It is narrated from Hazrat Ali (a.s.) that the Prophet of Allah (a.s.) used to recite the following supplication after the Zuhr prayer.

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful.

There is no god But Allah, the Great, the Clement: there is no god but Allah, the Lord of ‘Arsh (the throne) of Grace; and all praise is for Allah, the Lord of the worlds: O’ Allah I beseech Thee for all that time which is the cause of Thy Mercy, and that which ascertain Thy Forgiveness: and the benefit of every virtue, and safety from every sin: O’ Allah leave not any sin on me but that You forgive it, and any affliction but that You remove it, and any illness but that You heal it, and any defect but that You conceal it, and any subsistence but that You increase it, and any fear but that You protect (me) from it; and any evil but that You repel it, an any of my need in which is Thy pleasure and which is beneficial for me, but that You grant it; O’ that Most Merciful, grant me my supplication, O’ the Lord of the Worlds.

Then recite ten times:[I take refuge with Allah, I rely upon Allah, I confide my affairs to Allah.] Billahi i'tas'matu billahi athiqu al a'lallahi atawakkalu"

[O Allah, may be my transgressions are remarkably large and notable, but you are almighty, and my short comings are considerably extraordinary, but You are supreme, and avarice (desire for more and more favours) is insatiable, but you are the owner of superabundant bounties who gives out freely at will. O Allah forgive my a great many lapses in the name of your most liberal leniency and my thousands of shortcomings through you oft-forgiving and overlooking kindness, and gratify my greed for Your bounties through Your liberal generosity. O Allah whatever advantages I have are from You - there is no god save You. I ask for your forgiveness and I turned repentant unto you.]

[O Allah, grant me perfect and effective faith, a tongue always praising (You), a heart full of (Your) awe and fear, a body restraining desires, useful knowledge, enough means of sustenance, and send blessings on Muhammad and on all his children, through Your mercy, O the most merciful.]

Then recite: Oh Allah! The Lord of seven heavens, and the Lord of seven earths, and whatever is in them, and whatever is between them, and whatever is beneath them, and the Lord of tremendous throne. And the Lord of Gabriel, Michael and Israfeel, and the Lord of Sab-e-Masani (surah Al-Fateha), and the Lord of tremendous Quran; and the Lord of Muhammad, the last of the Prophets of Allah, bless him and his progeny. Unbounded blessings be on Muhammad and progeny of Muhammad. I ask Thee by Thy mightiest name, by Whom heavens and earth are sustained, and by Whom the dead are given life and the living are provided with sustenance, and the gathered, and the scattered are gathered, and by Whom are encompassed the number of the spans of life, and the weight of mountains, and the measure of oceans. Oh one! Who are like this, I ask Thee to Shower unbounded blessing on Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and do for me such and such (in the place of ‘such and such’ ask for you need).

After this, raising your hands towards the sky recite the following:“O Allah! I seek nearness to Thee by Thy munificence and generosity, and seek nearness to Thee through Muhammad, Thy slave and Thy messenger; and I seek nearness to Thee, through Thy angels and Thy prophets. Bless Muhammad and the progeny of Muhammad and nullify my mistakes, and hide my defects, and pardon my sins, and fulfil my needs, cure my progeny and dependents, and do not chastise me for my reprehensible – (foul base) acts, for, verily, Thy munificence and Thy pardon and Thy forgiveness are wide”.

Recite salawat 100 times:[Blessings of Allah be on Muhammad on he children of Muhammad.] i. You will never have to take loans, even if there is a debt you owe to anyone you will get enough funds to repay it. ii. Your belief in Allah shall not only remain intact but also grow from strength to strength. iii. You will be able to fulfill your duties and obligations concerning the bounties if Allah has given you sustenance rizq akbar in large quantity in this world.
