1.  It  is  narrated  that  Ali  (a.s.)  used  to  recite  this  blessed supplication during the first ten days of Zilhajj. He used to say that if one recites the supplication: ‘Laa ilaaha illallaahu a’dadal  layaalee  wadduhoori  laa  ilaaha  illallaahu  a’dada amwaajil   buh’oori   laa   ilaaha   illallaahu   wa   rah’matuhu khairum    mimmaa    yaj-maoo’na    laa    ilaaha    illallaahu a’dadash shauki wash shajari laa ilaaha illallaaha illallaahu a’dadash  sha’ri  wal  wabari  laa  ilaaha  illallaahu  a’dadal h’ajari   wal   madari   laa   ilaaha   illallaahu   a’dada   lamh’il u’yooni laa ilaaha illallaahu fil laili idhaa a’s-a’s wa fis’ s’ub- h’i  idhaa  tanaffasa  laa  ilaaha  illallaahu  a’dadar  riyaah’i  fil baraariyyi was’ s’ukhoori laa ilaaha illallaahu minal yaumi ilaa  yaumi  yunfakhu  fis’  s’oor’  ten  times  during  these  ten days the Almighty Allah would reward him a rank equaling pearls and rubies in Paradise for each Tahleel. There would be a distance equal to that of traveling a hundred years on a fast vehicle between each rank. There would be a city on each level having a castle made of precious stone and those cities won’t be cut off from each other. They would have surrounding  walls,  forts,  high-rises,  houses,  wives,  beds, Hoorul  Ein,  food  laid  on  tables,  servants,  rivers,  trees, ornaments and dresses. No one can describe them. When that person comes out of grave, each and every hair on his body  would  be  illuminated  and  seventy  thousand  angels would  surround  him  and  walk  with  him  till  the  door  of Paradise.  When  this  person  enters  Paradise,  the  angels would  follow  him  until  they  reach  the  city,  whose  outer appearance would be like that of a ruby and it would be like green  emerald  from  inside.  It  will  have  all  sorts  of  things created  by  Allah  in  Paradise.  When  they  reach  here,  he would be told, “O loved one of Allah! Do you know which city is this and what all things it has?” He would reply, “I don’t know but who are you?” They  would say, “We are angels. When you recited Laa ilaaha illallaah in the world, we saw you and this city along with the servants is for you. You  would  be  given  a  better  reward  from  the  Almighty Allah. You will see in Darus Salaam, the neighborhood of Allah what He has given you. You will see that this reward would  never  be  taken  back.”  The  narrator  says  that  one must recite this supplication much so that one is rewarded more.
