لَمَّا هُبِطَ بِآدَمَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ احْتَاجَ إِلَى الطَّعَامِ وَ الشَّرَابِ فَشَكَا ذَلِكَ إِلَى جَبْرَئِيلَ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ لَهُ جَبْرَئِيلُ يَا آدَمُ كُنْ حَرَّاثاً قَالَ فَعَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً قَالَ قُلِ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي مَئُونَةَ الدُّنْيَا وَ كُلَّ هَوْلٍ دُونَ الْجَنَّةِ وَ أَلْبِسْنِي الْعَافِيَةَ حَتَّى تَهْنِئَنِي الْمَعِيشَةُ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Ibn Mahboub, from Al Hassan Bin Umara, from Misma’a, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘When Adam<sup>as</sup> was descended to the earth, he<sup>as</sup> became needy to the food and the drink. So that was grievous upon Jibraeel<sup>as</sup>. So Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> said to him<sup>as</sup>: ‘O Adam<sup>as</sup>! Become a farmer’. He<sup>as</sup> said: ‘So teach me<sup>as</sup> a supplication’. He<sup>as</sup> said: ‘Say: ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! Suffice me<sup>as</sup> with the provisions of the world and (from) every horror before the Paradise, and Clothe me<sup>as</sup> with the good health until life becomes welcoming for me<sup>as</sup>’.
