رَوَى مُثَنَّى بْنُ اَلْوَلِيدِ اَلْحَنَّاطُ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: "إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ" قُلْتُ مَا أَدْرِي جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ قَالَ "إِذَا هَمَّ بِذَلِكَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدُ اَللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ يَقُولُ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ اَلتَّزْوِيجَ فَقَدِّرْ لِي مِنَ اَلنِّسَاءِ أَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجاً وَ أَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِي فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ مَالِي وَ أَوْسَعَهُنَّ رِزْقاً وَ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ بَرَكَةً وَ قَيِّضْ لِي مِنْهَا وَلَداً طَيِّباً تَجْعَلُهُ لِي خَلَفاً صَالِحاً فِي حَيَاتِي وَ بَعْدَ مَوْتِي".
Muthanna ibn al-Walid al-Hannat narrated from Abu Basir, who said: Abu Abdillah (a.s) said to me: "When one of you intends to get married, what should he do?" I replied: "I do not know, may I be your ransom." Imam (a.s) said: "When he makes up his mind for that, let him perform two units of prayer, praise Allah (swt), the Almighty and Glorious, and say: 'O Allah (swt), I intend marriage, so decree for me from among the women the one who is most chaste in her private parts, best in preserving herself for me, my wealth, and the most abundant in sustenance, and the greatest in blessings. Grant me from her a good offspring whom You (swt) make for me a righteous successor during my life and after my death.'"
