5. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from certain individuals of his people from in a marfu ’ manner from the Imam (a.s.) who has said the following: “Say after the morning prayer, ‘O Lord, to You belongs all praise, the eternal praise, with Your eternity, to You belongs all praise, the praise that does end before Your consent, to You belongs all praise, the timeless praise except as Your wish, to You belongs all praise, a praise whose speaker’s reward could be no other thing but Your approval, O Lord, to You belongs all praise, to You is the complaint and You are the supporter, O Lord, to You belongs all praise, as You deserve it, all praise belongs to Allah with all of His praiseworthy attributes for all of His bounties until praising reaches such a degree that my Lord loves and is pleased with. ’ After the morning prayer and before speaking to anyone say, ‘All praise belongs to Allah, to the fill of the balance, to the limits of consent, to the weight of the Throne, may I glorfy Allah, Who is free of all defects, to the fill of the balance, to the limits of assent and the weight of the Throne,’ four times, then say, ‘O Lord, I plead before You like a lowly servant to grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, forgive our sins, grant our wishes in this world and in the hereafter with ease and good health.’”
