قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا مِنْ رَهْطٍ أَرْبَعِينَ رَجُلًا اجْتَمَعُوا فَدَعَوُا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي أَمْرٍ إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أَرْبَعِينَ فَأَرْبَعَةٌ يَدْعُونَ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ إِلَّا اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُمْ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُونُوا أَرْبَعَةً فَوَاحِدٌ يَدْعُو اللَّهَ أَرْبَعِينَ مَرَّةً فَيَسْتَجِيبُ اللَّهُ الْعَزِيزُ الْجَبَّارُ لَهُ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ali Bin Ma’bad, from Ubeydullah Bin Abdullah Al Wasity, from Dorost Bin Abu Mansour, from Abu Khalid who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is none from a group of forty men gathering, supplicating to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic regarding a (particular) matter, except that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Answer for them. So if there do not happen to be forty men, so (a group of) four supplicating to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic ten times, except that Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Answer for them. So if there do not happen to be four, so one individual supplicating to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> forty times, so Allah<sup>azwj</sup> the Mighty, the Compeller would Answer for him’.
