سَأَلْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) مَا مَعْنَى أَجْعَلُ صَلَوَاتِي كُلَّهَا لَكَ فَقَالَ يُقَدِّمُهُ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ كُلِّ حَاجَةٍ فَلَا يَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ شَيْئاً حَتَّى يَبْدَأَ بِالنَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَيُصَلِّيَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ يَسْأَلَ اللَّهَ حَوَائِجَهُ .


Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, from Sayf, from Abu Asama, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘I asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup>, ‘What is the meaning (of the words), ‘I make my <span class="iTxt">Salaw</span>ā<span class="iTxt">t</span>, all of these to be for you<sup>saww</sup>’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘He preceded it in front of every need (asked for). So he does not ask Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic for anything until he begins with the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>. So he sends <span class="iTxt">Salaw</span>ā<span class="iTxt">t</span> upon him<sup>saww</sup>, then he asks Allah<sup>azwj</sup> for his needs’.
