Sayyiduna Abu Sa'eed al-Khudriy (Radhiallaahu Anhu) reports that once Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) entered the Musjid and found an Ansaari Sahaabi by the name of Abu Umaamah (Radhiallaahu Anhu). Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) enquired of him, 'Why do I see you in the Musjid at a time when there is no Salaat?' He replied, 'Oh Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam)! I have a lot of debts and many worries. ' Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) replied, 'should I not teach you something if you recite it, Allah will remove your worries and fulfil your debts? Say every morning and evening, 'O Allah! Certainly, I seek refuge in you from concern and grief and I seek refuge in you from inability and laziness, and I seek refuge in you from cowardice and miserliness and I seek refuge in you from the overpowering of debts and from the subjection of man. ' That Sahaabi says, 'I did so and Allah removed my worries and fulfilled my debts.' (Sunan Abu Dawud Hadith1550 vol.2 pg.308 - 309)

Al-shawkani states that 'there is no defect in its chain of narrators'. (Tuhfatuz zaakireen pg.110)
