يَفْعَلُ فَإِنْ رَأَيْتَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَقَالَ هَذَا ضَعْفٌ بِكَ قُلِ. اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ تَكْفِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ وَ لَا يَكْفِي مِنْكَ شَيْءٌ فَاكْفِنِي أَمْرَ فُلَانٍ بِمَ شِئْتَ وَ كَيْفَ شِئْتَ وَ مِنْ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ وَ أَنَّى شِئْتَ
Translation
Ahmad Bin Muhammad Al Kufy, from Ali Bin Al Hassan Al Taymi, from Ali Bin Asbaat, from Yaqoub Bin Salim who said, ‘I was in the presence of Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, and Al-A’ala Bin Kamil said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘So and so goes against me, and goes against me. So if you<sup>asws</sup> view proper, you<sup>asws</sup> could supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘This is weakness with you. Say, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! You<sup>azwj</sup> Suffice me from everything and nothing can suffice from You<sup>azwj</sup>, therefore Suffice me with the matter of so and so with whatever You<sup>azwj</sup> so Desire to, and from wherever You<sup>azwj</sup> so Desire to, and whenever You<sup>azwj</sup> so Desire to’’.
