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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’”

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.)

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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’”

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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’””

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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.’””

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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, 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.”’”

27. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu‘alla’ ibn Muhammad from al-Washsha’ from Aban from Muhammad al-Wasitiy who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, saying, ‘Do not go away before saying the following after every Salah (prayer). “I seek protection for myself and whatever my Lord has given me from Allah, the only One self-sufficient, who does not have any children, nor Himself is anyone’s child and there is no one like Him.” (Chapter 112 of Holy Quran) “I seek protection for myself and for whatever my Lord has given me from 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 Lord 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).
