Abu Abdillah (as) said to me: "When one of you intends to get married, what should he do?" I replied: "I do not know, may I be your ransom." Imam (as) said: "When he makes up his mind for that, let him perform two units of prayer, praise Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, and say: 'O Allah (swt), I intend marriage, so decree for me from among the women the one who is most chaste in her private parts, best in preserving herself for me, my wealth, and the most abundant in sustenance, and the greatest in blessings. Grant me from her a good offspring whom You (swt) make for me a righteous successor during my life and after my death.'"
