199 – Salamah ibn Shabīb narrated to us; Muḥammad ibn Munīb transmitted; al-Sarī ibn Yaḥyā told me, from ʿAnbasah ibn al-Azhar, who said:

“Muhārib ibn Dithār, the judge of the people of Kūfah, was my close neighbour. More than once, in the depths of the night, I would hear him raising his voice and saying:

‘I am the child whom You reared—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the weak one whom You strengthened—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the poor one whom You enriched—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the stranger whom You took under Your care—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the destitute vagabond whom You endowed with wealth—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the hungry one whom You satisfied—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the unclothed one whom You clothed—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the traveller whom You accompanied—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the absentee for whom You settled every matter—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the one on foot whom You carried—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the sick one whom You healed—so to You belongs all praise;
I am the supplicant whose prayer You answered—so to You belongs all praise, our Lord; and to You belongs all praise, our Lord—praise to You for every blessing.’”
