Chapter on Supplication When Purchasing Goods for Trade
رَوَى اَلْعَلاَءُ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَيْهِمَا اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا اِشْتَرَيْتَ مَتَاعاً فَكَبِّرِ اَللَّهَ ثَلاَثاً ثُمَّ قُلِ اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اِشْتَرَيْتُهُ أَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ مِنْ خَيْرِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لِي فِيهِ خَيْراً اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اِشْتَرَيْتُهُ أَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لِي فِيهِ فَضْلاً اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي اِشْتَرَيْتُهُ أَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ مِنْ رِزْقِكَ فَاجْعَلْ لِي فِيهِ رِزْقاً ثُمَّ أَعِدْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهَا ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ".
Al-Ala narrated from Muhammad ibn Muslim who said: One of the Imams عليه السلام said: "When you purchase merchandise, glorify Allah سبحانه وتعالى (say Allahu Akbar) three times, then say: O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I have purchased it seeking Your goodness, so make goodness for me in it. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I have purchased it seeking Your bounty, so make bounty for me in it. O Allah سبحانه وتعالى, I have purchased it seeking Your provision, so make provision for me in it. Then repeat each of these supplications three times."
