Four supplications in exchange for four dirhams
Sayyiduna Mansoor Bin ‘Ammar عَـلَـیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـغَـفَّـار once, whilst giving a lecture mentioned that a deserving person begged for four dirhams, and whoever gives this beggar four dirhams he رَحْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالٰی عَلَيْه would make four Du’as for him. At that moment a slave was passing by, he stopped when he heard this blessed voice full of grace. He had four dirhams with him which he presented to the beggar. Sayyiduna Mansoor عَـلَـیۡهِ رَحۡـمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ الۡـغَـفُـوۡر asked him, ‘Which four supplications do you want to be made?’ He said:
1. I want a freedom from slavery.
I want to be compensated for these dirhams.
My master and I be blessed with repentance.
