Hadith.1554 - Hammad ibn Isa narrated from Najiyah, from Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) that "
Whenever He (as) intended to purchase a servant, an animal, or a light matter, or something of little importance, he would perform istikhara (seek Allah’s (swt) guidance) seven times. But if it was a serious matter, he would perform istikhara one hundred times”.
1554 - وَ رَوَى حَمَّادُ بْنُ عِيسَى عَنْ نَاجِيَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ
«أَنَّهُ كَانَ إِذَا أَرَادَ شِرَاءَ اَلْعَبْدِ أَوِ اَلدَّابَّةِ أَوِ اَلْحَاجَةَ اَلْخَفِيفَةَ أَوِ اَلشَّيْءَ اَلْيَسِيرَ اِسْتَخَارَ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِيهِ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا كَانَ أَمْراً جَسِيماً اِسْتَخَارَ اَللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ.
