قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) إِذَا تَزَوَّجَ أَحَدُكُمْ كَيْفَ يَصْنَعُ قُلْتُ لَا أَدْرِي قَالَ إِذَا هَمَّ بِذَلِكَ فَلْيُصَلِّ رَكْعَتَيْنِ وَ يَحْمَدُ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَتَزَوَّجَ فَقَدِّرْ لِي مِنَ النِّسَاءِ أَعَفَّهُنَّ فَرْجاً وَ أَحْفَظَهُنَّ لِي فِي نَفْسِهَا وَ فِي مَالِي وَ أَوْسَعَهُنَّ رِزْقاً وَ أَعْظَمَهُنَّ بَرَكَةً وَ قَدِّرْ لِي وَلَداً طَيِّباً تَجْعَلُهُ خَلَفاً صَالِحاً فِي حَيَاتِي وَ بَعْدَ مَمَاتِي .
Translation
And by this chain, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al-Qasim Bin Yahya, from his grandfather Al-Hassan Bin Rashid, from Abu Baseer who said, ‘Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> said to me: ‘Whenever one of you (wants to) gets married how does he do it?’ I said, ‘I don’t know’. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘When he thinks of that, so let him pray two Rak’at of <span class="iTxt">Salāt</span>, and he should Praise Allah<sup>azwj</sup>, then he should be saying, ‘O Allah<sup>azwj</sup>! I intend to get married, so Ordain for me from the women, the one who is the most preserving of her private part, and the most protective for me with regards to herself, and regarding my wealth, and one of extensive sustenance, and the greatest of Blessings; and Ordain for me a good child making him to be a righteous successor during my lifetime and after my death’.
