Al-Kafi 3357

Translation

Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhamad Bin Isa, from Ali Bin Al Nu’man, from one of his companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah^asws having said: ‘It was so that Amir Al-<span class="iTxt">Momin</span>een^asws was saying: ‘The one who says these words would be with Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, when he stands before beginning the <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, ‘O Allah^azwj! I divert towards You^azwj by Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww, and I^asws advance them^asws in front of me in my <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, and I come closer by them^asws to You^azwj, therefore Make me, by them^asws, to be dignified in the world and the Hereafter, and to be from the ones of Proximity. You^azwj have Favoured upon me with their^asws recognition, therefore Conclude me to be in their^asws obedience, and their^asws recognition, and their^asws <span class="iTxt">Wilyah</span>, for it is the happiness, and Conclude me to be with it, for You^azwj are Able upon everything’. Then you should pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. So when you finish, say, ‘O Allah^azwj! Make me to be with Muhammad^saww and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww in every well-being and affliction, and Make me to be with Muhammad^azwj and the Progeny^asws of Muhammad^saww in every lodgement and transfer. O Allah^azwj! Make my life to be (like) their^asws living, and my death to be (like) their^asws passing away, and Make me to be with them^asws in all the places, and not do Make a separation to be between me and them^asws. You^azwj are Able upon every thing’.
