وَ قَالَ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا أَعْطَيْتُمُوهُمْ فَلَقِّنُوهُمُ اَلدُّعَاءَ فَإِنَّهُ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِيكُمْ وَ لاَ يُسْتَجَابُ لَهُمْ فِي أَنْفُسِهِمْ.

Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (a.s) said: "When you give to them (those in need), teach them to pray for you, for their prayers for you will be answered, though their prayers for themselves may not be."
