Al-Kafi 3371

Translation

Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Ibn Abu Umeyr who said, ‘Abu Ja’far Al Shamy narrated to me saying, ‘A man called Hilqam Bin Abu Hilqam narrated to me at Syria saying, ‘I went over to Abu Ibrahim^asws (7^th Imam^asws), and I said to him^asws, ‘Teach me a comprehensive supplication for the world and the Hereafter, and be brief’. So he^asws said: ‘Say at the end of Al-Fajr (<span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>) up to the emergence of the sun, ‘Glorious is Allah^azwj the Magnificent, and by His^azwj Praise I seek Forgiveness of Allah^azwj, and I ask Him^azwj from His^azwj Grace’’. Hilqam (the narrator) said, ‘I had been in an evil state from my family members, until (one day) there came to me, an inheritance from a man who I did not think there was any relationship between me and him, and today I am from the most affluential people of my family, and that was not except due to what was taught to me by my Master<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>, Al-Abd Al-Salih<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> (7<sup style="font-weight: normal">th</sup> Imam<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup>)’.
