3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Duwayl from Muqatil ibn Muqatil who has said the following
“I said to al-Rida (a.s.), ‘I pray to Allah to keep my soul in service for your cause, teach me a prayer for help in my needs.’ The Imam said, ‘When you need something and want Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, to help you, take a bath and dress up in your cleanest dress, use perfume, go under the open sky and perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer). Begin Salah (prayer) and recite al-Fatihah and then Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran fifteen times. Then kneel down for Ruku‘ and recite chapter 112 of the Holy Quran fifteen times. Thereafter complete this prayer like the Salah (prayer) of Tasbih discussed in Chapter 96 above, except that recitation in this Salah (prayer) is fifteen times. After Salam read Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran fifteen times. Thereafter bow down for sajdah to say, “O Lord, everything, other than You, from Your Throne down to earth if worshipped is false. You are Allah in all truth and clarity. Please grant me such and such wish that I need, in this hour.” Strive to express your prayer as best as you can.”’
3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ دُوَيْلٍ عَنْ مُقَاتِلِ بْنِ مُقَاتِلٍ قَالَ
قُلْتُ لِلرِّضَا (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ عَلِّمْنِي دُعَاءً لِقَضَاءِ الْحَوَائِجِ فَقَالَ إِذَا كَانَتْ لَكَ حَاجَةٌ إِلَى الله عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مُهِمَّةٌ فَاغْتَسِلْ وَالْبَسْ أَنْظَفَ ثِيَابِكَ وَشَمَّ شَيْئاً مِنَ الطِّيبِ ثُمَّ ابْرُزْ تَحْتَ السَّمَاءِ فَصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ تَفْتَتِحُ الصَّلاَةَ فَتَقْرَأُ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ وَقُلْ هُوَ الله أَحَدٌ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تَرْكَعُ فَتَقْرَأُ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تُتِمُّهَا عَلَى مِثَالِ صَلاَةِ التَّسْبِيحِ غَيْرَ أَنَّ الْقِرَاءَةَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً فَإِذَا سَلَّمْتَ فَاقْرَأْهَا خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ تَسْجُدُ فَتَقُولُ فِي سُجُودِكَ اللهمَّ إِنَّ كُلَّ مَعْبُودٍ مِنْ لَدُنْ عَرْشِكَ إِلَى قَرَارِ أَرْضِكَ فَهُوَ بَاطِلٌ سِوَاكَ فَإِنَّكَ أَنْتَ الله الْحَقُّ الْمُبِينُ اقْضِ لِي حَاجَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا السَّاعَةَ السَّاعَةَ وَتُلِحُّ فِيمَا أَرَدْتَ.
