35. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn Sinan from Isma’Il ibn Jabir from ‘Ubaydah al-Hadhdha’ who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever says before dawn, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the kingdom and all praise, He gives life, causes death, causes death and gives life. He is living and does not die, in His hand is all good and He has power over all things,” ten times and says, ‘O Lord, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family,’ ten times, and says, ‘Allah is free of all defects,’ thirty-five times, ‘No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah,’ thirty- five times, ‘All praise belongs to Allah,’ thirty-five times, he will not be written that morning among the careless ones and if he says this in the evening, he will not be written of the careless ones in that night.’”

36. Muhammad ibn Yahya narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa, from al-Husayn ibn Sa'id that Muhammad ibn al-Fudayl said: "I wrote to Abu Ja'far al-Thani (al-Jawad) (as) asking him to teach me a supplication. He wrote back to me saying, 'When you wake up in the morning and when you enter the evening, say: 'Allah, Allah, Allah, my Lord, the Merciful, the Compassionate. I do not associate anything with Him.' And if you add to that, it is better. Then supplicate for what you desire, and it will be for you, with the permission of Allah, the Exalted. Allah does whatever He wills.'"

37. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Ahmad ibn Ishaq from Su’Dan from Dawud al-Raqqi from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Do not miss saying in the morning and in the evening three times this, ‘O Lord, place me in Your strong coat of arms in which You place whomever You will’; my father would say that this is of the prayer that is treasured.’”

Ali ibn Muhammad narrated from some of his companions, from Muhammad ibn Sinan, from Abu Sa'id al-Mukhari that Abu Hamza (al-Thumali) asked Abu Ja'far (al-Baqir) (as), "What is the meaning of His words: 'And Ibrahim who fulfilled [his duties].'" (53:37) He said, "Eloquent words that he would say often." I asked, "What were they?". He said, "Whenever he would wake up in the morning, he would say three times: 'I have awakened, and by my Lord, all praise is due to Him, I do not associate anything with Allah, nor do I call upon any god besides Him, nor do I take anyone other than Him as a protector.' And when evening came, he would say it three times as well.' So Allah, the Almighty, revealed in His book this verse." I then asked, "Then what about His words regarding Nuh (as): 'Indeed, he was a grateful servant.' (17:3) He said, "Eloquent words that he would say often." I asked, "What are they?". He said, "Whenever he would wake up in the morning, he would say three times: 'I testify that there is no blessing or well-being that I wake up to, in religion or in the world, except from You alone, there is no partner for You, so to You is all praise for that and abundant thanks.' He used to say it three times in the morning and three times in the evening." I then asked, "What about His words regarding Yahya (as): '[We gave him] affection from us and purity, and he was God-fearing.'" (19:13) He said, "Allah showed compassion." I asked, "How much of Allah's compassion did he receive?". He said, "Whenever he called out 'Ya Rabb', Allah (swt) would respond with, 'Labayka Ya Yahya'.
