إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَكُونُ لَهُ الْحَاجَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَيَبْدَأُ بِالثَّنَاءِ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَ الصَّلَاةِ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَ آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ حَتَّى يَنْسَى حَاجَتَهُ فَيَقْضِيهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ إِيَّاهَا .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Muhammad Bin Ismail, from Mansour Bin Yunus, from Haroun Bin Kharjat, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘The servant happens to have the need for him to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic. So he begins with the Laudation upon Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and the <span class="iTxt">Salaw</span>ā<span class="iTxt">t</span> upon Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> and the Progeny<sup>asws</sup> of Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> until he forgets his need. So Allah<sup>azwj</sup> would Fulfil it for him from without him having asked Him<sup>azwj</sup> for it’.
