Hadith record

24. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn al-Rayyan from certain individuals of our people who has said the following: “I complained before abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), about an illness in a mother of my child. He told me to tell her to say the following in prostration after completing an obligatory Salah (prayer), ‘O my Lord, O my master, O Allah, grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause, grant me a cure from such and such illness.’ It was because of this that Ja‘far ibn Sulayman was saved from the fire, the Imam explained. The narrator has said that I mentioned this Hadith to certain individuals of our people; he said, ‘I know the following to be as part of this Hadith, “O Lord, O compassionate, O merciful, O my Lord, O my master, grant me my such and such needs.’””
