Hadith 1845
۞
6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Hadid from Murazim who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said to me, ‘If one of you may think of doing something, he should perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer), then praise Allah, speak of His greatness and say, “Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause).” Thereafter say, “O Lord, if this matter is good for my religion and worldly matters, please make it possible for me with ease; and if it is otherwise, keep it away from me.’” I then asked, ‘What should I read in the two Rak‘at Salah (prayer)?’ The Imam replied, ‘You may read whatever you like. You can read Chapter 112 or 109.’”
6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مُرَازِمٍ قَالَ
قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِذَا أَرَادَ أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئاً فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ لْيَحْمَدِ الله وَلْيُثْنِ عَلَيْهِ وَلْيُصَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَيَقُولُ اللهمَّ إِنْ كَانَ هَذَا الأمْرُ خَيْراً لِي فِي دِينِي وَدُنْيَايَ فَيَسِّرْهُ لِي وَاقْدِرْهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي فَسَأَلْتُهُ أَيَّ شَيْءٍ أَقْرَأُ فِيهِمَا فَقَالَ اقْرَأْ فِيهِمَا مَا شِئْتَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ قَرَأْتَ فِيهِمَا قُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ وَقُلْ يَا أَيُّهَا الْكَافِرُونَ.
