Hadith.963 - Zurarah reported that he heard Abu Ja'far (as) say: "Supplication after the obligatory prayer is better than offering a voluntary prayer." And thus, this has been the practice.

Hadith.966 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "Sitting after the dawn (Fajr) prayer in contemplation (ta'qeeb) and supplication until the sun rises is more effective in seeking sustenance than striving to earn it through labor on the earth”.
