Muhammad ibn Ali ibn Mahbub from Ahmad ibn al-Hasan ibn Ali ibn Faddal from his father from al-Hasan ibn al-Jahm from Abu Ali from al-Yasa‘ al-Qummi who said: I said to Abu Abdillah عليه السلام, peace be upon him: “I desire something and I seek guidance from Allah سبحانه وتعالى (perform istikhara) about it, but no clarity comes to mind regarding it, should I do it or leave it?” Imam عليه السلام said: “Observe when you stand for prayer, for Satan is furthest from the human being when he stands for prayer. So observe what settles in your heart, and act upon it. And open the Mushaf and look at the first thing you see in it act upon it, if Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, wills.”
