Hadith.1542 - Murazim narrated from the pious servant Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as), who said
"If you are afflicted with a grave matter, give charity during the day to sixty needy people, with each receiving half a sa' of the Prophet’s (sw) measure from dates, wheat, or barley. At night, during the last third of the night, perform a ritual bath (ghusl), then wear the simplest clothing that one in your care wears, but ensure you have a waist wrapper on. Pray two units of prayer (rak'ahs) in which you recite Surah Al-Ikhlas (the Unity) and ‘Qul ya-ayyuhal kaafirun’ (Surah al-Kafirun). When you place your forehead on the ground in the last rak’as prostration, glorify, sanctify, and praise Allah (swt), then remember your sins, confessing by name what you know and generally admitting what you do not know. Raise your head, and when you place your forehead on the second prostration, seek Allah’s (swt) guidance 100 times, saying, 'O’ Allah (swt), I seek Your guidance by Your knowledge.' Then invoke Allah (swt) with whatever of His names you wish, saying, 'O’ One who existed before all things, O’ Creator of all things, O’ One who remains after all things, do for me such-and-such.' In every prostration, lower your knees to the ground and lift your waist wrapper, exposing them. Place the wrapper behind you between your buttocks and thighs. I hope that your need will be fulfilled, Allah (swt) willing. Begin with prayers upon the Prophet and his household, may Allah’s (swt) blessings be upon them all."
