1398 - قَالَ اَلصَّادِقُ عَلَيْهِ اَلسَّلاَمُ: «إِذَا أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَقُومَ إِلَى صَلاَةِ اَللَّيْلِ فَقُلِ: اَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَتَوَجَّهُ إِلَيْكَ بِنَبِيِّكَ نَبِيِّ اَلرَّحْمَةِ وَ آلِهِ وَ أُقَدِّمُهُمْ بَيْنَ يَدَيْ حَوَائِجِي فَاجْعَلْنِي بِهِمْ «وَجِيهاً فِي اَلدُّنْيٰا وَ اَلْآخِرَةِ وَ مِنَ اَلْمُقَرَّبِينَ» اَللَّهُمَّ اِرْحَمْنِي بِهِمْ وَ لاَ تُعَذِّبْنِي بِهِمْ، وَ اِهْدِنِي بِهِمْ وَ لاَ تُضِلَّنِي بِهِمْ وَ اُرْزُقْنِي بِهِمْ وَ لاَ تَحْرِمْنِي بِهِمْ وَ اِقْضِ لِي حَوَائِجِي لِلدُّنْيَا وَ اَلْآخِرَةِ «إِنَّكَ عَلىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ» وَ «بِكُلِّ شَيْءٍ عَلِيمٌ».

Hadith.1398 - Imam Jafar ibn Muhammad Al-Sadiq (as) said: "When you wish to stand for the night prayer, say: 'O’ Allah (swt), I turn to You by Your Prophet, the Prophet of Mercy, and his family, and I present them before my needs. Make me, through them, 'honorable in this world and the Hereafter, and among those brought near (to You).' ‘ O’ Allah (swt), have mercy on me through them, do not punish me through them, guide me through them, do not lead me astray through them, provide for me through them, and do not deprive me through them. Fulfil my needs for this world and the Hereafter, for indeed, You have power over all things and You have knowledge of all things.'"
