Hadith.1749 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "When you give to them (those in need), teach them to pray for you, for their prayers for you will be answered, though their prayers for themselves may not be."
1749 - وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا أَعْطَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَلَقِّنُوهُمُ اَلدُّعَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيكُمْ وَ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.
