It is narrated from Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) came in to her and asked: Have you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the supplication that he (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me? She asked: What is it? He said: Sayyiduna Isa ibn Maryam (peace be upon him) used to teach this supplication to his companions: "If any of you had a debt as large as a mountain of gold and he called upon Allah with this supplication, Allah Almighty would pay it off on his behalf: 'Allahumma farijal-hamm, kashifal-ghamm, mujiba da'watil-mudtarrin, rahmanad-dunya wal-akhirati wa rahimahuma, anta tarhamuni farhamni rahmatan tughnini biha 'an rahmati man siwak' (O Allah, Remover of worries, Dispeller of grief, Answerer of the call of those in distress, Merciful in this world and the Hereafter and Most Compassionate in them both! You are the One who shows me mercy, so grant me a special mercy by which You make me free of need of the mercy of anyone besides You)." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Some debt remained upon me and I strongly disliked it, so I kept making this supplication, and Allah Almighty brought me some gain and paid off that debt on my behalf. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I owed Sayyidah Asma' bint Umays (may Allah be pleased with her) one dinar and three dirhams. Whenever she came to me, I felt ashamed to face her because I had no means of repaying her. Then I began making this supplication, and only a little time had passed when Allah Almighty granted me provision that was neither charity given to me nor an inheritance; rather, Allah paid off my debt, I also distributed it well among my family, I had jewellery of three uqiyahs of silver made for the daughter of Sayyiduna Abd al-Rahman, and a good amount was left over for us. Imam Bukhari used Abdullah bin Umar al-Numayri as evidence, and this hadith is sahih (authentic); however, the two Shaykhs did not use al-Hakam bin Abdullah al-Ayli as evidence.
