Translation

Sahl Bin Ziyad, from Yahya Bin Al Mubarak, from Ibrahim BiN Salih, from a man from Al Jafariyyeen who said, ‘In Al-Medina there was a man with us whose teknonym was Abu Al-Qamaam, and he was unfortunate. So he went over to Abu Al-Hassan^asws and complained to him^asws of his bad luck, and informed him^asws no matter where he diverts himself, his need does not get fulfilled for him. So Abu Al-Hassan^asws said to him: ‘Say at the end of your supplication from the Dawn Prayer, ‘سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَ أَسْأَلُهُ مِنْ فَضْلِهِ’ ‘Glory be to Allah^azwj, the Magnificent. I seek Forgiveness of Allah^azwj and ask Him^azwj from His^azwj Grace’ – ten times’. Abu Al-Qamqaam said, ‘So I necessitated that, and by Allah^azwj, it did not remain except for a little while until a group of people from Al-Badiyya came over to me and informed me that a man from my people had died and no inheritors were recognised for him apart from myself. So I went over and took possession of my inheritance, and I am now self-sufficient’.
