4. He said: Abul Hasan Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn al-Hasan ibn al-Waleed reported to me from his father, from Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Ja’ffar, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Rayyan ibn al-Swalt who said:

I heard al-Ridha ‘Ali ibn Musa invoking a prayer, so I memorized it from him. And whenever I invoked it during hardship, Allah relieved me. It is: "O Allah! You are my Trust in every distress, and You are my Hope in every hardship; And in all that befalls me, You are my Trust and my Shelter; How much of grief that weakens the heart, and has but little way of escape, and when the affairs lack any remedy, When the near ones and the distant ones, and the friends let me down, and the enemies taunt, I came unto You and complained to You, inclined to You beside all others, And You dispelled the grief and relieved the affliction, and became Sufficient for me, So You are the Provider of all bounties, and the Source for all needs, and the Final Refuge for every desire. So, for You is abundant praise, and to You belongs the plentiful favour. With Your blessings, all righteousness is fulfilled. O One who is known for His Grace, and the One praised for His Grace, bless me with the Grace which would enable me to dispense with kindness from others, I beseech Your mercy, O Most Merciful."
