7. Through the same chain of narrators as the previous Hadith, it is narrated from abu Isma’il al-Sarraj from ibn Muskan from Sharahbil al-Kindiy who has said the following
“Abu la’ far (a.s.), has said that if you want to ask your Lord for something, take Wudu’ properly, perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer), speak of the greatness of Allah. Say, ‘Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause). 5 After Salam say, ‘O Allah, I appeal before You, You are the Owner and the King and have power over all things. You are dominant and whatever You want it comes into existence. O Allah I turn to You through Your prophet, Muhammad, the prophet of mercy. O Muhammad, O Messenger of Allah, I turn to you before Allah, Your Cherisher and my Cherisher so that He makes my wish to come true. O Allah, through Your prophet, Muhammad, make my wish come true. 5 Then ask for your needs.”
7ـ وَبِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنِ ابْنِ مُسْكَانَ عَنْ شُرَحْبِيلَ الْكِنْدِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ
إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَمْراً تَسْأَلُهُ رَبَّكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وَأَحْسِنِ الْوُضُوءَ ثُمَّ صَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَعَظِّمِ الله وَصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَقُلْ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِأَنَّكَ مَلِكٌ وَأَنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ مُقْتَدِرٌ وَبِأَنَّكَ مَا تَشَاءُ مِنْ أَمْرٍ يَكُونُ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ مُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيِّ الرَّحْمَةِ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) يَا مُحَمَّدُ يَا رَسُولَ الله إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ بِكَ إِلَى الله رَبِّكَ وَرَبِّي لِيُنْجِحَ لِي طَلِبَتِي اللهمَّ بِنَبِيِّكَ أَنْجِحْ لِي طَلِبَتِي بِمُحَمَّدٍ ثُمَّ سَلْ حَاجَتَكَ.
