Al-Kafi 5052

Translation

Ali Bin Muhammad, from one of our companions, from Ibn Abu Umeyr, from Ziyad Al Qindy who said, ‘I wrote to Abu Al-Hassan^asws the 1^st, ‘Teach me a supplication, for I have been afflicted with something’ – and he had been imprisoned in Baghdad where he was accused of their wealth. So he^asws wrote to him: ‘Whenever you pray <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, so prolong your <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, then say, ‘O One for Whom there is no one’, until you run out of breath. Then say, ‘O One Who is not increased by the frequency of the supplications except with more benevolence and Generousity’, until you run out of breath. Then say, ‘O Lord^azwj of the lords! You^azwj! You^azwj! You^azwj are the One. I have cut-off my hopes except from You^azwj. O Exalted! O Magnificent!’. Ziyad said, ‘So I supplicated with it, So Allah^azwj Relieved it from me and Freed my way’.
