He said: Say in the morning and evening: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from care and grief, I seek refuge in You from incapacity and slackness, I seek refuge in You from cowardice and niggardliness, and I seek in You from being overcome by debt and being put in subjection by men." He said: When I did that Allah removed my care and settled my debt.
