21. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) in a marfu ’ manner from abu Ja’far who instructed his brother ‘Abd Allah ibn Ali with following supplication:

“O Lord, raise the degree of my knowledge upwards, do not allow any enemy or envier to become covetous of me, protect me standing, sitting, awake or sleeping. O Lord, forgive me, favor me, guide me to Y our straight path, save me from the heat of hell, shake off of me my liabilities and sins and make me of the best of best of the world.”
