Once, Hazrat Amirul Momineen Ali ibn Abi Talib (A.S.) fell into debt. He complained to the Holy Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.), who then instructed him to recite the following supplication:
اَللَّهُمَّ اغْنِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَ أَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ يَا حَيُّ يَا قَيُّومُ

Hazrat Amirul Momineen (A.S.) said, "When I started reciting this dua, my debt was repaid within a few days.
