Authentic Supplication Number 134.
It is reported of ‘Ali bin ‘Abi Talib that someone who was indebted came to him and said: I am unable to pay my debt so help me. He said: Shall I not teach you a few words the Messenger of Allah taught me, if you had the like of a mountain (Seerin) of debt Allah would fulfill it on your behalf? Say: ‘Allahumma kfinee bihalalika `an haramika, wa ‘aghninee bifadhlika `amman siwaka (156).
