7ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ صَبِيحٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ إِذَا غَدَوْتَ فِي حَاجَتِكَ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَجِبَ الصَّلاَةُ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ قُلْتَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي غَدَوْتُ أَلْتَمِسُ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَارْزُقْنِي رِزْقاً حَلاَلاً طَيِّباً وَأَعْطِنِي فِيمَا رَزَقْتَنِي الْعَافِيَةَ تُعِيدُهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ أُخْرَاوَيْنِ فَإِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ قُلْتَ بِحَوْلِ الله وَقُوَّتِهِ غَدَوْتُ بِغَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلاَ قُوَّةٍ وَلَكِنْ بِحَوْلِكَ يَا رَبِّ وَقُوَّتِكَ وَأَبْرَأُ إِلَيْكَ مِنَ الْحَوْلِ وَالْقُوَّةِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بَرَكَةَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَبَرَكَةَ أَهْلِهِ وَأَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ رِزْقاً وَاسِعاً طَيِّباً حَلاَلاً تَسُوقُهُ إِلَيَّ بِحَوْلِكَ وَقُوَّتِكَ وَأَنَا خَافِضٌ فِي عَافِيَتِكَ تَقُولُهَا ثَلاَثاً.

Published English translation

7. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father, from ‘Abd Allah ibn al-Mughirah from al-Walid ibn Sabih who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that when you in the morning after Salah (prayer) want to go to work, perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer). After saying the testimonies say, ‘O Lord, I have attended this morning and I seek favor through Your generosity, as You have commanded, in the form of lawful and fine sustenance with which You will grant me good health.’ Say it three times. Then perform another two Rak‘at Salah (prayer). At the end of testimonies say, ‘By the power and means of Allah, I attend this morning not by my own power and means, but by Your power and means, O Lord, and I disassociate from all powers and means. O Lord, I appeal to You for the blessings of this day and the blessings of the people of this day. I appeal before You to grant me through Your generosity vast, fine and lawful sustenance which You will send to me by Your means and power so I can live affluently in good health.’ Say it three times.”
