1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ خَالِدٍ وَالْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ جَمِيعاً عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) أَنْ يُعَلِّمَنِي دُعَاءً لِلرِّزْقِ فَعَلَّمَنِي دُعَاءً مَا رَأَيْتُ أَجْلَبَ مِنْهُ لِلرِّزْقِ قَالَ قُلِ اللهمَّ ارْزُقْنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ الْحَلالِ الطَّيِّبِ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً حَلالاً طَيِّباً بَلاغاً لِلدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ صَبّاً صَبّاً هَنِيئاً مَرِيئاً مِنْ غَيْرِ كَدٍّ وَلا مَنٍّ مِنْ أَحَدِ خَلْقِكَ إِلا سَعَةً مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْوَاسِعِ فَإِنَّكَ قُلْتَ وَسْئَلُوا الله مِنْ فَضْلِهِ فَمِنْ فَضْلِكَ أَسْأَلُ وَمِنْ عَطِيَّتِكَ أَسْأَلُ وَمِنْ يَدِكَ الْمَلأى أَسْأَلُ.

Published English translation

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Khalid and al-Husayn ibn Sa’Id all from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwah from abu Jamilah from Mu’awiyah ibn ‘ Ammar who has said the following: “Once I asked Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) to instruct me with a supplication for sustenance and he taught me one. 1 had not found anything else as attracting sustenance as this. The Imam said, ‘Say O Lord, grant me out of Your vast magnanimity, lawful and pure sustenance, that is vast, lawful, pure and sufficient for this world and the hereafter in large quantities, pleasant in nutrition with out toiling or being obliged by any of Your creatures except for its being the extra from Your vast generosity; You have said, “. . . ask Allah from His munificence. . . .” (4: 32), from Your munificence I ask sustenance and from Your charity I beg and from Your wealthy hand I plead to receive help.’”
