20. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Idris have narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Sulayman ibn Hafs al-Marwaziy who has said the following: “The man (a.s.), wrote to me the following: ’During sajdah when expressing thanks to Allah say, “Shukran” one hundred times - or if you wanted - say “’Afwan ‘Afwan.’””

21ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ سَبَقَتْ أَصَابِعُهُ لِسَانَهُ حُسِبَ لَهُ.

21. Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad through his chain of narrators from Sama‘ah ibn Mehran who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whoever’ s fingers may move faster than his tongue it is counted in his favor (according to the movement of the former).”’

22ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعِجْلِيِّ مَوْلَى أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ ثَلاَثٌ أُعْطِينَ سَمْعَ الْخَلاَئِقِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ وَالْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الْعَبْدُ وَقَالَ اللهمَّ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَزَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهُ مِنِّي فَأَعْتِقْهُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ إِيَّايَ فَأَسْكِنْهُ فِيَّ وَقَالَتِ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَزَوِّجْهُ مِنَّا فَإِنْ هُوَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلِ الله شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ قُلْنَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِينَا لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَجَاهِلٌ.

22. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud al-‘Ijliy Mawla’ of abu al- Mighra’ who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Three things are given the power to hear creatures. They are paradise, the fire and al-Hur al-‘Ayn. When a servant of Allah completes his Salah (prayer) then pleads and says, “O Lord, set me free from the fire, admit me in paradise and join me as a pair with al-Hur al-‘Ayn.” The fire then says, “O Lord, Your servant has pleaded before You to set him free from me, so please set him free.” Paradise will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to You to make me his dwelling so please make his wish to come true.” Al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to be joined in pairs with us so please make his wish to come true.” But if he goes away after completing his Salah (prayer) without praying to Allah for any of these things, al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “This servant of Allah has abstained from being joined in pairs with us.” Paradise will say, “This servant has abstained from praying to live in me.” The fire will say, “This servant is ignorant about me.’””

23ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) دُعَاءً يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ تُصَلِّيهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ بِكَ دَاءٌ مِنْ سَقَمٍ وَوَجَعٍ فَإِذَا قَضَيْتَ صَلاَتَكَ فَامْسَحْ بِيَدِكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِكَ مِنَ الأرْضِ وَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَأَمِرَّ بِيَدِكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ وَجَعِكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ تَقُولُ يَا مَنْ كَبَسَ الأرْضَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَسَدَّ الْهَوَاءَ بِالسَّمَاءِ وَاخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَحْسَنَ الأسْمَاءِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَافْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَارْزُقْنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَعَافِنِي مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا.

23. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated in a marfu‘ manner a prayer that can be said after every Salah (prayer): “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if one has an illness or pain somewhere in his body he, after completing a Salah (prayer), should touch the place of his sajdah with his hand. He should say this prayer and wipe, seven times, on the painful or ailing part of his body. “( O Lord, it is You ), O the One who has pressed the earth upon the water, held the air in the sky, chosen for Himself the most beautiful names. - Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad, (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause), - please make my such and such wishes to come true and grant me good health in such and such conditions.’””

24ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَجَرَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَمْسَحُ بِيَدِكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى جَبْهَتِكَ وَوَجْهِكَ فِي دُبُرِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالصَّلَوَاتِ وَتَقُولُ بِسْمِ الله الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَالسُّقْمِ وَالْعُدْمِ وَالصَّغَارِ وَالذُّلِّ وَالْفَوَاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ.

24. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from abu ’Isma‘il al-Sarraj from Ali ibn Shajarah from Muhammad ibn Marwan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Wipe with your right hand your forehead after Maghrib Salah (prayer) after sunset and other Salawat (prayers) and say, “In the name of Allah besides whom no one deserves to be worshipped. He has the knowledge of the unseen and seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Lord, I seek refuge with You against anxiety, sadness, illness, deficiencies, lowliness, humiliation and the apparent and concealed indecencies.’””

25ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ التَّسْبِيحِ فَقَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ شَيْئاً مَوْقُوفاً غَيْرَ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَعَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ بَعْدَ الْغَدَاةِ تَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يُسَبِّحُ مَا شَاءَ تَطَوُّعاً.

25. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about Tasbih. The Imam replied, T do not know of any Tasbih in a prescribed manner except Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, and to say ten times after the morning, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone Who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom and He deserves all praise. He gives life and causes death, causes death and gives life. In His hand is all good and He has power over all things,” but one may say as many Tasbih as one likes.’”

26. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Abd al-Malik al-Qummiy from Idris his brother who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘When you complete your Salah (prayer) say this. “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You under Your guardianship, the guardianship of Your messenger and the guardianship of ’A’immah, the first to the last Imam. . .” You should mention the name of each Imam. Then say, “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You and under their guardianship. I am happy for the excellence that You have granted them without being arrogant or assuming arrogance against what You have revealed in Your book in the form of that which is reached to us as well as what is not reached us. I believe, affirm and submit to such facts. I am happy with that with which You are happy, O Lord. I seek thereby Your happiness and the eternal living in the next life. I am fearful and I desire to be ( acceptable) before You. Give me life as long as You will with this (belief), cause me to die with it (belief) when You cause me to die and raise me when You raise me with it (belief). If I may have had shortcomings in the past, I repent before You and I desire to come before You for the bounties You own. I plead before You to protect me against disobedience to You and do not leave me to myself for a blinking of an eye as long as You keep me living, no less or more than such time. The soul motivates toward evil, except those whom You through Your mercy protect, 0 Most Merciful, Most Beneficent. I plead before You to protect me with (my) obedience to You until I die with it (belief in and obedience to You) when You are happy with me and make my life end up with salvation. Please do not ever turn me away from it (salvation); there is no power without You.”’”

27ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْوَشَّاءِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ لاَ تَدَعْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِالله الْوَاحِدِ الصَّمَدِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَأُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَأُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا.

27. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Muhammad al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), saying, ‘Do not go away before saying the following after every Salah (prayer). “I seek protection for myself and whatever my Lord has given me from Allah, the only One self-sufficient, who does not have any children, nor Himself is anyone’s child and there is no one like Him.” (Chapter 112 of Holy Quran) “I seek protection for myself and for whatever my Lord has given me from the Lord who has brought about the opening, against whatever evil He has created, against the evil of incoming darkness, the evil of those who perform magic and against the ill desires of envious ones.” (Chapter 113 of the Holy Quran). “I seek protection for myself and for whatever my Lord has given me with the Lord of the people, the owner of the people, the Lord of the people against the evil temptation of al-Khannas, who incites the heart of people, in the form of Jinn and man.’” (Chapter 114 of the Holy Quran).

28ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ قَالَ كَتَبَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) إِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا سَيِّدِي أَنْ تُعَلِّمَنِي دُعَاءً أَدْعُو بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ صَلَوَاتِي يَجْمَعُ الله لِي بِهِ خَيْرَ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ فَكَتَبَ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) تَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِوَجْهِكَ الْكَرِيمِ وَعِزَّتِكَ الَّتِي لاَ تُرَامُ وَقُدْرَتِكَ الَّتِي لاَ يَمْتَنِعُ مِنْهَا شَيْ‏ءٌ مِنْ شَرِّ الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمِنْ شَرِّ الأوْجَاعِ كُلِّهَا.

28. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Ali ibn Mahziyar who has said the following: “Muhammad ibn Ibrahim wrote to abu al-Hassan (a.s.), ‘My master, if you deem it proper, teach me a prayer that I can read after every Salah (prayer) so Allah will grant me good, both in this and the next life.’ The Imam wrote to him, ’Say, O Lord, I seek refuge with Your gracious presence, Your unassailable majesty and Your unstoppable power, against the evil of this world as well as those in the next life and against the misfortune of all illnesses.” (The following chapters are best explained by fatwa.)

1ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنِ ابْنِ بُكَيْرٍ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ سَأَلْتُهُ عَنْ رَجُلٍ صَلَّى الْفَرِيضَةَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ وَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ مِنَ السَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ مِنَ الرَّكْعَةِ الرَّابِعَةِ أَحْدَثَ فَقَالَ أَمَّا صَلاَتُهُ فَقَدْ مَضَتْ وَبَقِيَ التَّشَهُّدُ وَإِنَّمَا التَّشَهُّدُ سُنَّةٌ فِي الصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَتَوَضَّأْ وَلْيَعُدْ إِلَى مَجْلِسِهِ أَوْ مَكَانٍ نَظِيفٍ فَيَتَشَهَّدْ.

1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ibn Bukayr from ‘Ubayd ibn Zurarah who has said the following: “I once asked abu ’Abd Allah (a.s.), about a man who performs obligatory Salah (prayer) but when he raises his head from the second Sajdah (prostration) of the fourth Rak’at his Wudu’ becomes invalid. He (the Imam) said, ’His Salah (prayer) is ended; what remains is Tashahhud (testimonies of belief). Tashahhud (testimonies of belief) is Sunnah (a tradition) in Salah (prayer). He takes wudu,’ returns to his place or a clean place to say Tashahhud (testimonies of belief).”’
