قَالَ لِي يَا فُلَانُ أَ مَا تَغْدُو فِي الْحَاجَةِ أَ مَا تَمُرُّ بِالْمَسْجِدِ الْأَعْظَمِ عِنْدَكُمْ بِالْكُوفَةِ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَصَلِّ فِيهِ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ قُلْ فِيهِنَّ غَدَوْتُ بِحَوْلِ اللَّهِ وَ قُوَّتِهِ غَدَوْتُ بِغَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَ لَا قُوَّةٍ وَ لَكِنْ بِحَوْلِكَ يَا رَبِّ وَ قُوَّتِكَ أَسْأَلُكَ بَرَكَةَ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَ بَرَكَةَ أَهْلِهِ وَ أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَرْزُقَنِي مِنْ فَضْلِكَ حَلَالًا طَيِّباً تَسُوقُهُ إِلَيَّ بِحَوْلِكَ وَ قُوَّتِكَ وَ أَنَا خَافِضٌ فِي عَافِيَتِكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Al-Barqy, from his father, from Safwan Bin Yahya, from Muhammad Bin Al-Hassan Al-Attar, from a man from our companions, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said to me: ‘O so and so! Do you not come regarding the need? Do you not pass by the great (central) Masjid with you in Al-Kufa?’ I said, ‘Yes’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘So pray four Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> in it, saying in these, ‘I come with the Might of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> and His<sup>azwj</sup> Strength, without any might from me, nor strength, but with Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty, O Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Strength. I ask for Blessings of this day and Blessings of its people; and I ask You<sup>azwj</sup> if You<sup>azwj</sup> could (Grant) sustenance to me from Your<sup>azwj</sup> Grace, Permissible, goodly, being ushered towards me with Your<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Your<sup>azwj</sup> Strength, and I am free from anxiety in Your<sup>azwj</sup> well-being’.
