فِي الْأَمْرِ يَطْلُبُهُ الطَّالِبُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ قَالَ تَصَدَّقْ فِي يَوْمِكَ عَلَى سِتِّينَ مِسْكِيناً عَلَى كُلِّ مِسْكِينٍ صَاعٌ بِصَاعِ النَّبِيِّ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) فَإِذَا كَانَ اللَّيْلُ اغْتَسَلْتَ فِي الثُّلُثِ الْبَاقِي وَ لَبِسْتَ أَدْنَى مَا يَلْبَسُ مَنْ تَعُولُ مِنَ الثِّيَابِ إِلَّا أَنَّ عَلَيْكَ فِي تِلْكَ الثِّيَابِ إِزَاراً ثُمَّ تُصَلِّي رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَإِذَا وَضَعْتَ جَبْهَتَكَ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأَخِيرِ لِلسُّجُودِ هَلَّلْتَ اللَّهَ وَ عَظَّمْتَهُ وَ قَدَّسْتَهُ وَ مَجَّدْتَهُ وَ ذَكَرْتَ ذُنُوبَكَ فَأَقْرَرْتَ بِمَا تَعْرِفُ مِنْهَا مُسَمًّى ثُمَّ رَفَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ ثُمَّ إِذَا وَضَعْتَ رَأْسَكَ لِلسَّجْدَةِ الثَّانِيَةِ اسْتَخَرْتَ اللَّهَ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ ثُمَّ تَدْعُو اللَّهَ بِمَا شِئْتَ وَ تَسْأَلُهُ إِيَّاهُ وَ كُلَّمَا سَجَدْتَ فَأَفْضِ بِرُكْبَتَيْكَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ ثُمَّ تَرْفَعُ الْإِزَارَ حَتَّى تَكْشِفَهُمَا وَ اجْعَلِ الْإِزَارَ مِنْ خَلْفِكَ بَيْنَ أَلْيَتَيْكَ وَ بَاطِنِ سَاقَيْكَ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad and Abu Dawood, from Al-Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Muawiya Bin Wahab, from Zurara, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said regarding the matter sought by the seeker, from his Lord<sup>azwj</sup>, said: ‘Give charity during your day upon sixty poor ones, upon each poor one being one Sa’a (approx. 3kg.) of the Sa’a of the Prophet<sup>saww</sup>. So when it is the night-time, what during the remaining third (of the night) and wear the least one can wear from the clothes except that upon you, from those clothes, should be a loin cloth. Then you should pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>. So when you place your forehead during the last Rak’at for the <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, you should Extol Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, and His<sup>azwj</sup> Magnificence, and His<sup>azwj</sup> Holiness, and His<sup>azwj</sup> Glory, and mention your sins, and acknowledge with what you recognise from these, specifically, then raise your head. When you place your head for the second <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, seek the Choice of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> one hundred times, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I seek Your<sup>saww</sup> Choice’. Then supplicate to Allah<sup>azwj</sup> with whatever you so desire to, and ask Him<sup>azwj</sup> of it; and every time you perform <span class="iTxt">Sajdah</span>, so expose your knees to touch the ground, and secure the loincloth from behind between his legs’.
