حَضَرْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ أَخِي بِهِ بَلِيَّةٌ أَسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَذْكُرَهَا فَقَالَ لَهُ اسْتُرْ ذَلِكَ وَ قُلْ لَهُ يَصُومُ يَوْمَ الْأَرْبِعَاءِ وَ الْخَمِيسِ وَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَ يَخْرُجُ إِذَا زَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ وَ يَلْبَسُ ثَوْبَيْنِ إِمَّا جَدِيدَيْنِ وَ إِمَّا غَسِيلَيْنِ حَيْثُ لَا يَرَاهُ أَحَدٌ فَيُصَلِّي وَ يَكْشِفُ عَنْ رُكْبَتَيْهِ وَ يَتَمَطَّى بِرَاحَتَيْهِ الْأَرْضَ وَ جَنْبَيْهِ وَ يَقْرَأُ فِي صَلَاتِهِ فَاتِحَةَ الْكِتَابِ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ فَإِذَا رَكَعَ قَرَأَ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ مَرَّةً قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ فَإِذَا سَجَدَ قَرَأَهَا عَشْراً فَإِذَا رَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَسْجُدَ قَرَأَهَا عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً يُصَلِّي أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ عَلَى مِثْلِ هَذَا فَإِذَا فَرَغَ مِنَ التَّشَهُّدِ قَالَ. يَا مَعْرُوفاً بِالْمَعْرُوفِ يَا أَوَّلَ الْأَوَّلِينَ يَا آخِرَ الْآخِرِينَ يَا ذَا الْقُوَّةِ الْمَتِينِ يَا رَازِقَ الْمَسَاكِينِ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ إِنِّي اشْتَرَيْتُ نَفْسِي مِنْكَ بِثُلُثِ مَا أَمْلِكُ فَاصْرِفْ عَنِّي شَرَّ مَا ابْتُلِيتُ بِهِ إِنَّكَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Abu Ali Al-Khazzaz who said, ‘I was present with Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> and a man came over to him, so he said to him<sup>asws</sup>, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! My brother suffers from something taht I feel embarrassed to mention’. So he<sup>asws</sup> said to him: ‘Conceal that and say to him that he should be Fasting on the day of Wednesday and the Thursday, and the Friday; and he should go out, when the sun (starts to) decline) and he should be wearing two clothes, either both being new ones or both being washed, where no one can see him. Then he should pray and uncover from his knees and stretch his palms and his forehead upon the ground, and he should recite in his <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, the Opening of the Book (Chapter 1), ten times, and <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:112#h1"><a href="/books/quran:112#h1">[112:1]</a></a> Say He Allah is One</span> (Chapter 112) ten times. So when he performs <span class="iTxt">Rukū</span>, he should recite fifteen times <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:112#h1"><a href="/books/quran:112#h1">[112:1]</a></a> Say He Allah is One</span> (Chapter 112), and when he performs <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, he should recite it ten (times). So when he raises his head after his <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, he should recite it twenty times. He should pray four Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span> upon the likes of this. So when he is free from the <span class="iTxt">Tashahhud</span>, he says, ‘O the One Well-Known with the Fame! O the First of the former ones! O Last of the later ones! O the One with the Robust Strength! O the Sustainer of the poor ones! O the most Merciful of the merciful ones! I have bought myself from You<sup>azwj</sup> with one-third of what I own, so Exchange from me the evil what I am afflicted with. You<sup>azwj</sup> are Able upon everything’.
