6ـ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الله بْنِ أَبِي الْقَاسِمِ ذَكَرَهُ عَمَّنْ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَدَائِنِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ لِي أَبُو عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ الْسَّلام) أَ لاَ أُعَلِّمُكَ شَيْئاً تَقُولُهُ فِي صَلاَةِ جَعْفَرٍ فَقُلْتُ بَلَى فَقَالَ إِذَا كُنْتَ فِي آخِرِ سَجْدَةٍ مِنَ الأرْبَعِ رَكَعَاتٍ فَقُلْ إِذَا فَرَغْتَ مِنْ تَسْبِيحِكَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لَبِسَ الْعِزَّ وَالْوَقَارَ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ تَعَطَّفَ بِالْمَجْدِ وَتَكَرَّمَ بِهِ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ لاَ يَنْبَغِي التَّسْبِيحُ إِلاَّ لَهُ سُبْحَانَ مَنْ أَحْصَى كُلَّ شَيْ‏ءٍ عِلْمُهُ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْمَنِّ وَالنِّعَمِ سُبْحَانَ ذِي الْقُدْرَةِ وَالْكَرَمِ اللهمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ بِمَعَاقِدِ الْعِزِّ مِنْ عَرْشِكَ وَمُنْتَهَى الرَّحْمَةِ مِنْ كِتَابِكَ وَاسْمِكَ الأعْظَمِ وَكَلِمَاتِكَ التَّامَّةِ الَّتِي تَمَّتْ صِدْقاً وَعَدْلاً صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَافْعَلْ بِي كَذَا وَكَذَا.

Published English translation

6. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ‘Abd Allah ibn abu al-Qasim who has narrated from those who narrated to him from abu Sa‘id al-Mada’iniy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), said, ‘Should I teach you something to say after Salah (prayer) of Ja‘far?’ I replied, ‘Yes, please do so.’ The Imam said, ‘In the last sajdah of the fourth Rak‘at after Tasbihat (plural of Tasbih) say this. “O the One who has dressed up in majesty and dignity, (You are the one) who is kind with glory and is gracious with glory. (You are), the One, besides whom no one deserves Tasbih (glorification). (You are) the One whose knowledge has encompassed all things, the bountiful and generous, the One who does favors with additional generosity, the powerful and gracious. I appeal to You through the majestic qualities of Your Throne and the limits of mercy from Your book and through Your great, the most High name and perfect words in all truth and justice. Allahumma Salli ‘Ala Muhammad wa ‘Ali Muhammad (O Allah grant Muhammad and his family a compensation worthy of their serving Your cause)’, please make my such and such wishes come true.’””
