كَانَ أَبِي إِذَا طَلَبَ الْحَاجَةَ طَلَبَهَا عِنْدَ زَوَالِ الشَّمْسِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ ذَلِكَ قَدَّمَ شَيْئاً فَتَصَدَّقَ بِهِ وَ شَمَّ شَيْئاً مِنْ طِيبٍ وَ رَاحَ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَ دَعَا فِي حَاجَتِهِ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ .
Translation
Al Husayn Bin Muhammad, from Ahmad Bin Is’haq, from Sa’dan Bin Muslim, from Muawiya Bin Ammar, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘It was so that whenever my<sup>asws</sup> father<sup>asws</sup> sought the need, sought it during the decline of the sun (at midday). So whenever he<sup>asws</sup> intended that, he<sup>asws</sup> preceded it with something and gave it in charity with it, and smelt something from the perfume, and went to the Masjid and supplicated regarding his<sup>asws</sup> need with whatever he<sup>asws</sup> so desired to’.
