5. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Muhammad ibn Kurdus who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one cleanses himself (takes Wudu’ or bath), then goes to bed for the night, his bed is considered a Masjid. If he wakes up during the night and speaks of Allah, his sins scatter away from him. One who may get up toward the end of the night, cleanse himself (take Wudu’ or bath), perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer), praise Allah and speak of His glory. If then says, “Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family compensation worthy of their serving Your cause).” The wishes he asks for are given to him in substance or are saved for him in a better form.’”

6. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from through his chain of narrators who has said the following: “One of the ’A’immah about the words of Allah, ‘An initiation (for Salah (prayer) is of a stronger impression’ (73:6), the Imam has said, ‘It is the two Rak‘at Salah (prayer) after Maghrib (Salah (prayer) soon after sunset). In the first Rak‘at read al-Fatihah and ten verses from the beginning of Chapter 2, verse 54 of Chapter 7, verses 153-154 of Chapter 2 and 15 times Chapter 112. In the second Rak‘at after al-Fatihah read verses 255- 257, then verses 284 - 286 of Chapter 2 and 15 times Chapter 112 of the Holy Quran. Then ask for your wishes as you like. If one maintains this practice a reward of six hundred thousand Hajj will be given to him.’”
