4ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ عَامِرٍ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ مَهْزِيَارَ عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْهَاشِمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي حَفْصٍ الْعَطَّارِ شَيْخٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ الله (صلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِه) إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمُ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَخَرَجَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ فَلْيَقِفْ بِبَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ ثُمَّ لْيَقُلِ اللهمَّ دَعَوْتَنِي فَأَجَبْتُ دَعْوَتَكَ وَصَلَّيْتُ مَكْتُوبَتَكَ وَانْتَشَرْتُ فِي أَرْضِكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنِي فَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَمَلَ بِطَاعَتِكَ وَاجْتِنَابَ سَخَطِكَ وَالْكَفَافَ مِنَ الرِّزْقِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ.

Published English translation

4. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from ‘Abd Allah ibn ‘Amir from Ali ibn Mahziyar from Ja‘far ibn Muhammad al-Hashimiy from abu Hafs al-‘Attar -Shaykh of the people of Madinah who has said the following: “I heard abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), say. ‘The Messenger of Allah has said, “When any one of you after completing an obligatory Salah (prayer), wants to leave a Masjid he should stand at the door and say, ‘O Lord You called me and I answered Your call. I performed my obligatory Salah (prayer). I want to move in Your land as You have commanded me. Now I ask You to help me to act in Your obedience, avoid making You angry with me and suffice me in matters of my sustenance through Your mercy.”””
