4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ بَكْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) كَانَ كَتَبَهُ لِي فِي قِرْطَاسٍ اللهمَّ ارْدُدْ إِلَى جَمِيعِ خَلْقِكَ مَظَالِمَهُمُ الَّتِي قِبَلِي صَغِيرَهَا وَكَبِيرَهَا فِي يُسْرٍ مِنْكَ وَعَافِيَةٍ وَمَا لَمْ تَبْلُغْهُ قُوَّتِي وَلَمْ تَسَعْهُ ذَاتُ يَدِي وَلَمْ يَقْوَ عَلَيْهِ بَدَنِي وَيَقِينِي وَنَفْسِي فَأَدِّهِ عَنِّي مِنْ جَزِيلِ مَا عِنْدَكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ ثُمَّ لا تَخْلُفْ عَلَيَّ مِنْهُ شَيْئاً تَقْضِيهِ مِنْ حَسَنَاتِي يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لا إِلَهَ إِلا الله وَحْدَهُ لا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّداً عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنَّ الدِّينَ كَمَا شُرِعَ وَأَنَّ الإسْلامَ كَمَا وُصِفَ وَأَنَّ الْكِتَابَ كَمَا أُنْزِلَ وَأَنَّ الْقَوْلَ كَمَا حُدِّثَ وَأَنَّ الله هُوَ الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ ذَكَرَ الله مُحَمَّداً وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ بِخَيْرٍ وَحَيَّا مُحَمَّداً وَأَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ بِالسَّلامِ.

Published English translation

4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from Musa ibn Bakr who has said the following: “Abu Ibrahim (a.s.) had written the following for me on a piece of paper: ‘O Lord, return to all of such of Your creatures whose usurped belongings may exist with me, in small or large amounts, with ease and good health and for whatever of such items that my ability, body, certainty, my soul and belongings are not sufficient, enough and able, pay and fulfill them on my behalf from the abundance with You, through Your generosity. Do not leave on me anything (debts) that You will pay off from my good deeds, O the Most Beneficent, of the beneficent ones. I testify that no one deserves to be worshipped except Allah, Who has no partner, and I testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger that religion is as He has sanctioned that Islam is as He has described that the book is as He has revealed, that the word is as He has spoken, that Allah is the clear Truth. Allah has mentioned Muhammad and his family with words of goodness and has greeted Muhammad and his family with the greeting of peace.’”
