ref. Q2577, please provide the source of the Hadith and the meaning of the Arabic Du’aa to become debt-free.

This Hadith has been recorded by Imaam Tabrani in his Mu'jamul Kabeer. (See Majmauz Zawaaid vol.10 pg.186).

Imam Tabrani has also narrated this Du'aa through the narration of Sayyiduna Anas (Radhiallaahu Anhu) that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) taught this Du'aa to Sayyidunaa Mu'aadh (Radhiallaahu Anhu). This is in his Mu'jamus sagheer. Imaam Haythami (RA) said regarding it, 'Its narrators are all reliable.' (Ibid)

Translation: Say (O Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)): O Allah! possessor of the kingdom, You give the kingdom to whom You will, and You take the kingdom from whom You will, and You endue with honour whom You will. In Your Hand is the good. Verily, You are Able to do all things. You make the night to enter into the day, and You make the day to enter into the night (i.e. increase and decrease in the hours of the night and the day during witner and summer), You bring the living out of the dead, and You bring the dead out of the living. And You give wealth and sustenance to whom You will, without limit (measure or account). O You Most Merciful of this world and the Hereafter, You give from them whatever You wish and You derive whomsoever You wish. Shower upon me such a mercy which will make me independent from the mercy of those besides You.'
