1ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ لاَ يَنْبَغِي لِلإِمَامِ أَنْ يَنْتَقِلَ إِذَا سَلَّمَ حَتَّى يُتِمَّ مَنْ خَلْفَهُ الصَّلاَةَ قَالَ وَسَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يَؤُمُّ فِي الصَّلاَةِ هَلْ يَنْبَغِي لَهُ أَنْ يُعَقِّبَ بِأَصْحَابِهِ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ فَقَالَ يُسَبِّحُ وَيَذْهَبُ مَنْ شَاءَ لِحَاجَتِهِ وَلاَ يُعَقِّبُ رَجُلٌ لِتَعْقِيبِ الإِمَامِ.

1. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn abu ‘ Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘It is not proper for an Imam to move from his place after saying the phrase of offering greeting of peace before people behind him complete their Salah (prayer). He (the narrator) has said that I asked him (the Imam) about a man who leads others in Salah (prayer) if it is necessary for him to say follow up supplications, after the phrase of offering greeting of peace, along with those who have followed him in Salah (prayer). He (the Imam) said, ‘He says Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) and thereafter whoever wants leaves for their needs and a man does not say the follow up supplications because the Imam is doing so.’” 

2ـ عَلِيٌّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ أَبِي بَصِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ أَمَّ قَوْماً فَعَلَيْهِ أَنْ يَقْعُدَ بَعْدَ التَّسْلِيمِ وَلاَ يَخْرُجَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَوْضِعِ حَتَّى يُتِمَّ الَّذِينَ خَلْفَهُ الَّذِينَ سُبِقُوا صَلاَتَهُمْ ذَلِكَ عَلَى كُلِّ إِمَامٍ وَاجِبٌ إِذَا عَلِمَ أَنَّ فِيهِمْ مَسْبُوقاً وَإِنْ عَلِمَ أَنْ لَيْسَ فِيهِمْ مَسْبُوقٌ بِالصَّلاَةِ فَلْيَذْهَبْ حَيْثُ شَاءَ.

2. Ali has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from abu Basir from who has said the following: “Whoever leads a people in Salah (prayer) must sit down after the phrase of offering greeting of peace and must not leave that place until those behind him complete (their Salah (prayer)) which is completed after (the Salah (prayer) of the Imam). It is obligatory for every Imam if they know that there are people who have not completed their Salah (prayer). When he finds out that everyone has completed and no one is left he then can go wherever he wants.’” (Ahadith 1 and 2 are best explained in the form of fatwa.) 

3ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ حَدِيدٍ عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ يُونُسَ عَمَّنْ ذَكَرَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ صَلَّى صَلاَةً فَرِيضَةً وَعَقَّبَ إِلَى أُخْرَى فَهُوَ ضَيْفُ الله وَحَقٌّ عَلَى الله أَنْ يُكْرِمَ ضَيْفَهُ.

3. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn Hadid from Manur ibn Yunus from those whom he has mentioned who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If after completing an obligatory Salah (prayer), one remains in his place for ta‘qib (praying and speaking to Allah) up to the time of the next Salah (prayer), he is a guest of Allah and it is a right in his favor before Allah to honor His guest.’”

4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban ibn ‘Uthman from al-Hassan ibn al-Mughirah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘The excellence of prayer, after an obligatory Salah (prayer), over prayers after non-obligatory Salah (prayer), is like the excellence of obligatory Salah (prayer) over non-obligatory Salah (prayer).’ The Imam then said, ‘Pray to Allah and do not say that matters are settled. Prayer is worshipping. Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, has said, “Those who belittle worshipping Me will go to hell in humiliation.” He has also said, “Pray to Me. I answer your prayers.” (40:60) The Imam then said, ‘When you want to pray to Allah, you should speak of His glory. You should praise Him, speak of His Majesty, say that He is the only Lord who must be worshipped and speak of His praise. You should say, “Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause),” then ask for your needs, you will receive what you need.’”

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Prayer after an obligatory Salah (prayer) is better than after non-obligatory Salah (prayer).”’ 

6ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الأشْعَرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ سِنَانٍ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) مَنْ سَبَّحَ تَسْبِيحَ فَاطِمَةَ الزَّهْرَاءِ (عَلَيْهِا الْسَّلام) قَبْلَ أَنْ يَثْنِيَ رِجْلَيْهِ مِنْ صَلاَةِ الْفَرِيضَةِ غَفَرَ الله لَهُ وَلْيَبْدَأْ بِالتَّكْبِيرِ.

6. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad al-Ash’ariy has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from ‘Abd Allah ibn Sinan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘One who reads Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al- Salam, after an obligatory Salah (prayer) and before moving his legs away from his position Allah forgives him and he should begin with al-Takbir (Allahu Akbar).”’

7. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from Yahya ibn Muhammad, from Ali ibn al-Nu‘man from ibn abu Najran from a man who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If one speaks of the glory of Allah after completing an obligatory Salah (prayer) in the form of Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, one hundred times and following this says, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah,” Allah forgives him.’” 

8ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ عُثْمَانَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُذَافِرٍ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) فَسَأَلَهُ أَبِي عَنْ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فَقَالَ الله أَكْبَرُ حَتَّى أَحْصَاهَا أَرْبَعاً وَثَلاَثِينَ مَرَّةً ثُمَّ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لله حَتَّى بَلَغَ سَبْعاً وَسِتِّينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ سُبْحَانَ الله حَتَّى بَلَغَ مِائَةً يُحْصِيهَا بِيَدِهِ جُمْلَةً وَاحِدَةً.

8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Amr ibn ‘Uthman from Muhammad ibn ‘Adhafir who has said the following: “Once my father and I went to see abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), and my father asked him about Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam. The Imam said, ‘Allahu Akbar’ thirty four times. Then he said, ‘Al-Hamdu Li Allah’ up to sixty-seven. He then said, ‘Subhana Allah’ up to one hundred. He was counting all of them with his hand in one successive order to one hundred.”

9. Ali ibn Muhammad has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid from Safwan from ibn Muskan from abu Basir who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that one should begin Tasbih of Fatimah, ‘Alayha al- Salam, with Takbir (Allah is great) thirty-four times, Tahmid (all praise belongs to Allah) thirty-three times and Tasbih (Allah is free of all defects) thirty-three times.”

Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn Isma’il ibn Bazi‘ from al-Khaybariy from al-Husayn ibn Thuwayr and Abi Salamah al-Sarraj, they both said: “We heard Aba ‘Abdillah (a.s.) cursing, after every obligatory prayer, four men and four women: so-and-so, so-and-so, so-and-so, and Muawiyah. He would name them. And so-and-so, so-and-so, Hind, and Umm al-Hakam, the sister of Muawiyah.”

11. Ahmad ibn Idris from Muhammad ibn Ahmad in a marfu‘ manner has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘If you face uncertainty about Tasbih of Fatimah al- Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, say it again.’”

12. It is narrated from the narrator of previous Hadith from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ya‘qub ibn Yazid from Muhammad ibn Ja‘far from those whom he has mentioned has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), would say Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, continuously without interruption.”

13. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-ffusayn from Muhammad ibn Ismai’l ibn Bazi‘ from Salih ibn ‘Uqbah from abu Harun al-Makfuf who has said the following: “Once abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘O abu Harun, we command our children to read Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, just as we command them to say Salah (prayer). You must hold to it; whoever holds to it does not become unfortunate.”’

14. Through the same chain of narrators as the previous Hadith it is narrated from Salih ibn ‘Uqbah from ‘Uqbah who has said the following: “Abu Ja‘far (a.s.), has said, ‘In worshipping Allah in the form of praises no other thing is better than Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam. If anything other than this could make a better gift the Messenger of Allah would have instead given to Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam.’” 

15ـ وَعَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي خَالِدٍ الْقَمَّاطِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ تَسْبِيحُ فَاطِمَةَ (عَلَيْهِا الْسَّلام) فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ صَلاَةِ أَلْفِ رَكْعَةٍ فِي كُلِّ يَوْمٍ.

15. It is narrated from the same narrator as the previous Hadith from abu Khalid al-Qammat who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, every day after every Salah (prayer) is more beloved to me than one thousand Rak‘at prayer every day.’” 

16ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادٍ عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ أَقَلُّ مَا يُجْزِئُكَ مِنَ الدُّعَاءِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ أَنْ تَقُولَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ كُلِّ خَيْرٍ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ أَحَاطَ بِهِ عِلْمُكَ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عَافِيَتَكَ فِي أُمُورِي كُلِّهَا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ خِزْيِ الدُّنْيَا وَعَذَابِ الآخِرَةِ.

16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad from Hariz from Zurarah who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘The least that you should say after an obligatory Salah (prayer) is to say, ‘O Lord, I ask from You of all good which Your knowledge has encompassed, and seek refuge with You against every evil thing that Your knowledge has encompassed. O Lord, I ask from You good health in all of my affairs and I seek refuge with You against failures in this life and torment in the next life.’”

17. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Khalid from his father from al-Qasim ibn ‘Urwah from abu al-‘Abbas al-Fadl ibn ‘Abd al-Malik who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Prayers are answered in four conditions and instances of time: One is the prayer during one’s doing Salah (prayer) of Witr, after Salah (prayer) of Fajr (Morning Prayer), after Salah (prayer) at noon time and upon completion of Salah (prayer) of Maghrib (after sunset).”’ 

18ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ أَبَانٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ الْوَاسِطِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ لاَ تَدَعْ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ أُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِالله الْوَاحِدِ الصَّمَدِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَأُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا وَأُعِيذُ نَفْسِي وَمَا رَزَقَنِي رَبِّي بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ حَتَّى تَخْتِمَهَا.

18. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Aban from Muhammad al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Do not go away before saying the following after every Salah (prayer): “I seek protection, for myself and whatever my Lord has given me, with Allah, the only One self-sufficient, who does not have any children. He Himself is not anyone’s child. There is no one like Him (Chapter 112 of Holy Quran). I seek protection, for myself and for whatever my Lord has given me, with the Lord who has brought about the opening, against whatever evil He has created, against the evil of incoming darkness, the evil of those who perform magic and against the ill desires of envious ones (Chapter 113 of the Holy Quran). I seek protection, for myself and for whatever my Lord has given me, with the Cherisher of the people, the owner of the people, the Lord of the people against the evil temptation of al-Khannas, who incites the heart of people, in the form of Jinn and man (Chapter 114 of the Holy Quran).””’ 

19ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ حَرِيزٍ عَنْ زُرَارَةَ قَالَ قَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) لاَ تَنْسَوُا الْمُوجِبَتَيْنِ أَوْ قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالْمُوجِبَتَيْنِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ قُلْتُ وَمَا الْمُوجِبَتَانِ قَالَ تَسْأَلُ الله الْجَنَّةَ وَتَعُوذُ بِالله مِنَ النَّارِ.

19. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Hammad ibn ‘Isa from Hariz from Zurarah, who has said the following: “Abu Ja’far (a.s.), has said, ‘Do not forget’ - or that he said ‘you must not forget appealing before Allah after every obligatory Salah (prayer) about the two essential matters.’ I then asked, ‘What are the two essential matters?’ The Imam replied, ‘Appealing before Allah for paradise and seeking refuge with Allah against the fire.”’ 

20ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَحْمَدَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقَاسَانِيِّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ حَفْصٍ الْمَرْوَزِيِّ قَالَ كَتَبَ إِلَيَّ الرَّجُلُ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) فِي سَجْدَةِ الشُّكْرِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ شُكْراً شُكْراً وَإِنْ شِئْتَ عَفْواً عَفْواً.

20. Muhammad ibn Yahya and Ahmad ibn Idris have narrated from Muhammad ibn Ahmad from Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy from Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Sulayman ibn Hafs al-Marwaziy who has said the following: “The man (a.s.), wrote to me the following: ’During sajdah when expressing thanks to Allah say, “Shukran” one hundred times - or if you wanted - say “’Afwan ‘Afwan.’”” 

21ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ بِإِسْنَادِهِ عَنْ سَمَاعَةَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) قَالَ مَنْ سَبَقَتْ أَصَابِعُهُ لِسَانَهُ حُسِبَ لَهُ.

21. Muhammad ibn al-Hassan has narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad through his chain of narrators from Sama‘ah ibn Mehran who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Whoever’ s fingers may move faster than his tongue it is counted in his favor (according to the movement of the former).”’ 

22ـ عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْعِجْلِيِّ مَوْلَى أَبِي الْمَغْرَاءِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ ثَلاَثٌ أُعْطِينَ سَمْعَ الْخَلاَئِقِ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ وَالْحُورُ الْعِينُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى الْعَبْدُ وَقَالَ اللهمَّ أَعْتِقْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ وَأَدْخِلْنِي الْجَنَّةَ وَزَوِّجْنِي مِنَ الْحُورِ الْعِينِ قَالَتِ النَّارُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ أَنْ تُعْتِقَهُ مِنِّي فَأَعْتِقْهُ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ سَأَلَكَ إِيَّايَ فَأَسْكِنْهُ فِيَّ وَقَالَتِ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ يَا رَبِّ إِنَّ عَبْدَكَ قَدْ خَطَبَنَا إِلَيْكَ فَزَوِّجْهُ مِنَّا فَإِنْ هُوَ انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلاَتِهِ وَلَمْ يَسْأَلِ الله شَيْئاً مِنْ هَذِهِ قُلْنَ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِينَا لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ الْجَنَّةُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَزَاهِدٌ وَقَالَتِ النَّارُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْعَبْدَ فِيَّ لَجَاهِلٌ.

22. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Ali ibn al-Hakam from Dawud al-‘Ijliy Mawla’ of abu al- Mighra’ who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘Three things are given the power to hear creatures. They are paradise, the fire and al-Hur al-‘Ayn. When a servant of Allah completes his Salah (prayer) then pleads and says, “O Lord, set me free from the fire, admit me in paradise and join me as a pair with al-Hur al-‘Ayn.” The fire then says, “O Lord, Your servant has pleaded before You to set him free from me, so please set him free.” Paradise will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to You to make me his dwelling so please make his wish to come true.” Al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “O Lord, Your servant has prayed to be joined in pairs with us so please make his wish to come true.” But if he goes away after completing his Salah (prayer) without praying to Allah for any of these things, al-Hur al-‘Ayn will say, “This servant of Allah has abstained from being joined in pairs with us.” Paradise will say, “This servant has abstained from praying to live in me.” The fire will say, “This servant is ignorant about me.’”” 

23ـ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ رَفَعَهُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) دُعَاءً يُدْعَى بِهِ فِي دُبُرِ كُلِّ صَلاَةٍ تُصَلِّيهَا فَإِنْ كَانَ بِكَ دَاءٌ مِنْ سَقَمٍ وَوَجَعٍ فَإِذَا قَضَيْتَ صَلاَتَكَ فَامْسَحْ بِيَدِكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ سُجُودِكَ مِنَ الأرْضِ وَادْعُ بِهَذَا الدُّعَاءِ وَأَمِرَّ بِيَدِكَ عَلَى مَوْضِعِ وَجَعِكَ سَبْعَ مَرَّاتٍ تَقُولُ يَا مَنْ كَبَسَ الأرْضَ عَلَى الْمَاءِ وَسَدَّ الْهَوَاءَ بِالسَّمَاءِ وَاخْتَارَ لِنَفْسِهِ أَحْسَنَ الأسْمَاءِ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَافْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَارْزُقْنِي كَذَا وَكَذَا وَعَافِنِي مِنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا.

23. Ahmad ibn Muhammad has narrated in a marfu‘ manner a prayer that can be said after every Salah (prayer): “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that if one has an illness or pain somewhere in his body he, after completing a Salah (prayer), should touch the place of his sajdah with his hand. He should say this prayer and wipe, seven times, on the painful or ailing part of his body. “( O Lord, it is You ), O the One who has pressed the earth upon the water, held the air in the sky, chosen for Himself the most beautiful names. - Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad, (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause), - please make my such and such wishes to come true and grant me good health in such and such conditions.’”” 

24ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِيسَى عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْمَاعِيلَ السَّرَّاجِ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ شَجَرَةَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَنَّهُ قَالَ تَمْسَحُ بِيَدِكَ الْيُمْنَى عَلَى جَبْهَتِكَ وَوَجْهِكَ فِي دُبُرِ الْمَغْرِبِ وَالصَّلَوَاتِ وَتَقُولُ بِسْمِ الله الَّذِي لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ هُوَ عَالِمِ الْغَيْبِ وَالشَّهَادَةِ الرَّحْمَنِ الرَّحِيمِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنَ الْهَمِّ وَالْحَزَنِ وَالسُّقْمِ وَالْعُدْمِ وَالصَّغَارِ وَالذُّلِّ وَالْفَوَاحِشِ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ.

24. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Muhammad ibn ’Isma‘il from abu ’Isma‘il al-Sarraj from Ali ibn Shajarah from Muhammad ibn Marwan who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said, ‘Wipe with your right hand your forehead after Maghrib Salah (prayer) after sunset and other Salawat (prayers) and say, “In the name of Allah besides whom no one deserves to be worshipped. He has the knowledge of the unseen and seen, the Beneficent, the Merciful. O Lord, I seek refuge with You against anxiety, sadness, illness, deficiencies, lowliness, humiliation and the apparent and concealed indecencies.’”” 

25ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ عَنِ الْعَلاَءِ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ أَبَا جَعْفَرٍ (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) عَنِ التَّسْبِيحِ فَقَالَ مَا عَلِمْتُ شَيْئاً مَوْقُوفاً غَيْرَ تَسْبِيحِ فَاطِمَةَ (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) وَعَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ بَعْدَ الْغَدَاةِ تَقُولُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ الله وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَيُمِيتُ وَيُحْيِي بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْ‏ءٍ قَدِيرٌ وَلَكِنَّ الإِنْسَانَ يُسَبِّحُ مَا شَاءَ تَطَوُّعاً.

25. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from af-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Fadalah from al-‘Ala’ from Muhammad ibn Muslim who has said the following: “I asked abu Ja‘far (a.s.), about Tasbih. The Imam replied, T do not know of any Tasbih in a prescribed manner except Tasbih of Fatimah al-Zahra’, ‘Alayha al-Salam, and to say ten times after the morning, “No one deserves to be worshipped except Allah alone Who has no partner. To Him belongs the kingdom and He deserves all praise. He gives life and causes death, causes death and gives life. In His hand is all good and He has power over all things,” but one may say as many Tasbih as one likes.’”

26. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from Muhammad ibn Sinan from ‘Abd al-Malik al-Qummiy from Idris his brother who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say, ‘When you complete your Salah (prayer) say this. “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You under Your guardianship, the guardianship of Your messenger and the guardianship of ’A’immah, the first to the last Imam. . .” You should mention the name of each Imam. Then say, “O Lord, I follow Your religion in obedience to You and under their guardianship. I am happy for the excellence that You have granted them without being arrogant or assuming arrogance against what You have revealed in Your book in the form of that which is reached to us as well as what is not reached us. I believe, affirm and submit to such facts. I am happy with that with which You are happy, O Lord. I seek thereby Your happiness and the eternal living in the next life. I am fearful and I desire to be ( acceptable) before You. Give me life as long as You will with this (belief), cause me to die with it (belief) when You cause me to die and raise me when You raise me with it (belief). If I may have had shortcomings in the past, I repent before You and I desire to come before You for the bounties You own. I plead before You to protect me against disobedience to You and do not leave me to myself for a blinking of an eye as long as You keep me living, no less or more than such time. The soul motivates toward evil, except those whom You through Your mercy protect, 0 Most Merciful, Most Beneficent. I plead before You to protect me with (my) obedience to You until I die with it (belief in and obedience to You) when You are happy with me and make my life end up with salvation. Please do not ever turn me away from it (salvation); there is no power without You.”’”
