Hadith record

14. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad and Ahmad ibn Muhammad and Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father all from al-Hassan ibn Mahbub from Malik ibn ‘Atiyyah from abu Hamza al-Thumali from abu Ja’far (a.s.) who has said the following: “Whoever says in the morning before sunrise, ‘Allah is greater than can be described, Allah is greater than can be described, the Most Great. I glorify Allah in the morning and in the evening, all praise belongs to Allah, Lord of the worlds, a great deal of praise. He has no partners. O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family,’ an angle will rush to take it (prayer) in his wing and ascend to heavens above this world and the angels will ask, “What is with you?” He will say, ‘With me there are the words that a believing servant (of Allah) has said and they are such and such.’ The angels will say, “May Allah grant favors upon the one who has said these words and forgive him.” The Imam said, ‘Through every heaven that he will pass he will say the same thing that he had said to those in the first heaven and they will say, “May Allah grant favors upon the one who has said these words and forgive him,” until he arrives near the carriers of the Throne and he will say to them, ‘With me there are the words that a believing servant (of Allah) has said and they are such and such,’ and they will say, “May Allah grant favors to this servant and forgive him, move on to the keepers of the treasures of the sayings of the believing people. These are the words of the treasure so they will write them down in record of the treasures.’”
