16. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from son of brother of Sa’Id from Sa’Id ibn Yasar who has said the following: “Once I said to Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام that I suffer from sadness. The Imam instructed me to say very often, ‘Allah, Allah, my Lord, I do not believe in anything as His partner,’ if the insinuation and evil thoughts reduce then say, ‘O Lord, I am Your servant, son of Your servant and the son of Your female servant, my forehead is in Your control. Your judgment about me is just. Your determination about me is effective. O Lord, I plead before You through every name that is Your name that You have revealed in Your book, or have taught it to any of Your creatures, or has kept in the unseen knowledge with You, to bestow al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, make the Holy Quran the light for my eyes, the spring for my heart, removal of my sadness, and banishment of my anxiety. Allah, Allah, my Lord, I do not believe in anything as His partner.’”
