1. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn ‘Isa from Ali ibn al-Nu’Man from certain individuals of his people from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “Amir al-Mu’minin, Ali ibn abu Talib (a.s.) has said, ‘Whoever just before beginning the prayer says the following will be with Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant: ‘O Lord, I am turning to You through Muhammad and his family, recipients of divine supreme covenant. I assign them as the lead for me before my prayer and seek nearness through them to You, grant me respect through them in this world and in the next life and of those close (to You). You have obliged me for making me know them, conclude for me with obedience to them, knowing them well, and under their guardianship; it is the salvation and end it for me in this (belief). You have power over all things.’ Then complete the prayer and say, ‘O Lord, place me with Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant, in good health and in suffering, place me with Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant, in every dwelling and place of return. O Lord, help me to live in the way of life of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant, and die like the death of Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, recipients of divine supreme covenant, place me with them in all habitations and do not separate me from them. You have power over all things.’”
