8. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad and abu Dawud from al-Husayn ibn SaTd from Fadalah ibn Ayyub from Mu‘awiyah ibn Wahab from Zurarah who has said the following:

“Abu ‘Abd Allah , has said that one who wishes that his Lord make his wish come true should feed sixty destitute people as an act of charity, one sa‘ (three kilograms), by the sa‘ of the Holy Prophet, of food per person. At night during the last third of the night, take a shower and dress in minimum form, except that it must have a loincloth. Then he should perform two Rak‘at Salah (prayer). When placing his forehead on the ground in the last sajdah of the last Rak‘at, he should say that no one, other than Allah, deserves worship, speak of His greatness, His Holiness, His glory and then remember his sins and confess, as much as he remembers, name them (one by one), committing them then raise his head. When he places his forehead on the ground for the second sajdah, he should ask Allah, one hundred times, to choose for him the best, saying, ‘O Allah, I ask You to choose for me the best.’ Then pray to Allah for whatever he wants. Whenever in sajdah he should expose his knees to touch the ground and secure the loincloth from behind between his legs.”
